"Wangwang......" whose dog barked urgently, Li Chu'er in her sleep thought that she was startled, and closed her eyes and whimpered.

Li Wenqing gently patted her back and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. Li Chu'er muttered, a little more peaceful.

"Plop", Li Wenqing suddenly heard a muffled sound from outside the hospital, followed by a chaotic sound of footsteps.

She was frightened, got out of bed, picked up the flat pole that stood up behind the door, and hesitated to open the door to see what was going on.

"Papa......" There was a gentle knock on the door outside, Li Wenqing clenched her shoulder, pursed her lips, and didn't dare to speak.

"Help......" It was a man's voice, already weak. Then there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and after a while, there was no sound.

Li Wenqing has been standing behind the door, listening to all this at a loss, and standing for half a pillar of incense, then he slowly put down the flat shoulder and opened the door bolt.

The moment he opened the door, someone fell in softly, "Ah", Li Wenqing exclaimed, quickly covered her mouth, and looked back at Li Chu'er on the bed, afraid of startling her daughter.

By the moonlight, Li Wenqing saw a man with a bloody face, holding his waist with one hand, which was constantly soaked in blood.

Li Wenqing no longer hesitated, dragged him into the house with all her might, turned around and closed the door, lit the oil lamp on the table, picked up two pieces of clothing from the bed, tore them into long strips, scooped some water with a scoop, first dipped a hand towel in water, helped him clean his wounds, and then went to the stove to touch half a bowl of grass ash, applied it to his wounds, and tied them tightly with strips of cloth, which helped him stop the bleeding.

"Water...... Water ......," the man muttered with half-squinted eyes.

Li Wenqing poured out half a bowl of water from the teapot on the table, handed it to the man's mouth, and drank it cleanly.

After a pause, he slowly opened his eyes, "Thank you...... Thank you......" he said.

Li Wenqing shook her head, "Where are you from?" How could it get hurt? The man shook his head and closed his eyes again.

Li Wenqing put his arm on his shoulder and reluctantly helped him to the bed, his body was very hot, thinking that he had a fever due to excessive blood loss.

She pulled the quilt over him, drew another basin of water, squeezed a hand towel, and put it on his forehead. So repeatedly, she was busy until the rooster crowed, and then touched the man's forehead, and the fever had subsided.

Only then did she relax and fall asleep on the table.

"Mother...... Mother ......" When Li Wenqing was woken up by her daughter, the sky was already bright, and Li Chu'er rubbed her eyes and looked at her a little angrily.

"Don't you have breakfast?" Li Chu'er pouted and said angrily.

Li Wenqing's heart is not good, orphans and widows, wake up in the morning and see a man lying on the bed, if this is known to the neighbors, what is it like?

She looked on the bed, but the man was no longer on the bed, and the tea bowl on the table was upside down, and she turned it over, and there was a white silver ingot in it.

"When did you wake up?" Li Wenqing grabbed the silver in her hand and asked Li Chu'er, who was wiping her face with a handkerchief.

"Just now, mother, why did you fall asleep on the table? It's weird that you don't sleep in a bed! Li Chu'er gave her mother a blank look, still angry that she didn't have breakfast.

"Don't be angry! Mother, I'll do it for you! You comb your own hair, and you can't miss going to school. ”

Li Wenqing scratched her daughter's nose, hurriedly went to the stove to light firewood and grass to make a fire, sat on the pot and boiled water, grabbed a handful of mixed noodles and put them in the basin to prepare, went to the small vegetable garden outside to pinch a handful of shallots with dewdrops and washed them, cut them into small pieces and put them in the basin, scooped a spoonful of lard sent by Wu's sister-in-law yesterday, and put a little sesame salt into it.

At this time, the water on the stove was already half-boiled, Li Wenqing scooped half a spoonful of water with a wooden spoon, slowly poured it into the basin, poured it while slowly stirring the noodles, and when the batter was ready, she put it aside and woke up.

He poured the boiled water into the teapot on the table, sat the pot on the stove again, scooped a spoonful of lard and put it into the pot, and after a while, the fragrance of the oil came out.

Li Wenqing slowly poured the mixed batter into the pot, and shook the pot again, so that the batter was evenly spread into a cake.

"Mother, isn't it almost ready?" Li Chu'er smelled the fragrance, swallowed saliva and asked Li Wenqing, Li Wenqing smiled, turned over the spread cake again, turned it over and saw that the side was already burnt and burnt, and it was dotted with green green onions, which looked particularly attractive.

If only there was a chicken at home, and I could knock an egg for Chu'er. Li Wenqing sighed in her heart, but Li Chu'er couldn't wait.

"Mother, are you okay?"

Li Wenqing shoveled the spread cake onto the case with a wooden shovel, and cut it into four pieces with a knife.

"Hot!" Li Wenqing pretended to knock Li Chu'er on the head with a wooden shovel, and Li Chu'er had already gobbled up the piece of cake in her stomach.

"Delicious!" Li Chu'er was so hot that she stuck out her tongue, but her eyes smiled like crooked crescents.

Li Wenqing wrapped the cake in oiled paper and stuffed it into Li Chu'er's schoolbag, "Okay, it's time to go to school, let's go!" ”

Li Chu'er smiled at her mother, turned around and ran out, ran two steps, turned back, and hugged Li Wenqing's waist, "Mother, you are so good!" ”

Li Wenqing took a step back from her bluff, and when she heard her daughter's words, her heart warmed up.

