After eating, the three little ones pestered Li Bowen to tell them stories.
Li Bowen took the novels he had read from later generations and remembered the plots relatively clearly, and selected one that was suitable for them to listen to.
The only things suitable for little girls to listen to are those about princes and princesses. Li Bowen’s words were boring, but the three little ones listened with gusto. Even Chen Qiao sat beside her after finishing cleaning up. He licked his cheeks and listened carefully.
Until late at night, the youngest sister had fallen asleep listening to the story in Li Bowen's arms. The second sister and Chen Qiao were still listening with bright eyes.
"Okay, okay, today's story ends here. Let's continue tomorrow night. Go back to bed. Second sister, you have to go to school tomorrow!" Li Bowen himself was a little sleepy.
As soon as he mentioned going to school, Li Lan's face fell. He leaned his head on Li Bowen's shoulder and said, "Brother, going to school is boring, and I don't want to go to school either!"
< p> Li Bowen was a little surprised: "What do you want to do if you don't go to school? You are only 14 years old. You are not required to go to work or go to the field. You only want to play at home?""I can help my sister-in-law with the work. Ah! I really don’t understand what the school teacher said!”
What’s wrong with the girls in the Li family? The eldest sister Li Mei is like this. After working hard for half a day in last school, her grades are just the same! The second sister, Li Lan, is dangling on the passing line. The same is true now. Could it be that all the nutrients are grown on the face and not used on the brain, but everyone is also quite smart.
Why can’t he study well? Li Bowen was also speechless. Looking at Li Lan’s pitiful little expression, he sighed: “Then you have to finish junior high school for me. If you really can’t pass the exam, If you want to go to high school or technical secondary school, can you not go to school then?"
Thinking that there was less than a year left, Li Lan nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will. "Listen to your brother, if I don't pass the exam, I will go to work in the city like my eldest sister!"
"You still have to work in the city, but your eldest sister doesn't even have a job now!" "I follow my aunt to make paper boxes at home every day. You want to make paper boxes too?" Li Bowen has a headache when he thinks about his eldest sister's job. It's really hard to find a job, and he has a rural household registration, and there is no place to accept it. Now that I'm back, I still have to think of a way to see if I can move my eldest sister's household registration to the city.
But I guess there is no chance now. I am so nervous now. I have become an urban household registration, but I have to be issued with food supplies. I can't pass the street level.
I just don’t know if recruiting workers is still feasible. When I have more money, I can try it with Li Huaide.
The second sister Li Lan didn't care: "A paper box is fine, anyway, I will definitely not stay in the countryside in the future. With my face facing the loess and my back to the sky, I will become a yellow-faced woman in a few years!" "
Li Bowen hit her head and said, "How old are you?It's so far away and you're such a slut, your sister-in-law also lives in the countryside, so why is she fine?
Li Lan curled her lips: "Not everyone can marry someone like you. My sister-in-law is lucky, and I want to go to the city anyway!" "
"Okay, okay! Let’s wait until you finish junior high school before saying yes! "Li Bowen really has no choice. Who can bear to refuse the request of an aggrieved and pitiful little beauty?
How do you think the third uncle and the third aunt gave birth to these goblins? Although they are two None of them are bad looking, they all have average to above average looks, but the four girls all inherited the advantages of two people, one is prettier than the other, it’s really hard to compare people to each other!

“Grandpa, are our ancestors a particularly big family? "
The old man, who was still staring blankly, was awakened by Li Bowen's words: "Why do you think of asking this? "
Li Bowen pointed to his own face, then to his second sister and the others: "Look at what we look like, as well as my uncle and third uncle, who are the ancestors of our family? If you are not from a wealthy family, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat him to death!
The old man added a pinch of tobacco leaves to his pipe pot, and took a few sips in front of the oil lamp: "Now we are all about one ingredient. I told you, don't go around blindly." Go ahead and talk nonsense! Bringing trouble to our family! ”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!” "Li Bowen, Chen Qiao and Li Lan nodded together, their eyes wide open, waiting to hear grandpa tell family stories.
"Our family's ancestors started from your grandpa and went back more than a dozen years. Dai Na is a well-known and wealthy family in the capital. This saying can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. Does Zhu Yuanzhang know? "
Li Bowen nodded: "Yes, I know, Ming Taizu! "
"Well, Ming Taizu, this Ming Taizu had a fourth son named Zhu Di, who was later Ming Chengzu. When he launched the Jingnan Campaign, our ancestor was under Zhu Di. A person from a thousand-year-old family was awarded a title for meritorious service, and eventually reached the official position of chief military officer step by step, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
After more than 200 years of Ming Dynasty and more than a dozen emperors, we Our family was very prominent. It was not until the Ming Dynasty fell and the Qing Dynasty was established that our ancestors were unwilling to surrender to the Manchus, so they resigned from their official positions and became rich. They owned dozens of shops in the capital and had large fields in the countryside. It spread all the way to your grandfather. Later, when Xiao Baga invaded, your grandfather donated most of his property, bought guns, cannons, and airplanes, and supported the fight against Xiao Baga. We were afraid of being persecuted, so we moved to where we are now. Live in the village.
I didn’t expect that I was right to donate those properties. Isn’t our family’s status quite good now? If it were still like before, big landowners and big capitalists would definitely be indispensable for our family! ”
Oh, Li Bowen’s mouth is really open., It turns out that I have such a prominent family background. No wonder I live in such a poor and backward village. My uncle can work in the capital and marry a beautiful wife like my aunt. My father, whom I have never met, can go to university. , The third uncle seems to have graduated from high school, that’s it.
Then it makes sense that I am so good-looking and have several good-looking sisters. After hundreds of years of genetic optimization, what if the children born are still crooked melons and cracked dates? I've seen a ghost.
Suddenly Li Bowen thought of something again: "Grandpa, do we still have antiques from all ages left in our house?"
"Hahaha, you stinky boy, just I only care about this thing. Do you dare to use it now? I will give it to you when everything is peaceful. Don’t worry about this or that thing now. It will all be yours in the end!”
Well, if you think about it anyway, if you take it out now, something might really happen. Let’s wait until later. It means waiting another twenty years. At that time, I will only be in my forties. Years old, don’t be in a hurry.
But I just couldn’t control the itch in my heart.
Looking at the look of their eldest grandson, the old couple laughed: "Okay, after talking so much, it's getting late. You all should go back to bed!" After telling the story, they didn't care. Li Bowen, who was scratching his head, began to chase people away.
