Chapter 153: But do good deeds, don't ask about the future
"Aunt Eight and Aunt are back!!"
Li Yuan, the son of the fifth brother's family, rubbed his eyes and peed and fertilized by the fruit tree in front of the door, and when he saw Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e and his party, he was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't care about helping the chicken, he rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands, and after seeing it clearly, he screamed.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and scolded: "This little bastard, there is no me in his eyes!" ”
After a while, a group of half-sized children rushed out and circled around the two bicycles, all kinds of shouts one after another.
Li Xing looked at a group of cousins and cousins, especially the five little children who were only more than a year older than him and still wore open crotch pants, and danced happily.
The adults also came out when they heard the movement, and the autumn harvest had already ended, and the winter wheat had just been sown in the first half of the month, so it was rare to have some leisure.
After nearly three years of digging wells, it is estimated that there are tens of millions of pressurized water wells in the country, which greatly alleviates the devastating consequences of drought.
It is no exaggeration to say that a well can kill at least one less person......
Three rains fell in the autumn this year, which greatly alleviated the drought, and the farmers who had been busy for three years could finally take a break.
"Oops! Little Twenty-Four is back! ”
The eldest sister-in-law took the lead and hugged Li Xing first.
Li Xing doesn't recognize life, everyone will let him hug, don't kiss or touch his face.
Unless it's particularly pretty......
The Li family greeted Lou Xiu next to each other, especially when the children went to school in the city, and after they came back, there was no one who did not praise the eighth aunt and the eighth aunt's aunt.
Li Gui and Li's mother also came out, and Li Gui asked, "Why did you come back early in the morning, what's the matter?" ”
Li Yuan explained the matter roughly, and Li Gui sent Li Hai to Qin Huairu's mother's house to make an announcement, and then told Li Yuan: "You must be careful when you go to work. ”
Li Yuan smiled: "I don't go down to the workshop, I work in the hospital, there is no danger." Mom and Dad, my son and I have to go back to the courtyard to help, Tang Yuan was put at home today, his aunt was also there, and Tang Yuan only recognized his mother and his aunt when feeding. We'll come back to pick up people after we're busy in the afternoon. ”
Li Gui nodded and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you come to pick it up later." ”
The boss Li Chi also said: "The white matter can't be delayed. Do you want to give a gift to our family? The Jia family is your neighbor, and the eldest girl of the second family of Qin is a ...... in the village."
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "No, Jia Dongxu's death has something to do with me......
These words almost scared the family to death, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly explained, Li Yuan added with a smile, and explained the matter roughly, and then the sister-in-law got started, and Li Yuan was beaten......
"The soul almost didn't scare me!"
The eldest sister-in-law laughed and blamed.
Lou Xiao'e was a little unhappy and said: "It's Jia Dongxu who is inexplicable, our family has never provoked him at all." Genzi also helped his mother and daughter-in-law get needles for more than two years, and they didn't need money......"
Li Gui said: "This is not uncommon, everyone has it, those who will take revenge, those who harm others and are not good for themselves, and those who are not good for others...... Therefore, the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. You think that you have done good deeds and done good deeds, maybe people think that you have not given enough and look down on him. ”
Lou Xiao'e said: "Dad, what should I do then?" No one knows what other people think...... Otherwise, don't worry about other people's business in the future! ”
Li Gui smiled: "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future." ”
Lou Xiao'e didn't understand, Li Yuan smiled: "Dad is saying, just do what you think is right, don't care if the good people are grateful to you." ”
Li Gui smiled and explained: "After all, there are more people with a conscience. ”
Lou Xiao'e laughed dryly, not understanding......
Others didn't force it, for Li Gui, his son could understand.
When Li Hai came back and said that after telling Qin's second family to know, Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e rode back to the city.
But he didn't go back to the courtyard first, but went to Beixincang.
"Why did you go home first?"
Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile.
Li Yuan said: "Put on makeup first!" ”
Lou Xiao'e said "ah" and said in surprise: "Do you still want makeup?" ”
Li Yuan laughed and said: "You look in the mirror and see, the pink and white face, where does it look like a person eating wild vegetables in the countryside?" I'm going to have to draw you a green dot. ”
If you want to say that you are fat, you are basically hungry at the moment, and many people are more or less swollen.
But Lou Xiao'e's complexion is obviously different from that of a puffy person.
The reason why Li Yuan didn't have to worry was because he was practicing martial arts diligently every day, and his intensity was very high, which made him look lean.
If you disguise your malaise a little, ordinary people won't be able to see anything.
When he walks up the gossip steps, others only think that he is hungry and staggering......
Lou Xiao'e can't go back like this, her white and red appearance is like a peach, and anyone can see that she must be fragrant and spicy......
The makeup "dyes" are all ready-made, Li Yuan learned from Mei Lanfang, and it is not difficult to paint the dark yellow and withered complexion.
