Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 83
Because she was too nervous, she stuttered even when she spoke.

Li Meilan broke free from her painful hand, "Otherwise, why do you think I went to the hospital?"

"No, no!" When Hao Shi heard that he had been poisoned, the first thing he thought of was death, and he spun around in circles for a few times.

Sui pulled her and said: "Let's go, let's go to the clinic for another consultation and find out what went wrong."

"Okay!" Li Meilan, who was not too bothered by her, broke her free violently.

"It's said that you can't diagnose it, and it's just a waste of money to diagnose it again."

Upon hearing that money was wasted, Hao Shi covered her chest again, "Then what should I do!"

What to do?Li Meilan narrowed her eyes, "Let's just listen to them for now!"

"Then this poison..."

"I can't die!" It's just crazy.

If she hadn't thought about her own reputation, she wouldn't have told her mother about her poisoning, but would have just talked a few words about Zhao Junyi and let her spread the word.It's good to have a look at Jieshi, whether the poison is real or not.

But now that I have said it, I have to make good use of it. Even if I can't say it outside, I still have to make trouble inside to kill them.

Seeing that Hao Shi was still anxious, Li Meilan rolled her eyes and began to persuade patiently.

After calming down her emotions, he said: "Since the elder sister is like us, when you find time, you can ask her to see if it can be broken. They are both husband and wife. Could it be that brother-in-law is really so cruel?" No?"

Hao Shi calmed down, and after listening to what she said, she also felt that it was reasonable, "Why don't I ask them again after your marriage is settled and you invite them to the engagement wine?"

"Ok!"

Jealousy flashed in Li Meilan's eyes, but she nodded lightly on her face, "Let's go, mother!"

Hao Shi nodded dejectedly and hummed lightly, and walked towards the gate of the city together with her.

Li Diaozhu, who thought he had cured them, didn't know Li Meilan's inner thoughts.

At this time, she was blushing and didn't know how to go out to face Li Jingzhe.Just as I was worrying, the voices of Zhao Miao'er and Zhao Niqiu came from the courtyard again.

This is great, originally there was only one child, but now it has become three!

She touched her swollen lips with her hand, and seeing the man's calm expression leisurely straightening the folds of the skirt, she couldn't help but give him a sideways glance.

She just responded to his slap, but he almost swallowed her in a domineering way. If he hadn't stopped the car in time, she and he would have to...

Oh, I can't think about it anymore, she closed her eyes and blushed, covered her face with her hands and kept shaking her head.

That cute look made the man who had been glancing at him out of the corners of his eyes flash a gleam of joy, secretly calmed down his mind, and made the clear eyes return to their usual indifferent look.

It was so dangerous just now, I wanted to punish her with a kiss, but who would have thought that this little fairy would stick out her little tongue to respond to him.

Just one moment, it almost made him go crazy and almost lost his mind, if it wasn't for the critical juncture, thinking that the poison in his body was not cleared, I am afraid that he and she would have been unable to hold back and accomplished a good thing.

Inadvertently flashed in her mind, the shy look of her lying in her arms with her legs softened by her own kiss just now, the hotness that the man had finally calmed down suddenly rose again.

Coughed lightly, seeing that she was still covering her face shyly, she couldn't help but ask with a smile: "The children have entered the hospital, don't you go to greet them?"

Letting go of the hand covering his face, the woman rolled his eyes reproachfully, pursed her lips that were too red, "It's all your fault!" How can you see the child like this?
Thinking about it for a while, Zhao Miaoer raised her head and asked why her mouth looked like a thick slice of red meat with innocent eyes, and she couldn't stop blushing.

Zhao Junyi curled his thin lips lightly, "If you don't go, then don't go."

After saying that, he raised his foot and opened the door and walked out.

Zhao Miaoer and Zhao Niqiu, who called the door outside, didn't wait for the third aunt to open the door, but they waited for Li Jingzhe to come.

Zhao Miaoer raised her head and innocently asked who he was.

