"Our father and mother didn't take care of you all early, I didn't take good care of the two of you, I didn't protect you, especially Airong, I heard someone tell me at noon, you are sick and dying, the Mei family is going to throw you out, I am ......scared in my heart" Li Zhongquan said softly, and there was sentimentality in his voice, and the eyes of the seven-foot man were all red.

Sister Qiu smiled on the side and said, "Where didn't my uncle protect us?" As soon as you appeared when the family was separated, my second uncle didn't dare to make it difficult for us! If it weren't for you and your aunt, we wouldn't have come for a hundred pounds of millet noodles and two dollars! She can quite understand what her uncle is doing, if her uncle is like her own father, no matter what her relatives are, they are all desperate to stand in the way, and they hate to dedicate everything they have to their relatives, which is called stupidity. Taking care of one's own home is the first priority, and only when you have spare energy can you take care of other relatives.

"Huh!" Li Zhongquan sighed and wiped his eyes, "Now there is no one else, in front of Sister Qiu, I will say something from my heart." When you just came out of the cabinet for a few years, I didn't feel at ease with your sister, I came to Mei's house every two months to take a look, Sister Qiu and her father have always looked down on me as a petty businessman, and I thought I had lost the face of his scholar. Now think about it, what is it to be coldly watched by them, as long as you can live a little better. ”

Li Ailian also sighed and followed, "I agree with this, back then, Sister Qiu and her father didn't look down on my family, thinking that he was a big car to do business, Shinong businessman, he is the most high-class taxi, we are the most inferior businessman, so his old Mei family is noble?" We're all lowly? I didn't expect to come to Mei's house to see him roll his eyes. ”

Sister Qiu was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she didn't expect her old father to be like this in addition to the superb characteristics of the phoenix man...... I feel good about myself, and I really don't know what to say.

"Aunt and uncle, don't take my father's words to the table." Sister Qiu said softly, "You rely on your own palms and your own ability to earn money to eat, and support your family, where your two families live a better life than our family, what can my father be a noble scholar?" What is he capable of making my life like this with my mother? I don't think he's as good as you. ”

Jia Shi turned around and wiped her eyes back, why didn't she know why her brother and eldest sister were not happy to come to Mei's house to visit her? It's not Mei Laoxiu who looks down on them and always gives them a cold face.

"Don't talk nonsense." Jia Shi coughed twice, and finally found his own voice, "He is your father, everyone can talk about him, you can't." ”

Sister Qiu smiled, and a pair of lovely pear vortices were displayed on the white small noodle plate under the oil lamp, "It's because he is my father, he made a mistake, mine told him, otherwise outsiders would have to tell him?" ”

Looking at the eccentric daughter, Jia Shi was reluctant to scold, smiled and shook his head, "You can speak...... When you left your house, you and your second uncle carried it, and I was afraid of all the words you scolded. At that time, she couldn't move, I was really afraid that Second Uncle Mei would beat Sister Qiu.

"That's not home anymore." Sister Qiu concentrated on correcting the mistake in Jia's words, "This is our home." Second uncle, does he look like an elder? Do elders have to search the bodies of their sisters-in-law and nieces? Let's take advantage of it, if he wants to fight, he will oppress people, most of our Xiaohe Town are all kind-hearted people, and if they recognize who he is, they will not be with him. Mother, haven't you seen so many people helping us at noon, justice is in the hearts of the people. ”

Li Zhongquan smiled and patted Sister Qiu's shoulder, and praised Jia's family: "Sister Qiu is a sensible Nizi, she was very timid when she was a child, and she didn't dare to say anything when she saw people, I was afraid that this Nizi's temper would follow you, and she would be wronged in the future, and now I feel at ease when I look at her like this." ”

"It's up to me!" Li Ailian said with a smile.

In the evening, Li Zhongquan put together a few pestles in the hall, laid a mattress on the top as a kang, and Li Ailian, Jia and Sister Qiu slept on the kang in the inner room.

Sister Qiu slept between the two, and whispered to Jia Shi with a smile: "Mother, it would be good if you were like the eldest aunt." ”

Hearing this, Jia Shi froze for a moment, "What? ”

"If you are as powerful as the eldest aunt, ensure that my mother and second aunt dare not bully you, and if they dare to say something unpleasant, you can scold you tenfold!" Sister Qiu said with a smile.

Jia Shi glanced at the eldest sister who was smiling on the side, and said in a sneering voice: "I also want to, but I can't learn it." "She is not a vulgar person by nature, and the little temperament that Lao Xiucai struggled with the Mao family is gone, and if she has no children, she has no confidence, and she can't be as vulgar and spicy as Li Ailian.

