Li Xiangru likes children very much, especially the cute and beautiful little girl who seems to have a halo in her eyes.

At that time, no matter how hard he worked after dropping out of school, he always kept the best things for his sister. He can eat steamed buns and drink tap water, and he doesn't want his sister to starve.

Under the hustle and bustle of the bustling metropolis, the gray city with the lights psychedelic and cold architecture and the indifferent expression, he endured all the loneliness and hardship, just to let his sister have a better life, let her read more books, and have a good future in the future.

Every year on his sister's birthday, he would take leave to rush back, wait for her at the school gate in clean and tidy clothes, take her out to play, and take her out to eat some delicious food. He didn't know what was delicious, he just felt that what was expensive was good. Sensibly my sister always refuses to enter those high-end places.

He remembered that once his sister said to him, brother, you are so tanned, you must have a hard time outside, we don't need to waste so much. You can come over for my birthday, and that's already the best birthday present.

That sentence brought tears to his eyes.

Seeing Wan'er, who still had some flour on her face, gulping down the "cake", Li Xiangru untied her apron and smiled. Then he said to the ugly girl who was helping on the side: "This cost is a little bigger, you need a lot of eggs, and the better the gluten, the better the taste." If you don't have sugar, you can replace it with other sweeteners, such as sugar cane juice or even some pears. However, the cost is too high, so it can be sold to large families at a high price. Some of the bread recipes that were given to you can be put in the noodle shop and sold together. ”

The ugly lady looked at Li Xiangru with a smile of adoration, she really didn't expect that the brother she recognized was not only handsome, but also had great skills, and he was even so proficient in cooking. Some of the tofu milk he taught her to make was already very popular in the noodle shop. If these cakes are made and sold, then she will no longer have to worry about the white flowers, and she will no longer have to worry about these younger siblings starving and cold!

Li Xiangru was very satisfied with the ugly girl's admiration, the more she looked at the ugly girl, the more beautiful she felt, and the flower-like appearance of the smile made him a little distracted.

Perhaps she found that the eyes were too ambiguous, and the ugly girl came back to her senses and lowered her head, and the blush extended from her face to her neck.

Li Xiangru coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then said, "Uh...... Get it all out, those little ones can't wait. ”

After Li Xiangru finished speaking, he grabbed Wan'er, who was running around excitedly, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Don't fall, let's go, let's go to the back room to eat cake with your little brothers." ”

The ugly lady hurriedly responded, walked to the stove and picked up this beautifully decorated cake, and followed behind Li Xiangru.

The ugly lady put the cake on the small table in the courtyard, and asked them to wash their hands one by one according to Li Xiangru's instructions.

The ugly girl is like a kindergarten teacher, carefully checking the cleanliness of the children's hands, and the snotty Erniu was reprimanded by her with a straight face because she touched her nose with her hands and washed it again with a frustrated face. The children who washed their hands sat around the table, quietly waiting until everyone was together, they looked at the cake on the table and drooled, Wan'er was like a little adult to allocate which piece belonged to which person, and said how many eggs the cake spent, how to make it, and where the position was sweeter.

It's a very harmonious and interesting picture. Li Xiangru looked at the immature voice of the "little housekeeper's wife", and couldn't help but laugh when she spoke in a milky voice.

Wash your hands, it was Li Xiangru who ordered. This habit began on the day he gave the order, and it will continue forever, it is an order, a command that even the ugly girl must obey. Although many of them didn't think so, they still chose to be obedient, except for Douzi, except for the mysterious big sister (Huang Xiaowei), only Li Xiangru was good to them, and this kind of good was more detailed. Li Xiangru not only made delicious food for them, not only healed Mingzhi's brother's legs, but also taught them to write their names.

In their eyes, Lee Sang-ru also seems to be a great man who can do anything. Erniu said that he wanted to learn how to cook from Li Xiangru, and Mingzhi said that he wanted to learn medicine from him. Wan'er, but she doesn't learn anything, she takes it for granted that she wants to marry her ugly sister Li Xiangru, and then she will have everything from then on.

Well. This idea is very good, when Li Xiangru heard Wan'er say this, he deliberately glanced at the ugly lady a few times, the ugly girl was just shy and arrogant and then glanced at him secretly, and immediately blushed and avoided after eye contact, which made Li Xiangru quite proud.

This idea was echoed by many people, but Erniu said a little sullenly, then, the ugly sister followed the eldest brother, what should I do in the future? Erniu was beaten by all the children, and even the ugly girl laughed and scolded, what does a runny child know how to marry? Erniu had to wipe his nose sneerfully after being despised again...... Then I went to wash my hands again.

