Li Family

"Sister-in-law, if you want to go to the ground, let me help you." Li Mingmei came in and said.

Zhao Yunlan glanced at Li Mingmei. In her memory, Li Mingmei must be under twelve years old! In this day and a half of recognition, the little girl Li Mingmei is really capable. She is busy from inside to outside, has no time to spare, is neat in doing things, and has a good personality.

good.

Zhao Yunlan nodded in response. In fact, she had wanted to go to the toilet for a long time, but she had been thinking and diverted her attention a little. When Li Mingmei said it, she felt like she couldn't hold it in.

Zhao Yunlan pressed his weight of 150 to 60 kilograms heavily on Li Mingmei, and watched as Li Mingmei's hands were turned white and she still held on.

Li Mingmei brought an unused rotten wooden bucket to Zhao Yunlan for convenience in the morning. At this moment, Zhao Yunlan couldn't care about anything else and just wanted to solve the problem of smooth traffic.

Li Mingmei stood nearby without even touching her brow. After Zhao Yunlan finished solving the problem, he helped her back to the bed with difficulty. Li Mingmei then picked up the filth and poured it into the toilet. She also rinsed the bucket and brought it back.

Zhao Yunlan watched Li Mingmei being busy because of her, and her favorability towards Li Mingmei doubled.

Li Mingmei went to bring Xiaobao over to see Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan was very helpless at the moment, thinking that she had not been in love at the age of twenty-four, and now that she was here, she was not only married but also had a child.

Huh? Yes, where is my husband?

“Little sister, I’m always coughing~ That husband is okay~”

Zhao Yunlan wanted to ask where her cheap husband was, but she didn't see her. Then she slowly recalled that the original owner's husband went to school in the town and didn't come home often. If he didn't come home often, he would only come home during the Chinese New Year.

!

According to the memory of the original person, Xiangguan Xiangyi was the eldest son in the family, named Li Mingren.

After Zhao Yunlan got married, she heard from her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, that very early on, Old Li's family was relatively well-off among farmers. Old Li, his father-in-law, was the only son in the family.

Old Man Li was born in such an environment during troubled times. There were disaster victims everywhere and the world was in chaos. However, because Qingshui Town, where Lijia Village belongs, is located in a remote place, few people here escaped from the famine.

During the war, the government offices were constantly changing, and there was no proper management system. In addition, there was war and chaos outside, and all forces went everywhere to increase their food harvests. There was also a famine in Lijia Village. But because it was close to the mountain, there was a shelter, and there was not enough food.

No one left Lijia Village despite gritting their teeth and getting through it.

After Old Man Li was born, Mr. Li, Li Mingren's grandfather, hoped that his son could grow up safely and that the war would end soon, so he named his son Li Ping'an, who is now Old Man Li.

During the war, people's food and clothing conditions were particularly poor, which led to a decline in people's fertility rate and most of the children they gave birth to were unable to feed themselves. Mr. Li was also a capable man, desperately protecting his pregnant wife until she gave birth.

End. Li Ping'an was also born at full term. Although Mr. Li was capable, Li Ping'an's mother was still injured and never got pregnant again. Old Li became the only son in the family.

When Li Ping'an was ten years old, a new dynasty was established, the new emperor established a new policy, various national systems began to be implemented, the devastated mountains and rivers began to regain their vitality, and the people's lives gradually began to breathe.

Mr. Li also felt indebted because his wife was injured after giving birth to a child, so he worked very hard on farming on weekdays. He opened up six acres of wasteland for himself. When the outside world became more stable, he went to work part-time during the off-season, trying to make his own life better.

My wife and children can be fed and clothed.

The population of Mr. Li's family is small. Mr. Li's parents died young. He separated from his brothers before the war. Therefore, the population of Mr. Li's family is small. But because of this, Mr. Li also earned some family business and demolished the original wooden house.

They built a mud house.

Later, Wang Cuifen got married. Three years after Li Mingren was born, Mr. Li rescued an old scholar on the road outside the village. The old scholar originally went out to collect scenery and got lost in the mountains behind Lijia Village. Later, he encountered a wild boar.

, hurriedly avoided slipping down the hillside. It happened that Mr. Li went to collect firewood on the mountain and found the old scholar.

The old scholar recuperated at the Li family. In return, the old scholar named Li Goudan, who had not yet been named at that time, the name Akihito.

The old scholar also taught Li Mingren how to read. Although Xiao Mingren didn't recognize any characters at that time and just mumbled along with him, the old scholar did praise Xiao Mingren for his good study with encouragement and education.

This encouragement made Mr. Li want to confess the scholar.

Later, the old scholar lived in this village and became the only teacher in the nearby village. Li Mingren began to study with him. Later, the second and third sons of the Li family were born one after another, and they were also sent to the old scholar's school to learn how to read.

When the third child, Li Mingli, was four years old, the old scholar passed away.

