When the old Li family heard about the pregnancy of the third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li caught a hen early in the morning, and carried half a basket of eggs, holding Tao Xiaoqi's hand, and the old tears were horizontal, "Xiao Qian, you have to add another grandson to our family, the sisters-in-law can't count on it, you fight for breath, this is considered complete, you see that such a big house will have successors." ”

Tao Xiaoqian smiled, not very fond of her mother-in-law's words. It is true that she loves Li Nanshan's son, so even with her third daughter-in-law, she never looks pleasing to the eye, but she never agrees with the statement that she married Li Nanshan to continue the incense for the old Li family, nor does she agree that she built this brand new house to inherit her son, Bei Bei is also her child, and she also has the right to inherit.

"Mother, it's not for me to have children and daughters, you really should watch more TV and learn more science, this birth of a boy or a girl is only decided by a man, so if you can't give birth to a son, it has to be your son's problem." Tao Xiaoqi was not polite at all, and threw all the pot to Li Nanshan.

Mrs. Li was dumbfounded when she heard this, "Mother doesn't understand this, she only knows that women can only give birth to children, and can men still give birth to dolls?" ”

Tao Xiaoqi smiled, "I only gave birth to this one, whether it is a male or female baby, I am just as rare." ”

Mrs. Li opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a while.

Tao Xiaoqi knew that her mother-in-law had no malicious intentions, but she couldn't help it, every time she heard someone say that her daughter was not good, she couldn't help but scold her, why should a woman be embarrassed by a woman?

She really wants to hold a lecture in the whole village, so that everyone knows that it is not a woman's fault to give birth to a daughter, and it is not wrong to give birth to a daughter. It's not that my daughter has done much. But even if the daughter can't prevent old age, she can't be so double-standard.

It's a pity that at this time, Mantou Village is far from reaching the height of this understanding, even if she gives such a lecture now, I'm afraid that no one will listen to it, and she will end up being thrown rotten vegetable leaves.

Since he decided to study, Li Nanshan has been building walls day and night, and during the day he took his eldest brother with him and taught him how to grow medicine, prune, and fertilizer.

Looking at this large area of medicine field, the eldest brother Li Nanlin was a little worried, "Nanshan, you said that you really want me to take over when the time comes, what should I do if I mess up?" ”

"Big brother, don't worry, this medicinal herb is also strange, no matter how you plant it, it seems to be able to live, and its vitality is stronger than that potato bud valley." Li Nanshan said with relief.

"What did you say you were going to the provincial capital?"

"Adult Education."

"It's really a novelty, now such a big person can still go to school, this has to be put in the past, so as not to make people laugh and lose their big teeth." The eldest brother said.

Li Nanshan didn't answer for a while, the eldest brother hadn't gone out for half his life, and the farthest place he had been to was the county seat, nor did he go shopping, either to buy fertilizer or farm tools, and he couldn't go there a few times a year.

"In the future, when our days are up, you and your sister-in-law will also go out with Mo Yatou to have a look."

The eldest brother only took it as a joke and lowered his head and dug the ground.

That night, the second sister-in-law Yang Rongzhi blew the wind in the ears of the men in her family, saying that they gave birth to two grandchildren to the Lao Li family, but they were not as good as the boss who gave birth to a strange girl.

The next day, the second child got up and quarreled with his father, saying why the eldest went to learn medicine from the third child, and didn't let him go.

Li Laohan knocked on the cigarette stick in his hand, "You can't ask me about this, you don't live on weekdays, but at this time, you think it's good for people to read you?" You have to read it to them, too. Besides, your third brother has gone out separately, and it stands to reason that his family has nothing to do with us, I don't care who he wants to use, and you can't manage it, take care of your own one-acre and three-point land. ”

The second child didn't get his own justice, but was preached by his father, and he was very aggrieved, so he went on strike that day, didn't go to the ground, and slept in bed in broad daylight.

was so angry that Li Laohan stirruped the hoe and stirrup, shook his head and went to the ground by himself.

