The third uncle's house.

"You mean, Xiandong said that the fake silkworm tree is the eucommia tree, and the bark is a medicinal herb?" The third uncle asked on crutches and upside down.

"Yes, the Renhetang in the city collects forty wen yuan a catty, and the concocted one hundred and forty wen can be paid."

Li Deyou looked amazed, "I think this is a little difficult to concoct, but Xiaohan's niece said that she is fifty percent sure, give it a try." Xiaohan's niece is really bold. ”

"Did Xiandong go to Renhetang and sell it?"

"Yes, Brother Xiandong tried." Li Deyou sighed, "Brother Xiandong's brain is really alive, why did I never think that the bark could be sold for money." ”

His Li Xiandong's brain is not alive, but if he lives a little, an eldest son, he will not be separated almost bare like this.

The third uncle glanced at the youngest grandson, but maybe it was a blessing after the separation?!

"Today, Xiandong took you to cut the eucommia for a day, have you all learned? What did Hyundong say at the time? ”

"Brother Xiandong is really generous, he said, because we helped him build a house, so we told us this way to make a fortune. They also made an excuse and said that we would help them with their work for a day. In fact, it has been teaching us, teaching us how to identify this tree that is more than ten years old, and how to harvest this bark. ”

Li Deyou paused, "Alas, it seems that Xiaohan's niece has always taught us." In short, in the past, the people in the village had misunderstandings about Brother Xiandong's family. ”

The third uncle is too lazy to take care of this grandson: misunderstanding this is plain, his reputation of Li Xiandong, is he bad.

How can such a stupid person be his own grandson.

My own home is still too harmonious.

"Don't talk about this except your family. I'm going to go find the patriarch. ”

But this stupid grandson, who has the stupid fortune and the third uncle who thinks he is a smart person, can only help with the bottom.

"Yes." Li Deyou agreed quickly, anyway, his grandfather and the patriarch knew about it, and they would definitely deal with it, he just had to listen to the orders.

When the third uncle came to the patriarch's house, Li Xinhe had already told his patriarch father everything.

And Li Xinhe said a lot more than Li Deyou, focusing on Li Xiaohan's collection of seeds from the Eucommia ulmoides tree and cutting down the cuttings after the trees.

"According to what you say, Xiao Han is so smart and benevolent?" Patriarch Li was skeptical.

Li Xiaohan is a female doll, only 13 years old, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a person who thinks so long-term.

But if it weren't for Li Xiaohan, Li Xiandong had also been in contact with the patriarch before, and he was not a person with such wisdom.

As for the Wang family, it was not in Patriarch Li's consideration at all.

"Well, the person who actually came up with the idea and talked to them in their family is actually Sister Xiaohan." Lee also doubted his own conclusion, but in the end he found out that this was the truth.

Patriarch Li understood that his son was not very sure and would not come to such a conclusion.

For a moment, Patriarch Li didn't know what to say.

After a while, Patriarch Li sighed heavily, "If Xiaohan is a man, my Li family will have another successor." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Xinhe couldn't help but secretly ask himself, if Xiaohan's sister is a man, can he compare?

The father and son had different thoughts, and for a while, no one made a sound, and fell into silence.

The arrival of the third uncle broke the silence, "Patriarch, let me ask you, what do you think about Du Zhong?" You've got to find a way to get out. ”

How to balance the interests of all clansmen and individuals and lead a clan forward is something that every patriarch should think about and work.

"This method, the Xiandong family can tell them a few, which shows that the Xiandong family is a kind and righteous person." The patriarch said slowly, setting the tone for this matter first.

People who are affectionate and righteous should not be harmed.

