The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 3 The Li Family
"Sister-in-law, is it convenient to go to the ground, I will help you." Li Mingmei came in and said.

Zhao Yunlan glanced at Li Mingmei, Li Mingmei was under 12 years old in his memory!According to this day and a half of cognition, Li Mingmei is a little girl who can really get along with her. She is busy from inside to outside, she is always busy, she does things neatly, and she has a good personality.

Zhao Yunlan nodded in response. In fact, she wanted to go to the toilet a long time ago, but she had been thinking and diverted her attention a little. Now that Li Mingmei said it, she felt that she couldn't hold it back.

Zhao Yunlan pressed her weight of [-] to [-] catties heavily on Li Mingmei's body, and watched Li Mingmei's hands were scratched and she was still holding on.

Li Mingmei brought an unused rotten wooden barrel for Zhao Yunlan's convenience in the morning, and Zhao Yunlan didn't care about other things at the moment, she just wanted to solve the problem.

Li Mingmei stood beside her without even touching her brows, and after Zhao Yunlan was done with it, she struggled to help her back to the bed. Li Mingmei then picked up the filth and dumped it into the latrine, and rinsed the wooden bucket to bring it back.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingmei because she was busy, and her affection for Li Mingmei doubled.

Li Mingmei went to bring Xiaobao to see Zhao Yunlan again. Zhao Yunlan was very helpless at the moment, thinking that she had never been in a relationship at the age of 24, and now she came here not only married but also had a child.

Um?Yes, where is my husband?
"Little sister, I'm always coughing ~ the husband-in-law~"

Zhao Yunlan wanted to ask where the cheap husband was, but she didn't see her, and then slowly recalled that the original owner's husband went to school in the town, and he didn't go home often on weekdays. If he didn't often go home during the Chinese New Year !
According to the original body's memory, Mr. Cheap is the eldest in the family, named Li Mingren.

After Zhao Yunlan got married, she heard from her mother-in-law, the Wang family, that the old Li's family was considered a good farming family in the early days.

In troubled times, old man Li was born in such an environment. There were disaster victims everywhere outside, and the world was very chaotic. However, because Qingshui Town, where Li Family Village belongs to, was located in a remote place, few people here escaped famine.

During the war, the government was changed from one office to another, and there was no proper management system. In addition to the turmoil outside, various forces increased food everywhere, and there was a famine to some extent in Lijia Village, but because it was close to the mountain and had a shelter, there was not enough food. If they could grit their teeth and survive, no one would leave Lijiacun in the end.

After old man Li was born, old man Li, also known as Li Mingren's grandfather, hoped that his son would grow up safely and that the war would end as soon as possible, so he named his son Li Pingan, which is now old man Li.

During the war, people's food and clothing conditions were particularly bad, which led to a decline in people's fertility rate, and most of the children born could not support them. Mr. Li was also a capable person, and he desperately protected the pregnant woman until she gave birth. Finish.Li Ping'an was also born at full term. Although Mr. Li was capable, Li Ping'an's mother was injured, and she never got pregnant again.Old man Li became the only son in the family.

When Li Pingan was ten years old, a new dynasty was established, new emperors established new policies, and various systems of the country began to be implemented.

Mr. Li also felt indebted because his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and hurt her body, so he worked very hard on farming on weekdays. He opened up wasteland and opened up six acres of land. Daughter-in-law and children can eat and dress warmly.

Old Li’s family has a small population, and Mr. Li’s parents died early. Before the war, he separated from his brothers, so Mr. Li’s family has a small population. But because of this, Mr. Li also earned some family business, and pushed the original wooden house A mud house was built.

Later, Wang Cuifen married. Three years after Li Mingren was born, Mr. Li rescued an old scholar on the road outside the village. The old scholar was originally out to collect folk songs. He got lost in the mountains behind Lijia Village, and later encountered a wild boar. , hurriedly avoided slipping and fell down the hillside, it happened that Mr. Li went to the mountain to collect firewood and found the old scholar.

The old scholar was recuperating at Li's family. As a reward, the old scholar gave Mingren to the three-year-old Li Goudan (Xu Sui), who had not yet been named at that time.

The old scholar also taught Li Mingren how to read. Although Xiao Mingren didn't recognize any characters at that time, he just read along with him vaguely. This encouragement made Mr. Li want to confess to the scholar.

Later, the old scholar lived in this village and became the only gentleman in the nearby village. Li Mingren began to study with him. Later, the second and third children of Li's family were born one after another, and they were also sent to the old scholar's school to learn how to read.

