Bandit Reborn

The words of the biological father were taught in vain, and sooner or later they would eat.And actually?I went to school with my brothers on the second day after I came here. Shuxiu, who spends five taels of silver a year, has to prepare charcoal gifts for my husband on New Year’s Day. How many of the relatives here are willing? !

When I first went to school, I was small and thin, and I had no strength to walk. My elder brother and second elder brother took turns carrying me for half a year.Usually there are delicious and fun things, and my brothers always cling to me and let me take advantage of it, and take care of it for me when I get into trouble. Even my own brother can’t compare to it; when I was sick when I was young, the doctor said I was dying Now, the whole family panicked, it was my father who kowtowed and begged for the county magistrate's carriage, the 120 eight-level bluestone steps of Jingtan Temple, it was my father who carried me up one step at a time!

There is no priority in giving birth to kindness and nourishing kindness. I was five years old when I came to this house. I remember everything I should remember. I remember that my biological father treated me well. My father never thought of making me forget my biological father. During the holidays, my father would hold me and carry me to visit the graves of my biological father and the ancestors of the Meng family.But my biological father has passed away, and I can continue to keep the incense of my ancestors during the festivals, but I can't let my father and our family feel cold!In this life, I can only be surnamed Li, Li Huaixi, the first name given to me by my biological father, and the surname given to me by my stepfather. I am the third son of Li Chengkui's family, and I will never change it again! "

Speaking of this, Li Huaixi was a little excited, took a breath and continued, "Second Brother Meng, since I called you Second Brother at the beginning, I naturally regarded you as a relative, and the same is true for several clan brothers. It's just a cutscene. It's not good for everyone to make things unhappy for such a certain thing, don't you think?

I, Li Huaixi, the second brother should also know that I am the one who likes to recognize relatives the most. I haven’t finished eating the red dates that my second sister-in-law gave me years ago. I brought them to Beijing when I was rushing for the exam, and I was only willing to take out two slices each time. Making tea and drinking it is just thinking about how kind my second sister-in-law has been to me.

I heard that Zhaoyuan from the second brother's family also entered school at the beginning of the year, right?I have been at home these past few months, allowing him and the children of the clan to come and walk around in my free time, and the books I have used here are still good, so I can take them to them. "

After Li Huaixi finished speaking, he looked at the men surnamed Meng in the room. His gesture of kindness was also a step up for the Meng family. There should be no more.

And Li Huaixi's goodwill also made the Meng family feel relieved. Listening to Li Huaixi's initial words, the Meng family felt like a steel knife resting on their necks. Willows are 800 years old.

Regarding the matter of letting Li Huaixi go back to recognize his ancestors, they were only half-hearted. After all, the Li family officially opened the ancestral hall and changed the genealogy, and Li Huaixi was also registered under Li Chengkui's name on the government's household registration.

However, they were not reconciled that a champion who should be surnamed Meng fell to a family surnamed Li. In the eyes of the Meng family, there was no comparison between the Meng family and the Li family in Tongding Town.Although the Meng family is in decline now, their ancestors were also high-ranking officials. It shouldn't be too far-fetched to say that they are from a scholarly family.

And what about the Li family?What does the Li family have?It was originally an outsider!The genealogy in the Li family's ancestral hall is only one page in total. What else is there besides birth and death years and family relations? !Moreover, looking at the appearance and figure of the Li family, all of them have big arms, big waists, five big and three thick, and they look stupid. It is reasonable to say that even if the ancestral graves are smoked for 800 years, they will not be the number one!In the final analysis, Li Huaixi's ability to become a talent is due to the good genes of their Meng family, and the Li family took advantage of it for nothing!

Although the villagers say that Li Chengkui, who kills pigs, treats his stepson better than his own son, but usually when the door is closed, outsiders can't make accurate remarks about each family's life. Besides, Li Huaixi went out to study when he was nine years old. How much affection can brother have? ...

The Meng family has always thought this way, and recently they have inquired that Li Huaixi has been staying in the capital and has not come back. They don't know that Li Huaixi was stumbled by the lawsuit. There are also many examples of going back to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan. Seeing that the No. [-] Scholar Memorial Archway in Lijiazhuang is almost finished, it will be a done deal if we wait any longer, so this finally caused trouble.

