In mid-November, snow had already begun to fall in Qingshan Village. The school in the village was on holiday. Even Li Youzhi, who was in the county school, also went home for the holiday. Yuezhen met the legendary fifth uncle for the first time. Li Youzhi also called his real uncle
He is a handsome young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, already over 1.7 meters tall. He is wearing a blue robe, a square scarf of the same color on his head, and a cloak made of black fine cotton with a rabbit fur lining.
, maybe because he has not been exposed to the sun for many years, his skin color looks a bit abnormally white, he looks a bit thin, and his facial features are rare among the Li family brothers. Yue Zhen thinks the first impression is not bad.
Li Youzhi was a very polite person. As soon as he came back, he went to the main room and gave a big gift to Old Man Li and his wife. Old Man Li and his wife were so happy that Mrs. Feng even kept saying, "Oh, you're so stupid!" and kept saying it.
She said "I've lost weight, I've lost weight" and looked like she couldn't help but love her. Yue Zhen secretly pursed her lips and thought to herself: They all say that their parents love their youngest son. It's really true. Even if Mrs. Feng doesn't care for her most beloved aunt, she doesn't care.
Treat me one-tenth of the way you treat your brother-in-law.
Li Youzhi's return mobilized the whole family, and the main room was full of people. Li Youzhi greeted his brothers and sisters-in-law one by one, and asked some of his nephews who were in school about their knowledge. Even his nieces remembered it.
I brought some headbands and snacks, etc., and the children were all smiles and were so happy that even Erlang and Shilang had a rare smile.
"Third brother and sister-in-law, I'm so sorry for my brother. I couldn't even come back to see my three little nephews when they were one month old. It's really just the exam in the autumn of the year after next. It's only been more than a year. Master, this subject wants to
I went to give it a try, so I held on very tightly. Here is the peace charm that I specially asked my wife to ask for in Datong Temple. It was personally blessed by the abbot, and I gave it to my three nephews to keep them safe." Li Youzhi.
First, he bowed his hands and apologized, then took out three peace charms from the purse he carried with him and handed them to Li Sanzhi.
Everyone in the family looked honored when they heard that the master asked her to take part in the autumn examination the year after next. You know, the masters in this county school are all famous for their achievements, and the master who taught Li Youzhi was even more famous.
There are several people who have been promoted to Jinshi. This master took the initiative to ask him to take part in the autumn examination, which proved that he was at least five points sure. Li Sanzhi and his wife were even more happy with smiles and gratitude on their faces. For parents, there is nothing that they care about most than their children.
When you are healthy, this gift is sent to your heart.
"Third brother, you are too polite. It's really not worth bothering with the three of them!" Datong Temple is very popular, and it is rare for ordinary people to ask for a peace charm personally blessed by the abbot. This is a rare and good gift for the ancients.
Yuezhen sighed at the side: Her brother-in-law is really a master of public relations. At this level, he is born to be an official. Is this a bad thing that will produce good things?
"That's right, I'm afraid it took a lot of effort to beg your wife for these three stupid kids! We won't be allowed to do this in the future. None of our farm children are so precious!" Mrs. Feng said when she saw this.
He said with a distressed face, as if he was asking for a peace charm that Li Youzhi had gone to the mountains and into the sea.
"Mom, I see what you said. My brother and sister-in-law have made the whole family's life miserable in order to support me in my entrance examination. There's only so much I can do. If my wife hadn't happened to go up the mountain to worship Buddha this time, I wouldn't be able to do it.
Come to the Peace Talisman, as long as my nephews are safe, this little thing is nothing. Compared to what my brothers have done for me, I am really ashamed!"
"What Lao Wu said is right. Your brothers and sisters-in-law have sacrificed a lot for you. You have to study hard and take exams. If you do well in the future, don't forget your brothers!" Old Man Li's biggest wish in his life is for his youngest son.
If you can be admitted to Jinshi, become an official, honor your ancestors, and then help and take care of your brothers, your whole family can live a good life. For this goal, even if you have to sacrifice something, Old Man Li thinks it is worth it. This is why Old Man Li is such a good person.
An impartial person could see why Feng was depriving the third room and the fourth room was still tolerating it.
"Dad, I must remember this, and I will never forget everything my brothers and sisters-in-law have done for me in the future!"
"Okay, okay, don't talk so much. The child must be tired just after he came back. Let him rest first! Take your brothers and sisters to buy some food for the elder's family. As for the third family's, you can't touch it yet.
Leng Shui, please go back to your room to take care of the children first, and buy some clothes for Youzhi to wear!" When Mrs. Feng saw her son coming back, she was in a rare good mood. She gave a series of orders to people, and then personally sent her son back to her room and ordered Mrs. Liu to do the following.
There was no mention of taking out the fabric for the clothes, just that. When Mrs. Feng gave the order, she still looked like I'm merciful to you. If it weren't for the fact that the Liu family in the family had the best female celebrities, Feng probably wouldn't have ordered Liu to do it.
, For Mrs. Feng, it is a great blessing that Mrs. Liu can make clothes for her son, a scholar. She also does not want to think that there are three scholars in the Liu family!
Mrs. Liu was too lazy to argue with Mrs. Feng. In her opinion, her brother-in-law was a rare thoughtful person and his knowledge was also very good. Mrs. Liu was not a country fool. She had read several books and was very familiar with her brother-in-law's knowledge.
I still agree. My son also wants to go to school. In the future, he will inevitably need his brother-in-law to take care of him. This will be a big help! This is also the common thought of several daughters-in-law of the Li family. Otherwise, Xiao Feng would not do this.
