Chapter 155: Do Good Deeds without Asking About the Future

"Aunt Eight and Auntie are back!!"

The fifth brother's son, Li Yuan, was peeing and fertilizing beside the fruit tree in front of the door while rubbing his eyes. When he saw Li Yuan, Lou Xiao'e and his entourage, he was stunned for a moment. Then he didn't care about holding his penis, and rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands. After seeing clearly, he sharpened his eyes. shouted.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed: "This little bastard doesn't even have eyes for me!"

After a while, a group of half-grown men rushed out and circled around the two bicycles, making various screams one after another.

Li Xing looked at a group of cousins, especially the five little kids who were only one year older than him and wore crotchless pants, and started dancing happily.

The adults came out when they heard the commotion. The autumn harvest had already ended, and the winter wheat had just been sown in the first half of the month. It was rare to have any free time.

If it were the busiest time in the past two years, we would have to dig wells like crazy. After nearly three years of well digging, there are now estimated to be tens of millions of pressurized water wells across the country, which has greatly alleviated the devastation caused by drought. sexual consequences.

It is no exaggeration to say that a well can save at least one life...

It rained three times since autumn this year, which greatly alleviated the drought. Now farmers who have been busy for three years can finally take a break.

"Oh! Little Twenty-Four is back!"

The sister-in-law took the lead and hugged Li Xing first.

Li Xing refuses to accept his birth, and will let anyone hug him, as long as he doesn't kiss or touch his face.

Unless it's very beautiful...

The Li family members greeted Lou Xiu next to each other, especially those whose children went to school in the city. When they came back, no one did not praise the eighth aunt and the eighth aunt's aunt.

Li Gui and Li's mother also came out. Li Gui asked, "Why are you back so early in the morning? What's the matter?"

Li Yuan explained the matter in general, and Li Gui sent Li Hai to Qin Huairu's parents' house to inform him, and then told Li Yuan: "You must be careful when you go to work."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I don't leave the workshop, I work in the hospital, there is no danger. Parents, Ezi and I have to go back to the courtyard to help. The glutinous rice balls are left at home today, and his aunt is also there. When breastfeeding, the glutinous rice balls only recognize his mother. and his aunt. We will come back to pick them up after we finish our work in the afternoon."

Li Gui nodded and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if I pick you up later."

The boss, Li Chi, also said: "We can't delay our free time. Do you want to give us a gift? The Jia family is your neighbor, and the eldest daughter of Qin Lao's family is from the same village..."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "No, Jia Dongxu's death has something to do with me..."

These words almost frightened the whole family to death. Lou Xiao'e quickly explained, and Li Yuan added with a smile, explaining the matter in general. Then the sister-in-law took action and Li Yuan was hit...

"Hun'er almost scared me away!"

The sister-in-law blamed with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e was a little unhappy and said: "It's Jia Dongxu who is inexplicable. Our family has never provoked him at all. Yuanzi also helped his mother and daughter-in-law get acupuncture for more than two years, all for free..."

Li Guidao: "This is not uncommon, everyone has it. Those who repay kindness with hatred, those who harm others without benefiting themselves, do not see the good in others... Therefore, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. If you think you have done something good, do it It's good, maybe people think you don't give enough, and you look down on them."

Lou Xiao'e said: "Dad, what should we do? No one knows what other people think... or else, just ignore other people's affairs from now on!"

Li Gui smiled and said: "But do good deeds and don't ask about your future."

Lou Xiao'e didn't understand, so Li Yuan smiled and said: "Dad is saying, just do what you think is right, don't worry about whether good people are grateful to you."

Li Gui smiled and explained: "After all, there are more people with conscience."

Lou Xiaoe laughed dryly, but didn't quite understand...

Others didn't force it. For Li Gui, it was just as long as his son understood.

When Li Hai came back and told Qin Laoer's family that they knew, Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e rode back to the city.

But instead of going back to the Siheyuan first, he went to Beixincang.

"Why did you go home first?"

Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile.

Li Yuandao: "Put on makeup first!"

Lou Xiao'e said "Ah" and said in surprise: "You still need to put on makeup?"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Look in the mirror and see, your pink and white face doesn't look like someone who eats wild vegetables in the countryside? I have to paint you with green dots."

To say that you are not fat, you are basically hungry right now, and many people are somewhat bloated.

But Lou Xiao'e's complexion is obviously different from that of a bloated person.

The reason why Li Yuan doesn't need to worry is because he practices martial arts diligently every day, which makes him look lean.

Even if he pretends to be depressed, most people won't be able to tell anything about it.

When he started walking with Bagua steps, others just thought he was staggering because he was hungry...

Lou Xiao'e can't go back like this, she looks rosy, like a peach, anyone can see that she must be popular and spicy...

Make-up "dye" is ready-made, Li Yuan learned from Mei Lanfang, and it is not difficult to paint a dark yellow and haggard complexion.

