Porridge and side dishes [farming]

"It's hard for you to hold back for so long." The magistrate only thought it was funny.

But when I have had enough teasing in my heart, I feel sorry for this son.When I was young and lived alone, I had to figure out everything by myself, how could I know everything?

"You don't have to worry too much." The county magistrate said, "It's normal for a couple to be jealous. Not only is this not a bad thing, but it's a symbol of the good relationship between the two. It's because I care too much. That's why you're jealous. If it wasn't because of your good relationship, who would care who you talk to and get along with?"

Er Gouzi was slightly stunned, what he said made sense: "So, won't Xiao Ji hate it?"

The county magistrate shook his head: "I think he enjoys this very much. The longer he is alone for a long time, the more he longs to be cared for. He is an orphan, and he especially longs for this kind of care. As long as you don't do too much , is a good thing for him."

"Excessive? How is it excessive?" Er Gouzi asked for advice.

The county magistrate thought about it and made a metaphor: "It's like yesterday. You saw him peeling potatoes for me and felt jealous, so you took away the new potatoes he peeled for me. This is because you are jealous, do it It's also just right. If you just raised your hand and knocked off the potatoes I was eating because of jealousy, dragged Li Ji away and lost your temper with him, it would be too much."

This metaphor is quite appropriate.Er Gouzi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"If I'm jealous, I should confront Xiao Ji and not lose my temper."

"It's almost like this." The county magistrate reached out and patted Er Gouzi's shoulder, "You are still a child after all as you grow older. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me."

The county magistrate sincerely hoped that Er Gouzi would come to him more often, so that at least the father and son could spend more time together.

Er Gouzi understood the doubts in his heart, and his mood improved a lot: "If you are unhappy in my heart, can you say it?"

The magistrate nodded: "It's natural. As long as you don't lose your temper, be gentle. That's just a complaint. When the couple are together, who doesn't have a complaint?"

Er Gouzi understood, so he stabbed the magistrate with a knife when he opened his mouth: "Then can you stay away from Xiao Ji?"

The magistrate's body froze, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You even eat your father's jealousy?"

Er Gouzi said seriously: "Wolves also eat vinegar, but of course humans will eat it."

The county grandfather's heart is almost low blood.It is said that he married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, Er Gouzi took a husband and forgot his father.

Er Gouzi also added: "Xiao Ji is the best to you except me. You are also good to him. I don't know how you think of him. If he is good, you can see him too."

"So you think that I, a father, will rob you of your wife?" Seeing Er Gouzi nodding, the county magistrate just wanted a cup of tea to break his face, "You are overthinking. Being a father is not an animal, and it doesn't matter whether you marry or not in the future." Wife. Even if you really know how to find someone to serve as a worshiper, it’s not in the name of robbing your son. I treat him well because he is your father. If I don’t treat him in time because of your relationship Strangers are so hospitable.”

Er Gouzi blinked, and almost made the magistrate kneel down when he spoke: "Are you looking at me?"

The county magistrate kept reminding himself: This son is his own, so don't be angry, and blame it for not teaching him in the past 20 years.

"Forget it, who told you not to have this concept." The county magistrate poured himself a sip of scented tea: "You probably don't know what father and son mean. I treat you well because you are my son. The relationship between father and son It's just father and son. I don't think I can look down on you if you don't exist. Because you have the blood of me and your mother in your body. You are the continuation of the two of us. I say that, can you understand?"

"Because it's father and son, so you won't take a fancy to me?"

The county magistrate is going to go together.Why didn't he know that he was such a stupid son?

"That's what I mean!"

Then Er Gouzi said: "You won't fall in love with me, and you won't fall in love with Xiao Ji either. After that, I won't hate you talking to Xiao Ji."

The magistrate gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you."

Er Gouzi felt better.Those who didn't understand were enlightened by the county magistrate, and the trouble was gone.Er Gouzi felt relieved, and there was a smile on his face.

