The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 17 Let's Eat Together
Fang Qingqing and the Li family have the same idea when it comes to Xiucai Lang's health, they can ignore small things and focus on his body now.

So Fang Qingqing said indifferently: "It's okay, I don't want to go back."

There is no more Lingquan water now, so why not go back to your mother's house in two days to have a look.

This time, the person who shook his head was Li Xiuping: "No, you should go back and have a look today."

The Li family is a well-known big family in ten miles and eight towns, and the Fang family had a decent life before, but after this accident, they became poor.

Ordinarily, the relationship between the two families is not equal, especially the Fang family received a dowry of eight taels of silver from the Li family but the girl did not give much dowry when she got married.

To be reasonable, the Fang family is actually even more guilty.

Moreover, the Li family hired a girl from the Fang family only for joy, and the marriages of the two families were not equal in level, so the Fang family did not dare to pursue the daughter-in-law's family in terms of etiquette.

But Li Xiuping didn't see it that way, he wasn't afraid of being called a sick child, anyway, it was a fact that he was in poor health.

But he didn't want people to tell Fang Qingqing's merits.

Qingqing is his wife who is the treasure in his heart, not someone outside who can make irresponsible remarks. Accompanying his wife back home is what Xiucai Lang most wants to do at present.

It's just a pity that his body dragged his feet.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuping raised his head solemnly, and begged Li's mother: "Mother, why don't you let my younger sister go back with Qingqing. Also explain to my father-in-law and mother-in-law that I didn't accompany my wife to see the second elder today. My fault, I will come to the door to apologize another day."

At this moment, everyone else has gone out to work, and there is only Li's mother at home. Accompanying her are Li's sister-in-law and Li's younger sister.

I went to call the doctor again early in the morning. Li's mother was still very worried, but the old doctor came to see her and made her happy.

The last time Sanlang woke up, the old doctor just said to wait and see, but this time he made it clear that he was just weak and there was no major problem.

In fact, Li Sanlang's body was often like this in the past. The old doctor is very familiar with their old Li family. This is the first time that the old doctor has said with certainty that there is no serious problem with Sanlang's health.

Maybe it's still not as strong as Dalang Erlang, but at least he won't be dying at every turn, Li's mother still understands this.

Of course she was very happy, looking at Fang Qingqing with such kindness and tenderness.

It was also because of this that the men of the Li family were relieved and could go out to work.

The second sister-in-law of Li went to the river to wash clothes, while the elder sister-in-law and younger sister stayed at home with Li's mother.

Today is the day when Xiucai Lang's daughter-in-law returns home, of course Li's mother has some arrangements.

Li's mother also heard what Li Xiuping said, and nodded in agreement, "Today, Sanlang will stay at home to recuperate, and his mother will be considerate if he wants to come. Our old Li's family is not a big family, and we don't pay attention to those rules and etiquette. It's okay for me to accompany your third sister-in-law back home together."

As for letting the third daughter-in-law go back alone, Li's mother would absolutely not be able to do such a thing.

Now the third daughter-in-law is her favorite in this family besides Saburo, and she must not let this child be wronged outside.

In the past, Mrs. Li's daughter-in-law had always been the most satisfied daughter-in-law in Li's mother's mind.

The third daughter-in-law had only been married for a few days, and the mother-in-law changed her mind?
Sister-in-law Li could see clearly from the side, but she was even more sure that the third daughter-in-law was really a lucky star, and even she was very grateful.

Over the years, although the family seems to be a big family in Hongqiao Village with no worries about food and drink, other people envy their family's good life.

In fact, only the insiders know the real inside story. Apart from eating and drinking, the Li family's life is not much better than others in other aspects.

Studying is really costly, because the master appreciates Saburo's talent, and he didn't ask his old Li's family to pay much for the repair.

But every year and festival, you have to give a gift. These are still small heads. After reading, you must buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Everything is a big expense for the children of the peasant family.

What's more, because of Saburo's intelligence, the whole family is very confident about his future in studying.

And with the popularization of the masters in the academy, everyone knows that after taking the college exam, they have to go to the provincial capital to take the rural exam, if they can still pass the exam.

Then, it was time to go to Beijing to rush for the exam, and the travel and accommodation fees along the way were all kinds of miscellaneous expenses.

The sum is not a small amount, at least a few tens of taels of silver.

For the peasant children who have no way to make money, this is extremely difficult.

Both Li's father and Li's mother are very far-sighted and have confidence in their family Saburo, so they have been trying to save money in recent years.

Let's put it this way, the family doesn't spend much money on weekdays, except for the big event of marrying the son to a wife.

Even if Li's sister-in-law and Li's second sister-in-law came in, they all lived in tight clothing and food, all for the same purpose.

They just waited for Saburo to pass the exam and become famous, and they could all live a good life along with him in the future.

When Saburo was seriously ill, the whole family was dumbfounded and felt that their hopes for success were about to be dashed.

Now, looking at Fang Qingqing, not to mention Li's father and Li's mother, even Li's elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law Li are all more and more satisfied.

Fang Qingqing probably didn't expect that Chongxi would live a pretty good life after marrying into Li's family?

Like now, the sun is already high, and the farmers have already gone out to work.

As a result, when she and Li Sanlang came out, there was a simple breakfast on the table, and Mrs. Li smiled and said that she was waiting for them to eat together.

The others had already eaten, because they were afraid that the young couple would lose face, so Li's mother and sister-in-law Li waited for them on an empty stomach.

Simple white rice porridge with steamed buns, but Mrs. Li specially boiled an egg and steamed an egg custard.

She and her mother-in-law only drank porridge and ate steamed buns, and the eggs belonged to San Lang and his wife.

In fact, not to mention the Li family, there is no family in the entire Hongqiao Village that eats porridge in the morning and cooks vegetables, and the white flour steamed buns are specially prepared for the new daughter-in-law.

Li Sanlang, who always eats alone, has changed this time. Before drinking egg custard, he first scooped three big spoonfuls into his wife's bowl. He just said that half a bowl was enough for him and he couldn't finish it.

In addition, he broke off half a steamed bun and prepared to eat it.

During this period, Fang Qingqing didn't say a word, just lowered her head to peel her boiled eggs.

After peeling, the white|tender eggs were divided into four parts with a spoon, and the four people on the table shared a little bit each.

Fang Qingqing always put the eggs directly into the porridge bowls in front of them, with an attitude of not being able to refuse.

"Let's eat, let's all eat together."