"Your mother pees for us to protect, where does she need to learn this." Li Ailian smiled and said, "Sister Qiu can't be like your mother, it's good for the girl's family to be vulgar and spicy, and she won't be oppressed in the future." Eh, as soon as I talk about this, I worry about you Sister Xiuyu, who has a soft temper and is like your mother. ”

Jia Shi smiled and said: "What are you worried about, Xiuyu is a good-natured child, you can find a good husband for her in the future, what are you afraid of?" ”

Li Ailian hugged Sister Qiu and said with a smile: "If it weren't for how old Sister Qiu was when Xiuyu wasn't Xiuyu, I would all suspect that the daughters of our sisters were confused, Sister Qiu, this Nizi follows my temper, and Xiuyu Nizi follows your temper!" ”

There is a way to be a play for a woman, and she couldn't finish talking when she got together, and the servants were in a new environment, and they couldn't sleep, Sister Qiu listened to Jia's talk to her aunt about the previous things, but in addition to having a further understanding of the Mei family and her father's superb degree, she also learned a lot about the customs and customs of this society.

However, Sister Qiu's body was too young to bear the sleepiness, and when Jia Shi was talking to her aunt, she couldn't open her eyes in a daze. The two saw that Sister Qiu was asleep, and hurriedly lowered the sound.

Before Sister Qiu fell asleep, she listened to her aunt ask softly, "Airong, do you have any plans for the future?" ”

"What kind of plan is it, bring up Sister Qiu safely and steadily, and find a good husband for her, I will be content in my heart." Jia sighed softly.

Li Ailian's disapproving preached: "You are still young, only in your early thirties, and you can keep him for a year." Your orphans and widows are an independent portal, how difficult! ”

"Sister, I didn't think about it......" Jia Shi hurriedly stopped Li Ailian's words, and said in a low voice: "I'm leaving, what should I do?" Who is willing to raise a daughter for someone else? ”

In these years, there are not a few widows' families who remarry, and the social atmosphere is not against widows' families remarrying, but there are very few widows' families who remarry with children.

It's easy to get out of the Mei family, which eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and the Jia family is not happy to ask Sister Qiu to be wronged again, but if she takes Sister Qiu to marry, eats other people's lives and lives in other people's houses, and has bad people, wouldn't life be as bad as the Mei family!

"Huh." Li Ailian sighed, she is also a mother, that is, she wants her to remarry, she is also unhappy, afraid that the two children will be wronged, but she is different from Jia's situation, she has a son, when her son marries, the family can rely on her son to support it, Jia's only one daughter, Sister Qiu, in the future, when Sister Qiu comes out of the cabinet, she will be a real loner.

"Let's give Sister Qiu a face." Li Ailian whispered, "Sister Qiu, this girl looks good, and she is quick and capable, I see that she is better than all the male babies." ”

Sister Qiu listened dizzily, she wanted to laugh but was sleepy and tired and couldn't laugh, she was only 10 years old, and she had to worry about the people around her countless times in her life. In fact, it is also good to recruit money, but very few people in the ancients were willing to be the son-in-law......

Before falling asleep, Sister Qiu listened to Jia Shi say a few words with a smile, but she didn't hear what she said clearly.

Early the next morning, Li Zhongquan and Li Ailian left, Li Zhongquan was busy with the idea of the store, and Li Ailian's family had Zhang Yunhuai and Zhang Xiuyu brothers and sisters, Li Ailian was worried about her own pair of children, and did not stay in Sister Qiu's house for two more days.

It was also a coincidence, it rained for several days, and the next morning after Sister Qiu and Jia's moved into their new home, it was clear, and the two walked to the courtyard, and they saw the long-lost golden sunlight sprinkled all over the earth, which made people feel indescribably comfortable.

"Look, God is all happy for us!" Sister Qiu said with a smile.

Sister Qiu and Jia's got up first to heat up the leftovers from last night, and after eating, they listened to Lin Zhun calling the door by the door, saying that Uncle Fang had brought someone to dig the well. Sister Qiu hurriedly pushed Jia Shi to lie down on the kang and ran to open the door by herself.

The donkey's father led an 18-year-old offspring to wait by the door, looking at Sister Qiu and still a little embarrassed.

Sister Qiu first waved at the donkey's father, and said with a smile: "I'm here to thank Uncle Fang first." ”

"Thank you? It's all the folks in the township, and it's a matter of raising your palm! The donkey's father was a little embarrassed, and touched the back of his head, if it weren't for Sister Qiu, the donkey's grave would all be grassy, where can this friendship be repaid with two dollars, and his own mothers and relatives have done stupid things again, making him feel even more guilty about Jia and Sister Qiu.

Lin Zhun stood aside, smiled at Sister Qiu, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

The golden sunlight shone on Lin Zhunjunxiu's face, and a pair of slightly narrow eyes glowed with soft light, Sister Qiu's heart jumped violently, and she hurriedly removed her eyes, and said: "Sleep well, there are no mosquitoes in the house." ”

While speaking, the donkey's father had already led the offspring into the courtyard, and both of them were carrying a thick straw rope as thick as a child's arm.