Mrs. Li is mainly a timid, and when she saw that the second son and the old man were angry, she immediately ran to the medicine field to ask the third child, Li Nanshan, to call the second child to plant medicine.

"Mother, I don't need so many people for a while, besides, the eldest brother and the second brother have come to plant medicine, who will do the work at home?" Li Nanshan is embarrassed.

"Don't worry about this, me and your sister-in-law can do it, Nanshan, this time you have to listen to your mother, otherwise the old Li family will not be able to live in peace." Mrs. Li said in shock.

Li Nanshan frowned and didn't say yes or no.

Seeing this, the eldest brother said honestly, "Or let your second brother come, and I'll go back to do the work in the fields." ”

"Big brother, don't be in a hurry, I let you come because you are suitable, I can rest assured that the medicine field will be handed over to you, and I am really not at ease with the second brother." Li Nanshan said truthfully.

"Then what to do, you don't know your second brother's temperament, it's really going to be an accident."

"I'm all separated, and he can't manage me." Li Nanshan was also a little angry.

Seeing that the brothers had not discussed a countermeasure, Mrs. Li was even more worried, standing by the ridge and turning around.

"Mother, you go back first, the sky can't fall, if the second brother really wants to do it, why doesn't he say it himself, you have the right to don't know, what should you do." Li Nanshan said.

"What else can I do, I don't have the heart to do anything, your second brother has stopped doing it, and the work in the field is waiting for your father to do it alone, how old is your father, and his body and bones can't help but be made." Mrs. Li said with a bitter face.

"I'll take a look." Li Nanshan couldn't do it, so he walked up from the field.

He turned around and said to the eldest brother, "If Xiao Qi comes to me, say I'll go home." ”

When I got home with his mother, I really saw the second brother lying on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, and the second sister-in-law was peeling melon seeds for him on the side, Li Nanshan's chest was very tight, this is not a grasshopper that sucks human blood, it is still the blood of his father.

"Second brother." Li Nanshan suppressed his anger and shouted.

"Yo, it's the mighty man of our family who has returned." Li Nanhai's upper body was raised, and his buttocks were still stuck to the kang and did not move.

Yang Rongzhi didn't even look this way, but moved his body and turned his back to the outside.

"Mother said that you don't go to the ground, are you sick?" Li Nanshan asked patiently again.

"Probably, it's the same as my father's life, some people have brothers to help, and I also have brothers, so no one helps." Li Nanhai said sourly.

Li Nanshan's fists tightened unconsciously, "Second brother, you and eldest brother haven't separated yet, everyone eats and drinks together, isn't it the same who I ask to help?" ”

"Brother, that's different, as the old saying goes, my brother has to settle accounts, the old university is his, where did I take it, besides, who knows if they have hidden private money, you, second brother, I can trust, but boss, I really don't dare to say." Li Nanhai turned over and continued to lie flat.

"Then you will split up, each doing his own thing, each passing his own way, and we will raise my father and mother together."

Li Nanshan and Li Nanhai wondered where this voice came from at the same time, and saw Tao Xiaoqi walking in from outside.

"Third child, look at what your daughter-in-law said, how can you persuade the family to separate, do we live with our parents to take better care of the two of them, unlike someone, who only cares about their own happiness and doesn't care about their parents." Li Nanhai sat up and accused.

Li Nanshan glanced at his daughter-in-law and nodded at her, "I think Xiao Qi is right, sooner or later, this family will have to be divided, it is better to divide it, each has its own way, this is not a strange thing in Mantou Village." ”

"Mother, what do you think they said?! They don't care about you, and they won't let us care about you. Li Nanhai shouted.

Mrs. Li wiped her tears, covered her chest, and couldn't say a word. She originally thought that the big things would be turned into small things and the small things would be turned into small things, but she didn't expect to break up the old Li family.

This didn't dare to hide it from the head of the house anymore, so he called the eldest daughter-in-law to go to the field and called back Li Laohan.

Li Laohan came back from the field, didn't say a word, and said, "Then divide it." ”
