Chapter 20: Help
"Brother Painting, is it really you? When did you get back? The one who spoke was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, dressed in a floral dress and trousers, looking very pretty, with a pair of big black eyes staring at Li Hua, full of surprise.
"I came back yesterday." Li Hua replied politely, but there was a bit of strangeness in his eyes.
Li Shu on the side put down the cart, looked at the girl, and introduced to Li Hua with some teasing, "This is Chunni from the third uncle's house in the east of the village." "My fourth brother, say that he is careless, he has the ability to never forget, but say that he is careful, he never remembers the people and things he doesn't care about.
Chunni pinched the big black braid on her chest with her hand, and looked at Li Hua with a little coquettishness, "Brother Painting, don't you remember me again?" During the Chinese New Year, I also sent dates to your family. ”
Li Hua remembered the jujube, and when he went to school after the year, the eldest brother grabbed two handfuls and put them in his schoolbag, but he really didn't remember this girl, "Chunni, you also went to the market?" ”
"yes, my dad is over there." Chunni said and pointed to the couple who were also pushing a basket of fish behind them, and beckoned to them, "Mother, I'm here." ”
"Third brother, I'll push it." Li Hua took the opportunity to go to Li Shu and wanted to pick up the trolley.
Li Shu got out of the way with interest, and then said to Chunni, "Chunni, the third uncle has bad legs and feet, so he can't go over to help push the cart." ”
Chunni flashed to the side of Li Hua, bent down to help, and replied to Li Shu, "It's okay, my mother is there to help." ”
Li Shu frowned slightly, and pulled Chunni over, "Little girl, here is me and your fourth brother, you better go back to help the third uncle, besides, the third aunt sees that you are with us, and she will have something to say in a while." ”
"No, it won't." Chunni was a little anxious, and hurriedly grabbed the little girl who hadn't spoken on the side, "Qiqiao, tell the third brother quickly, did my mother ask us to help?" ”
Qiqiao seems to be a year or two older than her, but her temperament is much shy, listening to Chuniela come out to speak, Li Shu looked at herself with a pair of narrow and delicate eyes, her cheeks were already crimson, and she couldn't speak.
Chunni had to say by herself, "Really, third brother, my mother heard that Brother Li is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and she is going to buy some gifts at the market today, and let me send them in the evening." ”
"What does it mean for a big brother to marry a daughter-in-law?" Li Shu heard the fault in her words, "It's our family"
"Third brother, it's not too early, if you don't hurry up, it won't be easy to sell fish if you miss the market." Li Hua doesn't want outsiders to talk about his family's affairs, and besides, Li Man and Xiao Wu have been on the side.
These two people, one is kept in the dark and unaware, and the other is too careful and pure-minded, and he doesn't want outsiders' criticism to hurt them.
"Well, let's go." Li Shu didn't pay attention to the two girls anymore, and walked straight to Li Hua's side, although Li Hua was young, he really didn't do much work, and he was not familiar with the cart, and he almost fell into the ditch several times.
Li Shu laughed at his younger brother for only two years, and it was not easy to work, so he squeezed Li Hua away and pushed the cart by himself.
In front, Li Man led Li Xiaowu, but he didn't pay attention to the back at all, and the two walked with laughter.
Actually, I don't understand what to say, but the excitement and anticipation of new things are the same.
Li Man: "What are you doing in the market?" Selling sugar gourds? Juggling? Performing - there is wood on the chest that breaks the boulder? ”
Li Xiaowu: "The second brother said that there are a lot of people over there, there are a lot of delicious and fun, and the fourth brother said, if you sell fish, you will buy me buns to eat, meat filling." ”
Li Man: "By the way, will there be any selling to bury my father?" Or the bloody joke of a street bully snatching a woman? I don't know what the ancient heroes of Lu Dao were like? ”
Li Xiaowu: "Sister, the eldest brother said that there are many people there and there are bad people, and my sister must follow us later-"
