When the scorching sun was in the sky, Li Jiaming, who went home and put the wooden barrel away, went out to the second aunt's house to wait for dinner, took a broken straw hat and pressed it on the little sister's head.

The straw hat was a little big, covering the little sister's eyes, and she raised her little head and said, "Brother, go to the second aunt's house so early?"

"Take you to play with Sister Man for a while, and the little sister will play with the little girl, don't shrink at home every day. ”

The little sister immediately stopped talking, only knowing that she held Li Jiaming's hand tightly and didn't let go, which couldn't help but make him look gloomy.

Li Jiaming's father passed on to his grandfather's widow and sister-in-law since he was a child, so he had three dilapidated mud houses, a mountain, and a field.

The year my little sister was born, my grandmother, who had always been healthy, fell and died of a cerebral hemorrhage, followed by her mother's postpartum hemorrhage. The people in the mountains are superstitious, and they don't know that it is the ignorant poisonous tongue woman, who says that the innocent little sister is the broom star and the mother, and what is even more hateful is that the eldest brother and the second brother, who are already fifteen or sixteen years old, also intentionally or unintentionally tease her, causing other children to do the same.

No matter how young and ignorant the child is, the little playmates will laugh at it a lot, and they will feel inferior and more timid and introverted. At the beginning, because of this Li Jiaming, he had a few fights with his little playmates, but after a long time, he also got used to it. Over time, the little sister is also used to staying at home and playing alone, sometimes when Li Jiaming is happy, or when her father is free, she plays with her for a while, that is when she is the happiest.

The shadow of childhood made the little sister grow up, others treated her well, she reciprocated others ten, and finally met someone who couldn't think about it, and drank pesticides sadly. Li Jiaming, who had already made some money, was sad and angry to spend money to hire a classmate who was the leader of the gangsters, and instructed a gang of gangsters to beat the king/bastard brother-in-law to a lifelong cripple, but what could that be? Li Jiaming still had to spend money to raise the king/bastard, don't let the bastard starve to death and freeze to death, because that wang/bastard is the biological father of his sister's only bloodline!

The past flashed in front of Li Jiaming's eyes, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said gently: "Don't be afraid, Sister Man will definitely play with you, believe in my brother." ”

The little sister was still a little interested, and agreed in a low voice, "Oh".

…………

The second uncle, the fourth uncle and the eldest uncle, the three families are crammed into a mud house with a north-south orientation, two floors, and five rooms on the top and bottom. After the death of Li Jiaming's father-in-law and mother-in-law, the eldest uncle's family accounted for half, and the other half belonged to the second uncle and the fourth uncle.

It's not that the parents-in-law were partial when they were alive, but that the eldest brother is the eldest grandson, and when the family is divided in the countryside, the eldest grandson also has to share the family property. The fourth uncle, who had just been married for a long time, couldn't get along with his aunt, so he shared a small kitchen with the second uncle after splitting up, and wanted to wait for the second uncle to help him buy cheaper reinforced concrete, and then build a brick house to live separately.

Li Jiaming took his little sister and came to the edge of the old house, when the twin eldest brother and second brother who were reading a book on the hanging floor shouted from afar, with a bit of mockery in their words, "Mingya, it's okay?

"Big brother, second brother", after Li Jiaming finished calling people, he encouraged the timid little sister, "Wenwen, don't be afraid, call people." ”

"Big brother, second brother", the little sister called like a mosquito, and her head was lowered.

"Don't be afraid", Li Jiaming picked up the broken straw hat on his little sister's head, revealing a clean little face, and continued to encourage: "Shout louder, my brother is here!"

"Big brother, second brother", the little sister's voice was a little louder, and Li Jiaming continued to encourage in a low voice.

"Big brother, second brother", the little sister finally mustered up the courage to raise her head, pulled her neck and shouted, happy Li Jiaming grinned and praised, "Well, this is good, my brother will accompany you in the afternoon hopscotch (a game for rural children)." ”

"Really?"

