Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 122
Hearing that Li Xin and his uncle had returned, Mrs. Liu was even more happy, and rushed out to welcome them into the main room, and Li Houzhong also came out of the room.

"It's just in time, we haven't served dinner yet." Liu said with a smile, "Did Xin Er come to the house to wait for news?"

"What news?" Li Xin asked puzzled.

"What else could it be? The news that Mingzi was not selected!" Mrs. Liu laughed even more joyfully, "The result came out in the afternoon yesterday. Your third brother went to town last night to wait to see it. It's time to be back."

Just as he was talking, he saw a thin but not thin half-sized man walking from the other side of the road, and beside him was a handsome middle-aged scribe.Li Ming's height has reached Li Xin's shoulders, and he will be as tall as Li Xin in a year or two, and he will not look short standing next to a middle-aged scribe.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly yelled, ran over to take the bag from him, and smiled at the middle-aged scribe, "Mr. Gu is here too?"

"Sister-in-law Li, you're welcome." The middle-aged scribe smiled, "I'll have a meal."

"welcome!"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly invited people in, but Li Ming seemed to be in a low mood, with his head drooping slightly, until Mrs. Liu said, "Mingzi, your sister is back." Then he raised his head, and his eyes lit up immediately.

He ran into the main room with a "thump, thud, thud" and saw his sister sitting there smiling, his eyes were red with grievance.

Seeing him like this, Li Xin was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood what had come to him, and still smiled and waved to him and said, "Ming'er, come and let sister see."

Li Ming walked over slowly, sat next to Li Xin, called "Sister" and then said nothing.

Mrs. Liu led Mr. Gu in and asked him to take a seat.Mr. Gu has met many people in the Li family, but he is not familiar with Li Xin. Mrs. Liu has to introduce him to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu also knows about the affairs of the Li family. First, he likes Li Ming as a student, so he cares more about his family situation; The story of his sister was talked about and got into his ears.Seeing Li Xin now surprised him a little.

Unlike ordinary women, who either came back after learning a whole set of bad habits, or were dejected and hopeless, this Li Shi didn't look like she had stayed there for five years.He has good looks, and his attitude towards Li Ming is also very gentle, so he must have a good personality.

Mr. Gu twisted his beard, Mrs. Liu poured tea for him, Li Houzhong sat up and rubbed his hands and asked, "Mr. Gu, my third child..."

Mr. Gu smiled: "I didn't win this time."

One sentence made everyone in the room stutter, and Li Houzhong was obviously a little disappointed: "No, I didn't win..."

Mrs. Liu was also taken aback for a moment. She was full of joy and thought that San'er would definitely be promising this time and would make him look good in the village, but her son was not selected as a scholar...

So she was also very disappointed and sighed.

Suddenly I heard Li Xin say: "It's not good, Ming'er is only 13 years old, there are too few 13-year-old talents, let's not be that early birds."

Looking back, Mrs. Liu saw her daughter stroking his younger son's head and jokingly said, "Did you droop your head if you didn't win? If you win in the future, can't this head go up to the sky?"

Mrs. Liu let out a "puchi" laugh, seeing that Mr. Gu was also looking at his daughter and said embarrassedly: "I made you laugh..."

"It's okay." Mr. Gu smiled slightly, Li Xin raised his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Gu for coming back with Ming'er."

Mr. Gu waved his hand: "It's nothing." Then he said: "This time the test questions are really difficult for Li Ming. He is not old enough to learn those strategies. It is common sense to fail. lost."

Li Houzhong and Liu Shi hurriedly said, "Yes, that's the reason."

"I don't think he's really sad, it's just a pity." Mr. Gu said with a smile: "At first he wasn't depressed, but after scanning the list, he suddenly became unhappy." Mr. Gu pointed Refers to Li Ming: "This child is usually very moody and angry, but now his mood is engraved on his face."

Li Ming felt a little embarrassed when his husband said that.On the contrary, Li Xin felt that this Mr. Gu was much better than that Mr. Zhang, not to mention his knowledge, but his personality.

Li Ming pulled Li Xin's hand, shook his head, and said, "Father, mother, my sister must be hungry when she arrived early in the morning, let's eat."

"Yes, eat, we will talk after eating."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked her daughter-in-law to help with the arrangement. Although Mr. Gu was a gentleman, he was rather humorous. He chatted happily with Li Houzhong and others at the dinner table, and even Guan Wen could interject a sentence or two. The husband seemed to be taking care of everyone at the dinner table, so that no one would feel left out.

After the meal, Mr. Gu was about to leave. Li Houzhong asked Mr. Gu to stay a few words: "I just came to have a meal, and if I stay again, I will have another meal."

Li Houzhong smiled and said, "It's our family's honor that Mr. Gu can stay for dinner."

Mr. Gu waved his hand and said: "I am very casual, Brother Li, don't be so polite." Then he said seriously: "I like Li Ming very much, and I am very optimistic about him. He doesn't look sad when he failed this time, he can see I think he is a man of determination, and he will become a great weapon in time. But I don’t know why he is lost now. You family members should enlighten him. He is still young, and he has a long way to go in the future. Don’t do it because of him once. To lose is to deny him."

Li Houzhong hurriedly said "No", rubbing his hands together and said: "His sister also said, don't put too much pressure on him, he is young, if he fails the exam, it will be a trial, and next time he will have more experience than others. It’s a good thing to say it failed.”

Mr. Gu was thoughtful, said a few more words to Li Houzhong, and then left. Li Houzhong asked Li Dalang to see him off.

