Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Of course, this county can't sell anything. In the poor mountains and valleys, there are not a few pieces sold throughout the year. There are few rich and noble families, and the poor have the heart to buy such a thing. They want to pass it on from generation to generation. , Most of them still collect the skins and send them to the top to sell.

However, although there are many mountains here, there are very few people who really dare to go up the mountain, probably because there are not many prey on the side of the mountain, and there are many ferocious beasts in the deep mountains and old forests.

I heard that in the early years there were many people hunting on the mountain, but more and more people died when they went up the mountain. After a long time, they became timid, and no one dared to go in again.If things go on like this, guarding such a golden mountain, no one can eat it.

Now that you come across something you can eat, you will naturally offer it up as a treasure.

"So let's hurry up, I'm still waiting for some free time to buy some other things."

They immediately began to liquidate the leather, and then wrapped up the silver and presented it to Li Ji.In the past two years, I have seen a lot of these shiny silver things, and Li Ji is not so rare at the beginning. Only those who spend money around are called silver, and those who don’t spend money will be called lumps on the day they die.

Li Ji collected the silver, was surrounded by the shopkeeper and his assistants and sent it out, got on the bullock cart and left with a whip. After walking out, Li Ji turned around and came back. When I went back to the house, I saw people and thought it was because I suddenly felt that the money was missing and came back.

"What else can I do?" the shopkeeper asked.

Li Ji chuckled: "It's nothing serious, just ask if there is a fortune teller nearby."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief: "You go west, there is a family with a flag and a picture of the Eight Diagrams, that is the famous magic fortune teller here, sir, is this a marriage?"

The shopkeeper saw that Li Ji was not very old, so the marriage was about the same.

Li Ji chuckled: "Almost."

He drove the cow happily along the path pointed by the shopkeeper.After walking for a while, he saw that Li Ji didn't know the characters, but he knew the Eight Diagrams. He got out of the carriage and entered the house with money in his pocket.

At this time, there were very few business visits. The fortune teller was still in the room reading the books used for fortune-telling and was checking something. When he heard the voice, he raised his eyes and looked up and down. It was a pity.

At first glance, he was a rich master, with clean clothes without patches, bulging pockets, and the sound of money could be heard when walking.However, this Li Ji's face does not seem to be anxious, but a happy event is imminent, such a person can't get much money if he is caught.

"Young master, what are you trying to figure out?" The fortune teller didn't even stand up.

Sitting opposite the fortune teller, Li Ji took out the two coins that he put in his cuff.

"I'm doing a small favor to ask my husband for help, just to ask him to go out and talk about it."

If you can get two cents for simply going out and talking about it, then the business is really good.

"The young master has something to say." The fortune teller was not in a hurry to get the money.Good business delivered to your door may not be really good. After so many years of counting people's lives, no matter whether it is true or not, some things should be seen very clearly.

"To tell you the truth, I am an orphan, and my eldest nephew and I lived a good life, but the village chiefs look down on the young man for not marrying a wife, and take good care of me, and often introduce girls to me. I am withdrawn, I live a good life with my nephew, I have nothing to do, so I came here to ask the Taoist priest to give an explanation, so that others believe that I cannot get married within a few years, and it is best not to have a family in this life. You, in this life, no one will come to your door and say kissing is the best."

... The fortune teller stared blankly at Li Ji.

This is not meeting a fool.

Others came to him because of infamy, so Yinzi begged for help to rectify his name. This person didn't want a good reputation, and he insisted on being a broom star just so he wouldn't marry a daughter-in-law.

The fortune teller felt ignorant and ignorant, but he couldn't figure out why.

"Think about it, reputation is bad if it is broken, and it will be difficult to take it back later."

"Is it possible that I don't know this?" Li Ji said helplessly, "But I'm so playful that I don't have the intention of marrying a wife. Now they just come to the door to say goodbye, and if some elder pressures me to force one, I will feel uncomfortable. I also wronged a good girl. Everyone has his own ambitions and can't force this sentence. Anyone can say a few words, but I don't remember anything when I say "I'm for your own good". But if there are other ways, I won't make fun of my reputation no?"

