"Loach, how is your brother doing?"

"My father and mother said that it was not my brother, but my mother promised to give me a little brother in the future."

Gou Yu still doesn't understand what's going on, Xuhui has already nodded, Dad Li always wants Cheng's mother to have another sister, it seems that Loach's mother also wants to give birth to a baby.

"I really want to eat popsicles."

The loach glanced at the soda bottle and suddenly said, Xuhui didn't speak, he knew that what the loach wanted to eat was not a popsicle, but a soda, but a bottle of soda, half of him, half of the dog, where is there still a share of loaches.

"Sister Lele, is the soda delicious?"

Seeing that Xuhui ignored him, Loach rolled his eyes, looking at the half bottle of soda in Li Le's hand, Li Le's eyes widened: "It's a senior, you have to call me aunt." ”

Loach: I didn't drink the "......" soda, and I was a generation shorter for no reason.

Xuhui looked at the dejected appearance of the loach, and couldn't help but take out some firecrackers from his pocket and hand them to him, which Li's father bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives for them to play.

When the loach saw the firecrackers, he ran to the kitchen stove and pulled out a small wooden stick, and the top of the small wooden stick was still bubbling with flames, and several children lit one firecracker after another, laughing happily.

After eating the pig-killing dish, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, and on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Li family moved the dinner table to Xuhui's grandmother's house, and the whole family gathered around the dining table to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Grandma Xuhui can now sit up half-leaning on the pillow, but she can't eat yet, so Mother Li sits on the kang, holding a rice bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other to feed the old lady.

Xuhui looked at the pork on the dinner table, boiled chicken, stewed goose, steamed carp, dumplings, Chinese New Year's Eve rice was a rich mess, his nose was sour, he only saved Xiao Cheng Li once, Cheng's mother regarded herself as her own son.

Not only did she feed herself, wear new clothes, but she could also go to school, and even her grandmother, who was lying down and couldn't move, enjoyed the love of her son and daughter-in-law, who was not her son and daughter-in-law, but was better than her son and daughter-in-law.

He is very unlucky, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and he is very lucky, he has a grandmother who loves him, and a new father and mother who are willing to raise him, and a grandfather Ye who teaches him to read.

Just after 12 o'clock in the evening, Li Huan set off firecrackers, and the crackling sound of firecrackers alarmed the villagers, which was the first time that Li Huan had set off firecrackers with confidence in more than 20 years.

The villagers who were guarding the year heard the sound of firecrackers in the village chief's house, and they all followed behind and set off firecrackers.

Cheng Qiao sat by the door of the guest hall with Xiao Cheng Li, who was awakened, looking up at the starry sky, the stars were shining, and a crescent moon had climbed up the high slope, shining coldly on the earth.

Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it has been the first day of the first year of the seventy-second year, and it has been two years since she was reborn, and these two years have been very difficult, thinking about how to take revenge every day.

Now that the enemy is dead, walking, and prison, she worshiped Ye Jun as her master, accepted Xuhui as her godson, and her own man even sat in the position of village head, and her rebirth made many things deviate.

It was these deviations that not only did not make Cheng Qiao's heart settle down, but she had to be more vigilant every day, as long as she didn't leave Xiangyang Village, she didn't dare to relax.

But leaving Xiangyang Village is not something that can be done casually now, in this era of letters of introduction everywhere, it is almost a dream to leave with a delay.

In particular, Ye Jun's identity is more sensitive, and he can hardly take a step out of Xiangyang Village, and Li Huan is the village head, so it is impossible to leave at all.

"Coincidentally, do you miss your father, after the New Year, we will take our son to see your father."

After Li Huan finished setting off the firecrackers, seeing Cheng Qiao's languishing look, she thought that she was thinking about Cheng Liguo, so she hurriedly promised.

Cheng Qiao's heart moved, yes, it's still the season of cat winter, and there are generally no major events in the village, so it's better to follow Li Huan to the Hexi Corridor to see how Dad is doing now.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, I want to go too."

Li Le, who was wearing a new dress and had two red-headed flowers, interjected happily, Li Huan waved his hand angrily, and while going, he had to follow everything, without eyes.

Li Le was unhappy, and Xuhui hurriedly took out colorful fruity candy balls from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Le's mouth, sweet mouth, sweet sweetheart.

Mother Li smiled and took out several large plates that had been prepared a long time ago, including a few white rabbit toffee, sorghum gummies with a layer of fine skin, croquettes and fried noodles.

There are also agate-like red frozen flower red fruits, orange-red frozen persimmons and black hard frozen pears, these three kinds of frozen fruits are placed in a large basin, melted with cold water, and a bite is cool and refreshing.

Peanuts, melon seeds, pine nuts and hazelnuts are picked by children in the mountains, and this dried fruit is not uncommon in Xiangyang Village, and there will be many of them in every household.

"Lele, don't stare at your second brother and sister-in-law, come and help your mother make dumplings."

"Okay."

Li Le went to wash his hands sullenly and helped wrap the dumplings together, Cheng Qiao smiled and threw Xiao Cheng Li to Li Huan, and went to Grandma Chen's room to help her with acupuncture.

"Grandma Chen, do you feel it in your legs now?"

"Yes, it hurts a lot at night, but fortunately, the dog, no, Xuhui is well-behaved and sensible, help me use a hot towel, it's much better."

Cheng Qiao nodded, returned to his room, took out a hot water bottle, poured hot water into it and handed it to Grandma Chen: "Grandma Chen, change the hot water when you hurt at night, don't use hot towels, it's troublesome to go one trip after another." ”

"Qiao, thank you."

"Grandma Chen, you can't say that, if it weren't for Xuhui, Xiao Cheng Li's life would be gone."

Grandma Chen nodded, and shook her head again, everything is fate, I was always worried about what the little grandson would do after she died, but now I am relieved, with Cheng Qiao and Li Huan here, the little grandson's life will not be sad.

"Coincidentally, these are the money I saved for CIFI, and CIFI has his father's subsidy, ten yuan a month, and we save these in addition to our daily expenses."

Cheng Qiao couldn't help but feel sad when she saw the wad of money in Grandma Chen's hand, but she always felt that something was wrong, CIFI had her father's subsidy, but what about her mother's.

"Grandma Chen, didn't Xuhui's parents all sacrifice?"

"Hey, it is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but since I live with your little grandson, let me tell you the truth, Xuhui's mother is not dead."

"What, it's not dead, isn't it ...... in the village?"

"Yes, CIFI's mother was in a fuss about divorce not long after giving birth to CIFI, so his father asked to go to war...... Anyway, when I'm dead, you don't tell Xuhui. ”

Cheng Qiao nodded, but pushed the money back, telling his grandmother that all the money was given to Xuhui, which was what he deserved, and as for himself, he should raise Xuhui.

Xuhui leaned against the door, listening to the voices of the two people inside, tears fell uncontrollably, it turned out that his own mother did not die, but became someone's daughter-in-law.
