The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Li Yu returned home, boiled the oil and put it into an oil can, fried a bowl of rice and started cleaning the wild boar's internal organs. As soon as they were washed and blanched, Li Mei came back with Li Qing and the two little girls. .

Li Yu saw Li Mei's eyes were red and swollen, Li Qing had an angry look on his face, and two little girls were pulling at the lapel of Li Mei's clothes with sad expressions.

Li Qing looked at Li Yu and complained angrily, "Sister, my aunt's mother-in-law is so cruel! She beat and scolded my aunt and told her to get out, and even scolded her for being a hen that occupies the nest and cannot lay eggs. When I got angry, I took her and her My cousin brought her back." After speaking, Li Qing looked at Li Yu anxiously, fearing that Li Yu would disapprove of him bringing back his aunt and two cousins.

Li Yu stepped forward and patted Li Qing, "Aqing, you did the right thing."

Li Qing pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this. Li Yu walked up to Li Mei who was sitting in a daze on the verandah, patted Li Mei on the shoulder and comforted him: "Aunt, no matter what decision you make, Ah Qing and I support it." you."

Li Mei looked up at Li Yu with sobs, her face full of tears, "Yu'er, aunt is just angry that your uncle can't say a word for us and listen to his mother in everything. The same sisters-in-law, the second son's family also has trouble She has two daughters. Just because her man is willing to speak up for her and someone from her mother's family is standing up for her, the old pious woman doesn't dare to make things difficult for her. If she hadn't been so hateful back then, why would your father have entrusted you to the Zhang family and caused you to be in trouble? The Zhang family has been tortured so much, and my aunt hates herself for why she didn't dare to come back from the Liu family in the first place, wuwu..."

Li Mei burst into tears. Li Yu looked at the fierce and straightforward Li Mei crying heartbrokenly, feeling sad and uncomfortable in his heart. He looked at the two cousins ​​standing behind Li Mei and persuaded Li Mei, "Aunt, don't be sad. , those are all things in the past. As human beings, we must look forward and leave behind what should be left behind. Now A Qing and I have returned home, and many things still need to be taken care of by you. Just look at your two cousins. You have to be more open-minded for your own sake.”

Li Mei wiped the tears from her face with sobs and looked at Li Yu a little embarrassedly, "Yu'er is right, my aunt still has you. Don't worry that my aunt will be nice and won't do stupid things."

Li Yu nodded and asked Li Qing to get a basin of water and bring it to Li Mei. He went to the kitchen and started cooking.

Li Mei washed her face and went to the kitchen. When she saw the pig offal in the basin, she asked strangely: "Yu'er, where did all these pig offal come from?"

Li Yu smiled faintly, "I came back from hunting in Xishan today. Uncle He, the butcher next door to the pork, has sold it for me, and only these internal organs are left."

Li Mei was horrified after hearing this, and hurriedly pulled Li Yu over and checked her body before she started to complain, "Why are you so brave? Every girl dares to go hunting in the mountains. Have you forgotten how your father left?" "

"I'm fine, aren't I?" Li Yu smiled, "Huang Yuan's wife's house in town will be setting up a flowing water mat for three days, and I also want to hunt some prey tomorrow morning and send it to Huang Yuan's wife's house.

"Auntie, there is a mountain ridge covered with wolfberry trees. You go to the bamboo craftsman's house and buy some more bamboo sheets and baskets. Tomorrow we will go to the mountain to pick wolfberry trees." Li Yu said and suddenly remembered that he had not asked Li Qing about school. thing, "Hey! Have Aunt Ah Qing's school affairs been settled? "

Li Mei thought that Li Qing could go to school, and finally felt happy that something had happened. "It was done. Zhou Xiucai taught Ah Qing to learn for a while, and then asked Ah Qing to recite it to him. After hearing this, he felt satisfied and accepted Ah Qing. Qing, Shu Xiu earns forty taels of silver a year, and if he eats lunch at his place, it will cost him five taels of silver a year. I don’t think there is a long way to go so I can let Qing go home to eat.”

After hearing this, Li Yu felt that it was very expensive. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, do you still need to buy the apprenticeship gift?"

Li Mei smiled and said, "This week's scholar is also interesting. The child's apprenticeship ceremony is complete with pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and books. He also said that we don't need to bother. They have them there and they are cheaper than outside, so I will buy them." I asked Ah Qing to buy it as a apprenticeship ceremony."

"Is it still possible to operate like this?" Li Yu felt that this Zhou Xiucai was either greedy for money or informal.

Li Mei took out the remaining silver and handed it to Li Yu, "Yu'er, this is the remaining silver."

"Aunt, I'll leave this money with you first. You can go to the carpenter's house and buy a cupboard and a bathtub, as well as a basket, a sunbathing mat and so on."