"Tsk." The fortune teller understood everything before and after, and thought that Li Ji seemed to be an orphan, otherwise he couldn't be so lonely and insist on not marrying a wife.Such a young man, a fortune-teller, comes here every year to seek marriage, enough to form a small village. Who grows up normally, who is not in a hurry to marry a wife and have children?

"Master, if you insist on this, then I will use people's money to eliminate disasters, and I will do what you say." The fortune teller put the money into his sleeve, and it was considered to be an agreement.

Li Ji nodded with a smile: "I don't understand what you're doing, don't say it too much, as long as you hold your life and have no wife, I beg this sentence, and I will have something to say when someone else kisses me in the future. After a while Just pretend to pass by by chance, and just walk while talking."

The two of them had a conversation and settled everything, and Li Ji happily left the fortune teller's house to pay his taxes.

The old man in the line waited for more than an hour before approaching the end of the line.

Li Ji looked at the time, and the queue would be there in another stick of incense. After queuing for such a long time, it would be a lie to say that he was not irritable.

Li Ji looked at the sun in the sky and calculated the time, the fortune teller was about to come.

Li Ji waited impatiently, but something happened on the tax payment side.

The people queuing up here are not all from Li Ji's village, but also people from other villages. Li Ji doesn't know the person who made a fuss in front of him. He can see the blushing face of that person from a long distance, and he doesn't know whether he is drunk or angry. The tax collectors quarreled.

It was too far away, Li Ji couldn't hear clearly, and the people in front who could hear clearly passed on the matter one by one.

The people in front heard it clearly, and immediately told the people behind, and soon Li Ji listened to it.

The man said that the measuring utensils given by the government were inaccurate. He obviously paid a tax of 3 shi, and the measurement with the objects of the government was less than a bucket, and he asked them to give an explanation.

Waiting for a row of people to know, there was another burst of noisy discussions.

"As soon as this person saw it, he ate it from the wine. Which official yamen's tax measuring device is upright and accurate? Who didn't prepare an extra bag or two, and regarded it as a filial piety to the official. I don't understand this rule. "

"I don't blame him for being angry. How much food can we collect all year round? Originally, the family is struggling to eat. Why should we honor them as dogs for the county magistrate?"

"Shh! Let's talk about it behind closed doors. How dare you talk nonsense outside? They really heard it. It's not enough for you to sue."

Li Ji Diandian's silver bag for paying taxes, actually there is an extra penny in it.There is a saying that the king of Hades is better than the devil.The measuring instruments inside the yamen's gate may not be accurate, but they are standard when they are turned over to the state treasury.

But it was tacit understanding that the extra ones in the middle went into whose pockets.What the county lord is greedy is to show filial piety to the county lord, and if the county lord is not greedy, other lords will reach out.Even if the gentlemen don't stretch out their hands, these officers and soldiers who come here to collect taxes will be divided without anyone noticing.

When sending it around, the people added more, and asked the people themselves, and they said it was just right. In this way, the containers that are not allowed at the gate of the yamen are also accurate. Whoever is not sure, it is an intention to evade taxes.

Soon, I saw that the troublemaker was pushed to the ground and punched, and then dragged aside. The relatives of that person begged for mercy again and again, and finally went around.

None of the people present were convinced, so what if they were not convinced?If the people don't fight with the officials, if they rush to fight with others, they will stretch their faces to beat others and take their own humiliation.

Li Ji watched the man being beaten repeatedly begging for mercy, and felt pity in his heart, but if he wanted to help, he was powerless.

In the final analysis, ordinary people, what can we fight for?

At this time, I saw someone's voice coming from not far away, and I turned my head to see that the sedan chair carried by four people was coming, and the officers and soldiers guarding here shouted, "Master magistrate has arrived."

