Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

Mrs. Xiao heard that her movements were more gentle. She thought about everything she and her husband had when they were young, "It was an indescribable feeling. We looked at each other occasionally, and we seemed to know what the other was thinking."

"Like someone, that is, he is obviously not by your side, but no matter what you see looks like him, you will miss him."

"Even if we don't meet?"

Fourth Sister Xiao asked.

Mrs. Xiao looked down at her, "Even if we don't meet, we know that the other party will never betray. The source of such certainty is the relationship between the two parties."

never betray...

Fourth Sister Xiao looked at the stove door absent-mindedly, would Ming Lang betray her?

No, he will not betray.

because……

Fourth Sister Xiao bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the smell of blood spread in her mouth, and she suppressed her tears.

He picked up the firewood with his head down and sent it to the stove door.

Because his wife has always been Mrs. Li, so what kind of betrayal is there with her?

In the next few days, Fourth Sister Xiao calmed down a lot. She was not cooking, she was doing embroidery work, and she brought water to her brothers and sisters-in-law in the field from time to time.

Xiao Le didn't bother her too much.

But Simei Xiao's performance in the past few days did not disappoint her.

Xiao Le dug out the foundation of the firewood house, and the next step was to pull the wood. Seeing him going up the mountain alone, Xiao Simei wanted to follow him.

So the two went up the mountain together.

On the way up the mountain, they met Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was carrying a large bundle of firewood by herself, and sweat dripped down her cheeks. When Fourth Sister Xiao passed her by, she could clearly see that Mrs. Li's lips were already white and chapped.

"What are you looking at?"

After walking for a while, seeing Xiao Simei still looking back from time to time, Xiao Le asked.

Fourth Sister Xiao shook her head, "I see that Mrs. Li's complexion is not very good."

"Who is her husband? He is a scholar, a respected scholar. Li Xiucai's hands are used to write, so the family work is naturally on his wife."

Xiao Le's words were blown into Xiao Simei's ears along with the wind.

"To put it bluntly, as long as you are the wife of Li Xiucai, you have to be like this. Fourth sister, don't think that Li's life is easy. Do you remember what she looked like when she married into the Li family?"

What she looked like when she married into the Li family...

Fourth Sister Xiao thought about it carefully for a while. When Mrs. Li first arrived in their village, even though her appearance was not very outstanding, her skin was very juicy.

She still remembered that the sister-in-law said enviously at that time: Look at Mrs. Li's hands, they are as thin and white as green onions, they are really beautiful.

But now?

Just now, Mrs. Li struggled to hold the firewood to prevent the firewood from slipping. The hands were so rough, so black and yellow.

Looking down at her hands again, Fourth Sister Xiao was in a daze.

Xiao Le's voice came from beside him, "Look at the hands of our fourth sister, how beautiful they are."

Xiao Simei hurriedly put her hands behind her back, raised her head and said solemnly, "It's the female lead inside, but the male lead outside. Didn't Li Xiucai give her face back?"

Xiao Le looked at her firmly, "Then do you think, would you rather marry a decent man, or a man who loves his sister-in-law like a big brother?"

"I……"

"My sister-in-law was not feeling well a few days ago, and my elder brother was anxious. He only heard my sister-in-law say the word pheasant, and thought she wanted to eat chicken. After three days of working at Wen's house, I bought chicken with [-] yuan. .”

Fourth Sister Xiao pursed her lips and turned her head away.

"If it were Li Xiucai, Mrs. Li had to work outside for three days, and she would have to rely on the [-] Wen to support her family when she returned home. But Li Xiucai wanted to buy rice paper. Of course, the [-] Wen is not enough, so Mrs. Li has only one choice."

Xiao Le lowered his eyes coldly, "Go out and work hard again, until Li Xiu can buy enough rice paper."

"But with this, is Li Xiucai satisfied? He won't, he still wants books, and he wants to use his wife's hard-earned money to find his former classmates to drink and recite poems."

"How many years has Miss Li been married? She looks older than sister-in-law, but don't forget, Lady Li is ten years younger than sister-in-law!"

Fourth Sister Xiao covered her mouth, she really forgot about it.

Ming Lang kept saying that Mrs. Li was vulgar and ugly, and she was not worthy of him at all.

As if seeing what she was thinking, Xiao Le picked a weed and twirled it with his fingertips, "I'm also a man. In my opinion, Li Xiucai will get bored with such a lady Li sooner or later."

"Why, why?"

Fourth Sister Xiao asked.

"Because he is arrogant and dissatisfied, he forgot that when his wife married, she was also a young woman and a blooming flower, but because of her hard work, she looked even more vicissitude than Li Xiucai."

"Do you think a scholar would introduce himself to his friends, look, the one who is older than me is my wife?"