Zhao Niqiu looked at him timidly and dared not speak.

Li Jingzhe didn't know what to do with the two children, she just scratched her head and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Let's come to work!" Zhao Miaoer nodded and stared with her lips pouted, looking like a little adult, "Who are you?"

"This is my eldest sister's house!"

"Who is your eldest sister?"

"This is my eldest sister's!"

"Nonsense, this is my third aunt's house! It's not your eldest sister's house!"

Seeing her stare, Li Jingzhe said without giving in: "This is my eldest sister's house!"

"no……"

Seeing that the two children were about to fight over whose house it was, it happened that Zhao Junyi opened the door to leave the house, and when they saw the adult, they stopped talking and ran over.

Li Jingzhe called his brother-in-law first, and Zhao Miaoer and Zhao Niqiu called him third uncle, not far behind.

Zhao Junyi glanced at them lightly.

Seeing this, several people were so obedient that they dared not speak any more.

Zhao Junyi went over to give a penny to each of the children in the two rooms next door, "I don't have a job today, let's go back!"

Zhao Miaoer rubbed the money on her body, tilted her head and asked in puzzlement, "Third Uncle, where is Third Aunt?"

"Why do you ask so much?" The tone was neither salty nor dull, coupled with that surprisingly cold expression.Zhao Miao'er and Zhao Niqiu both were too scared to take a few steps back.

"Go back!" He frowned impatiently and glanced at the two of them.

After hearing this, the two of them didn't dare to say any more, quickly turned around and ran towards their own courtyard.

Seeing the two running away, Li Jingzhe scratched his head and closed the door.

At the end, he turned back to the man who was about to enter the main house and asked, "Brother-in-law, what is my sister doing?"

The man didn't answer, just glanced at him.

Li Jingzhe choked for a while, and smiled a little helplessly, "Just now she asked me to go to the main house."

"Sleep, wait a while!" After staring at him for a while, the man finally walked towards the main house.

The little girl Li Jingzhe was left there scratching her head with some confusion, "Could it be that I didn't sleep well last night!" It was early in the morning, why did I fall asleep?

Li Kongzhu on the other side heard the movement outside clearly, and after waiting for the man to come back in the room, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

Seeing this, the man raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, then went straight to the kang, sat cross-legged and meditated.

Meditation again!Li Kongzhu wrinkled his nose, his mouth was swollen and he didn't dare to go out, so he had to sit with him on the kang.He leaned on his chin with staring eyes, watching him meditating like a statue.

When it was almost noon, the swelling in the mouth finally disappeared.

When Li Kongzhu came out of the house, he saw Li Jingzhe coming from the chicken coop against the chopped firewood.

Smiling, she greeted her, "You're hungry! Eldest sister, let's make some noodles, Xiangwu, let's have meat and some noodles!"

Hearing the meat, Li Jingzhe swallowed greedily, shook his head and said: "I think it's almost noon, I want to help with the cooking."

"Elder Sister! Will I light a fire for you later?"

"Success!" Li Kongzhu smiled happily as he took over the firewood he was holding.Hearing what he said, she called him if she could, and quickly followed her to the small kitchen.

Turn out the frozen fresh meat and make dough again.

To make him light the fire, she rolled the noodles and fried the pork chops.

When it's done, it's just ringing at noon.

Shouting excitedly, Li Jingzhe hurriedly served the bowl and chopsticks.

She also put the ready-made noodles in the rice bowl, and was leaving the house with the fried meatballs in one hand.

On the other side, Zhao Mengzi was holding Li Chong's donkey cart, and the one who collected a cart full of fruits started calling the door outside.

Li Diaozhu ordered Li Jingzhe who came back from setting up the bowl to open the door, and called Zhao Junyi to come out and help unload the car.

After he piled the fruits into the small kitchen, he asked Zhao Mengzi to eat here.

Zhao Mengzi scratched his head and smiled when he saw a relative coming to his house.

