Chapter Seventy-Six: Parents Are Not Bad
75
When Yang Liu finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and went in, he found that except for Li Qiang's room, the rest of the Li family came to He's room one by one. The creak of opening the door woke up the people in the house, and everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Yang Liu alone. Yang Liu's face was a little hot, but he still forced himself to close the door with his backhand and sat on a bench with Li Cong.
She had known since the last time that she had not been allowed to join the family meeting, but she also wanted to know what the conclusion would be about the contents of the meeting in the third room. However, when she sat down for a long time, no one spoke, Yang Liu looked up in some surprise, but found that He's gaze fell on her, that is, Xiuxiu.
Li Wu followed He's line of sight, and then saw that Xiuxiu was also sitting here, and immediately frowned and waved his hand: "Xiuxiu go back to your house, there is nothing for you here." ”
"I'm also a member of the family, why can't I listen?" Xiuxiu pouted, and her ass was fixed on the bench and did not move.
"If you are told to go back, you will go back, don't you listen to the second brother?" Li Wu said in a deep voice, obviously not having much patience to go on in detail.
Xiuxiu caught a glimpse of He's disapproving gaze, and saw Yang Liu gently shaking her head at her, didn't say anything more, and walked out.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the door of the He family opened again, and then the two brothers Li Wu and Li Cong took the lead and walked out, followed by Xiao He's family, the Yu family, and Yang Liu, who was walking at the end, turned around and gently closed the door.
Xiuxiu, who was kneeling on the kang and listening to the movement in He's room, heard the sound of opening and closing the door, quickly turned around and put on her shoes, opened the door of her boudoir, exposed her head and half of her body and beckoned. shouted softly, the fifth sister-in-law.
Yang Liu heard the voice and walked in front of Xiuxiu. Seeing her sneaky look, I couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why do you look like this?" ”
Xiuxiu ignored Yang Liu's ridicule. Hurriedly asked, "What did my mother tell you?" ”
"Didn't say anything." Yang Liu is also puzzled, it stands to reason that He should let them discuss a way to make Dashan also a school, of course, the only way is to pay. Yang Liu also secretly thought about how much silver he had to give out, but he didn't expect that He Shi would drive them out without saying a word after watching them for a long time. It's hard to guess what a woman thinks. Yang Liu covered his mouth and yawned, waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, it's not too early, I'll go to sleep." ”
"Well, good night sister-in-law." If she can't ask anything, Xiuxiu won't bother anymore, because she knows that Yang Liu won't hide anything from her.
Yang Liu took a wooden basin and brought water, and wiped his body casually. Yawn in and lock the door. Li Cong sat on the round stool with a stern face, one hand on the pineapple wooden round table, and the flickering candle flame lined his face with a flickering light. Seeing Yang Liu enter the door, Li Cong thought that Yang Liu at least had to ask him what was wrong, but when he saw her wearing her underwear and loose hair, she shrank into the quilt, and didn't even look at him. Push your shoes far. When he shook the quilt, he didn't control his strength, making Peng Peng break the air, and the wind brought out between the quilt shaking up and down blew on Yang Liu's face, and a few soft strands of hair ran under the tip of her nose. Yang Liu felt an itchy nose, frowned, and rubbed his nose. Turned his back to Li Cong.
"Willow." In the dark, Li Cong couldn't see Yang Liu's expression clearly. But it was obvious that she turned her back, and suddenly shouted a little unhappily with her name and surname.
Half-asleep, Yangliu heard someone shouting his name. A syllable came out of his nose indistinctly: "Hmm." ”
Li Cong didn't pay attention to it so much, and said directly: "I want to give the silver to the third brother." ”
"Hmm."
It was still the same tone, and Li Cong couldn't hear Yang Liu's love from it at all, and he was suddenly even more dissatisfied. What he said was giving or not borrowing, whether she was listening, and whether she understood the difference in the word. The two of them don't have much silver, if they give it all to the third brother, at least they will have a miserable life for more than ten and a half months, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't make any noise? Li Cong reached out to scratch Yang Liu's feet, and insisted on waking Yang Liu up, repeating what he had just said, especially imagining what kind of bitter life they would face after giving the money to the third brother.
"I'm really okay." Yang Liu felt that his eyelids were very heavy, but he still had to cheer up to deal with Li Cong, "But have you thought about it, don't help the poor, even if we give all the money to the third brother this time to let Dashan study, what will we do in the future?" With the situation of the third brother's family, Dashan can't read for a long time, so do you always rely on us uncles and aunts? Let's not say that it doesn't matter if you think it's okay, even the third brother will feel shameless, but it makes him feel that he can't hold his head up in front of his brother. Instead of this, I think you might as well help the third brother do a job first, well, just find what he is best at. Yang Liu yawned, closed his eyes and repeated, "Yes, he is the best." ”
Best at it! Li Cong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he fell asleep happily. He slept directly in Yang Liu's bed, holding her waist with both hands to make her closer to him. With an arm under his waist, Yang Liu felt very uncomfortable, and pushed his backhand twice to no avail, so he had to adjust a comfortable position and fall asleep.
