The commotion continued until there was a sound of pushing the door in the west room, and Li Hui called for gold to withdraw his troops. He contentedly hugged his already comatose wife to sleep.
At the end of the day, Li Yue and Li Heng, two siblings, came back and took away all the moon cakes and food.
Seeing that there was no Yan Yixin, Li Tian asked curiously:
"Sister, why isn't Brother Yixin back?"
"Brother Yixin is on duty today and won't be able to go home until the end of Shen Shi." Li Yue replied, "Are mom and dad awake?"
Li Tian shook his head, pointed at Li Huai who was pouting at the side, and complained:
"My parents are so tired, and he still wants to make trouble in the east room without being sensible. I have stopped him several times. Sister, you can't let him go this time!"
Every time she complained, Li Tian was merciless. But every time Li Huai was punished, she was the one who felt the most distressed. Li Yue was helpless, but he did not forget to make a silent gesture to remind her to keep her voice down and don't let her down.
Li Heng heard.
Not long after, Li Heng came out of the warehouse, walked up to his sister with a doting look on his face, and asked:
"Tiantian, are you good today, Sidan? Are our parents up yet?"
The conversation between several children in the courtyard finally woke up Cheng Xue, who was still sleeping.
Looking at Daliang's house, and then at Li Hui who didn't know when to open his eyes, he raised his hand angrily and beat him hard.
"Noisy, noisy, no restraint, why do you want me to see anyone today?"
The daybreak in the north is later than that in Liaodong. Now the light has to be straight even if it is not noon. She is extremely embarrassed.
Li Hui knew he was in the wrong, so he obediently received a few punches.
"Don't worry, I told Bai Shao that you weren't feeling well, and both Tiantian and Si Dan know it. Since I came to Beijing to take the exam, I only indulged once yesterday, and I won't do it again in the future."
Cheng Xue softened her heart, raised her hand and gently touched the place where she had just beaten, and said harshly:
"I dare to say that in the future, I will let you lay the floor in the future."
"Yes, yes, we will build a floor." Li Hui disagreed. Anyway, she was just talking, "By the way, wife, after the holiday I have to organize the suppression of bandits in Mopan Mountain. After that, I will have to go out for two months for inspection. I will probably come back."
At the end of the year, you have to work harder at home, and I will reward you when you come back."
Cheng Xue wanted to say that there was no need to "reward" her, but now was not the time for couples to play tricks.
"Yixin is going?"
"I won't go during the period of suppressing bandits. I will go during inspections."
"Then you take Dexi and the four of them away. Just keep Tiandong, Gastrodia, Baiwei and Baizhu at home."
Seeing her thinking about him so much, Li Hui felt warm in his heart and suddenly leaned forward for a kiss.
"No, Wen Tian is coming with me. Dexi and Chengxi will be left here for you. Don't you have to go to the market every three days? It will be convenient for you if you have more manpower. Once the bandits are eliminated, the caravan can come here.
The economy will naturally rise."
Cheng Xue nodded, got up to get dressed, shook his stiff neck twice, and asked again:
"When will you be back tomorrow? Will you be on duty for one day or one night?"
"Just one day." Li Hui replied.
"Then I will bring food over at noon tomorrow and eat with you. Who will you be on duty with?"
"Tomorrow it's me and my colleague. We don't have to take his share. I'll drive them away before noon, so you can come over. Let's have barbecue tonight. We haven't had it in a long time. It's in the yard, it's lively."
"The yard is definitely not good. It's too cold at night." Cheng Xue shook his head, "Let's eat barbecue in the kitchen. The place is big. It's just us with the door closed. It can just fit in. Dexi, Bai Wei and the others haven't eaten yet.
.”
"Yes, I'll listen to you." Li Hui had no objection.
The couple got dressed while they were talking, and the children in the yard heard the noise and came into the house one after another.
Because Li Heng, Li Yue, and Li Tian were blocking him, Li Huai could only stand outside and shout at the top of his voice——
"Mom, are you feeling better? My sister and my brother won't let me in the house. I... uh uh uh..."
You know without asking that someone must have covered your mouth.
"Come in, we're all up. Tangtang, Tiedan, is the porridge going well today?"
As soon as Cheng Xue spoke, four children came in one after another. Li Huai was young and couldn't get the slot, so he walked at the back. Gao, who had a pout, was obviously not in a good mood.
"Pfft--" Li Hui laughed without giving face. Li Huai threw himself into his mother's arms unhappily, accusing his father with his eyes.
Cheng Xue gently comforted the young one, then asked Li Yue and Li Heng:
"How's it going outside today? Is everything going well?"
"Very good." Li Yue replied calmly.
Li Heng, on the other hand, curled his lips and said angrily:
"Why can't it go smoothly? How can someone mess with the things that are given to me for free? Mom, you said that all the big men don't need to support me if they are diligent, but they not only have to support me, but they also ask me why I don't get fat during the holidays.
.They still owe them what they deserve, why should they be given meat?
After the donation, my brother took me and my sister and took a ride outside the city. I didn’t expect that there would be so much wasteland outside the city, and no one was cultivating it. Later I asked the people passing by, and they said that even if they planted it, it would be stolen, so why not
No. This is simply making excuses for them to be lazy, greedy and greedy."
Seeing the child's face full of righteous indignation, Cheng Xue was not only relieved but also felt heartbroken.
I feel sorry for the difficulties Li Hui will face in the coming year, and I feel even more sorry for the difficult road Li Heng will have to take in the future.
A gust of wind blew by, startling her. She turned around and saw Li Hui folding the quilt, she smiled and shook her head.
"Mom, did I say something wrong?"
Seeing that Li Heng misunderstood, he shook his head and waved his hands and said:
"No, you are right. Mom just laments that time flies by so fast. In a blink of an eye, my son has grown up and become sensible. Mom will be able to let you go out with peace of mind in the future."
"Really? Mom, can you really let me out with confidence?"
Seeing him so excited, Cheng Xue was a little confused.
"Is this true or false? Aren't you going out with Mr. Wen Tian to practice?"
"Mom, can I ask you something?"
"What's going on?"
"no!"
Before Li Heng could answer, Li Hui refused directly. Cheng Xue turned to look at her husband, even more confused.
What's wrong? What kind of riddles are they and their son trying to solve? Can you explain it?
Li Hui put down the quilt in his hand and said in a gloomy tone:
"He wants to follow him to Mopan Mountain to suppress bandits. Isn't this nonsense! As long as he is as big as Tangtang, I will agree to it."
"Dad, my sister and I are only two years apart."
"It's only half an hour away. What's wrong with being two years old? When your sister was running around at two years old, you pooped on your daddy and you didn't even know it!"
"Dad!" Li Heng was annoyed, and his eyes looked exactly like Li Hui's.
He is no longer the seven-year-old brat he used to be. Being accused of betraying someone so blatantly would be embarrassing for anyone. Especially Li Huai's eyes widened now, as if he had eaten something shocking.
Cheng Xue glared at Li Hui, comforted Li Heng and said:
"My good son, you want to contribute to the people, and my mother supports it, but your father is right, you are still young, please wait."
"What are you waiting for, mother? Master and I have gone into the mountains many times..."
"Then let your master tell mom. As long as your master agrees, mom will have no objection."
"Okay!" Li Heng jumped three feet high, proudly shouted "hum" to his father, and then Le Dian Dian went out.
Cheng Xue had a headache and winked at Li Yue. The little girl quickly took her brother and sister out of the east room...
