Crossing the green wheat ears

Chapter 61 Big Swallow

The next day, Xiyuan told Xi Mingwen the whole matter about Wei Cheng. Xi Mingwen was relieved, and he didn't want to talk about Wei Cheng, and he didn't want Cheng Zi to grow up as far as Xiaoyuan was concerned.

Li Tao's matter was also easy to solve. Xiyuan went to Dr. Li's house, and asked Li Tao in detail to clarify the matter.

It turns out that Li Tao is fine. In summer, he always likes to hang out with those people who herd geese and ducks in Dongdagou. The field of the old Zheng’s family in Hezeng Village in the east happens to be there. Li Tao and the eldest daughter of the old Zheng’s family see each other every time they come and go. .

The eldest daughter of the Zheng family is average in appearance, but she is quite tall, in good health, and able to work, but she is more powerful and is well-known in the village.However, her family is not as poor as usual. The two elder brothers above have not married a wife when they reached their age, and the family can't even afford half a dowry.So her parents have been worried for a few years, and now the son is in his twenties, let alone getting married. Fortunately, when the girl grows up, the couple put their ideas on the girl, and together they want more dowry when they marry a girl. so that he can marry his son a daughter-in-law.

Dayan, that is, his daughter, heard what her parents said to the matchmaker, and she cried at that time. The so-called hero is short of breath. No matter how powerful you are, you have to bow your head in front of reality. what's the function?The two elder brothers originally hoped that the younger sister would get married so that they could remarry their mother-in-law, but now that the younger sister disagreed, they stopped talking to her, and her parents also felt that she was ignorant and inconsiderate of the family.

Farmers live in a similar way, and their sons marry their wives according to the local market. Those who really spend money to marry their sons must have some problems.Dayan herself was worried for many days, and happened to meet Li Tao while cutting wheat in the field during the wheat harvest.

Originally, she looked down on Li Tao, and she was a little embarrassed to dislike him, but although Li Tao is a bit idle, he is not a bad person, and his father is a doctor. In villages far and near, if anyone has a patient, he will ask Dr. Li to see him.

Dayan weighed it for a long time, instead of marrying the person introduced by the matchmaker who doesn't know what's wrong with her, she might as well marry Li Tao, who she knows better.With the helplessness of life, she had to compromise, and, Dr. Li is a doctor after all, it is estimated that the family can spend ten taels of silver as dowry money.

From the day she made up her mind, Dayan deliberately got close to Li Tao. Li Tao was originally in the village, and the girls didn't want to talk to him. The woman treats him well, Li Tao is so happy that he can't find Bei.

The two of them flirted with each other until winter, when Li Tao had nothing to do, he crossed Dongdagou to Hezeng Village for a stroll and dated Dayan.There was also a man introduced by the matchmaker at Dayan, and Dayan's heart turned cold when he saw it: it was either a widower in his 40s or [-] years old, or someone with a problem with his hands and feet, and some half-fools, which made Li Tao more determined to marry him. her determination.

Li Tao was coaxed, but when he mentioned the dowry money to Li Tao, when Li Tao went home and told Dr. Li, Dr. Li also made trouble.Except for the medical treatment, he was in a mess every day in other things. When he heard that the woman's family wanted so much money, he was dumbfounded.

It's not that he never thought of borrowing from Xiyuan, but he taught Xiyuan to learn medical skills. In this case, asking others to borrow money is almost the same as asking for money. The Xi's house has just finished building a house, so there is still a famine. I can't even open my mouth.

In addition, it would be fine if Xiyuan was really his apprentice, but the problem is that Xiyuan has been learning from him up to now, and he can see that his children don't care about his craft at all.

Every time Dr. Li sees Xiyuan, he hesitates to open his mouth. As soon as Li Tao comes home, he will mess with him. Dr. Li can only scold his son in anger, what a mess at home!

Li Tao sees that every time Xiyuan goes to his house, he acts as if nothing has happened. How angry, your family built a big house and came to take advantage of our family. He didn't say anything, so he took all his grievances on Xiyuan.

The point is that Xiyuan doesn't know about this. Every time I go to Dr. Li's house, Dr. Li and his daughter are there. Sometimes Li Tao is at home by chance, and when he sees Xiyuan, he snorts, and then he doesn't know where to go. Usually, Dr. Li's house No one came to chat, so, if Dr. Li didn't say anything, Xiyuan had no way of knowing.

