all the way

It was not only Maoer and Su Xiaohui who were shocked by Liu Xia's rapidly rising body, but also Liu Hai, who was already 1.8 meters three, didn't quite believe it. Same, too skinny, but Yaoer, how dare you wear jeans? You are awesome!"

Liu Xia swayed a few times: "As long as you have a fiery heart, you can be a good socialist youth in whatever you wear!"

Liu Chuan looked proudly at his two extremely handsome younger brothers, and put the four dishes he bought on the small table under the shade of the tree: "Mao'er, help Third Aunt with the chopsticks, Yao'er, Xiao Hai, eat."

Mao'er happily distributed bowls and chopsticks to everyone, and looked at Liu Xia every time he distributed one. Liu Xia grinned at him, and Mao'er also smiled.

He didn't know why, anyway, since he saw his uncle, he couldn't control his mouth and always wanted to laugh.

Su Xiaohui put a floor fan next to them, and pulled out a long wire socket from the house. The cat looked at the fan and shook its head and turned it around, then squatted down and slowly moved the fan to see if the fan was blowing. The direction was just right, so he stood up and sat beside Liu Xia.

Liu Chuan said to Liu Xia: "It's very smart. I watched your third sister-in-law fiddle with it once. Every time he moved, he would go over and adjust the direction to the best place. If your third sister-in-law made noodles at noon, he would help Peel the garlic, when your third sister-in-law came back from buying vegetables, he ran all the way to pick them up."

Su Xiaohui's appearance has hardly changed, she still tied her ponytail with a handkerchief, she is beautiful and cheerful, but the smile on her face is full of happiness, she looked at the cat and said: "Well, I woke up early in the morning and folded the towels and quilts by myself. But it’s neat, I told your third brother, if only we had a child, it would be great if we could be as obedient and smart as Maoer.”

Liu Xia patted Mao'er's head: "Really so good?"

Mao'er's face was a little red, she was embarrassed, but she looked at Liu Xia with bright eyes, and looked a little proud.

Liu Xia put a piece of braised pork in the cat's bowl, and the cat picked up the small bowl, pulled the meat into its mouth, closed its mouth, chewed like a little squirrel, but kept looking at Liu Xia.

Liu Xia just hugged him on his lap and sat there. Mao'er was a little surprised, but didn't move.

Su Xiaohui laughed: "It's so hot, if you let him sit on your lap, you will definitely get prickly heat on your lap. After dinner, you and the cat can go to the house to sleep for a while. There is a big mat on the floor. The child misses you all the time." , I know that you came back today, and you didn’t sleep at all when it was dark. I just heard your third brother say that you always love cats, and I only know when I see you today, it’s true!"

Liu Hai said: "Third Sister-in-Law, don't worry about him, Mao'er was raised by Yao'er, we haven't seen each other for half a year, he must be panicking, just ask him to hold him!"

The cat was brought by Liu Chuan when he came home last week. They finished the exam, and the teacher had to correct the exam papers. On July [-]st, they went to receive the notice and they would be on holiday. The cat is brought back.

After Liu Xia comes back, he will definitely accompany Liu Hai in Rongze until the end of the college entrance examination, but it is impossible for Liu Xia to return to Rongze and not be with the cat. In such a hot day, Liu Chuan does not want Liu Xia to run back and forth , the road from Wangning to Liujialing is so hot that he almost has a heat stroke.

After they got married, Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui did not divide the bedroom and kitchen into two places. The house assigned to Liu Chuan by the unit was at the east end of the family courtyard, and there was a few meters of open space beside it. They added a separate small kitchen there. If they have time, the two of them will cook a meal, most of which are eaten in the cafeteria of the Public Security Bureau.

Liu Chuan was busy, and Su Xiaohui was also busy leading the senior year for the first time this year, so she couldn't cook on time.

The house that Su Xiaohui was assigned to in Rongze High School now lives in Liu Hai.

Liu Xia looked at Liu Chuan's small room after marriage. There was a big vermilion bed, a TV set on a three-double table with the unit mark, and a large cabinet on the opposite side of the bed with a suitcase on it. A dressing table, a light green double-tub washing machine behind the door, and a rolled mat standing beside the washing machine.

The house is not big, and these things fill the room to the brim, leaving only a place in the middle where a mat for two people can be spread.

But the room was clean and tidy, exuding a quiet and warm feeling.

Liu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, at least it seemed that the third brother's room was no more shabby than other people's new houses.

When Liu Xia came back, Mao'er no longer needed to live with Liu Chuan, and Liu Xia took him to live with Liu Hai.

Mao'er is very sensible and obedient. When Liu Hai came back, he didn't even say a word, and he never disturbed Liu Hai's reading or resting, which made Liu Hai feel embarrassed. He said to Mao'er: "Uncle Liu is not so delicate. It doesn’t matter if the exam is good or not, it doesn’t matter if you say a few words to Uncle Six, you can do whatever you want here, if you don’t pass? If you are so careful, your uncle will definitely beat me up.”

