Li Xuewu looked at the clever stickman and said with a smile, "You remember this very clearly."

Qin Huairu hugged her son who walked to her side and said to Li Xuewu, "After your grandpa cleaned up the chicken pen, Banggeng started to be responsible for opening and closing the door of the chicken rack, and even picked up cabbage leaves in the yard to feed the chickens.

It’s clear that I’m thinking about it.”

Li Xuewu touched Banggeng's big head and said with a smile, "What your mother said is wrong. What do you mean by giving it to me? Uncle Wu keeps his word. These two chickens are a cooperation between the two of us. As long as the chickens are raised well,

There will be enough eggs and meat in the future, hahaha”

While talking, Li Xuewu took out 2 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Banggeng, saying, "Tomorrow morning, go to the morning market with your grandma to buy a big rooster for our chicken coop. Don't skimp on it. The quality of the rooster matters."

The quality of eggs and chicken in the future”

Qin Huairu's ears turned red when she heard this.

It was the first time that Banggeng was assigned such a large purchasing task. He felt that he was taken seriously. It was like receiving a chicken letter from an organization in a movie. He took the money very solemnly, nodded and said, "I don't

I will be cheating, I will eat more eggs and chicken."

Li Xuewu smiled evilly and winked at Banggeng, and said, "Who said you were cheating? I mean you have to be careful about your grandma cheating. Your grandma is not as "selfless" as you are. They are not one of our own.

"

Banggeng widened his eyes and said "Ah", then he reacted and imitated Li Xuewu and smiled mischievously, then blinked and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wu, we are on the same team now, I will be on guard."

My grandma’s”

Ignoring Qin Huairu's angry glare at him, Li Xuewu patted Banggan's small shoulder solemnly and said, "You also know that Uncle Wu is busy, but our chicken raising business cannot be interrupted. Now

The difficulties are temporary, but the future is bright. Now the heavy responsibility of raising chickens can only be left to you. Do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

Bangge imitated the way a police officer saluted and gave Li Xuewu a decent salute, and said with a serious face, "Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

"Well, it's very impressive. I believe you."

I heard Uncle Wu, the most awesome person in the compound, say that he believes in himself. Now Banggeng is full of strength. If Li Xuewu had four acres of land at home, maybe Banggeng would be able to plow it by himself without the need for oxen.

Seeing that her son was getting along well with Li Xuewu, Qin Huairu's eyes were a little moist. She didn't know what Banggeng lacked. She and her mother-in-law were both women, and Banggeng was a little boy, and he was still in the most growing period.

At the critical moment, what is missing is the masculine care and help of a "father".

No matter how well he and his mother-in-law take care of their children, no matter how well they eat, and no matter how strict they are, they can't compare to the words of Li Xuewu, who has a wicked smile on his face and has more eyes than a lotus root.

As a stick figure for "one of his own" and "a group of people", Qin Huairu laughed and shed tears.

While Bangge was reporting the status of the two chickens to Li Xuewu, Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, touched her son's big head, and said to Li Xuewu, "It's late, let's go back."

, I will discuss with your mother tomorrow morning and just pull off the cloth and do it. If you need to be busy, go about your business and I will tidy it up for you."

Li Xuewu nodded and watched the couple go out. He and Banggeng exchanged the secret codes with a mischievous smile through the window, and then watched the two of them go to the middle courtyard.

It is nonsense to say that Li Xuewu is really interested in Qin Huairu. Now Jian Tian'er is busy hitting the back of the head with his foot, and his mind is full of cases. So many things happened today that he can't think about it. Besides, Sister Lou from Haizi Bian'er is still

Waiting for yourself, where can I think of developing new projects?

But tonight Qin Huairu came well prepared, and her purpose was very clear. She was willing to put aside her dignity to care about herself, and she was also thinking about the future of her children. However, she and her mother-in-law didn't even mention a word.

It is impossible to say that this woman has no selfish motives at all. She has been looking at her for an indescribable amount of time, and now she is just thinking of "giving help in times of need", but this feeling of "giving help in times of need" must be remembered.

No matter what Qin Huairu's purpose is, just like what Li Xuewu is doing to Banggeng, it is nothing more than a small contribution, but it changes a person's life. I don't know if I don't intervene, the future of these people will still be the same.

That's the way it is, but if this little effort can make a person change for the better, that's a good thing.

