I was stunned for a moment, remembering that she had always called Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong aunts, probably she was not used to calling other people like that.

So, I was about to tell her, but I heard Li'er say: "She is more worn than the people in the house, how can it be my aunt." ”

Ruexiang's hand holding the handkerchief suddenly froze in the air, not stretched out, nor taken back, her cheeks were red and white, and she couldn't hide the shame on her face. I was in a hurry, and hurriedly said to Li'er: "Li'er, how can you talk like that." ”

"That's what it was. She's a poor person! ”

She was still looking at me with big ignorant eyes, and she didn't seem to think that she was wrong in the slightest.

My brow furrowed slowly.

I know that there are some people who are born with two decent eyes, one rich heart, and feel inferior just when they are poor, and even look down on these ordinary people completely, just like those nobles in the court who are in the corpse and vegetarian meal, and look down on the light cold, but I don't know that these people just rely on a good background (in fact, some backgrounds may not be as good as the light cold), and when it comes to the ambition and vision of rejuvenating the country and stabilizing the country, one by one is simply a straw bag that can only chant the wind and the moon, and talk about love.

But I never thought that my daughter would do the same.

It seems that I was grateful to Han Ruoshi for raising her son for so many years, but I thanked it too early and too much.

Li'er is indeed cute and caring, but all her intimate cuteness is limited to those decent people in the house and those who can be close to her. At the beginning of the Crouching Tiger Village, Shen Xiaokun said that "very wild", there is something in the real words, although from the first time I saw her, she yelled at me, but at that time, because I was too happy to see her, and because of the special environment, I didn't care too much, and later she was so intimate to me, I completely ignored the past.

But now, as soon as I left the house, in a completely unfamiliar environment, I saw a real departure.

A child who starts a temper and doesn't care about anything; A child who doesn't care about morality and even beats his mother.

Thinking of this, my heart is also a little angry.

It's just that when I saw those clean eyes, a burst of anger was still suppressed. If you don't teach, it's your father's fault. But Pei Yuanhao is not by her side, and her father Pei Yuanxiu is busy with his own career, and he has never personally taught Li'er, and the person who really taught her is ......

Thinking of this, my mind sank. However, I just lost my temper today, and I scared her, and moving to a new place really shouldn't make her accept too much at once.

So, I forced a smile and turned back to Rue Xiang and whispered, "I'm sorry. ”

Rue Xiang smiled wryly: "Is the child still young?" ”

She looked at Li'er again, shook her hand back and forth for a while, and finally handed the silk handkerchief to me, and then said a few words, then turned around and left with Gou Er.

Leave me, take the silk handkerchief, look back at Li'er, and my mood is getting heavier and heavier.

Gu Ping kept standing by and watching, and didn't say much, just came over and asked, "Aunt Qing, is there anything else you want me to do?" ”

"Oh, no."

"Then it's time for me to go back. The ship is still waiting. ”

"Won't you take a break?"

"No, there's a lot going on in the barracks."

After saying that, he bowed his hand to me, smiled and glanced at Li'er, and then turned to leave.

When they were all gone, I gently closed the courtyard door, but saw Li'er standing behind me, but her eyes were staring at the silk handkerchief in my hand, and said, "Mother, I want to see it." ”

I handed her the handkerchief.

It was a milky white silk handkerchief, the luster was warm, the hand was soft, and the corner of the silk handkerchief was embroidered with a red plum, although it was small, but it was lifelike.

In Rue Xiang's situation, such a silk handkerchief is a very valuable thing, and she actually gave it to Li'er, and it was really her heart, but it was a pity that her mind was trampled on by my daughter so rudely.

Thinking of this, I looked at my daughter, who liked the handkerchief very much, wiped it on her cheek, and said with a smile: "Mother, this flower is so beautiful." It's better than the embroidery girl in the house. ”

I smiled and didn't speak, and led her back to the house.

Although Gu Ping had already packed up his things, there were still some things that needed to be cleaned up by myself, so I took off the decent clothes on my body, put on a neat coarse cloth dress, and began to clean up up and down. Li'er kept sitting on the stool, watching me go about my business, and I didn't say anything.