After Li Yuan finished, Lou Xiaoe took a look in the mirror, with a disgusted expression on her face: "This is too ugly!"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "It's time to go to the opera, go for a walk, go back and let them see what they will look like after eating wild vegetables."

Lou Xiao'e worried: "But isn't Qin Huairu's natal family from Qinjiazhuang? What if their family leaks their words?"

Li Yuanle said: "What are you spilling? You go back to Zhuangzi every week and you will be seen by some people. You just don't like to show up and take care of the children at home. Don't worry, although my family is a farmer, I don't love Mr. Zhang The Li family often visits each other to discuss disputes. Moreover, my family name is Li, and I stick to my own group. I am friendly with other families but not close to them.

My father is still a branch secretary, and most people don't come to the door. Besides, how can they think of talking about this today? Lao Jia's family of old, young, women and children alone is enough to give them a headache. "

Lou Xiao'e felt reassured and felt happy. She looked in the mirror again, then laughed and changed into old clothes, and went back to the courtyard with Li Yuan.

…

When Lou Xiao'e returned to the courtyard, she attracted a lot of attention. As soon as she entered the front yard, she was stopped to talk.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e's face, the third aunt said "ouch" and said, "Have you suffered a big crime? Your face is almost turning green. You ate too many wild vegetable dumplings. Is it going to look like this?"

Li Liugen's wife burst out laughing and said, "She was originally a daughter of a wealthy family. She was popular and drank spicy food. She married Yuanzi and her face turned green from hunger!"

Lou Xiao'e listened to Li Yuan's advice and said feebly: "It's not bad anymore. There are still people who stutter in the countryside and can eat half full. Third aunt, how are you?"

The third aunt couldn't laugh anymore and said: "It's okay to eat half full. We can only drink enough water. I am so hungry that I shiver every day. A green face is better than green eyes from hunger. I feel like a cat scratching my head. Same, I feel so uncomfortable that I shed tears every day. The third aunt’s family has grown again, and each person can’t even get one or two taels of food per person. It can’t survive anymore... Xiao’e, do you still have wild vegetables in your family? If so, can you? Give some to Third Auntie? My family really can’t bear it anymore.”

Lou Xiao'e was in a dilemma and didn't know how to respond. In this day and age, no one would ask to borrow food. No one was rich.

There was really nothing she could do, so she bit the bullet and said: "Third aunt, your family only has a few people, while my mother-in-law's family has dozens of people. It's autumn again, and the frost has passed. Where can we find wild vegetables? The roots of wild vegetables are all boiled." Finished……"

The third aunt had an idea: "Xiao'e, third aunt, I beg you. Your mother-in-law's family doesn't have it, but your natal family does. The Lou family used to live in half of Lou City. No matter what happens, there will be no shortage of food..."

When the people around heard it, they were quite moved.

Everyone says things will get better next year, but there are still a few months until next year.

These few months are like the scene before dawn, as dark as it gets and as cold as it gets.

I don’t know how many people can’t survive these last few months.

It would be much better if I could borrow some food...

Lou Xiao'e's face changed and she said angrily: "Third aunt, what are you talking about? You also said that it was before, before the public-private partnership, our family donated the factory and even the annual dividends. For this, my father also I went to Haizili to accept the commendation. What else do you think our family can have? My son and I have no food to eat, and we can’t bear to go back to my parents’ home to fight for food rations with my parents. Why do you still think like this?”

The third aunt couldn't help but said: "Let me just tell you... They say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how good your family is, it is much stronger than us common people, right? Even if you pull out the hair, it is thicker than our legs." .Xiao'e, neighbors have to help each other..."

Not to mention, Li Liugen's wife also thinks the same way.

But she was much smarter and knew that if Lou Xiao'e was willing to go back to her parents' house to borrow food, why would she eat wild vegetable steamed buns and turn green in the face? Li Yuan is not easy to deal with.

So I didn’t say anything for a while...

"Yeah?"

Li Yuan, who went to Jia's house to tell Qin Huairu what happened, happened to hear this and asked sadly?

Yu Li, who had been following the third aunt to learn skills, was startled. She quickly stood up and greeted: "Brother Yuanzi."

Li Yuan ignored him. He looked at Third Aunt with a smile and said, "Third Aunt, are your legs so thin? Are they less hairy than others?"

Yan Bugui, who was helping in the middle hospital, saw Li Yuan coming back and knew that he was going to his hometown in the countryside outside the city to report a message. He was hoping that he might be able to bring some food back, so he hurriedly found an excuse to follow him. Calculated to find some excuse to speak, he saw Li Yuan facing his wife with an unkind look on his face.

Yan Bugui shuddered in his heart and scolded the third aunt half to death. Are you blind? Didn't you see that the last one who confronted Li Yuan is lying there now?

