Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 5 Family Reunion
In the afternoon, Second Master Li came back from the town with a ginseng whisker wrapped in a small cloth scarf in his arms.Mrs. Liu took it over and asked him how much money he had spent, but Li Houzhong stuttered before answering her, "One or two and a half dollars. I took out all the money hidden at the bottom of the wall, and did not touch the money given by my daughter."

Hearing that Liu Shi had a toothache, he squeezed his arm hard, and went to fix this not-so-thick ginseng whisker like a baby.

Li Dalang and Li Erlang also came back with hoes on their shoulders. Li Dalang wiped his sweat and complained: "When will it rain today? If this continues, we have to go to the river to irrigate the fields. It will take a lot of work."

Li Erlang scolded: "The Yang family cut off all the water to their fields, and didn't care about the life and death of us people. Curse their family's crops!"

There is a river passing through Lijia Village. Generally speaking, as God is beautiful, rain alone is enough for irrigation and other things.But in the dry season, we still have to rely on this river.The mother of the Yang family is a villager in Lijia Village, but the entire Yang family is an outsider in Lijia Village. They have a lot of money and wealth. They bought more than [-] mu of land in Lijia Village and hired long-term labor to help them take care of it. They can be regarded as the number one in Lijia Village. the landlord.

The river has always been the default public river for the people of Lijia Village. Sometimes the crops do not have enough water to drink from the river. Villagers whose fields are next to each other are willing to dig ditches to let the water pass, and they can basically take care of the people with fields.But since the Yang family came, because his field was closer to the river, they filled up the ditches passing through his field, which made other villagers in Lijia Village hate it.

Everyone went to Lizheng's place and said that Lizheng also came forward to negotiate with the Yang family, but they blocked Lizheng by saying "the location is not good, no one else's fault". After all, the rules and laws did not say that in such a situation The Yang family must let the water go.The Yang family also said that digging the ditch and ruining the land would make them grow less food.It's true that the richer you are, the more penny you get.

Li Xin listened quietly, knowing that he couldn't get in the way.Although she lived in the countryside when she was a child, she did good housework, but she didn't know much about farming.

The three of Li's father and son were talking, and Mrs. Zhang came back with the child.

Shanzi walked alone, Xiaodou was held in Zhang's arms, and he opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Xin who came up to him.Shanzi looked naive, and Xiaodou was spitting out bubbles. Seeing Li Xin looking at him, he stuffed his fingers into his mouth and sucked, and called Zhang in confusion, "Mom."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and put down her small bag, knelt down, held one in each hand, and introduced to them, "This is the aunt my mother told you about. Call someone quickly."

Li Xin took a step forward and patted Shanzi's head, then Xiaodou's head, and was amused by the two tiger-headed children, "I'm aunt, how are you?"

Shan Zi blinked, and then timidly called "Gu".When Xiaodou saw his elder brother calling someone, he also foolishly called "Gu".

When Li Xin came back, he didn't see that there was a child at home, so he ignored it, thinking that there was no child in the family, so he divided up his precious private house.In the middle of the day, when I learned that Mrs. Zhang was going to pick up the child, I realized that my eldest brother and sister-in-law already had a child. I only prepared the gadgets in the afternoon, which happened to come in handy at this time.

Reaching out from his bosom, he took out two silver screws and handed them to the two children respectively, and said with a smile: "Auntie gave you a meeting gift, buy some snacks or something to eat." Give it to my mother."

Shanzi nodded, cheerfully put the silver screw carefully in his pocket.Xiaodou followed his elder brother to draw gourds in the same way.

Li Xin took out two balls of thread dolls, which she made in the afternoon, wrapped with bamboo strips and thread, not worth much, but considered a rare thing.Distributed the two ball dolls to the little guy, and helped Shanzi tie them around his waist, and asked him with a smile, "Isn't it pretty?"

"It's pretty." Shanzi said in a childish voice.Li Xin teased him again, "Call me again."

"aunt."

"Auntie..." Xiaodou pitifully called out to his elder brother, "I, I want to..."