"Xiao Ji should wake up, I'm going back." Er Gouzi drank the fragrant tea in the cup in one gulp, and left without standing up.

The county magistrate watched the curtain fall and no one was there.Cursing in my heart, it is fortunate that these two people have left, and they don't often live with him.Otherwise, there is such a son who can treat him like a father and be mad at him to death.

What else can I do with such a son?

The county magistrate has been moaning and sighing this morning. ,

When Er Gouzi went back, Li Ji had already woken up, dressed and was washing his face.When Er Gouzi came back, Li Ji couldn't open his eyes with his face full of pancreas.But just listening to the footsteps, Li Ji knew that Er Gouzi had come back.

Li Ji closed his eyes and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Go and see... to see the master, and say a few words." Still can't say the word daddy, so Er Gouzi followed Li Ji to call the master.

Er Gouzi can take the initiative to talk to others, which means that the father and son have made progress in their relationship. Li Ji nodded: "It is time to talk to him more. He loves you. If you do more, he will be happy."

How did Li Ji know that Er Gouzi almost made his father angry.

Li Ji washed the foam off his eyes.He reached out to touch the towel to wipe his face.Er Gouzi reached out and handed it to him, Li Ji wiped his face dry, raised his head and smiled and said, "Aren't you reluctant to part with him too? Just say that you have broken the bones and tendons, so you must be close."

"I'm good with him, don't you hate it?" Er Gouzi said, "If you talk to him more, I will feel very uncomfortable. You say it's jealousy, why don't you get jealous because of me."

Li Ji raised his finger: "Keep your voice down! You're not afraid of being heard."

Li Ji glanced around, then reached out and gave Er Gouzi a slap on the forehead: "I really don't know what your head looks like, why do you want to be jealous of your own father? I have a good relationship with your father because of you. If I were a big girl, you would still say that you are afraid of picking up ashes, your father has a deep affection for your mother, and you are afraid that he will marry you a male stepmother?"

Er Gouzi could understand half of these words, and said: "He said the same thing. He said that he treats you well because you are my wife."

"Then you still have to ask me? Do you believe your father or me?" After Li Ji finished the training, he couldn't stop laughing, "If I talk about this, I'm afraid I'm going to be a joke. I've seen someone who can be jealous , I have never seen you so jealous. After all, you are the best."

Er Gouzi didn't understand what he was laughing at, but seeing that Li Ji was not dissatisfied, he felt much better.

"There are many things I don't understand. Because I don't understand, everything I think will be different. When we are together, you smile at me, cook for me, and sleep on the kang at night. This is a couple. So I saw you smiling at others. Cooking for others to eat, I thought you were going to sleep on a kang."

There is nothing wrong with this logic.But this conclusion feels wrong.

"You and I have convinced you, and we can think of everything together." I just washed my hands, and the water is still not dry, which makes it a little cold.Touching Er Gouzi's face with his hand: "There is more than this for two people to be comfortable together. It's like when I'm in a bad mood, I can complain to you. You won't be angry, and I can forget about it later, and our life will still be the same Hehemeimei. If you have a quarrel with outsiders, even if you turn around and make up. I still have lumps in my heart, and I can’t go back to the past.”

Li Ji rubbed Er Gouzi's nose with his steamy forehead: "I'm too lazy to get up in the morning, I just wait for you to dress me. I'm too lazy to cook and wait for you to cook for me. I can enjoy your treatment of me so unscrupulously." It’s good not to ask for anything in return, just because I rely on you to like me. And I will only affect myself because of your situation. For example, if you go up the mountain, I will worry all day. If you are pestered by other girls, I will also feel sour Jealous. We are a couple, and we are very consistent on this."

Er Gouzi raised his head slightly, the tip of his nose moved away and his lips pressed against Li Ji's forehead.

"I don't know anything after that, you tell me. If you don't like who I talk to, I won't tell him. If you don't like what I do, I won't do it. But if I feel uncomfortable because of you, I'll tell you, don't be angry with me."

