Porridge and side dishes [farming]

"You said it's not easy for us to eat meat. It's hard work just to make pig food." After Li Ji finished speaking, he and Er Gouzi began to clean up the things in the yard that were afraid of rain.

After everything was cleaned up, the wind blew outside, and once the wind came, the rain would not be far away.

"You guys go back first, I don't know when the rain will fall. If it's sunny tomorrow and come back to work, you work for a day, and I'll count your wages for the day. I won't give you the money. If the five taels of silver are found back, I will pay you all that I have recorded here." Li Ji said as he sent them to the door.

"You have helped our family so much, how can I ask for your money again." Shuisheng's daughter-in-law sighed, "My family is in this situation, and you can still help us like this. We have also seen your heart. Feel free to talk about anything, don't mention money or not, from now on we will be like a family, and there is no one family who can talk about different things."

Recently, there are a lot of things going on at Li Shuisheng's house, and Li Jiyi sees it when he reaches out to help Shuisheng's daughter-in-law again and again.If it hadn't been for Li Ji's statement that he was not interested in Li Qiaoer, Shui Sheng's daughter-in-law really wanted Li Ji to be her son-in-law.

Even though they belong to the same family, blood relationship doesn't really matter much. They have different generations, but if they marry, there won't be a big problem.Married with a generation difference.It's not unheard of in the village.

Although Li Ji's fate was not good, it was rumored all over the village.But Shuisheng's daughter-in-law saw that Li Ji was a kind person, no matter how she looked at it, God shouldn't give her such an unlucky fate.

Such a person should be rich and powerful, live a long life, and have a lot of children and grandchildren.

"Then say it's a family, so don't argue with me. Er Gouzi and I still know the difference. Seeing that it's raining, let's not be polite. You guys go back first. If Brother Shuisheng comes back, give it to me anyway." a letter."

After seeing off their mother and daughter, Li Ji closed the doors and windows and listened to the wind outside. Just by listening to the sound, it could be seen that the rain outside would not be light.

"Let's stuff up our dinner first, or it won't be convenient to cook if we don't wait for the rain to fall heavily."

Rainwater will fall into the stove along the chimney, although it will not have much impact, but there will be more smoke, which will easily cause smoke in the house in turn.

Last night and this morning, I ate enough oil and water. Li Ji wanted to eat something lighter, so he fried spinach with garlic. Er Gouzi didn't like meat, so he let him stew the meat and made some dipping sauce. Pickles, that's about it for dinner.

After the meal is ready, warm it up before it gets dark. If you eat early, you will easily wake up hungry in the middle of the night.Li Ji grabbed some peanuts and sat on the kang, peeling them and eating them. After the peanut shells had piled up in a small pile, he heard the sound of rain falling outside.

After thinking about it, Li Ji didn't have much to do outside, and felt at ease, so he ate peanuts with Er Gouzi.

After eating enough peanuts, Li Ji went down to the ground and opened the window. The rain would disappear as soon as the wind blows, so there is no fear of rainwater coming in when the window is opened.Li Ji looked at the waterfall-like water flowing down the eaves, and couldn't tell what it felt like, but smelling the fragrance in the air, he felt clean both physically and mentally.

Li Ji's favorite thing when he was young was to sit on the window sill with bare feet and wash his feet with the dripping rainwater. It's easy to catch a cold.

Li Ji didn't listen to these things when he was naughty when he was a child, and would always sit on the window sill and play when his father wasn't paying attention.

This may be Li Ji's only waywardness when he was a child, and also the only fun.

Li Ji just looked at the water curtain, feeling the heat around him, and Er Gouzi was standing beside him when he turned around.In fact, when it is really hot in the village, there are very few men who will dress properly.When the sun is shining at noon, just watch, the men who go out are basically shirtless.

People in the village are not as particular as those in the city. The little girl might feel shy when she sees them, but those who have been daughters-in-law are not so particular. Some women who can let go can even make a few nasty jokes.

