56. Daily Life of a Peasant Family During the Imperial Examination (1)

When Duan Qingen was receiving the memory, the mother of this body came to see him, touched his head to make sure that the fever had subsided, and stuffed an egg into his body, saying that it was given by his grandmother, and asked him to eat it quickly to replenish his body.

Whether from this shabby room or from his mother's thief-like movements when stuffing the egg, Duan Qingen could be sure that the original owner's family was very poor.

And since it was the egg given by the grandmother, and the patient had to avoid others when eating it, there might be other children in this family, and avoiding others was to prevent the parents of other children from feeling partiality.

Duan Qingen calmly held the egg in his hand and continued to receive the memory.

Sure enough, in the memory, he did have three cousins, and he was the eldest in the family.

This is a fictional ancient novel. The heroine is a concubine of a third-rank official. When she grew up, she had an unhappy marriage and was rescued by the general in person after falling into the water, so she became the general's concubine.

Why was the general willing to save her? Because she knew the general before that. Although the heroine was a local native, she had a rebellious heart. Before she got married, she often changed into men's clothes to go out and play.

Before the general became the general, he met the heroine who was dressed in men's clothes and revealed her female body. The two became friends.

After marriage, because the general allowed, the heroine also changed from occasionally wearing men's clothes to go out every day. It may be the halo of the heroine. Before getting married, no one cared about her, but after getting married, she suddenly became Mary Sue, and everyone loved her.

Of course, after this novel became a small world in itself, the unreasonable places were handled clearly, such as why the general's enemy in the court, the third prince, liked the heroine and tried every means to seduce her. After the world was perfected, the reason given by the world was very simple.

Because the third prince was unruly and didn't care about selling his body in exchange for information.

Seducing the heroine, the concubine, was just to get the general's information.

As for Duan Qingen's body.

How should I put it? It's unlucky.

He was born in a poor peasant family, but he worked hard since he was a child. He secretly went to the school to listen to the teacher's lectures. He was favored by the teacher and was accepted as a disciple for free, who taught him to read and write.

Because of the poor family background, and the fact that there were many people who studied, but few who passed the imperial examination, the family members did not look at the original owner as a scholar in a different way. They all thought that he would become an accountant at most in the future.

And I heard that the accountant was not someone who could be a bookkeeper, but also someone who had to find connections.

The original owner was born prematurely, and his body was weak. He would feel dizzy after being exposed to the sun for a long time. This was not a good thing in a peasant family, after all, everyone worked under the scorching sun.

In the eyes of his family, when he grew up, he would either be a shop assistant or a book boy. Anyway, it was not a job that would be easy to find a wife.

So, after the family who fled famine sold their little daughter, the original owner's grandmother bought the little girl with a small bag of grain, just as a child bride for the original owner's grandson who made people worry that he would not be able to get married in the future.

No one expected that the original owner studied hard, got the support of the teacher, and sent him to the exam, and he actually passed the exam all the way.

When he passed the exam and became a student, the whole family was excited.

When he passed the exam and became a scholar, some people in the family felt that this child bride was not worthy of the original owner.

But the original owner was a principled person. He felt that it was agreed that she was a child bride, and that she would be his future wife. How could he abandon the child bride and find another one as soon as he became rich?

So the family acquiesced.

As a result, the original owner went to Beijing to take the exam, and stayed at a good friend's house. He followed his good friend to visit the father of the heroine, who should be called uncle by his good friend. When he left, he ran into the heroine in the garden.

He was abiding by etiquette and behaved elegantly. He bowed to the heroine and then left without even looking at her.

As a result, it was precisely because he was so abiding by etiquette that the heroine fell in love with him.

A girl's feelings are always poetic. She secretly asked someone to find out the original owner's name and what he was doing. She also asked her father indirectly whether he planned to let this scholar become his son-in-law.

The heroine's father really had this intention, but the original owner said that he had a fiancée at home and rejected him.

At this time, the heroine was already friends with the hero who had not yet become a general. After meeting each other, the heroine confided her thoughts to the hero.

When the hero heard this, he said, "What's the big deal? Isn't it just a child bride? I'll help you get it, give them money, and let them take the child bride away. Can't you get what you want?"

After hesitating, the heroine couldn't help but like the original owner and agreed.

