After the men of the Li family came back at night, they found out what happened in the next afternoon.Li Erlang picked up the hoe that was still in his hand and yelled to go to Yang's house to settle accounts with others, but was reprimanded by Liu Shi.

"Your mother, I beat someone up, and you still came to the door. This makes no sense."

Mrs. Liu snatched the hoe in his hand and handed it to Mrs. Jiang to put it away, then gave Erlang a look, "You're not too young, and you're still shouting and beating and killing all day long, so you don't seem to be prudent. It's nothing to learn. Learn from your brother, don't talk with your fists whenever you encounter something. Parents are fine, I'm afraid that your daughter-in-law will love you."

Just as Jiang came back after putting down the hoe, his face turned red when he heard this, and he stood shyly behind Li Erlang.

Li Erlang chuckled, looked back at his daughter-in-law, scratched his head and said stupidly: "She loves me and I love her too."

Li Xin let out a "puchi" laugh, and Li Erlang embarrassedly called "Sister", which made Li Xin even more amused.Think about it, Li Qiu, the second son of the Li family, is only half a young man, he is only a teenager, but he is already married and has a good relationship with his wife.Thinking about it, I felt a little bit emotional, my twenties are too much left now, if the marriage with the Guan family is settled this time, I will marry and become a wife and daughter-in-law.

When Li Ming came back, Mrs. Liu invited the whole family to have dinner together, and while Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jiang were clearing up the dishes, she mentioned the Guan family that Aunt Li had mentioned.

"I told you about the Guan family two days ago, and your aunt came to tell you about it today, and the Guan family boss agreed to this marriage. Tell me what you think."

Li Erlang frowned first, "The second daughter-in-law of Guan's mouth is very poisonous. If my sister passes away, it's not as good as she stayed in Guan's family for so many years, so she has to be bullied by her?"

"There are so many people in the Guan family, and there are two girls who are still at home. The relationship between aunt and sister-in-law is not good. And although there is no mother-in-law, there are father-in-law and grandpa. If this is the past, the things to do every day will be terrible There are more." Li Dalang was not very satisfied, he felt that his sister should not be married to others as a cow and a horse.

But Li Ming interjected lightly: "I think it's fine. Since Mrs. Li said that their family is an honest person, they agreed to this marriage. They will not gossip when my sister gets married. The whole Guan family is the most likely The one who opposes my sister is Guan Erlang's daughter-in-law. However, I think it will not be difficult to subdue her with my sister's ability."

As he spoke, he smiled playfully at Li Xin and blinked slightly.Li Xin secretly scolded him for being a big kid, coughed and said: "It's too early to say this. Although Aunt Li has explained it clearly to us, we have to see the actual situation for ourselves. Hehua Village is also close to our village. , It would be better to take some time to inquire about it."

Mrs. Liu looked at the four children, paused and turned to Li Houzhong, "Father, what do you mean?"

Li Houzhong rubbed his hands, and said vaguely, "You make up your mind, it's good to listen to your daughter, but your son is also right."

Mrs. Liu scolded him for being indeterminate, but after thinking about it, she finally said: "Then listen to Xiner, and find a time to visit."

So it was decided to wait for the summer heat to fill the crops with flowers, store more water to ensure the crops have water, and then visit the lotus village after busy work.

It rained a few times ahead, and the rain was not too heavy, but it alleviated the water shortage of the crops a little.But recently the temperature has picked up again, and the rain is not falling much. At this time, the sun, heat, and water are the most abundant. Lijia Village is not short of water, and there is a big river in front of it.The land of service is good, and the harvest this year should be good.

Li Xin licked her hair, feeling a little uneasy about the trouble her marriage had caused her family.The whole family was immersed in the joy that winter will enter in a few months, which means that the autumn harvest is coming, but they did not pay attention to her emotional changes.And from their point of view, finding a marriage for Li Xin is a serious matter, not to mention troublesome or not.This matter is because Li Xin thinks of himself as an outsider and thinks left.

After a few discussions, the Li family got busy in the next few days.Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jiang also started to help in the fields. Mrs. Liu stayed at home to cook, wash clothes, feed pigs and chickens, etc. Sometimes they were too busy, so Shanzi and Xiaodou became Li Xin's followers again, rushing forward Later, they pestered her to call her aunt, told her stories, and taught them to sing nursery rhymes and songs.

Li Xin was also happy to be a child king, and when the little guy was not pestering her, he would help Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu taught her some rules and techniques for cooking in the kitchen.For example, how to do things to save time, what to eat with what is more delicious, the scale that needs to be mastered when cooking in a big pot... Let her take several vivid "cooking women" lessons in the kitchen.