Li Ji was the same when he was a child, even before he was seven years old, he would always run around the streets with his buttocks naked.He refuses to wear clothes even if he is forced to do so.Later, after a beating, I knew that I was ashamed. When it was cool in summer, I just wore fur trousers and tied a piece of cloth.

Now that he is getting older, Li Ji is more and more particular about his appearance, not only the clothes he wears have no patches at all, but also the clothes he wears are straight in hot weather.It's just that it's not too hot to wear a jacket when it's too hot.

Moreover, the two of them were diligent, and it was really enjoyable to take a shower when it was hot, so they just kept paying attention to it. After a long time, they got used to it, and they couldn't bear it if they were sloppy.

Li Ji turned his head and stretched out his hand to take a handful of water: "This year's rain is more than that of previous years, maybe the rain of previous years is put in this year."

"Very good." Er Gouzi said.

In fact, Er Gouzi doesn't like rain.People at the bottom of the mountain like rain because rain can bring harvest, but for Er Gouzi, rain will bring humidity.When he lived on the mountain, he was in a cave.When the weather is humid, snakes, insects, rats and ants will come out, and mosquitoes and flies will also burrow into the cave, which is hard to guard against.

It's a nasty thing I've grown up with since childhood.But seeing how Li Ji liked the rain so much, Er Gouzi didn't mind being more tolerant of the weather.

"You said that people don't have so many calculations. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. But some people can't hold back their hearts and want more for everything."

Neighbors can still earn a lot of blood for three melons and two dates, let alone standing in a high position.

Parents who are raised by the same life have to be divided into high and low, the powerful use their power to suppress others, and the powerful rely on their strength to be domineering.Too many people dream of stepping on the top of other people's heads and looking at the world. Who would have thought that no matter how high you stand, you will not be as high as the sky, and if you stand high, you will be nothing but a handful of loess after death.

Li Ji didn't think that he was right to have such an idea, he was a saint.It's just that Li Ji maintains this heart to live his life, making himself carefree all his life, not competing for fame or gain, and it's good until he grows old.

"Let's live our lives quietly." Er Gouzi thought for a long time before saying this.

Li Ji couldn't look back at this sentence, it was said out of his mind for a while, but Er Gouzi remembered it clearly.

"Then keep quiet first." Li Ji smiled and shook his head, "Let's eat."

It rained all night, and the next morning it cleared up, but the ground was very muddy.Li Ji originally wanted to go to the city to pay back the money, but going now is a bit troublesome.

As a result, I got a letter at night, and Li Shuisheng came back.

It took a lot of effort to report to the official, but fortunately the county magistrate is willing to do the facts, so he really set out to help investigate.

Although I don't know what the result will be, but as long as the county magistrate is willing to investigate, there is hope for this matter.

In the past two days, Li Shuisheng has been tossed badly, not only the busy problem, but also the pressure in his heart is the main reason.It was five taels of silver, and the family lacked income, relying on the ration land alone, could not save any money at all. He did have a few children, but Li Shuisheng was really reluctant to ask them for money.All these years, Li Shuisheng saved their lives and helped them, so how could they be reversed?

But if Li Shui is forced to pay back, when will he pay it back?

Although the IOU said that if you go to Li Ji's house to work for a month, you will be paid two renminbi, and if you work for two years, you will be paid back, but is there really such a good thing?

When Li Shuisheng returned home, he lost weight just looking at him.Shuisheng's daughter-in-law felt sorry for the man and made some delicious food. Li Shuisheng didn't know what to eat, so he couldn't say anything at the dinner table.

For the rest of his life, Li Shuisheng has the final say on the inside and outside of the family.Li Shuisheng is very calculating, he has offended many people in the village, but he has never been bullied by others.

So over time, the family got used to centering on Li Shuisheng, and Li Shuisheng also got used to the days when he was the only one at home.

