Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 220
Li Dalang came back just in time for dinner, and it was indeed the village head who caught him and wanted to talk to him about the truth.The job of the village head is really not an easy job. Disputes inside and outside the village have to be taken into account. Uncle Li's grandfather has to teach Li Dalang a long time.

Coincidentally, when I came back, I met Li Ming who was also coming back, and the two brothers returned home together.

Li Houzhong smiled and went out to greet his two sons, saying: "Your in-laws are here, hurry up and say hello."

Li Dalang and Li Sanlang looked at each other, but said nothing, they obeyed Li Houzhong's words and went to the main room together.Guan Ming rubbed his hands, looking at the two young juniors who came in through the threshold.

The one in the front is taller, and Guan Ming in the back is familiar, and his face is also familiar. When the new house opened a treat, Guan Ming, the younger brother of the daughter-in-law, paid a lot of attention.

Guan Ming came forward with a smile, and Li Dalang and Li Sanlang called "Uncle-in-Law" back and forth.

Guan Ming said with a smile: "No politeness, no politeness, we are all one family, one family."

Guan Ming stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry up and sit in the room, it looks like it's time to eat."

Li Dalang responded, wondering: how could this uncle come?In a blink of an eye, he looked at his brother-in-law who was standing on the side, his face sinking like water, and his footsteps paused.

Li Ming said pleasantly: "Brother-in-law, you are here too? Then my sister is..."

"Zaojian." Li Houzhong said with a chuckle, "Mingzi misses your sister again, hurry up and go."

Li Ming responded, took off his bag and put it aside, and went to the kitchen.Li Houzhong touched his chin and said to Guan Ming: "This kid was brought up by his sister since he was a child, and he has a good relationship with his sister."

Guan Ming just nodded, and said to Li Dalang with a smile: "Compared to the last time, Dalang looks a little thinner."

Li Dalang opened his mouth, thinking that he was wearing thin clothes at that time, but now he is wearing bloated clothes, how can he tell that he is thin...

Guan Wen just felt that it was embarrassing for Guan Ming to stay here, but when someone came, he couldn't drive him out with a loud voice, and he still couldn't do it to embarrass his father in front of his wife and mother's family.I thought that his attitude was very clear that day, why didn't my father have any eyesight, and insisted on joining in the fun?
Guan Wen was very sullen, and because Guan Ming kept pulling Li Dalang to talk, Guan Wen was not very happy, and even Li Houzhong, who was with him, was a little embarrassed—the father-in-law caught his son talking non-stop, but It's like putting yourself aside.And what he said is not much different from what he said to Erlang just now.

Guan Ming praised Li Dalang once, saying that he is promising and capable, and so on, and finally expressed his admiration for his promotion to the village chief, with a hint of "don't forget your relatives when you are prosperous" in the words. Li Dalang was embarrassed.

What a coincidence that what my uncle asked him to talk about today was the warmth and warmth of people in this village.

Compared with the Lotus Village, the composition of the Li Family Village is simpler—people surnamed Li and people not surnamed Li.Generally speaking, the surname of farmers is Li, so it is more or less related to many families in the village.Li Fei is still young, and he is the youngest newly elected village head among all the neighbors in the four townships.

What's more, any man and woman surnamed Li who is older than him in Lijia Village may be his brothers and sisters of the same generation, or uncles, aunts and elders above.He always needs to look forward and backward when dealing with things.Of course, there are also those who want to make a fortune by relying on his status as the village head. Among them, the old village head Daodao just told him that he couldn't finish talking for three days and three nights.

Today, Li Fei has benefited a lot from listening to what the old village head said for a day, but he is also really tired.Tomorrow I will be busy with banquets, so when I come back, I want to have a good meal and then take an early rest to refresh myself.Now Guan Ming caught him talking, and had to deal with his in-laws, Li Fei really felt that his heart was more than enough but his strength was not enough.

So the attitude seems a bit negligent.

Guan Ming was unhappy, thinking that he, as an elder, should be listened carefully to the younger generation, but seeing his daughter-in-law and her eldest brother, she only responded to him after a few words. !I don't know how to respect elders at all.

He was still very kind on the face, asking him how he was doing, what he was busy with today, and what the old village chief said to him...

Guan Wen interjected at the right time: "Feizi has been busy all day today, and I'm afraid he's too tired. I heard from my sister-in-law that Xiaodou had a hard time yesterday, and now that the fever subsides, I think I'm going to miss you as a father. Hurry up and go to your room." Take a look at Xiaodou."

Guan Ming could only smile and say, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go see your son!"

Li Fei naturally climbed down the pole given by Guan Wen, apologized to Guan Ming, and really went to his room, thinking that he would come out when he was eating.

Li Fei left with a sigh of relief, and Li Houzhong smiled shyly: "It's almost time for dinner, Da Lang probably came out with Xiaodou in his arms."

Guan Ming just said "It's okay", and chatted with Li Houzhong again.

Guan Wen walked out of the main room full of thoughts, and subconsciously walked towards the stove. When he got closer, he heard voices coming from there, with occasional laughter. He thought he was very happy.

