"I'm not lying."

Hua Shi shook his head solemnly and denied his words.

"You—You're just... Deceitful! ”

The little guy who is not good at words was choked by her thick-skinned and cheeky rebuttal, and his eyes were red.

Seeing that he was about to cry, Hua Shi took two steps towards him and said, "Didn't I just tell you?" It's useless to cry. ”

She said, shaking her head.

The little guy sniffed and said aggrievedly, "But... You lie! ”

The angry little flower shadow can even say fluently the three words 'you liar'.

Hua Shi said: "If you don't say that I lied to you, how can I know." ”

Little Flower Shadow stared at her big eyes that were shining with tears, and seeing that she really didn't want to speak, or even turned around to leave, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said with difficulty:

"Mountain, hawthorn cake... And also! You... You say no! ”

When the flower was slightly bright, the bottom of the eyes crossed a trace of cunning: "I didn't lie to you, at that time I said that there is only one piece for one person, and there is no more, which is true, and the hawthorn cakes I just took out were originally left for the evening to eat, and they are not eaten now, so it is still a piece for one person, and there is nothing to deceive." ”

Xiaohuaying couldn't understand what she said, so she only grabbed one word, and the tears that were already in her mouth fell down.

"Uh......h You, you give it all, he! ”

He whimpered, looking at her with teary eyes, full of accusations.

Flower time has a little headache, and finally coaxed the little flower shadow, and behind the hall, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

When I turned my head to look, I saw Hua Li walking over with red eyes.

Hua Li looked at her with complicated and tangled eyes, obviously crying just now, and her whole face was obviously red.

It's just that at this moment, his emotions calmed down, and the accusations and resentments in his eyes all disappeared, and there was a little more complicated entanglement.

Hua Shi glanced behind her, buried her head, rubbed the small shadow in her eyes with a pair of small hands, and turned to look at Hua Li, who had almost walked in front of her.

Hua Xiao, who was walking slowly, also walked out from the direction of the hall, but she did not step forward, but stood at the entrance, blinking, looking this way.

Hua Shi looked at the two sisters and brothers, and finally returned to Hua Li's body.

As soon as Hua Li raised his head, he met Hua Shi's clear eyes, and he could clearly see his small reflection in those clear pupils.

Somehow, when he saw the flowers, his emotions were a little irrepressible, his nose was sore, and he cried again.

Hua Shi waited for a while, but instead of waiting for Hua to leave his mouth, he looked at him with red eyes and wanted to cry and stop.

Fang just left, obviously he had something to say, but at this time, somehow, the emotions came up, and the tears flowed......

She sighed silently, and the residual anger in her heart slowly subsided, but it was not visible on her face:

"Are you trying to say something?" She asked, "If you still want to make trouble, forget it, I don't want to hear it." ”

Hua Li carried her on her back, sneaked into her house, and found that the little white dog was still alive, but her first reaction was to accuse and resent her, why didn't she tell him.

Hua Shi's heart turned, and he was also reacted by him, causing a nameless fire.

She didn't care about his young age, so she was used to him, and reprimanded him with a cold face.

It turned out to be his own mistake, he had to bring the little white dog back, regardless of the consequences, knowing that nine times out of ten the Li family would not agree to let him have a dog at home, he stubbornly brought it back, and the consequences can be imagined......

If she hadn't had a spring and saved the little white dog, where would she be now......

At the age of eight or nine, it is time to understand some truth about right and wrong, if he admits his mistake in a good voice, instead of turning his head and scolding her, he will not tell him. has no remorse at all, he is too self-righteous, and after such a thing, he will only intensify and become more and more extreme......

Hua Li rubbed her eyes, her voice trembling a little: "I, I'm not... I'm sorry..., I was wrong.... ”

The air was silent for a moment, and only Hua Li's choked inhalation could be heard.

After Hua Li finished apologizing, he kept his head down, carefully wiping his tears, and didn't dare to look directly at Hua Shi.

Hua Shi paused, and after listening to his apology, his expression was indeed remorseful, and his expression softened: "Okay." ”

She waved her hand, knowing that she was wrong and that there was nothing more to say, so she didn't hold on to it anymore.

