Lucky husband

The entire Li family has no relatives in Shanghe Village. After the daughters-in-law of each family returned to their natal families in the second year of junior high school, the Li family and Li Erye's family returned to peace and lived a normal life. Occasionally, people from the village came to visit.

On the fifth day of the fifth day, Village Chief Bai led a woman to the vicinity of Li's house. Li Mingjin, who went out to look for Li Mingxia, saw him and called out sweetly, "Uncle Village Chief, are you coming to see my master?"

Generally speaking, when Village Chief Bai went to the village, he always went to find the head of the family, and the head of the Li family was Old Man Li. Li Mingjin thought that Village Chief Bai had something to do with Old Man Li.

Village head Bai liked Li Mingjin very much, he grabbed a handful of peanuts from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Mingjin's hand: "I'm not looking for your father, the village head uncle is showing you, my aunt, the land, you go play with you. "

"Oh, thank you Uncle Village Chief." Li Mingjin took Peanut and looked curiously at the woman who was following Village Chief Bai.

This woman was not very old, and she had a white filial flower on her head. Seeing Li Mingjin looking at her, she smiled softly at Li Mingjin.

Li Mingjin felt that this aunt was somewhat similar to his own mother, but he couldn't tell exactly how it looked like, so he smiled back, turned and ran to the right room to look for Li Mingxia.

After Li Mingjin left, the woman who followed Village Chief Bai asked, "Village Chief, is that little brother a child of this family?"

"Well, this is the Li family. Their family came to Shanghe Village to settle down decades ago. This is Uncle Li's house, and the yard over there is the second master Li's house. The Li family is just their two brothers. The population is simple and easy to get along with. They are good neighbors without making trouble." Village head Bai explained briefly, and asked, "Bai Yao, what do you think of this piece of land?"

Bai Yao thought for a while and replied: "I think this place is pretty good, the size is right, it's not too far from the village, it's suitable for me to live with my children, but I don't know if the Li family would like to have more neighbors like me. Can I trouble my sister-in-law to come to their house to find out what happened?"

She took her children back to her ancestral home to observe filial piety. The center of the village is too lively, and their orphans and widows are easy to become the target of gossip. It is better to find a remote and quieter place.

I saw this little brother from the Li family just now, and Bai Yao had a good impression of him. He was polite in advance and retreat, lively but not evasive. It can be seen that the Li family's tutor is good, and the location here is the one she saw today. The most satisfactory of the few lands, if the Li family doesn't mind, she will decide to build a house here.

After a little thought, Village Chief Bai agreed to Bai Yao's small request. Although their family is the Bai family, they are all daughters-in-law and children who have never been back to the village. Repairing the house in a timely manner, if the relationship with the neighbors is not handled well, it will be troublesome.

After a while, Village Chief Bai's daughter-in-law came to Li's house with a vegetable basket, stood at the door and shouted, "Ms. Li, are you home?"

Mrs. Li happened to come out from the backyard: "Hey, yes."

After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Zhiyun's body has almost recovered, and the chickens at home are almost killed. Granny Li is cleaning up the chicken coop, preparing to hatch a batch of chickens and raise them.

Patting the dried straw on her body, Mrs. Li saw the village head's daughter-in-law outside the door, and beckoned her into the house: "It's Mrs. Liang, come in and talk, what can you do with me?"

Mrs. Bai walked into the house with a smile on her face. She knew Mrs. Li's temperament, so she directly stated the purpose of her visit: "Ms. Li, there is a piece of land on your side that was previously planned by the village. If there is someone Do you mind if you want to repair the house here?"

Mrs. Li was a little strange. I hadn't heard of anyone planning to marry a new wife or split up the family years ago. Why did someone want to repair the house just after the new year? She asked: "Is it someone from our village who wants to repair the house? Which one?" ?”

Mrs. Bai's daughter-in-law took Mrs. Li to sit down, and told her about the general situation: "It's like this. I don't know if you have any impression of the scholar Bai who passed the exam in the sixth room of our Bai family more than 30 years ago? It's his." Later generations went back to the village to observe their filial piety, and felt that the homestead near your home was suitable, and wanted to build a house here."

Mrs. Li recalled the Bai Xiucai who passed the exam more than 30 years ago. She had just married to the Li family and heard that the Bai family in Shanghe Village had a scholar. She was still very young and felt that the Bai family was very powerful. .

A few years later, Bai Xiucai moved away with his wife and children, saying that he went to Hongyun Prefecture above Changping County. After so many years, he had not seen them come back, and suddenly heard that his descendants returned home to observe filial piety. Granny Li felt that Something weird.

However, people in the village want to build a house. Regardless of whether they agree or not, as long as they pay for the land, they can repair the house. Granny Li made it clear and asked directly: "Ms. Liang, of course it is no problem to repair the house. The old man and I agree I have no opinion, but I am a little curious about what happened to Bai Xiucai's family, please tell me in detail, so that I can know what the new neighbors are like."

Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't object, the wife of village chief Bai told her the specific situation: "People from Uncle Bai's lineage are indeed good at reading, but they are not very lucky. Only then will you know the situation.”

