Chapter 7 Catching Worms

After the separation, Li Ran's family was not in a hurry to move out, and the thatched cottage still needed major renovations.Li Ran invited Uncle Ji, Ji Dong and two other men to help renovate the house.Li Ran gave each of them forty copper coins a day, but since Li Ran was inconvenient to pack lunch, no one gave them ten copper coins as a meal allowance.The tarpaulin was bought last time when I went to Pingyang Town to change my household registration. The rice stalks were given by Ji Ama’s family. There is plenty of yellow mud and thatch in the back mountain. Five people including Bao Jinan worked for five days to renovate the thatched cottage. up.

After the house was renovated, Li Ran took Ji Nan to clean up and down the house, and opened all the doors and windows. Li Ran wanted to make the inside dry and dry, and moved there in a few days.After the separation, Zhang Dafeng would beat and beat Li Ran from time to time, without a good face, pointing fingers and scolding Huai.But Li Ran really didn't want to quarrel with people like Zhang Dafeng, so he pretended he didn't see it.

This day Li Ran came back from washing clothes outside, and before he entered the yard, he heard Xiao Yuan's crying and Ji Hong's scolding from afar.Li Ran walked into the yard quickly, and saw Xiaoyuan standing in the yard, rubbing his eyes and crying, with five fingerprints clearly printed on his left face.Li Ran put down the wooden basin in his hand, knelt down and hugged Xiao Yuan, rubbed his head, and asked softly: "Xiao Yuan, tell Eminem who beat you!" Ji Hong in the main room and Ji Dabao next to him.

Xiao Yuan glanced at Ji Hong, choked up and said, "Father gave me a piece of candy and pastry when he went out. I sat in the yard and ate it. Brother Dabao wanted to eat it. If I disagreed, he robbed me of the candy and pastry. Pushed me to the ground, my little uncle scolded me and slapped me."

After listening to Xiao Yuan's words, Li Ran rubbed his head, stood up, looked at Ji Hong with angry eyes, and said coldly, "You hit Xiao Yuan?"

Looking at Li Ran like this, and thinking of Li Ran's actions these days, Ji Hong was still a little scared, but he didn't want to show his fear, so he pouted and said forcefully: "I hit you, what's wrong, He loses money and doesn't respect his elders, I taught him the lesson of being an elder, why can't he do it!"

Li Ran didn't care about 21, he went up and slapped his upright face. These days Zhang Dafeng and Ji Hong made things difficult for him, beat him, Li Ran could pretend he didn't see or hear, but They bullied Xiao Yuan, and Li Ran was the first to disagree.

Zhu Yinghua, who was peeking from the side, saw that Li Ran dared to beat Ji Hong, and was afraid that his son would be beaten by Li Ran, so he ran out to protect his son, looked at Li Ran and said angrily: "I Speaking of Xiaoyuan, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can’t talk nonsense. You said who robbed your pastry and candy. Aren’t you slandering my son and ruining my son’s reputation? You are so vicious at such a young age, Who will dare to marry you when they grow up, I said Li Ran, even though you are the queen mother, you have to take care of him, don't let him come out to harm others."

Li Ran was really angry, pointed at Ji Dabao and said, "You can swear that your son didn't steal Xiaoyuan's candy and pastries, so where did the pastry crumbs on his mouth come from? I don't remember any of you buying pastries. Hmph , my son didn't learn well at a young age, learned to steal his brother's pastries, and when he grows up, he can't steal and rob again, harming the people of one side, and becoming a disgrace to our Jijia Village. I think it's better for such a child to be imprisoned early Go here, save the burden on the family in the future."

Zhu Yinghua heard that the broom star cursed his son so viciously, so he rushed over angrily and wanted to fuck Li Ran desperately.Although Zhu Yinghua is fussy, loves to take advantage of small things, and likes to provoke right and wrong, but Ji Dabao is his first child or only child, which is the foundation of his foothold in Ji's family, and he values ​​his life more than his own.Ji Hong also came to his senses after being beaten beside him, and rushed over to fight Li Ran desperately.

Fortunately, Ji Hai from the house came out at this time. Ji Hai is 16 years old today, and he is used to doing farm work. He has a lot of strength, and with each hand, he pulled Ji Hong and Zhu Yinghua apart, and said in a deep voice: " Okay, okay, stop messing around, I heard what I said just now, Xiaohong, you are an elder, how can you care about Xiaoyuan, and you still beat Xiaoyuan, and there is a big brother." Is Zhu Yinghua the eldest brother, Ji Hai doesn't want to worry about it What to say, just click to the end.Ji Hai said to Li Ran again: "Second brother, Xiao Hong is not sensible, please bear with me." Ji Hai was usually taciturn, but what he said at this time still calmed Ji Hong and Zhu Yinghua.

Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief. If the two of them went to bed together, he would definitely suffer by himself.Li Ran didn't reply to Ji Hai's words, but just said: "Thank you." Li Ran didn't know Ji Hai well, Li Ran didn't have any memories about Ji Hai in his former memory, only knew that he was usually quiet and taciturn.But looking at his actions and words today, they are still very sensible, and Li Ran's impression of him has improved a bit.

