Chapter XXIV
In August, it dawned at five o'clock.
The rising sun renders the distant horizon into a beautiful landscape.
Li Xiao woke up full of energy, did a few stretching exercises and felt full of fighting spirit, there is a tough battle to fight today.
Qian Xiaoling had already come back from running five thousand meters outside, and was washing her face, and when she saw Li Xiaocai getting up, she looked disapproving
"Hey, the big lazy worm is up, you can't do this, you will go out with me every day to run five thousand meters in the future"
Li Xiao didn't bother to give Qian Xiaoling one, she thought that everyone was like her who practiced weight-bearing running every day since she was a child, this person was like drinking stimulants all day long
Anyway, why did Uncle Qian raise his daughter as a son, doesn't Qian Xiaoling still have an older brother who is a soldier?
Li Xiao ran to the kitchen and looked at the steamed buns, Liu Li sighed
"Aunt Liu, you are so amazing! The breakfast is also hearty! And you can't blame me for waking up late, if you want to blame your bed for being so comfortable that I don't even want to think of it."
"Haha, your girl's mouth is as sweet as honey, let's go have breakfast" Liu Li was teased by a little girl
After the three of them finished eating a hearty breakfast, Li Xiao helped clean it up, and called Aunt Liu to sit down at the table, she had something to ask her to help
"Aunt Liu, I have something I want to solemnly ask you for help with now"
"You girl has something to say, what are you polite to your aunt?"
Li Xiao paused, and said the thoughts that had been swirling in his mind for so long
"Aunt Liu, I want you to help me persuade my dad to take my grandparents over"
"Xiaoxiao, how can you have such an idea, your aunt Wang treats you badly, naturally your father will educate her, calling your grandparents will only deepen your contradictions, and how long can your grandparents stay, isn't it the same when they leave?"
Liu Li didn't agree with Li Xiao's idea when she heard it, what the child thought was too simple
Li Xiao was helpless, why was Aunt Liu so anxious, she didn't listen to her words, there must be a mother and a daughter, and Qian Xiaoling was always like this
"Aunt Liu, listen to me, I mean I want to buy a house in the city and bring my grandparents here to accompany me through high school."
''You buy a house?'' ‘’
"What, you buy a house?"
Li Xiao looked at the shocked mother and daughter, and couldn't help but smile, it was indeed a bit incredible for a fourteen-year-old girl to say the words of buying a house, but
''Well, I bought a house, didn't I tell you last night that I was writing novels and children's stories to publishers, and I had a manuscript fee?''
"But that's to buy a house, not one or two hundred, and you still say you want to go to the city to buy it."
Although Liu Li was still a little dizzy, she also raised the key points of the question, unlike Qian Xiaoling, who had not yet come to her senses
''I know, I've inquired a long time ago, I plan to buy a bungalow, there is a courtyard in front of the three-bedroom and a living room, it doesn't need to be too big, and all the furniture and everything should be enough for 600 yuan'''
Li Xiao had been preparing for buying a house for a long time, but she originally wanted to take the winter vacation to do it again, but this incident pushed her forward
''That's 600 yuan, you make so much money writing novels?'' ‘’
Liu Li still can't believe it, you must know that her family's old money and Li Minghui are both battalion commanders at the same level, that is, the salary has been high in the past two years, but even if she doesn't eat or drink all year round, it is less than five hundred, not to mention that there is such a large family to support and send money back to her hometown to support the elderly.
Over the years, her family's savings have added up to less than three hundred, it's not that she said that in addition to the regiment commander's family and the chief's family and Li Xiao's family in this compound, there are no conditions better than her family, but what did Li Xiao say, she earned six hundred yuan in less than a year, how could she believe it
Li Xiao also knew that what he said was unbelievable, but this was the truth
''Aunt Liu, will I still lie to you, now that I have the money to buy a house, my grandparents know that Aunt Wang will agree to come here to take care of me, it is my father' Li Xiao paused, bit his lip and continued
"Aunt Liu, I can't tell my dad about this matter, otherwise he would be so sad, I want you to suggest as a bystander that my dad agree to take my grandparents here, as for the money, my dad already knew that I had a lot of manuscript fees."
Liu Li looked at Li Xiao pleading with pleading eyes, what else could he say, just
''Xiaoxiao, it's really hard for you, no wonder your father always says that you are too sensible, sensible and distressing''
''Aunt Liu, it's nothing, the last thing I want is to make my dad sad''
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and immediately began to change the topic
"Aunt Liu, aren't you going to the field to pick vegetables and prepare lunch at such a late hour, I won't go with you, and I'll show you a good hand at noon so that you can taste my craft."
''Okay, okay, then Aunt Liu is waiting''
Li Xiao watched Liu Li go out with a basket on her shoulder, and then sat next to Qian Xiaoling, who had not made a sound since just now, and pretended to be proud
"How about it, I'm scared, I'm amazing, or you will recognize me as a sister, and I will take you to eat and drink spicy food in the future."
When Qian Xiaoling heard this, she immediately jumped up and said to Li Xiao
"What, the beauty you think, I tell you to be a sister for one day and a sister for life, don't you want to rebel."
"When have I called your sister, don't think too much, look at your stupid appearance, I'm almost as good as your sister"
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he saw Qian Xiaoling rushing over, and the two of them argued and joked over who would be the sister
Some people are inherently ill-suited to silence and should always be alive
At this time, Wang Xiaomei and Li Yan were waiting for Li Minghui at the gate of the compound with the big sun
''Yan Yan, why don't we go back, the sun is too hot'' Wang Xiaomei has been pampered and has never done any work since she married Li Minghui, let alone under the sun, she can't stand it
Li Yan is also very hot, but
"No, hold on a little longer, Dad will come back soon, you don't want Dad to come back and the first thing you see is Li Xiao, Dad won't listen to us at that time."
''Who knows where that stinky girl went last night, maybe at which wild man's house!'' ”
"Mom, what are you talking about! Shame on you! Is Li Xiao so stupid? She must have been at Qian Xiaoling's house last night."
Li Yan was about to be angry with her mother, what wild man was saying at the gate of the compound in broad daylight, what was it like to be heard, and besides, she was only eleven years old, what mother would say such a thing in front of such a young daughter
Wang Xiaomei sneered
"Aren't I excited for a while, I must pay attention in the future, Yan Yan don't be angry with my mother"
Li Yan was also helpless, she also knew that her mother would lose her mind as soon as she ran into Li Xiao, and it seemed that she would have time to ask her mother why she hated Li Xiao so much
