Liu Er didn't say anything.

Only Chen's voice kept coming out: "When you said that before, I actually didn't agree with it in my heart. You think too easily. But when I looked at Xiaohua'er and looked at me bably, I thought, where did she be so well-behaved and sensible before? If it had been placed in the past, it would have been noisy long ago if it hadn't been as desired, and it would definitely be a sprinkling and rolling to death or life. Now my daughter is so well-behaved, but I'm a mother who has no ability...... I couldn't bear to disappoint her. So I had to say that I would let your father call the shots. Think, let him be this wicked man. But I didn't expect this to happen. ”

There was silence in the room.

Outside the house, Liu Xiaohua thought in disbelief, it turned out that Chen had other ideas in his heart at that time. Suddenly, there was a feeling of 'unfathomable human hearts'. It's not that she blames anything, it's just that her family situation in her previous life was simple, and the living environment was simple, so she didn't experience anything. This is the first time that I have clearly known that people are 'like this' when they come out on the surface, but their hearts and thoughts can also be 'like that', even if they are relatives, they are often like this.

Suddenly there was an indescribable feeling.

After a while, Chen's voice softened a little, and he sighed and said, "I don't know, I thought you were my own son." It really makes me sad that you think about her like this. I feel even more ashamed of you. ”

Liu Er hurriedly said: "A-Niang has only kindness to me, how can I be ashamed?" If you really think about it, A-Niang and I are the same. It's all because of his ......"

Chen interrupted him and said, "That's it." I thought I hated him in my heart...... But when he died, my heart hurt so much, as if I had been cut a piece of flesh, and I was still uncomfortable with such a big scene. I think it's because it's been so many years after all, and the little flower is so big. In the end, he treats you and me well. Don't hate him anymore. When people die, the lights go out, there is nothing left, and you can't hate it. It's just that you're miserable for yourself. ”

Liu Er didn't speak.

Chen said, "If you think I'm a mother, don't hate me anymore." How can we tell right from wrong in the things of this world? Maybe without him, you would have died in someone else's hands. In this way, he is still the benefactor who saved your life. ”

Liu Er only said: "It was A-Niang who saved my life." Not him. I only remember that he took advantage of the fire to rob. If it weren't for A-Niang's mercy, I would have been killed by him a long time ago. ”

Chan just sighed. Say, "You kid." ”

"Auntie. I went to the village and asked. Whoever has a surplus of money and food to borrow? My sister and I went to the clan to study, and when we get a chance in the future, we will definitely return it to them twice. If they had, they would have borrowed it. As for what will happen in a month, let's talk about it then. Now that the days in front of me can't pass, how can you take care of it so far. Take one step at a time, maybe there will be a turnaround. Liu Er stood up.

"Why are you so stubborn!" Chen couldn't help but sob.

"If it's really just me who went, but she didn't go, wouldn't A-Niang be afraid of Sister A's resentment? When the time comes, for me, but the mother-son friendship is broken, and I can't compensate even if I die. ”

Chen wiped away tears and said, "...... Well, if you want to try, just try. Whether it can be Chengdu or not is your life. It's really sad for me that you're doing this. But it's okay, in case I have a good one, with you taking care of the little flowers, I can rest assured. ”

"Don't say anything good or bad. A-Niang must live a long life. A-Niang can rest assured. Liu Er swore and said, "If I want to be bad to Sister A, I won't die well." ”

As soon as Chen heard him swear such a heavy oath, he became angry again, "Phew." Don't talk nonsense. I can't take this as I swear. Even if you can't be nice to Xiaohua'er, you are also the son I worked hard to raise, and I want you to live a long life and live a safe life. Did You Know? ”

Liu Er said with a stuffed nose: "My son knows." ”

Liu Xiaohua listened in a daze, Liu Er suddenly went out and didn't have time to hide, and was knocked into the ground. Liu Er just glanced at her and went out the door. Chen hurriedly wiped away his tears. can see Liu Xiaohua's expression, and know in her heart that she was afraid that her daughter had heard something, so she simply asked Liu Xiaohua to come into the house.

"Since you heard it today, A-Niang will make it clear to you, so that you don't have to think about it." Chen said, "You don't have to worry about it, you are the biological daughter of me and your father, and your brother is not." He's your daddy from the outside...... Picked up. ”

explained like this, and said with a straight face, "Although you are not sisters and brothers, you are better than sisters and brothers, you have grown up together over the years, and your feelings are no different from other people's sisters and brothers." You must not be disgusted with him just because you know about it! I don't understand! ”

"Understood." Liu Xiaohua obviously felt that Chen had omitted the most critical part, such as why Chen hated his man, and why Liu Er said that his adoptive father took advantage of the fire to rob.

But Liu Xiaohua also knew that Chen had the intention to conceal it, even if she asked, Chen would definitely not tell her the truth. So he didn't speak.

