Seeing that Mei Xiang hugged her clothes in her arms and liked it very much, how could a girl not know how to love beauty? Wu He said: "Everyone has a love for beauty, Mei Xiang really has to dress up, girls love beauty." In the past, Wangwang's father also bought me two sets of clothes, and when I go back to get it for your mother to change, or I can wear it when I grow up, I think that in the future, you and I will be tall, short, fat and thin as when we were girls, and we will definitely wear them in the future. ”

"No need, thank you, auntie! You might as well keep it for yourself. Without my mother's consent, I accepted other people's things privately, for fear of upsetting her. Mei Xiang politely declined.

Wu He said: "What's not happy about this, isn't it just two pieces of clothes, and it's not too valuable, what's upright, it's not that you're a likable kid, so don't make it look like you owe a lot of favors." Besides, I haven't worn it anyway, it's all fresh. His father's vision is high, and his choice is not tacky. ”

Liu Xingmei asked, "Then why don't you wear it?" ”

Wu He smiled bitterly and said: "That dress is too gorgeous, in the past few years, the color and style were similar to those worn by the girls of the old Wu family, and it was also fashionable in the city back then." If you want to put it on hold now, maybe you can't catch up with the epidemic. At that time, I was thinking, with our identity, I felt that I couldn't wear it, it was too eye-catching, and it would make others scold me like a goblin, so I kept pressing the bottom of the box! Now that people are getting old, they are no longer worthy of wearing. Thinking about it at this time, I can't help but regret it a little too late, why don't you wear it when you are in the prime of life? Why care about other people's eyes! Want Want is a boy, and he can't wear bells and whistles, and he puts it away. Sometimes when I think of it, I take it out and look at it, and it's weird that I feel uncomfortable! In the past, his father said that I was too cheesy to dress, just like how much he had seen the world, but I was always embarrassed to wear it, because I was afraid that others would say that I was a man who loved to put on the seedlings, and my reputation was enough to make people murmur behind my back! This woman, when she is young, she should wear more presentable clothes when the days come, don't wait until you are old to think about it, you can't wear it if you want to, don't forget your good age! Today's good clothes can only be worn by others, and they can only be greedy! ”

Her emotional words made Liu Xingmei and Mei Xiang feel sad when they heard it. Everyone knows that she is thinking about Miao Yunchang!

Want Want can also hear that his mother is thinking about his father! When his father was leaving on a snowy morning, he said that he was going to hunt a sika deer and come back, which became his forever vague memory, and he tried to think about his father's voice and smile back then, but he couldn't spell out his complete and credible outline!

Liu Xingmei said with a smile: "Sister He is really good at laughing, you look like you are only in your twenties, where do you get old!" If you don't take Want Want outside, others will think that you are a yellow flower girl. ”

Mei Xiang also said: "Auntie's words are also interesting, is there anyone in the world who is so young and says old?" Those who are really old don't know what they want to be like yet! ”

Wu He sighed lightly and said helplessly: "You two will comfort people." Perhaps, I am not old at heart! ”

Liu Xingmei listened to Wu He's sad words, so she pretended to smile heartily and persuaded: "It doesn't matter if it's young or old, as long as it has a breath to live, you have to be happy and happy, if you are in a bad mood, you are sorry for yourself, why are people not in a lifetime, but how to live differently!" ”

Wu He let out a sigh, put away the tears flashing in his eyes, and said, "Okay, then don't say you're unhappy." Xingmei, you will be alone at home at night in the future, but you should be more careful. I think so, or I'll discuss it with Want Want's grandparents, how about I come over and be your companion? Wait for you in a few days—"

Liu Xingmei said: "No, the uncle and aunt are old, it is not good if something happens to you if you are not here, and your home is far away from the village, and it is not easy for others to know if there is a big or small affair." I have a shotgun and a black tiger, and I won't be afraid. This Zhenkun must seem empty when he leaves, and it will be good to get used to it after a long time. ”

"If you're alone, squeak when you're home."

"Okay."

Mei Xiang's mouth moved, as if she had something to say, but she didn't say it.