"Big brother, this cake is delicious. In the future, can I eat every day?" Wan'er looked at Li Xiangru with expectation, and her big flickering eyes were extraordinarily bright.

Li Xiangru squatted down, couldn't help but nod Wan'er's nose, and said with a smile: "Glutton, you can't eat more of this cake~ If you eat too much, your teeth will get tooth decay, and then they all fall out, just like the toothless Rong Mama at the corner of the street." ”

"Ah...... That...... So what to do? This cake ...... It's delicious...... I like it so much......" Wan'er's eyebrows furrowed when she heard this, and she looked reluctant. She loves to eat this cake when she bites into it, and when she takes it, she can feel it slowly melting in her mouth. However, she didn't want to become like the Rong Mama at the mouth of the alley, with a black mouth and no teeth. She stared at the cake in her hand, wanted to put it down several times, licked it with her tongue a few times reluctantly, and then looked at the ugly girl melancholy.

Li Xiangru and the ugly girl looked at each other and smiled, very helpless, after being teased by Wan'er for a while.

Li Xiangru said funny: "It's okay to eat a little once in a while." But I can't eat it often, Wan'er's teeth haven't been replaced yet. But ......"

Li Xiangru's eyes rolled and deliberately lengthened the sound to make a mysterious shape.

Wan'er was really attracted, stared at Li Xiangru with big eyes, and asked, "But...... What?"

"As long as Wan'er is obedient, Wan'er will make you a cake for your birthday every year in the future. Li Xiangru smiled.

"Really, don't lie!" Wan'er slapped excitedly.

"I'll bring you a cake until Wan'er doesn't want to eat it. Li Xiangru said, "Let's go eat cake with everyone." ”

"yes...... Big brother is the best. ”

The cake is used to play, to be smeared on the face of the play. This kind of behavior will be a shameless waste in the eyes of this group of children, who do not even have enough to eat all year round, and of course will not allow it to be wasted. As a result, Li Xiangru had no choice but to touch his nose in embarrassment and dismiss the game in the face of unanimous opposition.

They were all happy to eat and have fun.

Mingzhi can already walk on the ground, and it's still okay to trot.

The ugly lady chaired by the door, looking at Li Xiangru's back in a daze. At this time, her younger siblings really looked like a group of children, a group of children of their age. And this man, although his body is thin and his face is still pale, gives them an unprecedented sense of security and happiness.

It would be nice if this man had been guarding them like this all along. Or rather, it would be nice if he could be his husband, it just so happens that he likes these younger siblings, and his younger siblings like him.

Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned red. She took a sip to herself, and carefully watched to see if anyone noticed her. After discovering that Lee Sang-ru was happily playing the game of "throwing handkerchiefs" with them, she became happy again.

There is nothing to be ashamed of, if you can marry him, I believe he can also give himself happiness. Thinking of this, her heart was as sweet as drinking honey.

Li Xiangru looked at the ugly girl who was snuggling by the door in a daze, and felt that she was too nervous, thinking that the ugly girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was still a child in junior high school, but she had to lose so much happiness in this world. This was not something she should have borne at her age, so he ran over and pulled her into their handkerchief-tossing game, despite the ugly girl's refusal......

People have to go through a lot of hardships in life, and since this is already the case, why should they live with a straight face all the time? Li Xiangru did not want to turn his life into poetry, but he did not want his life to become muddy.

The afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkled in this small courtyard, the immature smiling faces became bright and dark when they ran, this is a real small world, simple, immature, happy, happy.

This is Li Xiangru's life these days, there are no knives, guns, sticks, and intrigues. He really wants to freeze the world like this, and he wants to let life go on like this forever.

A flower is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi, a song is a sigh, and a dream is also melodious.

Living in this world, we all treat life with our own way of life, whether it is pain, happiness, mediocrity, or tragedy. It's not an accident, it's not an accident, it's just a phenomenon in the world, and the source of all this is nothing more than your most important desire for life in the first place.

Because you came to this world, for you to come to this world, no matter where you come from, no matter how much suffering you go through, you want to be a wonderful life, and you try to live, you struggle to live.

The wonderful and precious thing about life is that it is not blindly passively received, but can be pulled on the track of the future you want through your limited time of hard work and dedication, even if it can't completely go to the end of the track you want, at least let it run in the direction you expect.

Life has created us, and we are there to create miracles in life.

It turns out that the beauty is not life, but the living beings who strive to live.

Li Xiangru thought of this, and his heart suddenly brightened.

This epiphany made him instantly step into the threshold that he had not been able to enter for a long time - the hidden spring.
