Lucky husband

What happened in Lijia Village had nothing to do with Li Chengli and the others who had already left.

Liming just followed behind his father, with his head drooping. He was actually very tired from walking now, but he didn't dare to yell, and he didn't dare to find his mother when he was tired like before, let his father carry it, or let his father carry it. He was led by his two older sisters, gritted his teeth and endured the pain and tiredness, and walked behind.

Although Li Chengli didn't turn his head to look at Li Mingcai, but when he found his son following up, he still slowed down to make sure that Li Mingcai would catch up and not fall behind.

Before returning to the village, the two went to Qian's house in Qiantan Village. Li Chengli told Mrs. Qian what happened today, and explained what he meant, mainly to tell them that if Liming came to Qiantan Village in the future, they would leave him alone. .

Granny Qian was taken aback for a moment. She was surprised by what her grandson did. After thinking for a while, Granny Qian agreed to Li Chengli's request. She was also really worried that this bold grandson would do something else in the future. Out of the ordinary.

Liming only heard his grandmother agreed with his own ears, and his heart immediately cooled down. He looked at Qian's family resentfully, thinking that you don't want him to come now. None of them took any notice.

This look was seen by Granny Qian, and Granny Qian was also heartbroken. This grandson is just like her daughter, her heart is cold, and she can't cover it. Most of her love and distress for Li Mingcai have dissipated, and her expression is also indifferent. down.

Li Chengli didn't notice the change in Mrs. Qian's attitude. Anyway, he left Qiantan Village with his son and returned to Shanghe Village after he finished what he had to say.

At dawn, his feet were already very painful. In the morning, he walked halfway from the village where he was studying to Qiantan Village. After dinner, he walked from Qiantan Village to Lijia Village by himself, and then followed Li Chengli from Lijia Village to Qiantan. Village, without resting for a while, he rushed to Shanghe Village non-stop.

To be honest, Mr. Li Chengli is a little tired after walking for so long, but he thinks that there is still work in the field, and if he goes back late, today's work will not be finished, so he doesn't want to stop and rest. I still want to go faster.

Looking back at Li Mingcai who gritted his teeth and walked hard behind, Li Chengli wiped the sweat off his brow: "Mingcai, Dad has to hurry back to work, do you want to follow Dad, or take a rest and go back by yourself."

Anyway, Liming didn't know how to go back to Shanghe Village from Qiantan Village, and he was so capable that he ran to several villages by himself today, so Li Chengli felt that it was no problem to let Liming go back to the village by himself.

As a result, Li Mingcai panicked when he heard Li Chengli's words. He was so tired that he couldn't hear clearly, thinking that his father was dissatisfied with his walking too slowly and didn't want him to follow, so he said in fright: "Father, I will listen to you. Follow you, don't throw me here."

Li Chengli thought for a while and probably understood why his son said such things, he knelt down and patted Li Mingcai: "Isn't Dad going to leave you here, Dad has to rush home to work first, you know the way home from here Come on, Dad sees that you are quite tired from walking, so you rest here for a while, and then go home slowly when you have strength."

Seeing his father with a relaxed expression, Li Mingcai's uneasiness dissipated a little, but what happened today still made him a little scared, and he didn't want to go alone: ​​"Father, I can walk with you, I'm not tired."

If Liming could be as sensible as he is now, Li Chengli would be very relieved and happy, but he is not happy now, sighing: "Okay, then follow me and continue walking, if you can't walk, remember explain."

The two walked one after another. Although Li Chengli was anxious to go back to work, seeing his son struggling to follow him, he slowed down, thinking that it would be a big deal to go back to work later and work later.

Because he walked very slowly, he didn't know how long he finally saw the house in Shanghe Village, and the shallow river between the two villages was also close in front of him. Li Chengli asked Liming again this time and said he would go first.

Liming was not as scared as before. He nodded and agreed. Coming here is equivalent to returning to Shanghe Village. He grew up in the village. He can find every path, and he doesn't feel unfamiliar with the place. .

Li Chengli went home to get the hoe first, and then he went to the old lady Li next door and told his mother that he picked it up at dawn, and he estimated that he would be home in a while.

"Why does it take a while tomorrow?" Seeing that her second son couldn't figure out the situation, Mrs. Li logically said that the father and son came back together, so why is it one behind the other.

"I'm in a hurry to come back to do the work in the field. I'll come back first when I enter the village. Tomorrow will be behind, so I won't get in the way." Li Chengli explained, then left with a hoe on his shoulders, leaving behind a hurried back, he went out It is not clear what happened on the trip.

Old Madam Li frowned. She looked behind Li Chengli, but she didn't see Li Mingcai's figure. She didn't know where the child had gone now, whether she was afraid of coming back to be scolded, or was resting on the side of the road because she couldn't walk.

Mrs. Li has already vented her anger at this moment, and she will ask her second child what happened later when she is free, and she is not going to hold on to Li Ming.

Since her son's reply was reassuring, Mrs. Li walked to the left room and said to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter who were distracted inside: "Mingcai picked it up, you can all work with peace of mind." Alright."

The reason why she came here to say this more is because Mrs. Li glanced at the left room just now and found that the three people in the room were all holding the embroidery frame and did not do much. She guessed that they were worried about Li Mingcai.

Sure enough, as soon as she told them, the three women in the room breathed a sigh of relief and started to do things.

From this day on, Liming really didn't go to the private school to study anymore. He experienced a lot that day, maybe because he was afraid, maybe because he understood, he honestly followed Li Chengli to start farming, occasionally being lazy, not Obviously Li Chengli didn't insist on pressing him to do it, anyway, this was just the beginning, and he would have to do all these jobs in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October, and the sweet potatoes in the field were collected. Bai Chen came back again, and Li Mingchun had saved up to seventy cash.