"Stupid, who would be willing to be angry with you." Who wouldn't treat such a silly and cute boy as a treasure?

Er Gouzi also washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and the two of them were ready to go to the county magistrate's tent for dinner.

When the two came in, they first met a pair of resentful eyes.When Li Ji looked over, he looked away again.

"Sit down." The county magistrate looked at these two young bastards in anger.Just such a son.It's fine if you say it hurts your wife.As a father, he talked to his wife a lot, and his son liked it.

The two sat down, and the servants began to serve the dishes.Rinse your mouth with tea first, and see that most of the porridge and side dishes on the table are light.Li Ji's appetite was so great that he just waited for the magistrate to put down his chopsticks and eat together.

"I wanted Dingxian to come over to eat together. If I don't think about it, he's going to be adopted here, so I'm sure he'll have a lot to say to his parents. Let them get along more. After dinner, let Little Tudou come over Kowtow, you will be considered as our Shen family from now on."

"You want to change your surname too?" Li Ji asked.In fact, these words are also nonsense, how can an adoptive still let the family have the original surname?

"Of course, if you don't change your surname, you can just recognize your godson. After this adoption, you will be included in our family tree, and then you will be in the blood of the Shen family. After a while, you will be ready for a banquet and an incense table. The surname is officially changed to Shen. His biological parents are not allowed to interact with each other according to the rules. Our family is not a mean family, and I think our parents will not stop us. Just stay with us as much as possible. Over there in the mansion Instead, a ancestral hall was built, which doesn’t exist in this mountain.”

Li Ji nodded.This is by the rules.In fact, originally, Li Ji planned to adopt him under his own name.Originally, he had no children and could not marry.It is more natural to adopt the blood of the family to inherit the incense.

It's just that it's more justifiable to put it under the name of Er Gouzi for the grandson of the county magistrate.From the left to the right is the child of the two of them, with the same surname as anyone else.

We still have to take care of the magistrate's thoughts.Originally, I couldn't get close to my son.They have to face the loss of children and grandchildren.It is a kind of happiness to have a grandson Cheng Huan under his knees.

Had breakfast.Sit down and chat for a while.Hearing the announcement from the servant outside, Little Tudou came over.

Little Tudou walked in, lacking energy, with swollen eyes, and knelt down in front of the three of them. He didn't know what to call him, but kowtowed respectfully.

"We will be a family from now on, there are no such rules. Come here." The county magistrate said.

Little Tudou stood up and walked over. He had already changed from his rough clothes to brocade.The head is also tied up and wrapped in a piece of blue cloth. It really looks like a noble son who has read a lot of poetry and books.

"You're still young, so you should be uncomfortable. But since you have no objection to this matter, your parents have agreed. You will be our Shen family from now on. Come and meet your father."

Little Tudou faced Er Gouzi, knelt down and called Dad.Er Gouzi didn't understand this, so Li Ji pushed him and told him in a low voice to help the child up.

Er Gouzi doesn't know how to lecture, so if he kowtows, he recognizes his son.Li Ji thought that such a young child would have to completely change his family and environment.It's also pitiful, although he was the one who came up with the idea in the first place.

Li Ji touched Little Tudou's head, sighed and said: "If you blame me, you should. But the master is kind, and will not hinder you from being with your parents in the future. In the future, you will have more than one father, and more than one will love you Grandpa, this is also a blessing."

Little Tudou nodded: "I know Fourth Grandpa loves me."

Little Tudou didn't blame him, Li Ji felt a little dark in his heart, touched Little Tudou's head and said: "From now on, we will still talk about our own ways. If you call me Fourth Grandpa, you don't need to change this name. It's just that you, Uncle Two Dog Let’s call him Dad. His first name is Shen Chang’an. From now on, your first name will be Shen Jie. From now on, we will live as usual, and you will still be the little potato I grew up with.”

