The Siheyuan started with the young He Yuzhu

Chapter 270 Li Xiuzhi

"Okay, then take your time on the road." Seeing this, the Queen Mother nodded helplessly and agreed, since her daughter is getting older, and she can't help herself.Wang's father passed away early, and Wang Xia followed her relatives to Hong Kong Island to work and earn money when she was 13 years old.Now it can be said that she is the pillar of the family. When she was in Hong Kong Island, she would send money back every month. With this money, the Queen Mother can manage the family and support her younger siblings.

……

Sichuan province.In a small mountain village near Rongcheng.On the top of the mountain, several little girls were collecting firewood so that they could go to the commune to exchange jobs.Suddenly, a young man ran wildly from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, he saw a group of girls not far away and shouted: "Xiuzhi, Xiuzhi, your aunt is back! Your father told you to hurry up!" go home!"

"Auntie?" Li Xiuzhi showed doubts on her face, but she quickly came back to her senses with a hint of joy on her face. She remembered that her father had told her before that an aunt in the family went to Sijiu City with his man in the early years. I send some money back every year.

However, because of the war, we have not been in touch for many years.I didn't expect my aunt to come back now!Thinking of her aunt's return, Li Xiuzhen hurriedly carried a small bamboo basket and ran all the way to the village down the mountain.

Lijia Village is close to the southwest of Rongcheng. This area is full of mountains, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. Most of the villagers in the mountains rely on planting crops for a living.However, the land in the mountain is barren. Adhering to the principle of relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and relying on the water to drink water, the people of Lijia Village will not only grow crops, but also hunt on the mountain, and dig some fungi and wild vegetables on the mountain to eat.

In recent years, the rain in Sichuan Province has been scarce, and it has been difficult to make a living by growing crops. In order to get more food, the people of Lijia Village also organize people to pick fungi on the mountain every day.

"Xiuzhi! Xiuzhi!" Seeing her daughter coming back with a bamboo basket, Li's mother hurried up and smiled happily: "Come into the room, ~ your aunt is back!"

With that said, Li's mother took Li Xiuzhi's hand and helped her put down the bamboo basket on her back, and the two walked quickly into a dirt-house.

At this time, there were seven or eight people sitting in the earthen hut, some old and some young, most of them were relatives-friends with Li Xiuzhi.At the moment, sitting on the top seat is a woman who is only about fifty years old, dressed in beautiful clothes, and looks very rich.

"Sister, this is my daughter, Xiuzhi, Li Xiuzhi." Father Li hurriedly said to his sister when he saw his daughter coming in.

The aunt looked at Xiuzhi, her eyes lit up and said: "This is Xiuzhi, she is so handsome, even prettier than those girls I saw in Forty-Nine City!"

"Come to Xiuzhi, come here and show my aunt a good look. When I left, you were not at home."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhi walked over embarrassedly and called out, "Auntie!"

"Hey, girl is so good!" The aunt touched her niece's hair with a smile, and then took out a gold hairpin from the package she brought with her, pinned it to Li Xiuzhi's hair and said, "Wear this, it looks good." !"

"No, I don't want my aunt, it's too precious." Li Xiuzhi touched the golden hairpin on her head, and was so frightened that she quickly took it off and wanted to return it to her aunt.This is gold!Old valuable!
"It's okay, you can keep the one that auntie gave you. You haven't seen auntie since you were a child. Now that auntie is back, she must wear it for you."

The aunt smiled and pinned the golden hairpin on Li Xiuzhi's head, and said with a smile as she looked at it, "It's really pretty, our Xiuzhi is so handsome, I must find you a good husband-in-law from now on."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhi's face turned red.After teasing the niece for a while, the aunt smiled, then turned to look at Father Li and said, "What did my father say when he left?"

Father Li sighed and said, "Before he left, Dad said that he was very sad that he couldn't see you again. He told me that if you come back in the future, you should go to the grave to see the old man."

"Ah!" Hearing that his father was still thinking about himself before he left, the aunt felt a little uncomfortable, and sighed, "When the little devil came to Beijing, I cut off contact with my hometown. Although I wrote letters later, but Because of the perennial war, you have not received the letter."

"When I first entered the new world, I was going to write a letter back, but something happened to the master's house, and I didn't have time to ask someone to write a letter back."

"Sister, I know you must have a hard time in the capital, it's fine." Li's father shook his head. If his sister and brother-in-law hadn't gone to other places to send money back then, he might not have gotten a wife.

There is no way, this Lijia Village is close to the mountains, and it is very poor. In addition, during the Anti-Japanese War, some men left, and the life of this village is getting more and more difficult.

"I'm pretty good in the capital." The aunt said, "My clients are very nice to the servants, and they pay their salaries on time every month."

"Sister, why are you back? By the way, where is my brother-in-law?" Father Li asked curiously. "Your brother-in-law has passed away, and he has been sick for several years."

The aunt obviously didn't want to mention her dead husband, so she re-said: "Now the city is engaged in joint ventures. The client died of illness two years ago, and there was only one young lady left in the family. Later, he found an uncle and dismissed us."

"Dismissed? You're not going back, sister?" Father Li's face brightened. I haven't seen my eldest sister for more than [-] years. Is this time I want to stay in the village head?
"I won't go back." The aunt shook her head and said, "Originally, the lady asked those of us who wanted to stay in Sijiu City, so she helped find a job. If you don't want to stay, she will give each of us a little severance pay."

"I thought about not having a child with your brother-in-law in these years, and I also saved a little money, so I wanted to go back to my hometown and enjoy my old age here."

Father Li nodded and said, "Sister, then you can stay at home. It just so happens that Dad's house is not damaged yet, so you can live in it if you find someone to repair it."

"Well, I don't know about the house now." The aunt took out 50 yuan from her pocket, handed it to Father Li, and said, "There is some money here. You can use it to repair the house."

"Sister, what are you doing here? It doesn't take so much money to repair the house, and I still have me!" Father Li's face changed, thinking that his sister was cheating on him again.

"Come on, I see that you don't have anything in this house, so you don't have any money. If you need to buy something, just do it. My sister will have to rely on you to support me in the future."

Auntie saw it very well, she has no heirs, it would be nice if she could continue to serve Miss Chen, but everyone knows the situation in the city.

My aunt was dismissed and came back, but she didn't complain. After all, Ms. Chen still gave the dismissed people different choices. Those who stayed in the city arranged jobs, and those who wanted to go back to their hometown would give a sum of money.The aunt was afraid that she would be old and no one would take care of her, so she decided to go back to her hometown, to take care of herself and see her parents and brothers whom she hadn't seen for many years.

But who knows that his parents passed away many years ago.Now there is only one brother in the family.The aunt also thought that she would have to rely on this brother's heirs to provide for the elderly in the future, but she also wanted to pay more money now so that her nephew and niece could take care of her in the future.
