Chapter 41 Three feet of ice does not last in a day
Touching the thick winter coat, Cheng Xue was puzzled.
"If you are wearing it now, what will you wear in the next 39 days?"
"I..." Li Hui was speechless.
If he had a modern body, Sanjiutian would only have one pair of long johns at most, and wearing velvet pants would not be his character. But it can’t be done now. The child is too young and the medical conditions are limited. Once a cold is transmitted to the child, he will be a sinner!
When he was struggling, Mrs. Liu came from the west room, put down the things in her hands and said:
"You left me a lot of materials. I don't need much, so I took Tangtang with me. Sister Wan made some thin cotton-padded clothes for you. A thin layer of cotton is ready. It's best to wear them now.
It’s said that spring covers us and autumn freezes, but our bodies are our own, and besides, we have children, so we should all wear warm clothes.”
Cheng Xue took the clothes and touched them, and found that they were indeed much thinner than normal winter clothes.
"Thank you, auntie, I don't even know what to say. You and Sister Wan not only help look after the house, but also take care of the children. You also feed chickens and dogs, and now you make cotton-padded clothes for us..."
"That's a heretic. How much do you want to give me?" Ms. Liu quickly interrupted Cheng Xue.
In her opinion, her nephew's family paid more. They provided materials and golden lilacs, and they also helped the son-in-law plan his future.
"I just made a few sets of clothes, and they are obviously not comparable to what you make. Huizi quickly change into them and go out to exercise. Xue Niang will lie down for a while, her body will be just fine."
After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she didn't stay too long and went out with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other, found out their thin cotton clothes and put them on. It was good that someone was thinking about them. If they hadn't improved their relationship with their uncle's family, I still don't know how it would have ended today.
Cheng Xue went to the ground to put on her shoes, tucked the children in, and went out to make medicine.
Mrs. Liu came back from scooping out noodles and was stunned. She walked a few steps quickly and asked:
"Why did you endure it again? Didn't you say you were fine? Did you lie to me?"
"No." Cheng Xue quickly shook her head, "Auntie, don't think blindly, this is for Hui Zi. He wants to try it again next year, so I gave him a few tonics from the county to regulate his body."
You can't say how to clean up the remaining poison. If Yu Huai knows about it, it will be easy to scare the snake.
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said while making noodles:
"Huizi just insists on taking the scientific examination. Even if he is selected as a scholar, Li Fang, that old kid, won't dare to bully you. If Huizi wants to succeed, be promoted, or be the number one scholar, Li Fang will have to keep his tail between his legs."<
/p>
Do you behave with your tail between your legs?
No, that would be too cheap for him...
……
Li Hui took his two children and Huzi and ran around the village twice.
I thought Yan Yixin wouldn't be able to hold on, but it turned out to be okay, except that I was wheezing from exhaustion.
Li Hui asked Li Heng to take Huzi home first, while he took the child to Jiang Jianye.
Although Cheng Xue went to report yesterday, the child still had to show up, salute, and show respect.
Arriving at Jiang's house, after a brief introduction, Yan Yixin stood up straight, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and saluted solemnly.
"Yixin has met Grandpa Li Zheng. He will definitely abide by the rules of Wanghe Village in the future. Grandpa Li Zheng will take care of him more."
Jiang Jianye looked at the well-mannered child and nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't believe that this was the orphan of Li Hui's classmate, he had gone through a clear path, and his wife gave him three more pieces of food yesterday, so he had to keep his eyes open no matter what.
Close one eye and one eye.
"No gifts, little one. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. As long as you don't cause trouble first, Grandpa Li Zheng will stand by you. Huizi, have you told the clan?"
"No, but they should know." Li Hui replied calmly.
A carriage stopped in front of his house, and he deliberately took his children to run around the village twice. It was difficult not to know!
It is estimated that someone has already gone to the house by now.
Three feet of ice does not last a day.
Jiang Jianye knew that he had a strong opinion against the clan, so he did not intend to persuade him. After all, the Li clan members did too much.
"Okay, you just have to know what you're doing. I heard your wife tell you yesterday that I got some tonic for you. Take good care of yourself and try to come back as a scholar next spring."
"Okay, I appreciate your kind words." Li Hui thanked him and left with Yan Yixin.
The two left the Jiang family and met many villagers along the way. Li Hui generously introduced Yan Yixin to the villagers. Within a morning, the whole village knew that there were many children in Li Hui's family.
As for the Li family, they are already in such trouble that even Li Fang banging the table is useless.
"In previous years, we had already paid the family food by this time, so why won't our family pay it this year?"
"That's right, Second Uncle, if you don't accept the food from the clan over there, you have to force us to pay it. You don't do that!"
"That's not true! His family has a lot of land, and now they are adopting children without paying the clan's food. Why don't they help the children of our clan? You can't write two Lis in one sentence!"
"That's right, the day of conscription is coming soon, is there any chance of spending money to buy it?"
"Do you think there's drama?" Li Fang asked immediately, and the yard suddenly became quiet.
Li Qingshan, who originally planned to run away in the corner, had to go back and sit down now. He works on the forest farm on weekdays and rarely participates in clan discussions. If the forest farm had not closed the accounts and everyone went home to rest, he would not have come here.
Suffer.
Seeing that everyone was finally quiet, Li Fang continued to maintain his airs and said:
"I'm just going to say it once. If you want to listen, just listen. If you don't listen, please don't tell me that the clan doesn't care. The child he adopted is the nephew of the county magistrate. The yamen said that they will come to the village to visit every now and then. They should all be more honest.
, frustrated and provoked.
Also, from now on, the family rations for your children's studies must be handed in on time. If you have the ability, go to that family and get it. I don't care what you do, anyway, you can't miss a grain of rice. Now it's all gone.
, do what you have to do, don’t nag me over here, I’m annoyed.”
As soon as Li Qingshan heard this, he ran away. There were a few people who wanted to complain to Li Fang again, but before they could speak, Li Qingnian carried a broom and drove them out of the yard.
The clan members left one after another, and finally only Li Fang, Li Xiang, Li Qingnian and Li Qingchuan were left in the yard.
Li Fang got up, took them into the study, and said:
"Kuanzi will go to work on the forestry farm next year and don't worry about anything else. You should study hard and try to pass the exam in the spring of next year. Listening to what the yamen officer said today, I can no longer hold on to family studies.
If you don't live up to expectations, Hui Zi will really take over, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, dad, I'm ready."
With a smile on his face, Li Fang kept sharing his experience in the scientific examination with his son.
When Li Xiang saw this, his face was expressionless and he didn't say a word.
He knew in his heart that Li Qingnian was just a talker and not reliable at all. Even Li Fang was a fool and was nothing. If the two brothers hadn't helped him with suggestions back then, he wouldn't have been able to become a scholar at all. Now...
Sorry, he has to think about himself.
"Brother, I'm going back first. If you have anything to do, ask Nian Zi to come to me. What I did was right, let's restrain ourselves. I have a backer."
Li Fangzheng got excited and waved impatiently, continuing the topic just now...
