"That's what I said......"

Xu Haisheng felt that the sense of insult he received in his heart was gone because of the things he bought just now, in short, no matter what he did in the future, he had to become a useful person.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" the stone scratched his head, he didn't understand what they were saying.

"Haha, didn't say anything. ”

Xu Ning smiled, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief stone, and the side of his mouth when he ate the sugar gourd was stained.

"Sister, let's go over there. After speaking, he pulled Xu Ning into the crowd.

Xu Haisheng watched them walk in front, thinking that it must have been Ah Ning who knew that he didn't have enough money just now, so he deliberately picked a cheap scarf, and her empathy made him feel that he was lucky to meet such a good girl as Ah Ning. It's just that she didn't want to get engaged so soon, and her eyes darkened again.

Seeing that there were a lot of people over there, they hurriedly followed them, they were now watching street performers, which was the most attractive, and there were many onlookers. After watching it for a while, the stone was reluctant to leave.

The three of them finally went back eating roasted sweet potatoes.

"A-Ning, I'll come to see you on the first day of the new year, and I'm going out on the third day ......of the new year."

I really can't bear it, Xu Haisheng only feels that this place is much better than the cold dormitory where he works by himself, and he will have to live alone when he goes out next year.

Wait for another year to work next year, and the year after next he will join the army.

Xu Ning nodded, it was really not easy for him to go out to work at his age.

"Brother Asheng, come on!" the stone called out to him in front.

In the past, it looked like it was a snare, and the stone had a lot of fun, although it didn't end up wearing anything.

After walking for more than an hour, the three of them went back, and at noon Ah Sheng stayed to help Xu Ning cook, and only went home after eating.

In the afternoon, Xu Ning and Li Xiumei planned to tidy up the yard. It's cold, and many potted plants have been moved to the flower room, where the temperature is warmer, and the flowers don't die easily.

"Mom, it's snowing heavily, let's fix it after the year. ”

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the hands of the two of them are so cold that their hands are red, and Xu Ning is still very afraid of the cold no matter what kind of cultivation he is.

Li Xiumei looked at the messy yard, the vegetables planted before were frozen to death, and there were many withered flowers and vines wrapped around the wall, everything looked at here was a mess, and she could only sigh in distress, it had been cold recently, and she had no time to deal with it after the year.

After washing my hands, I heard a knock on the door as soon as I came out.

Stone hurriedly ran to open the door.

After a few seconds, I saw him running over and saying, "Mom, a man said it was my uncle, and he was in a hurry to find you." ”

"Uncle, how could he be looking for me, he's not ......"

Li Xiumei put down the rag, frowned and said, when she looked at the embarrassed man who walked into the courtyard and the two children behind her, her voice stopped abruptly.

"Xiumei, it's really you!" The man's clothes were tattered and dirty, his face was full of tiredness and frost, and the faces of the two children looked frozen red. The older one is that the girl looks about two or three years older than Xu Ning, and the younger one is that the boy is about the same age as a stone.

"Brother, how did you get here, and how did you become like this?" her brother was three years older than him, but at the moment he looked like a man in his forties and fifties.

"Didn't you go with Xu Dafu before, I remember that you went back here, we went to the village where you lived, but the people in the village said that you don't live in the village, you opened a shop here, and you stumbled into this by mistake, but I didn't expect to really find the right one, cough!" After coughing a few times, he stopped.

"Are these two children brothers?" the girl Li Xiumei knew that when she left, the child was six years old.

"It's all my children, poor siblings. Li Xiuquan's eyes were red after speaking, but it was good to find his sister-in-law, otherwise they wouldn't know what to do.

"Brother, it's cold outside, go in first, A-Ning, go and cook some ginger soup for your uncle to drink." ”

After all, it was his own brother, and he didn't care about the grievances that drove her away before, especially when he saw that their clothes were dirty and thin, half-wet, and shivering with cold, he couldn't bear it.

Then she went into the house and found her own clothes for Li Wenying to wear, and Shi's clothes for Wenhua to wear, and her brother had to change into a set of clothes that Shi's father still had before his death.

After the three of them cleaned up, Li Xiumei went to cook rice for them early.

The three of them were starving, they didn't have anything to eat in the past two days, they came all the way from the neighboring city, they took a short car at the beginning, and they had no money in the back and could only stop and go, and they didn't know how to support until now.

The three of them walked a long way, and the soles of their feet were blistered. After the two children finished eating, Li Xiumei was worried about what to sleep at night.

"Mom, let's do it, my uncle lives in the warehouse in the front store, and there is nothing in it now. I'll sleep with you, Jianhua will sleep with Shi, and my cousin will live in a small room if you are wronged. Xu Ning suggested.

The family is so big, there are two large bedrooms, plus a small cubicle, and the uncle can only go to the front to live, and it is more convenient. Now the front store is cleaned up, and there are no rats in the warehouse.

Li Xiumei nodded in agreement: "It's okay, it's just that it's a little cold over there......

"Xiumei, it's okay, just have a nest to sleep in. Li Xiuquan is full at this time, and he just wants to have a place where he can lie down and rest and sleep.

"Mom, take one more bed for the quilt and give it to my uncle, and then add a brazier. Xu Ning suggested.

In the end, Li Xiumei obeyed Xu Ning's arrangement and asked them to rest first, and then ask them in detail tomorrow what happened.

At night, Xu Ning slept in the same bed with her mother.

Seeing her mother sitting at the head of the bed in a daze, she felt that her mother was not easy. was abandoned by her own father, and then kicked out by her mother's family, and finally married Shi's father and had a family, but within a few years, Shi's father was shipwrecked when he went to sea. The fate is bumpy, if it were a woman who is not strong-willed, she may have left this family and ran away. It's not that there are no such examples, there is a family in Xujia Village that is like that, the man died, leaving a child and the woman felt that it was too hard, so she left the old man and the child, and never went back. Her mother was not easy, and she never thought about remarrying, and she raised two children by herself. Now that my uncle has brought two children to join her, I feel very stressed when I think about my future life...... It's just that she has to say what needs to be said.

"Mom, what do you want?"

Li Xiumei looked at her daughter, the food at home was better these days, and she finally raised some meat with a smile, the family bought a house, and her life was getting better and better, and her brother came at this time. She knows very well that her brother has grown flowers all his life, and he has no other skills, so he doesn't know what to do in the future.

Xu Ning saw that her mother didn't speak, but just looked at her stupidly, so she said lightly: "Mom, my uncle is a little bad......"

"You...... What do you see?" asked Li Xiumei with a shudder.
