Grandpa took the villagers to look for a day and did not find Zhuo Anu and Xiu'e, when he returned home, he saw Erdan sleeping on a small bed with my father, and his heart was very uncomfortable, grandpa is not the kind of person who is particularly pedantic, if Li Guozhong's death is a normal death, even if Xiu'e and Zhuo Anu are not a good match, if the two of them look at each other, he will not stop it, it is really not easy for a woman to pull a disfigured child, as my grandma said, it is not a complete family without a man to rely on at home, especially in that eraThe income from the field is the main income, and the work in the field is of course better done by men.

But Li Guozhong is a demon who has just disappeared temporarily, without He Zhenren, grandpa himself is not sure whether the three ghosts of the Li family have been reincarnated, he is afraid, he is a captain, and no one can cure the three ghosts of the Li family This is a big problem, which makes grandpa have to oppose them together.

So they eloped, Xiu'e finally couldn't hold on and left behind Li Erdan, who was destined to break his heart for him in the future, Zhuo Anu finally left the lock village, grandpa understands them, but why can't they understand grandpa?

After He Zhenren left, it seemed that everything could not be put on a normal track, and grandpa found that he couldn't deal with it when something happened, grandma advised grandpa not to think too much, maybe grandpa couldn't want to? ——In the next few days, the elopement between the widow Xiu'e and the educated youth seemed to become the focus of the news, and everywhere he went, there was a sound of discussion, Erdan was still young, he kept asking where his mother went, and his grandmother could only lie to him with tears that his mother went to the city and would be back soon.

Grandpa also thought about this question, would it be really possible for Xiu'e to be reluctant to Li Erdan and come back after a few days of walking? But a few days passed, no, and the woman seemed to have left everything behind to pursue her love.

Grandpa hasn't slept well these days, and he worries every day, worried that Li Guozhong will be angry and will come to retaliate.

Half a month after this happened, one night my grandfather was sleeping and was called up by my father, and my father said to him: "Dad, Uncle Guozhong is here." ”

My grandfather was not stunned, put on his clothes and went out, and saw Li Guozhong who was waiting at the door wearing a black robe, he had no change from before, grandpa didn't know what to say when he saw him, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Big brother, it's not easy for Xiu'e." ”

Li Guozhong nodded and said, "I'm not here to find trouble, I've been married to Xiu'e for a few years, and she doesn't know me yet?" There's no need to go, she's going to get married, how can I embarrass her? Of course, I don't deny that my dad is very angry, but it's my family business after all. ”

"Guozhong, brother, I said something that shouldn't be said, after all, your grandfather went over there, although you stayed in the yang world by mistake, Xiu'e is not wrong with a woman's house, I know that it will be easy for you to find them, but I still have to persuade them, fulfill them." Grandpa said, in fact, this is what grandpa is worried about, he is worried that Li Guozhong will retaliate against the villagers, and he is even more worried that Li Guozhong will retaliate against Xiu'e and Zhuo Anu.

elopement can only avoid grandpa's obstruction, but it is destined to not be able to avoid the three ghosts of the Li family, isn't it?

"Brother Gengchen, no, I came this time, or thank you for treating Erdan as your own, and by the way, it is also to solve the problem of Erdan, he is my child after all, although I know that you will be very good to him, but you are not rich, and to be honest, Erdan is destined to become a burden when he grows up, I don't want to trouble you too much, there is a family surnamed Zhao in Maliandian, it is a single family, his son died on the battlefield, this family is very good, if you can, pass Erdan to their family." Li Guozhong said.

"Brother Guozhong, what are you talking about? Can I drag me down with a second egg? Besides, if you succeed, you have to change your surname, and Erdan is the only bloodline of your Li family. Grandpa said.

"That's what my dad meant. Brother Gengchen, I understand my intentions, so let's do it, I always have to take care of my sister-in-law's opinion, right? Li Guozhong said.