So the male protagonist immediately arranged for someone to send money to the original owner's home, saying that a certain master had taken a fancy to the original owner and wanted him to be his son-in-law, and asked them to arrange a child bride.

The original owner's family planned to wait for the original owner to come back and discuss it, but the male protagonist was afraid that the matter would not work out, so he found someone to lobby the child bride.

It was called lobbying, but it was actually intimidation.

What if you occupy the position and don't let go, the original owner's future is worrying.

If it weren't for you, the original owner would have married the daughter of a high-ranking official and would have risen to prominence in the future, but because of you, the high-ranking official might still hate him.

The child bride was just a little girl in her teens who had never seen the world and regarded her fiancé as her heaven. After being frightened like this, she thought about the original owner's family's kindness in taking her in, and never starved her, and let her grow up well. How could she repay kindness with enmity?

In such a trance, the child bride missed a step on the way to the mountain to chop wood, and rolled down the hillside, dying on the spot.

The original owner came back and learned about this.

He didn't believe it was an accident.

How could it be so unexpected? Someone came to ask his fiancée to marry someone else, and his family didn't agree, and then his fiancée died at the foot of the mountain.

Moreover, someone in the village saw someone following her when she went up the mountain to chop wood. It was a stranger's face.

With such a combination, it's impossible not to be crooked.

The original owner was not stupid. He knew that even if he passed the imperial examination, he couldn't do anything to the heroine's family. He just endured it and entered the officialdom while looking for the truth.

So in the end, he was a boss.

On the surface, he looked gentle and gentle, and even had a good relationship with the heroine who came out to play in men's clothes and became friends. In fact, everything he did was just to trample the heroine and the hero under his feet.

Of course, because he did everything to avenge the heroine and the general, the general could still be whitewashed in the end.

Isn't it normal for young people to do stupid things?

Moreover, he only asked the servants to give money to drive people away, but he didn't let them threaten the child bride. As for the child bride falling down the mountain and dying, what does it have to do with him?

This plot is just to express that the male protagonist is very fond of the female protagonist from beginning to end, and to dig out the original owner as a villain.

In summary, the original owner is a villain with a scorpion heart. Not only does he wrongly accuse people, but he also cares about every little thing and does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Anyway, it's all the original owner's fault.

So in the end, the original owner was tricked, several crimes were added, and the whole family was executed.

[Ding! This world's mission: Protect Li Baojun, protect the Duan family, current mission completion: 0]

Duan Qingen accepted the mission and began to look at the current memory.

It's quite simple. He is only seven years old this year, and he is the most frail and sick. His family is poor and lives with a large family.

At present, his grandparents are in charge of the family. His grandfather is an ordinary farmer. He usually does some handicrafts, such as weaving baskets and dragging them to the town to sell for money. He and his grandmother raise five children.

Four boys and one girl.

The girl, that is, the original owner's aunt, has been married. The conditions of the man are quite good in the village, but she married the youngest son. The mother-in-law loves the youngest too much and spoils him. She is so old, but she wanders around every day and does nothing. Her attitude towards her daughter-in-law is not much better.

Duan Qingen took note of this.

The Duan family mentioned by the original owner also includes this aunt. When the news came that the original owner was convicted and the whole family was executed, Aunt Duan escaped because she was a married woman, but she still pawned her jewelry and rushed to the capital from afar to appeal for the original owner.

Although the original owner targeted the male and female protagonists, he was indeed a good official and did a lot of practical things for the people. Aunt Duan's appeal for injustice also attracted many people to join in.

Unfortunately, it was suppressed later, and Aunt Duan disappeared without a trace.

The original owner's father was the third child in the family, and there were his eldest uncle, second uncle and fourth uncle. The eldest uncle and second uncle were ordinary farmers, but the fourth uncle was more active and went to the city to work as a waiter in a restaurant in his early years.

Although the waiters were paid little, they would be rewarded if they met generous guests, or some guests would not take away the food they could not finish, and then the waiters who cleaned up the dishes would have a good time.

In the original owner's memory, every time the family ate meat, it was because the fourth uncle came back, so at this moment, the seven-year-old's favorite elder was the fourth uncle besides his parents and grandparents.

There were no girls of the same generation as the original owner, all of them were cousins.

