Yan Yixin, who had been silent, came over, stretched out his hand to pull him down, and said:
"It's enough to study for the scientific examination, but joining the army won't make you guilty. If you want to look majestic, let's just buy some pieces of leather and make a cloak."
"Yes, Tiedan, you are our eldest son and you can't take risks. Do you want to associate with people like Uncle Guo and Uncle Guo? People who join the army have made mistakes, so you'd better not go." Li Yue also agreed.<
/p>
Li Heng looked hesitant, and Li Hui looked bad.
Cheng Xue felt helpless when she saw this, and hurriedly spoke out to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about joining the army later. Tangtang and Brother Xin will set the table for us to eat. Tiedan, no matter what you want to do in the future, write it clearly and beautifully. Otherwise, how embarrassing will it be for others to see?" "Don't worry, mother, I've written it all down." Li Heng responded, still having an "armor dream" in his heart.
Li Hui adjusted his mentality and pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said:
"I almost forgot, Xiao Qinglin asked me to write something for him. Wife, you take the children to eat first, and I will eat after I finish writing."
After saying this, he stood up and left without waiting for her to respond.
The children, no doubt that he was there, set the tables one after another and prepared to cook.
Cheng Xue went to the outhouse to pack some food and went straight to the study. Let Li Yue and Yan Yixin take the children to have breakfast.
She understood Li Hui's feelings. He was so proud of his status, but he was not respected or taken seriously here. No one could accept it.
In the past, he took care of her emotions, but now that he is emo, she naturally cannot stand idly by.
When Li Hui saw millet porridge, boiled eggs, steamed buns with steamed noodles and fried fungus with cabbage, he chuckled and shook his head.
"Why did you send it here? I'll go back to the house and eat it after I adjust it."
This is him, he never talks harshly and never insists.
Cheng Xue sat opposite him and pushed the porridge in front of him.
"We haven't had a meal together for a long time. It's a rare opportunity. I added a little vinegar to the food. Do you like it?"
The fungus was just dried yesterday. I soaked some early and fried it to have a fresh taste.
If it were normal, Li Hui would definitely climb the pole, but just now he was thinking alone, and suddenly he didn't dare to think about it for the better. After all, it's easy to change the people around you. If you want to change the opinions of everyone in the world, it's not just about talking. p>
The smart Cheng Xue saw his silence and instantly guessed his thoughts.
Break off half of the steamed bun and hand it to him, saying softly:
"We must first do as the locals do. To be honest, if Guo Sanyu and Guo Sizhu were in modern times, they would definitely not be able to pass the test of home visits for political review.
But the population of this other world is small, and the requirements for soldiers are not high. We cannot treat this place according to the standards there. Changing the status quo cannot be achieved overnight, and must be planned slowly."
"What's the plan? It's very possible that as soon as I mentioned it, the jealous people in the court swallowed me with their saliva."
"Are you afraid?"
Li Hui "Haha..." sneered and shook his head.
"Since you are not afraid, just take your time. You will definitely live longer than those sour scholars."
"What if it doesn't work out?" Li Hui's voice was calm, but the deformed bun he held exposed his innermost feelings.
Cheng Xue stretched out her hand to "rescue" the steamed bun and patted his palm gently.
"Our ancestors earned peace and prosperity through millet and rifles. I won't tell you the hardships during this period, but you know better than me. You may not be able to improve the status of Liang Yan's soldiers, but Li Heng can. Li Heng can.
If Heng doesn’t work, just Li Heng’s children, or his children’s children. As long as we educate our children with correct views and passion, I believe this day will come eventually.”
"Who educates children?"
"We two!" Cheng Xue replied without thinking.
Li Hui received a satisfactory answer and shook his head pretending to be sad.
"Stop making trouble. When Li Heng gets married, you take Tiantian away. How can you educate the children with me? Otherwise, you take all the children away and I will deal with them alone. If I lose, I will
Even if you die alone, you don’t have to be implicated.”
When Cheng Xue heard this, she felt panicked in her heart.
Going to die alone? That's definitely not possible! And when she said it just now, she never thought about leaving, she just wanted to advance and retreat with him.
Looking at the man eating porridge, she asked herself seriously, could she really turn around without any scruples?
Uh... it seems... it seems... um... she's about to get slapped in the face.
"Pfft——" Cheng Xue laughed.
Li Hui paused while drinking the porridge, puzzled:
"What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"
Cheng Xue said the word "secret" and started to cook happily.
She has talked a lot, but now is not the time to say it. Since she knows that she doesn't want to leave, she has to overcome her "fear of marriage" and then push it to her younger brother. That would be perfect.
Otherwise it would be unfair to him and unfair to her.
……
The Shuiguan Day has passed, and Wanghe Village has received its first snowfall since the beginning of winter this year.
There are no more villagers gathering under the willow tree at the head of the village, and the chimneys of every house are smoking all day long.
This winter was colder than in previous years, so the children of Li Hui's family were very capable. Not only did they collect all the firewood from the fields, they also went up to the mountains to chop a lot of it.
Bundles of sorghum stalks and bean stalks can be burned at will. Occasionally, Li Hui will take home the wooden poles discarded by the forest farm and keep them for burning the kang at night.
"Mom, are six sauerkraut enough?"
"Two more pills." Cheng Xue asked, "Pack some more and freeze them. Your father has been going back to the house to sleep in the middle of the night these days, and his body can't bear it."
After hearing this, Li Yue fished out four more and chopped them with two kitchen knives.
On the fifteenth day, Cheng Xue came back from town and bought a large piece of pork for making frozen dumplings.
After this period of good food, Li Yue and Li Heng have grown visibly taller, but they haven't gained much weight. Li Tian and Li Huai are prosperous and have fleshy little faces, which are particularly rare for others.
The door of the room opened, and Li Tian came in with a pout, hugged his mother, and said aggrievedly:
"Mom, my brother is cruel to me again."
Before Cheng Xue could ask, Yan Yixin hurried in from outside. This kind of scene has been happening frequently in the past few days, and both mother and daughter are used to it.
Li Tian proudly snorted and said:
"This time I won't make money for my eldest brother, and I won't go back!"
The little guy always said "thin noodles" as "white noodles", but Cheng Xue didn't correct him. Just grow up.
Recently, she learned how to read characters with Yan Yixin and Li Heng. She only recognized three words in total: "李", "天", and "天".
Li Heng was always mad and irritable because of the three-character old record. Every time at this time, Yan Yixin would come over to comfort her, and the little girl would go back obediently.
It was obvious that she was really angry this time. She turned around and walked to her sister, no matter how she tried to coax her, it didn't work.
Seeing this, Cheng Xue shook her head at Yan Yixin, who handed over his hands and turned around to go out.
After the door closed, Li Tian moved a small stool to sit next to Cheng Xue and said:
"Mom, my brother called me a 'stupid, stupid ass', and I will never pay attention to him again."
Yo, this is too much.
Cheng Xue raised her hands to comfort her daughter, but when she saw that her hands were covered with dough, she had no choice but to give up.
"Don't be angry. I'll help you clean him up when you're done. But my daughter, do you really not recognize these three words? They are all your names!"
