Xiao Tiedou was very diligent in helping to serve the rice. Looking at the large bowl of rice placed in front of him, Zhao Dafu's eyes suddenly turned red.
He has no ability. No matter how hard he worked over the years, his two children have never been able to eat rice to their heart's content. He only occasionally eats a little bit of rice during the New Year and festivals.
Two days after he came back, Liu's mother and daughter cooked wild vegetables for him all day long. It was hard to eat, and they didn't even have enough to eat.
Now that the mother and daughter left, the daughter immediately let him eat rice, fragrant fried bacon, and a wild vegetable soup. Although it was very simple, it was better than what he had during the Chinese New Year last year!
"Dad, why don't you eat?"
Little Tiedou looked at Zhao Dafu curiously and felt that his father was a little strange. Was he still feeling sorry for the mother and daughter?
"Eat, eat!"
Zhao Dafu swallowed, picked up the bowl and ate in big mouthfuls. As soon as the soft, glutinous and fragrant rice reached his mouth, he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.
"Child, dad has been useless these years. It is dad who is sorry for you!"
He feels uneasy!
He was a young man but was supported by his daughter, and he had not cared about them at all these years. He felt that he was not worthy of eating such good food!
Xiao Tiedou glanced at Zhao Huanyu with a stern look, but saw that Zhao Huanyu was still eating quietly, so he followed suit and continued eating.
Zhao Dafu howled while eating, while Zhao Huanyu was speechless.
"Stop crying," she said impatiently, "If you are really guilty, just take good care of yourself and take good care of the fields at home. You don't have to worry about other things."
"Don't worry, my dear, dad won't go out anymore. He will stay at home with you siblings and won't let you suffer any more!"
He looked at the siblings with determination, as if he had made some important decision.
Zhao Huanyu:......
"If you really have the heart, just do it. No matter how much you say now, it won't be as good as you doing two practical things."
After she finished speaking, she stopped talking to Zhao Dafu. She quickly finished her meal and went back to her room. Xiao Tiedou was responsible for washing the dishes.
Zhao Dafu actually shut up and ate quietly with Little Tiedou.
Little Tiedou also ate quickly, but he had to wait for the dishes to be washed, so he had to wait for Zhao Dafu to finish. He was a little bored and took a stick to write on the ground.
"Tie Dou, your sister has been so kind to you. When you grow up, you must repay your sister, do you understand?"
He was illiterate, but he knew that Tie Dou was writing.
"I know dad, please eat quickly, I still have to study."
Little Tiedou couldn't help but urge, Master also assigned homework today.
Zhao Dafu was a little disappointed. He had been out for a long time and his son was no longer close to him.
"You go study, dad will take care of it."
Although he broke one leg, he could still use the other leg, not to mention he didn't use his feet when washing dishes.
"No," Xiao Tiedou shook his head, "Dad is injured, I have to take care of him."
Having said this, Zhao Dafu was very pleased. He finished his meal and drank the wild vegetable soup in a few seconds, and then asked Xiao Tiedou to take care of him.
Zhao Huanyu was lighting an oil lamp in the room and drawing design drawings. After Xiao Tiedou came in, he sat down next to him silently and read a book by the light.
After watching for a while, he looked up at Zhao Huanyu. Under the light of the fire, he felt that her sister seemed to be glowing.
"Sister, please move to Sister Xiaohua's room tonight. That room is yours."
He suddenly spoke, and Zhao Huanyu was stunned.
"Why, don't you want me to stay in this room?"
She knew that Xiao Tiedou didn't mean it this way, but she still teased him like this on purpose.
"Of course not!" Xiao Tiedou stood up anxiously and looked at her, "Sister, that room was originally yours, but it was occupied by someone else. It's natural for you to live back there. Besides, let's talk..."
Zhao Huanyu turned to look at him with a smile: "What else can you say?"
"Besides, there are differences between men and women. I am too old to sleep with Sister A anymore..."
His face was so red that he was embarrassed to say it at first, but he was afraid that his sister would misunderstand something.
He didn't understand this before, but after reading, he understood some truths. He never mentioned it before because he really didn't have a place to live at home, but now that he has it, he doesn't have to wrong his sister like that.
Zhao Huanyu felt relieved. Compared to her father who could only grin and howl, she still liked this little brother more. He was the first little boy who gave her warmth after she traveled through time.
"Our little Tiedou has grown up, and my sister is so happy!"
She reached out and rubbed the flesh that had finally grown on Xiao Tiedou's face.
Xiao Tiedou chuckled, then stood up and said, "I'll help Sister clean up the room!"
"Don't go, don't be in a hurry right now, you read your book, and I will clean up by myself tomorrow morning."
That room had been lived in by Li Xiaohua. Zhao Huanyu felt uncomfortable. Naturally, she couldn't just stay there casually. She also planned to redecorate the room. Don't be in a hurry and take your time.
Little Tiedou nodded obediently, sat down and continued to pick up the book and read. After a while, he said again: "Sister, I feel so happy!"
Zhao Huanyu was amused by him: "Are you so easily satisfied?"
Little Tiedou nodded heavily: "Daddy is back, the people I hate are gone, and we can live a good life from now on!"
"Okay, okay, as long as you feel happy."
The two siblings chatted and chatted, and the atmosphere was very warm.
What Zhao Huanyu didn't know was that not far from her home, a slender man stood with his hands behind his back.
Next to him stood Fu Yuan, who had been eating melon all night and kept smacking his tongue.
"I didn't expect that such things could happen in this small village. It seems that Miss Zhao has been having a hard time these past few years!"
Just as he was talking enthusiastically, Ji Mingxuan looked at him coldly and asked, "Have you said enough?"
Fu Yuan immediately stood up straight and replied forcefully: "That's enough."
"If enough is said, let's go and do the work. Since her step-sister can secretly leave regardless of her mother's life and death, she is not a good person. You go find the mother and daughter and deal with them properly."
There was no warmth in Ji Mingxuan's voice. Although he didn't know the cause and effect, he knew from just listening to the conversation between the two siblings that the mother and daughter had made things difficult for her.
The little girl he fell in love with was naturally protected by him.
I didn’t know it before, but now that I know it, let’s calculate the old and new accounts together.
He has never been a good person, nor does he understand the meaning of compassion.
Fu Yuan responded and disappeared into the darkness.
Ji Mingxuan came down tonight because he just wanted to know where her family lived and to see if she was doing well. As a result, she saw such a terrible scene. One can only imagine how difficult it has been for her these past years.
The fists clenched behind his back were clenched. If he had known earlier, he would have followed him down to take a look.
Mrs. Liu stumbled all the way back to her parents' home. The two villages were not very far apart. She thought Li Xiaohua had come first, but she knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. It took a long time before she saw her elder brother coming out with a stick, saying nothing.