There were two in the eldest uncle's family and one in the second uncle's family.

The fourth uncle was not married yet.

After figuring out the family situation, Duan Qingen almost guessed why the original owner's grandmother had to avoid people when giving eggs to her grandson.

In ancient families, especially among commoners, only daughters-in-law who gave birth to sons could have the right to speak. In other words, daughters-in-law who gave birth to sons had a strong back.

In this family, the three sons married wives and gave birth to boys, so naturally they all had the same strong back, and everyone had the same demands.

Poor families just don't want more.

Originally there was only one thing, and the whole family divided it, so each person didn't get much, so of course they would be fussy.

In the original owner's memory, because the eldest aunt gave birth to twins and was the only one in the family who had two sons, she always felt that she had contributed to the Duan family. Although it was impossible to get more things, she always kept an eye on the other two rooms, fearing that they would get more things than their own room.

Because the original owner couldn't get sun and couldn't do many jobs, even though he used the teacher's money to study, the eldest aunt also disliked him very much, and stared at their third room more.

This caused the original owner's grandmother to pity her grandson's illness, and she had to sneak to give him an egg.

It's not that I'm afraid of the eldest daughter-in-law, I just want the family to live in harmony, and there's no need for some meaningless disputes.

The second aunt didn't show it as obviously as the eldest aunt, but she was indeed dissatisfied with the third room.

After all, the whole family lived together, and Duan Qingen was the only one who was always sick. Not only could he not work, but the family had to pay for the doctor and herbal medicine, and used the family's grain to buy a child bride, which was an extra mouth. Even if it was a child, he still had to eat the family's grain.

I feel that the original owner's family spends more money than my own family, and his parents make the same amount of money as the others, so I am definitely feeling unhappy.

Coupled with Duan's father being clumsy and Duan's mother being soft-tempered, their third wife was frequently squeezed at home.

Of course, they are not bad people, but they are more irritable when they are poor. The two women only talk about it, and nothing more goes too far. The original plot did not mention how the Duan family got along with each other after the original owner became successful. , but if you think about it, it’s definitely not that bad.

After clarifying the relationship between the family, Duan Qingen sat up. He came with him. Li Baojun, who was leaning against the window and immersed in making clothes, immediately raised his head, jumped off the stool and ran over, "Ms. sir, I want a drink of water." ”

Duan Qingen looked at the little loli in front of him.

She was wearing gray clothes, her hair was tied up in two knots, she had a little baby fat on her fair and tender face, her eyes were big, and her nose was straight.

For Li Baojun to be chosen by Grandma Duan and bought for her favorite grandchild, she must have good looks, especially since she has been raised by Duan's family for a while. Although she has a lot of work, at least she can have a full stomach and does not have to sleep in the open. He's young, but he's getting better and better.

She is one year older than Duan Qingen, but she is very sensible. Because she knows her status in the Duan family, she basically does whatever she is asked to do. She is so diligent that even if the two rooms next door are not happy with the third room, they will not say anything to a little girl like her. What a sour thing.

If we put it in future generations, such a good-looking and sensible child would definitely be liked by many people when she appears, but here, she just doesn't make people annoying.

Duan Qingen was a little uncomfortable with using child labor. He shook his head and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Li Baojun shook his head and said, "I ate at noon and I'm not hungry now."

The child is hungry very quickly, so how could she not be hungry? But she knows by looking at her eyes that she is not a member of the Duan family. If she eats too much, she will definitely make people dissatisfied. Therefore, if she is not very hungry, she will not eat at night. .

The original owner was a child herself. Even if she was smart, she was only smart at reading and didn't know much about the ways of the world. When she heard Li Baojun say she wasn't hungry, she really thought she wasn't hungry and ignored her.

The adults in the family could guess that the family was poor and she was not from Duan's family. If she took the initiative to say she would not eat, they would not feel the same as they felt for their own children, so they followed Li Baojun.

Duan Qingen sat up straight, took out the egg that Duan's mother had given him, and handed it to Li Baojun: "Here it is for you to eat."

The cute little loli refused without thinking: "My mother gave it to my husband, and he will eat it."

After all, she was young. Even though she said this, she swallowed her saliva with a very honest voice. It took a hundred thousand efforts to move her eyes away from the egg with difficulty.

