Zhao Yunlan came back from the mountain, went around the field and beckoned the Li family to go back as well. Old man Li saw that the field was almost busy, so he called everyone to go home together.

The Li brothers were all excited when they knew that Zhao Yunlan had picked up a pheasant.

Li Mingyi ran and jumped with Xiaobao in his hand, and Xiaobao was scared and wanted to play.

Zhao Yunlan looked at this family with a smile on her face, even the old man Li, who was silent on weekdays, was a little smiling, and Zhao Yunlan was suddenly poked in the heart by this simple sense of happiness.

When the old and young returned home, Wang listened to the voice and came out, "His father, Lan Niang, the boss is back." ”

Old man Li hadn't seen his eldest son for a long time, and he became excited, "Okay, the old man also picked up a pheasant today, what is the boss doing here." ”

Zhao Yunlan lowered her face beside her, and sighed in her heart that happiness is always fleeting. "Mother, Dad, I'll put my things in the kitchen first."

Wang didn't say anything, Li Mingren heard a voice come out of the house, "Dad, second brother, third brother, little brother and little sister." Old man Li "Well, it's good to come back"

Li family brother and sister "big brother"

The brothers and sisters watched Zhao Yunlan go to the kitchen, and Xiaobao, who followed behind the buttocks, and cast sympathetic eyes on Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan didn't care if Li Mingren paid attention to her, walked quickly to the kitchen to put things, and rubbed in the kitchen for a while, until Li Mingmei came in and called her, "Sister-in-law, my mother told you to go to the room, the eldest brother has something to say." ”

Zhao Yunlan thought that she couldn't hide, so she could only go hard, holding Xiaobao to increase her sense of security.

Entering the upper room, Wang shouted Zhao Yunlan to sit next to Li Mingren, at this time Zhao Yunlan was able to meet Li Mingren, Zhao Yunlan still said, "Xianggong." ”

Xiaobao watched this strange person sitting next to his mother and kept staring, Li Mingren, "Well, the family is fortunate to be sorry for you." ”

Zhao Yunlan was speechless for a while listening to this official reply, and Li Mingren felt Xiaobao's eyes at a loss, so he could only pretend to be calm.

"Xiaobao, this is Daddy, Xiaobao was too young last time, so I can't remember when Daddy hugged Xiaobao." Everyone in the Li family is embarrassed, when did this Li Mingren hug Xiaobao, Li Mingren thought, is Zhao Yunlan accusing him?

Zhao Yunlan actually didn't know what to say, she had never been married before, she had never experienced this kind of scene! It was just a casual remark, and there was no blame or complaining about it. Who would have thought that with this casual sentence, the Li family could think so much.

Wang pulled the topic back and said to everyone, "The boss is going to take the county exam after a while, and the cost of this exam is not only a test paper fee of 25 Wen, but the boss also plans to scrape together a sum of money with his classmates to buy the exam papers of previous years, and the food for the boss exam in the days also needs to be arranged, and there will be a cost for this exam." ”

Zhao Yunlan listened, sure enough, it is still easy to make money from scholars, there is a reason why it is difficult to get a noble son from a poor family, and it will cost a lot of money before the exam.

Li continued to say, "I'm counting the 1,200 dollars I will give to the boss this time. ”

Li Mingyi: "Mother, how much money do you have at home?" ”

Wang: "The money that the boss wants to use is really not available now, I still have a thousand yuan here, plus the one hundred yuan that your two brothers paid back from work a few days ago is not enough, the money that the boss should spend on studying still has to be spent, but the family still has to keep some money for the family, I discussed with your father to sell the land at the foot of the mountain, so that the second child's relatives can be prepared together." When the old man divides the land, the family will have more land. ”

When Zhao Yunlan heard about the land sale, she couldn't help frowning, and Wang sensed, "If you have any questions, you can raise them now." ”

The Li family has no opinion, after all, they have sold their land for Li Mingren's study before, and it seems that it is natural to do so.

