When I entered the kitchen and saw Li Chun standing in the corner cleaning up herself, Liu Zhi, the girl who was born with her elbow turned out, lost her mother's hand and happily jumped towards her little spring brother. Li Chun borrowed a basin of water from Li's mother to wash his face, wiped the ashes on his body, and cleaned himself up a little, but he was in rags, and when he looked at the willow branches, he said, "I'm dirty." ”

Liu Zhi didn't care, took his hand and said, "There is something delicious today, you can eat with me." ”

At this time, Li called "Zhi'er" softly, "Zhi'er, don't pester Brother Li, people still have important matters, come and help your mother peel beans." ”

Liu Zhi came over again with a small dustpan, and Li Chun was gone, "Where is Brother Xiaochun?" "The willow branch looks left and right.

"He still has to go back to help his uncle sell fish, and Zhi'er is not allowed to disturb others like this in the future" Li kept scooping hot water in his hand to boil the pot, "You just want people to play with you, but he has serious things to do, and he will be punished if he doesn't finish it." ”

The willow branch said "ah", then sat down on the small bench with his head bowed and peeled beans, and did not speak. Li Chun's uncle is a bastard, it is said that he drank alcohol and beat his wife to death in his early years, and since then he has been alone in a boat, earning day by day, but also happy; It's been two years since I picked up Li Chun, but recently I've been addicted to alcohol again, and I often beat him one by one. Liu Zhi thought that because she wanted Brother Xiaochun to send him home and hurt him to be beaten, she couldn't help but tears fell on the green beans, and she quickly raised her hand to wipe it while Li's mother and mother were not paying attention.

When Li was at home, he learned from his mother how to make tea and rice a good hand, so that the family enjoyed the appetite, liked to eat, dared to eat, and knew how to eat, and was always willing to taste fresh vegetables at all times. In the backyard, Mama Li took the girl to carry a delicate bamboo strip food box to send soup and water to the front store, the mung bean water and sour plum soup boiled in the summer, most of the rice balls in the winter, the hot smoke rises, each person can scoop four in the bowl, the honey stuffing quicksand meat stuffing is fragrant, which makes people look at it and not envy. More than half of the income in the shop is spent on this, and the family is raised for nothing.

The dishes were passed to the hall, Liu Zhi was not happy to eat with her uncle's family, and her mother had already divided some dishes for her to eat in the kitchen, but she didn't care, and she was clean. In the hall, the Liu family didn't care, women themselves shouldn't eat at the table, and the Zhang family also set up a small table to eat on the side. The three brothers of Fu Gou'er fought again for the chicken thighs, one of the two chicken legs was distributed to Liu Da on the table, and the other Liu Wang thought about it and gave it to the youngest Fu Niu'er, but the other two quit, and Fu Dan'er "Dong" a chopstick chiseled the top of Fu Niu'er's head, and he screamed.

The chickens and dogs jumped in front, and Li had a headache, so he only told Liu Zhi to stay in the kitchen obediently and went out to persuade peace. As soon as the mother left, Liu Zhi was alone in the kitchen, and she quickly slipped out. The road to the river is already very familiar, she knows how to walk without Mama Li, her two fat short legs are rushing hard, like a duckling swaying, on the way to meet a familiar neighbor, she lied without changing her face, "My mother wants me to send fish money, I and Mama Li are faster than whom, Mama Li let me do it later."

At noon, there were a few small black canopies parked by the river, and the most dilapidated and old-fashioned one was his. The willow branch man couldn't climb up, and he called "Brother Xiaochun" while holding the boat, and when he heard a "meow" first, he saw Li Chun lift the cloth curtain and lean out half of his body, his face full of surprise that he couldn't hide. There was a white cat coiled on top of his head, his tail hanging down to his left shoulder, a pair of green eyes narrowed into a slit in the skylight, and Liu Zhi saw the kitten and slapped it quickly and called "Cat, kitten, Brother Xiaochun wait for me to give me a hug." ”

Li Chun had already come out, bent down, passed through her ribs, and easily lifted her onto the board: "Why are you here, alone?" But seeing that her clothes and hair were neat, he was slightly relieved.

Willow Branch was proud: "I'm amazing, right?" Came alone. She had been curious about life on the fishing boat for a long time, and her father said that the food, clothing and sleep of fishing were all on this boat, but the boat looked so small, how could it be used so much.

It was dark in the cabin, and Willow closed her eyes for a while to get used to it, and saw that there was almost nothing in the cabin, and a few torn clothes were left on the deck. "Brother Xiaochun, are you going to sleep on the ground?" There was no quilt or pillow, and Liu Zhi looked around in shock, unable to find anything better.

She looked at him distressedly, but he always smiled at herself very energetically: "It's okay, I slept soundly." ”

Liu Zhi was short and could barely stand in the cabin, Li Chun could only bend over, he sat down cross-legged: "What are you doing here, are you okay?" ”

Liu Zhi remembered her purpose, took out a lotus leaf bag from her arms and gave it to him, Li Chun was stunned, no wonder her chest was bulging, and she thought that her clothes were not worn properly. "I know you haven't eaten" her big eyes flickered, and Li Chun's sentence "I'm not hungry" couldn't be spoken.

This is not the first time that she has been kind. Once Li Da went to the town to eat and drink, and he didn't come back for two days in a row, he was so hungry that he fainted, and if there was a mouse on the boat, he could catch it, so he had to lie on the river and keep pouring cold water to coax his belly, and she was very embarrassed to see it. But she only handed over the zongzi in her hand with sympathy: "I only ate a little, Brother Xiaochun, you don't dislike it, just eat it." ”

How can you dislike it, the white glutinous rice is wrapped in red sweet dates, the fragrance is like a soft snake hooking, she only bit off a sharp tip, printed with a small tooth mark and looks I don't know how cute it is.

Just like now there is white rice wrapped in dried lotus leaves, chicken, duck and fish, and it is not very good to mix it up, and several meatballs are flattened. Others would think that she was sending a beggar, but he knew that she had the kindest heart.

Li Chun held the lotus leaf and ate it, the willow branch couldn't sit still, and surrounded him to tease the cat, "Wow, how come I have never seen your cat." Give me some fun. Li Chun smiled and pulled the little white cat down for her to hug, and fell into his arms like hugging a light and warm cloud. Willow Branch was overjoyed and kept shouting, "So cute, so cute." She always likes to tease cats and dogs when she walks, and Li's sex loves cleanliness, at most her daughter raises a tank of goldfish, and she is not allowed to have hair.

This cat is really beautiful, with two green eyes shining like jewels, and its fur is as smooth as satin, and it is not noisy in the arms of willow branches, lazily letting her pinch her fleshy paws, and at most flick her tail. And very well-behaved. Li Chun spoke to it softly from the beginning of raising it, "You have to be good, you can't come out if I'm not there, and if there is someone next to me, you must stay away, otherwise you will die."

The cat seemed to understand, it would only appear when Li Chun was alone, and Li Da didn't know which place to hide in when he was there. Beginning to see the willow branch in its instinctive desire to run, Li Chun calmed it, and it lazily scattered in a ball.
