Lucky husband

Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang got into the bullock cart with anticipation for the new house. When they left Shanghe Village, they looked back at the direction of Li's house. How about a new neighbor.

The bullock cart moved very slowly and swayed, and soon Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang started fishing with their heads because they were so excited that they couldn't sleep last night and they woke up early this morning.

Li Chengshi and Jiang Zhiyun gave them a funny look, and then supported each other to prevent them from falling off the car.

When the two hired carts wandered outside the county seat and the voices of people nearby became louder and louder, Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang woke up and looked up blankly, looking left and right.

As soon as the cold wind blew, Li Mingjin woke up completely, and looked at the city gate excitedly, as if it was his first time entering the city.

In the past, every time they went to the city, they just stayed in the county for a day and a half. This time they moved to the county, and they will live in the county in the future. The feeling is really different.

Having not lived in the county for a long time, Li Mingjin is somewhat familiar with the county, but most of it is still unfamiliar.

After walking for a while, Li Chengshi was already very close to the city gate. Seeing that Li Mingjin was completely awake, Li Chengshi stuffed his son, who was still a little confused in his arms, between Jiang Zhiyun and Li Mingjin, and asked them to watch. The car went to talk to the soldiers guarding the city.

As people who work for the government in the county, the soldiers guarding the city and the guards of the county basically know each other. Today Li Chengshi is not wearing the clothes of the guards, and he got off one of the two fully loaded ox carts. Curious what he is doing.

Li Chengshi walked over and said in a few words about his move to the county seat, and then each of them gave a small red envelope with five cents in it, and invited them to have a hot pot meal at his home.

The soldiers guarding the city could not leave their posts without the permission of going up to the peak. Li Chengshi's invitation was not mentioned, but it made the people who heard it feel more at ease.

When Li Chengshi brought Jiang Zhiyun and the others into the city to introduce his wife and children to everyone, the soldiers guarding the city took a rough picture of Li Chengshi's wife and children.

Li Chengshi thought that they would live in the county in the future, and it would be good for Jiang Zhiyun and the others to know more people, so that they could ask for help if something happened outside and he was not around.

It took a while to enter the city, and it was a bit late when they arrived at the new house. Jiang Zhiyun didn't care about the luggage on the ox cart, so she asked Li Mingjin to go with her to the kitchen to cook for the Stove Lord.

So Li Chengshi was the only one left who could move things. He spent an extra two pennies to ask the ox cart driver to help move the luggage to the yard, and then moved the luggage into the house by himself.

When the adults were busy, Li Mingkang ran happily in the yard alone, getting to know the new family.

Although this courtyard is just a small house, it is not small, especially the empty courtyard in the middle, not to mention the large area, and it is divided into several different areas.

On the far left is a grape shelf. The leaves of the grapes are all gone now. New ones will grow in spring and grapes will grow. There is a stone table and four stone stools under the shelf. It should be good to enjoy the shade under the vines in summer .

There is a well next to the vines, so that the family does not need to go to a public well for water, but just dig it at home.

Behind the vines, there is a small piece of soil, and a low wall is built around the soil to ensure that the mud will not come out when it rains or blows wind. The roots of the grapes are in the corner of this small piece of soil.

Li Mingkang ran around several times for the vines alone, and counted the number of wooden shelves on it, as if he was counting how many bunches of grapes he could eat later.

After walking around the bare vines and the temporarily empty soil twice, Li Mingkang noticed the two large vats under the eaves again, because he was short and couldn't see what was in the vats, and he didn't dare to pull the big vats Looking inside, after jumping a few times and seeing nothing, he gave up paying attention to the vat.

In a corner of the yard, there were two thick trees. With Li Mingkang's knowledge, he couldn't tell what kind of tree they were, but what he was interested in was not the tree at all, but the cloth bag between the two trees.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a cloth bag, because this bag is hung in the air and tied to two trees. Li Mingkang looked over and over to see if he could not understand the use of this, and then gave up.

After reading the things in the yard, Li Mingkang began to run into each room to look.

The layout of the Li family’s courtyard in Shanghe Village is actually similar to that of the small courtyard. The main house, the left wing and a right wing are the same here.