When everyone heard it clearly, they immediately fell to their knees.Who among ordinary people has the opportunity to meet officials?Especially those who came from remote places like Li Ji, they may not know what kind of face a nobleman looks like, or where the gate of the yamen opens.

The sedan chair stopped nearby, and the first sounds from Zhixian when he got off the sedan chair were all laughing.

"I heard the sound from a long way away. It's really lively. Tell me, but what's the good thing?"

Li Ji raised his head secretly, stretched his neck so that he couldn't see what he looked like, and his voice was vague.It's a pity in my heart, after all, I don't have the good fortune to take a look at the appearance of the official.

Hearing the people around him get up, Li Ji got up after him, taking advantage of the distance, he boldly looked over there.

In fact, you can't see anything, and it's good to have a dry addiction.

After a while, I saw a family member next to the county magistrate walking away, and two officers and soldiers pressed down on the "troublemaker" commoner. Waiting for the judge of the county magistrate like a quail.

After waiting for a while, I saw the servant came back again, holding a bucket in his hand, and said a few words to the county magistrate.

Then the two officers and soldiers brought by the county magistrate came over and took the buckets and began to measure the taxes and grains that the man brought over, one bucket after the other, and Li Ji could see it from such a long distance, exactly thirty buckets, That is three stones.

Seeing what the county magistrate said again, the officers and soldiers who collected the tax immediately knelt down.

Two people were taken away, and the rest were kept. I don't know what the county magistrate said. Those people bowed their knees and looked nervous and scared.

Although he didn't know what happened, he also knew that the county magistrate took care of them. Li Ji, who had seen enough excitement, was so happy that he couldn't help giving the parent official a thumbs up.

It took a while to hear what happened over there.

"Just now the county magistrate first said that he would punish the troublemakers. After all, there is no room for nonsense during taxation, and then he heard the person say that the measurement is not accurate. The county magistrate promised eighty boards to let the servants go to the county. The grain and oil store takes buckets to measure, if it is really short, the [-]th board who caused trouble will be hit, and if it is just right, the board will be hit on the tax collectors and soldiers."

Li Ji heard that he applauded the magistrate from the bottom of his heart. If he came, he would do the same thing. On the surface, he was helping his own people and trying to prove his innocence. In fact, he was making it impossible for them to deny it.

Li Ji touched the tax-paying silver bag and picked out the extra pieces of silver.

The county magistrate is gone, and the tax collection is still going on, this time they don't dare to steal and play tricks.I don't know if the problematic measuring tools will be replaced when the tax is paid next time. At least for now, there is no need to pay more. This time, the extra food can be brought back, and the family can eat one or two more meals.

There were less than ten people left in front of Li Ji, and at this time the fortune teller whom Li Ji was looking forward to was finally late.

Seeing Li Ji from a distance, the two of them looked at each other knowingly, then the fortune teller came over slowly, chanting something like Zhouyi words, normal people would hear them differently, they only thought it was mysterious and mysterious, Just listening to it has already convinced me three points.

There were two people who were tempted. They either finished paying their taxes, or they didn't have time to spare, so they asked a few questions. The little one has money.

I didn't expect that it would be so easy to earn rewards when paying taxes. The fortune teller felt a little grateful to Li Ji.

After walking all the way to Li Ji's place, the two pretended not to know each other. The fortune teller looked at Li Ji's face, and couldn't help but take a step back, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Li Ji didn't expect this person to have such good acting skills, so he smiled embarrassedly: "What's wrong?"

"Sorry, I'm so rude." The fortune teller first apologized, and then he pondered for a while before he opened his mouth, "I'm dissatisfied with you, my son, your face is a rare blessing, and you were born with the fate of great wealth and wealth. only……"

I am most afraid of hearing this but, especially when all the good things have been said before.Even if it was the words that were said in advance, Li Ji couldn't help but jump in his heart.

I admire the fortune teller's handling of people's hearts in my heart, and I act with him on the surface.

"But what?"

