Porridge and side dishes [farming]

This idea is very smooth, and it can be said that this is the answer. Li Ji slapped the table: "That's easy to solve. Just dig this side or fill that side. It's just that the waterway on the other side can't be filled." Cut off, after all, no one knows whether there are people on the other side relying on their lives. Even if there is no one in the lake over there, there must be many beasts relying on the drinking water. The water veins are the spiritual veins. "

The two can go up the mountain to hunt, get skins and meat, or go up the mountain to cut trees for their own use, but they can't really cut off their way of life.Taking a step back, the mountain range is the basis for the people below the mountain to survive. If the mountain range is changed, the people below the mountain will definitely be affected.

Er Gouzi didn't understand those things, so he just listened carefully.After getting this answer, Li Ji couldn't stay idle any longer. He stood up and let Er Gouzi look after the house, and went to the village to talk to the village head about the matter.

The village chief waited anxiously for Li Ji. When Li Ji came over, it was already dark, but fortunately, the moonlight was able to see the light.

As soon as Li Ji came, the village chief quickly asked, "How is it?"

"I figured it out." Li Ji went into the room and sat down and told the village chief what Er Gouzi saw.

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "It will be easier if we know about it. Tomorrow, we will have to trouble Er Gouzi to go to the mountain again and dig some more with a shovel. Next year our village will be able to use water again."

Li Jidao: "It's not a problem for Er Gouzi to dig. The problem is that if he digs there, he will have to dig for a while. If he stays in one place for a long time, Er Gouzi can't guarantee whether he will be targeted by some ferocious beasts. And the frozen soil It’s not easy to dig out, if you wait until the beasts are melted, there will be more. If you are dissatisfied, Er Gouzi came back so late today because he was chased by wild boars. Afraid of running back and attracting wild boars, he ran a long way to get rid of wild boars. Come back. Ergouzi is not a Daluo god, this matter is quite difficult."

No one in the village can go up the mountain, only Er Gouzi can, so the hope of the water source falls on Er Gouzi, but Er Gouzi's safety is equally important, and Er Gouzi cannot be taken away for the sake of drinking water for the villagers. The dog rides in.

Thinking about it this way, the village chief also began to worry: "Why don't the men in our village go back to the mountain together again? We went up together last time, and the wild beasts would hide when they saw it. This is safer."

Li Ji shook his head and said: "The last time it was to save people, it's different, and all the men in the village went there, and the only ones who could scare them were lions and tigers and other wild beasts that walked alone. If they encountered wild boars, they would go crazy and die. Even if all the men in the village go up, there will be casualties. I am young and have no idea, so I leave this matter to you, the village chief, and you decide how we listen."

The village chief smiled wryly, Li Ji gave him a hot potato.How else to decide?Let Li Ji finish what needs to be said, and the village head is really hanging on the position of being unable to rise or fall.

Let Er Gouzi go up the mountain?No, the mountain is dangerous, Er Gouzi can't stay in one place for a long time.Don't let Er Gouzi go up?If there is still drought and low water level in the coming year, the villagers will have to be forced to leave their homes and move away.

Human life should be cherished, but the hometown that has been reproduced for generations cannot be easily lost.

Li Ji knew that the village head was in trouble, but compared to Er Gouzi, Li Ji would rather the village head be in trouble.

"Then let me think about it more, there will always be a solution." The village chief sighed and let Li Ji go back first.

Li Ji walked back, feeling heavy in his heart.Today he was able to talk to the fullest about the village chief's idea of ​​letting Er Gouzi go up the mountain, but there is really no way to wait for a long time. I am afraid that the village will spontaneously put pressure on Er Gouzi to go up the mountain to solve it.

After all, the danger is accidental. Er Gouzi may not die if he goes up the mountain, but if he doesn't go up the mountain and the village's water supply is not solved, then the villagers will really move out.

