Lucky husband

Li Chengzhi, old man Li and old lady Li didn't get up until Jiang Zhiyun and Bai Xiuhe's sister-in-law finished their work on the kitchen.

Jiang Zhiyun was anxious, she wanted to find Old Madam Li and they said that wolves were coming into the village, but they didn't want to attract the attention of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, so she could only hold back, and went back to the house twice to see if Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang were awake. .

Li Mingjin just woke up at this time. When Jiang Zhiyun entered the room, he was opening his eyes, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar roof, somewhat unresponsive.

"Brother Jin, do you want to get up?" Jiang Zhiyun walked over to him and asked him.

"Mother?" Li Mingjin turned his head, what happened last night slowly appeared in his mind after seeing Jiang Zhiyun, "Mother, there will be wolves tonight!"

"Shhhh...mother got it, Brother Jin, don't be afraid, mother will tell your grandma later, it's okay, wolves won't come into our house, everyone will be safe." Jiang Zhiyun stroked Li Mingjin's hair , looked at him lovingly and worriedly.

To be honest, Jiang Zhiyun didn't want her child to have these messy dreams at all. He should be happy and carefree every day at such a young age. It's good that she and her husband are responsible for these annoying things.

Li Mingjin couldn't understand his mother's complex expression. After confirming that he had told his mother the content of the dream, he looked up at the bedside and said embarrassedly: "Mom, my shoes and coat are all in my room. Here, please bring it over for me."

Last night, he ran to his mother with his bare feet, crying in her arms. Li Mingjin was extremely embarrassed. He felt that he was about to be nine years old. He should be like a big child and be brave. This must not happen again in the future!

Jiang Zhi patted him and went to his room to get him shoes and clothes.

When Li Mingjin got dressed and went out, Jiang Zhiyun picked up the diaper Li Mingkang had replaced and the cloth towel that wiped Li Mingjin's feet last night and went out to wash them together.

After the family members had breakfast, Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe went out to collect firewood, and Jiang Zhiyun went to old lady Li and old man Li.

"Father, mother, Brother Jin had a dream last night." Jiang Zhiyun's expression was serious, and she could tell at a glance that what she was going to talk about in a while was not going to be an easy dream.

Old Madam Li raised her eyebrows: "Tell me, what's the matter with this dream."

"Wolf, Brother Jin dreamed that a pack of wolves would come down the mountain and enter the village tonight." Jiang Zhiyun felt terrified at the mention of wolves, "The wolves came down the mountain in the middle of the night, mother, should we tell the villagers in advance?"

"What? Wolves?" Mrs. Li gasped. It was definitely a big event for the wolves to go down the mountain, and it would affect the whole village.

When she first learned that there was a drought this year, Mrs. Li asked Li Chengshi to go to the blacksmith shop in the county to buy four knives, just in case there were beasts coming down the mountain, and the family would have weapons to deal with it. She expected it.

Mrs. Li originally planned to ask her old man to go to Village Chief Bai to talk about it after the drought was confirmed, and take everyone to strengthen the courtyard wall of the house, but after the drought, she got busy and forgot about it. That's too late.

"Can't tell the villagers at this moment, was anyone bitten by a wolf in brother Jin's dream?" Old Madam Li asked.

"Probably not, Brother Jin said that after the wolves went down the mountain in the middle of the night, the dogs in the village kept barking, which woke us up. Mother asked Dad and Brother to close the courtyard door, and everyone sat in the main room together. Dad and Brother He was guarding the door with a bone-chopping knife, and then there were some strange sounds outside, Brother Jin woke up at dawn in his dream, and he didn't hear crying in his dream, so no one should be injured."

Jiang Zhiyun listened to Li Mingjin's detailed account of his dream, and answered Mrs. Li's questions very smoothly. She felt that Brother Jin should be right.

It has to be said that it is good for someone in the village to have a dog. It can be used as an early warning. The wolves are coming down the mountain and the dogs keep barking, letting the villagers know that the danger is approaching.

In the past, Mrs. Li didn't like keeping dogs very much. She thought dogs were noisy, so Li's family didn't have dogs.

Old lady Li thought the same as Jiang Zhiyun, if there was no crying, then no one should be injured, so she couldn't tell the villagers about it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to answer how she knew when asked.

Now that she had made up her mind not to tell the villagers, Mrs. Li got up normally, did things, and prepared lunch.

However, during the noon meal, Mrs. Li reduced the amount of cooking, and after everyone had eaten, she said: "I don't know when the drought will pass, so our family will work less in the future. Sun, you all take your children back to your room to have a good rest and sleep, and you won’t be so hungry if you don’t move around so much.”

After finishing speaking, she and old man Li went back to the house first to rest. She planned to sleep for an hour or two in the afternoon. There would be a fierce battle tonight.

Dafang and his wife had no doubts, they took Li Mingyue to wash up a bit, and then took a nice nap.

Jiang Zhiyun also took Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang to sleep, so that she would be more refreshed when the wolves appeared at night.

Li's house was quiet, no one spoke, and no sound was made. Mistress Li came to talk to Mrs. Li, but she knocked on the door a few times and no one answered, so she had to leave.