Little Tudou suddenly left home and became someone else's child. Although he didn't feel disgusted, he couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable.Hearing what Li Ji said.So he got into Li Ji's arms and cried.

Put some snacks on the table, let Little Potato eat more, and the two will go back after paying him a while.

It was lucky that it didn't snow last night.When you go back, you can step on the footprints when you came, saving some effort.

The magistrate still didn't come out, and it was Little Tudou who sent them off.

At the gate of the camp, Li Ji was still telling Little Tudou that he must listen more to the county magistrate in the future.The county magistrate is a man of great wisdom. If you mention him more, there are only benefits and no harm.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi lived here for one night. Er Gouzi solved his doubts and picked up another son for nothing, which was the biggest gain.It actually emptied the mind of the county magistrate. It's only strange that these two dogs are too good at piercing people's hearts.

On the way back, I walked for two hours, and when I got there, there were white eyebrows and white hats again.As soon as the hat was taken off, two wisps of blue smoke swayed from his head. Li Ji sat there and rested for a while, listening to Ge Er say that there were two more dead rabbits at the door this morning.The two stewed the meat according to the old habit and put it in the woods a little further away, waiting for the wolf to come back to eat.

From now on on this mountain, we will continue to maintain this kind of relationship.

Li Ji rubbed his knee-high tail, there were enough wolves, and it wasn't too boring to leave someone to live in this giant tent.

After nearly half a month, there were several snowfalls. Fortunately, none of them were very heavy, but there was no wind, and the thickness of the snow was very uniform.

Because enough snow, enough water.The six people don't need to be too frugal. They should be more diligent in melting snow, taking a shower, and washing clothes.Li Ji put on the days of washing every day and changing a set of clothes every day, not to mention how beautiful it is.

The inside of the giant tent is warm because of the fire.When Li Ji was free, he stood in the yard and felt the soil on the ground. Although it was very cold, it was always freezing.Li Ji simply picked out some hardy seeds and planted them. After waiting for a few days, they really took root and sprouted.

It's just that the windows will definitely be open during the day.It's okay at night, but it's cold during the day.So the seedlings don't grow very fast.But it's a good thing it didn't freeze to death.

Someone came to tell him that the day of Xiaotuo's adoption had arrived.The two of them changed their clothes, wrapped them tightly in a heavy coat, and went back to the camp in the knee-deep snow.

It was a very lively day at the camp.In the past, I only knew that Little Tudou was good at studying, so he was quite liked by the county magistrate.But I didn't expect the county magistrate to like him so much that he directly recognized him as his grandson.

And this thing was done grandly, almost taking out the good things in the camp and cooking a good meal for the whole camp.It was when Little Tudou kowtowed and came out to be a witness and say some blessings.When it's over, they will go back to their houses, and the good food and dishes will be delivered, and each household will have two taels of warm wine.

Most of the things prepared before going up the mountain are practical things like food and bedding, and things like wine are not so important.So not many were brought up, and it was a luxury for each family to get two taels.

When Li Jidao, it was already very lively here.Because of the poor conditions, the adoption was easy for a while.Otherwise, it would be even more grand for the county magistrate to recognize his grandson than that festival.

When he arrived, he greeted the magistrate, and sat on a small stool not far from the magistrate.At this time, when the two came back, everyone was there.

Little Tudou knelt there and listened to the county magistrate say a lot.Many of them are literary, and Li Ji can't understand them.Most of them are home training.From now on, Little Tudou will enter the Shen family, and will become the eldest son and grandson of the Shen family in the future.This status directly skipped a good season, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he reached the sky in one step.

Little Tudou is dressed in Chinese clothes, because he has done a lot of work, and his face is tanned a lot.But even so, this well-dressed voice, coupled with his original bookishness, made him look like a rich man.

After the lecture was over, Little Tudou also said some words that he had prepared in advance.These were all taught by the county magistrate, and most of them were some words of filial piety to the elders as the descendants of the Shen family in the future.This is all in accordance with the rules.