Li Diaozhu didn't force him to send him away, and told his daughter-in-law and Hui Niang to come and wash the fruit, and by the way, call Mrs. Wang to come too, so that there is no need to find anyone for the time being, and after two days there will be more fruits. .

After hearing this, Zhao Mengzi wrote down one by one, got back into the car and waved his whip and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll write it down!"

"En! Be careful and drive the car, it's only one step away, don't worry!" Li Kongzhu did not forget to remind him while nodding.

"Got it!"

After Zhao Mengzi was sent back to the hospital, Li Jingzhe came out of the small kitchen in a strange way, "Sister, those cakes are really made by Shanlihong!"

"You kid, don't you know after eating for so long? What else do you ask?"

He tugged his little bun's head with a smirk, but the boy grinned and said, "I know, I'm just curious."

"Finished out of curiosity?" Seeing him nodding, Li Kongzhu patted his little head again, "Hurry up and go to the house for dinner when you're done with curiosity, or the noodles will be lumpy in a while."

"Hey!" The kid responded cheerfully, and rushed towards the room quickly.

Standing under the eaves, Zhao Junyi waited for the woman to come, and then walked towards the house together, but the moment he entered the house, he frowned in displeasure, "Son, make trouble!"

Li Kongzhu paused in the back, then shook his head a little dumbfounded, "It's really..." I don't know what to say, with his temperament, how can he not be too troublesome?

After dinner, Maiyaer and the three of them made an appointment to come over together

When they saw Li Jingzhe again, they looked at Li Diaozhu curiously.

Li Kongzhu had no choice but to smile and said that his younger brother was going to stay at her house temporarily, which made everyone look away.

When washing the fruits again, they did not wash them in the house anymore, because they were afraid that the moisture would return to the ground, so they carried them under the eaves and began to clean and remove the stalks, while the pitting was still carried out in the house.

While washing fruit, Li Diaozhu asked Mrs. Wang if there were any schools in the nearby villages besides the town.

Hearing her question, Mrs. Wang paused her washing hands, turned to look at her curiously, and said, "Why are you asking this? Someone in the family is going to school?" As she spoke, she turned her eyes away from the person who was helping to remove the core. Li Jingzhe.

Li Kongzhu didn't hide anything, he also glanced at his younger brother, smiled back, "Yes!"

Wang was surprised, "Your mother let you go to school?"

"That's not true." Li Kongzhu, who continued to work, shook his head, "I decided to come to school on my own initiative."

Mrs. Wang was even more surprised. Are you coming to school?Is this going to return to her mother's house?This Li Jingzhe is the son of the Li family, and he was placed in the Zhao family village...

"You're not afraid..." As he spoke, he pressed his lips against the other side.

Li Kongzhu shook his head, "I have a trick, aunt just tell me if there is a school nearby."

Mrs. Wang pondered for a while, "There is an old scholar in Liushu Village not far away. Although one year's repair is not expensive, it is not cheap. After one year, it is about one or two silver at least. This is not bad. Regardless of the cost of books or anything else, you have to pay for it yourself."

Li Kongzhu nodded, "Although studying is a bit expensive, no matter how hard it is, we can't suffer for our children. No matter how poor we are, we can't be poor. Education, knowledge, is the best way to get ahead."

Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard that, but when she saw her smiling face, she was a little stunned...

Wait until the next ring to get the wages and go home.

Seeing Chen Baisheng sitting on the kang, Mrs. Wang hurried into the room and told her what she had heard from Li Kongzhu in the afternoon.

"I think that's the same reasoning, and looking at her like that, I'm afraid she wants to train her natal brothers, so she might have to use helpers in the future." After a pause, he yelled at his old man again, "Hey , You said, why don’t we send Jiwa there too? When we met, we had a companion back and forth, and we had a childhood friendship. No matter what the situation is in the future, at least our grandson will be at a loss, right? "

Even if it is not developed, Jiwa has knowledge, even if he goes to a big shop in the town to learn abacus in the future, it will be a good way to account for others in the future.If it is developed, with their childhood friendship, Li Kongzhu is soft-hearted, and if he wants to pull him out, he can't even consider someone who is closer to him!

