Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Now it's just spring, the ground is very cold, Li Chen sat on the ground and cried for a while, shivering from the cold, scolding and scolding in his mouth, crawled up, patted the dirt on his body with his hand, walked to Li Zhutou, sighed and said: "Boss, the yamen has just issued a monthly money, you first give your mother a little rescue, and wait until your second brother is developed in the future, and then compensate you with interest." ”
Li Zhutou is also a filial piety, although there is not much silver in his hand, but he still touched the remaining three taels of silver, after Wan saw it, he trembled with anger, his eyes were red, and he just wanted to say something, but he was glared at by Li Zhutou, and finally said nothing.
Li Chen's wrinkled face showed a hint of dissatisfaction: "Why is this little silver?" Three or two even a month's rent for a shop is not enough, your younger brother has been weak since he was a child, and he can't go to the street to set up a stall like those who are hard-working, if only you had married the Lin family, now Rong'an Fang is so big, where do you still use my wife to worry about money all day long. ”
Even if it is his own mother, it is very annoying to talk like this, Li Zhutou forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, did not want to be angry with his mother, and walked into the house after a few words of comfort.
Wan Shi is coaxing her daughter in the house, Dani is a year old this year, but she is thin and small, Wan wants to steam an egg for her daughter to make up for her body, Li Chen has to snatch things down, scolding her for being a loser daughter-in-law and giving birth to a money-loser.
Hearing the movement behind him, Wan Shi turned his head and said angrily: "You gave all the money to your mother-in-law, you have to leave some more for me, otherwise we will not be able to survive......
"I can't live! Can't survive? Can't you just say something nice? It's so bad all day, no wonder I don't get along well with my mother, your useless mother-in-law knows that if I want silver, can the family still starve you to death? ”
Wan Shi only felt disheartened when she stared at Li Zhutou's eyes like copper bells, but Dani in her arms was timid, and after shivering, she couldn't help but cry with tears and snot flowing together.
On weekdays, Li Zhutou Yamen is busy with affairs, and he is not close to his daughter, but now he is already holding back the fire in his belly, and there are bursts of crying in his ears, his face is purple, and his cheeks are distorted.
Wan Shi saw the man's hideous expression, hurriedly covered Dani's mouth, took a few steps back, and still did not give up, and slapped the woman in the face, he has practiced martial arts for many years, and his strength is naturally much stronger than Wan's, only after hitting this one, half of Wan's face is swollen, the bright slap marks fell on the flesh, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with red blood.
There was a buzzing sound in her ears, Wan Shi was shocked and scared, and ran out directly with the child in her arms, before she got married, she didn't expect Li Zhutou to be such a bastard, if she stayed in the house, she was afraid that she would be beaten to death by that animal!
Wan Jia is the neighbor of the Li family, but it is a pity that Wan's father and mother moved to the countryside before, so that at this moment, the Wan family ran out of the Li family and had nowhere to go.
A woman, holding a one-year-old baby in her arms, is still penniless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is in a desperate situation.
Walking aimlessly on the street, Wan made up his mind never to return to the Li family again, otherwise he would definitely be tossed to death by that family in the future.
Unconsciously walked to the gate of the city, the place where the father and mother of the countryside were old-age Wan also went once, it seems to be called Shilipo, there is a dilapidated Zhuangzi there, Wanjia built a blue brick house around the Zhuangzi, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, but in the end it is more comfortable.
There was no silver in his hand, Wan Shi couldn't even afford to hire a donkey cart, wearing cloth shoes and stepping on the mud with one foot and one foot shallow, walking from the afternoon to the dark sky, seeing the dark forest around him, Wan Shi was afraid, Dani even tightened her neck, and called her mother in a stack of voices.
When the Wan family came here last time, the road had not been repaired, and it was all sheep intestine paths, not as flat as it is now, but it is a pity that in the night, except for a bright moon hanging in the sky, the rest of the land is black, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers.
Walking forward in fear, Wan couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, although the life in the Li family was sad, but it was better than losing his life, this place where there was no village and no store, once they met a bad person, their mother and daughter's lives would not be saved.
After another moment, there was a sudden sound of Si Suosuo's footsteps in front of him, seeing the figure of the face that could not be seen approaching little by little, Wan Shi was so frightened that he gasped, Dani's courage was even smaller than that of his own mother, and he couldn't help but whimper.
