Wan'er always reminds her of her sister in that world, and he remembers that when she was young, her sister was as delicate and lovely as Wan'er. No longer deliberately dirty Wan'er if a porcelain doll, people can't help but approach her when they see her. The big eyes, long eyelashes, and delicate facial features made him amazed.

He had never met the wife of the commander, and none of the people in the barracks had ever mentioned her. Even when he took the initiative to ask, they looked mysterious and reluctant to mention it.

He had maliciously guessed whether the woman was just as brave as those five big and three rough men in the barracks.

And every time he was angrily reprimanded and kicked and punished by the division commander, he thought like this, fantasizing about a taller and stout woman yelling at the division commander, and the division commander was only whispering and fearing on the side. Then he forgot the kick he had received, forgot the exhaustion of the punishment, and there he giggled maliciously.

Forehead...... It doesn't seem good to guess someone you respect and have passed away. So Li Xiangru shook his head and pulled himself back to reality. Laughing and groaning, he looked at Wan'er, Mingzhi, Xiao Wu, and Niu Niu happily playing with toys and showing off to each other.

The furniture in the house is very simple, and even the piectogether dining table has traces of repair. The beds side by side are full of patches, and the simple quilts can't withstand the cold of winter.

Douzi is the eldest boy, but he is only fifteen years old, and Douzi and Ugly Niang support the five children in the house. After Douzi left, thirteen-year-old Mingzhi became the biggest man in the house.

The ugly girl's heart is kind, and some of the kind are not suitable for this world. She sold all the property left to her by the old woman, except for this two-house house and a house with a small yard, just to feed this group of wandering orphans. On weekdays, I save money to save this ration for these younger brothers and sisters. Her only request was that the younger siblings were not allowed to steal and rob, and she didn't even want the kids to join the gang.

Beans did not listen to her, for which they had a cold war for a while.

Douzi just said to her, I went out, just to better protect you. Only in this way will I have a little bit of strength, and you will have a chance to keep you from being bullied by others.

The ugly lady is still very angry.

Beans rarely come back, one is busy. Second, when doing things in a gang, it is inevitable to fight and kill, and Douzi doesn't want to be too involved with the ugly girl, so as not to affect them. The beans were still given to them every month with some silver. After a long time, the ugly girl slowly put it down and tried to understand the beans. In such a world, maybe his kindness shouldn't be? At least it has been proved that their lives are better than before, and there are not so many people to bully them.

She sighed and sighed, but she felt that she was not capable of protecting these younger siblings. With her figure and appearance, she can naturally marry a wife, and Granny Wang next door has worried a lot about this. The ugly lady just gritted her teeth, until there was one condition, these younger brothers and sisters wanted to be together.

Ten years ago, Jingguo had internal and external troubles, and natural and man-made disasters were frequent. Although the conditions of Jingguo are much better now, and even the invasion of foreign enemies has been repulsed, no one can get rich enough to have five or six more mouths in vain. Later, Wang Po stopped paying attention.

The real change, of course, is the acquaintance with the third lady,

Once, she was washing clothes in the yard, which was a job that Wang Po introduced to her.

There was a very temperamental woman, who slowly pushed open the door of their yard, the woman was not tall, not very beautiful, and did not seem to like to laugh. When she came in, she just looked around, looked at a few children chasing and frolicking with runny noses, looked at her who was doing laundry, and looked at the large basins of clothes that were still sitting next to her.

At that time, the woman's brows furrowed, and then she said to her domineeringly, "You don't have to wash clothes in the future, you are in a good mood today, and you have taken a place, which was a small noodle stall before, if you can cook noodles, you will give it to you, and pay me 10% of the rent every month." If you don't know how to cook noodles, that's okay too. I'll have people take you to church. After saying that, she turned around and left, and the ugly girl didn't even have a chance to refuse, but just opened her mouth wide and looked at the woman's back.

When the woman walked to the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around as if she remembered something, and said to the ugly girl, "My name is Huang Xiaowei, the third lady of the Tsing Yi Gang, and we will be sisters in the future." Well...... Douzi has made a great contribution, this is a reward for him, but you don't have to think about it, I often hear Douzi mention you, mention you, and I have long wanted to come and see. I've seen it today, and I admire you too. Even if you don't have beans, you're going to recognize your sister. No one will bully you anymore!"

This is the first meeting between the ugly girl and Huang Xiaowei. Dramatically, domineeringly meet. When the shop opened, she symbolically came over once, to announce that the place was covered by her. I rarely saw her after that. The third lady would occasionally bring them some clothes and food.

With the third lady of the Tsing Yi Gang covering them, it is naturally a lot less trouble.

Li Xiangru's arrival gave them more warmth. Mingzhidi's leg can be cured, and Wan'er and they are holding toys and eating candy and frolicking happily.

The ugly lady sitting on the side looked at this simple happiness, forgot her worries, and smiled while sewing and mending her clothes.

That kind of laughter, like the morning sun after continuous rain, warm and pleasant.

