t stopping her father from doing evil all those years ago, or if she regretted not confessing sooner and treating her husband's illness. Maybe she was just feeling miserable, so she cried the whole wa...Li Lao Si loves his youngest daughter the most. Hearing this, he finally had a bit more fondness for this older brother whom he was meeting for the first time. 。He reached out to take his daughter, wanting to rub her little face, but remembering the frying pan his wife had just wielded, he quickly changed his mind and only dared to give her a quick kiss. 。Of course, my daughter is the best in the world. 。" Lao Li couldn't stand his boasting anymore, so she said, "Go and invite Dr. Zhang. If the village head and your Uncle Zhao were here, please invite them too." 。From now on, whenever your older brother comes to the village, let him get acquainted with all the elders so that he won't be mistaken for an outsider and turned away later. 。"Understood, mother. " 。Li Lao Si put down his daughter and left. Jia Yin took small steps, running to the next door. 。Yesterday, Madam Cui came to stay for a short while and also heard a few words about the Li family finding their eldest son. Right now, she is with Sister Qiong, chatting and doing needlework. 。As a result, Jia Yin ran in, “Auntie, Auntie, Uncle's here, come sit, come sit!” Cui Fu grasped her and held her close, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead with her handkerchief and smiling, "Fatty, where did you run around and get all sweaty Auntie made you a little sunshade hat. Would you like it" "Yes!" Jia Yin's eyes lit up with delight. She definitely didn’t want to be sunburned again. 。Mrs. Cui adored her little appearance, hugged her tightly and kissed her affectionately, then put a new hat on her. 。The hat has a delicate copper wire frame, lined inside and out with smooth, cool satin. It is embroidered with pretty flowers and has light gauze around the edges. 。In normal times, it can be worn on the brim. If there are mosquitoes and dust, you can put it down, turning it into a curtain to block them. 。Jiayin loved it very much. She walked in circles on the ground with her little hands on her back. 。She was already plump, and now, with her current appearance, she looked like a waddling white goose, causing both Mrs. Cui and Sister Qiao to burst into laughter. 。When Mrs. Cui brought the good news to the Li family, she happened to meet Li Laosi who had invited a renowned physician and several elder gentlemen from the village. 。Li's courtyard immediately became lively, crowded with over a dozen people 。As the house was crowded, Li Lao Tai simply asked her son to bring some small stools and place them under the eaves. They chatted and enjoyed the breeze while sitting there. 。The Divine Healer Zhang had a quick temper. Seeing Wang, the County Magistrate, he immediately took his pulse and skillfully inserted golden needles. Then, he closed his eyes to cultivate his spirit, ignoring everything else. 。Jiayin, being mischievous, saw the old man's white beard fluttering in the wind and quietly snuck over. She pulled out two strands and ran away. 。The great doctor Zhang winced in pain and jumped up, chasing after her. "Little chubby girl, don't you want to live Once I catch you, I'll definitely prick you into a hedgehog!"Jia Yin wished she had four legs, running while giggling. 。Everyone saw this old and young pair running all over the place, they were all amused. 。Jia Yin's little short legs were no use, she was caught after all. 。Seeing the little bottom about to suffer, she quickly took a candy ball from her pocket and stuffed it into the old man's mouth, "Grandpa, eat candy!"Sure enough, the old man snorted coldly, but his slap didn't come down. He hugged her back and sat down, slowly savoring the fruity aroma and sweetness in his mouth. 。Jia Yin also stuffed one for herself, smiling and lying on the grandfather's lap. 。Because of their commotion, the tension and strangeness between the common people and Wang Wai were gone. 。The village head and the others sized up Wang Wai, laughing and saying, “This child doesn’t look much like Lao Er and his brothers.” 。“He’s like his father, and the rest of them are like me.” 。"No wonder," the village head nodded, instructing Wang Yuanwai, "Don't worry if you can't remember, just get better first." 。Whether you return home or not, your mother and younger brothers don't mind. As long as you live a safe and healthy life wherever you are, they will be happy. 。" Mr. Wang, upon hearing this, felt a warmth in his heart. He stood up and bowed once again. 。Nobody asked Wang Yuanwai about his life in the city, whether he lived a wealthy or poor life. They only chatted for a while about trivial matters from the village and its surroundings. 。Li Lao Tai remembered the shop in Lu'an Town and her grandson's book boy, and said, "Village Head, Jia Ren went to Lu'an Academy as a student. The fourth son said that all the students there have book boys, the academy is large, and it's convenient for someone to run errands and do odd jobs..." 。I was thinking that in the village, I should also find one for Jiaren. 。“That’s good!” The village head nodded repeatedly, replying: “The kids in our village are quite clever. Choosing one to follow Jiaren will also broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.” 。“Also, Uncle Zhao and the others chimed in, saying, “Ertou and Xiaoshu are both good kids.” 。" Lao Li said: "Wu Sanniang heard a few words of our idle chatter and wanted to send Goureng to us. That child had suffered quite a bit before, and he was a little timid. 。All the people in the academy are scholars, maybe that child could go there for a few years and cultivate his character. 。“
The village head and Zhao Shu suddenly realized.
