Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 34
It's not because I'm lonely that I'm asking for tickets, but because I'm asking for tickets that I'm lonely... Girls, you understand my tangled thoughts...

***
It was nearly a quarter of noon when the two arrived at Li's house, and the Liu family was already hopeless.

Seeing the two of them rushing home with each other from a distance, Mrs. Liu hurried out to meet them.Li Houzhong stood up, loosened the bamboo strips in his hands, and looked at Li Xin's direction with some excitement.

Before the person approached, Liu's loud voice sounded, and he shouted to his daughter and son-in-law: "Why are you here so late? You two have been waiting for a long time for lunch."

Li Xin waved to the Li family, called his mother affectionately, let go of Guan Wen's hand and ran forward.The mother and daughter approached, and Mrs. Liu hugged Li Xin, first squeezed her face, and was relieved when she saw her smiling, but couldn't stop complaining: "Why can't we have lunch at noon?" ? Why was it delayed on the road for so long..."

Li Xin smiled, and didn't plan to bring up the Sun family's affairs at this happy moment.Taking Mrs. Liu to Li's house, he smiled back and said, "Ah Wen, hurry up."

On the way, the two of them just ate some dry food to fill their stomachs, and they would naturally have to eat some cushions when they arrived at Li's house.Anyway, tonight I decided to have a rest at Li's house, so it's okay to delay dinner.

Guan Wen loosened the rope of the basket on his shoulders, called "Mother-in-law" to Mrs. Liu, and quickened his pace after listening to Li Xin's words.

Mrs. Liu was slightly satisfied with Guan Wen's attitude, and the displeasure she had felt earlier because of her daughter's and son-in-law's late arrival also subsided a little, and walked in excitedly with Li Xin on her arm, saying as she walked, "Your father thinks about it before, and I'd better go." I bought a calf and raised it, and it’s in good spirits! Shanzi and Xiaodou love it so much that they visit it several times a day.”

Li Xin said happily: "Really? Mother is willing to let go?"

Mrs. Liu gave her an angry look, "Your mother and I seem to be unreasonable. Is it possible that I won't buy calves if I don't let go of my promise to your father?"

"Where is it, mother is sympathetic to the difficulty of working in the fields for the elder brother and the second brother." Li Xin was tired of Liu Shi, "Mother is the best mother!"

"Look at that mouth of yours..." Mrs. Liu was delighted by her praise, and looked a little better at Guan Wen, "Master, you've been carrying a basket all the way, are you tired?"

Guan Wenlue replied respectfully: "I'm not tired, mother-in-law don't worry, these things are not heavy."

Mrs. Liu nodded in satisfaction, and finally arrived in front of Li's house.Li Houzhong rubbed his hands and laughed, "Daughter, are you back?"

"Ah, Dad, are you busy?" Li Xin walked up and said with a smile.Li Houzhong kicked the bamboo strips on the ground, "Don't be busy, let's go into the house quickly. After walking all the way, I must be thirsty."

As he spoke, he picked up a pile of bamboo sticks, and walked over to pick up Guan Wen's back basket.Guan Wen hurriedly said politely: "Father-in-law, I'll come, as long as I come."

"It's nothing, just put it down and rest."

During the conversation, Mrs. Liu had already filled two bowls of water, and went to call Mrs. Zhang out. Li Dalang and Li Erlang were also resting at home at this time, and the two brothers were discussing about going to the market to buy vegetables in the backyard. , Hearing that Li Xin was back, they hurried to the front room.

Li Houzhong put the basket on the corner of the room, and beckoned Guan Wen to sit down.After all, Guan Wen is the new son-in-law, and the Li family members are not familiar with him, and they seem a little unfamiliar with him.Li Xin brought him tea and wiped his sweat. Mrs. Zhang came over with a basin and said with a smile, "Sister, brother-in-law, hurry up and wash off, your head is sweating."

Li Xin thanked his sister-in-law with a smile, first twisted the handkerchief to Guan Wen, looked around and asked, "Where are Shanzi and Xiaodou?"

"Falling asleep. When you guys didn't wait, the little boy couldn't stand the sleepiness, so he fell asleep in a daze."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Li Xin and Guan Wen with a smile, and nodded secretly when she saw that the relationship between the newlyweds was very good.

Li Xin took the snacks in the back basket and handed them to Mrs. Zhang, and said with a smile: "Grandpa and father-in-law said that we don't know what to bring when we come back, these snacks are for the two children, and the sister-in-law and second younger siblings will also try it. "As he spoke, he wanted to rummage through the basket again, and Li Dalang stabilized the basket for her, "It's not easy to come here, and what to do with so many things is not too tiring."