"My son's fate is too good, and the more yang energy is better than the fate, the better. On the contrary, if you come into contact with yin energy, you will break this rare confidence, and this blessing will turn into evil spirit, and the blessing of your heir will be poor. A wealthy man lives his life, but he is also doomed to have no wife or children around him all his life, so strange, this is the first time the old Taoist has seen such a strange face after watching his whole life."

With disbelief on Li Ji's face, he reached out and grabbed the fortune teller's cuff: "What did you say? Can you explain clearly?"

The fortune teller continued: "In other words, my son, you are destined to control your wife and children, and once you marry a woman, you will lose all your blessings and become evil spirits that kill your wife. So it is destined to be a lonely life. It is best to follow the horoscope Staying with men with strong yang energy will greatly bless your luck, son."

Li Ji was taken aback, and said in astonishment: "I have been living with my nephew for the past two years, so my family has gotten better."

This is tantamount to telling the other person that he believes this.

"Then you can't go wrong. You have encountered masculinity, so the blessings come. Keep it to keep the son's talisman Changan. Don't get involved in the matter of marriage, otherwise the blessings accumulated in the past will be exhausted, and it will be a disaster for the wife. "

This time it was Li Ji's turn to take a step back, finishing the show with a flustered face.

The people around were booing in astonishment, with envy, pity and gloating.

A person not far behind Li Ji hurriedly asked, "Then there is no solution?"

The fortune-teller pondered for a while and shook his head: "The cultivation base of the poor Taoist is superficial, and there is no solution. Besides, destiny cannot be forced. If God can leave a half and a half room, we can turn the situation around a little bit, but your destiny has not been reversed." There is room for you. God has the virtue of good life to let you meet me before you marry a wife, if it is later, I am afraid that innocent lives will be delayed."

If the fortune-teller wants to crack something, it can be said that he is talking nonsense and deceiving people for money, but the fortune-teller said so much, he didn't even ask for tea money, he turned around and left cleanly after talking.

Li Ji took two steps forward without turning his head, deliberately preventing the crowd behind him from seeing his expression.At this moment, he couldn't hide his suppressed smile on his face.

The two coins are really not a loss at all, this fortune teller is really good at talking, after such a series of words, if any family dares to introduce a partner to Li Ji in the future, it will intentionally kill someone.Then you can no longer use the banner of being a good person.

Li Ji brewed his emotions for a while, and when he looked back, he already had a dejected expression on his face.There was a villager nearby, so he tried to persuade Li Ji to be more open, so that he and Er Gouzi would be rich in the future. If they had no children, they could adopt one from their brothers. has a problem.

After listening to all kinds of comfort, Li Ji sighed and said don't delay everyone's tax payment. Others are still praising Li Ji. At this time, he can still think of others and persuade others not to delay their business.

After a while, it was time for Li Ji to pay the tax. Although Li Ji drove an ox cart, there was nothing on it. The officers and soldiers who collected the tax were still surprised. Li Ji handed over the silver bag and said with a smile: "Village The boss has already done a good deal, and the animals in the family have been counted clearly, and each animal is taxed individually, which is not a lot of money, sir, can you order?"

Hearing this, there is no oil and water. The tax collectors opened the money bags and looked at the reflective silver naked, feeling sorry for them, but the officers and soldiers who were greedy for taxes and grains had just been punished, and now they dare not go against the current.

He could only look at it with greed, recorded it in the record, and sent Li Ji away.

After Li Ji paid the tax, he told the villagers to let them go ahead, and he went to do some shopping.

He drove the ox cart to the street by himself, walked into various shops with ease, and picked out delicious food to buy. Seeing that it was Chinese New Year, it would be nice to buy two new clothes.

In the village, poor people may wear a piece of clothing for two or three years. If it is damaged or damaged, they can be patched. If the patch can’t be fixed, they can be tied with a rope to make do with it. Li Ji’s family can’t find any patched clothes now. Clothes, in this case, you can still buy new clothes once a year, not to mention the only one in the village, even the whole town.