Li Ji saw that Li Jin and Erying were wiping tears in the crowd, and those standing next to them were also crying, but their eyes were more blank.

When it was over there, everyone went back to their homes.

Li Jin's current family of three were called to the county magistrate's tent together.If the camp is not big for sleeping people, there is plenty of room for eating together.

A table with rare rich dishes, Li Ji called Yingzi to his side and watched her eat more.

"From now on, Yingzi will be our Li family's girl. Before she gets married, she will be our Li family's baby lump." Li Ji stroked Yingzi's head. Yingzi's hair was simply tied at the back, but her face was long. She looks handsome, and she doesn't look embarrassed.

Erying sighed, trying to show a little smile on his face.Yingzi was originally raised into the family as a child bride-in-law, but now Xiaotuo has become a member of the Shen family. Under the two of them, Yingzi is the only one left.

Child brides and serious daughters, there is a difference between eating and drinking.The child bride-in-law is half a servant, and the serious daughter-in-law is one of the components of the family.Although Yingzi had never been regarded as an outsider before, and he was supported by his own daughter, but after all, no dear girl said it nicely.

The kid's past is also a poor one.Her biological parents disliked her, and sold her as a child bride-in-law when she was still young.Although Li Jin's family treated her well, it was unavoidable that she was bought.

Now being able to have a decent identity is a blessing in disguise.

But, what if Yingzi doesn't like little potatoes?No matter how good Lijin's family is to her.It was also a disaster for him.

But now, Li Jin and Erying should have discussed it.Yingzi still wants to marry Xiaotuo, but as a girl from the Li family, the price is already Xiaotuo who is the grandson of the county grandpa.When the time comes, they will hold a baby and continue Li Jin's incense.

Thinking about it this way, Li Ji especially wanted to know Yingzi's own thoughts.Does she really like little potatoes?Even if you like it now, Yingzi is just a child, what about when you grow up?

The more I think about it, the more I feel the need to ask Erying what he thinks.

This meal was a bit sluggish.It is naturally a happy event for the county magistrate to have a grandson of Jin, but Li Jin and his wife want to send their children out, which makes them feel uncomfortable.Little Tudou knew that he would not have to worry about studying in the future, and that the magistrate would teach him in person, but when he saw his biological parents, he felt uncomfortable.

Li Jin and Erying are still young, and they can ask for another one.The future of Little Potato is immeasurable.Changing the road will make his front even smoother.

The road after being an official is always wider than the road of being born in a poor family.This is also a kind of sadness.

After dinner, Li Ji and Er Gouzi went back to the house to rest for a while.Little Tudou and the grandpa and grandson of the county will get along more after they recognize their relatives.Li Ji called Yingzi into the room, and asked Er Gouzi to pay attention to whether there was anyone coming.

"Yingzi, there are no outsiders here. Tell Fourth Grandpa, do you want to marry Little Tudou?"

Yingzi didn't understand why Li Ji asked this question, she blinked her eyes and said, "Of course I did."

"You like little potatoes very much." Li Ji asked again.

Yingzi said: "That's right. And why do you ask me? My parents have said that I have been Little Tudou's daughter-in-law since the day I entered the house. Why do you ask me if I want to?"

Li Ji was speechless.In the heart of little Yingzi, there is no concept of making decisions on this matter.This is what many girls think.Marriage is two people living together.It's up to the parents to decide this kind of thing. If the girl wants to decide for herself, that is treason.

That's why Li Yan was reprimanded back then. Now, Li Qiaoer still dare not mention that she wants to pick her husband's family.

Li Ji's bedside person is chosen by himself, and no one has instilled that way in him since he was a child, so it is reasonable to think that marriage should be a matter of your love and my wish.

Now just a word from Yingzi taught Li Ji a very vivid lesson.

