In the past, if Li Jianmin dared to approach him like this, Li Changsheng would definitely slap him. However, Li Jianmin just helped him solve a problem today. If he raised his hand and slapped him, it would be a bit unreasonable. Li Changsheng could only nod with a dark face and said, "Speak."
Hearing Li Changsheng's words, Li Jianmin immediately shamelessly approached and said with a smile, "Father, you see, I'm almost twenty this year. It's time to get married. I can't continue to live in our house after I get married. I want to build a house."
When Li Jianmin said the first sentence, Li Changsheng nodded with approval. His son was indeed not young. People around his age were basically married. It was inevitable that he wanted to get married. However, what did he mean by it's not good to continue living in our house after getting married? He wanted to build a house.
There was nothing wrong with these words, but Li Jianmin had many thoughts. Therefore, such a simple sentence, Li Changsheng had to think about it several times in his heart.
What did he mean by it's not good to live in a house after getting married? Which daughter-in-law in the countryside didn't live with her mother-in-law or father-in-law? This little bastard, he hadn't married her yet, but he was already protecting her.
Li Changsheng raised his hand and slapped him. His eyes were wide open. "Which girl do you like?"
Li Changsheng's eyes turned. He thought of the good-looking girls in the village and said, "Is it the girl Liu Ye in the east of the village?"
Liu Ye's appearance was not bad, but her temper was a bit bad. He had heard many people say that Liu Ye quarreled with her mother. If he really liked Liu Ye, it was inevitable that he wanted to move out. After all, his wife was also bad-tempered. If she really quarreled with Liu Ye, it might be a big play.
Just as Li Changsheng was thinking about whether to build Li Jianmin's house further away so that he wouldn't be annoyed by it, he heard Li Jianmin say, "No, I like the new educated youth in our village."
Li Changsheng, who was still thinking about where to build a house, heard Li Jianmin say that he liked the educated youth. His eyes instantly widened and he said without thinking, "No."
Even if he liked the bad-tempered girl Liu Ye, it was better than the educated youth.
Who didn't know that the educated youths were arrogant but bad-tempered? Moreover, they were spoiled. When he thought of the complaints from the villagers in the last meeting, Li Changsheng would rather his son be a bachelor for a lifetime than let Li Jianmin marry an educated youth.
Hearing Li Changsheng say no, Li Jianmin immediately retorted, "Why not? The girl is good-looking and educated. how is she not worthy of me?"
Li Changsheng: "She's pretty and cultured, why would she like you? She dares to marry you, but can you afford to raise her?"
Seeing Li Jianmin's round eyes, Li Changsheng sighed and said, "Jianmin, I know you are promising, but you know what those educated youths are like. They are arrogant but bad-tempered. They can't even distinguish wheat from chives. If you really marry her, can she cook for you or wash clothes for you?"
Li Zhangsheng tried his best to persuade Li Jianmin for a long time, but Li Jianmin still refused to listen, which made Li Zhangsheng so angry that several blue veins popped out on his forehead.
If it was in the past, Li Changsheng really wanted to slap Li Jianmin to let him know what was called the strength of his father. But today, Li Jianmin just helped him. Moreover, Li Jianmin was born to be rebellious. If he didn't understand, he might secretly run to the educated youth. Li Changsheng could only continue to persuade and discipline him.
"We rural people marry for stability. Those educated youths don't look like girls from stable families. If you really marry her, can you hold on to her?"
"If I can hold on to her, will you let me marry a wife?"
Li Changsheng, "…"
In the end, it was all in vain.
Li Changsheng waved his hand with a headache and motioned for Li Jianmin to get out.
Seeing that Li Changsheng didn't want to talk to him, Li Jianmin leaned over and said with a smile, "Father, let's talk about something. The work on the mountain is a bit too heavy. I like that girl very delicate. Can you give her a different orchard?"
The orchard only needed to be responsible for looking after it every day. Don't mention how easy it was. Usually, it was done by old people. Li Jianmin asked Li Changsheng to do this work for Jiujiu. Wasn't it obvious that he wanted to open a back door for Jiujiu?
Li Changsheng didn't want to agree, but he thought that if he didn't agree, Li Jianmin might find someone else. After analyzing the pros and cons, Li Changsheng nodded and told Li Jianmin to get out.
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Jianmin immediately slipped away. However, his footsteps were light no matter how one looked at it.
It was ten minutes later when Jiujiu returned to the house.
Jiujiu pushed open the door, and Xu Mo Li was already lying in bed. Seeing her back, Xu Mo Li immediately put a smile on her face and said, "Li Juan, you're back. I just said that I would wait for you, but they all had to leave, so I could only follow them. Are you okay?"
There was nothing wrong with Xu Mo Li's words. If Jiujiu really cared about it, it might be Jiujiu's problem.
Jiujiu was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Mo Li. Hearing her say this, she nodded and went straight outside to get water to wash.
Seeing Jiujiu's back, Xu Mo Li snorted and turned to sleep.
It's just that the bed in the countryside is either a kang or a hard bed made of wooden boards. Even with a mattress, it's still uncomfortable to sleep, not to mention that Xu Mo Li is a master who can't bear hardships.
So obviously, she was very sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep.
On the contrary, Jiujiu, who came back late, fell asleep directly after lying down for a while.
Xu Mo Li looked at the roof with her eyes open, and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
Before Xu Mo Li slept for a while, she heard a knock on the door outside the house. It was someone calling them to work.
Xu Mo Li lifted the quilt and looked at Jiujiu's side while putting on clothes, but she didn't expect that Jiujiu had already gotten up, and the quilt was folded neatly, and she was standing by the bed and tying her hair.
Short hair was popular in this era, but Jiujiu has long dark and beautiful hair.
Last night, Xu Mo Li thought that Jiujiu was good-looking, but today, she saw that Jiujiu's hair was so good that Xu Mo Li's eyes almost widened.
It was useless for Xu Mo Li to be angry. It was almost time to go to work, so she could only quickly wash up and go to work with everyone.
Yesterday, with Li Jianmin's idea, more than a dozen educated youths were directly assigned to open up the wasteland. When Jiujiu was about to follow, Li Jianmin immediately stopped Jiujiu and whispered: "There are enough people over there, you come with me to the orchard."
When she heard Li Jianmin's voice, Jiujiu's pupils shook slightly, then she bowed her head and followed Li Jianmin to the orchard.
