ao Tai moved the winnowing basket aside, afraid that her granddaughter would grab the beans and stuff them in her mouth.Zhao Yuru carefully counted the contents in the winnowing basket, peanuts, red b...The old woman occasionally came to have a look. The three children lay in a row, with Brother Li in the middle, his hands outstretched, protecting his younger brother on one side and his younger sister on the other. 。This made her unable to help but secretly wipe away tears, whispering to her daughter-in-law, "They are all good children, the seeds of our old Li family." 。Jia Yin woke up and found it was already dusk. 。Brother Li and Brother Mao were sitting on the side rubbing their eyes, having just woken up. 。 Li Lao Si led his family, including Jia An and Jia Xi, into the room. He picked up his daughter, gave her a kiss, then rubbed the heads of Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er, smiling as he introduced them. 。"Brother Li, Brother Mao, this is your brother's home. " 。They are a little older than you, and will take you to play later. 。Everyone in the family has a job to do, and we also have to take care of your father. I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of all of you. 。"So, are you hungry and thirsty What do you want to play Just tell your brother, okay"Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er quickly nodded their heads, and even called out Jia'an Jiaxi Ge'er, making Jia'an Jiaxi so happy he jumped around like a little monkey. 。“We have a little brother now, we have a little brother!” Li Lao Si slapped them both, and laughed, “Knowing you have a younger brother, why aren’t you more honest Be a good example for your younger brother Take him to take a bath first, dinner will be ready soon.” 。"Okay, I'll go right away!" Jia An and Jia Xi readily agreed, bending down to pick up their younger brother's shoes. They didn't even have him walk; they each carried one on their back and went out. 。The hot springs in the mountains are accessible to all the houses in the village. Li's family even built a stone pool in their spare room, keeping it filled with hot water at all times. 。It's very convenient to take a bath and do laundry on a daily basis. 。 Meow Ge'er and Li Ge'er leaned on their brother's back and entered the ear room, where they were attracted by a pool of steaming water. 。Jiā'ān jiāxǐ sān liǎng xià tuō guāng, jiù tiào xià le chí zi, ránhòu hāo huó dìdì men 。"Come take a bath, it's so hot, wash up quickly and then we'll eat!" 。“I saw that my mother was stewing red-braised pork!”
The cat, having been soaked in the hot spring, had it on his mind ever since. He immediately took off his clothes and jumped in.
It's just that Brother Li is a bit shy, but seeing his older and younger brothers playing, he couldn't help himself and joined in. 。 Li Laotai brought clean clothes to her grandsons. Hearing them laughing and playing inside, she almost flipped the roof off with excitement, and a smile appeared on her face... Jia Yin remembered Ye Gongzi, so while her brothers were taking a bath, she ran over to keep him company. The two of them shared a fruit, and when their father called them for dinner, she sat on her father's shoulders, and the two of them accompanied Ye Gongzi slowly as they walked... 。Young Master Ye's back wound had scabbed over, but he still couldn't move too much, slightly hunching his back as he strolled, seemingly at ease. 。Li Zhensheng took medicine and slept for most of the day. Compared to daytime, his complexion had improved a lot. 。Being together with my family right now, surrounded by my mother, brother, nieces and nephews, fills my heart with joy. It's such a heartwarming feeling that I feel full just being here. 。The village head and Uncle Zhao and the others probably wanted to give the Li family a chance to speak up for themselves, so they didn't come to eat. 。Just said that Old Three's family will be back tomorrow, let's get together then. 。So, at this point in the meal, only Master Ye was considered an outsider. 。But everyone in the family knew that he was going to adopt Jia Yin as his adopted daughter, so in reality, she was also part of the family. 。Jia Yi showered the two new brothers with love, constantly putting dishes onto their plates. 。Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er had eaten until their bellies were round, but they hadn't finished. In the end, Li Lao Si took their leftover rice bowls and ate them clean in a few bites. 。Lǐgē'er and Māo gē'er blushed, knowing that their leftover rice bowls had not even been picked up by their parents. 。Li Lao touched their heads and smiled, "Don't overthink it. In the past, our family lived a hard life and wasn't used to wasting food. From now on, eat as much as you want." 。Today, I'm punishing your third uncle. He has to take you guys out to play, okay”
