Porridge and side dishes [farming]

All fingerprints were pressed, and two copies were kept separately.Only then did Li Ji take out the silver that had been prepared for several days.

A total of five small silver ingots, one tael each, five in total.

"It's five taels of silver, so don't worry about me shorting you for anything. The money was cast in the bank, and each one is the same size." After returning the silver to Li Shuisheng, Li Shuisheng stared straight at the eyes.

If people really grit their teeth and save a lifetime of silver, five taels of silver can be seen.The key point is that Li Shuisheng has several sons, and when he gets married, he needs to build a house and make preparations. He used up all the money saved by the family. Now there is not much left in the family. It's for Qiaoer's dowry.But if you go to the house to be a grandma, no amount of money is too much, and the family has little money, so you can't get a decent gift money.

Li Shuisheng carefully picked up the silver coins one by one and touched them one by one.To be honest, even if a living person is really sold, it may not be worth the money. The money is enough to start a small business in the city.If it wasn't for the young master, in exchange for Li Qiaoer marrying into the house, Li Shuisheng would really be reluctant.

After a lot of reluctance, he handed over the money to the young master.

"An Sheng, I take you as my own son. You may not think anything of it, like us poor people, you may not see so much money in your life. You can spend this money, and it would be better to admit your mistake when you go back. If you really want to marry Qiaoer, don't force the head of your family to admit him, find a chance to take Qiaoer over and let your parents take a closer look. Although we are ordinary people, Qiaoer is obedient and filial, not like those With a delicate temper, she will definitely be a comfortable daughter-in-law."

After saying that, he let go of the hand that was holding on to Yin Zi.The young master nodded heavily: "Don't worry, they always love me. This time when I go back, I will get someone to pick up Miss Qiaoer as soon as possible. Just wait for my good news."

Li Ji took away the IOU, and listened to the two of them, Weng and his son-in-law, without interrupting.

Five taels of silver is not a small amount, and after Li Shuisheng gave the silver, he kept nagging, which almost bored the young master.In the end, the young master was sent out. The young master didn't delay and was about to leave after taking the money.

Li Shuisheng felt sorry for the young master Jiao who had to walk back, and wanted to ask Li Ji to take him to the city in a bullock cart.Li Ji, on the grounds that there were too many things to do at home, packed the ox cart and lent it to Li Shuisheng, and asked Li Shuisheng to send him away by himself.

Li Shuisheng sent the young master Wang Ansheng out of the village to the county, and then hired a car from the county to the Wang family in the neighboring county. When the young master returned, everything would be fine.

Wang Ansheng is the eldest son and grandson of the Wang family. Although he didn't tell his parents that running away from home was treasonous, but he went back well, at most he beat and scolded him a few times. When he turned around, his own child hurt him, so he was not afraid of anything.

We just waited for Wang Ansheng to get forgiveness from the family, and then find an excuse to take Li Qiaoer back, so that they can see how sensible and virtuous Li Qiaoer is.It is said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person means that girls from rich families will inevitably be squeamish, those with poor family education will be willful and reckless, and those from common people who are honest, dutiful, filial and virtuous will be able to bear children.From this point of view, Li Qiaoer still has some advantages.

Thinking of this, Li Shuisheng felt better. After returning home, he would no longer force Li Qiaoer to imitate those fireworks.Left and right have already fascinated Wang Ansheng, what Wang Ansheng seems to like is Li Qiaoer's uniqueness, so what Li Qiaoer needs to learn later is how to please her in-laws.

Without a background, the only ones who can be honored at the gate of the house are the husband, the old parents-in-law.As long as he grasps the old man's heart, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the mansion from now on.

Li Qiaoer finally got rid of that shameful romantic style, and now she has to learn how to be virtuous.Li Shuisheng doesn't know what kind of virtuous people like rich people, in short, what kind of woman he wants most in his heart, and what he thinks women should do, so he teaches Li Qiaoer.

