Chapter 58
Should I study or not?
As soon as Zhao Yunlan finished washing, Li Mingren came to the door with a gift. Zhao Yunlan asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Mrs. Jiang patted Zhao Yunlan's head: "How do you speak?"
Li Mingren bowed and said: "My son-in-law pays homage to my mother-in-law. Madam, I am here to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law today and take you home."
Zhao Yunlan also understands the rules here. A woman who returns to her parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival will be picked up by her husband at her parents' home the next day.
I just didn't expect that Li Mingren would come this time, and come so early. In previous years, Li Mingren went home for the Dragon Boat Festival and had dinner before going back to school. In the past, Zhao Yunlan did not go back to her parents' home for some holidays in order to spend more time with Li Mingren.
Zhao Yunlan pulled Li Mingren aside and asked, "Did mother call you here?"
Li Mingren quickly retorted: "No, madam, I really wanted to come to pick you up. I know I did something wrong in the past."
Zhao Yunlan waved her hand: "Forget it, come as soon as you come."
Zhao Yunlan really misunderstood Li Mingren this time. Li Mingren prepared a gift when Zhao Yunlan was preparing to return to her parents' home. The money for the gift was borrowed from the third child. By the time this morning, Li Mingren was in time for breakfast.
If you are not in a hurry to eat, just go to Zhaojiagou.
Zhao Daliang was very happy. This son-in-law came to the house less often, so it would be nice to come back. This time he not only came early, but also brought gifts, a basket, well, they were all useless things, hey, that's all.
, the important thing is this heart. Zhao Daliang can only comfort himself in this way.
Mrs. Jiang was happy at first, but when she saw this, she felt aggrieved for her daughter, and said sarcastically: "My son-in-law is disgusted by the fact that our family is all rough and tumble, so why don't we give him a pen so that we two can learn to read again?"
Bar."
Li Mingren was embarrassed for a while, "Mother-in-law, no, it's me..."
Zhao Daliang was standing by to help him out: "Hey, it's all about the heart, it's all about the heart." He didn't forget to wink at Zhao Yunlan, but Zhao Yunlan just stood there without saying a word.
Mrs. Jiang continued: "Xinxin, what kind of book is this, and these pieces of paper? Oh, I do recognize the word '福'. He is such a good son-in-law. He is worthy of being a scholar. He gave me these things for us, a farmer, to read."
I don’t understand.”
Well, Li Mingren sent me a handwritten copy of the "Three Character Classic". The reason was that Li Mingren borrowed the money from his third brother to buy a pen and spent it all. But one pen always felt that it was not enough, so he copied a copy of the "Three Character Classic" by himself.
, I still had some money to buy some pieces of red paper and write the word "福" on it.
Li Mingren was so ashamed at this moment that he realized that he was wrong. He had never done such a thing before. Now he did something bad with good intentions. He couldn't say a word and allowed Mrs. Jiang to be angry.
Mrs. Jiang saw that Li Mingren's attitude was quite good, so she took a rest and then asked people to come in and sit down.
After a few people sat down, Zhao Daliang asked: "Son-in-law, I haven't been to school recently. Can you still keep up with your studies?"
Li Mingren felt ashamed, "Father-in-law and son-in-law know that they have no talent for reading, so I no longer go to school."
Zhao Daliang suddenly slammed the table, which made Li Mingren's legs weak and he knelt on the ground trying to admit his mistake.
"Nonsense, you won't go if you don't want to go, all these years have been wasted!" Zhao Daliang said angrily.
Ms. Jiang received: "What I wanted at the beginning was that you could study hard and get a good name. I didn't ask for your ability to be promoted to an official position. I just wanted to make Yunlan, our family, less hardworking. Now you say that you haven't studied.
My talent, I should have died in the first place, ah, hoo, hoo~."
Zhao Yunlan saw that Ms. Jiang was out of breath, so she quickly stepped forward to help Ms. Jiang, "Mom, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, my husband didn't mean that, just rest for a while."
Zhao Yunlan also didn't expect that the old couple valued Li Mingren's studies so much.
Li Mingren was kneeling next to him, "It's my son-in-law's fault."
Zhao Yunlan then looked at Li Mingren and scolded: "Shut up."
Li Mingren shut up obediently and lowered his head.
Only then did everyone realize that something seemed to be changing.
Zhao Yunlan didn't care what everyone thought, and just wanted to appease Ms. Jiang: "Mom, don't worry about my husband's studies. My father-in-law injured his leg some time ago, and my husband came back to take care of him. He just happened to take advantage of this time to rest.
, nourish your body.”
Mrs. Jiang knew that Zhao Yunlan was trying to comfort herself, but she just didn't want her daughter to worry about her, so she slowly came to her senses and said, "That's all, it's about you and your young couple. It's just your son-in-law. I'll tell you the truth, although your father and I have been looking forward to you."
I didn't want Yunlan to marry you at the beginning, but I didn't want Yunlan to marry you. Marrying a scholar would be so tiring! Later, I only blamed myself for not stopping me, and I just hoped that you would gain fame, so that we Yunlan could be more relaxed. No matter you
Whether I want to study or not in the future, I just hope that we, Yunlan, can have a caring person by our side."
Li Mingren nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my son-in-law knows that he did a lot of wrong things in the past. Please rest assured, my mother-in-law, in the future."
Huang Yuhua put rice on the table: "Father, mother, sister, brother-in-law, let's eat."
This meal should have been a happy one, but the whole family was worried because of whether Li Mingren could study or not.
After the two had dinner, Zhao Yunlan planned to leave, but Jiang was reluctant to leave, so she packed a basket full of mountain goods and asked Li Mingren to carry it.
Zhao Daliang pulled Li Mingren and said: "Son-in-law, you should think carefully about studying. Treat Yunlan well and don't let her support the family by herself again."
Li Mingren nodded, and the two of them walked away.
The two walked most of the distance, but they didn't have a car. Originally, Zhao Yunsong was going to see Uncle Zhao's house to see them off. Unfortunately, Uncle Zhao also went to his mother-in-law's house to pick up Aunt Zhao, but she hadn't come back yet.
As Zhao Yunlan walked, he begged for a car to show up. Li Mingren kept asking Zhao Yunlan whether he was tired or thirsty. Zhao Yunlan was almost annoyed to death.
Zhao Yunlan found a stone to rest on. Li Mingren handed Zhao Yunlan a kettle. Zhao Yunlan took it and drank without saying anything.
Seeing Li Mingren sweating profusely, he thought of Zhao Daliang and Jiang and asked, "Are you really not planning to study for merit and fame?"
Li Mingren was stunned and lowered his head.
Zhao Yunlan continued: "Do you think copying books is the happiest time lately?"
Li Mingren raised his head, surprised that his wife could read his mind.
Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren's expression at this moment, hehe, after reading the book for so many years, he didn't just put it down.
"Then you still don't want to study now?" Zhao Yunlan continued to ask.
Li Mingren thought for a while, shook his head, and did not dare to look at Zhao Yunlan's face.
Zhao Yunlan stopped continuing the question: "Let's go, go back quickly."
The two of them arrived home without stopping this time. Before entering, Zhao Yunlan suddenly said: "Write an article about your understanding of the younger brothers and sisters at home. Well, it should be no less than 5,000 words. Give it to me in a week."
Li Mingren continued to be stunned. Zhao Yunlan finished his homework and went in casually, holding Xiaobao in his arms and rubbing him.
It's late today