Liu Xingmei saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, so she didn't ask. Looking at Mei Xiang, if she changes into new clothes, she will immediately look beautiful. It's time for her to be a matchmaker, just because her family is poor, and no one has rushed to ask someone to propose marriage! She was thinking in her heart, Tao Zhenkun's words revealed his liking for Mei Xiang, is this lustful idea of a man despicable and shameless? Did his words come from the heart? Men have the habit of liking the new and hating the old, how can there be so many pure and dedicated feelings in the world?! If Tao Zhenkun can come back like a rich man, he can consider taking a concubine to inherit the Tao family. If the two daughters serve a husband together, will she be jealous of Mei Xiang, who she also likes? You're going to be back soon?! As long as you can come back safely, anything can be discussed. She suddenly felt that her cranky thoughts were not only ridiculous but also despicable and shameless, how could she let the flower of Mei Xiang also be inserted into the cow dung? Thinking so, she laughed at herself. However, if Mei Xiang marries someone else one day in the future, she is really a little reluctant.

Not long after Wu He left with his mother and son and Mei Xiang, Luo Fang also came, and Liu Xingmei let her into the house.

"Auntie, sit down quickly." Liu Xingmei is naturally very enthusiastic.

Luo Fang said: "Although our two families are far away, we can't write two 'Tao' characters in one stroke. Over the years, the two families have been doing very well, and when Zhenkun left, he also left a message for us to take good care of you. In the future, if there is anything to squeak, let alone that there are others who watch jokes and do not have their own family to watch jokes. Your uncle and your brother also mean the same, I just give you the bottom in advance, it's always okay to be a big favor and not help a small favor. ”

"Thank you, aunt and uncle!" Liu Xingmei was very moved.

It's always good to have someone to care about.

That night, Liu Xingmei lay alone on the kang tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, feeling that the room was empty and lonely like a tomb, and she became a living dead who did not die in the coffin! Thinking about it, the final end of the turn still fell on Tao Zhenkun's body, and what I was worried about at this time was that I didn't know where he and Chu Yunzhao were, whether they were safe or not, and I didn't know if they could find a good life, and where they would end up. Men go out to work hard, just to settle down and support their families, which has been a matter of course since ancient times.

If you want to raise your head and be a man, you have to make sacrifices, and it is inevitable to abandon your family and business, all for the future!

Money is actually the real devil in this world, and under its silent domineering and obscenity, anyone who thinks that he is conceited can also bow his proud head and become a slave, being called around, giving up resistance, and only obeying!

Because I think too much, I will be a little dizzy, and when I am in a daze, I seem to hear the sound of my father-in-law's crutches knocking back and forth on the ground in the outhouse of the east house when he is seriously ill; At the same time, it was accompanied by the mother-in-law's nonsense after her madness: "The person is gone, the gun is lost, the dog is gone, it's a shame - the tiger skin wraps the person, everything comes true!" ””

There is no house ghost that can't attract outsiders, and even the ghost of the Japanese Inukai Saburo has been followed and invited, shouting grievances in the ear like collecting debts: "I died unjustly, return my life!" Give me back—"

It was as if the ghosts of these three men were lurking in the corners of this dark room and refused to leave, occasionally coming out to expel the sleepy sleepiness.

Her heart was crying out strongly: "Dad! Mother! I didn't fail to be unfilial when you were alive! Why are you pestering me? Why-"

Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is worshiped by incense, do you even let lonely souls and wild ghosts enter the house to harass you? Manifest yourself!

For a moment, the claws of fear seemed to tighten her throat, with the torment of suffocation, the frequency of her heartbeat was accelerating, and she could almost hear the thump from her chest. She pulled the quilt and covered her head, her trembling body curled up into a snail like hiding in a hard shell, and at this time she began to regret why she didn't let Wu He come as a companion!

She endured breathlessness and found that her courage was not big enough, and her stubbornness could not restrain the cowardice brought by her guts, and the once pungency was gone. I don't know how long it was, when she was hazy and seemed to be asleep, she suddenly heard the black tiger in the yard barking, and the cry seemed to have found someone. Her blood was surging, and she bravely pulled her head out of the quilt, and found that her face was covered with sweat, as if it had been washed.

She was ashamed of her pathetic behavior, wiped her wet cheeks with her sleeve, and thought suspiciously: Is this still my old Liu Xingmei?!

She listened attentively, and the dogs in the left and right courtyards were barking. If there was nothing, the black tiger would not have barked indiscriminately. In the darkness, she found a match to light the oil lamp that had been placed aside, as if the light had driven away the wandering evil spirits, and quickly got out of the bed, she did not take off her clothes, put on her shoes, took the lamp and went to the outhouse, grabbed the double-barreled shotgun from behind the water tank, and then put the lamp on the pot and opened the door and walked out.

Tao Zhenkun handed over this home to her to take care of, so there can be no thing that is lost, and the poor family also has things to steal, could it be that Tao Zhenkun came to visit as soon as he left?

"Black Tiger, what's it called?"
