Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 189 Between Children
She didn't know the rest of the Shen family, so she only had a friendship with Mrs. Shen, after all, it was still called a cooperative business.

Since her mother heard it, Ma Juncai called the man "Young Master" instead of "Master", so there is some consideration.

Shen Cexing is the master of the Shen family, and Li Xin naturally doesn't know how many brothers, nephews and nephews Master Shen Cexing has in the Shen family.But just based on the word "Young Master", Li Xin can deduce that the young master who is with Ma Juncai must be Shen Cexing's junior.

The elder of Mr. Shen's family and the second master both worked as county magistrates in other places, and the third master just came back. Although the fourth master is a dude, others only call him "fourth master", not young master.It is the turn of the word "young master" to be called next to the master.

Is it the grandson of Master Shen Cexing's elder brother?
Li Xin thought about it secretly, and he probably had an understanding in his heart.Thinking about it, I was just hooking up with Mrs. Shen, and the matter of the brother's house next to Mr. Shen had nothing to do with her. Even if this Ma Juncai, it was only because she thought about marrying someone, she had asked a few words. Not really a friendship.

So put it aside.

Li Xin told Mrs. Liu: "Mother, don't spread this nonsense, and don't tell others. Once it is passed on, it will definitely be known by everyone. Although you It's Ma's aunt who is sorry for you, but at any rate, the marriage is too dirty, so there is no need to argue with others, at least you two still have a little friendship in it."

Mrs. Liu moved her mouth to speak, but Li Xin hurriedly pulled her away and said, "Okay, mother, even if this matter is over, Aunt Ma's family must have known about Ma Juncai, so I wanted to find him quickly." A girl got married. This is a family ugliness, if you don’t show your ugliness to the outside world, don’t invite people to hate you.”

Mrs. Liu nodded hurriedly: "Mother knows, mother knows, so mother just told you, and she didn't even say a word to your sister-in-law or younger siblings."

"That's not safe." Li Xin smiled and said: "Mother, you know your own short-sightedness. If one day you quarrel with Aunt Ma's, you will have to talk about it."

Mrs. Liu smiled embarrassingly, and slapped Li Xin again: "Don't bury your mother! Mother has lived most of her life, how can she not know how to behave?"

Li Xin just laughed, and Mrs. Liu bumped into her: "Did you remember what mother told you? You have to take good care of your body when you go back. It's the Chinese New Year, and this year I have to earn a living. Prosperity is called life."

Li Xin nodded slightly.

After exchanging greetings with Li Houzhong, Guan Wen waited for Li Xin, planning to say hello to Li Xin's natal parents, brothers and sisters-in-law before going back.

Li Ming stood in front of Li Xin with his lips pursed and asked her, "Sister, how are you doing?"

"It's good." Li Xin patted him on the shoulder: "Ming'er is getting taller and taller. After a while, sister will come back, won't you be taller than sister?" He tugged at his clothes and said: " It’s just that I lost a little weight, and I usually eat more, and only with a strong body can I have the strength to do things.”

Li Ming nodded, knelt down to tease Yang'er and said, "Yang'er, think about my little uncle when you go back."

Yang'er grinned: "Yang'er will miss my little uncle!"

"I still have to listen to my mother."

"Well, listen to your mother!"

Yang'er hugged Li Xin's leg, put her face on her leg and smiled at Li Ming.

Li Xin said: "Yang'er likes you, and I've been clinging to you for the past few days."

After thinking about it, he asked Li Ming: "Will Mr. Gu accept such a child as him?"

Li Ming paused for a moment and asked Li Xin, "Sister, do you want to send Yang'er to school?"

"Well, don't ask him how promising he is, as long as he can read and understand, he is enough. He is four years old, and he is about the same age as Shanzi. Does my sister-in-law have any idea to send Shanzi to school?"

Hearing Li Xin mentioned Shanzi, Mrs. Zhang rushed over.Li Xin asked again, and Mrs. Zhang said: "My mother-in-law has such an idea. I just think it's too expensive... The work in the field must be done by people."

Li Xin also sighed.

After the father separated, the land was also divided.Dad's waist is not good, so he can't go to the fields, basically the land is handed over to the eldest brother and second brother for farming.Although the third brother is a scholar, he often helps out in the fields, but he is thinner after all, and he is not as good as the elder brother and the second younger brother who have been working in the fields for many years.

The reason why males are important in the countryside is that males can farm the fields.Those who plan food in the ground value the ground, even if a girl can go down to the ground, she is definitely not as strong as a boy.This is how patriarchy came about—men can work in the fields, but women have to marry when they reach a certain age. At worst, a little dowry from the husband's family can play a role?

Li Xin always felt that it would be easier to start a small business than to work in the fields from dawn to dusk.She did have some ideas, but she was afraid that her parents and brothers, who had been digging for food all their lives, would not want to leave the ground.

Li Ming said: "Sister, you don't have to worry, I can help Shanzi enlighten, as long as he is willing to learn, he doesn't have to go to school to study."