Because of the quietness, she slept for a long time during this afternoon nap, and Bai Xiuhe was the first to wake up. Seeing that the sunlight outside was no longer dazzling, she suddenly jumped up from the bed: "What a mess, I slept for too long."

Sitting up to arrange clothes and put on shoes, she walked to the main room and found that her parents' room and the left room were unexpectedly quiet.

Bai Xiuhe suddenly panicked, she went back to the room and woke up Li Chengzhi, who was still lazily lying on the bed: "Chengzhi, Chengzhi, why is it so quiet at the parents' side? Get up and take a look, I'll go and see the third sibling, Is our family in trouble, thieves and thieves, everyone sleeps so deeply..."

Go outside the left room and knock on the door: "Third sibling, third sibling, are you there?"

Jiang Zhiyun's voice came from inside after a while: "Sister-in-law?"

Bai Xiuhe looked at Jiang Zhiyun who was still a little sleepy, and asked in surprise, "You just woke up too?"

Jiang Zhiyun woke up too early last night, and she fell asleep as soon as she lay down at noon today. If Bai Xiuhe hadn't knocked on the door, she probably wouldn't have woken up: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"Why did our family sleep so soundly? Did thieves steal our house, like those opera singers, who used some kind of ecstasy powder to stun us so that we could enter the house and steal money." Bai Xiuhe set up a stall outside to sell After eating rice noodles for several months, and hearing many strange stories from the guests, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was the same thing.

"When you wake up, go back and see if the money at home is still there. I'll go and check our food." After speaking, Bai Xiuhe turned around and left to look at the room where the food was stored in the main house.

Jiang Zhiyun was shocked by her sister-in-law's guess, she did not refuse her sister-in-law's kindness, went back to the house and took the key to open the cabinet to have a look

Fortunately, the small locked box at the bottom of the cabinet was intact, and the silver accumulated in the small box was still there.

The same is true for Li Chengzhi. After waking up old man Li and old lady Li, he also told them that he suspected that the family members were all asleep because they were stolen by thieves, and asked old lady Li to see if the money in the house was still there. .

Old Madam Li hid silver, part of it was placed in the cabinet, part of it was placed under a movable brick under the bed, and part of it was sewn into the pillow by her.

Although she felt that Li Chengzhi's speculation was nonsense, after her son had left, Mrs. Li checked the places where she put the money one by one to see if the money was still there.

The silver under the pillow is definitely still there, and the silver under the bed is fine. Relatively speaking, the loose silver and copper plates in the cabinet are a little easier to find, and they also stay in the cabinet without moving.

Everyone napped for a long time today, either because there was a thief at home, or because everyone was fast asleep.

After confirming that the money was all right, Mrs. Li walked out of the room, stood in the yard and cursed angrily: "You two are really powerful, you sold your brains out when you went out to do business, why did you say that your house was robbed? Don't even look at the blue sky, which thief is so courageous."

Li Chengzhi chuckled: "Mother, our family is sleeping too soundly, Xiuhe and I find it strange."

Old Madam Li rolled her eyes: "It's just right to sleep soundly, do less activity and eat less."

By this time on weekdays, everyone should be hungry. Today, everyone was lying on the bed and sleeping, and they didn't feel very hungry when they woke up.

After laughing and scolding her son, Mrs. Li started to cook dinner slowly in the kitchen with Bai Xiuhe.

At dinner, Mrs. Li asked Bai Xiuhe to replace the sweet potatoes with taro of the same amount: "I just ate sweet potatoes at noon, and it was a bit boring. I will eat taro at night for a different taste."

Compared with sweet potatoes, taro is more filling. I have to get up in the middle of the night to guard against wolf. It is not easy to cook at that time, and I have to eat more for dinner. Granny Li will try to delay the time as much as possible to eat later. .

Everyone who was eating saw that there seemed to be a little more food on the table than at noon, and no one except Mrs. Li and Jiang Zhiyun noticed something was wrong, and happily finished dinner in the sunset.

After eating and talking for a while, it's time to wash up and go to bed. People who know what will happen at night can't sleep well. Jiang Zhiyun asked Li Mingjin to sleep with her tonight, so that he wouldn't be afraid when he woke up in the middle of the night.

Li Mingjin didn't refuse, and happily went to his parents' room with his little quilt and pillow in his arms, and fell asleep after a while.

As for Mrs. Li, she thought that the walls of her house were strong, and she had a bone-chopping knife at home. She closed the doors and windows before going to bed at night, so there should be no danger, but she couldn't sleep, so she took old man Li say.

Old man Li slept a lot in the afternoon and was still not sleepy at this time, listening to Mrs. Li's words from time to time echoing a few words.

When they were both in a daze and about to fall asleep, the dogs in the village suddenly barked, not one or two, but all the dogs were barking, very anxiously.

If you listen carefully, you can distinguish one or two wolf howls from the barking of the dog. The old man Li and the old lady Li screamed at the same time, and the old lady Li sat up from the bed: "The wolf is coming!"
