A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 155 But do good things, don't ask about the future

"Aunt Eight and Auntie are back!!"

Li Yuan, the son of the Fifth Brother’s family, was rubbing his eyes and urinated and fertilized by the fruit tree in front of the door. When he saw Li Yuan and Lou Xiao’e and his party, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands. shouted.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed: "This little bastard, he doesn't even see me!"

After a while, a group of half-children rushed out and circled around the two bicycles, with various shouts one after another.

Li Xing looked at a group of cousins, especially the five kids who were only one year older than him and still wore crotch pants, and danced happily.

The adults also came out when they heard the noise. The autumn harvest had already ended, and the winter wheat had just been planted in the first half of the month, so it was rare to have some free time.

If it was the busiest time in the past two years, it would be crazy to dig wells. After nearly three years of well digging, there are now estimated to be tens of millions of pressurized wells across the country, which has greatly alleviated the destruction caused by drought. sexual consequences.

It is no exaggeration to say that a well can save at least one life...

This year, there have been three rains since the beginning of autumn, which has greatly alleviated the drought. Now the farmers who have been busy for three years can finally take a rest.

"Oh! Little 24 is back!"

The sister-in-law took the lead and hugged Li Xing first.

Li Xing didn't recognize his life, anyone would let him hug him, just don't kiss or touch his face.

Unless it's very beautiful...

The Li family greeted Lou Xiu next to each other, especially those whose children went to school in the city. After returning, there was no one who did not praise the eighth aunt and the eighth aunt's aunt.

Li Gui and Li's mother also came out, Li Gui asked, "Why did you come back so early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Li Yuan briefly explained the matter, and Li Gui sent Li Hai to Qin Huairu's natal family to make an announcement, and then told Li Yuan, "Be careful when you go to work."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I don't leave the workshop, I work in the hospital, there is no danger. Parents, Ezi and I have to go back to the courtyard to help out. The glutinous rice balls are at home today, and his aunt is there. When breastfeeding, the glutinous rice balls only recognize his mother." and his aunt. We'll come back to pick him up after we're done in the afternoon."

Li Gui nodded and said: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you come to pick me up later."

The eldest brother, Li Chi, also said: "We can't delay the funeral. Do we want to bring a gift? Jia's family is your neighbor, and Qin's second eldest daughter is from a village..."

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, Jia Dongxu's death has something to do with me..."

These words almost scared the whole family to death, Lou Xiaoe quickly explained, Li Yuan added with a chuckle, and said the matter roughly, then the sister-in-law started, and Li Yuan took it...

"Hun'er almost scared me away!"

The sister-in-law blamed with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e was a little unhappy and said, "Jia Dongxu didn't know why. Our family never provoked him. Yuanzi also helped his mother and daughter-in-law get needles for more than two years, and they didn't ask for money..."

Li Guidao: "It's not uncommon. Everyone has them. Those who repay favors and those who harm others do not benefit themselves, and those who do not benefit others... Therefore, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. If you think you have done a good thing, do it It's all right, maybe people think that you don't give enough, and look down on him."

Lou Xiao'e said: "Dad, what should we do then? No one knows what other people think...or else just leave them alone in the future!"

Li Gui smiled and said: "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future."

Lou Xiao'e didn't understand, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Dad means, just do what you think is right, don't care whether people who do well appreciate you or not."

Li Gui explained with a smile: "After all, there are more people with conscience."

Lou Xiaoe laughed dryly, but didn't quite understand...

The others didn't force it. For Li Gui, it was enough for his son to understand.

After Li Hai came back and told Qin's second family that he knew about it, Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e rode back to the city.

But he didn't go back to the courtyard first, but went to Beixincang.

"Why did you go home first?"

Lou Xiaoe asked with a smile.

Li Yuan said: "Put on makeup first!"

Lou Xiaoe said "ah" and said in surprise, "Do you still want to put on makeup?"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Look in the mirror, your pink and white face, how does it look like someone who eats wild vegetables in the countryside? I have to paint you a green dot."

If you want to say that you are fat, it is not enough. Right now, you are basically hungry, and many people are more or less bloated.

But Lou Xiaoe's complexion is obviously different from that of the swollen person.

The reason why Li Yuan didn't have to worry was because he practiced martial arts hard every day, which was very intense, which made him look thin.

After a little bit of disguising the sluggish appearance, ordinary people can't see anything.

When he walks in Bagua steps, others will only think that he is hungry and staggering...

Lou Xiao'e can't go back like this, she looks rosy, like a peach, anyone can see that she must be popular and spicy...

Make-up "dye" is ready-made, Li Yuan learned from Mei Lanfang, and it is not difficult to paint a dark yellow and haggard complexion.