In the west wing, Yu sorted out the burden of Li Wu and Goudan, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he rubbed his eyes, stood up and stretched. Walked to the round table and stretched out his hand to pour himself a sip of the quilt, and then said to Li Wu, who was immersed in reading: "What are you reading so late, let's rest." ”
Li Wu didn't raise his head and stretched out his hand to pull Yu to the side, lest she block the candlelight, and replied: "I'm a dog's son and a future showman." Even if you don't understand the meaning of the words of that long article, you still have to learn a few more shallow words, so as not to be disliked by your son in the future. ”
"Yo, you take the nonsense you said seriously when the third child was dizzy." Yu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Okay, don't look at it, it's been a tiring day, go to sleep." It's not early, isn't Ming'er going to the town again? Don't bother thinking about it, you are the most capable in our family, who dares to look down on you. The dog egg is a lump of meat that fell from my stomach, what kind of person is he, I don't know what kind of person I am a mother? If the dog dares to look down on the two of us, the old lady will have to break his legs even if she is on crutches. ”
"As long as you can." Li Wu put down the book, moved his shoulders twice, stood up and twisted his waist left and right, and when he just took off his shoes and was about to go to the kang, he said again: "Ming'er, don't forget to send two taels of silver to the third child." ”
"It's really give, didn't my mother say anything in the end?" Yu moved the candle to a square stool on the side of the kang and said in surprise.
"Is that fake?" Li Wu glanced at Yu, "When does your man talk and doesn't count?" ”
Yu pouted, just because you have two money, you are so panicked, you have to give it away to be willing. She took off her coat and sat on the edge of the kang, bending down to blow out the candle, when she heard Li Wu's voice behind her: "When have I ever done something that is not beneficial?" ”
Yu's face was overjoyed, knowing that Li Wu had a plan in his heart, and he was no longer verbose, so he blew out the candle at the moment, turned around and pounced violently.
In the dark night, I only heard Li Wu's voice gritting his teeth: "You fat woman, Lao Tzu's waist"
Xiao He also blew out the candle with a pop and lay down. She has just counted all the finances in her hands, because the He family has exempted the monthly money, and she has embroidered flowers and added a little subsidy from her mother's family from time to time, and she has saved more than fifty taels of silver in her hand for more than ten years, plus a dowry or something, and there are almost sixty belongings when converted into silver. Quietly, she is actually the richest in the family. It is pitiful that Dashan can't read, but she won't rashly take out the silver because of sympathy and pity. Speaking of which, isn't she a pitiful person? She also has to plan for her future, she has no husband to rely on, no children are reliable, if she doesn't grab some silver in her hands while she is young, what will she do when she is old? When Li Wei died, several other brothers of the Li family swore that they would take care of the widowed sister-in-law, but now she doesn't dare to believe it all when she looks at the situation of the third child's house - if her own family is hard to eat, how can she have the ability to take care of others? People don't die for themselves, she doesn't think about other people's things, and others don't blame her for not helping her.
With a sigh, Xiao He slowly closed his eyes.
He couldn't fall asleep like a pancake, and finally sat up with a pat on the kang, and felt the fire fold to light the oil lamp. As the oil lamp burned brighter and brighter, Ho turned his head and pulled out a tablet from under the pillow next to him.
"Old man, I haven't told you what is in my heart for a long time, are you bored? You say that people are not strange, when you were alive, two of our three sentences had to fight, and now that you are gone, I often think of your kindness to me. He Shi's short rough fingers stroked the inscription on the tablet, tears fell, and he choked up: "You dead old man with no conscience, pat your ass and leave, let me, a lonely old woman, take care of such a big family alone, I am worried all day long, for fear that you will be bullied by others when you are gone, and I dare not say it, for fear that this family will be scattered in my hands."
"Our fifth brother has a daughter-in-law, and she is also in the town, so it's a good thing to look at now, and I don't know what the future will be. Xiuxiu is fourteen years old, and when she is busy for a while, she will start saying goodbye, and the wheat at home has also been cut, and everything is fine. ”
"The thing I can't put at ease is the third and fourth, the fourth is the son-in-law of the inverted door, and he is a dwarf in front of people in this life, and I feel guilty as a mother. The third child is also a hard-working person, he doesn't have much ability but has so many children to support, and he doesn't even count on his son's help when he is studying. I wanted to let the other brothers help me, but in the end, forget it, if they had the heart, it wouldn't be my turn to speak, old man, this parent is not good" (to be continued......