On the bright side, human life is more important, and Er Gouzi should not be allowed to take risks, but if they vote secretly, they will probably choose to let Er Gouzi go up the mountain.After all, Er Gouzi is an outsider, and drinking water is his own business.

It is said that those who are capable work harder, and most of them are used to kidnap capable people at such times.

The more Li Ji thought about it, the more he worried about Er Gouzi's future situation.Even if Er Gouzi is not forced to go up the mountain in the future, it is certain that he will be blamed by the villagers. Although Er Gouzi doesn't like to associate with them, he lives in a village after all. It may make Er Gouzi unable to stay in the village.

Er Chanzi's mother and son are a lesson from the past. The young men in the village who are harmed in disguise are not easy to talk about. Until now, when will their mother and son not spend their days in ridicule?Overtly and secretly, I don't know how many times I have been cleaned up.

Er Gouzi is simple-minded, only knows the tricks of hunting, counting ten of them, he is not as good as an ordinary person.

The more he thought about it, the more worried Li Ji was walking home. At this moment, he heard someone rushing over, and saw Li Ji stop: "Fourth Uncle, you are here. It just so happens that I don't have to go to your house to look for you. There was blood in the fight over there, just because of a dipper of water, whoever has more and who has less. You go to see, there are elders pressing them down, so they can be honest. Every day, life is already difficult enough It’s okay, let’s make a fuss.”

Li Ji's eyes darkened when he heard this, and said: "I won't go through this bloody mess. I'm young, and it's polite to treat me as an elder. What else can I do? Go to Brother Shuisheng or the village chief. Well, I won't join in."

After Li Ji said so, he couldn't force it. He still had to find someone else in a hurry. After saying goodbye, he left. Li Ji stood there for a while and then went home.

Er Gouzi was still waiting for Li Ji, seeing Li Ji's expression was not good, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Ji shook his head. It is enough for him to worry about this kind of thing, and it can't affect Er Gouzi: "It's okay, there are people in the village who have nothing to do and fight. Someone told me to go, but I didn't go. There are people from the same village on the left and right, and they can still kill people. Come?"

Er Gouzi didn't think much about it, and nodded understandingly: "There are also fierce beasts fighting for prey on the mountain, which is normal."

Li Ji wanted to reply that people are different from beasts, but he didn't say anything.What's different?Maybe not.

Even ferocious beasts rob prey because they will starve to death without prey, but the village is not yet dying of thirst, and a penny can buy water for several days.How much hatred is it to hit blood for a ladle of water?

"Let's not talk about this, let's kill a few rabbits, chop them into pieces and sell them by the catty. I inquired with the village, and many people want to buy it this way. Let's see if it sells quickly. If it sells quickly, we don't need it. I went to the city to sell rabbits, and the village is fine."

Especially this year with few livestock, it cannot be said that Li Ji made a fortune. He did not raise the price again, and he solved the problem of the villagers eating meat.

Er Gouzi obediently went out, Li Ji gave him the rabbit he had chosen, and squatted in the yard to watch him kill the rabbit.

Killed the rabbit, peeled it, chopped it into small pieces, looked good, put it in the freezer, let out the news to anyone who wants to buy it, and there is a ready-made one.It's cold in winter, so it's not afraid of breaking if it's frozen.

After the news was released, people came to buy one after another. The ten rabbits were sold out and a few were killed. It seems that the sales volume is not bad.

I heard from the person who came to buy rabbit meat that the two people who fought were punished and admitted their mistakes.It wasn't a big deal at all, it was purely because the water was low and I was in a bad mood to find a vent, and it would be fine when the vent came out.

The root of this matter is the problem of water. In the past, when there was no shortage of water, let alone a ladle of water, even a tank of water poured on the ground, no one cared.

There are a few families in the village who are really poor. It is difficult to get out a few pennies. The water bought for a penny in good conditions is enough for half a month, but such poor families can’t drink water for several months. .

After hearing more about the situation in the village, Li Ji felt more panicked in his heart.In fact, this was something he shouldn't have worried about. Although Er Gouzi was the only one capable of solving it, it wasn't his responsibility, let alone Li Ji's.