After Li Yuan finished, Lou Xiao'e looked in the mirror with a disgusted expression: "This is too ugly!" ”
Li Yuan laughed and said: "It's time to go singing, take a walk, go back and let them see what they will look like when they eat wild vegetables." ”
Lou Xiao'e worried: "But isn't Qin Huairu's mother's family from Qinjiazhuang?" What if their family says something leaks? ”
Li Yuanle said: "What are you talking about? If you go back to Zhuangzi every week, you will be seen by some people. You just don't like to show your face and take care of the kids in the house. Rest assured, although my family is a farmer, I don't like Zhang's family, Li Jia's short strings of opinion. In addition, my family name is Li, and I am in a group by myself, and I am kind to other families but not close.
My father is still the branch secretary, and ordinary people don't come to the door. Besides, how dare they have the heart to say this today, just Lao Jia's family, old and young women and children, is enough for them to have a headache. ”
Lou Xiao'e was relieved to hear this, and she also felt cola, so she looked in the mirror again, and then changed into old clothes and went back to the courtyard with Li Yuan.
……
Lou Xiao'e returned to the courtyard, and sure enough, she attracted a burst of attention, and was stopped to talk as soon as she entered the front yard.
The three mothers looked at Lou Xiao'e's face, "ouch", and said, "But you have suffered a big crime, right?" This face is almost green, and I have eaten too many wild vegetable dumplings, so I want to become like this? ”
Li Liugen's daughter-in-law laughed out loud and said: "Originally, she was a daughter of a rich family, she ate fragrant and drank spicy food, and her face was hungry and green when she married Yuanzi!" ”
Lou Xiao'e listened to Li Yuan's advice, and said weakly: "It's not bad anymore, there can still be stuttering in the countryside, and you can eat half full." Three mothers, how are you? ”
The three mothers couldn't laugh anymore, and said, "It's okay to be half-full, let's fill up with water at most." I'm hungry, and I only shiver every day. A green face is better than a hungry green eye. My heart is like a cat scratching, and I cry every day when I feel uncomfortable. The three mothers' families have added another population, and the food for each person is not even one or two a day, so they can't hold it anymore...... Xiao'e, do you still have wild vegetables at home? If there are more, can you give some to the three mothers? My family really can't stand it. ”
Lou Xiao'e was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, this year, who will open their mouth to borrow food, no one has a surplus.
There was really no way, she said stubbornly: "Three mothers, there are only a few people in your family, and dozens of people in my mother-in-law's family." It's autumn again, the frost has passed, how can there be wild vegetables, the wild vegetable roots are all boiled and eaten......"
The three mothers have an idea: "Xiao'e, the three mothers beg you once." Your mother-in-law's family doesn't have it, but your mother's family does. The Lou family used to be Lou Bancheng, no matter what, there will be no shortage of food......"
When the people around heard this, they all moved with great interest.
They all say that it will get better next year, but there are still a few months left until next year.
These months are the pre-dawn period, as dark as it gets, as cold as it gets.
I don't know how many people can't survive the last few months.
It would be much better if I could borrow some food......
Lou Xiao'e's face changed, and she said angrily: "Three mothers, what did you say? You also said that it was before, before the public-private partnership, our family donated the factory, and even the annual dividends, for this, my father also went to Haizili to receive commendation. What else do you say we have in our house? My son and I have no food to eat, and we can't bear to go back to my parents' house to fight with my parents for rations, why do you still think so? ”
The three mothers couldn't hold back their faces and said, "I'll just talk about it...... It is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how your mother's family is, it is much stronger than us ordinary people, isn't it? Plucking a haircut is also thicker than our legs. Xiao'e, neighbors have to help each other......"
Not to mention, Li Liugen's daughter-in-law also thinks so.
But she is much more shrewd, and she knows that if Lou Xiao'e is willing to go back to her parents' house to borrow food, why would she eat wild vegetables and eat with a green face? Li Yuan is not easy to get along with.
So I didn't say anything for a while......
"Really?"
Li Yuan, who went to Jia's house to tell Qin Huairu about the matter, happened to hear this, and asked sadly?
Yu Li, who had been following the three mothers to learn skills, was startled, and hurriedly got up and greeted: "Brother Yuanzi." ”
Li Yuan didn't pay attention, he looked at the three mothers with a smile and said, "Three mothers, are your legs so thin?" Worse than other people's hair? ”
Yan Bugui, who was helping in the middle court, saw Li Yuan coming back, and knew that he was going to his hometown in the countryside outside the city to report the news, and he was looking forward to maybe bringing some food back, so he hurriedly looked for a reason to follow out, and was calculating to find a reason to speak, when he saw Li Yuan facing his wife with an unkind face.
Yan Bugui shuddered in his heart, and scolded the three mothers half to death, blind? Didn't you see that the last one who was facing Li Yuan was lying there at this moment?
