"Wenqing!" "Mother!" Uncle Zheng and Li Chu'er shouted in unison.

"Huh? What? Li Wenqing turned around when she heard the scream, and saw that they were all staring at the porcelain basin in her hand, so she panicked and put the porcelain basin back on the case.

She wiped her hands on the hem of her clothes at a loss, not knowing what to do for a while.

Li Chu'er looked at her, then at Uncle Zheng, and suddenly smiled "hehe", stood up and ran into the courtyard, "I'll feed Xiaohuang and Xiaobai!" ”

Uncle Zheng silently finished eating the wontons in his bowl, stacked the two bowls together and walked to the stove, looked at Li Wenqing in a daze and asked, "What should I do?" You go and rest, I'll help you make the ravioli. ”

Li Wenqing hurriedly took the bowl from Uncle Zheng's hand, "Are you full?" Would you like to help you with another bowl? ”

"Not full!" Uncle Zheng said angrily, his hands were tentatively behind Li Wenqing, trying to pull her shoulders, but seeing that her body trembled slightly, he stopped again.

"You sit down for a while, and then I'll wrap up the rest of the minced meat, and then I'll give you the next bowl." Li Wenqing lowered her head and made a calm wonton.

"Wenqing, what Chu'er said just now is also what I thought......" Uncle Zheng just kept standing for a long time, holding back this sentence.

"I'm Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, hehe, I know I look older, I can't help it, I've been working hard for a long time! But I have the strength to do it, and I know some martial arts, don't worry, I won't make you two suffer! Uncle Zheng said in a deep voice, he lowered his head, and there was some pleading in his tone, and he seemed to be a little helpless.

Li Wenqing didn't speak, she wrapped some wontons and put them in the pot, put the seasoning in the bowl, and didn't need to hold the spoon to push the wontons in the pot, as if she was contemplating and deciding.

"Wenqing?" After a while, Uncle Zheng shouted again.

"The wontons are ready, you can bring them over and eat them, and I'll ask Chu'er if you want to eat them." Li Wenqing didn't look at him either, lowered her head and brushed his side, and went to the yard to find Li Chu'er.

Uncle Zheng looked at the two steaming wontons on the stove and sighed abruptly.

locked the courtyard door at night, Li Wenqing finished her work inside and out, and waited for Li Chu'er to wash her face and feet, told her to go to bed, and then packed up the embroidery work that would be sent to the town tomorrow and put it in the package, she stood in front of the table, looking at the bean-like oil lamp on the table.

Was what he said to himself at noon sincere? He really doesn't dislike dragging such a big daughter? Will he always be good to us? He had come strangely for some reason to live in this remote village. What would I do if I gave him all my heart and he left one day?

"Mother! Mother! Li Chu'er poked her head out of the bed, not understanding why her mother didn't go to bed, but stood there staring at the oil lamp in a daze.

"You're not sleeping! Get up to bed and tell me a story! Li Chu'er stared at her big round eyes, and her hair was unkempt in the quilt.

Li Wenqing looked at her daughter, this stupid girl, she didn't think about anything except eating and sleeping and playing with Xiaohuang Xiaobai every day, she really lived without heart and lungs.

Li Wenqing blew out the oil lamp, went to bed in the dark, and just took off her coat, she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside and the sound of people whispering.

Her heart jumped wildly, afraid that Ma Xiaowu had come to her window with those second slippers again.

Li Chu'er stretched out nonchalantly, "Those friends of Uncle Zheng have come to see him again......"

"Huh? How do you know? Li Wenqing looked at her daughter.

"When I got up at night, I heard it, so I quietly opened the door, leaned on the wall and looked out, and saw several big men entering Uncle Zheng's house. Li Chu'er tugged at her mother, "Mother, go to sleep, don't be afraid!" ”

"What am I afraid of?" Li Wenqing's hanging heart gradually let go, and she felt strange when she heard Li Chu'er say this.

"I know you're afraid that Ma Xiaowu will come to the window of our house! That's why you keep putting scissors under your pillow. Li Chu'er replied.

"How do you know?" Li Wenqing's heart was sour.

