Chapter 35 Seeing a doctor
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little different, looking at the extremely serious Lu Li, Su Xiaoman swallowed nervously, and asked cautiously, "They don't really want to find someone to arrest me, right?" ”
It's been so long, why did Li Shu suddenly remember this stubble again, besides, Li Xin's child was accidentally lost by herself, and it had nothing to do with Su Xiaoman.
Lu Li didn't know much about this, he shook his head, "I don't know what Li Shu is going to do for the time being, but I heard from other people in the village that Li Shu goes to visit relatives in the city at this time of year, but he has never taken Li Xin there, so I don't know why he ...... this time."
He didn't go on, but the meaning was self-evident.
Su Xiaoman was rarely worried, she was not so scared the day she was accused by Li Shu, in case the people from the government really came, then where would she have room for defense?
The people in the village are afraid of offending Li Shu, and who is willing to take the initiative to stand up and clarify the truth for themselves?
The more he thought about it, the more scared Su Xiaoman became, sat on the chair, poured mouthfuls of cold water one after another, and was very scared.
"Lu Li," Xiao Man paused, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed and frowned.
If the people from the government really came, it would be a matter of the past two days, Xiao Man looked at the handkerchief that had not been embroidered yet, and sighed low again.
Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but hold Xiao Man's hand, and said seriously: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't let you be hurt." ”
This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Man, he will never watch Xiao Man being taken away.
Besides, Liu Zhicheng's leg was kicked by him, if the people in the government really wanted to take someone away, Lu Li would definitely stand up to protect Xiaoman, and would rather be taken away than implicate Xiaoman.
However, what Xiao Man thought in her heart was that everything was caused by herself, and if the government came, she would definitely choose Lu Li, and he would be affected.
The two thought about the same in their hearts, but neither of them said anything, for fear that the other party would not agree.
Because of Li Shu's matter, the two of them were absent-minded about what they were doing, and they finally got through to noon the next day, but they still didn't find any movement.
Su Xiaoman couldn't sit still anymore, she got up from time to time and looked out the window, as if she was waiting for someone to come and take her away.
Seeing this, Lu Li sighed, "Xiaoman, what are you doing?" ”
"No one always comes, and I'm even more panicked, and I can't embroider." Xiaoman answered truthfully, but it attracted Lu Li's laughter.
She turned to look at the man, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Lu Li held back a smile, "How do I think, you still seem to want someone to come?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a woman's laughter came from outside the door, crisp, which provoked Xiaoman to get up and look out the window again, or a few girls who had come to the house to look for Xiaoman before, were talking and laughing and walking towards Xiaoman's house.
"Sister Xiaoman, we're here to play with you, are you at home?"
didn't wait for the people who came to the official mansion, but waited for a few little girls, Su Xiaoman still had that string in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to go out and play with them.
But seeing that the girls had arrived at the door, Xiaoman couldn't hide if he wanted to, so he had to sigh and go out.
Su Xiaoman opened the door and barely squeezed out a smile, "Why are you here, have you eaten?" ”
"Sister Xiaoman, we called you several times just now, why didn't you respond, we thought you weren't at home." The girls laughed and teased.
She smiled, "Didn't hear that." ”
A few people sat on small benches in the courtyard, or discussed the rouge shop in the city, or talked about who married in the next village, laughing and laughing.
But Xiaoman pretended to be something, and he couldn't laugh anyway, very reluctantly.
"By the way, have you heard, Li Shu went to the city yesterday, and he took Li Xin and Liu Zhicheng with him!" One girl somehow talked about it.
Su Xiaoman's eyes lit up, she bit her lip and listened to the girl's narration, her heart beating faster and faster.
"I know, I know, they went to see Liu Zhicheng, and they found several doctors, and they all said that they couldn't see it, I think, Liu Zhicheng is going to limp all his life."
"Really? But Liu Zhicheng also deserves it, who made him not even manage his daughter-in-law well, do you say, Sister Xiaoman? ”
Su Xiaoman laughed twice and didn't speak.
It's just that she is more and more puzzled in her heart, Li Shuxing moved everyone to take his daughter and son-in-law to the city, and he still took such a big package, just to see a doctor?
She had something hidden in her heart, and she was not interested in participating in the discussion of these girls, but these people also found that Xiaoman was not interested, so they left without saying a word.
As soon as these people left, Su Xiaoman hurriedly ran back to the house, "Lu Li, I heard that Li Shu just went to see a doctor, not to find a county in the city!" ”
"Who did you listen to?" Lu Li was feeding the rabbits, and when he heard Xiaoman's words, he raised his head, and a pimple twisted between his eyebrows.
"Just now in the courtyard, I heard what those little girls in the village said, it shouldn't be fake, right? They also said that Liu Zhicheng's leg will not get better in this life. ”
After speaking, Su Xiaoman stepped forward and squatted down, and said easily while touching the little rabbit: "It seems that we overreacted yesterday, Li Shu knew that he was at a loss, and it was impossible for him to go to the government to complain." ”
Lu Li thought about it, looked at the woman's much more relaxed appearance, and didn't speak.