Guan Wen paused, then turned around and headed for the cowshed.

The Li family's dog named "Wangcai" was wandering around the cowshed, because Guan Wen had stayed at the Li family for a day, and it didn't bark at Guan Wen—farming dogs are somewhat spiritual, and they can communicate with their masters. Dogs generally think that they should not bark at people who stay with their owners and do not conflict with them.

Wangcai circled Guan Wen, and after two circles, he felt bored and ran away.

The cow in the cowshed was chewing the hay in a spirited manner, and it seemed to have grown a bit since the last time I saw it.

Guan Wen was thinking about it when two little boys ran over with a "dongdongdong".

Yang'er held a bamboo in his hand, and he lifted the bamboo in Shanzi's hand.The two children ran up to Guan Wen, and Shan Zi yelled, "Uncle!"

Yang'er also called out, "Father."

"What are you playing?" Guan Wen squatted down with a good temper. Shan Zi and Yang'er looked at each other and walked up to Guan Wen. Shan Zi said, "Let's ride horses!"

"Well, ride a horse!"

Yang'er agreed, and Shanzi said: "The horse is so tall and big! When I grow up, I won't ride a fake horse anymore, I want to ride a real horse!"

"Me too!" Yang'er continued to echo.

Shanzi nodded heavily and said, "Brother Yang'er will follow me from now on. I have a horse to ride on, and you have a horse to ride on!"

Guan Wen thought it was funny, how could ordinary people afford such a horse?
Compared with means of transportation such as cows, donkeys, and mules, horses are undoubtedly of a higher level.It is fast and flexible, and it is also the mount of soldiers and generals who fight on the battlefield.Except that the ranch will raise horses and sell them to the royal family for training, generally only wealthy people will feed horses.Sending letters requires fast horses and whips, travel requires a carriage, and good horse riding skills can be praised by others... This is not something that ordinary people can afford.

If the price alone is calculated, a horse is worth two or thirty taels of silver at least.

Seeing that the two children were talking enthusiastically, Guan Wen didn't want to interrupt them, but listening to them talking one after another, he could hear some interest.

The two children played all afternoon, and their foreheads were already wet with sweat.When Mrs. Liu called for dinner, the two hurriedly put the bamboo horses in their hands on the side of the cowshed and stood there, wiped their foreheads, and took Guan Wen's hand to the main room, and the two of them chatted happily through Guan Wen. Get excited, keep talking about how the horse is, and what kind of horse you want in the future.

When they arrived at the main room, the food was put on the table, and Guan Ming sat down with Guan Ming on the main seat without hesitation, and greeted the sons of the Li family with familiarity.

Zhang Shi and Jiang Shi looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Liu Shi.

There is no custom in the Li family that women cannot eat at the table, probably because there are fewer people in the Li family. Before Li Xin got married, there were only eight adults, Li Houzhong, Li Fei, Li Qiu, and one Li Ming and a Li Xin just made up a square table.

There were eight members of the Guan family before Li Xin married, but women are not allowed to eat with men in the main room, and I don't know where the rules come from.

Mrs. Liu was angry, but thinking that her daughter and son-in-law had come back, there was another father-in-law, and there was no room for a table. She thought that when the Buddha left, the father-in-law would not be able to sit down. Forget it, it's better not to conflict with him and make it difficult for the daughter and son-in-law, so he waved to the two daughters-in-law and served the dishes on the table.

The adults know what the adults think, but the little boy doesn't understand. It happened that Li Dalang brought the little pocket, and Shanzi and Yang'er washed their hands and walked to the main room.

While wiping his hands behind his clothes, Shan Zi asked curiously, "Grandma, do you want to eat in the kitchen?"

Mrs. Liu nodded, and Shanzi said loudly, "Why?"

Mrs. Liu opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer her grandson's words. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly led Shanzi and said, "Shanzi is obedient, won't it be warmer in the kitchen?"

Shanzi thought for a while and felt that the stove was indeed warmer, so he made a deal with Mrs. Zhang: "Then brother Yanger and I will eat while warming up."

"Okay, you can eat where you want."

Mrs. Zhang responded helplessly, hugged the little bag that rubbed her eyes from Li Dalang's arms, patted his head and said: "It should be all right, and the fever has subsided."

"This child is really delicate." Liu said with a smile, calling all the women to go to the kitchen.

Li Xin put the food aside, saw Guan Wen went to wash his hands and came back to stand at the door of the kitchen without making a sound, so he went up to him and asked, "What's the matter, come in quickly and have dinner."

Guan Wen breathed out and said, "Father, he really makes me restless."

Li Xin paused: "Just this time."

Tomorrow is a good day for her elder brother, so she can't be unhappy with her father-in-law today.Anyway, this kind of thing is something that can be encountered but not sought after, and Guan Ming will not find a reason to come to her natal family to seek relationships in the future.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Hurry up, otherwise everyone will miss you."

Guan Wen didn't look very good-looking, and he also knew that his father was disgusting, just by looking at his mother-in-law's face.

He responded silently, and then dragged his steps towards the main room.
