Li Aobai returned, carrying a marching bed and two quilts. After entering the house, I put down my things first, and then tinkered with the outhouse for a while. Zhang Xiaoqiang walked out and saw that he had separated a small space in the outhouse, and put the marching bed outside, neatly laid out.

He said to his daughter-in-law, "Qiang'er, what do you think of this place?" The stove's radiator just passes by here, and it's not too cold at night. It's just that the bed is a little smaller, and for the time being, I can only do this, and I have wronged you. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at this "small room", if it weren't for her younger brother in the house, she would definitely throw herself into her husband's arms and reward him.

After eating, the small room in the outhouse was fine. The four of them sat around the fire, and Zhang Xiaoqiang said to Zhang Yang, "Yangwa, can you tell me what's going on?" ”

Zhang Yang lowered his head and pondered for a while. He said: "Since you left, Widow Wang has nothing to do all day long, either arguing with Ou Chunhua or grandma, and the family can't be peaceful at all. She plays cards every day, no one can say, and when she loses, she will take out her anger on me and my brother. It's either beating or scolding, Dad doesn't care at all, as if he can't hear or see. ”

As he spoke, he began to sob: "My brother and I are superfluous at home!" As he spoke, there was a look of resentment in his eyes.

"Grandma originally expected the widow to sell the old house and build a new house, but the widow Wang was a thief and had no intention of doing so. Later, Ou Chunhua didn't know who she heard from anyone that there was a desperate family (no children and no daughters) and wanted to buy a child, so she began to play Zhang Chen's idea. Speaking of this, Zhang Yang's teeth gritted and gurgled: "Originally, the widow Wang and Ou Chunhua were not compatible, who knew in this matter." The two of them muttered together. ”

Zhang Yang paused and continued: "Ou Chunhua also brought people from that family to see Zhang Chen, and every time they talked, I tried to eavesdrop. Fat Zhang Zhen also said in front of us that he wanted to exchange Zhang Chen for money. Zhang Xiaoqiang really couldn't think of it. These people are so hateful that they don't even spare a child.

She said, "So how did you get out?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "When you left, you said that if we have something, you can find Uncle Yong'an." So I quietly told Uncle Yong'an, he didn't believe it at the time, but when the two families finally wrote together, he did believe it. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang obviously felt Zhang Chen trembling in her arms, and she hugged Zhang Chen tighter.

"Uncle Yong'an took the two of us out of the village before dawn. He borrowed a bicycle and took both of us to the county seat and took the big car. Then we went to the train station and put us on the train in Harbin. I followed the address on the envelope and found it all the way. When Zhang Yang said these words, he was very calm. An eleven-year-old child with a younger brother. To be able to come here. It's certainly not easy.

Li Aobai showed an affirmative smile, gave Zhang Yang a thumbs up and said, "Boy, you are really capable, much better than me!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Then can I be an officer like you?" ”

Li Aobai asked happily: "Yes! But why are you an officer? ”

Zhang Chen took over and said: "When you are a soldier, you will not be bullied and beaten by bad people, and you can also catch those bad guys." ”

Li Aobai said: "What you two need is a good rest now. Don't think about it so much. With me, no one dares to bully you. "He put on a cool pose. A hammer-like fist was unleashed.

Zhang Yang looked at this tall and mighty brother with infinite admiration.

Zhang Xiaoqiang got up and poured a hot water bottle for the children, and settled the two children to bed. Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen sat on this soft and gentle bed, and tried to lie down and get up again, and then lie down again.

Seeing the two children regain their innocence, Zhang Xiaoqiang's brows, which had been locked for a long time, relaxed. She said to Zhang Yang: "You guys rest early, I'm in the back room, call me if you have something." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, and the two children slept one by one, and after a short time, they fell asleep.

Li Aobai told his daughter-in-law that when he bathed the child, he saw the child's injuries, so early tomorrow morning, he took the child to check it. Zhang Xiaoqiang said, "I'll go with you tomorrow." ”

Li Aobai said: "You go to school tomorrow first, finish handling the school's affairs, don't delay the business." Tomorrow there is me! ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, she was tossing and turning for most of the day, nervous, this will be sleepy. The two of them decided to rest early, and there was a lot to do tomorrow.

At this time, there was a loud crying sound from the outhouse, and the little couple hurried to the outhouse and saw that Zhang Yang was talking in his sleep, the quilt was kicked to the side, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears. Poor child, crying and screaming in his dreams.

The hateful widow Wang, Ou Chunhua, the eighth cake of the king, and the father who doesn't know whether to live or die, the cold-blooded person of the family, Zhang Xiaoqiang hates to death. Almost, the tragedy of the younger brother in the previous life was repeated again, this time God opened his eyes and sent the two dearest people to himself.

After folding the quilt for my brother, he turned around and went into the house. Li Aobai was worried that his daughter-in-law would be sad and hurt, he said, "Qiang'er, it's okay." Take the children for a check-up tomorrow, we will take good care of them in the future, and they will recover soon. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang hugged Li Aobai and said, "I still have two and a half years to go, and your life will be very burdensome in the future." I have to arrange for my younger brother to go to school, and I have to pay more attention to saving in the future. Before I came here, I started a small business in the county town and saved some money, which my younger brother could use temporarily for school. ”

Li Aobai looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "It's all my fault, I don't have the ability, and I'm tired of you." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang blocked her husband's mouth with her hand and said, "In the future, we will bear the difficulties of life together, and we will definitely get through it." ”

Li Aobai nodded firmly, and he said, "Let's rest early." ”

The two of them went to bed together, and since the hot water bottle was given to their younger brother for their use, Li Aobai said: "Qiang'er, I'll warm your feet!" So saying, he took his daughter-in-law's feet in his arms.

Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that her husband was so considerate to her and so kind to her younger brother, she was really moved.

She took her husband's hand and said, "I'm not cold, I feel warm with you." This time, Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen came, and my heart was at ease. Thank you for all that you have given me! ”

Li Aobai scratched her nose with his hand and said, "Silly girl, between you and me, there is no need to say thank you or not!" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled, her eyes were crooked, and she looked naughty.

Li Aobai hugged his daughter-in-law and said, "I'm tired today, let's rest!" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang pulled her husband's arm, pillowed it on it, and fell asleep after a while.

Li Aobai looked at his daughter-in-law who was sleeping beside him, and the snoring of two children came from time to time in the outhouse.

Good night, today! (To be continued.) )
