Chapter 102 Li Jizhang's Family

Er Gouzi reached out and held Li Ji in his arms, saying, "I'm missing you."

Er Gouzi rubbed his face against Li Ji's, and added another sentence: "I'm short anytime."

Without Li Ji, Li Ji will leave alone tomorrow.

Li Ji felt warm in his heart, hugged Er Gouzi back, and kissed Er Gouzi's face: "I'm missing you too."

Er Gouzi turned over and pressed Li Ji under him, and went to kiss Li Ji.Li Ji stretched out his hand and pushed Er Gouzi over: "You can't do it now. When your mother is mourning, it's too unfilial to do things at this time. Be good, let's live."

"Why." Hearing the word mother, Er Gouzi became more honest.

"There's no reason. Although my mother has been away for 15 years, since the house has a big funeral for her, it's a serious funeral. It can't be done during the funeral. Wait until you go home. What do you want to do when you go home?" How to toss and toss."

Li Ji comforted Er Gouzi, turned over to let Er Gouzi lie down, tucked Er Gouzi up, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Er Gouzi is not willing to give up anyone, holding Li Ji to feel Er Gouzi's existence, thinking that he will not see him for the next two days, Er Gouzi feels bad.

Therefore, now Ergouzi wants to make up for the lack of "Li Ji" in advance in the future.

Being pestered by Er Gouzi, sniffing Er Gouzi's scent, Li Ji slept soundly, but Er Gouzi stayed up all night.

It's useless to wake up in the morning, Li Ji woke up and opened his eyes to see Er Gouzi looking at him without squinting.Li Ji, who was more awake, stretched out his arms to hug Er Gouzi, and kissed Er Gouzi lightly on the face.

Sit up and start packing.Today Li Ji is going home, and Er Gouzi will play with the county magistrate for two days.

Sitting up, the clothes to be changed were prepared last night.Today when Li Ji came home, the magistrate did not treat Li Ji badly, and gave him the best silk and satin clothes.

The pouch jade pendant for decoration is also exquisitely prepared.There were a few auspicious clouds embroidered on the purse, which looked pretty. Li Ji couldn't tell what kind of jade pendant it was.

Li Ji doesn't know goods, and he can only distinguish between good-looking and bad-looking things.

Put on clothes, light and breathable clothes, compared with the clothes I wore in the past, it looks like I haven't worn them, they look light and breathable.

Looking at his dignified self in the mirror, Li Ji had some doubts. Will he still get used to wearing the ordinary clothes when he goes back?

"Does it look good?" Li Ji asked.

Er Gouzi nodded: "It looks good."

Li Ji asked himself in his heart: "Is that still me?"

Walking out of the house, he first went to the main room in the front yard. The county magistrate was sitting on a chair and was drinking tea. He saw that he had dark circles under his eyes, and he was not very energetic.

He looked up and saw Li Ji and Er Gouzi walking in, so he should be more energetic.

"Let's have breakfast together in a while, and then Li Ji, you should go back. We have already agreed on how to go back, and there is no need to say anything more now."

Li Ji and Er Gouzi sat down, and a maid came over with a tray, on which lay a slightly larger purse, which looked bulging with edges and corners.A knock is loaded with a lot of silver.

"I know you are not used to using silver bills, so I only prepared some scattered silver taels for you. This is 20 taels of silver. I won't give you back when you go back, and it's not convenient to send you. You can hire a comfortable carriage to go back. Good. If you see something you like, buy some more. You don’t have much money, so let’s do it as pocket money for the past few days. I’ve collected a lot from the funeral in the past two days, so I’ll keep the money for both of you. In two days, Ergou I will take it back with you when I go back. If you bring Ai Duoyin taels today, I’m afraid it will be a bit eye-catching, but I’d better send someone to secretly send the silver back after Er Gouzi returns.”

Li Ji didn't lack this bit of money, but the magistrate gave it to him, so he accepted it.Of course, there is no shortage, but all the silver in Li Ji's hands is not two 20 taels.