As for Qin Huairu's "throwing herself into his arms", Li Xuewu has not considered it yet. Don't look at the few little jokes just now, which seemed ambiguous. These are all the "tricks" of that woman and mean nothing.

Li Xuewu didn't intend to do anything like pressing her down on the kang. He wasn't that hungry or thirsty yet.

Those who can control their desires are called humans, and those who cannot control their desires are called beasts.

Let nature take its course. Your little help is also a spark on the way forward for those people. You don't expect to be a guiding light, even if it lights up the road a little bit, it's still good.

After calming down, I put the cloth and cotton on the kang cabinet again, and closed the stove door. Seeing that there was no open flame in the room, I turned off the lights, locked the door, and went home.

When I walked to the front yard, I saw that the lights were still on in my house, so I turned in. I happened to see my grandma sitting in the house, so I told my grandma that I would use the carriage tomorrow morning, but I didn't say what I would use the carriage for.

The eldest grandma also replied nonchalantly, "It's up to you to decide." The two of them chatted about the progress in the west courtyard. Master Dou's side was still very fast. With the eldest grandma watching, the north room was capped.

Now that other houses have started to put up walls, my eldest grandma is thinking about building a horse shed, a car shed, and a straw shed.

Li Xuewu didn't let his eldest grandmother bother any more, and pointed out two warehouses for her to use.

While the two were talking, the elder sister-in-law came over from the back room and said to Li Xuewu very naturally, "Second brother, give me the car keys. I will use the car tomorrow. I will ride to see my classmate and take it with me."

Take her out for a meal."

Li Xuewu looked at his sister-in-law and said with great embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, you are too late. I just lent it out and asked Yu Li to borrow it."

Zhao Yafang thought that Li Xuewu was dissatisfied with her not helping to make the quilt and deliberately refused to lend it to her. She became anxious at that time, "Didn't I tell my classmate to come tomorrow? Why did you lend the car out?"

Li Xuewu saw his sister-in-law getting angry. Although he was dissatisfied with her tone, he still explained, "You said you were going out, but you didn't say you were going to use a car? How did I know that you wanted to ride a bicycle to meet your classmates?"

Zhao Yafang said in a sharp voice, "I want to use my own car, why don't I tell you in advance? Go get the car keys back, I want to use them."

Li Xuewu frowned and glanced at his elder brother and said, "How can I get the borrowed things back before the time? If I don't ask others to do handwork for me tomorrow, I am just a normal neighbor. I, Li Xuewu, can do it too."

This kind of thing never happens."

Seeing that Li Xuewen was silent, Zhao Yafang said, "Second brother, that bicycle costs more than a hundred yuan. You didn't tell your family when you bought it. Did I say anything? I can't even use it?"

Li Xuewu stood up and waved his hand to stop Liu Yin who was about to speak, and said to his sister-in-law, "First, the ticket to buy the car is mine. Second, the money to buy the car is mine. Third, it's not like I didn't lend it to you."

I've used it, and I lent it to you as soon as I bought it. You know whether I'm a stingy person or not."

Zhao Yafang was so angry that she didn't want to listen to what Li Xuewu said, "I don't know where your tickets and money came from. I just know that it's impossible to have such a big four houses, such a big courtyard renovation, and the backyard decoration is so good."

It's all your own money. You bought a car and a watch, so I didn't say anything."

Li Xuewu smiled angrily, "Sister-in-law, you have been holding back your words for a long time. We are all a family. If you are dissatisfied or want to know something, there is no need to hide it in your heart. You can just say it and I can tell you."

"The house in the front and the house in the backyard are both my own. I didn't spend a penny on the decoration. It was the subsidy money I saved. The one in the west courtyard belongs to our partner, and they also paid for it."

"Yes, I have been eating at home since I came back, but I have paid for food stamps and money. Even the food for work is the food and vegetables I bought myself. I said you should eat one more bite and eat one less.

Yes, I don’t need to tell you where the meat comes from.”

Liu Yin angrily said to Zhao Yafang, "It's all money. If you want to take care of the housekeeper tomorrow, it will save you from feeling uncomfortable. Don't say that I didn't give him money to learn martial arts. Even if I did, it's my son and he should give it."

Your father can still make money. We, the old couple, haven’t spent it on you yet.

When it comes to money, don’t lose face to me.”

Zhao Yafang cried and said, "What did I say? You are bullying me like this. Didn't you ask us to support each other in old age? Didn't you say that the family property is all for studying literature? From getting married to now, how does the family use money? What did I say?"