The old scholar passed away when the third child, Li Mingli, was four years old.

There is no teacher in the school, and the children studying in the school can only go back to farm. Some of them have learned some characters and go to the town to be apprentices. Only Li Mingren went home and continued to read with a book.

Seeing this, Mr. Li made up his mind to send Li Mingren to the school in the town. The second and third children stayed at home, and the fourth child was only two years old. Li Mingren's grandmother is getting older and her health is getting worse and worse. She needs to take medicine to maintain herself all day long. The family's finances can't keep up at once, so Mr. Li can only send Li Mingren to school alone.

Li Mingren went to the town to study and found that he was not as talented in learning as the old scholar boasted. He tried twice and failed to pass the exam, so he got into the horns. Slowly, he just blindly studied and didn't care about family affairs. .

One year after Li Mingren's grandmother left, the old man finally couldn't bear to leave together. The old man Li did not inherit his ability.

The couple didn't know how to educate scholars, and let Li Mingren study outside, so that now they can do nothing but study.

The children were getting older, and Wang Cuifen realized that she was not in good health, so she made the decision to choose Zhao Yunlan, who was one year older than him, for Li Mingren.

When Zhao Yunlan got married, Li Mingren seldom got along with Zhao Yunlan to cultivate their relationship. When Li Mingren rarely went home, he read with a book. Zhao Yunlan was also in awe of scholars on weekdays, so he didn't dare to disturb Li Mingren easily.

Wang's health was getting worse and worse, fearing that she would not be able to survive, she urged Li Mingren to accompany Zhao Yunlan to give birth to a child earlier. In addition, during that time, Li Mingren did not pass the county examination, and was stimulated and fell ill at home. After staying for a while, Zhao Yunlan became pregnant during that time.

In the beginning, Zhao Yunlan wasn't considered fat, at most she was slightly fat and strong. Mrs. Wang made up her mind because of Zhao Yunlan's slightly fat and strong figure.

Zhao Yunlan gained weight until she was pregnant and gave birth, and she couldn't lose weight, but people in ancient times thought that being fat was good-looking and blessed, so the original owner didn't have any concerns about her figure after getting fat.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlan guessed that it might be because the original main body was too heavy, which led to the direct one-shot death.

After Li Mingmei heard Zhao Yunlan mention her husband, she fell into deep thought. Standing beside her, she wondered if her sister-in-law had lost her mind and forgot about her husband.

It wasn't until Zhao Yunlan recovered that she realized that Li Mingmei was still waiting for her.

At this time, Zhao Yunlan may have used her brain too much all of a sudden, she was very dizzy, and she also felt a little nauseous.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Little sister, I want to rest for a while, you can take Xiaobao out!" Apart from the husband whom she couldn't meet, Zhao Yunlan didn't dare to face her cheap son.

After Li Mingmei took Xiaobao out, Zhao Yunlan was left alone on the bed to rest. Zhao Yunlan started to think again after her dizziness stopped. This Li family, the old man Li is not in charge, and Wang's health is not good. As the eldest son, Mr. Cheap can't afford it. There are three younger brothers and one younger sister. Looking at the layout of this room, you can see how difficult the Li family is now.

According to the memory of the original body, the current dynasty is the Jiaxiang Kingdom, and Zhao Yunlan's historical knowledge does not seem to have such a dynasty.

And after the establishment of this dynasty, the land system was reformed, and the war was caused by the serious land annexation of the previous dynasty. After many years of war, most of the land was abandoned and could not be cultivated, so the new ruler classified many lands as state-owned. Think twice. A decree was promulgated later that men at the age of 16 can be allocated [-] acres of land, of which [-] acres are permanent land, which is allowed to be bought and sold, and the remaining [-] acres are divided land, which will be taken back by the state and re-divided after death.

When this system was promulgated, Mr. Li was still there, but it was counted not from his generation, but from the generation of Mr. Li.

So the original six mu of land in the family was exchanged, and it became twenty mu of land, and only five mu of land could be passed down to the family. Eighteen acres, until Li Mingren and Li Mingyi were 16 years old, the family land increased, but the corresponding taxes also increased.

That is to say, it is the land that the family maintains and even survives. There are currently 58 mu, of which [-] mu belong to the family, and the rest belong to the state, and taxes must be paid.

And the Li family's land was not divided into fertile land at the beginning, it was sorted out by the three generations of the Li family little by little, so that they could barely maintain the family's life after taxation.

Besides the accident of Zhao Yunlan's fall, the family now has to support a scholar and an old lady who takes medicine for a long time.

Zhao Yunlan was fainted by her situation this time.
