Li Yougui shook his head, "I haven't been there in the past few days, so I don't know!"
"Hey! I don't know who is looking for work all day long. The weather is getting warmer. Wild vegetables and weeds have begun to grow in the ditches beside the fields and on the mountains. Instead of cutting them, he insists on going to other people's fields to cut what they have grown so hard. "Li Youdi said loudly at the top of his lungs.
"Brother Youdi, will Uncle Mo and Aunt Song really go to the county to sue the officials?" Li Youcai asked after Li Youdi's words.
"It's not like you don't know. If I hadn't stopped them, they would have all gone to the county." Li Youdi said, and then sighed, "I don't blame them for being angry. They worked so hard to grow it, and Qingyuan is full of flowers every day." I went to look in the field, but someone stole it just one night after I went out."
Li Youcai chuckled, "To say that the reporting officer is also the reporting officer, isn't this a waste of other people's things! Forget it, let's help search again. If we find someone's house, let them go and admit their mistake to Uncle Mo and others, so as not to Let’s go to the county boss.”
Li Youdi nodded with a dark face, "Yeah!" But he still followed, "If I hadn't considered that we were from the same village, I wouldn't have bothered. People like this who steal people's things should be brought to see the officials. It's best to chop off one of his hands and see if he dares to do it again."
After Li Youdi vented his anger, he turned to Li Yougui and said, "You will follow us to ask at various houses later and help us find him."
Li Yougui agreed quickly, "Okay."
Li Youshu said at this time: "Yougui, do you want to raise two more pigs?"
"No, I can't do it alone." Li Yougui said.
"That's right. You have to be busy both inside and outside the house. It's too busy for you alone." Li Youshu said, and then continued, "I'm going to see how your pigs are doing? Our pigs are doing well." I haven’t eaten well during this period, so I haven’t grown much.”
Li Yougui didn't mean to stop him at all, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there!"
Just as Li Yougui turned around to take Li Youshu to the pig pen, Feng ran out to stop him, "The pig pen was not tidied up and was a bit dirty."
Li Youshu laughed and said, "Aunt Feng, you are too particular. Is there any pigsty that is not dirty?" After saying that, he walked directly to the pigsty.
The advantage of visiting a farmer's house is that everyone knows what kind of house is in each house. Just like now, Li Youshu doesn't need Li Yougui to take him to the pigsty, he can go there by himself.
Li Youshu strode towards the pig pen. Feng stretched out his hand to pull, but was held back by Li Youdi, "Auntie."
Feng looked at Li Youdi angrily, "Why are you pulling me?"
"I want to tell you about Dagang." Li Youdi said.
"I'll talk to you later." Feng said.
Li Youdi said: "What is Auntie going to do?"
Feng said awkwardly: "Nothing to do, it's just that the pigsty is too dirty and a little difficult to stay in. I thought I'd clean it up!"
Li Youdi: "If there is a tree, just take a look at it. It won't be too late to clean it up after he leaves. I happened to see my aunt, so I will tell my aunt about Dagang's study."
"Mr. Han said that Dagang is a good student who is good at studying. He and Wanwan will train him well. Auntie, please don't say that Dagang's studies are useless in the future, lest Dagang's studies will be affected."
While Li Youdi was talking, Li Youshu also walked into the pig pen.
The two pigs who had eaten and drank enough were lying in their nests sleeping. "Your pigs eat cleanly. There is nothing left in the pig trough."
"My pigs have eaten half of it in the past few days, and half of it has leaked out and leaked to the ground."
"Is it too much?" Li Yougui asked.
"More is a bit too much. I wanted to feed him more because he wanted to grow faster." Li Youshu put his hand on the fence of the pig pen and carefully looked at the pig food leaking around the pig trough.
"How can this be done? If it can't finish eating, it will pop out and spread everywhere." Li Yougui said.
"What do you feed Auntie every day? They eat so cleanly!" The pig trough is clean, but some of it is still stuck out.
"What can we have? It's just pot water with rice bran, red sweet potato, cabbage leaves and the like."
"That's right, let's go, I'm going to wash my hands." Li You
Shu walked out of the pigsty and said, walking directly from the pigsty to the backyard as if it were his own home.
After walking around the backyard, Li Youshu was stunned, "Yougui, why are there so many vetch in your house?"
"What?" Li Yougui said, "What?" Before he could finish it, he saw a lot of vetch in the backyard.
"Why so many?" No matter how late he was, he still thought of something, "I'll ask my mother?" After saying that, Li Youshu didn't care whether he had to wash his hands or not, and immediately walked to the front yard, "Mother, our yard Where do you get so much jade grass?"
Feng still wanted to be tough, "Where else could they come from? There are so many on the mountain, I went out to find them to feed the pigs."
Li Youdi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. If he hadn't been concerned about his reputation, he would have wanted to slap Feng on the face twice. Just when he was about to ask questions, Li Youshu came out and said, "Auntie, your Yunying family The haystack in the backyard is like a hill. Did you come back from cutting so many milkvetch grasses? They are still young shoots. Not to mention feeding pigs, it tastes very good even for humans."
