After the low wall between the two courtyards was demolished, Uncle Zheng and several of his subordinates renovated the two thatched houses in each courtyard.

Uncle Zheng bought some straw and mud from the dried in the village, rebuilt the roof and exterior walls, and bought a lot of stones from nowhere, built a room between the two grass houses, filled the gaps between the stones with mud and straw, bought wood to build the beams, and then made all the interior walls white. The pink balls were painted.

The man named Chen Song's family is in the north, and he actually taught Uncle Zheng how to build a big kang in the side room, saying that such a big kang can be connected to the ground fire outside, and the ground fire is lit outside when he sleeps in winter, and the big kang is hot all night.

Li Wenqing smiled from ear to ear, her family was originally the poorest and most depressed in the village, but Uncle Zheng picked it up like this, and it became the most eye-catching house in the village.

Uncle Zheng built a sturdy chicken coop in the corner of the yard with the remaining stones, which made Li Chu'er very happy.

At noon on the day of the beginning of winter, everything was cleaned up, Li Wenqing made a delicious meal to treat Uncle Zheng's brothers, they finished lunch, Wang Yong took out a firecracker and set it off, and these people said goodbye to Uncle Zheng and Li Wenqing with a bang.

Uncle Zheng sent them to the entrance of the village, and Li Wenqing took Li Chu'er in her arms and stood in the courtyard looking at the row of new houses in front of her.

"Mother...... Where do I stay? Li Chu'er looked up at the house, and then at Li Wenqing.

"There are so many houses in our house, you can live in whichever one you like...... Li Wenqing said with a smile.

"But I still want to sleep with my mother......" Li Chu'er pursed her mouth, "or no one will tell me stories!" ”

"You're so old, you can't always rely on your mother! Chu'er, in the future, you have to learn to do things by yourself, like combing your hair and washing your feet, wow, if one day your mother is not in front of you, then you won't be able to do it yourself, I see what you can do! Li Wenqing pinched Li Chu'er's face and said jokingly.

"Mother! Do you really want to give birth to a child, and my brother doesn't want me? When Li Chu'er heard this, she was immediately anxious.

"Why are you thinking again! Mother is saying, you will be a big girl in the future, and it is impossible for your mother to guard you for the rest of your life? Mother and Uncle Zheng will be old, will get sick, and will die......" Li Wenqing pulled Li Chu'er to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard and held her in her arms.

"Mother! I don't want you to die! I want to be with you forever and ever! Li Chu'er threw herself into Li Wenqing's arms, and her body twisted like a stream of sugar.

"Oops...... What a stylish house! Hearing someone behind her, Li Wenqing turned her head.

I saw a few people standing outside the courtyard, all of whom were familiar villagers.

"Sister-in-law Wang, Uncle Song...... You're all here, come in and sit down! Li Wenqing hurriedly stood up and greeted everyone.

The people outside the hospital were probing their brains, with an inquiring look, "Wenqing, I heard Sister-in-law Wu say, are you ready to get married?" Which one is Xu? But is that Xu Dazhuang who killed pigs in the neighboring village? The eighty-year-old lady Zeng in the village took a step forward with a slight tremble and asked Li Wenqing.

Li Wenqing suddenly blushed, opened her mouth, and didn't know how to answer, but Li Chu'er in front of her replied crisply: "My new father's surname is Zheng, and his name is Zheng Cong!" He's a very capable guy! Martial arts! I'll have a daddy in the future, see which of you still dares to bully us! ”

When the people watching the excitement heard this, their faces were full of ridicule, and a few of them exchanged words and kept pointing at Li Wenqing.

Li Wenqing's face turned even redder, and she pulled Li Chu'er, "Chu'er, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Li Chu'er frowned, "It's supposed to be wow!" Aunt Wang, you go home and tell your Wang Xiaopang, if he dares to bully me in the future, I will call my father to beat him! ”

Li Wenqing hurriedly faced the courtyard with a smiling face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my family is not sensible, let's take more responsibility!" ”

As she spoke, she dragged Li Chu'er to the house, Li Chu'er was dragged by her arm, and she didn't understand why her mother used so much strength, but she couldn't break free for a while, so she had to be dragged by her like this, and her face turned red.

Entering the house, Li Wenqing let go of her hand, frowning at Li Chu'er, Li Chu'er had never seen her mother so angry, and couldn't help shrinking her neck.

"Li Chu'er! Who taught you to talk to adults like that! Li Wenqing walked behind the door and touched it, while scolding Li Chu'er, "What do the adults say, then they are also adults, you are a little child, and you are talking to adults indiscriminately, is this how I teach you on weekdays?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Li Chu'er looked at Li Wenqing nervously, not knowing what she wanted to do.

Li Wenqing actually took out a rattan from behind the door, and Li Chu'er saw that the rabbit was generally facing the door.

"Li Chu'er! Stop! Li Wenqing crossed her waist with one hand and pointed at Li Chu'er with the other.

Li Chu'er opened the door and shouted: "Mother, I don't dare, don't hit me!" Mother, you are really willing to beat me! Mother......"

"Hahaha......" There was a burst of laughter outside the door, and Li Chu'er rushed out, plunged into his arms, and was hugged by him.

"Li Chu'er, what are you doing again? Makes your mother angry? Uncle Zheng turned around, turned his back to Li Wenqing's rattan, and squeezed his eyes at Li Chu'er in his arms.

