Li Xiong's family lives on the outskirts of the town, the house is a brick and wood structure, and there are a few plots of land at the door where some grain is grown.

"When I'm out there, my wife is working on the ground. There's no way, there are three daughters at home, five mouths together, and if you don't grow some food, you'll have to go hungry. ”

Bringing Ding Xiu and Xiaomi to the door, Li Xiong introduced the situation at home to the two.

"There's a bit of chaos at home, don't blame, don't blame." He pushed open the door and ushered the guests into the house. When the youngest daughter Li Qin saw her father coming back, she rushed out of the inner room with cheers and hugged his waist.

"Daddy, Daddy~"

"Qin'er, I've brought you a friend back, you get to know each other and play together." Li Xiong picked up his daughter and spun around, and then introduced Xiaomi to her: "This is Xiaomi, about the same age as you." ”

"My little daughter, Li Qin." As he spoke, he pointed to his daughter again.

"Hello, I'm Xiaomi, and this is my uncle Ding Xiu." Xiaomi generously went up to hold Li Qin's hand, and gave her some of the candy he had loaded back from the car repair shop.

"Dad, you can eat one too." Li Qin loved her father very much, and after taking the candy from millet, she peeled off the first one and handed it to her father's mouth.

"Dad has eaten, you can eat, thank you." Li Xiong touched her head.

"The eldest girl and the second girl are helping out in the tailor shop in town, and this will not be done yet." He said to Ding Xiu, and then called his wife Liu Qin to cook.

Li Qin took millet to the outside of the house, the two said that they were going to catch insects to play, Li Xiong looked at the backs of the two little dolls, and his expression was very peaceful.

The family's conditions seem to be quite tight, and of the three children, two of the eldest are already struggling to make ends meet, and the youngest is not going to school when he is old enough to go to school.

Seeing Ding Xiu take a few glances at his house, Li Xiong said with a slight apology on his face: "Don't be surprised, brother, this condition is at home, only blame me for having no other skills except being a soldier, I have a gun in my hand to hunt, protect my family, and make money, I can't turn my brain." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his wife Liu Qin looking at him with a sad face, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There is no meat left in the house, and there is only one egg left." Liu Qin said.

"No meat? Why is there only one egg left? What about those two guests? Li Xiong was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened.

Liu Qin's voice was much quieter, and she glanced at Ding Xiu with apologetic eyes, and said: "The family has no money, so I will take the little game you hunted back to the 'High Roller' in Zhenxi for some money, and the eggs are almost all sold, so I left one for Qin'er, she is now growing ......."

"Money money money, money knows money!" Li Xiong was a little angry. He took guests home, but he couldn't entertain them, which made him feel like he had lost face.

"Qin'er is past the age of going to school, if she doesn't change some money to pay her tuition, will she be wild all day long like the two big ones before? The eldest and second are uneducated, they can only help in the tailor shop and get the lowest salary, Gary is no longer a scholar, when will he see hope......" Liu Qin began to wipe her tears as she spoke, she didn't know who to talk about the grievances in her heart, and now after being scolded by her husband, she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Didn't I just take over the mayor's job today?" Li Xiong couldn't understand his wife's grievances, but he was depressed in his heart, "You see that now that the guests come to the door, do you want to entertain them with the northwest wind?" ”

"How do I know you're bringing guests back today?" Liu Qin retorted, and Li Xiong stood up angrily, slapped his face, and was about to fan it.

"Brother Xiong!" Ding Xiu grabbed his hand, then turned his head and persuaded Liu Qin: "Sister-in-law, you go back to the room first to dissipate your anger, I really can't complain about you, I came to the door abruptly." ”

"This woman, hum...... I have said many times that we are poor, but we must not lack courtesy at any time, and this kind of hospitality is to make friends with sincerity. Liu Qin had been persuaded back to the room by Ding Xiu, and Li Xiong was still chattering, if it weren't for the others being pulled by Ding Xiu, the two of them would be afraid to fight.

"Brother Xiong, you are also angry, sister-in-law, she is not thinking about her daughter." After Ding Xiu persuaded Liu Qin, he began to persuade Li Xiong.

"Alas......" Li Xiong sighed, thought about it and planned to go out again, "I'll go to the market in the town to get some meat and vegetables on credit, brother, you can sit here for a while." ”

"Just go with the changes at noon." Ding Xiu grabbed him and said, then patted his head again, as if he remembered something: "I still have something left in the car repair shop, I'll go and go back." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Li Xiong to speak, and he was already walking outside.

After a while, Ding Xiu came back in the car, and when he got out of the car, he had a lot of food in his hands.

"Brother, what are you ......" Li Xiong couldn't help but be stunned for a while when he saw Ding Xiu coming back with a lot of vegetables and meat.

"I went to pick up something and bought some food on the way. The little ones are all growing up, and we adults can be wronged, but they can't be wronged. Ding Xiu smiled, took the vegetables and meat into the kitchen, and handed them to Liu Qin.

"How can I let you buy groceries!" Liu Qin was a little embarrassed to pick it up, and in the end, Ding Xiu forced it into her hand.

"Sister-in-law, go cook, we're all hungry." Ding Xiu smiled and touched his stomach, rounding Liu Qin's embarrassment.

He and Li Xiong chatted about the town again, and when Liu Qin served the prepared meal, he called back the two girls who were playing outside the house.

"Don't you wait for your eldest girl and second girl?" Seeing that Li Xiong had set up the dishes and chopsticks and began to beckon himself to eat, Ding Xiu hesitated for a moment and did not move the chopsticks.

"They usually eat at the store at noon, so that the family can save a meal." Liu Qin said.

"Eat, eat, or the food will be cold." Li Xiong raised his chopsticks to signal, and he saw his youngest daughter Li Qin staring straight at the plate of meat in front of Ding Xiu, so he took a piece and put it in her bowl.

Li Qin killed the piece of meat in three times and divided it by two, looked at the plate and said, "Dad, I still want it." ”

"You're so gluttonous, you eat all the meat, what do the guests eat?" Li Xiong glared at her, and after the training, he took another piece and handed it to her.

"Let the children eat a little more, they have to grow their bodies." Ding Xiu said and changed the plate of meat to Li Qin's face.

Li Qin was able to clip it now, "Sister, you can eat it too." She immediately clipped a piece to Millet.

After the two little girls got acquainted, their relationship was very good. Xiaomi used to grow up in a lonely environment, but her personality is not introverted, on the contrary, she wants to make more friends.

Everyone in the house eats and drinks like a family, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
