Lucky husband

Jiang Zhiyun thought about Li Mingjin's proposal, and it seemed that she could give it a try, or discuss it with her mother-in-law after she went back.

It was still early, and neither Li Chengshi nor Li Mingkang would go home at noon. After Jiang Zhiyun packed up some things that could be carried back, she took Li Mingjin and locked the door and went back to the village.

The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of Shanghe Village like to gather to chat and work under the big pagoda tree in the center of the village. The place here is spacious enough and facing the road in and out of the village, so people can see who enters the village.

The moment Jiang Zhiyun appeared with Li Mingjin carrying two bags of things, it attracted the attention of everyone in Shanghe Village. It has been a month since Li's family moved to the county seat. The last time Li Chengshi and Xiumu returned to the village with his wife and children was a bit late. There are not many people under the big locust tree in the center of the village.

Therefore, this was the first time that Li Mingjin and his family were seen returning to the village by the villagers after they moved to the county seat. People who thought they were more familiar with the Li family immediately put down what they were doing and surrounded them after seeing them.

Facing everyone's chattering inquiries, Jiang Zhiyun smiled, picked a few simple questions and answered them softly, satisfying everyone's curiosity, without making people feel that their family became arrogant after moving to the county seat. Not being a villager, he has won unanimous praise from all the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

Then, Jiang Zhiyun left under the big locust tree in the center of the village under the pretext that she was going to make lunch soon and she was going back to help her mother.

Li Mingjin has been following his mother, watching his mother deal with those people, thoughtful.

On the way from under the big pagoda tree to the Li's yard, they met several people, which made it a little later for the mother and son to return to the Li's yard, and the chimney of the kitchen was already smoking.

After the third house of the Li family left, only the old couple and Li Mingyue were left in the courtyard of the Li family during the day. It was much deserted than before, and it seemed that it was quiet inside before they got close.

Mrs. Li did not expect that Jiang Zhiyun would come back at this time. She was cooking in the kitchen with Li Mingyue. Old man Li was studying his farm tools in the yard to see if there was any problem with the farm tools. Did he use them recently? Very easy.

In fact, it's not that the farm tools are not easy to use, it's that the old man Li always feels uncomfortable. Li Chengzhi will hardly go home to help during the spring plowing now. Of course, the old man knows that he is busy and doesn't insist on him coming back.

Therefore, in the past two years, Li Chengzhi has invited people from the neighboring village to help his father with the spring plowing and autumn harvest.

This feeling of always asking others for help made old man Li uncomfortable. In addition, he was a lot older now, and he was a bit tired of working, so he attributed the reason to the farm tools and asked if the farm tools were broken. , and try to see what's broken.

"Grandma, grandma, Mingyue, I'm back, my mother and I are back." Li Mingjin ran over after seeing the familiar courtyard, and shouted at the closed courtyard door.

Mrs. Li and Li Mingyue didn't hear it in the kitchen, but the old man Li heard it clearly in the yard. He put down the farm tools in his hand, walked over and opened the gate of the yard.

"Master!" Li Mingjin raised a big smile, took out the soft cake that he had carried all the way, and put it in the hands of old man Li, "Master, this is the soft cake that my mother made last night, bring it back for you and Milk to taste."

The soft cake was learned by Jiang Zhiyun from an aunt next door in the alley. It is white and soft, which is very suitable for the elderly and children. In autumn, sweet-scented osmanthus is added to the soft cake, which is sweet and soft, and tastes even better.

Old man Li was very happy to see Li Mingjin, he narrowed his eyes with a rare smile, and beckoned Li Mingjin to enter the room.

Jiang Zhiyun was a few steps behind, she walked in at a faster pace and called out to old man Li, then she put the bundle in her hand on the stool under the eaves, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen.

Old lady Li and Li Mingyue in the kitchen had heard the sound, but they couldn't hear it clearly. Old lady Li was busy and didn't go out.

Curious, Li Mingyue fiddled with the fire and stood up, intending to see who had entered the door.

"Mother, Mingyue." Jiang Zhiyun stepped in first, she smiled and said to Li Mingyue who stood up, "Mingyue, brother Jin is back too, you go to the yard to play with brother Jin, and the third aunt will cook. "

Li Mingyue and Li Mingjin grew up together, and the two have never been separated for so long. Compared with their two elder brothers, Li Mingyue and Li Mingjin have a better relationship.

The two were chatting in the yard. Li Mingjin told Li Mingyue what he and Li Mingkang had learned during this time, and Li Mingyue talked about what happened in the village. Got to be lively.

Old man Li's depressed mood gradually improved amidst the laughter of the children, and the farm tools in his hand seemed to be fine after knocking a few times with him.

In the kitchen, the rice to be eaten at noon today has already been steamed, and it must be too late to add more rice now. Mrs. Li asked Jiang Zhiyun to take over the work of cutting vegetables in her hands, and took out a few purple potatoes from the bag beside her. , washed the purple sweet potato and threw it into the big pot with steamed rice.

Not only was there not enough food, but there was not enough food for two more people. Mrs. Li looked through the dishes at home and thought about adding an extra dish.