Then Li Qiaoer felt that it would be better to learn from the fireworks before.

Of course, Li Ji would not deliberately inquire about Li Shuisheng's affairs at this time, because the matter was basically done, and the rest was just waiting for Li Shuisheng to recognize everything clearly, and then he would be completely safe.

When the matter is over, Li Shuisheng should give up completely.It's just that I don't know what kind of marriage Li Shuisheng can arrange for Li Qiaoer after giving up, I hope it can be more reliable.

Er Gouzi is going up the mountain again.Li Ji prepared dry food and water for him one day in advance, and sent Er Gouzi up the mountain in the morning. Little Tail wanted to follow, but was stopped by Li Ji.The little tail is quite big and fierce enough, but it is not worth mentioning to the beasts in the mountains.

Hunters often train hounds to help find prey, which is not necessary for Er Gouzi.He has absolute survival experience in the mountains, where is the prey, and what kind of prey is easier to get, he knows better than anyone else.

In a few days it will be time to shovel the ground.So far this year, the weather has been smooth and the crops in the fields are gratifying. As long as it keeps going, the harvest this year may be even more than the normal harvest in previous years.

As long as there is enough food, people can't go hungry, and they can sell the excess food to save copper coins.

The land is the root of farmers. As long as there is food growing in the land, life will not be miserable.

Li Ji went into the yard and pulled out the newly grown weeds.Both Li Ji and Er Gouzi are hardworking. They cleaned up a lot in the field. Looking around, there were no weeds at all. Without the nutrition of weeds to snatch the seedlings, the seedlings grew very big.The freshly sprinkled onion seeds grow a row of onions, and the onions are at their best when they are white enough to be as thick as a finger.

The scallion leaves can be pickled and eaten, and the scallion white is the most crispy and sweet when dipped in sauce.The scallion pants between the scallion leaves and the scallion white is the best place to make scallion noodles.The scallions here are the best.Fry chopped scallions with oil and pour in soy sauce. If you like sweet taste, you can add some sugar. After the color is boiled, pour it on the cooked noodles and mix well. This is the simplest method and the most suitable for rice.

Sometimes Li Ji and Er Gouzi are too lazy to cook, so they make such a pot, and eat it with the minced meat that has been fried and sealed before to satisfy their hunger and hunger. It is best to eat during busy farming seasons.

Li Ji pulled out a green onion, picked it up, put it in his mouth, and took a bite. The green onion was white and sweet, with a faint fragrance of green onion.Children from poor families don’t have any decent snacks. This tender green onion is not too spicy and has a taste. It is the easiest snack for children to get. It is available on the side of the road. If you are greedy, you can pull one out, and some careful children have one Onions last a long time.

After a long time, there are still some weird ways to eat, tear a green onion leaf into several strips, and eat them one by one, which can be eaten and played at the same time.

The snacks next to it, there is a sour wild vegetable on the mountain, the children call it sour, and there is a sour weed growing by the river, called sour wood pulp.The stick rice in the field is sweet when it is not ripe. Every year, a few naughty children will secretly go to the field to steal the stick rice to satisfy their greed.

In autumn, there will be some wild fruits in the mountains, but most of them are sour and less sweet. Even if they are sour, they still have a good taste, which is enough for children to collect them to comfort their gluttons.

After eating the scallion white and scallion leaves, the place where the scallion pants are spicy, Li Ji didn't bother to dip in the sauce to relieve the spicyness, so he threw it into the pigsty and fed it to the pigs.

Li Ji still felt unsatisfied with the taste of green onions, so he went into the house and grabbed a handful of sour plums, sitting in the shade of the tree in front of the door, eating slowly to pass the time.

This tree was specially left when the house was built. It is a poplar tree that grows very straight. Li Ji stayed to block the sun. , is an added bonus.

Li Ji had two sour plums left in his handful. When he was about to finish eating, he heard the little tail barking twice. Li Ji stood up and looked out. Not less angry.

