"Yo, why haven't I come back for a few days, and you have an extra child daughter-in-law?" When it came to the day when Liu Boan went home, he couldn't wait to go to the field to find Shen Jinxin after resting for a while when he got home.

Shen Jinxin's watering hand shook, and he turned his head and looked at his good brother complainingly: "Meizi told you again?" ”

Seeing Liu Boan gloating and nodded, Shen Jinxin gritted his teeth and said, "This stinky girl with her elbow turned out, see if I go back and don't clean her up." ”

"Is that true? Daduo, that little girl really became your child daughter-in-law? No, uncle and aunt ......" Liu Boan said as he took the initiative to help.

Shen Jinxin looked at him helplessly, telling him what had happened in 1510's house these days.

Since Liu Daduo lived in the Shen family, the people in the village have been saying that this Liu Daduo is the child daughter-in-law prepared by the Shen family for Shen Jinxin, no wonder the matchmaker came to talk about the family, and the Shen family did not agree.

I thought that the little girl was smart, and she would be sad when she heard these gossips, and wanted to send her to the third uncle's house in the town.

The third uncle and the third aunt have always wanted to have a daughter, but unfortunately they have only had one son for so many years, so they wanted to send Liu Daduo over, and they were relatives who were separated by a few rooms.

It's a pity that the little girl doesn't do it, and Shen He finally has a little sister who is about the same age as her at home, and she doesn't agree.

"Boan, you're back." While the two were talking, Shen's father came back from the river carrying water, followed by Liu Erlei, who was also carrying water.

Liu Boan stepped forward to help Shen's father put down the bucket, but to Liu Erlei, his nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not eyes.

Liu Erlei didn't say anything, but he was upset. But who is to blame for this? He can only blame himself. Liu Erlei silently put down the bucket on his shoulder and went to work on the other side of the field.

"Why is he here?" Liu Boan muttered and asked Shen Jinxin.

Shen Jinxin is accustomed to it, to say that the Shen family has become the "after-dinner conversation" in the village in the past few days, in addition to Liu Daduo's matter, that is, Liu Erlei comes to work in the Shen family's field every day after finishing his work in the field.

When did it start? It started when Mrs. Liu came to the door to make a fuss. Liu Erlei has little land, and after he is busy with his own land every day, he will go to the Shen family's field to help, and after helping, he will go home silently, every day.

"I see, he wants to use this method to get his sister-in-law and you to forgive him for what he did before."

Liu Boan looked up at Liu Erlei, who was bending over to work, his previous life in the Liu family was vivid, and it was impossible to forgive him without any guilt.

"Hmph, don't even think about it." Liu Boan snorted coldly, "My sister won't be soft-hearted and forgive, right?" ”

"Not really." Shen Jinxin shook his head, "However, when my sister-in-law comes to deliver food, she occasionally brings food for Liu Dabao and Liu Xiaobao." ”

"The eldest sister is soft-hearted, and she has forgotten how she was bullied before."

"Forget it, I'm not an ignorant kid, I see that after your stepmother left, the two of them didn't hate it before."

Liu Boan didn't take Shen Jinxin's words to heart and buried himself in work. Shen Jinxin knew that the affairs of the Liu family were an insurmountable hurdle in Liu Bo'an's heart, so he didn't mention it again.

Every time Liu Boan comes home, Shen's mother will be the master of a big meal in the house, anyway, chicken, duck and fish are ready at home, and it is not troublesome, and the women in the family are ready early.

"The fish have grown so big, huh?" Shen Mei is now busy with things in the embroidery room every day, and she rarely does things at home, and she is very surprised to see a lot of fish growing up.

Liu Bicao knocked the fish out with the back of the knife, and talked to her while scraping the scales: "Two days ago, your eldest brother and I were still talking, see when the big fish in the pond will be sold, and now I don't know how the harvest will be, so I just take advantage of the fact that the price of grain has not gone up to buy some and go home." ”

"That's right, the family has surplus food, and don't panic." Shen's mother took out a large handful of sauerkraut from the jar and prepared to make sauerkraut fish, a dish that everyone in the family likes to eat.