With a swipe, a light lit up in the darkness, illuminating the man's face, and he saw that the man was holding a fire fold in his hand, wearing a gray-brown short, with rough cheeks, and a mouthful of white teeth, and looked like a farmer.
"Why did Madame come to the ruined village at night?"
"Wasteland?" Wan Shi couldn't remember where her father and mother had moved, but seeing that it was dark all around, she didn't dare to move anymore, looked at the man in front of her with shame, and hummed with mosquitoes in a small voice:
"Our mother and daughter are lost, can we spend the night in your village?"
Zhou Zhuangtou looked coldly at the mother and daughter in front of him, the young woman estimated that it was less than twenty, and the child in her arms was even thinner, with a pair of big and round eyes, full of frightened light.
After weighing it in his heart, he said, "You go to the village to rest first." ”
Although Mrs. said before that she could not leave outsiders overnight, Zhou Zhuangtou was a little blind, in case something happened to this orphan and widow near Zhuangzi, he was afraid that he would not be able to feel at ease in his life.
Wan's eyes were red, and he thanked Zhou Zhuangtou for his kindness, and was led to a small courtyard, where the mother and daughter slept in a big house with a burned kang, while the man moved a chair and sat in the hut to guard, sitting stiffly, and when his legs were numb, there was a rooster crying outside.
Zhou Zhuangtou took a nap, opened his eyes in a daze, a fragrance gushed out from under his nose, he knocked on his knee, and waited until it was not so uncomfortable, then quickly stood up, walked to the kitchen, and saw Wan standing in front of the stove to make porridge.
After working in the waste village for so many years, Pan'er attaches great importance to Zhou Zhuangtou, and whenever there are crops in the Zhuangzi that are ripe, they have to send some to him, but it is a pity that the man is used to being rough alone, even if the kitchen puts the best Yutian rouge rice, Zhou Zhuangtou is too lazy to do it, and goes directly to the big kitchen to ask the mother-in-law for some food, so that the stove in the kitchen of the small courtyard has accumulated a layer of dust.
But there is a woman who is indeed different, the dusty kitchen is cleaned, and the miscellaneous items are also sorted into yards, which is much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Reaching out and touching his nose, Zhou Zhuangtou said, "Why did you get up so early?" ”
Wan Shi was so frightened that his hands trembled, and after looking back and seeing the man, he explained: "I was really tired of you last night, and I don't have any money in hand, so I am thinking about doing something......
Wan had never seen pink grain before, and she was startled when she saw it this morning, but the pink rice was scarce, and she didn't use this, she just picked ordinary rice and boiled porridge, added some shepherd's cabbage, and fried a large leaf celery, which was considered ready.
Putting the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Wan smiled gratefully at Zhou Zhuangtou: "My father and mother moved to the vicinity of Zhuangzi, but it was too dark last night and I didn't find it for a while. ”
After speaking, Wan Shi was about to go out, she stayed in Zhuangzi for a night, she really didn't have the face to trouble people anymore, and she planned to leave after hugging Dani.
"Madame stay first, even if you are not hungry, you have to think about the child......"
The baby stared at the food on the table, and the saliva wet the corners of her mouth, shiny.
Zhou Zhuangtou didn't see it clearly last night, only felt that the child was thin and small, and this time the light was sufficient, he found that the child's face was sallow, and he didn't know how many times weaker than the leather monkey running all over the ground in Zhuangzi, the two of them were afraid that they would be in trouble, otherwise they wouldn't be hanging outside Zhuangzi at night when chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't poop.
Wan's face showed a hint of hesitation, but Dani in his arms stopped doing it, her little arms kept moving, and she looked dishonest.
Zhou Zhuang's dark face showed a smile and hurriedly picked up the child.
Such a big baby's body is as soft as tofu, and the tenant is very rough, he is afraid that he will break the little girl, and the force is very light, so he holds the person in his arms, takes a porcelain spoon, scoops a spoonful of porridge and feeds it directly to Dani's mouth.
When the child grew up, he swallowed the shepherd's cabbage porridge into his stomach, when he lived in Li's house before, Dani was a female doll, and she had just been weaned, and she ate brown rice soup, and she hadn't even tasted fine grains.
