The husband's son-in-law

The gate of the courtyard was opened, and Li Zhouzhou removed the threshold so that it was convenient for his father to drive the mule cart home.He couldn't be happier with himself, so he called Dad, and when he got closer, he saw the dust on his father's face, his eyes were a little red, and he wanted to cry, so he endured it and went back.

"Father, I'm going to boil some hot water."

"Let's eat first. I'll go to the shop in front to buy food." Li Zhouzhou thought he knew that his father was on his way back. At this time, he probably didn't eat anything in the morning. He walked from his shop to the front and bought meat buns, noodles, wontons, and steamed buns. .

I'm afraid that my father will eat these falsehoods, which are not real.

Li Zhouzhou came back with two big bowls. Noodles and wontons were placed in his big porcelain bowl, and a bowl of buns and steamed buns. When he came back, he saw that his father had unloaded the food and things, and was moving the mules back to the shed to feed them. forage.

"Father, it's time to eat." Li Zhouzhou greeted his father, and went to boil water in the stove.

Li Da first washed his hands and face with cold water, and after seeing Zhou Zhou busy for two months, he felt a little different. In the past, Zhou Zhou in his family was reluctant to spend money on food, and there were always pancakes and steamed buns in the kitchen. Pickles and pickled vegetables, maybe it’s not easy to put them in the hot weather now?

"Eh."

Li Da responded and sat down to eat. He ate quickly. He passed by a village yesterday noon and bought steamed buns and ate them in cold water. He hasn't eaten until now. He is really hungry.

Xilihulu was planing the noodles, and the steamed stuffed buns were still stuffed with meat.

"You don't need to buy such a good one in the future," Li Da said.

Li Zhouzhou hummed, "I'm glad that Dad is back, I have a meal once in a while, and I cook by myself on weekdays."

Li Da felt that his son had changed, but he couldn't tell what had changed, anyway, he thought it was pretty good, seeing his spirit, he spoke more straightforwardly——

In the past, Li Zhouzhou felt sorry for his father's hard work, so he would not say it outright.

"I've been away for almost two months. Nothing happened at home, right? Are you and Zhao'er all right?"

Li Zhouzhou replied: "It's all good, I just read books during the day, Xiu Mu came back to help me with work, and I started to learn characters, but sometimes I can't do it."

Why are you still busy?This is no longer farming, the yard is smaller than the yard in the village, and there is a well. It stands to reason that there is less work in the house. Li Da wondered, Zhou Zhou in his family is not the kind of person who becomes lazy after two months in the prefecture.

"What's wrong?"

Just as Li Zhouzhou was about to say, there was movement at the door, and the husband came back.

"Honey, I bought dried tofu and came back—"

"Hey, Dad is back?!"

Gu Zhao entered the yard and saw things piled up in the corner and mules tied to the shed, so he knew that his father had come back, put the basin in his hand on the window sill of the stove, and walked into the main room with a few steps. Seeing that his father was eating, he shouted happily : "Dad, Zhou Zhou and I were still thinking about when Dad will come back yesterday."

"Father has worked hard on the road."

Li Da's meal eased up, and after the hunger, he said strangely: "Why didn't you go to school? Is it some kind of Xiumu?"

"No. In July, the academy is on a farm holiday, and more than half of the students in our class have gone home. The master is not in class now, but just reviewing what he has learned before. I thought that I could review when I came back, and I could also give Zhou Zhou a lesson. Take your hand, put the stew in a pot of vegetarian food." Gu Zhao explained.

What stew?Li Dazheng was puzzled.

Li Zhou Zhou said in a loud voice: "It's no good, I have to wash in the water first, and you and my father have a good talk."

"Don't worry, we'll be together later, hurry up." Gu Zhao sat on the stool while holding his wife, "Daddy just came back, it's okay if he's late."

Li Zhouzhou felt bad.

Li Da understood when he was confused, and said simply and neatly: "You have a living, right? You are busy every week, and the business is important. I eat the same thing. After a while, the water in the pot will boil, and I will wash it. Listen to you slowly."