I hope that as Xiaoman said, Li Shu also feels that he is at a loss and will not come to find trouble again.
Time passed day by day, and the radishes and cabbages in the vegetable garden finally reached the time of harvest, Su Xiaoman got up early in the morning, and ran to the vegetable garden with only a coat.
Fortunately, there was no frost last night, Xiaoman took a sip, looked at the still green vegetable garden, and smiled contentedly.
The two had eaten, and Lu Li was not going out, the two worked together to collect the vegetables in the vegetable garden, and stored the radishes and white in the cellar, and the time was already noon.
"Xiaoman, the vegetables in the field are not frozen, are they?" It turned out that Su Qi came.
He was wearing a half-worn gray coarse cotton jacket, with two sleeves folded together, and walked over with a smile.
Xiao Man patted the soil on his hand and poured a cup of hot water for his father, "Lu Li and I just put it away, it's fine." By the way, Dad, why did you come up, aren't you cold? ”
Especially looking at the old cotton jacket on his father's body, Xiao Man pinched it distressedly, after wearing it for a long time, the cotton in the cotton jacket is not fluffy, and it is thin when pinched, it must no longer keep warm.
"I'm fine, I'm just here to bring you something." As he spoke, Su Qi took down the bamboo basket behind his back.
A pair of pig's trotters, an ear, and most of the pork ribs and a large piece of pork belly, these things add up to at least dozens of catties.
Xiao Man frowned, "Dad, it's good for you to keep these things for yourself, why do you need to send them?" Even if you can't finish eating, it's good for you to sell it, what to give it to us, Lu Li and I have food in stock. ”
"Father-in-law, you better take it back, eat it yourself, take it out and sell it for money, Xiaoman and I can't eat so much." Lu Li stepped forward and agreed, saying that he was going to put all the things back into the basket.
Not to mention whether Zhang Xiuqin's mother and daughter will agree with their father to bring so much meat, just talking about these things, Xiaoman and Lu Li can't eat them all, and the pigs in the village are all slaughtered at this time to sell them for money, and only keep a small part for themselves for the New Year.
Su Qi has already sent so much, where is the leftover meat to sell for money?
But Su Qi put down the basket directly, "Xiaoman, people sell meat at this time to save money for the New Year, you have given me so much silver, and I don't need to sell meat anymore." You and Lu Li can stay, if you can't finish eating, make bacon and sausages, and you can keep them for eating slowly. ”
"Daddy." Xiao Man grabbed Su Qi's hand and frowned: "You send so much meat up, Auntie and Xiao Ling-"
After all, Su Qi wants to live with Zhang Xiuqin, if he always goes against their mother and daughter for his own sake, Xiao Man will not go.
Su Qi just shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, anyway, the family has money for the New Year, Zhang Xiuqin doesn't dare to say anything." ”
Having said that, Xiaoman was still very worried, and after repeated excuses, she only accepted a small piece of pork ribs and half a piece of pork belly, and let Su Qiquan take back the rest of the meat.
Looking at Su Qi's back shrunk as he left, Xiao Man sighed distressedly, tears rolling in his eyes.
Zhang Xiuqin is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but now that it is winter, she doesn't even make a new padded jacket for her father, and the broken padded jacket on Su Qi's body doesn't know how many years she has worn it.
I was able to take care of my father before, but now that I am married to a wife, it is even difficult to see my father's face, and I don't know anything about his situation.
"Xiaoman." Lu Li noticed the strangeness of the woman, he whispered, took Xiaoman into his arms, and hugged him tightly.
Xiao Man was attached to Lu Li's arms, feeling the thick warmth coming from the man, she bit her lip and buried her face in Lu Li's chest, not wanting him to see her appearance.
The two hugged each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment, until the sky suddenly changed, and a little snow fell after a while.
"It's snowing?! Lu Li, look! Xiao Man's eyes widened in surprise, looking up at the sky, she stretched out her hand to catch the snowflakes, but as soon as the cold little snowflakes fell on her hands, they immediately turned into a small pool of water, which was still cool.
Lu Li let go of the woman with a smile and watched her bouncing around the yard, not so sad at all.
He chuckled, "Be careful, don't fall." ”
Su Xiaoman sighed softly at the sky, forget it, if you have this time to be sad and sad, it is better to measure the size of your father and make him a cotton dress as soon as possible.
By the way, there is also Lu Li, the fabric I bought last time has not been moved, and now I just have cotton to make a cotton dress for a man.
"Lu Li, let's go to the house, I'll measure the size for you, make cotton clothes as soon as possible, and save yourself from freezing." Xiao Man ran to the door to greet him, looking at Lu Li with sparkling eyes.
