Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 6: The Rich Is Not Kind
The Li family is very busy, Li Dalang and Li Erlang are busy with the field, the crops are short of water, even if they have no choice but to fetch water from the river to irrigate the field.At this time, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jiang can also support half of the labor force. The Li brothers will do the work of carrying water, and they will pay for the work of watering the ground.

Li Sanlang is still studying in school.He started late, and only started school when he was seven years old. Although he was smart, he didn't have a solid foundation.The master in the school is very optimistic about him. At the age of 12, he can already go to the exam for children. Li Sanlang also works harder, thinking that at least he will come back from the exam to be a scholar. Not to mention exempting him from taxes, he can be promoted. The status of the Li family, if the elder sister wants to talk about marriage, it will be a good thing for her.

The family's housework was all on Mrs. Liu's shoulders. Although Li Houzhong didn't leave a hand behind when he gambled that year, it still hurt his body.When the farming is busy, I can only watch from the sidelines. Seeing that my sons and daughters-in-law are working hard these days, they are not idle, so Dalang cuts some bamboo and carries them home to weave some household dustpans, baskets, and baskets. If there is a surplus, it is also an income for the family to take it out and sell it when going to the market.

So the whole family counted, and the one with the most leisure time was Li Xin who was recuperating from illness.

She said it was recuperating, but she actually felt that her body was much better.She doesn't want to be an idler, but Liu Shi treats her like a piece of paper, and doesn't want her to go to the farm, so she stays at home to rest, eats and drinks as closely as possible, and doesn't let her be busy.The medicine is always given to her when it is decocted and warm, and she will be given a candied fruit after drinking the medicine.

Candied fruit is usually not available in the Li family, and this is what Li Houzhong bought on a whim when he went to the town to buy ginseng whiskers last time.Thinking of the only daughter who wanted to eat candy when he was a child, he was never used to it, Li Houzhong felt guilty in his heart, and bought it to make up for her.In the end, Li Xin gave all these candied fruit to the two little ones at home. Except for the first day after she ate one and saw Shanzi's watery eyes, she never ate it again.

Shanzi and Xiaodou were well-educated by their elder brothers and sisters-in-law, and they would not cry because they didn't eat good food at a young age.Li Xin gave them the candied fruit to eat, Shanzi always took the sweet dried fruit shyly, lowered his head slightly, and said "thank you" to her embarrassedly, Xiaodou would always look at his brother's performance and stick to it. Like to draw a gourd.The cuteness of these two brothers always makes Li Xin extremely happy.

So Li Xin became their nanny. When Li Houzhong was busy weaving bamboo and Liu was busy feeding chickens and pigs and doing housework, she took the two little ones with them.In a few days, the little guy will get to know her well, always "aunt" long "aunt" behind her.

According to modern standards, Shanzi is old enough to go to kindergarten.Li Xin intentionally enlightened him, taught him to count, from one, two, three, four to ten, and taught him to read by scratching on the muddy ground with a branch.Shanzi is also sensible, excited to learn from him, while Xiaodou babbled along, even though the little guy didn't know what his aunt and brother were doing.

The days were very ordinary, and finally the long-awaited rain came down by Li Dalang and Li Erlang, and they didn't have to go to the ground to work.

Sitting in the main room, Dalang and Erlang brothers watched the rain pattering down outside the yard. Li Erlang said: "So what if we don't give us water, God still gave us rainwater after all. They are so rich and heartless, let's see how their Yang family can be proud." When will it be!"

"I heard that some relatives of the Yang family are officials in the capital, so they are arrogant."

"Even the emperor still has poor relatives, the Yang family is a bird's egg!" Li Erlang spat, seeing his sister coming in with a big bowl of tea, he couldn't help but shut up.

"What are you talking about? Don't say anything when I come in." Li Xin put down the big bowl with a smile, and Shan Zi who came in later held two small porcelain bowls.Li Xin patted his head and praised him, Shan Zi narrowed his eyes and laughed.

Poured a bowl of tea for the two brothers, Li Xin saw Li Erlang's embarrassing face, and laughed and scolded: "Come on, I didn't hear what you said just now when my sister is so big, it's not good to swear now Hit you again."