The wealthy households in the county can do it.

Li Ji remembered Er Gouzi's size. When he entered the tailor shop and looked at the clothes hanging on the wall, he could tell whether he could wear them.

I bought a cotton coat and a autumn coat for myself and Er Gouzi.The autumn clothes can be worn in spring and autumn, so save yourself and buy them again after spring.

The clothing store just arrived with a new batch of duck down vests, which are not thick to the touch, but very soft, and look quite warm. Li Ji bought two of them. They are too thick to move when working in the yard. The vests The arm can be exposed, which not only keeps warm but also facilitates work, and the effect is excellent.

I bought a whole cartload of things, and didn't ask the villagers to wait to go back. I went directly to the familiar grain and oil store, bought some grain, bags from the grain and oil store, and a donkey cart. Li Ji still drove his own cart, The two cars drive home together, with someone to accompany them, so they are not afraid that the things on the car will be too eye-catching and people will miss them.

Both the ox cart and the donkey cart were fast, and within a short time they overtook the villagers on the way. At this time, the villagers chatted enthusiastically in small groups, and the atmosphere was more cheerful than when they came here.

One is because this year's taxes were not overpaid, and every household saved at least one bucket of grain.Two also has elements of Li Ji in it.

Although they are all neighbors in the village, and Li Ji is an elder in the village, seeing how Li Ji's life is getting better and better, it would be a lie to say that he is not jealous.

But after hearing what the fortune teller said today, Li Ji's current enjoyment is what he deserves, but in the same way, he is destined to cut off his children and grandchildren and be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

In such an environment where family succession is greater than the sky, I don't know how many people are willing to go bankrupt and have a son to continue their heirs.So in their eyes, Li Ji's enjoyment is not really enjoyment, at least if they choose to enjoy it for a lifetime, on the other hand, they will choose the latter.

So what about a lifetime of wealth?He is a person who has lost all children and grandchildren, and he doesn't know what it will be like when he gets old. The enjoyment now is just God's compensation, which is more important than getting a wife and having children.

Seeing Li Ji catching up, they all stopped to say hello.Surrounded by pity eyes, Li Ji couldn't laugh or cry.But this is better.The more sympathetic they are, the less likely Li Ji will be jealous when he lives a happy life in the future.

In their eyes, Jinshan Yinshan has no precious sons and grandchildren, so even if Li Ji is rich and powerful in the future, they will not have any hatred for Li Ji.Because in their opinion, the candy Li Ji ate was bitter.

From now on, Li Ji will stare at the reputation of restraining his wife and son, not to mention that no one will introduce women to him, even if Li Ji himself has a crush on any girl, anyone who has a long heart will cover his own girl to death. Don't let Li Ji see it.

This is exactly what Li Ji wanted.

"Fourth Uncle, don't think about it too much. As the old saying goes, this child is either paying off the debt or asking for the debt. No matter which one it is, he will inevitably worry about it. You are at ease alone, and Er Gouzi is filial , this biological child is not bad." Someone came over and said comfortingly.

Li Ji was about to complete the drama, his heart burst into laughter, and he still sighed with regret on his face: "The destiny is fixed and cannot be forced, but fortunately my eldest brother has many descendants, so our family line will not be broken. In this way, I feel more at ease, Er Gouzi has no idea of ​​marrying a wife and having children now, so we are more at ease when we get together."

Li Ji's words were actually sincere, but when others listened to them, they forced smiles, and there were more voices of consolation, and occasionally some people could be seen gleefully turning their backs to snigger, and for a while, everyone was peaceful.

Walking all the way back, I saw Er Gouzi waiting for him from a distance.Seeing him, Er Gouzi ran over quickly and called out to Li Ji for his fourth uncle.

The little tails that followed were also barking happily, one person and one dog rushed up, carrying similar surprises.

This sense of sight is so wonderful that Li Ji couldn't help being as soft as his eyes, and he was afraid of mixing these two things together.

