Sweeping a handful of weeds on the burned dead grass and leaves, Li Cong straightened his waist, patted the ashes on his hands, and after making sure that the fire would not spread, he stood on the ridge of the field, upside down his feet, knocked the mud on his shoes, and carried the hoe to prepare to go home.

The frost in the morning was very heavy these days, and a lot of vegetables were broken, so he came to the field every night to light a fire in order to reduce some damage. Not only him, but every household in the tunzi did this, every dusk, casually to an open place to stand, and when I looked around, there were clouds of gray smoke rising into the sky, setting off the dark night, which seemed silent and solemn.

Li Cong didn't like this scene very much, these black smoke that pinned hope on him was just paper money burned by the villagers to God, and the sky was dead.

Hum!

"Li Cong, are you here to light the fire again?" A few days ago, Third Uncle Mu, who mistook him for the third brother Li Qiang, stopped Li Cong, "I heard that you have split up, why are you still doing the work in the field alone?" ”

"My brothers are busy and rarely have time to come back, so I'm a big man at home, so I naturally have to do more. Anyway, it's not a tiring thing, just two more trips. I'm young, I'm fast-footed, and I don't waste time. Li Cong replied with a smile.

"Hehe, it's good to see it, it's a blessing to suffer. There aren't many young people like you in the tun now. Praised.

But no, the people who came out to light the fire were old men and old women, or it was a woman with a child, and it was really eye-catching for him to stay in it as a young and strong man. After the wildfire, he was able to catch less prey and had more time to spare. Now he doesn't need to support his family, so let's just live like this.

"Your daughter-in-law in the town, I haven't seen her go out for a long time, why haven't the two reconciled yet?"

If it weren't for Uncle Mu's sincere expression, Li Cong would definitely think that he was deliberately exposing his scars. However, sooner or later, this matter had to be known to others, and no one in the family persuaded him to ask Yang Liu back. Li Cong was also happy, anyway, after Yang Liu left, he felt that his home was a lot cleaner all of a sudden, so he said a little indifferently: "I divorced her." ”

"Oh." Third Uncle Mu nodded indifferently. It was as if this outcome had been expected by him. No surprises.

But Li Cong couldn't figure it out, could it be that the ending of him and Yang Liu was already doomed in the eyes of others? There are so many people who are not optimistic about their pair!

"You can also look at it, why do good men have no wife. It's okay. "Uncle Mu persuaded me.

"You don't seem surprised."

Uncle Mu San laughed twice.

"Say something that is not afraid to offend you. The whole Tunzi knew about it. Even if you know that your daughter-in-law is innocent and a man who wants to be faceless, you will choose to divorce your wife. Human nature, nothing surprising. ”

Li Cong did not speak. He knew that Uncle Mu's words hadn't finished yet.

"But since we are big men, we can't follow the crowd, what others say is what it is, and we have to use our brains to think more. Sometimes when the eyes can't see clearly, they look at it with their hearts. Ten years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can be cultivated and slept together, and there is no marriage that does not need to be maintained. Think about it more because of the first glance, people, how can they change so easily? ”

Li Cong always remembered that Uncle Mu had one hand behind his back, with some emotion.

"Mother, is Uncle Mu's deceased wife his original partner?"

"How did you come up with the idea of asking this?" He was stunned for a moment, but still told Li Cong about what happened to Uncle Mu back then.

It turned out that when Uncle Mu was young, he also had an affair with someone else because he misunderstood his wife, and then chose to divorce his wife. His wife is also a fierce personality, and she found witness evidence to prove her innocence, and then cut herself with scissors in front of him, completely not giving Uncle Mu a chance to regret and make amends.

Do you dare to forget the lesson you learned in exchange for a fresh life?

Uncle Mu wants to advise him.

But willows are different, and no one is exactly the same.

Li Cong lay on his side with some irritability, and pulled the quilt over to cover his head.

"Brother, what is this?" Xiuxiu asked, holding a long piece of fine arrowroot.

After Yang Liu left, Xiuxiu took care of all of Li Cong's clothes, and he was not embarrassed enough to ask Xiuxiu to help him wash his underwear. Xiuxiu always searches every piece of clothing carefully before washing clothes, so as not to miss anything and wash it badly. Only then did he discover such a strange thing from Li Cong's crumpy clothes.

"What's that?" Li Cong took it.

"It's the shape of two palms." Xiuxiu also stood up, looked at the back of her palm and hand repeatedly, and then leaned over to Li Cong to look.

It's not...

Xiuxiu also noticed it, "Hey, it looks like a sister-in-law's hand..."

But before she finished speaking, Li Cong threw the cloth into a ball and threw it on the pyre in the stove room, and said in a flat tone: "It's nothing." ”

It's nothing, it's really nothing, even if he once wanted to paint the shape of the palm of his and Yang Liu's children on this square cloth, but now, it's really nothing.

"Really... It's nothing? Xiuxiu looked at the ball of cloth and muttered.