However, the Meng family is really not stupid, except that they are a little hot-headed by the glory of the number one scholar, especially Meng Huaiyi. Their family had a relationship with Li Huaixi when Li Huaixi first won the head of the hospital a few years ago. Years have been moving around.Now that they knew that their calculations were wrong, and Li Huaixi kindly let the past go, there was no reason for them to go downhill, so they hurriedly responded with a few words and left.Although I lost 20 taels of silver notes on this trip, and I didn't achieve my goal, it was better than offending Li Huaixi, and it was the best policy to sneak away while my petty mind was not angry.

After the Meng family was sent away, the men of the Li family went away to do farm work in their own fields at the gate, and the women continued to prepare for ancestor worship. The place where people cried fiercely.The brothers of the Li family, the butcher's wife and grandma saw some clues from Li Chengkui's red and swollen eyes after he came back, but they always knew that Mr. Li, who was big and three rough, had a sensitive glass heart, so no one would provoke him again. And Miss Li Si has been playing crazy for a long time, so she didn't see it at all.

A few days later, the Li family opened their ancestral hall to burn incense and worship their ancestors.Li Chengkui changed into bright red clothes, and he was happier than the day he became the bridegroom ten years ago. The 15-year-old Li Jiasan was carried by his father on his shoulders all the way to the ancestral hall.

Although the women were excluded, they were all neatly dressed and stood outside the ancestral hall to watch the ceremony. The butcher's wife and grandma brought Li Si to a new dress and stood at the front of the crowd. People kept complimenting them on their luck. The butcher's wife is still pretending to be reserved, but the old lady and the little girl are laughing so hard that their teeth can't see their eyes, and the newly made steps on their heads have long been shaking like gold.

After the hustle and bustle, in line with the principle of making the best use of everything, the head of the Li family was not polite. Finally, there was someone in the family who was well-known for his studies, so he handed over the re-creation of the genealogy to the new champion on the spot.

Earlier, their family didn't know how to read and write, but when Li Long and Li Hu's generation got up their names, Li San, Li Si, Li Ermazi, it was a mess.Now that there are educated people in the family who have won the first prize, the knowledge must be first-class, and it is time to apply what you have learned. First, let's make a careful plan for the matter of naming. This generation will not be able to catch up. Maybe future generations will be blessed Always good.

Li Huaixi didn't ask too much, and found Li Long and Li Hulai, the only two brothers in the family who could read and write, to advise together, and Liu Quan, who had a different surname, was beside him. After two days of discussion, the brothers finally decided from a song by Li Huaixi. Twelve characters were extracted from the poems that have become famous all over the world and recorded in the genealogy.Since then, even if two-thirds of the names of the descendants of the Li family have been decided, no matter how unreliable the father's name is, it will not go far.

74. Li Long Gets Married

After finally being busy with ancestor worship, the whole family didn't rest for two days, and the day of Li Long's marriage was coming.

On May 24, the day before the day, Wang Xiucai hired a porter to deliver the dowry for his daughter.This Wang family can be considered a small family with a small fortune in Tongding Town. Seeing that the Li family is getting richer and more wealthy now, they are worried that their daughter will be looked down upon when they marry, so the dowry is more than double that of ordinary neighbors when they marry daughters. , A total of [-] lifts, just more than [-] porters were invited!

Although most of the furniture in the new house was prepared by the Li family, things like beds and dressing tables were prepared by the woman, and some other private utensils were also brought by the woman herself.

Appliances, cages, quilts and other small items were carried directly into the new house. Only one large bed was disassembled and brought in because it was too heavy. The porters took the reward and left without doing the work.Li Long and Li Hu took the four brothers Li Cai and Li Bao to do it themselves, preparing to reinstall it in the yard before carrying it in.

As an expert, Yan Li acted as a dispatcher and commander, and Li Huaixi was handing over the belongings beside him.After the frame of the bed was set up, Li Huaixi let out a curious 'huh', feeling a little strange.He didn't look carefully at the dressing table that was brought in, but the bed was set up under his nose. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the furniture of the Wang family's dowry was not simple. It seems to be made by one person.

Thinking that his own things were bought from Yan Li's shop, Li Huaixi took a wooden hammer and moved secretly to Yan Li's side, "Why do I feel that the few pieces of furniture brought by the Wang family are the same as the ones our family prepared before?" Yes? You arranged for it?"

