Chapter 53: Draw a Family Portrait

Li Xin didn't expect that Li Shanshan herself was aware of this problem, so she smiled and nodded.

She and Li Shanshan are two sisters, and when discussing issues, whether it is praise or suggestions. In her opinion, there is no need to go around in circles.

"I remember. Li Shanshan said sincerely:

"Tomorrow after breakfast, I'll go draw a family portrait. I'll pay attention to that then. ”

Li Xinke reached out and rubbed Li Shanshan's forehead and said, "Okay." ”

After that, he walked to the cabinet, took out the mosquito coil, and lit it.

In fact, Li Xin doesn't like to smell mosquito coils, but there are too many mosquitoes at home. If you are not careful, you will burrow into the mosquito net. Staying casually for a while can leave large and small bumps on her and her sister's arms and hands.

It's buzzing all night, making it hard to sleep.

Li Xinke waited for the mosquito coil to burn for a while, and then went to drive out the mosquitoes in the mosquito net. Then he extinguished the mosquito coil, turned off the light, and went to rest with Li Shanshan.

The next morning, the family had breakfast together, and they all changed into new clothes and sat down in the living room. Li Shanshan sat with Li Xinke for a while, felt the warm atmosphere, and went back to the bedroom to work.

Li Xinke didn't have to go out to sell things for the past two days, and after breakfast, she consciously went to the field to cut grass and feed the fish.

Du Muhao saw that Li Xinke was going to do his work, so he quietly took a sickle, followed Li Xinke, and rushed to the field by the bamboo forest.

I saw Li Xinke bending down to cut the grass at the edge of the field, and carefully divided it into small bundles and tied them with longer grass. Although Li Xinke is relatively slow to do work, as long as he sees her doing farm work, Du Muhao will feel heartache.

When Li Xinke walked towards the pond with the grass in his arms, Du Muhao ran forward and said, "Wait." ”

Li Xinke was only concentrating on her work, so she didn't notice that her mother would come. Besides, when the mother comes here, the family dog will see it and will not make an unfriendly bark.

When I looked back, I saw that Du Muhao was also holding grass in his arms, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his trousers were soaked in dew.

"Mom!"

Li Xinke hugged the grass and crossed the layers of early morning mist. Walking on the long, narrow field path, still stained with morning dew, went to pick up the grass that her mother was holding.

"The road is slippery, Cocole, be careful. ”

Du Muhao was still not at ease, so he followed behind Li Xinke and followed Li Xinke to the pond.

Li Xinke stopped, looked at Du Muhao with a smile, and said, "Mom, you promised me." On this holiday, let my sister and I do more work, and you will rest more. Why did you forget what you promised us, so quickly?"

"I haven't forgotten, Coke. Du Muhao scattered the grass in the pond and said to Li Xinke:

"It's just that the other students in the village are reading and studying at home. I can't send you to the city to find someone to make up for you. I've become a medicine jar again, and I've even affected you......"

When Li Xinke heard this, his heart sank.

The scythe in his hand almost didn't hold it steady. I wanted to persuade my mother a few words, but I hooked my lips awkwardly, and I didn't know how to persuade her.

A trace of sadness flashed in Li Xinke's eyes. I thought to myself, in the fourth group of Meiling Village, there are not many students who took the high school entrance examination with her this year.

In addition to her being admitted to the county high school, several other students who were admitted to high school don't seem to be in the county very often, so find someone to make up for them.

Li Xinke smiled slightly, looked at Du Muhao standing beside him, and reached out to take off a small leaf on her shirt for her. As soon as he threw it, he threw it on the dirt ground at his feet.

"Mom, a holiday is only for such a period of time. Whether it's studying in the city or working at home. Just pass it casually, and it's over. I promise you that I will study hard and will not let you down. ”

It's just that it's inconvenient to tell her mother that she hasn't forgotten some of the knowledge she learned in the previous world. Even if she doesn't make up classes during the holidays, she won't be affected much.

Li Xinke saw that Du Muhao nodded, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Mom, you can rest assured. You and Dad are such smart people, and my sister and I will definitely be stupid too. We didn't read much during this holiday. But when we go to school, we will study harder. ”

Li Xinke went to the field and picked a handful of cowpeas. I took it home and fried it for my grandmother.

Du Muhao saw that the eggplants in the vegetable field were still growing well, so he squatted down, picked a few, and went home with Li Xinke.

Li Xinke saw that the door of the bedroom was still closed, and she knew that her sister was still painting in the bedroom.

When I walked into the kitchen, I saw that there were still hot steamed buns in the pot, so I took them out with chopsticks and handed them to Du Muhao. said, "Mom, you eat some first." I'll cook you some egg soup. ”

"Alas, Coco, those eggs are still from your Aunt Nianxin......"

"She sent it, if we don't eat it, won't we live up to her kindness?" Li Xinke said, so he used the bucket to fetch water and came back, and washed his face again.

Turn on the fire on the biogas stove, put a small pot on it, and make her mother egg soup to eat.

After the egg soup was ready, Li Xinke's grandparents also returned.

Li Xinke took a few more bowls out and asked her grandparents to drink some egg soup.

Xiang Changqi put down the dishes and chopsticks and proposed, "Mu Hao, the sun is a little big today, so don't go out to do things." This matter of drying melon seeds, let Coke and Shanshan do it. ”

"Okay, Mom. Du Mu responded.

Xiang Changqi sat in the living room and looked in the direction of Li Shanshan's bedroom, only to see that the door was still closed. He cleared his throat and said:

"I said these young people, they still can't get used to it. It's going to be ten o'clock, and some people are still sleeping in the house, and they don't say anything to help out......"

Li Xinke listened and quickly explained:

"Milk I milk, it's not like this......"

Seeing Xiang Changqi's displeasure, Li Xinke didn't dare to say anything. Go to the miscellaneous house and bring the dustpan to the yard and prop it up with a shelf, so that you can pour the melon seeds into it to dry.

After drying the melon seeds, I have to go out from time to time to have a look, so as not to let the birds fly to eat.

Li Xinke thought about her mother, who often sweated at night after she was sick. While she was at home today, she went to her mother's bedroom, removed the sheets, sheets, and pillowcases, put them in a large basin, and took them to the well to scrub them.

When Li Xinke washed and dried the sheets, he heard Xiang Changqi's voice.

"Coco, it's time to eat. ”

"Okay, Grandma. I'm coming. Li Xinke answered, took the basin, and went back to the house.

Li Xinke walked into the hall and saw her grandfather sitting at the dining table, holding a family photo and praising Li Shanshan while watching.
