Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

Jia Xi and Jia An, two naughty boys, talked about chopping firewood during the day, and fell down and gnawed a mouthful of mud, which made everyone in the family laugh.

"Heck!" Jiayin was lying on Mrs. Li's lap, and also laughed at her brother.

Mrs. Li rubbed her granddaughter's face, looked at Li Jiaren who was drinking porridge in a gentle manner, made up her mind, and said, "I plan to send the children to study in the county."

As soon as these words came out, the dinner table suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Li in surprise, and didn't understand why she said that. After all, even if you can't go hungry these days, studying is too expensive, and it's still too heavy a burden for the Li family!

Wu Cuihua'er was the first to refuse, "Mom! How much money does it cost to study? Where did our family get so much money? If you want to pay for their education, we will not be able to survive this day!"

She almost jumped up and made a noise, for fear that she would starve if the children were to study.

"Study is a good thing, second sister-in-law, what are you shouting about?" Zhao Yuru couldn't bear to see Wu Cuihua'er's appearance, so she couldn't help but say something.

"Good thing? Good thing, did you pay for the third house? We have a few pennies left at home, and we all read to the children. Let's drink the Northwest Wind!" The land is 100 taels, which she guessed was not much.

"Okay, shut up!" Mrs. Li glanced at Wu Cuihua'er with a dark face, and put her off with one sentence, "I plan to send Jiaren to study only."

"Ah?" Wu Cuihua'er was stunned when she heard that, so she only sent her son to study!

She glanced at her eldest son, wishing she could take back all the words she just said, and smiled awkwardly, "Mother...Mother decides."

It's hard for everyone to say anything about her, but their eyes are not friendly.

Wu Cuihua'er quickly lowered her head to drink the porridge, not daring to say another word.

Li Jiaren was even more ashamed of his mother. He put down his job and said, "Grandma, our family has just settled here. There are a lot of places to spend money. I'm not in a hurry to study. Let's talk about it when the family has a harvest next year."

Mrs. Li is very pleased that her grandson is so sensible, but she will never change her mind about what she has already decided.

"If our family wants to really take root here, this is not enough for the time being. Helping the villagers with some small chores or buying property is just for the moment. If we want our Li family to prosper for a long time, we still need our children and grandchildren to study." Mrs. Li glanced at everyone and saw that they all nodded before continuing.

"Isn't there a saying that goes like this? There are no scholars in the family, where do the officials come from? Even if you are not a scholar, you only take the test for a child, and outsiders want to bully the Li family. They have to weigh it. Jiaren, grandma thinks you are a student. , go to study, the family can afford you!"

Jiaren really likes to read. As long as he is free, he will definitely look for something with words to read, or write on the ground with a wooden stick. Not only Mrs. Li, but the Li family are all aware of these things.

Both Li Laosan and Li Laosi expressed their support, "Yes, Jiaren is going to study, we will definitely be able to pay for it."

"Grandma, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle..." Jiaren had tears welling up in his eyes, took a deep breath, got up and saluted the elders, "I will definitely study hard and do my best for our family!"

"Good boy!" Only then did Mrs. Li show a little smile.

Wu Cuihua'er saw that the matter of her son's study was settled, and the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears, so she took her son's hand and started talking.

"My son is the most obedient, and he will definitely be able to study hard. As long as we don't become like your uncle, we will lose all our readers... Oops!"

Wu Cuihua hadn't finished speaking, Li Lao Er quickly pinched her arm hard, the pain caused her tears to come out, and when she was about to scold Li Lao Er, she finally noticed the expression on Li Lao Er's face belatedly. black as ink...

Wu Cuihua'er suddenly remembered the taboos at home, and panicked immediately. Before she could make up for it, Mrs. Li dropped the porridge bowl with a bang, and hot porridge ideas jumped everywhere.

A lump just landed on Jiayin's exposed arm, causing her to shiver with pain.

But Mrs. Li was clearly in a bad mood, so Jiayin resisted and remained silent.

"You heartless bastard!" Second Li was afraid that Mrs. Li would get even more angry when she saw Wu Cuihua'er, so she grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the back room to teach her a lesson.

Listening to the reprimand from the back room, everyone carefully looked at Mrs. Li's face, and they didn't dare to serve the bowl again.

Jiayin turned her little head to look around, seeing how everyone in her family wanted to know the reason, and she became more and more curious.

So it turns out that her uncle who has never shown her face is taboo, and she can't even mention it?

Jiayin wanted to know the uncle's story eagerly, but couldn't speak, so she could only raise her hand to touch Old Madam Li's face, coaxing her.

Mrs. Li couldn't eat, so she simply carried her granddaughter back to the house, leaving a table full of people who turned into quails with shrunken necks.

As soon as Mrs. Li put her granddaughter on the kang, she saw a red spot on her granddaughter's little arm.

She hurried up to take a look, and felt another piece of porridge on the sleeve that was still warm, and immediately realized that her granddaughter had been burned.

But the child didn't cry just now, could it be that he was frightened by her?

Mrs. Li's heart was full of remorse and heartache, why did she forget that her granddaughter was in her arms just now, what a porridge bowl she threw!

She hurriedly picked up her granddaughter, raised her little arm, and kissed and blown at the same time.

"Does Fu Niuer hurt? It's all my grandma's fault. Grandma shouldn't lose her temper. Did she scare us Fu Niuer..."

Of course, Jiayin can't say it hurts, and she can't say it, she can only respond with a giggle, hoping that the old lady will feel less guilty.

Seeing her granddaughter's eyes wide open, reaching out to touch her face as if to comfort her, Mrs. Li felt more and more uncomfortable, and finally hugged her granddaughter and cried.

Jiayin was held upright in her arms by Mrs. Li, with her head resting on her shoulders, and she could really feel her grandma's trembling body, and hearing the suppressed sobs, she also felt pain in her heart.

Grandma has always been the backbone of the Li family. As a family member, she speaks and does things neatly and is extremely strong. She led a dozen of them to flee famine all the way, and never shed tears no matter how difficult it was.Now I'm crying so sadly...

She tried her best to rub grandma's face with her small face, and wanted to raise her hand to wipe away her tears, but unfortunately, her little hand was not very good at controlling it, and it ended up being a slap in the face instead...

Since Wu Cuihua'er was severely reprimanded by Li's second son that day, she no longer dared to talk too much at home, for fear that Li's old lady would be unhappy and not let her son go to school.

On this day, Mrs. Li went hunting in the mountains early in the morning, but she didn't come back at noon. Mrs. Li was worried that something happened, so she asked her second son to go out to meet him.

As a result, as soon as Li Laoer arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was startled. A blood-stained man barged in outside the gate, with a red deer on his shoulders!

He was about to call for someone, but when he took a closer look, he realized that this person was Li Lao Si!

"Qiusheng? You...how did you get into this look? But you were injured?" For a moment, Li Lao Er didn't know whether to look at Li Lao Si or the red deer.