So when I get old, I become more and more arrogant. I always feel that I am right, and other people's rebuttals are just because other people's eyes are shallow, and it is the fault of others.It was only at this time that he could deeply understand that the one who was really stupid was himself.

At that time, there were so many people who persuaded him, but if he stopped and listened to a few more words, it would not be the result now.

The more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for Li Qiaoer and even the whole family.Once this matter comes out, I am afraid that the whole family will not be able to hold their heads up for a long time.

Because in the village, there are very few people who really feel sorry for you when you are cheated. Most of them teach you why you are so unsuspecting and give others a chance to take advantage of you.

It's like the girl was underestimated, Deng Tuzi was scolded at most, and the more permanent thing was to blame the girl for not wearing so little clothes, so that Deng Tuzi had an idea.

But no matter how much Li Shuisheng regretted it, this happened.

When Li Shuisheng came home, the sons who had left home first came to visit with their wives and children, and the girls who got married the next day also came to visit.I was afraid that something would happen to Li Shuisheng if he got angry. Li Shuisheng was considered old in the village.

So the children will bring something when they come, and then say a few more words of comfort. The left and right families are always together, and any difficulties can be overcome.

Li Shuisheng shied away and said no, and the five sons and daughters could make up two taels of silver.

Li Shuisheng watched the two taels of silver for a whole night, but it was Li Qiaoer who persuaded him to return the silver to Li Ji first, and then think about it later.Left and right get along well with Li Ji, he is not in a hurry, let's take it easy.

Li Qiaoer communicated with Li Ji in advance, and Li Ji would not really deceive Li Shuisheng for the five taels of silver.Li Ji was able to buy Li Qiaoer's future with five taels of silver because Li Qiaoer was Er Gouzi's god-sister and he was optimistic about it. It didn't hurt to spend the money, but a poor family like Li Shuisheng definitely couldn't afford five taels loss of silver.

So Li Shuisheng is slowly paying back, and Li Ji always has a way to get the money back into Li Shuisheng's pocket.

Li Shuisheng was confused. He was wondering whether to keep the money or return the money first.Because I spent a lot of savings in this lawsuit, and I have to live on in the rest of my life. Even if the family didn't spend a single copper coin in the first year, we still have to save some for preparations, so as to avoid illness or disaster. .

Li Qiaoer is already so big, and her reputation has almost been tossed. If she wants to get married in the future and not be wronged, she must have enough dowry.

Everything inside and outside here is for money.It's no wonder that Li Shuisheng thinks too much about this money, and finally has some money in his hand.

When Li Ji heard Xin'er, he found time to go over and have a look. At this time, Li Shuisheng just sent a batch of them to comfort him.

If those who came to comfort were sincere, they would either bring something over, or simply send some copper coins to help them, and those who came to say comfort words with empty paws were purely watching the excitement, and they were just to exchange comfort words for Li Words of aquatic remorse, thus gaining some kind of satisfaction.

How could Li Shuisheng recognize people as jokes?He said behind his back that Li Shuisheng had nothing to do with it, so he pretended he hadn't heard it. Li Shuisheng could dismiss the person who came face to face with a few words.

Li Shuisheng sent people out, and when he saw Li Ji approaching, his heart skipped a beat, a little complicated, and finally heaved a sigh, walked over and called Xiao Ji first.

"I heard that you were called into the county government office two days ago? Neither I nor the village chief have seen you. I made such a mess in a moment of confusion, and I have to implicate you." Li Shuisheng looked a lot older, The speech is also less sharp, and the person has no energy.

"I just went over to say a few words at night. The county magistrate is very busy. He asked me a few words and let me come back. This is the blessing of the Bodhisattva. With such a reliable county magistrate, don't be too upset. With the county magistrate here, he will definitely be able to get the money back." Li Ji comforted him a few words, seeing Li Shuisheng like this, it would be hard for him to have any wrong thoughts in the future.