"I lived in the mansion for a few days, and now it feels like it's been a long time when I look back. I don't know what to say." Li Ji squeezed his bulging purse and pursed his lips, "I don't know what you think of me But in my heart, you are the real father. Er Gouzi and I are the only relatives left now. I know that you don’t really accept me, and you can treat me well because of Ergouzi. Gouzi's reason. If Er Gouzi hadn't grown up outside, you, a father, would never agree to the two of us mixing together."

The magistrate did not deny it, and added: "It's good to know."

Li Ji knew what the magistrate thought, and because he knew, he looked away: "Anyway, you didn't reject me. You are the only decent elder I have now. Madam, I have kowtowed to recognize my mother before the grave. You Here, I won't help you identify your relatives, but I will always wait. Waiting for the day when you allow me to call you dad in a fair way."

The magistrate's eyes moved slightly, he glanced at Li Ji, and sighed.Drinking some tea, thinking about it in my heart, I put down the teacup and said: "It's useless for you to look forward to me. It's better to look forward to Chang'an. If one day Chang'an is willing to call me daddy from the heart, I will allow you." "Dad."

How the two of them live these days, the magistrate can see.Er Gouzi who was with Li Ji felt very good, he liked Li Ji very much, and the father of the county magistrate could clearly feel this.

The county magistrate was ready to end his sons and grandchildren before it was too bad. If Er Gouzi was not found, the county magistrate would be able to go so many in this life.Now that the son has a habit of cutting off his sleeves and has no interest in others, it is even more impossible for this son.

This is the fate of people.God wants him to die off his sons and grandchildren, who can stop him?

So the dairy industry simply stopped struggling. As long as Er Gouzi still recognized him as his father, the father and son could get along like ordinary father and son in the future, and the life of the county magistrate would be considered complete.A hundred years later, if I meet Li Yan underground, I will have an explanation.

The magistrate of the county completely let go of his words.It can also be said that he has officially recognized Li Ji.

Li Ji stood up excitedly, and Er Gouzi watched him move, and hurriedly stood up.Li Ji pushed Er Gouzi back, then walked to the middle of the hall with a serious face, and solemnly kowtowed to the county magistrate.

"Thank you, Li Ji...Thank you uncle, there will be a day in the future when I will be able to call you daddy seriously. It will be soon."

The county magistrate waved his hand: "Okay, let's go. I'm upset just looking at you. Chang'an. Come back after you send him out of the side door. Don't entangle him at the door for too long, so as not to arouse suspicion. I will arrange someone in two days." take you back."

Er Gouzi nodded reluctantly, and followed Li Ji out.

On the way to the side door, Li Ji kept telling Er Gouzi: "Listen to your father for the past two days, miss me and bear with me, it's only a day or two. Without me I don't know how you can get along with your father. You have to remember that your father is the same as your mother. They treat you the same way. You didn't know him before, but you will have him for the rest of your life. "

Er Gouzi listened to Li Ji's words and nodded.Then he said: "I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Let's go after eating."

Li Ji thought it was funny when he thought of the magistrate's way of driving people away.He smiled and said: "If you don't check this meal, it would be nice for you and your father to have a meal together. Get along with each other more. I envy you. Although you used to have a hard life, but now you have Such a good father. I was a child, watching my father leave bit by bit. That feeling is really unpleasant."

When he was very young, Li Ji's father was seriously ill and lingering.The motherless Li Ji had to take care of everything for this sauce when she was very young.But no matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he earned copper coins to treat his father, he still watched his father get weaker day by day.

When he was young, his father was his only support.Watching the only reliance gradually go away.

When Dad left, Li Ji sat in the room for the first three days and three nights, not daring to close his eyes, and the room lost his breath, as if all the sense of security had been taken away.

In fact, Er Gouzi should be more pitiful than Li Ji.At any rate, Li Ji has a house that can shelter from wind and rain.And when Er Gouzi got lost at the age of five, he had nothing when he was even younger.No one knows how he survived until now.

Er Gouzi listened to Li Ji's words and remembered them in his heart, so he didn't continue the words.Er Gouzi really didn't know what to say.

