"Xi'er, hasn't the fire been lit yet? Come here, my sister will make a fire, you go to read a book, and when my sister earns money, I will send you to study medicine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Ruolan, dressed in coarse cloth, walked in from outside with a vegetable basket.
Seeing Si Ruoxi who was stunned, and seeing that the stove was not hot, guessing that my sister didn't want to make a fire to cook, Si Ruoxi looked at Li Ruolan with a sour heart and a fever in her eyes, which was not available in the first two worlds.
It's winter at the moment, Li Ruolan is wearing a coarse cloth jacket, patches everywhere, and the color is even white, Si Ruoxi knows that this is what their mother used to wear, and she doesn't keep warm after washing too much, Li Ruolan saves, and the wages she earns are used to buy clothes and shoes for the original owner.
A pair of hands are even more frozen, red, swollen and cracked, just went to the lake to pick up water and wash vegetables, and now the work of the whole family is done by the two sisters, the original owner goes to school during the day, Li Ruolan has to stay at home to do housework, every day she has to go up to the lake that is not frozen to carry water, fill several large tanks, and almost prepare to cook.
In those days, early after school, the original owner would help his sister make a fire when he got home, but he would often complain a few words, Li Ruolan smiled every time she listened to it, and she would not leave anything behind.
The original owner's father has three brothers and one sister, in addition to the aunt Li Cuilian who married out, and the family of Li Guohua, the uncle who has long been separated, is the eldest of the original owner's father, Li Guoguo, the second in line, the third uncle Li Guochun, and the fourth uncle Li Guocheng.
"Sister knows that you feel sorry for your sister, but if your sister doesn't work, your father won't give you school, and he won't give us food to eat, Xi'er is good." Li Ruolan thought that her sister felt sorry for herself again, so she hurriedly went to comfort her.
"My aunt is pregnant again, and the doctor at the head of the village said that he is still a son, and his father and grandmother are happy, so he doesn't let his aunt work, and when my aunt gives birth, my sister can do less work."
"Don't stay here anymore, help my sister go and see if my little brother is peeing his pants." Li Ruolan said as she pushed Si Ruoxi outside.
Aunt is the daughter-in-law of the original owner's father, the original owner and Li Ruolan have always called her aunt, the younger brother is called Li Qiang, the child born in the first year of the stepmother, and now she is more than a year old, and Li Ruolan cleans up the bed and pulls her pants.
"Sister, let's go out to live, now the handmade embroidery can be sold to make money, didn't our mother teach you?" Si Ruoxi thought in her heart, now that she is here, it is impossible for Li Ruolan to continue to be a cow and a horse for this family.
First of all, the most urgent need is money, the original owner's mother has a handicraft is embroidery, which is said to have been handed down by the ancestors, when the original owner was still young, it was only handed over to Li Ruolan.
Si Ruoxi knew that when Li Ruolan was busy stealing air, she would secretly show off a few pockets of her clothes and ask Aunt Liu next door to take them to the market to sell, and the money she got was all given to the original owner to buy school supplies.
"What are you talking about, it's hard to let the milk hear it." Li Ruolan's face changed, and she hurriedly pulled Si Ruoxi into the kitchen again, and looked towards the courtyard to see that no one had closed the door, so she patted her chest and blamed.
"Sister, I heard my aunt tell my father last night that when I finish this year, she won't let me go to school, and my aunt also said that she would marry me to Li Daniu at the end of the village." Si Ruoxi's words are not fake, there is also this paragraph in the novel, but Li Ruolan overheard it herself.
Li Ruolan didn't tell the original owner what she heard, she married the butcher by herself, and the gift money she received was not given to her father.
The stepmother knew that there was a big fuss, and her grandmother also called Li Ruolan unfilial, and finally ended with Li Ruolan being slapped by Li Guoguo, these things were unknown to the original owner.
"How is it possible, no, my aunt told me that I was working at home, and she would let you go to school." Li Ruolan shook her head in disbelief, her lips turned white.
"It's true, my aunt has received the engagement gift from Li Daniu's family, our grandmother knows about this, and the family knows it, so she will hide it from the two of us, sister, I don't want to marry Li Daniu, sister, let's not stay in this family, okay?" The gift money has not yet come to receive it, this is what Si Ruoxi deliberately said in order to make Li Ruolan make up her mind to leave this house.
"Impossible, no, I won't let you marry Li Daniu, no..." hugged Si Ruoxi, Li Ruolan's eyes changed from confused to firm, she would not let these people ruin her sister, she promised her mother to take care of her sister.
"Xi'er, sister will go cook first, and we will discuss this matter in the evening, you believe sister, sister will definitely protect you, remember not to tell anyone about this?" The children of the poor are in charge of the house early, Li Ruolan is not stupid, she has no mother when she was a child, she learned how to protect herself and her sister.
The countryside is patriarchal, the mother did not give birth to a son, the father married the stepmother, and did not wait to see her and her sister, Li Ruolan knew since she was a child that she could only rely on herself, and there was a younger sister waiting for her to protect.
"I know, sister, I'm going to see my little brother, he's going to pull his pants, and my aunt is going to scold you again." Si Ruoxi also knew that this matter was in a hurry, the initial goal had been achieved, Li Ruolan cared about her sister, and when she heard her stepmother's attention to hit her sister, she would definitely not sit still.
Si Ruoxi walked through the courtyard to the West House, Li Qiang was sleeping at this time, Si Ruoxi picked him up, opened the diaper under his buttocks, and it was really wet.
Si Ruoxi has a younger brother who is many years younger than her, and naturally he has taken care of the child, but there is no diaper at this time, and in the memory of the original owner, I learned that the child wets the bed at this time, and it is made of old cotton clothes to prevent urine on the bed when sleeping, and the diaper will be folded into a long strip in the open crotch pants, first stuffed in the back and then stuffed in the front, the bag is tight, and when the diaper is dirty, it will be washed and then used after washing.
found a new diaper from the box, Si Ruoxi wrapped Li Qiang according to the steps in his memory, took the wet diaper and went out to wash it.