Grandpa didn't argue anymore, Li Guozhong was a smart person, at that time, every family was not rich, my grandmother was good, and she was not bad to Erdan, but who can guarantee that she has always been good to an ugly child of someone else's family when her own family is not rich?

My grandma can say nothing for a month or a year, but in the end, she must still say it, doesn't she?

That night, Li Guozhong told his grandfather before leaving: "The jade pendant I gave you must be kept, it will be of great use in the future." ”

- The next day, grandpa went to Maliandian and found the family of the martyr, the glorious sign of the military family at the door was polished, and there was an old man in the yard watering vegetables.

This old man's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Laoshuan. used to herd cattle for the landlord's house, and then the son died on the battlefield, is a well-known good man, grandfather explained to him the intention, just simply said that Li Guozhong died, and now the daughter-in-law Xiu'e left the child and eloped with the educated youth in the village, leaving a boy, this child, the face was injured by a dog before, this is considered a broken phase, the old man is lonely here, if you don't dislike the second egg, you can give the second egg to the successor as a son and grandson.

Where will Zhao Laozhuan still dislike it? Naturally, he smiled and agreed, and after grandpa negotiated this matter, he went back to take Li Erdan.

Li Erdan lived in my house for a period of time, and he had a good relationship with my father, and at this time he was already as close as two real brothers, and the two children were teary-eyed, and my father gave Erdan his only toy, the wooden short sword made by his grandfather.

Grandpa walked in front with the second egg, and my father was in tears in the back, but he was in tears, but he couldn't keep it, and my dad at that time was gradually sensible. He knew that sending away Erdan might be a good thing for Erdan.

Erdan was very strong, holding the short sword tightly and did not speak, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, this child with half of his face looking extremely hideous finally turned around and shouted at my father who was far behind him:

Elder brother! Don't send it!

This is the first time Li Erdan has opened his mouth to call brother, he picked up Li Erdan and ran to Maliandian like crazy, he was afraid that if he hesitated so much, he would be reluctant to send away this sensible child.

When I arrived at Malian Shop, Erdan had no tears, and he had been very strong, Zhao Laozhuan liked Erdan in his heart, and felt that this child was very stable at a young age, and the ceremony of the succession was nothing more than Erdan kneeling down to give Zhao Laozhuan a cup of tea and call him Dad.

Grandpa thought that Erdan might not, he had a very straight personality, and he didn't even think that his father Li Guozhong was dead, it was difficult to call out this father, but Erdan was unexpected, and he knelt down to call his father after tea, all in one go.

Zhao Laozhuan was so old that he couldn't close his happy mouth, so he put on new clothes for Erdan on the spot and changed his name.

Zhao Laozhuan is the only family surnamed Zhao in Maliandian, he moved from another village to live in Maliandian, he said that Erdan is his son, and in the original village, Erdan should be the eighth among the brothers.

Erdan's new name is Zhao Laoba.

This matter can be solved in this way grandpa is also very gratifying, Erdan followed Zhao Laozhuan can be regarded as this poor child has a good home, anyway, grandpa knows, although Erdan's face is because his grandfather Li boldly cut down trees and died, but also because Erdan ruined himself to save my father's life, human nature is selfish, but anyway, my dad owes Li Erdan, and my family owes the Li family.

The village continued to return to peace. Grandpa thought about finding Xiu'e and Zhuo Anu to let them come back to the village, but there was no news from them, He Xiaoyu left the village two years later, leaving Grandpa with three pairs of mille-feuille shoes that he had accepted.

A stitch and a thread, all friendship.

Five years later, when my grandfather knew that a fire had buried Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Laoshuan in the fire, he took my father to Maliandian, and found two charred corpses in the ruins, but he did not find Li Erdan.

People who couldn't find him, some people persuaded grandpa that maybe the second egg was burned to ashes in this fire.

Grandpa didn't believe it, he didn't believe it because the three ghosts of the Li family would definitely not let their only bloodline die, but they couldn't find Li Erdan.

Li Erdan, no, is now the hideous-looking child of Zhao Laoba, who has mysteriously disappeared since that day.