"Well, I'll sow the vegetable seeds before going out, and let your two cousins ​​help you light the fire and wash the vegetables."

Li Mei called her two daughters, pointed at them and smiled at Li Yu: "These are your two cousins. The older one is called Zhaodi, and the younger one is called Laidi." Then she said to the two sisters, "This is your cousin Yu." .”

The two children whispered to Li Yu, "Cousin Yu."

After Li Yu agreed, he smiled and said, "Cousin, let's call each other by names from now on!"

The two sisters smiled timidly and nodded. At this time, Li Qing came back carrying the washed taro.

Li Yu made a braised pork intestine, stir-fried pork liver, and fried rapeseed. Everyone's mouths were full of oil. Li Qing touched his round belly and said, "Sister, it's so delicious. You can see that my belly is full."

Li Mei patted Li Qing's hand gently and said, "Ah Qing, don't touch your stomach after you just ate. Go take a few steps to eat."

Li Qing smiled and responded, "I understand, aunt."

After dinner, Li Mei went to the village to buy things. Zhao Di and Lai Di rushed to wash the pots and dishes. Li Yu stewed pig lungs in the pot and asked Li Qing to carry a hare and pheasant to Chen Yaohui's house.

Li Yu saw that Zhao Di and Lai Di's clothes were very old, so he took out the remaining cloth and asked Zhao Di with a smile, "Zhao Di, can you make clothes?"

Zhaodi nodded shyly and said softly: "Yes, cousin,"

Li Yu put the cloth next to Zhao Di, "Then I'll leave these cloths to you and make new clothes for us. There are still cloth ends in the bags in the house. You can go and get what you need."

"Cousin, do Laidi and I want to do it too?" Zhao Di looked at Li Yu and thought she had heard wrong.

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "You and your cousin both have it."

The two sisters looked at Li Yu with red eyes, "Thank you, cousin."

At this time, a woman dressed in fancy clothes stood at the door and asked, "Is this the Li family?"

"Yes, who are you looking for?" Li Yu looked at her and asked.

The mother-in-law walked into the yard and looked at Li Yu with a "giggle" smile, "Miss Li, I am the matchmaker Zhao in the town. Mrs. Chen in the town invited me to propose marriage to Miss Li for her son Chunsheng."

Li Yu frowned and looked at Matchmaker Zhao, thinking: We just got home and someone came to propose marriage. It's not because of the Zhang family's mischief.

Li Yu looked at Matchmaker Zhao coldly, "No one in our family wants to marry me. I'm afraid you've made a mistake."

Matchmaker Zhao said anxiously: "You can't be wrong. Mrs. Chen said that she lives in Xishan Village and only two siblings are left in the Li family. I asked all the way."

Li Yu was even more sure that the Zhang family was responsible. He pulled Matchmaker Zhao and walked outside, looking at her coldly, "Then you go back and tell Mrs. Chen that no one in the Li family wants to marry."

Matchmaker Zhao saw that Li Yu didn't even give her a sip of water and drove her out. She blushed angrily and shouted: "Little girl, you are just a person who has been rejected. Now if someone wants you, it's because you had a high fever in your previous life." It smells good, I came to propose marriage with good intentions and yet you kicked me out, I bet you won’t be able to get married in the future.”

Li Yu looked at her and sneered, "Whether I can get married or not, I won't worry about it for you. You can just stay wherever it's cool!"

"Damn girl, just stay at home and be an old aunt for the rest of your life!" Matchmaker Zhao was so angry that she walked toward the village, cursing half to death.

Zhao Di and Lai Di looked at Li Yu, Lai Di said angrily, "Cousin, she doesn't look like a good person, just like my grandma."

After hearing this, Li Yu burst out laughing, "Laidi, is your grandma dressed like this too?"

Laidi gestured vividly, "Grandma is even better dressed than my mother. She makes a fool of herself all day long and scolds my mother and my sisters at every turn. She was still crying and wiping her tears when she saw Third Uncle. Baoyin of the family immediately smiled."

Zhao Di looked at Lai Di and laughed, "You're the weird one, why don't you dare say anything at home?"

Laidi rolled her eyes, "Tell me at home, it would be strange if grandma didn't beat me to death."

Li Yu looked at the two sisters, one active and the other quiet, and thought it was pretty good.

Suddenly I remembered that I had to build several rows of racks to dry the wolfberry trees, and that there were so many mosquitoes at night. I took the bamboo basket and machete and said to Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, I'll go chop the bamboo. You stay at home and look after the house. Come and cut some mugwort." Come back."

After hearing this, Laidi ran in and got a sickle, and pulled Li Yu familiarly, "Cousin, let's go!" Li Yu nodded and went to the wasteland outside the backyard with Laidi.
