The large and small bags went to the counter to settle the bill, and Li He touched his pocket, but he didn't have a dime.

Li Long didn't wait for Li He to open his mouth, he had already taken out his wallet and paid the money.

The position of the division and the college is not bad, but the condition of the road is not good, it is all bullet stone road, and the motorcycle is not stable to ride on it. He Zhaodi's house is not outstanding around a circle of residences, but it is the same as Li Long and his Liu Laosi's family, and it is better than the area.

A girl was making a stove at the door, the seal of the stove was facing the direction of the wind, and the fire on the stove was swaying upward.

She hurriedly picked up the tongs and put the briquettes into the stove, and the smoke immediately rose.

As soon as he heard the horn of the motorcycle, he quickly raised his head, and then greeted warmly, "Li Long, come in and sit." ”

"This is my brother, right?" Li He got down from the back of the motorcycle, and when he saw that this girl had a similar face to Zhao Di, he could guess it. He is away all the year round, and the age difference is four or five years from him, and he can only say that he is familiar, but he may not be able to name him.

"Second brother, you're back. "Li He is usually the 'other people's child' in everyone's mouth, and he has always been a role model for some parents to compare with their own children. Of course, the younger brother knows him, "Come into the house and sit." ”

Li Long asked, "Is Liu Laosi here?"

The younger brother said, "Here, help me chop wood in the yard." ”

Li He asked, "It's cold this day, why did you extinguish the furnace?"

The younger brother said, "The briquettes are fake, and if they can be sealed until the morning, they will be extinguished in the morning." ”

Li He smiled and followed Li Long into the house.

Not only Liu Laosi is here, but Wu Huozi and Mrs. Sang are also with Wu You.

Li He smiled and said, "Where are they?"

Mrs. Sang said, "This confinement can't be sloppy, women will live for a lifetime." Brother Lai is still a girl, and there are some things that he definitely doesn't understand. I arched the camel over and helped me. ”

"Hard, hard. Li He naturally felt a sense of gratitude.

Wu Huozi poked Wu You, "Why don't you know how to call people again?"

Wu You shouted with a grin, "Second uncle." ”

"Yo, the little girl grows up so fast. Li He measured her height with his hand, "It's all up to my waist." ”

Wu Huozi said happily, "I will be 6 years old in the New Year, and I am ready to send it to school for gangsters." ”

Li He said, "It's okay to be 6 years old, and it's no problem to study." ”

He looked inside the room from time to time, hoping to see Zhao Di, but the door in the house was closed, so he thought of finding an excuse to go in and have a look.

But Wu Huozi grabbed him and didn't let go, and when he saw Wu You follow Mrs. Sang into the kitchen, he whispered, "Dalong's daughter-in-law often blocks her, you say that after this..."

"Kill them, if the Ma family dares to make trouble in the future, I will help you fight back. The younger brother came into the door with the stove and answered casually.

Li He frowned and asked, "It must be the Ma family?"

Liu Laosi said, "This can't be wrong, you haven't seen Dalong's daughter-in-law, standing with Wu You, people don't have to think about it to know that they are the two of them." ”

"Then I can't give it to her, who let her throw it in the first place?" Wu Huozi was unhappy that Liu Laosi mentioned the word 'mother'.

Li He asked, "Did the Ma family say they wanted to go back?"

Wu Huozi said, "I haven't said this, but what does Dalong's daughter-in-law mean by slipping over and over again? Give Wu You an apple today, and a twist flower tomorrow, and let me throw it all away." ”

He is worried about this, the child is five or six years old, which is the age of playfulness, it is impossible to tie the child to his body every day and not let the child go out to play, right? But as soon as the child goes out to play, the woman of the Ma family will take advantage of his absence to find a way to talk to Wu You.

Liu Laosi said, "Camel, listen to me, you think too much." The Ma family already has three children, so if you send them back, do the Ma family dare to ask for them? A few days ago, I saw such a big girl in her family, wearing a pair of broken shoes on such a cold day, selling eggs and goose intestines in the commune, and her face was purple from the cold. At most, I say, they want to see their children think more than they want. ”

Li He patted the camel on the shoulder, "Instead of hanging it in your heart, it's better to spread it out and see what this Ma family thinks." ”

Wu Huozi shook his head, "I'm not afraid of the Ma family, they don't want to go back to my daughter." I'm just afraid, what will happen to this kid when he grows up, you know, this is a handful of and a handful of urine. ”

He was on the verge of crying when he said that.

Li He said, "You raised Wu You so that she would provide for you in the old age?"

Wu Huozi said, "That's not possible, how much can I eat? Where do I need her to raise it, if I am really sick, I will go to the house, and put on my clothes by myself, that's it." As soon as you close your eyes, you will be bothered to bury me in the ground, and you will not be able to live. ”

Li He said with a smile, "That's not it, let's do things without shame, the child will always grow up, and she will choose when she grows up." Even if she really chooses to recognize her parents, it is her own choice, we can all understand, who can easily give up her biological parents?"

"You said it easily. Wu Huozi resolutely did not believe Li He's words.

Suddenly, a loud cry of a child came out of the back room.

