Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

On June [-]th, Zhang Shu was feeding the dogs in the yard, when suddenly the puppies stopped eating and ran out barking one after another.

Could it be that there are outsiders here?Zhang Shu walked out the door suspiciously, and found out that it was Li Yan and Zhou Nan who had returned!

The puppies came out to greet Xiaohu in a hurry when they smelled the little tiger's breath.

The faces of the two who haven't seen each other for a while are still pretty good, the joy on their faces is clearly visible, and they look at each other occasionally, and the love in each other's eyes can't be hidden.

"Come in and have a seat!" Zhang Shu greeted, and then wanted to call Li Mujin out.

"Not now. I haven't seen Father and Father for a long time. I want to take Zhou Nan to meet them." Li Yan said.Zhou Nan smiled at Zhang Shu, but didn't speak.

Zhang Shu nodded, he should go to see them first, "Okay, then Mu Jin and I will also go up later, he always remembers you in his heart."

Li Yan thought of Li Mujin, and grinned, "Okay, I'll let my father get some of his favorite food later, so you can go and eat."

After speaking, he took Zhou Nan up.Xiaohu, who was playing with the puppies, also followed.The puppies saw it go away, raised their legs and followed, but when they were about to leave the courtyard wall of Zhang Shu's house, they came back again, obviously they knew that they still had tasks to do.

Zhang Shu patted them on the head one by one, "What a group of good dogs."

The puppies licked his hand, their pure eyes full of trust.

Zhang Shu got up and went in, told everyone about Li Yan's return, then let Grandma Zhang and the others eat by themselves, and then helped Li Mujin to go out slowly.

When we arrived at Li's house, Aba Li was talking to Zhou Nan with a smile, and Zhou Nan replied very politely.The two got along very well.

Li Yan was killing hares in the yard. Father Li beat them yesterday. He was still alive today, but he didn't eat. Li Yan happened to bring him to entertain Zhou Nan.

After a few months of getting along, Xiaohu and Li Yan have already developed a deep relationship. When Li Yan killed the rabbit, it sniffed around cautiously.

"Brother!" Li Mujin called out to him, his face full of joy.

"Hey, I'm going home to eat old rice again!" Li Yan smiled brightly, but he had no good words in his mouth.

Zhang Shu was very helpless. When he was facing him, he said that he would prepare delicious food for Li Mujin. When the Lord came, he insisted on making him angry. Why?

He didn't have any brothers, so he naturally couldn't understand their mutual disgust and mutual care.

Li Mujin's face drooped, and after a while, she raised her smiling face again, "Haha, now there is one more person who can make the decision for me. When you marry your brother-in-law, let him and your father teach you a lesson." Biandi went to the main room.

Li Yan sneered, "Your brother-in-law listens to me for everything, so just sue!"

Zhang Shu glanced at him suspiciously. Judging from his performance last time, he didn't look like someone who could cheer up Fu Gang.

Li Yan quickly pulled off the hare's skin, and then handed it to Zhang Shu, "Your father-in-law doesn't want to stop now, you are good at stewing game, take this rabbit first Go stew."

What else can Zhang Shu say?Of course, the only thing to do is to take it obediently and then go to the kitchen.

Li Yan looked at the three people chatting enthusiastically in the main room, and didn't really want to go in and mingle. He patted Xiaohu's head and said to it, "Come on, Xiaohu, follow me to catch fish."

Xiaohu let out a "woof", then wagged his tail and looked at Li Yan, obviously interested in catching fish.

When the smell came out from the kitchen, Li Yan also brought back a bagful of small fish, and the few people who were sitting in the main room talking woke up like a dream.

Aba Li said, "Look at how stupid I am. I was so busy talking that I even forgot to cook. Just wait here, and I'll do it right away."

Li Mujin chewed the melon and said, "Let Ashu do it, it's fine."

"You, Shu, are better served with stewed cauldrons. Let him cook other side dishes, so don't embarrass him." Aba Li unceremoniously exposed Zhang Shu's old background. After speaking, he went to the kitchen .

Zhou Nan and Li Mujin followed to the yard and saw Li Yan was squatting next to a wooden stake to kill a small fish. He used the tip of a knife to scratch its belly lightly, then pinched and squeezed it, and all the things inside came out.

After a while, Zhang Shu was also driven out, and they sat in the shade of the yard and talked.

Zhang Shu asked, "Have your relatives been found?"

Zhou Nan shook his head, "No, we asked almost all the families in Zhangzhou Port, but no one has ever heard of my father's name. They must have gone to other places after they separated from my father."

At that time, the imperial court was in turmoil, people hid in Tibet, and many people left their homeland without knowing it.Some moved back after Taiping, while others stayed there forever.

Zhou Nan's face was not dark. After all, he was someone he had never met, and feelings need to be cultivated day and night. It would be a lie to say that you will feel sad for a relative you have never met.

