Chapter 56: The Loser

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Cuilian rolled her eyes: "Say everything, let the family hear it, will it be your father?

Gao Liman looked aggrieved: "What I said was originally true, you see how much my father is towards my sister-in-law." When did you do this to me?"

"Isn't that because Kou Xi has earned money for the family? Isn't it a useful place for her now! When there is no such thing, when did your father treat her so well? I was not generous before I got married, why can I be generous now?" Li Cuilian waved her hand: "Your father, he can't afford to be early, I don't know him yet." Haven't you heard that Kou Dewang gave him a posterior pick? The old Kou family also knows about his death, and they are afraid that they will treat Kou Xi badly, so they lick it hard!"

Gao Liman pouted: "I still gave birth to a grandson to the old Huo family, and I am also a great hero." She was cautious: "Is it because my mother's family didn't send anything, my dad just told me?"

"Hmph, you mean me!" Zhang Yao looked resentful: "It's not my father, it's not okay, it's only been a few days since I came back, and I started asking for money." Mom, then Huo Jiaojiao will also slap her face when she goes back to her parents' house. They are all married daughters, who is worse than who!"

Li Cuilian didn't answer, and said in her heart that you have been back for so long. I really haven't taken out a penny, and I want to eat frozen pears when I open my mouth, who wants to!

But she didn't dare to say this in front of her daughter-in-law, so she could only persuade her daughter stupidly: "You are more attentive every day, and your heart and eyes are smaller than those needle noses." Isn't that the end of the conversation? Who told you to talk about Kou Xi? Kou Xi still has something to share, and your father is happy there, showing off. You should say a word, let him not be happy, and scold you lightly!

Gao Liman breathed a sigh of relief, since her mother-in-law didn't mean that, she was not afraid. But Zhang Yao didn't think so, she was watching TV with Li Cuilian on her back. While wiping his tears, he discussed: "It's true that if I have a stepfather, I will have a stepmother, if my father is still here, can I bear this crime?" I have been in the Huo family for so many years, and I have never been treated as a human being. Someday, I must laugh and see all of you cry, wait for me!"

No one had the key in Kou Xi's house, and this morning Kou Xi informed Huo Dagui to divide things in the afternoon and asked him to help bring them back by bicycle. I still have to sell firecrackers for a while, and there is a little bit of that couplet left, and I will sell them all out today.

Huo Dagui took the key to Kou Xi's room and carried the things she sent in one by one. By the way, take a look at this room that he hasn't been to for a long time, after all, his father-in-law is alone at home's room, and it's not easy for his father-in-law to come in casually.

He found that the room was not what he remembered. He remembered that the interior of the house had scraped white walls and some furniture. Looking at it now, the whole room is completely filled with Kou Xi's personal life.

The last time Kou Dewang came over, he felt that it was not enough for Kou Xi's room to be heated by the kang, so he paid for a boiler out of his own pocket. I made a small stove next to the earthen stove and installed a radiator with it. A four-piece radiator was installed at the entrance of the hallway, and a four-piece radiator was installed under the windowsill of the back room, which only needed a little halberd or a small amount of coal to warm up the winter.

Kou Xi's house is burning coal, and after the fine coal is mixed with water, it is pressed on top of the coal, the fire is small, the burning is slow, and the outdoor temperature is still higher during the day, so basically the house will not feel cold. Wait until about half past four to get home, relight the stove, and the room temperature can reach about twenty-four or five degrees.

At night, Kou Xi cooked and burned the kang with him, and there was a kettle sitting on the stove. Kou Xi locked the door and closed the curtains, sat in the large laundry tub and took a bath, not feeling cold at all.

The stove burned until nine o'clock, and Kou Xi spread the coal surface mixed with water on the coal. It was extinguished at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it would not be cold in the room with the residual heat in the fire kang and radiator. Even if Kou Xi gets up a little cold in the morning, the temperature inside the house will definitely not reach below zero.

Therefore, Kou Xi simply raised plants in the house, and the green from the outside is very eye-catching.

On the right side of the corridor door is a radiator, on which a boxy mirror is attached, and Kou Xi has made a black cover on the radiator below. Directly on the left is Kou Xi's dowry butterfly brand sewing machine, which is covered with the same black cloth. On the wall above the sewing machine, there is a wooden hanger with Kou Xi's red cotton jacket. At the end of the hallway, directly across from the door, is a one-man tall cupboard. The pot next to it was polished, and the stove was cold. But Huo Dagui always had the illusion that the kettle on the stove seemed to be still hot.

There are two pairs of cotton slippers next to the door of the inner room, and a two-tier shelf next to the sewing machine. On the shelf, Kou Xi's leather shoes were cleaned and placed on them.

Huo Dagui thought about it for a while at the door, considering whether he needed to change his shoes at the door before going in. After thinking about it, how could there be so many poor people in this rural area, and walked into the back room with a slap on the door.

Huo Dagui stood at the door and subconsciously looked at the kang first, there was a large mattress made of pale yellow cotton cloth on the kang, the size was just enough to cover the entire kang surface. Kou Xi made a few more square cushions, placed them next to the wall, and used bright red. People can't help but want to take off their shoes and go to the kang and sleep comfortably.

Looking at the camphor wood box that Huo An's biological mother married, Huo Dagui also shook his head. That time, Huo Jiaojiao came back and smashed Kou Xi's cosmetics. No one in the family dared to say anything, and Kou Xi got off work and invited a painter to come to the house. The kang cabinet, camphor wood box, writing desk, and TV cabinet were all moved out. Then it was all painted white, and the smell spread through the yard for a week.

And now on the white desk, there is a neat row of cosmetics against the wall.

On the opposite side of the camphor wood box, the original black and blue lattice sofa is covered with a sofa cover of the same color as that on the kang. There are three red cushions on the sofa, and the pale yellow color softens the whole room.

The whole house is indeed brighter than the inside of my own house because of the white furniture.

On the windowsill there is a flower pot raised by Kou Xi, because the house is warm and the flowers have already bloomed. Under the windowsill, there is an iron frame that Kou Xi asked someone to beat. There are two floors in length, which are the same as the window sill. Each floor has a long wooden trough. Soil was placed in it and vegetables were planted. The bottom layer is planted with garlic seedlings, and the top layer is planted with leeks.

In the corners on either side of the windowsill is a TV cabinet on one side and a handwashing rack on the other. When the sun shines in, the green plants are sprinkled on the ground. The air is filled with the characteristic scent of alabaster.

Huo Dagui looked at this strange room and sighed faintly: "Loser!"