Mrs. Liu sat next to Li Ming'er, and Li Xin was next to him on the left and right. After thinking about it, she asked, "Ming'er, what's the matter with you? The husband said you didn't pass the exam and you didn't Uncomfortable, your family won't say anything about you, why are you uncomfortable now?"

"Mother." Li Xin cast a disapproving glance at Mrs. Liu, who bulged her eyes and said, "It's not that your siblings don't know that your mother's words are not pleasant. If you don't ask Xiner, you will stare at your mother when she asks. Then Mingzi must have a reason for being unhappy."

Li Ming's eyes flickered, and he said vaguely: "It's nothing, mother, I'm fine."

Mrs. Liu scolded: "Stop arguing with mother, you came out of mother's belly, mother doesn't know you yet?" Then she took a breath: "What's the matter, tell mother."

Even Guan Wen also chimed in: "Mingzi, please tell your mother and sister, otherwise they will have doubts and feel uncomfortable."

"That's right." Mrs. Liu patted Li Ming: "What's the matter, tell mother."

Li Ming became more and more embarrassed, but just kept his mouth shut.Li Xin was also curious at first, but seeing him like this, he felt that he should not be pushed too far.Li Ming is 13 years old, and in modern times, he is still a junior high school wife. He still has his first love girlfriend's private affairs, so maybe Li Ming has things on his mind.

Li Xin waved his hands and said: "Mother, it's fine if Ming'er doesn't talk about it, who doesn't have any little secrets in his heart, don't bother him." Then he said to Li Ming: "You call father and the others, sister has something to say to your brother-in-law."

Li Ming hurriedly agreed to call for someone, and when everyone was ready, Li Xin said: "Ah Wen went to borrow money from his friend and paid off all the debts outside. From now on, he will only owe money to his friend, so as not to worry about it in the future." When we have money, we can’t tell which one to pay first and then which one to pay back.”

As he spoke, he motioned to Guan Wen, who took out the money and put it on the table.

Guan Wendao: "If my father-in-law and mother-in-law were not willing to pay for me when I had an accident, I might be a piece of loess now. Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't worry, I will treat Xiner well in the future and live a good life with her. The incident of Xiner going back to her natal family will never happen again, and I ask my father-in-law to trust me this time."

Li Houzhong happily said "OK".Mrs. Liu glared at Li Houzhong, looked at Li Xin and said, "Why are you asking someone to borrow money again? Isn't there no way to ask for help at that time?"

Li Xin originally thought it would be good to lie to anyone, but it was not good to lie to her natal family, but thinking about the source of the 100 taels of silver, one less person would know about it, so she suppressed her guilt and lied: "Then After a while, Ah Wen was unconscious again, and I didn't know he had this friend. This is the person he went to find when he recovered from his injury."

"Then invite you to dinner at your room. Is his friend here?"

Li Xin said vaguely: "I'm here, I just came here and felt that we were living poorly, so Ah Wen asked him to borrow money to borrow it."

Mrs. Liu was dubious, but she also knew that her daughter was a measured person, and nothing would happen to her, so she took the money, but said: "Then you borrow money from others, and don't spend it lavishly. It’s a lot of money to exchange these things.”

Li Xin smiled and said, "This is Ah Wen's wish."

Guan Wen hurriedly said: "It is right to give gifts to father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Li Houzhong was very satisfied, and even Mrs. Liu's complexion looked better. Just now, the depression caused by Li Ming's lack of a scholar was relieved. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that although the youngest son was not a scholar, at least he was recommended by him. Tongsheng, and still young, it's not like there will be no chances in the future.Now that the daughter and son-in-law live separately, the daughter-in-law can make up her own mind about family matters, and she doesn't have to look at the face of the son-in-law and his father, and doesn't have to continue to worry about the son-in-law's younger brothers and sisters. Now the son-in-law has told her that he will be good to the daughter-in-law , daughter, this good day is coming.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu was happy, and insisted on pulling Li Xin to stay with Guan Wen at Li's house for one more night, and let her go back tomorrow morning.

Li Xin said helplessly: "Mom, I had to go back after I came here for a call. I have to go back to make dinner. I don't feel at ease when Grandpa and sister are at home."

"There's nothing to worry about." Mrs. Liu said angrily, "What's wrong with staying for one night?"

"I made an agreement with Grandpa and I'll go back in the evening." Li Xin hurriedly said to Liu Shi: "Mother, I'll come and see you next time."

Mrs. Liu tried to persuade her to stay but couldn't. After all, it was the married daughter who spilled the water. After thinking about it, she was relieved, and asked the two grandsons to say goodbye to their aunt. Shan Zi raised his eyes from Li Xin and said with a smile: Cakes are delicious!"

Li Xin pinched his little nose: "If you eat too much, worms will get into your teeth."

Shanzi immediately covered his mouth with his hand, looked at Li Xin with a terrified expression, and cried for a long time: "Gu bad!"

"Auntie didn't want you again this time."

The Li family's calf is also growing fast, and now its back reaches Li Xin's waist.

Shan Zi twisted up when he heard Li Xin say Niu Niu: "Niu Niu changed his name!" Then he looked at Li Xin expectantly, "Quickly ask me!"

Li Xin complied with his intention and asked amusedly, "What's the name of Niu Niu now?"

Shanzi puffed out his chest: "We are brothers with Wangcai! Niuniu is now called Yucai!"

by...

Mrs. Zhang burst out laughing, "This villain has long teeth, and his mouth is open. He said that Niu Niu is called Zhaocai."

The Li family all laughed, and Guan Wen hugged the mountain even more.

Li Xin's head was full of black lines, thinking that if her natal family added another animal, wouldn't it be called "Jinbao"...