No matter how long the road is, it will come to an end.Seeing the side door not far away, Li Ji stopped, turned his head and looked at Er Gouzi: "I'll go back first. It's only two days, so I can think about it if you think about it. I really enjoy you thinking about me. I At home, Xiaowei, Songsong and Taotao are waiting for you to go back together. When you go back, we will kill pigs, rabbits and chickens. I will make potato stewed chicken and wait for you to go back."

"You dare not kill a chicken." Er Gouzi said.

I don't know why, just such a sentence made Li Ji's eyes red all of a sudden.Li Ji scolded himself for being hypocritical in his heart.With a smile on his face, he patted Er Gouzi's arm: "Okay, it's up to you. I can have you come back and help me kill the chicken when I'm at home, okay?"

Er Gouzi nodded.The servant handed over a brocade package.There are two sets of exquisite clothes in it, as well as the clothes Li Jilai wore when he came.The money was directly handed over to Li Ji, and it was not put inside.

When Li Ji returned to the village, he would be watched by the villagers.When the time comes, Li Jizhong will open the package, and there will be no money, which will save a lot of things.

Many people "borrowed" money envoys before Li Ji, and An knew what he was thinking.

When Li Ji went back this time, the first thing she wanted to do was to tell everyone that she had never made any money from the county magistrate, so of course she would not lend any money in the future.

In the future, even if Er Gouzi went back to bring back the money, it was Er Gouzi's own, and Li Ji had no right to intervene, and outsiders were not familiar with Er Gouzi, so they couldn't borrow the money.

Li Ji tied the burden directly on his back.Originally, I was wearing very gorgeous clothes, and the material of the bag was also good.But being in such a line as Li Ji added a bit of rusticity.

Li Ji stepped out of the second door, smiled and waved to Er Gouzi: "Go back. You must be very tired after taking your mother home in two days. Take a good rest these two days."

At the door, it is inevitable that there will be eyes from other people's houses around.So when we get to the door, the show will start.

Er Gouzi nodded, but didn't reply.Just looking at Li Ji like this, with deep reluctance in his eyes.

The more he looked at Li Ji like this, the more he was reluctant to leave.Li Ji secretly scolded himself for being hypocritical.It's just two days at home, what can you be reluctant to do?

Li Ji turned around cruelly, carrying the package on his back, and quickened his pace.

Er Gouzi just looked at Li Ji's back, until Li Ji's figure disappeared around the corner, he still couldn't bear to look away.

The servant next to him reminded: "Master, let's go back. We will see you in about two days, so don't be too impatient."

"I know." Er Gouzi's eyes darkened, "I know everything. But I still can't bear it."

Li Ji walked for a while by himself, and arrived at the street for eating and drinking.After taking a look, he walked into the newly opened tavern.That's where Li Ji met the county magistrate.

When I walked in, the clothes were conspicuous. Although the appearance of carrying a burden was rustic, it couldn't stand up to the material.From this point of view, he definitely doesn't look like a rich man, but he is definitely a nouveau riche.

The buddy has met quite a few rich people, so he can roughly calculate how much the clothes are worth with just a quick glance.Seeing Li Ji clearly, the guy who had some impression of Li Ji immediately put on a smiling face and greeted him.

"Hey, I'm here to take care of our family's business again. What do you think? Do you want the upstairs private room to be clean or watch the excitement in the underground? You can arrange it for you if you keep quiet."

"It's better to be downstairs by the window."

Sit down by the guy.Immediately another guy brought tea.As soon as he smelled the tea, Li Ji knew it was a rare good tea.

These days, I have been drinking good tea at the county magistrate's place. It's been a long time, and I don't know how much tea I know, but I can tell the difference between good and bad.

"You don't need to be so polite. I'm not a very expensive person. It's a pity for me to give such a good tea. Write down the amount of money for this pot, and I will pay when I pay the bill later." Li Ji came here purely to recall the time when he met the county. The grandfather is the last scene, and he didn't come here to take advantage of it.