"Come and get in the car, let's go home." Li Ji gave Er Gouzi a place to sit with him. Xiaowei is a dog who likes to run, and he can't stop running around the car for a few minutes with him. In the circle, the scalper pulling the cart was annoyed, and hummed twice with half aggrieved.

Li Ji looked at Er Gouzi and Xiaowei, and his originally good mood became even more joyful at this moment. He glanced at Er Gouzi, and his smile was starry in his eyes. Such a big burden has been put down, and basically nothing will happen in the future. It can make him feel bad.

There are too many people here so I can’t say anything else. I drove the ox cart to say goodbye to others, and went home all the way. I unloaded all the things on the cart and sent away the guy from the grain and oil store. When the two of them went back to the house to sort out the things they bought today, Without warning, Li Ji pulled Er Gouzi for a kiss.

Li Ji didn't take the initiative many times, at least compared to Er Gouzi, the number of times Li Ji took the initiative can be said to be pitifully small.It is because the number of times of taking the initiative is so small that it seems that this sudden initiative is so precious.

When Er Gouzi saw Li Ji smiling, he also laughed. His smile had no other purpose, but was simply happy because of Li Ji's happiness.

"You know, no one will come to my door to propose a kiss to me again! I'm not afraid that the old man will come out to find me a wife again. This year, I have given in to my brain, why did I come up with such a good idea?"

"You have a wife." Er Gouzi stretched out his arms to hug Li Ji, and said emphatically.

"Yes, I have a wife, you are my wife, and I am your wife." Li Ji did not hide his feelings at all, "I have cut off all my backs, and we will live a good life in the future, and no one can join in. "

"No one can join in." Er Gouzi repeated, looking at Li Ji, finally couldn't help it, and lowered his head to bite Li Ji's lips.

As the intimacy between the two deepened, Er Gouzi tasted all kinds of delicacies, and the most delicious ones were these two soft slices.Touching each other, entangled with each other, with an indescribable comfort.

On weekdays, Li Ji would definitely push him away, even if no one saw him in broad daylight.

That night, I cooked another table of good dishes. Today Li Ji bought two small jars of good wine from the grain and oil store. It is said that they are the latest flower wine. There are only a few jars in total, and they were shipped from far away. It was a bit more expensive, just within the price Li Ji could afford.

Open the lid and the aroma of the wine can float far away.Li Ji is a glutton for wine, so he bought two small altars to taste with Er Gouzi.

Er Gouzi is not good at drinking, but he loves Li Ji when he is drunk.Li Ji, who is drunk, can do many things that he can never do when he is sober.

Er Gouzi's bad intentions in this life are probably all placed on Li Ji.

I made spicy fried rabbit meat, collected some spinach grown on the windowsill and fried a plate of vegetarian dishes, and cut some shredded pork and fried it with diced kimchi.Then stew a small pot of boiled white meat, and the four dishes are served on the table with a full color and fragrance.

That is to say, the dinner meal can be made rich and meticulous. The four dishes are all favorite dishes of the two of them. The chopsticks are not stopped when the dishes are served, and the wine is not drunk.

Li Ji sniffed the aroma of the wine and looked at Er Gouzi who was gnawing on the rabbit's head, and suddenly said something.

"Let's get married."

Er Gouzi gnawed half of the rabbit's head, didn't realize it, and raised his head, with the rabbit meat still in his mouth, he asked, "Aren't we already married?"

Er Gouzi's definition of marriage is not very clear. In his impression, eating and sleeping together hehehe means getting married.

In theory, Er Gouzi's idea is correct.

"We've been living together, but we haven't paid homage to heaven and earth, we haven't met our parents, we haven't been married, and we don't know each other. I always feel that something is missing. Why don't we make preparations tomorrow? Let's get married."

Er Gouzi would not shake his head at anything about Li Ji, no matter whether he understood or not: "Let's get married."

Li Ji also poured wine for Er Gouzi: "Then let's have a cup of wine."