Wang Ansheng had been gone for seven days, and there was no news, not even a messenger was sent. The longer Li Shuisheng waited, the more impatient he became.

Thinking back and forth in the village, Li Ji's people are the most peaceful. They never look like those who have or don't, and they never spread nonsense and gossip.

So with the intention of seeking comfort, Li Shuisheng came to find Li Ji, hoping that Li Ji could help analyze it and give him a reassurance by the way.

"Brother Shuisheng? Why did you think about it?" Li Ji stuffed the remaining two in his mouth.

Li Shuisheng felt jealous when he saw Li Ji's leisurely appearance, he could only say that Li Ji was lucky, he didn't have to worry about anything, and a lot of money was delivered to his door.

"I don't know what to do, so I came here to chat with you. I can trust you in this village. You don't spread nonsense or believe rumors." Li Shuisheng said as he walked in.

"You call me a saint." Li Ji welcomed him into the room with a smile, and served some snacks. The boiling water was not boiled, so there was no rush to serve tea if he was not an outsider.

Normally, Li Shuisheng would eat at least half of the dim sum, but today he didn't even look at it, which shows that he was really seduced by his thoughts.

"Originally, I didn't want to trouble you with this matter, but who asked us to make friends? Brother, I can tell you what I have in mind." Li Shuisheng took out a piece of paper from his arms, spread it out and handed it to Li Ji, "This is the marriage letter that An Sheng's child wrote to me, as well as the fingerprints of both of us. He is a businessman and he pays attention to what he says. The marriage letter is also here. Even if he doesn't recognize it, we can sue him in the government." He came down. But he hasn’t returned any news for seven days, and it’s just far away, and he’s in a neighboring county, so I’m still muttering in my heart.”

Li Ji took a look at it, and said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I thought it was the IOU. Don't tell me, it really looks like it."

When Li Ji said this, Li Shui laughed angrily: "You can remind me in a different way, can I still not pay what I really owe you?"

"No way, you will still be short of the five taels of silver in the future, but it's just a casual talk. Since you have a marriage certificate, then you don't have to think about it. If you can write a marriage certificate, you will be moved by Qiaoer." True love. As the saying goes, what you can’t get is the best, and the person he hasn’t got Qiaoer is the time when he’s most interested, so how could he break his promise so easily?” Li Ji comforted.

"I feel better when you say that. You are right. Although my Qiaoer is not a fairy, she is also a beauty. He also said that he likes her special. Since she is special, no one can compare to her." Yes, before he fell in love with other girls, my Qiaoer was his sweetheart, but..." Li Shuisheng paused, "At least bring a letter back, so it won't make me so uneasy."

"Maybe he didn't think about this at all." Li Ji continued to comfort him, "Don't forget, he is a child, and he is also a child of a rich family. Everything has been arranged. What's the matter? Can you be thoughtful? It's understandable that he didn't expect to hand back a letter at all."

Li Shuisheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.Li Ji was not a few years older than Wang Ansheng, and his thoughts were closer, so Li Shuisheng believed half of what Li Ji said.

"In the end, you are smart, so I figured it out. Think about it, people say you are the young master, even if we meet someone who doesn't care about things in our village, he can't figure this out, that's good for an old man like me." Just thinking about it, young people don’t think about it.”

"Then don't think about it. To put it bluntly, even if he is ungrateful and regrets it when he gets home, you still have this marriage certificate. When the time comes, take it to the Yamen to sue, and worry about your rich son-in-law running away." Li Ji said.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Li Shuisheng nodded repeatedly, thought for a while and said, "To be honest, suing is the last resort. If you really sue, you will offend others. At most, they will hire someone back with a bride price, and not only will they lose contact with this side, but it will also be bad for Qiaoer. This is what I don't want to see."

Which father-in-law is willing to sue his son-in-law?They were forced to do nothing.