This smile was stared at by a pair of eyes.

Maybe she had been stared at by Li Xiangru for a long time, and the ugly girl lowered her head a little shyly to avoid his gaze.

In such a world, for a poor woman, being handsome cannot be regarded as a good thing.

Li Xiangru walked up to the ugly lady and laughed softly: "It turns out that the ugly lady who washes clean is quite beautiful." No wonder the bad guys hit you. ”

"Childe...... Well, Brother Li made fun of me again. The ugly girl's neck was red with shyness, and she turned around stiffly, but the stitches and stitches were wrong several times. There was a panicked sweetness and joy in her heart.

Li Xiangru smiled and stopped talking. He walked over to Mingzhi's bedside and took his hand.

"Big brother, I'm much better. Mingzhi's face was dark, and he looked at Li Xiangru with admiration and respect.

Wan'er and the others also stopped frolicking at this time, and gathered around Li Xiangru to watch quietly.

"Hmm. The recovery is very fast, and there will be no problem in recuperating for a few days. Li Xiangru turned around again and said to Wan'er and the others: "In five or six days, will you return a lively Brother Ming?"

"Okay, okay, Brother Ming, the eldest brother said that you can be fine in a few days. Wan'er happily handed Brother Ming a candy and said, "Brother Ming, this candy is so sweet, you can take me to dig the bird's nest after you taste it." ”

Erniu also learned from Wan'er, took out a piece of candy and handed it to Mingzhi with a smile. Mingzhi took it with a smile, divided a few of his own to them, and exchanged a few linen clothes and coarse cloth children who ate and laughed simply and happily.

There is a pure white world here, an innocent smile.

There is a big world here, a small thin body, to provoke the lives of a few people. They are all orphans, individuals who huddle together to keep warm in this world.

Li Xiangru looked at it and was very happy.

If you are depressed, go and reach out to some children, whose purity alone can clean the dirt from your heart.

Li Xiangru walked out of the courtyard, and the children stood in the small courtyard to see each other off.

It was dusk at this time, and their innocent smiles were still clearly visible in the dim light.

Lee Sang-ru waved his hand and promised to come and see them when he was free.

The ugly lady asked Wan'er and them to continue playing, but she looked at Li Xiangru's departing back alone and sighed slightly.

Where did the beans go? The ugly lady didn't know, but she didn't want to show her worries in front of the children, and she didn't ask Li Xiangru. She is very busy, and when she is not working, she has to sew clothes at home and cook for her younger siblings. The third lady is missing, the life and death of the beans are unknown, who can they rely on?

Ugly girls are unlucky, but they are very lucky, because when they are unlucky, they meet a noble person who gives them hope to make them happy. However, none of them has the right to ask Lee Sang-ru to maintain this happiness.

She couldn't have the panic she had when she started hearing about the accident between Douzi and Miss Three. Because, behind her, there are still a few mouths waiting to be fed.

........................

Li Xiangru walked around several alleys a few times and stopped at the mouth of an alley at a crossroads. He thought for a moment, then walked down the alley to the right.

It was Lane 12, and there was an old man making wine in Lane 12. His wine is said to be very fragrant.

Li Xiangru turned around and found a small shop with a faint aroma of wine. The shop was really small, and it was in a deep alley. An old-fashioned "Apricot Blossom Wine" banner hangs alone by the door, listless.

An old man in a gray robe and white beard sat on an old rattan chair in the room, squinting his eyes, shaking his head slightly, humming a little song, holding a wine gourd, the wine gourd was smooth, and it looked like it was being held all year round. When he sang proudly, from time to time he reached out and grabbed a few peanuts on the plate on the small table next to him and stuffed them into his mouth.

Li Xiangru listened to this tune, but it had a very Peking Opera flavor. When the old man hummed, the tone was low but clear, and Li Xiangru didn't feel a little absorbed when he listened to it.

The white-bearded old man opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Xiangru, then closed his eyes again, and said lazily: "Little brother, the packed wine is on the edge of the cabinet." Fill it yourself, load it yourself, and put the silver directly on the counter on the left. ”

After saying that, he poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and began to hum a tune with a light beat, but this tune was a little quieter than before.

Li Xiangru was recalled from his memories by the words of the white-bearded old man, and he felt very funny when he heard what he said. "Uh...... Do you pay for your own drink?"

The white-bearded old man snorted impatiently, "Hmm...... Could it be that the old man didn't say it clearly enough? After finishing the wine, hurry up. ”

"Forehead......" Li Xiangru was suddenly a little choked by the old man's words, touched his nose, and felt that he was bored. Seeing that the old man narrowed his eyes again, he felt that he had indeed disturbed his mood a little.

Do the people in the capital have to be so different? Even the people who sell alcohol are like this?

If this were in that world, the store would definitely not be able to open.

Li Xiangru shook his head and ignored it, walked to the cabinet on the right, looked at the wine of different sizes, and thought about how many catties he should choose to go back and feed Da Hei.
