Chapter 107

Although the signboard of Detiange Food Shop has not been put up yet, but she has to take care of the whole family to eat and drink, and Da Ya is not idle, and it is already dark when she returns home after working in Baifu Courtyard.

She is not worried that her family will be waiting in a hurry.

Because Li Shan, her family's husband-in-law who runs a shopkeeper outside, returns later than her every day.

Li Shan's parents are honest people, and they ran a simple tofu workshop from dawn to dusk.

In order to sell more tofu, Li Shan went outside with the village men to work as a bearer when he was less than ten years old.

The life of the family is better than the top and the bottom is more than the bottom. In addition, a few years ago, the elder sister of the family married a scholar in Ximiao Village, and subsidized her natal family from time to time.

Li Shan's father and mother suddenly felt that life was more hopeful. Although they were getting older, they became more and more energetic in their work.

Da Ya and Li Shan grew up together. At the beginning of the year when their father was injured while hunting and the family was having a hard time, Li Shan's mother came to propose marriage.

It is said that when the son is old, the aunt is diligent and skilled, they like it very much, and they can rest assured that the shop will be handed over to the son and daughter-in-law in the future.

They are all from the same village, and they know each other well. Aunt Le doesn't know that this is someone trying to help their family.

I was a little bit sorry, but Da Ya and Li Shan had feelings for each other, and Aunt Le was not pretentious, and agreed to the marriage.

After receiving three taels of silver from Li Shan's family as a betrothal gift, he spent five taels of silver and went to the town to invite a doctor to treat Xiao Si'er's father, thus saving Xiao Si'er's father's leg.

"came back?"

After putting the two dishes and dry food brought back on the table, and tidying up the house, Li Shan finally got home, and Da Ya went forward to greet him with a smile.

As he approached, he subconsciously glanced at the heavy load, sighed in his heart, but didn't show it.

Nowadays, people's tastes are getting more and more tricky, and the tofu at home is getting harder to sell.

"I brought meat dishes and bone soup today, so I can make up for it for you."

She said in a cheerful tone.

After entering the house, Li Shan unloaded the load, rubbed his burning shoulders and glanced at the back room, "Dad and mother have a rest?"

"Tomorrow I have to get up early, and my parents soaked the beans early and then rested." The big girl responded softly, knowing that Li Shan was worried about his parents' health, and said:

"Dad and mother ate all the food I brought back in the afternoon, and they have a good appetite."

As long as he can eat, Li Shan twitched the corners of his mouth and sat down at the table to eat rice.

Although he couldn't go hungry with dry food when he went out, he loved to eat hot dishes and soup made by his wife, and chatted about the new things he encountered during a day's walking around the streets.

"I heard something new in Guojia Village today."

After wolfing down for a while, his stomach felt a lot better. Li Shan's eating speed slowed down, and he also felt free to talk.

Da Ya was looking at the clothes on the side. Hearing this, she raised her head and picked through her hair with the tail of a needle, and said with a smile, "The people in Guojia Village are so lively, and there are new things every day. It's great."

"What is it?"

Li Shan shook his head with a smile, "This time it's the scandal of Mr. Guo's family."

Da Ya was a little surprised.

"Can the scandal of Mr. Guo's family be spread all over the street?"

The rich man of the Guo family is the God of Wealth of the Guo family village. It is the first time that the rumors are good and good.

"This time I guess I can't hide it even if I want to."

Li Shan recounted all the gossip he heard, "I heard that the son of Mr. Guo's family also took part in this Qiu Wei. On the day of the exam, he ate something bad and went to the latrine. The test paper was overwritten by the invigilator." Shit poked."

Isn't it normal to eat a bad stomach and go big?
Da Ya blinked, "What's a poop?"

Because his brother-in-law is a scholar, although Li Shan doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, he knows a little bit about it, "I heard that there are test papers with shit stamps, and the graders will feel bad luck and don't read them, which is equivalent to a white test."

There are still such unreasonable rules in scientific research?

The big girl was dumb, and it took a long time before she said a word:

"No wonder Mr. Bai said that the meal before the exam should be light and should be reduced. He also gave Mr. Luo a lot of pills. He must have taken this into consideration."

Li Shan also nodded.

"Mr. Luo is lucky. The dormitory that he was assigned was far away from the latrine. I heard that some candidates were drawn to the dormitory next to the latrine. Many of them just gave up the exam."

This big girl knows it.

On the day of Mr. Luo's celebration banquet, I told everyone an interesting story, saying that if anyone gets a bad name during the scientific examination, it must be because of his ordinarily ruined character or the lack of virtue of his ancestors that caused such a disaster.

At that time, everyone sighed.

Mr. Luo also said that the weather of this scientific examination is not good, not to mention hot and cold. In the last few days of the examination, the entire examination room was almost stinky, and mosquitoes and flies were rampant.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who gave up the exam halfway, and those who barely made it to the end were mostly mentally ill.

"It's not easy for a reader"

Da Ya sighed, "Can you tell me how our eldest brother-in-law did in the exam this time?"

Li Shan shook his head. He heard that many people did not do well in the exam this time. How could he dare to come to the door to ask?

"Let's ask the eldest sister when she comes back."

The next day when the college was closed, Xiao Si and Xiao Liang met to see Li Zao feed the chickens, ducks and geese, but only Xiao Liang really came to see the chickens, ducks and geese, and Xiao Si came to see Li Zao.

Every time Li Zao feeds, he puts on a smirk and pretends to be obedient against his will, and somehow hits Xiao Si's smile, Xiao Si thinks Xiao Bai is really good at torturing people.

She went back and asked her father, who said he had never heard of this kind of breeding method.

