Chapter 41: Falling into the River
Li Xuefeng carried a wicker basket in his hand, and Li Xiaoran and Li Xuesi walked out behind him hand in hand.
The three of them went out of the house, Li Xuefeng took the initiative to take his sister's hand and walked into the field, in spring, the wild changes every day, the grass is greener, the green leaves also send out new shoots, and the snow on the mountain has begun to melt.
On the hillside in the wild, several children are digging wild vegetables, but they are different from Li Xiaoran, who digs wild vegetables to eat, and they are to feed chickens and pigs.
Li Xuewu, Li Xiaotian, and Li Xiaoxiao, the two sisters of the uncle's family, are also there, and after Li Yihe's family moved away, the two of them could only do the work of digging wild vegetables at home. Li Xuewu is an honest person, and when he saw Li Xuefeng, he waved to them happily, "Xuefeng, come here, there are many wild vegetables here." ”
Li Xuefeng lowered his head and asked his sister: "What about the second brother calling us, can't we get over?" Li Xiaoran had already heard that this second brother was heartless, and the grievances between adults should not involve children, so she nodded, "Come on, I haven't seen the eldest sister and the second sister for a long time." ”
Seeing Li Xuefeng and his party coming this way, Li Xiaoxiao was young and didn't know how to hide her feelings, she pouted, rolled her eyes, and muttered displeasedly: "A bunch of poor ghosts, what are you calling them to come over?" ”
Li Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Qiao'er, don't talk nonsense, they are all family, they are our brothers and sisters, you talk nonsense for others to hear, it is not good for my father's reputation." ”
Li Xiaoxiao said disapprerovingly: "Who will hear it, there are no outsiders here." If you want me to say, eldest sister, you can just pretend, what I say is the truth, don't you think so in your heart? ”
Li Xiaotian was very angry by what this sister said, but when she looked up and saw Li Xuefeng and them leaving, she had a gentle and amiable smile on her busy face, and greeted them warmly, "Xuefeng Xuesi is here, Sister Ran'er, there are many wild vegetables here, come here to my sister." ”
Li Xuefeng and her are a year-old, three months younger than her, he called "eldest sister," and said: "Second brother, you also come to dig vegetables!" ”
Li Xiaoxiao plucked it vigorously with her big eyes, snorted in her nose, pinched her waist and took a step forward, and squinted at Li Xiaoran condescendingly, "What are you pretending." If you're gone, we'll have to do the work of digging vegetables. Hmph, poor ghost, stay away from us, look at your rags, don't come to me. ”
Her voice and movements coupled with her demeanor made her live out of the Zhang family ten years later, and Li Xiaoran really mourned for the man who would marry her in the future.
It's just a little child, she won't be as knowledgeable as her, but Li Xuefeng got angry, dared to bully his sister, stood in front of her with a fierce attitude, his small chest was straight, and he glared at her and reprimanded: "Li Xiaoxiao, what do you say?" You are embarrassed to say this, your family eats my father's, wears my father's, and is embarrassed to dislike us for being poor and sour, you are really ungrateful. ”
He didn't dare to say this before, but in the past few months, in the subtle influence of Ye Changsheng's family and Li Xiaoran, their brother is no longer the obedient bag he used to be.
Li Xiaoxiao's face turned red all of a sudden, although she was young, Zhang's calculations never avoided these two daughters, presumably because she wanted to nurture the two from an early age, so she naturally knew whose credit it was for her family to live such a life.
Didn't you see that since the second uncle's family moved out, the quality of the meals at home has declined, and the occasional game on the table in the past has not been eaten once since the second uncle's family moved out!
Li Xiaotian saw that her sister was crying, and hurriedly came over to laugh and said: "Xuefeng, Qiao'er can't speak, she has no bad intentions, you are an elder brother, don't be like her." ”
Li Xuefeng had a gloomy face, glanced at her, and snorted coldly, "No bad heart can say this?" If you have a bad heart, you can't kill us all! This is very serious, Li Xiaotian didn't say it for a long time, after all, it was her sister who was wrong first.
Li Xuesi also pouted and snorted: "This land is not your family's, can you manage it if we pick vegetables here?" ”
Li Xuewu called the third brother here, but his sister made him very faceless, he was not a person with many eyes, and he pinched his waist unhappily, pointed at Li Xiaoxiao and said: "You are really annoying, how can you marry out in the future!" ”
The other two boys laughed and coaxed together, scraping their little fingers on their faces, and said shyly: "Yes, how can I marry in the future!" ”
Li Xiaoxiao cried angrily, the vegetables were not dug anymore, and she was about to run home with her tears, Li Xiaotian grabbed her, very angry that she had such a brother who ate inside and out, "Second brother, see if I go back and don't tell my mother, you bully the second sister." He whispered to persuade his sister: "Let's ignore him, let's hurry up and dig wild vegetables, otherwise my mother will scold people again when I go back." ”
Although the mother is good to them, they will still be scolded if they can't finish their work.
Li Xuewu waved his hand, "Go ahead, let's go, I know the complaint, the little girl is annoyed." After speaking, he greeted Li Xuefeng, "Let's go, let's go over there and play, just let the two of them dig." He pointed to a small river not far away.
The surface of the river has been civilized, but there is still thick ice stubble on both banks, and the roaring rivers and mountains flow happily.
Li Xuefeng shook his head, he didn't want to leave his younger brothers and sisters, but a few boys pulled him hard, "Let's go, let's go!" ”
Li Xiaoran saw that the river was not too deep, so he asked his brother to rest assured to play, and he and his little brother would not go anywhere else here. Li Xuefeng listened to this and followed with confidence, and Li Xiaoran told him again: "Big brother, be careful, don't get too close to the river, and don't go to the ice, the ice has melted and can't bear the weight." ”
Li Xuefeng nodded and agreed, the two children laughed at him when he heard it, but Li Xuewu frowned and turned around and said seriously: "Ran'er is wrong, Xuefeng is the third brother, you should call him the third brother." ”
Li Xiaoran smiled and didn't squeak, she still had a good impression of Li Xuewu, and she didn't want to argue with him about this matter.
Watching a few teenagers walk to the river to play, she also squatted down and began to dig vegetables, although Li Xuesi wanted to go with his brother, but his sister dispelled his thoughts with a word. "Little brother, you also went to play, Ran Er has no one to accompany you, Ran Er still wants to pick vegetables and let her mother eat cabbage dumplings at night!"
Li Xuesi gave up the idea of playing as soon as he heard it, and it was also good to pick vegetables with his sister, and he could also eat vegetable dumplings.
The two squatted forward to dig the mother-in-law, and before they knew it, they were very close to the river.
Li Xiaoran heard the sound of the river getting louder and louder, and didn't take it seriously, but just told Li Xuesi, "Little brother, be careful, don't get too close to the river." Li Xuesi responded with a smile, and told her in turn, "You too." ”
No one noticed that a trace of ruthlessness flashed on Li Xiaoxiao's face, not at all like such a big child, "Ah, there are bugs!" She suddenly screamed, jumped up in a panic, and then "accidentally" knocked Li Xiaoran, who was looking down to collect medicine, into the river