Li Ji raised the wine bowl first, Er Gouzi didn't understand, but just followed Li Ji's movements.When he was young, Li Ji went to the bridal chamber with the adults, knew what it meant to drink a glass of wine, and taught Er Gouzi how to put his arms. Then he hooked Er Gouzi's arm with his own arm to signal Er Gouzi.

Today Li Ji bought the fortune teller with money, saying that he would never get married in his life, of course he was just joking.

No, Li Ji is married.

There is also the red paper used to cut things and patterns when building a house before.Li Ji took the scissors to the red paper and began to study how to pick up Double Happiness.

Generally, Double Happiness is cut by the old woman and all the family members before marriage. The matter of Li Ji and Er Gouzi cannot be known to outsiders, so he can only figure it out by himself.

At first, I only used a small piece of red paper to try. Li Ji didn’t know him. He had only seen Double Happiness a few times, so he could only cut it based on his feeling. After cutting five or six mistakes in a row, he finally got something decent. .

Then I took Er Gouzi to study together, and cut out a few more double happiness.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are fewer people visiting, especially adults.Li Ji boldly pasted a few on the wall, and sat in the room and looked up after the pasting, it really looks like something.

There is no high hall for the two of them, so tomorrow they will go to the grave to burn incense and kowtow.

Li Ji pulled Er Gouzi and stood in the room, looked out the window, pulled Er Gouzi to kneel down and kowtowed.

There are no rules of worshiping heaven and earth twice here.Marriage is very simple. Knock your head on the ground, recognize each other's parents, and stay together for the rest of your life. It is simple but difficult.

After being together for a long time, the two finally had a decent ceremony to formally represent their togetherness. After kowtowing, Li Ji went to see Er Gouzi.Er Gouzi looked at him with a smile, with a little confusion in his eyes.

Er Gouzi didn't understand the meaning of Li Ji's sudden skipping of meals, cutting the scarlet letter and kowtowing on his knees, and he didn't even know why the two of them had such a weird ceremony when they were together.

Er Gouzi only knew that he would do whatever Li Ji asked him to do.Whatever Li Ji wants, he will achieve.His life is very simple.In the days to come, Li Ji alone is enough.

"In the future, don't call me Fourth Uncle when there is no one else. Call me Li Ji, or Xiao Ji. But when there are outsiders, you must call me Fourth Uncle. Don't let others doubt you. You may not have a concept, but if you let them know When the two of us get married, we will be regarded as monsters and will reject us. Do you understand?"

In fact, it is not uncommon to like male sex. There was a trend of favoring men in wealthy families. It is just that the two are of special seniority. Both are Er Gouzi's fourth uncle.

Masculinity plus uncle and nephew, this kind of relationship is enough to make the world intolerable, even cast aside.

Er Gouzi nodded, he didn't need to think too much, because Li Ji had already thought through his share.

This is absolute trust.It only belongs to the trust between Ergouzi and Li Ji.

After tossing around, Li Ji finally had enough trouble, and took Er Gouzi back to continue eating.With such a simple ceremony, Li Ji finally felt that his name was justified.

After three rounds of wine, five tastes of food, the stamina of flower brew is very strong. After eating, Li Ji has no intention of going to the ground to pick up the bowl. Er Gouzi picks up the food without complaint, spreads out the mattress and hugs Li Ji to cover it Under the quilt, he took off his clothes and turned on the light to get into the bed. As soon as he entered the bed, Li Ji crawled over by himself.

That's why Er Gouzi especially likes Li Ji when he's drunk, which is totally different from him who is usually reserved.

The consequences of embracing him are unavoidable. After a hot kiss, Li Ji's voice was soft and soft. If Er Gouzi's hearing was not good, he might not be able to hear clearly.

"From the day my father died, I actually gave up the idea of ​​marrying a wife. I was poor at that time, how could there be a girl who promised me. I don't value women as wives, let alone whether they will be old when they are old. There are children and grandchildren under Chenghuan's knees. Those are too far away for me. Er Gouzi, what I care about now is only you. Only you."

