Pastoral Chronicle of the Talented Talent

Min Jian tugged at his sleeve, Li Min didn't say a word, and walked away with the patriarch. When he walked out of the door, Li Min stopped, turned his head and looked at the yard, and saw two rows of bluestone slabs. The long corridor stretches all the way to the main room. The door of the house is painted with red lacquer carvings. Although it has peeled off a bit, there are still many shadows of the old days.At this moment, the carving had been smashed, and there was a hoe lying beside it with its head tilted. Li Min stepped forward to pick up the hoe, and smiled at Jiang who was chasing after him.

Li Min left after saying that, leaving behind Jiang Shi who had strange eyes but tore the hatred.

Originally, he wanted to go back and get ready, so he set out that night to look for Lang'er.Unexpectedly, the patriarch stopped them and said that they needed to discuss with Li Min about the construction of the embankment.

Li Min looked at the old man with complicated eyes, and he knew in his heart that he must have other things to tell him, and he didn't need him at all to repair the embankment. He's a junior, and he can't even get his turn.

Li Min subconsciously looked at Min Jian next to him, and then heard the patriarch's warm voice in the night fog, "Min Jian has also been busy all night, let's go together."

The two looked at each other, Min Jian didn't care at all, while Li Min nodded.

The patriarch's house is surrounded by blue-gray mud-like low mound walls, passing through the thick and vigorous locust tree in the courtyard, which is as thick as two people hugging each other, and then there is the inner courtyard of the second entrance, with stone paving But the neatly arranged stone roads, due to the passage of time, only feel that the soles of the feet are slippery when walking on them. Looking up at the house directly opposite, the wide door is wide open, and the scent of delicious food floats into the nostrils. For a while, Li Min felt as if he had wandered into a beautiful restaurant, and all the cells in his body became active.

Ran'er and Zhi'er did not know when they had already left, Aunt Zhao had already left halfway, Li Min sent the leopard back to the field, and for a while only the patriarch came to his house with two young people, "I've been busy all night, you guys You should be hungry too, let’s have a full meal first, and then we’ll talk.”

The patriarch turned his head to greet Li Min, and walked towards the house with a cane. Inside the house was a table of eight immortals carved in pear blossom wood, on which were filled with delicious and oily meals. A wide variety of dishes, and mouth-watering white rice.

Min Jian blew his whistle, and then strode in. Li Min felt a wild dragon roaring in his belly, clamoring for food.Just seeing the patriarch put the faded cloth towel in his hand on the table not far away, the appetite in Li Min's stomach retreated like a sap in the head, and he lowered his head With a secret sigh, he cupped his hands towards the patriarch, "Patriarch, if you have anything to say, hurry up, Min'er wants to find Li Lang quickly."

How could he be able to eat when his own brother was still alive and dead outside?

As soon as Li Min said this, Min Jian, who was still raising his excited face just now, couldn't help but stop, scratched his head and smiled.

"This old man is about the same age as your dead grandfather, Min'er, just call me grandpa!" The patriarch cleaned his hands and asked Li Min and others to clean their hands, "Lang'er must be found, but you have to clean your stomach first." Feed."

"It's Grandpa Li."

After cleaning their hands, Li Min and the others also joined the table. Looking at the abundance of food on the table, every dish was piping hot, obviously just out of the pot. Li Min asked politely and respectfully, "There are too many dishes. Why don't you invite grandma to come out for dinner?"

"There are so many rules, she slept and slept!"

The patriarch Li Qifu was startled when he heard the words, knowing that Li Min had seen through his own thoughts, he immediately stopped hiding it and put a piece of meat into the child's porcelain bowl, and watched him eat it, so he said, "Your second uncle Although Li Mu wants to pay for the construction of the embankment, the money spent is actually all yours. Min'er, it is a good thing to build the embankment for the villagers, but it has wronged you."

Li Qifu saw Li Min's performance tonight and kept it in his heart. He guessed that the person in front of him was different from the past, and he might have to return all the family property and money occupied by Li's second son. Now he made the decision. , let Li Laoer spit out some money to build the embankment, is Li Min sincerely willing?

Li Min quickly swallowed the piece of chicken, with complicated emotions, he didn't taste much, he swallowed the big bowl of soup in front of him, he settled the meal hastily, and then concentrated on answering the patriarch's question .

"This is a matter of the Li clan. I believe Second Uncle is willing to do it. How could Min'er mind it? Not only does she not mind, but she will also work with Second Uncle to build the embankment of the natural river."

When he said this, Min Jian beside him also ate hastily.There was a large table of dishes, and the two of them didn't move at all.

