Thinking of this, Li Chengda only felt a burst of warmth in his heart, he picked up the meal, and ate it in a big gulp, only a vague thought floated in his heart, if the little girl could stay for him as a daughter-in-law, he could have a hot meal to eat when he went home every day, and that day was really incomparable to the gods.

As soon as this thought came up from the bottom of his heart, Li Chengda shook his head self-deprecatingly, he finished his meal with a sigh, and entered the hall, he saw a slender and gentle shadow sitting under the candlelight, where he was concentrating on mending clothes, hearing his footsteps, Cheng Jiaojiao raised her eyes, and saw that he was back, the girl stood up, but the clothes in her hands could not be hidden, and she only looked at him with some embarrassment.

"You're sewing clothes?" Li Chengda looked at the stack of clothes on the table, all of which were neat, and took out one casually, and saw that it was his father's, and the original worn places had been patched with patches, and the fine stitches could let people know at a glance that the person who sewed them was attentive.

And the one she was sewing in her hand was his own.

There are no women in the family, their father and son's clothes are often worn out and still on their bodies, and occasionally they have worked to help the neighborhood's aunt to help weave and mend twice, but the stitches are crooked, and Li Chengda will give up as soon as he mends them twice, and when the clothes are really torn, he will throw them away, and at this time, seeing that she has sewn and mended the clothes for their father and son, Li Chengda can't tell what it feels like in his heart, but he feels very grateful, so he said: "It's really hard for you." ”

Cheng Jiaojiao shook her head gently, meaning that he didn't need to thank her, she lived in their house every day, ate them, lived in them, and asked him to ask a doctor for herself, these are what she should do.

Seeing that the girl's face looked even softer in the candlelight, Li Chengda couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and the original thought floated in his heart again......

"Have you drunk?"

Cheng Jiaojiao smelled a faint smell of wine on him, only pointed to the wine glass on the table, and then pointed at him, with doubts in her eyes.

Li Chengda instantly understood what she meant, only retracted his thoughts, and replied, "Well, I had a few drinks with a few brothers." ”

After speaking, Li Chengda stuffed the clothes in his hand back indiscriminately, and said to Cheng Jiaojiao: "Don't do this, rest early." I'll send you back tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Jiaojiao was stunned, just thinking about gesturing to thank him, and told him that when she got home, she would ask her father and mother to return the ten taels of silver to him, but before she could express her meaning, Li Chengda had already waved his hand and said to her: "Don't thank me." Don't give me any money, you've been cooking and mending clothes at my house these days, and you've already paid for it. ”

Cheng Jiaojiao hurriedly shook her head and told him with gestures: "The silver must be returned to you." ”

Li Chengda's mind was not on the silver at all, he stared at the girl in front of him, and asked again: "Let's not talk about the silver, will your father and mother blame you when you go back?" Do they hurt you? ”

Although Cheng Jiaojiao didn't understand why he asked himself like this, she still nodded affirmatively, and then gestured to tell him: "Daddy loves me very much, I have three brothers and four sisters, and they all regard me as the pearl of their palms......"

Li Chengda looked at the girl in front of him, first stretched out three fingers, then pointed at him, then stretched out four fingers, pointed at herself, and finally, held her hands together.