"sister……"

Li Erlang was very embarrassed, his eldest nephew was still in front of him!
Li Xin picked up the mountain, and Li Dalang wanted to take over, but Li Xin refused, "The mountain is not heavy, so I can hold it. Brother, the Yang family you mentioned just now is the Yang family that cut off the ditch?"

"Isn't that the turtle's house!"

Li Erlang became angry when he mentioned the Yang family, and he didn't shy away from his sister, cursing: "With two bad money in the family, they did a lot of immoral things. Who in the village doesn't scold them? Everyone Everyone is cursing that their family will be ruined and their children and grandchildren will be wiped out!"

Li Xin frowned and persuaded: "They just didn't allow us to get water conveniently, so there's no need to be so angry. Now that it's raining and the crops are not short of water, don't bother scolding the Yang family anymore. More lines If you are unrighteous, you will kill yourself, and the Yang family will have retribution."

Li Dalang also said: "Your elder sister is right, after all the Yang family has some influence, we can't afford to provoke them and we can't provoke them, if we meet people from their family, we just need to hide and walk away."

Li Xin, the richest householder in Lijia Village, has no impressions. If they behave like this in the long run, they will definitely lose their popularity in Lijia Village. 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, they have done a great job. After the feng shui turns out of their home, the life of the Yang family in Lijia Village will definitely be very difficult.

The Li family has been busy for nearly half a month and finally had a chance to take a break. Li Xin helped Mrs. Liu cook a large table of dishes to reward the men in the family. Mrs. Zhang made her feel a lot easier because Li Xin helped her take care of her two children. Complimented her during the meal.Jiang looked enviously at Xiaodou who was obediently in Li Xin's arms, thinking to himself, when can I give Erlang a baby...

The vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard are growing very well, and Mrs. Liu has to visit it several times a day.Hearing Li Xin said that she likes to eat fresh vegetables, she would pick a handful or two, or stir-fry or make soup for her to eat.

By the time of summer, Li Xin's weakness had completely healed.Meng Langzhong came for a follow-up visit, nodded and said: "Your body is much better, and it will be fine if you don't get too tired in the future. You should continue to take the medicine for a month or two. The medicine is just a tonic, and it will help you if you take more time." Solid Yuan."

Li Xin thanked Meng Langzhong with a smile, Mrs. Liu sent him out, and stopped him to hide and talk.

"Her uncle, look..."

Meng Langzhong was carrying a medicine box, which Li Houzhong specially made out of bamboo and gave it to him a few days ago to express his gratitude. "Second sister-in-law Li, what's the matter? Second brother Li has already paid me the consultation fee."

"No, I want to ask that..." Mrs. Liu stammered, "My Xiner... can, why not?"

"What?"

"Hi! That's it..." Mrs. Liu approached Meng Langzhong, "Can you marry...have a baby?"

Meng Langzhong froze for a moment, stroked the short beard on his chin and fell silent.Mrs. Liu was very anxious, "Her uncle, Xiner can be regarded as your niece, and you have nothing to say about your seniority, so tell me! Did Xiner stay in that kind of place for five years? What's the matter, we all know that she is definitely not a girl with yellow flowers. But Xiner can't just live like this for the rest of her life. I think I have to find a home for her. Xiner is sensible and well-behaved, has a good temper, and is also good at housework , there is such a past..."

"Sister-in-law Li, it's... hard to say..."

"Can you tell me something?" Liu looked at him eagerly, "Does she have... that kind of disease?"

Meng Langzhong understood that what Mrs. Liu was talking about was women's internal problems, and generally those who had stayed in that place had some of them to some extent, but Sister Xin's complexion was ruddy and she was in good spirits, which was different from those women.Meng Langzhong shook his head and said decisively: "Sister Xin doesn't have this disease."

"That is to say, you can have sex with men?"

Meng Langzhong was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded.

"What about having a baby?"

"I don't know about that." Meng Langzhong hesitated and said, "It's hard to say about it, her body has been damaged... It depends on whether God will give her this good luck or not."