He served Li Youzhi without any regrets.
That night, the Li family killed chickens and roasted pigs, and brought out all the delicious food and drinks in the house. The men and women of the family divided the tables into two, and the rare money was enough to take care of it. Li Youzhi was not a greedy person, even though Feng
After repeatedly picking up vegetables for his son, under Li Youzhi's care, the children in the third room of the Li family were still able to eat a few more pieces of meat than usual.
The day after Li Youzhi came back, he sold three of the four big fat pigs that he had fed for a year to the butcher in the town because of the good prices during the twelfth lunar month. The remaining one was also sold half to people in the village who had not butchered the pigs.
.The family's oil and water suddenly became abundant. Even though most of the pigs were sold, there were still hundreds of kilograms of meat left. Old man Li was concerned about face, and he cooked the butchered pig dishes honestly, so that Li Changhe, who came to eat the butchered pig rice,
The clan elders were full of praise. However, this is also the reason why there are two scholars in the family. Although it is common for families who are familiar with each other to eat pig-killing rice, the village chief and clan elders who have certain power in the village cannot
Not every family will go there, but it is a blessing for the whole village to have a scholar from eight villages in ten miles. Not to mention that there are two in the family, and one of them can be called a young genius. The people in the village just respect him and give him face. If Li Youzhi passes the exam,
It's different when it comes to lifting people up.
Although Ms. Liu was taking good care of her body with the elixirs in Yuezhen's space, her body had been strained for a long time and she had given birth several times. She didn't even mention taking good care of herself during the period. She didn't even do enough confinement when she was busy. Her health was severely damaged. I was afraid that time
The unprocessed ginseng went bad. Ms. Liu forced herself to go to the county town. When she came back, she had abdominal pain and cold hands and feet. Li Sanzhi felt distressed and did not let Ms. Liu go out to do housework. Feng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were angry but had no choice but to
This increased the work of the children in the third room. The boys went to the mountains to collect firewood all day long, and Yuezhen helped with the dishes and sweeping the floor.
Early in the morning on the pig-killing day, Yuezhen was assigned to sweep the floor and boil water. She once again saw her uncle's extraordinary social skills. Although Yuezhen's uncle Li Dazhi is also a scholar, he is always a bit arrogant and looks down on mud-legged people.
Even though he tried his best to suppress his nature when accompanying him to dinner, he was still not as good as his brother-in-law who always smiled warmly and had the demeanor of a handsome scholar. The people he talked to, even if they were rude village women, he always had a smile that made people laugh.
I feel that he is listening to you very seriously and respectfully, which makes you feel like a spring breeze. The village chief and the clan elders all enjoyed the meal, and Old Man Li and his wife were also beaming with glory, smiling so much that they couldn't close their mouths.
After finishing the meal and chatting for a while, the village chief and the clan elders took their leave and prepared to leave. Feng had already packed up the gifts for the village elders and village elders, which were only two pounds of meat and a bag of cakes for each family.
Farmers don’t pay much attention to giving gifts, they are mostly practical things. The heavy snow here will not fall until early February of the next year, so most of the New Year gifts are given early, otherwise it will snow and you will not be able to go out.
It would be rude not to give a gift. Old Man Li took each piece and gave it to the village chief and clan elders.
Yuezhen has been standing aside waiting, preparing to add food and tea to the guests. In ancient times, men and women had different seats at the age of seven. Although there was not so much emphasis in the village, on occasions like this, the younger daughter-in-law and the older daughter-in-law
It wouldn't happen either. Logically, there was no need for Yuezhen to show up when there were so many male grandchildren in the family to help serve the dishes. Feng didn't know what to make of it, so she insisted that Yuezhen wait and help. Yuezhen didn't think much about it.
, she is still a little lolita who is over five years old anyway, and her voice is milky, which makes her vomit. What can others say? Yuezhen is on the side, generously helping to add rice and tea, and has a sweet and well-behaved mouth.
The appearance made a good impression on the village chief and village elders.
"Zhen'er is so well-behaved at such a young age, and she takes the initiative to help, which is worthy of praise! Come, let's see what this is?" Li Youzhi picked up Yuezhen after eating and said very affectionately, while taking out a small packet of oil paper bags from his arms.
The candy came and was handed to Yuezhen.
"Uncle, that's so nice!" Yue Zhen was happy to cooperate. She hugged Li Youzhi's neck and took the candy. She took a small piece and put it in her mouth. She took another piece and stuffed it into Li Youzhi's mouth before wrapping it and putting it in.
She held it in her arms and said, "It's so sweet and delicious! Thank you, uncle. Uncle, you can have a piece too!" He looked cute and well-behaved. Li Youzhi's words were very important at home, and Yuezhen was happy to be well-behaved.
"Haha, Zhen'er is so good and filial!" Li Youzhi said with a smile on his face, and quickly finished the candy. This scene of uncle and nephew making love made the Li family and the village chiefs and clan elders who had not left couldn't help but laugh.
Now, I have a better impression of Li Youzhi.
After seeing off the elders, Yuezhen stopped acting and coquettishly let the silent Li Sanzhi carry her back to the room. She happily divided out half of the candy and brought it to the room before taking the candy to the main room for dinner.
She was going to share the food with the brothers and sisters in several rooms, but Mrs. Liu couldn't help but call her "little person" in a funny way. Even Li Sanzhi also curled up his lips, which made Yuezhen a little shy. In her previous life, she was almost thirty.
Why am I doing such a childish thing now? I really feel like I am going back to my old age as I live. There are so few snacks that I can usually eat, so Yue Zhen couldn't help but think of her brothers.
