Li Ye's home is a set of single-family bungalow courtyards, three main houses and three partial houses, and the living conditions are not bad.

As soon as he rode to the door, Li Ye smelled the fragrance of sour and hot shredded potatoes.

At this time, it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and all kinds of fine vegetables are basically off the market, and the tables of each family are basically radishes, potatoes, and cabbage.

When Li Ye pushed the cart into the door, he saw three figures, two large, two and three small figures working in the kitchen shed.

The eldest is naturally Li Ye's stepmother Han Chunmei, and the younger one is the two daughters she brought over, who changed their surnames with Li Kaijian and are called Li Juan and Li Ying.

To say that Han Chunmei is also a hard-working person.

When she was young, Han Chunmei was a recognized flower in ten miles and eight towns, and after marrying a carpenter, she gave birth to two girls in a row, and she could never give birth again.

If this is placed in the next generation, it will be beautiful if there are two daughters.

You don't have to save money to buy a house or land, you don't have to worry about the bride price of a car, as soon as you lie on the sofa during the New Year's holidays, the girl will obediently send the cigarettes, wine, sugar and tea over, and the son-in-law has to smile and stammer: "Dad, let's go one?" ”

When they get old, they are sick and have disasters, and the two daughters can't run away with money and efforts, and they spend their lives with money.

But not in this era, every family has a throne waiting to be inherited! You can't give birth to a guard with a knife, and gossip can crush a person to death.

Han Chunmei's in-laws were very strong, and directly forced their son to divorce his wife and marry another, and drove Han Chunmei out of the door.

Han Chunmei took her two daughters back to her parents' house, and after several years of hard work, she finally married Li Kaijian, who was eight years older than her.

Then, she felt heavenly.

The in-laws no longer scold the daughter for eating half a steamed bun more, and the man will not pull out the belt because he broke a bowl.

And after getting married, the Li family first found Han Chunmei a job as a temporary worker, twenty-two yuan and five yuan a month, which didn't seem like much, but it made her cry with joy.

No one understands better than her that her own children watch others eat candy, but they don't have a dime in their pockets.

No one knows better than her, the children cry out that they are hungry in the middle of the night, but they can only feed them a bowl of cold water.

So after entering the Li family, Han Chunmei treated the Li family with gratitude, and the laundry, cooking, and housework were all covered, so that Li Ye's grandmother often complained that "I'm not old yet, so it's useless".

"Well, Ono is back?"

Seeing Li Ye enter the door, Han Chunmei was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly took out two cents and handed it to her daughter.

"Xiaojuan, go to East Street to buy a piece of tofu, Xiaoying quickly wash a cabbage."

At this time, the food is precious, and there is a count of how many meals can be cooked at home, and there will definitely be no such waste as leftovers, so Li Ye suddenly came back, and Han Chunmei was afraid that the food she cooked would not be enough to eat.

"Don't be so troublesome, I'll put a little bit of it outside, and just mix a cabbage heart."

Li Ye waved his hand to stop Li Juan, who was about to go out, and took out the bag of uneaten hemp candy from his schoolbag and handed it over.

"The hemp candy I bought on the road, give you and Xiaoying a taste."

“.........”

Li Juan looked at the hemp candy handed to her, a little at a loss.

She has followed Han Chunmei to the Li family for a year, and she has never seen the good face of Li Ye, the elder brother, what happened today? Kicked in the head by a donkey? Or did the sow climb the tree?

"I ..... I don't eat....... You eat! ”

Li Juan forcibly endured the saliva and refused to reach the hemp candy in her mouth, and lowered her head and slipped behind Han Chunmei.

"Eat! I still have half a pack! ”

Li Ye showed out the half packet of sesame candy he had eaten, and stuffed the whole bag of sesame candy into Li Juan's hand.

"Oh."

Li Juan took it at this time, walked behind Han Chunmei with her head down, and glanced at her sister Li Ying, revealing a faint joy.

Han Chunmei frowned and was displeased, and scolded the two daughters: "Oh, oh, oh, you can't even shout a brother?" Is such an adult ignorant? ”

“........”

"Brother."

"Brother."

The two girls hurriedly shouted at Li Ye, timid, like mosquitoes.

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't know anything before, but I'll get used to it in the future, so I'll go to the house first."

