An Ziqi's ancient life

After An Ziqi helped his father up, he said pitifully to An Liji, "Father, how can we live after we are separated now! My mother is lying on the kang and cannot move, and my health is not good. My sister is just a doll." Zimin is too young. Where will we get food for our family?" An Ziqi looked at old man An with tears in his eyes again, "Master, I haven't even paid the medical fee for Mr. Li when I fell into the water last time! And this My mother invited Li Langzhong again, but the life-saving medicine he gave me has not been paid for! The ginseng that Li Langzhong gave my mother to hang her life alone is probably more than 100 taels of silver! And my mother is still taking medicine, That medicine is very expensive, at least you have to take several pairs, and each pair needs to be paid in silver!"

Every time An Ziqi said a word, the corners of Mr. An's mouth twitched, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Li's mouth widened directly, and she didn't even bother to cry. "What are you talking about?" Li almost jumped up! "How many good medicines have you and your Jin Guiniang taken?"

"Yes! Grandma, hurry up and give us the money so that we can repay Mr. Li's favor." An Ziqi cried to Mrs. Li.

"No! I don't even sell it, you go yourself." Li Shi directly turned his back to An Ziqi.

"Grandma, doesn't that mean that Uncle has partnered with someone in the town to do a small business? Uncle wants the money back, so he will have it," An Ziqi said again.

"Impossible!" An Libo yelled, and then he felt that he had reacted too much, and explained to Mr. An, "Father, as for the small business that I partnered with, Dalang's repairs all depended on that. And we are just a small business, where is the money?"

Mr. An fell silent, and the children of Sanfang stopped talking.

In the end, Mr. An said that he had to think about it.

An Ziqi went back with his father and siblings.

Mrs. Zhao shed tears again when she saw a few people come back in disgrace.

"Brother, do you think the master will allow us to split?" An Zimin asked anxiously, grabbing An Ziqi's clothes.

"Don't worry, the master will definitely split up." Sanfang, who has dragged An's back, staying in An's house now will do no harm.An Ziqi didn't say the latter sentence.

"Oh..." An Zimin nodded ignorantly.An Liji sighed, he was both excited about being separated, but also sad because his parents disliked and burdened him.

"Sister, let's go and stew the bones we bought today, pig heart and red dates to nourish my mother's blood." An Ziqi changed the subject.

"Oh, good." An Ziqin, who had been dazed all this time, finally spoke.

……

A few days later, Mr. An really invited Li Zheng and several respected old people in the village to write down the paperwork for the separation of the family.

An Liji got a "ancestral house", which is connected to the two acres of land of the "ancestral house".It is said to be the ancestral house, but it is a two-room earthen house that Mr. An bought temporarily when he escaped from the disaster.The two mu of land is also barren sandy land, which can't produce much food and has been left unplanted.

An's family has [-] acres of good land, and there are green brick and tile houses, and they can even distribute such poor things to the third son. They don't even give them the west wing room where they live, so they are completely out of the house!Lizheng Zhou Hai felt a little sympathetic to Sanfang.Mr. An is too eccentric!It's just not giving Sanfang a living!I don't know how much love will be left after the separation.If his mother-in-law found out, she would probably wipe away tears again.He is an outsider, so it's not easy to say anything about Mr. An's actions.

"Take your things and get out! From now on, we have nothing to do with what you eat and drink spicy!" Li Shi directly said in a bad mood.

"Mother!" An Liji knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Li and An Liji.He still had the scar from the last nibbling on his forehead, and he looked very decadent.

"Third son, you have been separated in the future, so let's live a good life! Your mother and I will not need you to take care of us in the future." Mr. An sighed. He knew that he was sorry for this son, but he couldn't hold back the old wife and the eldest son. Son's nagging.

"Father! How can this work? Brothers should take care of the elderly!" An Libo's originally happy face collapsed.

"Old man! Isn't the third child born to me? Isn't it right to respect me in the future?" Mrs. Li also cried out dissatisfied.

"Could it be that the third child will leave us alone when he gets rich?" An Lizhong also shouted.It seems that Sanfang has become a big landlord and rich man.Even though Sanfang has already been exiled by them, they still don't forget to plan for the distant future.

"Shut up!" Mr. An blushed angrily.

"Shut up all of you! It's considered a bad treatment for the old three to go out, so you don't have to provide for us in the future! You have hands and feet, don't you still miss the poor and the poor brother? I...I..." Mr. An was so angry I was trembling, there was still Lizheng here, and the old man in the village was there!Saying this, I'm afraid that no one will know that An's family abused the third room? An's family's face and reputation will be ruined by An Lizhong before he dares to speak.

Li Zheng was a little embarrassed, and coughed all over, "Cough! Old man, do you want to include this in the paperwork?"

"Let's write it..." Mr. An was stunned for a moment, but he still agreed. It was rare for him to show kindness to An Liji.Even though it looks like he's still exploiting the younger son.

"Father, let's also write down the things we are going to move!" An Ziqi was afraid that he would still be entangled in the future, so he should write everything clearly!

"Let's write it!" Mr. An also agreed, and started to stare blankly at the gate.

