Chapter 11 Almost died

The conditions of the Fang family were not that good before. Even though the Li family seems to be richer now, it cannot be compared with the modern comfortable material life.

The bed I slept on was hard, the pillows made my head hurt, and the entire small space was filled with a strong medicinal smell.

At this moment, Fang Qingqing deeply realized the true meaning of the scholar being a medicine jar and a sick man.

The Fang family of the original owner was a true farmer. The whole family worked hard every day with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess, just to fill their stomachs.

Comparatively speaking, the Li family's life will be easier, as they are considered a wealthy family in Hongqiao Village.

The life of the Li family really got better, starting from the generation of the old man of the Li family. When he was young, the old man was a young man with a flexible mind and ability.

I learned a good craft outside, and in my spare time I made furniture and farm tools for others.

By the time Old Man Li was born, he was already a famous carpenter in the village. Many people would come to him when they wanted to make furniture for marriages or important events.

Without interrupting the work in the fields, I can still earn some money, and gradually accumulate a lot of wealth.

In the whole village, Lao Li's house with large blue bricks and tiles is particularly eye-catching.

The first two of the three sons are already married and have children, and the third one is still studying and doing very well. Everyone says that Mr. Li has a good life.

The eldest son inherited his good craftsmanship, and the family worked together to provide for the third son's education, except for the farm work and occasional outside work.

After Lisaburo won the first prize in the imperial examination and was admitted as a scholar, he suddenly became the man whom the girls in the village and even the whole township most wanted to marry.

What happened next made those girls and their families secretly grateful that they did not go to Li's house to propose marriage.

If you do that before you have even passed the exam, and get the reputation of being a bad guy, your life will not be easy in the future.

But this person can't be perfect in everything. The only bad thing about Lao Li's family is Li Laosan.

Many people sigh when talking about his physical condition. In the past, they thought it was just bad.

This time it really frightened everyone. It was just a cold wind, and most farmers with good bones would not even see a doctor.

Drinking more hot water, covering your sweat, and generally getting a good sleep will make you feel better. Who would be like a scholar who gets sick and becomes ill all over again?

Although Li Xiuping has woken up now, the situation was indeed critical before and many people saw it, so everyone praised the daughter of the Fang family for her prosperous life.

On the second day of their wedding, Li Xiuping woke up and was still a little confused.

Because he loves dreaming and sleeps lightly at night, he will wake up if there is the slightest noise, and he will be unable to fall asleep for a long time after that.

Last night, I had a rare good sleep. I slept comfortably until midnight. This was the first time in recent years.

Li Xiuping was still a little confused when he woke up. When he raised his head suddenly, he realized that something was wrong with the place where he slept, and it seemed that there was an extra person in the room?

After a while, I remembered that he was already married, and his new wife slept in his room last night.

Regardless of whether he wants the Fang girl to go back, at least for now, Fang Qingqing is still here.

She is already his wife in name, but Li Xiuping is not ignorant at his young age. At least he knows how to treat his wife more gently and considerately than others.

Just as he was thinking this, Li Xiuping saw Fang Qingqing sitting aside and looking at him with a smile, and then handed him a cup of tea.

Drinking tea early in the morning is not Li Xiuping's habit, but he saw his new wife's look of anticipation.

He didn't refuse, he took the cup of tea and drank it all in one go, thinking it was to rinse his mouth.

Li Xiuping didn't realize that he, who had been feeling out of breath since he woke up, fell asleep quickly after drinking tea last night.

Until now, he has been calm and has no problems.

Especially now, you actually feel like you are full of power?

Of course he didn't know that these were all due to Fang Qingqing. She spent all her hard-earned one thousand points to buy a small bottle of spiritual spring water in the middle of the night yesterday.

Simply mix it all into the tea, it will definitely have a better effect than just a few drops last night.

Although Lingquan water is not as powerful as pills in curing diseases, it can nourish the body and the effect is impressive.

Li Xiuping just speculated, could it be that the girl from the Fang family was really lucky and married to her to celebrate the occasion, so his health improved?

Li Xiuping realized belatedly that this time his mother was ill and rushed to the doctor to find him a young lady. Maybe it really worked.

In fact, according to Li Xiuping's idea, he didn't want to get married so early. He had only passed the childbirth examination before and then had to take the provincial examination.

The road to the imperial examination was long and the time and energy required should not be underestimated. The Li family devoted all their efforts to support his education.

Li Xiuping naturally has lofty ambitions. In his plan, he will wait until at least twenty years old before getting married.

But he didn't expect that his physical condition, which was only a little weak before, would turn out to be so poor. Even though he passed the examination to become a scholar, he did not go to a private school because of illness.

Now that he has a little daughter-in-law, for the first time, Li Xiuping is a little confused about his future.

Fang Qingqing didn't worry so much. After all, it was the second day of the wedding. The two of them walked out of the room together and planned to visit their parents/in-laws first.

Yesterday, Fang Qingqing was carried over by her fourth brother wearing a red hijab. Today, Fang Qingqing was in the mood to visit the entire Li family.

The courtyard of the Li family is not small, with a total of four large rooms that look like small suites in later generations, and two wing rooms at the back.

The population is also large. Except for Old Man Li, Old Lady Li, and Erlang Dalang are all married and have children. There is also a girl under Sanlang.

In total, there are more than ten people living together, and the yard is packed to the brim.

Moreover, in this era, after building a house, you could usually enclose the open space in front of and behind the house to create a large yard, like Li's house.

You can plant some vegetables, some fruit trees, etc., and you can also raise chickens, ducks, and pigs.

It can be seen that although Fang Qingqing's mother-in-law is just a peasant woman, she is quite interesting in life. In addition to growing vegetables and fruit trees, there are also some flowers and plants in the yard.

The other side was well taken care of, probably by my father-in-law’s skillful hands. The shelves were set up in the yard to display items, which looked neat and orderly.

Normally at this time, everyone would have had breakfast and gone out to work. Today is a special day, so everyone is waiting for Saburo and Saburo's wife.

There was smoke in the kitchen. Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li were making breakfast, while Xiaomei Li was feeding the chickens in the yard.
