In the past few days, Mingli has been busy with the work in his own field, and he will go to Zhaojiagou as soon as he finds free time.

After Zhao Guiru and Li Mingli officially set up their marriage, they dropped out of school and went home to prepare for marriage.

Li Mingli often went to the village chief's house of Zhao Village through the reason for delivering books. The two can meet in a bright light, and the fiancé will not be so evasive, of course, there are others present when the two meet, and they will not mess with the rules.

"Uncle Zhao, I came this time to explain to my uncle and Aunt Gui Ru, I will leave for the north the day after tomorrow and come back before the New Year."

Village Chief Zhao smiled on his face: "Okay, go out with peace of mind, take care of yourself along the way, and come back with all your tails." ”

"Hey, I'll be back safe." After that, Li Mingli took out a small box from his arms again, "Auntie, this is still bothering you to hand it over to Gui Ru." ”

Qiu Shi looked at Village Chief Zhao and said, "You can go in person, it's in the vegetable courtyard." ”

The smile on Li Mingli's face bloomed immediately, and he immediately responded: "Okay, thank you uncle and aunt." ”

In the courtyard of the Zhao family, Zhao Guiru was weeding, in fact, there was no grass, the vegetable garden was close to the hall, just to find an excuse to squat there and want to listen to what Mingli and his father and mother were saying. At this time, he heard that Mingli was going to go to him, so he hurriedly changed his position and took a hoe to work.

"Guiru." Li Mingli looks stupid!

Zhao Guiru also responded with a silly smile.

"Have you finished reading the book you sent last time?" Li Mingli asked.

Zhao Guiru nodded: "I just finished reading it two days ago, did the third brother bring a new book this time?" ”

"Bring it, na, five copies, enough for you to read for a while. It just so happened that I was going out for a long time, so I thought I would bring you a few more. ”

"Hehe, then there will be more third brothers." Zhao Guiru looked at the book of words brought by Mingli, and her heart was happy, and the smile on her face couldn't be suppressed.

The books Li Mingli found were all books, what kind of down-and-out scholar met the daughter of a rich family, the domineering marquis fell in love with her, or the three-life entanglement between the princess and the general, and even found some ghosts and monsters, these are all requested by Zhao Guiru. Reading the book is the biggest benefit after learning to read and write, Zhao Guiru thinks so.

When she first went to the school, Zhao Guiru felt that it was fresh and fun and she was very energetic, but after taking classes for a while, she gradually couldn't keep up with Mama Cui's progress, and she was considered to be at the middle and lower reaches of the class, so she lost interest in learning.

But after thinking about the situation of Mingli and the Li family, and under the persuasion of my father and mother, I reluctantly insisted on continuing to study, and finally recognized the thousand-character text. Cui Mama also found out about Zhao Guiru's situation, and relaxed the requirements for Guiru after asking the Wang family for instructions. Without strict requirements, Zhao Guiru has become a lot easier to learn, in addition to the words on the thousand-character text, she secretly reads the book and recognizes a lot of words on weekdays, at least Zhao Guiru feels that this life is enough. And the first time I read the book, it was shared by Mingmei with Guiru, and the book was left by Yunlan to Mingmei, which can be described as a book of three people.

"Now, here's a little gift for you!" Li Mingli took out the wooden box again.

Zhao Guiru opened it with a fart: "Wow, what a beautiful hairpin." ”

This hairpin is Mingli bought on the road when he came back from Shiyang County, the silver hairpin is carved with osmanthus style, and there is a ruby inlaid in the middle, the gem is not big, but it is very beautiful to embellish with the surrounding osmanthus flowers, and Mingli thinks that this osmanthus hairpin is very lined with Zhao Guiru, the reason is that it contains "cinnamon".

"Look good!" Zhao Guiru casually inserted it on her head.

"Beautiful!"

The two of them just stood stupidly.

He didn't stay at Guiru's house for a long time, and went to Zhao Daliang's house after saying goodbye.

"Uncle, aunt, I came to ask if you want to bring something to Yun Cheng and sister-in-law." As soon as he entered the door, Li Mingli went straight to the point when he saw people.

Jiang Shi said warmly: "Hey, I want it." I thought I would send it over tomorrow, but I didn't think you would come to the door today. ”

Li Mingli didn't know what to think, and he smiled to hide his shyness: "Auntie, it's okay." ”

Jiang wanted to ask something, but Zhao Daliang pulled Jiang as if he saw Mingli's thoughts.