"Really! Wait a minute, call aunts and uncles, and they have to be so loud. ”

The little sister blushed and agreed heavily, "Hmm!"

The little sister shouted loudly just now, which made the eldest brother and second brother who were reading on the hanging tower stunned, and also alarmed the aunt and second aunt who were cooking in the kitchen, and the uncles who were waiting for food in the room, everyone came out to see what was going on, and the second aunt was followed by the chubby and full sister who was eating something. The little sister who was encouraged by Li Jiaming also immediately shouted loudly with a thick neck, and even Sister Man called Sister Man, for fear that her brother would not play with her in the afternoon.

After the little sister shouted, Li Jiaming also calmly greeted the uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle who came out of the room, pressed the broken straw hat on her little head again, and led her to the kitchen of the second uncle's house.

"Ming Yan, come here", the uncle who came back to his senses stopped Li Jiaming, and when he arrived under the eaves, he looked at it carefully, and said in the demeanor of an elder: "Okay?"

Li Jiaming, who is now 'sensible', is the person he looks down on the most in his heart, which is this uncle who has a lame left leg and was a substitute teacher in a village elementary school fourteen years ago, but he still said politely: "Okay, thank you uncle for your concern." ”

"That's good, that's good. Don't be so naughty in the future, learn more with your four brothers and study hard!"

"Oh", Li Jiaming agreed with a smile, and the second aunt standing at the door of the kitchen pouted, and said loudly angrily: "Mingya, bring Sister Wen over for dinner." ”

"Oh, here it is. Uncle, I'll take my sister to play with my sister first", Li Jiaming agreed, explained to the uncle who was still enthusiastic on his face, and led the little sister down the eaves to the second aunt's kitchen where there was no smoke yet.

The uncle behind him opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything to ask Li Jiaming to have lunch at his house, and the aunt who had just cut the bacon and was ready to treat the four students who were studying also had a smile on his face and selectively forgot about it.

The fourth uncle (aunt) was not so much borrowing the kitchen of the second uncle's house, but rather a partnership between the two families, Li Jiaming took his sister into the kitchen, and the curious second uncle and the fourth uncle also followed. The fourth uncle, who has been accustomed to being intimate with Li Jiaming since childhood, twisted his head and looked at him carefully, and quipped: "Tut-tut, you actually help your sister take a bath and wash clothes? You didn't break your brain, did you?" Second brother, did you say?"

"Hehe, it's smarter to break your braincase", Li Jiaming laughed with him, and also made the second uncle and fourth uncle happy.

The second uncle's rough slap also rubbed Li Jiaming's head, and said with emotion: "It's a little smarter, and the third is much easier now." Fourth, let's go see if the third child is finished, don't do it if you don't finish it, he's not hungry, he's hungry. ”

"Hey", the fourth uncle picked up the broken straw hat on the little sister's head, pressed it on his head and went out, and twisted her little face, and praised: "Sister Wen is also sensible, wait and ask your aunt to bring you fruits (snacks) to eat." ”

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle", there is no need to teach now, the little sister also agreed loudly, and the fourth uncle who walked to the door turned around, dug out his ears and said with a smile: "Sister Wen, don't be so loud, deaf the fourth uncle's ears, but there will be no fruit to eat." ”

"Oh, thank you, Fourth Uncle", this time the little sister's voice was much quieter, just enough to hear clearly, but it made the full sister who was chewing something next to her unwilling, "I want fruit too!"

"No, you just said I stink. ”

Manmei's mouth was about to cry as soon as her mouth was deflated, and the fourth aunt, who was choosing vegetables, hurriedly said: "Don't listen to the fourth uncle's nonsense, Manmei is the most obedient, wait for Aunt Wen to give you and Sister Wen fruits to eat." ”

The delicate Manmei was unwilling, and pouted: "I want it now, I want it now!"

"Okay, I'm afraid of you", the fourth aunt threw down the beans in her hand and led one to the room.
