Chapter 66

"OK, OK, it's not easy for the second family. He's still a brother-in-law who has gone to the door. It's kind enough to help us," said old Li, pointing out that Li Changfeng's family doesn't have food, but Xu Qing doesn't give it. "It's getting late. Go back quickly, otherwise the family will be in a hurry."

Li Changfeng didn't refute too much. After saying goodbye to the Li family, he drove a not thin donkey and went home while the moonlight was still full.

"Well, the donkey is so fat." Li Laosan's little brother pulled the corners of Li Wang's clothes, and his little face was full of saliva. The child didn't know what drought was, but he knew that there were fewer and fewer things to eat on the table these days, and there were not many days to eat.

Li Laosan regained his mind, touched the child's head, and looked at Li Wangshi. He saw his thin face these days, full of guilt and heartache. Little brother Li returned to the room, locked the door, lowered his head and rummaged through the cupboard at the end of the bed.

When Li Changfeng came home, Xu Qing was completely asleep because he was afraid of making too much noise. Li Changfeng cleaned up and climbed into bed. Although it was summer, the temperature at night was still a little low. As soon as Li Changfeng went to bed, Xu Qing leaned over with the source of hot air.

Li Changfeng gently hugged Xu Qing, put his hand on Xu Qing's stomach for four months, gently stroked it, and the child would come out in six months. At that time, it was also the beginning of next spring. He only hoped that God would open his eyes and rain earlier, and the child would be more comfortable.

A few days later, Xie came to chat, "I went back to Jixiang village yesterday. Do you know what happened in that village?" Because she bought enough food in advance, Xie a mo was not very sad. She often came to chat with Xu Qing when she had nothing to do.

"What's the matter at this time?" In the year of famine, everyone was more or less worried. Xu Qing really didn't know what was worth discussing.

Xie amu didn't understand Xu Qing's idea. "Although there is drought and famine now, no one will talk about anything. This man, when he's free, doesn't he just get together to talk about things!"

Xu Qing moved his bones a few times and sat down with his increasingly bulky body. "Then talk about it quickly and don't be appetizing."

Li Changfeng wandered around. Xie a mo was not afraid of him hearing, "it's not the third child of the Li family."

It turned out that Li Laosan's ambition in his heart had not been achieved. His family had a large population and very little food. If he continued to work like this, even adults would starve to death, not to mention children, so he discussed with Li Laohan that he wanted to teach!

I went to Lizheng's house for this. Lizheng was also very helpless. In his early years, the villagers looked at him and pointed to him to teach. He regarded himself as noble and unwilling. Now, most of the villagers don't have enough to eat. He wants to teach again!

"I don't want any money, just give some food every month." When Li Laosan finished, Li Zheng asked, "do you think food or money is important now?"

The food prices of rice shops in the town are soaring. How much food can the farmers buy with their money? Others can't eat enough. It's really beautiful to want others to exchange their money for food.

Li Laosan was a little embarrassed and didn't take this conversation. He sat stuffy and didn't leave. After thinking about it, he informed the villagers that Li Laosan would teach children to study outside the ancestral hall in the village. If he wanted to send the children, he would go. As for shuxiu, it's not easy now. That's what he meant.

"What happened? Does anyone take the children? " Xu Qing is really curious about whether someone has sent their children to study. Such an opportunity is in front of everyone. Although everyone is not very happy now, such an opportunity is also worth it. There are a lot less things handed in than in the stable period.

Xie a Yao's expression was also a little surprised. "At the beginning, there was no one, but I heard that more than a dozen people sent their children. It was not easy to pay them. I thought Li Laosan wouldn't accept them. As a result, unexpectedly, they accepted them."

Xu Qing nodded thoughtfully. Also, I'm afraid there are no extra things in the Li family yard except the food sent by Li Changfeng that day. The whole family has to eat. Li Laosan is unwilling and has no way to refuse.

"Daughter in law! I'll go to Li's yard! My brother is gone! "

As soon as Li Changfeng saw it, he ran home, followed by boss Li.

"Gone?"

Xu Qing stood up and asked suspiciously. Old Li Dalian hurriedly came forward and explained, "I was not at home yesterday because I had less clothes. We all thought we came to you and didn't come back today. That's why I came to have a look..."

Li Changfeng finished the donkey cart and didn't say much, "I'll look for it. Thank you. Ah Qing asked you to look after some, daughter-in-law. I'll go."

"Be polite to me. Go," said Xie. She thought it was a big deal. The unmarried brother was gone, but it was a big deal!

"Go, don't worry about me."

Xu Qing wanted to follow him, but he was powerful but powerless!

Xie a Yao took Xu Qing to sit down and said in wonder, "the Li family is really worried. His brother hasn't been home for nearly two days. He just wants to find someone. It's not blind!"

Xu Qing thought about what boss Li said. When he left, he took some clothes with him, which means that his brother secretly left. When he thought about it, Xu Qing's worry was slightly less, but he thought again in the twinkling of an eye, what if brother Li followed other men! It's no smaller than his own sneaking away!

Xie amu also had such an idea in his heart, but he didn't say much. Now his brother's mind is different from theirs at that time, and he has more ideas.

Li Changfeng took boss Li back to Jixiang village. There was still no one at home. He went to several brothers in the village who usually get along with brother Li, and didn't ask why.

"Yes!"

Boss Li suddenly remembered something and said to Li Changfeng, "I remember my brother often goes to Zhou's house to find Chen Hong these days!"