Li Da and Li Zhouzhou's personalities are not polite, so they should focus on important things first.Gu Zhao didn't say much, and when the hot water in the kitchen was ready, he mixed the bath water for his father, and went to deal with the sewage with Zhou Zhou.

Li Da closed the door and took a full bath in the main room. Once he entered the back room, he walked for two months. The room was clean without any dust. The bedding was sun-dried and smelled of sunshine. It is also clean and tidy.

Both children are concerned.

After changing his clothes and taking a bath, Li Da seemed refreshed, and then he took a closer look. There was a vegetable field in the yard, and there was something planted right opposite the stove door. There were green shoots on the poles. What.

Next to the well water in the corner, Zhou Zhou and Zhao'er sat on a small bench, next to them were two large wooden basins filled with sewage.Li Da saw it at a glance, thought for a while and said: "The business you two do for a living is to marinate the water? Why do you start a stew."

"Father is amazing, I guessed it right away." Gu Zhao patted his father's ass, and then said: "It was Zhou Zhou who did it, and I just beat him up. The business is good, but we can't sell it. Afterwards, we can marinate something else, and everything can be marinated."

Li Da nodded, and fetched well water to wash the mules. The weather was too hot, so he took a bath. The mules wanted to relax after working hard for a few days on the road, so they rolled up their sleeves and rolled up their trouser legs, and took a ladle to scoop up water for the mules. Splash it on, brush it well with a brush, and wash it off.

The mule was so uncomfortable that it snorted and rubbed its head against Li Da.

Li Da patted the mule's neck and said lovingly, "Let's all loosen up, good job."

"Father, I said the business is too good to sell, so why don't you ask out of curiosity? Do you really believe us?" Gu Zhao was talking to his father while he was doing his work, and he wanted to brag about Zhou Zhou, his family.

Li Da: "It's not that I haven't eaten Zhou Zhoulu's fish, and I can't say anything bad about what I have eaten. Zhou Zhou works quickly, and you are not the one who makes Zhou Zhou suffer."

The implication is that Li Da trusts the two of them.I was worried about two months ago, what to do with these two children being sent to the prefecture and county, and the expenses are high. Now it is a comfortable place, and the weekly income can cover the living expenses. At that time, he will be doing a job, and he can subsidize Zhao'er's education superior……

At this time, Li Da didn't know how fast and profitable the stewed cooking business was. Li Da thought it would be like a steamed stuffed bun noodle shop, and the daily expenses would be about the same.

After Li Zhouzhou finished processing the offal, it was marinated in the pot.Gu Zhao cleaned up the mess that had just been made in the yard, lit the stove with the charcoal fire he bought, put a pot on it to boil water, and first made a pot of tea for his father, and the two ordered noodles.

Before eating, Gu Zhao first went to the back room and came back with a wooden box in his hand.

"Master."

Li Zhouzhou took chopsticks for Xianggong, waited for him to eat, and saw what Xianggong was doing when he came out holding the money box.Gu Zhao just didn't show off his family's Zhou Zhou's success, now he got a chance, and said to his tea-drinking father, "Father, this is what Zhou Zhou earned in the past month or so, and all of it has been taken away."

He put it on the table and made a dull sound.

The weight of copper coins is heavy, which is more fulfilling than silver coins.

This is earned every penny on Zhou Zhouyi.

Li Da opened the box and took a look, he was stunned at that moment, he couldn't drink the tea anymore, "Is it all earned by Zhou Zhou?"

"Yeah, Zhou Zhou is amazing." Gu Zhao ate noodles.

Li Zhouzhou was a little embarrassed that Xianggong praised himself so much in front of his father, but a kind of pride and self-confidence surged in his heart. He can make money, and he can make a lot of money, and he can support Xianggong and support the family.

The wooden box is rectangular. At first glance, there are two copper coins strung together, one half-penetrated, and two taels of silver. There are two taels of silver in the corner, and the rest are scattered copper plates.

Just looking at the big heads in this box, there are more than three or two.

"How much do you earn a month?"

Li Zhouzhou then said to his father: "Two barrels of sewage a day, and I can earn 120 yuan after digging. In a month, there are three to six hundred yuan. I sold the sewage in mid-May, and now I have four taels. The daily expenses of the family Not counting the rent for one month, it’s less than one tael of silver.”