Chen Baisheng nodded his head, "Let me think about it." Knocking on the cigarette stick, he lit the cigarette again, and began to frown and meditate.

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, obviously thinking that he was just thinking about it.

After all, without saying anything, he turned around and left the house, preparing to call his grandson back.She has made up her mind that she must send her grandson to school, and she can't continue playing in such a wasteful way.

Li Kongzhu's words, no matter how hard it is, don't suffer children, no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education, but it shocked her heart for a long time.

The next day, when Li Kongzhu waited for Hui Niang and the others to boil the hawthorn, he said that he was going to the town.

When they heard she said that she was going to buy a teacher's ceremony, both of them were very surprised.

Especially Mai Ya'er, she couldn't understand her, "Sister-in-law, I know you have a good heart, but if you do this, how will you make people in the old Zhao family think?"

This is a child of her natal family. You were a little criticized for taking it in and raised it, and you even went to school to learn how to read. What does this make other family members think?
Especially the other two rooms next door.

Hui Niang was also a little worried, "Don't calm down so easily, there will be another big scene at the time of the meeting, you can explain it clearly in the past, but now, some outsiders will feel that you are biased!"

"I know this, so you can rest assured! I have a plan in my heart."

Seeing her confident appearance, the two of them didn't know how to say more.Nodding her head, let her go at ease. There are not many hawthorns to cook at home, so she can be busy.

After Li Kongzhu said a few polite words, he called Li Jingzhe who was dressed up and left the courtyard.

Zhao Junyi couldn't bear to stay at home, so he changed his way of life with Zhao Mengzi, and let him collect the fruit, while Zhao Mengzi stayed at home and smashed the fruit.

Because they still had the same way to get out of the village, Li Diaozhu and Li Jingzhe got into the donkey cart with the shed unloaded and rushed out of the village.

Mrs. Wang, who had been paying attention to them at that time, had been watching them at the entrance of the village early, and when she saw them again, she quickly waved her hand to stop the car.

When Li Kongzhu was waiting for the car to stop, he smiled and asked, "Auntie, what do you want to bring?"

Wang shook her head, "I'm waiting to be with you."

"One piece?"

"Well!" Wang replied, and asked if he could get in the car and go together.

She even said that she wanted to be with him, Li Kongzhu would not refuse to go, and invited her to get in the car with a smile.

Waiting for her to come up, she immediately took her hand and patted it, "I went back and thought about it all night after the ringing sounded yesterday. But I have been going back and forth in my heart, and I also feel that this is the reason. No, thinking about it, you know a lot, so I want to buy the teacher's ceremony with you, Jiwa is not young Now, now is the time to be enlightened."

It would be great to have one more kid studying, Li Kongzhu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Over there, Mrs. Wang patted Li Jingzhe's head again, "I am lucky to have such a big sister like you. From now on, let my Jiwa be with him as a companion. It's not that cold anymore."

"That's the reason." It's a good idea to pick it up in winter, and the days are long in summer, and the two little ones can come back together on their own without fear.

When the car reached a bend in the avenue, it diverged.

The three of Li Kongzhu got off the car, and after making an appointment with Zhao Junyi for the next return trip, they walked towards the town together.

When we arrived in the town, we first went to buy the six rites for apprenticeship, and then Li Diaozhu bought some expensive pastries and fine cotton cloth, and then weighed a lot of fresh meat.

The Wang family on the side looked a little dumbfounded, and pulled her to ask why a teacher wanted to buy so many precious things, but Li Kongzhu smiled and replied, "It's not for the teacher, it's for the elders in the clan. Let the mind go."

Wang Shi closed her mouth, rolled her eyes, and understood the taste.

After buying all the things, several people went to the bookstore again.

When they arrived at the door of the bookstore, the errand, who was doing odd jobs, saw that they had brought their children, so he welcomed the two of them in without making things difficult.

