Chapter 3 Liu Zhu

The family was happily eating rice porridge, talking about the parents in the village, and suddenly heard Liu Zhu's call outside the door, Liu Fang got up and looked at Zhang happily: "Mother, my father is back." ”

After speaking, he turned around and went to the yard to open the door for Liu Zhu, Liu Zhu was tired from working all day. Although the main family provided food, when I walked back from the city, I was cold and hungry all the way. Seeing that his daughter happily came over to open the door for herself, her face was much gentler: "Is your little brother noisy today?" Is Yue'er still good? ”

Liu Fang nodded and followed Liu Zhu to the house: "Little brother is very well-behaved today, what about Yue'er boiling a big pot of rice porridge today?" I've listened to a big bowl when I come back, and now my stomach is full? Dad, you go back to the house to see your mother first, and I'll bring you a bowl of hot porridge to warm up. ”

Liu Zhu frowned and thought for a while: "You can't let Yue'er cook porridge anymore." If this is burned, how can you get it, Yue'er is only three years old? ”

After speaking, she opened the door and entered the inner room, Liu Fang also understood that her father was worried about her sister, so she didn't think much about it and went to the back room to serve rice porridge.

Liu Zhu pushed the door into the house and saw Yue'er sitting on the side sorting out her son's small clothes, the child's mother was breastfeeding her son, thinking of her son Liu Zhu's heart felt full, and he stepped forward to the side of the bed and hooked his head to look at his son's white and tender little face. Zhang frowned and looked at Liu Zhu: "Just thinking about your son, you don't want to think about me and almost got out of bed in anger today." ”

As soon as Liu Zhu heard it, he knew that his stepmother must be making trouble again, but how could he make his stepmother unhappy when he gave birth to a son? "What's going on, the kid? You can't get out of bed these days during confinement, and it's not a joke to sit down. ”

Listening to her husband's words of concern, Zhang's heart was much more comfortable, and her eyes were red: "It's not a mother-in-law yet, she followed us to the door of our house and scolded, saying that our son robbed the son of his younger brother and sister, so his younger brother and sister gave birth to a niece." Let's hurry up and return her own grandson? Do you think this is wrong? ”

Liu Zhu also felt incredible, this stepmother was really a bully: "Why didn't you go out later?" Don't take your mother's words seriously, the son we gave birth to can still be brought to my brother and sister's house, so you can rest assured that you can be confined and let her make trouble! We can't really quarrel with my mother, what does this make the people in the village think, and my father is not comfortable! ”

The Zhang family knew that Liu Zhu would definitely go to his father-in-law, but could he ignore this if he didn't ignore it? Tears fell: "You don't know if you're not at home, how ugly your mother's scolding is, let's just look forward to this son, can you not be a baby?"

Can I not be angry when I hear my mother-in-law's words? Fortunately, Yue'er stopped me and went to my father to get my mother away.

Otherwise, I will have to go out to reason with her, I didn't give birth to a son before, how many eyes she had, and I picked my nose and eyes at Yue'er and Fang'er every day. At every turn, he scolded me for not being able to give birth and not being able to give birth to a son.

At that time, I wanted to die, but now I finally gave birth to a son, and I am not convinced. How can you let me endure it, this son can't live, you see that the family has nothing to eat, Yue'er is only three years old and has to cook rice porridge by himself, you say I don't feel uncomfortable?

Every time for your father's little face, let me endure it everywhere, if you do this again, I will not live for you, what does it mean to live without hope in this day? ”

Yue'er saw her father and mother quarreling, and she felt uncomfortable, her mother was right, and her family became more and more miserable. The biggest murderer is the grandmother and the second uncle's family, not only did they not help their own family, but when their family was despised by the villagers, the grandmother first wanted to drive her father out of the Liu family tree.

In the end, the grandfather couldn't stand the persuasion of his grandmother and second uncle, so he really drove his father and his family out of the family tree, and also drove them out of Liujia Village. My father and mother had to go to other places to join their relatives, and the last family died tragically. Don't want such hateful relatives, blame my father for being too soft-hearted, I just remember my grandfather's difficulties, when did I think about how angry my mother and my sisters were.