***

"Huh?" Wen, who had not lit a fire for a long time, caught a glimpse of the cloth ball, and without saying a word, he ignited it with a flint and put it in the stove.

When Li Cong passed by the stove room, he subconsciously looked at the pyre, and there was nothing but dry branches and leaves.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Li Qiang, who went home on vacation, also picked up the axe as soon as possible, and went up the mountain with Li Cong to chop firewood and prepare firewood for the winter.

"Old Five, you should also go and learn a craft." Hunting is like relying on the sky to eat, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be hungry and cold, and he doesn't want to see Li Cong so decadent.

"Let's talk about it next year, you're all busy, and I can take care of it at home." Li Cong shook his head.

The family can't leave the man, and the reason why he can be an apprentice with peace of mind is that knowing that Li Cong is at home is also one of the reasons. Li Qiang knew that he was a little selfish when he thought like this, and he was bound by his own brother's future, but he couldn't think of any other way. Forget it, let's take one step at a time.

When Li Qiang looked at the almost naked hillside, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "Liujiacun is too bullying!" ”

***

After a long time, no matter how lively the gossip was, it will fade day by day, everyone in the tunzi knows that Li Cong is single now, and the relatives have popped up again, although Li Cong's ability is not big, but he is strong, he is not bad, and he has so many brothers, so he will not be too sad in the future. What's more, they are now separated, and the woman can be the master of the house as soon as she gets married, where else can she find such a good family?

As for his ex-wife, is she still embarrassed to meet people?

Don't be afraid!

There is more than one family whose mind is alive, including the flower seedlings who are ready to move.

"Hua Miao, are you here to find me?" Xiuxiu asked knowingly. Even though the person in front of her was her friend from childhood to adulthood, Xiuxiu still couldn't stop getting angry. If it weren't for Hua Miao's mouthful in front of her brother, which made her brother dislike her sister-in-law, and a sudden coincidence, her brother and sister-in-law would not have come to this point. Xiuxiu also understood that she was a little cover-up when she thought so, and no matter how coincidental things were, she couldn't match a distrustful heart, but she just couldn't help but think so.

In the past, Xiuxiu really wanted Hua Miao to be her sister-in-law, because the two had a good time, and after becoming a sister-in-law, the relationship would be closer. But later Li Cong insisted on marrying Yang Liu, and Xiuxiu felt that as long as Li Cong liked it, she could accept it. After a period of contact, she felt that Yang Liu was also a very good person, and she never mentioned those ideas again, and even hoped that Yang Liu and Li Cong would go to the end. So that Hua Miao had some small movements, thinking carefully, she knew that she didn't care too much, and it turned out that the love in her eyes was stronger than Jin, and it was easy to break into seven or eight petals because of a small crack.

"Of course I'm looking for you, we haven't seen each other in a long time." Hua Miao said with a smile.

"Look at me, do you still want to bring a man's clothes?" Xiuxiu pointed out unceremoniously, "Could it be that I read it wrong, it's Uncle Hua's?" ”

Only then did Hua Miao notice the half-cut sleeve hanging on the side of the basket, and hurriedly stuffed it back into the basket.

"Xiuxiu, let's play together until we get big, and I won't hide it from you." Hua Miao looked at Hua Miao's eyes fixedly and said, "I made this dress for your fifth brother." ”

"If you let others know, do you still want to get married?!"

The answer that I had known for a long time, and when I heard it with my own ears again, Xiuxiu was still surprisingly angry. Didn't Hua Miao leave a way out for herself?

Hua Miao looked at Xiuxiu faintly, "My mind, don't you know yet?" ”

Damn, it's because she knows it, that's why she's angry.

"My brother is so good in your eyes?" After a while, Xiuxiu asked.

What is Li Cong like these days, Xiuxiu has always seen it in her eyes and hurt in her heart, and she has always complained about the separation of Yang Liu and Li Cong. But putting this matter aside, Hua Miao's persistence and sincerity to her brother still moved Xiuxiu quite a lot. Yang Liu and Li Cong separated, although Xiuxiu felt sorry, but more distressed Li Cong, after all, he was his own brother. Li Cong can't never get married again for the rest of his life, and it can be regarded as a beautiful thing to have a woman who has been known since she was a child and has always been in love with her brother for the rest of her life.

At this time, there is someone who is willing to accompany him, and he will feel better.

"I'll talk to my brother, but don't come to him." Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and simply did good things to the end: "Mother, I will also help you say good things." But you have to swear that you are sincere to my brother. ”

Xiuxiu knew that as soon as He opened his mouth, the matter was decided. Because she knew that her fifth brother would never disobey her mother's intentions. And the only time he was disobedient, Li Cong also paid the price.

If it hurts, it won't happen again.

Listening to Hua Miao swear word for word, Xiuxiu's uneasiness in her heart was not only not less at all, but there was a faint feeling that she was about to overflow. Did she do something wrong? (To be continued......)
