The next day, as soon as I opened the door, there was a blast of cold air.
"The temperature has dropped." Meng Xiaoman said, touching her arm.
"Well, do you want to wear some more clothes?" Xiao Xiangdong asked.
Meng Xiaoman shook his head, "Fortunately, it's not cold anymore after getting used to it. Do you want to wear another one?"
After all, she wore two pieces, while Xiao Xiangdong only wore a gray, slightly old tunic suit.
"I'm not cold."
It's Liu Zhi'er's turn to cook today's meal.
Originally, she thought that her three younger siblings would be fine at home, so she would take the initiative to do it, but thinking of her unwillingness to suffer, she still felt uneasy and took a look.
Sure enough, it was a cold pot and a cold stove, with no one cooking at all.
Liu Zhi'er quickly lit the fire and started cooking, thinking that these siblings were really ignorant.
Fortunately, breakfast was easy to make. My hands shook when I was mixing the pickles, and I added too much seasoning, so I was scolded by Xiao's mother.
"You have to be extravagant to cook a meal. If you eat everything now, you won't be able to survive in the future."
Meng Xiaoman, a master of martial arts, drank sweet potato porridge quietly and didn't even listen to Mrs. Xiao's criticism.
Even after finishing the drink, he quickly filled up half a bowl and gave Xiao Xiangdong an extra bowl.
After dinner, Liu Zhi'er went to Meng Xiaoman and asked if she could cook lunch. She happened to have nothing to do at home, so she didn't have to come back early and could earn half a work point more.
"I can switch with you, but when it's my turn next time, you have to do it for me."
In fact, cooking a meal is not a big deal, but many customs start from small things bit by bit.
The last time Xiao's mother asked her to wash the dishes and give them to Xiao Xixi, it was like this.
If you withdraw once, you may withdraw countless times.
Fortunately, this possibility was eliminated from the beginning.
Meng Xiaoman has seen many incidents in the last days where helping others ended up being killed.
She also considers herself not a kind and helpful person.
Humans are creatures of habit.
If you take a step back, others will take a step forward. If you take a step forward, they will habitually take two steps forward, or even a hundred steps forward.
Even, in the end, it was your fault for not letting him go.
When Liu Zhi'er heard this, her face turned ugly. She didn't expect that this tender-looking sister-in-law would be so unkind.
No wonder my mother-in-law, who has always been shrewd, shrank in front of her.
After everyone in the Xiao family went to work, Meng Xiaoman and Xiao Xiangdong went out and walked to the back of the village.
The Xiao family's old house has a small courtyard surrounded by loess, three main rooms and two side rooms, with loess walls and thatched roof.
The earthen walls have collapsed in some places, and skylights have been opened in some places on the roof.
Meng Xiaoman took a look and saw that the wall was in good condition and not cracked. It could just be covered with paper.
As for the roof, it needs to be rethatched.
"It's okay, but the roof needs to be repaired, and the furniture needs to be repaired."
The old house is a widow's house with no furniture in it.
"There is it in the thatching team. Just go to the party secretary and apply. I will find someone to repair the roof. As for the furniture, the wood on the mountain is public. You have to buy it or exchange it with work points. If you need to make furniture, Uncle Li in the village will make it and assign work points to him. , or just get some food or something."
"Uh-huh."
"Just leave these to me." Xiao Xiangdong is familiar with the villagers and is easy to talk to.
"What about my parents?"
I wonder if they are willing to let the two of them come out to live.
Originally, Meng Xiaoman thought it would be better to separate the family, but now the conflict between them and the Xiao family has not reached that level. Now that the family is being separated, she is not very reasonable.
"I'll go and tell you, it should be fine."
"Okay" Meng Xiaoman nodded in agreement, "By the way, can you tell me about Xiao Daqing?"
Xiao Xiangdong: "You want revenge?"
From the incident between Meng Xiaoman and Shen Jiaojiao, and the process of getting along with the Xiao family, Xiao Xiangdong knew that she was not a person willing to suffer losses.
In the past, Xiao Xiangdong would have advised her to consider peace as the most important thing and to suffer losses as blessings.
But after returning home injured this time.
He saw it clearly.
Peace is the most precious thing, and suffering is a blessing. It is just a sarcastic comment made by those who have not been hurt or suffered a disadvantage.
He values peace and has never competed with other children in the family, but no one accepts this favor. They all think this is what they should be, and this has always been the case.
He was also taught by his parents and elders that suffering a loss is a blessing.
Therefore, he swallowed the losses in his stomach, but he never saw the blessings.
wrong.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiangdong suddenly looked at the people around him.
An idea came to mind.
Perhaps, she was the blessing he had saved since childhood.
Meng Xiaoman was just thinking about how to take revenge on Xiao Daqing when she let out such a bad breath.
Suddenly, he noticed that the person next to him had stopped moving. He turned around and saw that he was looking at her with bright eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you tired? How about we take a rest."
"Not tired." Xiao Xiangdong shook his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
It must be her, the blessing he accumulated over the past twenty years.
Otherwise, how could she come to him at the darkest time in his life.
Seeing that he was not really tired, Meng Xiaoman continued:
"Yes, I can't swallow the fact that he slandered us."
"Don't act rashly on this matter. You, a girl, will suffer against him."
The physical gap between men and women is very large.
"Well, I won't go to him directly. I just want to know about his situation first."
The day after Xiao Daqing bit him back, Xiao Xiangdong went to Zhang Dongliang and Zhao Erlei in the village to inquire about Xiao Daqing's situation.
In every village, there are a few lepers, hooligans, and gangsters, and Xiao Daqing is one such person.
His father died young and he was brought up by his widowed mother. Although Daqing's mother was fierce and domineering, she loved her only son. Xiao Daqing was also spoiled and lazy. He spent three days at work fishing and two days working on the Internet. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would follow his friends and friends He is easy to hang out in town, and he usually likes to tease young wives and older girls. Because he is not stingy, has a thick skin, and is related to the captain Xiao Hongjun, so everyone basically turns a blind eye to him.
I just didn't expect that this time, he would be so bold and dare to really play tricks on the little girl.
"He doesn't have the courage, but money can make all the difference. Shen Jiaojiao gave him a lot of money."
Meng Xiaoman said slowly.
"That's not surprising. I heard from Dongliang that he has been hanging out with a few gangsters from the Shangou Brigade recently. Those people were arrested on the farm before for gambling."
"You mean, Xiao Daqing got into gambling?"
"Most likely."
Meng Xiaoman had a plan in mind.
When Xiao Xiangdong saw her like this, he guessed what she wanted to do, "It's not safe for you alone. I'll find someone to handle this."
Meng Xiaoman nodded obediently, but in her heart she made up her mind to take revenge herself.