Then there will still be two to six hundred Wen left every month.

Li Da:! ! !

In the end, Da Li didn't know what to say. Is it so easy to make money from people in prefectures and counties?

"Zhou Zhou is still amazing!" Gu Zhao praised his wife.

Li Da came to his senses, that's right, it's because his son is great, why can't others earn so much, even if Zhou Zhou is hard working and not afraid of hardship, and his skills are good.

"Zhou Zhou is promising, okay."

With his father's praise, Li Zhouzhou gained some confidence, and told his father about the plan he had been pondering for half a month, "Father, I was still thinking about building a big stove and ordering a big pot in the shop after you came back, and adding dinner at noon." A pot of vegetarian stew, as well as chicken and duck, etc., add slowly first, let’s add an extra pot first.” He didn’t dare to say that it was selling well, so he added a pot to try first.

"It's dad, Zhou Zhou is going to buy meat now. It takes an hour to go to the westernmost butcher's shop, and two hours to go back and forth. There is a butcher's shop nearby, but it's cheaper there and there are a lot of meat." Gu Zhao told his father.

Li Dayi couldn't help but feel sorry for his son. This box full of money was paid back by Zhou Zhou's hard work. Seeing that Zhou Zhou's eyes were clear, he had an idea in his heart, so he said: "Our family has a mule, and I will drive to buy it in the morning. , I was thinking about doing something to make a living on the way, but now I don’t think about it, Zhou Zhou has a great ability, so Dad will follow Zhou Zhou to fight."

"What's the big deal?" Li Zhouzhou said with bright eyes.

The hard work has been rewarded, as well as the affirmative support of his family, Li Zhouzhou is full of energy.

It was settled.

Li Da is restless, what do farmers do when they don't work, how much time can they rest throughout the year?Besides, what is the work in the yard these days?

After resting for not an hour, I set up a mule cart to buy bricks and yellow mud to build a stove and a pot.It was the young couple who stopped Dad and asked Dad to sleep in the house all afternoon and have a good rest, not in a hurry.

Li Da said that he was not sleepy, but he really lay down on the bed and turned over a few times, thinking that he was not used to sleeping on the bed and would not be able to fall asleep, but he started snoring after a while, so he didn't have anything to worry about, but It's not that the spirit is relaxed and the sleep is fast.

In the afternoon, when Luzhu opened, there was another face in the front, and the line reached twenty people.

"I want to change the flavor of stewed meat. This time I added tofu and dried tofu. The price of a vegetarian tofu and dried tofu is four yuan, because the amount is less than that of stewed meat. I just taste it. I will buy it in the shop another day. After cooking a big pot, I might add something else," Gu Zhao said to the visitor.

It was originally made with two spoonfuls of stewed meat, and when I heard it, it was still stewed with tofu and dried tofu. Although he didn't like to eat this on weekdays, it was soft and tasteless, but it was not expensive for four pennies, so I took it back to my children and daughter-in-law. After tasting it, he said, "Then give me another halogen."

The amount of this halogen is indeed small, about half a spoonful, which is just a head, but the price is not expensive, everyone bought it to try it out.

It was sold out in two minutes, and the shop was closed. The customers who didn't arrive rushed to ask: "Boss Li, you just said that a big pot will be built in the shop for a few days. When will this be? Can you hurry up?" ?”

I want to eat such a bite every day, but I can't make it in the queue for a long time, isn't it uncomfortable?

Li Zhouzhou gave the correct words, "It should be three or four days, and I have to order a big pot."

"We will launch new products at that time, including stewed chicken and duck." Gu Zhao said with a smile beside him, "but it will be expensive."

The customer didn't care if it was expensive or not, he just bought it if he could buy it, and said, "That's natural, these chickens and ducks are not cheap, and it's worth it if they are expensive, and I don't know what the taste of stewed chicken and duck is."

Already looking forward to new arrivals.

Neighbors in the surrounding street shops heard that they wanted to braise chicken and duck, and they were all looking forward to it.Thinking that Guina would not see the sky, I bought it to taste the taste. The main reason is that there are too many marinated ones. Isn't it easy to buy the cheap ones in the water?