"Where can I be used?!" Yan Li rolled his eyes, looked up to see that there were still Wang's make-up customers in the room, so he lowered his voice and whispered to Li Huaixi, "When you were choosing furniture that day, you didn't know that your eldest brother Who did he come with, his uncle! The eldest son of the Wang family! It’s just a matter of hooking up with him, that’s so hot! He was still thinking about wanting to settle accounts together, and he gave up after being ostracized by others! Isn’t this just a set?! I didn’t earn a penny for the top-notch Daye Tan, and even paid for his father-in-law to take him home!”

Yan Li was still angry with himself, but Li Huaixi was already laughing until his intestines knotted.It's rare for him to hear Yan Li, who has always been noble, arrange others behind the back of a philistine, but after listening to such a long passage today, he couldn't smile openly, he could only endure the abdominal pain and cover his mouth and laugh, and it took a long time before he could return to normal Mobilize facial muscles.

"When Si'er wrote me a letter earlier, I didn't really believe that my elder brother went down to the reed pond to catch geese. Now it seems that it can't be true anymore! Tomorrow I want to see how beautiful my new sister-in-law is. It made our pedants so interested."

Yan Li was still angry, and glared at Li Huaixi, teasingly said, "You look beautiful? It's faster for you to look in the mirror by yourself! It won't take tomorrow!"

Li Huaixi was choked up by Yan Li, and quickly took a step back with his belongings.Ordinary people who make fun of his appearance will definitely end up miserable, but today when Yan Li said this, instead of being angry, Li Huaixi was a little happy.

When Yan Li entered the door with his aunt in the morning, he was worried all the time, not knowing how Yan Li's marriage was going. Later, when he listened to the corner of the wall, he heard his aunt tell his grandmother and his mother that Yan Li's marriage had been settled. Be safe.

The women were talking in the room, and Li Huaixi couldn't hear clearly. He heard intermittently that the other party was the daughter of a businessman who had contacts with the Yan family. Ying plays and learns to do needlework together, and has met Yan Li since she was a child, and said that Yan Li is also very satisfied...the rest of the room is too crowded, so he didn't hear clearly.

Although Li Huaixi denied it in every possible way in front of Li Hu, in fact he still felt guilty for what happened before, and Yan Li had to live well to make him feel more comfortable.His aunt's words may be somewhat exaggerated, but if he had known her since childhood, at least it would be much better than a blind marriage.

Li Huaixi doesn't want to think about whether Yan Li's satisfaction with his marriage is a performance of resignation after he can't ask for it, but now that Yan Li can joke with him like this and make him a raft, Li Huaixi is willing to believe that Yan Li has really let go. Did Yan Li really let go of it in his heart? Li Huaixi didn't want to think about it. If he thought about it, he owed it and he couldn't afford it.

It took the Li family brothers more than an hour to install the bed. During this period, Li Bao's hand was pressed into a big blister by the bed board. In the end, he didn't want to end up, but he made an oolong. The bed was no more than the door frame. Two inches wider and half a foot taller, no matter how much you move, you can't get in the door.

The self-proclaimed clever Li brothers raised the foot of the bed and quarreled at the door of the new house. You blamed me and I blamed each other. When Li Chengkui heard the voice, he came over and took a look. A few 'smart' children glanced at the bridesmaids who were waiting to 'make the bed' in the room. Master Li raised his leg and kicked the groom's officer, "What's the fuss? It's time to dismantle it, put it in the room and reinstall it!"

Fortunately, the disassembly and assembly work of the second time was much faster than the first time. Before sunset, the blessed man who was found by the Wang family with both children and parents-in-law was alive and finally sprinkled the last handful of lotus seeds on the bed. Ignoring the Li family's food, seeing that it was getting late, the sisters who came with them hurriedly left.

This bridesmaid was begged by the Wang family, so it's hard to let her go back like this.Li Chengkui hurriedly asked Li Huaixi to order the groom he brought back to put on the carriage and chase them out. The butcher's wife looked at the door to see that the coachman finally caught up with the two women before she was relieved.

They couldn't sleep in the new house, not even the usual bed on the floor. When it was time to sleep, the Li family had another difficulty.Not only mother and son Yan Li came to help one day earlier, but also the eldest aunt brought Cheng An, Cheng Ping and younger cousin Cheng Zhi, the second aunt brought her son Cheng Fang, daughter Cheng Lan, and the third aunt brought her son Cheng Huan and youngest daughter Cheng Rui, there is a big room full of people, and they can't sleep even if they are piled up!