Hua Li raised her head, her reddened eyes lit up slightly, she looked at her pitifully, and hesitated to speak: "That, that little white... Can I go and see it...? ”

Cautiously and tentatively, he asked what he had always been most concerned about......

Hua Shi looked at him and muttered for a moment: "... It's up to you to behave. ”

…

After that day, another three days of calm and calm passed, and Li and Hua Ciyuan still hadn't returned.

After spending time and having enough money, I no longer saved money and was reluctant to spend money, so I took the silver money in the village in the past few days and came back with a lot of things.

Taking advantage of Li's absence, he quietly prepared the things he needed, quilts, cloth, rice, and noodles...... She was mixed in the village households, scattered to change, afraid that the change would be too much and too eye-catching.

Fortunately, in the cold winter, few people in the village will go out and walk, and most of them will stay at home, comfortably roasting the fire, and do not want to go out.

After running back and forth for two days, I also got acquainted with the huge village, and I also learned about the situation of many households in the village.

Most people's lives are rich, and the abundance she means that the villagers do not have to worry about food and clothing, and they have enough firewood hoarded at home, and they do not have to go out to collect firewood and hoard food in the cold, which is enough for them to survive this winter, so they rarely brave the wind and snow to go out.

However, there are also people who are not wealthy, and generally judge whether the chimney on the roof is smoking, if it is a fire to cook, it means that the family has rich food, if the chimney does not smoke at all, the house is cold, and even the firewood and charcoal are not burned, then this situation is similar to the flower family......

In the past two days, she also reassembled a windshield door with straw and wooden sticks, and installed the back door that opened in her house, which was modified to be more concealed than before, and could cover the gap of air leakage.

It's just that there is no opening in the house to let in the light, and the whole house is dark and dreary most of the time, even in the daytime.

In addition, she also stocked up a lot of rice and flour in the room, and she found Uncle Xie Tie again, bought an extra pot, and rebuilt the simple stove.

In the originally empty house, under the filling of the past two or three days, a lot of items and things have gradually piled up.

On the cold kang bed, there is an extra quilt, spread at the bottom, before going to bed again, heat the kang, and then lie down to sleep at night, the warm quilt can not feel the cold at all.

She didn't fall into their house, they only had two lighter quilts in the house, she ran all over the village, bought four more quilts back, spread them on the kang, so that before going to bed, the kang was hot, and she was not afraid of freezing again......

Everything seems to be going in a good direction......

"What are you doing in a daze, the pot is going to be mushy!"

Hua Xiao's clear voice suddenly came from behind the side, interrupting Hua Shi's thoughts.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly stirred the bottom of the pot with a spoon, and a sweet smell followed the thick white mist and went straight to the door.

Hua Xiao's blinking eyes were a little brighter, she put her toes on her toes, looked into the pot several times, and then squatted down again, ready to stuff a few more firewoods into it, but was stopped by Hua Shi's voice:

"No need to burn the fire anymore, it's already cooked, just bring the bowl."

Hua Shi pinched the fingertips that were not hot, and as he spoke, he carefully looked at the hawthorn sweet porridge in the pot.

These days, she likes to change her tricks and make some food, although the ingredients are still limited, but she can always change the tricks to make good food.

The first to be conquered by her cooking skills was obviously Xiaohuaying.

At this time, as long as he spends time making food for him, the little guy is on call, telling him to go east to the east, and he to go west to the west, and he is obedient and obedient.

Secondly, Hua Xiao's attitude towards her has obviously changed a lot.

She saw with her own eyes that Hua Shi earned twenty taels of silver, and she thought that Hua Shi would not take care of them, and she did not dare to think about the silver......

I never thought that after Hua Shi earned money, he also bought them a new thick quilt, several pieces of cloth, and made a new set of clothes for each of them... Although most of it was she who did it.

And when she spent money, she also bought a lot of rice and flour, three meals a day, and made all kinds of delicious food without repeating it, these three days were the most full and warmest clothes since she had an impression......

Subtly, the little girl's heart unconsciously began to tilt in the direction of the flower, and even produced a dependence that she had never noticed......

In order to see the little white dog, Hua Li has also been obedient to Hua Shi these days, and he is whatever Hua Shi says, and he is not dissatisfied at all.

