In anticipation of the little brother, the days went from autumn to winter, and then spring came back with peach blossoms, swallows, and spring floods.

When the flood season comes, the river is so full that you can barely see the other side, and the turbid water is as hideous as a monster swallowing the fields, trees, boats and people who have fallen into the river. At this time, all the fatal ones have collected their nets and docked on the shore, and only the bold and crazy people have gone out to salvage floating wealth in the river.

"Hey, yesterday Li Da picked up four boxes of goods from the river, and this guy sent them."

"What four boxes, the upper ten boxes are floating on the water, and Li Chun has been fishing until the second half of the night."

"Doing evil, how old is Li Chuncai, if he is not his own child, he will be a cow and a horse."

"It's just that my doll doesn't feel distressed. If you want to say that Li Da is lucky, pick up a Li Chun and give him cold water and rice, which is worse than raising a cat and dog, but it is used by an adult. ”

"He has no parents and relatives, and he will not be lost in the river when he is tossed to death. I saw that he couldn't climb when he came out of the water, and all he spit out was red. ”

The willow branch was sandwiched between the women who were buying vegetables, and when she heard it, she felt uncomfortable like a needle prick, so she found an excuse to get rid of Li's mother and ran to the river in one go. At this time, most of the embankment has been flooded, a few small boats in the heart of the river loom between the waves, and there are people in white clothes on the riverside who are throwing paper money while beating their chests and crying, and the willow branches are almost out of breath when they see it, and they cry with a "wow".

When he was crying alone, he heard someone call himself "Xiaozhi", "Xiaozhi, why did you run to the river, it's so dangerous here." She let him pull herself, looking at him with teary eyes.

"What's wrong with you, Twig?" Li Chun looked at the memorial service by the river, thinking that she was frightened, and hurriedly turned her around, "Okay, okay, don't look at it." ”

As a result, the willow branch cried even more and hugged him to death. After crying for a long time, the willow branch gradually quieted down, touching his arm, the strong and powerful touch made her feel a little relieved, Brother Xiaochun is here, and he exists steadily.

She felt a long wound on his arm, from his left arm to almost his elbow, and his flesh was blistered white and turned outward, like a child's mouth. "Brother Xiaochun" willow branch choked and shed tears,

Li Chun hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, I was scratched by the wood in the water, and it doesn't hurt anymore." ”

Liu Zhi didn't care, he only cried and pulled him and refused to let go, dragging him to the house. Mama Li was also embarrassed when she saw it, the large and small injuries on his body, the new ones were stacked with the old ones, and the green ones were pressed against the purple ones. Li's mother gave him medicine, and the willow branch filled a big bowl of rice, and the leftovers at home were all carried on it, thinking about it, and fried two poached eggs on top of the golden cover, and held it to him.

Seeing that he was eating deliciously, and the scars on his bare back that had been drugged and his eyes were shaking, Liu Zhi begged him: "Brother Xiaochun, don't go into the water, come to my house if you have nowhere to go." My mother is about to give birth to a little brother, and there is just one more brother in the family. ”

Li Chun felt that the soft appearance of the willow branch was really cute, and his big and round eyes were full of pleading, exactly like the white cat he raised. With her holding her arms and begging with tears in her eyes, those hardships and tiredness have long been gone.

Liu Zhi begged for a long time, but Li Chun just laughed, but didn't answer her. Liu Zhi hugged him with tears in his eyes and refused to let him go, and Li's mother also persuaded her, and it was easy to pull her away from him, she was worried, as if he was going to go to Longtan Tiger's Den as soon as he went back, while still tearfully giving him Ma's fried mille-feuille cake while admonishing: "You just say that you are sick, don't go into the water, if your uncle beats you, you will escape." ”

She's so cute. He touched her smooth bun: "I'm fine, don't cry, your eyes are going to hurt." ”

"Hmm. Brother Xiaochun, next time I come to make this cake, I will learn from Mama Li" Liu Zhi added again, "I want to put more meat and oil, it must be better than her." ”

Li Chun laughed so hard that he couldn't help but hug her: "Xiaozhi, you are so good." ”

A small bubble bubbled in Willow Branch's heart, sweet and silky. Xiaozhi, you are so good, he used to always praise himself that Xiaozhi is so well-behaved and cute, Xiaozhi is really fragrant and white, etc., but this Xiaozhi you are so different.

Liu Zhi always asked Li's mother to cook more rice, and then pinched the remaining white rice and wrapped it one by one and gave it to him. The fists are large, and sometimes they are wrapped in small dried fish, sometimes pickled vegetable stalks, and the most luxurious is the whole square meat as the filling. In the spring, it was humid, and I thought that he was on the water, and I always boiled red bean and barley water for him to drink.

Wicker was born on May 15, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the air is still full of the aroma of male yellow mugwort, the willow trees by the Qingshui River grow luxuriantly, and the long branches have been hanging into the river. My sister is called Willow Branch, and my sister is called Wicker. The random name reveals his father's disappointment.

Not a little brother, but a little sister. But Liu Zhi did not have the disappointment of her father, she was so happy that there was one more relative in this world who was connected to her blood. At the beginning, my cousins and fathers all said that a grandfather came out and loved each other, not to mention that this was a sister who came out of his mother's womb. My sister is so small, she is soft, she has no strength to open her eyes, and her crying voice is small like Brother Xiaochun's white cat, and she must take good care of her sister.

"Brother Xiaochun, look at my sister, it's so cute."

"It's fat. Why are you so fat and still spitting bubbles, Xiaozhi, were you like this when you were a child? ”

"Dad said I'm prettier than my sister," Willow said with a face. Li Chun really thinks she is the most beautiful little girl in the world. No one is as beautiful and cute as the eldest girl of the Liu family, and she can still do it; The mille-feuille cake is fragrant and oily, full of meat filling, and the oil will flow to the chin when you bite into it.

Li's mother watched the two of them head to head next to the cradle, teasing the baby inside, and joked to Li: "This is not like a family."

After the little sister was born, Liu Zhi could see Li Chun often. Mother gave birth to her sister this time, and she lost her body, and she didn't have much milk, so her father asked Brother Xiaochun to send two crucian carp every day, and the two of them could meet every day with the errand of delivering fish.

Liu Zhi spends most of her time at home helping her mother take care of her newborn little sister, and when Li Chun comes, it becomes the happiest time of her day, and the two children meet and chirp endlessly. Li Chun always brought her some messy little things, cicadas, screw shells with unique patterns, pebbles, and willow branches to put away happily.

Li was already over thirty years old when she gave birth to wicker, and her age and physical condition were unlikely to get pregnant again, and the small family had no idea of taking a concubine. Li sighed all day long, but Liu Wang enlightened her, whoever raises a loser comes out, it is better to raise a girl's family, the girl is intimate, and she will not forget her mother's family.

"I'm afraid that your brother and sister-in-law won't give up, but now there is a reason why you can't push it off." "I don't like my brother's three sons, and I'd rather recruit a son-in-law for Zhi'er if I want to succeed him."

The sound of Liu Zhi playing with his sister in the yard came, and Liu Wang said to Li: "Feng Da's five sons are reluctant to marry Jiaojiao and be wronged, we are so capable, let's leave her at home to recruit a son-in-law, and her sister will also rely on her in the future." The Li family is still puzzled, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and Jiangnan is rich, where can I find an honest person who can't live at home and is willing to be a son-in-law.