Moreover, Li Ji is so poor and worried, and it may not be able to solve it. It is better to let an official like the village head figure out a solution. He has rich experience and can ask the situation.

Li Ji was so preoccupied and thought about it for a few days, his mouth was blistered, Er Gouzi became more and more worried and thought Li Ji was ill. At this time, the village chief came to the door and brought good news.

"Busy?" When the village chief came, Li Ji was cooking. When he saw someone, he swept the stove to prevent the fire from coming out, and invited the village chief to come in and let Er Gouzi make tea.

Now I can't even drink boiled water when I go out to visit, and Li Ji's family is the only one in the village who can invite people to drink tea.

The village chief sat on the burning kang, and said enviously: "Your family in our village is living such a prosperous life. No wonder everyone with girls in the village is staring at this place, wishing to come here quickly to enjoy the glory."

Li Ji smiled helplessly: "The way a family lives, what kind of life is it not?"

Li Ji didn't dare to ask about the water, for fear that the village chief came to beg Er Gouzi to go up the mountain.This matter is because he is selfish. He would rather buy water for the villagers than Er Gouzi to take risks in the mountains.

The village chief didn't make it difficult for him, and said directly: "I'm here to give you a reassurance. The drought and the stream cut off, and our village can't drill wells. It is reasonable to say that it is a natural disaster. Report it to the government. Some relief will come down. It’s just that in previous years... You also know that in the past three years, the magistrate’s [-] snowflakes of silver, even if the money allocated from the top can’t reach the people’s hands. But our current county magistrate is an upright official, so I thought, Why don't you just go to the county government office for help. We don't need any money, let's see if the master can help hire someone to bring water over at regular intervals."

Calculated in this way, it is enough to hire someone to make a large bucket full of water every two days, and it is enough to hire someone for two renminbi a month, even if it is feasible to fetch water from the well water in the village.

In this way, people in the village will not die of thirst, and they will not have to move, which is the best of both worlds.

As soon as this idea came out, Li Ji's eyes lit up: "Is this method feasible?"

"Let's try if it's okay. The court should be in charge of this. If the court doesn't care, we still have other ways. There are always other ways. You didn't say anything about Er Gouzi going up the mountain. You didn't say it. I Just pretend you don’t know. I know your difficulties. Whoever’s family is hurt by another family member. There’s no reason to push it into the fire pit. I’m clear about why there’s no water. It’s impossible for a living person to be suffocated to death by urine. "

The village head for so many years is not for nothing, he knows what every household in the village is planning.Although it is difficult sometimes, it is not difficult to solve what happened in the long run.

Hearing this, Li Ji said with enthusiasm in his heart, "You mean I've lost my heart. Look at my mouth. I've gotten angry enough these two days. Don't blame me for being petty at my age. If I go up the mountain, I will I have been helped by the village head since I was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that I was raised by the village head. But Er Gouzi is different. He has never eaten a grain of rice from the village since he was a child. How can we use it? Let others work hard for us, right?"

Li Ji said that when it comes to this, he is really heartbroken.Er Gouzi is not from the village, not even the root of the village, but someone Li Yan picked up outside.From the day she was born, Li Yan was raised by herself by digging a hole in the mountain, and had nothing to do with the villagers at all.

Letting Er Gouzi take risks for the sake of the villagers is emotionally feasible, but logically impossible.

"I understand this." The village head comforted, "You and Er Gouzi are poor children. It was not easy for you when you were young. After all, I have a companion and I can let you be alone again? I told you earlier. It was my incomplete thinking to let Er Gouzi go up, in that sentence, this is a matter for the whole village, not Er Gouzi alone."

Li Ji only told Li Qiaoer about Er Gouzi going up the mountain. Li Qiaoer is not a talkative person. When Li Qiaoer comes over again, just tell her not to talk about it.