Dayan over there is also in a hurry, his parents are anxious to marry her off so that they can marry their son, if she hadn't made a scene twice and spoken harshly to the family, or if she didn't follow her heart, she would die and let them marry him. With no money or people, his parents may have taken over the gift money from others.It dragged on like this for more than half a year, and now seeing that it couldn't go on, she was so anxious that she and Li Tao cried several times.

Li Tao did the same, his father refused to talk to Xiyuan, he was jumping high with his father at home today, and Xiyuan came.Xiyuan asked Dr. Li and Li Tao what was going on in detail, and assured Dr. Li that he would take care of Li Tao's marriage. Waiting to sit on the kang and drink his son's hi bar.

It doesn’t take much money to buy banquet furniture here. The furniture that ordinary people give their daughter-in-law is just two wooden boxes and a dressing table. Even after the banquet, it only costs about one tael of silver. Since the more are spent, the less is generous. a handful.

Dr. Li felt a little sorry, how could he ask his apprentice to spend so much money on the master's family, besides, Xiyuan was not his apprentice.

Xiyuan was secretly thinking about Le Na, this matter can be resolved in this way, Li Tao's marriage is an opportunity, whether to learn medical skills from Dr. Li, who has troubled Xiyuan for a long time, will someone say that he Taking advantage of the Li family, Dr. Li's family doesn't need anything else, just those few ancestral prescriptions, if you want to sell them, it's more than ten taels of silver!In order to prevent people from talking about it, Xiyuan thought that he could pass on this medical skill to the descendants of the Li family in the future, but no matter what, it would be beneficial for him and the Xi family.

He is really not short of money now, his own private house money is enough for Li Tao to marry a wife, but this is a matter of face for his parents, and it is better to let the family members come forward.

He saw Dr. Li's concerns, so he wanted to settle the matter once and for all. Besides, he had inquired that the girl Li Tao was looking for was a formidable girl, so Xiyuan planned to confirm the relationship between him and Dr. Li as a teacher-student.

Therefore, choosing a good day, Xiyuan officially worshiped Dr. Li as his teacher, and promised that after Li Tao got married and had children, he would choose a suitable child and teach him the medical skills of the Li family, which can be regarded as repayment.

Dr. Li was so happy that he got drunk that day. In his life, he never expected to receive such a good apprentice, nor did he expect to marry his son a daughter-in-law. , My own home should live like a home.

Not to mention Li Tao, he went to Hezeng Village that day and told Dayan the good news. When he came back, he didn't squint when he saw Xiyuan, and called "Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan" more affectionately than anyone else.

Li Tao's marriage was arranged by the Xi family, and Xi Mingwen and Xi Mingwu gave it to Zhang Luo. The farmer's family didn't pay much attention. Yan married into the door.

People in the village saw that the Xi family had contributed money and efforts, and they all lamented that Dr. Li had been able to see it once in his life and recruited a good apprentice. My man, sometimes he took the right step, and his life was completely different. up.

Not to mention, Li Tao really has that kind of shit luck. Although Dayan is a powerful person, he is reasonable and knows how to live.First of all, she put Li Tao under control as soon as she passed the door. She wanted to do nothing but wander around in the village without doing business?There are no doors.

Although it was a bit late, Dayan still went to Wande Town to buy fifty ducklings and goose chicks from others, and came back to raise them, and usually she or Li Tao would release them.All kinds of vegetables were planted in the vegetable garden, and Li Tao and he tidied up the ditches and terraces neatly.

Then Dayan planned to rent out the three-acre field of the family to someone else, and she would plant it by herself after autumn. She also planned to grow a crop of early-ripening vegetables like other families in the village next year.

The courtyard of Dr. Li’s house is not as bad as it used to be. Some places are so deserted that grass grows. Dayan commanded Li Tao to clean it up with her. The places with weeds were carefully cleaned up. Watching Although the courtyard is dilapidated, it is much tidier.

