Chapter 63: Here comes the troublemaker
Ten days after returning from the hospital, Dad Li was already able to get out of bed and walk a few steps. But because he was afraid that he would break the wound that had finally healed, Li Xiaonuan still persuaded him to lie down and recuperate for a few more days.
Knowing that Dad Li was annoyed because he had been lying down for too long, Li Xiaonuan found the Tao Te Ching and studied Taoist literature with Dad Li. At first, Daddy Li didn't listen to a few words, and then he would fall asleep. Later, he actually heard the interest, and began to look at it himself.
If you encounter a word you don't recognize, you will ask Li Xiaonuan or Li Xiaoyang. It really didn't make sense, and the family began to get agitated. Later, every time Xiao Gang went to the hospital with questions, and came back with answers in the evening, the family got together with interest to discuss.
Life should be so plain. Li Xiaonuan gets up early every day and walks around the village to talk to the villagers. After I came back, I had breakfast and wrote and painted until noon. After that, take a nap and discuss a few words of the Tao Te Ching with Daddy Li.
Before dinner, she either went to Granny Yu's to see the fish, or went to Aunt Zhou's house to do needlework with Jingjing. After dinner, she continued to write and draw for a while as usual, and then fell asleep contentedly.
Maybe it was because they were living too well, and God was a little jealous, and they began to find trouble for them again. No, in the morning, Li Xiaonuan's right eyelid jumped suddenly.
She walked slowly on the village road with the crutches that Li Xiaoyang had sharpened. Nowadays, everyone is fertilizing the seedlings. Therefore, it was only morning, and there was no adult on the road.
A group of children chased each other and ran from under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and seeing Li Xiaonuan from a distance, they did not slow down or avoid it. Li Xiaonuan consciously stood behind the stones on the side of the road, wanting to wait for the children to pass before moving forward.
The children ran to the place where Li Xiaonuan was standing before, and did not go directly, but discussed around Li Xiaonuan.
"She is Li Xiaogang's sister, I heard that she was disabled by her grandmother, and she will have to walk like this in the future." A tiger-headed boy, about five years old, said.
A girl about seven years old heard this. pulled the pigtails on the boy's head and scolded: "Stupid, how can you say bad things about people in front of people." If you are disobedient again, be careful that grandma will beat you like this. ”
A little girl about three years old raised the soft dog tail grass in her hand, whipped it at Li Xiaonuan, and said, "If you are disobedient, I will beat you." ”
The six-year-old boy who was guarding her behind him hurriedly grabbed her hand and persuaded: "Yangyang, don't beat her, it's not her fault, it's her grandmother who beats people indiscriminately." ”
"That is, don't listen to the golden woman's nonsense, you can't believe her words. Sister Xiao Nuan is obedient, she used to give us candy to eat, have you forgotten? The man who said this was a black boy about six years old and very sturdy.
The seven-year-old girl said to Li Xiaonuan again: "Sister Xiaonuan, Mrs. Jin is at the entrance of the village, talking bad about you to your grandmother and your fifth aunt." ”
The black boy said again: "That woman is really annoying, and not long after she was beaten, she began to gossip again." ”
Li Xiaonuan was first shocked by the childish words of these children, and then, listening to what they said one by one, she found it interesting again. Especially the soft and glutinous voice that is unique to children.
When she saw the black boy looking like an adult and accusing the golden matchmaker, she couldn't help laughing. Seeing that the children were all stunned and laughing at themselves, Li Xiaonuan asked, "Would you like to go to your sister's house to eat candy?" My sister's pickled candy before is good, but it's sweet. ”
When the three-year-old lamb heard the sweetness, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Sister, the sheep loves sweet fruits." ”
The tiger-headed boy also said, "Let us go quickly, lest her grandmother come and drive us away, and we will not be able to eat the fruit." ”
Li Xiaonuan smiled even more, turned around, and said, "Yes, let's go back quickly, otherwise we won't be able to eat." ”
The black boy first rushed forward a few steps, but he didn't know what he thought, and then ran to Li Xiaonuan and asked, "Sister Xiaonuan, can I go home and call my sister too?" ”
Li Xiaonuan was comforted by the innocence of several children, and her heart was soft, and she would not refuse. Therefore, she said: "Your sister is still young, I'm afraid she won't be able to go fast." I'll give you a jar, and you can take it home and eat it slowly with your sister. But you can't eat too much, you'll have a bad stomach. ”
When the black boy heard this, he showed his little white teeth. He bent a pair of crescent-like eyes and replied contentedly, "Well, I know." After saying that, he ran away again.
After sending away a few noisy children, the old lady took her fifth aunt Chen and appeared in front of Li Xiaonuan's house. Looking at the menacing two, Li Xiaonuan secretly scolded: It's really not worry-free.
"I heard that your father is back, where is he? Let him come to me, I have something to discuss with him. As soon as she sat down, the old lady began to give orders.
The arrival of these two people made Li Xiaonuan feel numb in his scalp. To this day, the scabs are still there where her hair was ripped off. If I can't grow hair in the future, I don't know how beautiful it will be.
deliberately walked in front of the two people on crutches, found a high stool and sat down, Li Xiaonuan said unhurriedly: "My father is not in good health, and he can't get out of bed." ”
Seeing Li Xiaonuan's cold attitude, Chen did not serve tea to the two. Coupled with her stiff legs, she felt very weak. Seeing that the old lady had a tendency to get angry, she smiled and said, "Oh, I haven't even been able to visit his uncle." Xiao Nuan, why don't you take me to see it? ”
Li Xiaonuan snorted coldly, and refused without looking at the smirk on his face: "I advise you not to visit my father." Men and women don't kiss, and if you don't know, you still think what you think of my father. ”
was choked by Li Xiaonuan like this, and Chen's eyes turned white with anger. But thinking of the purpose of this trip, she gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to scold. After taking a few deep breaths, she pulled her lips and smirked:
"Xiao Nuan, you can't talk nonsense. Isn't it because your grandmother has something to discuss with your father? Why don't you find a way to get your dad out? ”
The face is really big, he looks down on my father like this, so don't come to him to discuss things.
"No, my dad is too weak and needs to stay in bed for a long time. Besides, if you get a knife in the kidney, you can move it at will? If one says it badly and makes him so angry that his wound ruptures, do you want his life? ”
Before Chen could say a few more words, the old lady spoke. "Okay, since your father can't come out, it's the same if you bring your mother."
was cold to his relatives, and Li Xiaonuan spoke politely: "Grandma, our family is now my home, and it's useless for you to find my father." If something happens, just tell me, maybe I'll say yes. ”
