The so-called hometown is actually not far away, about twenty miles away from the Yu family ancestral hall, which is the settlement of the Yu family, and it can be reached in an hour if you walk faster.

Originally, the Yu family lived together, but after Yu Jianguo came back, he took his family to move to Mercury Village, which is closer to Qingyuan Town, one is to facilitate work, and the other is to take care of Ye Tingfang's mother and daughter nearby.

In fact, Yu Xiling in his previous life accidentally learned that long before Qiao Aiguo's sacrifice, the relationship between him and Ye Tingfang had broken down, and the husband and wife were separated, Ye Nuannuan also changed his mother's surname and moved to Qingyuan Town with Ye Tingfang, while Qiao Zhiliang lived with Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao.

Obviously, it was Grandpa Qiao and his wife who lost their children and lost their dependence, but in Yu Jianguo's opinion, it was Ye Tingfang's mother and daughter who needed to be taken care of, remembering her shock when she found out the truth, and Yu Jianguo's sophistry at the time, Yu Xiling was full of ridicule, and she didn't want to comment on the matter between them.

When Yu Xiling arrived with Yu Xi'an on her back, Grandma Yu was carrying an old cotton jacket and pouring medicine residue on the road outside the old house.

Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu's health is not very good, especially Grandma Yu has been taking traditional Chinese medicine for many years, and she can't afford to eat Western medicine in the hospital.

Seeing the two Yu Xiling sisters, the old couple were shocked, and hurriedly pulled people into the house, and Grandma Yu stuffed her roasting fire cage at the feet of the two sisters.

"Why is this cold weather coming here?" Grandma Yu touched the foreheads of the two sisters one by one with her big hands, they were all cold, and her hands were also cold, so she quickly pulled up Yu Xi'an's little hand and rubbed it up, and quickly urged Grandpa Yu, who was sitting with a cigarette, to make ginger tea.

didn't want the old man to worry, Yu Xiling didn't say anything, only said that Xi'an had just had a serious illness, Yu Jianye had to go to work every day, Xu Zhaodi had to go to work in the shoe factory in the town, and she had to work for the Ye family, so she didn't have time to take care of them, so she took her sister over to live for a while.

Speaking of the Ye family's mother and daughter, Grandma Yu sighed, patted Yu Xiling's little hand with her rough big hand and didn't say anything.

After drinking the ginger soup, Yu Xi'an fell asleep for a while, Yu Xiling stuffed her into the quilt, rubbed her hands and went into the stove house.

Although Yu Xiling's uncle and aunt also live in the village, they don't care about the life of the elderly except for giving some money and food every year, and the straw and firewood in the stove house are all carried back by the old couple from the fields and mountains.

The grass at the mouth of the stove is tied neatly and high, and there are two straw stacks behind the house, so you don't have to worry about not having grass all winter, but there is not too much firewood at home, Grandpa Yu is old after all, and he is not as good as those young people, Yu Xiling looked around, found the firewood knife in the corner and went out.

I haven't done farm work for more than 20 years, but after cutting a few dead branches, the feeling of working comes back, after all, it is cooked, and those skills have become the instinct of the body.

Tie a bundle of firewood and pick up two pieces of cow dung on the road, and when Yu Xiling arrived home, she was just in time for Xu Zhaodi to lead Yu Xishan to deliver grain.

Yu Xishan's eyes were red, obviously traces of crying, Yu Xiling was stunned and looked away.

"Your dad gave it to me." Xu Zhaodi found an opportunity to pull Yu Xiling aside, "Don't blame your father, no matter what, our family owes them to the Ye family." ”

"Mom, it's Qiao's family." Yu Xiling reminded.

Xu Zhaodi was stunned, reacted to what Yu Xiling meant, her eyes darkened, and she said with a dry smile, "Isn't that the same, your father has something in his heart, Ye ...... The Qiao family is in such a situation, and it is difficult for him. ”

Yu Xiling was noncommittal, no matter how difficult it was at home over there, it would not be more difficult than the conditions of the Yu family, not to mention that compared to Ye Tingfang's mother and daughter, Yu Jianguo should atone for his grandparents to the Yu family's grandparents, right!

Xu Zhaodi was stupid and couldn't convince Yu Xiling, she didn't know why her well-behaved and obedient daughter suddenly became so difficult, and she naturally wouldn't think about the weird place when she was a mother, Xu Zhaodi thought left and right, and only thought that it was Yu Jianguo who hurt the child's heart by taking care of the Ye family this time.

