Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 349 The Li Family

Li Xin looked at Li Ming, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was with his younger brother.

Although he was born in a poor peasant family, but because he has read the book, he looks quite sensible and sensible.But scholars do not have the noble spirit of scholars. They seem very easy-going, and they will help parents, brothers and sisters-in-law at home, and have not developed an arrogant personality.

It was also because she carried her on her back since she was a child and watched him grow from a white and tender baby to such a tall young man now, Li Xin had a feeling of "I have a son in my family".

Li Ming hugged Yang'er on his lap, teased him a few words, and said to Li Xin and Guan Wen just now: "Mr. Mixed feelings."

Li Xin refilled tea for Li Dalang and Li Sanlang. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Gu is wise and open-minded. It's your luck to study under him."

Li Ming nodded, and said with a smile: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. The ancients are sorry for me. After walking this way, I finally learned a lot of things that can't be learned in books. Working behind closed doors, going out may not be the same path. , which is inappropriate after all.”

"Ming'er, you can make up your own mind, and listen to Mr. Gu's words in school." Li Xin laughed and said, "If you need pens, ink, paper and inkstones, just ask your family. You scholars, I'm afraid you like to make them." Collect some books. If you want to read, just pick and buy what is good for you. Reading more books is also useful, and walking around more is also useful.”

"You don't need to ask me, as long as I want to buy something, my parents, elder brother and second brother will never refuse." After all, Li Ming still has a child's heart, and no matter how mature he is, he still has a shy boy in his heart: "At home I don't do anything, I don't produce anything, and it's me who spends the most money..."

Li Dalang reached out and patted Li Sanlang on the head, he said with a smile: "If you are a fool, the family will not pay for you. Our family's scholar will try to test for talent this year."

Li Dalang laughed twice and said: "Just say you are short of money. Now the family is rich, with cows and pigs. My mother recently asked if I should renovate the house..."

As he spoke, Li Dalang glanced at Li Xin.

Before Li Xin left, she left money for Mrs. Liu. She didn't know if Mrs. Liu would use it, but what she said fell into Mrs. Liu's heart.

The Li family's house was the old house that Li Houzhong was assigned to when he separated.Mrs. Liu has long wanted to build a spacious and bright house, but because the Li family has always lived a narrow life, she can only put this thought in the bottom of her heart.

Now that I have surplus money in hand, the three sons are all promising, and the only daughter has her own savings, and the selling is only a few taels. Let her buy some good clothes and delicious things, and Liu's heart will naturally blossom. .In addition, the idea of ​​building a big house came up like this.

Mrs. Liu said to Li Dalang: "Our family is not the same as before. You are the village head now. Although you have not officially taken office, it is still a matter of iron and steel. Where is your status, how can you live in the dilapidated village of the past? The house? Let’s talk about your third brother, who is going to be a scholar in the future. My mother is afraid that the eaves of this house will be too low, and he won’t be able to get out of his head. Let’s build the house higher. My mother will feel comfortable and spacious. A bright room is also good for your third brother's development."

Mrs. Liu is a person who can't sit still. After thinking about this, she couldn't wait to invite her family to discuss it.

Li Houzhong is old-fashioned. He only said that the house is good, and there is no need to build a new house, which caused Liu's stare: "My daughter asked me to repair the house, and your son is still nesting in this low and short house now that he is promising. What do you say in the house? If you like it, you can live there."

Li Houzhong didn't dare to say anything.

Li Dalang and Mrs. Zhang are both happy to have a new house. There are not many houses at home. Seeing that Shanzi and Xiaodou are getting older, and Mrs. Jiang is about to give birth, they have to make room for the next generation. Bar?So the couple nodded in agreement.

Li Erlang didn't say anything, he didn't have much opinion on what his elder brother said.The Jiang family naturally listened to Li Erlang.

The whole family agreed, and only Li Sanlang, who was the last one who went out and did not return, directly made the decision for Li Ming, saying: "Sanlang has always listened to his sister, and he must have no objection to her sister's request to repair the house. "

Li Dalang said to Li Xin with a smile: "Mother is in a hurry to find someone to discuss it right now? Just say start construction soon, and want to live in a spacious and bright new house before the end of the year."

Guan Wen immediately asked: "Is there a shortage of staff at home? If there is a shortage of staff, I can also help."

"Brother Wen, don't be in a hurry. We are still in the preparation stage and construction has not yet started." Li Dalang sighed, "There are still some things that have not been discussed, so I'm stuck there. Riding a horse can only be done after we have discussed it." .”

"What's the matter?" Li Xin asked with a frown.