In the past, my mother always asked my mother and my sisters to work in the milk field, and if I didn't do it, I would make trouble with my father, and my father would tell my father if I had no choice, and my father had to let my mother do it.

In this way, the harvest in their fields is small, and each house has not much harvest except for food, and the dairy family eats well and has grain to sell every year. No, you must let your father and mother and your family be of one mind, so that you can live a good life.

Yue'er's eyes were red and she cried: "Dad, my grandmother scolded me outside the door today, saying that my mother stole the second aunt's son." also said that let the mother return the younger brother, otherwise it will make the mother look good. also told the people in the village that the mother is a goblin who steals people's children? The children in the village don't play with me, is it true that my father is talking about it? Is our younger brother really from the second aunt's family?

Dad Yue'er didn't want to give her younger brother to her second aunt, but this was born to her mother. Dad, don't listen to your grandfather anymore and let our family suffer again and again, we used to always let us work in the dairy field, but no one in our field planted and the harvest was small, and we couldn't even eat. Grandma always asked my sister to help her collect firewood, but our family didn't have firewood in stock, so it was cold, and my sister had to go to collect firewood every day. My hands were frozen and cracked.

Dad, can we stop doing things for the nursery, as soon as the children of the sister-in-law's family come, the milk will give them delicious food, and never give us food, but the work is for me and my sister to do. What's going on? ”

Liu Zhu usually heard Zhang's talk about it, but when he saw his wronged second daughter, he felt really uncomfortable. When I was a child, I was not angry with my stepmother, but for the sake of my father and the peace of this family, I always endured it.

I didn't expect that even if I was wronged, I would be wronged even with my wife and children, and I didn't eat a mouthful of Chen Gong's meal in vain! Since childhood, he has helped with housework, and his younger brothers and sisters have all been brought up by himself, and Chen always beats himself and often does not give him food.

If it weren't for the master's kindness to take him in, it is estimated that he would have starved to death if he was not killed. I thought that my forbearance would make Chen more understanding, but I didn't expect that Chen still saw that his family was not pleasing to the eye, and even his wife and daughter were angry.

Liu Zhu gritted his teeth, looked at Zhang's and said, "In the future, you will take the Yue'er sisters to do the things in our family's field, and don't care about the affairs in my mother's field." My father came over and said that I wouldn't let go, now that I have my son, we have to save more money for my son, and I can't let my son farm like us. ”

Seeing that her husband had finally opened up, a hot tear came out of her heart: "Father of the child, as long as you have the same heart as our mother, our family will definitely be able to live a good life." ”

Liu Fang walked in with rice porridge, of course, and heard what her father had just said, and stepped forward to hand the porridge to her father, and her eyes were also happy: "Dad, if you can say such a thing, my sister and I will be able to do less hard work in the future."

Grandma saw me collecting firewood today and asked me to help her pick it up tomorrow? It's so cold, Fang'er doesn't want to go to collect firewood, it's still for the milk. If the milk was our own milk, she would definitely not let me collect firewood. ”

Liu Zhu is also uncomfortable in his heart, he has suffered a lot since he was a child, so he has suffered a lot, but he can't let his daughter and son suffer like him.

Looking at the Zhang family who is confined in bed, how many chickens have not been eaten since his son was born for ten days? It's still the eldest sister and the second sister of the Zhang family when they wash the three, and the Zhang family has asked for some western points these days, but the children can't also go to find someone to eat!

But the little money in his family is not much, and the Chen family has always asked for half of his salary, and there is not much harvest in the family's field, so he has enough to eat, so there is not much silver at all. So Zhang's didn't let himself buy chickens back, for fear of spending money.

Thinking that he worked until dark every day and didn't come back, his family didn't have enough food and clothing, and his wife was reluctant to buy a chicken after giving birth.