I also regretted half to death in my heart, I didn't teach well at ordinary times, and my calculation skills were not good enough, so I made people count!

He hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Hey, Yuanzi, what are you doing with an old woman? It's not worth it! Confucius said it, only villains and women are difficult to raise. We, the old men, don't care about her. !”

Li Yuanle said: "Third uncle, you said it lightly. My daughter-in-law has been eating wild vegetable dumplings in the countryside, and I felt sorry for her. This time, your wife said a lot of things lightly... Ezi, You learn from the third uncle, what good things did his wife say."

Lou Xiao'e angrily said: "The third aunt first asked me for wild vegetables, but I said there were no more. There were dozens of people in the family, and there were not enough wild vegetables to eat, so they dug out the roots and ate them. She asked me to go back to her parents' house to get food for her. , I said that I was too hungry to go home and fight for food, and my parents didn’t have any food. She said that our skinny camels were bigger than horses, and my father was Lou Bancheng, and the hair on his legs was bigger than his legs. thick……"

Yan Bugui glared at his mother-in-law with an ugly expression, and said: "It's because the hair on your legs is thicker than your waist! If you are uneducated, talk less, it's just a joke!" Then he turned to Li Yuan and smiled apologetically: "Yuanzi, you The third aunt is just an uneducated and rough old woman, so it’s useless to say so..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's useless, but it's also disgusting. Third uncle, I treat your family well, right? When I ate vegetables with Brother Zhuzi and the others, how often did I not let your family take the bottom? What did Sister Qin say? I didn't even let her come back to help me, so I thought that although your family was scheming, they were still kind and would not take the initiative to harm others.

What's going on, you made an enemy instead? If you don’t have any food to borrow, you’re just going to make irresponsible remarks? With this kind of humanity, our family will have to avoid your house from now on. Good people like us cannot afford to offend you. "

Yan Bugui's smile was uglier than crying, and said: "Yuanzi, it's not the case, it's not the case! It's your third aunt who was wrong about this matter today, she was confused because of hunger!"

Li Yuan chuckled and led Lou Xiao'e inside.

Seeing the two people's backs turning and leaving, Yan Bu's noble eyes were red, and he glared at the third aunt and said, "Why are you so arrogant? It's not good for you to offend someone. Why did you offend him?"

The third aunt also regretted and said: "I never thought that I would offend anyone...Master, it doesn't matter, right? I didn't say anything nonsense..."

Li Liugen's wife enjoyed watching the fun and said: "Third aunt, you haven't said anything yet. You just pointed at her nose and called her a capitalist. You are also interesting. Lou Xiao'e's face turned green even after eating wild vegetables. My face is swollen, can’t you see it?”

The third aunt said angrily: "Whether she has enough to eat or not has nothing to do with whether her parents have enough to eat!"

Li Liugen's wife laughed and said, "You know they are two different things. Why do you ask others to borrow them? If you can borrow them, they don't know how to eat them."

If Third Aunt borrowed food, she would also borrow it.

Since she couldn't borrow it, it didn't stop her from making some sarcastic remarks.

Yanbu said angrily: "Okay, stop gloating about others' misfortunes. Yuanzi is a generous man and won't let his boss's daughter-in-law be trusted..."

Yu Li said "Ah" and said in confusion: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Yan Bugui said: "Go to the middle courtyard and look for an opportunity to talk to the couple. Yuanzi has a good impression of you... In front of Lou Xiao'e, praise Yuanzi more for the good deeds he has done."

Yu Li understood and went to the middle courtyard.

In fact, she still didn't understand why Yan Bugui asked her to go to the Intermediate Court now...

…

Lou Xiao'e was in a bad mood. She didn't expect that Li Yuan had spent so much effort and covered up so much for her, but in the end her parentage would still be talked about.

Can people decide their own origin?

If she could, she would rather have a hard and simple background, not for glory, but to be with Li Yuan without holding him back or implicate him.

However, her expression, paired with her dark green face, made many people sympathize with her.

Lou Xiao'e used to be a daughter of a wealthy family. She was so fair and elegant. But now, she's not even as good as them...

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu felt better after seeing them. It turned out that everyone was so miserable...

Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e just showed up, said hello to a few elders, and then went to the backyard.

Seeing that neither of them looked very good, some people wondered. It was obvious that they were not sad for Jia Dongxu. Could it be that something happened when they returned to their hometown in the countryside?

Fortunately, Li Liugen's daughter-in-law came over quickly to clear up the confusion. She said that the three aunts could not talk about people's right and wrong when borrowing food. Naturally, all the women in the courtyard talked about it.

Who wouldn’t take the moral high ground and accuse others? No burden and still enjoyable!

Yan Bugui was so cunning that he and the third aunt did not come forward and sent Yu Li to the back.

Poor Yu Li, she didn't know anything, so she was scolded by her aunt and others. She didn't last for five minutes before she went back crying...

…