When Li Min looked back at him, he was wiping his beard and listening with his eyes wide open.When he saw Li Min looking at him, he immediately grinned, and then Li Min realized that Min Orion had a row of snow-white and lovely teeth.

"it is good!"

Hearing Li Min's imposing words, Li Qifu also slapped his thigh confidently, called Li Bian, who was his own wife, and removed the table of food, and immediately put on a table of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

When Li Min saw it, his heart was pounding for no reason. He saw the huge inkstone that was full of ink, and then he saw the table covered with rice paper. The brush was thicker than his finger, but the tip was as thin as a needle. .

Li Min was in a panic, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the patriarch's gourd.

"Min'er, I want you to assist me with this embankment project. You are the only scholar in our village and a man of the clan. Now it is appropriate for you to write this notice."

"What do you want to write?" Li Min looked at Li Qifu, thinking that the meal was fake, but writing this notice was true.

"Write that your Li family is going to take care of the river embankment, and tell the whole village." Li Qifu said, with a smile on his face, causing wrinkles. He became more and more mysterious, and came to Li Min in a low voice and reserved. Di said, "Ever since your father Li Xin left, your Li family has no backbone. Don't you want me to be your backbone in the future?"

Li Min was startled when he heard this, and when he came to his senses, he looked at the patriarch with bright eyes, and his heart was tumbling with excitement. He never thought that his wish would be so easy to come true. He seemed to see that when he came back from hunting again, he was carrying Cao Heng left, and most of the men from Mushui Village also left with them.It can be seen from this that in the eyes of Mushui Village people, he doesn't even count as a fart.

Now that the patriarch wants him to write this notice, it is obvious that he is giving him a favor. He is the one who mentioned the good thing of building a river embankment and diverting water for irrigation. Who in Mushui Village would refuse such a thing, and who would treat Li Min as an ass? look?

"Grandpa Li, you..."

Li Min really didn't expect that the patriarch would help him like this.

There is a saying that goes well, the tea is cold when people go away.

Father Li died, and the eldest son of the Li family was left with three orphans and widows. No one is there to help.The world is so cold, he believes that icing on the cake makes things worse, but he doesn't believe in such a good thing as giving charcoal in the snow. The world can only be done by himself, but the patriarch's actions are beyond his expectations!

Li Qifu looked at Li Min with a smile, and said simply, "If it was muddy, I wouldn't waste my time like this. If I'm not mistaken, the current Min'er is not what it used to be after all."

The appearance of Li Min after returning from beating wolves, although Li Qifu is old, he is right to see, this young man is frail and thin, but under the package of this appearance, he has a strong backbone!When Li was leaving with Cao Heng and the men of the whole village, he happened to see Li Min's eyes in the dark night. They were eyes that would never back down even after all kinds of tortures. In his eyes, he believes that no one can get cheap.He felt that Min'er in front of him could achieve something.

As Li Qifu said, he nodded at the rice paper on the table, "In the past, the elders of the clan made the drafts, but today I let you write it. You are a talented person in the whole village, could it be that you are not as good as those old fellows? Draw it up soon, so I can ask Zhier to post it."

Li Min nodded quickly, picked up the Langhao and was about to start writing, but unexpectedly the tip of the brush touched the rice paper and made an ink blot, which abruptly stopped Li Min from worrying!

He inherited everything from the original owner, even remembering the poems clearly, but this soul does not belong to the original owner, he cannot draw the original owner's handwriting, let alone write some uncommon and difficult traditional characters... The soul is different, How could he write the original owner's beautiful block letters?

For so many years, the Chinese characters he has practiced the most are only two characters: Li Jin.That was the name of his previous life, used for signature.As for the other square characters, he thought it was horrible.But now you want to show this word again?

"Min'er, what's the matter?"

The patriarch asked in surprise, "Could it be that you are thinking about the content of this notice? It's okay, you can write even if you think about it. After all, this is not an exam. The village is full of rough people, so they don't have so many ideas."

Li Min gritted his teeth, bit the bullet, and wrote it!

Li Qifu didn't recover from his surprise until Li Min sent the written notice to the patriarch. On the three-foot long and wide rice paper, there were only a few words written here and there: Build the embankment tomorrow!Signed: Li's Ancestral Hall Min.

But ten words, fully occupying the entire rice paper!

The head of the patriarch was stunned, staring straight at the square characters that were still blotted with ink, which seemed to be crawling. He didn't recover for a long time.

Min Jian next to him didn't see the way. He knew a few words, but the words written by Min'er seemed to be a combination of the words he knew, and they were like building a city wall. They lined up until they reached the bottom of the rice paper, and finally he recognized the last word, which was the word "Min".