Well, don’t you just use the bicycle, what’s wrong?”

Li Xuewen was pretending to be an ostrich in the south room and didn't say anything, and the others didn't say anything either. But Li Xuecai felt it the most now, because now that the second brother has been assigned to work, he would also have such a day, so he looked at Zhao Yafang with a look in his eyes.

Resentment.

Li Xue is clever. As a girl, she has to get married sooner or later, so she has never thought about the family property. However, it is very sad to see her second brother who avenged her yesterday being criticized by her sister-in-law. She was fine just now.

The family atmosphere is about to break up right now, and I feel a little aggrieved when I think about it.

Li Shun sighed, softened his tone, and said, "Xuewu, you are already 20 years old, and your house is almost ready. Anyway, you have several houses, and you no longer live at home. Starting tomorrow,

If you make your own fire, you don’t have to take anything from home anymore. From now on, you can work hard and live your own life.”

Li Shun waved his hand to stop Zhao Yafang who wanted to interrupt, and continued, "I want to make it clear here about the issue of children. Whether it is according to the old etiquette of the Northeast or the etiquette of the Forty-Nine Cities, grandparents should take care of their grandchildren.

Yes, it has nothing to do with whether we separate or not. Don’t worry too much about it, you and Xuewen. When you have children, we will take care of them in the same way, and we will spend all the money that should be spent."

Li Xuewu felt sad, but he couldn't make it difficult for Li Shun and Liu Yin. Since the eldest brother was mentioned to support him in old age, this family should belong to the eldest brother. No matter what, it would be really good for the eldest brother and his wife to get along well with their parents.

Li Xuewu promised, "Yes, Dad, I understand. Tomorrow I will ask Yu Li, Qin Huairu, and Auntie to do some work in the backyard. It's not much anyway. My mother and I have been working for more than half a month."

I have been busy working, and you have helped me take care of the child. It’s time to take a rest. The child will stay at our house for another night. I will take it away tomorrow morning and raise it by myself."

When Zhao Yafang heard Li Xuewu's words, she looked over in surprise. She wanted to say something but couldn't.

Liu Yin pointed at her second son and cursed, "Li Xuewu, what are you talking about? I don't want you to go out even if you go out?"

Seeing that Liu Yin was about to get angry with Zhao Yafang, the old lady said at this time, "Okay, stop arguing. I can't understand what I said, and I can't explain clearly. It's really a misunderstanding. Since I lent the car to someone, how can I get it back?"

The truth is, you can take the bus to Avon tomorrow."

"Also Xuewu, since your father said that you should go out alone whenever you go out, this has been decided a long time ago. You have to go out sooner or later. Don't have any complaints. Live your own life well. Don't worry about home all the time in the future.

Come on, take care of yourself and go ahead and start the fire yourself. Sooner or later, everyone will be independent one day."

The old lady pushed the car and continued, "Your mother and I won't go over to help you tomorrow, and you won't have to provide food. The money or things you can give is real, but there is one thing. I can't give you the child. I can take it with you."

I can’t let go and have entered the Li family’s door. This is my old lady’s eldest great-granddaughter. You don’t have the right to make this decision for her, nor do you have the right to take her out of this house.”

Old Mrs. Li's words were the final word, and there was no room for relaxation or change. Especially the issues of money, food and children had to be hammered upon by the whole family. Zhao Yafang saw that she could not speak out, so she went back to the house crying.

When the eldest grandma saw that the old lady had finished speaking, she continued, "As for me, I have already discussed it with Xuewu. It is still difficult for the boss and his wife to support so many people. It is better for Xuewu to provide for me in my old age. The horses and carriages are all from Xuewu. I will be there."

I’ll live in the back room, and I’ll let Xuewu look after that area. Also, Xuecai will live with me in the future.”

When Li Xuewen saw what his grandfather had said, he could no longer hide it. He came out and said, "Grandma, that's not what Avon meant. It's just that we've just finished talking and we have no intention of chasing you out."

Li Xuecai knew that now he needed to make a decision by himself. What his eldest grandma said today was not to discuss with him, but to ask him to follow him. After thinking about his eldest brother and his wife, he agreed in a low voice.

Liu Yin glared at her eldest son fiercely and cried, "Go, go, it's best if the whole family is separated. After that, she went back to the house and spread out the quilt and lay down."
