Liu Lamei was very anxious, "This is our family's old house, although it is for your stepgrandmother to live in, but we can't ignore it." ”

Five years after the death of Mr. Tian's wife, he remarried Mrs. Tian.

When the two got married, their son Tian Changfa was over 20 years old, but he didn't have a partner yet.

In the second year, under the arrangement of Mrs. Tian, Tian Changfa married Liu Lamei, a female worker in the same factory.

Because Mrs. Tian Zhang talked about the marriage of her son Tian Changfa, the honest old man Tian was very grateful to Mrs. Tian.

Before Mr. Tian died, he asked Tian Changfa and Liu Lamei to move to the family dormitory in the factory, and let the old house with a single courtyard to Mrs. Tian and a few children she brought.

Although Tian Changfa and Liu Lamei had complaints in their hearts, they didn't want Old Man Tian to go unsteadily, so they reluctantly agreed.

Tian Miaoxiu said, "Mom, so what? Have you forgotten what your grandmother beat you up just now? She has beaten you, and you are so active in helping, she will not thank you for your help, she will only say that you are afraid of her and take the initiative to please her. ”

Mrs. Tian is very eccentric, and she took the initiative to be kind to her, and she said that she was scolding her.

Not appreciative at all.

Besides, a few years later, the alley and the nearby towel factory were all owned by one person.

The old house of the Tian family will be defeated by Mrs. Tian's grandchildren and sold to that person.

And that person was the one she didn't want to see.

In her previous life, she never set foot here again until she died.

Whether this yard is good or bad, she can't control it at all.

"Say whatever she says about me, but if the house burns down, your dad will blame me." Liu Lamei was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

Tian Miaoxiu said again, "If the fire is big, she will open the door and call someone to help put out the fire, but she doesn't open the courtyard door to call people now, only she is complaining, which means that the fire is not big and she can extinguish it herself." ”

In fact, in her previous life, Mrs. Tian's kitchen didn't burn badly.

Only two bundles of firewood were half burned, and the walls were somewhat blackened.

The stove and roof, all in good condition.

Because the place where Mrs. Tian piled up the firewood was leaking, it rained for half a month, and most of the firewood was wet.

So the smoke was very great, but there was no flame rising.

Liu Lamei frowned, "This ...... Do you really leave it alone? ”

"She doesn't ask to come to us, don't care!" Tian Miaoxiu pulled Liu Lamei's arm tightly.

While the two were arguing, the courtyard door on their side suddenly opened from the inside.

Mrs. Tian, who had a black and unkempt face, rushed towards Tian Miaoxiu and Liu Lamei angrily waving her arms.

"You two wolf-hearted dogs, my house is on fire, and I shouted so loudly, didn't you hear me? Don't even go to help? ”

Liu Lamei hurriedly protected her daughter behind her, and stretched out her arm to stop Mrs. Tian, "Mom, the courtyard gate ...... The gate is closed, so we can't get in. ”

Tian Miaoxiu raised her lips and sneered, look, Mrs. Tian is reasonable on the left and right, and they don't pay attention!

When they were gone, they were so ruthless.

Now they say they don't take the initiative to help!

So what did you do with all the closing of the door so aggressively?

Should!

"Ahem, ahem......" Mrs. Tian coughed a few times, rubbed her red eyes, and pointed to the backyard, "Now that the door is open, you guys go and put out the fire!" ”

Liu Lamei didn't think too much, answered, and walked to the courtyard with a "......".

But Tian Miaoxiu grabbed Liu Lamei again, "Mom, how can you put out the fire alone?" I'm looking at the luggage here, you go and call someone to help! ”

Only Liu Lamei went to the backyard alone, and Mrs. Tian didn't know how to wronged Liu Lamei.

She didn't dare to guarantee that Mrs. Tian would say fair things and do fair things.

Mrs. Tian didn't object, "Then why don't you call someone?" Right now, go now! ”

After she finished speaking, she ran into the courtyard again.

Liu Lamei frowned, "Miao Xiu, this ...... Where are you going to call someone at this time? I'm all at work, so I'll go into the backyard by myself, right? ”

It's not that Liu Lamei doesn't want to find someone, she's just afraid of being laughed at.

Fired from the factory, she is now ashamed to see people.

The people living in this alley are either the employees of the towel factory or the families of the workers.

"There are always a few people at home, Mom, didn't Second Uncle Liu ask for leave to repair the water pipes at home? Find him to help, there is strength in numbers. Tian Miaoxiu pointed to a small courtyard in front of five or six households.

Although it is now working time, some residents still have elderly people and children on vacation, and occasionally see a few employees who are resting or working shifts.

Liu Lamei hesitated, "Your second uncle Liu finally asked for leave to go home...... this must not delay his affairs?" ”

"Second Uncle Liu only left for a while, so it doesn't matter." Tian Miaoxiu urged, "If Mom hesitates any longer, Grandma's house will have to burn down." ”

If it weren't for the fact that this house was the place where her father was born, she was afraid that her father would blame her for being indifferent, so Tian Miaoxiu would not have bothered to take care of the fire.

Liu Lamei looked at the smoke that was getting stronger and stronger in the direction of the backyard, she gritted her teeth, hardened her head, and walked towards Liu Ergui's house.

Liu Ergui, who was repairing the water pipe in the kitchen, had already seen the smoke coming from Mrs. Tian's house, but he ignored it.

Seeing that his distant cousin Liu Lamei had come to help, he put down the tools in his hand and said to his daughter-in-law that he wanted to go to Tian's house to have a look.

Aunt Liu was lying in the bedroom to raise the fetus, I didn't know if it was a fire, and sent her eldest son from junior high school to follow, "Then go, go early and come back early." ”

Liu Lamei took Liu Ergui and his son and walked to Mrs. Tian's house.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Liu Ergui saw Tian Miaoxiu standing under the eaves with a basin on her head, her shoulders were all wet, and there was a pile of luggage at her feet.

"It's raining so hard and you're just standing?" He shook his head and gave his umbrella to Tian Miaoxiu, "Miaoxiu, this umbrella will protect you from the rain." ”

"Thank you, Second Uncle Liu." Tian Miaoxiu smiled and nodded slightly, and called Liu Ergui's son "Brother Jianguo" again.

In her previous life, her family suffered one after another misfortunes, thanks to this distant cousin and cousin, who helped her deal with all the white things in the family.

How to stop the soul and where to bury it, she is an unmarried woman, and she doesn't understand it at all.

It's all the father and son who run before and after, helping her to be decent.

Thinking that they were helping with these things, Tian Miaoxiu smiled and smiled, unable to laugh.

Liu Lamei looked at her daughter in the rain, her face full of guilt.

But she didn't know what to do right now.

The only two umbrellas in the family, one for the second son to take to school, and the other for the eldest daughter to buy medicine.

How could she have thought that her step-mother-in-law would ruthlessly push their mother and daughter out of the house, and wouldn't even give her the time to borrow an umbrella?

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Liu Lamei sighed embarrassedly.

"Sister Lamei, I entered the factory or you took me there, I haven't returned this great favor yet, just an umbrella, thank you for what?" Liu Ergui waved his hand and shouted to his son Liu Jianguo to walk into the courtyard, "Go and see the fire, don't burn badly." ”
