Li Ya sat up and stared at the kitchen of the old courtyard under the night sky.
In the middle of the night, everything was silent. The lights on the ground in the old courtyard of the Li family were dim, illuminating the kitchen hazily and making Li Ya's dream even more hazy.
Li Ya was dimly lighting a fire in the kitchen. She wanted to use a match to light a handful of dry wood, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't strike the match in her hand.
One stick, two sticks, three sticks...
There was a mountain of matches at Li Ya's feet, but she couldn't make a fire. There was only the last match left in her hand.
Stab!
When Li Ya was hesitating about how to light the last match, the match automatically burst out sparks, which turned into flames and ignited the handful of dry firewood in her other hand.
The dry firewood burned brightly, and Li Ya quickly stuffed it into the stove.
You debt collector!
You debt collector!
A man with disheveled hair jumped out of the stove, stretched out a pair of skinny hands and pinched Li Ya's neck.
Li Ya wanted to escape from the stove and escape from the kitchen, but she was too weak to move.
Give me back my treasure!
Give me back my treasure!
All Li Ya saw before her eyes was a pair of skinny hands.
This hand is covered with long nails.
Those nails were as long and as big as a digging shovel, and they pinched Li Ya's neck tightly.
dad!
dad!
Li Ya shouted desperately.
I was hoarse but couldn't make any sound...
"Manager Li, please go and have a look."
He brought over a basin of water.
"Thanks!"
Li Ya got up from the recliner and washed her face.
The wet towel warmed Li Ya's face, and her dazed consciousness suddenly became clear.
After eating fried rice cakes, Li Ya sat on the recliner and continued to listen to him talk about the past of the Tang family and the Li family.
The eldest son of the Li family, Li Ya's father, and Aunt Li are childhood sweethearts.
Aunt Li was starving and fainting on the street in the winter. It was Tang Shatou who rescued her and took her home first. Later, seeing that she was talented in singing, he sent her to a theater troupe. After her liberation, she joined the theater troupe.
The eldest young man of the Li family liked to follow Tang Shao's head shaver through the villages and alleys since he was a child. That day Tang Shao saved Aunt Li, and the eldest young master of the Li family also followed behind.
Aunt Li is afraid of strangers, especially boys who are older than her, but she is not afraid of the eldest son of the Li family at all.
The eldest son of the Li family never plays with his peers and has no friends. It can be seen that after seeing Aunt Li, he went out of his way to express his goodwill and took the best snacks for her to eat and the best toys for her to play with.
Aunt Li followed Tang Shatou all day long before entering the theater. She would play in the barber shop when Tang Shatou was in the barber shop. Tang Shatou took up the task of having his head shaved and went through the villages and alleys to have his head shaved, and she followed.
In this way, there are always two children in Tang Shaotou's barber shop and beside the barber shop, Aunt Li and the eldest young master of the Li family. Tang Shatou's own child, Tang Qing's father, never comes to the barber shop or follows Tang Shatou.
Go out and shave your head.
The rebellious eldest son of the Li family became docile and cute in front of the well-behaved Aunt Li, who protected her like a big brother.
After Aunt Li joined the theater troupe, the eldest son of the Li family no longer went to Tang Shatou's barber shop, nor did he follow Tang Shatou through the villages and alleys to get his hair shaved. Instead, he spent all day in the theater troupe watching Aunt Li learn the opera.
I can sing better than the other boys in the troupe.
The eldest young master of the Li family begged his parents to let him go to the opera troupe to learn opera with Aunt Li, so that he would be a good boy.
How could the Li family allow their dignified eldest son to become an actor? They banned him from leaving the Li family's old yard on Lushan Road.
The eldest son of the Li family fought to death and went on a hunger strike at a young age.
The Li family had no choice but to ask Mr. Li to go to Tang Shatou to find a solution.
Tang Shatou said, if you have to block the fierce beast, can you block it? Either sparing or blocking, you make your own choice.
Therefore, the Li family allowed the eldest son to go to the barber shop, but he was still not allowed to go to the theater troupe.
The eldest young master of the Li family knelt down and begged Tang Shatou to send him to the opera troupe, because he would die with Aunt Li.