"I thought, I can't hide this Du Zhong thing for too long. Everyone watched the entry and exit, and the barked trees in the mountains couldn't be hidden. It was probably because of this that the Xiandong family told them this, and they didn't say that they were not allowed to tell others. And in this village, those who are related to the family will not be able to hide it for long. ”

"However, because of this, the clan can't treat the Xiandong family as fools and let him dedicate himself selflessly. Therefore, the clan will not take the initiative to publicize this matter, let Xiandong and them make a wave first, and once the rest of the villagers ask, I will let one person from each family help Xiandong for a day's work, just like Xinhe and De have them. ”

"So, I thought, it would be about three or four days before most people knew how to do it. At that time, Xiandong had already drunk the soup. ”

The patriarch spoke slowly, but tried to take everything into account.

The third uncle nodded and reminded, "Yes, I want to remind you, I'm afraid that there are always some people who are dark and unhappy." ”

There are haters who hate people, and those who are secretly red-eyed will not be absent.

"Hmph, let him come and tell me if he is upset, I see who dares to be upset. Just help for a day's work, and you will end up with a way to make a fortune, my family is Xinhe, your family is virtuous, and you also helped Xiandong build a house for half a month, they still dare to be upset and cheapen them. ”

"There are also those who feel that they are late and make less money, I think they usually weave a straw mat and weave it better than others and have to hide it, why are they not generous to contribute to the way to make money."

In this way, the whole thing came down, and the third uncle asked again, "Okay, the matter over there is settled, what about the trees on the public land of the clan." ”

"Keep the income, help the old and the young, support the expenses of the clan education, and then continue to buy the clan land. This is the legacy of our ancestors. The patriarch didn't have to think about it, and said directly.

"Well, you just have an idea. Hyundong, did you call him over? "As the most respected elder in the clan, even if Li Xiandong is a meritorious person in the clan, he should not be invited by the third uncle in person.

The patriarch swallowed his saliva, "Third uncle, there is one thing, I want to tell you, Xinhe said, in Xiandong's family, the person who secretly takes the idea may not be Xiandong, but Xiaohan." ”

"Impossible." The third uncle waved his crutch and pointed directly at Patriarch Li, "You don't think I'm old and confused." Xiaohan's female doll, how old is she, in her early tens. You say she has an idea, you make me stupid. ”

"Third uncle, 13 years old, but a little thinner." Patriarch Li smiled bitterly, "You and I want to believe it, but what Xinhe said is reasonable, and you remember the scene of the day when Xiandong's family held a wine, greeting the clansmen and arranging a banquet were both proper and atmospheric, and even Xiandong drank his gaffe, or the vinegar that Xiaohan poured for his father." ”

The banquet that day was too successful, and when I recall it now, the third uncle and the patriarch feel that it is inappropriate---- it must have a very proper housewife.

Wang's?

No, just look at the quail's appearance and know no!

Lee Hyun-dong?

Let Li Xiandong go to farm and believe that he can, and let Li Xiandong arrange who to sit with whom, when to serve food, and when to visit the new house.

No.

The patriarch and the third uncle still know Li Xiandong.

Well, the rest of what seems the least likely is the most likely.

The third uncle, with agility far beyond his age, instantly turned his head and stared at his grandson Li Deyou, "You helped your brother Xiandong build a house for more than half a month, and you have been with their family for a long time, what do you think?"

Li Deyou was originally listening, and he was so shocked that he didn't want to, but he was suddenly stared at by his grandfather, and he was very nervous for a while, "Ah, Xiaohan's niece, cooking is delicious." But ......"

Li Deyou reacted slowly, and said with a little belated sudden realization: "It's not impossible, in Brother Xiandong's house, as long as Xiao Han wants to do something, no matter how big or small, in the end, it will naturally do what Xiao Han wants." ”

The important thing is that this is natural.

The third uncle finally wants to take a look at the inconspicuous elders in this clan, at the age of 13, he can grow like this without being taught, so he can take a serious look.

Don't underestimate women, the third uncle is at this age, he has survived in troubled times, but he doesn't look down on a woman.

Today's queen, I heard that she was also born with the saint.

"In this case, let's go to Xiandong's house together and talk about Du Zhong together."
