Hu family.

Hu Xiaoyun was sewing Fan Jin's already tattered padded jacket at this time, Fan Jin and Li Huoya were around the stove, drinking freshly boiled tea to warm up, and watching the fire by the way to prevent the rice and pork rib soup in the pot from burning out.

Sitting next to the stove, Fan Jin, who was wearing a single coat, was under the reflection of the stove fire, and his yellow and thin face had a trace of blood, and at this time, he was looking blankly at Hu Xiaoyun, who had taken off his blood-stained apron and put on his usual clothes, and sewed up his already tattered cotton jacket with a stitch and a thread.

"Fan Jin, how do I feel that your complexion has become better?"

Li Huoya looked at Fan Jin, who was looking at Hu Xiaoyun blankly, and always felt that after beating Ximen Qing, Fan Jin's temperament seemed to have changed greatly.

"Hey, Fan Jin, Fan Ergouzi, what's the matter with you, look at Sister Xiaoyun looking stupid?"

"Wait for you to marry Sister Xiaoyun and pass the door, see enough every day!"

When Hu Xiaoyun heard Li Huoya's words, she raised her head and glared at him and said, "What are you talking nonsense!" It's okay to be idle, help me see if the rice is steamed, and how salty the pork rib soup below is. ”

In the cauldron, the lower layer cooks pork rib soup, and the upper layer steams rice, killing two birds with one stone, of course, the main thing is to save firewood.

Li Huoya got up with a grin, ready to remove the lid of the pot, but unexpectedly, a scolding voice came from outside the house: "In this weather, the ghost wind blows people's cheeks and hurts." ”

"Yun'er, Daddy is back.

What was delicious to cook today, Daddy smelled the smell of radish pork rib soup! ”

"It's over! Daddy Hu is back! ”

Li Huoya's hand touched the lid of the pot, and just as he was about to open the lid, he heard Daddy Hu's voice.

Before Huoya could let go, he heard an angry shout: "Where did the thief come from, dare to come to my Hu butcher's house to eat and drink secretly!" ”

"Dad, what are you doing!"

When Butcher Hu saw Li Huoya's back, he didn't recognize who the other party was, so he was about to step forward and make a move, but he was unexpectedly scolded by Hu Xiaoyun.

Li Huoya turned around at this time, looked at Butcher Hu and said, "Daddy Hu, it's me, Li Bai." ”

"Li family boy, why are you in my house?"

Butcher Hu saw that it was Li Huoya, although he stopped, but he was still very unhappy in his heart, and he was very puzzled in his heart, why is this Li family kid here.

"Xiao Yun, what's the matter, why is the kid of the Li family here, and whose clothes are you on?"

Hu Butcher frowned, although his daughter often followed him to do business on the board, but she was a serious yellow flower girl, a good family.

Although the Li family was close to their own family before, Li Huoya and Hu Xiaoyun were also playmates when they were children.

But now that he is old and he is not at home, Hu Xiaoyun brought the man into the house, and Butcher Hu must be angry.

Hu Xiaoyun just wanted to explain, Fan Jin walked out of the pot stove, looked at Hu Butcher respectfully and said: "I've seen Daddy Hu, the clothes on Sister Yun'er's hands are the little nephew's." ”

"Fan Jin!"

Butcher Hu's roar could be heard in a radius of a mile.

"Why are you here!"

Facing Fan Jin's arrival, Butcher Hu was shocked and angry, and turned to look at his daughter and asked, "Xiao Yun, who asked you to bring Fan into the house, I'm afraid that if others are laughing at my Hu family for not having a tutor?" ”

"You must know that the Fan family has not given a dowry, you have not passed the door of the Fan family, and you are still the daughter of my Hu butcher, not his Fan Jin!"

"Also, Fan Jin, let me tell you, that marriage contract is just your father and me, and Li Zhuzi drank too much wine back then, and the things that were set are not true."

"What is your intention to take advantage of my absence to bring the Li family boy to my house?

Spread it out and let others know that my Xiao Yun took advantage of my absence to cook at home with other men, what kind of system it has become! ”

Hu Butcher looked at Fan Jin, his face was full of anger, and he vented his anger in anger.

He has always looked down on Fan Jin, first, Fan Jin's parents died, and the Fan family and the Hu family have no intersection over the years.

The second is that Fan Jin is studying behind closed doors, like a fool, he has no ability to take care of himself, and he doesn't know if there is a second meal after eating one meal.