Let me first talk about the owner Fang who bought the stewed tofu and dried tofu back. He waited for dinner in the afternoon. The family tasted the dried tofu and praised it. After marinating in the water, my mother can't bite this, she only likes to soak rice in marinade, or put it in noodles, saying that it tastes delicious.

The old mother is old, and she has no taste in anything she eats. Her daily meals are heavy with salt, and she loses her appetite when the weather is hot. She is skinny, and the food is not delicious, isn't it?

It was Boss Fang who went to Jinyu Restaurant for dinner. The shopkeeper said that he had to eat the food blindly. He made a small shallow bowl for the guests to taste. The shopkeeper has an extra copy.

Who knows that the shopkeeper said with a smile that there is no such thing as a coincidence.

Why haven't the shopkeepers eaten yet?

Boss Fang was puzzled, or the table next door said that the shopkeeper's dish was not authentic. The one on the table was called Luzhu, and it was a business of Liji Luzhu, a shop on Pomegranate Street. He had seen the only one in this shop in the entire prefecture...

They are all in business, and Boss Fang suddenly understood that the shopkeeper of this restaurant must have sent the shop assistant to Li Ji to buy stewed stew and come back, so that the chef behind the scenes can study and figure out how to make it. The guest has a taste, first to whet the appetite.

It was not embarrassing for the shopkeeper to be exposed, so he smiled and said: "This food tastes good, but the store does not have enough quantity. If our family figured it out, it would be the mouth of our diners, wouldn't it?"

"It's true that the quantity of Li Ji Luzhu is small, and sometimes I can't buy it when I ask my servants to arrange it." The person who accosted him felt that the shopkeeper's words were not unreasonable.

Boss Fang wrote it down, and later sent his servants to buy it, and went by himself when he was free.

He went today.

Now Boss Fang mixed a bowl of vegetarian noodles with tofu and soup for his mother, and said, "Mother, try it, this is tofu, it doesn't waste your teeth."

The noodles were soft and rotten, and they were eaten with a spoon, and the tofu was put into the mouth. Boss Fang's old mother was suddenly happy, and said to her son: "This is good, stewed tofu is good."

The old mother couldn't eat dried tofu, and it was still a waste of time, but the daughter at home loved it very much.

When Li Da woke up, it was dark outside, Li Zhouzhou didn't bother his father, and left hot rice for him, a bowl of porridge, hot steamed buns, and a bowl of stewed rice.Dad loves this too.

"Have you two eaten?" Li Da sat down and asked.

Gu Zhao said, "I've eaten dad."

Li didn't talk too much, just ate in twos and threes.

The couple stood by and waited for Dad to finish eating. Li Zhouzhou took the money box to Dad and said, "Father, you can take the money you earned from the family business."

Li Da didn't answer, but looked at Gu Zhao, whose family Zhou Zhou was so sincere that he didn't think of this level at all.Gu Zhao said frankly: "Father, you are the head of the family. Zhou Zhou and I are juniors. You are in charge of the head of the family and are the backbone of the two of us. With you sitting in the camp and watching the business, I can go to the academy to attend classes." Be more down-to-earth, you don't know that people on Zhou and Zhou are sometimes overwhelmed, it's not about eating, it's because someone is causing trouble."

"Is there still trouble?" Li Da's face darkened.

Gu Zhao learned a little bit, it was not a big deal, it was the peddlers and diners who took advantage of the chaos, his father held the line and was a reassurance.

Li Dayi listened to it, thought for a while, and said, "I don't need to mention this, if the waiter from the inn buys it, it's because of our family's stewed recipe."

"I think so too." Gu Zhao said: "There is no dispute yet, but we small households still have to be careful. I am afraid that I will go out to buy raw materials every week in the future, such as wine, sugar and aniseed. , what if someone follows into the pharmacy to inquire?"

"No way?" Li Zhouzhou recalled, not feeling any movement behind him.

On the contrary, Li Da agreed with what his brother-in-law said, "This man's heart is bad, so we must guard against it. If something happens, it will be too late to talk about it." He only has one child every week, but don't forget, he will buy it later.

