Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 4
Li Xin woke up early the next morning. He could hear the sound of ping-pong-pong in the yard outside. The Li family got up early and started another busy day.

Li Dalang and Li Erlang went down to the field with their hoes on their shoulders. Li Sanlang carried a cloth bag, and Mrs. Zhang was filling him with rice balls.

Li Xin put on his clothes and opened the door, feeling better. "Sister-in-law, third brother, what are you doing?"

"The third brother is going to the school, and he won't come back at noon. Give him more food, for fear that the food at the school will not be enough for him."

Mrs. Zhang quickly packed up her things and walked towards her. Seeing that she looked good, she was relieved, "Sister got up so early?"

"Ah, I won't be able to sleep when I wake up." Li Xin said with a smile, "Where are father and mother?"

"Mother is busy in the kitchen, and father is out on the town."

Li Ming came over and looked at Li Xin, "Sister, why don't you sleep a little longer? We're the ones yelling at you?"

"No, I slept too much." Li Xin looked at this younger brother who had almost grown up and was very emotional, "When did Ming'er start studying? I remember you were still a naughty bastard at that time. But now, I'm going to be a little scholar."

Li Xin teased him, Li Ming lowered his head slightly, "I only studied for a few years..."

In fact, the reason why Li Ming studied was because of Li Xin.Mrs. Liu was tricked by Grandma Sun into selling her daughter because she didn't know how to read, and suffered a great loss, so she felt that there should be someone who could read and write in the family, so as not to be bullied.So he became ruthless, even if he spent a lot of money, he must cultivate a scholar.The eldest son and the second son were both old, and the husband refused to accept him, so the younger son was okay. Moreover, Sanlang was a good-natured person with a quick and round mind, so he was sent to school.

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister, are you hungry? Hurry up and pack up, let's have breakfast."

Liu Shi and Jiang Shidan made Li Xin a custard, but they ate rough buns.Li Xin felt uncomfortable eating alone, and insisted on sharing some of the custard in the bowl, but Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stopped her, "This is specially for my sister's health."

"I don't have a delicate body. I don't feel comfortable eating alone. Sister-in-law, second sibling, mother, let's eat together."

After speaking, regardless of Liu's and others' dissuasion, he still divided out a lot of custard, took a bun and gnawed it up, took a bite of the bun, sucked a sip of custard, drank a sip of water, and ate breakfast.

To say that this food is really not good.The steamed buns are thick, the water is tasteless, and the only egg custard is not enough to eat, and it tastes much worse than the previous life.But the Li family is kind to Li Xin, and she would be punished if she ate alone.

After the meal, Li Xin helped Liu Shi and Jiang Shi wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen, and Zhang Shi tidied up as if he was about to go out.Li Xin asked her where she was going, and Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Go and pick up your nephew."

Li Dalang and Zhang Shicheng have been close for five years and have two sons.The eldest son, nicknamed Shanzi, is four years old this year, and the youngest son, nicknamed Xiaodou, is two years old this year.Because she was going to pick up Li Xin and pack up the belongings at home, Mrs. Zhang sent them back to her natal home for two days.Now that the dust has settled, it's time to get the baby back.

Li Xin is so excited!In her previous life, she liked children very much. One of her very close sisters is a kindergarten teacher. When meeting her, she especially liked to talk about child rearing.The more you listen, the more interested you are in your child.

People say that liking children is a woman's nature. As soon as Li Xin heard Zhang's words, she hurriedly asked her to go back to pick up the child. Zhang smiled and went out with a bag on her back.

Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "You don't know that your sister-in-law has two children, do you? It's because your sister-in-law is able to bear children, and both children are good-looking. It makes me happy to see it." Jiang said to the side of the pot, "You also Hold on tight, this stomach hasn't moved yet?"

Jiang's face turned red with embarrassment, and she couldn't say anything in front of her sister-in-law, so she said "no", then lowered her head, wishing she could plunge into the hot water.

Liu's expression was a little dissatisfied, thinking to herself, it's been four months since the second daughter-in-law entered the house, why hasn't her stomach moved...