In fact, she was also sad in her heart, if the child really had a case, she would not be able to live.

But what could she do? Yu Jianguo is the head of the family, what can she do if she doesn't listen to him.

"Mom, if you listen to me, don't go to work for Ye Tingfang, every time you go, you give the job to the round, you can't even mix a meal, is it worth it? When will Yu Jianguo ever hurt you. Xu Zhaodi didn't know what to say, but Yu Xiling still had something to say, she grabbed Xu Zhaodi, who was about to leave, "If I hadn't woken up in time this time, do you know what would have happened to Xi'an?" She's going to die! ”

"What are you talking nonsense!" Xu Zhaodi's heart panicked, she stretched out her hand and patted Yu Xiling, glared at her and pretended to be fierce, "That's your dad!" How can you call him by his first name! Don't do that in front of your dad. ”

Yu Xiling frowned, and wanted to say something more, but Xu Zhaodi quickly stroked her hand, "Xi'an, it's okay, don't say this kind of thing in the future, she can't stand it yet." If you don't want to go back, live with your grandparents first, listen to your grandparents more at home, be diligent, I'll ...... I'll go to work first. ”

Xu Zhaodi, who fled in the wilderness, plunged into housework, she was originally a diligent person, even if she had to go back to cook for Yu Jianguo before dinner, but she still turned out all the clothes that needed to be dismantled and washed in the house and went to the pond to dismantle and wash them, and the clothes that needed to be mended were also quickly mended and folded, if it wasn't too late, she still wanted to go back after cooking for the old couple.

But until she left, she never looked for Yu Xiling again.

Yu Xiling watched her deceive herself busy, and didn't go to her again to say anything, some things are useless if you don't figure it out by yourself, even if it's your daughter.

"Yu Xiling, why are you so tough! Dad won't let you come in the morning, don't you understand when he says the opposite? Yu Xishan kept sulking and behaved very obviously, but he didn't expect Yu Xiling to ignore him from the beginning, and in the end, he couldn't help but find him.

If you don't leave, will you stay there and continue to be squeezed?

"What do you want to do? Educate me to be like you and your father to be a cow and a horse for the Ye family? Yu Xiling squatted on the edge of the well to wash the stone mill that had been turned out of the miscellaneous house.

"What does it mean to be a cow and a horse! Yu Xiling, can you speak! Also, that's our dad, not your dad! Yu Xishan's eyes were red with anger, and he emphasized very seriously, "Dad said, when Aunt Fang's family is better, we can unload the burden, and Dad also saved up for your tuition, really!" You can go back to school at the beginning of the year, can you take Xi'an home with me? ”

Not uncommon!

What's more, being spoiled like Yu Jianguo is used to it, how can the Ye family's mother and daughter have an independent day, and the family is just empty words, how good is it? Qiao Zhiliang wants to study, Ye Nuannuan wants to study beautifully, everything needs money, it is a bottomless pit, where can there be a day that can be filled.

You must know that Yu Jianguo's idea is to provide these two brothers to graduate from college!

Yu Xiling glanced at Yu Xishan, thought for a while and asked him, "If you and Qiao Zhiliang are admitted to college at the same time, there can only be one person in the family to go to school, will you let you?" ”

Yu Xishan's words were blocked so much that he couldn't speak, and he told himself in his heart not to be led by Yu Xiling's nose, but he still subconsciously imagined the situation she said.

Then he was very sad to find that when the day came, his father would definitely mobilize him to give up the opportunity on his own initiative.

However, "I don't know where my grades are as good as Zhiliang, and whether I can go to high school...... Anyway, I don't like to go to school, I'm tired of going to school. ”

Unlike her who dropped out of school early in her previous life, Yu Xishan went to high school, and his grades were really bad in junior high school, but he didn't know how to suddenly open his mind in high school, and his grades soon surpassed Qiao Zhiliang, who had always been excellent in character and learning.

Later, Yu Xishan was admitted to the heavy book, and Qiao Zhiliang was only admitted to the second book due to his abnormal performance.

The final result was that Yu Xishan tore up the admission letter and went south to work, and when Yu Xiling heard the news and rushed back, the matter was already a foregone conclusion, and Yu Xishan had been away for nearly half a month.

And Ye Tingfang and Yu Jianguo are happily preparing to hold a college banquet for Qiao Zhiliang.