Mrs. Zhang also said with a smile: "Shanzi likes to study with his little uncle, and he follows him with a wave of his head. Let's read it later, he is still young now."

"Sister-in-law has to make up her mind with elder brother anyway. We have Ming'er studying in our family now, and future generations will give our family a good reputation of 'farming and studying heirloom'." Li Xin smiled and said seriously: "However, I still think it would be better for Shanzi to study. Although Ming'er can teach Shanzi, he has limited time and is not a serious teacher."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said: "Sister-in-law knows, you, don't worry about your own affairs, just take care of us."

Then he laughed and slapped her: "Hurry up and go back, your family has been looking at you for a long time."

Li Xin blushed all of a sudden, and Mrs. Zhang leaned closer to her ear and said, "You have to remember what sister-in-law told you, don't let it go in one ear and out the other."

Seeing Li Xin nodded slightly, Mrs. Zhang smiled and pushed her: "Hurry up."

"Mother, sister-in-law kicked me out!"

"Look at you chirping, I'm kicking you out too!" Mrs. Liu smiled and waved to Li Xin: "Hurry up, or it will be late when you get home."

Li Xin responded with a smile, and said to Li Houzhong: "Father, I'm going back."

"Ah, let's go, be careful on the road."

"Sister, Brother Wen, be careful on the road."

"Goodbye, aunt and uncle, goodbye, brother Yang'er..."

Guan Wen and Li Xin waved to the Li family, asking Yang'er to say goodbye to his grandparents. Yang'er also waved to them, crying like Shanzi.

The two little people have been playing together for the past few days, and naturally they have developed a relationship, and they are even more reluctant to part at this time.

Li Xin hugged Yang'er, while Guan Wen carried a shoulder strap, which was given by Mrs. Li at Li Jin's funeral. Mrs. Liu also stuffed some eggs, noodles and other food into it.

The two set off for the lotus village. Yang'er choked for a while, but stopped crying. He put his arms around Li Xin's neck and slapped his eyelids, looking sleepy and wanting to sleep.

Guan Wen stopped and said to Li Xin, "Let me hug him."

"It's okay, I can carry you." Li Xin pouted: "Let's go, he's not too heavy, much lighter than the strap on your back."

Guan Wen helped Li Xin change Yang'er's posture, making Li Xin hold him more securely and more easily. Then he sighed and said, "It's a long way."

"How long do you think he will sleep? The child wakes up after a while."

Li Xin walked forward, Guan Wen followed, and Li Xin discussed with him: "I asked my mother today, the three families I showed to Axiu in front of me are all dead. The first one We can't afford the conditions mentioned. We are already engaged to someone else, and the kid from the second family has to be a filial piety for his grandma, so he can't talk about marriage for three years. There is a third family... working in the Shen family Yes, Axiu must feel awkward, and I feel awkward too, so I won't mention it."

Li Xin suppressed the news from the Ma family, and only told Guan Wen that.

Guan Wen was startled at first, then sighed and said, "Why is Axiu's marriage so bumpy? Her [-]th birthday has already passed. If the marriage is delayed, she will always be married before the [-]th..."

Li Xin naturally knew this truth, but things happened to catch up, and she saw that something went wrong, and she was also very anxious here.The key is Axiu's age...

Sighing, Li Xin said, "I'll talk to Xing'er tomorrow to see if she has any candidates."

Guan Wen could only nod his head.

Li Xin thought it would be a short while to sleep with Yang'er, but unexpectedly, he hugged Yang'er all the way to Hehua Village. Yang'er woke up rubbing his eyes, and saw that it was dark.

Li Xin hugged her all the time, his hands were already sore, seeing that he woke up, he put him down and rubbed his shoulders.

Yang'er called out confusedly: "Mother."

"Well, do you still want to sleep?"

Yang'er shook his head and yawned.

Guan Wen picked him up and said, "I asked you to hand him over to me, but you didn't listen, are your hands sore?"

"It's okay, you didn't just hug him on the way, didn't you also change his position for me to carry him on your back?"

"We should make a carrying strap for pretending to be a child." Guan Wen said with a smile, "It won't be tiring to carry him in the future."

"What to do with it, you have to work hard. Yang'er is sensible, and he won't run around to make trouble. You see, he didn't see much movement when he was sleeping in my arms."

Li Xin straightened Li Yang'er's collar, tightened his neck to prevent the collar from getting windy, and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief: "Okay, let's go back quickly, our Yang'er's stomach must be growling. "

Just as he was saying that sentence, Yang'er's stomach let out a cooing sound.

Both Li Xin and Guan Wen laughed, Yang'er buried her little head in Guan Wen's arms embarrassingly.

It was already dark when the couple arrived at the new house, and Erhei's muffled cry was heard before they went up the slope.

Speaking of which, Erhei was also strange, when he seldom yelled, he always just directed at people sullenly, as if he was ready to pounce.But Li Xin thinks that he has a gentle personality, at least he never hurts others.

After going up the slope, Erhei probably knew the smell of his master, so he ran over and rubbed against Li Xin's leg.