After all, before she was sold to the Duan family, she was fleeing with her family. Later, she came to the Duan family. It was good that the Duan family was willing to give her food. How could she give her a child who was not related to her by blood? thing.

But no matter how greedy she was, she still remembered that her husband-in-law was sick and needed to be replenished. She pursed her lips and swallowed secretly, while taking a step back.

It's quite cute like this.

Duan Qingen really couldn't regard the little girl in front of him as his future wife.

My daughter is pretty much the same.

He smiled and passed the egg forward again: "I have no appetite now and don't want to eat it. You can help me eat it."

But the little girl was still very insistent: "My husband can keep it for tomorrow. Grandma secretly took this egg from the henhouse to replenish your body. My mother said that my husband is sick because he didn't eat well. After eating it, This egg is just fine.”

Upon hearing this, it seemed that Duan's mother had made it up to coax Li Baojun so that she would stop talking and tell others that Duan's mother had brought eggs for her grandson to eat.

"Eating eggs is useless for my illness."

Duan Qingen also coaxed her decently: "Junjun, do you still remember the snake-like fish we saw by the river when we went to cut pigweed?"

Li Baojun didn't know why the topic jumped to this topic again, but he still nodded: "I remember."

"That fish is the one that can replenish my body. Let's do this. Eat this egg and catch some when you go to the river to cut pigweed tomorrow and bring it back to replenish my body. Okay?"

Li Baojun opened his eyes in confusion, "Is that fish edible? But isn't it said to be poisonous? Just like a snake."

Duan Qingen was not surprised that she hesitated.

Nowadays, technology is not as advanced as in the future, and you can know everything about the world while sitting at home. In this era, many people have never left the village in their lives, and many things are basically passed down by word of mouth.

For example, if someone is bitten by a snake and dies, everyone will write down the appearance of the snake so that people who have never seen it will know that the snake is poisonous.

When more snakes are recorded, people will naturally know the characteristics of venomous snakes.

When there was a famine here in the past, someone in the village went crazy with hunger. He ate all the Guanyin soil for who knows how many days. He couldn't help but eat a snake-like fish (loach) in the river, but it didn't take long. , and he died.

His death may have been due to illness or eating too much Guanyin soil, but in the eyes of the villagers, his death was due to eating loach.

No one dared to use their own lives to verify whether loaches were poisonous. Anyway, the famine passed quickly, and they did not need to risk their lives.

So everyone in the village stayed away from the loaches, even if they were so hungry that they would not dare to eat them. Children in the village had caught them, but because the adults kept saying they were poisonous, no one had ever eaten them.

In this way, loach has become a poisonous existence in this backward small village.

Maybe other places know that loaches are edible, but because the two sides can't communicate with each other, to their village, loaches are equal to poison.

Duan Qingen began to fool Li Baojun: "Yesterday, when I went to the city to buy books with my husband, I found an ancient book in the bookstore. It recorded that it is called loach, which is also known as ginseng in the water. It is the most nourishing. It is not a poison, but a treasure. ”

The original owner did go to the city with his husband to buy books yesterday.

This gentleman really treated him as a disciple and educated him. Not only did he teach him how to read and calligraphy, but he also paid for his study expenses. He also taught him how to behave and took him out to see the world, so that he would not be just a person with a lot of knowledge. Country people.

"treasure?"

Li Baojun's fair face was full of confusion. She had no doubt that loaches were poisonous, but she was just a child who could do whatever others said, and she had been taught that Duan Qing'en was her husband. She had to listen. Duan Qingen thought about what he said and immediately nodded obediently.

"Then I'll go catch my husband now."

"etc."

Duan Qingen stopped Li Baojun who was about to run out: "Eat the eggs first, and when you catch the loaches later, catch them secretly. Don't tell others. We are young after all. We won't believe it until we see the effect at home." of."

Li Baojun promised not to tell others, but still refused to eat the eggs. He only shook his head and insisted: "This is for my husband."

She was also very clever and came up with a way to get the best of both worlds: "If my husband eats this egg, and then eats loach later, wouldn't it be more replenishing for the body?"

The little girl is quite flexible. After saying this, she ran out. There is not much sound insulation inside and outside the house. As long as you don't suppress the sound deliberately, you can hear the movement outside.

