Chapter 204 If you want a horse to run, give it grass to eat!

Li Laosi loved his daughter the most, and after hearing these words, he finally felt a little more favorable to this eldest brother whom he had met for the first time.

He reached out to take his daughter and wanted to rub her little face a few times. He remembered the spatula his wife had just brandished, so he quickly stopped thinking and could only kiss her carefully.

“Of course, my daughter is the best in the world.”

Mrs. Li couldn't see how he was showing off, so she said, "Go and ask for Doctor Zhang. If the village chief and your Uncle Zhao are here, they will also be invited. From now on, your eldest brother will always come to the village and let the old men recognize him, so as to save the future." Being kept outside as an outsider.”

“I got it, mother.”

Li Laosi put down his daughter and left. Jiayin opened her legs and ran to the next door.

Mrs. Cui came to stay for a while yesterday and heard a few words about the Li family finding their eldest son. At the moment, she was talking and sewing with Sister-in-law Qiong.

As a result, good news came running in, "Sister-in-law, aunt-in-law, uncle, come and sit down, go and sit down!"

Mrs. Cui hugged her into her arms, pulled off the handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile: "Fat girl, where did the sweat droplets escape from my forehead? My aunt made it for you. A little hat to protect you from the sun, do you want it?”

“Yes!” Jiayin’s eyes shone with joy, she didn’t want to show off her yin and yang face again.

Mrs. Cui loved her little appearance so much that she hugged her and kissed her, and then put a new hat on her.

The hat is made of thin copper wire as a frame, and the inside and outside are sewn with silky and cool satin, embroidered with beautiful flowers, and surrounded by light gauze.

It can be tied to the brim of the hat on weekdays. If there are mosquitoes and dust, it can be put down and turned into a curtain to block it.

Jiayin liked it so much that she walked around the ground twice with her little hands behind her back.

She was already fat, but she looked like a big white goose wandering around, which made Mrs. Cui and Sister-in-law Qiong laugh to tears.

When Mrs. Cui brought the good news to Li's house, she happened to meet Mr. Li who had invited Dr. Zhang, the village chief and other old men.

Li's courtyard immediately became lively, with more than a dozen people crowded in.

The doorman in the house, Mrs. Li, simply asked her son to get small stools and put them under the eaves of the corridor, while talking and blowing in the wind.

Dr. Zhang had a quick temper. When he saw Yuan Wang, he took his pulse directly, then inserted a gold needle quickly, then closed his eyes and rested, not caring about anything else.

Jiayin was naughty. When he saw the old man’s white beard blowing in the wind, he ran over quietly, pulled off two strands, and ran away.

Divine Doctor Zhang shivered in pain, jumped up and chased after her, "Little fat girl, you don't want to live anymore? When I catch you, I will make you a hedgehog!"

Jiayin wished she had four legs and giggled while running.

Everyone was very amused when they saw the old man and the young man running all over the place.

Jiayin’s short legs were not strong enough and she was finally caught.

Seeing that her little **** was about to suffer, she quickly took out a candy ball from her purse and stuffed it directly into the old man's mouth, "Grandpa, eat candy!"

Sure enough, the old man snorted coldly, but did not slap her. He hugged her and sat back down, slowly feeling the fruity and sweet taste in his mouth.

Jiayin stuffed one for herself and lay on the old man’s lap with a smile.

Because of their commotion, the tension and unfamiliarity between everyone and Wang Yuanwai disappeared.

The village chief and others looked at Yuan Wang and said with a smile, "This child looks different from the second child."

Mrs. Li said, "He is like his father, and the others are like me."

"No wonder," the village chief nodded and told Yuan Wang, "Don't worry if you can't remember. Get cured first. Your mother and brothers don't care whether you come home or not. No matter where you live, as long as you are safe If you are healthy, they will be happy.” Wang Yuanwai was heart-warmed and stood up to salute again.

No one asked Wang Yuanwai how he lived in the city, whether he was rich or poor. They only talked about trivial matters in and outside the village for a long time.

Mrs. Li thought of the shop in Luo'an town and the book boy of her eldest grandson, and said: "Village chief, Jiaren went to Luo'an Academy to study. The fourth child said that the students there all have book boys. The academy is big and there are many people there. It’s also convenient for running errands and doing chores. I’m thinking of finding one for Jiaren in the village.”

"This is a good thing!" The village chief nodded repeatedly and responded: "There are many smart boys in the village. Choosing one to follow Jiaren will also broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge."

Uncle Zhao and others also said, "Er Gouzi and Xiao Shitou are both good."

Old Mrs. Li said: "San Aunt Wu heard a few of our gossips and wanted to send Gou Sheng'er there. The child had suffered a lot before and was a little timid. The academy is full of scholars. Maybe the child can improve his temperament in a few years. ”

The village chief and Uncle Zhao all suddenly understood.

"Yes, forget about the dog Cheng'er. This child is indeed more suitable. It's just that his parents have to teach him chores such as washing and cooking. There is only one child in his family, and I'm afraid he can't do anything."

“He’s a smart boy. He works as a waiter in the valley, and there’s nothing wrong with him.”

Everyone said a few words and the matter was settled.

Mrs. Li added: "This child works as a bookboy for Jiaren. Of course, our family will provide food, drink, and clothing. We will also give him some pocket money every month. The amount will be discussed between our family and his parents."

"Sure," the village chief waved his hand, "your family has always done things properly."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "One size is one size. Let's agree in advance to avoid hurting the peace in the end."

Li Laosi went to the kitchen and brought out two plates of cherries. Many people in Dahuaishu Village next door had planted cherry trees. It was in season at this time, and you could buy a small basket for a few pennies.

Children from the big locust tree are often brought over to sell the food. Every family is so greedy that they buy it every few days.

Everyone was eating cherries, and good news came to them, but they were defeated after eating only one.

This is an empty cherry tree that has not been grafted or evolved. It looks good, but the taste is really unflattering.

The old lady was afraid that she would cause trouble, so she held her in her arms. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "Village chief, the hot spring valley has been open for almost a month and has made a lot of money. Should we give everyone part of the wages? Every household I have invested almost all my money in it. I don’t have any money on weekdays to buy some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, or some snacks for my children.”

The village chief was stunned for a moment and hit his head with the pipe pot in his hand.

"Oh, my brain is broken! Why can't I remember anything? The day before yesterday, I told Lao Zhao and the others that Jia Ren Jia Shu Xiu was afraid he didn't have any money, so he asked his second brother to do the math and give everyone some wages. Well, why did you just throw it behind you?"

Uncle Zhao and others also laughed, "We thought you had already said it."

The old lady was afraid that the village chief would become anxious, so she quickly advised him, "We originally had Shu Xiu from Jiaren at home, and the reason why he wanted the wages was for something else."

“What’s the matter, aunt, is the family encountering difficulties?” Mrs. Cui asked, “I have money here.”

Even Wang Yuanwai asked, "I also have..."

Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "It's not a big deal. There is a good shop over there at the academy. I want the third child and his family to sell some food. This will help the family earn more money, and also take care of Jiaren."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a good thing. I am blessed because my family misses him so much."

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "I'll come over that night and I'll figure it out with my second son. When it's time, we'll start paying for everyone's wages. We have to let everyone taste the sweetness so that they can work harder."

Everyone laughed, "Yes, if you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass."