The guy smiled and said, "You said we were polite, aren't you being polite? You have taken care of our family's voice, and you are a regular customer. It's just a pot of tea, not even filial piety. You're doing me a favor, little one." There is light in their faces."

The guy knows exactly what to say.After finishing the polite words, I asked again: "So, what do you want to eat today? Despite this order. Although our place is small, the food is quite complete."

Li Ji looked around subconsciously, but there was no one there.Feeling empty in my heart, I said, "Let's eat some ingredients. You don't need too much. Just two or three items are fine. You can see the arrangements. The staple food... let's have a bowl of plain noodles."

Recently, I have eaten a lot of big fish and meat, and now it is not bad to eat more vegetarian food.

The buddy understands that people always have preferences every once in a while, or there is something recently that requires a vegetarian practice.

"The little one will serve you. Just wait a moment, the food will be here soon."

The guy went to the back kitchen to say hello, Li Ji was drinking tea, and there was no one to talk to.This tea is good tea, but it doesn't taste good no matter how you drink it.

Fortunately, the food was served very quickly.First, there were two plates of refreshing mixed vegetables. Li Ji chewed and ate them first, and after serving two more hot dishes, Li Ji called a stop.He was not a particularly edible person.In addition, I have a bad appetite today, whether I can eat it or not is another matter.

If Er Gouzi was here, there wouldn't be enough to eat.It's just that now that Er Gouzi is away, Li Ji still has to eat according to his ability.

The guy didn't bother after serving the dishes, and went down to greet the guests next to him.Li Ji picked up the vegetables and ate every bite.It tastes really good.But without Er Gouzi by his side, Li Ji always felt that any food would not taste good.

I barely ate half a bowl of noodles by myself, and half of the dishes were basically left.At this time, Li Ji really lost his appetite and stuffed it down.

Putting down the chopsticks, Li Ji didn't order wine either.After sitting there for a while, I stood up and called the waiter to pay the bill.

The guy came over to take a look, and found that he didn't eat much of the four vegetarian dishes, which was obviously due to his poor appetite.

"But today's food is not to your taste? It's our fault that we didn't cook the food well. Tomorrow, we will fire the cook and hire someone who can serve my master." This is to please the guests.

As I said earlier, what is likable and what to say.If the guest is really angry, even if the guest is making trouble unreasonably, for the sake of word of mouth, he must admit his mistake to the guest.When the guest said something, he often trained himself.Not for anything else, if the guests like it, they will come here often and bring more guests.That is a steady stream of customers.

Li Ji understands this, and it's not difficult for others.Shaking his head, he said, "It tastes good, but I'm in a bad mood today and can't eat anything. How much is it?"

Li Ji took out the purse from the county magistrate in his sleeve.

The guy smiled and said, "A few vegetarian dishes are not worth a few words. It's only eighty copper coins in total. Let's give you a zero, so it's fifty."

Where is erasure?The whole is less than a third or more.

Li Ji knew that they were so polite not because of Li Ji, but because of the magistrate.Back then Li Ji and the county magistrate were chatting and laughing here, but now they are dressed so well, that's why they are so polite.

Li Ji took out two small silver coins of one penny from it: "How can I take advantage of you? It's not easy to start a business, so don't pay me for money in the future. I know this pot of tea is precious, and in the future If you see me, don’t give it away. The two coins may not even be worth the tea, so I will treat it as a water money. Come back later, and I won’t drink it when you send it over. I’m still in a hurry to return Home, let's go."

Rich people don't check the money.Giving two denarii is considered generous.After all, I only ate two vegetarian dishes, so it was not worth the money.As for the tea, it is not for diners at all, it is specially prepared in the store to entertain distinguished guests.

The clerk collected the money and sent Li Ji to the door all the way.

When Li Ji arrived at the door, he looked down at his clothes.Such a good material, if you walk home, it will definitely be dirty and unreadable.It doesn't matter if you make a bullock cart.I had no choice but to turn around and ask the buddy: "Can I trouble you to find a carriage for me. It doesn't need to be good, just clean it."