Duan Qingen listened to an aging voice outside asking Li Baojun where he was going. Li Baojun replied that he was going to cut pig grass.

After a while, he heard a woman outside who had a rather aggressive voice, who he thought was the eldest uncle in his memory, saying loudly and dissatisfied: "Third brother and sister, please serve less porridge, Qing En, the child is sick, maybe it's someone else's fault" If you can’t eat it, wouldn’t it be a waste if you overload it and he can’t eat it?”

Then came Duan's mother's submissive voice.

The next second, the sound of tables and chairs moving was heard, and Grandma Duan's voice came out: "Third daughter-in-law, you sit down and I'll serve it. If Qing'en can't eat it, I'll help him finish it!"

After finishing speaking, there was another sound of agreement from Duan's mother.

Uncle Duan did not dare to say anything this time. Even if she was strong-willed because she had given birth to twin sons, she would only dare to be strong-willed with her sister-in-law below.

To my father-in-law and mother-in-law, even if I was dissatisfied with them for favoring the third wife, I would never dare to say a word.

After a while, the curtains of Duan Qingen's room were lifted from the outside. He looked over and saw a short, kind-looking old lady walking in with a bowl of porridge.

Meeting Duan Qingen's gaze, Grandma Duan showed a smile on her face: "Qingen, it's windy outside, so you can eat in this room."

Duan Qingen nodded obediently, got up and got out of bed.

Grandma Duan, like Mother Duan, glanced outside with the vigilance of a thief. When she saw Duan Qingen coming to her side, she took her grandson's arm and asked quietly: "Grandma asked your mother to bring you the eggs. Have you eaten?”

"Where did you hide that eggshell? Bring it to me. I'll take it out and throw it away later. Don't let your auntie see it and make trouble again."

Duan Qingen: "I haven't eaten, it's here."

He raised the egg and showed it to Grandma Duan. Grandma Duan was confused, "Why don't you eat it? Eat it quickly. I cooked this for you when I boiled the hot water just now. It won't taste good when it's cold." "

Then she listened to the little grandson in front of her say seriously: "My grandparents worked so hard every day and didn't eat eggs. How can I, who has done nothing and worked hard to buy medicine for me, eat eggs?"

As he said that, Duan Qingen put the egg into Grandma Duan's hand, "Grandma is busy working for us every day. She has not been idle since she woke up. This egg should be given to Grandma. My little child, it will be fine after a nap." It’s almost enough to be energetic.”

Grandma Duan felt soft in her heart when she saw the white, tender, good-looking little grandson in front of her speaking with such a serious face.

Not only does she love her grandson Qing En, she will secretly give food to her other three grandsons whenever they feel uncomfortable. This is not fair and just to avoid quarrels.

After all, getting sick is something you can't take turns with each other day by day. What if she feeds someone every time she gets sick, and what if the adults encourage the child to pretend to be sick.

But every time she gave food to her other three grandchildren, those three acted as if they had been hungry for eight hundred years. They wolfed down the food without even thinking about their parents' milk.

Grandma Duan doesn’t think her grandchildren are selfish. Aren’t all children like this?

But she doesn't think other grandchildren who don't think about their parents and grandparents are selfish. It doesn't mean that she doesn't think it's good for her grandchildren to eat delicious food first for their elders.

Sure enough, it is different after reading a book. I should find time to thank my husband properly.

Of course, she felt comfortable and comfortable, and Grandma Duan would not compete with her own grandson for food.

She patted Duan Qingen's head with a kind face, and stuffed the egg back: "Good boy, I know you are obedient, but I am old, and there is no use in eating this good food. If you are sick, you have to eat it." Good tonic.”

"Then my wife and I will share half the meal."

As Duan Qingen said that, he simply cracked the egg and split it into two. Without waiting for Grandma Duan to react, he tiptoed and stuffed the half of the egg into the mouth of Grandma Duan who was bending over to talk to him.

It's all in her mouth. Grandma Duan can't take it out anymore, so she can only chew it and eat it.

"You kid, why are you so smart?"

Duan Qingen still had the seriousness of a young adult, looking very cute: "As the saying goes, the kindness of parents is greater than the sky, and the milk is the father's mother, and it is even greater than the sky. You are busy inside and outside every day, When it comes to making up for it, it’s up to you to make up for it.”

