Li Xin held the plate with one hand, and stuffed the cake into his mouth with the other: "Sister doesn't eat it, it's a pity, it tastes good, by the way, sister, I'll take Xiaobao to catch some chickens and ducklings to raise, and raise them in the original elk shed, sister, do you guess they will die this time?" ”

Xiu Hanxi smiled with a pale face: "Probably not." ”

"I don't think it will, after all, it's a worthless thing, the elk is a valuable thing, I originally wanted to wait for the elk to grow horns once every two years, sell it for some silver, and make a fortune and become well-off." After Li Xin finished speaking, he didn't look at Xiu Hanxi's palette-like face, and shouted that Xiaobao would take a bamboo cage and go to the east entrance of the village to buy chicks.

As soon as Xiaobao heard that Li Xin really wanted to buy chicks for himself, he had already carried the cage containing the chicks in his hand, so he sent Li Xin's words.

Li Xin walked to Xiu Hanxi's side, and said in her ear: "Sister, rest assured, Xiaobao and I will not come back for a while, my room is not locked, my sister can do whatever she wants, it won't be so easy after today, I asked Uncle Shi to bring me a few locks in the town this morning." ”

"Come, Xiaobao has caught the chicks." Saying that, Li Xin took Xiaobao's hand and walked forward, "Xiaobao, you have grown some meat recently, and you will eat more in the future." Li Xin touched the flesh on the back of Xiaobao's hand and said.

"That's a delicious meal cooked by my sister-in-law." Xiaobao often spares no effort to praise Li Xin.

Of course, Li Xin was very useful, and immediately, he didn't know that he bent down to carry Xiaobao in the southeast and northwest.

Xiaobao said happily on Li Xin's back: "Sister-in-law, wherever you go in the future, I will follow you, okay?" I decided to abandon my brother. ”

"Why did you choose me and abandon your brother?" Although it is not the first time that Xiaobao has said this to himself, Xiaobao's tone this time is very firm, not like the unreasonable trouble of children eating candy. Li Xin was curious about Xiaobao's change, was it really because of Xiu Hanxi's sudden appearance? Don't they all say that children's preferences are the most direct?

"Because there are all kinds of delicious food with my sister-in-law, and with my brother, he either goes into the mountains or has a cold face, for my own happiness in the future, Xiaobao decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, didn't my sister-in-law tell Xiaobao before, people want to live happily by themselves, and they are considering the feelings of other people's hypocrisy." Xiaobao lay on Li Xin's back, smelling her hair, looking like a little adult.

"Sister-in-law, what do you use to wash your hair? Why does it smell so sweet? Like a floral scent. Xiaobao asked.

"It's the fragrance of flowers, this is your super invincible, capable sister-in-law figured out to wash her hair and wipe her face, and then my sister-in-law will improve it to see if it can solve the problem of storage, if it can, we will rely on it to make a fortune in the future." Li Xin said bold words, the dream still has to be had, what if it comes true, so Li Xin decided to set a small goal for himself first, such as earning her one first, and then talking about 100 million.

Li Xin suddenly remembered Gang Xiaobao's words, and quickly retorted: "What my sister-in-law said to you is, you must respect your heart when you do something, if you feel too embarrassed, don't help, but we have to work hard to run towards our dreams." ”

Although Xiaobao doesn't understand what Li Xin said, Xiaobao has already made up his mind, Li Xin will cook all kinds of delicious food, and he will definitely not lose himself, he is growing his body, he must be full and warm, so there must be nothing wrong with following Li Xin, and Li Xin loves to laugh better than her brother, can cook better than Sister Hanxi, and is better than her to herself.

As for his brother, he will come to see him when he is free in the future, as for that sister Hanxi, Xiaobao thought about it, it's better not to see it, anyway, it seems that she doesn't like her very much.

Li Xin arrived at the east entrance of the village and asked, "Is Xiaobao selling chicken seedlings from this house?" ”

Xiaobao looked at the chickens and ducklings in the yard walking around, nodded excitedly and said, "Sister-in-law is this family." ”

This family may not be rich, because there are people in Fangjia Village who have a little spare money, and they have built walls, such as Lizheng's house and Dongzi's grandmother's house, only a few of them use fences to make this kind of half-meter-high fence wall, and they can see through the inside at a glance from the outside, and there is no protective effect of sheltering from the wind and rain.

Li Xin leaned half of his body into the fence wall and called loudly: "Is anyone there?" Is anyone there? ”

After a while, a trembling woman came out in her forties, dressed in her forties, and saw that she was wearing a faded blue dress full of patches, but it was still clean. Although the hair was just tied up randomly, it was all tied up, and there was no scattered cloak.

The eyes were cloudy, the face was a little gray and wrinkled, and the back was slightly hunched because of years of labor, giving people the illusion of old age.

"Auntie, I am Fang Xiaobao of Fang Rong's family, and my sister-in-law brought me to catch a few chicken seedlings." Xiaobao leaned his head and said.

After the man approached slightly, he opened the door to Li Xin and them: "The chickens and ducklings on the ground have been for thirty days, you can pick and choose, five cents a piece." ”

Li Xin asked Xiaobao to pick out the chicks, and took a look at the yard by himself, even the room and the outside door were blocked by bamboo curtains, and it was okay now, but it was not cold in winter.

"Auntie, are you alone at home?"

"Originally, I also had a son and a daughter-in-law, but my daughter-in-law disliked my family and ran away with my son." The woman said lightly, as if to say what the weather was like tomorrow, Li Xin couldn't hear any emotion at all, maybe there was really a kind of helplessness, calling to stop mourning more than to die.

"I heard that there is a Yipin shop in the town, collect some embroidery work, don't you go to sign up? It's better to do something to subsidize the family or something. Li Xin asked tentatively.

"That's all delicate work, in the past, my son and daughter-in-law left me and ran away, I couldn't figure it out alone, my eyes were crying blind, and I couldn't see things far away, so I could only raise these chickens and ducks or something, and there was not so much food for them to eat, so I sold some seedlings."

After Xiaobao grabbed four chickens and four ducklings, Li Xin counted the copper plates to the woman, only to see her carefully take out a handkerchief full of fine holes and wrap it and said: "It's rare that you bought so many and it's not priced, I'll give you one more." ”

Xiaobao was very happy to hear it and wanted to catch another one, Li Xin grabbed Xiaobao and said, "Enough, eight is good to hear." Xiaobao looked at the chicks in his cage and nodded, "Thank you, auntie, my sister-in-law said that eight is very good." ”

After coming out of the courtyard, Li Xin took Xiaobao to the place where the private school was built, and Wang Mingmin saw Li Xinlai and walked over after resting his work.

At a glance, he saw the chicken seedlings in Xiaobao's cage and said: "Big sister, you are really used to Xiaobao, you said yesterday to buy chicken seedlings for them, and today you will buy them." ”

"It's okay, it's not worth a few dollars, and the child is happy, and when the time comes, I can raise some at home, and I can also let Xiaobao eat fresh eggs every day, I just forgot, I should buy a few mothers who are about to lay eggs, in this way, lay eggs faster, I'm an acute child." I see that there are also some in the yard of the aunt, and the price is more expensive, so I'll go back and have a few later. ”
