When Li Xinke heard this, she stretched out her right hand and gave Li Shanshan a thumbs up. Said:

"Well done. ”

When she was in school, Li Xinke also heard some rumors. said that the elders of the Li family have said that for the sake of Li Shanshan's future, they have to find someone to ask who has good family conditions and wants to adopt a child. Just send Li Shanshan over......

Li Xinke has heard this many times, but she has never believed it once.

She had heard from other classmates at school about her sister. It wasn't surprising that the sister could hear those rumors.

After thinking about it, he asked Li Shanshan:

"Sister. Is it someone from the Bu family, or someone from the Tu family, who came here to look for you and told you about these things?"

"Hmm. Li Shanshan nodded and said:

"It was a group of mothers-in-law who came to look for grandma, and while they were chatting in the house, I was picking cucumbers and green peppers in the vegetable garden. When I was almost done, the cloth granny came out. ”

Li Xinke knows that the "Granny Bu" mentioned by her sister is also Bu Xiuxiu's mother.

That Granny Bu lived in a tea factory in a group, and she was not close to her grandmother Xiang Changqi. Granny Bu came all the way to talk to Li Shanshan about it.

Why didn't Li Shanshan mention it to her before this?

You must know that the first and second groups of Meiling Village do not even have a road. The people over there picked the tea and either found someone to process it themselves, or sold it to the cloth director.

Anyway, they are all processed in the first and second groups before they are backed out and sold.

Why did Granny Bu think that it was okay and walked for several hours on the mountain road, and ran to find her grandmother Xiang Changqi......

Li Xinke pursed her lips and asked Li Shanshan:

"Granny Bu came to find grandma, why didn't you tell me in time?"

Li Shanshan said with some embarrassment:

"That day, you and Sister Wanfu went into the city and were busy until midnight before returning home. When you came back, I woke up once, but it was so late, what should I say? The next day before dawn, you got up again, washed up, and followed them to the city to work......

A trace of gloom flashed in Li Xinke's eyes, and said, "That's because I didn't ask you in time, I don't blame you." Tell me what did Granny Bu say when she met you?"

"Granny Bu said that my grandmother came to her to ask her to come and see me so that she could bring me back to her daughter's house. Her daughter and son-in-law have good family conditions and have no children, so they will treat me as their own child. ”

Li Shanshan frowned painfully and said:

"When I heard this, I grabbed Granny Bu's hand and bit the back of her hand with a bloody mark......"

Li Xinke listened to Li Shanshan's words, and now she understands why her sister said that the elders in the family like her more.

In fact, the elders of the family did not favor anyone.

It's just that their father died early, and their mother and grandparents were extra frugal in order to support the family. It is inevitable that my sister will wear her old clothes and use her old stationery.

Because of her poor health, her family was reluctant to let her do farm work.

My sister must have done more work at home than she did.

Perhaps because of this, my sister has always been a sensible and hardworking obedient granddaughter in her grandmother's mind. Grandmother was used to seeing the hard-working Shanshan, and when she saw Shanshan hiding in the room and refusing to come out at noon, she naturally had some ideas.

will think that Li Shanshan has become lazy.

In fact, my grandmother hadn't read much, so how could I know that painting also takes too much time and energy?

"Sister, if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, you have to tell me as soon as possible. Li Xinke looked at Li Shanshan with resolute eyes, and said very sincerely:

"You have to believe that with my sister here, you won't allow others to hurt you. I believe that no elder in our family will be willing to give you away......"

When Li Shanshan heard this, she nodded again and again. Her tears spread down her cheeks and landed on the back of Li Xinke's hand as she nodded.

The warm feeling on the back of his hand made Li Xinke's mood complicated. She stretched out her arms, hugged Li Shanshan, and said in a choked voice:

“…… In the future, no matter what you hear people say, you can't think about it anymore. ”

"Uh......h Whining...... Sister!" Li Shanshan wept silently for a long time before she nodded and said in a trembling voice.

Li Xinke stretched out her hand and rubbed Li Shanshan's head, and persuaded softly: "Okay, sister, don't cry." ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Shanshan listened and tried hard to hold back her tears.

Li Xin didn't come out with tissues, because her shirt and pants didn't have pockets, so she couldn't carry them.

I had to carry a bucket and go to the stream to get some water and let my sister wash her face.

My sister was crying sadly, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. If my mother saw it for a while, I don't know how heartbroken it would be.

Li Xinke said softly to Li Shanshan:

"You have to believe it, whether it's mom, or grandpa and grandma. They are working so hard and paying for us, just to let the family live a good life. No one would be so ruthless as to want to send you out!"

The two sisters were talking in a low voice, and the sound of a conversation between grandmother and grandfather could be heard from the bamboo forest.

"I said, old man, you don't have to draw today, so you don't have to work for a while. I'm going to hunt pigweed, and then I'm going to herd the cattle for a while. When it's cooler, I'll go fishing for a few fish and come back, and I'm going to cook fish soup for Coco and Shanshan. ”

"Got it, got it. You old woman, you can nag five or six times about everything. ”

When Li Xinke heard what her grandfather said, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

In this family, the person who can nag more than his grandmother seems to be his mother Du Muhao. However, her mother will only nag in front of her and her sister, but in front of the elders, it is fine.

Li Xinke and Li Shanshan squatted in the field to pull weeds, and after working for a while, they took the grass home.

When I walked into the yard, I heard the sound of "bang, bang".

Li Xinke raised her eyes and saw that it was her mother Du Muhao sitting on a small bench, holding a wooden stick in her hand, beating sunflowers. Seeing that those melon seeds quickly fell into the dustpan, she also wanted to give it a try.

Usually, her mother forbade her to do these jobs, saying that she was afraid that she would accidentally hit her hand.

Today, while her sister was also here, she walked over, found a stick, and tried it. After beating it a few times, the melon seeds can fall into the dustpan, which is really interesting.

The busier Li Xinke became, the happier he became, and in less than an hour, he helped Du Muhao put away the melon seeds.

The melon seeds that fell on the ground were shoveled up with a shovel, and a dustpan was found and put in the yard to dry.

On the sunflowers, where they were not hit by wooden sticks, there were still some melon seeds. Li Shanshan reached out and peeled off the melon seeds, and then picked out the plump melon seeds and put them in a dustpan to dry. The rest is put into a bamboo basket and carried to the chicken coop to feed the chickens.

Du Muhao saw that Li Shanshan was not in the yard, so he asked Li Xinke softly: "You and Shanshan have nothing to talk about, and when you are free, you will indirectly ask her if there is anything troublesome recently......

"Okay, Mom. ”

Li Xinke smiled slightly and nodded.
