Lou Yanni touched his thin arms and legs, her eyes were sore, she didn't speak, took off the cotton shoes on the child's feet and put him in the bed.

On the bed, Fang Yan shrank to the corner of the bed and lay down, Lou Yanni sighed lightly, covered her sadness, turned off the light and went to bed, "Come, sleep on my mother's side." ”

"I don't have a mother." The house was quiet for a while, and then Lou Yanni heard a very small voice, "My aunt said that I was fished from the pit, and that I was a wild seed that my uncle picked up and brought home outside, and I don't have a mother." ”

The voice was very small at first, and only grew louder at the end, especially in the last few sentences, like a very badly injured little beast, with a defensive force, strongly emphasizing the fact that he did not have a mother.

Lou Yanni scolded her mother in her heart, scooped the child into her arms, stroked his skinny and very stiff back, and stroked gently, "Don't listen to her, you have a mother, and from now on, I will also be your mother." ”

Fang Yan didn't reply, and chose to be silent.

Lou Yanni didn't force him anymore, gently stroked his back, felt him relax a little, and then slowly fell asleep, and then approached her a little unconsciously with temptation, but as soon as Lou Yanni moved, the little guy was nervous and arched his body even in his sleep.

Almost didn't sleep all night, until dawn for Lou Yanni squinted half-asleep for half an hour, just fell asleep, was woken up, Fang Yan didn't know when to quietly get up and out of the house.

At this time, it was dawning, Lou Yanni followed, and then saw Fang Yan skillfully enter the stove house, boiling water and washing the pot, and his height was not up to the stove, so he set up a stool up and down, cooked porridge with rice, and took out the pickle head from the vat and cut it to make porridge.

Before he finished doing this, he took out the big foot basin and washboard for the Lin family's laundry, and when he was about to drag it out of the kitchen, he saw Lou Yanni standing at the door, and he was so frightened that he twitched, but the foot basin in his hand had not been dropped yet.

"Ouch, how many times has Grandma said that this work was not done by a doll of your age!" Mother Lin felt less and woke up early, thinking that with Lou Yanni here today, Fang Yan would not get up early, but who expected that this child would get up early in the morning and do the work at home.

Hearing Han Rin say it and seeing it with her own eyes were completely different feelings, Lou Yanni was so sad that she snorted and sighed, rolled up her sleeves, "It's okay, we have to leave today, it's okay to let Fang Yan cook you another breakfast, Fang Yan, do you want to wash your clothes?" Come on, mom help you. ”

Lou Yanni stepped forward and brought the footbasin out of the house, Fang Yan's expression could not hide her surprise, but she still hurriedly followed, and timidly instructed Lou Yanni to put the footbasin next to the Lin family's large water tank.

Helping to clean the old lady's clothes, Lou Yanni took Fang Yan into the house to change the clothes she brought, Fang Yan was wearing the clothes of the Lin family's children, and they didn't have many clothes, so they had to be returned to them, and when the changed clothes were washed, it was almost time to eat.

Before, Lou Yanni was worried that Bao Dan's clothes were too small, but now when she wears them on Lin Yan, it is like a sack, it is very empty, and her sleeves have to be rolled up.

After eating, it was time for Lou Yanni to take Fang Yan to catch the train.

When Xiao Lin went to find the tractor, Mother Lin pulled Fang Yan to tears, she lived for more than a month, how could she be emotional, plus the child was really pitiful, Mother Lin took out five wool threads and stuffed them into Fang Yan's pocket, "You take it, buy candy to eat yourself, your mother's family conditions are good, follow your mother, you have to be obedient, you know?" ”

Fang Yan nodded, and the other uncles and aunts of the Lin family also gave Fang Yan five cents of money, telling him to be obedient when he arrived at his new home.

Lou Yanni wanted to pay money to Mother Lin, but Mother Lin didn't ask for it, she only said that she would keep the money for Fang Yan, and after pushing it for a long time, the tractor also came, Lou Yanni got into the car, and when the car started, she threw the fifty yuan tied with a rubber band to Mother Lin, and Mother Lin couldn't push it anymore if she wanted to.

"Sister-in-law, you're too polite." Xiaolin sent Lou Yanni to the county seat to take the train, and her face turned red when she saw this.

Lou Yanni saw Fang Yan nestled in Xiao Lin's arms, "Just think it's my sister-in-law's wedding gift money for you." ”

Although Xiao Lin didn't know how much Lou Yanni had given, he didn't know how much he had to give, so he opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say, so he had to accept it with a red face, thinking that he would pay the allowance in the future, and he would give Fang Yanyou five yuan a month for living expenses, so as to reduce the burden on the head of the regiment's family.

On the train back, the sleeper ticket that Lou Yanni bought, although Fang Yan relied on Xiaolin very much, he was also very obedient, and said that he would let him go with Lou Yanni, so he obediently followed Lou Yanni on the car, just lying on the window, looking at Xiaolin all the time, seeing that Xiaolin couldn't wait to rush to the car to pick up the child and raise it himself.

Lou Yanni sat beside Fang Yan, "Don't be sad, when you grow up, you can come to see Uncle Xiaolin and Grandma Lin by yourself." ”

"How old have you grown?" Fang Yan asked.

Lou Yanni touched his head and smiled slightly, "When you go to high school at the age of sixteen, you will be able to take the train by yourself." ”

Sixteen years old is already considered an adult, in the countryside, there are not a few teenagers who become fathers at the age of sixteen, Lou Junlin has many elementary school classmates, and now they are fathers of two children.

Fang Yan nodded, silently wrote down Lou Yanni's words, the train started slowly, Fang Yan, who had endured not crying, still cried, but he didn't cry like ordinary children, he just cried silently, and didn't dare to make a sound at all.

Lou Yanni heard Xiaolin mention that when she was at Fang Yan's uncle's house, Fang Yan was not allowed to cry when she was beaten, and if she cried, she had to fight a few more times, and no matter how painful it was, she could only endure it alive, even if she shed tears, she didn't dare to make a sound.

If it weren't for Xiao Lin to look at it this time, how good it would be for the people in the village to be Fang Yan's uncle and aunt, it's nothing for the children to do housework, whose children didn't work early, especially Fang Yan is still under the fence, he should have a little more eyes, he is not hungry and frozen, it is enough, where did he think that Fang Yan's uncle and mother have so many ways to treat children, and they are so perverted.

Lou Yanni didn't say anything, handed the child a handkerchief, and waited until he finished crying before leading him to turn on the water and tell him that he must tell her if he wants to go to the toilet.

Xiao Lin reluctantly watched the train disappear, and then took the tractor home, where Lin's mother sat in his new house, looking at the pile of money under the futon, and was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a while, she quietly put away the money, not daring to let Xiaolin's brothers and sisters-in-law know that she planned to secretly give Xiaolin to marry his daughter-in-law.

When Xiao Lin arrived home and got the one hundred and thirty yuan that Lin Mu stuffed him, he was also a little stunned, Lin Mu sighed, "This hundred yuan was stuffed under the pillow by Comrade Xiao Lou, and the thirty yuan here was given to me when she gave it to her, you take it all, these twenty mothers will take it, buy candy for a few of your nephews and nieces to eat, and subsidize the family." ”