Li He was worried for a while, and pretended to laugh, "You guys talk first, I haven't entered the house to take a look." ”

Li He took a deep breath and finally pushed the door open.

Zhao Di was sitting on the bed and holding the child with a smile.

"Erhe, close the door and don't get into the wind. Wu Huozi reminded Li He, who was standing at the door in a daze.

Medium. Li He closed the door with his hand, looked at the two in front of him, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

When He Zhaodi saw Li He, she was stunned at first, and then laughed and said, "Why are you stupid, come and sit." I'm not going to stand up, there's a chair over there, you move over and sit on it. ”

Li He didn't find a chair, and sat directly on the edge of the bed, next to the two of them.

"It's okay. It took him a long time to find this sentence.

He Zhaodi said while coaxing the child, "He's very well-behaved, he doesn't make much noise, and he only hums a few words when he changes diapers." ”

As she spoke, she kissed the child's pink little face.

The skin of the child's whole body is fully unfolded, white and tender.

Li He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry." ”

He Zhaodi said suspiciously, "What are you sorry for me? Don't take care of yourself, it has nothing to do with you, the child is mine." ”

"But I'm responsible. "Li He can't be mistaken, this is his own son.

He Zhaodi said, "Li Erhe, you can figure it out, his surname is He." ”

"I know. ”

He Zhaodi said suddenly, "How about you say He Dali? ”

Li He said, "He wants to study." ”

He Zhaodi said, "Not everyone can go to college, if he can't get into college, can I still beat him to death? ”

"Why don't you change your name?" Li He worked hard for the naming rights, and when He Dali's name went out, he was embarrassed to say that it was his son, "How about He Zhou?" ”

"Thank you, then it's called He Zhou, and the nickname is Dali. ”

Li He said with relief, "That." ”

She said suddenly, "Erhe, you go out, I want to sleep." ”

Li He looked at the child with blinking eyes and said, "I want to hug him, is that okay?"

"Then you hug lightly. She moved her body up and sent the child to Li He's hands.

Li He took it carefully and hugged it hard, as if this was the most precious place in the world. He watched quietly, raised his hand and gently stroked the top of the child's head, even if the child couldn't call him a word of daddy, his heart melted.

Li He shook the child gently, humming a few words from time to time.

She said, "I guess I want to sleep, you can put it down." ”

Li He reluctantly put down the child, then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange the child in the future." ”

Since it is his son, he can cut a knife of flesh casually, which is enough for the child for a lifetime.

She smiled and shook her head, "He's a man, and a man has to earn his own family business, and he has to be better than you." My son, I don't think much of you. ”

Then he said to the child, "Right, son?"

It's as if the child can understand it.

"Yes, it must be better than Lao Tzu. Li He smiled very happily, every father is looking forward to his son surpassing himself and being better than himself. And fathers usually pin their hopes on their children.

She said, "If you have something to do, go and do your business, I can take care of the child." “

Li He was still about to speak, but the door had already been pushed open.

The younger brother stretched out his head and said, "Second brother, let's eat." ”

Zhao Di said, "Erhe, you go eat, I'm just crooked for a while." ”

The younger brother said, "Sister, you don't know, the second brother brought a lot of children's things." ”

"It should. Li He smiled and exited the room and closed the door.

Zhao Di's face was close to the child, tears rolling down her eyes and throat.

Li He absentmindedly ate a meal here and left again until the next night.

He didn't want to go to see Zhao Di every day, but he took Liu Laosi to see Zhao Di every two days.

But Zhao Di is sleeping every time.

Several times in a row, Li He didn't have the opportunity to talk to her alone again.

He knew she was avoiding him on purpose, but he couldn't figure out why.

The night before he left, he came to the door of the He family again, and he had to say a few words to her before leaving.

However, he saw Zhao Chunfang sitting at the door munching melon seeds, and her youngest son was holding sweet potatoes and nibbling on them, with a face full of faces.

Li He hesitated, but in the end he didn't go in and left disappointed.

When I returned to Hong Kong, it was only a few days before the Spring Festival, and the whole family was busy celebrating the New Year.

He Fang saw that Li He had been sullen since he came back from his hometown, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine. Li He smiled and could.

He Fang said, "The fourth child will come back in the afternoon, will you pick it up?"

"Good. Li He nodded in agreement.

"The fourth child got Oxford's application, do you want to celebrate and give her a gift?"

Li He said, "Isn't it that you don't go to Harvard?"

He Fang smiled and said, "Anyway, it's confirmed that it's Oxford, you can ask her specifically when you come back, but if you don't say a word, I'm a little unhappy to hear that tone on the phone." ”

The fourth child came back dejected with two suitcases in tow, and almost cried when he saw Li He.

"Out of breath. Li He scratched her head, "What a big deal, if you really want to enter Harvard, find your brother, don't talk about Harvard, it's no problem to cry Buddha." ”

He didn't ask more, but what he said was true, as long as he was willing to donate money, there was no school he couldn't get into.

The fourth child didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and opened his hand, "I hate it!

"Alright, go home. "This is the first time Li He has seen Lao Sisheng so angry.

It appears that the injuries are severe.