"Father, don't worry about this. I have a classmate and a very good brother. His family is in the medicinal material business. I entrusted him with the relationship to buy it. The price is fair and the quantity is sufficient. These things are dried and stored well. "Gu Zhao and Zheng Hui have already greeted each other.

It is said that it is bought at the market price, please bring some more when Zheng Huinong comes back from vacation.

Zheng Hui came in a mule cart at home, so he can take it with him.

Hearing Gu Zhao's request, Zheng Hui was still not happy, saying that you and I are brothers, and calling me big brother, how can I give you the market price, don't you look down on me, other big things can't be decided, like these are still possible .

Whatever you say, you have to give it to Gu Zhao, and you promise to give it to him. How long will the stewed shop be open in the future, and how long will his family provide for it? He also said that Gu Zhao trusts him.

Isn't it? Who would have known that there are medicinal materials in a rare stewed recipe.

"Then when this classmate of yours comes back, thank you very much." Li Da was half assured.

Gu Zhao naturally said yes, and said, "Father, I have been thinking about it these days, the restaurant where the third room is located is the accountant, do you know which restaurant it is?"

If Sanfang is not bragging, to tell the truth, the accountant of a restaurant earns more than 20 taels a year, so it can only be used as a accountant in a large restaurant, and a small inn cannot afford such a high salary.

The largest restaurant in the entire prefecture is the Jinyu Restaurant that used to be the study.

When Li Da heard about Sanfang, he didn't feel good about it, but it wasn't for Gu Zhao. Said: "Then come to our house to buy stewed shop waiter?"

"There are four guys in total. Four guys can be sent out to line up when lunch is busy. The business of the shop should be big. There are at least seven or eight guys. I reckon it's Jinyu Restaurant, but it's not clear whether it has anything to do with Sanfang. Sure." Gu Zhao pondered a lot.

Stewed cooking is a rarity. It would be good if Jinyu Restaurant came over sincerely to discuss cooperation. It is open and frank, and you can buy the secret recipe with a few hundred taels of silver. The market in the prefecture and county is so big, and the restaurant is high-end. , but now it seems that they are all low-level methods. Gu Zhao is afraid that the restaurant will not figure it out, and there will be tricks in the future.

"In the final analysis, my status as a scholar is not enough." Gu Zhao sighed.

Li Zhouzhou immediately said: "Those who want to steal prescriptions are bad people. How can the husband blame himself? The exams for scholars are also difficult, and they are very good."

If it wasn't for his father's presence, Gu Zhaoding would have shamelessly rubbed against his wife.

This will naturally fail, Gu Zhao said seriously: "The restaurant is big, and the relationship behind it is unknown, but the bottom line is that it is a blindly boiled business, and it is not a benefit of tens of millions. It would be better if there is no one behind the restaurant. It's done, he is a merchant, I have fame, and our family also has a plaque raised by the lord of the government, so I will be able to bluff those bad-minded people."

"Yes, we still have a plaque in our house." Li Zhouzhou remembered.

Fortunately fortunately.

Li Da immediately put the other half of his heart back into his stomach, You Zhao'er looked at it, and it was unmistakable.

"Even if Sanfang really works in that Jinyu restaurant to settle accounts, and wants to use reason and filial piety to suppress—"

Li Da said in a deep voice: "The family is separated, our family will not take their share of anger, and I will blame me for anything."

"Father, we are a family, so we will advance and retreat together naturally." Gu Zhao felt that it was best for the two elders of the Li family not to come, or to beg for them out of affection—although their family would never reconcile, if they wanted to come Yes, that is the way to really block back.

After all, it's no big deal.Life is like this, your life is prosperous, and you have revealed a way to make money, and there are always people who are jealous and want to trip you up, that can only be resolved, and you can't just let it go.

"In a few days, this place will settle down, and I'll go back to get the plaque." Li Da felt that it would be better to get the plaque and come back early to live in peace.

Gu Zhao has no objection, but there is another matter to bother his father.