When Li Diaozhu led Li Jingzhe into the room, he saw that the bookstore was not very big, but the bookcases on three sides were filled with all kinds of books, smelling the pleasant fragrance of thick ink.

Li Kongzhu asked the little brother who came to greet him: "I don't know how the enlightenment books here are sold together?"

"It depends on what kind of books my sister-in-law buys. There are several kinds of enlightenment in our store, such as the Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Classic, and the Young Lin Qiongxue. Different books naturally have different prices. Yes." Xiao Er smiled and led them to the place where the books and bookcases were placed.

Li Diaozhu picked Qionglin from his primary school, "Let's do it!"

"Little sister-in-law has a good eye. This book was copied by an old scholar a few days ago and put on sale here. Look at the neat writing and neat pages..."

"Just say how much it is!" Li Kongzhu stopped his eloquent mouth, closed the book and asked directly.

"Five hundred Wen!" Seeing that she was happy, Xiao Er told her the price he knew by heart.

The Wang family behind took a deep breath, Li Kongzhu also frowned, obviously did not expect this little book of enlightenment, since he bought a copy of [-] Wen.This is equivalent to the price of half a tael of silver. If you add pen, ink, paper and inkstone later...

Xiao Er at the side obviously noticed it too. Although he felt a little contemptuous, he still smiled warmly on his face, "Your sister-in-law thinks it's too expensive?"

Li Kongzhu glanced at him, and silently replayed the book back.He asked without feeling ashamed: "I wonder if there are used books for sale in the store? It's true that new books are too expensive, and the little lady can't afford the money."

Xiaoer pursed his lips, but he didn't have any reason to refuse the door-to-door business, so he said with less enthusiasm: "Yes, but some handwriting may be blurred."

"No defense! As long as you can see it!"

Seeing that she had said that, the shopkeeper standing behind the counter over there was also winking, so Xiao Er had no choice but to extend his hand to beg and lead a few people to the box behind the bookcase where used books were placed.

Opening the box, he said in a cold voice, "Just put it here, sister-in-law, look for it yourself!"

The Wang family behind was a little dissatisfied, but Li Kongzhu stretched out his hand to give her a hand, shook his head, and began to look for generals by himself.

After finding two identical enlightenment books, she handed one to Wang, and she herself found a travelogue and a book on farming from it.

Seeing her picking up several books at once, Mrs. Wang couldn't help asking, "Why did you buy so many?"

"These are agricultural books, which tell how to farm. Don't you have two acres of mountain peach land at home? Seeing that spring is coming, I'm worried about how to use it, and I want to find some ideas from it."

"Are you literate?" Wang was surprised, but then recovered and thought that she must have learned it in the inner house.

Sure enough, the next second Li Kongzhu smiled and said: "When I was a human, I learned a few things from my master, but I don't know the whole thing."

Mrs. Wang was a little envious when she heard it. Most of the farmers in this era are blind, and they have inexplicable awe and admiration for people who can read and write.

Seeing her like this, Li Kongzhu hurriedly greeted her to buy some rough pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

When the settlement was finished and came out, Mrs. Wang clutched her purse with a painful face and sighed, "This book is really not that easy to read. After returning home, it seems that I have to urge my grandson to learn it every day, otherwise, this A tael of silver, isn't it going to be wasted?"

Li Kongzhu pursed his lips and teased, "Auntie don't have to worry about this, Jiwa is smart, even if she doesn't pass the exam, with her education background, she may be more than enough to be a shopkeeper in the future."

"Then I'll lend you a good word!" Wang Shi blinked his eyes, and started chatting with her with a smile again.

When the appointed time came, when they arrived at the crossing, they saw Zhao Junyi waiting there.

There are not many fruits in the car, only half a car.

When Li Kongzhu frowned and passed by, the man said calmly, "Get in the car!"

After several people got into the car, Mrs. Wang looked at the few fruits and couldn't help asking, "Why are there so few?"