"Why is Chen Hong at the Zhou family?" Li Changfeng is said to be confused. Shouldn't he go to the Chen family to find Chen Hong? Why did you go to Zhou's house.

Boss Li patted his thigh and said, "Chen Hong married the man of the Zhou family! It's not. It's not a good year, and there's nothing big to do. It's normal if you don't know. "

So Li Changfeng and boss Li went to Zhou's house again. Chen Hong was doing embroidery work under the eaves. Although Zhou Wen was a scholar, his family was not well-off. Embroidery handkerchief could earn some trivial money. It was also his good workmanship. Otherwise, he couldn't sell it. He couldn't eat food these days. How many people bought it.

Li Changfeng knocked on the courtyard door. Chen Hong put down her work and opened the door. "Brother Li, brother Changfeng." Chen Hong didn't expect Li Changfeng to come to him, just as Li Changfeng didn't expect Chen Hong to marry Zhou Wen so quietly.

Li Changfeng saw that although Chen Hong lost some weight, he was not haggard. He wanted to come to the Zhou family and didn't suffer any injustice. "Come in and sit down." Chen Hong generously and appropriately invited them to enter the courtyard, but Li Changfeng declined. Chen Hong was at home alone, and it was not appropriate for them to enter the gate.

In order to save time, Li Changfeng explained his intention straight to the point. Chen Hong looked down and thought, "he has been here several times. He doesn't talk as much as before, and he feels calmer." He also knew something about the accident in brother Li's ear, "but the last time he came, he meant some parting, but he didn't say much about it."

Li Changfeng and boss Li couldn't, so they had to thank Chen Hong and prepare to go to the town to ask acquaintances to see if they had seen brother Li. "By the way, please keep it a secret. My brother is angry." Li Changfeng also knew that people's words were terrible, so he ordered a few words before leaving, and Chen Hong responded one by one.

"Don't worry, I know the importance of this. Bye, brother Changfeng." Goodbye, the deepest you in my heart.

Chen Hong didn't close the gate until she couldn't see Li Changfeng and them. In the corner of one side, Zhou Wen, who had been hiding next to Li Changfeng and them since they came to the door, came out, stared at their own gate, cleared her throat and opened the gate.

"I'm back."

When Li Changfeng and boss Li arrived in the town, they acted separately to find someone to ask. The first place Li Changfeng asked was Lin Fangliang, and it was also the first to get the news of where brother Li went.

"Did you say he went to the Deng family in town to take care of the sick old woman?"

Lin Fangliang nodded, "that's old Deng alone. Deng A's family went to other towns to do business, and there was no one to take care of them. No, they were looking for someone to take care of Deng in those days, but Deng didn't want to. Brother Li came to get the medicine. Deng A's talking about it, so brother Li said he would try."

After seeing Li Changfeng's face calm down, Lin Fangliang continued: "I didn't know that Deng really agreed to go this time, so he asked Li Xiaoge to prepare to go to town these days, live and eat with Deng. The salary is 450 Wen a month, which is very generous in this period."

Lin Fangliang really didn't know that little brother Li didn't even inform his family and came out alone. "Don't worry, the Deng family is also a real person. Although the business is not very big, they are still loyal. In addition, the Deng family has no men, but they live close to the government, and public security is good. Little brother Li takes care of old Deng three meals a day, takes medicine, dispels worries and relieves boredom, It's much better than he's unhappy at home. "

No one wants to see someone who almost ruined his life, at least for the time being.

"Then please show me the way and I'll see him." Li Changfeng knew where little brother Li was going. He was less worried, but he still had to see someone before he could know more. He really felt relieved.

"OK, let's go."

Although the Deng family's house was small, it was relatively tight. Brother Li stood in front of the expressionless Li Changfeng, "brother II, I really didn't mean to. I had packed up my things that day and wanted to take them first, so they could come directly if they didn't promise me. As a result, old Deng had a fever that afternoon. There was no one at home, so I couldn't help it, You can't put him anywhere, so... ".

"You scared us badly. Such a big man should know what's big and what's small. What's the consequence!" Li Changfeng scolded brother Li, who listened obediently and nodded from time to time to show that he was really wrong.

However, after Li Changfeng finished, brother Li said, "it's only you and second brother who are scared..."

Li Changfeng stared at little brother Li, "what are you talking about! Today, big brother is not looking for you everywhere! "

Little brother Li stopped talking and hung his head. Li Changfeng sighed, "OK, Lin Fangliang also told me about the situation here. Moreover, I've just met old Deng. I'm also down-to-earth. Do you want to go back with us or I'll go back for you."

Brother Li immediately chose the second, "thank you, second brother! It's very kind of you! "

"If you're okay, go home and have a look. After all, you haven't been married yet. You still have to do some things." Li Changfeng almost felt that he was worried. Before his children came out, he already knew how difficult it was to be a father.

"I see, and I'm thinking about my family. If I do more, my family won't be so poor." Little brother Li knows about the food problem at home. The three little ones are always arguing that they are not full. The little one is not sensible and wants to eat meat. He looks uncomfortable.

"OK, go back. I'll find my brother and make it clear when I go back." Li Changfeng asks brother Li to go back. He and Lin Fangliang waiting outside are looking for boss Li in the street.

When Li Changfeng and boss Li returned to the Li family yard, it was almost evening. After hearing Li Changfeng's words, the Li family were all excited.

"Is this true?! Little brother really took care of that man! What about the salary? " The most excited old lady Li asked Li Changfeng one after another.