Li Xin tied it on him with a smile, "Do you like Xiaodou?"

"Well, I like it."

Xiaodou childishly stroked the doll's head, and grinned silly at the side of his waist.Mrs. Zhang picked him up and patted his brother's head, "Go into the house quickly, we will have dinner when third uncle comes back."

Then he said to Li Xin: "How can you love children like this."

"My nephew."

Li Xin just smiled, and looked at the two little guys with his eyes fixed on the ground.Mrs. Zhang sighed inwardly when she saw it in her eyes.

I heard that places like that will force drugs to prevent women from getting pregnant.My sister stayed there for so long, taking that kind of medicine for a long time, will it break down her body, and even make it difficult to have children?

Not long after, Li Sanlang also came back, the whole family reunited, and had a nice dinner together.

This can be regarded as a real reunion dinner, and all ten members of the family are on the table.Mrs. Zhang hugged Shanzi, while Li Xin insisted on hugging Xiaodou, seeing the baby in her arms pink and tender, with indescribable joy in her heart.

Mrs. Liu specially prepared a table of delicious food, and killed an old hen at home to make soup. Li Houzhong specially bought fresh fatty pork from the town, and Mrs. Liu cooked a bowl of braised pork.Fried eggs were sprinkled with chopped green onion, and the three main dishes were all big meat. The last time the Li family ate so much was Jiang's. It was four months ago. I just feel that today's dinner makes people just want to drool.

Li Xin couldn't bear to eat like this.Not to mention nutrition, she couldn't stop talking just by looking at the oil.

Mrs. Liu greeted everyone to eat, and Li Xin took the chopsticks to pick up only green vegetables, and ate them with brown rice with great relish.Li Houzhong specially picked up chicken legs for her. Li Xin frowned after taking it, but seeing Li Houzhong looking at her expectantly, he forced himself to eat it.

Li Dalang and Li Erlang worked in the fields for a whole day, and they were gasping for breath. Seeing that the girl didn't eat braised pork, they thought it was because they were enjoying their meal and didn't want to argue with them, so they stopped their chopsticks for her.

"No, big brother, second brother, I don't like meat...it's too tired, my stomach feels bad. Eat it." Li Xin put it back to them, and then to other people on the table, especially Two daughter-in-laws who didn't move their chopsticks very much said, "Sister-in-law, second brother and sister, you can eat. I'll just drink some chicken soup. The doctor should have told me to eat something lighter. Don't waste it. If there is too much left over, let it sit for a long time. It tastes better." But it's not good."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jiang quickly accepted it with a smile. Only now did Mrs. Liu believe that she didn't eat meat because the doctor told her to, instead of saving it for the rest of the family, so she scooped up a bowl of chicken soup and watched her drink it.

Shan Zi looked at the other chicken leg in the stewed chicken anxiously. Li Xin saw it, put it in his bowl and asked him with a smile: "Shan Zi, you are an older brother, and my younger brother also wants to eat it, what should I do?"

Shan Zi licked his mouth, hesitated for a long time before clenched his small fist, as if making up his mind, "Then give it to my brother!"

Xiaodou looked at this and that, but couldn't figure out the situation.The chopsticks of the whole family slowly stopped.Li Xin nodded to him encouragingly and praised, "Shanzi is a good brother, even the big brother can't eat it, so you can share some with him. Brothers should love each other, you know?"

Shan Zi nodded with a half understanding.The old hen meat was stewed long enough that it was easy to skim off some of the meat from the drumsticks.Li Xin fed Xiaodou very carefully, and coaxed him to drink half a bowl of chicken soup. Seeing that his belly was round, he let him off the table and let him walk around to digest food.

After dinner, it was already dark.It was very cool in the evening in the early summer season. The family moved stools and sat in the yard, Xiaodou leaned obediently in Li Xin's arms, and his little head nodded.Listening to the gossip of the family members, Li Xin only felt that the current life was very happy.

Except for the absence of cars, airplanes, computers and televisions, the relationship between people is no worse than it was then.She lived a fast-paced life in her previous life, but now God told her to take a good rest.The warm country life is also good.