Li Xin doesn't understand the twists and turns, but he also knows that in the countryside, one of the functions of a daughter-in-law is to carry on the family line.Seeing that Mrs. Liu was not very happy, she said with a smile: "That depends on fate. In fact, the more you force it, the more unsatisfactory you are. Mother, now the two little grandchildren are too busy for you. Don't rush the second sibling. As long as The second brother and the second younger brother and sister have a good relationship as husband and wife, and there will be grandchildren sooner or later."

What she said made Liu laugh from ear to ear, thinking, isn't it, there are two grandchildren already!
But the second daughter-in-law can't relax, "Even so, you still have to hurry up." Mrs. Liu said to Mrs. Jiang: "Shanzi and Xiaodou belong to the old family, and the second family doesn't believe it yet!"

Jiang nodded, poured out the pot of water, and said to Li Xin with a smile, "Is eldest sister tired? Go to the main room and rest for a while."

Li Xin didn't feel very tired physically, but he accepted her sympathy and walked slowly to the main room to rest.

At noon, Mrs. Jiang took the rice to the field for Dalang Erlang, who was busy, and ate there by the way. Only Mrs. Liu and Li Xin, mother and daughter, were left at home.After eating and drinking medicine, Li Xin was planning to find something to do, and Liu Shi talked to her while there was no one else at home.

"Girl, have you thought about the rules for the future?"

As soon as Li Xin heard it, she knew that Mrs. Liu was asking her about her plans for the future.In this era, for a woman, the best destination is to marry and have children, and then take care of her husband and raise her children.Although she repelled it in her heart, she just wouldn't resist at that point.Every era has its own rules, so she won't be the kind of early bird who breaks the rules.

But her situation is too special.Being sold in a kiln, she was neither a widow nor a divorced woman, let alone a young girl. Speaking of which, her status and reputation were very low.If Mrs. Liu wanted to ask her if she wanted to get married, she could have answered her firmly, "No!"

But it is not so realistic for her to stay in the Li family for a lifetime.

It's okay for the old couple of the Liu family to be here. Parents who love their daughter are willing to raise their daughter for the rest of their lives. As long as she doesn't cause trouble or be lazy, I believe that parents will not leave her alone.But the old couple of the Liu family will leave one day. Once they go, the three brothers will definitely separate.At that time, her whereabouts will be called difficult arrangements.

Li Xin herself is not a person who is willing to trouble others.At first, she thought that she would go to see Hades again soon after time travel, but after listening to what the doctor said, she could recover from her illness now.She has hands and feet. When she is healthy, she can do housework and work. She doesn't eat for nothing, and she can support herself with her hands.

But at my age, I'm still staying at my parents' house, so it's always not good to talk about it.

Of course, it's even harder to get married.

So Li Xin lowered his head and didn't answer Mrs. Liu's words.Mrs. Liu was in a hurry, for fear that her daughter would have nothing to love in the future. After all, after all those things, she had to face other people's pointing fingers, and she must feel uncomfortable.Holding her hand, Mrs. Liu said eagerly: "Girl, if you have anything on your mind, you must tell your mother! Your mother can afford you, even if she can support you for the rest of your life. But your daughter has to marry ..."

The more he didn't think about anything, the more Li Xin didn't want to hear Liu's mention of this matter. Seeing that her mother's voice was shrill, she said helplessly, "Mother, who would marry someone like me...but anyone who pays attention to reputation and innocence People, I would rather marry a widow than be willing to have someone like me."

"How...how could it be!" Liu's heart sank even more, knowing that the old man was not lying last night, but she just refused to believe it, "Just wait, mother will definitely help you find a good relationship!"

Li Xin sighed and did not stop her mother.Anyway, after hitting a wall, her mother will know that this kind of thing is not so easy.

Women who have entered the profession since ancient times want to be good, and the only way is to be a concubine.Those who had a better evening scene, like that mother Yan, retired behind the scenes and became the leader, taking care of a prostitute in Yiyuan.It's almost a fate to be reduced to a woman who burns fire.What's more, those who have escaped into Buddhism may also be harassed by disciples in the pure place of Buddhism.

In short, the word "congliang" is difficult.