The man said: "There are two carriages in the small shop to pick up and drop off distinguished guests. Just tell me a place, and I will arrange it here."

Li Ji emphasized: "Negotiate the price first."

The clerk was about to say no money, but he remembered Li Ji's words when facing the tea.Knowing that this is not someone who likes to take advantage, he casually quoted a price and went to arrange a carriage.

Li Ji got into the carriage of the tavern and rushed home.

Did not buy anything else.Er Gouzi was not at home, so Li Ji couldn't think of anything useful.Besides, no matter how carefully Li Ji prepared, how could the magistrate be as careful?The magistrate of the county loves Er Gouzi so much, why can't he think of it?

Li Ji closed his eyes for a while to maintain his health, and arrived home not long after.To be precise, it was at the entrance of the village, and the groom who drove the carriage was not sure which one it was.

Li Ji thanked him and got out of the carriage.Brocade shoes on the mud.Li Ji lowered his head to see that there was some disobedience.You can step on it and feel at ease.

After thanking the groom, Li Ji walked home with the burden on his back.

Seeing the door getting closer and closer.The familiar dog called Sheng came from the yard again.

Li Ji quickened his pace, and when he reached the gate, Qian pushed it open, and his little tail pounced on him almost instantly, clawing upwards with his two paws, jumping non-stop.

Li Ji didn't care about the mud messing with our two Li Ji's clothes. He reached out to touch Xiaowei's head, and said sadly, "Why are you so thin?"

In fact, it only took a few days before and after, but Li Ji could clearly see that the little tail was affected.They were already fat as balls before, but now they look pretty good.

It stands to reason that it is a good thing to accept it, but seeing the dog suffer, Li Ji felt distressed again.

Xiaowei looked at Li Ji without blinking, not hiding the miss in his eyes at all.The more he looked at Li Ji, the more sad he felt, and he walked into the house with his little tail.

Songsong and Taotao also ran over, squatting on Li Ji's shoulders, wagging their tails.

Li Ji felt better, and walked inside.

There was movement in the house.When the door opened, it was Li Qiaoer.

Li Qiaoer still wears a working apron around her waist.Seeing it, he suddenly burst into laughter: "Fourth Uncle is back. You are finally back, I miss you."

Li Ji smiled and said, "You're good at talking. Why are you here? What about Li Jin and the others?"

Li Qiaoer explained: "Brother Jin and the others come here sooner or later, and they do all the work in the field to feed the animals. But the little tail just doesn't eat what they feed. Only Yingzi and I can eat. No wonder you said The little tail has become thinner. It is indeed thinner. How much could it eat before? During the few days when you went out, the little tail lay down in the yard every day, and stood up and yelled when it heard something. It couldn’t eat two bites. Yingzi came here every day for the past two days Feed it. The little tail eats less, and the anxious Yingzi is crying."

Li Ji patted Xiaowei on the head: "Why don't you eat something this day?"

Li Qiaoer defended: "Actually, I can't blame it. It is said that the dog is spiritual. He has been with you for so long, and he supports you and the second dog brother to feed him. It is normal that he suddenly changes people and refuses to eat. Let's talk about it. What you feed are all good things, and there is too much meat to feed it, and we feed it with soup and rice at most, and it is normal if you are not used to it."

Li Ji's family is probably the only one in the village who feeds meat to dogs.Others are reluctant to feed their dogs even if they have a lot of meat. After all, leftovers can be used to feed them. Some people even don’t want to feed them with leftovers, so they feed them with rice chaff that is fed to pigs. The dogs are quite strong.

Li Ji didn't tell them to kill rabbits or feed chickens to dogs.That would be too much hate.

The author has something to say: I still haven't played a special episode today... My procrastination cancer is hopeless.

Do you like to watch it?If I like it, I will type it out tomorrow.

To be honest, the pressure of 6000 a day this month is really big...it's a bit overwhelming

Would you like to ask for 3000 holidays next month?

Take a good rest next month, and continue with 6000 days in the next month until the end~