Now this house is only lived by their family. The main house has a main room and two rooms. One of these two rooms naturally belongs to Li Chengshi and his wife, and the other is reserved for old man Li and old lady Li. Before leaving the village, Li Chengshi What they said was not deceiving, they did prepare a room for their parents in the new house.

There are two rooms in the left wing, one for Li Mingjin and one for Li Mingkang, and three rooms in the right wing, all of which are smaller. One is used as a guest room, and guests can live in it. The other two are temporarily vacant and may be used in the future. Come to install miscellaneous things at home.

The stove and the hut are in the other corner. The stove is quite big, enough for food and firewood.

They had just moved here at the moment, and there were few things in the house, so it looked a little empty. After Li Mingkang had checked all the rooms, the smell of food finally came from the kitchen. Li Mingkang He ran to the stove.

Because they had to cook and make offerings to the Stove Lord first, Jiang Zhiyun asked Li Mingkang to call his father over, and the whole family offered incense sticks to the Stove Lord, begging the Stove Lord to bless them in their new home.

After eating in the morning, he didn't eat anything. Li Mingkang's belly was already hungry. He was looking at the delicious food on the table. His small appearance made it hard not to give him some food.

Because Li Mingkang has been sensible since he was a child, Jiang Zhiyun would not restrict her son very much at other times, but not today, she poked Li Mingkang's chubby cheek with a smile: "Go and call your father over, let's give it to the Stove Lord as soon as possible." We can have an early meal after delivering the food."

Li Mingkang wiped away the saliva that did not exist at the corner of his mouth, ran out with all his heart, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Father, father, come here quickly, mother has prepared food for Lord Stove Lord, come here quickly."

Li Chengshi was unpacking the luggage in the room, and put the ones he knew where to put them. After hearing Li Mingkang's words, he put down the things in his hands and strode towards the kitchen. To be honest, he was actually hungry.

After worshiping the Stove Lord piously and eagerly, Jiang Zhiyun, with the help of Li Mingjin, cooked two simple dishes in a short time. The rice was ready-made, so she hurriedly set up the dishes and greeted the family for dinner.

After the meal, Li Mingjin was finally free. He looked from room to room under the leadership of his brother Li Mingkang, and finally returned to his own room.

In the past, what Li Mingjin liked most was the big wardrobe in his parents' room. Now he also has a wardrobe that belongs to him. He happily puts clothes in the wardrobe one by one, and then pulls them open to take a look.

Although Jiang Zhiyun only came to clean the new house a few years ago, some dust still accumulated in the past few days. She loves cleaning, so she couldn't see the dust, so she just spread the sheets and quilts she brought on the bed. The things were placed on the shelf, so she asked Li Chengshi to roll up her sleeves and wipe the dust together.

Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang also have to do housework together, because Jiang Zhiyun always let them clean up their own room.

After the family had packed up their luggage, it was mid-afternoon. Jiang Zhiyun didn't rest, so she turned around and went into the kitchen, took out the dough that had swelled in the big wooden basin, and used the dough to make pancakes.

Today is the first day they moved here, and Jiang Zhiyun plans to bake a basket of cakes to distribute to the neighbors, and tell everyone that there is a newcomer in this family, and let's get to know someone by the way.

When Jiang Zhiyun was making pancakes, Li Mingjin followed her around in the kitchen, while Li Chengshi, Li Mingkang and his son ran to the large water tank under the eaves.

Held by Li Chengshi, Li Mingkang finally had a chance to see what was in the big tank. It was fish. There were fish in the two big tanks. There were about four or five fish in each tank, mixed with red, gold, black and white. Koi, swimming in the sun, looks quite beautiful.

Li Mingkang couldn't bear to turn his eyes away, so Li Chengshi told him the story about the koi and the water tank in front of the water tank.

After looking at the water tank, Li Mingkang remembered the two trees in the corner of the yard. He pulled Li Chengshi over and asked why a cloth bag was tied between the two trees.

Li Chengshi smiled and explained to Li Mingkang that the one in the middle is not a cloth bag, but a hammock that can lie on it and take a nap. After speaking, Li Chengshi untied the cloth outside the hammock, and sat on it with Li Mingkang in his arms.

