Xia He took his things and walked out of Liu's house through the back door.

I wiped my tears as I walked, and my mood was at its peak.

hated the Liu family so much, I originally thought that my sister-in-law Qiaofeng was a good person, but how to explain what happened yesterday?

As soon as Xia He walked out of Liu's house, he met his neighbor Aunt Zhang coming out of the house. Seeing Xia He holding the quilt and carrying a yellow cloth bag, he stepped forward and asked with concern, "Girl, where are you going?" Why did the Liu family bully you again? ”

Looking at Aunt Zhang, Xia He's uncontrollable tears flowed out instantly. Nodding his head vigorously, trying to control his tears.

There is no need to ask anything, Aunt Zhang looked at the five handprints on Xia He's face, and knew that Xia He was beaten by the Liu family again.

"Hey! Poor kid! Where are you going? No, bear with it any longer! After all, it's your own now, unlike Junko's time to live. Aunt Zhang shook her head again and again and persuaded.

Xia He stopped her tears at this time and said to Aunt Zhang: "Auntie, his Liu family deceives people too much, I will never go back." For so many years, I have served them as a cow and a horse, but what about me? Speaking of this, the corners of Xia He's mouth were holding back and she was about to cry again.

"In the past, there were Shunzi who cared about their big brother's face, but now that Shunzi is gone, I am not even as good as a subordinate, and I have to beat and scold all day long. I've had enough of being angry, and I'm sure I'll be fine on my own. I know that the eldest mother is really good to Xia He, thank you for taking care of me over the years, the eldest mother doesn't have to worry about it! After speaking, Xia He knelt at the feet of Aunt Zhang and kowtowed twice.

Shocked that Aunt Zhang was at a loss, she hurriedly helped Xia He up tremblingly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Hard-working child, you are a woman's family, where are you going to live when you come out alone?" Why don't you go back to your parents' house for a few days and then make plans, although your mother's family is not rich, but at least you can have something to eat, and you won't be afraid to sleep at night. ”

It's better not to mention my mother's family, as soon as I mentioned my mother's family, Xia He was angry and hateful, and hurriedly said: "My mother's family doesn't have a place for me Xia He, I won't go, and besides, my mother-in-law is not much better than Liu's mother-in-law!" I'd better find a place for myself. ”

"Auntie, do you know whose old house in our village is unoccupied? I'm trying to find a place to settle down first. Xia He asked the eldest lady while thinking.

The eldest lady thought about it and said: "I haven't heard of any idle houses, why don't you get together at the eldest lady's house first, and then make plans tomorrow." ”

Xia He shook his head again and again and said, "That's so troublesome, auntie, you still have a son at home, and it's not convenient." ”

"Otherwise, auntie, I'll put my things at your house first, I'll look for them, and I'll pick them up when I come back." Xia He looked at Aunt Zhang and asked for advice.

"If you insist on living by yourself, I have no choice but to do this." Saying that, Xia He dragged the quilt and the cat together and put them at Aunt Zhang's house.

Now Xia He doesn't have the sad heart just now, but is in a much better mood, thinking that he has finally got rid of the Liu family, and the road will be brighter and brighter from now on.

led the big yellow dog around Liujiazhuang a few times, but did not find an empty house. I couldn't help but feel a sinking in my heart, looking at the sun slanting westward, about to set, I haven't landed yet, and I am anxious.

Suddenly, Xia He remembered that when he went up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs, he saw a very small house at the bottom of the mountain, which was very close to the village, just across a small river, which was an empty house abandoned by hunters. Thinking of this, his mood suddenly brightened, and he happily ran down the back mountain, followed by the big yellow dog.

Excitedly coming to the foot of the back mountain, Xia He came to the house abandoned by the hunter, walked around twice, and saw that the dilapidated house was exposed to the wind on all sides, and it had not been repaired for many years, but there was a lot of firewood piled up on the side of the thatched house, which made Xia He very happy.

When I entered the thatched house, I found that it was okay, better than the Liu family's firewood house.

There is a small kang against the east wall, and the kang is also covered with a soft straw mat. There is a section of earth wall plastered at the north end of the kang, and the pot stove brain is at the north end of the kang, which looks very neat. In the middle of the room was a rough square table made of wood, with two wooden chairs on either side of the table, and a kettle and two bowls on the table. There was also a forked water tank by the door, and a wooden board was placed horizontally on top of the water tank, and a broken water scoop with a notch was placed on the board. There was a broken wooden basin on the ground next to the water tank. The sun is setting in the west, and the sunlight spilling into a room through the window feels warm.

Looking up at the roof again, there are many bright spots, Xia He thinks that if it rains, this house will leak. Thanks to the rainy season now, it still needs to be repaired, and late autumn is coming soon, so it will be very cold here if you don't repair it.

Anyway, Xia He is still very happy, at least the place to live has been solved, and the days ahead will slowly get better. The big yellow dog sniffed around, looking very happy with the new home.

Xia He wants to live here tonight, and this will be his new home in the future, so I'm happy to think about it!

Pull out the weeds in front of the house and behind the house and put them aside, find a handful of soil in front of the house, get some soil and put it on the water and mud, and put the mud on the windy wall outside.

Before he knew it, it was already sunset, and Xia He was already tired and sweating, panting, touching his stomach and looking at the fruits of his labor that had been completed, Xia He nodded with satisfaction.

After washing his hands, Xia He hurried to Aunt Zhang's house briskly, took his things, and went straight to his new home at the foot of the mountain with the little flower cat in his arms.

Cross the creek and come to a new home.

Xia He broke some branches outside and tied them up with artemisia grass, and began to clean the room, sweeping off the strings of cobwebs from the roof to the ground, sweeping the dust in the house, bringing water and wiping the house clean with the rags discarded in the house, and then throwing his rabbit skin on the kang and putting the quilt aside. Put the bronze mirror on the table, and wash the kettle and bowl on the table.

Looking at the new home that he had tidied up with his own hands, Xia He had a satisfied smile on his face.

After a busy afternoon, I finally found a new home of my own.

Picked up some firewood and grass and started to burn the fire, there was no rice and flour oil, Xia He thought it would be good to boil some water to drink, and even burned the kang.

Drinking warm water, Xia He was very satisfied, it was dark outside, Xia He forked the doors and windows of the house, quietly enjoying the tranquility of his small home.

This night, Xia He listened to the whirring mountain wind, Xia He slept very soundly, and no one disturbed his dreams.

The next day, Xia He got up early, washed his face and brushed his teeth, for there was no toothpaste and toothbrush here, Xia He was also used to brushing his teeth with willow leaves. After tidying up everything, Xia He closed the door and took the big yellow dog into the mountain with his head, Xia He thought yesterday that he would go into the mountain to dig medicinal materials to exchange for some silver, to solve the current problem. Moreover, there are wild fruits on the mountain at this time to satisfy hunger.

Today is also very smooth, Xia He along the mountain road, has been going inside, soon to see a piece of keel seedlings, here in the morning, Xia He dug a whole large bundle of keel, carrying the head Xia He happily to go home, on the way to meet a tree of wild fruit, Xia He did not sit down to eat this time, filled the yellow cloth pocket, along the mountain road home.

Back at home, Xia He removed the medicinal soil, cleaned it up, and sat down to eat some wild fruits. Touching the big yellow dog, he said: "Rhubarb takes good care of the house at home, and I will go to the town to sell the medicinal herbs for some food." ”

The big yellow dog obediently watched Xia He carry the medicinal herbs on his back and walked along the road at the foot of the mountain to the town.
