is worthy of being a brother and sister, this is not only Guo Mianmian wants to owe Heng, Guo Lin also wants to owe Heng. earns three or four hundred wen a month, although it can't make a fortune, so that the family doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and even can eat meat or walk every month.

Who knows if Wen's has a hole in his brain, and the well-paid shoeworkers don't do it, but they happen to take the job from the embroidery workshop, not to mention that they don't earn as much as those shoeworkers.

Guo Shu also thought in his heart that Wen was stupid and would not calculate this account, he was not like his younger brother, but he just guessed: "It can also be that she is high-spirited and doesn't want us to pity her so she can help her!" ”

Guo Lin rolled his eyes, which was quite similar to the white eyes that Guo Mianmian threw at him in the past: "If you are really high-spirited, why don't you quit the errand of our workshop?" I think she is digging deep into the soft soil of our family's pity for her. ”

Guo Shu smiled and did not argue, but agreed with what he said.

The brothers suppressed their voices the whole time, and Wen, who was sitting in the carriage, did not hear it. Seeing that Guo Mianmian always refused to answer her words, she listened to the sound of the wheels pressing against the road, looked at the basket at her feet, and a touch of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes!

The journey did not stop, and finally returned to the village before nightfall. The car stopped in an open field, Wen rolled the car door and got down, and thanked the Guo brothers: "Thank you for bringing me back, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to get home." ”

The brothers waved their hands in unison, indicating that Wen did not need to thank him. Guo Lin waved his whip and said casually as the ox cart moved forward: "Hurry home, don't let your uncle and aunt wait in a hurry." ”

"Well, I'll go back." Wen looked at Guo Lin intently and replied softly. Guo Lin drove the head of the carriage away without looking back, and the smile on the corner of her mouth looked particularly strange under the blood-red sunset.

The carriage drove straight forward, and it was not until he turned a corner that he could not see it at all, and then Wen walked briskly towards his home with his basket. On the way, I met a woman, and when I saw the contents of her basket, I asked a lot of questions.

Wen picked up the hair that was blown away by the wind, and said a little uncomfortably: "This is not to do some embroidery work, I heard that the embroidery work in the city is expensive, so I went to the city to try my luck." ”

The woman was amazed and said, "Yo, this city is not close to us, and your feet are quite fast." ”

Wen became more and more uneasy, lowered his head and said, "I happened to run into the Guo family's ox cart, and it was Second Brother Guo who brought me back." Shut up and didn't mention that there were other brothers and sisters Guo Shu and Guo Lin in the car.

"Oh, that's so......" The woman didn't know, and when she saw Wen's behavior like this, she always thought that something was wrong. The next moment, as if she knew something terrible, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the shy Wen and couldn't speak......

Wen's beautiful feelings came to an abrupt end when he returned home and saw the stove without a trace of fireworks. With no smile on her face, she threw the basket to the ground and cursed in a low hateful voice.

Hearing the movement at the door, Li Daya, who was coaxing her younger brother in the house, hurriedly ran out. Seeing Wen's gloomy face, she shrunk her neck in fright and shouted in a low voice: "Mother, you are back!" ”

Li Daya is the eldest daughter of Wen and Gangzi, she is ten years old, and she looks thin and small, almost the same as a seven or eight-year-old child. Gangzi is still there, he is willing to suffer and exert his strength, even if he can't let the family eat big fish and meat, at least he won't be hungry, and the family and Meimei are together in exchange for money.

After Gangzi left, everything changed, the Li family was not as good as before, and Wen's personality became good and bad, and he didn't treat Li Daya's daughter very well, and he scolded her if he was slightly unsatisfactory. After a long time, I was stunned to let an open-minded, vivid and flattering little girl, resulting in this shrunken and timid demeanor.

"Stinky girl, the old lady is not dead yet, who are you crying and sad to show it!" Li Daya's demeanor deeply stimulated Wen's, and she didn't want to let go so she slapped Li Daya in the face.

"Ahh

"Dare to scream? Tell the old lady to tear your mouth again! Wen's "snapped" a few times and slapped Li Daya's emaciated back again, hitting Li Daya back again and again, and she fell to the ground.

Li Daya's back hurt hotly, she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, so she had to hold back her tears and grit her teeth to prevent herself from making a sound, for fear of another beating.

Wen glared at Li Daya fiercely several times, and the annoyance in his heart was slightly dissipated, and then he asked with a straight face, "Where did your grandmother go again?" ”

Li Daya didn't dare to cover it, and said with a crying voice: "Milk, milk is pasting a cloth board at Grandma Tian's house, and grandpa went to clean the ditch in the wheat field." ”

Now that it's winter, there is no work for even the weeds in the field, so Grandma Li couldn't stay idle and took over the work of making cloth boards, so she went to Grandma Tian's house every day to paste cloth boards.

These cloth panels are the material for the soles of the shoes, which are indirectly for Guo Mianmian to work. If it weren't for Grandma Li's unclear eyes, with her good skills when she was young, she would have picked up needlework and thread to make tiger head shoes.

, the paste cloth board is not bad, easy and light, a month can more or less earn one or two hundred dollars, the family of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar money.

After hearing this, Wen's brows furrowed again, and he didn't speak and curse anymore, but shouted at Li Daya: "What are you doing standing stupidly?" I'm still annoyed to cook! ”

Li Daya dared to stand, hurriedly ran to the stove room, and began to wash vegetables and rice neatly, for fear that the Wen family would look at her unpleasantly again, and she would quarrel again for no reason.

Wen didn't stare at Li Daya cooking, she picked up the basket on the ground and went to her house.