Li Kongzhu took a fruit from the basket and looked at Zhao Junyi with the same questioning eyes.

The man driving the car had a calm expression on his face, and said without feeling anything, "The fruit is a bit difficult to pick. In addition, when they went to pick it early this morning, they encountered another group of strong men fighting for it."

When he was harvesting the fruit, those hunters questioned him, but they found someone else to grab the fruit.Although he rejected it, it still made those hunters a little dissatisfied.

You must know that the fruit is becoming more and more difficult to pick nowadays. If another batch comes in to grab the fruit, it may not be enough money for running errands if you go to the mountains to search for the fruit for a day.

Some people also had the idea of ​​not wanting to pick any more fruits because of this. Seeing this, Zhao Junyi made another promise of adding one penny per catty, which temporarily appeased the group of fruit pickers.

After listening to the explanation, Li Kongzhu knew that it would be a matter of time, but he never expected that in less than two days, people would find out the source of their fruit and started to follow suit snatch.

"Then what should I do in the future?" Wang Shi also heard from the side that it was about her own interests, which made her worry.

"Anyway, we won't be able to make it for long. If you want to pick it, just pick it. It's nothing more than stopping the production early!" Li Diaozhu smiled indifferently, and it's time to rest after making hawthorn for so long.

Wang turned her eyes to look at her, and saw that she seemed to be lying on purpose, so she said in a somewhat distasteful way: "Could it be possible that you won't do it in the future?"

"Isn't that right? I'll do it again this year when it's red in autumn!"

With a relaxed smile on his face, Li Kongzhu, who was obviously not affected by this, replied with a smile, then stopped continuing and started another topic.

Wang felt a little disappointed when she saw it, and reached into the basket to touch the newly bought old book, not knowing whether it was the right one or the wrong one...

When the group arrived home, Li Kongzhu unloaded the fruit, and after lunch, he took a basket and called Zhao Junyi, asking him to lead him to find the oldest elder in the Zhao family.

Wait until the family has finished delivering the pastries.

Finally, carrying the meat and cloth to the head of the Zhao family, which is located in the remotest part of the village.

When seeing the unique two-entry five-room bright big green brick and big tiled house, Li Diaozhu was still very impressed.It never occurred to me that the house of a country patriarch could be built in such a grand manner.

I saw that the wall occupied nearly an acre of land, and even the courtyard wall was made of green bricks. The courtyard door was painted with red tung oil, which looked unusually bright and dazzling under the warm winter sun.

If it is not located too remote, a 'luxury house' like this would definitely be the first eye-catching thing no matter when entering or leaving the village on weekdays.

After sighing, she went up the steps and knocked on the courtyard door.

Hearing the knock on the door, the patriarch's granddaughter-in-law came to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the daughter-in-law smiled enthusiastically when she saw the two of them. "Hey, third brother Zhao and sister-in-law are here, please come in quickly."

Li Kongzhu saluted her with a smile, "It's been so long since I married, it's the first time I visit her, I don't know if I'm disturbed or not."

"Hey, what I'm talking about is a family, what's the trouble?" He led them into the yard and up the steps in the front yard.After entering the house, he poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Li Kongzhu couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he looked at the not-so-fine porcelain teacup.

He took it with a smile and took a sip. The tea in his mouth was mellow and fragrant. Although it is not a top-notch tea, it is not cheap to have such a taste.

The daughter-in-law who poured tea glanced at the basket she was carrying aside, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I want to talk to the patriarch about something."

Without concealing the truth, he got up and lifted the towel covering the basket, picked it up and handed it to her and said: "Although it is a bit rude to come to the door if you need something, but this matter is not a bad thing. Thinking about it, the patriarch should Yes, you will agree."

The patriarch's daughter-in-law glanced at the basket inadvertently, and saw that there was a piece of fine cotton cloth in it.Also, the oiled paper bag was also soaked in oil, presumably it was meat or something.