The incident of Er Gouzi going up the mountain has never happened, and Quan pretends not to know.

Right now, I can only hope that the county magistrate will be kind, and even if he transfers two qian in a month, the problem of drinking water for the villagers can be solved.

As for things like washing clothes and taking a bath, it's fine to deal with drinking water first.

The two started talking, and Li Jiren was clever, so he rolled his eyes and said again: "But what if the water doesn't come in next year? The farmer in the field will point to the stream to water it, and we can't ask the court to bring water over."

"I'll talk about this later. If you don't die of thirst, it's God's kindness. If not, the next year will still be dry, and the well water will almost dry up, then God won't give you a way to live. It will be the same wherever you move." The village chief said here, enough Yes, smelling the aroma of tea, the village head was also greedy, picked up the tea bowl and drank it one after another.

Li Ji also let him drink, and he didn't feel bad at all after drinking a refill.

Li Ji has a lot of money in his hand, and the luxurious water in the village can afford to drink a bowl of it here, but it is hard to justify the extravagance of his own family when others are tight, so he is also tight with him.

The village chief drank two bowls of tea and left contentedly.

Li Ji's knots in his heart for several days were untied, and the smile on his face seemed relaxed.Er Gouzi could tell Li Ji's state just by looking at Li Ji's expression, Er Gouzi let go of his heart, and still didn't ask why.

Er Gouzi's character of never asking too many questions brought Li Ji a lot of convenience, and it was also very distressing.Because of the different growth environments, Er Gouzi has different ideas and habits.

Sauerkraut stew and fish stew for dinner at night.I bought a lot of fish, and recently I would eat one on average in a day or two. This was the result of Li Ji's intentional control.

Although I know that Er Gouzi never tires of eating meat, Li Ji himself is afraid that if he eats too much, he will get tired of eating it. Li Ji doesn't want to suffer from the rich man's disease of getting tired of eating big fish and meat, so he controls all good things. eat.

After Li Ji's birthday, the New Year is approaching, and it's time to buy new year's goods.This year people in the village are more difficult, even if the conditions of the family are good, they hold on to the copper coins in their hands for fear that the next year will be even more difficult.

So buying New Year's goods is just a meaning.

Li Ji killed twenty rabbits and went to the market in the village. Ten of them were chopped, which can be measured by weight or weight.

Although the situation in other villages is much better than that of Li Ji Village this year, the grain production is also reduced. Once the grain production is reduced, there will be less food that can be used to feed the animals. Even less meat goes into your mouth.

So this year's New Year's goods are much more expensive than last year's meat. In order not to look out of place, Li Ji deliberately increased two cents per catty. Compared with others, this is surprisingly low, so the business is very good. , The loose ones were sold out quickly, and Li Ji instructed Er Gouzi to chop up and buy the remaining whole ones.

The meat was selling fast, and after a while it was all sold out, Li Ji told Er Gouzi that he would come back next year and kill [-] more rabbits to sell. The more copper coins in his pocket, the more he would buy for the New Year.The road from the village to the village has a long time to burn incense. After selling the meat, I still have to rush to buy new year's goods to go home. Even if the little tail has grown a lot now, it can't just rely on this dog to look after the house.

From melon seeds to candied fruit, I bought a lot of snacks and snacks, even more than last year, and there were a lot of firecrackers and couplets. Looking at the firework sticks for sale, Li Ji bought a few playfully. Push the pointed cart back.

It sounded eye-catching last year, but it looks even more eye-catching this year.This year, most of the people in the village are carrying a package of New Year's goods, some of them have shrunken packages, and some only buy a few taels of peanuts.

Last year, some people came to persuade them to buy less, but this year there are no more.I don't know how many envious eyes I received along the way.If you can really make money with Ergouzi, you can save money. If you spend a tael of silver, you can earn more anyway, even if you can’t earn it in the future, you can enjoy it anyway.