These years have not been based on the past feelings, turning a blind eye to Hu Xiaoyun's relief, Fan Jin has long since returned to the West.

Hu Butcher has been thinking about breaking the marriage contract, but he is afraid that Hu Xiaoyun will marry and live a hard life for a lifetime!

So on weekdays, Hu Xiaoyun was not allowed to visit Fan Jin, wanting to break off their childhood friendship.

However, Hu Xiaoyun just looked down on Fan Jin for reading a dead book, not on Fan Jin, but still supported Fan Jin in his heart to gain fame.

In addition, the two were childhood sweethearts when they were young, and their love is deep.

If it weren't for the death of Fan Jin's parents, the relationship between the two families would probably be closer, and it would be possible to marry in the past, so as not to turn against each other like now.

Hu Xiaoyun has always kept the marriage contract set back then in her heart, and wants to wait for Fan Jin to be admitted to a child or be older, earn some money, repair the house, use it as a new house, and marry herself when the time comes.

But now Butcher Hu's words directly negated Fan Jin and this marriage contract, which made Hu Xiaoyun very uncomfortable to hear.

"Dad, what are you talking about!"

"Are you drunk again, talking nonsense!"

"What's wrong with Fan coming into my house, who dares to gossip? And what right to gossip! ”

"If I had known, I would have slashed him with a knife!"

Hu Xiaoyun is not a pampered woman, her temper has come up, and Hu Butcher can't suppress it.

"My good girl, you are confused!"

"Fan Jin, this kid, he-"

"He's nothing, just a nerd who reads dead books, you-"

Butcher Hu looked at his daughter helplessly, not knowing what to say.

The girl has grown up, and she has suffered her all these years, and she has followed her to show up outside to do a board business, and some people behind her back say that he has no tutor and let his daughter do pork business.

But Hu Butcher can't help it, when Hu Xiaoyun and his mother gave birth to a second child, because of dystocia, both mother and child died.

Hu Butcher has not married another person over the years, and he still can't let go of Hu Xiaoyun and his mother in his heart, and he is afraid that his stepmother will treat Hu Xiaoyun badly.

With the advanced age, this pork business has been good in the past two years, and it is getting better and better.

There was no way, and the bearded butcher, who was short of manpower, had to ask his daughter to help.

In Hu Butcher's heart, Hu Xiaoyun is the same as himself, with a straightforward personality, what to say, and he has the strength to do his work, even some men are not as good as Hu Xiaoyun.

And the things at home are also handled by Hu Xiaoyun, sewing and mending, and cooking and hygiene at home all depend on Hu Xiaoyun.

Hu Butcher was also very distressed about Hu Xiaoyun and regarded him as a baby, although he scolded Hu Xiaoyun because of Fan Jin, he didn't take any action.

The strong Hu Xiaoyun has never complained about the hardships of life since she became sensible, but often cares about Hu Butcher's body.

Such a precious daughter, how do you say that Butcher Hu is willing to marry Fan Jin, a poor scholar who has no father and no mother, and his family is poor and white?

As soon as Hu Xiaoyun got angry, Hu Butcher stopped squeaking because he felt sorry for his daughter.

Fan Jin was not angry either, because Fan Jin also knew the reason why Butcher Hu looked down on him.

If a person wants others to look up to him, he can't expect others to give him, but he has to show his own ability to conquer the other party.

"Now that Daddy Hu is back, the little nephew will be relieved to leave.

Let's go! ”

After Fan Jin said to Hu Butcher without being humble or arrogant, he came to Hu Xiaoyun, took his clothes and thanked him.

"Thank you, Sister Yun."

The two looked at each other, Fan Jin looked at Hu Xiaoyun full of tenderness, a woman who can protect herself in this feudal era and confront her father, how much courage and love does it take.

"I'll prove myself to Daddy Hu!"

Fan Jin looked at Hu Xiaoyun, and the perseverance in his eyes conveyed his heart to Hu Xiaoyun.

Hu Xiaoyun watched Fan Jin put on the clothes that had not yet been sewn, and went out with Li Huoya barefoot, feeling unhappy.

When Butcher Hu saw Fan Jin and Li Huoya leaving, he closed the door angrily, looked at the backs of Fan Jin and Li Huoya, and scolded a few words.

After returning to the house, Hu Butcher was also ready to comfort his daughter, he was all for her good, and she would understand in the future.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoyun was not sad at all, and continued to cook in the pot, as if the incident just now had passed.