Li Ye hurriedly persuaded a few words, turned his head and went to the north house, he didn't leave, and his two sisters were uncomfortable.

After Li Ye left, Han Chunmei rubbed the corners of her eyes and said sternly to the two daughters: "Why do you make it so difficult for you to call a brother?" I was embarrassed to eat sugar, so I took a plate and served it. ”

The mouths of the two children immediately pouted, and Li Juan muttered in a low voice: "He doesn't call your mother!" ”

"I ......"

Han Chunmei stretched out her hand to hit, but her hand was halfway raised, and she sighed and put it down.

It's hard to be a stepmother!

The two daughters were unhappy and unhappy, but they still took the plate obediently, put the hemp candy on it, and put it on the table as a snack.

And the remaining bit of hemp candy was divided into three parts by Li Juan, one for her sister Li Ying, and one for her mother Han Chunmei.

The corners of Han Chunmei's eyes finally shed tears.

。。。。。。

Li Ye suddenly went home, and the family was very happy.

Grandpa and grandma hugged their eldest grandson and asked for warmth, saying that they had lost weight.

The eldest sister pulled her brother's coat, and after measuring it, she felt that it was too small, and said that she would buy a new one for Li Ye when she was paid.

It was because of Li Ye's belt that Li Kaijian, who had a discordant relationship between the two of them, also said with a straight face while taking out the money: "When you come back this day, is there no money again?" I'll give you ten dollars first, and save some flowers. ”

Originally, Li Ye was still a little worried about how to get along with his family in this world, but the strong family warmth and sincere family warmth made him feel no spiritual estrangement at all, and he integrated into it naturally.

"No, I still have money, mainly something, come back and talk to you."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to get that 26 phoenix back today."

“.........”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, Li Kaijian asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" ”

"I didn't think much about it," Li Ye said: "The day before yesterday, Lu Jingyao sent me 45 yuan, I think since people don't look down on us, let's not take a hot face and stick a cold butt, so that we can gather and disperse, and don't make trouble that is not long or short." ”

"Smack~"

Li Kaijian slapped his thigh and said, "It's good if you thought about it earlier, if I hadn't taken care of you, I would have ....... it sooner."

"What are you babbling about?"

Grandma spat Li Kaijian and asked Li Ye worriedly: "Xiaoye, you really think about it." ”

Li Ye nodded and said, "Think about it, but there may be some unpleasant rumors recently, don't take it seriously, it will fade away in a few days." ”

"Rumors? What rumors? ”

Li Kaijian was about to ask carefully, but Li Ye's grandfather Li Zhongfa said: "Okay, eat first, what are you talking about endlessly when the children are hungry?" ”

"How can I talk .......?"

Li Kaijian muttered, lowered his head and began to eat.

If Li Ye was educated by Li Kaijian with a belt in the past, then Li Kaijian was cleaned up by Li Zhongfa with a stick, and "filial piety comes out under the stick", which is the tradition of the Li family.

When he was about to finish eating, Li Zhongfa suddenly asked Li Ye: "Have you been taking a placement test recently?" ”

Li Ye replied: "The exam is an exam, but it's not because I don't know about the class, how do you know, grandpa?" ”

Li Zhong said: "This morning, your school called me and said that your test results were not too good or too bad, and it was a little reluctant ......to enter the express class."

Li Ye understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

The repeating class of the county No. 2 middle school was originally divided into fast and slow classes, and the whole express class came out at this time, which was naturally a radical measure taken to impact the admission rate.

With Li Ye's test results and ranking, it is impossible to enter the express class, and the reason why the school called Li Zhongfa must be because he has something to ask for.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about my studies, I can be admitted to university if I don't get into the express class, so don't agree to things that don't meet the regulations."

"What doesn't meet the regulations, it's just a favor, you just review with all your heart, don't put too much pressure on yourself, if you can't get in, our family doesn't have any requirements for you."

Yes, I still don't believe in myself.

Li Ye looked at the eyes of everyone at the dinner table and could feel everyone's mood.

Whether it is grandparents, fathers and sisters, they dare not put pressure on Li Ye, and they are carefully taking care of the self-esteem of the "first brother of the family".

"Okay, I know, it's naturally good to be able to get in, and if you can't pass the exam, I'll gnaw on the old man!"

Li Ye didn't swear to make everyone believe it, anyway, it would be good to give you a big surprise when the time comes.
