Li Benshan sighed and said helplessly: "Uncle Li Zheng has been implicated. Should we go over and take a look?"
It's a favor to go and see, but more importantly, it's to help the children.
As the saying goes: A person's mouth has two skins, so what you say makes sense.
It would be bad if Zhao was allowed to confuse right and wrong and accuse several children of being unfilial.
Zhao often did this kind of thing to discredit the second wife of their first wife.
So, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li brought two more kilograms of sugar snowballs and a jug of wine to visit Li Zheng who had suffered a terrible disaster.
There was a scene on New Year's Eve. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family went around the old house to pay New Year's greetings.
After visiting the hometowns of several clans, Li Benshan sent his children home. He still wanted to visit his biological father.
In fact, he also had resentment in his heart.
How could several children who went to pay New Year greetings be beaten if their biological father had been strong?
My biological father, the head of the family, is very capable. If several children go to pay New Year's greetings, who would dare to hit him!
But the blame can only be buried in the bottom of my heart. That is his biological father. If his biological father cannot help him, what can he do?
Xiaomian said worriedly: "Second uncle, it's better not to go. I've suffered a loss over there and there's been no movement. I'm probably just waiting for you to come today."
Li Benshan was speechless.
Yes, with Zhao's temper, how could he suffer?
But today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and people with foreign surnames have to pay New Year greetings to each other. It doesn't make sense for him as a son not to visit his biological father.
At this time, some people from the village came over. After paying New Year greetings to each other, someone asked worriedly: "Is Benshan leading the children to see your father coming?"
I just spanked the children yesterday, are these kids still moving forward?
Li Benshan glanced at the children. He wanted to lead them there, but the children refused.
Xiaomian said quickly: "We want to kowtow to grandpa, but we don't dare to go."
Li Benshan sighed quickly and said: "Yes, my mother's temper is better avoided by the children, so as not to make the elderly unhappy because of the Chinese New Year."
A few aunts also came over quickly to persuade me: "Yes, don't go today. It will cost the children a lot of trouble. Alas, you will have such a hind milk."
Sanshun: "Dad, I'm scared."
An aunt said distressedly: "If you don't want to go if you want to scare the child, don't go. No one will say anything. The child is young, so don't scare him."
Yes, it’s not that they don’t go, it’s that they don’t dare to go. It’s because they don’t want to make the elderly unhappy.
It would be filial piety for them not to go.
Xiaomian felt relieved immediately, and happily followed her sister in calling the ladies and aunts. The auspicious words came out for free.
The children went home, and Li Benshan went to his old house.
In the old house, Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter's face and felt very distressed.
Although this is a slap in the face, the culprits are still those scoundrels.
"Mom, my face won't be disfigured, right?"
Li Xiangyuan cried and insisted on letting her mother avenge her.
"Mom, I'm going to scratch those two bitches' faces, I'm going to blind their eyes and tear their stinking mouths apart."
"Good girls, we won't cry. Don't worry, I won't spare them."
These bastards have changed and become rebellious.
In the past, when she beat people, several bastards and the mother who wrapped the bastard didn't dare to move and stood there waiting for her to hit them. But now it's better, not only do they dodge, but they dare to fight back!
It seems that I can't force myself anymore.
A group of water dogs have become wolf dogs. They can bite people if they can't be beaten. If you want to control this group of beasts,
Gotta outwit you!
Mrs. Zhao has fierce eyes. If she dares to bully her daughters, she will find an opportunity to break their legs.
It was at this time that Li Benshan came to the door.
Li Xiangyuan was beaten and beaten in the room, and vicious words came out one after another.
Old Man Li said nothing with a dark face.
Although Mrs. Zhao's face was not good, she kindly asked Li Benshan to eat before leaving.
Li Benshan kowtowed to his ancestors, didn't say a word to his biological father, and went home as if he was running away.
"Eh? Second uncle, why are you so fast?"
Didn't you reach the old house?
She just said, what are you going to do? Looking for abuse?
Mrs. Li also said: "If you don't want to go, don't go. Our father won't do anything wrong with you."
Li Benshan said softly: "I'm going, there's something wrong with our stepmother. I don't dare to stay longer."
"What's wrong? Did she scold you? Or hit you with a broom?"
Li Benshan frowned so hard that he could kill a fly.
He lowered his voice and said, "She didn't hit or scold her, but she still asked me to eat? That's why I felt so scared."
"Ah? This is indeed strange. Isn't it because you are holding back some evil plot?"
Mrs. Song suddenly said: "From now on, don't eat the food from the old house, even the food sent by our father."
Li Xiaomian frowned, did Zhao want to give him a gentle blow?
You're not really stupid enough to poison someone, are you?
The Xiaomian family didn't know what evil Zhao was holding back. Even if they knew, they could only take precautions.
If they don't take action, they can't just sit back and wait.
Because there was a temple fair, the Li family started work on the fifth day of the lunar new year.
I was busy until the 20th of the first lunar month.
The New Year has passed, the festival has passed, and the hawthorns at home have been used up.
Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li cleaned the house and then sat on the kang to count the coins.
After a winter of hard work, the Li family earned a net income of five to three dollars.
Five twos and threes make the whole family happy.
Li said regretfully: "It's a pity that we are not as popular as Shanlihong. Otherwise, we can still sell them for a while."
Damai: "How about we buy this vacant land to the east and plant some mountain mangroves ourselves. Then we won't have to worry about mountain mangroves in winter."
Li asked hesitantly: "That will cost a lot of money, right?"
Mrs. Song thought for a while and said: "Dazhu and Erwang are going to school, Shu Xiu has to stay, and we have to build another house..."
You don’t have enough money to buy land!
Li Benshan said sheepishly: "Sister-in-law, why don't we go back to our old house to live there."
He used his sister-in-law's money for medical treatment and used his sister-in-law's money to build a house. He felt that he couldn't hold his head high.
Mrs. Li tugged on her man's sleeve, not wanting him to continue talking.
She doesn't want to go back to her old house.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't build a house two years later, we can live together and it will be lively."
Mrs. Song smiled and said: "Building a house doesn't mean dividing it up. Let's expand the yard to the east and build three main rooms."
By building three main rooms, it will be much more spacious for the family to live in. There is no need for Ben Shan to be too restrained.
The weather is getting warmer.
After the wheat was poured over with anti-green water for the first time, the construction of Xiaomian's new house also started.
At the same time, Dazhu and Erwang also entered the county school.
In Daqingshan, most houses are built with stone foundations and mud walls on top.
Of course, there are also houses built with blue bricks and large tiles. For example, the Li Zheng family, such as the Li family courtyard.
The Song family discussed with the second house and decided to build a higher stone foundation and an earthen wall structure made of wheat straw and mud. Two layers of reeds and wattle fences were added on top.
This kind of house is considered relatively good in the village.
All the young and middle-aged people in the village who are free come to help. Of course, we can't let people help for free and pay for their work.
It was crowded and lively, and new houses were being built in full swing.
Xiao Mian and Xiao Dao's mission is to keep an eye on Xiao Sanshun.
Ever since this kid heard that a new house was built for him, he would rush into the construction site from time to time. No matter what kind of work he could do, he wanted to help.
Not helpful.
There were stones, mud, scratches, iron shovels, etc. under his feet. The adults were working with tools, and they accidentally hit him.
too dangerous.
So, two bodyguards were specially assigned to watch him.