At noon, Jinan came back with two rabbits. Now it’s spring. After a winter’s dormancy, the animals are alive, and Jinan has started to do his old job—hunting. The two rabbits in his hand are just a few days ago. Jinan made a trap for the rabbit.Ji Nan peeled off the skins of the two rabbits and cleaned them up. Li Ran put away the skins of the rabbits and made a rabbit fur coat for Xiao Yuan when he accumulated more.At noon, Li Ran braised one rabbit in brown sauce and salted the other. The weather is not hot yet, so it can be kept for a few more days.After cooking and cooking the rice, Li Ran asked Xiaoyuan to ask Ji Hai to come to their house for dinner, thanking him for his help this morning, but Ji Hai refused.After the separation, Li Ran got half of the food, so he temporarily built an earthen stove to cook for himself.

After lunch, Li Ran said to Jin Nan: "Jinan, let's move this afternoon." After Xiaoyuan was beaten today, Li Ran really didn't want to live here anymore.

Ji Nan and Zhou Zheng still had a silly smile on his face. In his pure mind, of course he wanted to move out of here and live with his husband and brother. He didn't like it here.

So it was decided, Li Ran went to Uncle Ji's house to borrow an ox cart to prepare to move, and Aunt Ji asked Uncle Ji Dong to help them move.But Li Ran declined. They didn't have many things, just the big items and food in the room, plus pots and pans. With the ox cart, they could move them in two or three trips.

Li Ran and Ji Nan first moved the small items such as food and pots and pans to the thatched cottage, and then came back to move the larger items in the room.Ji Nan dismantled the beds they slept in and put them in the bullock cart. Li Ran closed the door and dug things on the ground where the beds used to be.Their silver is hidden here. After digging a few inches deep, a small homemade bag appeared in front of Li Ran. Li Ran picked it up and opened it to find twenty taels of silver. One inch deep, a small wooden board appeared in front of his eyes. Li Ran took the wooden board away, and there was a small cloth bag, which contained thirty taels of silver. Li Ran continued digging until the fourth wooden board appeared. Li Ran removed the wooden board and found a larger homemade bag, which was 150 taels of silver when opened. 200 taels of silver is their entire deposit.Among them, 120 taels were the silver that Li Ran's mother asked Li Ran to hide before his death, and 15 taels were saved by Ji Nan from hunting and buying prey when he was [-] years old.

Li Ran wrapped all the silver in a homemade cloth, 200 taels of silver, and it was really heavy in his hand. Li Ran handed him to Ji Nan and asked him to put it in his arms and put it away.Li Ran patted the mud on his hands and stood up. Li Ran was really speechless about hiding money like this, but there was nothing he could do about it.That shameless Zhang Dafeng often took advantage of Jinan's absence, picked the lock and searched in Jinan's room, and was bumped into by Jinan several times, and then Jinan thought of this method.What Ji Nan thought was that if someone really found out, he might be excited when he dug up 30 taels of silver and stop digging, or he found something abnormal, then dug up and dug out another 150 taels, but Again and again and again, not to mention the third one is still empty.In this way, the bottom [-] taels can be kept.

After driving the ox cart three times, the move was over. Li Ran returned the things at home, and Ji Nan drove the ox cart to return to Uncle Ji.Uncle Ji took the cow back to the stable, and Grandma Ji asked Ji Nan, "Jinan, have you finished moving all the things? Has the house been tidied up?"

"Well, it's all over. Xiaoran is still packing things at home. My family cooks the day after tomorrow. Xiaoran said that grandma's family will come to my house for dinner." In Jijia Village, anyone who moves to a new home needs to invite Relatives and friends eat a meal, which is called housewarming meal.

"Okay, I will definitely go when the time comes." Ji Ama said with a smile, he was really happy to see the two children leaving Zhang Dafeng, and they would have a better life in the future, and believed that their fathers and mothers were underground Also feel relieved.

"Then grandma, I'll go back first, and I have to help Xiaoran pack things at home." Although Ji Nan acted silly in front of Li Ran, he was still very good in front of outsiders. It's easy to see that he has a problem.

Grandma Ji looked at Ji Nan's disappearing figure, and said to Uncle Ji, who had closed the cow, "Ji Nan's brain is broken, but he is gentler than before." Uncle Ji washed his hands and said : "Okay, okay, hurry up and cook, the children should come back from the field." It is now the beginning of March, and the hard-working villagers have started to work in the fields.

The next day, Li Ran took Ji Nan to Pingyang Town to buy vegetables, and invited his relatives and friends to dinner. No matter how close they were in the village, most of them came to congratulate him, but Ji Wangcai, his father's family, did not come.The villagers were already curious about the division of Ji's family, but now that Ji Wangcai's family didn't come, they all talked about it.Some people think that it is a good thing that Ji Nan and Ji Wangcai separated, and that there is such a good life with Zhang Dafeng as his empress; ,,, In short, there are all kinds of things to say, and this matter didn't stop until the busy farming season began.

Clean up and return the new home. On the ninth day of March, before dawn, Li Ran took Xiao Yuan, who was still sleeping, to Grandma Ji's house, and asked him to help take care of Xiao Yuan today, and borrowed a cow from Uncle Ji's house. The car goes to Qingyun Mansion.Although Qingyun's father in Ji's village is not too far away, it would take three hours to get there by walking, but if they walked, they would not be able to come back today.If you use a bullock cart, you can arrive in an hour and a half. If you leave early, you can still go home for dinner.