Just when I swept the ground inside and outside, and made the bed in the back room, I was already tired and sweaty, my waist couldn't stand up, and I was holding on to the wall and panting. ”

I smiled, "Hmm. ”

"Then take a break."

"Okay."

I sat on the edge of the bed with her arms pulled by her arms, and she climbed onto the bed and knelt beside me, carefully wiping my sweat with the silk handkerchief.

Looking at her intimate appearance, I suddenly felt my heart soften.

This is still my daughter, her nature is still good, but she is still too young, and she can't tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil.

I thought about it for a while, and said softly: "Li'er, just now my mother asked you to call someone aunt because that person is your elder." She is indeed different from your Aunt Ruoshi and Aunt Zitong, but this is the politeness you should have. ”

Li'er's hand wiping my sweat paused for a moment, and pouted: "She's so torn." ”

I smiled and said, "That mother, is she dressed now?" ”

"Uh...... Break. ”

"Could it be that if you wear it in tatters, your mother is not a mother?"

"No, it's not."

"Then if someone else is dressed in torn, can you be rude?"

“…… No. ”

"Besides," I continued, "your Aunt Ruoshi is well dressed, but do you see them weaving and embroidering themselves?" ”

"Nope."

"But Aunt Rue will, you see the flowers on this handkerchief, she embroidered them with a thread."

Li'er looked at the lifelike red plum with wide eyes, showed a look of amazement, and said, "She's so powerful." ”

"Yes, in fact, her craftsmanship is very good, but the flowers she embroiders and the cloth she weaves have to be sold for money, pay taxes, buy rice and vegetables, and support herself. And your Aunt Ruoshi and them have received their tax money, so that they can wear such good clothes, eat delicious food, and build a big house. Li'er, you can't make beautiful clothes yourself, you can't embroider beautiful flowers, right? ”

“…… No. ”

"Yes, in fact, people like Aunt Rue Xiang are the ones who can really work and make good things. But you look down on her because she is not well dressed, do you think that's right? ”

I still vaguely remember these words, at the cold wind banquet in Yangzhou, at the Qingshui banquet, Pei Yuanhao said similar things to those unscrupulous businessmen, and it was also those words that deeply shocked me.

Those who are in the top position should have this degree!

And my daughter ......

I don't want to make this comparison, but I was also born in the splendid bush, Nian Shen is not like this at all, it is naturally because Chang Qing's upbringing from childhood to adulthood is excellent, so that Nian Shen can be taught so well, and my daughter, if she meets me like this, I am afraid that I will have to suffer in the cold palace for a long time.

I don't want her to be prosperous and rich, nor do I want her to soar.

I just ask her to be kind and kind.

There was a look of confusion and bewilderment on her little face, but somewhat, I knew she was listening.

After being silent for a long time, Li'er slowly raised her head to look at me, with a little puzzled look on her face, and said to me: "Mother, I seem to understand." ”

I smiled and stroked the top of her head: "It's okay if you don't understand, my mother will teach you slowly." But what you have to understand is that you have to be a good, polite good boy, okay? ”

"Well, Li'er knows."

I smiled softly, hugged her and kissed her on the forehead.

The days that followed, as I had dreamed before.

Calm and peaceful.

With my daughter by my side, even ordinary days will let me taste the sweetness from every drop, as if I made her a bowl of sugar water eggs every morning, measured her height on the wall, every time I grew taller, she would jump with joy, and I smiled like honey.

Li'er, with some of the squeamishness of the eldest lady, often has trouble with me, the bed is too small, the teacup is too broken, the food is not delicious, and there is no one to serve.

At this time, I have to spend a lot of effort to keep myself from getting angry and teach her slowly.

At the beginning, she would also cry and splash, and even drop things, I slowly figured out her temper, she cried and let her cry, and the broken things were finished and then settled with her after the autumn, and broke a palm.

