The Shen family and Lin Youxiang's family are separated by a few families, both of which are in the west of the village.

When passing by the gate of Lin Youxiang's courtyard, she subconsciously glanced into the courtyard, and happened to collide with Lin Xu, who was about to go out.

It is estimated that she was beaten too hard yesterday, and when she suddenly saw her, Lin Xu was a little stunned, and subconsciously wanted to turn her head back.

But in the end, he held back, and even spat in Lin Xi's direction.

Lin Xi couldn't help but chuckle: "Lin Xu, you are a pig, don't remember to eat or not." ”

Lin Xu stomped his foot angrily, turned around and went back to the house.

Four or five houses from Lin Youxiang's house are the Shen family, with a courtyard gate made of neat wooden boards, and the yard is very clean and orderly.

There are three houses on one side and two adobe wings on the left. On the right-hand side against the wall is a neatly stacked stack of wood, and near the eaves is a half-man-high chicken coop.

The head of the family, Shen Hongshan, has a total of four sons, the eldest son Shen Bin and the second son Shen Chengdu have already started a family. The third child, Shen Kang, has been a soldier in the army. In the first few years, a child was brought back, and it is said that the child's mother died in childbirth.

Later, they kissed each other twice, but before they could get married, the women all had accidents.

The name of the hard-hearted wife spread out all of a sudden, and it took several years to settle on Lin Xi.

The fourth child of the Shen family, Shen Shi, is the same age as Lin Jiancheng, and the two of them are classmates, so they have been playing very well.

Lin Xi just pushed open the courtyard door, and a five or six-year-old boy rushed out of the upper room, wearing a striped vest and shorts, with a round face and big eyes, and a tiger's head and tiger brain looked very rare.

Before Lin Xi could speak, the little boy stood up, puffed out his cheeks and glared at her, "You bad woman, what are you doing at my house?" ”

Seeing that he was full of hostility, Lin Xi immediately guessed that he should be Shen Kang's son, but he was not angry, he half-squatted down, supported his knees with both hands, and asked with what he thought was the sweetest and gentlest smile: "You are Shen Xiaofei, right?" ”

Shen Xiaofei didn't eat her, and raised his hand to throw the straw grasshopper he was holding in his hand on her face.

"My aunt told me, you vixen are here to rob my father, you want to be my stepmother, you are a bad woman!"

Hey, this kid isn't done yet!

Lin Xi turned his eyes around the courtyard and found that there was no one else, so he stood up and deliberately said fiercely: "What your aunt said is so right, I tell you that I am a bad person." And it's terrible to beat people, if you are disobedient, when I become your stepmother, I will hang you up and beat you every day! ”

Shen Xiaofei really showed a frightened expression.

But soon he called out aggrievedly: "Dad." ”

"It's useless to call your dad, your dad will have to listen to me when the time comes, and if you are so disrespectful, I will ......"

"What about you?"

A low, lazy voice sounded from behind him, and Lin Xi's spine stiffened.

She turned around slowly, and saw a tall figure standing at the door of the wing.

There are drops of water hanging from his neat head, a white towel on his shoulders, a white hurdle vest on it, and muscles knotted on his wheat-colored skin.

A pair of large gray pants on the lower half of the body, and a pair of pull-up boards on the feet.

At first glance, I was just getting up and washing.

Seeing the familiar figure in his memory again, Lin Xi had mixed feelings for a while.

In her previous life, because of her repentance, Shen Kang never married a wife again. Later, when she was almost burned to death by Zhao Xingxing, it was the person in front of her who saved her regardless of the danger to her life.

Without Shen Kang's careful care and encouragement, she would not have recovered so quickly.

It's a pity that one wrong step is the wrong step, even if you know his intentions? She has already changed beyond recognition, how can she be worthy of him?

"Dad, it's her, she said she was going to beat me."

The crisp voice of a child shatters her memories.

Faced with Shen Xiaofei's accusation, Lin Xi reacted quickly, and immediately answered with a smile: "This kid just praised me, his little mouth is sweet, the more I look at it, the more I like it, so I tease him." ”

After all, Shen Xiaofei is only a few years old, where is Lin Xi's heart and eyes, and he immediately shouted unhappily: "Who praised you?" You're a bad woman vixen. ”

"Shen Xiaofei."

Hearing his father's warning, Shen Xiaofei pursed his mouth aggrievedly, but he still walked to Lin Xi's side with his short legs, and reluctantly said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”

Lin Xi accepted it when he saw it, raised his hand and touched his little head, and said very gently and generously, "It's okay." ”

Looking at her kind smile like an old mother, Shen Xiaofei's heart was furious, and under his father's gaze, he slipped through the wall and ran out to find his eldest brother and second brother.

Wait until you find an ally to clean up this bad woman.

Seeing the child running away, Lin Xi turned his head and asked, "Brother, when did you come back?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Kang's eyebrows unconsciously raised.

"I came back in the middle of the night last night." As he spoke, he turned around and went back to the house, took a teapot and a toothbrush, squatted under the eaves and began to brush his teeth.

Lin Xi felt that it was a little awkward to stand dry, so he handed over the white sugar in his hand: "This is the white sugar I bought in the town, and my mother asked me to send it over." ”

Just as she was about to put the sugar on the windowsill and leave, Shen Kang brushed her teeth three or two times, pulled the towel around her neck and wiped it casually, and then got up and walked to her side.

Shen Kang was very tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, almost a head taller than Lin Xi.

The strong sense of oppression made Lin Xi subconsciously make a swallowing motion.

"Do you have something to do today?"

After a question without a beginning or end, Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "No." ”

"Wait a minute." After Shen Kang took the sugar and dropped a sentence, he went to the upper house in three or two steps.

Old Mrs. Shen heard the voice and asked who was coming in the house.

"Lin Xi came to deliver sugar. Milk, I'll go out and come back in the afternoon. ”

Old Mrs. Shen came out unhappily: "Why do you want to go out again when you come back just now?" ”

Of the three granddaughters-in-law, none of them are her favorites, and they are all decided by the unfilial daughter-in-law.

The son also followed one nostril to exhale, so she didn't plan to go out knowing that Lin Xi was coming.

"Take Lin Xi to the town, and ask her to help pick out a piece of fabric and come back to make you a new dress."

Old Mrs. Shen's unhappiness disappeared in an instant, and she smiled toothlessly: "I saw these grandchildren in the family early on, they belong to your most filial piety, and your mother gave birth to you ...... at the beginning."

Old Mrs. Shen was about to say more, but was interrupted by Shen Kang: "Milk, if you go late, the good material will be picked up." ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Mrs. Shen hurriedly waved her hand and urged: "Go quickly, be careful not to bask in the hot weather." ”

Shen Kang came out of the upper room, turned to the side room, and after a while, changed into a plain shirt and a pair of army green trousers, and the whole person looked handsome and straight.

"How long have you been waiting?"

Lin Xi shook his head slightly, and said secretly in his heart, if it is for you, it is worth waiting for as long as you want.

"Brother, where are we going?"

The soft and glutinous voice was like a small brush, especially the brother, who called Shen Kang was inexplicably a little irritable.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, knocked it in the palm of his hand, and picked out one and put it in his mouth: "Go to town." ”
