The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 304 Li Caixia’s Family
In the past few days, Mingli has been busy doing things in his own fields, and whenever he has free time, he will go to Zhaojiagou.

After Zhao Guiru and Li Mingli were officially engaged, they dropped out of school and went home to prepare for their marriage. During the weekdays, when they were embroidering their own wedding dresses, they would also find time to read a book.

Li Mingli often went to Village Chief Zhao's house on the pretext of delivering books.If the two can meet openly, the unmarried couple will not have so many taboos to avoid. Of course, there will be other people present when the two meet, so the rules will not be violated.

"Uncle Zhao, I came here this time to tell my uncle and aunt and Gui Ru that I will leave for the north the day after tomorrow and be back before Nianba."

Village Chief Zhao had a smile on his face: "Okay, go out safely, take care of yourself along the way, and come back safe and sound."

"Oh, I will come back safely." After saying that, Li Mingli took out a small box from his arms and said, "Auntie, please pass this to Gui Ru."

Mrs. Qiu looked at Village Chief Zhao and said, "Go in person, it's in the vegetable yard."

The smile on Li Mingli's face suddenly bloomed, and he immediately responded: "Okay, thank you uncle and aunt."

In Zhao's vegetable garden, Zhao Guiru was weeding. In fact, there was no grass. The vegetable garden was close to the main house, so she found an excuse to squat there and listen to what Ming Li and her parents were talking about.At this moment, he heard that Mingli was coming towards him, so he quickly changed his position and started working with the hoe.

"Gui Ru." Li Mingli looked silly and amused!

Zhao Guiru also responded with a naive smile.

"Have you finished reading the book I sent last time?" Li Mingli asked.

Zhao Guiru nodded: "I just finished reading it two days ago. Did the third brother bring a new book this time?"

"I brought, uh, five books, enough for you to read for a while. I just have to go on a long trip right now, so I thought of bringing you a few more books."

"Hehe, then there will be more third brothers." Zhao Guiru looked through the story book that Mingli brought, feeling so happy that she couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

The books Li Mingli found were all story books, about a down-and-out scholar meeting a wealthy daughter, a domineering marquis falling in love with her, or the three-life entanglement between a princess and a general, and even some ghosts and strange things. These were all written by Zhao Guiru. required.Reading calligraphy books is the biggest benefit after learning to read, Zhao Guiru thinks so.

When she first went to the school, Zhao Guiru felt that the new and interesting things were interesting and she was very motivated to learn. However, after attending the class for a period of time, she gradually couldn't keep up with Grandma Cui's progress. She was considered to be in the middle and lower reaches of the class, so she became interested in learning. I lost interest, and then I realized the reality and realized that I was really not good at studying. When I came home from a break, I told my parents that I wanted to drop out of school.

But after thinking about the situation of Mingli and the Li family, and with the persuasion of my parents, I reluctantly insisted on continuing to study, and finally understood the Thousand-Character Classic.Aunt Cui also discovered Zhao Guiru's situation, and after asking Wang for instructions, she relaxed her requirements on Guiru.Without strict requirements, Zhao Guiru found it much easier to learn. In addition to the words in the Thousand-Character Essay, she also learned a lot of words by secretly reading in calligraphy books. At least Zhao Guiru felt that this was enough for her life.The first time I read the storybook was when Mingmei shared it with Guiru. The storybook was left to Mingmei by Yunlan. It can be said that one book was passed down to three people.

"Now, here's a little gift for you!" Li Mingli took out the wooden box again.

Zhao Guiru opened it awkwardly: "Wow, what a beautiful hairpin."

This hairpin was bought by Mingli on the way back from Shiyang County. The silver hairpin is engraved with osmanthus flowers and has a ruby ​​inlaid in the middle. The gem is not big, but it looks good when embellished with the surrounding osmanthus flowers. Mingli thought this osmanthus hairpin matched Zhao Guiru very well because it contained the word "osmanthus".

"It looks good!" Zhao Guiru inserted it on her head casually.

"nice!"

The two of them just stood there silly and happy.He didn't stay at Gui Ru's house for long. After saying goodbye, he went to Zhao Daliang's house.

"Uncle, aunt, I came here to ask you if you want to bring something to Yuncheng and sister-in-law." As soon as he entered the door, Li Mingli went straight to the topic when he saw the person.

Mrs. Jiang said warmly: "Hey, I want it. I thought I would send it to you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come to my door today."

