Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 213 Some trouble
He Fanchang laughed and said, "All the neighbors in the four townships have got newcomers."

Mrs. Zhou joked: "All of you, the older generation, have come down and made room for the young people to do some business. I'm afraid you won't be happy."

"My father-in-law is not old, he is strong and strong, because he likes to train young people nowadays, otherwise my father-in-law could have been the village head for many years." Yinhuan took the opportunity to flatter and winked at Li Xin quietly.

"Speaking of which, the Li Family Village is still Guan Wen's wife's natal family?" He Fanchang pondered for a while and smiled, "The head of the Li Family Village is also named Li, but we know each other?"

More than knowing...

Li Xin laughed twice, Guan Wen said: "I know..." He didn't break the relationship.

He Fanchang didn't ask if he was familiar with him. He also knew that the surname Li in Lijiacun was a common surname, maybe it belonged to the same family, so it's not unusual for him to know each other.

Guan Wen and He Fanchang chatted for a while, and He Fanchang stayed with them for lunch, and Guan Wen and Li Xin were about to say goodbye and leave.

Yinhuan hugged her eldest son and followed Li Xin out, He Chunsheng chatted with Guan Wen, Yinhuan blinked at Li Xin: "How is it? Did I speak well today?"

Li Xin laughed and said, "You've said that you slipped your tongue."

"That was an accident." Yinhuan puffed out his chest: "Anyway, father-in-law agreed to this matter, I helped you, don't forget it!"

"Are you here to ask for a reward?"

Yinhuan smiled "hehe": "That's not true, what... next time I go to your house and you just get something delicious, remember it!"

Li Xin smiled helplessly and shook his head, Yinhuan patted his eldest son and said, "Hurry up and call Aunt Xin, next time Mother will take you to Aunt Xin's house to eat delicious food, and Aunt Xin's house has a little brother to play with you." .”

Yinhuan and He Chunsheng now have three sons. The eldest son, He Xingbin, is only three years old this year. He still doesn't speak very well, and his temperament is not like his parents. .Yinhuan kept saying that her eldest son had the wrong birth, and that he should be a girl.

He Xingbin's nickname is Binbin, unlike his two twin brothers He Xingguo and He Xingbang, who added an "A" before the suffix, making it more feminine.

Li Xin teased him and said, "Does Binbin want to go to Aunt Xin's house to play with little brother?"

Binbin turned his head and buried his head in Yinhuan's neck, but he didn't answer Li Xin's words, and his little head was rubbed against him.

Yinhuan smiled and said: "He's just a tomboy. I think he should be a girl, but he's very familiar with him. You haven't gotten to know him well yet. Once you get to know him, he'll stick to you so tightly that you'll throw them away like brown candy. not drop."

Li Xin looked at Yinhuan enviously, and said sincerely: "Such a baby is caring."

"You're only three years old, what do you know?" Yinhuan patted Binbin's head, and said to Li Xin, "Then I won't keep you, and I know you have a lot of family affairs." Yinhuan paused: " But you should be more careful. Although you clean up the river beach and don't disturb others, there are always some aunts and six wives who hate their mouths. What a terrible word, if you hear it in the future, you have the right to treat them as farts, these old godmothers are always full of food and drink, and have nothing to do, and the things in other people's houses are the same as what happened in their own house , and it's very real, don't be mad at you."

Li Xin smiled and said: "When I get busy, I don't care what they say. It's nothing, don't worry."

On the other side, He Chunsheng also said to Guan Wen: "Brother Guan, you should be more careful. There are also a lot of rascals in the village, and some of them have a little friendship with Sun Hongyan. My father mentioned Sun Hongyan's name at the beginning. Seeing that he hasn't done anything wrong these years, and he's worked diligently, he was chosen unexpectedly." He Chunsheng said: "Whether he has any intentions of being hostile to the Guan family or not, it's always right for you to be careful. of."

Guan Wen thanked He Chunsheng, and it happened that Yinhuan and Li Xin also finished talking, so Guan Wen and Li Xin exchanged greetings with them and then left.

On the way, Li Xin remained silent until Guan Wen called her to come back to her senses. She opened her eyes wide and said, "Ah Wen, my elder brother... is the new village head of Li Family Village?"

Guan Wen nodded and said with a smile: "You still suspect that you have heard wrong?"

"No, but..." Li Xin still felt unbelievable: "How could it be... the eldest brother is only 22, if he has made many achievements, how could he be selected..."

"Is it a bad thing to be elected?" Guan Wen took her hand and said, "If you talk about achievements, I haven't seen Sun Hongyan make any achievements. Your elder brother is honest and responsible, calm and fair. Your old villager in Lijia Village It's not surprising that he was promoted."

"Oh!" Li Xin suddenly called out, "I remember that the old village head of our village was my father's uncle, and he was somewhat related by blood."

"That's not surprising. The surname Li in your Lijia Village is the common surname. If two people with the surname Li are pulled out, they may be related. It's no surprise."