Tang Shatou said, do you, a child, know what death is? Don't talk about death all day long. If you do this again, my barber shop will not allow you to come back, let alone see Aunt Li again.
The eldest young master of the Li family has always been obedient to Tang's shaved head and dare not say anything about it.
Tang Shaotou asked the eldest young master of the Li family, do you want Aunt Li to sing well and grow up well?
The eldest young master of the Li family said, of course he hopes Aunt Li will be well.
Tang Shatou warned the eldest young master of the Li family, if you really want Aunt Li to be well, stop disturbing her and let her study and sing well. You should also study hard and strive to become a useful person in the future.
.
The eldest young master of the Li family said that he would study hard, but he still couldn't help but want to visit Aunt Li.
Tang Shatou said that if you can't help it, you have to hold it back. I tell you clearly, if you can't hold it back, Aunt Li will suffer. Not only will she not be able to learn the opera, but she will also die.
The eldest young master of the Li family was puzzled and asked why?
Tang Shatou asked him to go back and think about it carefully, and then come back to the barber shop after he figured it out.
The eldest young man of the Li family came to the barber shop and said that he would not go to the opera troupe without authorization and would definitely study hard.
When Tang had his head shaved, the eldest son of the Li family went to the barber shop. On his days off, he followed him through the villages and alleys to have his hair shaved, until he said he wanted to kill his parents.
After the fire, Tang Shatou once again said to the eldest young master of the Li family, if you don't want to kill me or Aunt Li, just let me study in peace.
The eldest young master of the Li family promised not to be stupid again.
As the days passed, Aunt Li's opera singing became better and better and she became the top performer. The eldest son of the Li family also had excellent academic performance and was admitted to a university in the provincial capital.
After graduating from college, with the connections of the Li family on Lushan Road, the eldest son of the Li family could definitely stay and work in a good company in the provincial capital. But he just returned to Shancheng and told his parents that he wanted to stay with them in the future.
Honor them well.
His parents were naturally happy and let him choose his own unit.
The eldest young man of the Li family said he wanted to work in the cultural department because he likes literature and art.
As a result, he became the youngest cultural cadre in Shancheng.
After Tang Shatou learned about it, he reminded Aunt Li who came back to visit him: You should take care of yourself and never look for trouble.
Aunt Li agreed verbally, but she and the eldest young master of the Li family became more intimate in private.
In fact, Aunt Li and the eldest young master of the Li family have never stopped contacting each other, but they have just switched from above ground to underground. Now that the eldest young master of the Li family has become a cultural cadre, the contact between the two is more convenient.
The love between a young man and a woman is flourishing like mushrooms after a spring rain. Coupled with the unique character of the eldest young man of the Li family, he completely ignores worldly opinions and all rumors and spends every opportunity with Auntie Li.
Naturally, the parents of the Li family on Lushan Road could not allow it. Even Mr. Li from Lutei Mountain objected. They all believed that it was wrong to live in an inappropriate household and tried their best to interfere.
Mr. Li interfered more actively than his parents. He not only targeted the eldest son of the Li family, but also Aunt Li. He even encouraged unscrupulous men in the society to compete with the eldest son of the Li family for Aunt Li, and also encouraged young women in the theater troupe to compete with the eldest son of the Li family for Aunt Li.
The actor and Aunt Li were jealous.
For a time, the love story between the eldest son of the Li family and Aunt Li became known throughout Shan City and became the number one focus of discussion in the streets and alleys of this small county.
The Li family members were furious and demanded that the troupe prohibit Aunt Li from going out or socializing with anyone except for her normal performances. At the same time, the eldest son of the Li family was also banned from the house and was confined to the old courtyard on Lushan Road at all times except for work.
Things must go to extremes, and the tighter the spring is, the stronger the rebound. The eldest son of the Li family escaped from the office during working hours, first hid in a public toilet until midnight, and then went to climb the wall of the theater company to meet Aunt Li.
Unexpectedly, someone set a trap under the wall, and when he jumped, his flesh was rotten and his bones were broken. If Tang Shatou hadn't arrived in time and carried him to the hospital, he would have died.
"How vicious to set such a trap!"
Li Yayi was filled with anger.
"Manager Li, do you know who set this up? You won't believe it if I tell you!"
