Xiao Yao was awakened by Uncle Liu Jiali in contemplation, he looked up at his younger brother and her uncle, and said blankly:

"Ah, what's the blame? You go and tell her to clean up, I'll wait for her, and take her to the steel mill with me. ”

"So---- done?"

Uncle Liu Jiali was overjoyed, saw Xiao Yao nodding, and hurriedly ran back.

"Team Leader Xiao, you've done it like this, you're ....... ”

"Alas, I'll tell you the truth, I'm worried, she's so young, and there are still people by her uncle's side to take care of her, and when she comes to us, it's all on her own. What should I do if I'm hungry and frozen on such a cold day, what if she's homesick and crying?"

When the younger brother heard this, he burst out laughing.

"Team Leader Xiao, you don't lie it to me, and I won't hide it from you. This child is capable, he has endured hardships and sins. Her father died early, and in the past ten years, her mother dragged her sick body and took a bite to eat in the field. ”

"She has been wearing single clothes for many years for the winter, and she has done all kinds of hard work. You don't know how happy she was to see the clothes you sent her yesterday. She didn't want to wear it, and shouted that she wanted to keep it for the New Year. ”

"Her uncle praised you for being a good person, and Liu Jiali is coming to work with you. ”

Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed by what he said, he had never hooked himself up with a good person.

"She wants to come to work with you, and her uncle can't be angry. said that he had taken care of her all these years, and he had never heard her praise her uncle like this. Say that if she thinks you are better than your uncle, you will go to work with him, and your uncle will never care about you again. This is so big that she pesters her uncle, and she has to ask us if you want her. ”

"But she looks like a child laborer. ”

After listening to his younger brother's introduction, Xiao Yao became more and more sympathetic to Liu Jiali, but he was still worried.

"Hahaha, she has lacked food and clothing over the years, and her body has been in deficit. I also took pity on her, so I agreed that her uncle would bring her to work. Don't look at her young, in fact, she is eighteen years old, but she has been staying at home and has never been out of the house, timid, don't scare her. ”

The two of them were chatting and waiting for Liu Jiali. As soon as the building was capped, each team would slow down the progress, and the personnel would make corresponding adjustments, otherwise, the younger brother would not have time to chat with Xiao Yao here.

Not long after, Liu Jiali came over with her uncle, and Xiao Yao saw that she was still wearing the same clothes, wearing the same deep hat, covering her eyebrows, leaving only beautiful eyes with a timid gaze.

Her little face was very cleanly washed today, dark yellow and dull. Xiao Yao's heart was slightly sour, he reached out and took the package in Liu Jiali's uncle's hand, and said to Liu Jiali:

"You come with me. ”

Liu Jiali didn't dare to move, and looked at her uncle timidly.

"Go, you must listen to him in the future. Uncle can see that he won't harm you. ”

Liu Jiali's small mouth moved, and she followed Xiao Yao to Wang Guoying's residence with steps like a thousand catties. Zhang Hanxiang and Liu Yurou are gone, and Wang Guoying is still cleaning up the messy shed. Seeing Xiao Yao coming, he stopped what he was doing.

"You help her change her clothes here, and I'll take her to the steel mill. She wore so little, I was afraid she would freeze. ”

Xiao Yao put down the package in his hand and turned around to leave.

"I'm not cold, I want to keep the clothes you gave me to wear when I go home for the New Year. Wear it to my mom, she'll be very happy. ”

"Lili, obedient. If you wear such a little bit, how dare I ride your bicycle to take you to the steel mill? When we go home for the Chinese New Year, we will buy new clothes to wear for my mother. ”

Liu Jiali still doesn't want to, how can she have the money to buy new clothes? For so many years, the clothes she wore were all worn by other people's families and could no longer be worn before they were given to her, and many of them were passed on to her after several years.

"If you don't wear it, I won't take you there, do you know the road to make a bus?"

Xiao Yao saw that she was still hesitating, so he added. Xiao Yao's words worked, Liu Jiali pouted and began to open the package. Xiao Yao's heart was happy, and his face bloomed. Only then did he withdraw and return to his younger brother and Uncle Lili.

"What's so happy?"

"Lili wore too little, I asked her to change her clothes, she didn't do it, and as soon as I scared her, she obediently obeyed. Hahaha, it's really childlike. ”

When the younger brother heard this, he immediately pulled his face into a horse's face. He just told Xiao Yao that Lili was timid and asked him not to scare Liu Jiali. It had only been a few minutes before he scared her, and he was as happy as if he had eaten bee droppings. Who is this?

Uncle Liu Jiali also had a black line on his face when he heard this, and he even regretted letting Lili go to work in the steel bar class. In his opinion, Xiao Yao said that Lili is a child's heart, and he is not much older. Scaring people, are you so happy?

But neither of them can blame Xiao Yao, they just begged him to get things done, so they can't blame him now and don't let Lili go.

"Xiao Yao, look, such a beautiful little sister, you can leave her here. ”

Wang Guoying's shout attracted the attention of the three people. Xiao Yao was very surprised, didn't Wang Guoying never see Liu Jiali, as for shouting so much?