With a smile on his eyebrows, he stretched out his hand to take it, and the crunchy words in his mouth seemed to flow like water, bubbling non-stop, "Hey, what are you talking about? The old man is the elder of the clan, and he is usually Manage some family affairs. Whoever comes to the door is not looking for something, could it be possible that they can still go through the door?"

As he spoke, he approached her in a whisper and said, "If it's really a rush, few people would dare to come. Although my old man looks good, few people can stand it."

Li Kongzhu pursed his lips and chuckled lightly, while Zhao Junyi over there just cast a slight glance at this side.

When the daughter-in-law found out, she hurriedly yelled, "Brother Zhao is afraid that I will say something bad? Look at the eyes! Sister-in-law, you are blessed."

"Brother and sister, you did this for no reason, why are you getting involved with something unscrupulous?" Li Kongzhu pretended to be coquettish and annoyed.

After the daughter-in-law was amused, she held the basket and told them to wait a while, and she went to help the old man over.

After Li Kongzhu thanked her, he and Zhao Junyi sat in the room and bowed their heads, waiting to get up.

During the period, Li Kongzhu asked Zhao Junyi if he had seen the patriarch.

But he just hummed a few times and didn't answer.

Shrugging his shoulders boredly, he took another two sips of the good tea.

It took almost half a cup of tea before I heard voices coming from outside.

Li Kongzhu straightened his clothes quickly and got up from his seat, Zhao Junyi over there also got up after seeing this.

However, compared to Li Diaozhu's cautiousness, Zhao Junyi seemed much calmer.If you look carefully, you can still see a little sarcasm in his eyes.

As the voice of the voice approached, Li Kongzhu lowered his gaze to the ground, showing respect.

The daughter-in-law outside told the grandfather to be careful of the gate, when the two stepped into the house.The daughter-in-law called out again: "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, my grandfather is here."

"Patriarch!"

Li Kongzhu squatted down to salute, while Zhao Junyi over there just bowed his hands indifferently.

The old man, who is over seventy years old, looked Li Kongzhu up and down for a long time before calling him to get up.

Holding the hand of grandson's daughter-in-law, she went to the upper seat and sat down. After she was seated, she waved her hand to let the two of them sit down.

Li Kongzhu thanked him, and carefully went to the side to sit under Zhao Junyi.

Zhao Junyi stared at the elderly man in the upper position, and slightly curled his lips, "I haven't seen you for a few years, the old man is still so hale and hearty."

The white-haired old man at the top laughed loudly like a bell.Seeing that the grandson's daughter-in-law served the tea, she blew the tea with a cup of foam. After she took a sip, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't die so early before seeing your success and fame!"

Zhao Junyi snorted coldly, but Li Kongzhu was surprised.

This old man?Could it be that he knew about Zhao Junyi?

After the Zhao family head joked, he pinched his beard and looked at Li Kongzhu, who was staring in surprise, and nodded.

"Although I heard such rumors, now it seems that it has really changed a lot. I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse to follow a kid like you!"

Li Kongzhu was a little more generous, but Zhao Junyi over there was extremely indifferent, "It has nothing to do with the old man whether it is a blessing or a disaster, you just need to take good care of the Zhao family members."

"Although you are dissatisfied with forcing you into the Zhao family tree, but don't forget that following Zhao's surname has brought you peace for many years. As a human being, you must not forget your kindness!"

"Oh!" Zhao Junyi snorted coldly, "I will never forget what I promised back then, but for some people, it doesn't matter much!"

"No!" The old man shook his head, "How old Zhao treats you, I think you have a plan in your mind. I have heard about the incident between you and his descendants. Although it is unreasonable to make trouble, But to you, they are nothing more than country hooligans and shrews, not worth mentioning."

After Zhao Junyi listened, he pursed his lips and remained silent.

At the side, Li Kongzhu watched the two of them practice Tai Chi, and you waited for a long time for each sentence, seeing that the meeting was finally free.

He hurriedly added: "That... patriarch, I have something to say."