Slowly, she lost her temper and didn't dare to drop things, slowly, she cried for a shorter and shorter time, and then learned to be angry, and ran behind the door to ignore me when she was angry, but if I took out a special snack of her own, she would run out like a little mouse that smelled the fragrance of oil, snorted and ran out, and then hugged me to eat.

This child is really well-behaved, teach her something, even if she doesn't understand, she will think, to slowly taste, although her temper is not good (maybe really like me, but also like her father), but the child's upbringing was not a matter of one day or two, I just hope that God can give me more peaceful days like this, more, so that my daughter grows slower and better.

At noon that day, I lay on the bed and fanned her with a fan in my hand, took a nap with her, rolled over for a while, and muttered: "Mother, the bed is so small." ”

I smiled and opened my arms: "Mother's arms are smaller, do you want to come?" ”

She pouted and looked at me for a moment, then suddenly grinned and slipped into my arms.

I also smiled, one hand held her in my arms, the other hand fanned her cold, and after a while her eyelids began to fight, and as the fan swayed, she slowly closed and fell asleep.

It's hotter in the summer, and I can't sleep well in my arms so hot. But because of this strange environment, she became more and more attached to me, and she had to be in my arms to fall asleep, which also made me closer to her relationship. When she fell asleep, I carefully pulled my arm out, laid her flat on the bed, and continued to fan her.

When she had fallen asleep, I carefully chased away the mosquitoes, put the tent down, and went out into the yard to clean the dishes and chopsticks used for lunch.

While I was washing, I heard a voice from outside: "Light? ”

Looking out, it's rue.

She walked over with a smile, looked at the hidden door over there, and smiled, "Li'er slept?" ”

"Hmm."

"I brought her some candy."

"Hey, you don't want to break the bank again."

"It's okay, Gou Er went to work, and the owner gave it to me."

Ever since we settled down in Jixiang Village, Rue Xiang has often come over to help me. Gu Ping frightened Gou Er like that day, and now he is much more honest, he doesn't dare to beat his wife casually, and he also goes out to work seriously to earn some money, so that their family is also a lot more stable, and Rue Xiang and I are closer.

I took it gratefully, but said apologetically: "Li'er was so rude when I first saw you, and you were so kind to her." ”

She hurriedly said, "Don't say that. Children are not sensible, but she came to my house today to watch me weave and said that I am very good. ”

"Really?" I was secretly surprised: "I said that she went to a wild place this morning and didn't come back for a long time, so she went to your house." ”

"I asked her if she wanted to learn in the future, and she said that she must learn from me and knit beautiful clothes to wear by herself."

"Ha ......"

She and I both laughed, and after laughing, she said with a hint of melancholy, "Unfortunately, my craft is almost no longer wanted." ”

"Huh? What's going on? ”

I turned my head to see Rue Xiang look worried, there were faint wrinkles between my eyebrows, and when I asked, I sighed lightly and said, "Originally, I didn't earn much money from the work of the embroidery workshop in the Qishan Village Market, but I had no problem supporting my family." But recently, the boss of the embroidery workshop didn't plan to do it anymore and wanted to leave here. ”

"Why?"

"Why else, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is going to be a war, and those who have a little bit of assets are actually gone a long time ago, and we poor people have no way to live wherever we go, so it is better to stay in the old place."

My eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Regarding the war, everyone's perception is different, but the pain caused by the war is the same for the vast majority of ordinary people, looking at Ruxiang's worried look, I have no way to persuade her otherwise, only asking: "If the boss doesn't do it, you can still take the job?" ”

She smiled bitterly and said: "We embroidery girls are all soft-spoken, who is willing to hand over the work to us, besides, the boss of the embroidery workshop has to mortgage a lot of silver money to get the material every time he takes a job, how can we have this money." ”

"Oh......"

"Now there is a boss Wang, he has a very urgent job in his hands, who knows that Boss Gao suddenly said that he would not do it, he is also in a hurry, these days he is running to the embroidery workshop, just to persuade Boss Gao to continue to do it."

"That's ......"