When Xiao Le said this, his expressions, movements, and tone were very funny, but Fourth Sister Xiao didn't smile at all, she just felt chills all over her body.

"He would secretly choose a young and beautiful girl, and then complain to her, saying that he was forced to marry his cousin, and that she was so vulgar and ugly that he couldn't bear it, and one day he would abandon her and marry her Girls marry into the house."

"Fourth sister, if you were that girl, would you be tempted? Standing in front of you is the youngest scholar in several villages. He is also very handsome, and he has sworn to you and promised good deeds."

Xiao Le asked.

Xiao Simei's face was pale, she always felt that the girl that the third brother was talking about meant something.

"Why is your face so ugly?" Xiao Le looked at her strangely, and then suddenly realized, "Are you scared? Don't worry, I'm just guessing, you definitely won't be that stupid pig girl."

"Okay, don't talk about spoilers, let's go up the mountain quickly, there is still a lot of work."

After Xiao Le finished speaking, he urged her to leave quickly.

Fourth Sister Xiao raised her hand and pinched her own face fiercely. The pain brought her back to her senses and followed closely.

She completely forgot that not long ago, her second and third brothers deliberately said that Li Xiucai and his wife had a good relationship in front of her.

Besides, Li Xiucai, he fell into the stream for no reason that day and hurt his knee, and he hasn't gone out for several days.

Seeing that a scholar I had a good relationship with was about to celebrate the new year, but the family really didn't have much money, and they were on fire right now.

Mrs. Li came back with a heavy load of firewood on her back. Seeing that her face was covered with sweat, Li Xiucai turned her head away in disgust.

It was Li Xiucai's mother who stepped forward to help put down the firewood, "You should carry less at a time, and be careful not to hurt your waist."

After all, it is my own niece, so it is inevitable that I will love it more than ordinary daughters-in-law.

"It's okay, mother." Mrs. Li wiped the sweat off her face and smiled, "It's going to rain in the next few days, so bring more firewood and keep it ready."

Li Xiucai walked out of the room and coughed.

"Sir," Mrs. Li stepped forward, and took out a large leaf-wrapped thing from her bosom. She opened it very carefully, and saw that there were bright red wild berries inside. "Eat some wild berries."

This mountain fruit is sweet and sour, and tastes very good.

But Li Xiucai slapped the mountain fruit to the ground, "How can I eat this wild thing?"

After speaking, he left angrily.

Lady Li lowered her eyes, picked up the wild fruits, washed them carefully, and stuffed them into her mouth one by one.

When she finished eating, she realized that she had burst into tears.

"Hey, don't bother him," the mother-in-law came over and patted her on the shoulder, "It's also his second uncle's fault. He used to borrow money and bullets, but now he suddenly repents and doesn't borrow a word. I remember that day was Wang Xiucai's New Year's Eve celebration, and he was worried about following the ceremony."

In recent years, most of their borrowed money has been borrowed from Uncle Li, because there is no need to repay the money borrowed there.

Moreover, Li Xiucai was very proud, and he was not willing to borrow money from other houses, because he was afraid that people would know that although he was a scholar, he was a poor scholar.

"I know," Mrs. Li looked up and smiled, "I don't blame him."

But she hated him.

Mrs. Li lowered her head to pile firewood, her eyes were full of hatred.

Li Xiucai left the house, walked straight to Xiao's house, stopped under the big banyan tree, then took out the bamboo whistle, and blew there three times.

After waiting quietly for a while, and seeing no response from the Xiao family, Li Xiucai became a little impatient.

Just as he was feeling depressed, Second Brother Xiao came back from the lower road. He came back to get a basket so that he could hunt pigweed.

If I didn't want to, I heard the bamboo whistle and saw the person I didn't like the most.

He hid quickly and took out a stone from his pocket.

Since he knew how to hit people with stones, he has always carried stones with him, and now he finally comes in handy!

"Let you hook up with my sister!"

Brother Xiao aimed at Li Xiucai's arm, threw it over quickly and accurately, and then dodged to the side again.

Li Xiucai yelled in pain, and then shouted, "Who! Who hit me with stones!"

It was daytime, so I could see clearly what was hitting me.

He gasped in pain, but there was nothing around, as if the stone appeared out of thin air!

Just as he turned his back to look around carefully, Second Brother Xiao threw another one at the back of his head!

"what!"

Li Xiucai put his hands on his head and let out a scream!

"Who is it!"

As soon as he finished yelling, he saw an old woman walking towards him leaning on a walking stick, and Li Xiucai was taken aback.

But the old woman squinted her cloudy eyes and looked at him for a while and said, "Which family are you from?"

Li Xiucai frowned, "Wu Po, I'm a man."

"Who asked you? I'll ask the girl next to you. She looks very strange."

girl?Where is the girl?

Li Xiucai looked to the side, but there was nothing there, he trembled with fright, and left quickly.