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, this is true at all, Liu Jiali changed into Wu Liangyuan's floral jacket and goose-yellow thick pants, which looked particularly lively.

On her slender neck, she was wrapped around the scarf that Xiao Yao had returned to Wang Guoying in the morning, and her long hair was freed from the deep hat, and she was irregularly flowing under the breeze.

Maybe it was because she was wearing clothes that she was reluctant to wear, Liu Jiali's dark yellow little face was a little red with excitement at this time. She shouted "uncle" very shyly, and hid behind his uncle and did not dare to probe.

And Lili's uncle, the moment he saw Lili, his eyes were full of tears. This child and her mother are like carved out of the same mold. In the past ten years, how much she has suffered and how many sins she has suffered, he knows best in his heart.

Today, for the first time, he saw his niece wearing flowers and branches, like a big girl, and reminded him of his sister who had suffered many disasters, and his tears flowed like beads.

"Uncle has no ability, so you and your mother have lived a life of no one or a ghost over the years. Lili, don't blame your uncle, it's not that your uncle doesn't want you to dress better and eat better, it's that your uncle can......'t do it. ”

As Lili's uncle spoke, he turned from sobbing to crying, and he hugged Liu Jiali in his arms without any image and began to cry. This sudden scene scared Xiao Yao and Wang Guoying stupid. The two looked at each other, not knowing whether to persuade him or not.

"Okay, okay, Lili is dressed beautifully, and she has changed to a new job, and she will get a lot more money in the future, and the future will be better and better. What a happy thing you are, why don't you cry endlessly? Team Leader Xiao is still waiting for Lili to go on the road. ”

The younger brother patted Xiao Yao and waited in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. Then he turned to Xiao Yao and said:

"Team Leader Xiao, I'm making you laugh. Alas, it's really hard for him, there are old and young, and he has to take care of his sick sister and granddaughter, and he doesn't fall, and he can be regarded as a tough guy. If he doesn't have a conscience, his family won't be able to live, where will he take care of them for more than ten years. ”

Happy families are similar, unhappy families, but each has its own misfortunes. The younger brother's words let Xiao Yao know that Liu Jiali, an uncle who doesn't talk much, can be called a man who values love and righteousness.

"Uncle, don't worry, Lili is by my side, I will take care of her. If you miss her, I can always bring her back to see you, anyway, I'll run back and forth, and I will stop by the way. If you have time, go and see her. If she's not used to working with me, she can come back to you at any time. ”

The crying of a big man made Xiao Yao set generous conditions, and maybe made his own promise. This is also Xiao Yao's appreciation of her uncle's personality charm.

"Thank you, thank you. I know that Lili is by your side, and no one dares to bully her. No matter how hard and tired she is, I don't worry, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to my sister. ”

After venting her grief, her uncle expressed his only concern, perhaps this was another bitterness he had for packaging Lili like that.

"I understand that if anyone bullies her, I promise to make him more sad to live than to die. ”

"Huh? You ....... ”

Xiao Yao's words were too ruthless, and they scared both her younger brother and her uncle into opening their mouths. Xiao Yao stopped talking nonsense, he flattened the changed package, put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and let Liu Jiali sit firmly before riding to the steel mill.

"Good guy, really nice guy. Lili followed her, and I was at ease. ”

From this little thing Xiao Yao did, her uncle saw that Xiao Yao really cared for her niece. Being poor doesn't mean you're stupid, it's just that the poor don't have the right to speak.

"Lili, is it cold?"

From Wood Street to the steel mill site, there are six or seven kilometers. After riding in silence for a while, Xiao Yao asked with concern.

"It's not cold, I've got the warmest I've worn today. ”

Lili's body was not cold, but her hands were frozen on the iron frame, but she was reluctant to say. It was much more comfortable than working in the fields in the winter, at least not in the freezing water.

But the action of rubbing her hands in the time still made Xiao Yao notice. Xiao Yao took off his gauze gloves while riding.

"Here, put on the gloves, you will get frostbite after a long time. ”

"I'm not cold, I'm really not cold. Team Leader Xiao, hurry up and put it on. Your gloves are too big for me to hold the car on. ”

Liu Jiali is a little clever, not only don't want it, but also give a reason.

At that time, gauze gloves were also a luxury item on the construction site. If he wasn't riding, Xiao Yao wouldn't wear gloves when he worked. In the cold winter, Xiao Yao took off his gloves for a while, and he felt that his fingers were freezing and aching, and he was almost numb, so he hurriedly brought them himself.

"Lili, you don't want to do it, you put your hands in my clothes, so you won't be cold. ”

Liu Jiali hesitated, but did so. Obedient, you go, you must listen to Team Leader Xiao's words. This was her uncle's greatest request for her. She also discarded the shredded shyness of the girl in order to be obedient.

"Team Leader Xiao, you're so warm,"

A warm and comfortable feeling spread from her two little hands all over her body, and Liu Jiali couldn't help but exclaim. But Xiao Yao felt that his waist seemed to be tied to two pieces of cold iron.

His muscles tightened, adjusting to the sudden cold.
