Li Si took the first step, ran tens of thousands of miles in the stars and the moon, and rushed home in the dust. As soon as he saw the broken thatched house, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, kicked open the firewood door, and shouted: "Mother, I'm back!!"

The small courtyard was empty, and no one rushed out of the house, and even more, Li Si found that a layer of dust had accumulated on the stove, and no one had been cooking for a long time.

Li Siru was struck by lightning, his body stiffened for a long time, and he began to tremble violently, he walked step by step, with difficulty, to a room, his mother lived in that room, was she seriously ill and died, and there was no one to find out?

Pushing open the door, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, there was no one in the house, the bedding was neatly folded, and it was clean.

This made Li Si feel strange, when he joined the army, his mother could get out of bed and walk a few steps, how could he have the strength to work?

Is it getting better?

When he was in southern Xinjiang, he sent all the monthly salaries back to his home, did he have the money to buy medicine to cure the disease?

But......

Li Si was thinking about it, when there was a sudden sharp pain behind him, he turned his head and saw a young woman with round apricot eyes holding a wooden stick with both hands, and posing with an attacking posture against him, the woman's eyes were full of nervousness, and there was a little fear.

"Aunt Liu, go out and call someone!" the woman shouted outside the door without turning her head.

The old woman outside the door was stunned, as if she was scared silly.

"Aunt Liu!!" the woman called out again.

The old woman finally reacted, sat on the ground and cried, pointing to the ragged Li Si and shouting, "My son, you have finally returned......

"Mother!!" Li Si pounced on him, hugged the old woman and cried.

The young woman was stunned, and slowly, two smears of red light flew on her face, and the wooden stick fell to the ground, and she was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

......

After a long conversation, Li Si finally learned the name of the young woman, surnamed Shen Xianglan, who had just moved to Tianjing, and followed his father to sell tofu at the mouth of the alley in the west. That day, Li Si's mother fell in front of the tofu shop, it was Shen Xianglan who sent her home, and later saw that she was lonely, so she came to take care of her every day, and she was cured unconsciously, and Li Si's mother had three meals a day, all of which were solved in Shen Ji's tofu shop.

"Miss Shen, I really don't know how to thank you for your great kindness......" Li Si bowed deeply to Shen Xianglan, his face was full of tears, his face was full of soil, and several ravines were washed out.

"What did Brother Li say? Shen Xianglan rubbed the corners of her clothes and said, "I ...... me too I didn't do anything either......"

Since the meeting, Li Si has taken a serious look at Shen Xianglan for the first time, her body exudes a very good smell of beans, her skin is as white and tender as tofu, even if she is wearing ordinary clothes, she is still beautiful and moving, not at all like being born in a poor family.

Li Si couldn't help but ask, "Why did Miss Shen come to Tianjing?"

Shen Xianglan's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and she said, "My family was originally in Nanling Mansion, and my family was separated after the war. ”

Nanling Mansion is in the territory of southern Xinjiang, and most of the people who can escape from southern Xinjiang are large families, but they may not have much money left.

Li Si thought so, and listened to Shen Xianglan continue: "When we arrived in Tianjing, we came to our cousin's uncle, but there was no communication for half a year, and my cousin's family moved out of Tianjing, and there was no news.

There was no way, and he didn't have much money on him, so my father bought a house in the west and made some tofu to barely make ends meet. ”

After saying that, Aunt Liu sighed, pulled Shen Xianglan's soft little hand that had seen the calluse, and said with a guilty face: "I'm so confused, I only think about myself, and I don't even know ...... Miss Xianglan."

"Aunt Liu, don't say that. Shen Xianglan interrupted the crying old woman and said, "Your body is more important than anything else......

Shen Xianglan's words made Aunt Liu feel even more guilty, she looked at the stunned Li Temple, stomped her feet and said, "You should say two words!"

"Ahh

"I have an idea!" Li Si shouted, rushed into the house and came out with a heavy mace, and said: "This mace is made of grimace iron, which can be exchanged for a lot of money, I really don't know what can be repaid to the girl, please accept this mace......"

Aunt Liu slapped Li Si on the head and scolded: "Who do you see who sent a mace to the girl's house?

"But...... But ......"

Shen Xianglan covered her mouth and snickered, then put down her hand and said, "Brother Li doesn't have to be like this, I never thought about getting anything, since you are back, then I will go home first." ”

After speaking, Shen Xianglan turned around and left, and Li Si looked at the shadow for a long time and was stunned.

"Don't chase it yet!" Aunt Liu pinched Li Si's arm.

Li Si woke up like a dream, "Good, good." ”

Not long after chasing out, Li Si turned around and came back, Aunt Liu felt strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mother. Li Si muttered, "I'm not worthy of others." ”

Aunt Liu was silent when she heard this, and finally sighed helplessly, and said, "I originally thought that Xianglan was also a poor family like us, but I didn't expect ......."

Before the change, Aunt Liu had long thought about wanting Shen Xianglan to be her daughter-in-law, but when she heard that Shen Xianglan was originally from a big family, she dispelled her thoughts, no matter how down-and-out Shen Xianglan's family is now, it is not something that their family can climb.

"Xianglan is a good girl. Aunt Liu couldn't help but sigh.

As she was talking, Shen Xianglan suddenly returned, panting, and said with a happy face: "Brother Li is coming back from southern Xinjiang?"

Li Si, who was stunned, nodded subconsciously.

"Then the war in southern Xinjiang is over?" Shen Xianglan asked quickly.

Li Si still nodded, and then there was a reluctant emotion in his heart, and his Adam's apple rolled, and said, "You...... Are you going back?"

Shen Xianglan's mood suddenly fell, "I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I can't go back......"

The air suddenly fell silent.

"I'll ...... Do you want to ...... I want to ask ......" Shen Xianglan looked nervous and said, "Is there a ...... in Southern Xinjiang?" Has anyone survived?"

Li Si knew that most of what Shen Xianglan asked was her lost relatives, and said, "There are very few people who survive, and ...... in that environment."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Xianglan said, "I understand." ”

Shen Xianglan's eyes were red, tears swirled in her eyes, and she staggered out against the wall, "I understand." ”

"Don't chase it yet!" Aunt Liu angrily pushed Li Si.

"But ......"

"What but!" Aunt Liu said sharply: "If you have received the favor of others, you have to repay it well, from today onwards, you will work in the tofu shop, and now send Miss Xianglan back!"

Li Si finally understood what his mother meant, promised on his lips, and chased him out quickly.