Li Ji was silent for a while, confused for a while, and said, "Yingzi, promise fourth grandpa. Don't tell outsiders a word of what I'm going to say next. When your parents ask you, you just say I'm telling you Honor them more. Do you understand?"

Yingzi nodded.Li Ji then said: "From now on, I mean anytime, anywhere. If you have someone you like, someone you want to marry. You can come to Fourth Grandpa anytime. Fourth Grandpa will make decisions for you. Our Li family, There will be no forced marriages in the future. With Fourth Grandpa around, you can do it according to your own ideas. "

These words were so deviant that Yingzi felt her heart beating violently when she heard it.Because he had never been in contact with it before, he was very excited when he heard it suddenly.

Li Ji continued to speak: "After you hear this, it will rot in your stomach alone. You can't help but tell the second person. Do you understand?"

Yingzi nodded heavily.Even at a young age, he still knew the weight of Li Ji's words.Li Ying is a timid person, she is afraid that if this matter gets out, her parents will be angry.At the same time, it also has a different freshness, which makes her little mind a little different.

It turned out that she could make decisions for herself.

After seeing Yingzi off, Li Ji wanted to ask Little Tudou what he meant.Little Tudou likes Yingzi who takes one bite and one daughter-in-law.But this big kid really understands what liking is?

It's just that Little Tudou is still cultivating a relationship with the new grandpa, so it's not easy for Li Ji to disturb him.

After sitting idle with Er Gouzi in the room for a while, a servant came in to announce that Li Jin's eldest nephew, Li Chang, was coming to see Li Ji.

Li Chang is the eldest son of Li Ji's eldest brother's family, and he doesn't have much contact with Li Ji.Li Jin is the second son, and since Li Ji's father and elder brother left, they have kept in contact with each other, but not much.But in comparison, Li Ji had a better relationship with Li Jin's family from the beginning to the end.

Li Chang is also Li Tian's biological father. The head of Li Chang's family is Ding Xingwang, and the youngest son is Li Tian.At the beginning Li Ji paid for him to go to school, but in fact he learned faster than Little Tudou at first.It was only later that Xiaotuo became more outstanding, and because of his cleverness, he was favored by the county magistrate, so he was overtaken by Xiaotuo.

In fact, this is not surprising.Li Tian is two years older than Little Tudou, and the smartest and most able to learn are only a few years old.Little Tudou's learning progress is much faster than before.It is also excusable.

In fact, now Li Ji is a little afraid that his family will find him.It is also a nephew, and now Li Jin's family can be said to follow suit.Theoretically speaking, Li Ji can't be biased, and should reach out to Li Chang.But Li Jin's family is my own blessing, and they also gave away the only seedling in the family, which may not be all a good thing.

It's just that Li Chang probably can't see this now.

Only Li Chang came, without his wife and children.Li Ji sat firmly on the kang, and Er Gouzi and Li Ji cut a kang table.He bows his head to drink tea and doesn't speak, but he has a special sense of presence.

Li Chang saw Er Gouzi. Although he didn't know Er Gouzi's real identity, he also knew that he was a son of a rich family. Even in this kind of war, he was not easy to offend.

After seeing Er Gouzi, Li Chang looked at Li Ji.Li Ji was also calm, and took a sip of tea before opening his mouth: "I thought I would sleep for a while after drinking, what's the matter here?"

The more unhurried Li Ji's attitude was, the greater the pressure on Li Chang's heart.In fact, when Li Ji was born, Li Chang was married, and now all grandchildren are on the list.It stands to reason, but judging from his age, there is no need to be afraid of Li Ji.

It's just that Li Ji's seniority really overwhelms him in this first place; at the same time, Li Ji has been with the county magistrate for a long time, and his actions show that he has learned a little bit of the county magistrate's style.Wherever you go, if you don't speak, you will be like a Buddha.Coupled with the sound of decent clothes, it is true that it came from a rich family.

What's more, Li Ji always went in and out of the county magistrate's tent, so when facing each other like this, he naturally lowered his tone of voice.

