The family is not short of money now. After all, the yard in the city cost more than five hundred taels, so I bought it as soon as I asked.
But they are used to living a simple life. Unless there are major festivals or guests come to the house, the Li family is still not used to being too wasteful.
In this way, both meat and vegetables can be eaten by people of all ages, which is also very good!
After the dining table was cleared, Tao Hongying came to look for the old lady with two pieces of cloth in her arms.
"Mom, I saw that the sword and martial arts attire of Jiaren's academy was very good, the sleeves were narrow, and he could move his hands and feet easily. I found two pieces of strong and wear-resistant material, and tried to sew one for Mr. Hou. Try?"
"Okay, I'll sew with you." The old lady agreed immediately and helped pull the fabric apart.
"Master Hou is so kind to our Fu Niu on weekdays. We really have nothing to repay. We can only give Zhang Luo more food. Remember to wait for the weather to get better and make some dry noodles and preserved meat. Those people today don't look like good friends. I'm afraid that the Marquis will have to go to war."
"I think so too." As soon as Tao Hongying responded, Li Laosi came in and sat on the edge of the Kang without speaking for a long time. .
Jiayin originally hugged a cloth tiger, but when she saw that her father looked wrong, she crawled over.
Li Laosi rarely hugged his daughter, rubbed her soft little hair, then stood up and knelt on the ground, "Mom, I have something to say."
The old lady was threading a needle, and when the tip of the needle pricked her finger, blood beads appeared. .
She slowly turned her head to look at her youngest son, as if she thought of something, her heart sank.
Li Laosi lowered his head, not daring to look at his mother's face, and spoke out in one breath.
"Mother, the thing that Dingbei Marquis was burned today was his son's doing. My son hated him for scolding Fu Niu and making my mother angry. But my son is a commoner and he is the Marquis. My son can't beat him blatantly. He can only use some petty tricks. Means. Just like when the man named Jiao almost killed all of us at the dock, my son had no choice but to strip him naked and make him look ugly. He didn't dare to kill him for fear of damaging the family!"
He knocked his head to the ground, deeply She took a breath and said, "Mom, my son wants to be a soldier. He wants to follow the Marquis to kill barbarians and make great achievements! My son must be powerful and powerful, so that no one dares to bully our family or scold my daughter again!"
Tao Hongying She opened her mouth wide in shock, trying to speak, but no sound came out.
The old lady was also staring at the top of her son's head, tears falling down, "Your eldest brother and Jiayi just left, can't we even keep you in our family?"
"Mother... mother! Don't cry, I am ...Just talking casually!" Li Laosi looked up and saw his mother crying. He was really frightened. He threw himself to the edge of the kang and hugged my mother's thigh. He was so panicked that he hurriedly retorted.
Unfortunately, the old lady got angry and pointed to the door, "Get out!"
"Mom..." Li Laosi felt a little regretful, but more of aggrieved. He wanted to say something, but Tao Hongying pushed him out.
Jiayin was also a little overwhelmed. She crawled to her grandma and pulled her sleeves to wipe her tears.
The old lady hugged her granddaughter and sobbed, "I knew it, I knew it, your father couldn't bear it anymore! He has been reckless since he was a child, and he has so much strength. If your uncle hadn't been lost, you Dad has gone out to make a living a long time ago.
"Now that your uncle has been found and the family life is getting better, he is interested again! Why doesn't he want to be bullied at home? Why don't he want you to be scolded again? He just wants to kill the barbarians and show off his power! Tao
Hongying also wiped away tears, "At that time, he was following escort Liu, and I was scared. I always felt that he was going to fly away, leaving our mothers behind and never come back... Every time he went out, his eyes were shining. It's like our home is a cage! "
The good news was caught between grandma and my mother. She couldn't even wipe her tears in time.
In fact, she couldn't bear to leave her father.
After all, swords have no eyes. The world only sees success and fame. Who sees piles of corpses on the battlefield?
But she also understood that her father was born with supernatural powers and was a top-notch marksman. He was a good man who should have made great achievements and become famous all over the world. However, for the sake of the elderly and children in the family, he had been trapped in the fields and was not allowed to use it. It was really frustrating. ...
Li Laoer heard something was wrong in the main room and came over to check. He was a little confused when he saw his younger brother kneeling at the door.
He asked a few words in a low voice, then sat on the threshold and sighed, "You have been restless since you were a child. I have wronged you for the sake of the family for so many years. It is true that you want to make contributions, but mother and Hong Ying can't bear to leave you, that's even more true!"
"Second brother..." Li Laosi burst into tears, "I just feel aggrieved. I can only be happy if I kill barbarians! I want to be a general and follow the Marquis to conquer half of the country. . At that time, no one dared to bully our family. No matter how much money our family had, we were not afraid of being jealous. I would chop up anyone who dared to be jealous!
"It's not like now, if anyone bullies our family, I can only act like a thief and a ruffian." , sneaking up and taking revenge. I...I just can't hold my breath. I have no place to use all my strength! "
Li Laoer recalled that he also wanted to study and take the top prize, but his eldest brother suddenly disappeared, his mother was widowed, and his younger brother was younger. He had no choice but to put down his books and go to the city to find errands. He was scolded and driven away by others. In the end, he endured countless hardships before he could survive. When he got to the position of the counting room...
he was unwilling to give up, suffered pain and resentment, but he could only swallow it with tears.
Now that he is older, his dream of studying can only be comforted by educating his children.
But . The younger brother is still young, very capable, and has the convenience of the Marquis...
He sighed, got up and went into the house, and began to persuade: "Mom, the fourth brother... is really pitiful. If you are worried that he is gone, what will happen to your family at home?" If no one is taking care of you, don't worry, I can take care of it all. Mrs.
Li wiped away her tears, glared at her son, and said angrily: "Your eldest brother has left, and you have taken over the school. You have to take care of the valley in the afternoon, and the fourth brother has also left. What are you going to do?" Going to work in the orchard at night? "
Lao Er Li lowered his head and said nothing, but Mrs. Li began to feel sorry for her son again, "Okay, okay, I'll think about it carefully. You all go to bed. "
When Li Laoer heard this, he knew that my mother was a little shaken, so she quickly put it away, got up and left.
Tao Hongying also hurriedly packed up her sewing basket and went back to "talk" with her husband. Mrs.
Li didn't want to wash up, so she laid out I got off the quilt, hugged my granddaughter and went straight into the bed.
Fortunately, Brother Cat went to sleep with An Jiaxi tonight, otherwise he would have been frightened again.
This child's parents are not around, so no matter how much his family loves him, he is still brave. Small.
The old lady was thinking wildly and actually fell asleep like that.
Jiayin was worried about her grandma and lay aside obediently. Listening to her grandma breathing evenly, she quickly entered the small space courtyard.
For no other reason than to quickly search for useful things Ah!
How can parents in the world win against their children?
Even though grandma is so fiercely opposed now, as expected, she will still compromise in the end.
Then dad will definitely follow the Marquis on the expedition, so it's better to prepare something for him as soon as possible Use things to defend yourself!
But she has swept away the things in this small courtyard so many times. It is really not easy to find something useful...