Wang looked at Zhao Yunlan, "Lan Niang, my body is like this, and the family behind me is also going to be handed over to you, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." I also made it clear that our old Li family has indeed owed you all these years. During this time, my mother saw that you were becoming more and more sensible, and my mother could rest assured even if she left. ”

The children of the Li family were moved, "Mother, don't say that, it will always get better." ”

Li Mingmei: "Mother, when the eldest brother is admitted to Xiucai, our family will be relieved." ”

Li Mingren: "....Mother, I, mother, you relax and take care of your body." ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at this big family, sighed, and thought of what the Li family said just now about handing over the home to her, and she actually started waiting for this sentence when she had a plan. In the past few days here, I have slowly regarded myself as a member here, and I am very comfortable with the Li family.

Of course, except for Li Mingren, I don't know how to face the future with Li Mingren, this kind of marriage is really not something that can be done with a plan. can only take one step at a time to solve the present: "Mother, I don't think selling land is a good way, once the land is sold, it will be difficult to take it back, those lands are all raised by grandfather, father and younger siblings." ”

Wang: "I don't know this reason, I sold the land once before, and the life of the family has not slowed down, but we must not give up the boss exam, this is your grandfather's wish before." ”

Li Mingren: "Mother, it's the son who is not filial." ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at the mother and son who were about to cry there, and said, "Mother, I didn't say that I wouldn't let Xianggong not refer to it." I just don't approve of selling land, I think we have another way, which is... Husband, I would like to know what preparation is required for the exam? I haven't cared about Xianggong's studies before, it's my dereliction of duty as a wife, I just want to say that the 1,200 Wen given by my mother, how to arrange Xianggong. ”

Li Mingren, "This..." suddenly made Li Mingren stunned when answering such a question. In the past, how much money the Wang family gave was basically enough for Li Mingren's expenses outside, and he never made his own budget arrangements in advance.

Wang: "Boss, don't be divisive, how to use it." ”

Li Mingren: "Yes, mother." In addition to the cost of the exam papers, there are articles that I want to buy exam papers from previous years to take a look, and this time there are excellent exam papers, which are worth a look. I agreed with my classmates to buy a copy, one is 1,000 yuan, and each of us is 500 yuan. There is also a pen and ink that can't stick to the county test, this has to be bought, and the pen and ink used on weekdays are inferior, about 300 Wen, and the rest is the cost of going to the county seat, as well as the government test later. ”

After listening to this, Zhao Yunlan nodded and said that she understood, if she can really pass the exam this time, she will go to the government to take the exam later, and the money should not be enough. Turning his gaze to Wang's body, this old lady is also powerful, just for the wishes of the deceased old man Li, she desperately offered Li Mingren, hey~.

Wang: "Lan Niang will say anything directly. ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Mother, since you can trust me, I won't hide it." I think so, land is the foundation of a family, I won't talk about it if it's bad, I don't agree with selling land, the family needs money now, we can borrow some. I know that the old Li family has a backbone, but now is a special period. The family is for a scholar, the second brother is also old, he should have seen the girl a long time ago, the third brother and the younger brother I won't talk about it for the time being, the boy can wait for the boy to be older, and the little sister should also prepare in two years. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yunlan complained in her heart about this evil feudal society. Zhao Yunlan looked at the expressions of everyone in the Li family, and continued, "These are all things that I will do in the future, now the Xianggong exam requires money, the mother's medicine is necessary and cannot be broken, and it also needs silver, and the family must urgently use money when they encounter a sick person, and the family must keep money, and sell land, there will be countless times for the first time, so that in the future, the old Li family will not think of a way to deal with financial problems, and sell land directly, how much land is enough for us to sell." ”

Old man Li: "Old man, you are talking about this reason, but my old Li family has never borrowed money." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Dad, I can understand your hearts, but please believe me, the borrowed money will be paid off soon." And I want to assure you that this is the first and last time to borrow money. I'm not just looking for someone to borrow money, since I said it, I'll do it, the second brother's big thing, I also make a guarantee today, Dad, mother, you can rest assured, this year will definitely make the second brother look at the girl, and we can repay the borrowed money. ”