Li Wenqing saw that the crowd standing outside the courtyard had dispersed, threw the rattan on the ground, turned around and entered the house, and ignored the two people in the courtyard.

Uncle Zheng sat in front of the stone bench with Li Chu'er in his arms and scratched Li Chu'er's nose, "What did you do?" ”

"I'm ...... Just now, the bad people in the village stood outside our yard and pointed at it, and said that my mother married Xu Dazhuang, who killed pigs in the neighboring village, I couldn't get angry, so I quarreled with them! ”

"Oh! What are you arguing about? Uncle Zheng looked at the wide open door and wanted to see Li Wenqing, but it was dark inside, but he couldn't see it really.

"I said my father's name is Zheng Cong! knows martial arts, I also told them not to bully us in the future, dare to bully us again, I call my father to beat them! Li Chu'er puffed out her cheeks and frowned.

Uncle Zheng's heart was hot, and he couldn't help choking in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Chu'er! No matter what they do on weekdays, the neighbors are still the neighbors, and they have watched you grow up! Grandma Great-is in her eighties, and your mother and I have to call Grandma! People are shouted by you like this, not to say that you are not polite, but only that your mother did not teach you well! Uncle Zheng thought for a while, stroked the top of Li Chu'er's head and said slowly.

Li Chu'er looked at Uncle Zheng intently, suddenly her eyes turned red, and she turned around and ran towards the house, "Mother...... Mother, I was wrong...... Mother...... Shall we go and apologize to Grandma Zeng? ”

"Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Hearing Li Chu'er's voice in the house, Uncle Zheng quickly stood up and entered the house.

Li Wenqing sat straight on the edge of the bed, leaning sideways, tears dripping down, Uncle Zheng frowned and walked up to her, "Why are you here?" Chu'er already knows it's wrong! Besides, who would take what the children say? You should relax your mind in everything, okay? ”

Uncle Zheng sat in front of her, took her hand and warmed it in the palm of his hand, "Don't be angry?" Okay? Shall we go to town tomorrow to buy something? ”

Li Wenqing raised her eyes, as if with infinite resentment, "You are used to her again!" The bigger it gets, the more disobedient it becomes! I can't teach it well, but you're still used to her! ”

"Mother!" Li Chu'er threw herself into Li Wenqing's arms, "Mother, I was wrong!" I won't dare again! Don't be angry, okay? I'll listen to you and my father!" ”

"Phew!" Li Wenqing smacked at her, "It's not too much, your father is called!" You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed! ”

"Hee-hee-hee......" Li Chu'er climbed Li Wenqing's neck and winked at Uncle Zheng.

Li Wenqing stood up and pushed Li Chu'er, but Li Chu'er hung on to her firmly, like a little monkey.

Li Wenqing was helpless and sat down again. Li Chu'er used her hands and feet at the same time, climbed onto Li Wenqing, curled up in Li Wenqing's arms like a child, and buried her face in her neck socket.

Li Wenqing was afraid that she would fall, so she had to hug her tightly with both hands.

She glanced up at Uncle Zheng and saw that he was looking at the two of them with a smile, and suddenly remembered that night and said: "I hugged him once less......

His nose was sore, and tears rolled down his undried face.

"OMG!" Uncle Zheng stroked his forehead, "What's wrong with you today?" Chu'er, come down! I'm afraid your mother's tearful switch is on you! Why does she cry when she hugs you? ”

Li Chu'er looked up at her mother's face, and was about to go to the ground. Li Wenqing hugged her tightly again, "Chu'er, let my mother hug her for a while, hold her for a while, hold her for a while......"

She didn't know what was wrong, and when she saw that the little baby she held in her arms when she was a child had grown into a slim girl, she suddenly became sad.

Remembering that she had just been able to walk, so naughty, working in the field by herself, she had to tie her to a tree with a strip of cloth, and the big dog in the village bullied her weakly and barked at her, but she was not afraid, and stretched out her little hand to catch it, but was bitten by the big dog on the palm of her hand, and there are still scars on her palm.

I remembered that she had chickenpox when she was three or four years old, and she didn't understand it, but she had a high fever and her face was full of blisters, and the barefoot doctor in the village said that she couldn't cure her, so she had to cry while carrying her to the town hospital......

All this is as vivid as yesterday, but now, this little girl is smiling at the corners of her lips, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and she is smiling and snuggling in her arms.

In fact, Li Wenqing has always been afraid......

She was afraid that one day someone would come to the door and say that she was a relative of the child and would take her away. She knew that the things left behind in her swaddling clothes were not ordinary, not like things that ordinary people could have.

If Chu'er's relatives are either rich or expensive, what should she do when the time comes? If they take Chu'er away, it will be like cutting her flesh and ripping her bones!

But with such an identity, what can he give Chu'er? It's just a lifetime of facing the loess, and when you are a few years older, you can find a family in the town, so what?

"Mother...... Mother ......" heard Li Chu'er's cry in a trance, and Li Wenqing came back to her senses.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? I've called you a few times......" Li Chu'er pouted, shaking Li Wenqing's body.

"Huh? Oh oh? How? Li Wenqing asked with a clear mind.

"Uncle Zheng said that we will go to the town tomorrow to buy things, can I not go to the school?" Li Chu'er blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Wenqing expectantly.

Li Wenqing raised her head and looked at Uncle Zheng, who was staring at herself deeply, as if he had seen through her worries.
