Chapter 3 The Li Family
"Sister-in-law, if you want to go to the ground, I'll help you." Li Mingmei came in and said.
Zhao Yunlan glanced at Li Mingmei, and in her memory, Li Mingmei was less than twelve years old! In the cognition of the past day and a half, Li Mingmei, a little girl, is really okay, busy from the inside out, not idle, neat, and has a good personality.
Zhao Yunlan nodded in response, in fact, she had already wanted to go to the toilet, but she had been thinking about it and diverted her attention a little, and when Li Mingmei said it, she had a feeling that she couldn't hold back.
Zhao Yunlan pressed her one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds on Li Mingmei, and watched Li Mingmei's hands were scratched white and she was still holding on.
Li Mingmei brought a rotten wooden barrel that was not used in the morning for Zhao Yunlan to use, and Zhao Yunlan didn't care about anything else at this time, she just wanted to solve the problem.
Li Mingmei stood next to her without touching her brows, and when Zhao Yunlan finished solving it and helped her back to the bed, Li Mingmei then picked up the filth and poured it into the toilet, and cleaned the wooden barrel and brought it back.
Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingmei because she was busy, and her favorability towards Li Mingmei doubled.
Li Mingmei went to bring Xiaobao over to see Zhao Yunlan again, Zhao Yunlan was very helpless at the moment, thinking that she had never been in love at the age of twenty-four, and this time she came here not only married but also had a child.
Well? Yes, where is my husband?
"Little sister, I'm always coughing cough~That Xianggong um~"
Zhao Yunlan wanted to ask where her cheap husband was, but she didn't see it, and then slowly recalled that the original owner's father-in-law went to school in the town, and he didn't go home often on weekdays, and he didn't often go home for the New Year!
According to the memory of the original body, the cheap Xianggong is the eldest in the family, named Li Mingren.
After Zhao Yunlan got married, she heard her mother-in-law, who is the Wang family, say that in the early days, the old Li family was still in good condition among the farmers, and the old man Li was his cheap father, and he was the only son in the family.
In troubled times, Old Man Li was born in this environment, and there were disaster victims everywhere outside, and the world was very chaotic, but because Qingshui Town, to which Lijia Village belongs, was located in a remote area, few people fled here.
During the war, there was a change of yamen for a while, and there was no proper management system, coupled with the chaos of the army outside, the forces of all parties increased their income everywhere, and there was a famine in Lijia Village, but because there was a shelter against the mountain, there was not enough food, everyone could grit their teeth and get through, and no one left Lijia Village in the end.
After Old Man Li was born, Old Man Li, who is also Li Mingren's grandfather, hoped that his son could grow up safely and that the war would end as soon as possible, so he named his son Li Ping'an, which is now Old Man Li.
During the war, people's food and clothing conditions were particularly poor, which led to a decline in people's fertility rate, and most of the children born could not be raised, and Mr. Li was also a capable person, desperately protecting the pregnant lady until the birth was completed. Li Ping'an was also born at term, although the old man Li has the ability, Li Ping'an's mother still injured her body, and she has never been pregnant again. Old man Li became the only son in the family.
When Li Ping'an was ten years old, a new dynasty was established, a new emperor established a new policy, various national systems began to be implemented, the devastated mountains and rivers began to have vitality, and the people's lives could slowly get a respite.
Mr. Li also felt indebted because his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and injured her body, so he worked very hard to farm on weekdays, and opened up six acres of wasteland by himself, and waited until the outside was more stable, and went to work part-time during the slack time, so that his daughter-in-law and children could be fed and clothed.
The old Li family has a small population, and the old man Li's parents died early, and he separated from his brothers before the war, so the old man Li's family has a small population, but because of this, the old man Li also earned some family business, and pushed the original wooden house to build a mud house.
Later, Wang Cuifen got married, three years after Li Mingren was born, the old man Li rescued an old Xiucai on the road outside the village, the old Xiucai was originally out to collect wind, and got lost in the mountains behind Lijia Village, and later met a wild boar, hurriedly dodged and slipped down the hillside, and it happened that the old man Li went to the mountain to pick up firewood and found the old Xiucai.
Lao Xiucai recuperated from his injuries in the Li family, and in return, Lao Xiucai gave Akihito to the three-year-old Li Goudan (virtual age) who had not yet been named at that time.
Lao Xiucai also taught Li Mingren to recognize words, although Xiao Mingren didn't recognize any words at that time, just followed by a vague reading, Lao Xiucai did praise Xiao Mingren for his good learning with encouraging education, and this encouragement made Old Man Li want to confess to the reader's mind.
Later, Lao Xiucai lived in this village and became the only gentleman in the nearby village, Li Mingren began to study, and later the second and third children of the Li family were born one after another, and they were also sent to Lao Xiucai's school to read and write.
When the third Li Mingli was four years old, Lao Xiu passed away.