"It's as busy as you said. The whole village is doing what I'm doing, and I'm not just doing it."

She was angry and kind-hearted, and her heart felt extremely warm.

Grandma Duan felt that she had contributed a lot to this family. She had given birth to children for her husband since she was young, washed and cooked, worked in the fields and mended at home. She did not feel that she was wronged. After all, all women in the village were like this. Came here.

But in the past, no one had ever thought she had worked hard.

Now that her little grandson said this, she felt sorry for her both inside and outside of her words, and Grandma Duan felt very comfortable.

In one word, it is soft to the core.

Duan Qing'en was still saying: "I know my mother loves me. My husband said that if I can read well, I can be elected as an official if I pass the scientific examination in the future. Then I can use the salary from the court to be filial to my parents and grandparents. Please wait for me first." "When I grow up, I will take the scientific examination and become a high official, so that you can live a good life."

After hearing this, Grandma Duan felt that children are just crazy. It is so easy to pass the imperial examination, but it is even more difficult to become a high official. In their town alone, no one has passed the Tongsheng examination for ten years.

There are some in the city, but they are young masters from a wealthy family. They have been brought up by their husbands since they were young. However, not many can pass the exam. How can children from poor families be so lucky to take the exam? superior.

She said this, but she saw her seven-year-old grandson telling her "I'm so serious" and describing how he would take scientific exams, be named on the gold medal list, become a high official, support her, and turn her into an old lord. He also said that he would give her a royal title, and Grandma Duan's heart felt as sweet as honey.

She said that among the four grandchildren, Qing En was the most sensible and well-behaved.

Before leaving, Grandma Duan softened her voice a few more times to Duan Qingen, and repeatedly told him to finish the remaining half of the eggs before she went out with a smile and a very good mood.

Duan Qingen sat down and began to drink porridge slowly.

But he didn't eat the half of the egg, but hid it properly in the bed.

After he finished eating, Grandma Duan came in again and put away the dishes and chopsticks.

He was not allowed to eat outside because he was afraid that the strong wind outside would blow him, and secondly, he was worried that Duan Qingen would infect the other three children.

After all, poor people are too afraid of getting sick. The best way to save money is not to get sick.

Duan Qingen didn't go out either, just walked slowly in the room.

In fact, this body is not as weak as the family thought. It is just because of premature birth that his father is not in good health. He had seen the doctor before and said that it would be difficult to have an heir. It was a miracle for the couple that Duan's mother could conceive him. After being prepared to be the only one in this life, he was naturally very careful and protective of his only son, for fear that something would go wrong.

Before the original owner was three years old, his mother would carry him in a large vegetable basket with a lid wherever he went. She would put him under the shade of a tree when working, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.

He was born prematurely, and his parents were so pampered that he was not allowed to exercise. However, the peasant family was poor and had no ability to feed him well, which made him appear weak.

In fact, if he had been raised running around like other children in the village since he was a child, his body might not be what it is now.

The Duan family's house is not small. Although it is quite shabby, it is not like other houses in the village. The whole family lives in one house. It is said that this house was built by Grandpa Duan for others in the city when he was young. Every time When people invited him to go, he always asked for some bricks, and then brought back the bricks he got little by little.

After saving for several years, I started to build a house.

It is because this big one does not have to squeeze the whole family into one room, so the four sons of the Duan family do not have to worry about wives.

This is also Grandpa Duan's foresight. He has worked hard for several years, but he can make his sons and grandsons feel more relaxed.

Just like Duan Qing'en, if he hadn't been a farmer and couldn't even farm in the fields in the future, Grandma Duan wouldn't have worried about getting him a child bride. In this case, Grandpa Duan, the head of the family, wouldn't have been able to do it. It's definitely impossible.

Back to the topic, because of Grandpa Duan’s hard work, the Duan family lives quite comfortably. At least the younger generations can have their own house, and there will be no such thing as the parents working hard to create a child here, while the child sleeps next to him. embarrassing situation.

Because Duan Qingen and Li Baojun were an unmarried couple, and Li Baojun was a child bride, she and Duan Qingen slept in the same room. It wasn't that the Duan family didn't have a spare room for her to live in, they just did it deliberately.