The news from the county magistrate finally came down.The honest and honest official is kind, and he is really willing to allocate some money from the county government's silver treasury to deliver water to the village.And it used the waterwheel provided by the county government.

The county magistrate means that there is well water in the government office, and the water truck is not needed, so it is just right to use it for the villagers.

It costs two cents a month to hire someone to deliver water every afternoon. The water truck is quite big, and every household can get a bucket of water.

A full bucket of water, or a bucket a day, not to mention drinking enough water, washing your face sparingly enough, and even wiping your body with a wet towel.

When they went to pick up the water the first day, everyone boasted with joy that the parents and officials in the county were really the parents of the common people, Master Qingtian.This phenomenon can be said to be a very rare thing. The common people praised the officials instead of scolding them, which shows that the real blue sky came.

Li Ji went to pick up the water for a while. Looking at the villagers smiling brightly because of the bucket of water, he couldn't help but feel sour. Now the water is solved, and there is no need to spend copper coins to buy it, but what will we do next year?

Later, Li Ji stopped fetching water. Someone didn't see Li Ji for a few days, and even came to ask what was wrong. Li Ji said that the water bought by the left and right families was enough, and the bucket was not bad, so he distributed it to those people. A family with a lot of people.

There is money and willfulness here, and it is not easy for other people to say anything.At the end of this year, it is time to pay taxes. This year, production has been reduced, and taxes still have to be paid in full. There is no tax cut, and the amount paid in previous years cannot be reduced at all this year.And some people who do small businesses have to pay more.

For example, like Li Ji, the family has made enough money in the account this year.The skins that are dug from the mountains can escape the tax, but the animal tax for the livestock that can be raised cannot escape.

Li Ji first killed all the extra rabbits, chopped them into pieces, and frozen them, whether they were eaten at home or bought, the remaining ones were taxed.There are also pigs, one of which was killed during the banquet before, but it doesn't look big now, and it can be raised further. Li Ji killed two pigs cruelly, and the remaining five pigs also have to pay taxes.

The tax for the three cows is the most, but the cows can save a lot of effort to cultivate the land, so the tax should be higher.

Calculated in this way, the tax will cost several stones of grain. There is not so much in the granary at home, and it will take a few taels to pay for it with silver. Looking at the money in the house, there are more than ten taels left on hand after the tax is paid. That's enough money, but look at the accumulated skins, go to the county to pay taxes and sell all the skins, so I won't be free in the future.

To go to the city to pay taxes, Li Ji went alone, with the villagers on the left and right, and he was not afraid of any accidents on the way back and forth, so he left Er Gouzi at home to watch the house.

If Er Gouzi meant that 1 people were unwilling, but Er Gouzi listened 100% to what Li Ji said, and stood at the door aggrievedly watching Li Ji drive the bullock cart and leave with a large group of people. Zizi finally realized what it was like when Li Jiping was waiting for him.

There is a family in the village who pulls an ox cart with Li Ji. The cart is full of grain and is used to pay taxes. Other families basically use wheelbarrows. Followed by, some felt sorry for their men, and wiped their sweat with coarse handkerchiefs.

As for Li Ji's ox cart, there were only two light and fluffy children. Li Ji let some children who went to the city with him sit on the ox cart, and his ears were full of the sound of children laughing and playing. Although the weather was cold, it was not at all Affect the nature of entering the city.

"Fourth Grandpa." Li Ji's nephew and grandson, Xiao Tudou, smiled close to Li Ji, "How much money does your family have? You can't finish the meat, and you can't finish the snacks."

Little Tudou is twelve years old, and he is still a mischievous bun. His parents worry about him a lot.

Li Ji was only six or seven years older than him, and he was a grandfather, so he would be closer to this nephew and grandson, but it was impossible to put on airs of his grandfather, and Li Ji couldn't do it either.

"I have some snacks and I miss you? Did I give it to you, did you give it to your daughter-in-law?"

Little Tudou was mischievous, his parents were afraid that he would not be able to find a wife in the future, Zhang Baihu in the village sold his eldest daughter Zhang Xue, and his second daughter Zhang Ying did not plan to keep her.

