Chapter 91 How could it be him?
On February 2, the dragon raises its head, washes the faucet, and eats the pig's head.
Since the county test is held on the third day of February, it is difficult to buy all kinds of livestock heads on the second day of the month.
Cheng Xue deliberately went to the meat stall to order the pig's head several days in advance, and started cooking it on the large stove in the west room from early in the morning. After cooking it for two full hours, the meat fell off the bones and the aroma was overflowing.
"alright?"
Seeing Li Hui swallowing his saliva, Cheng Xue smiled and nodded.
"Just saying that Li Heng is a greedy cat, I think I'll just follow you. Give this plate to Uncle Du next door first, and then you can go to Wang Sen's house."
The grandparents and grandsons of the Du family next door depend on each other, which is very pitiful. The two families have known each other these days. Mr. Du is enthusiastic and Du Pingren is sensible. Li Hui and Li Hui are very fond of them, and the other party also has a tacit understanding of dealing with them.
In the final analysis, it is all about laying the foundation for future connections.
Put the portion given to Wang Sen into the food box and take the rest to the main room.
"You're already in a hurry. Wash your hands and eat quickly. Your father will be back soon."
Just as he was talking, Li Hui brought back a plate of red dates.
"The old man said thank you. He didn't buy a pig's head, so you gave it to him as a gift."
"Let's eat. You still have to see Wang Sen off when you're done."
All the scientific examinations in the Liang and Yan dynasties were held in Shenshi Gongyuan on the first day, and Zishi began to answer the questions.
Cheng Xue didn't understand why she had to answer the question in the middle of the night. Li Hui explained it to her, but she was confused and simply stopped asking questions.
It’s not her exam anyway, she just needs to do a good job in logistics support!
Pointing to the packed food box, he told him:
"Send the person there and come back in Xiao Qinglin's carriage. You are not allowed to leave alone. Do you understand?"
Although this year's college examination will only start on March 3rd, he must be careful not to have any accidents during this period. If he hadn't had a really good relationship with Wang Sen, she wouldn't have let him go to see her off no matter what she said.
Li Hui understood her worries, nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I think he will come back after paying tribute to the Courtyard and won't hang around outside."
Seeing the children eating with their mouths full of oil, Li Hui raised the corners of his mouth.
The three children are no longer as malnourished as they were back then. They have all grown taller and fleshier, and Li Yue's appearance is also a bit spread out. I believe these two girls will be beautiful women in the future.
All he has to do is prepare enough dowry. The tension in the north has eased, and I believe there will be news in the second half of the year.
He plans to ask the tenants again next year and if the price is fair, he can sell it...
…
The five-day county examination is over, and some people are happy and some are sad.
Fortunately, Wang Sen and Du Pingren, whom Li Hui knew, both passed the test. As for Li Qingnian...
Because of filial piety, one cannot take scientific examinations.
"Are you sure? Li Fang is really dead?" Cheng Xue still couldn't believe it.
Not only did she not believe it, but other children in the family also did not believe it except Li Huai. Although Li Fang was in poor health, he would not die like that.
"Dad, who is in charge of the clan now? Is it the third grandfather?"
One year later, Li Yue has really grown up. He thinks about many things and can ask questions to the point.
Li Hui shook his head, "The patriarch is not your Third Grandfather, but your Uncle Qingchun!"
"Who?" Cheng Xue exclaimed, seeing him nodding, she couldn't believe it, "How could it be him? Doesn't the clan rule say that the clan leader must live past the age of forty?"
"That's the rule, but who said he was appointed by the mayor!"
Li Hui chuckled and told them in detail what he had heard.
This time, the clan made a huge fuss because of the clan leader. I wish I could have his head beaten into a pig's head.
Li Nan and Li Laosan refused to accept the other, and the other clan elders were watching from afar. In the end, Jiang Jianye had no choice but to ask the mayor to make a decision.
The mayor didn't know much about the Li clan, but he was deeply impressed by Li Qingchun's words and deeds when Li Xiang passed away, so he was appointed directly.
Having said this, Li Hui said happily:
"Fortunately, we both contributed when his father passed away, so any effort will be rewarded. Whether it is him or Li Laosan, whoever becomes the patriarch will be a good thing for our family. In the case of Li Qingchun... the benefits are even greater.
many."
At least for the good deeds that day, their brothers would protect the family in every way. Otherwise, the village's saliva alone would drown him.
Just as he was talking, Du Pingren's panicked voice came from the yard——
"Uncle, aunt, can you help me?"
Li Hui and Cheng Xue went down to the ground in tacit understanding, put on their shoes and ran out. Li Heng and Yan Yixin followed suit. Li Yue sat on the kang and coaxed his brother and sister.
Li Huai, who has just turned one year old, is now fully able to walk, but he still can't speak, and he still keeps clicking.
In the yard, Cheng Xue looked at Du Pingren, whose face was full of tears, and her heart shook.
"What's wrong, kid? What happened?"
"My grandpa, my grandpa has fainted. I want you to help me send him to Shengrentang."
Cheng Xue hurriedly left after hearing this. Li Hui asked Yan Yixin to go to the room to get the needle box, and then took Du Pingren home.
"Don't worry, your aunt has some medical skills. Let her see it first. If it doesn't work, we will go to Sheng Ren Tang."
While talking, he went back to the next door. Cheng Xue in the room had already begun to diagnose her pulse. Yan Yixin came over and put the needle box and bird's eye in her hand.
Soon, Cheng Xue took out the silver needle and injected it into the old man's Sanyinjiao, Zusanli and other acupoints.
Twisting lightly and applying slight pressure, repeated several times, and finally heard Mr. Du's voice of "Uh--".
Du Pingren stepped forward urgently and called softly——
"Grandpa, grandpa, I am Pingren, grandpa..."
Mr. Du finally slowly opened his eyes under his grandson's urgent call.
When he saw Cheng Xue pulling out the needle, he spoke with difficulty:
"I just... know, I know that you two are an extraordinary couple. Pingren, spend more time with your uncle and aunt in the future. They are all your nobles."
The old man spoke more and more fluently, which was a visible improvement to the naked eye. Just as he was about to sit up, Cheng Xue held him down.
"Don't move, you can't get up now."
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Mr. Du still wanted to show off his strength, but Cheng Xue shook her head helplessly and said:
"Uncle, just be obedient. Fortunately, Pingren discovered it in time this time, otherwise you would have spent the rest of your life lying on the kang."
The old man is not afraid of death if he lives to this age, but he is afraid of harming his grandson.
"Is it really...really that serious?"
Cheng Xue said "Yeah" and nodded heavily.
"Are you feeling dizzy these days when you wake up in the morning, and your mouth often feels dry?"
Mr. Du was said to be the target of the disease, so he didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Du Pingren was so angry when he saw this, he stood up suddenly and complained:
"I asked grandpa this morning why he didn't tell me? If it weren't for my aunt, how would you... let me live?"
The crying question immediately made Mr. Du at a loss.
"Good boy, grandpa is wrong. Grandpa will only listen to you from now on."
Du Pingren bit his lip, turned around and left the room angrily. Li Hui was worried about following him out, but Cheng Xue held down the excited old man.
"You, just be obedient. I will write a prescription later and you can ask Pingren to get the medicine. Take it for seven days first, and then I will show it to you. This is the wind in 'wind tuberculosis with bulging diaphragm', a big convulsion.
can not be ignored."