Only then did Mao'er relax a bit, and finally he was willing to laugh loudly with Liu Xia.

On the second day after Liu Xia came back, he took the cat to find Chu Xiaohe while Liu Hai was eating lunch.

Liu Xia was wearing jeans with a pure white round neck T-shirt that Mao Jianyong bought for the whole dormitory before the holiday. Such a dress was very fashionable in Rongze. Although Liu Xia didn't feel it at all, he was also very obvious.

So Chu Xiaohe saw him from a long distance, but he just stood up holding the bowl and didn't come over. He waited for Liu Xia to call his name before he ran over.

It should be said that Chu Xiaohe's appearance has changed a lot, mainly because he put on myopia glasses. He looked at Liu Xia with joy and envy: "I thought you wouldn't know me anymore. Are you on vacation?"

Liu Xia glanced at the noodles in Chu Xiaohe's bowl mixed with minced pork, and said with a smile, "Ye'er came back early in the morning and left it at my third brother's place, and came to accompany my sixth brother when it was dark. How about you? Fenghe Bro?"

Chu Xiaohe looked around at the classmates squatting in the shade of the trees eating and said: "I will just do it like this, study hard and resign myself to fate; my brother is on the construction site, he shows the site to others, and he can't leave all day long."

Liu Xia said: "If you let your fate go, you don't need to study hard, Xiaohe, you will definitely win. Really, that's how I feel. I think you will definitely be admitted to the university. Study hard!"

Chu Xiaohe nodded vigorously: "I know."

Liu Xia and Chu Xiaohe left shortly after talking. Chu Xiaohe and Liu Hai are precious every second now, and he can't delay them.

During dinner, Liu Xia tentatively asked Su Xiaohui: "Sister-in-law three, can you ask Xiaohe to live with us for a few days? It's so hot in the dormitory that I can't sleep."

Liu Chuan took over the conversation: "He doesn't live. Your sixth brother told your third sister-in-law that he wanted Xiaohe to come and live with him within a few days after he came back. The dormitory was too hot to live in. Xiaohe refused to say anything. Your three sisters My sister-in-law told him that he would not live there either."

Su Xiaohui said: "Xiaohe and his brother are actually very particular people, and they don't want to cause trouble for others."

In this case, Liu Xia didn't try to persuade Chu Xiaohe anymore, he thought that if he changed the location, he probably wouldn't live there either.

When this thought flashed, Shao Yan's shadow also flashed across his mind,

Liu Xia told Liu Chuan again that Liu Hai cannot be allowed to eat from the restaurant recently.

In dormitory 219, Zhang Fusheng was the only one who did not pass the exam. Liu Xia was a little afraid of the reason why he repeated the exam. It was food poisoning during the college entrance examination, and he didn't enter the exam room at all during the English exam.

Zhang Fusheng's cousin works in the county, and he is very nice. When Zhang Fusheng took the college entrance examination, he asked for leave to take care of Zhang Fusheng. Just like Liu Chuan let Liu Xia eat his favorite stewed noodles every day at noon, Zhang Fusheng's cousin is also at school every day. A nearby small restaurant took up a seat for him and let him eat his favorite pork shredded hot pot noodles, and bought him a plate of meat every meal.

In the end, there was something wrong with the plate of meat. Zhang Fusheng ate at noon, and before entering the examination room in the afternoon, he vomited and had diarrhea.

Liu Chuan was a little scared when he heard about Zhang Fusheng, and decided that Liu Hai should just eat in the cafeteria of the Public Security Bureau. The fat chef is very particular about cooking.

Watching Liu Hai eat dinner and go to self-study in the evening, Liu Xia came out with the cat with a bagful of things.

Wang Zhanjie's principal's office was still in the same place. Liu Xia knocked on the door, and Wang Zhanjie's deep voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Liu Xia pushed open the door and called out, "Teacher Wang."

Wang Zhanjie was about to go out with two books in his hand, when he saw Liu Xia laughed: "Liu Xia? He has grown into a young man in one year? He is still a handsome boy!" He saw Liu Xia holding Liu Xia's hand. The cat: "This is—the cat, right? Why don't you say anything, baby?"

Mao'er looked at Liu Xia, but remained silent.

Liu Xia said: "Cat, call, call..." He didn't know what it would be appropriate for the cat to be called Wang Zhanjie.

Wang Zhanjie laughed heartily: "Call me Grandpa, I look old, so Grandpa looks good to me."

The cat actually barked: "Grandpa."

Liu Xia also laughed, and handed the things in his hands to Wang Zhanjie: "Mr. Wang, this is the preserved egg I brought back from Jiangcheng. Well, peel it off, cut it into a few teeth and mix it with some soy sauce. The hot bun is delicious when sandwiched, and the aftertaste is particularly fragrant."