"I see it! I also told Uncle Zheng! Uncle Zheng said, let me tell you, don't worry, as long as he has him for a day, he will never allow us to be bullied by others again! If someone bullies us, he ...... What's ......" The window paper shines through the faint moonlight, and in the blur, Li Wenqing saw her daughter frowning, tilting her head and thinking, and couldn't help but feel funny.

"That's it?" Li Wenqing asked.

"That's it...... Just what knife goes in, what knife comes out......" Li Chu'er stammered.

Li Wen was secretly amused, but she scolded Li Chu'er softly, "At a young age, what kind of nonsense have you learned!" I'll tell him tomorrow and tell him to teach you less of these things in the future! ”

"Oops! Mother ......" Li Chu'er was coquettish and threw herself into Li Wenqing's arms.

Li Wenqing patted Li Chu'er on the back, and heard the sound of the door opening and closing in his yard, thinking that his friends were gone, she thought to herself.

What does he do? Why didn't these friends come to see him during the day, but only in the middle of the night?

Chu'er in her arms snored, Li Wenqing pulled her arm out from under her, laid her flat, covered her with a thin quilt, put on her coat, and got out of bed.

She gently pulled the bolt of the door, walked into the courtyard, looked up at the crescent bud, and suddenly felt infinitely sad.

"Wenqing?" She turned her head to look over, but saw Uncle Zheng standing by the low wall, looking at herself.

"Why are you standing in the yard?" Li Wenqing lowered her head again and asked timidly.

"I sent my friends out, and somehow, I didn't want to sleep, so I stood in the yard for a while." Uncle Zheng said softly.

"Oh, it's cold at night, go back to sleep, I'll go to sleep too." Li Wenqing pulled the coat off her shoulders and turned around to go into the house.

"Wenqing!" Uncle Zheng called her again.

"How?" She didn't turn back, but she stopped.

"Have you thought about what I said at noon? Can you say yes? Uncle Zheng leaned forward, eager to know what was going on.

"It's too fast......," Li Wenqing whispered.

"What?" Uncle Zheng didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked with a frown.

"It's nothing, go to sleep, the days are long, and I'm not in a hurry to ...... for a while" Li Wenqing stopped looking at him and raised her feet and entered the house.

Uncle Zheng looked at the crescent moon and muttered, "Too fast? What does this mean? How long are the days? Not in a hurry? What does this mean? ”

Li Wenqing's face was against the crack in the door, looking at the stunned man from the inside, and when she heard his muttering, she laughed out loud.

When she got up early in the morning, Li Wenqing cooked porridge, mixed shredded radish, covered the food on the table, and went out with the burden of embroidery.

Since Uncle Zheng recovered from his injury, he came here to eat in the morning, and sometimes Li Wen was busy, and he would also help her do some trivial things, such as helping Li Chu'er tie a pigtail, watching her finish her homework, and sending her to school at the entrance of the village.

So she was very relieved to go out early, the village is quite far from the town, to walk for most of the day, she went early, handed over the embroidery work and received the money back, but also in the town to wander, but also to buy some things.

Uncle Zheng's shoes were broken and the heels were a little worn out, she wanted to buy some thick fabric, and then go home to make some soles with pulp, and make two pairs of shoes for Uncle Zheng and Chu'er, and in the blink of an eye, it was going to be cold, and it was time to start buying winter clothes.

She quickened her pace and went to the entrance of the village, but saw a person coming in front of her, unkempt, with a mouthful of yellow teeth, stretching out his arm and scratching the itch on his back, isn't this Ma Xiaowu!

Li Wenqing lowered her head, clamped her burden, and wanted to bypass him, but she didn't expect the oncoming Ma Xiaowu to see that it was her, and she turned around and ran as if she had seen a ghost, shouting while running: "Ghost!" Hell yes! ”

Li Wenqing was a little confused, thinking that these two often get drunk and go crazy in the village, but they didn't expect to get drunk like this early in the morning.

When I arrived in the town, it was already three poles old, and the street was full of people, Li Wenqing saw a bunch of people standing at the door of the inspection department in front of him, pointing to something on the wall and whispering.

She felt curious, walked to the pile of people, and also looked at the wall, which was densely written with words, she only recognized two or three, and heard the people around her say that this was a sea fishing official document, and it was painted that it was a fugitive court criminal.

She looked at the portrait on the official document, and suddenly her eyes went dark, and there was a "buzz" in her head, like thunder!