Li Ji doesn't like this kind of thing very much, because the children haven't grown up, how can they know whether they can be compatible with each other?Even if he treats Zhang Ying well, can Zhang Ying really like Little Tudou in his heart when he grows up?

It's not that Li Ji buried his nephew and grandson, no matter how you look at Little Tudou, he is not good enough for Yingzi carved in jade.

"How can I not give it to you, grandpa, you love my wife, and if I don't treat you well, what can you do if you don't give me something delicious." Little Tudou smiled obsequiously, with some mischievousness unique to children.

Li Ji knew in his heart that Little Tudou might not even know the fundamental meaning of the word daughter-in-law.

"If you're obedient, I'll buy you whatever you want, but don't let me hear how naughty you are. If you listen, don't even try to take a candy from me." Li Jiban threatened.

Little Tudou repeatedly assured: "Fourth Grandpa, you still don't know me? I have made big mistakes, not small ones. That means I can correct my mistakes. Hehe, what kid can not make some mistakes?"

I don't know where I heard these words, Li Ji glanced at him, but didn't continue.

The children were curious about the parcels on Li Ji's ox cart, but Li Ji didn't let them open them, and some naughty children touched them.Li Ji asked Little Tudou to watch, and whoever opened the package would not give him snacks for a month.With snacks as a threat, Little Tudou is full of energy, and anyone who reaches out will pat it, and no one dares to reach out after a long time.

The ox carts are not fast, basically walking at the same speed as the villagers, but some people will stop and rest for a while when they are tired from pushing the carts, and the ox carts will run forward after a long time.

Some of them were in front of them with quick legs and feet, one or two of the women who followed were helping their husbands push the cart, and the rest were walking lightly. thing.

No matter how many things there are in the village market, it can't compare with the variety and variety in the county.Some girls' families even pester their parents to sell lipstick paper or something.

Rouge is expensive, and cheaper ones cost one or two dollars, so most people buy rouge paper, and it can last a long time for a few pennies.

A girl got married before, and her husband's family sent a box of rouge. It was all five or six years ago, and now some people are full of envy.

Li Ji glanced at those girls. As a man, he couldn't understand why women like to paint their faces so much.It is useless to control him.

But think about it, Li Qiaoer is Er Gouzi's god-sister, and she gave her a box of rouge when she got married to add face to her.Then there is Zhang Ying, who will give them some rouge and gouache when they get married, which is equivalent to telling outsiders that their old Li family has not treated the child bride-in-law badly.

His thoughts fell on Zhang Ying again, and Li Ji couldn't help but think of Zhang Xue who was sold to the city, and he didn't know what was going on.

I haven't seen Zhang Xue come back this year, and I haven't seen Zhang Baihu's family to visit. The sale is a death contract, life is from the master's family, and death is the master's ghost.

If Zhang Ying hadn't been brought over by Li Jin's family as a child bride, she would probably have been sold as well.

Children are one of the properties of parents. Although they are different from livestock, if parents really don't treat their children as human beings, they are no different from livestock.

In fact, many times Li Ji felt that it was not normal, but others had countless arguments to refute him.The most commonly used sentence is: "It has always been like this, passed down from the ancestors."

Is it just good things that are handed down?

Li Ji hadn't read any books, and he couldn't figure out these things even more. His head was muddled, and it wasn't enough to bother him.

Li Ji was distracted by his thoughts, when a woman's voice came over and woke Li Ji's attention.

"Fourth Uncle pays money when he pays taxes? Then what do you do pulling a bullock cart?" The woman who came to talk was in her early thirties, and she had already seen her old age.

Women who have been farming for a long time can enjoy it better than those who have no reputation.Rich wives from rich families don’t have many wrinkles in their 30s, and women in the village have a lot of gray hair after [-].When she spoke, the daughter-in-law of the Li family didn't have too many wrinkles on her face, and she looked young.

