Li Tai returned to the inner room to wash up for a while, changed into a regular home clothes, and suddenly a pair of slender arms tightly wrapped around his waist from behind.

Smelling this familiar body fragrance, Li Tai didn't need to look back to know that it was his own lady. He was about to turn around and hug the lady, but the little lady refused to let go of her arms, she still hugged her tightly, and pressed her face against Li Tai's back, and murmured: "The husband is finally home, I miss you so much!" ”

Li Tai heard this whisper and whispered his thoughts, and his heart became very soft, he raised his hand to hold the little lady's green and white fingers twisted in front of his abdomen, and said with a smile: "My family is coming west, but I am not at home." This time has been hard for the lady, and I want to thank the men, women and children in the household for the proper arrangement. ”

"The husband hasn't seen the aunt yet, how do you know that the concubine has arranged the family affairs properly?"

When the little lady heard this, she first pursed her lips and chuckled, then let go of her arms, and let her husband come in front of her, before she raised her pretty face and smiled: "But the husband is not wrong, the concubine really arranged things very well!" My aunt is really a very kind and kind man, and occasionally the concubine does not blame her for doing something wrong, and if she does it well, she will praise me for being happy and shy. The concubine finally knew why her husband spoke so movingly, it seemed that it was all taught by her aunt. ”

Li Tai couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then asked, "The father-in-law has already arranged for the guest room?" Let's go meet my mother. ”

Miao Yin had been waiting for her husband in the inner hall before, and when she heard that her father was drunk and entered the house, she hurriedly retired and arranged accommodation, and when she heard her husband's words, she couldn't help but sigh and complain: "Since Aya returned to the court, Xu is worried that he has no money to enter the ministry, and there are many children waiting to be raised, and he has been drunk in my house for three or five days out of ten days. ”

"Relatives have always been more and more intimate when they move around, when they were lonely and weak, their father-in-law did not give up, and now they are shallow, how can they be stingy with food and accommodation. What's more, the father-in-law is worried that Aya is not used to the personnel customs of Guanzhong, so he will take special care of it. With the prestige and reputation of the father-in-law, who will not be treated as a guest when visiting someone's house? ”

When Li Tai heard this, he also said with a smile, and even took the lady's hand and walked out of the room.

The light in the inner hall of the mansion was soft, and several women were sitting in their own seats, and sitting above the inner hall was Li Xiao's wife Lu. Lu is in his early forties, with a gentle temperament and a good face, but due to poor maintenance, he looks a little older than the ladies of the same age.

Although the Li family in Longxi is a famous family in the world, after the change in Heyin, they fled to Hebei and sent people under the fence, and the family's life is naturally no longer as good as when they lived in Luoyang, and they need to cultivate their own food and clothing. When the wind and rain are unbalanced during the busy farming season, not only the men in the family, but even the mother of the Lu family needs to work in the fields. A large family eats horses and chews, and firewood, rice, oil and salt urge people to grow old, so naturally there is no maintenance.

But this contribution is not without gains, after the family fled to Hebei, the nephews have become families one after another, and they still respect the Lu family like their own mother. Especially after Li Xiao and Li Tai, father and son, left Hebei and disappeared, the two sons in the household were still young, and the nephews and nephews not only took a lot of care of their uncles and cousins in life, but also gave great encouragement spiritually.

For example, when Li Yunxin contacted and rescued the family this year, the nephews of the same clan walked with their families without missing a single one, which shows the depth of their family's affection. It must be known that at that time, Li Tai's series of feats had not yet reached Jinyang, and this kind of migration across the border was already dangerous and extremely risky.

But these clansmen still went here without hesitation, Li Tai just provided them with an opportunity, and they were willing to come together, probably just like their uncle led them to Hebei to flee, and now they are in the prime of life and have a family, so they escort their uncle to Guanzhong to reunite with their uncle.

At this moment, while waiting for Li Tai to return to his home, the family members chatted about their lives and feelings since they came to Kansai.

Kansai is poor and weak while Hebei is rich and strong, which can be regarded as a deep-rooted concept in Shiliu's heart. Therefore, when they were in Jinyang before, when the men in the household decided to accompany their uncle to the west, the women would inevitably have other thoughts in their hearts, worried that coming to the west would have a great impact on the family's livelihood and future.

