Lucky husband

At Bai Zhiwen's age, Bai Yaoshi has already begun to teach him to pay attention to the defense between men and women, as well as between boys and brothers. What's more, his current status is rather embarrassing and he has to keep his filial piety. Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingjin look at each other After taking a breath or two, he realized that something was wrong, he smiled at Li Mingjin imperceptibly, and took the initiative to look away.

Bai Yaoshi was right next to Bai Zhiwen, she noticed her son's eye contact with the little brother next door, she knew that it was the father of the little brother from Li's family who was working as a servant in the county government, so he smiled kindly at Li Mingjin.

Li Mingjin met Bai Yaoshi once more than ten days ago. He had an impression of Bai Yaoshi, and felt that she was very similar to his own mother.

At the same time, Li Mingjin noticed that Bai Yao was holding a little brother who was about the same height as Li Mingyue. After seeing that little brother, he looked happier than before. He didn't expect that there would be a man with him in the new neighbor's house. The same little brother, in the future he will have one more friend who can play with him in Shanghe Village.

Seeing who the new neighbors are, Li Mingjin hopped back to the left room and told Jiang Zhiyun what he found: "Mother, the aunt I saw that day is our new neighbor, she has a pretty smile , I think she is very similar to you, but I can't tell what you are like."

"There is also a brother who is about the same height as the elder brother, and a younger brother who is about the same height as Mingyue. That elder brother is wearing a long robe and looks thinner than the elder brother. He also looks good when he smiles."

"My younger brother is a brother. I think he looks a bit like my cousin. He is timid. He hid behind that aunt and didn't even look at me. I wanted to wave to him at that time."

Talking to Li Mingjin that she didn't know the specific meaning of keeping filial piety, Jiang Zhiyun tried to persuade him in another way: "Brother Jin, they just moved here and everyone is not familiar with them, so don't rush over rashly and scare the little brother .”

"Mom, I got it." Li Mingjin, who thought he had experience getting along with his shy cousin, nodded like a little adult. He will be nine years old soon, so he won't be as frizzy as he was when he was a child.

Li Mingjin has always been obedient, Jiang Zhiyun didn't want to talk too much to annoy him, so she let him go out to play in the yard by himself.

At this time, Old Madam Li was carrying a jar of realgar wine and was about to go out. Li Mingjin saw it and followed her.

Seeing this, old lady Li told him: "Brother Jin, stay away, the grandmother is holding realgar wine in her hand, children should not touch it."

"Grandma, is this for the new neighbors?" Li Mingjin asked curiously, he obediently took a step away, tiptoed to see what the wine in the jar looked like, whether it was the wine he drank with his dad Same.

Old Madam Li nodded: "Well, you'd better not follow, the snake will come out later and be careful not to scare you."

Hearing that he was not allowed to pass, Li Mingjin looked at Old Madam Li pitifully: "Grandma, can I just take a look from a distance?"

Mrs. Li talked about the appearance of the snake to scare Li Mingjin: "Brother Jin, have you ever seen a snake before? Snakes crawl on the ground and are long and thin. I heard from your master that the skin of the snake is a little slippery. There is no temperature, if you are entangled by a snake, it will entangle you in circles, getting tighter and tighter, it is scary."

Li Mingjin's skin was aroused by Mrs. Li's description. He had a scared expression on his face, but he still wanted to follow and insisted, "Grandma, I'll stand far away later. Just stand in the clearing, okay?"

"As long as you are not afraid." Granny Li agreed, she turned her head and warned Li Mingjin solemnly, "It is because there are so many adults present that grandma allows you to stand far away. In the future, if it is only you or you and a few of you When a child sees a snake, he must immediately call an adult, you know?"

"I know." Li Mingjin nodded in agreement.

Li Mingjin has always been an obedient child. Seeing that he agreed, the old lady Li nodded, and walked to the gate of the Bai family's yard with the wine jar: "Bai's daughter-in-law, have you moved to a new house and sprinkled realgar wine yet?"

"This is Mrs. Li's family, right?" Bai Yao just noticed someone coming out of the yard next door. She remembered that Village Chief Bai said that this yard belonged to Mrs. Li's family, and it should be Mrs. Li who came out of it.

Mrs. Li agreed: "It's me. I see that you are planning to move the furniture in without sprinkling realgar wine in advance. It's not safe. I happen to have soaked realgar wine at home. I'll send you a jar. First, find someone to put the realgar wine in the room." Let's scatter around."

When Bai Yao was in her natal family, she seemed to have heard people say that realgar wine is not only used during the Dragon Boat Festival every year, but also sprinkled with realgar wine before entering a house that has not been occupied all year round. After living in, there is no need to worry about snakes, rats, insects and ants.

This time she moved to a new house, she didn't think about it in such a hurry, but fortunately, the Li family who lived next door were warm-hearted, and saw that they didn't send it over.

I heard Village Chief Bai say that Aunt Li is a straightforward and easy-going person, but Bai Yao was not polite, took the wine jar and thanked him: "Thank you, Aunt Li, I am a woman with two children and I have no experience. Just moved things in, this jar of realgar wine is for you to save for the Dragon Boat Festival, I will go buy wine and realgar soaked in it for you in two days and send it back.”