In the end, Li Chengkui took all the men in the family and escaped. Li Huaixi hugged his cat and squeezed with his uncle's fat Li Li all night, smelling the smell of stinky feet all night, and returned to his home early the next morning. .

The women got up earlier than him, and they were taking turns washing around the well. When they saw Li Huaixi coming in, they didn't take him seriously. They didn't even want to avoid suspicion. Rolling up his sleeves, Li Huaixi wanted to remind them of the fact that he was a man, but in the end he didn't say much. He knew how they would answer him, so he might as well not say anything.

At this time, his mother came over with a basin of water, threw him a towel and said, "Go wash your face, put the cat down and let it play by itself. When the cook comes, there will be pots and pans everywhere, so as not to make trouble here. "

Li Huaixi took the water basin and didn't say anything, but Fat Cat has always been at odds with the hostess. When he heard the words, he raised his body and bared his teeth at the butcher's lady. After going up the tree, the butcher's wife yelled again, "If you have the ability, stay still on the tree for a day!"

Li Huaixi went to wash his face by himself, and didn't dare to complain to his cat. He felt that his mother was a little strange today. Although he arranged things in an orderly manner, he looked a little flustered, even if he taught the cat a lesson, he was obviously fine. Looking for trouble, pure fault finding.

In the afternoon, Li Long changed into the bridegroom's official clothes and was ready to meet the bride. Li Huaixi found that his mother's panic had reached a new height in a blink of an eye. It was well prepared to check the tea fruit for the guests, but it was running around like a headless chicken, without the composure of the past.

Li Huaixi looked surprised and troubled, and finally couldn't help pulling his mother aside and asked, "Mother, what are you doing here? The guests will come to the door in a while, and if you don't hurry to the front, let me Dad is there alone to support him?"

"Ah? Got it, got it, I'll go right away... Huaixi, can you see if your mother's clothes are okay today? Is the color too bright to look dignified? I still have a darker set in the closet. Don't want to change it? Me, is the hairpin on my head too big? I don't want to wear the one with beads..."

This is really panic!

Li Si couldn't point to it, so Li Huaixi could only pretend to be a caring little padded jacket, helped his mother to a chair, poured a glass of water for his mother to stuff in her hand, and asked after his mother had a sip, "Mom, how are you doing?" Didn't you just become a mother-in-law? Why did you panic like this?"

"I'm not panicking!" the butcher's wife retorted subconsciously, but she lost her eyes when she met her youngest son, "Is it easy for you to be a mother-in-law? I, I don't seem to know..."

"No?" Li Huaixi was also stunned.

"No," the butcher's wife said the first sentence, and the rest went smoothly, sitting on the chair with plausibility and reason, "I have never had a mother-in-law twice in my marriage, and I have never even served my daughter-in-law tea. Wouldn't it be impossible?!"

"Isn't there still my grandma? My grandma has three daughters-in-law. Didn't you come out of the cabinet when my uncle first got married? Why didn't you become a mother-in-law?" Li Huaixi was surprised!

"What did I know as a little girl at that time? I just knew that there were many people in the family, and it was just a pair of chopsticks. Is it the same to see mother-in-law and mother-in-law?" To Niu Danqin, but she couldn't find anyone to say these things except her own youngest son, so she could only sigh and say what was in her heart, "Besides, I am not your elder brother's biological mother, although I have treated those two brothers on their own all these years. I admit that there is nothing wrong with my heart, but when a son marries a daughter-in-law, it is easy to forget his mother, not to mention that I am still a stepmother... Although I have a champion son and married a scholar a few years ago, I still know that I am half a catty Yes, I have never read a book or read a word. If I say something wrong to my daughter-in-law, it doesn’t matter if it makes people laugh. I, hey, anyway, I don’t think I will be this mother-in-law, so I’m so worried!”

Li Huaixi's eyes widened. He never expected his mother to have such exquisite thoughts, but in the next second, Li Huaixi found the feeling of fishing in troubled waters, and immediately changed his face of worrying about the country and the people, and said with a sigh, "Mother is thoughtful. Big Brother is catching wild geese and getting along with big brother-in-law. I must be very satisfied with this relationship. From now on, you..."

Li Huaixi spoke in a long voice, and at this time his aunt couldn't handle it outside, so she came in and dragged his mother out to greet the guests, so he stopped talking—speaking half a sentence, hiding half a sentence, trying to keep his mother and father out of it. The third son of the Li family who was abducted by the eldest brother successfully handed over a pair of small shoes to his sister-in-law before entering the door.