Yue'er knows that her father is struggling with her filial piety, but it must not be something that can be changed all at once, as long as she works hard slowly, I believe that my father will definitely be with everyone and try to live a good life for himself.

Liu Zhu took the bowl and drank the rice porridge, only to feel that the porridge was very fragrant, although there was only porridge, Liu Zhu drank it in a few sips. Thinking that this was the porridge made by her youngest daughter, the eldest daughter didn't even have to eat when she came back from picking up the firewood, so she could only eat white rice porridge.

Putting down the bowl, Liu Zhu looked at Liu Fang, then looked at Liu Yue, and said seriously: "Fang'er will only pick up the firewood that our family will use in winter tomorrow, and your grandmother will not pay attention to it." Yue'er doesn't want to cook, Dad finds a way to come back early in the evening, and make breakfast in the morning before going. You're only three years old, how do you do these things well. ”

Liu Fang heard her father say that she didn't have to collect firewood for the nursery, so she nodded happily.

Liu Yue pouted and looked unhappy: "Daddy Yue'er has grown up and can help the family do things, and my sister can help the family collect firewood and go to the field, why can't Yue'er help the family do more things?"

Besides, Yue'er can boil the rice porridge well today, and you can cook for you and your mother in a few days. ”

Liu Zhu looked at the two well-behaved and sensible daughters, and then looked at the son in Zhang's arms, and suddenly felt that this was his dearest person. Zhang thought for a while and looked at Liu Zhu and said, "Don't worry too much about his father, it's rare for Yue'er to be sensible." Our children just can't be too squeamish, so that no matter how difficult it is in the future, they can have something to eat. ”

Liu Zhu saw that his wife did not object, looked at Liu Yue's firm and sincere eyes, smiled and touched Yue

The family chatted happily, thinking that they would be able to live a good life through their own labor in the future, and their hearts were full of hope. When she sleeps at night, Yue'er is next to her sister, with a happy face.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yue'er put on a thick old cotton coat and prepared breakfast for the family. But as soon as Liu Yue got dressed, her sister woke up and squinted and said, "What is Yue'er doing so early?" ”

Liu Yue covered the quilt for her sister and whispered: "I want to make some breakfast, my mother wants to feed my little brother, and I can't be hungry." Dad is going to eat and go to work, sister, you have to go to collect firewood later, only Yue'er has nothing to do, so get up early and make breakfast for you! ”

Liu Fang sat up suddenly, looking at her sister's small body, cooking by the stove, it must be very difficult. Lifted the quilt and put on his clothes: "Sister will do it with you, you are still a small person, then you can do it, sister will take you to do it together, so that everyone will have to eat." ”

Liu Yue hurriedly defended: "But sister, you have to go to collect firewood later, how can you stand it when you get up so early, it's so cold this day." ”

Liu Fang took her sister's hand and looked at her sister seriously: "Yue'er, I am my sister, so I should protect you." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Yue pulled Liu Yue to the back room, the fog was very heavy before dawn, so it was extremely cold. Liu Fang first took Liu Yue to light the oil lamp, and then went to the stove to light a fire.

Yue'er hurriedly stepped forward to help. The two sisters were so busy that they didn't feel cold at all, although their fingers were red from the cold. Liu Fang added water to the pot, then thought about it before turning around and asking Liu Yue: "Do you think it's better for my mother to eat rice porridge or noodles?" ”

Liu Yue didn't think much and said directly: "The chickens at home have also laid eggs, and my mother wants to make up for her body now, so it's better to give my mother an egg noodle to eat!" ”

Liu Fang didn't expect her sister to understand so much, and couldn't help but look at Liu Yue suspiciously, Liu Yue didn't expect that she was so careless, how could she understand so much with a three-year-old baby. Tilting his head and thinking about it, he said: "It's all said yesterday by Aunt Li, Aunt Li gave her mother a bowl of noodles yesterday?" ”

As soon as Liu Yue said this, Liu Fang also figured it out, but she didn't expect her sister to be so careful, but her sister didn't think so much.