When she came back to her senses, Li Chu'er had already run away, she looked at the front blankly, and thought to herself, daughter, with your words, these hardships for my mother for so many years have not been in vain!

Li Wenqing wiped the corners of her tear-wet eyes, cleaned up the utensils just now, took out the ingot of silver that she had just put into her arms, and sat behind the embroidery frame and looked at it carefully.

The night was too dark, and she didn't see the man's face clearly, but the smell of sweat and blood on his body, now that she thought about it, it seemed to linger on the tip of her nose.

When did he leave? But the fever has subsided? Is the wound still bleeding? Does it matter? Did he put down the ingot to thank her for bandaging his wound last night?

"Wenqing, Wenqing!" Sister-in-law Wu's voice came from outside, and Li Wenqing hurriedly put the ingot of silver into her arms again, got up and greeted her.

"Look who's coming...... Sister-in-law Wu turned around happily and beckoned to the person behind her.

Li ...... Sister Li ...... "The butcher Xu Dazhuang was carrying a piece of pork in his hand and two fruit boxes under his arm, and stood behind Sister-in-law Wu in a wooden manner.

Seeing Sister-in-law Wu greeting him, her stubble-covered face suddenly turned red as pork liver.

"Da Zhuang came to see you, why don't you let people into the house quickly?" Sister-in-law Wu came over and pulled Li Wenqing's sleeve.

Li Wenqing's face turned red, "This ...... As soon as we got up, I spread cakes for Chuan and told her to go to school, and the house was not cleaned up yet, so let's sit in the courtyard. ”

"Okay, hehe, good ......" Xu Dazhuang saw Li Wenqing looking at him, a pair of beautiful eyes looked forward to life, and his eyes were straight.

He stuffed the pork and two boxes of pastries into Li Wenqing's hands, "Here, give it to my daughter!" ”

Li Wenqing didn't watch out for him suddenly stuffed over, he was stunned, his hand didn't catch it, and the pastries and meat fell to the ground.

"Ahh......h Da Zhuang's well-intentioned ......"

"Hehe...... no, it's fine." Xu Dazhuang bent down to pick up the pork, lifted the pastry box, and sprinkled all the oil paper underneath, and the pastries inside spilled all over the ground.

"Ah, it's a pity, it's a good fruit!" Sister-in-law Wu also went to pick it up, and Li Wenqing stood helplessly, not knowing what to do.

lowered his head but saw the top of Xu Dazhuang's half-bald head, and couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Sister-in-law Wu, I have to go to the town today to deliver embroidery work......" she smiled at Sister-in-law Wu.

"It's a pity for this fruit......" Sister-in-law Wu also looked at the pastries sprinkled on the ground, with a look of regret.

"Hehe, it's okay, buy it, buy it again!" Xu Dazhuang scratched his head, and Li Wenqing saw the black ash between his fingers.

"Sister-in-law Wu, I'm going to the town to deliver embroidery work, it's too late!" After Li Wenqing said this, she flashed into the house, packed a small package, and locked the door when she came out, leaving Sister-in-law Wu and Xu Dazhuang standing in a daze, a little confused.

"Sister-in-law Wu, I'll go first, let's talk when I come back!" Li Wenqing didn't look at Xu Dazhuang, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Sister-in-law Wu sneered and looked at Xu Dazhuang with an embarrassed face, "Little lady, thin-skinned, embarrassed ......"

"Hey, yes, yes." Xu Dazhuang laughed and hung the pork on the door lock of Li Wenqing's house.

Li Wenqing also escaped out of the house, yesterday to Sister-in-law Wu two words of persuasion, originally made up her mind, thinking that she was indeed having a hard time with Li Chuan'er, women always have to find someone to rely on, listen to Sister-in-law Wu's meaning, this Xu Dazhuang is also an honest person, Li Chu'er followed the past, he will not be wronged, otherwise he will follow Xu Dazhuang to live.

But today I looked at this man...... As long as she thinks about eating in the same pot and sleeping in the same bed with such a person in the future, she feels cold and cold in her heart, as if she is going to die.

Ay...... She sighed, it seems that this life is destined to be alone, so do more work, save more money in your hands, and the life of the mother and son can be considered in the long run.

She touched the ingot of silver in her arms, thinking that after handing over the embroidery work for a while, she would go to the town to buy a hen and come back, and the eggs could be made for Li Chu'er to eat, this child was growing up, but she couldn't be wronged.

She thought as she walked forward. When I walked to the big jujube tree at the entrance of the village, I didn't pay attention to being hit on the head by something.

She looked up at the tree, but saw Ma Xiaowu, the second son of the village, lying on the thick trunk of the tree, grabbing a handful of dates in his hand, eating one, spitting out a pit, and just landed on her head.

There was no man in her family, and she didn't dare to use force with these two slippers, so she cut her hair, but she didn't see it, lowered her head and walked forward. didn't want her to make trouble, but Ma Xiaowu saw her, threw down a handful of jujube cores, and smashed them all on top of her head.

"What are you doing!" Li Wenqing loves to be clean, and Ma Xiaowu's saliva is on the jujube pit, she said in disgust while combing her hair.

"What did I do? What did I do? Ma Xiaowu jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Li Wenqing, his eyes were picked, looking Li Wenqing up and down.