75. Li Long Gets Married

Li Long got married, and Li Chengkui's deceased original wife's family also came. Unfortunately, Li Long and Li Hu's only aunt also passed away the year before last, so the people who came were only cousins, and they didn't have much contact on weekdays. down.

In addition to relatives, many classmates from Lilong County School also came, and several old friends of Li Chengkui also came to congratulate.No one in the entire Jin County does not know that the third son of Li Chengkui's family has won the first prize. After sitting down, many guests who came to express their congratulations followed Li Huaixi curiously. This made Li Huaixi somewhat embarrassed and felt that he had robbed the protagonist. Li Long's limelight.

Fortunately, these gazes finally turned when the bride was about to enter the door. When the firecrackers rang at the door, everyone rushed to the door. Li Huaixi walked out with the flow of people, and walked on tiptoe to watch the welcoming team from far to near.

The image of the bridegroom riding on the horse was exactly the same as that of Li Chengkui ten years ago. His elder brother Li Long grinned so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. He was so stupid.

Behind Li Long is a professional drum team invited from the county seat, which is different from the family-style local troupe in the countryside. The members of this auspicious celebration team are all young men who look energetic, and these people not only play Well done, well dressed, more than [-] people are all wearing the same clothes, dancing to the tune while walking, the dance is full of masculinity, and there is a sense of festiveness between the kicks.

Looking through the drum troupe with fluttering clothes and noisy gongs and drums, the bridal sedan chair is following behind.Li Long is already a Juren, and the sedan chair for welcoming relatives is a bit different from that used by ordinary people. Ordinary people can only decorate the sedan chair with red cloth, but the famous Juren master gets married, but the sedan chair can be covered with silk, and the decorations on it are more delicate , the nets are made of multicolored silk threads, and there are golden bells hanging from the four corners of the sedan chair. Although they are not real gold, they are rich enough and decent enough in the countryside.

At this time the sedan chair had arrived at the door, and Li Long jumped off the horse first with a happy face, but the bride was sitting in the sedan chair and could not move, and had to be led by the "carrier lady" to get off the sedan chair.

Li Huaixi still remembers when Cheng An and Yan Ying got married when his younger sister had an oolong. He turned his head and glanced at his younger sister who was not far away, and Li Huaixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Si is now more than nine years old. This "little lady who picks up the sedan chair" can't be done. This time, the Li family invited another little girl with a different surname to do it.

After the deafening sound of firecrackers, the drum team changed the tune, and the dance stopped. Xi Niang, who was next to the sedan chair, sang a happy song, and then smiled and led the "carrying lady" to lead the sedan chair door.

The little girl invited was not yet five years old, and she was a little shy. One hand was held by Xi Niang, but the other hand had to hold her own mother before she dared to move forward. That's right, word for word, he lured the bride out and handed it to the groom. After completing the task, he didn't even dare to ask for a reward, so he immediately turned around and climbed on his mother's body, causing the guests who watched the excitement to burst into laughter.

The bride was covered with a veil, and she could only hear laughter, but she couldn't see what the people around her were laughing at. However, she held her composure and let Li Long hold her hand to step over the brazier and the saddle. No, with light lotus steps and a calm demeanor, a daughter raised by a scholar can compare to ordinary village girls when she gets off the sedan chair.

Walking into the main hall, the master of ceremonies has long sang promises to arrange everything. The red lanterns hanging everywhere make the faces of the guests glow red. The wedding clothes on the couple's body are all embroidered with gold thread, which shines even brighter under the light. .

Li Long was originally dark, but he didn't show it under the light, and his face was oily all day, but when the light was on, he showed a "glossy" spirit.

The bride looks a little petite, and she can't see her face with a hijab, but she can see that her skin should be quite fair by looking at the hand she is holding with Li Hu. Take a look and leave.

The wedding ceremony went smoothly, Ming Media was marrying, and there was nothing to make people picky. Even the direction of the wind in the air was just right.

Li Huaixi suddenly remembered the marriage proposal mentioned by Lin Yichen a few days ago, and smiled involuntarily.Originally, he didn't have much affection for such a complicated ceremony as marriage worship.He has grown up to such an age, and he has only attended two weddings in person. The first time he attended was the wedding of his mother and his father. Too little, too busy eating and not paying attention to other things; the other wedding was Cheng An and Yan Ying's, not to mention the elopement plot of unmarried first pregnancy, just the wedding held in the cold season There are no good words to think of at all.

