Xing'er boiled water and was washing the vegetables, Li Xin and Axiu didn't shy away from her when they mentioned money, which made her feel warm.

Xing'er smiled and said to Li Xin: "Seeing your complexion that day, when I asked you and you said you were going back to your mother's house, I thought something happened to your mother's house." Then she sighed: "Later, Axiu took Amei Only when you came to my house did you tell me about your family. Brother Guan followed you to stay at your mother’s house for two days, right? You are already angry enough, so you should tell Brother Guan that he has always been Reasonable people."

Li Xin smiled lightly, took a basin of hot water to wash the pork legs, and said while washing, "It is reasonable to be reasonable, he is a good person, but there are some things... I can't explain clearly at the moment." Li Xin sighed, " After all, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

Xing'er also sighed shallowly, seeing that Axiu and Amei were busy lighting the fire, she whispered to Li Xin's ear and said, "During these days, you should be more restrained in doing things at home. Everyone knows."

Li Xin frowned strangely, "What do you say?"

"I'll tell you a letter quietly, you have to be mentally prepared." Xing'er lowered her voice and said, "You know that Yinhuan is always grinning and has no one to tell the truth. She told me a few days ago Now, our county magistrate said that the newly elected village chief should be selected from young people, and those who are too old to convince the public by prestige are not allowed. Isn't her father-in-law the old village chief? He asked him to mention the names of a few young men in the village, including the head of your family. Recently, I was observing these few people. I can't make any mistakes at this time, otherwise it will be a great opportunity. Just lost."

Li Xin opened his mouth in surprise, and after a while he replied in a low voice: "Really?"

"What did I lie to you for?" Xing'er said with a smile, "Brother Guan is a good man, he must be more than enough to be the village head." She then whispered, "But if the future village head himself has a restless house, how can he be Ability to manage other households?"

Li Xin paused, then sighed and shook his head and said, "I don't think he has such luck."

"How do you say that?" Xing'er frowned, "I think Brother Guan is the most suitable one. In the village, I haven't found anyone who is more capable than Brother Guan."

"Sister Xing'er, don't you think it's ugly to say that the village chief's wife used to be a kiln sister?" Li Xin asked back, Xing'er choked: "Who said that?"

"When he becomes the village chief, someone will definitely say that, and the Sun family will be the first one." Li Xin said indifferently: "Since the current village chief, Sister Yinhuan, is elected as the next village chief, her father-in-law can't make the decision. If you can be nominated, you will be more careful when you want to choose the village chief. In order not to embarrass the people who are elected to the county, even if it is for others to see, they will not choose me."

After thinking about it carefully, Xing'er understood, she looked at Li Xin with slightly complicated eyes, and sighed: "It's hard for you..."

"I'm fine, but if my father-in-law and the others find out about this, there's no guarantee that something will happen again." Li Xin shrugged, "Don't talk about it, I'm here to relax, saying that those things are not Are you making me uncomfortable on purpose?"

Smiling at Xing'er, Li Xin looked at Axiu again: "Is it necessary for the two of you sisters to stay next to each other for a fire? Axiu, hurry up and set the dishes!"

"Ai!"

A Xiule ran away in a hurry, Li Xin asked Xing'er: "They have been nesting with you for the past two days, have they caused you trouble?"

"No trouble, no trouble, I have someone to help me with housework, I am too happy." Xing'er said with a smile: "Xiao Kang was taken to play by his grandma again, and I am very bored at home by myself. "

When it comes to the child, Li Xin's smile becomes more serious, "Sister Xing'er, is she going to send Xiaokang to learn how to read and write?"

"Yes." Xing'er sighed, "Xiaokang's father is a scholar. If he hadn't left early because of his poor health, I'm afraid that Xiaokang's enlightenment would be handed over to him. Xiaokang's father has always wanted to emulate his ancestors." I also want to be a scholar, and Xiaokang has to fulfill his unfulfilled wish for his father, which is also what my mother-in-law means."

Li Xin didn't think that if Lao Tzu's wish was not fulfilled, his son must inherit it, but it was necessary for him to learn some characters and understand some truths.If Xiaokang also likes to study in the future, it will be a good thing if he can fulfill his father's wish.

Li Xin smiled and said: "Xiaokang is sensible, so I must understand your mother's painstaking efforts. But the child is still young, so don't push too hard. The most important thing in reading and literacy is to understand the truth. Be a person before doing things. Xiaokang is so smart. If Make up your mind to keep learning, not to mention being a scholar, even a master Juren can win."

Xing'er laughed when she heard this, "Don't praise him, he doesn't know east, west, south, north, south if you praise him harshly. Although this child is as weak as his father, he is small-minded. If you say something to him, he has to remember something." It will take ten and a half months to forget."

"Such a good memory?" Li Xin exclaimed: "How old is he, and he has such a strong memory, he is clearly a child prodigy!"

"What kind of prodigy is not a child prodigy." Xing'er patted Li Xin, "Hurry up, cook and eat, I'm almost starving... Tsk, your pork leg is delicious..."