Li Mingli didn't know what he was thinking of. He smiled to hide his shyness: "Auntie, it's okay."

Jiang wanted to ask something else, but Zhao Daliang pulled Jiang as if he had read Mingli's thoughts.

Only then did Mrs. Jiang react and said hurriedly: "Okay, just wait while Auntie goes to take out the package. You have to lie down after all the hard work today." After that, she walked quickly to the inner room.

Zhao Daliang smiled: "Ming Li, sit down and have a sip of tea. Your aunt will take out the things later."

"Hey, let me take a rest!" Li Mingli sat down naturally. He was so nervous at Village Chief Zhao's house that he didn't dare to relax. After all, he was his father-in-law-to-be, so he had to be afraid after all.It's different now when I arrive at my eldest brother's father-in-law's house. I sit down easily and can chat with my uncle and uncle Yunsong from time to time.

……

The next day, Li Mingyi summoned those who signed up to go to Shiyang County to hold a mobilization meeting before departure.

This time there are about thirty people in the team. In addition to some guards at home and a few servants, the rest are all voluntarily signed up by the villagers.

The first person to sign up was quite surprising to Li Mingyi. It was Li Caixia who worked in a soap shop.Now Li Caixia's family has enough food and financial resources.After the family had some money, Caixia took her father to the county to see a doctor several times. Now her body and bones are much better than before. Although she still can't go to the fields to do farm work, she can still do some simple housework at home. Still can help.And now the whole family doesn't have to worry about the old man's health all the time.

Caixia's eldest brother, Li Dazhuang, was moved by the fact that his sister supported the family. He seemed to have looked away. Two years ago, he sent a letter of divorce to the child's maternal grandfather's house, and also refunded a lot of the betrothal gift. go back.The man knew that he was in the wrong, and when he saw that the betrothal gift had been returned, he did not come to bother him. From then on, Li Dazhuang and his sister worked hard to support the family.Li Dazhuang also joined the motorcade, and now he can bring back a lot of money to his family in one trip.

And Li Caiyan is Caixia's eldest sister. There was a quarrel for a while, so she took her children back to Lijiacun to live for a while. Her husband's family also saw clearly the situation in Lijiacun, so they came to Lijiacun to apologize.Caiyan did not make peace for the sake of her children, but now she is in charge of her husband's family. After all, she has someone to support her.

Because Li Caixia herself is capable and can make money, she is considered a piece of cake for the matchmaker. Not only her, but also the girls of the right age in Lijia Village.

It was also because of this incident that Li Caixia thought about escaping from Lijia Village. She was really annoyed by the blind date. The man she liked was not liked by others.As for a man who likes her, he looks at her like a gold ingot. Every time she sees this expression, Li Caixia just wants to gouge out his eyes.So Li Caixia collapsed. She didn't want to go on a blind date anymore, so let's love as much as we want!But my mother-in-law didn't agree and kept saying it in her ears every day. That's why Li Caixia was the first to sign up to go to Shiyang County.

Li Caixia signed up without telling her family. By the time her family found out, it was already too late. After all, she was working for Yun Lan. If she went back on her promise, she would be afraid that Caixia would disappoint her employer and lose her job.

Just like that, Li Caixia decided. Li Caixia also felt that now is not a good time to get married. While she has the energy now, she can save more money and buy a piece of land by herself in the future. After buying a house in the town, it would be a good idea to become a landlord. Beautiful things.

Having said that, Li Mingyi felt warm in his heart when he saw everyone gathered in the ancestral hall.This time, there were 16 people in the convoy led by Li Dashan, Deng Yong brought an apprentice, and carpenter Master Zhang brought four apprentices on the road together.

The original rule was that only one person from a family could sign up. Considering that only one woman in the village signed up, Caixia, they made an exception and allowed Li Dazhuang to go together.Li Dazhuang was originally a little upset that he couldn't go this time, but unexpectedly, he got a turn for the better. Then Li Mingyi also selected a few maids from the family's servants who wanted to take care of Yunlan, which was considered a small girl. Team.This way Caixia's situation in the team won't be too embarrassing.

This mobilization meeting includes some precautions for going on the road. The most important thing is to obey the team's arrangements. Safety is the top priority in everything, and no unauthorized actions are allowed during the journey.Of course, the Li family paid for the food and transportation expenses for this expatriate trip, and there were also accommodation arrangements when they went to the north. This was the consistent style of Yunlan and the Li family.