"Father, I have a classmate who is a few years older than me. He is from the Yan family village. His family's situation may be more difficult than ours in the village at that time. The fertilizer promotion has not been done, so I said the method of fertilizing the field. This time the farm holiday just started. Get up and go back..."

On the last day of June, Yan Jinxin packed his bags, and was going to go back before dawn the next day.At that time, Class A, their rigorous letter was the last to arrive because of walking.

After hearing this, Zheng Hui hurriedly stopped him, saying that he rented a mule cart to pick up the strict letter along the way.Originally, Zheng Hui was not in a hurry to go back, and he was even more timid because of his hometown, but now he was in a hurry to go back that day for the sake of rigor and trust.

Yan Jinxin went back alone, so the stone powder couldn't be memorized. To reassure Gu Zhao's heart, he said that he didn't need to bother Uncle Li. Uncle Li came back from the village and let him have a good rest. He will go to the town to see when the time comes. There is stone powder, I wrote it down and so on.

Gu Zhao was embarrassed by the trouble, he had promised before.

Yan Jinxin is such a character, straightforward, doesn't like to owe favors to others, and is afraid of troubling others, with arrogance and dignity all over his body.

Gu Zhao checked the local map and knew that Yanjia Village was under Hezhen, which happened to be adjacent to Ningsong Town. If you follow the route, it is not too detour.

"Sure, even if it's a detour, you agree, it's our family's business, and it doesn't take much time to make a trip." Li Dawei kept his promise, and there was nothing to refuse.

After that, the family got busy.

Li Da built the hearth in the shop by himself, and said: "When Zhou Zhou married you, I built the hearth for the banquet in the yard."

Li Zhouzhou was embarrassed, Gu Zhao had a cheeky face, and smiled and praised his father's good craftsmanship, "I met Zhou Zhou very well, and the relationship is smooth now, thanks to the stove built by my father."

Where and where.Li Zhouzhou laughed, and my husband teased him again.

Li Da was very happy, he thought it was right, the stove was well built, and the fire underneath was burning brightly, isn't life getting more and more prosperous?

Another cauldron was ordered.

The extra bought bricks and yellow mud were piled up in the corner of the yard, and the house as long as the firewood house had to be repaired, half of which was the firewood house, along with the grain.Both are places that are particular about dryness, and they can be put together. Now it’s not like in the village, where there are only thirty or forty bags of grain sacks piled up, but now four or five bags are enough for food.

The other side is next to the stove house, and it is planned to build a bathroom, and it is necessary to order a bathtub so that it can take a bath when the weather is cold.This is not urgent, Li Da said that the ground needs to be cleaned up, the bricks are compacted, and he will do it when he comes back.

On the fifth, the big pot on the stove is ready.

Gu Zhao is now on summer vacation, and he is helping Zhou Zhou to work. Li Da is relieved, so he buys stone powder - the money for the stone powder was originally paid by Gu Zhao's private house, and later Li Zhouzhou gave it.

"Let's not talk about the family teaching you to write poems. We should buy it and send it over. But I think Brother Yan is not a person who wants to make small profits. He will definitely give it in the future, so I will pay first." Li Zhouzhou said. .

Xianggong still kept the pocket money, and would buy him some gadgets every time.

Gu Zhao didn't argue, and said: "The wife at home has the final say, I just love you and take care of me."

Zhou Zhou cared about him, so he was willing to take care of him, caring about him was because he cared about him!

On the evening of the [-]th, Li Zhouzhou steamed a pot of meat buns and pancakes. Because of the hot weather, he was afraid that they would be spoiled on the way. It was cool and white, and in the early morning of the [-]th, Li Da went out again in the mule cart.

Yanjia Village, Hezhen.

Summer is busy in July.

I finished working on the wheat in the dry land in June. Fortunately, there is no need to pay grain tax this year. There are scholars in the family, and grain sacks are piled up.All the money from the sale was kept for his son in Shangguan School in Fu County.

On July [-]rd, Yan Jinxin came back, and his family was responsible for selling grain.

On July [-]th, the grain was sold out, and the rice seedlings in his paddy field were about to be transplanted.

This is five days.