The four of them sat at a table and ate heartily without leaving any food.The pork leg brought by Li Xin was only partially cut, and the rest was hung on the stove by Xing'er.After eating and getting ready, Axiu pulled Li Xin to talk, and asked Li Xin why she left without saying a word.

"...My sister-in-law just told me some great truths, but when she turned around, she didn't guard herself."

Li Xin smiled, "From one moment to another, you will be your sister-in-law, okay?"

"But sister-in-law, what happened to you?" Axiu frowned and said, "If you invite Mr. Liu to eat, you may even have problems eating."

In short, it's hard to say... Li Xin moved his mouth, but finally shook his head, "Don't worry about it, I have something serious to tell you."

Axiu hurriedly sat up straight and listened, Xing'er also wiped her hands and sat down, and Amei naturally moved next to Axiu.

Li Xin cleared his throat first, drank some water, and then said: "This time I went back to my mother's house, but I didn't care about getting angry. I went to ask my mother and A Xiuxiang about their care. Sister Xing'er, how about you?" Listen, too, and give me some advice."

Axiu blushed suddenly, and said shyly, "Sister-in-law, you...how did you tell me..."

"Why can't I tell you? This is a major event in your life, and I can't make it for you quietly." Li Xin said seriously: "I didn't even tell your elder brother about this, so naturally I will tell you The other brothers and your father didn't say anything. They just planned to ask you first to see what you said. If you think it's not good, I won't mention it, and then look at other things. If you think it's okay, I will find time to visit."

Axiu was reserved for a long time but nodded, Li Xin smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed, this is the biggest thing in a girl's life, marrying a good man is better than anything else. If you don't care about yourself, others will be more I won’t pay attention to it anymore. Ask your sister Xing’er if this makes sense.”

Xing'er nodded hurriedly and said: "Axiu, I heard your sister-in-law is right, getting married is a big deal, if I let Sun Xique arrange it for you in the past, I won't allow you to be a concubine. Now your sister-in-law will give it to you Checking the situation and telling you about the situation is better than opening your eyes and being blind."

Axiu said: "I see, sister-in-law, tell me."

A-mei also looked at Li Xin expectantly.

"My mother inquired about one family in Lijia Village, and also inquired about two other families through a daughter-in-law who married in another village in the village. During this period of time, I have nothing to do. My mother has visited these three families. The situation is roughly the same as what I heard.”

"Ma'am is really warm-hearted." Xing'er sighed.

Li Xin said: "Let's talk about the household in Lijia Village first. The family name is Gong, and the population is relatively simple. The father and mother plus a boy and a girl. The girl is only eight years old this year, and the boy is eighteen years old. If you want to talk about kissing, it is this boy. His name is Gong'an. The young man has a lot of strength and is filial to his parents. His mother is looking after the girl for him. Now Gong'an is taking care of the family's land. There are cows, pigs, and a big stone mill for crushing millet shells. It is said that it was passed down from Gong'an's grandfather. Nowadays, many unmarried girls are targeting their family."

"This family's conditions are good, and it's in the same village, so everyone knows the basics." Xing'er said, "But the family's conditions are good, so naturally the requirements are high."

Li Xin nodded and said: "The biggest problem is here. Gong'an said that marrying a wife is up to his mother's will, but this Aunt Gong said that the girl who wants to marry her son needs to marry a pig, two geese and four chickens And eight-tailed fish, sixteen new clothes, and thirty-two eggs."

Axiu frowned upon hearing this, "Didn't she choose a daughter-in-law based on the wealth of the girl's family?"

Li Xin said: "That's what it means. So my mother also thinks it's inappropriate, but she also thinks that Gong'an is a pretty good kid, so she's included in the list of candidates."

"This doesn't count, let's talk about the next one." Axiu waved her hand, and directly rejected Gong'an.

Li Xin didn't persuade him, so he said next, "This second family is in Xiahe Village next to Lijia Village, which is a little far away from Hehua Village. The family in Xiahe Village is named Feng. Compared with the Gong family, this family There are a lot of family members in the family. The boy who is said to be dear is Feng Defa, who is nineteen years old. His grandma is still there, and there are five children under his grandma. Feng Defa's father is in the middle. Feng Defa is the second eldest in the family, and the elder brother above. There are two younger sisters below. The population is quite complicated.”

"There are so many people, it's comparable to your Guan family."

Axiu bit her lip, "Sister-in-law, has she visited this house too?"

"I've seen it." Li Xin smiled, "My mother told me that she valued the Feng family's Feng Defa's mother's soft temper, and his sister-in-law is a sick child. If the girl who married was a tougher girl, she would have married her in the past. Able to be the head of the family. Feng Defa's father lived in a separate family. His grandmother lived with his uncle. The only thing that bothered him was the marriage of the two younger sisters. But there was no rush. One younger sister was thirteen years old and the other was ten years old. , it's still early."

Li Xin took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "I heard that this family is good-natured, and they have a good reputation as sons in Xiahe Village. Feng Defa's appearance is a bit ordinary, but he is also tall and burly. A man, he is very popular in the village, and I haven't heard of him having a bad temper."

"Are there any shortcomings in this house?" Myolie asked.

"Yes." Li Xin said softly: "The shortcoming of this family is one word, poor."
