Chapter 39 Corvée
Chapter 39 Corvee
"You, you..."
The honest boy Xia He couldn't answer the question for a while. He always felt that this was not the truth. He couldn't think of anything to refute. He pointed angrily at the person and was speechless for a long time.
Li Qiusui went over and hugged his sister's arm, raised his eyebrows and asked Li Xiu'er: "Oh, you only saw that! Then I can recite the "Three Character Classic", can you? Do you know what it says? I can also count, I can
Picking up abacus beads. Can you do these?"
Li Xiuer's eyes widened, "Didn't it say that only men need to be able to read and read?"
Her brother Li Changhe had been studying since she was a child and tried to teach her how to read, but she was impatient to learn that and did it perfunctorily. Now that she has learned it, she can at most recognize her own name.
Li Qiusui rolled his eyes, "Then go and see if your sister Zhenzhen can read. When you learn how to read and write. Oh, by the way, and you can also compose poems, I will take you to Fucheng.
Meet those ladies."
When Mrs. Liu came over, she met Li Xiuer who was hurriedly going out, "Xiu Xiu, what's going on?"
Li Qiusui spread his hands and became angry from embarrassment!
"This girl is so frizzy." Ms. Liu muttered, took the broom and walked out.
Xia He came back to his senses and said, "Sui Sui, you are so capable! Li Xiuer has a firecracker temper. She is right in everything she says, but she talks a lot of lies. The only way aunt and grandma can deal with her is by taking action."
Even though Li Xiuer was talking about Sister Zhenzhen, she was barking hotly and her temper was getting worse, so Li Zhenzhen had no choice but to give in to her.
Xia He looked at his sister with an increasingly strange look, "Do you think she will still pester you to take her to the city?"
"No!" At least I won't ask for it until I can't memorize the "Three Character Classic". As for after I can memorize it, won't there be "Hundred Family Surnames" and "The Thousand Character Classic"?
"Sui Sui, you are much smarter now than before. Have the Miss Zheng family read a lot of books? Will they bully you?" Xia He suddenly thought of this. Otherwise, his sister is cute and cute, and she has only been here for a few days!
How could there be such a big change!
Mrs. Liu came over just in time to hear these words and raised her eyes to look over.
She didn't want to mention a word about the end of the world. The changes were really big.
Li Qiusui's mind was racing, and he said: "Sister, mother, where have you been thinking of! What kind of temperament does Zheng Ying have? Can you still see it after several days? I haven't seen Mrs. Zheng a few times.
But the people are very kind, and Miss Zheng Wu is innocent and lovely, and is very sincere in her treatment of others, and the second Miss is also well-educated and reasonable. I am really good in the Zheng family! But I suddenly left you, and after reading again, I know more."
"Then this time I have to read more books and do embroidery when I go back. Miss Zheng wants to learn, and you should follow suit." Mrs. Liu's idea was very simple. In short, she wanted to learn more skills.
Li Qiu Sui nodded hurriedly as there was nothing inappropriate about it.
The three days passed in a flash, mushrooms grew, and the group of people who went up the mountain also came down.
The village is not so particular, men and women gather together to watch the fun.
Li Qiu Sui and Cuiping followed Xia He. In the autumn harvest and drying field, more than a dozen wild boars of various sizes were scattered on the ground.
Zheng Ying saw them at a glance, walked over, called Xia He 'cousin', and looked at Li Qiu Sui with excitement in his eyes, "Did you know that this mountain is also called Luoxian Mountain? It is said that gods have landed there.
, some people saw the sky full of glow. But these are not important."
Zheng Ying looked very excited, "Looking from Lijiacun, the mountain is ordinary and no different from other mountains. In fact, there is a whole other world inside the mountain. We walked for two whole days, but we only got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg."
My clothes, which had been flat all day, were wrinkled, my lips were chapped, but my spirit was extremely high.
Li Qiusui listened to what he said with a smile, and said with great disappointment: "Go back and wash up first, you already stink."
This man is so spoiled, how can he persevere?
Zheng Ying glared at her, what kind of look was she? She was really a summer insect and could not speak ice!
Li Qiusui smiled sullenly.
"Sui Sui."
Someone called Suisui again! Li Qiusui stopped smiling and turned his head.
Even if your eyes are swollen from crying, you can still come out to meet people!
Standing next to Li Zhenzhen was a young man who was about the same age as Zheng Ying. He was half a head shorter than her. He had a very good appearance, a small face, and was extremely serious. He had an attitude of keeping away from strangers.
Li Qiusui nodded.
Li Zhenzhen took the initiative to come over, pointed to the young man who was following suit and introduced: "This is Shen Yao who has just moved to our village. His father followed him up the mountain. I heard that he killed a lot of wild animals, so we came out to join in the fun."
I want to talk about home life! We don’t know each other that well, right! Li Qiu Sui’s eyes were strange, he said ‘oh’ and stopped talking.
"This must be Mr. Zheng! I heard that he came to our village as a guest, but he has not been allowed to see him. As expected, Feng Shen is handsome, with orchids and jade trees."
Li Zhenzhen’s familiar appearance makes people unhappy. Mr. Zheng, it’s your turn to judge!
Sure enough, Zheng Ying's face turned dark, and without looking at Li Zhenzhen, he nodded to Li Qiu Sui, turned around and left.
Li Zhenzhen was stunned, her face turned red and white, and she was annoyed, why did she say such a thing!
Li Qiusui watched Li Zhenzhen's face change for a long time, shook his head and prepared to leave.
"Sui Sui, wait a minute." Li Zhenzhen stopped the person and said to Shen Yao who was beside him: "Go and see your father, and I'll talk to my sister."
Just wait a minute, I'm fine, I just want to see what you have to say.
Li Qiusui took two steps back, looking up with his arms folded.
Shen Yao glanced at Li Qiusui, nodded, and left.
Li Zhenzhen watched the person walk away, sighed, made a gesture, and said: "Whether you believe it or not, doing this is the best for your family. We are from the same clan, and my family can still harm you."
Li Qiusui smiled and said, "If you want to say this, I will go home."
There are so many things to do! I’m wasting my time with you on the clichéd wheel talk.
Seeing that the person was impatient, Li Zhenzhen sighed again and then said leisurely: "Sui Sui, do you know Zhuang Zhou Mengdie?"
Here it comes! Li Qiusui lowered his eyelashes to suppress the shock in his eyes, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Li Zhenzhen had something on her mind, and she didn't mind Li Qiu Sui's attitude. She said, "If you hadn't gone to celebrate the occasion, this time the government would have issued a document to apportion corvees, and your family would have had three places. Your uncle is weak and your father is old. Li Changhe is the eldest son and eldest grandson. Your grandparents will definitely be reluctant to leave him. Only your father, your second uncle and your brother-in-law can go. A year or two after your father left, your fourth brother died of a high fever, and you also had a high fever. It was the Shen family who borrowed money to save your life. After that, your brother-in-law was sent home with his leg broken, and there was no news about your father and your second uncle for more than ten years. Later, foreigners from the north invaded the border areas and government offices When it came to recruiting for military service, your cousin and your brother were both adults, so your second brother signed up secretly and left with the government official. When I woke up, I didn’t hear a single bit of news about him."