And after realizing his mistake, he also knew that the little white dog was rescued by Hua Shi, and Hua Li actually remembered it in his heart, and that little twisted emotion slowly decreased a lot.

Hua Li always came to Hua Shi's side, consciously or unconsciously, and actively helped to help, after the meal, he took care of the work of washing dishes and washing pots, and when Hua Shi was busy, he was diligent as a little assistant on the side, handing plates, bowls, chopsticks, etc.

Hua Shi saw that he was behaving well, so he asked the little white dog to come out and played with him a few times, but unfortunately, the little white dog was very unfamiliar with Hua Li, and even showed rejection.

Every time Hua Li wants to touch the little white dog, the little white dog will show its claws viciously, if it weren't for Hua Shi scolding it next to him, the little white dog may really pounce on it and bite Hua Li.

Obviously, Hua Li likes small animals so much, but his physique doesn't seem to attract small animals at all, whether it is a cold black cat or a grumpy little white dog, when the flower is itchy and wants to get up, he either avoids it in disgust, or scratches him fiercely.

Hua Shi said that he couldn't help this, although Hua Li was very discouraged, but he refused to relax at all, and still thought of a way to show favor to the little white dog......

At this time, Hua Xiao heard Hua Shi say that she was going to get a bowl, and as soon as she got up to get it, she was cut off by Hua Li who walked in behind.

Hua Li trotted in with a smiling face, holding a handful of wooden bowls in his hand, "I'll bring the bowl." ”

Hua Shi stood on the side to fill the porridge, Hua Li followed closely to hand the bowl, and Hua Xiao took the hot porridge and went to the direction of the hall.

The little flower shadow guarding the kitchen door, like a little tail, followed behind Hua Xiao, looking at his hot hawthorn sweet porridge.

The wooden tables and chairs that had been placed in the center of the courtyard were not able to eat in the hollowed-out courtyard because of the snow, so it took a few people to clear the snow and move them into the spacious hall.

In the past few days, they have gathered in the hall to eat, and such a time is comfortable and pleasant......

"What kind of porridge is this? Why is it red? ”

Under the eaves, Hua Li, who walked in front of him with a steaming wooden bowl, asked.

He looked curiously at the red stuff mixed in the bright white rice porridge, and asked to himself without realizing what it was.

Smell a sweet smell......

When the flower is asked, "Hawthorn boiled porridge." ”

Hua Li was even more curious: "Hawthorn porridge? Is that sweet? Or is it sour? ”

He remembered that the hawthorn cake he made a few days ago was sour and sweet, and it was delicious......

Hanashi: "You'll know if you've tasted it later." ”

After just a few steps, Hua Li persistently asked, "Why can't you tell me now?" Belch... I think it's a little more sour to taste... Because I smell sour. ”

Flower time: ......

In the hall, Hua Xiao, who had just wiped the wooden table, heard Hua Li babbling around the flowers, so she said casually, "As long as you talk a lot, you haven't heard it with one mouth." ”

Hua Li pursed his lips, a little unhappy, "Where I talk a lot, I don't talk as much as you." ”

The two of them said one by one, and they talked again.

Hua Shi listened to their small quarrels, but did not interrupt them.

In fact, whether it is Hua Xiao or Hua Li, the words of these two people have obviously increased a lot in the past two or three days, and the frequency of bickering has become higher and higher......

Especially Hua Li, as soon as she gets entangled with her, she loves to babble endlessly.

It's not a bad thing, but occasionally it's a headache for him to ask questions.

Seeing that the meal was ordered, Hua Shi looked left and right, but he didn't see the figure of Hua Yu.

Hua Shi looked at the open, empty room, looked at the two of them and asked, "What about your second brother?" Not in the house? ”

Hua Xiao and Hua Li's expressions were both stunned, and when they both turned their heads to look at Hua in unison, they blinked their eyes that were a little confused.

Hua Xiao was the first to react and said, "The second brother seems to have gone out very early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

Purse your lips when you flower.

Out again?

If you want to say that the most headache for Hua Shi, it is Hua Yu, the eldest brother.

She could clearly feel that the other three younger siblings except Hua Yu had changed their attitudes towards her, and the previous rejection and hatred gradually faded away, and they seemed to accept her......

