There is a grocery store at the mouth of the alley, which has just opened when Li Qingyou came.

The shopkeeper put a jar of honey on the counter and pushed it to Li Qingyou, "Buy so much, are you done eating?" ”

"It's been a bit hot lately, and I heard that this can defeat the fire, so I'll buy more." Li Qingyou handed over the money, picked up the honey and walked out of the grocery store, the jar was not small, Li Qingyou was a little hard to hold, and he was always worried that one would not fall steadily.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her, Li Qingyou hugged the jar and gave way, the footsteps gradually approached, and quickly stopped beside her, and then a familiar voice sounded, "Miss Li?" ”

Li Qingyou looked sideways and saw that it was Liu Xiaosan, and he was carrying a large bundle of firewood on his back.

In fact, there is a lot of firewood at home, and since Liu Xiaosan sent firewood, the stacks of firewood at home have become higher and higher. In the past, he only bought firewood once every three or four days, and he sent it every day, and there were several large stacks in the backyard.

Li Qingyou once asked him not to send it every day, and the family didn't need it so much, but Liu Xiaosan didn't listen, saying that it would be nothing to cut more, so as not to save enough winter.

"So early today?" When Li Qingyou saw that it was him, he naturally smiled.

"Huh? Ah, it's early. Liu Xiaosan's eyes flashed slightly, his expression was not as natural as usual, and when he saw the jar Li Qingyou was holding, he took it casually, "Give me a hug." ”

Li Qingyou glanced at the large bundle of firewood on his back, and wanted to say that he didn't need it, but he couldn't stand Liu Xiaosan's insistence, so he simply gave it to him.

The two walked back side by side, Li Qingyou pondered things in his heart, so he didn't squeak, and Liu Xiaosan didn't squeak, just lowered his head and walked forward silently.

Suddenly, Li Qingyou's footsteps paused.

Liu Xiaosan was stunned for a moment, followed her gaze, and saw a person in the alley, this person was tall and strong, about the same height as him, and he had beaten him.

It's Zhang Tieniu.

It's just that compared with the last time, it seems that Zhang Tieniu has lost a lot of weight?

He still has a scruffy beard, and his face is also very ugly.

Liu Xiaosan subconsciously blocked in front of Li Qingyou, but as soon as he took a step, he was pushed back, Li Qingyou frowned and looked at the firewood on his back, and the branch that stood out just now almost didn't poke her face.

"Is there something wrong with you getting up so early today?" Li Qingyou directly ignored Zhang Tieniu and looked at Liu Xiaosan.

She said that the last time she let Zhang Tieniu go, they didn't owe each other anything.

Liu Xiaosan sighed, looked at Zhang Tieniu again, and hurriedly followed Li Qingyou's footsteps, dragging Chai He behind him with one hand, and wanted to scratch his head with the other, but found that he was still holding an altar in his hand, so he had to give up.

I didn't say a word for a long time.

Li Qingyou glanced at him, and he was sure that there must be something wrong with him coming so early today, usually after breakfast.

I probably want firewood money and I'm embarrassed to say.

Li Qingyou didn't mention it, in front of outsiders, it's better to talk about this kind of thing later.

Passed by Zhang Tieniu all the way, neither of them said a word, Li Qingyou didn't even give him a look, Liu Xiaosan looked at him a few times, all with vigilance.

The light under Zhang Tieniu's eyes from the time it appeared to the time it disappeared, and it was only in the time that Li Qingyou walked away.

Back at Li's house, Li Qingyou estimated a few days' firewood money and gave it to Liu Xiaosan, but he said he didn't want anything.

"I, I'm not here for this." Liu Xiaosan and the two of them dodged back vigorously with their hands behind their backs.

Li Qingyou glanced at him suspiciously, what else is there?

As a result, he said nothing again, and Li Qingyou, who was watching, was anxious for him, "What's the matter with you, just say something, how can such a big man and a man be more abrasive than a woman?" ”

Liu Xiaosan's face was flushed when he said a word, but he still couldn't say it.

Li Qingyou rolled his eyes weakly, and didn't force him anymore, anyway, he would definitely say it when he should say it, "It just so happens that I have something to look for you......"

Li Qingyou told Liu Xiaosan about his previous plans, "The salary is three hundred yuan a month, and the reputation may not be good, you have to think clearly." ”

Although the Liu family is a little poor, they are also ordinary people, and running errands with Li Qingyou all day long will be thought to be a small servant, and a little servant is a house slave.

"I want to, I'm willing." Liu Xiaosan couldn't wait to agree, he didn't care about any civilians or domestic slaves, the most important thing was to eat well.

"Okay, if you want to, it's best to start today." Li Qingyou thought for a while, and then asked him, "Or do you want to go back and talk to your family?" ”

Not a small matter after all.

Liu Xiaosan's head shook like a rattle, "No, I'll go back in the evening." ”

Li Qingyou nodded and walked over to the little mountain lady who greeted him for dinner.

Liu Xiaosan didn't eat when he got up early, so Li Qingyou called him into the hall together.

Xiao Shanniang brought breakfast early, with the leftover grains and leftovers from last night, and cooked a big pot of corn paste, mixed a cold dish, plus a handful of shallots and sauce.

Ah Di will also get up, because today Li Qingyou promised to take him to the stone field, and he also had to find him a school, and the whole person was in a state of excitement, and he washed up much faster than usual.

The four of them gathered around the table, and the position where Zhao Xiaoshan sat every day was changed to Liu Xiaosan today, looking at the good things, anyway, the table full of food was swept away like a whirlwind, and Li Qingyou did not complain about the sorrow in his heart.

The most important thing is to make money.

Even if other expenses are left out, just eating is enough to choke, and it is only at this point that Li Qingyou deeply feels the hardships of life.

Ah Di was extremely excited today, like a little milk dog with chicken blood, he didn't use Li Qingyou to speak, and directly took out his little clothes from the cabinet and changed them on. Although the material was coarse, the style was not good-looking, and it was a bit large, it was his favorite.

I finally don't have to pretend to be a girl, and I finally don't have a skirt in front of my legs when I walk, cool.

However, before he could be cool enough, he was hit like a thunderbolt from the sky, looking at the upbringing grandma in her forties, who was slightly chubby, and had the urge to take off her pants and prove to everyone that she was a man.

Yesterday, Shen Sangongzi promised to help Li Qingyou find a nurturing grandma, and sent someone to Shen's house that night to explain the matter, and sent someone directly this morning.

"The old man's surname is Liu, and the girl can call me Mama Liu." Parenting is worthy of the word upbringing, words and deeds are decent, and every action is just right.

"It's hard work Mama Liu." Li Qingyou will also be a little difficult to ride a tiger, she really forgot about it.

Especially watching my brother change from a little milk dog with chicken blood to a dehydrated little mushroom, wilting and drooping, funny and unbearable, if he didn't promise to take him out before, it's okay, but if he agrees and regrets it, it's better not to agree.

But Mama Liu is here.

Li Qingyou hesitated, tentatively trying to see if Ah Di could be accommodating, but before she could speak, Ah Di spoke first......