"Okay, thank you grandma" 。Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er nodded in response, then were pulled away by Jia Yi one by one. 。Jia Yin joined in the fun, shouting, "Brother, me too! I want to go!"Jia An and Jia Xi quickly finished their meals, clasped hands, and improvised a sedan chair. They carried their sister after them. 。Jia Yin held onto her brothers' necks with one hand and kicked her legs, acting as a charging general, shouting loudly, "Charge! Charge!"Six children, big and small, went out the door just like that! Everyone inside was laughing, especially Li Zhen Sheng, whose eyes turned red. He quickly lowered his head to drink porridge and swallowed his tears. 。This was a moment of happiness he had dreamed countless times. He couldn't cry, he should smile, and keep smiling!Li Laoer peeled a boiled egg for his older brother and asked, "Big Brother, while the ripples of this matter haven't passed yet, I'll go to the yamen tomorrow to change your household registration and that of your nephews..." 。"Is there anything else you need to tell me"
Li Zhensheng thought for a moment, "Brother Li and Brother Mao have changed their family names, right Brother Li is now called Jia Li, and Brother Mao is now called Jia Kang. They'll be on our family register, so they won't be delayed from studying or taking the imperial examinations." 。Besides, I've replaced most of the Wang family's properties with others. Only their courtyard in the south of the city remains. 。Useful things, I've already moved them out. 。You find someone to help me sell this yard, I don't want to see it anymore. 。"Okay, big brother, rest assured, this is not a big deal, I'll take care of it in half a day." 。"Li Laoer nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will invite Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui, as well as Master Liu, to come over for a meal on my way." 。This time, they were a great help. Our family isn't ready yet, but we should at least set up a banquet to show our gratitude. 。"Don't worry, second brother. I'll take care of these small matters." 。"Li Zhensheng also bowed, “Let my younger siblings rest.”
"What kind of heresy is that, Big Brother We're family, it's only right." 。Tao Hongying smiled readily, "Tomorrow, my third sister-in-law and Jiahuan will be back. The three of us working together is the most efficient. Don't even talk about two tables of banquets, we can handle ten tables without any worries!" Li Laotai thought for a moment, then said, "Since everyone at home is reunited, and the villagers have been eagerly looking forward to it as well, why not buy a pig and a sheep tomorrow, and have a good feast." 。The boss is home, we are happy. 。Second, Young Master Ye wants to take Fu Niu as his adopted daughter, which would also give the whole village and Mr. Wen a chance to witness it. 。"Well, mother, we should make a big fuss about this occasion. Let's have a grand celebration!" 。Both Li Laoer and Li Laosi were happy that their mother had this interest, only hoping she wouldn't be immersed in hatred and sadness. 。So, they almost immediately agreed. 。Li Zhensheng also said, “I’ll provide the funds, second and fourth brother just need to put in the effort.” 。But Old Li waved her hand, “Just focus on getting well. You don't need to worry about these things.” 。"We're not short of money at home!" Li Zhensheng still wanted to argue, but when he saw his second younger brother giving him a look, he gave up. 。After dinner, night had fallen, and everyone dispersed to rest. 。Lao Li was worried that her two grandsons might be scared, so she took them to live with her in the east wing. 。 Originally, Little Fortune slept with her grandmother. Now, all three children were lying down together, filling half the kang bed. This made the old woman overjoyed no matter how she looked at it. 。The next morning, news spread throughout the village that the Li family was having a feast. Besides those who had business with the mountain valley, everyone else would take a break for the day to celebrate and enjoy themselves. It was also a way to reward their hard work during the previous autumn harvest. 。This is a happy occasion, every household has come to Li's house to lend a hand. 。Those who buy pigs and sheep, those who slaughter pigs and sheep, those who draw water and chop wood, those who boil water to remove hair, those who pick vegetables and wash vegetables, are all busy as can be. 。Li Zhensheng heard the commotion, walked out of the house, and wanted to lend a hand. 。But Old Li couldn't bear to part with him, so she moved a chair out and let him sit under the eaves in the sun, saying it was to keep an eye on the child. 。 you possibly help me out"Li Laosi was very polite. The soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and slipped a piece of silver into the hands of each of the two officers.Two guards held the sil...