It stands to reason that the matter of their family renovating the house is only their family's business, and there is no need for her uncle and third uncle to agree, so why should they discuss it?Isn't everything discussed?
Li Dalang and Li Ming looked at each other, Li Dalang coughed and said, "Isn't it Grandma..."

Li Xin frowned, old lady?
"Grandma is sometimes sober and sometimes not sober. One day, my father and mother went to the uncle's house to give tribute to grandma. The uncle asked my father why our family has been doing a lot of things recently, and my father directly said that we want to build a new house. Unexpectedly, Grandma happened to be sober that day, and she immediately yelled that Dad forgot about the ancestors, and that parents are not allowed to fiddle with the land."

Li Xin couldn't help snorting.

She didn't have any impressions of her grandma, she couldn't say she liked her, nor could she say she hated her.Although she is very eccentric, big and small, but she doesn't like her father who is caught in the middle, but fortunately, she has never been so mean to herself and her brothers since she was a child. I never think about them when I eat and drink well, and when it's the turn of the grandchildren to do things, I can order them to do things, that's all.

The old lady is getting old, and she can't afford to be angry with an old man.

Li Xin said: "It's not easy to solve? Can't it be enough to let parents move to another house?"

"That's not okay..." Li Dalang shook his head and said, "Grandma said, you are not allowed to abandon the house and live in another place, because you will lose the earth spirit given by your ancestors. Let parents live in that house."

Li Dalang smiled bitterly: "That day, my mother almost got into a fight with grandma, but it was because grandma herself became confused again later, and mother was dragged by your sister-in-law again, that's why there was no trouble."

"Mother has endured Grandma for too long." Li Xin sighed and said, "Then what are parents planning now?"

"Father is still like that. He keeps silent, and he will be like that all his life." Li Dalang shook his head slightly: "As for mother, she is gearing up, as if she must make things happen. The person who knows how to do masonry has asked about the price and the construction period, and she has been busy asking people about this and that during this time, and she is very serious."

"Does the mother want to find another place to build a house, or just flip the old house on the original land and build a new one?"

"Mother said she's used to living there, and she doesn't want to move." Li Dalang said, "Mother saw that the terrain is good, and it's close to the fields. In addition, you may not be able to find a good place, and you have to do other things. Mother finds it troublesome to get a land deed or something."

"Well, I think so too." Li Xin said: "After deciding on that place, others don't have to turn around when looking for someone in the future."

Li Ming didn't say much all the time, now he asked a little hesitantly: "I heard what mother means, to build a big house. Does our family have so much extra money?"

Li Dalang laughed, and said: "Sanlang, don't worry about money. Mother always knows how to plan carefully. Since she said that she wants to build a house, she must have already estimated how much money will be spent. She must have saved enough money." of."

Li Ming nodded slightly, and said: "I'm afraid that my mother will spend all her money regardless of everything. Speaking of which, the old couple only live in the same house, and they are more concerned about us three brothers. Spending money from parents , I always feel guilty."

Li Dalang laughed and said, "How do you know that the eldest brother and the second brother didn't give mother any money?" Li Dalang touched his head and said, "Sanlang is smart, but he is still young. You don't need your parents to tell you, the elder brother and the second brother will give your parents some money." of."

"Then I..."

"You are still young." Li Dalang smiled and said: "Your money, my mother has kept it for you."

Li Ming couldn't believe it: "Brother, you are bluffing me."

"Why am I bluffing you." Li Dalang looked at Li Xin with a smile: "Otherwise, you can ask your sister."

Li Xin nodded with a smile: "Mother has an account in her heart. Mother will keep all your money for you. I am afraid that you will not be young enough to spend." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "I guess it will be three or two years later. Mother will give you the money."

Li Dalang said with a smile: "Your second brother and I came here like this. I didn't say it before, because I didn't want you to know that I was rich, so I just thought about how to spend it. Now your age is bullish, and your heart can be settled. , Brother, this is also a slip of the tongue, you can’t tell mother that you know about it when you go back, mother will tear my mouth.”

"Brother, don't be so talkative, you are not a child anymore, mother would tear your mouth apart."

Li Xin scolded with a smile, and said, "Ming'er, don't feel any pressure in your heart, your parents are just looking forward to your well-being, and if your spending money is justified, your parents will definitely not stop you."

Li Xin paused and said: "I don't want to mention the family matters. Mother needs to start a house. Big brother, you and second brother should help. As for grandma..."

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Let uncle and aunt persuade you. If you can't persuade me, grandma is sober and not sober anyway, so don't ask her in front of her. Let parents stop hanging around in front of grandma. .”

Li Dalang nodded, and quietly winked at Li Xin.Li Xin understood and asked Guan Wen to see what vegetables could be picked in the vegetable field.