There was also news about Qian Xinghua from Lijia Village. Her new mother-in-law, Li Manziniang, insisted that Qian Xinghua was pregnant with a worthless girl, and she would not let Qian Xinghua see her doctor or buy her a baby. medicine, and wanted her to work.

However, I heard that Qian Xinghua had captured her husband-in-law. Li Mangzi was different from his mother. He only thought that Qian Xinghua was pregnant with a boy, so if his mother wanted Qian Xinghua to work, he would protect her and return it to her. Qian Xinghua got some meat to eat, and Qian Xinghua's baby, who kept going back and forth, survived, and I heard it was not bad.

The Li family didn't hear what happened there. A person who has been divorced has nothing to do with them whether Li Qian has a son, a daughter, or a brother in the Li family.

But because the weather turned cold, Li’s rice noodles started to welcome a new round of customers, and the cold rice noodles business was still going on. Li Chengzhi and the others were too busy to care about soup rice noodles and fish soup rice noodles. Don't ask his second brother to help, anyway, the second brother doesn't have much farm work at the moment.

Before Li Chengzhi could make a decision, Shanghe Village first welcomed Zhang Anhao in a carriage.

Back then, Zhang Anhao left Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde to read two books and one to the other. After all, Li Mingde had to attend classes and do homework in school, and his spare time was limited.

Zhang Anhao asked the little servant Wenzhu to go directly to Li's house. This time Li Mingjin didn't dream about it in advance, but because the work in the field was almost done, old man Li and Li Chengshi both stayed at home and did not go to the field.

The man in the house was there, and the courtyard door was wide open. As soon as the carriage came, Li Chengshi, who was helping to repair hoes and sickles in the yard, saw the people outside at a glance, and shouted in surprise: "Mr. Zhang!"

When he shouted, the old man Li and the old lady Li who were in the other corner of the yard also heard it. They turned their heads to look at the familiar yet unfamiliar carriage outside, and it took a while to realize who this person was.

"Old man, why did this Mr. Zhang come to our house again?" Mrs. Li murmured to Mrs. Li as she watched her son go out to meet Mr. Zhang who got off the carriage.

How could old man Li know? He had only met this gentle and elegant old Mr. Zhang once. He didn't say a few words, and no one knew what he was doing. How could he know why he came again.

The old man Li and the old lady Li didn't know what this old man was doing, but they knew that he was not an ordinary person by looking at other people's clothes and manners. One hurriedly repaired the whole yard and put the unrepaired farm tools in order. The other went into the kitchen to see if there was any hot water, and made a cup of tea to entertain the guests.

In fact, Li Chengshi was also a little guilty at the moment, but Mr. Zhang got off the carriage outside the gate of Li's courtyard, and he was obviously coming for Li's house. He couldn't go out to say hello when he saw it.

Zhang Anhao followed Li Chengshi into their yard, this time he didn't bring any gifts, but the boy Wenzhu had a bundle in each hand, which looked similar to the book he gave Li Mingde last time.

"Captain Li, this old man came here uninvited, did he come at an inappropriate time?" Zhang Anhao said as if he was a little embarrassed when he saw the father and son busy with work when he got off the carriage.

Li Chengshi hurriedly smiled and said that there was nothing wrong with him. He is a scholar, and he is very educated at first glance. His family welcomes him very much.

After entering the house, Zhang Anhao didn't hold back the family's appetite, and said directly: "This old man is here, one of them wants to meet Li Mingde from your family, and Bai Zhiwen from the Bai family. I came here last time." I left books for them all at that time, I don’t know how they read it.”

Facing the old couple of Li's family who could not read two big characters, and Li Chengshi who was literate but rough, Zhang Anhao spoke very straightforwardly, without deliberately chewing on words or going around in circles.

"Mr. Zhang, do you mean that both children will meet at our house?" Li Chengshi asked thoughtfully.

Seeing Mr. Zhang nodded, he continued, "That kid Mingde has gone out, so I'll call him right away. It's not convenient for me to go to the boy Zhiwen, so I'll let my mother go for a while. Wait a minute." a little while."

Zhang Anhao took a sip of the still hot tea and nodded.

At this moment, only he and old man Li were left in the room of the Li family hall. Seeing that old man Li was a little nervous, he thought that they should have just harvested sweet potatoes, so he chatted with him about the harvest in the field and asked them about their daily life. What kind of work do you have to do in the field.

Although the old man Li still didn't talk much when talking about farming, he was not too nervous at all. Li Chengshi looked back and thought that the two of them seemed to be chatting pretty well.

Relieved, Li Chengshi went to the kitchen first and called out Mrs. Li who was about to boil another pot of water: "Mother, Mr. Zhang left some books for Mingde last time. I guess he came to our house this time. He intends to test Mingde's homework, if Mingde catches his eye, he may be planning to accept Mingde as a student."

"But it's not just our family's Mingde, but also the boy Zhiwen next door. Last time he called boy Zhiwen to the head of Bai village and gave him a letter. This time he also wants to test the situation of boy Zhiwen. I'll call Mingde now, and you call Zhiwen next door."

"Mother, I think Mr. Zhang is very knowledgeable, but I don't know who can be favored by Mingde or Zhiwen. Of course, this is just my guess. When you go to Bai's house to call someone later You can mention the matter to Comrade Wen to prepare him mentally, but don't say death..."

Li Chengshi still wanted to babble, but the old lady Li interrupted him: "I haven't seen anything in my age, I don't need you to tell me so much, I know what to say."