Li Ji nodded: "Then it's good to bring the marriage certificate to the door. Send it to his parents to see. Businessmen value credibility, so how can you deny it?"

Li Shuisheng nodded again and again, his thoughts changed, and he had new worries: "You said that I really came to the door with this marriage certificate, what should they do if they take it and tear it up?"

"Probably not." Li Ji thought about it and came up with an idea, "Then you can find someone who can read and make a copy for you. Later, take the copied copy and say that the real marriage certificate is in the It’s well kept at home, and I’m just waiting for the Young Master’s Geng Tie to be exchanged.”

"Great idea! How can you tell me that your brain is working, why didn't I think of it. I'll find someone to help me write another copy." Li Shuisheng stood up and was about to leave.

"Who are you looking for? Could it be that scholar in the village?" Li Ji asked casually.

"That scholar is exhausted, and I'm afraid his ink will stain my marriage letter. Although our village head can't read a few words, we are better than ordinary people. It shouldn't be difficult to copy a copy. I'll go Go to the village chief." After speaking, Li Shuisheng left to go to the village chief's house.

As soon as Li Shuisheng left, Li Ji grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them, the smile on his lips became more successful.

Li Shuisheng hurried to the village head, where he told the truth straight to the point.

"Village Chief, I have something to trouble you today. This is the marriage letter I wrote with Wang Ansheng again. I want to save a spare copy. Please make a copy for me."

This is not a big deal, and there is no shortage of pens and paper at home.The village head welcomed Li Shuisheng into the house, put away the table and felt, put away the paper and dipped the pen, and waited for Li Shuisheng to bring him the marriage certificate.

Li Shuisheng took out the marriage certificate and spread it out to him: "This is the reassurance in my heart. With it, Qiao'er will be safe when she marries into the house. In our poor mountain valley, which girl can marry her?" It is a great honor to serve a big man, let alone be a grandma for a big family."

The village chief had heard about Li Qiaoer's recent affairs and nodded, "So I would like to congratulate you on finding a good son-in-law. With such a marriage, you don't have to worry about it in the future. Even Qiao'er's older brothers and sisters can also be touched."

Li Shuisheng felt comfortable listening to these words, and nodded in response.

The village chief took the marriage letter and was about to put it away when he saw the words clearly.

"Did you take it by mistake?" the village head asked.

Li Shuisheng didn't understand, so: "How is it possible? There are two pieces of paper in my house, one is an IOU with Xiao Ji, and I borrowed five taels of silver from him to give An Sheng the child to buy gifts and go home to admit his mistake, and the rest is An Sheng Give me the marriage certificate."

The village head hurriedly asked, "What's the full name of your future son-in-law?"

Li Shuisheng said truthfully: "Wang Ansheng! He is the eldest son and grandson of the Wang family in Lin County, and the future helm of the Wang family."

The village head frowned even deeper: "This... we are all from the same village, so I can't lie to you. Let's be honest. You... are not a marriage certificate at all, but a receipt! It says that you owe Wang Ansheng five taels of silver. , return it in ten days! It's not a marriage certificate at all!"

Li Shuisheng's head buzzed!

"It's impossible!" Li Shuisheng's voice cracked.

The village chief also understood him, and he wanted to climb Gaozhi and marry his daughter to a rich family, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

"If you don't believe me, there is still a scholar in our village, or go to the city to see the teacher. I don't have to lie to you. Shuisheng, are you...have you been deceived?" Although this is a bit cruel , but after speaking out, he can still persuade Li Shuisheng to report to the official.

"Impossible! Impossible! I instigated him to write this marriage letter when he was drunk and out of his mind. How could he still be trying to deceive people after he was drunk like that? Maybe I took it wrong. Xiao Ji's!" Li Shuisheng muttered to himself.

His eyes were bloodshot almost instantly, and his mind was buzzing.Talking with a vibrato, he looked like he was going crazy.