As soon as she took out a bag of things in the basket and hid it, she saw her eldest son and younger son lying on the door frame and secretly looking in, she suddenly panicked, but she turned a cold face to her two sons: "What did you two see?" ”

The older one is seven years old and his name is Li Daqiang. Hearing Wen's question, he not only didn't have to be afraid, but also asked with a smile: "Mother, did you buy sugar, I saw that you hid the sugar packet." ”

The younger one is called Li Xiaoqiang, as soon as he heard the sugar, his eyes immediately lit up, and he sucked on his black fingers and said: "Sugar, mother, eat sugar, eat sugar!" ”

Wen was startled, I was afraid that the two sons thought it was sugar and ate it by mistake, so they immediately warned: "Da Bao'er, Xiao Bao'er, that's the rat poison that my mother bought, it's a poisonous rat, you two must not touch it!" ”

Li Daqiangren was careful and did not believe Wen's words. It's just that he knew that Wen was at home, and he couldn't eat sugar, so he pretended to believe it when his eyes rolled, and warned his younger brother Xiaoqiang: "Mother said, it's rat poison, not sugar, and people can't eat it." ”

Li Xiaoqiang was only four years old, and he didn't know what rat poison was, and when he heard that it wasn't sugar, he couldn't eat it, so he pouted and was about to cry: "Sugar...... If you want to eat sugar, Xiao Bao'er wants to eat candy......"

Wen was very distressed, and quickly picked up his little son and coaxed: "Little Bao'er, the next day my mother will buy you candy to eat, and after a while, you can buy it for you even if you eat sugar every day." ”

The children were very coaxing, and when they heard that there was candy to eat the next day, Li Xiaoqiang burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, good, eat sugar, eat sugar, eat sugar every day!" ”

I don't know if I coaxed my youngest son, Wen also laughed, and the love in his eyes seemed to overflow: "Good Bao'er, my mother will definitely let you eat sugar every day and let you live a good life!" ”

After talking to his two sons for a while, Wen remembered that he had another part-time job to do, so he told him a few times to get busy. Confirming that she wouldn't be able to come back for a while, Li Daqiang immediately took his younger brother's hand and went straight to the wooden box where the Wen family had just hidden.

The box rested on the shelf, and Li Daqiang tiptoed to open the box. His hand groped in the box, and soon he touched something like a paper bag, and immediately took it out with a burst of joy......

Although there are a few acres of fertile land, it is easy for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to do some needlework to subsidize the family, there is no strong labor force in the family, and every day when they open their eyes, they are six mouths waiting for food.

On this day, the Li family's dinner was still sweet potato porridge, and the porridge was a bowl of home-pickled sour cowpeas. A small bowl of steamed eggs on the side of the sour cowpeas belonged to the brothers Li Daqiang and Li Xiaoqiang, and the Wen family specially told Li Daya to make it day by day, in order to make up for the two sons, for fear that they would lose their bodies and not be able to support the Li family's school in the future.

It's just that Uncle Li and Aunt Li have returned, and the food has been served, but the brothers are missing. Wen thought that the two sons were playing crazy inside and forgot to return, and when they were about to let Li Daya go out to call someone, they heard the cry of the children in the room.

"What's going on? The brothers are fighting again? Aunt Li put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and walked to the room, just thinking that the two grandsons were playing, and the eldest grandson made the younger grandson cry with his heavy hands.

Listening to the sharp cry of his youngest son, Wen's heart was inexplicably troubled. I wanted to put down the dishes and chopsticks and stand up to coax her, but when I saw that Aunt Li had already crossed the threshold and entered, I knew that she could coax my little son, so she sat still and continued to eat with the rice bowl.

The next moment, Aunt Li's exclamation in a different tone sounded in the room: "Quick, come on, Da Qiang has a fever, Da Qiang has a high fever, go and call the Seventh Master over!" ”

A child's fever is not a new thing, if it is an ordinary fever, Aunt Li will never be this reaction, it can be seen that Li Daqiang is very nervous about the fever, so nervous that he must immediately call Li Qiye over.

"Click", Wen's chopsticks fell from between her fingers and fell to the ground, she put the bowl on the table randomly, and immediately stood up and rushed into the room, her face was full of panic: "Da Qiang, Da Bao'er, Da Bao'er, mother's Da Bao'er-"

Uncle Li and Lady Li also reacted, and quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and went to the room. Li Daya followed Uncle Li and walked two steps quickly, and then remembered something, suddenly turned around and ran out, and soon disappeared into the dark night.

The movement of the Li family was not small, and the colleagues who were eating dinner next door were sensational, so they put down the dishes and chopsticks and came to the Li family, wanting to know what happened after all.

Since Gangzi was behind the accident, the Li family and the village have had a lot less contact, Aunt Li and Uncle Li are good people, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Li, who is a descendant of an ancestor.

"What's wrong with the second aunt, what's wrong with Daqiang and Xiaoqiang?"

A group of people followed the sound to the room, and saw Aunt Li crying with Daqiang in her arms, Wen crying with Xiaoqiang in her arms, and the two children with their eyes closed tightly, and their expressions were burning red and abnormal, so they couldn't help but get anxious.

You must know that the Li family has a son, and the family has collapsed half without Gangzi, and in the future, it will rely on Daqiang and Xiaoqiang to support the school. If these two children have one long and two short, the remaining half will also collapse.

"I don't know, I don't know...... Gangzi ...... My grandson, God, don't give me a way out! Looking at his grandson, who was flushed and unconscious, Uncle Li collapsed and patted his thighs, and dirty old tears flowed all over his face.

"Second uncle, don't cry, don't cry, I've already called the seventh master, the child will definitely be fine!" Seeing Uncle Li like this, the villagers couldn't bear to ask any more, so they all stepped forward to comfort them.