I also regret it in my heart, I don't usually teach it well, I can't calculate my skills, and I calculate people!
He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hey, Genzi, what are you doing like an old lady?" Not worth it! Confucius said that only villains and women are difficult to raise. Let's not worry about her! ”
Li Yuanle said: "Third master, what you said lightly. My daughter-in-law has been eating wild vegetable dumplings in the countryside, and I already feel sorry for her. This time, your daughter-in-law said a lot of light things...... Ezi, you learn from the three masters, what good things did his wife say. ”
Lou Xiao'e exhaled angrily: "The three mothers asked me for wild vegetables first, and I said no." There are dozens of people in the family, and there are not enough wild vegetables to eat, so the wild vegetable roots are dug up and eaten. She asked me to go back to my parents' house to get food for her, and I said that I was hungry and I didn't want to go home to fight for food, and my parents didn't have any food. She said that our emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and my father was Lou Bancheng, and he was thicker than his legs when he plucked his hair......
Yan Bugui glared at his mother-in-law with an ugly face, and said, "It's a plucked leg hair that is thicker than a waist!" If you don't have culture, you will talk less and make jokes! Then he turned his head to Li Yuan and smiled: "Yuanzi, your three mothers are just a rough wife who has no culture, and it's useless to talk about that......
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's useless, but it's also disgusting." Three masters, I'm good about your family, right? Brother Zhuzi and I ate vegetables before, when didn't you let your family collect the bottom? Sister Qin said that I didn't let her come to help a few times, so I felt that although your family loves to calculate, it is still kind and does not take the initiative to harm others.
What's the matter, but you have made enemies? There is no food to borrow, just talking nonsense in that yin and yang? With such human nature, our family will have to walk away from your house in the future, and good people like us can't afford to mess with it. ”
Yan Bugui's smile was more ugly than crying, and said, "Yuanzi, no, no, no!" It's your three mothers who are wrong about this today, she's hungry! ”
Li Yuan sighed and took Lou Xiao'e inside.
Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving after turning their faces, Yan Bu's noble eyes were red, and he glared at the three mothers and said, "Why do you owe so much?" It's not good for you to offend anyone, why do you offend him? ”
The three mothers also regretted and said: "How could I have thought that I would offend people...... It doesn't matter, right? I didn't say anything......"
Li Liugen's daughter-in-law watched the excitement and said, "Three mothers, you haven't said anything yet." You almost point at someone's nose and scold them for being a capitalist. You are also interesting, Lou Xiao'e's face is green when she eats wild vegetables, and her face is swollen, can't you see it? ”
The three mothers said angrily: "She can't eat enough, it's not the same thing as whether her mother's family has it!" ”
Li Liugen's daughter-in-law laughed and said: "You also know that they are two different things, why do you still ask others to borrow them?" If you can borrow it, people don't know how to eat it. ”
If the three mothers borrowed food, then she designated to borrow it too.
Since she can't borrow it, it doesn't prevent her from saying a few cool words.
Yan Bu said nobilly: "Okay, it's all about schadenfreude." Genzi is generous, and he won't rest assured, the eldest daughter-in-law ......"
Yu Li said "ah" and was puzzled: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
Yan Bugui said: "You go to the middle courtyard to have a look, and look for an opportunity to talk to the two of them, Yuanzi has a good impression of you...... In front of Lou Xiao'e, you praised the good things that Yuanzi did. ”
Yu Li understood and went to the middle courtyard.
In fact, she still didn't understand why Yan Bugui asked her to go to the Intermediate Courtyard at this time......
……
Lou Xiao'e was in a very bad mood, she didn't expect Li Yuan to spend so much effort to cover up so much for her, but in the end, her background was still talked about.
Can people decide where they come from?
If she could, she would rather have a hard and simple background, not for glory, but to be with Li Yuan, not to drag him back, not to implicate him.
However, her look, coupled with her dark green face, made many people sympathize.
Lou Xiao'e used to be the daughter of a rich family, how white and foreign, and now she is not as good as them......
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu felt better when they saw it, it turned out that everyone was so miserable......
Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e just showed up, said hello to a few older people, and went to the backyard.
Seeing that the faces of the two of them were not very good, some people wondered, obviously it would not be for Jia Dongxu to be sad, could it be that something happened to their hometown in the countryside?
Fortunately, Li Liugen's daughter-in-law quickly came over to solve her doubts, and said that the three mothers borrowed food before and couldn't tell people right and wrong, so they naturally let the women in the courtyard talk.
Standing on the moral high ground and blaming people, who wouldn't? It's fun without burden!
Yan Bugui was scheming in the end, he and the three mothers did not come forward, and sent Yu Li to the back.
Pity Yu Li, she didn't know anything, so she was blamed by an aunt and others, and she didn't last five minutes, and then went back crying......
