The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 101
"Son, your parents can't help you anymore. Our family is grateful to your second sister-in-law, who has devoted all her efforts and paved the way for you and your nephews. If you fall, your nephews will not end well. .You have to understand that we are a family."

The mother-in-law sighed and continued: "I went to the capital, saw the world, and understood why your second sister-in-law worked so hard. Look at the Zhang family and the Zhou family. They use the efforts of the whole family to support them. The most outstanding men will come forward, and then they will lead the brothers below to come forward."

"Yes, my son understands."

"If there wasn't that yard, the Zhang family might have had another choice. With the yard, the Zhang family would support you and take care of you. Otherwise, if you were to marry into the Zhang family, even your brother Zhou wouldn't have many ways to refuse. My son, The capital is not a place to be messed around. A single move can affect the whole body. Your second sister-in-law is a widow, and your weak body is a stepping stone for the entire clan. If you take the wrong path, your sister-in-law's hard work will be in vain."

The mother-in-law looked at her youngest son with tears in her eyes and couldn't help but think of her second son.

"Mom, my son will remember. He will live a good life with his wife, put aside all those useless little thoughts, and fight for the Li family and myself."

Li Heng knelt in front of his mother, with tears in his eyes.

"Good son, mother knows that you are an upbeat boy. Mother is proud of you, and your second brother will also be happy for you. Go to the capital and help me keep an eye on your nephew. I'm afraid that he will learn wrongly and don't know about the Imperial College. What kind of place is this? I heard that only the children of noble people go to study. I was torn in my mind. Please help me keep an eye on the group of brothers."

"Don't worry, I'm watching. Brother Zhou is very good to Brother Qun. He disciplines and teaches you as if you were your own son. You can't go wrong. Brother Rui and I are watching, so there's no problem."

"That's good. I'm going to the capital to buy property. I have some money. I plan to buy some property for Brother Jing and Brother Rui. I can't leave your eldest brother's house behind."

"Okay, I don't have much on hand. Zhuangzi produced some, and there are only a few dozen taels left in total. Mom should use it too."

Li Heng's salary is very small, and his rank is only eighth grade.Just one courtyard and one village is enough to be self-sufficient, and there is nothing extra.

This money is still saved.

The shop on the other side of Qun Ge is owned by the Zhou family, and supplies Qun Ge, and every transaction is recorded. Qun Ge is only responsible for studying general affairs, and he can't get any extra money. He is still young and not stable enough, so he can't give it to him. So much money.

"No, I have it here. I don't have much expenses at home, so I just kept it all. Do you have a waiter in your yard? At least there must be someone who can cook."

Li Heng doesn't know how to cook. Basically, men in the Li family can only make simple meals but not cook.

"Yes, it's from the Zhang family."

"We will be a family from now on. There is no need to worry about these little things. According to what your sister-in-law said, you have to learn to control when you come. You are the head of the family. It is true that you show your ability. A man is a man. Be honest and speak your mind."

"Yes. Brother Qun, Brother Rui, don't worry. There is someone in the yard who was bought by Uncle Erqing. The person in front of Brother Qun was given by Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou and his wife are very good to Brother Qun and are very protective of him. Taught in the bosom.”

The mother-in-law explained several important things to her son.

The day is approaching, and the Zhang family's fleet has also arrived, with bright red flowers and joy. They have specially chosen a good day to come.

This is something that enters the Li family clan, and the bride worships her ancestors and enters the family tree, and the Zhang family also attaches great importance to it.

The Zhang family's parents were present in person, but the old man didn't come. It was a bit unbearable to go back and forth, and it would take almost half a month by boat.

He also brought many slaves with him, and these were considered as his daughter’s dowry.

When we got off the boat, the great grandfather took the Li family's relatives to pick him up and happily took him to Lijia Village.

The Zhang family looked at Lijia Village curiously. Now the spring is in bloom, the branches are luxuriant, and the trees and flowers are blooming and growing green leaves. It looks very pastoral and leisurely.