At the beginning, after Bai Xiucai took his wife and children to Hongyun Prefecture, he quickly became a teacher in a school in Hongyun Prefecture. Even though their family moved to the state city, Bai Xiucai could return home with money every month. Should be fine.

In fact, this is not the case. Bai Xiucai is studying while teaching, and he wants to continue to pass the exam. However, it is ten times and a hundred times more difficult to take the exam than the exam. Bai Xiucai has not been able to pass the exam for more than ten years. The life at home The more difficult it was, he became depressed and became ill. After catching a cold during an exam, he fell ill and passed away after more than a month of lingering sickness.

Bai Xiucai was obsessed with learning, and he had only one son under his knees. This son was very competitive. After Bai Xiucai's three-year filial piety, he went to take the imperial examination. Master.

Xiaobai Xiucai's temperament is almost exactly the same as Bai Xiucai's. He decided to teach like Bai Xiucai while continuing to take the entrance exam, so the life of Bai's family is still very tight.

After marrying Bai Yao's family to Xiaobai Xiucai, Bai Xiucai's wife couldn't bear it and passed away.

Fortunately, Bai Yaoshi is good at embroidery. She embroiders at home to make money to subsidize the family. The life of the Bai family is slightly better than that of Bai Xiucai.

It may be because of their similar personalities, the fate of Xiaobai Xiucai and Bai Xiucai are also very similar. He did not fall ill in the examination room, but caught wind and cold on the way to the exam. Xiabai Yaoshi and her child.

When Bai Xiucai passed away, Xiaobai Xiucai was already 15 years old. When he reached the age to support a family, Bai Xiucai's wife chose to stay in Hongyunzhou to continue living for the future of the child.

The Bai Yao family is different. Her husband Xiao Bai Xiucai was younger when he passed away, and her son was only 12 years old. It is too difficult for orphans and widows to live in Hongyun Prefecture. After asking about her son, Bai Yao decided to take her son and elder brother back Xianggong's ancestral home is filial piety, and he will decide how to go in the future when his son Bai Zhiwen is older.

After listening to Mrs. Bai's daughter-in-law talk about what happened to Bai Yao's family, Mrs. Li sighed. It turns out that the life of scholars is not necessarily better than their muddy legs. It is not easy to make a living in the county and state cities.

The wife of village head Bai continued to speak for Bai Yaoshi: "Don't worry, Aunt Li, Bai Yaoshi and her two children have a peaceful temperament. Boy Zhiwen has been studying with his father since he was a child. Looking at it, I feel like your family." Like Mingde and Mingli, they are all good seedlings who can read, and it happens that their three children are about the same age, so when Mingde and Mingli come back from the county school, it is very suitable for them to exchange studies together."

Village head Bai and his wife both know what the people in the village are like. Like village head Bai, she thinks that the land of the Li family is suitable for the Bai Yao family in terms of its location and the size of the homestead. Daughter-in-law Qian Xinghua is a little out of character, but the village is full of bad-mouthed mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Qian Xinghua is the only one here, which is already considered good, so there is no need to be picky.

Mrs. Li learned about the family who might become her new neighbors, and Mrs. Bai's wife found out Mrs. Li's attitude. The two continued to chat for a few words before Mrs. Bai left.

When old man Li came back after visiting his own field, Mrs. Li dragged him into the house and muttered: "Old man, do you think this matter is reliable?"

Old man Li didn't understand what Old Madam Li meant: "As long as it's a decent family, we have a vacant homestead here. Isn't it a matter of time before someone comes to repair the house?"

"What I mean is, when Mrs. Bai Yao brings her son over, do we want to get in touch with them? Xiao Bai Xiucai used to be the master of Zhoucheng School, and the children he taught should be well educated. .” This is what Old Madam Li wanted to say.

"The horoscope has not been written yet. What do you want to do so much? Both Bai Xiucai and Xiaobai Xiucai are scholars. They are the same as the current masters of Mingde and Mingli. If you don’t go out, you don’t go out, so do we, if you can’t get in touch with them, don’t go, so as not to cause trouble.”

What old man Li said was reasonable, but Mrs. Li was not happy. It was related to the study of the two grandchildren. What does the old man mean by pouring cold water vigorously.

If they couldn't talk about going together, Mrs. Li stopped talking to old man Li and continued to tidy up her chicken coop.

On the other side, the daughter-in-law of Village Chief Bai, who returned to her yard, told Mrs. Bai Yao about Mrs. Li's attitude: "The Li family is really good. I'll tell you about the people in the Li family. Brothers and sisters, you should think about it after listening to it." Don't buy the homestead next to their house, it won't be easy to change after you settle it, don't be in a hurry."

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law." Bai Yao smiled gratefully.

When she brought her son and elder brother back to Shanghe Village, she was very nervous. She had never been back to Shanghe Village after she married into her husband's house. The villagers are simple and friendly, and they are much easier to get along with than the people in Zhoucheng. She thinks it is a good decision to go back to the village.
