Chapter 3 Family History

The Li family lives in Lijia Village, Chizhou Prefecture. It is a rich family in the countryside. My father is a boxer. This kung fu seems to have been handed down by my ancestors. About kung fu is also good, because it seems to be a little famous in ten miles and eight townships. They usually accept apprentices at home, and occasionally walk around at the invitation of others. Her mother is a scholarly girl who knows books. Dali is barely from a scholarly family. The three sons of the Li family have one daughter, the eldest Li Zongliang, the second Li Zongdong, the third Li Zongfu, and the youngest is Li Yaomei.

Last winter, the war between the State of Wu and South Vietnam burned into Lijia Village. In the middle of the night, Lijia Village did not know whether it was defeated by the State of Wu or the vanguard of South Vietnam and surrounded the village. Li's father took more than a dozen apprentices. Although he could fight, he could not defeat the generals with guns, arrows, armor and established soldiers, and was shot into a hedgehog. His mother was also shot to death. Among the three brothers, two small ones were killed. More than 300 people in the whole village finally escaped. Li Yaomei was carried by her eldest brother and hit in the head by a wooden stick that flew out of nowhere. She was stunned until one night, in a broken temple, Li Xiaoyao woke up in this body. Come here.

Li Xiaoyao, in fact, is Li Yaomei. Naturally, she is a little woman. She is 14 years old this year. She was born on the tenth day of May. After her death, she insisted on pretending herself as a boy. Her name was also changed from the youngest sister to Xiaoyao. She is the youngest one. Wu Di's custom, the youngest is called Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao found it for herself. After a lot of work, she went to Changfeng Building to sell Ajiao dates. They made 20 big money by selling a catty of Ajiao dates. She made at least 40 big money, but she sold them faster than others. In Changfeng Building for a few days, as long as her dates were not sold out, other boys' dates would not be sold.

Because of this, several boys who had been selling dates in Changfeng Building blocked her in the back alley and wanted to teach her a lesson. It was better to beat her out of Changfeng Building, but she shouted at her brother Li Zonggui, who worked in the kitchen. Several people were beaten by Li Zonggui's fist and feet, and the shopkeeper of Changfeng Building was biased. She and several boys had to admit this. Fortunately, Li Xiaoyao only sold five catties of dates a day, and he didn't sell any more, but he didn't let everyone lose much. Gradually, everyone got used to it and waited for her to sell the dates before starting business every day.

Li Zonggui's little son is Li Xiaoyao's cousin who didn't wear five clothes. His father died since he was a child. His mother remarried after two years. Xiaozong's father took him to his own home and raised him with his children.

Guizi looks like a monkey, and he really has some monkey strengths. He has a flexible mind, reacts very quickly, and his ears are particularly easy to use. He speaks much faster than others, but he doesn't talk much. A few days after he arrived at Taiping Mansion, he first found a meat case and bone-clearing job in the kitchen of Changfeng Building, and Li Xiaoyao also followed him. , just went to Changfeng Building to sell Ajiao dates.

Wei Shuisheng was originally a son of a rich family, but Li Xiaoyao is not sure whether the rich man they said was the rich or not. Anyway, Shuisheng has never had his own girl, or there is no girl in his family at all. However, Wei Shuisheng has had a wet nurse. Wei Shuisheng has been smart since he was four or five years old. I invited my husband home to teach him. I was looking forward to him coming back as a scholar. It was also Guangzong and Yaozu. But Wei Shui grew up to be 11 or 12 years old and didn't want to study again. He was single-minded to be a chivalrous man. Listening to Li's village, he sneaked out to learn martial arts. It was because of this that he picked his life. The Wei family was next to him. In the year when Wei Shuisheng ran to Lijia Village, the two countries were fighting. When a defeated soldier passed Zhuangzi, he robbed the Wei family and then set off a fire. The family mistakenly picked out Wei Shuisheng's life. Since then, Wei Shuisheng has become a member of the Li family.

When Wei Shuisheng sits alone, he always exudes a little sadness. He doesn't say much, speaks gently, and he is also polite like a scholar. After all, after reading books for so many years, compared with Erhuai and Guizi, he is much more elegant and calm. The noble son talks about his kung fu. Very good, the move was accurate and fierce, much better than him, but the little one didn't have a chance to see him do it. She only saw Guizi beating people very well.

Wei Shuisheng wrote good words. After the Spring Festival, he found a job to copy books in the bookstore. After selling dates, Li Xiaoyao went to him to drink tea and read books.

Li Erhuai is a child picked up by Xiaoyao's father. When he arrived at the Li family, he was only two or three years old. He temporarily followed the surname of Li. Because he was picked under two locust trees, he named him Erhuai. Originally, he said that when he became an adult, he would take him back to find his parents and brothers. If he could find it, it would be easy to recognize his ancestors, but according to Li Xiaoyao It seems that Erhuai is satisfied with the surname Li Ji, and he has no intention of recognizing his ancestors.

Li Erhuai is strong, strong, has a large amount of food, and is also very able to endure hardships. Among several people, he does all the work, or the dirty work is done by him. He is also extremely happy. Erhuai's hands are also clever. He can weave straw shoes, baskets, bamboo mats, and even some simple carpentry work. It's stable, and there's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't make people feel exquisite. No matter how you look at it, it lacks aura.

Erhuai has a lot of clumsy words. The more he wants to flatter and praise, the more he says, the more stuffy it is. It is a famous stinky locust.

