At half past ten in the morning, if his father hadn't told him to get up and eat, Li Bayi wouldn't have woken up.

On the night after returning home, Li Bayi slept very peacefully, and because of the fatigue of the journey, he slept until the sun was shining, and even the sound of his mother chopping wood to cook pig food and cooking in the stove room did not wake him up.

He stretched comfortably, did not wash his face, and habitually walked out of the door, ready to take a walk in the small pine forest in front of the gate. This is a habit he maintained in his previous life, he has to walk before and after meals, and move his stomach, hands and feet.

"Da Ye (i.e. "Uncle"), are you back? A young and sweet female voice sounded.

Two tattered children sat on the side of the road behind the house and played, calling themselves the older little girl.

Li Bayi habitually responded, and asked with some confusion: "Which child are you?" ”

"That's the girl from Wang Guangzhen's family." It just so happened that the mother came out to carry firewood, and when she heard her son asking, she said with a smile.

Li Bayi jumped up in shock: "Wang Guangzhen's? Is it Xiaomei and Xiaoer? ”

The mother said a little strangely: "Yes! How do you know their names? ”

Li Bayi said "uh", he hurriedly went over and picked up Xiaomei, she was not idle, she was dirty, and while taking out a piece of tissue to help her wipe her nose, he asked gently: "Little baby, how old are you?" ”

How could he not know Xiaomei? This is his little girlfriend in his previous life, who has been with him for three years, and is one of the girls he loves the most.

As soon as the little girl was held in Li Bayi's arms, she felt indescribably relieved, and a strange warmth rose from the bottom of her heart, as if Li Bayi was her dearest relative, she leaned her head on Li Bayi's chest, and replied in a milky voice: "Big yes, I'm four years old." ”

Xiaomei carelessly put her little face on Li Bayi's hot cheeks, and rubbed it gently, her heart was sweet and silky, with infinite attachment.

Li Bayi didn't speak, he just hugged Xiaomei like a treasure, his heart was warm, he most truly experienced the benefits of rebirth, and his thoughts fell into the best memories.

Xiaomei is a girl she met when Li Bayi's career and love both failed and her emotions were at their lowest ebb.

At that time, Li Bayi was already thirty-two years old, and he lost four battles in his career, not only was he penniless, but even his girlfriend was someone else's lover behind his back.

He was exhausted, scarred, and especially mentally exhausted. So he went back to his home in the countryside and wanted to lick his wounds quietly.

But my father didn't understand, if you are a college student and move all your belongings back to the countryside, do you still have to support your father, who is nearly sixty years old, to support you. Whenever Li Bayi's private resignation is mentioned, the two masters always have to quarrel.

During that time, Li Bayi almost went crazy.

If there is no Xiaomei, Li Bayi may be another Guo Wen.

That day, when Li Bayi was reading a book in the wing of the tiled house inside, he suddenly heard his mother talking loudly in the outer courtyard, mixed with the voices of other women.

Li Bayi came out to take a look, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl pulling each other with her mother, and her mother laughed and scolded from time to time: "Little ghost girl, tell you not to pull, I still want to cook pig food." You see, my fire is going to be extinguished. ”

At this moment, the little girl saw Li Bayi coming out, grabbed Li Bayi's hand as soon as she ran over, and then dragged her straight out of the door: "Daye, go to my house for dinner, my family will kill pigs today." ”

The little girl was very beautiful, with long braids, thin eyes, and a slender figure, and she was a young and beautiful little girl.

It's just that the clothes are too old and dirty, and in some places there are hard black spots that can't be washed off, which are obviously the slurry splashed when cutting the sweet potato vines.

Between the pulls, a moving breath of a young girl drilled straight into Li Bayi's nostrils, and inadvertently, Li Bayi's arm touched a small protrusion on her chest, which actually made Li Bayi's red ears hot, and his heart pounded wildly.

Looking at the little red face in front of him, and a pair of squinting eyes that were as pure as morning dew, Li Bayi held back a strong sense of surprise, turned his head sideways and asked his mother who was chopping pig food: "Mom, whose girl is she?" ”

"I'm from Wang Guangzhen's family!" The little girl replied crisply.

"Are the girls of Wang Guangzhen's family so old?" Li Bayi was extremely surprised.

When I knew that Xiaomei was fourteen years old, I was secretly happy in my heart, and something called ambition quickly grew and spread in my heart like a weed.

At first sight, Li Bayi was fascinated by Xiaomei's youthful breath and fell hopelessly in love with her.

What a song of youth that is! Enthusiastic, vibrant, stubborn, curious, there is the oppression of reality on her, but more of it is a girl's dream full of moving atmosphere.

It is a human virtue, a crescent moon in the clear sky, a small grass under the boulder!

It was a kind of fiery youth that Li Bayi was about to be consumed, a kind of healthy and uplifting beauty.

Li Bayi took her little hand, "Don't worry, it's still early, I'll go in a while." ”

Xiaomei's small hands, the arm part is relatively delicate, but the palm is very rough, which is obviously caused by long-term work. An emotion called "distress" quietly crept into Li Bayi's heart.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's already time to eat, and we're all waiting."

Xiaomei didn't know Li Bayi's mind at all, but just shook Li Bayi's hand vigorously, lying coquettishly.

The delicate voice, the delicate appearance, and the strange feeling between the arms all made Li Bayi's tired heart begin to liven.

Because of Xiaomei, Li Bayi cheered up again, and as soon as the New Year was over, he went to Tuocheng, and then found a job as a proofreader in the newspaper, and slowly saved up and started his fifth business.

"Wow......"

The baby's cry woke Li Bayi.

It turned out that Xiao Er, who was sitting alone on the ground and playing, said "mmmm" a few times, and when she saw that no one paid attention to her and her sister didn't play with her, she stopped doing it and cried loudly.

The heartwarming scene is broken, and Xiaomei hurriedly struggles to get down to the ground to hug her sister.

Li Bayi put down Xiaomei's small body and said to the sisters: "You wait here, I'll give you candy to eat." ”

After saying that, he ran into the house, grabbed a large handful of candy bought in Tuocheng, as well as pastries and fruits, packed them in a plastic bag, and took them out to the sisters.

"Oh, this is for you." Then he stuffed two more red envelopes to them, each with a hundred yuan.

Coincidentally, in his previous life, at the same time and place, he also gave the sisters something to eat, but it was the old broad beans.