Jiang Shi reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "Okay, you wait, my aunt will go and take out the package, and you will have to lie down today." With that, he walked to the back room with his legs and feet neat.

Zhao Daliang smiled: "Mingli, sit and drink tea, and your aunt will take out the things in a while." ”

"Hey, I'll take a break!" Li Mingli sat down naturally, he had just been nervous at Village Chief Zhao's house and didn't dare to relax, after all, he was a prospective father-in-law, so he was a little more afraid after all. Now it's different when I go to my eldest brother-in-law's house, I sit down easily, and I can chat with my uncle and Uncle Yunsong from time to time.

……

The next day, Li Mingyi summoned the people who had signed up to go to Shiyang County to hold a pre-departure mobilization meeting.

This time, there were about 30 people in the team, except for some guards at home who followed, and a few subordinates were also transferred, and the rest were all volunteers from the village.

The first person to sign up was quite surprising to Li Mingyi, Li Caixia, who worked in a soap factory. Now Li Caixia's family is already a family with food and money. After the family has a deposit of silver, Caixia took her father to the county to see a few times of illness, and now the body and bones will be much better than before, although still can't go to the field to do farm work, but some simple housework at home can still help. And now the family doesn't have to worry about the old man's body all the time.

Caixia's eldest brother, Li Dazhuang was moved because his sister supported the family, as if he had seen it, and gave a letter of resignation to the child's grandfather's house two years ago, and the bride price that should be returned was also returned. The man knew that he was at a loss, and when he saw that the bride price was returned, he didn't come to the door to mess around, and since then, Li Dazhuang has also worked hard with his sister to support the family. Li Dazhuang also joined the team, and now he can bring back a lot of silver to his family after a trip.

And Li Caiyan is Caixia's eldest sister, who made trouble for a while, so she took her children back to Lijia Village to live for a while, and her mother-in-law's side also saw the form of Lijia Village, so she came to Lijia Village to apologize. Caiyan didn't leave for the sake of the child, but now she is in charge of her in-law's family, after all, her mother's family has someone to support her.

Li Caixia herself is also able to make money because of her ability, which can be regarded as a piece of fragrant bread from the matchmaker, not only her, but also the school-age girls in Lijia Village.

It was also because of this incident that Li Caixia wanted to escape from Lijia Village, she was really annoyed by a blind date, and the man she looked up to was not looked down upon by others. And the man who looks at himself looks at himself like a gold ingot, every time he sees the other party with this expression, Li Caixia just wants to pick out the other party's eyes. So Li Caixia collapsed, she didn't want to go on a blind date anymore, how can she love it! But the old lady in the family disagreed, and whispered in her ear every day, which is why Li Caixia was the first to sign up to go to Shiyang County.

Li Caixia reported her name without telling her family, and it was too late when the family knew, after all, this was for Yunlan's helper, and if she reversed herself, she was afraid that Caixia would disappoint the owner and lose this job in the future.

In this way, Li Caixia settled, and Li Caixia also felt that it was not a good time to get married, so she had the energy to save more money, and it would be a good thing to buy a piece of land by herself in the future, and then buy a house in the town and be a landlord's wife.

Having said that, Li Mingyi watched everyone gather in the ancestral hall, and his heart was warm. This time, there were sixteen people in the team led by Li Dashan, Deng Yong brought an apprentice there, and Master Zhang, a carpenter, took four apprentices on the road together.

Originally, it was stipulated that only one person from the family was allowed to sign up, but considering that there was only one woman in the village who signed up, Caixia was the only one who signed up, so Li Dazhuang was allowed to go together. Li Dazhuang was originally a little annoyed that he couldn't go this time, but he didn't expect to usher in a turnaround, and then Li Mingyi also selected a few maids from the family who wanted to take care of Yunlan, and they could be regarded as a small women's team. In this way, Caixia's situation in the team will not be too embarrassing.

The most important point of this mobilization meeting is to obey the arrangement of the team, everything is to put safety first, and no unauthorized action is allowed during the journey. Of course, this time, the Li family paid for the round-trip food expenses, and there were accommodation arrangements for going to the north, which was the consistent style of Yunlan and the Li family.