Li Long's wedding is the third that Li Huaixi attended. Although it was ordered by his parents and the matchmaker's words, Li Huaixi still saw a trace of love from Li Long's silly expression and tightly holding the bride's hand, so he couldn't help but He was also secretly looking forward to his wedding.

After the bride's worship, she was sent to the bridal chamber, but Li Hu couldn't stay in the new house for a long time. After the worship, the highlight wedding banquet began.

Li Long didn't drink well, and after being toasted a few times, he started to rub garlic on his feet, and his tongue grew too big.At this time, cousins ​​and cousins ​​had to bite the bullet and join him to help him block the wine. Li Huaixi also wanted to take the opportunity to open the wine, but unfortunately he was caught by his mother as soon as he took a sip, and had to be a good boy at home again. Baby, drink the sour plum soup...

The men drank and ordered in front, but the women's banquet ended early. In this era, there was no TV, no celebrities, and the female guests could not hold a flower frame loom when they went out to the banquet, so this large group of women gathered together except Talking about the gossip of each family has nothing to do, it is very boring.

The countryside is not so particular. Although the backyard is full of female guests, the men in the front will send the younger boys to get what is missing.It was against this background that Li Huaixi came into the women's sight, just like the timely rain from the sky, he was immediately caught by a yard of poor and boring women.

He went back to the backyard to give his father, who was too drunk, "the best tea in the house" to "the most interesting buddy to drink", but when he walked to his mother, before he asked for tea, his arm was grabbed.

The one holding him was a woman in her 40s, Xu Shi was used to farm work, her hands were surprisingly strong, she pulled Li Zhuangyuan to her side, rubbed two handfuls of the clothes on Li Huaixi's body and couldn't help admiring, "This is the third boy of your family who won the first prize, right? He looks so handsome! Is he wearing the material cut in the capital? Hey, it's comfortable to the touch! We've never seen it before in this small place..."

Li Huaixi felt goosebumps all over his body, and secretly called out bad luck!In fact, it's not that country women don't know the dignity and inferiority. They usually have to be very respectful when they meet scholars and other famous people, but the bad thing is that Li Huaixi's face is still too tender now, no matter how high his status is outside. , in the eyes of these women who came to congratulate the Li family, he is also a child of this family, and this child is also very promising and beautiful, and he has no psychological burden at all, just like another master's family Like a child.

And in this situation, Li Huaixi could only bear with it. The visitor was a guest, so he had to put on a smiling face and politely follow his mother to call the woman who was holding him "third aunt"...

"The second boy of our family is the same age as your little champion. A few years ago, the head of our family gritted his teeth and sent him to school. It's a pity that it's not that material. After studying for two years, I don't like it. It’s better that your kid taught him well, but he’s too thin. The one in mine is about the same height as him, but he’s strong enough to support his father’s plow when he went to the fields.” 'Third Aunt' squeezed Li Huaixi's thin arms explain.

"Why does the number one scholar want to be so strong? You don't have to go to the fields." Another female guest rolled her eyes at the woman who was talking, and held up the butcher's wife's hand similarly, "Looking at your hand, you know you are a lucky man." Yes, what a blessing and a long life! At such a young age, your son won the first prize and became an official, and you will be indispensable for the first-rank and second-rank orders in the future, but you are blessed to have a good son!"

This is a man who can talk, and the female guests next to him also echoed. The butcher's wife was embarrassed by the words, glanced at her youngest son, and said with a smile, "You don't know that he has been a worry since he was a child. Our family The rest of the bundles are not as violent as him, so there is no need to worry about reading."

"Hey, whose kid doesn't make a fuss? The more fussy he gets, the smarter he is!"

"That's right, those who are asked to do whatever they want will be useless, and the kid must be able to make trouble..."

The women in the room discussed for a while whether "noisy" was related to "smartness", and when Li Huaixi was about to sneak out, the topic suddenly returned to him.

A woman suddenly saw Zhang Matchmaker sitting on the kang drinking water from a long distance, and then she had a magical word-"Ms. Zhang, you have drunk the matchmaker wine from Master Juren, the champion daughter-in-law!" What are you going to look for?"

