Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 723
Li Xin looked funny, and didn't care how funny her mother's actions were, she turned her head and asked Li Houzhong, "Father, did you persuade uncle to go back?"

Li Houzhong sighed: "Your uncle has to come next time."

"Don't talk to him." Liu said angrily: "Your father and daughter are soft-hearted. With such relatives, they hide as much as they can. I don't know how his family can bear your uncle's temper like brown sugar."

Li Xin just chuckled, Li Houzhong couldn't hold back his face, anyway, he was his elder brother, and he always felt it was inappropriate to be said behind his back by his wife, so he said: "Everyone has gone back, what are you talking about, it's up to you stone."

Liu muttered twice, but did not argue with Li Houzhong.

After watching for a while, Mrs. Liu suddenly groaned, turned her head to Li Xin and said, "Xin'er, go find a cloth for mother to dip in water and wipe it off, there seems to be some kind of pattern..."

Li Xin agreed, and went to draw the water from the cloth and handed it to Liu Shi. After Liu Shi took it, he rubbed vigorously on the inner wall of the stone step. Come on, come on, come on, what kind of pattern is this? It's square, maybe there are characters on it?"

Li Xin looked forward and his eyes widened.

I saw that the inconspicuous flat part of the stone seemed to have been branded with a seal, and the square frame was framed. There may be four characters inside the frame. It is not the font used by ordinary people today, but it looks like ancient times. The ghostly talisman-like characters look solemn and majestic.Maybe it has been worn down for many years, and it is a little mutilated, but it can still be seen roughly.

"What's that word?"

Mrs. Liu asked again, Li Xin shook her head and said, "I don't recognize it, it should not be the font we use now."

Mrs. Liu murmured, "This should be a problem... Otherwise, let's invite Mr. Shan Zita to come and have a look?"

Li Ge, who had been teasing Liang'er, heard Liu Shi talking about Shanzi, and immediately shouted: "Oh! I forgot that my nephew ran away!"

Mrs. Liu scolded with a smile: "What about your elder nephew? You are younger than your elder nephew. What's wrong with calling him by his name on weekdays? My elder nephew calls you by his name all day long. I'm afraid that others will not know that you are superior to him. .”

Li Ge snorted: "Whoever told him not to treat me like an aunt on weekdays, I will call him nephew."

Li Ge jumped to the ground and shouted: "Sister, you are not allowed to go back, I will come back to play with Liang'er later, I am going to catch my eldest nephew now." After speaking, he jumped and ran out.

Li Xin covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Ge'er's temper doesn't know who he's following."

Mrs. Liu said: "Look, this girl will definitely be a little pepper when she grows up. The last time I bumped into two women on the ridge and quarreled fiercely. She was not afraid, and she even interjected in the middle in a daze. The two of them were quarreling vigorously, but once she got involved, the quarrel couldn't go on anymore, so they went home and let it go."

"That means Ge'er has the ability to be a peacemaker!"

"What's the matter with peace? If she wants to see him and her beautifully, she can mess up other people's affairs."

Mrs. Liu said a few words disapprovingly, staring at the pattern near the bottom of the stone, pondered for a while and asked Li Xin, "Well, Xin'er, do you think we can give this stone to Baocheng for evaluation? "

Li Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mother, this stone is big, it looks like the stones by the river, it's nothing special, and it's basically impossible for it to be appraised for treasures..."

"Isn't there its fortune in it? There's also the Chinese character." Liu quickly pointed to the pattern on the stone and said, "There must be some meaning to this?"

Li Xin shook his head: "Mother, I still don't know what patterns and characters are there. Who knows what the meaning is. If you want me to tell you, don't listen to uncle, the gem society is just a mix of merchants and yamen. My son’s trick, if ordinary people really have any rare stones, they would have been taken away by merchants and yamen, and it would be good if they eat meat and ordinary people can have a mouthful of soup.”

Li Xin said to Mrs. Liu: "Mother, don't get meddled with this matter. The end of the new year is approaching, so let's think about the Chinese New Year."

Mrs. Liu was a little displeased, and discussed with Li Xin, "Although Mingzi didn't reply, he will definitely come back this Chinese New Year. Mother also wants to pave the way for him. If you are interested, let's do what we like to dredge up the relationship, and we will definitely be good to Mingzi..."

Before Liu's words were finished, Li Houzhong said: "He is on his way, so don't worry about it. He doesn't know what he can do and what he can't do. If he is really capable, you just don't pave the way for him. Help him clear up the relationship, and he can still run up. If you are rushing to curry favor with those official masters, that is really holding Mingzi back. Only by asking his mother to offer stones did he establish a relationship with him."

Mrs. Liu immediately slapped her face: "It's fine if you don't help your son think about the future as a father, but I will bury me if I help him think about you. If you have the ability, I don't need to think about that crooked person?"

"Okay, dad, mom, what a big deal, don't talk about it..." Li Xin hurriedly came out to reconcile the two people's emotions: "This stone is not a big deal, you can bring it back from anywhere, just treat it as our stone." My town house stone, why don't you touch it easily?"