In addition to the house and land allocated to them, there are some other things. The pots, pans and pans are distributed according to the head, two sickles and hoes, two sets of quilts and mattresses, and the clothes are the same as those of the third room. Zhao's dowry is gone. It's over, and there is only a big wooden box left, which is worthless, so I still have to take it away.One low table, two benches, and even took away a few rough porcelain bowls. Mr. An blushed, and said nothing.Because spring plowing was about to begin, Mr. An still gave Sanfang a half-sack of corn and corn under Li's angry eyes.If you can save food and persist in the spring plowing, An Liji can work to subsidize the family.

Without mentioning some trivial things, Mrs. Li drove them away quickly, out of sight and out of mind.Three copies of the document were written, one for Mr. An, one for Li Zheng, and one for An Liji.Lizheng and the others witnessed it, so they left quickly. It was very embarrassing to stay for a long time.

After packing the things into a big bag, An Liji went to Aunt Liu's house to borrow a small cart, spread out the quilts, helped Mrs. Zhao lie on it, put the things aside, and a few children helped behind. Strolling the carts, they have no confusion on their faces, only hope for the future.Even An Liji, who was frowning for the past few days, showed a smile.

"Brother! We're finally out! It's like a dream!" An Zimin looked dreamy.

An Ziqi helped push the cart, and he had no free hands, so he really wanted to pinch his face.

"That's right! I won't be hungry anymore." An Ziqi said.

An Liji was also very happy looking at the smiling children.

"By the way, I almost forgot these few days, Ziqi, where did you get the 100 taels of silver note you gave me that day?" An Liji remembered this, feeling a little terrified.

"That's the top-quality medicinal material that Zimin dug up. I'm going to sell it to Li Langzhong. It's worth our medicine and consultation fees. Li Langzhong subsidized us."

"That's it!" An Liji sighed. Originally, he was worried that his family owed too much money to Li Langzhong, and he didn't know how to pay it back. Unexpectedly, by mistake, the mountain that was pressing on his head was gone.

"Father, what about the remaining 100 taels?" An Ziqi asked, they are always short of money now.

"I have already given it to Li Langzhong." An Liji said Hanhan.

"..." Now she is really penniless!

Everyone is a little worried.

"Aren't we next to Daqing Mountain? There are so many good things in the mountain, why are we afraid that we will starve to death?" An Ziqi said angrily.I don't know how to use it next to a treasure mountain.In fact, An Ziqi didn't know that the interior of Daqing Mountain was very dangerous. There were many dangerous creatures in the mountain, and it was easy to get lost. Inexperienced hunters dared not go too deep easily.Experienced people should go in in groups, otherwise it will be too dangerous!

"Yes!" An Zimin suddenly realized.

"Ziqi, don't make any plans to go into the deep mountains! It's too dangerous there! It's a great blessing for Zimin to get a good medicinal plant, we can't be greedy!" Anli Ji Yizheng said .

"Okay!" An Ziqi replied simply, and only he knew what was going on in his heart.

A group of people walked for about two quarters of an hour and arrived at the "ancestral house".An Ziqi was dumbfounded.This "ancestral house" is empty, with nothing, the thatched roof is also very old, and some places may leak rain, a circle of dilapidated earthen walls encloses a small courtyard, enclosing two dilapidated houses .An Ziqi feels like he's become a cabbage now!

An Liji seemed to be used to it, first pushed Mrs. Zhao to the edge of the wall, put the trolley firmly, and then picked up the broom.

"Let's clean it first. I'll ask Uncle Xu to borrow some grass to repair the roof. You can clean the kang out."

"Old Ji! Don't tell us such a big thing as moving! It's not enough for brothers!" A thick voice sounded, and An Ziqi turned around to see that many people came over with things.

"Brother! Didn't you clean it up? I'll buy you a drink after I clean it up!" An Liji replied loudly.These are his brothers or daughters-in-law who are close friends with Zhao.

"Haha, I knew you wanted thatch, and I brought you thatch." Xu Zheng laughed.

"Thank you, brother." The men helped Anli Ji repair the fence and roof.

"Axiu, you are finally out of the sea of ​​suffering!" Shi Qian also came, and seeing Zhao Shi lying on the cart, she still shed tears.

"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are too stingy, they just sent your family away like this. If it were me, there would be a complete mess!" Qian said fiercely.

"That's right, hey, I didn't expect you to be separated so quickly." Aunt Liu also said.

Mrs. Zhao just smiled, "It would be great if we can separate them. I, their father, and the children are all here. Are you still afraid of starvation?"

"That's right, you are a hardworking person, but you are too hard pressed by your mother-in-law. It will be easier to come out."

……

"Goro, let me help you!" Liu Hu Hanhan came over.

"Thank you Brother Huzi." An Ziqi was holding up a bamboo pole to sweep the cobwebs on the roof, and he was happy to help.

There are so many people and strength, the two dilapidated houses were quickly tidied up, and the careful aunts brought what they needed, things that they couldn't buy for a while, Mrs. Zhao was also placed on the kang, and the fire was also burned. It's up, everyone has been busy for a long time, and they went back before the meal, knowing that it is not convenient for them to entertain them now, so they agreed to come again next time.

Zhao's face has been wearing a comfortable smile.