Daughter-in-law of the champion, this topic pokes the heart of the champion's mother, the butcher's wife chatted with everyone with a stiff face, stood up and found out the tea Li Chengkui asked for and gave it to her youngest son, and said angrily, "Your father is still waiting Where's your tea, let's go, let your father drink less."

After hearing this, Li Huaixi felt amnesty, took the tea and ran away quickly. The women behind were still laughing loudly, "Look, the little champion is embarrassed...", Li Huaixi pretended not to hear it, and said in his heart They were all wrong, and he wasn't embarrassed. His 'Daughter-in-law of the First Scholar' was good-looking, and there was nothing shameful about it, but it was a pity that his mother was not satisfied.

In the end, Li Long was helped into the bridal chamber. Li Huaixi did not go to the bridal chamber due to his identity, but when Li Si came out of the bridal chamber, he was immediately interrogated by his third brother, even if the new sister-in-law had pockmarks on her face. After all the questions were asked, he was let go with a yawn.

Li's house now has two front and back courtyards. Li Long's new house is in the front and the old house is in the back.

After the guests had left, the yard became quiet. The newcomers entered the bridal chamber, and everyone in the Li family fell apart. The wedding candles in the front yard were still lit, but the backyard was already pitch black, except for the occasional voice of Li Chengkui. There was a high snoring, the yard was really silent.

76. The Bride Enters the Door

Li Huaixi didn't make it in time to watch his sister-in-law's new daughter-in-law serve tea to her mother-in-law. He was really tired these few days, and when he got up from the bed the next day, he would have finished his breakfast at home.

The champion of the new department slept late and missed the best time to meet the new family member. After walking around the courtyard twice, he finally failed to save face and met his new sister-in-law in the kitchen, so he simply tiptoed into the main room and He rubbed against his father's side for a few moments and hesitated.

"Father, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, go and ask my mother to bring me some." - Li Huaixi said very brazenly.

His father, Li Chengkui, was studying with a red bronzing book in his hand. Hearing what the younger son said, he pushed the younger son away with his shoulders, and replied without raising his head, "Why did you ask your mother to bring it to you? Your grandma has left food for you, and it’s in the kitchen, take it yourself.”

"My sister-in-law is working inside, how do I get in?" Li Huaixi rolled his eyes, and continued to act like a spoiled child at his father, with one arm around his father's arm, and the other hand rubbing his stomach, with an expression It was also pitiful, and the voice turned to Badaowan, "Father~~~ Please, let my mother bring it out for me, I'm starving to death..."

"You deserve it if you're starving to death," Li Chengkui turned his head and pinched his younger son's nose, joking with a smile, "I haven't seen you sleep in for a while all year round, and you're lazy today, so shame on you! Wait a minute Come on, our family has enough to see that you are hungry, and I will bring them in for you in a while."

After finishing speaking, he handed the red book in his hand to Li Huaixi, "Help Dad read yesterday's gift list, I thought your second brother wrote it big, it was more than ten pages thicker than when he gave Sier a full moon. It turns out that there are more guests than before, and the presents seem to be heavier than in previous years, you hurry up and read to Dad, and our family will be counted when we return gifts in the future."

——It turned out to be a booklet of gift money.

"I haven't eaten yet..." Li Huaixi took the red book with a mutter, and began to read weakly.This job is very boring, even more boring than reading those classics and historical articles during the scientific examination, but Li Huaixi has always had fun in the midst of suffering, and he regained his energy after a while.

"...Father, who is Li Shouzhong?"

"The uncle of your second grandfather's house in the back street."

"Oh, what about Li Shouyi?"

"Your third uncle,..."

"Why is the word 'Shou' in their family?"

"How would I know?! Maybe your second master likes it? Read it quickly!" Li Chengkui began to regret letting his youngest son read it.

"It's so fierce to ask for help..." Li Huaixi muttered, still reading the gift list intermittently. His new pleasure is to match the names of the people on the gift list with the faces of people in reality, so from time to time he would stop to ask his father "Ask for advice" made Li Chengkui very annoyed.However, Li Huaixi himself enjoys it. He is a young man in Lijiazhuang. When he meets people, he usually calls them uncle or uncle. .

One-third of an account book was read, his mother came in with food, followed by a young woman in a red dress, who was Li Long's daughter-in-law.

The butcher's wife reprimanded Li Huaixi while laying out the food. The new mother-in-law has been quite decent so far.

Li Long's daughter-in-law has a round face and is not particularly pretty