"A can of wine is not worth anything, you just use it first." Mrs. Li waved her hand.

She observed that this daughter-in-law of the Bai family spoke and acted a bit like her third daughter-in-law. Wen Wenjing looked reasonable, and she was probably literate. It's good for such a person to be a neighbor.

Bai Zhiwen led his younger brother out and thanked Mrs. Li. He had met Mrs. Li and Li Mingjin, and he felt that the Li family was really good. He was going to wait for the two scholars from the Li family who went to school to come back, and find a chance to do the same with them. Get to know each other.

Mrs. Li also liked Bai Zhiwen very much. Just like the village head Bai said, he looked like a good seedling who was studying: "Good boy, your family will live in Shanghe Village with peace of mind in the future. If you have any problems, just come to the next door to find him." us."

The carpenter who helped move the furniture went in first with a jar and sprinkled realgar wine, which slightly opened up the taste.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, it was estimated that the smell of alcohol in the room was almost gone, before the carpenter called the apprentices to move things in.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw a thin and long thing slowly moving towards the door, which startled him: "There is a snake!"

Granny Li’s clenched hands relax, as soon as the snake comes out, Brother Jin dreamed that the carpenter who moved the furniture was bitten by a snake, and she was worried that the hibernating snake would not be stimulated by the realgar wine, and was still in the corner of the house Now it seems that realgar wine is useful, and the snake is easy to deal with when it is found.

It was still cold and the snake was stiff, so the carpenter picked up a long branch and threw the snake outside, and then killed it with stones.

Everyone was startled when they saw the snake, especially Bai Yao. She broke out in a cold sweat under the sun. She didn't dare to think that if she didn't find this snake when she moved today, the mother and her son would live in it. ,what happens.

Bai Zhiwen was also a little frightened. Although he matured precociously, he was still a child. His whole body tensed up, and he tightly held his younger brother Bai Ziyi's hand.

A snake was found in the house, and the carpenter didn't dare to go in casually. He put the bed at the door, and used the long branch that picked up the snake just now, to test all corners of the house, and after confirming that there was no second snake inside, Only then did I ask my apprentice to move the things in one by one.

Although Li Mingjin stood far away and didn't get close just now, it was enough for him to see the snake's appearance clearly. The pattern of the snake's skin made him feel very uncomfortable, so he turned around and ran home.

After all the things were moved, Bai Yao's pounding heart slowly recovered. Her gratitude to Mrs. Li rose again, and she held Mrs. Li's hand with tears in her eyes. She wanted to say thank you but couldn't say it.

Mrs. Li patted her and comforted her in a low voice: "It's all right, it's all right, the house is safe, hurry up and see if the two children are frightened, and put away the things later. People's money, should I pay more for shocking?"

Seeing that their orphans and widows were left unattended, Mrs. Li reminded them a few words.

Bai Yaoshi turned her head and saw the two children leaning against each other without speaking, she suddenly burst out with infinite courage, she looked at Granny Li gratefully again, stepped forward and hugged her two children: "It's okay, mother is here Well, the family will be safe from now on, don't be afraid Zhiwen, don't be afraid, Brother Yi."

After the carpenters put the furniture away, Bai Yao gave them an extra [-] Wen as a shock fee, thanking them for eliminating the hidden dangers that would erupt at any time at home.

As for the gratitude to the Li family, it can't be understood by money, Bai Yaoshi kept this feeling in his heart.

On the other hand, the old man Li, who had gone to the county, met Li Chengshi in the county government. After he relayed Brother Jin's dream, Li Chengshi immediately called a few brothers who had a good relationship with him and said he would invite them to eat rice noodles.

The officers of the county government all knew that the rice noodle Li Chengshi was talking about was the broth rice noodle set up by his elder brother, and they probably wanted them to take care of the rice noodle stall when they patrolled in the future, but they didn't refuse.

Li Chengshi did not say that someone would come to make trouble later, he introduced his eldest brother to a few brothers when he arrived at the rice noodle stall, and then called everyone to sit down and eat rice noodles.

After a while, as expected in Li Mingjin's dream, three idlers who often appeared in the small alleys of the county town came. As soon as they came, they said that there was something wrong with the broth rice noodles.

If Li Chengshi and the others were not there, the future would definitely develop like in a dream, but with Li Chengshi present, he stood up and asked those bums righteously: "We are servants of the county government, since you said there is something wrong with this rice noodle , then you can tell me clearly when you came to eat rice noodles, and which pharmacy you went to see a doctor and get your medicine, all of this can be witnessed and materially evidenced, if what you said is true, we will deal with it impartially."

The more fair Li Chengshi said, the more guilty those bastards became. They took other people's money to trouble this rice noodle stall. Just like the proprietress said, they had never eaten this rice noodle at all. I didn't go to the pharmacy, where can I find witnesses and physical evidence.

After asking a few more questions, the bums faltered and couldn't explain clearly, Li Chengshi sneered, and made a gesture to tie them up and take them back to the county government, saying that they disturbed the law and order on the street.

This frightened the bums, they told the story of being bribed, and begged the officials not to arrest them.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Chengshi, together with the guards who came to eat rice noodles, kept the high soup casserole rice noodle stall innocent.