There is no teacher in the school, and the children who study in the school can only continue to go back to farming, and some of them recognize some words and go to the town to be apprentices, only Li Mingren still goes home with books and continues to read.
Seeing this, Mr. Li made up his mind to send Li Mingren to school in the town, the second and third children stayed at home, and the fourth child was only two years old, and there was still one in the stomach that did not come out, and the population of the family increased, plus Li Mingren's grandmother was getting older and older at that time, and her health was getting worse and worse, and she needed to take medicine all day to maintain, and the family's economy could not keep up, so Mr. Li could only send Li Mingren to the school.
Li Mingren went to the town to study and found that he was not as talented in learning as Lao Xiucai boasted, and after trying to take the exam twice, the child did not pass the exam and got into the horns, and slowly only blindly studied, ignoring the affairs of the family.
A year after Li Mingren's grandmother left, the old man finally couldn't help but leave together, and the old man Li did not inherit the ability of the old man Li, but Wang Cuifen supported the family and continued to provide for the eldest son to study, while the other sons stayed at home to farm.
The two of them didn't know how to educate scholars, so they let Li Mingren study outside, so that now they can't do anything but study.
The children are getting older, and Wang Cuifen realizes that she is not in good health, so she makes the decision to set Zhao Yunlan, who is one year older than him, for Li Mingren.
Zhao Yunlan got married, Li Mingren rarely got along with Zhao Yunlan and cultivated feelings, Li Mingren rarely went home and read a book, Zhao Yunlan also has a reverence for readers on weekdays, and easily dare not disturb Li Mingren.
Wang's health is getting worse and worse, and he is afraid that he will not be able to survive it, so he urged Li Mingren to accompany Zhao Yunlan to have a child as soon as possible, plus Li Mingren participated in the county exam during that time, and was stimulated to get sick and stayed at home for a while, and Zhao Yunlan was pregnant during that time.
At the beginning, Zhao Yunlan was not fat, at most she was slightly fat and strong, and the Wang family took a fancy to Zhao Yunlan's slightly chubby and strong figure.
Until she was pregnant and gave birth, Zhao Yunlan gained weight and couldn't lose weight, but people in ancient times also thought that being fat was good to look good and blessed, so the original owner didn't have any concerns about his figure after he became fat.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlan guessed that it might be that the weight of the original body was too heavy, which led to a direct killing.
Li Mingmei fell into deep thought after hearing Zhao Yunlan say Xianggong again, and stood next to her and guessed that her sister-in-law was confused, and it was difficult to forget her father-in-law.
When Zhao Yunlan came back to her senses, she realized that Li Mingmei was still waiting for her beside her.
At this time, Zhao Yunlan may have used her brain too much all of a sudden, dizzy, and a little nauseous.
Zhao Yunlan said: "Little sister, I want to rest for a while, you take Xiaobao out!" Except for the husband who couldn't see each other, Zhao Yunlan didn't dare to face her cheap son.
After Li Mingmei took Xiaobao out, Zhao Yunlan was left alone to rest on the bed, Zhao Yunlan waited until her head was not so dizzy and began to think again, this Li family, the old man Li is not in charge, the Wang family is not in good health and has low energy, and his cheap husband is the eldest son and can't afford it, there are three younger brothers and one sister below, look at the furnishings of this room to know how difficult the Li family is now.
According to the memory of the original body, the current dynasty is Jiaxiangguo, and it seems that there is no such dynasty in the historical knowledge that Zhao Yunlan has learned.
After the establishment of this dynasty, the reform of the land system, the cause of the war was because the previous dynasty had serious land annexation, and then the war for many years, most of the land was abandoned and could not be cultivated, so the new ruler classified a lot of land as state-owned, and after thinking twice, he issued a decree that a man who reached the age of 16 could get 20 acres of land, of which 5 acres were used as Yongye fields, which were allowed to be bought and sold, and the remaining 15 acres were divided into fields, which would be reclaimed by the state after death.
When this system was promulgated, Old Man Li was still there, but if he didn't beat his generation, it was counted from Old Man Li's generation.
So the original six acres of land in the family were changed back, and it became twenty acres of land, and only five acres could be passed on, and then the family was sick and sick, and the old man Li couldn't sell two acres of land, and there were eighteen acres left in the family, and it was not until Li Mingren and Li Mingyi were sixteen years old that the family had increased land, but the corresponding taxes also increased.
That is to say, it is those lands that support the family to live and even survive, and there are currently 58 acres, of which 13 acres belong to their own family, and the rest belongs to the state, and they still have to pay taxes.
And the Li family's land was not divided into fertile land at the beginning, but was sorted out little by little by three generations of the Li family, so that they could barely maintain the family's life after excluding taxes.
And now in addition to the accident of Zhao Yunlan's fall, the family also has to provide for a scholar and an old lady who has been drinking medicine for a long time.
Zhao Yunlan was stunned by her situation this time.