After Li Yuan finished, Lou Xiaoe took a look in the mirror, with a disgusted expression on her face: "This is too ugly!"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "It's time to go to the opera, go for a walk, go back and let them see what they will look like after eating wild vegetables."

Lou Xiao'e worried: "But isn't Qin Huairu's natal family from Qinjiazhuang? What if their family leaks their words?"

Li Yuan said happily: "What are you talking about? You go back to Zhuangzi every week, and some people will see you. You just don't like to show up and take care of the children in the house. Don't worry, although my family is a farming family, I don't love Zhang's parents." Li's family was short-sighted, talking right and wrong. Besides, my family name is Li, and I formed a group with myself. I was friendly but not close to other families.

My father is still a branch secretary, and most people don't come to the door.Besides, they don't have the heart to talk about these things today, just Lao Jia's family of old, young, women and children is enough for them to have a headache. "

Lou Xiao'e felt relieved, and also felt coke, and looked in the mirror again, then changed into an old clothes happily, and went back to the courtyard with Li Yuan.

……

When Lou Xiaoe returned to the courtyard, she really attracted a lot of attention, and was stopped to speak as soon as she entered the front yard.

The third mother looked at Lou Xiao'e's face, said "Ouch", and said, "You have suffered a great crime, right? Your face is almost turning green. I ate too much wild vegetable dumplings, is it going to change like this?"

Li Liugen's daughter-in-law burst out laughing, and said: "She was originally a daughter of a rich family, she was popular and drank spicy food, and her face would turn green from hunger after marrying Yuanzi!"

After listening to Li Yuan's advice, Lou Xiao'e said weakly: "It's not bad anymore, there are still people who stutter in the countryside, and they can eat half full. Three mothers, how are you?"

The third mother couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's okay to eat half full, we can fill up with water at most. I am hungry, I can only tremble every day. The green face is better than the green eyes of the hungry. My heart is like a cat scratching Same thing, crying every day. The three mothers have added more people, and the food is not enough for one or two people a day. I can't support it... Xiao'e, do you have any wild vegetables in your house? If so, can you? Give some to the third mother? My family really can't stand it."

Lou Xiao'e was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to respond. In this year, who would ask for food, and no one would have more than enough.

Really helpless, she bit the bullet and said: "Third Mom, your family only has a few people, and my mother-in-law's family has dozens of people. It's autumn again, and the frost has passed, so there are no wild vegetables. The roots of wild vegetables are all boiled." Finished……"

The third mother has an idea: "Xiao'e, the third mother begs you to come back. Your mother-in-law's family doesn't have it, but your mother's family has it. Lou's family used to be Loubancheng, no matter what happens, there will be no shortage of food..."

When the people around heard it, they were quite moved.

It is said that next year will get better, but there are still a few months before next year.

The past few months have been the pre-dawn scene, as dark as it gets, and as cold as it gets.

I don't know how many people can't survive the last few months.

It would be much better if I could borrow some food...

Lou Xiao'e's face changed, and she said angrily, "Third Mom, what are you talking about? You also said that it was before. Before the public-private partnership, our family donated the factory, and even donated the annual dividends. For this, my father also donated I have been to Haizili to accept the commendation. What else do you think our family has? My son and I have no food, and we can’t bear to go back to our mother’s house to compete with my parents for rations. Why do you still think so?"

The three mothers couldn't hold back, and said: "Let me just say... It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what your natal family is, it is much better than us ordinary people, isn't it? A root hair is also thicker than our legs Xiao'e, the neighbors in the neighborhood have to help each other..."

Not to mention, Li Liugen's wife also thinks the same way.

But she is much shrewd, knowing that if Lou Xiao'e is willing to go back to her mother's house to borrow food, why would she turn green when she eats wild vegetables and steamed buns?Li Yuan is not easy to get along with.

So there was no sound...

"is it?"

Li Yuan, who had gone to Jia's house to tell Qin Huairu, happened to hear this, and asked a sullen question?
Yu Li, who had been learning skills behind the three mothers, was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to say hello, "Brother Yuanzi."

Li Yuan didn't respond, he looked at the third mom with a smile and said: "Third mom, are your legs so thin? Are they worse than other people's fine hair?"

Yan Bugui, who was helping in the Intermediate Court, had seen Li Yuan come back, knew that he was going to report to his hometown in the countryside outside the city, and hoped that maybe he could bring some food back, so he hurriedly found a reason to follow, and he was just in the middle of his heart. Thinking about finding a reason to speak up, Li Yuan turned to his wife with an unkind expression.