This is laying the foundation for her to marry.Mrs. Liu worked hard to teach, and Li Xin also worked hard to learn.There is no disadvantage in having skills, and she has to do these things after she gets married. Now that she has learned it well, she will not be talked about in the future.

Everyone put in all their energy to run the family well, and ignored the troubles brought about by Mrs. Yang Mei and Mrs. Yang.Fortunately, the Yang family hasn't made any moves recently. I don't know if the Yang Mei family was beaten up and embarrassed to publicize, knowing that they couldn't offend the Liu family, so they died down, or is it because they are recovering from their injuries during this period of time, holding back their hearts and waiting for it? Well, look for another chance to play tricks.

The Li family didn't care about the Yang family's affairs, because the Li family had a happy event!

Jiang is pregnant!

In fact, this has long been foreshadowed.Li Xin still remembered Jiang's saying that her back was sore that day, and she thought that the second sibling was tired from working too much, but unexpectedly, she was happy!This is a great joy!

Although the Li family wasn't too poor, they weren't rich either, and they didn't see any meat on weekdays.But no one suffers. The two children and Li Xin suffered.In the past, Mrs. Liu would stew an egg into custard for the two children every day at noon. After Li Xin came back, the egg would belong to Li Xin.But Li Xin can't grab food from his nephew, and from now on he will eat a small bite by himself, and give the rest to the two children.

Jiang shi was eating at the dinner table that day, and when he smelled the aroma of egg custard, he felt bored.I couldn't hold it anymore and finally ran out to vomit.Li Erlang hurriedly chased her out and asked her what's wrong, Liu's eyes lit up when she saw her like that, "Is she pregnant?"

The whole family stopped their chopsticks, Li Erlang helped Jiang back, and Liu asked her to sit down and eat first.After dinner, Mrs. Liu asked Li Erlang to go to the west of the village to find Langzhong Meng.

When the men were gone, Liu pulled Jiang to ask, "Did the sunflower water come last month?"

Jiang Shi vaguely knew that he might be expecting a baby, and he was embarrassed to hear his mother-in-law ask such a question, but he shook his head honestly.Liu asked again, "What about this month?"

"No……"

Immediately, Mrs. Liu became happy, patted her chest and said, "Amitabha, Amitabha, the second boy has a descendant too!"

Jiang's face was ashamed, and he could not help but put his hands on his abdomen and slowly stroked.Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Second brother and sister are still busy in the field these days, don't get pregnant, the first three months are the most dangerous. Anyway, there is not much to do in the field, so you can rest at home Come on, give birth to a white and fat little grandson for our mother."

When Liu Shi heard this, she said, "That's right, your sister-in-law is right! Don't get tired, just stay at home!"

Jiang nodded sensibly.

Li Erlang invited Meng Langzhong to confirm that Jiang Shi was indeed pregnant for more than two months.The whole family was very happy. Mrs. Liu gave Meng Langzhong fifty Wen Xie Yin, and cheerfully asked Li Dalang to send him back—Li Erlang was too happy to walk.

Mrs. Liu thought about how to make up for Mrs. Jiang.When Zhang was pregnant with Shanzi and Xiaodou, her natal brothers brought a lot of things.Firstly, Mrs. Zhang is the only daughter of the Zhang family, loved by her parents and brothers. Second, the family background of the Zhang family is good and the people are good. At that time, Mrs. Liu was very grateful to the Zhang family for allowing Mrs. Zhang to marry Li Dalang. So it is always good for this daughter-in-law.

Jiang's natal family was in a bad situation. When Li Erlang married her, she didn't bring much dowry.Of course, Mrs. Liu didn't care much about it. Marriages in the village were basically done with a little more dowry than the dowry, so it didn't cost much to marry Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang's family is pregnant, and her natal family can't do anything.This has to be carefully considered. The family is in a good situation now, and no matter how bad it is, the money that Xiner took out can be used.It's just that Mrs. Liu doesn't want to touch the money.The last time Li Houzhong sold the iron plow, it cost more than one tael, and now they have more than eight taels left.Dalang, Erlang, and Saburo each received five taels. The two daughters-in-law are sensible, so it is probably useless, not to mention that there are three gold ornaments and jade ornaments kept by the three sons, even if they exchange money, they can change their heads.

Mrs. Liu has always wanted to use that sum of money as Li Xin's dowry. It was originally her money. With the dowry, she will be tougher at her in-law's house.

But at this time, Mrs. Liu thought again, should I spare some money and buy something good for my second daughter-in-law to make up for her?
