Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 572 Making a living.
On the second day, Li Xin took Yang'er back to Lijiacun. Guan Wu patted his chest and said to Guan Wen and Li Xin, "Brother and sister-in-law, go and do your own work. Brother Feng and I are watching what's going on here!"

Guan Wen nodded with a smile, and boasted generously: "Second brother is becoming more and more independent. He really is a father, and he is becoming more and more stable in his actions."

Guan Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, and Xing'er smiled and said, "It's thanks to my elder brother and sister-in-law for giving him a chance, otherwise he would be just a poor boy in the village right now."

Guan Wu laughed and said yes repeatedly.

Guan Wen stepped onto Hong Huan, leaned over and said to Li Xin, "Let's rest at your mother's house tonight. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon to pick you up at Li's Village."

Li Xin smiled and nodded, "Success, be careful on the road."

"You too."

Li Xin took Yang'er to Lijia Village in a donkey cart, and said to Yang'er on the way: "When you get to grandma's house, don't just hang around with your brother Shanzi."

Yang'er was puzzled: "Why? Brother Shanzi is fine."

Li Xin supported his forehead, thought for a while, and said, "You are all students now, you can't just focus on having fun, you still have to learn from each other. Do you understand?"

Yang'er said "Oh", nodded and said, "Yang'er knows."

Li Xin heaved a sigh of relief.

She has some understanding of her nephew's temperament, and she faintly feels that she is a bit similar to her uncle's second cousin, stern and ruthless.

I don't know if this character is good or bad.

When he arrived at Li's house, Li Houzhong welcomed his daughter in very happily, poured water for Li Xin courteously, and said with a smile: "My daughter is back? Are you tired from the journey? Let's take a rest first."

Li Xin looked at Li Houzhong inexplicably, and asked after a while: "Father, what's wrong with you at home?" Why are you so enthusiastic?

Li Houzhong waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, dad is happy."

Li Houzhong rubbed his palms, reached out and patted Yang'er's head and said, "Yang'er is here too."

"Hello grandpa."

Yang'er saluted Li Houzhong politely, and stood beside Li Xin gracefully.

Li Houzhong said happily: "As expected of a kid who went to school, he just needs to be polite."

As he spoke, his expression drooped: "That boy Shanzi is not as cute as Yang'er."

Yang'er's eyes lit up.

When I came here, I didn't see Brother Shanzi. He wanted to ask, but it was not easy to intervene.Now that Grandpa mentioned Brother Shanzi, he can ask!

"Grandpa, where is Brother Shanzi?"

Li Houzhong smiled and said, "Your Brother Shanzi went out with your eldest uncle."

Yang'er let out a long cry in disappointment.

Li Xin smiled and said with a sigh of relief: "Father, where are the rest of the family?"

"Your second brother and your second brother and sister went back to your second brother's and sister's natal home yesterday, and I think they will be back in time for lunch. The bearer is on the road ahead, and your sister-in-law is going to buy some needlework."

"Then where are the mother and Ge'er?"

"I took her out to bask in the sun."

Li Houzhong was happy, and said: "Your mother is holding your sister to show off, your sister's face is wide open, she is so good, your mother looks like a baby."

Li Xin smiled, looked around and asked, "Brother took Shanzi out, where is Xiaodou?"

"Xiaodou went to play by himself." Li Houzhong also looked around: "I didn't see anyone else."

Li Xin nodded and said to Yang'er: "Go and find your brother Xiaodou, we will have lunch later."

Yang'er hurriedly agreed, and ran out.

Li Houzhong laughed: "These boys have very strong legs and feet, and they can run around happily."

After chatting with Li Houzhong for a while, Li Xin went to work in the kitchen.After a while, Mrs. Liu came back with Li Ge in her arms.

I was very happy to see Li Xin and Mrs. Liu; "Why did you come here today?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "Come out to do some errands, just stay at my mother's house for one night."

Li Xin took Li Ge from Mrs. Liu's arms, looked at her carefully, and felt that she was a good-looking girl.Although she is still a milk baby, her eyebrows are eyebrows and eyes are eyes, and she is a beauty embryo at a glance.

Mrs. Liu said cheerfully: "This girl looks like her sister, so at first glance she looks like two sisters, printed from the same mold."

Li Houzhong laughed and said: "In the future, my daughter will be a young mistress, wearing gold and silver."

Li Xin smiled, seeing that Li Ge was also grinning, not acknowledging his identity at all, she was even more happy, and kissed Li Ge, which made Li Ge giggle.

Li Houzhong took Li Ge to hug and coax Li Xin, and Li Xin helped Mrs. Liu make lunch.

While chatting, we talked about Li Erlang.

Mrs. Liu sighed, and said to Li Xin in a low voice: "Your elder brother is promising now. The head of a village bought two acres of land by himself some time ago. Although the two sons are naughty, they are successors at least. Someone, your sister-in-law’s natal family is not weak, and the couple live happily. Your third brother is also promising. He passed the examination of scholar and went out to study with his husband. Although there is no news at the moment, I always feel that he After going out, I have broadened my knowledge. In the future, those who rely on raising people to become a scholar also have something to look forward to. It is your second brother... hey."