"Isn't it the New Year's Eve? By the way, I'll buy some things and take them home. I won't be in the city until the spring begins." Li Ji held a small whip in his hand and lightly touched the cow's buttocks.

"Didn't you buy a lot of things in the village before? Will you be able to eat after buying so much?"

"If I have a few more mouths alone, I can't eat it, but Er Gouzi can eat it, and I can buy as much as I want without harm."

After Li Ji finished speaking, the smile on the woman's face deepened, and she suddenly said: "Look, I almost forgot. Fourth Uncle, you have been staying at home and not going out, and few people in the village have seen it. It stands to reason that there are some things It should be asked by the elders, or brothers of the same generation to help worry about it. But some things still need fate, so don't worry about my words."

Don't worry about the extra words on my side. This sentence has already made people care a lot when I said it, and I have to listen to it. I feel so narrow-minded if I don't listen to it.

"What's this called? We're all old-fashioned. What kind of bad rules are there?" Li Ji said so, but his back was straight, and his eyes turned away from the woman's face, and he focused on With cow buttocks.

The words are nice, and the attitude already represents everything.

The woman was choked up when she saw Li Ji's appearance, smiled awkwardly, and said bravely: "To say something that juniors shouldn't say, you are eighteen, and there are fathers of the same age in the village. You can be regarded as starting a business now, if you want money and money, you need a house and a house, but you only need a woman to help with housework."

Li Ji raised his eyebrows. In the past, he tried every means to get rid of Er Gouzi by kissing him, but he didn't expect to focus on him today.

"give me?"

The woman nodded and said: "You don't live around the village all the time, and you're an elder in the village. It's a bit troublesome to meet a girl from any family. It's better to find a girl from another village. Your family is in good condition. What kind of girl do you choose?" It's easy to talk about any kind of girl. There is a good girl in my natal family who is so pretty, she can't look down on her after talking about several relatives, as if she wants someone from a good family and good looks. To help you search, think about it, isn't it just for you, Fourth Uncle?"

In fact, people say that kissing is kind.There is even an unwritten saying that it is to give you face if you say kiss to you. If someone looks down on you half-heartedly, who will tell you kiss?

It's just that Li Ji has a wife, but this wife can't tell it openly, and has to hide it tightly.

Since it is impossible, there is no need for Li Ji to leave any possible illusions to others.

"Don't let me ruin this good girl. The money in my family belongs to Er Gouzi, and the house is built by Er Gouzi. On the household registration, Er Gouzi is under my name, but he can't do without me. Or am I inseparable from him? It’s ugly enough for me to eat with him alone, but it’s not good for me to marry a daughter-in-law to eat with him.”

Li Ji's words directly positioned himself as a rice worm who lives on Ergouzi's breath. It's not that he doesn't want to get married, but that he is really poor and can't take a girl to eat Ergouzi together.

The smile on the woman's face froze, Li Ji talked too much.

After thinking for a while, he organized his words and said: "Look at what you said, I have seen self-deprecating people, but how have I ever seen something like yours? The house is indeed paid for by Er Gouzi, but it was built by you. This house Which one is not your concern? You said that Er Gouzi raised you, did you work less or cook less? You are an elder, even if you don’t do anything, you should wait for Er Gouzi to serve you Yes, Er Gouzi can’t keep a penny without you, so I have your share.”

Li Ji smiled and said: "You say that, Yu Qing is reasonable, but I am a reasonable person, which shop do you think pays dividends to the guys? I follow Er Gouzi to eat well and drink spicy food. I should work, always You can’t just say that the cattle are mine just because I’ve helped them for a few days, it’s okay to say that it’s not right. I’m still young, and I have no parents or mothers, so it’s okay to be a few years later.”

Li Ji's whip swept the ox's buttocks, the ox consciously walked faster, and the ox cart moved faster, leaving the woman behind.