Guan Wen replied and looked at Li Xin with a smile. Li Xin was a little embarrassed by her look and said: "I was just thinking, big brother became the village chief, father and mother..." He sighed and said: " Always feel a bit troublesome.”

Guan Wen didn't understand what Li Xin meant.

Li Xin said: "Actually, being the village head is not very useful. You also know that any two people with the surname Li from Lijia Village may be related. My eldest brother is also surnamed Li. If the time comes So-and-so and which family has a quarrel and let my elder brother mediate. According to my elder brother's temperament, if there are two elders, how can he persuade him? This task is tiring, and it is easy to attract people's hatred. It is better not to have it."

He said with emotion: "I don't know what the current emperor thinks. Although the older generation of village chiefs may be a bit stubborn and pedantic, and lack vitality, there is always a seniority there, and it is useful to speak anywhere. They will listen. If you change young people rashly, you will always be unconvinced.”

"You worry about what those people do. Today has today's thoughts, and today's thoughts cannot be speculated."

Guan Wen pulled Li Xin and said, "Hurry up and go home. Those things are out of our control. We can do whatever we want now. Our small households should just be busy with their own one-third of an acre of land. "

He said with a smile: "The matter of Hetanzi has been settled, and Uncle He has also agreed. We still have a lot of things to do next, so let's put those trifles aside."

Li Xin nodded, grabbed Guan Wen's arm and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you for now."

After returning to the new house, Guan Wen continued to repair the new chicken shed, and Li Xin set up a sand table for Yang'er to teach him to write.A-mei was sitting on one side, with a large pile of things on her lap—she was already helping Axiu embroider a mandarin duck quilt.

Li Xin pointed out Yang'er's pen holding posture and sitting posture for a while, and turned his head to talk to Amei for a while, the atmosphere was very warm.

At this moment, the old man was idly walking outside the house with a cigarette stick in his mouth, heading for the new chicken shed next to the bamboo forest.Erhei circled around his legs.

When he reached the chicken shed, Guan Wen called out to his grandfather, and at the last moment he laughed and said, "Look at the dog your wife brought back."

Guan Wen looked at Er Hei, Er Hei obediently sat on the ground on his hind legs, with his front legs on the ground, looking at Guan Wen.

Guan Wen was amused: "What happened to it?"

"I see you dog, I'm afraid you will find a companion in spring." He said with a smile at the old juncture: "It looks like an adult with its size, and if it stands up, it may reach my waist. "

The old juncture is getting older, generally speaking, the elderly will grow and shrink, that is, they will grow shorter.The old juncture is slowly getting shorter, but fortunately, he is in good spirits, he is happy every day, he eats comfortably and sleeps comfortably, and the white hair on his head grows back even if he doesn't see it.

Guan Wen helped him to sit on the stone with white bamboo sticks on one side, and said, "It knows what to eat by itself, and it knows how to find food by itself. My own daughter-in-law must also know that I am looking for it." He said with a smile: "Fortunately, it is a male dog, if it is a female dog, you have to take care of the matter of giving birth, so it will be a little troublesome."

At the old juncture, he groaned: "That's not good either. If it's a male dog, if it becomes an elder, there won't be any pups to take care of the house for it..." Then he looked at Guan Wen: "This dog is like a human being." The truth is universal, without a man, you can’t support your family.”

As he spoke, he muttered a few words, but then said happily: "Wang Taoist said that there will be a baby in three or two years, so I am going to have a grandson..."

Guan Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, watching the old juncture he was laughing and talking to himself, and he didn't bother him, just doing his own work.

But at noon that day, Guan Ming came to the new house.

A simple bathroom was built next to the house on the other side of the hut, which was requested by Li Xin.The hut is different from modern ones, and there is always a peculiar smell, and she has some psychological shadows when taking a bath in that place.

At this moment, Li Xin was rubbing Yang'er's back soaking in the barrel.The barrel is not big, its height is only up to Li Xin's thigh, and its diameter is no more than a step away from her, which is only enough for Yang'er to get in and soak in it. Li Xin and the others only have to water and wash in the bath.

Yang'er was paddling in the bucket, his eyes were bright, and when Li Xin turned him around, he squinted and smiled at Li Xin.

Thanks to Mrs. Shen, now they can use Polyporus in the bath and wash their hands, and the cleanliness is even cleaner.Recently, Li Xin is still researching making soap from pig lings, in order to make it smell more fragrant. Right now, Yang'er is using the trial product.

Li Xin teased Yang'er: "Is it comfortable to take a bath?"

"It's comfortable..." Yang'er giggled and said, "It's hot."

But after all, it is a bucket for bathing, and it is useless to boil water. Farmers don’t bathe much, and the water will be cold after a while.

Li Xin took clean warm water again, hugged Yang'er up and made him stand on the ground, and poured water on him himself, it was considered that the cleaning was completed.

He was holding Yang'er to wipe his body, when he heard Erhei's cry, after a while, Amei came over and said outside the door: "Sister-in-law, daddy is here."