"Fourth Uncle, you came and went in a hurry before. I wanted to meet but I couldn't meet people if I talked more about myself. Now I can see you?"

"I've been caught by you." Li Ji finished half-jokingly, "Sit down, you're not an outsider, and you really think of me as the magistrate of the county?"

Li Ji spoke softly, but the words were somewhat alienated.It can't be blamed that Li Ji is not attached to the affection between uncle and nephew.It's just because Li Ji and Li Ji don't have much contact with them.At this age, Li Chang doesn't say that being his grandfather is enough to be his father.It was because Li Jisheng was late, and when I faced him when I was very young, I had to see him and call him nephew.

Also because of the age gap.And when Li Ji was born, Li Chang happened to be getting married.When we got married, because the eldest son got married, he could get more money from his father, but because of Li Ji's birth, Li Ji's eldest brother, Li Bo, took care of this place, and what was given to Li Chang was A circle smaller.

Because when Uncle Li got married, Father Li Ji gave her all the property.Later, Li Ji was born, and Li Jiniang was seriously ill, and she didn't even have milk.Whether Li Ji can support him is another matter.At this time, as the eldest son, can he watch?Even if the father doesn't want it, Uncle Li has to take out three melons and two dates.Otherwise, regardless of whether he can live in his own heart, all the spit stars in the village can castrate him.

Suspicious Li Chang felt somewhat resentful towards Li Ji.Li Chang's daughter-in-law looked down on Li Ji because of this matter, so Li Chang and Li Ji sorted it out slowly.During Chinese New Year and holidays, sometimes I personally deliver the food and leave after a stop, or if I don’t have time to come, I ask someone to deliver it.

There are a lot of etiquette that should be there.It is that people are alienated.So after Li Ji got money, even though he treated his two nephews equally and gave them two shares of good things, he still had more frequent contacts with Li Jin's family.

This gave rise to the illusion that Li Ji favored Li Jin.Even if it is biased, at most, when Xiaotuo and Yingzi come, give them more snacks.

Li Chang sat down, and couldn't find a topic to talk about for a while.On the contrary, Li Jixian said: "Don't blame me for coming and going in a hurry. In fact, I always accompany Er Gouzi. Er Gouzi's family has some friendship with the county magistrate, so it's okay to take it over to have a look. I was originally a foil, and I didn't It’s good to leave Er Gouzi to do his own thing, so that people will remember his displeasure. Recently, he is busy with the affairs of Little Tudou. Speaking of which, Little Tudou is lucky to be able to be favored by the county magistrate. It is said that I am blessed enough, but now it is not as good as it is. It is said that naughty children are promising, now it seems true."

Li Chang had some doubts: "Didn't you build this bridge?"

Li Ji laughed immediately, and what he said seemed to be true: "What do you take me for? If I have this ability, what's the matter with Little Tudou? I'm rushing to call Dad. It's a pity that people The county magistrate rarely reads books, and he also likes children who can read well. This little potato has caught people's eyes, and we can't envy him."

After Li Ji said that, most of what Li Chang had prepared had no place to say it.Li Changxin was not feeling well either.Originally, there were many children in the family, so it must be more blessed to be the only child in Li Jin's family.Listening to the whispers in the village, the blessings of the old Li family are all piled up in the Li Chang's family. There are many children, and it will definitely be the best family in the old Li family in the future.

The result is now?The uncle who was disrespectful in the past picked up a savage and then went straight uphill. That is wireless wisdom.And what about Li Jin's family?Obviously there is only such a child, who has been scoured like a monkey since he was a child, and they all think that Li Jin's family must be messed up in the future, and it is even possible that the family will go extinct.

Unexpectedly, this little potato seemed to have opened up, and he was liked by the county magistrate, and even became the eldest son and grandson of the county magistrate.In the future, don't say whether the county magistrate will still be an official. The family property he accumulated from being an official for so many years will be owned by Xiaotuo alone.

