Just when the atmosphere was a little dull, Liu San's hearty laughter suddenly came from the front yard!
"Haha - Qinglin, is third aunt here?"
Everyone stood up and found Liu San walking in with Liu Wu, Liu Nanyue and several other "activist" elements in the village.
"Qinglin, I knew you would take Third Aunt to your place first." Liu San said to Liu Qinglin first, and then said to the old lady: "Third Aunt, I have brought someone to clean your house!
How to do it, you old man, tell me the rules, and we will all follow the rules!"
"Then I'll trouble you!" The old man was also very grateful for the arrival of Liu San and his group. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The old man has been living in the village with a granddaughter for many years. If it weren't for these kind-hearted juniors in the village,
They help from time to time, but his life must be much sadder! The old man thought of his husband and son who had died many years ago, and he couldn't help but shed tears!
"In these years, we who are orphans and widowed are all thanks to you——"
"Third Aunt, please don't say that."
"Yes, Third Aunt, we do all this for the right reason!"
When everyone saw the old man shed tears, they hurriedly offered words of comfort to him.
The old man thought for a while and said to Liu San: "Xiaofu and I will stay at Qinglin's house for the time being. It's getting late today. You all go back and come back to Qinglin's house tomorrow morning and we'll see what happens.
Help me with this old bone."
"Yes, Third Brother, the old man will come back first, so let her rest first. Third Aunt lives with me, so don't worry." Liu Qinglin thought the old man was tired.
Ouyang Hui looked at this group of simple farmers and was in a daze, thinking to herself that although this place was poor, the atmosphere was very good. No wonder a boy like Liu Hai could be born.
After Liu San and others left, everyone began to bring the topic to Xiao Liu Zi.
Liu Zi kept holding Liu Hai's hand, and he never let go from the moment he saw Liu Hai. Liu Hai had no choice but to hold Liu Zi's hand all the time.
Liu Chen knew little Liu Zi's life experience and how pitiful this little girl was, and he kept teasing the little girl beside his brother. Sometimes, little Liu Zi didn't seem to reject Liu Chen. She would answer Liu Chen's questions. This person
Ouyang Hui and Liu Xiaofu met on the side and felt a little puzzled - in the provincial capital these days, except for Ouyang Hui, she even ignored Liu Xiaofu and the old man!
The two women looked at each other in silence, and finally concluded that the reason was the presence of bangs, which was why little Liu Zi behaved.
Speaking of little Liu Zi, the third grandmother also sighed very much.
"Qinglin, I heard from Huihui that this girl probably won't find her family. You said on the phone that you planned to adopt her. Now that the girl is here, what are you going to do?"
Liu Qinglin is an honest man, he says whatever he thinks on his mind.
"Third Aunt, Xiaoyun and I have discussed it. Now that the girl is that old, we should recognize her as a goddaughter and add her household registration to our family. From now on, I will treat her as my biological daughter.
Raise it! It’s just a matter of household registration. We don’t know how to do it, so we have to ask this girl to help."
Liu Qinglin was talking about Ouyang Hui.
Although Ouyang Hui didn't understand Liu Qinglin's dialect very well, he probably understood the meaning and said politely: "Uncle Liu, just call me Huihui like grandma. There is no problem with the household registration. And Liu Zi
I count the living expenses as mine. This was what I had agreed with Liu Hai and my aunt when we were in the provincial capital."
"How can this be done? Miss Huihui, although our family is poor——"
Before Liu Qinglin could finish speaking, Liu Hai interjected: "Dad, it's okay. Sister Huihui and I agreed that we would adopt little Liu Zi together."
"You and her?"
Liu Qinglin looked at Liu Hai in surprise, then turned to look at Ouyang Hui, thinking that there was something between his son and this beautiful girl from the big city.
Ouyang Hui heard Liu Hai's "ambiguous" words and saw Liu Qinglin's ambiguous eyes, and suddenly her face turned red with embarrassment.
When Liu Hai saw that his father had misunderstood what he meant, he felt anxious and hurriedly explained loudly: "No, no--"
Unexpectedly, his father suddenly said with a straight face: "What it's not, it's not! Miss Huihui didn't even say it's not, how can you, a bastard, say it's not!"
Liu Hai swallowed hard at his father's words and suddenly felt a little ashamed. He really didn't expect that he, an honest person, would suddenly do this.
"Yes - no - I - -"
For a moment, Liu Hai opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. His embarrassed look made everyone laugh! Even little Liu Zi opened his mouth and looked at Liu Hai and let out a rare laugh.
Ouyang Hui was teased by everyone, and she didn't know why. In the past, she had never blushed when she saw those high-ranking people making fun of her, but now her pretty face was red.
Liu Xiaofu, a good sister, tilted her mouth and smiled hard. When she saw Ouyang Hui, she actually blushed, and the smile on her face became even bigger!
She leaned into her good sister's ear and whispered: "Hui Hui, you don't really like Xiao Hai, do you? Haha - your face is turning red!"
Xiao Liuzi's marriage recognition was very simple. There was neither a banquet nor a prominent person in the village invited to notarize it.
It was just that the old man gave his testimony. Liu Qinglin and Xiao Yun were sitting in front. Liu Hai and the little girl came forward to offer tea to the two elders. After the tea was served, they called "Dad" and "Mom". The recognition ceremony was completed.
From then on, Liu Hai had a younger sister.
In the evening, when it was about to get dark, the old man suddenly called Liu Hai, Liu Xiaofu and Ouyang Hui to his eyes.
"Xiaohai, while it was still dark, took the hoe, Xiaofu, and Huihui to the bedroom of the third grandma's house to dig out the dowry."
"ah?"
Liu Hai was shocked when he heard this. He knew that the old man was originally from a wealthy family and received a valuable dowry. In recent years, Sister Xiaofu's tuition fees have all been paid for by part of the old man's dowry! But he did not expect that the old man's dowry
It was actually buried underground in his bedroom.
"Ah what? You kid, go quickly, Xiaofu knows the exact location. Huihui will also go with you to help look out for the wind and don't let others discover it."
Liu Chen and little Liu Zi were taking a bath. While there was still a glimmer of light in the sky, a few people took hoes and quietly went to Liu Xiaofu's house that was burned down by everyone.
When she found the old man's bedroom, Xiaofu pointed to a spot at the head of the bed and asked her to dig out her bangs.
When the bangs dug up the ground, a gray porcelain jar was revealed.
Holding the porcelain jar, the three of them quietly returned to Liu Hai's house.