Mrs. Li had arranged the lunch for today before remembering to ask: "The third family, what are you and Brother Jin doing when you come back today?"

"Mother, Brother Jin had a dream last night. I'll come back and discuss with my mother what to do." Jiang Zhiyun replied in a low voice.

Mrs. Li's action of washing vegetables remained unchanged: "You have all moved to the county seat, and you have to ask me, an old woman, for advice on anything. You and the third child can handle it by yourself."

It's about the big house of the Li family, how could Jiang Zhiyun and Li Chengshi make a decision, she paused and said: "The matter is related to Mingde, I will talk to my mother in detail after dinner."

In the kitchen, there are washing, chopping and frying of vegetables. The voice is too low to be heard, and it’s not good if there is something important that you don’t talk about when you’re doing something. It’s better to wait until after dinner. Besides.

Upon hearing Jiang Zhiyun's words, Old Madam Li knew that things must be difficult, so she speeded up her movements silently.

Lunch was about a quarter of an hour earlier than usual. Li Mingjin and Li Mingyue were talking about their excitement, and they didn't really want to end the chat and go to eat. They were scolded by Mrs. Li alone before they honestly entered the room.

After the meal, Mrs. Li told the two children that Li Qiusheng from Erye Li's family didn't go to Langzhong Xing today, and they could go play with him for a while.

Li Mingjin had a very good relationship with Li Qiusheng, and when he heard that his cousin was at home today, he happily dragged Li Mingyue to find him.

Old man Li would rest for a while after lunch, so Mrs. Li and Jiang Zhiyun went to the left room, where they told Brother Jin's dream last night.

"Too bullying!" Mrs. Li couldn't help but slap the table. If Ms. Liu was in front of her, I believe she would definitely not be able to resist slapping the other person's face.

Jiang Zhiyun pulled Old Madam Li to persuade her, this thing hasn't happened yet, it was all just Jin Geer's dream, it's not worth it to be so angry.

Reason is one thing, but emotion is another. It is difficult for Mrs. Li not to be angry when her grandson is cheated.

The grandchildren in the family, regardless of male, female, elder brother, Mrs. Li tried her best to make herself a bowl of water, but the eldest grandson is the first grandchild after all, and she and the old man Li have high hopes. He was about to have an accident that would affect the sure-fire county examination, and Granny Li was furious besides being angry.

At a time like this, Jiang Zhiyun couldn't persuade her too much, she was just an aunt, and to be honest, she couldn't empathize with Old Madam Li, and if she talked too much, it might be interpreted as standing up and talking without pain in her back.

After a while, after feeling that the old lady Li's anger had dissipated, Jiang Zhiyun continued: "Mother, Brother Jin and I have discussed that we will only let Mingde and Miss Liu meet for the first two times, and then we will not let them The two got in touch again."

"Based on brother Jin's dream, it's not difficult to guess that Miss Liu will definitely think of other ways after she can't continue to have a relationship with Mingde, otherwise she will be sent to the magistrate's backyard by her parents."

"Now is the critical moment when Mingde is about to take the county examination. If he is allowed to stay in the county, he will definitely go to Mr. Zhang every day. It is difficult to prevent Miss Liu from trying to meet him. Why not let Mingde come back Live in the village for a while..."

Before Jiang Zhiyun finished speaking, Old Madam Li became angry again: "That Liu family is really shameless, Hu Meizi can't be reincarnated, a girl from a good family is raised like a kiln sister, thinking about how to hook up with men all day long .”

Embarrassedly smiled, Jiang Zhiyun was also thinking in her heart how those ladies from rich families were not as good as women from the countryside like them. Hearing Brother Jin say that Ms. Liu seemed to be able to read and write, how could she not even have the most basic upbringing? No.

After Mrs. Li got angry, she remembered Jiang Zhiyun's words, and asked her, "The third family member, you said that now is the critical period for Mingde to test for talents, how can we let him go back to the village?"

Jiang Zhiyun looked at Old Madam Li, and said with some trepidation: "Mother, I didn't think of what to do at first. Brother Jin suggested, suggested that you pretend to be sick."

There is a saying that a good spirit does not work and a bad spirit does not work. In front of Granny Li, she told her to pretend to be sick. Jiang Zhiyun was a little worried that Granny Li would be unhappy.

Who knew that Mrs. Li clapped her hands after thinking for a while: "Good idea!"

"My old lady is sick. Mingde must come back to see me. It only takes about six or seven days. Let Mingde not go to Mr. Zhang's place every day like Zhiwen boy before, and ask Zhiwen boy to bring Mr. Zhang to him every day." Come back with the homework assigned by the master."

"I'm an old woman who hasn't seen my grandson for a long time, and I'm sick when I miss my grandson. As long as Mingde comes back, it's a bit strange, so let Mingli come back too. He has been a clerk in the bookstore for so many years, and he won't be able to take a few days off. I can't even invite you."

Jiang Zhiyun didn't expect that Mrs. Li not only readily agreed to pretend to be sick, but also helped to perfect it, making their idea of ​​pretending to be sick more real.
