The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 13 Goodbye Parents
Li Mingde leaned on crutches and walked along the path to his old house. Mrs. Wang was enjoying the shade in the yard. Seeing her son coming, Mrs. Wang moved a stool for him to sit on.

Li Mingde put down his crutches, with a solemn expression, "Mother, I thought about what happened yesterday, and I disagree."

Mrs. Wang bit her cattail fan and saw Li Shangyou, the third child, coming out, "Yesterday I had a dream about your father. Your father said that he was not happy underground. It seems that the location of this ancestral grave is not good."

The third child, Li Shangyou, sat down next to Li Mingde, and casually lit a herbal cigarette. "Mother, the second child is like this now, I will pay for his share."

"Third brother, it's not a matter of paying. Caiwei was picked up by her mother, and it's only natural to get married in a few years, but what's going on now?"

"Second brother, you think very clearly. This matter is related to the lives of the whole family. You can't be confused because of an outsider." The third child, Li Shangyou, is a straightforward person. house, leaving it for the youngest son to marry a wife.

But Dixian said that Feng Shui is not good, and there is something wrong with our ancestral grave. After a final investigation, it was said that there was an ominous person in the family.

"Although Caiwei is not my own, this child is kind-hearted. How can he be an ominous person? You usually see it in your eyes."

"Are you still unclear? Tell me, how many strange things have happened since that girl came to your house? Look at your half-dead look, I think it's probably because of her."

Li Mingde stood up from the bench suddenly, "I agree to move the ancestral grave, but Caiwei is my daughter, and I will definitely not let her leave."

Mrs. Wang pointed to the stool with her cattail fan, "Second brother, I didn't mean you. Your mother feels uncomfortable seeing your house now. The relocation of the ancestral grave is a major event in the family. Mr. Feng Shui always has his reasons. You Dad entrusted me with a dream yesterday, saying that the second child's family suffered such an accident, which made him feel uneasy." Wang sighed, "The third child's building a house should not involve Caiwei, but this girl came to your house , You and your daughter-in-law have accidents one after another, and Caixiang married into the Hu family, and there is no news, and you don't know whether you are dead or alive, thinking about it makes people feel bad."

"Mother, these are all coincidences." Li Mingde said dissatisfied.

"Okay, after all, the girl Caiwei has also stayed in our family for a while, and she is considered a member of our family. It is a great tolerance for me to agree to let her enter the genealogy." Wang closed her eyes, said slowly, her eyes But he kept looking at his son, seeing that his son was a little shaken, and after some persuasion, the matter was almost settled. "An acquaintance in a neighboring village introduced me to a suitable candidate. His family is well-off, and his parents are honest people. Caiwei will definitely enjoy happiness if he marries."

The third child echoed: "Mother is right, you don't have to worry about no one taking care of you, if Caiwei leaves, Caibin's daughter-in-law won't be concerned."

Li Mingde thought for a while, if he disagreed, the girl might not be able to stay in the village. If she agreed, the girl would have to marry a fool in the neighboring village. She was only ten years old, and if she married, she might be bullied by her mother-in-law.Li Mingde sighed, "Mother, I'll go back and discuss with her mother."

Wang said forcefully, "You give me an answer as soon as possible. The Liu family has given you a lot of betrothal gifts. There are a few suitable candidates here, who can just be Cai Bin's daughter-in-law."

Li Mingde reluctantly agreed, he can't count on his appearance like this, the only thing he can count on is his son, but if the girl Caiwei can't marry a wife... weigh the pros and cons, the girl will marry sooner or later, even ten years old is not too young , Marry in the past and be a child bride-in-law, and it will be fine after a few years when she grows up.

Li Caiwei was washing rice, seeing her father came back, she quickly wiped away her tears.

"Father, are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water."

Li Mingde thought in his heart that he should find a time to discuss with his daughter, so that she would be prepared, but it was summer, and when there was no busy farming season, he married Caibin a wife, and someone could take care of her.But looking at Li Caiwei, she didn't know how to speak many words.

"Well, pour me some boiling water."

Li Caiwei used a tea bowl, poured a bowl of cold water, and handed it to her father.

Li Mingde drank half a bowl of water, and finally opened his mouth, "Caiwei, your mother has loved you since you were a child, and your father has loved you too. Your mother has become like this, and your father can't do heavy work. The courage of the family all falls on your brother." .”

"Father, I understand."

"Your brother is 15 years old this year, and he has reached the age of marrying a wife. Only after marrying a wife will the family look like it."

"Father, I heard what grandma told you just now. My brother is the pillar of the family. I am willing to marry for my brother."

Li Mingde's vicissitudes of face showed a little surprise, and the corners of his mouth trembled, "Father and mother are sorry for you."

"As long as my family is good, I am willing to do anything."

Li Mingde sighed, "The child has wronged you."

Li Caiwei has been busy all day, cleaning the front and back of the house.

Before dark, Li Caiwei prepared all the meals. Seeing that her brother Li Caibin was still pulling weeds in the field, she first put the meals in the pot to heat them up, fearing that the meals would be cold.

Li Caibin came back from the field with a hoe on his shoulder, and saw his sister sitting in front of the house with a sewing kit and a pile of clothes beside her.

"Brother, the tops of your winter jackets are rotten. I'll take them out and mend them for you. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be mended?"

Since the accident with his parents, Li Caibin has become taciturn, likes to be alone, and always speaks without saying a word.I just came back, and went to the ancient well to fetch water with a bucket.

"Brother, it's enough to carry a load of water."

Li Caibin paused, and wanted to answer, but finally chose to remain silent.

Li Caiwei looked up and saw Li Caibin's figure disappearing into the distance, she sighed softly, what should I do with my brother's personality?
After all the clothes were sewn, Li Caiwei sorted the clothes and sent them to the parents' room.

"Father, I've dried all the clothes so that they won't get moldy and can be stored for a while."

"Girl, these things can be done by my daughter-in-law in the future. You should prepare first. You have to go to Liujia Village tomorrow."

Li Caiwei originally wanted to wait until Li Caibin married a wife, but if she didn't get married as soon as possible, where would the family have the money to marry a wife?
"Father, I know."

The room fell into silence, everyone had their own concerns.

Li Caiwei walked to the bed and wiped away the tears from the corners of Lin's eyes, her heart couldn't help but twitch. "Mother, it's fine when I marry. Don't worry, Liu's Village is far away from our home, but I will come back to see you often."

Li Mingde helped Lin to sit up, "Daughter-in-law, today is my daughter's last dinner at home. I know you love her, so I will help you get up and have a meal."

Li Caiwei touched the tears in the corners of her eyes, forced a smile, and helped Lin to get up.