However, when they actually set foot in Kansai, what they saw and felt was very different from what they had imagined. From the moment they crossed the Yellow River, everyone they met greeted them with a smile and took great care of them, and the treatment they received was also the top. Whether it is in the remote northern states, or in Huazhou and Chang'an, which are the core of Guanzhong, they have not received any cold reception.

Perhaps Kansai as a whole is indeed much poorer and weaker than Hebei, but there is no obvious gap in the treatment and enjoyment of their family, but there is a stepwise leap. All kinds of apprehensions and hesitations in my heart before were naturally swept away, and my heart turned to rejoice.

All this is naturally because of the little uncle who had a bad impression and was almost useless except handsome in the old township, and he created a meritorious career in Kansai in just a few years after leaving his hometown!

"Lord Lang is here!"

As the servants outside the hall shouted to announce, everyone in the inner hall also turned their heads to look at the door. Lu's reaction was particularly big, the cup in his hand was knocked over, and he ignored the spilled buttermilk in the cup on the skirt, just staring out of the hall with his eyes stupid.

Li Tai walked into the hall, his eyes also fell on the mother directly above, the picture in his memory quickly flipped, and soon merged with what he saw in front of him, so he leaned down and bowed, and said, "Mother, my son is back." In the old years, there were many willful and reckless, tired and sad mothers, and children thought about the past and regretted them, and today they can finally worship their mothers and receive the cane before their knees. ”

Lu Shi seemed to be speechless at this moment, only staring at this familiar but strange son, tears couldn't help but flow out of her eyes, and she hurriedly wiped away her tears and blinked her eyes, lest a swaying son would disappear in front of her eyes again.

Several nephews and daughters-in-law in the hall naturally knew the sadness of this uncle's daily concern for her husband and son when she was in the Eastern Dynasty, and when they saw Lu's state at this time, they couldn't help but raise their hands to wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes with a towel.

Miaoyin, who followed her husband into the hall, looked at the aunt who was teary-eyed and had no shortage of eyes in the hall, and looked at the husband who was deeply worshiped and didn't dare to look up, and she was a little confused for a while, and she didn't know what to do.

After being stunned for a while, she suddenly remembered that she had been thinking hard for a long time and how to play a round when her husband and aunt met, so she hurriedly returned to her seat in the hall, took out a thin and soft strip from under the seat, and then gave it to Lu Shi with both hands and whispered: "If Auntie is still resentful, please use this thin cane to scold her husband." It's not, the concubine doesn't love her husband and protect her, but it's just that the ancients said that the big rod will go, and the small rod will be accepted, which is filial piety. The husband is full of famous horses in his stable, if he really escapes the cane and walks away, the aunt will definitely not be able to catch up, just use this! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but glance up at the thin cane in the lady's hand, and couldn't help but thank the lady for her "thoughtfulness".

After hearing this, Lu Shi couldn't help but glance at the thin strip, the corners of his mouth trembled, and even if he broke into a smile, the excitement and sadness in his heart were reduced a lot, and he really raised his hand to take the strip handed over by Miaoyin, and even knocked on the case and looked down at his son and reprimanded: "Didn't you hear the bride's virtuous words?" Don't hurry up and get the rod in front of you! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he could only walk to his mother's seat with his head and knees, and when he saw his mother raise his hand and wave the strip, he hurriedly said: "Mother is slow, only the sages can distinguish between the big and small staffs, and a stubborn person like this has always walked away when he sees the cane!" ”

These words suddenly evoked Lu's stubborn memories of his son's youth, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed true, Ah Pan refused to study with peace of mind when he was young, and a few young disciples wandered in the countryside, pulling mulberry to make bows, breaking willows and sharpening arrows, and he was afraid that Ye Niang would punish him, so he hid in the wild for several days, and when he found it, he was covered with mosquito and fly bites, and he was more miserable than a whip cane......"

Li Tai was suddenly embarrassed when he heard this, he had no memory of such a humiliating thing, probably only the mother did not dislike the ugly child, and would remember all the beautiful and naughty childhood stories of the child.

"When you were found, you still wanted to chastise, but I cherished and refused to. Now that I think about it, at that time, not only was it punished, but it was also punished! Your mother pities her son, but her son doesn't pity her mother, how can you bear to take my heart and liver, and I haven't heard from me for several years! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Shi was angry in his heart, and waved the strip and pumped it at his son.

