Chapter 23 The Rise of the Little Village Girl (1)
Da Mo Dynasty, an ordinary village, an ordinary morning, an ordinary summer.
Although it had just arrived at Mao hour, and the sky was still bright, the smoke from the cooking pots was already rising in Lihua Village.
This is the best proof that women in every household started cooking.
Su Zhan was drowsily sleeping when suddenly a hand reached into her armpit and scratched her hard. Without even opening her eyes, Su Zhan grabbed the restless hand and said, "Sister, please come again."
Let me sleep for a while."
The girl known as Sister pinched her nose with her other hand and said dotingly, "Little lazy pig, get up quickly. Don't forget that we have to celebrate Grandpa's birthday today, so we have to be early."
Su Zhan only received all the memories of this body last night, so he went to bed very late. However, the girl's birthday wish for her grandfather could not be delayed.
She opened her eyes and finally got up from the bed.
The wish-maker in this life is the eleven-year-old girl Li Quyue she is currently possessing, and the sister who woke her up just now is Li Yusheng, the eldest sister among their four siblings.
Li Quyue is the third eldest child, with an older sister, an older brother, and a younger brother.
The eldest sister, Li Yusheng, is sixteen years old this year, as young as a flower. Women in this era can usually get married at this age, so Sister Li is actually engaged.
It's just that the person she is engaged to has to take the imperial examination this year, so the marriage between the two families is suspended for a year. They are just engaged and will not officially get married until next year.
The second brother, Li Xiaoyu, is fourteen years old this year and is studying in a private school. He only has time to go home two days a month, so I won’t talk about it for now.
Li Quyue is the third eldest child. She is eleven years old this year. She is a cheerful little girl. She completely lives up to the meaning of the word Yue in her name and is happy every day.
The youngest one is named Li Qiitu. He is only eight years old this year and is a chubby younger brother.
After talking about the four siblings of the Li family, let’s talk about the Li family.
The Li family has been rooted in Lihua Village for generations. Except for a few families in Lihua Village, all of them have the surname Li.
Father Li was a hard-luck boy. His parents died young and he was raised by his grandparents.
There are two elderly people with a baby, and the two old people only have one son, Father Li. The son, daughter-in-law, and two young people who can work are gone, and the family is more or less in trouble.
Lihua Village is a simple and simple village. Seeing this situation, it is inevitable to help. Today, the East family will give something, and the West family will give something.
Although they are just some worthless food and things made by each family at home, this is the custom of people in the countryside.
Even when the Li family's grandparents passed away, the whole village helped organize the funeral and prepare a banquet.
After Li's father grew up, he kept this kindness in his heart and never forgot it. He was a smart man, and he was willing to endure hardship. He bought a family business in a few years and married Li's mother, a village beauty from Xinghua Village next door.
His wife gave birth to four children. She is the best example of a peasant boy turning over and taking charge.
Father Li is a man who has seen the world and understands the principle of friendship and hatred. He does not take over everything in Lihua Village, but he steps in to solve some problems that the villagers cannot solve.
For things that villagers usually ask him for, if he can't do it, he will clearly explain the pros and cons to the other party, making sure to let the other party know that he can't solve everything.
Father Li has seen a lot of things about people competing for rice and grudges outside. He doesn't want the Lihua Village in his memory to become the kind of person who only knows how to ask for things from him.
After doing this several times, Li's father's status became very important in the entire Lihua Village. Some villagers who originally had some sarcastic remarks about him after he became rich did not dare to say anything more.
Li's mother is from Xinghua Village next door. Her parents are still alive. It was Li's mother who Sister Li Yusheng said she was congratulating her grandpa on his birthday.
In addition, Li's mother also has an elder brother and a younger brother. The elder brother is good at carpentry, which is passed down from his family, and his craftsmanship is very good, and he is very famous in several surrounding villages.
My younger brother works as a cashier in a restaurant in the town, and his monthly income is quite considerable.
Mother Li herself is also very agile. While she cleans her house every day, she also cleans her children.
This dynasty does not preach that it is virtue for women not to have talent. There is even a female general guarding the southwest for the court. Although there are very few women who are famous, it is not impossible.
So Li's mother can go out to do business with Li's father in her spare time.
The Li family could have continued to live without worries about food and clothing, but it was a pity that the sky was unpredictable and people had misfortunes and misfortunes, and a disaster destroyed everything.
After Su Zhan got up, he went to a nearby room and picked up Li Qiitu, who was sleeping soundly.
The Li couple lived in one room, and Su Zhan and elder sister Li Li Yusheng lived in the same room. Originally, younger brother Li should live with second brother Li.