Shen Mei was also a little worried when she mentioned the matter of food, she still remembered that last winter, many people died of hunger. There are also many families who sell their daughters because they have no food to eat.

"Mother, sister-in-law. Is this year's harvest really bad? ”

Liu Bicao nodded: "If it doesn't rain again, the crops won't grow, I heard Aunt Zhou say that what is her mother's village doing to pray for rain to the sky." ”

"Fortunately, our family has other income, if we only rely on the harvest in the field, our family will not be able to drink the northwest wind."

"Meizi, the more you are like this, the more you must pay attention to ......"

"I know mother, don't expose your wealth." Shen Mei helped cut the sauerkraut, "I'm just talking about it at home." ”

Shen's mother saw that she took it to heart, and she also knew what kind of character her daughter was, so she didn't say anything more and concentrated on the things on the stove.

After a while, the fragrance of sauerkraut fish came from the sky above the Shen family, followed by the fragrance of stewed chicken, which did not disperse for a long time.

"Bicao, come and send this to your two younger brothers, the child grows up." Shen's mother brought a bowl to Liu Bicao, which contained freshly made sauerkraut fish and stewed chicken.

Now not only Liu Erlei will help the Shen family do the work, but even Liu Dabao will learn to help.

Shen's mother saw that the two children were really pitiful, and they were so thin that they were almost out of shape, so she also took care of them.

Liu Bicao took the bowl and walked towards Liu Erlei's house with a complicated heart, the house that was already dilapidated was now even more dilapidated.

Pushing open the door made of grass and bamboo, I was choked by a puff of smoke, and I faintly heard the sound of coughing.

Enduring the choking smell, Liu Bicao slowly entered again, and there were two people sitting in the kitchen, it was Liu Dabao and Liu Erbao, their faces were all gray and only two eyes were left.

Seeing Liu Bicao, Liu Dabao was a little embarrassed, his gray face turned red, he stood up crampedly, pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, and opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Are you going to cook?" Liu Bicao put the bowl in the bamboo cupboard, squatted down and looked at the stove pit, which was full of firewood.

Liu Erbao can't remember the past, but she only remembers that the person in front of her is the person who gave her delicious food, and she has heard her father say that this person is her sister.

"Sister, brother can't burn a fire, I'm hungry." Liu Erbao touched his stomach after speaking, and his pitiful appearance was distressing.

Liu Bicao pulled the two people out of the kitchen, scooped water from the water tank to clean their faces, and then cleaned up the mess in the kitchen.

"Come here, I'll teach you how to make a fire." Liu Bicao beckoned to Liu Dabao.

Liu Dabao was a little surprised, but also a little happy, with a sense of excitement on his face, he used to sit on the stool obediently and watch Liu Bicao's movements.

After teaching Liu Dabao how to make a fire, he helped to make the rice, and then scooped a small half bowl to Liu Erbao and asked him to eat first.

was about to go home, Liu Erlei came back with a bucket and a hoe.

"Dad, my sister's cooking." Liu Erbao ran over with the bowl and showed Liu Erlei the rice in the bowl, "There is still meat." ”

Liu Erlei nodded and looked at Liu Bicao: "Why are you here?" ”

"Boan is back, the family has cooked food, I will send some over, the meal is ...... I'm ready, you can eat it. Liu Bicao still can't face Liu Erlei, although this is her father, whose blood is thicker than water, but she can't smile and grudge.

Liu Erlei also knows that these three children may not forgive him in this life. I don't want to force anything.

"Thank you, please make a trip."

Liu Bicao nodded and left the Liu family. For so many years, the father and daughter really haven't been so polite, and it is not easy to speak calmly.

Other women are married, and they have their mother's family as a backer, but Liu Bicao doesn't have it, and she doesn't need it.

It's okay to just walk around with your mother's family as an ordinary family and friend, and it's really impossible to do anything else, at least not now. After all, there are some things that cannot be forgotten, and it is not that they do not exist when they exist.