The hammock was seen by Jiang Zhiyun in a miscellaneous journal. After reading it, she was very interested, so she tried to make one by herself. Since there were no trees in the yard of Li’s house in Shanghe Village, Li Chengshi accompanied her to try out this hammock. It was picked up after one visit.

Unexpectedly, the newly bought house had an osmanthus tree that was strong enough to tie a hammock. She brought the hammock with her when she came to clean up last time.

Swaying on the hammock, a bit like swinging, Li Mingkang sat giggling, twisting his butt for a while, looking up at the sky for a while, and then at the osmanthus trees on both sides.

The hammock is in the corner, and sitting here can basically take in the whole house. Looking at the house full of warmth, the corners of Li Chengshi's mouth formed the same arc as Li Mingkang's.

It cost close to 200 taels to buy this house before, and it cost a lot of money to renovate the house. The inside and outside cost at least 30 taels, and the money to install the house is enough to build another big blue brick in the village. The tile house is gone.

A lot of money is spent, and the effect can be seen naturally. Not only is it beautiful, but every detail is very careful. Before moving in, Li Chengshi was imagining how comfortable he would be when he moved in. Today he moved in, and he really felt great.

Li Mingkang sat dishonestly on Li Chengshi's lap. After he got used to it, he began to want to try sitting alone for a while, so that Li Chengshi would not take him with him.

Li Chengshi stood up helplessly, seeing his son having fun on the hammock by himself, he decided not to stand by and watch him, anyway, the hammock was tied so low that even if he fell, he would not be able to fall, so he might as well go to the kitchen to see Let's see how my daughter-in-law and Brother Jin's pancakes are doing.

Jiang Zhiyun's pancakes have just been cooked in a pot. The skin is golden and crispy, and the inside is soft. There are also diced mushrooms and bacon fillings.

When Li Chengshi passed by, the second pot had just been put down. Jiang Zhiyun wiped her hands, took out two pancakes from the pancake basket, and handed them to her son and husband: "Taste how it tastes. I will give it to others later. The taste is delicious." It's almost a joke."

The lunch we ate at noon has already digested a lot, and now everyone has room in their stomachs to eat pancakes. Li Mingjin couldn't stop after taking a bite of the pancakes, praising his mother for her craftsmanship as she gnawed.

After eating a palm-sized pancake, Li Mingjin wanted to take another one, Jiang Zhiyun glanced at him: "Go and take your brother to wash his hands, and then you two brothers will share one."

It's not that she is stingy and unwilling to feed the children, the main reason is that it is already the beginning of the unitary hour, and it is time to have dinner in a while, so the two children can't eat too much. This time she made a lot, if you want to eat, heat it up tomorrow morning For breakfast.

Without Li Mingjin going out to shout, Li Mingkang had already smelled the scent and ran in, tiptoed to look at the pancakes in the basket, turned his head and smiled sweetly at Jiang Zhiyun, no matter how cute Li Mingkang's smile was, Jiang Zhiyun only gave him half a smile in the end. indivual.

The dough that had risen at noon was enough to make four pots of pancakes. Jiang Zhiyun put the first pot in a bowl and locked it in the cabinet. The next three pots were still hot. After baking, she led Li Mingjin and Li Ming Kang out with baskets. up.

This pancake was made for nearly an hour, and it was okay when the smell did not spread out. After the smell spread out, the neighbors living in the neighborhood felt a little uncomfortable, especially those with children at home, and they all asked the adults to eat it Pancakes.

A few who cared about the children and didn't bother to take the money together took the children to the street to buy pancakes. When they came back, they happened to see the new hostess next door going out with a basket.

The fragrance in the basket wafted out, which once again aroused the gluttons in the stomachs of these children, staring at Jiang Zhiyun's basket one by one, making the adults feel embarrassed.

Jiang Zhiyun smiled kindly, took the initiative to introduce their mother and son, and stuffed a few pancakes for each of the neighbor's aunt and daughter-in-law, and everyone reciprocated, introducing themselves and the nearby people.

Because there were pancakes to open the way, Jiang Zhiyun walked around outside, and easily got to know the people in this alley, and also had some understanding of the situation of each family, and at the same time appropriately talked about her own situation.