"That's right, I forgot about Gou Sheng'er. This child is indeed more suitable " 。He's just a child, and his parents are probably the only ones who can teach him how to do chores like laundry and cooking. They probably haven't taught him anything else because there's only one child in the family. 。"He's a clever lad, working as a clerk in the valley. Doesn't look like he's doing too badly. " 。“After a few words from everyone, the matter was settled.” 。Li Lao Tai said again, "This child working as a bookboy for Jia Ren, of course, we will supply his food and clothing. We'll give him some pocket money every month, the amount will be decided by us and his parents." 。"That's it," the village head waved his hand, "your family always handles things properly." 。"That's one thing and another. We should clarify things beforehand to avoid any hard feelings later." 。"
Lao Si went to the kitchen and brought out two plates of cherries. Many households in the neighboring village of Da Huai Shu planted cherry trees. This season was ripe, and you could buy a small basket for a few cents>>> 。Children of the big locust tree often carry them over to sell. Those who are well-off or celebrating will buy one every few days if their mouth is craving it. 。Everyone was eating cherries, and Jia Yin also came running over, but she only ate one and gave up. 。This is an ungrafted and unevolved cherry tree. It looks good, but the taste is really not that good. 。The old woman feared she would cause trouble, so she held her in her arms. After a moment's hesitation, she still said to the village head, "Village head, the Hot Spring Valley has also been open for almost a month now, and there have been quite a few visitors. Shouldn't we pay the villagers a share of the wages Almost every household has put their silver into it, and nowadays they can barely afford to buy oil, salt, vinegar, or even some snacks for the children." 。The village head was stunned, and his pipe knocked against his forehead repeatedly. 。"Oh dear, my brain, it's gone! I can't remember anything at all!" 。The other day I was talking to Lao Zhao and the others, saying that Jia Ren probably didn't have enough money to pay for his share, so we should ask Lao Er to calculate how much everyone owed and give out some wages. But I completely forgot about it. 。Uncle Zhao and the others also laughed, "We thought you had already said it." 。The old woman, fearing that the village head would worry too much, quickly persuaded him, "Our family originally had some money left over from Jiaren's school fees. The reason we wanted wages is because there's something else..." 。"What's the matter, Auntie Has something happened at home" Mrs. Cui asked, "I have some silver here..." 。" Even Wang, the senior official, asked, “I have one here too...” Li Lao Tai quickly waved her hand. "It's nothing major. There's a good shop near the academy, and I thought of having Lao San’s family go there to sell some food. It would bring in more income for the family and also take care of Jia Ren..." 。Everyone let out a sigh of relief, "This is good news, Jia Ren is fortunate, his family has been so worried about him" 。“ The village head thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll come over at night to calculate with Lao Er. If it's due, we'll pay the workers.” 。Everyone deserves a taste of the sweet rewards. It motivates people to work harder. 。Everyone laughed, “That's right, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.” 。">emember Granny's sixty years old She can't stand this kind of scare!""Jīa Xǐ and Jīa n haven't sent any news. Grandma has worried herself sick multiple times, and now you come back to stir up trouble!...
