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

Chapter 44 Say good things for the daughter-in-law
Just now, I could smell the fragrance outside the yard, which made the few people who were rushing home from work feel even hungrier.

"Didn't Sanlang come back today? That's why Qingqing bought a piece of meat specially, saying that it was Sanlang who studied hard and wanted to make up for him." Shi Shi said, with a constant smile on his face.

But there are some things that she plans to discuss with the old man before telling her family.

After the third daughter-in-law handed over half of the money she made privately to buy meat and half to her, Shi Shi also thought a lot.

At present, the family works together to provide for Saburo to study alone, and this general direction will not change.

But on some minor issues, is it time to make some adjustments?
For example, the eldest and the second are not young. They have been married for many years and the son is about to marry a wife as an adult, but because the family has not been separated, they have no money in their hands.

Of course, in Shi's mind, it is impossible to separate the family, at least not when the old man and she are still there.

As for the future, she won't be able to see anything when she closes her eyes, so she can't care so much.

There is a truth that Mrs. Shi understands. In the past, the whole family could only save money by farming and the old man did carpentry, so the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law had nothing to say.

But now, the third daughter-in-law has proposed the idea of ​​doing business, and most of the work is done by the eldest and second wife.

At this time, if they still want to hand over all the money they earn to the public, they will definitely have small thoughts in their hearts.

Instead of hiding it like this and finally having an accident, it's better to talk about it from the beginning.

Shi's idea is just like what Qingqing did today, in the future, half of the money they earn by themselves will be handed over to the public and the other half can be kept by themselves.

But anyway, the old man is the real head of the family, so now she just has this idea, at least she will discuss it with the old man at night before announcing it at home.

So now, Shi simply said that the third daughter-in-law bought meat and planned to make up for Saburo.

Although there wasn't much meat, everyone got a taste of it anyway. It's just that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li really only tasted it a little bit.

They were also mothers, and of course they gave their sons a rare piece of meat.

Fortunately, their man is not unconscionable, and he gave his own flesh to his wife.

Except for a few small ones, the rest of the people really just tasted the meat, but Lao Li's family is not as patriarchal as other families.

Li Dalang's daughters Yaya and Li Xiaomei also got a piece of meat, and Fang Qingqing also got a piece of meat.

Moreover, since she bought the meat, she and Li Sanlang both got a full three yuan.

Generally speaking, everyone had a very happy meal. Even the cabbage was stewed in broth, and today Shi Shi generously boiled a few eggs.

Everyone ate very happily.

In the afternoon, Li Sanlang wanted to work in the fields with his father and elder brother, but was stopped by his mother.

"It's hard for you to take care of your body. What if you get tired and get sick again?"

The words were not pleasant, but Li Xiuping knew that his mother's worries were not unreasonable, so he didn't go and just helped with some simple chores at home.

Cleaning the yard, cleaning the table, helping to light the fire, etc., looking sick and weak, he is definitely not the kind of nerd who does nothing.

What surprised Fang Qingqing was that Li Sanlang even went into the kitchen to help.

In any case, people in this era have the idea that "the man is in charge of the outside and the woman is in charge of the house". When the farming is busy, the women will also go to the fields to work.

But even during the slack season, the men at home are old men, and they don't help the soy sauce bottle when it's upside down.

Just like her father-in-law, in fact, the relationship between the father-in-law and the father-in-law is very good, but the father-in-law is taciturn but not definitely not the kind of unreasonable man.

The big and small things in the family are basically decided by the mother-in-law.

My father-in-law is very diligent, and he is always busy from morning to night every day.

But what he does is also outside work, but when he comes home, he is a real old man cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, but he has never been seen doing such things.

On the contrary, Li Sanlang does not put on the airs of a scholar, as if he has never heard the saying "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen".

Now, Fang Qingqing looked at Li Sanlang more differently.

Having already had such a good meal at noon, at night Shi just cooked a pot of porridge and added pickles to feed the whole family.

Except for Li Sanlang, Shi Shi steamed an egg for him alone.

After thinking about it, I steamed another one for Saburo's wife.

When Mrs. Shi was cooking porridge there, Li Sanlang helped to light the fire, and he also used a very good excuse
"It's useless to just study hard, and my body can't just lie down and rest. I can't do heavy work, but I can't stop working. It's said in the book that moderate exercise is also good for the body."

Look at what Sanlang said clearly and logically, the key point is that Shi Shi was completely convinced by the sentence "it is said in the book".

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Shi was very happy that San'er was here with her.

After all, Yao'er is the one she loves the most, life|root, but he is rarer than the eldest and second child because he seldom studies outside and returns home.

So when cooking, Shi couldn't help but started talking to his youngest son:

"Sanlang, don't be too frugal in the academy, there is no need to copy books and focus on homework."

Li Sanlang brought back all the few taels of silver distributed in the academy and gave them to Li's mother, and saved them for his travel expenses when he went to Beijing to catch the exam.

But this time when he came back to buy gifts for everyone, it was Li Sanlang who earned money by helping people copy books outside, and he had already passed the road in front of his parents.

Adding a handful of firewood to the stove, Li Sanlang paid attention to putting in a larger one, and after a while the charcoal fire could be used to make roasted sweet potatoes.

They had eaten it at noon, but they didn't expect that the roasted ones were much more fragrant than those cooked in porridge.

His little daughter-in-law is really smart. Not only is she a lucky person, but she is also smart. Everyone in the family likes her.

"Mother, don't worry, when I copy the book, it means that I read it again. It is good for my homework. I used to envy my classmates who copied books to make money, but I don't dare to spend too much time on copying.

Fortunately, Qingqing married here, she is a lucky one, and my health has been much better since we got married. "

Sparing no effort, Li Xiuping once again praised his daughter-in-law in his mother's ear.

It's just that Li Xiuping is a little clumsy when it comes to the relationship between men and women. After all, he has little knowledge and experience.

But when it comes to life and dealing with complex interpersonal relationships, etc., Li Xiuping is a good hand.

He deeply understood that even if his mother fell in love with Qingqing for the time being because of her success, it was absolutely impossible for her to truly treat her as his own daughter.

But he occasionally said good things for his wife in front of his mother, and his mother would definitely like her more and more under his subtle influence.