Moreover, many people built new houses last year. The styles are simple and grand, and the walls are newly painted. They look like a peach blossom garden.

Lijia Village has developed rapidly in the past few years. The second uncle led the villagers to repair the dilapidated place on the east side today and the dilapidated houses on the west side tomorrow. The entire village has been renovated and given a brand new look. Even the ancestral hall and clan culture are newly built.

"It's so beautiful. The yard over there is the prettiest."

The Zhang family discussed in low voices.

"That's Brother Heng's house over there. That small building belongs to his second sister-in-law. It's such a rare small building."

Grandpa introduced all the way to Zhang’s parents.

"No wonder Brother Heng misses his hometown. It's so beautiful, and I miss him too."

Master Zhang nodded happily. Lijia Village was not poor. The faces of the villagers were filled with hope and peaceful smiles. The atmosphere of the whole village was different. Li Heng did not cheat in any way. It was really good.

They also visited the weaving workshop and winery. Along the way, they felt that Lijia Village was prosperous and the villagers were full of longing and hope for a new life in the future.

When we finally came to the ancestral hall, Xiu Niang happened to be giving a lecture.Master Zhang waved his hand to tell everyone to be silent. He stood quietly outside and listened.

Today, in the class of historical records, Xiu Niang did not use books. She just sat in front of the records and talked eloquently, turning history into short stories for everyone. At the same time, she also had her own opinions, which were meaningful, profound and full of knowledge. scholarship.

The children listened very carefully, and Mr. Zhang was smiling and full of praise.

"Okay, there are guests at my house today, please remember to come and help."

"I know, sir, it's hard to cook."

The children came casually, shaking their heads and teasing.

Xiu Niang pursed her lips and said, "As long as you can eat it in your mouth, it's quite particular. There is a family banquet in the evening. Whoever's turn it is to take charge of the affairs today has to do it neatly. Today's guests are from the capital. It would be embarrassing to do poorly." Now that we’re in the capital, you guys have to figure it out.”

"Sir, we have been ready for a long time."

"That's right, I've thought about the menu several times."

"Okay, okay, you are the best."

Xiu Niang smiled happily.

The more the children practice, the better they look. They have a backbone and rules for doing things in their hands, and they all seem to be doing well.

Master Zhang and his wife looked at each other and nodded slightly, with approval in their eyes.

This widowed sister-in-law is not ordinary, no wonder Master Zhou protects her so closely.

After leaving the door, Xiuniang saluted Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang.

"Master Zhang, Mrs. Zhang is well. You have had a hard journey. Have a cup of tea at home."

"Okay, I listened to your lecture and couldn't help but listen to a few words."

"Hello, Master Zhang, hello Mrs. Zhang, students are being polite."

The children stood neatly behind Xiu Niang, bowed their hands, and showed good manners and politeness.

"Okay, good boy, you look good."

Whether he looks presentable or not, you can tell at a glance. Mr. Zhang works in the cabinet and is an old fox in the court. He has never seen anyone. How can these children hide it from him.

"Children, do you want to listen to Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang give you a lesson?"

Xiu Niang rolled her eyes and an idea came to her.

"think."

The chorus was deafening.

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed, pointing at her, "You wait here for me, I won't eat your meal for free."

A group of people were laughing from ear to ear.

"Children, Mr. Zhang is a veteran of the cabinet. Mrs. Zhang comes from a noble family and is well-read in poetry and books. It is your blessing to have her say a few words to you. Thank you two relatives."

Xiu Niang smiled and reminded the children.

"I would like to thank Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang."

"Madam, our village has invited a theatrical troupe this afternoon. It's really nice. My mother will also cook some good food to entertain you."

The little girl is the sweetest and cutest, raising her head cutely and tugging on Mrs. Zhang's sleeves to act coquettishly.