As for Li Chang's family, they used to live the most prosperous life, but now they are set off by this.I feel like I've lost sight of it.

"Little Tudou is promising, and I, the uncle, am also happy to see it. It's just..." Li Chang sighed, "Speaking of truth, it has nothing to do with our family. But after all, it is a family of the same blood. Said I'm greedy, and I admit it. Xiaotian and Xiaotuo went to study together, and Xiaotian reads better than Xiaotuo, but there is no fate. Let the magistrate look at Xiaotuo first. I have been with Xiaotuo for a long time Say. Let him mention his brother to the magistrate in a few more words, so that there will be prospects in the future, and the two brothers will be taken care of when they are together."

Li Ji had finished all the first words, but he was afraid that Li Chang would say something else.However, Li Chang wanted to speak out with all his heart, but Li Ji couldn't do anything about it.

Li Ji drank tea and covered the coolness in his eyes with his sleeves.

Li Chang continued: "It's just that these days have passed, and I haven't seen the county magistrate meet Xiaotian once. Little Tudou just said that the county magistrate didn't agree, and it's not good for me to push Xiaotian directly into the county magistrate's tent, right?" ? If our Li family can produce a scholar, it means smoke is rising from the ancestral grave. If there are two promising children, it’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

Li Ji put down his teacup and cleared his throat.

"Finished?"

Li Chang nodded, and Li Ji said: "Then it's my turn. In terms of age, I'm afraid I have to weigh it carefully when talking to you. But since you have the upper hand in seniority, you will allow me to call myself your elder." .”

"That's right, you are my elder. Seniority doesn't depend on age." Li Chang laughed.

"Since this is the case, then I have nothing to say." Li Ji's face turned cold, "What do you mean by those words just now? Is it because the county magistrate has lost sight, or is Little Tudou trying to trick your family into not giving Xiaotian Is there a chance? Of all the children in this camp, which county magistrate hasn’t seen them? We can control who we look up to and who we look down upon?”

Li Ji's words were smug, and Li Chang listened in a daze.

Li Ji continued: "You said that Little Tudou was promising and needed a brother to help you, but you didn't look at where Little Tudou went. Don't say that our old Li's family went out to make something. From today onwards, Little Tudou doesn't belong to our old Li's family. He is the eldest son and grandson of the county magistrate, the only one under the county magistrate. What kind of relatives are we? What kind of brothers are we?"

Little Tudou entered the family's door and paid homage to the family's ancestors.From now on, it will be Miao from the Shen family.It is Shen's kindness to communicate with the Li family in the future. Even if he orders him not to communicate with him in the future, it is only natural.In the future, the ancestors I worshiped, the clothes I ate and wore, all belonged to the county magistrate's family, and had nothing to do with Li Ji.

What he said was reasonable, and if Li Ji tried to reason with him at this time, Li Chang would not be very good at continuing to treat him favorably.

Li Chang's face was a little bit uneasy after being scolded by Li Ji.Originally, he was only two and a half rounds older than Li Ji, how could he stand being lectured by Li Ji now?

But Li Ji is an elder, and Li Chang lost his temper because he couldn't pay the bill clearly.

He just said with sourness: "That's me asking for boredom. Run around and say something. You have always loved my brother, fourth uncle."

These words made Li Ji's heart cold.Li Ji sneered, and didn't care to save him face:

"If you say that, don't blame me for tearing it apart and breaking it up with you. Let me ask you, when have I been biased in the past two years since I got rich? Did I give Li Jin something that I didn't give you? Or I won’t give you any good things? Don’t forget, Xiaotian’s education is paid for by me. How old is Xiaotian? It’s enough for him to marry a wife after two years! I gave it to Li Jin for fear of missing you, did you take it with you?"

Li Changgang was about to speak, but Li Jin didn't give her a chance to speak, and said, "You only care about your own grievances, and you don't even think about what I'm partial to."