While talking, Li Xin winked at Li Houzhong, raised his voice and called out, asking the long-time workers outside to help Li Houzhong move the stone back to the altar.

Li Xin put his arms around Liu Shi again and comforted him: "Mother, don't be anxious with Dad, what Dad said is somewhat reasonable. Ming'er must have learned a lot in the past few years when he went abroad to study, and he always has his own way of dealing with people. Proper. He hasn’t come back yet, and we don’t know what the family needs to do. It won’t be too late to pave the way for him when he opens his mouth, isn’t it? Besides, mother, you forgot that my sister-in-law married a sixth grade The official, our family is not empty in the officialdom."

Li Xin did not intend to let Su Yan help Li Ming Qingyun go straight up by saying this, but just to reassure Liu Shi.

Sure enough, Mrs. Liu was still a little unhappy at first, but when she heard Li Xin mentioning Su Yan later, her expression improved, and she took Li Xin's hand and said, "You only have three brothers, your elder brother and second younger brother are all in place, and your mother doesn't." Sorrow, just this Saburo, who was smart since he was a child, studied hard, and wanted to be an official, mother was afraid that he was born as a commoner, and others would look down on him and he would be bullied... If you say so , my mother will feel at ease in her heart."

Li Xin patted Liu Shi's hand, and persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry with Dad, Dad is right, we pave the way for Ming'er is our heart as a family, but in the eyes of others It's just inappropriate, and maybe people will use it to make a fuss to attack Mingzi in the future. He is not a kid anymore, and he knows how to go in the future. We just need to stand behind him and support him. He'll do it."

Liu wiped her eyes and nodded.

Li Xin laughed and said: "My parents will be angry when I come back, isn't this telling me not to come back in the future?"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly scolded: "Look at what you said." Then she glared at Li Houzhong: "Go back and look at the pigs raised at home to see if they have gained weight these days. Slaughtering a pig during the New Year is delicious. Meal."

Li Houzhong smiled helplessly, and happily went to the pigsty behind.

Mrs. Liu picked up Liang'er, came over to hug her, and talked to Li Xin. After a while, Li Ge ran back in a hurry, followed by Xiaodou and Yoyo.

Li Ge stepped into the door and went straight to the water glass in front of Mrs. Liu, picked up the water and drank it all in one gulp, then sighed in relief: "It's so comfortable!"

"You monkey, where did you go?"

Li Ge snorted and said, "I went looking for my eldest nephew, but I didn't find anyone."

Shanzi dragged Yang'er and Xiaokang into the woods, trying to hide from Li Ge on purpose, it's strange that Li Ge can easily find someone.

Li Ge sat down on one side of the chair, wearing a thick cotton coat, his little face was flushed like an apple.She looked at Xiaodou and Yoyo who were on the side and laughed, and proudly looked up at Liu Shi and Li Xin: "Mother, sister, they are all my juniors!"

Li Xin found it funny: "Yes, you are older than them all."

Li Ge burst out laughing, and silver bell-like laughter rang in the room.

Youyou pursed her lips, rubbed her arms into Li Xin's arms and said, "Mother, my aunt is only a little older than Youyou..."

Li Xin patted her head.There is no way, the seniority is there, just like Shanzi, who is seven or eight years older than Li Ge, why don't we still call him Aunt Li Ge?

Xiaodou was kind, found a place to sit down, and gently asked Mu Chun to sit with him.

Li Ge nodded his head, and said with some regret: "Unfortunately, Jiu'er is not here."

Li Erlang and Jiang's have already opened two shops in the town. They are honest people, the quality and taste of the food they sell are good, and they manage enough. The business is very good, and they are very busy on weekdays.The number of times to return to the village is very small.Jiu'er lived with them in the town, and only went back to the village once in a while, which made Li Ge lose a playmate of the same age of a different generation.

Mrs. Liu laughed and scolded her: "You don't think it's enough for so many people to play with you?"

Li Ge snorted and said, "My eldest nephew always runs out, and my second nephew is usually not willing to play. My sister came back to bring them back, and when I got home, my eldest nephew abducted two of them, and the other one was not happy. Talking, Yoyo can't turn the rope right now, Liang'er can't even stand... It's not fun!"

Mrs. Liu slapped her: "Jiantian wants to play! I'm so busy, you can collect firewood for me, and carry a small backpack to go around the mountain and come back, so that you won't wear your skin here and get covered all over the place. itch!"

Li Ge snorted angrily, and was about to refute, when there was another movement at the door, and Shan Zi, Yang Er, and Xiao Kang came back talking and laughing.

Li Ge rushed forward immediately, pointing at Shanzi and said, "Nephew, let's see where you are going!"

It is rare for Li Xin to see Shanzi sigh and hold his forehead, but now he sees Shanzi sighing helplessly, turning around and saying to Yang'er and Xiaokang: "See? Women are troublesome, nothing serious I still remember it for a long time, it was so annoying..."