"Do you think that A-Niang doesn't ask you to go to the clan school, and asks your brother to go, don't you feel sorry for you?" Chen sighed, "If you can afford two people, A-Niang would love you to go." But now, it's really barely enough to supply one. You are different from him, you are a woman after all, even if you have great ability, you can't grow old alone, right? When the time comes, he will be married. When you get married, it's certainly good to meet a man who is good to you. But if a man doesn't know his heart, he has to rely on his mother's family. If you don't have a powerful mother's family, anyone in your husband's family can hold you. Even if you have the ability to go to heaven and earth, there are many things and many words, you can't do or say it yourself, and if you do and say it, it is wrong, and you will be eaten to death by the rules, and you will also be eaten to death by the people of your husband's family. When the time comes, it is appropriate to work as a coolie for others, and it is common for you to be infamous if you don't go all out, but you can do your best to be low, but you can't get a good sound. But if you have a powerful brother, it's different. Your husband's family wants to borrow the power of your mother's family, and you will give it when you are willing, and if you are unwilling, you will only control your brother and push it. They know in their hearts that they have nothing to do with you, so they naturally have to respect you and please you. Do you understand? ”

Liu Xiaohua looked at the Chen family, and she didn't know that a village woman would tell such a tortuous truth to coax her daughter. Whether it's right or not, it's quite ingenious. So Liu Xiaohua couldn't help but look at Chen seriously for the first time.

She found that although Chen's face was old due to the hardships of life, she could still see a subtle difference from the other women in the village when she looked closely. She is very delicate, and her eyes alone need to be clearer.

"Do you understand?" Chen asked again.

Liu Xiaohua nodded, "Understood." ”

Chen stood up to help Liu Xiaohua pat off the snow on his body, and whispered: "He is not your own brother, but he only grew up under my raising, not to mention that he is still ......" After a pause, he did not continue, but said: "In short, he will have a great future in the future." And he has a resolute temperament and is a lover, and he will only treat you better than his own brother in the future. In fact, A-Niang also had the heart to let you marry him earlier. However, no matter how good a person is, no matter how heavy the friendship is, as long as you become a relative, day and night are opposite, and it will change over time, who will help you speak at that time? It's better to be a brother. A-Niang, this is wholeheartedly for your sake. Do you understand? ”

Liu Xiaohua was in a mess in her heart, and nodded, "Understood." ”

"Ah Er knows you want to go to the Ethnology. So be sure to find a way to get you into school too. Now I am begging for help, and when he comes back, you tell him that you don't want to go to the clan again. He is not a heartless person, so he naturally understands that you are thinking about him and will remember you well. This friendship between people is what you are good to me and I am good to you, and it slowly accumulates. You must also remember in the future that no matter how close you are, you must not squander the benefits of others. Don't be as nasty to him as you used to be. It's because he has a good temper that he is willing to let you go, otherwise, do you think that one day A-Niang will be gone, who will pay attention to you? ”

"Why is A-Niang not here?" Liu Xiaohua immediately comforted.

"Isn't your daddy gone in a blink of an eye?" Chen Shi said abruptly: "Where is the good thing in this world. You think you're like that in your life, and all of a sudden it's like that. I thought that this would be the end of my life, but suddenly it turned around again. ”

Liu Xiaohua felt that what she was referring to might not be exactly what was happening in front of her. may also be related to her own and Liu Er's previous affairs, and she is also a little embarrassed in her heart.

But no matter how well Chen said it and how much she had a reason, Liu Xiaohua's mood was not any better. She felt as if she had fallen into a lump in her chest, heavy. Chan sighed and lovingly brushed the messy hair back of her head.

The cries of the three branches next door came intermittently, probably because the stone had not yet returned.

Liu Xiaohua thought, even if she didn't have any ability and couldn't help her, it was not good to let her be sad alone, so she should accompany her. He put his advance behind him, said to Chen, and turned around to Sanzhi's house with heavy steps.

Sanzhi's house is even more dilapidated than Liu Xiaohua's house, and there is a big hole in the roof that has not been repaired, only pressed with a large wooden board, and it keeps leaking. There is also a pile of broken bowl slag in the corner of the wall, which may have been broken when Sanzhi Dad beat people last time.

Sanzhi squatted at the door with his legs crossed, heard the sound of someone coming in, and hurriedly looked up, but as soon as he saw that it was Liu Xiaohua, his face was immediately full of disappointment, and he continued to curse the seventh uncle while crying.

Liu Xiaohua squatted next to Sanzhi, thought for a while and said, "Don't cry." After racking his brains, he couldn't think of a word and a half sentence that would make Sanzhi in this situation feel better. And the three thin cries also made her heart more sour.

She silently stared at the trampled dirty sewage in the yard in a daze. But strangely, although she is sad, it is not entirely because her own future is dark after the death of her father. It's more because for the first time, I feel my own insignificance.

Although she was not a child of a rich family before, she didn't seem to have really suffered anything in her life, she had parents and babies at home, and when she went to work in a big city, she immediately met a boyfriend who had such good conditions and was obedient to her. It wasn't until now, after discovering these things, that she really understood the hardships of the people at the bottom and begged for helplessness.

But in the face of this situation, she couldn't do anything except scold a few words indignantly. And her fate is completely out of her control, and this sense of powerlessness makes her feel so depressed that she can't breathe.

She knew that there was no other way than to make herself strong and brave enough to take on a qiē.

"Don't cry. Don't be afraid. You don't have a stone, but you still have me. I will be your relative from now on. Liu Xiaohua said to Sanzhi: "In the future, we must become capable and promising!" Otherwise, you can only live like these people in the village, do the most dangerous work, earn the least money, and have to suffer humiliation and be bullied for the rest of your life. ”

Sanzhi nodded silently. turned around and hugged Liu Xiaohua hard and cried.

This heart-rending cry echoed over the mountain village under the silent snow for a long time
