Chapter 15: Father and Daughter
When she got home, Ah Xing only told her father that Li Yin was fine in the Hu family, she ate well and dressed warmly, and the Hu family was also very good to her, as for some other unpleasant things, Ah Xing didn't mention a word, these fathers knew what to do besides worrying? It's better not to tell him anything, to reassure him.
Li Runfu heard the younger daughter say that the eldest daughter was well, and she was not bullied, and her hanging heart couldn't help but let go. He has been poor since he was a child, and the things in the mansion are not something he can understand, and he has also heard others talk about the darkness in the mansion and the greed of the Hu family, so he doesn't want his daughter to go to the Hu family as a concubine.
He sighed and said, "It would be nice if Ah Yin could come back and take a look...... "The concubines in this world can't go back to their parents' house casually without the permission of their mother." The real life is the husband's family, and the death is the ghost of the husband's family.
Ah Xing's father's heart: "My sister said that Mrs. Hu is very good to her, maybe she will be allowed to go back to her parents' house after a while!" ”
Li Runfu's eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good!" When he laughed, there were deep wrinkles at the corners of his mouth and eyes. made A-Xing feel sad.
Ah Xing took the ginseng chicken she brought back to the kitchen and heated it up and served it to her father. Li Runfu felt sorry for his daughter's body and had not long recovered, so he had to take care of him, asking Ah Xing to eat and replenish his body. Ah Xing repeatedly explained that she had eaten it at her sister's place, but Li Runfu still refused to enjoy this bowl of ginseng chicken alone, Ah Xing had no choice but to bring another bowl and divide half of the ginseng chicken, and Li Runfu was willing to eat the other half of the chicken.
Li Runfu took a bite, his eyes widened, and his face showed an expression of infinite amazement, "This ginseng chicken is such a delicious thing!" As he spoke, he poured a little more of the chicken in the bowl to Ah Xing, "Ah Xing, you are growing your body, eat more, this kind of good thing, daddy is a waste to eat it!" ”
Ah Xing looked at the chicken in the bowl, and looked at her father's desire to eat it but was reluctant to eat it, her heart was sour, and she secretly swore that she must let her father live a rich life.
As the days passed, Li Runfu's leg injury gradually improved, and the doctor said that there was no need to take medicine anymore, and he could go to the ground after this winter, but he couldn't work too hard. This made A-Xing's father and daughter very happy.
Li Runfu said to A-Xing: "Girl, don't be afraid, as soon as spring begins, Daddy will go to work on the dock, and Daddy will let you be like other girls, with meat to eat and flowers to wear!" ”
Ah Xing was moved in her heart, this kind of sincere fatherly love was something she had never felt in her previous life. She feels very precious and cherishes it very much.
"Daddy, you also heard the doctor say, your legs can't work, how can you still do that kind of heavy physical work?"
Li Runfu said nonchalantly: "Do you think Daddy is a weak scholar?" Daddy has been a soldier and fought, and his health is better, so you don't have to worry! ”
"No, I don't agree." Ah Xing shook her head, then raised her head and looked at her father and said hesitantly: "My sister told me that I want me to use her dowry money to buy you a car, and in the future, you will be in the city to solicit customers and make some easy money......
Originally, Ah Xing also thought that this method was very good, and Daddy only needed to wave the horsewhip on the carriage. But today she sat in the carriage twice, and when she saw the coachman rushing the carriage, she suddenly felt that there was a big problem.
The coachman pulls the reins in one hand and holds the whip in the other, and he needs to hold the reins in both hands to fully control the horse when parking, but Daddy is one-armed, can he do it?
Li Runfu listened to Ah Xing's words, pondered for a while, and said: "If a carriage is indeed more profitable than pulling goods at the dock......" He looked up at the roof, "Our house really needs to be repaired, the tiles need to be replaced, the windows need to be re-pasted, and your house needs to be re-pasted with some quilts or something, these all require a lot of money, you can't spend all your sister's money, although it costs a lot to buy a carriage, but you can make money, maybe you can earn the carriage money back soon, yes, it is indeed a good way!" Li Runfu nodded again and again.
Seeing what he said, Ah Xing couldn't bear to splash him with cold water, but she had to remind him, so she was cautious and vaguely said the doubts in her heart.
Who knew that Li Runfu didn't take her worries seriously at all, and said with a slight smile: "Girl, one of your father's arms is worth a pair of arms of ordinary people." If it's a wrist strength, there's no one around here who can compare to your daddy! He stretched out his arm in front of her, "After so many years, I have already practiced this arm, don't worry, your father will definitely be able to control the carriage!" ”
Ah Xing saw that he was full of confidence, and remembered that since he could move goods and make money before, his strength must not be bad. Skills, just learn hard. So they put their minds at ease, and the father and daughter discussed that as soon as Li Runfu's injuries were healed, they would go to the market together to buy a carriage and come back.
~~~~~~
In the alley where Ah Xing lives, there are more than a dozen families, all of which are poor families with small families, just enough to live on food and clothing. Usually everyone walks around a lot, Ah Xing just wore a period of time because she was afraid of revealing any flaws, so she didn't dare to be too close to them, and later as the neighbors often visited Li Runfu at her house, she learned a lot about them from their conversations, plus Xiaoxi's chatter love to come to her and mutter, she slowly had the confidence to interact with the neighbors. Although the neighbors felt that A-Xing had suddenly become quieter, they all thought that it was because of too many things that had happened in the family recently, which made her sensible all of a sudden, but they didn't suspect that she would go somewhere else, seeing her take care of her father alone, and they still felt very sorry for her in their hearts. This made Ah Xing let go of the big stone in her heart and completely integrated into this harmonious and warm neighborhood life. In her previous life, the place where she lived was surrounded by big families, and it was rare to see each other a few times a year, so she liked this kind of warm neighborhood life very much.
She is like a withered sponge, desperately sucking in the love from all sides.
Soon, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.
The alley was very lively, every household hung Spring Festival couplets, and the boys set off cannons, crackling. The girls were building snowmen in their little yard. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they said auspicious words to each other when they met.
Every household made delicious food, and the mouth-watering smell of meat was everywhere. Ah Xing also specially cut a few catties of meat for the New Year. Although her cooking skills are not good, the stew is still good. She stewed a pot of white radish pork soup and gave a little to every family, and other families also sent her some of their own good dishes, and soon A-Xing's table was filled with dishes sent by neighbors. The father and daughter had a full and beautiful meal.
During the meal, Li Runfu said to A Xing: "When you are out of the third year of junior high school, you should go to see your sister, and by the way, I will greet Mrs. Hu for the New Year!" Said and gritted his teeth: "Send the basket of eggs that Xiaoxi Niang gave me, their family doesn't lack anything, it's hard to buy anything if you really want to buy it, we can't afford it, and they almost don't look at it." These eggs are good, just a sign of our hearts. They also know about our situation and don't think they will mind. ”