Er Gouzi understands these words, and understands every word.Because of this, Er Gouzi's happiness overflowing from the depths of his heart burned Er Gouzi with extreme joy, making him gradually fascinated in the middle of the night.

The next morning, Li Ji woke up with a sore waist, and Er Gouzi next to him was still sleeping when he opened his eyes.Er Gouzi felt Li Ji's movement, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes to look at Li Ji.

"Four... Xiao Ji."

"Ah."

"I went to cook."

"Calm down."

Li Ji turned over to sleep and returned to the cage, and let Er Gouzi cook and deal with the livestock outside with peace of mind.

It's not Li Ji's fault, it's Er Gouzi's lack of restraint, he made an encore after enjoying himself, and it was a tossing night.

But it really deserves their bridal chamber wedding night, after all, a spring night is worth a thousand gold.Although they have already had a lot of spring nights, this is not important.

Li Ji squinted for a while but became sober. He opened his eyes and looked at Double Happiness stuck on the wall. He turned over and buried his head in the pillow. The corners of his lips almost reached the back of his ears, and he just smiled silently and happily.

After laughing enough, Li Ji looked back and thought about it again. If he really had regrets, why did he forget to light the candles?

Although there is no particular emphasis on lighting dragon and phoenix candles overnight, the meaning of ordinary candles is quite good.

Li Ji lay on the kang for a whole morning, and all his meals were settled on the kang.At noon, when I had enough rest, I didn't have any other problems when I sat up, except that my waist was a little sore.

I went to the field to do all the work in the Westinghouse. It was almost Chinese New Year recently, and Li Qiaoer didn't come here. Now it's a completely two-person world.

When I was feeding the rabbits, I found that there was another litter of little ones in the house. Fortunately, they were born this year. If only a few days earlier, these little guys would have to pay taxes.

Li Ji and the female rabbit looked at each other for a while, then turned to Er Gouzi and said, "Let's separate the male and female rabbits into cages, and only keep one or two cubs, and the rest will be discussed next year."

Rabbits cannot completely stop breeding, because there is a certain amount of consumption in the village, and the villagers will buy some, but if there are too many, there will be nothing to feed at home.

Just do what you say, the two of them worked hard for a long time to divide the rabbits, and they were tossing like chickens and dogs, and they divided the cages and watched them eat grass.

If the rabbits could talk, they would have scolded their mothers long ago.

"There are few eggs today." Er Gouzi handed the basket of eggs to Li Ji to see.

Li Ji glanced at it: "It's a little less, it's really cold these two days."

After all the work was done, Li Ji took Er Gouzi to buy paper money and incense, and bought two catties of wine for sacrifices.First went to the grave of Li Ji's parents, burned paper and incense, and kowtowed with Er Gouzi.

Facing the grave of his parents, Li Ji's heart is complicated. His mother has no impression on him, and his father has never given him a stalwart figure. As long as he can remember, his father has been sick, and occasionally he is in better shape. He will take Li Ji out for a stroll, and Li Ji will take care of him the rest of the time.

Even so, father is also Li Ji's closest relative, who has brought him one of the few warmths in the past 18 years.

Now that there are Er Gouzi, Li Ji wants to say that if the father and mother know each other, they can rest in peace.

But Li Ji knew in his heart that if his parents could really hear what he said, they would probably be able to crawl out of the underworld and beat him to death as an unfilial son.

But what can I do?Li Ji just likes Er Gouzi and wants to live with him.

Li Ji didn't say a word all the time, and when the paper was almost burnt out and there were only sporadic flames left, he suddenly said with some pleading: "Father, mother, please protect us."

As an unfilial son, he actually really wanted to get his parents' permission to bless him and the person he likes to grow old together.

The two kowtowed, and went to Li Yan's grave with valuable wine and incense.

Li Yan is still a lonely grave, looking a little lonely.