The village head couldn't bear it, but he still said: "You and Wang Ansheng are the ones with the above names. Don't say I am cruel, Shuisheng, take this and find two witnesses to go to the county to report to the county officials. People are grabbing!"

"Reporting to the official is useless! He is the grandson of the royal family, who dares to judge him! And there is my handprint on it in black and white. Doesn't this mean that I owe him money? Maybe when the time comes, I will go to court. I have to pay him back the money!"

Li Shuisheng was about to cry.Although there was a guess of being cheated in the past two days, he still collapsed the moment it was confirmed.

"Why are you so confused!" the village head said, "Think about it carefully, if it's really the Wang family, who has a big business, can send you a mere five taels of silver? You don't even need to drag your family to give it to you." You acted like this? Obviously you met a liar! It’s still a large group of liars, organized and premeditated to cheat money!"

After listening to the village chief's analysis, Li Shuisheng finally regained some sanity.

"That's right! How could the Wang family be short of these five taels of silver? But... But it's been seven days. If I really leave, I might even go out of the province! Where can I go to chase him back!"

"That's a way after all! Sue the official, at least there is some hope! You hurry up and collect some money, you need money to sue the official."

Li Shuisheng's face was pale again: "Where do I have any money! I still borrowed the money from Xiao Ji! I don't know how to pay it back!"

"A little bit counts! Sue the officials earlier, at least you can have more hope, so don't worry about it!" The village chief was anxious for him.

Li Shuisheng's calf was weak, and he almost fell when he came out of the village chief's house.

Just coming out of Li Ji's place, his face was still full of spring, but now his complexion is pale, as if he has aged more than ten years suddenly.

He was full of joy and thought that God opened his eyes and gave him a wealthy son-in-law, but he didn't expect that it was a knife that fell from the sky that was cutting his flesh!

On the way back, Li Shuisheng was thinking about all kinds of Wang Ansheng he met.In fact, it is not without flaws. For example, how could Wang Ansheng suddenly appear in this village? It is obvious that the caravan should be from various places, but he lives in this poor village in a grandiose way, and allows the villagers to watch him casually like a monkey. look.

Although Li Qiaoer is pretty, but it is impossible to say that there is a flower in the village, there are more beautiful than Li Qiaoer, not to mention Wang Ansheng is in the world of flowers in the city, what kind of beauties have you never seen?How is it possible that Li Qiaoer can be seen at a glance in the crowd, and a few words can make a decision for life

Thinking about it this way, Li Shuisheng wanted to slap himself even more!When Wang Ansheng came back to ask for money, he should have known that he was a liar!If he was a young master, how could he be short of money?Even if he didn't bring any money when he went out, any pendant on his body would definitely cost more than five taels of silver. How could he be so short of money that he borrowed money from a poor man like him?

Usually he is so thorough in calculating people, why is he so confused in this matter!

The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. When he got home, Li Shuisheng saw his daughter-in-law watching Li Qiaoer practice walking and talking.

Ever since the "marriage letter" with Wang Ansheng was issued, this marriage is a certainty.Shuisheng's daughter-in-law can't stop it, all she can do is to teach Li Qiaoer with Li Shuisheng, maybe this way, Li Qiaoer will be looked up to after she enters her husband's house, so that she won't be regarded as a person.

Li Qiaoer was still conflicted in every possible way, she had fallen in love with Wang Ansheng, because he was really handsome, but with his identity, he was really not a trustworthy person.

"Father." Li Qiaoer lowered her head slightly, with a Xiaojiabiyu temperament.

Li Shuisheng felt extremely sad when he saw this now.Going back half a year, Li Qiaoer was still a girl who didn't care about worldly affairs.Free and easy personality, many ideas, often taught by the husband and wife to be dishonest and unsteady, and will not be able to find a good husband in the future.

Looking back now, how comfortable is Li Qiaoer like that?That's what it really should be like.

The author has something to say: Well, in the next chapter, Weng and his son-in-law will meet