After Li Youshu came out, he continued: "You tell us, and I will go cut some. It just so happens that the pigs at home are not eating well."
"I'll go take a look!" After Li You said that, he walked to the backyard to take a look.
Li Youcai also said, "I'll go take a look too."
After the two of them confirmed that there was indeed a lot of milkweed in the backyard of Li Yougui's house, their expressions became even worse. Especially Li Youdi, who hurriedly walked out in a few steps, looked at Feng and said, "Auntie, you still have to go." Tell me, where did you go to cut the wild vegetables? Otherwise, people would think you went to cut the wild vegetables at Uncle Mo's house."
"They dared to say it was me. Who saw me going to cut their fields?" Feng became mischievous again.
Li Youdi didn't want to say anything more for a moment, but it was impossible not to say anything. Who asked him to take over this village?
"It's not the best. Anyway, I promised to help Uncle Mo and the others find the people who stole the grass. I would go door to door in the village to check on them. If I were asked about something, I would definitely tell them every word about the county. Master, listen!"
After listening to Li Youdi's words, Li Yougui was even more anxious than his mother, "Mom, if you really go to Uncle Mo's field to cut the vetch and come back, we will go and admit your mistake to Uncle Mo, and ask Uncle Mo to forgive us. I can’t go see the official.”
"By the way, if there is a thief in the family, the court will not allow the children in the family to take the imperial examination." Li Youdi added that Feng was not in a hurry, but Li Yougui should always be.
As he expected, Li Yougui said again: "Mother! I am Dagang's son, and this family will depend on him from now on. If he knows that he can't study, aren't you afraid that he will jump into the river again?"
"Even if I beg you, if you really went to Uncle Mo's house to cut the milkweed, let's go and admit our mistake to Uncle Mo now. After I admit my mistake, I will plant it again for him, but you can't harm Dagang." I can’t study!”
Feng was also afraid that Li Dagang would do something reckless again, "I didn't mow it alone. Besides, what's the fuss about carrying a basket of weeds? I helped them mow the weeds in the field, why don't I help them too?" them."
Ms. Feng looked confident and confident, saying this as if people wanted to thank her for stealing things from their fields.
"Auntie, that's not a weed! It's a medicinal herb specially grown by Uncle Mo's family. We also discussed it with the county medical center before planting it. After we grow it, we will send it directly to the medical center to sell it for money."
Li Youdi was bored when he saw her now, and directly told her that vetch was medicine and had to be sold for money. He even thought that it would be best to pay back all the few taels of silver she had saved, to see if she would return it in the future. Do you dare to jump up and cause trouble again?
Ms. Feng finally felt guilty, "What herb? Just a handful of weeds. If they are reluctant to part with it, at worst, I will carry all the cut back to her house and return it to them."
"Auntie, it's best to carry these into the ground and let them grow again!"
Who doesn't know how to mess around? Li Youdi also blurted out nonsense.
"Why are you like this? Who is the outsider?"
Mrs. Feng has always been dissatisfied with Li Youdi, feeling that he has been helping outsiders and not helping her at all.
"The Mo family is rich now, and you can't even think of us
None of the relatives recognized him. "
Li Youdi was already very annoyed. He had been busy enough for the day, and he finally had a rest when he got home, but this happened again.
When everyone had troubles, he couldn't help, but she was the one with the most troubles in and outside the village. She was always looking for trouble, and was messing around, so she didn't give her face. Anyway, she was not a serious elder of hers. "I can't tell the difference." It doesn’t matter what it is, I didn’t steal what others planted in their fields, so if they want to blame me, they can’t blame me.”
Li Yougui saw that Li Youdi was angry, "Brother Youdi, don't get angry with my mother. I will go and apologize to Uncle Mo right now."
"Are you going? Do you have money to compensate?" Li Youdi made up his mind to let them bleed, otherwise he would dare to steal next time.
Li Yougui was speechless by Li Youdi's words. He turned to look at Feng, "Mom, give me some money. I'll go and apologize to Uncle Mo."
"There is no money at home!"
"If you don't have money, just carry food to compensate!" Li Youdi said loudly. In short, he was not prepared to make it easy for them.
"Li Youdi, it's great that you are a village chief, but this is how you treat an elder like me? This family has been broken up by you, and more than half of the food in the family has been lost. Now you are here to carry food again, you You are trying to force me, the aunt in the next room, to death, why are you so cruel!"
Li Youshu couldn't stand listening anymore, "Brother Youdi, I told you not to come, but you insist on coming. It's a family. If you don't come and help persuade me to go to Uncle Mo's house to apologize, do you have to make a fuss?" You can’t go to court!”
"Now you see clearly! Aunt Feng would rather go to court than go to the Mo family to apologize."
Li Youcai also spoke up, "People grow medicines for money, not for fun! I cut all the herbs they grow and don't want to pay for it. If there is such a good thing in the world, I won't farm anymore. I'll see in the future. Harvest food from whichever family grows well."
After a pause, he continued: "Brother Youdi, let's go back. Anyway, you kindly persuaded them, but they didn't listen. When someone comes to the Yamen tomorrow, it will be clear."