Yan's family has a simple population, and Yan Jin believes that his parents are still alive, and there is a grandma above him, and his grandfather has passed away.In order to support Yan Jingxin's study, the family's ancestral land was sold clean, and now there are only six acres of dry land and six acres of paddy fields. The harvest of these twelve acres of fields must satisfy the Yan family's cravings all year round, and they also have to save money. Subsidy for the rigorous letter of expenses for studying in the prefecture and county.

For three years, the entire Yan family has not bought new clothes.

Throughout the year, Yan Jinxin was the only one in the Yan family's pot that could see a bit of meat when he came back. On weekdays, the family of four ate miscellaneous grains and rice.

Yan Jinxin's elder brother was surnamed Liu, so he was called Liu Shu. It was not hard to guess based on the name. When his mother gave birth to him, he might have passed under the willow tree and started to move. The elder brother was worthless, so he took the name Liu Shu casually.

"Ashu, go and deliver food to Xiaoxin, and let him rest for a while so he doesn't get tired. This kid is a filial man. When he comes back, he will work in the fields first, so that you and your father-in-law won't be busy. Let you two rest more. " Grandma Yan kept nagging, but she still felt sorry for her grandson, it was so sunny outside, but she also knew that her grandson was right.

My son and granddaughter-in-law were really exhausted last month.

It is the filial piety of the grandson.

Grandma Yan handed over the prepared food basket to the daughter-in-law.

Liu Shu looks ordinary, and after three years of marriage, he can't finish his work, but it's the same at home. Fortunately, Yan's family is kind and never harsh, beat or scold him.Later, the man was selected as a scholar, and he was praised a lot. Liu Shu was a little panicked when faced with these compliments.

People in the village said that a man became prosperous after he became a scholar and went to the prefecture and county, so he was appointed to look down on him and wanted to divorce him, or he would raise a delicate and beautiful woman outside.

Raising a woman outside, Liu Shu didn't take it to heart, and thought it was good. He was a brother, and he didn't look good. It was natural for a man to develop and have a woman. He was afraid of being kicked out, and there would be no place to stay.

Her natal family thought it was impossible for him to take him in.

The elder brother of the scholar is still successful, and Liu Shu is still in the village. I don't feel much change in the previous life, so what about the man who won the exam?When Liu Shu thought of this, he was both happy and scared.

Happy for men, afraid for myself.

I went to the field with a rice basket.The man was planting rice seedlings, which was originally done by him. Unexpectedly, the man came back and took over. He was not allowed to do it, saying that he would do the cooking and take care of the house.

The willow tree suddenly felt much lighter. After drying the dry fields, he was tired, but he had to get up early to work.The mother-in-law at home is not in good health, and the man is not here, so the father-in-law cannot go to the ground alone, so he has to support himself.

This meeting is strictly believed to be wearing a brown jacket, with trousers rolled up, standing in the paddy field, with arms and sleeves rolled up, the sun is shining again, and the sweat is shining, the muscles of the arms are bulging, and the hands are moving quickly.

"Believe it's time to eat."

Liu Shu doesn't speak loudly like his own man. He is a little afraid of men. Since he got married, the man has spoken harshly, and has a serious face all day long. Especially when he was selected as a scholar, he reads every day. He can't understand.

In fact, when Yan Jingxin was absent, if someone in the village bullied her mother-in-law, Liu Shu would scold her back. She was very aggressive. The mother-in-law of the Yan family and Grandma Yan were both unable to support themselves, so Liu Shu could only be the head of the family. better.

People in the village can't scold you, so they just say that your man has a woman outside, sooner or later.Or frighten Liushu with Yan Jinxin who wants to retire after high school, saying that no one who is an official official wants to have a hot and powerful brother as his wife.

"Is there another way?" Liu Shu was startled, but he didn't doubt the man's lies. It's impossible for his man to tell lies, so he can say whatever he wants.

Yan Jinxin hummed, "I just want to buy stone powder. In two days, I will go to the town after I finish working in the field."

The husband and wife were talking, when someone shouted from the other end of the field, "Jinxin, Xiaoshu is coming back soon, people from the prefecture and county came, saying that your classmate's father came to give some stone powder..."