At most, Zhou Nan had a little bit of regret for not being able to fulfill his father's wish, and nothing else.

During lunch, Grandpa Li also came down from the mountain. When he saw the little tiger in the yard, he laughed, "Whose dog does it belong to? It looks very clever. Next time let it go hunting on the mountain with me." .”

Seeing that he was patronizing the dog, Aba Li gave him a tug, motioning him to take a look at the person Li Yan brought back.Father Li quickly turned his head and saw Zhou Nan, "This is our son-in-law, right? Remember, if Li Yan bullies you next time, tell me and I will teach this boy a lesson."

Zhou Nan was a little embarrassed by his blunt address, but he still smiled and expressed his gratitude to Father Li.

……

Now that the man had come back, on the second day after Zhou Nan returned to his home, Abba Li took the matchmaker and things and went to their home to propose marriage.

The mountain road was difficult, so Li Yan and Zhang Shu carried these things to Zhou Nan's house on their backs.

Father Zhou agreed without any difficulty, and then raised the question of the dowry with a little embarrassment.

Abba Li said that his family is looking at this person, not his family background, and these are not important.

When he came here, he had already seen the environment here. It was very poor and unimaginable, and it was only a mountain away from them. will be so poor.

The Zhou family accepted the things from the Li family, and agreed on a date for the next appointment, and then the Li family began to prepare things intensively.

On the day of the appointment, a group of people came to Zhou's house with their belongings, made a scene of joy and then went back.

The wedding date was set on the eighth day of August, and the autumn harvest would be coming any later. At that time, everyone didn't have the time to worry about it.After the autumn harvest, the weather turned cooler and the mountain roads became more difficult to walk, so based on these considerations, their wedding schedule was still very tight.

Both sides are older in the village, so it's okay.On the eighth day of August, the guard of honor invited by the Li family went all the way up the mountain.

This kind of battle is very uncommon in this place called Hutouao. Basically, more than a dozen families in the village came to his house to watch the excitement.

Li Yan was not stingy either, and one of the spectators grabbed a handful of candies to make them feel happy too.

After a series of procedures, Li Yan also successfully put Zhou Nan on his back.Zhou Nan's family is poor, so of course they are unable to hold a wedding banquet. Zhou Nan's father sent back all the bride price as a dowry. He is alone, so why do he need so much money from his son?

Li Yan and Zhou Nan bid farewell to Father Zhou, and then went down the mountain amidst the chants of the guard of honor.

Even though Li Yan was in good health, it was still very tiring to carry a big living person down the mountain, but he didn't care at all, he held his arms tightly and couldn't let go for a moment.

When they arrived at the Li family's courtyard, it was lively, the red firecrackers were crackling non-stop, and everyone blocked the door, refusing to let Li Yan and the others enter.

Aba Li smiled and took out a cloth bag from inside, and asked Zhou Nan to share candies with them, and then he successfully entered the house.

The wedding room was Li Yan's house, but it had been completely refurbished before they got married. Red was hung everywhere, and a dressing table, cabinets and other things were added inside, all freshly made.

The bed is covered with a red hundred sons and grandchildren quilt, and the flowers embroidered on it bloom side by side, which makes people feel festive.

Sitting on the bed, Zhou Nan felt the kind eyes of relatives, and tried her best to look generous.

After the crowd dispersed, Li Mujin and his uncle's cousins ​​sat here to accompany the bed. Everyone said this, and the strangeness disappeared immediately.

For some reason, the topic suddenly turned to Li Muzhen's stomach. His stomach was seven months old, and it seemed that there was a big watermelon inside. He looks very much like a rich man.

Li Muzhen's cousin is named Tao Lanlan. She put her hand on Li Muzhen's belly and touched it through her clothes for a while, then she exclaimed, "It's moving inside! Does he know that I'm his aunt?"

Everyone was amused by her childish words, how can there be such a smart child who can recognize people through the stomach?

"Brother Mujin, how did you put him in your stomach? When will he come out? I asked my sister-in-law, but she didn't tell me."

Li Mujin was a little embarrassed, how could he talk to a young girl about having a baby?

The others laughed again, making Tao Lanlan puzzled, did he tell two jokes?How can I make everyone laugh?

She pouted and snorted before running out, so as to save everyone from seeing her as a joke.

The banquet in the evening was big, with more than a dozen tables set up in and out of the yard, and the banquet began when the two of them had celebrated the rituals of heaven and earth.

As his brother-in-law, Zhang Shu naturally did his part to accompany the toast. For the happiness of his uncle, he, Yu Xiaoliu and his uncle's two cousins ​​almost refused to come to this evening. In the end, Li Yan They happily entered the bridal chamber, but they were so drunk that they lay in the guest room of Li's house and slept in a row.

Early the next morning, Zhou Nan got up to make breakfast for everyone, and then served tea and gave gifts. Li Mujin got two copies alone, because he had one in his stomach, which made him smile happily.