"Haven't you heard of it?" Xiao Liang scratched his head with a look of disbelief, "But Xiao Bai used to talk and sing to the vegetables he grew, so the things she grows are very magical and delicious."

Xiao Si was also stunned, "Do you still want to sing?"

Xiao Liang nodded: "I'm in a good mood and dancing."

The women and men in Taohuawu like to dance, Bai Fu has learned a little from them, and sometimes he sings and dances with people in the vegetable field when he is in a good mood, so Xiao Liang likes to go to the vegetable field with Xiao Bai very much.

Xiao Si fell silent.

Looking up at Li Zao, who was smirking stiffly over there, he asked again:

"Then why doesn't Xiaobai let Brother Li Zao sing and dance too?"

Xiao Liang smiled, his face was as bright as the warm autumn sun, he lowered his voice and whispered:
"Because brother Li Zao sings too badly, Xiaobai is afraid that he will scare the little animals."

Bai Fu really asked Li Zao to sing that day, but as soon as Li Zao finished singing awkwardly, Bai Fu called him to stop, saying that he should speak well.

After Li Zao fed the chickens, ducks and geese, he fed the leaves to the rabbits.

After counting and finding one missing, he turned his head to look at Xiaosi Xiaoliang not far away, and sure enough, he saw Xiaoliang holding a rabbit in his arms and smoothing its fur.

That was the only white rabbit.

Every time Xiao Liang came to tease him, Li Zao looked away and began to clean the pigsty.

He has done these jobs well, and now he can do everything in a decent way.

Adults and children in the village would come and hang around when they had nothing to do, either to tell him what to pay attention to, or to bring some weeds from the mountains to feed him to the pigs, or just like Mr. Xiaosi, to see him.

Li Zao's forehead protruded.

What to see, what is there to see!

Li Zhoubo stood in a daze at the entrance of his yard.

In the past, unless his grandson was fighting and making trouble, the front door of the house had never been so lively. Li Zao Nai no longer weaves straw sandals, but spends all day at the door of the house weaving straw baskets, mats, grass rabbits, and giving them to the children in the village, thanking them for helping to pick pig grass.

Grandma Li Zao has a good handicraft. Although it is made of cheap straw, the things she makes are very vivid and very popular among children.

Many children even came here to learn from her. The small courtyard at home was bustling with activity every day, and he didn't dare to recognize it.

Ever since his son died in battle, his wife only smiled at his grandson, and other times he would weave straw sandals by himself, but now he smiled genuinely at a group of children.

Li Zhoubo turned his head, picked up the bucket and pole and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"Xiao Liang, have you really seen the seven colors of sunlight?"

Back home, Xiao Liang hid in the shade of a tree and watched the sun, while Xiao Si basked in the sun in the middle of the yard.

Xiaobai said that children need more exposure to the sun to grow taller.

Xiao Si stretched out her palms to cover her eyes, squinted at the autumn sun through her fingers, and asked Xiao Liang who also squinted at the sun.

Xiao Liang nodded seriously.

"I've really seen it. If Xiao Si wants to see it, wait for Xiao Bai to come back and ask her to show it to you."

Xiao Si sighed.

"Xiaobai has been away for more than ten days, it must be very hard to be outside alone."

Since Xiao Bai left, she hasn't heard any new stories, it's strange to miss her.

"Don't worry, Xiaobai is very powerful." Xiaoliang smiled with eyes crooked, "She is the most powerful and smartest woman I have ever seen."

Xiao Si was startled, and quickly turned her head to look around, her eyes fell on Luo Jin who was writing in front of the study window, seeing that he was still writing seriously, without any other actions, so she felt a little relieved, turned her head and stared at Xiao Liang and said in a low voice:

"Keep your voice down! You want everyone to know that Xiaobai is actually"

She didn't say those two words, she paused and said fiercely:
"Anyway, you are not allowed to tell anyone!"

Now it was Xiaoliang's turn to not understand.

"Why?"

Although Xiaobai never took the initiative to tell others that she was a woman, he had never told him so seriously not to tell anyone, so he didn't understand why Xiaosi was so nervous.

"Why are you so stupid!"

Xiao Si rolled her eyes.

"Xiaobai is over 16 now. If people know that she is a woman, they will say that she is an old girl who cannot be married."

"And according to the law of Daye, a 17-year-old unmarried girl will be severely punished. Do you want to cause trouble for her?"

Hearing this, Xiaoliang was also surprised.

"Since there is such a strange law? Xiao Si, how do you know it so clearly?"

Xiao Si curled her lips and didn't answer.

Nonsense, of course, I heard those women chatting.

"What about the man? Is it okay if you don't get married?" Xiao Liang asked.

Xiao thought for a while, "It seems that men and women are different, I will ask my father later."

There are ready-made ones here, why do you need to turn around and ask, Xiao Liang called Brother Luo, and Luo Jin looked up.

Xiao Liang repeated the question just now.

"Brother Luo Jin, do you know?"

This Luo Jin naturally knew, "Don't worry, it's enough for the man to marry Guan. Xiaobai still has time."

Men's eighteenth and crown.

Xiao Liang and Xiao Si looked at each other.

Therefore, Xiaobai still wants to get married.

"What will happen if we don't get married?" Xiao Liang asked after thinking about it.

Luo Jin smiled.

"If it is light, the property will be confiscated, and if it is serious, the parents will sit together. The specific decision will be made by the local parent official."

"Then why hasn't Brother Luo Jin married yet?" Xiao Si asked puzzled.

Luo Jin's eyes dimmed, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Because my brother has to be a filial piety for his parents for three years."