However, when Brother Li is away from home, we can't let an eight-year-old child like Brother Li live alone in a room.
Therefore, he usually lives with the Li family and his wife.
The younger brother of the Li family had a chubby face. When Su Zhan picked him up, he was still dazed and kept rubbing his eyes.
Su Zhan couldn't help but pinch his face, and it turned out to be soft.
At this moment, Sister Li, who had gone out after waking up Su Zhan, walked in, looked at the two siblings playing in a funny way, and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, your parents are waiting for you to eat."
Even though Sister Li only wears simple clothes and only has a wooden hairpin on her head, she can't hide her bright and beautiful features.
After Li Xiaodi woke up, he remembered what he was going to do today and quickly asked, "Will the second brother be back today?"
Sister Li shook her head regretfully. The private school where Brother Li worked was very strict. In addition to the stipulated holidays, the school would only make exceptions for holidays unless there was a major event such as a death or serious illness in the family.
For example, if the student's grandpa celebrates his birthday, it is not a big birthday. The private school will not take a holiday.
After all, in this day and age, basically everyone has a long list of relatives.
If every student asks for leave today because of this relative's birthday, and tomorrow because of that elder's birthday, do their private schools still need to teach knowledge? Wouldn't it be enough to just teach students to sing birthday greetings every day?
In order to prevent this situation, the private school set this rule inhumanely.
Of course, even so, because this private school has two successful masters, it is still the best private school within a hundred miles.
This is also the reason why Li's father sent the second brother Li there. If nothing else happens, when the younger brother Li grows up, he will also enter that private school.
When he heard that his brother was not coming back, Li Xiaodi was disappointed. He had two sisters at home. The eldest sister had to help the family, and the third sister bullied him all day long. He wanted the second brother to come back and play with him.
Li Xiaodi, whose face was about to be kneaded into dough by Su Zhan, thought with a grimace.
Su Zhan squinted his eyes, stretched out his finger to poke the little bun's face according to Li Quyue's temperament in his memory, and said with a malicious smile, "What are you thinking? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Although Little Brother Li is young, he still has a strong desire to survive. He looked at his sister pitifully and said weakly, "I'm not, I don't have it. Don't talk nonsense."
"Xiao Qiuqiu, were you saying I was talking nonsense just now?" Su Zhan pulled his cheek and said with a smile.
Little brother Li screamed and looked at the elder sister who was leaning forward and back with laughter, and almost cried.
He just said that among the brothers and sisters, only the second brother was the best to him, while the eldest sister and the third sister only knew how to bully him all day long.
Sister Li laughed for a while, until she saw enough excitement, and then she rescued Little Brother Li from the clutches of the female devil.
"Okay, stop bullying him." Sister Li glared at Su Zhan, and then she couldn't help laughing.
Su Zhan's lips curled up slightly, then he and Sister Li cleaned up the little guy, and the three of them walked out together.
After having dinner with Father Li and Mother Li, the group headed towards Xinghua Village next door.
Su Zhan looked around from the bullock cart and looked at the scenery outside. It was different from the modern high-rise buildings. Everything here revealed the most primitive and natural style that had not been artificially carved. Even the air seemed to have a sweet smell.
But Su Zhan knew that in the near future, everything here would be destroyed, and the Li family would also be shattered.
The way Su Zhan kept looking outside caught Li's father's attention. He asked with a smile, "San'er, what are you looking at? Are you looking so attentively?"
The special word "three" left Su Zhan speechless, who had just escaped from the modern world. However, there was no such term in this era, so she naturally would not ask Father Li to change his name inexplicably.
Compared with her third brother, she actually sympathized with Brother Li. He was obviously a smart young man, but he still had to be called "one or two" by others.
But if truth theory 3 or 2 is more irritating, then it can only be a matter of opinion.
Su Zhan comforted himself that he had a second person at home to accompany him anyway, so he didn't need to care about the modern meaning of three.
Although Xinghua Village is right next to Lihua Village, their place is in a remote place, and you often have to be several hills away to see a village.
It took more than an hour for the Li family to finally arrive at Xinghua Village next door. As soon as they entered the village, they rushed towards Li's mother's house as they knew the way.
Li's mother's elder brother and younger brother were already married, so naturally, Su Zhan and Li Xiaodi were surrounded by a bunch of little carrot heads as soon as they arrived.
Su Zhan counted the little carrot heads present. Very good, there were five in total, not counting the cousins who were already older children next to them.
Su Zhan, who knew about modern family planning, couldn't help but touch his forehead. Just two couples had so many children. In the modern era of population explosion, it is unimaginable.