Sister Li Tao sees that her sister-in-law is so capable, so she also follows her busy schedule. She grows up so big, her father knows how to drink besides seeing a doctor, and her brother doesn't stay at home every day, and doesn't want to live a life. Now that her sister-in-law is here, everyone in the family It's reassuring to see her changed, so she and her sister-in-law naturally get close.

Dayan also comes to work. She usually does needlework whenever she has free time. Not only did she do it for Dr. Li’s family, but she also made a pair for each of the grandparents of the Xi’s family. It is from the hands of people with good work.

Dayan has her own considerations, and Li Tao has to live with her to lead her to move forward. She is also a girl with limited knowledge. She wanted to marry Li Tao before, only because of the small population of Dr. Li's family and the ability to afford the dowry money.

It wasn't until they got married that they realized that the money they needed to get married was all given by the Xi family, because the eldest son of the Xi family was Dr. Li's apprentice.

Although the situation of Li Tao's family is not as she expected, Dayan is confident that she can climb up to the Xi family, a family that can live a good life. Gained confidence and didn't feel lost at all.

Normally, Dayan took Li Tao's sister to the Xi's house to find Xi Yuan's mother, or the old lady chatted, and the relationship between Dr. Li's family and the Xi's family was brought closer.

Another credit to Dayan is that she now controls Dr. Li's drinking.In the past, Dr. Li would get drunk every time he had a drink. If you didn't let him drink well, he would greet you with a walking stick.

Now the daughter-in-law at home has stipulated for him the amount of drinking that he must drink every day, and a little more is not enough. You are not angry when you throw the dishes and bowls, Dayan, even if you hide the wine and don’t give it to you, Dr. Li can’t find it by himself. Well, his daughter and son don't help him either. His walking stick can beat others, but he can't beat his daughter-in-law. If it spreads, who will he be?

Therefore, Dr. Li is very depressed, but others are very happy.After a period of time, it can be seen that Dr. Li's complexion is obviously much better, and his whole body is full of energy, except that he occasionally thinks about drinking to make trouble for a while.

People in the village were amazed by the changes in the Li family. As the saying goes, a family has a good wife, and the husband does not do anything wrong. Li Tao was so stunned for two hundred and five, and he married such a good wife.

Xiyuan is also fortunate that Dr. Li's family has married a good wife, and now he can study medicine with Dr. Li with peace of mind.Dr. Li is free now, and when he has nothing to do, he has to go to the wild to look for herbs. Xiyuan looks at his legs and feet, and sometimes discusses with his grandfather to bring out the pea pods for Dr. Li to ride. So interspersed with the croissants that I borrowed from my second uncle's house twice.

Dr. Li had a donkey ride, and he was strolling leisurely in the fields at the end of spring. He felt that he had lived for so many years, and now is the most comfortable life. He happily chatted with Xiyuan, and Xiyuan followed with a bitter face. In the back, there is no way, Dr. Li has a donkey to ride, he can take a lot of steps.Xiyuan really regretted giving Dr. Li a donkey ride, but seeing how intoxicated Dr. Li was, Xiyuan made up his mind to buy a little donkey for Master in the future.

"Brother, brother, I want to eat lion's head." This day, Xi Yuan and Dr. Li went to the wilderness again, and Xi Wei ran over as soon as he got home.

"Why do you still want to eat this?" Xiyuan touched his younger brother's face, Xi Wei has grown up now, although not as fast as Wei, but Xiyuan can't hug him like before.

"I just want to eat." Xi Wei hugged his brother's arm and acted like a baby. In the past, his brother was at home every day, and he and his second brother would go around when he had nothing to do. Now Dr. Li called him out all day. He wanted to play with his brother for a while. No, originally he and his second brother went out twice, but wandering around in the wild is really boring, okay?

"Okay, okay, can we cook the dishes Xiaowei ordered?" Xiyuan patted Xiwei fondly, "Come on, call your second brother, let's go buy meat together."

The two younger brothers are both Xiyuan's heart and soul. Xiyuan sometimes thinks about it, Xi Wei and Wei Cheng, he is not so much a younger brother as a son to raise them. These two children make up for Xiyuan's previous life family. The lack of life made him feel the warmth of family affection.

The grandma in the yard smiled and watched the three younger brothers walking out of the yard, Xiyuan turned around and made a face for grandma, with such a warm home and relatives who are thinking about you, what else could he wish for in such a life!