Li Tai also sighed in his heart when he heard the sound, and directly lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders to meet him, and the strip fell lightly on his shoulder, and Lu Shicai said softly: "Mother doesn't complain about my son, but she feels sorry for my Ah Pan's hard work in the past few years."

When I was in the township, my family was still making a living, how much hard work did my Ah Pan suffer, and now I have properly settled all your father, brother and relatives in this country? Your mother can take kudzu and eat chaff, and she has never been afraid of poverty, but she just hopes that my son will stop and rest when he is tired and difficult! ”

After Li Tai heard this, his nose couldn't help but feel sour, his eyes suddenly damp, and he coughed lightly twice before he said: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm not an ignorant child, I naturally know how to rest when I'm tired." It is a long-term effort to support relatives, and the previous child was not good, and then it must be carefully worshipped to make up for the past! ”

When Lu Shi heard this, he nodded with relief, raised his hand to hold his son's arm and pulled him in front of him, and stared at him seriously for a while before raising his other hand to signal Miaoyin to come to her side as well.

After stacking the couple's palms together, Lu Shicai smiled at Miaoyin and said, "I have always been ashamed that I couldn't welcome the bride into the house in person, and I treated him a lot. But now that I see my son's demeanor as an adult, I secretly feel that this is enough to make up for the regret of my ancestor's absence from the ceremony.

The bride should not laugh at the old woman and the old woman, my son can be accompanied by a virtuous bride, and he is also a blessed person. Parents don't have any great treasures to pass on to you, what they can do is to teach the family style by word and deed, and the humility of the family is peaceful.

My son is now beyond the knowledge of his parents, and there is really nothing to teach here, the bride is a close relative who will be with you for the rest of your life, and my parents hope that you can complement each other. Although the world is big, it is only a family in detail, as long as the family is harmonious, everything will help! ”

"Auntie, please rest assured, the husband takes care of the concubine very much, and the concubine also loves the husband very much! As long as it is beneficial to my family, the concubine must do it carefully, even if she can't, she must learn it carefully! Although the concubine is not the best bride in the world, she has the best husband and aunt in the world. ”

When Miaoyin heard this, she hurriedly nodded vigorously to make a guarantee, and her little face was full of perseverance and seriousness.

Li Tai rarely had the details of getting along with his parents when he was young, but after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel that his mother was really a PUA master. It's a bit inaccurate to say this, it can only be said that his mother's emotional intelligence is really very high, and she is much better at creating and maintaining interpersonal relationships than his father, no wonder Miaoyin was full of praise when she talked about her mother-in-law just now.

This little lady was eager to be recognized by Li Tai's family, and happened to meet a mother-in-law with such a high emotional intelligence and speaking skills, so she must have lost herself in the praise of each sentence, and directly believed that she had the best aunt in the world.

Li Tai is also very pleased with this. Of course, people can't choose their own origins and parents, but according to their hearts, there are good and bad things in the family of origin.

A good family may not give a person a good start in their career, but it will certainly make people have a sound personality and mind, maintain a positive attitude and be more likely to succeed. Bad families have their own wickedness, which will cause constraints and drags down in all aspects.

Since Li Tai came to this world, his family has only existed in his memory and background for a long time, but it is Miaoyin, the little lady, who is infatuated with him and misses him, that makes him feel a lot.

Although he didn't say it, he was actually worried in his heart, as the clansmen came to Kansai, the personnel relations in the family also became complicated, and his own wife was afraid that it would not be easy to deal with.

Li Tai himself is not often at home, but he also does not want to lose the handling and maintenance of these interpersonal relationships to his mother, and he still thinks that if he is really not easy to get along with, he will simply live separately, and he can not give short greetings every day, so as not to let the family relationship that should be close and harmonious become the source of burden and unsatisfactory life.

But seeing that his mother handled these family interpersonal interactions with ease, it quickly made people feel close to each other, which naturally helped a lot to maintain family relationships.

The class of the latter three countries was very mobile, and people with different backgrounds became relatives and lived together. If the relationship between these family members is not properly handled, not only will there be no harmony within the family, but there may even be some political crisis in serious cases, such as Yang Jian's family.