While taking things out, Li Xin said, "It's all Ah Wen's wishes. Grandpa and father-in-law are afraid that parents will feel that they are missing."

One sentence coaxed Liu Shi and Li Houzhong's faces to shine, and they were very happy.Mrs. Liu was happy, and said, "Oh, how caring my in-laws are! Uncle, go back and tell your grandfather and father, let's thank them, don't do this in the future, you will get tired if you bring too many things."

Guan Wen hurriedly said "it should be", glanced at Li Xin from the corner of the eye, saw her blinking at him, and felt so soft in his heart.

The things were all prepared by Guan Wen, but he also took care of all the people in the Li family.Not to mention that Li Houzhong was satisfied, even Liu Shi, who always felt that her daughter married Guan Wen was a "low marriage", was also quite satisfied, and became enthusiastic about Guan Wen.

"I originally thought that you would leave early in the morning and arrive home at noon, why did you delay until now?" Li Dalang asked after seeing that his sister had finished giving the return ceremony, wiped his face and began to talk to his family.

Guan Wen and Li Xin looked at each other, and said, "I'm sorry, uncle, we planned to come out today before dawn, but... something happened to my family, which delayed the time. That's why..."

Li Dalang frowned, Li Erlang was more impatient, and opened his mouth to ask what happened, but was stopped by Li Dalang.Looking in the direction of Li Dalang's pouting mouth, he saw his sister shook her head almost invisibly at him.

If he wanted to ask, he choked immediately, but his curiosity couldn't be stopped.

"It's okay, we thought something happened to you on the way. It's mainly mother, nagging all morning, seeing that you didn't come, I was worried about this and that, and it made my ears callous."

Li Dalang revealed the matter with a smile, and Li Erlang agreed: "Mother likes to talk about my sister."

"Go, don't beat your mother." Liu smiled and cursed, slapped each of her two sons, and said to Li Xin: "Take my uncle to your room and rest for a while. After walking such a long distance, your feet must hurt. How about you?" He brought a basin of water that was soft."

Li Xin hurriedly agreed, and Guan Wen said, "Don't bother, mother-in-law."

"This is nothing troublesome, hurry up and let Xiner rub your shoulders."

Mrs. Liu dismissed Li Xin and his wife with a smile, kicked out her two sons, and drove Li Houzhong to weave bamboo, then whispered to her daughter-in-law Zhang, "What happened to the Guan family? Wen didn't say anything, and Xiner shook her head to prevent us from asking."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "There must be a reason for my sister not to let us ask, just ask my sister quietly in the future."

Mrs. Liu thought about it for the same reason, sighed and said: "Guan has a lot of family members, and several brothers and sisters live together. I am really worried that Xiner will not live well in the Guan family."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "My mother-in-law saw it too. My brother-in-law and my younger sister are doing well. I can't pretend this. I think my younger sister is doing well."

"I hope so." Mrs. Liu paused, but asked another topic: "Da Lang's cousin is here, why didn't you tell me?"

Yesterday, Mrs. Liu went to Mrs. Jiang's natal family, and talked with Mrs. Jiang about Mrs. Jiang's pregnancy for a whole day. When she came back at night, she felt that Mrs. Li Houzhong was a little evasive and hesitant to speak.While chatting with someone this morning, I accidentally learned that Li Houbo's second son, Li Yin, came to Li's house yesterday.

Hearing Mrs. Liu's question, Mrs. Zhang paused, and said a little helplessly, "Da Lang, please don't mention this to your mother-in-law."

"What are you going to keep from me?" Mrs. Liu felt displeased, "If I hadn't asked, would you still plan to keep your mouth shut or what? What's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhang said in a low voice: "It is said that grandma is getting old. I originally prepared a coffin for her in advance, but for some reason, grandma insisted on asking for a coffin made of golden nanmu. Uncle means that father-in-law is more skillful." , let father-in-law make a coffin for grandma, and uncle and third uncle will take care of the rest."

Liu's eyes widened when he heard that, "What? Your father-in-law agreed?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "At that time, father-in-law seemed to want to agree, but he didn't agree just like that. Brother Yin wanted father-in-law to give him an accurate word. Da Lang said at the time that the family affairs should be discussed and handled by everyone. The family members were not all present, and the matter could not be decided, so I asked Brother Yin to go back, and Brother Yin went back."

Only then did Liu feel relieved, but said displeasedly: "That's all said to be discussed with me, why didn't you tell me?"

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "I know that my sister will come back today. I'm afraid I will tell you, mother-in-law, you are not happy..."

Only then did Liu take a long breath, and cursed secretly: "It's a good plan, and it's a good idea!" Secretly told Zhang to tell Li Dalang not to deal with this matter.
