Chapter 24 Repairing the House
Xia He went to Aunt Zhang's house and came out, Liu Li found trouble with Xia He and asked Xia He to hand over the money he sold that year.
Just when Xia He couldn't get out, the old owner of Liu came out to relieve the siege and gave Liu Li a few downs.
Liu Li took a bite back: "She Xia He saw me like she didn't see me, I'm also her mother-in-law!" ”
The onlookers said word by word: "You can pull it, you still admit that you are Xia He's mother-in-law, how do you treat others, how did Xia He move out of your house?" ”
Someone pulled Xia He and told her, "Let's go, hard boy!" Xia He lowered his head and ran out of the crowd with teary eyes.
Liu Zhuang said to everyone: "Xia He, this child is good, since the death of Shunzi, leading everyone up the mountain to dig medicinal materials, leading the villagers to earn money, it is indeed amazing, in the future, we must learn from Xia He!" ”
The people on the village all applauded in unison, applauding for Xia He, and applauding for the old owner to speak fairly for Xia He's relief.
Liu Li stood aside, and the old owner waved his hand and said, "Let's all go back." After saying that, he separated from the crowd and left first.
The people gradually dispersed, and Qiaofeng took her mother's hand: "Mother, go home, don't stand here." ”
was reprimanded by the old owner, and he was already unhappy, coupled with the people in the village pointing fingers, Liu Li was going crazy with anger: "Don't pull me, you don't help me talk, you know that it's not me!" ”
Angrily shook off Qiaofeng's hand and walked to the yard, Qiaofeng silently followed behind her mother.
While walking, Liu Li scolded: "Little slut, don't think that the old owner will be fine if he comes forward to speak for you, this matter is not over!" We'll see! ”
Qiao Feng sighed in her heart: Hey! When will this mother change her temper?
Xia He wiped his tears as he walked, thinking about why he was reborn with such an identity? Even if he is reborn in a family with better conditions, it is stronger than now, and he is like this, Liu Li still holds on to himself. Thanks to the old owner, he was able to break the siege today, and there are still a lot of good people to think about it!
When I got home, I wiped my face, and I was tired after a day of walking, so I lit a fire and went to bed.
At this time, the little flower cat meekly came over and snuggled in his arms and squinted, and the big yellow dog lay on the rabbit cage in the eaves and dozed off.
Xia He took out the rattle that Brother Shi bought for the child, played with it in his hand, and was very grateful to this rough Brother Shi, Brother Shi is almost thirty, and no girl is willing to marry him because of the poverty of his family. I thought: I, Xia He, must find a way to get rich, so that all the families including Mrs. Zhang will become rich, and let the older young people like Brother Shi in the village start a family.
Thinking about it, I gradually fell asleep.
The next day, the sun rose warmly, Xia He got up, and it was the first time in these years that he got up so late.
Since I was a child, I got up early in the Liu family, and I was busy serving the daily life and diet of a large family, and today I finally don't have to worry about it so much, and I think it's really liberating. Yesterday, I earned some money, which was enough for my immediate needs.
Thinking of this, my mood naturally gets better, get up, clean up and cook.
During the meal, looking at the dishes that Qiaofeng stole over, Xia He felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and his resentment towards Qiaofeng's mother Liu Li also disappeared, after all, he raised a good girl and gave him a good husband.
Shaking his head, Xia He persuaded himself not to think about her anymore and to eat quickly.
Before he finished eating, he heard the big yellow dog barking, Xia He got up and looked outside, and Liu Feng walked here with a burden.
As he walked, he shouted at the big yellow dog: "Still barking, you still don't know me after so many times?" Hearing the familiar sound, the big yellow dog wagged his tail and stopped barking.
Xia He put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out, looking at Liu Feng coming over, he felt very cordial and warm in his heart, so he asked with a smile: "What are you carrying the burden today?" Do you still have to go up the mountain? ”
Liu Feng walked closer, took down the flat pole, put the two buckets aside, and asked Xia He, "Have you finished eating?" ”
"Well, just finished eating. Why are you going? Xia He asked.
"I'm here to repair your house today, while it's not cold now, and when it's cold in the future, you won't be able to repair the house." Liu Feng looked at Xia He's bulging belly and said.
Liu Feng lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "Xia He really appreciates everything you have done for me, and I am also happy that Junzi can have a brother like you!" ”
Liu Feng was embarrassed by Xia He's praise, and hurriedly said: "This is nothing, as long as you are better!" ”
After that, pick up the head and dig the soil, and keep your head down and get to work.
Xia He was helping to mow the grass and deliver water on the side, and he was very busy. In the morning, the four walls of the house were completed, and in the afternoon, I was ready to go to the house to repair the leaky roof.
At noon, Xia He cooked two dishes, bought some wine, and the two of them ate.
Looking at Xia He's busy appearance, Liu Feng also felt the warmth of home, and thought: It would be really good if the two of them lived a warm life like this.
Thinking of this, he put a piece of meat in the bowl and gave it to Xia He: "You eat more meat, children can't lack nutrition, I didn't know that you were in such a situation before, if I knew this, I would have cared about you earlier, and as long as I Liu Feng lived for one day in the future, you Xia He would not be tired." After speaking, he looked at Xia He's slightly red face lovingly.
Xia He lowered his head and ate the meat that Liu Feng had sandwiched, and said in a low voice: "You also eat more, you have to go to the room to work in the afternoon, the work is very tiring!" Thank you, Xia He, you are all so kind to me, I will repay you in the future! ”
After eating, Liu Feng didn't rest, and found a ladder to go up to the house to fill the holes in the roof little by little, Xia He held the ladder below, while handing the grass to Liu Feng.
In this way, the two of them worked hard for a day, and finally the roof was repaired when it was almost dark, and looking at the fruits of their labor, Liu Feng went down the ladder.
Xia He hurriedly boiled water, poured water for Liu Feng to wash his face and hands, and went to cook by himself.
After Liu Feng finished washing, he saw that Xia He was busy and said: "Xia He, don't be busy, I've been out for a day, and I'm going home early, my mother will wait for me to go home for dinner." ”
Xia He saw that he couldn't keep Liu Feng, and hurriedly said: "Okay, you should pay attention to safety when you go back and forth, and guard against the two people of the Liu family." ”
"Don't worry, you should rest early!" After finishing speaking, he packed up the bucket he brought and walked to the village.
Xia He cleaned up the front and back of the thatched house, looked at his small courtyard, not to mention how happy he was, finally his small home was perfect, he had a place to live, and it couldn't be cold in winter.
Thinking about Liu Feng's kindness to himself, his heart is no longer so empty.
It was still early, and Xia He did the work that he hadn't done before.
Looking at the front and back yards of my house, I thought that if I planted vegetables and sold them in the town, I would definitely be able to do it.
Xia He suddenly thought that he saw someone selling spinach in the town that day, and Xia He thought that if this land was planted with spinach, it would take a lot of harvest.
Thinking that he was more energetic, he stepped up his work.