"Yun'er, don't be angry with your father, Fan Jin, that kid, is destined not to become a talent."

"Moreover, your marriage contract was also made when you were a child, and now that the Fan family has passed away, you can't take it seriously, don't bring Fan into my Hu family next time, others will really gossip at that time!"

Butcher Hu sat down, drank a cup of tea, and said bitterly.

Hu Xiaoyun was tasting the raw and cooked food, and when she heard Butcher Hu say this, she turned her head, looked at Butcher Hu with an expressionless face and said, "Dad, I will never marry someone else in my life!" ”

"As long as Fan Jin marries me, I will marry him! As for the repentance of marriage, Daddy, just talk about it at home, don't talk nonsense outside, I'm afraid that others will laugh at my Hu family's rebellion, and I have no reputation! ”

"You! My dear girl, why are you—"

Hu Butcher looked at his daughter, not knowing what to say, Hu Xiaoyun's face was expressionless, and his words were full of determination, not like a joke at all.

"Tell me, what's so good about that kid Fan Jin, it's just a poor scholar who reads dead books, Yun'er-you!"

"Alas! Why can't you think about it! ”

Hu Butcher couldn't help sighing, didn't know what to say, and drank a pot of water angrily.

Hu Xiaoyun covered the pot, looked at Hu Butcher and said, "Daddy, Fan Jin is much better than you think!" ”

"He is a real man, and he is my future husband Hu Xiaoyun!"

"Dad, you also know your daughter's character, there are some things that will not change in this life!"

Hu Butcher doesn't know how his daughter became like this, and he usually doesn't care so much about Fan Jin, why did he come out of this situation when he wasn't at home in the morning?

"Yun'er, sit down, Daddy asks you, what do you like about Fan Jin, Daddy is also good for you, if you really marry into the Fan family, this life will be ruined!"

If you can't be strong, you will come soft.

Hu Xiaoyun sat down, looked at Butcher Hu, and told Butcher Hu about Ximenqing teasing him an hour ago, and Fan Jin beating Ximenqing violently.

When he heard the sentence "Ximenqing bullied my wife, I want his dog's life", Butcher Hu was also silent.

"Dad, I believe that Fan Jin will definitely be able to go to high school in the future, even if he can't go to high school, we will get married, and the husband and wife will be able to live a better life."

"Daddy, don't talk about Fan Jin's bad things in the future, if it weren't for Fan Jin today, my daughter would probably not-"

Speaking of this, Hu Xiaoyun suddenly stopped talking, because she found that her old father was already in tears.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and Butcher Hu choked up: "It's Daddy who is useless, I'm sorry for you, my Yun'er!" ”

"Daddy."

Hu Xiaoyun's tears also wet her eyes, no matter what outsiders say about her father's badness, snobbery or something, but as a daughter, she knows that her father has always cared about her the most.

The father and daughter in the house opened their hearts, but Fan Jin and Li Huoya outside the house ran home against the north wind, and the cold north wind poured into their clothes, and the two of them shivered in the cold.

Back to Fan Jin's house.

Li Huoya shrank his body, looked at Fan Jin and said, "It's so cold, Fan Jin!" ”

Fan Jin was washing his feet with water from the water tank at this time, but he found that there was no water in the tank, which was really embarrassing.

"Haha, you lazy, and you didn't go out to fetch water!"

"Fan Jin, you have to work hard in the future, I can see that after this incident, Sister Xiaoyun's attitude towards you has changed greatly!"

"I used to pity you, but now I like you, you have to work hard, you can't live up to Sister Xiaoyun."

Fan Jin nodded and said with a smile: "I know it in my heart, Huoya, thank you."

If it weren't for you this time, I would probably still be sleeping lazy today, and Sister Yun would have been bullied by that Ximenqing! ”

"What are these words, who are the two of us. You put on your shoes and come home with me for dinner. ”

"I'm not going, you can go."

"Okay, then I'll go home and eat, and you can bring you some when I'm done."

Now that it was noon, Huoya was about to go home for dinner, and Huoya went back after Fan Jin refused.

Fan Jin was the only one left in the empty room, looking at the room with four walls, sitting on the bed and beginning to ponder.

In this short period of an hour, although Fan Jin accepted that he had crossed the facts, he also understood his identity.

But Fan Jin is still not clear about this world, and he needs to sort out the memories in his head.