There is no teacher in the school, so the children studying in the school can only go back to farming. Some have learned a few words and gone to the town to work as waiters and apprentices. Only Li Mingren went home and continued to read with his books.

Seeing this, Mr. Li made up his mind to send Li Mingren to a school in the town. The second and third children stayed at home. The fourth was only two years old and there was still one child in the belly. The family population increased, and at that time,

Li Mingren's grandmother is getting older and her health is getting worse and worse. She needs to take medicine all day long to maintain her health. The family's finances cannot keep up, so Mr. Li can only send Li Mingren to school.

Li Mingren went to the town to study and found that he was not as talented in learning as the old scholar had praised him. He tried twice to take the Tongsheng test but failed and fell into the trap. Gradually, he just studied and ignored the things at home.

.

A year after Li Mingren's grandmother left, the old man finally couldn't bear it and left together. Old Li did not inherit Mr. Li's ability. Instead, Wang Cuifen supported the family and continued to provide education for the eldest son, while the other sons stayed at home to work in the farm.

The couple didn't know how to educate scholars, so they allowed Li Mingren to study outside, so that now he can't do anything but study.

As the children grew older, Wang Cuifen realized that she was in poor health, so she decided to give Li Mingren Zhao Yunlan, who was one year older than him.

After Zhao Yunlan married, Li Mingren rarely got along with Zhao Yunlan to develop feelings. Li Mingren rarely went home and read with a book. Zhao Yunlan also showed respect to scholars and did not dare to disturb Li Mingren easily.

Wang's health was getting worse and worse, and she was afraid that she would not be able to survive, so she urged Li Mingren to spend more time with Zhao Yunlan to have a baby as soon as possible. In addition, during that time, Li Mingren failed to take the county examination and became ill at home due to the stimulation.

After staying for a while, Zhao Yunlan became pregnant during that time.

At first, Zhao Yunlan was not considered fat, at most she was slightly fat and strong. Wang made the decision because she liked Zhao Yunlan's slightly fat and strong figure.

Zhao Yunlan gained weight until she was pregnant and gave birth, but could not lose weight. However, people in ancient times believed that fatter would make them look good and blessed, so the original owner did not have any worries about his figure after he became fat.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlan guessed that the original owner might have been too heavy, which was why he was killed with one blow.

When Li Mingmei heard Zhao Yunlan talk about her husband-in-law again, she fell into deep thought. She stood nearby and wondered if her sister-in-law had lost her mind and had forgotten her husband-in-law.

When Zhao Yunlan came to her senses, she realized that Li Mingmei was still waiting for her.

At this time, Zhao Yunlan may have used her brain too much all of a sudden, became dizzy, and felt a little nauseous.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Little sister, I want to rest for a while. You can take Xiaobao out!" Except for the husband whom she couldn't see, Zhao Yunlan also didn't dare to face her cheap son.

After Li Mingmei took Xiaobao out, she left Zhao Yunlan alone to rest on the bed. Zhao Yunlan waited until her head stopped feeling dizzy and then started to think about it. Old man Li was not in charge of the Li family. Wang was in poor health and lacked energy.

The cheap husband is the eldest son and can't afford it. He has three younger brothers and a younger sister. Looking at the furnishings in this room, you can see how difficult it is for the Li family now.

According to the memory of the original person, the current dynasty is the Jiaxiang Kingdom. It seems that this dynasty does not exist in the historical knowledge that Zhao Yunlan has learned.

After the establishment of this dynasty, the land system was reformed, and the wars were caused by the serious land annexation of the previous dynasties. After the wars, most of the land was abandoned for many years and could not be cultivated. Therefore, the new rulers classified a lot of land as state-owned and thought twice.

Later, a decree was issued that men who reached the age of sixteen could be allocated twenty acres of land, five acres of which were designated as permanent land and allowed to be bought and sold, while the remaining fifteen acres were oral land, which would be taken back by the state and redivided after the person's death.

Mr. Li was still there when this system was promulgated, but we don’t count his generation, we start from Mr. Li’s generation.

So the original six acres of land in the family were exchanged and turned into twenty acres of land. Only five acres could be passed down to the family. Later, when the family got sick and those who studied were studying, Old Man Li couldn't sell the two acres of land and the family was left with nothing.

The land in the family did not increase until Li Mingren and Li Mingyi were sixteen, but the corresponding taxes also increased.

In other words, the land that supports the family's life and even survival is currently 58 acres, of which 13 acres belong to the family, and the rest belongs to the state, and taxes must be paid.

The land allocated to the Li family was not fertile land at the beginning. It was sorted out bit by bit by three generations of the Li family, so that they could barely maintain the family's life after paying taxes.

In addition to the accident of Zhao Yunlan's fall, the family now has to support a scholar and an old lady who has been taking medicine for a long time.

Zhao Yunlan was stunned by her situation this time.
