It wasn't until Han Xiaoxiao got out of school that they went back with the rest of their classmates. On the way back, the two of them stomped their feet, one was blown cold by the wind, and the other was that their calves were stiff and tight after standing for too long.

Han Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Lu, and wanted to open his mouth several times to ask him what Liu Changsheng had told him, but just now there was Hu Fat'er who was not easy for her to speak. But after thinking about it, I held it back, and I endured it all afternoon anyway, and I didn't care about it.

Xiao Lu was also entangled in his heart whether he should tell Han Xiaoxiao and Liu Changsheng about the confession, if he wanted to tell her, how should he express it?

In the past, Han Xiaoxiao said a lot about the communication between the two people, he nodded and shook his head, and the other party could always guess what he meant. But after a long time, I couldn't express a lot of what I wanted to say, and I was anxious.

Thinking like this, Xiaolu felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and he had to teach Han Xiaoxiao to read and write! And everyone bullied him at school, he was a mute, and there was no way. But why do they look down on Han Xiaoxiao?! She is so capable, smart and clever, and she sings beautifully, hundreds of times better than they don't know! I must teach her to read, and then let her practice arithmetic well, and when the exam comes, those people will be scared!

Han Xiaoxiao was also muttering in her heart, she couldn't do this anymore, she wanted to know what Liu Changsheng had told Xiaolu. But how to ask? How did Xiaolu tell himself. She doesn't even recognize the title of today's text! Zhao Lihua asked her to read the first three lines of "Little Boat", and she made a big fuss! I know the word "little", or because there are two words that are written in the same way as my name. When I think about it, I feel even more ashamed. Will Xiaolu also look down on himself?

No way! She had to go back and learn to read. At least Xiao Lu wants to tell her something in the future, so that he won't be blind. That path must not be suffocated!

Thinking of this, Han Xiaoxiao suddenly stood still at the corner when she was almost home, and Xiao Lu looked at her in wonder, wondering what kind of nerves she was experiencing. After two seconds, I saw her suddenly raise her face and shout, "I want to learn the language hard!" ”

Xiaolu laughed "poof", and tears were about to be squeezed out. Don't blame him, Han Xiaoxiao's appearance of raising his head and shouting is really funny.

Han Xiaoxiao turned his head and said to him, "What are you laughing at?" I don't believe it! Joke me! ”

Xiao Lu quickly waved his hand and shook his head, pinched her face, gave her a thumbs up, and then nodded heavily.

Han Xiaoxiao smiled proudly and walked home with a high spirit.

After a while, winter will begin, and all the cabbage and turnips in the field will be picked up and piled up in the courtyard. Li Xiuhua beckoned them to move the sweet potatoes into the house, pile them by the stove, and then find a shabby quilt that other people don't want to cover it to prevent freezing.

There is no farm work down there, and generally after winter, Li Xiuhua earns a little bit of money by pasting lanterns for people. At this moment, the kang in the east room was full of lantern paper with mouse patterns scattered all over the ground. Next year is the Year of the Rat, and when the paste is good, people will come to collect it, and sell it during the small year and the Lantern Festival.

Li Xiuhua doesn't need their help for this kind of work, I'm afraid that the children won't count, and they will be frizzy and confused, and people will deduct money, and they will have to waste the pattern paper.

So after dinner, Han Xiaoxiao followed Xiaolu to learn today's text. Westinghouse didn't pull the wires, so the three of them all squeezed onto Li Xiuhua's kang, but it was warm.

Han Xiaoxiao and Xiaolu covered their legs in the quilt, and then lay on the windowsill to practice calligraphy. Li Xiuhua concentrated on pasting the lanterns, and the scene was harmonious. But the first page had not yet been written, and Li Xiuhua had just pasted two or three lanterns when she heard the sound of banging on the door in the courtyard.

"Suffered... My dad is back! Han Xiaoxiao quickly put away the textbook and pen, pulled the path and "slipped" down the kang, and ran back to the West House to hide.

Li Xiuhua didn't have time to clean up, so she hurriedly got off the kang and walked out. Limped past and just opened the door, a smell of alcohol rushed to his nose. Before she could react, Han Daguang slapped her with a "snap".

"It's a mourning star, Lao Tzu waited outside for a long time before opening, and he wanted to freeze to death?!"

Li Xiuhua didn't dare to talk back, and when she saw that he was so drunk and staggering, she hurriedly went up and held his arm.

Han Daguang shook his hand and called, "What are I doing?" Don't come out to help Lao Tzu yet! ”

Han Xiaoxiao waited for a while, but she didn't see her mother help say a few words, so she knew that she couldn't be counted on every time. Quickly pushed the path onto the kang, let him cover the quilt and pretend to be sick, and then opened the door and went out by himself.