Of course, they are all children, and they can't do anything. But this is also the foresight of the Duan family's grandparents. Even if the country people don't care about anything, if the girl sleeps with the boy since she was a child, she must marry Duan Qingen in the future.

This is also to prevent Li Baojun from refusing to recognize this marriage when he grows up. In the original plot, this also became the reason why the original owner rejected the heroine.

After all, if he doesn't marry Li Baojun, Li Baojun will either be unable to marry for life, or marry a husband who doesn't mind her sleeping in the same room with a boy who has no blood relationship with her since she was a child.

After all, even if they both know that they are innocent and sleep in separate rooms, in the eyes of outsiders, they are both young and energetic, and it is a foregone conclusion that they will get married in the future, so it is inevitable that they will do something.

But if they don't even dislike this, their conditions must not be much better.

Either they are missing arms and legs, or they are old widower. At that time, Li Baojun was only in her teens, as beautiful as a flower. How could the original owner be willing to see her end up like that?

Before Li Baojun came back, Duan Qingen was walking slowly back and forth in the house. He was still weak, but not so weak that he couldn't walk. After walking back and forth for two steps, although there was a little fine sweat on his forehead, he was in better spirits than when he just woke up.

When the sun was about to set, Li Baojun came back.

Girls of her age were considered capable of doing work in the village. Since they were not their own children, no one in the Duan family paid attention to why she cut pig grass for so long, because it allowed her to put down the pig grass smoothly and bring the loach in the bamboo tube back to the house.

As soon as the little Lolita, with water stains on her body and sweat on her face, entered the house, she took out a bamboo tube of loach hidden in her arms and handed it to Duan Qingen with sparkling eyes.

"Husband, do you think this is enough? If not, I'll go get more."

"Enough."

Li Baojun was afraid that the loaches would die, so she put water in it. Although the water was almost spilled on the way back, the loaches in this bamboo tube were still fresh.

Duan Qingen directly took the wooden basin for washing faces and asked Li Baojun to pour the loaches in it, "Let them spit out the mud first, and eat them tomorrow."

"Yeah!"

Li Baojun nodded, with a well-behaved face, "Then I'll go get some more water, so that they won't die the next day."

Duan Qingen agreed, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, he turned back to the back of the bed and hid the half egg in his hand, then turned around and said to Li Baojun, "When you went to catch loaches today, did you see flowers by the river?"

Li Baojun nodded, "I saw it, husband, do you want it? There are so many flowers there... um!"

When she opened her mouth to say the word "flower", Duan Qingen quickly stuffed half an egg into her mouth.

Seeing Li Baojun's eyes wide open and about to vomit, he urged again: "Eat quickly, or it will fall to the ground."

Li Baojun could only eat half of the egg in her mouth bit by bit with a look of confusion and a little satisfaction, staring at her beautiful round eyes.

After eating, she touched her stomach, her face full of satisfaction.

For so long, she has never had food in her stomach at this time.

Next door, in the room where Grandpa Duan and Grandma Duan live.

Grandpa Duan was making the bed, and Grandma Duan kept talking: "Qingen is a very sensible child. He also said that he would ask for an imperial decree for me. He said that if he did, I could let people call me the old lord, that is, the kind of person who has maids to serve him wherever he goes, and the wives of high-ranking officials would have to pay tribute to me."

"Oh, this child is really different from those three naughty monkeys after reading books. It's true. It makes me feel so comfortable."

Grandpa Duan listened to his wife talking all night, and it felt like calluses were coming out of his ears. Seeing that Grandma Duan kept talking, he could only perfunctorily say: "This child should be more sensible. Who knows, in the future, our family can really produce a high-ranking official."

"Okay, go to bed quickly. It will be dark soon and you can't see anything. I'll fall down again."

Grandma Duan then hurriedly helped her husband make the bed and got into bed with him.

But even though she lay down, her eyes were still bright and shining.

The old man said that Qingen would be a high official in the future, so how could he be wrong?

Although the eldest wife always said that she was partial, Grandma Duan knew in her heart that she had always been impartial and steady.

But today, the balance in her heart quietly moved a little towards Duan Qingen, the little grandson.

It is reasonable for her to favor such a well-behaved, sensible and filial child.

Thinking of this, Grandma Duan went to sleep with peace of mind.