Li Xin hurriedly said: "Mother, what's wrong with the second brother?"

"Comparing the three brothers, can he feel better? Brother and younger brother live better than him, and his daughter-in-law's family is poor, and the next one has only a daughter. It's okay to say that the time is short, but it is long. Your second brother and younger sister must feel uncomfortable, and they will feel that they are depending on others at home."

Li Xin was silent.

When Liu Shi said this, she really felt that it was uncomfortable for her second brother to be caught in the middle.

"Fortunately, your second brother and sister are not the ones who like to compare themselves everywhere. If you want to meet that vicious woman who likes to compare with others, you will call your second brother a worthless." Liu raised her head and looked at Li Xin: "Mom like this with you Said, I just want to ask if you have any ideas? Your second brother only has some strength, how much income can he earn by doing hard work... Mother just thought, help him find a living, not to mention better than his elder brother, at least let him I can stand upright and walk forward with my head held high.”

Li Xin said with a smile: "People say that when a child is born at a hundred years old, he will worry about ninety-nine years. Mother has thought about it for my brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Liu sighed: "That's something that can't be helped. Your three brothers are all good, and mother never worried about it. It's just that the children have grown up and have their own small families. The relationship is still there, but There is no other way to distribute more to my daughter-in-law and children. Your third brother is not yet married, and your younger sister is still so young. It is too early to say that our family is divided. If you want to stay at home for ten or eight years, what can you do if you don't think about your brothers and sisters? When the little girl grows up, your father and I will also grow old, so she will have to rely on her brothers and sisters in the future? "

Liu pointed to Li Houzhong who was hugging Li Ge and Wangcai outside, and sighed again.

"Look, when your second brother and sister come back, your second brother and sister's eyes will definitely be red again. Ever since your elder brother became the village head and our family built a new house, your second brother and sister's family members have been seeing each other from time to time. Ask your daughter and son-in-law to go back. Several times your second sibling came back crying, presumably the natal family reached out and asked her for money."

Li Xin was stunned: "It's impossible... I met the second brother and sister's mother when the second brother and sister gave birth to Jiuer. Aunt Jiang couldn't be like this?"

"Who said it was your second younger sibling's mother?" Liu said, "It's your second younger sibling's natal sister-in-law, it's not a cheap thing."

Mrs. Liu was very disdainful of Mrs. Jiang's natal sister-in-law, but she didn't say much, she just said: "Help your mother think about it. Mother has no prejudice against your second younger brother and sister. Mother also hopes that your second brother and their husband and wife will be happy. In-laws Mother doesn't want to leave the nasty things over there."

Li Xin thought for a while, and said, "What does the second brother mean? Has mother asked the second brother?"

"I asked." Mrs. Liu said, "Your second brother said that if he had the opportunity to make a living, he would be willing to do it. After all, if your elder brother bought the field and asked your second brother to help with it, your second brother would take Money is like a long-term laborer who helps your elder brother farm the land, and your second brother will feel uncomfortable. If he doesn't say anything, the mother will feel distressed."

Li Xin nodded and said, "I'll help my mother think about it."

"Ai."

Not long after, Li Dalang and others came back one after another. The second brother and sister Jiang really did what Liu said, with red eyes, obviously crying.

Everyone was very happy to see Li Xin coming. As soon as Shanzi came back, he got mixed up with Yang'er. Xiaodou obediently moved to Zhang's side and sat quietly, more shy than the little girl.

Li Xin likes a kid like Xiaodou, Shanzi is so good at tossing around, he exhausted her several times, he is simply a little devil in the world.In comparison, the well-behaved and obedient Xiaodou looks much cuter.

After eating, Li Xin put aside his busy question about flower farmers and planting, and asked Li Erlang to come over and ask him what his plans were.

Li Erlang sighed, and said: "Now the family situation is much better than before, with enough food and warm clothes, it stands to reason that there should be nothing to worry about. It's just that people always compare me with my elder brother and third younger brother, I listen. I was also not very comfortable. Yesterday when I went back to my daughter-in-law’s natal home, her sister-in-law said some sour things again, saying that our family has money and doesn’t know how to help the in-laws.”

Li Xin said softly: "What are your plans?"

Li Erlang took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I want to open a shop in the town."

Li Xin was surprised: "Why would you think of going to the town to open a shop?"

Li Erlang said: "When everyone in the village sees me, they say it's the village chief's brother or something...I don't want to hear it."

Li Xin nodded knowingly, thought for a while, and said, "It's not difficult to open a shop in the town. You have to find a dentist and ask someone where there is a shop for rent and how much the rent is. But you have to think about what you want first." what kind of business."

Li Erlang said: "I want to open a restaurant."

Li Erlang smiled and said, "My wife has learned [-]% of the dishes that my sister cooked when she was at home. It shouldn't be a big problem to open a restaurant."

Li Xin thought for a while, and said, "After all, we need manpower to open a restaurant. I'm afraid the second sibling alone can't do it."

Li Erlang was immediately discouraged: "Then I don't know what to do... I'm just moving tables and chairs..."

Li Xin smiled and said, "But there is still a way."

"What method?" Li Erlang asked eagerly.

Li Xin said: "Why don't we just start the big pot rice and Mala Tang business."