Li Ji thought about his age, should this matter be resolved?Er Gouzi is twenty, and without a daughter-in-law, he will definitely become the focus of the village.If a person is incompetent, no one will care if he has no daughter-in-law. Those who have sons in their families should be glad that no one snatched them.But bachelors with good conditions like Er Gouzi and Li Ji couldn't escape being urged to marry by the villagers every day.

Fortunately, these juniors can talk, just a few words to get rid of it, and the brothers and sisters of the same generation can also make a fool of themselves.But in case someone who doesn't have a good eye pokes at the old man of the family and then asks the old man to go back to the mountain to say goodbye, then no matter how much Li Ji has his heart, he can't escape it.

Er Gouzi can use the excuse that Er Gouzi is not from the Li family and has an annoyed temper in the mountains that he can do everything The fool Li Ji couldn't even shake his head.

Seniority overwhelms people, and this old birthday star is especially important.

Li Ji would like to thank the woman who came to kiss her, if it wasn't for her, Li Ji would never have thought of this.

Then the first task right now is to find an honest excuse for not marrying a daughter-in-law. It is best for people to avoid it and dare not introduce it.

Li Ji sorted out his own conditions. He and Er Gouzi are a couple, and everything is shared. Then Li Ji's condition is that he lives in a big house and a rich family with more than a dozen wealth. Yes, it's just a 70-year-old wretched old man with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes who wants to marry a yellow girl and ask for two concubines.

Other families are worried about not being able to marry a wife, but Li Ji doesn't want others to introduce a wife to him.

If this condition is released, there will be piles of people who don't want to marry a wife. Is there any way to prevent them from coming?

I just thought about it all the way and couldn't think of anything. When I entered the county, I happened to encounter a family on the edge of the county. A fight broke out, and I could hear a woman's sharp scolding from a long distance: "How dare you Stop me! If you hadn't recruited such a broom star, you would have made my son sick! This is a disaster! Nothing good will happen if you let him in!"

No matter how cold the winter was, the sound spread far away, and some villagers stretched their necks, wanting to watch the excitement, but it wasn't that their own village's past couldn't be justified, they were all discussing with each other what was going on.

After hearing this sentence, Li Ji's inspiration came suddenly.

Broomstar, why didn't he think of this?Li Ji's eyes lit up, thinking about his own conditions, an orphan who lived alone before meeting Er Gouzi, it is really reasonable to insist that he is a broom star.

Besides, for these two dogs, if they can live on the mountain for 13 years, it must be fate. People with tough characters are not afraid of being overcome, so no one will doubt that if they stay together with Li Ji, nothing will happen.

As long as this rumor spreads, then unless someone who really wants money or life is willing to marry the girl to die, who else will be willing to post it online?

This idea is so perfect that Li Ji wanted to kiss himself to come up with such a good idea.

All that remains is to find a way to make the villagers believe this statement, and let this statement spread from one to another, and it is best for all villages in ten miles and eight villages to know it.

A group of people went straight to the place specially used for tax collection in the yamen, and Li Ji drove the ox cart unhurriedly to look left and right.Anyway, there is no rush to pay taxes, and the long queue for tax payment will not check for a while.

Li Ji drove the bullock cart to the fur shop. The guy in the shop was pouring water out. When he saw someone, his eyes lit up, and he thought that the God of Wealth had come.

"Yo, sir, you are here, please sit in the room, it's so cold outside, why did you come here to take care of our business?"

Invite Li Ji in, Li Ji is quite familiar with the journey, put the package on the table, the waiter served the tea and did not speak while waiting for the waiter to call out the shopkeeper.

"Where did you go to get rich recently? I haven't seen it for a while." The shopkeeper saw Li Ji smiling.

"What kind of money is it? It's good to get by. Recently, there are too many things at home, and I can't get anything interesting. Here, the fur of the rabbits I raise is not bad. I have tanned them for you, and two of them have no stray hairs. If the color is good, I put it alone. This one can be worth more copper plates, and I don’t care about the rest.