Han Daguang saw that it was Han Xiaoxiao, and scolded: "Why is it a dead girl, what about that dumb person?" ”

Han Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and replied, "My brother is sick and just fell asleep." Dad, I'm here to help you. ”

"it, Lao Tzu came back ten times, and nine times he was sick. If you want to die, die quickly, don't eat dry rice at home! Wait for him to die, and then get a complete back! ”

Han Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to pull out her father's tongue and cut it out! But he shouted anxiously to Li Xiuhua, "Mother is stunned, my father is too drunk, don't you hurry up and help him to sleep on the kang!" ”

Han Daguang kicked her on the threshold when he heard this, "I just drink too much!" Lao Tzu drinks too much, Lao Tzu can continue to drink! ”

Han Xiaoxiao held her ribs and inhaled in pain, seeing that her mother had helped Han Daguang into the East House, she stood up little by little with her back against the door frame, and smacked hard at the door closed in the East House, and then slowly rubbed her chest and moved back in small steps.

This made Xiaolu feel distressed, and while giving her a back to smooth out, she whispered "ah, ah".

Han Xiaoxiao said: "I'm fine, don't be afraid, although the bones hurt, but it's fine for a while, it's not broken, it's strong." ”

She couldn't let Xiaolu face her father, first, he couldn't speak and easily angered Han Daguang, and second, she was afraid that he would be beaten and frightened, and then smoke epilepsy like before. So every time Han Daguang comes back, she can block it.

As soon as Li Xiuhua helped Han Daguang in, he swept the lantern paper on the kang to the ground, and the two that had just been pasted on the side of the pillow collapsed when he lay down, and slammed his neck, Han Daguang was so angry that he grabbed it and smashed it into Li Xiuhua's face.

As soon as Han Xiaoxiao felt better in her chest, she heard her mother's whimpering sound coming from the east room, and her father's donkey-like roar. She hurriedly covered Xiaolu's ears, and her hands were so tight that she couldn't see through the slightest gap.

The intense sense of humiliation hit her like a boulder on her heart, overwhelming her breathlessly. She bit her lip tightly, her chest heaving violently with rage, and her whole body trembled.

Xiao Lu was very distressed to see her appearance, and she also learned to put her hands tightly on her ears and shook her head at her.

This is not the first time, Han Daguang also came back drunk on such a dark night before. pulled Li Xiuhua's clothes in front of them, and it wasn't until Han Daguang's stinky mouth arched to her mother's chest that Li Xiuhua cried and drove them away.

It was only from that day that she understood what the howl of the animals at night meant.

Han Xiaoxiao endured as much as she could, she would never cry! Never shed a single tear because of such a brute!

The two covered each other's ears and put their heads together. Gulping in gulps, counting heartbeats. The two of them waited quietly for time to pass. It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay...

Xiaolu didn't know when he fell asleep, Han Xiaoxiao sat beside him, gently opened the curtains, and looked up at the moon in the sky. Yesterday's class said that in another week it will be the fifteenth, and it will be winter, so today's moon is only half of it, like a semicircle split straight apart, obscured by black clouds, revealing a faint light.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Han Xiaoxiao packed his schoolbag and woke up Xiaolu. Although Han Daguang usually doesn't wake up until noon, just in case, they still have to go out early.

Tiptoeing to close the courtyard door, they were truly relieved. Walking around the corner, I bumped into Hu Fat'er and his mother coming out to pour the urinal, and the Diao wife looked them up and down with a smile, and then "hummed" disdainfully before going back to the courtyard.

Han Xiaoxiao knew that the countryside was quiet at night, and the movement in her mother's house must have been heard by the neighbors. She felt Xiao Lu grasp her hand and clench it vigorously, so she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, squeezed out a stiff smile and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." After that, he walked to the school with Xiaolu, and sat on the stone platform at the door for more than half an hour before Liu Changsheng came to open the door.

Han Xiaoxiao suddenly started to work hard, shocking all the classmates in the class, and some of them didn't give up and made fun of her, but she ignored her. She followed what Xiaolu learned, and the teachers looked at it strangely.

Neither of them went home at noon, and after school in the afternoon, they hadn't eaten or drunk all day, and the two of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and Han Xiaoxiao felt that Venus was shining in front of them. Although I used to go to other people's yards to sneak up some delicious food, I didn't really feel hungry. But now that there is a path, she can't be like that anymore, first, for fear that he will look down on herself, and second, for fear of leading him badly and making others look down on him.

Liu Changsheng waited to lock the door, and found that Xiaolu and the two of them had been grinding at the school gate, and asked curiously: "Why don't you go home and grind here?"

Xiaolu lowered his head and didn't know what to do, Han Xiaoxiao could only be cheeky and said: "Teacher, my father drank too much last night, and my mother was busy serving him and cooking."

Liu Changsheng was speechless for a while, regretting that he was asking what he was doing with that mouthful! glanced at Han Lu, glanced at Han Xiaoxiao again, frowned and sighed, "Let's go."

The two glanced at each other, and then heard Liu Changsheng call them: "The two of them are waiting for the food in a daze!" Don't come with me yet. ”

Han Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and pulled the path to follow.

The reluctance to walk the path is to blame Han Daguang's bad guy! He forgot that he hadn't told Han Xiaoxiao about recognizing his relatives! What can I do?

Liu Changsheng was also reluctant, he just wanted to lead the path back to eat, and by the way, let Zhao Wenhua talk to him well, how could Han Xiaoxiao talk about it if he was on the side?

The three of them were worried together, and only Han Xiaoxiao thought about eating two more buns for a while to make up for the hunger of the day!