Li Shuisheng only thought it was Li Jijian's nice words, but he didn't have too much hope in his heart.

With a forced smile, Li Ji was welcomed in.

Li Shuisheng didn't have any tea at home, so he made some leaf tea last year, so he brewed some for Li Ji.

As I said earlier, poor people can’t afford tea, so they pick it up in spring when the leaves are just sprouting, and fry them dry on a low fire. When you want to change the taste of the water, you can pinch some and put it in the water, just like tea leaves. The taste is completely different, but also has a unique flavor.

Many families in the village are like this.

The water is warm, and there are many people in the house, and the hot water is continuously boiled.This hot water is left over from today, and I haven't had time to burn it again.

There is too much hot water to be boiled, and if there are too many fires in the house, it will be hot inside the house, that is, not long after it rains outside, the wet ground is still cool, otherwise there is really no way to treat people in this house.

"I'm just here to take a look. It's fine if you're fine." Sitting on the kang, Li Ji felt that the kang was too hot, so he simply stood up and found a stool to sit down, "You are the brother who has seen me growing up since childhood, It's my family again, so don't be too polite about anything. You don't have to get angry about the money. Go to my place to help when you have nothing to do. I will count the days. After a long time, you don't have to pay back the money. What I care about is Qiaoer, the niece. Er Gouzi is just such a younger sister, I am so concerned."

As soon as Li Qiaoer's marriage was mentioned, Li Shuisheng became angry. It was not a problem for Li Qiaoer to get married a few months back, and even said that the relatives were almost over the threshold.It's just that because of the large number of people at that time, Li Shuisheng's vision was raised, and no one looked down on him and refused one by one.

After being rejected, it is impossible for others to ask for it again, it is all shameful.This time, I told Li Qiaoer about the marriage and encountered a liar, which made a big joke. It will be really hard to find her husband's family after this.

"I've been worrying about this for the past two days. I can make money again after five liang of silver is gone, but Qiao'er said that it's difficult for her husband's family to choose one, but she really can't bear to marry someone who is not decent."

Li Shuisheng insisted on marrying Li Qiaoer to a widower to fill in the house because Li Qiaoer had a bad reputation at the time and could easily hurt his brothers and sisters.From a point of view, it is Li Qiaoer who owes the family money.So Li Shuisheng forced Li Qiaoer to marry such a man against her wishes, and he didn't feel any guilt in his heart.

Today is different.Li Qiaoer was implicated by Li Shuisheng, so Li Shuisheng felt ashamed in his heart, and if he was asked to decide to let Li Qiaoer go out at will, he would not refuse.

The difference of cause and effect creates the difference of state of mind, and the change of human heart is often like this.

"Then listen to Qiaoer's own words. It is for outsiders that the girl's family can't participate in the marriage event. Close the door and say that it's not your own family. Listen? Who made a joke? Let me say that Qiaoer stays at home. It doesn't matter if your family is in pain, but you can't get over it mentally, and you have to say that it's not good for a girl to not get married and have children, and I can't see a bad one, and it's not enough to reduce your life if you meet a bad one."

After Li Ji said this, seeing that Li Shuisheng was about to speak, he hurriedly said: "I mean, I know you don't agree. If you want to look for it, then find a reliable one. Don't be afraid to choose slowly. There are many people who are right or left. Now that you're so old, you don't have to worry about delaying it for another year or two, as you're getting older, it's good to stay for two more years to serve you."

What Li Ji said was to the point, and it was useful to listen to it in his heart.

"You're right." Li Shuisheng nodded.

Li Ji took a sip of the leaf tea. The smell of the leaves was a bit bitter. It was completely different from tea leaves. It wasn't a dislike, but it wasn't a favorite either.

"I have nothing else to do here, one is to ask you how things are going, and the other is to tell you, don't rush to pay back the money, and I'm not in a hurry to use it, the important thing now is to catch the liars on the government side , and the second is that the family should not be scattered. You should also buy some delicious food to raise. Originally, brother, you are old. Let her go to work with me when she has nothing to do, and gossip in the village can't find her."