Seeing the fragrance of his daughter's eating, Wan's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour, obviously Li Zhutou had a lot of silver money for four taels a month, but he could live that virtuous life, if his daughter stayed in the Li family again, it would be better to take it with him, and the mother and daughter would live together.
"Sit down and eat together, although I am a soil digger, I can still manage a meal......"
Wan really couldn't refuse, so he could only stay on the table and drink porridge in small sips.
After Wan's mother and daughter finished eating, Zhou Zhuangtou personally sent them out, and Wan's father and mother lived in a village that was unwilling to leave the abandoned village, and it only took a quarter of an hour to walk over, but the village was closer to the inside, and the road was not easy to walk.

After Pan'er drank the shepherd's cabbage porridge, the vomit was not as bad as before, Chu Liang was overjoyed when he saw this, and directly ordered his guards to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables every day.
The big leaf celery is not picky, the taste of stir-fried cold salad is not bad, and even use it to make bun filling, the taste is also very fragrant.
In the kitchen, there are different ways to eat, and although Pan'er's appetite is still not good, she can eat a lot.
was resting in the house, the nurse She brought Xiaobao over, the child grew up and was reluctant to let people hold him, and he was not honest to toss back and forth.
Because Pan'er was pregnant, Xiaobao had been taken care of by the Ling family during this time, and asked She to take him to sit in the master bedroom for a while every day, for fear that Pan'er would work hard and hurt the child in her belly.
When She put Xiaobao on the ground, he ran to Pan'er upside down, pulled the woman's cuffs, and his dark and bright eyes stared at his mother's flat belly.
"Mother, are you really going to give me a brother?"
pinched a thorn gourd and stuffed it into Xiaowa's mouth, Pan'er lowered her head and said with a serious face: "Don't Xiaobao want a sister?" ”
The tender little face wrinkled, and Xiaobao snorted for a long time: "My sister is not good, I know how to cry all day long, it's better to be a younger brother, be my little brother, I am the king of the mountain!" ”
couldn't help laughing, Pan'er asked, "Why do you want to be the king of the mountain?" Your father is the Dingbei general of the imperial court. ”
"What's so good about being a general? There was no silver in the barracks, and my father's face was black, and if I became a thief, I wouldn't have to worry about the silver. ”
Seeing that the little baby was full of pride, Pan'er reached out and poked his head: "It's beautiful!" ”
Bending down and holding Xiaobao in her arms, in fact, Pan'er really wants to give birth to a daughter, after all, compared to boys, the daughter's family is not so naughty, and it is more worry-free, it is the mother's little padded jacket.
Chu Liang walked in from outside and saw the monkey sitting on the lap of the little daughter-in-law, and his handsome face suddenly became a lot gloomy.
Xiao Baotian was not afraid, he was stunned when he saw his father, his small body trembled, he jumped down from the woman's arms neatly, lowered his head with his hands behind his back, and looked so pitiful and pitiful.
"What are you scaring him for?" Pan'er couldn't help but glared at Chu Liang, although this person was a dignified general of Dingbei, he looked quite like that, but in front of her, he was like a paper tiger, and he had no deterrent at all.
"It's this kid who is cowardly, how can I scare him?" Chu Liang muttered, stood behind the little daughter-in-law, and glared at Xiaobao again.
Xiaobao pouted aggrievedly, and didn't dare to say anything, he ran out of the master bedroom directly and went to the small courtyard where the Ling family lived, he wanted to sue his grandmother and let his grandmother clean up his father!
The thick big palm pinched the woman's thin shoulders, Chu Liang's hand was good at pinching, and there was a heat in the palm, and the shoulders that were originally a little sour became crispy and numb, but it was a lot more comfortable.
"Doctor Ge is back?" Pan'er closed her eyes and asked.
Chu Liang's movements on his hand did not stop: "I've come back, don't see him these days, that old man is also impure-minded, so he thinks about getting some spiritual spring water from you, and doesn't care that you are still ......pregnant."
There was a man's chatter over and over again in her ears, Pan'er couldn't cry or laugh, when she was pregnant with Xiaobao, life was much more difficult than before, in order to get some spiritual spring water, she had to twist her arm vigorously, otherwise the business in the shop was not good, and she couldn't live with the Lin family at all.
Now that there is e-liquid, although the smell chokes the nose, it saves the pain of skin and flesh, who thought that Chu Liang even had to care about this, and simply treated her as a paper paste.