The eldest brother's name is Li Zongliang, who is the eldest brother of Li Xiaoyao's direct relatives. Li Zongliang and Li Erhuai are now working as clerks in a grain industry. Li Zongliang is quick to respond, clear accounts, and his mind is extremely refreshing. He is already a small account of the grain bank. Erhuai is simple-minded and would rather work hard than worry about it. He earns money in the grain industry, because special Don't be honest and particularly willing to do it. The top and bottom are very popular.

When Li Xiaoyao woke up in the broken temple, everything else was fine, but her legs were not aware of anything. Several people took her to Chizhou Prefecture for medical treatment first. Dr. Wan of Chizhou Prefecture said that the meridians were blocked and asked them to go to Taiping Prefecture to find Dr. Wang, the master of the magic needle, for treatment. Several people rushed from Chizhou Prefecture to Taiping Mansion, in Dr. Wang After several months of acupuncture, he finally saved Li Xiaoyao's legs. When Li Xiaoyao's legs were good, several people had stabilized in this Taiping Mansion.

Wei Shuisheng took a few bags of cooked vegetables and followed Li Xiaoyao all the way into the yard.

"Look at Xiaoyao's happy, what's the happy thing?" Mrs. Shen, who lives next to Li Xiaoyao, bent down to cook, turned her head to look at Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng, and greeted them with a smile:

"A guest rewarded me with some money today!" Li Xiaoyao jumped into the yard and replied happily. Li Erhuai was squatting in front of the pot under the porch, holding a few hemp poles to cook. Cooking like this is Li Erhuai's unique skill. He boiled the rice on high heat, then replaced it with a handful of hemp poles. After boiling it for half a quarter of an hour, a pot of rice will be ready. The aroma is not to mention the pot full of golden yellow. Crispy is Li Xiaoyao's favorite delicacy. Li Xiaoyao jumped to Li Erhuai, bent down to his ear, and whispered, "Brother Erhuai, I made a lot of money today. I bought you three catties of stir-fried lungs from Zhang Ji!"

Erhuai suddenly sucked her saliva, turned her head, and coveted three feet: "I said that the younger sister is the best!"

"Xiao Yao! If you call it wrong again, you won't have to eat it!" Li Xiaoyao stamped his feet with hatred and turned into the room.

Wei Shuisheng had entered the room and put the lotus leaf bag in his hand on the table. The eldest brother Li Zongliang was carefully remembering the account, quickly put down the pen and stood up, turned around and took a few big bowls. The two opened the lotus leaf bag and shook the vegetables into the big bowl. Li Zongliang saw Li Xiaoyao coming in, hurriedly turned around and raised his chin to signal * *'S burden: "The first sister, go and have a look. Grandma Sun asked someone to bring you clothes again." Li Xiaoyao jumped to the bed, opened the bag, shook out a green skirt and a light green shirt, folded it carefully, and sighed, "I'm a man now. I can't wear a skirt!"

Li Zongliang looked at Wei Shuisheng with a helpless smile. Wei Shuisheng looked at the burden and said with emotion, "The younger sister is blessed. Last year, we lived in Chizhou City for only a few days, and Grandma Sun hurt the younger sister to the heart. In the past half a year, she has brought four or five clothes."

"No, thanks to Uncle Sun, we can go to this Taiping Mansion smoothly and heal the younger sister's leg." Li Zongliang also sighed. Li Xiaoyao wrapped up the burden and exposed a pair of new shoes under the burden. Li Xiaoyao picked it up and asked, "Are these shoes also brought by my grandmother? It's too big, this needle angle•••••”

Li Zongliang turned his head and saw the shoes. His face turned red and said awkwardly, "No, that was sent by Mrs. Liu."

"Oh•••••" Li Xiaoyao looked at the eldest brother and asked in a long voice, "It's so big that it's definitely not for me. Who is it for?"

Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Zongliang and the shoes in Li Yaomei's hand, and also smiled and coaxed: "The little sister brought it over and let me try it to see if it fits."

"That's what Mrs. Liu made for the eldest brother! It's none of your business!" Erhuai clapped his hands and came in, came to the table, reached out and threw a piece of fried lung slices into his mouth, chewed loudly, and said, Li Xiaoyao patted the shoes in his hand, walked to Li Zongliang, touched him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really like her?"

"No!"

"Real no?" Li Xiaoyao looked up at his eldest brother. He asked seriously, "You can't be eloquency! If you really don't like it, I will send these shoes back to others?

"Send it back. I just wanted to send it back. Seeing that Uncle Liu hasn't come back yet, she is alone in her house. She is afraid of causing gossip and doesn't dare to go there. You can send it back." Li Zongliang's voice was calm and didn't care. Li Xiaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief. The Liu Hong girl was good-looking, cutting her shoulders, snake waist, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, but her lips were thicker, and she was kind and had no bad intentions. To be precise, she had no heart at all. She was so stupid that she was just a 'stupid', but she was not worthy of her eldest brother. , this marriage is a very cautious thing. A good daughter-in-law, three generations of good descendants, such a stupid woman who is speechless and can't even make a pair of shoes. No matter how good she is, she can't be Li Xiaoyao's sister-in-law!

"Then I'll go?"

"Go ahead, don't delay, and come back for dinner quickly." Li Zongliang told him that Li Xiaoyao agreed, took his shoes out of the door and went to Liu's house.