Li Ji's words are undoubtedly a timely help.The money owed was a pimple in Li Shuisheng's heart. Li Ji gave him a reassurance, which instantly made half of the big stone in Li Shuisheng's heart drop.The remaining half is the five taels of silver that was cheated away.

Now Li Shuisheng is not famous no matter what, and now as long as he stops talking about famine (debts), he will burn incense to live in peace.

"I've lived my whole life, so I'll hand over to you, my brother, who knows the cold and the hot. Regardless of your young age, you are the one who loves me the most. My family is like this. If you can think about it all at once, come and talk about it." Said, I feel very good in my heart, thanks to you remembering." Li Shuisheng's eyes became hot, and the more emotional he became at this time.

"Would you shed two cat cubs (tears) for me again? It's just a few words. In fact, isn't it pretty good for you? It's better than I have no father or mother, and I have survived for two years by myself No one is missing in the family, so it’s nothing to worry about.” Li Ji knew that this was his plan, and now seeing Li Shuisheng’s temper has improved a lot, as long as he keeps going, Li Ji doesn’t want to be like this. Calculate relatives.

People's hearts are fleshy, and when Li Ji taught him a lesson, he himself was not happy.

Li Ji spoke heartfelt words to their family, and Li Shuisheng and his wife were deeply moved, that is, their seniority was put there, otherwise they would really treat Li Ji as their own son.

Li Ji took advantage of all the favors, said goodbye and went home. The sky was still cloudy, but the clouds were not thick, and it didn't look like it would rain.

If it doesn't rain tomorrow, Li Ji will go to the city to pay back the money.Five taels of silver from the owner of the fur shop, and five taels of silver from the magistrate of the county. This is ten taels of silver.But nothing was lost.Those given to the magistrate will be returned.

Going home, Er Gouzi is killing rabbits. This year, he deliberately breeds more. In just two or three months, there are more than ten litters of rabbits, and there are seven or eight female rabbits with cubs. When they are raised in autumn, at least It can be more than three or four hundred. This time, if I go to the city again, I really need to find a restaurant.

Squatting next to Er Gouzi, watching Er Gouzi skin the rabbit.In the past year, Er Gouzi has been peeling a lot, and the technique can be said to be perfect. The peeled skin is not damaged at all, and it is intact.

"Er Gouzi." Li Ji propped his chin and said softly.

"Huh?" Er Gouzi continued to work without raising his head.

"I have to go to the city tomorrow. If it rains, I might not come back at night. Can you stay at home all day?" Li Ji discussed.

Er Gouzi paused, waited for a while before reluctantly nodding his head.

The reluctance was all too obvious.

Thinking about the previous two performances, Li Ji really couldn't believe that Er Gouzi reluctantly agreed.

Stretching out his hand to touch Er Gouzi's head, Li Jirou said: "I just went to pay back the money, and I will be back soon. This house is our home, as long as there is one person, this is our home. No matter how far we go, our hearts It's all here. When you are at home, I will always want to go home anytime, anywhere. Just like when you go hunting in the mountains, you will always think of me at home."

Er Gouzi nodded, did not speak, and continued with the work in hand.

Saying these words to enlighten, it seems that it is still useless, and Li Ji doesn't know what to say.

Er Gouzi's special dependence on Li Ji, the two have been together for such a long time, and it has not changed.In fact, Li Ji enjoys this very much, and Li Ji also relies on Er Gouzi.

The two depend on each other and cling to each other, just like newlyweds who love each other, which is really human.It's just that life is going on, and the family's wealth is getting richer, so they can't leave people.People's hearts are always uncertain, if there are liars, there will be thieves, no matter what is lost, it is enough to feel distressed.

So it is unavoidable that one person goes out to do errands and one person stays at home to watch the house.

Both of them have to get used to it.