Only...... Hua Yu still went her own way, without the slightest change, looking at her eyes dark, with an indescribable coldness.

She can also clearly feel that Hua Yu's hatred for her is not so easy to abate, whether it is in the mental age or in the depths of his heart, he has basically had his own personality.

The young ones can still break and twist, use both soft and hard, and can still hold down. And Huayu is completely self-explanatory, alone, and seems to have something to hide, and he doesn't want to communicate with Huashi......

He is not like Hua Xiaohua who leaves them, treats them well, gives them good food, and makes them not hungry and cold, so that they can change their outlook.

Flowers meet him...... I don't know if it's because of the long-term oppression of the Li family, although it doesn't show it on the face, but if I want Hua Yu to get close to her and get along, I'm afraid it will take some effort......

Hua Li, who was on the side, didn't speak for a long time when he saw the flowers, turned his head to look at the courtyard where it was still snowing, and suddenly said: "The second brother may have gone fishing, I saw him take a fishing rod and a bamboo basket." ”

Before, he followed his second brother to go fishing, and the second brother would bring these two things......

When the flower is gone, he looks back at the flower.

Hua Li said again: "I'll go find the second brother, I should know where he is, I've been with the second brother a few times before." ”

Hua Shi waved his hand: "Forget it, drink the porridge first, and it's not too late to find it." ”

It was too early for her to see that it was too early, and it was not too late to drink porridge and go again.

The four of them sat opposite each other around a wooden table.

Xu is fang just mentioned the second brother, Hua Xiao seemed a little silent, and her little expression was obviously lowered.

Although the emotions on Hua Li's face did not fall, he was careful to hide, and his exposed attention was a little unfocused.

Only the youngest Huaying, who was not affected at all, picked up the hot hawthorn sweet porridge, sucked and began to drink it, and it was not hot to eat, and it was delicious to eat.

At the time of a lunch, the hawthorn sweet porridge had not yet been drunk, and the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and the force was neither light nor heavy, just so that a few people heard it and turned to look over.

A thinly dressed boy with white lips from the cold, with long messy black hair and a fishing rod and bamboo basket in one hand, walked in from outside the door frame.

He raised his eyes slightly, and his dark eyes looked towards the hall facing him without emotion.

Obviously, I saw four people sitting around and drinking porridge.

"Second brother?!"

Hua Xiao screamed and stood up.

Hua Yu turned around, raised his frozen red and purple hand and pushed the courtyard door open behind him, and closed it again.

Hua Li also turned his head to look at his second brother, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he shouted in a somewhat cheerful voice: "Second brother, you came back just in time, we are drinking hawthorn porridge, it is sweet!" Come on, too! ”

Hua Li looked like this, but he was a little heartless, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all......

Hua Yu walked in with slow steps, and suddenly said in a calm voice: "Milk is back, and it should be halfway to the village at this time." ”

His voice was so flat that it took him half a second to realize what he was talking about......

Hua Li exploded, stood up suddenly, and the sweet hawthorn porridge in his mouth suddenly became dull and tasteless, and he exclaimed, "What?!" ”

Hua Shi hurriedly said: "Quickly pack all these things into the house and hide them, I'll go and put away the things in the kitchen first." ”

Hua Xiao nodded, quickly picked up her bowl and Hua Shi's bowl, and walked towards the house.

Hua Li did the same, took his own bowl, and reached over to pick up Xiaohuaying's bowl.

is burying his face, holding the bowl, fragrantly sucking the little flower shadow of the hawthorn sweet porridge, still immersed in his own world, and before he reacts, the bowl in his hand is taken away by the flower.

He raised his face in a daze, turned to Hua Xiao, who came out again, and dragged him into the house, who was half a beat slower......

I quickly moved all the things in the small kitchen back to my house in one go.

Fortunately, she has always been wary, although she moved things to the small kitchen to cook, but she did not put too many things in it, otherwise it is really hard to say now, and she really can't clean it up for a while.

Hua Yu didn't lie, when a few people were messily cleaning up the traces in the house.

Outside the low wall, after a while, there was a sound of car rolling on the snow, and the sound was clear......
