Tao Zhenkun kicked her on the side.

But Liu Xingmei ignored him, and continued:

"You've also heard of Lin Zexu's 'Humen Selling Tobacco', right? Stop being the 'sick man of East Asia'! That thing is harmful to others and oneself, and can poison people's physical and mental health, and our country has been poisoned by duck chips, so let's quit it in the future, so as to set an example for future generations. A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future. They are all croppers who are digging in the soil, sweat beads fall on the ground and fall eight petals, it is not easy, all year round, there is no input, it is nothing more than relying on people to plant the harvest in the sky, and the harvest in good years is OK, with surplus grain, you can also sell two pocket money. Just like this year, the grain that was about to enter the warehouse was smashed to the ground by an unexpected hailstorm, and it was almost no harvest. You can't do without food, right? You can't tighten your belts! If there is spare food at home, it is a different matter, if there is none, it is not a child! As a man, the head of the family has the responsibility to let his wife and children live a good life, otherwise he is not worthy of being a man, I look down on him! I-"

Tao Zhenkun was really a little anxious, pulled Liu Xingmei and signaled her to stop talking. And muttered, "You are a toad yawning - extra of this stinky mouth!" ”

He didn't expect Liu Xingmei to say these unexpected words to someone who was still a relatively stranger, it was just a superfluous move!

"I-" Chu Yunzhao looked panicked and embarrassed, and he was so embarrassed!

The woman gave her husband a blank look and said, "As for your brother, he is so stubborn that he can't say anything, and he can't listen to anyone's words, otherwise life would have come to this point!" ”

At this moment, Mei Xiang took a small black porcelain basin and a ceramic bowl with a piece of ballast and led her younger brother out.

Liu Xingmei squatted down, untied the noodle bag, took the bowl and reached into the bag to scoop up the full of pointed yellow rice noodles, and poured it into the basin held by Mei Xiang, Mei Xiang also squatted down and continued.

Chu Yunzhao's wife hurriedly said on the side: "Enough, there are not many of you." ”

"Anyway, I have to have enough to eat."

Liu Xingmei said and put the bowl into the bag again, looked at Mei Xiang, who was blushing and asked, "Your name is Mei Xiang?" ”

"Hmm!" Mei Xiang nodded.

"How old are you this year?"

"Fourteen."

"You're about to become a big girl, you look so good!"

"Auntie is better-looking!" Mei Xiang's face turned even redder, and she replied shyly as if she had rubbed rouge powder.

Liu Xingmei generously scooped two bowls for Mei Xiang's praise of herself, and the more she looked at Mei Xiang, the more she liked it, and found that she really looked very similar to herself, and thought in her heart that she would have the opportunity to socialize with her. Then he put the bowl in the basin and asked the little boy, "What is your name?" ”

At this time, the little boy was also very generous, and said in a childish childish voice: "Dog! ”

Liu Xingmei couldn't help laughing, and said, "Little guy, your name is not as good as your sister, let your father give you another one!" You're both in school, right? ”

"No-yes-!" Mei Xiang looked at her father and said.

"Why?"

Mei Xiang didn't speak.

Liu Xingmei understood, and said: "Who knows what the future will be like, the children are still young, they have to learn some knowledge, there is always benefit and no harm in that." You don't have to pay for tuition, which is a good thing that you can't find with a lantern. ”

At this point, the dog sneezed, then coughed twice, and two lines of snot flowed. The dog egg didn't come to wipe it in time, and it was about to flow into his mouth, and when Liu Xingmei was secretly worried about him, he saw him stretch out his tongue with a mouth, and very dexterously sucked the snot like leaking vermicelli into his mouth, and swallowed the snot into his stomach without the slightest hesitation, as if he was afraid of wasting human resources.

Liu Xingmei frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach for this "bad habit", which was completely a dirty manifestation of her self-destructive image. However, she did not hate it, but on the contrary, she sympathized, because this behavior was very common in some children at that time, especially boys were more obvious than girls, because of poverty and lack of knowledge!

She said patiently: "Eating snot is dirty, that's unhygienic, don't do it in the future." Don't wear a hat either, be careful if you catch a cold. ”

At that time, the children were also solid, and their resistance and immunity were good, not as pampered as they are now.

The dog smiled, a little embarrassed, but wiped the traces of snot with his sleeve, but he didn't expect him to respond to hygiene in such a simple way.

Chu Yunzhao and his wife saw it in their eyes, and couldn't help but be embarrassed by their son's embarrassing behavior! In front of outsiders, it's not easy to blame.

She touched Mei Xiang's pink face lovingly, touched the dog's head, glanced at the husband and wife while tying the string in her pocket, stood up and said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, you see how good these two children are, both children and daughters, you should feel happy, don't forget: those who are content are always happy." ”

Chu Yunzhao and his wife were a little in a daze at this time, with tears in their eyes, and they were greatly moved.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Mei Xiang said sweetly.

Liu Xingmei smiled at her, took something and turned around with Tao Zhenkun to leave.

"It's winter, it's almost the New Year, and it's not easy for this family to have a bad time!" Liu Xingmei sighed with compassion.

"Isn't there such a saying, swallow the sound of winter and the moon, and who is afraid of whom is the spring flowers. The life of a poor family, as long as they don't freeze to death or starve, they are lucky! ”

Liu Xingmei sighed lightly, and then recited a poem by Du Fu: "'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road', just this world!" ”

Tao Zhenkun complained: "You, you, it's really a dog's belly that can't hold two taels of ghee, what's wrong with a mouse, why don't you forget it when you put your claws on it?" Let me not talk about the big smoke, but you can't hold it with a big fart, and you still shake it out, like a fast-talking starling! ”

Liu Xingmei said with a smile: "I am called open-minded, I don't hide it, I don't hide it, I'm kind, I love to listen to it if I say it, in short, I have a clear conscience!" ”