Yan Bugui shuddered in his heart, and scolded the third mother half to death, are you blind?Didn't you see that the last one who confronted Li Yuan is lying there now?
I also regretted half to death in my heart, I didn't teach well at ordinary times, and my calculation skills were not good enough, so I made people count!
He hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Hey, Yuanzi, what are you doing with an old lady? It's not worth it! Confucius said it all, but villains and women are hard to raise. We old men, don't care about her !"

Li Yuan said happily: "Third Master, you said this lightly. My daughter-in-law has been eating wild vegetable dumplings in the countryside, and I felt sorry for her. This time, your wife has said a lot of lightly... Ezi, You learn from the third uncle, what good things did his wife say."

Lou Xiao'e said angrily: "The third mother first asked me for wild vegetables, and I said I didn't have any. There are dozens of people in the family, and there are not enough wild vegetables to eat. She dug out the roots of wild vegetables and ate them. She asked me to go back to my mother's house to get food for her. , I said that I was hungry and was reluctant to go home to fight for stuttering, and my parents had no food. She said that our family’s emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and my father was Lou Bancheng, and the root hair was bigger than his legs thick……"

Yan Bugui glared at his mother-in-law with an ugly expression, and said, "It's the hair on your legs that is thicker than your waist! If you are uneducated, talk less and make jokes!" Then he turned his head and smiled at Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, you The third mother is just an uneducated, rough old woman, it's useless to say such things..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's useless, but it's also disgusting. Third master, I treat your family well, right? Before I ate vegetables with Brother Zhuzi, how could your family not accept it? What did Sister Qin say? I didn't let her come to help me when I got back, and I felt that although your family is calculating, it's still kind and doesn't take the initiative to harm others.

What's the matter, but made an enemy instead?No food to borrow, just gossiping in that yin and yang?With such a human nature, our family will have to avoid yours in the future, and we kind people like us can't afford it. "

Yan Bugui smiled uglier than crying, and said: "Yuanzi, no, no! Today's matter is your third mother's fault, she is starving and confused!"

Li Yuan hehe, and led Lou Xiao'e inside.

Looking at the backs of the two who had turned their backs and left, Yan Bugui's eyes were red, and he stared at the third mother and said, "Why are you so owed? It's not good for you to offend anyone, why are you offending him?"

The third mother also said with regret: "I never thought that I would offend others... The head of the family, is it okay? I didn't say anything nonsense..."

Li Liugen's daughter-in-law had a great time watching the excitement, and said: "Third Mom, you haven't said anything yet. You just pointed at someone's nose and called him a capitalist. You are also interesting, Lou Xiao'e's face is green from eating wild vegetables, Your face is swollen, can't you see it?"

The third mother said angrily: "She doesn't have enough to eat, and whether her natal family is healthy or not is a different matter!"

Li Liugen's daughter-in-law laughed and said, "You know it's two different things, so why ask someone to borrow it? If you can borrow it, they don't know how to eat it."

If the third mother borrowed food, then she appointed to borrow it too.

Since she can't borrow it, it doesn't prevent her from making sarcastic remarks.

Yan Bugui said: "Okay, stop gloating. Yuanzi is a generous person, so don't worry about it, the eldest daughter-in-law..."

Yu Li said "ah" and said in confusion, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Yan Bugui said: "Go to the middle court and look for opportunities to talk to the couple. Yuanzi has a good impression of you... In front of Lou Xiaoe, you should praise Yuanzi for the good deeds he has done."

Yu Li understood and went to the middle courtyard.

In fact, she still doesn't understand why Yan Bugui asked her to go to the Intermediate Court at this moment...

……

Lou Xiao'e was in a bad mood. She never thought that Li Yuan had put in so much effort to cover up so much for her, but in the end her background was still being talked about.

Can a man decide his birth?
If she could, she would rather have a hard and simple background, not for glory, but to be with Li Yuan, not to hold him back, not to implicate him.

However, her expression, combined with her dark green face, made many people feel sympathetic.

Lou Xiaoe used to be the daughter of a rich family, she was so white and foreign, but now, she is not even as good as them...

Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu felt a little better when they saw it. It turned out that everyone was so miserable...

Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e just showed up, greeted a few seniors, and went to the backyard.

Seeing that the faces of the two of them were not very good, some people wondered, obviously it was not because of Jia Dongxu's sadness. Could it be that something happened when they went back to their hometown in the countryside?

Fortunately, Li Liugen's daughter-in-law quickly came over to clarify the confusion, and said that it was not right to talk about people's right and wrong when the three mothers borrowed money before, so naturally the women in the courtyard were full of talk.

Standing on the moral high ground and accusing others, who wouldn't?Enjoy without the burden!

After all, Yan Bugui was scheming, he and the third mom didn't show up, and sent Yu Li to the back.

Poor Yu Li, who didn't know anything, was scolded by the big mother and others. She didn't hold on for 5 minutes, and went back crying...