Wang Zhanjie froze for a moment, but reached out to take it: "Are you here as a gift for the teacher?"

Liu Xia was stunned: "A gift? It's just a few duck eggs made into preserved eggs, this..."

Wang Zhanjie laughed again: "It's okay, I'll accept it, but just this once, when you come back to see the teacher in the future, the teacher will be happy and don't take anything anymore."

Liu Xia nodded: "Understood."

Wang Zhanjie opened his pocket and took a look: "I've only heard of it but haven't seen it. If it's really as delicious as you said, I'll take it home and ask my mother and your teacher to taste it."

Wang Zhanjie asked Liu Xia a few more about his school situation. He was very happy to hear that he had won the first-class scholarship last semester and encouraged him to continue working hard.

Liu Xia quickly left and came out, Wang Zhanjie still had classes in the evening.

Zhan Wei asked his mother to buy the preserved eggs. It was made by an acquaintance himself. It was three cents cheaper than the one in the store. Liu Xia didn't dare to waste money, so he bought [-]. Except Mao Jianyong's hometown also had them, so he didn't buy them. Others in the dormitory Everyone bought it, and Hei Deqing bought two boxes at once, two hundred pieces.

Liu Xia also bought two sets of clothes and a pair of sandals for Mao'er, Liu Wei and Liu Rui each had a pair of sandals, but when he saw Mao'er, he saw that he was wearing sandals as well. She proudly stretched out her feet to show him.

In the next few days, Liu Xia and Mao'er lived very regularly. They got up at 05:30 in the morning. After washing up, they ran along the street to the Zehe River, and came back to the Public Security Bureau just in time for dinner.

After eating, I brought Liu Hai a copy back to Rongze High School. Liu Hai went to class after eating, while others read or wrote in the room. As soon as Maoer arrived at Rongze Yanagawa, he bought him ink and two brushes. It didn't delay his calligraphy practice.

After writing for about an hour and a half, the two of them wandered the streets for a while, and then went to the Public Security Bureau for dinner when they felt that it was almost time.

After dinner in the evening, Liu Hai went to self-study in the evening. Liu Xia and Maoer went out together. Not far from the old city, there were crop fields and small forests. The two of them touched the "old ancient dragon", and they could touch fifty or sixty in one night. .

Hand over "Old Gulong" to Liu Chuan, and Liu Xia and Mao'er are ready to watch TV.

The cat always moves a small bench, sits upright about three meters away from the TV, puts one hand in Liu Xia's, and focuses on the small screen with black and clear eyes. magical world.

The [-]-inch black and white TV brought him infinite surprise and joy.

When seeing something he likes, Mao'er will look at Liu Xia's face, wondering if his uncle likes it too.

At this time, Liu Xia would pinch Mao'er's little face or nose, and give him a knowing smile.

Liu Hai can eat about twenty ancient dragons every night, and Liu Xia said it was for his nutrition.

Liu Xia’s biggest feeling for Rongze High School these days is tension and depression. There are only more than 800 students in the third grade on the campus, which looks more empty than his campus of the University of Surveying and Mapping, but all the students are one day. Holding books in their arms at night, the teachers are also in a hurry with serious expressions, but the spacious space feels heavy and cramped.

Although they are younger high school students, the school does not have the youthful atmosphere of the University of Surveying and Mapping.

There is also Su Xiaohui, she is even more nervous than Liu Hai and Chu Xiaohe. In her first year of teaching senior high school, it is a personal matter for students who do not pass the exam. , The psychological pressure is very high.

In the early morning of July [-]th, when Liu Hai, Liu Xia and Mao Er went to the Public Security Bureau for dinner, they saw Chu Fenghe coming with two lunch boxes as soon as they left the school gate.

Chu Fenghe looked much better than when he was in Wangning, at least his complexion was not so gloomy, but the scar on his left jaw was very conspicuous on his thin face.

When Liu Xia took Mao'er and Chu Fenghe together, and was waiting for Liu Hai and Chu Xiaohe under the big pagoda tree in front of Shao Yan's rented house, Chu Fenghe told him:

"Since Xiaohe came to Rongze last year until now, I haven't asked him to return to Wangning once. I took advantage of his school leave to go back and clean up the two of us. On Sundays and holidays, Xiaohe and I went to live on the construction site. For the rest of his life, he never planned to call Xiaohe back to Wangning. That old bastard's heart was completely dark. He heard that Liu Chuan had found a job for me, and he might have made money, so he came to me when I went back to work, and said I’m not in good health now, I’m his child, I should support him, he won’t let me serve him with excrement and urine, and ask me to pay him 20 yuan a month in the future, or go to the village to sue me.”

Chu Fenghe now works two jobs during the day and at night, earning 45 yuan a month.

Liu Xia said: "This kind of bastard, it's useless to tell him anything, just kick him to death with your feet."

Chu Fenghe said: "I'm afraid that there may be such a day."

During the three days of waiting for Liu Hai's exam, Liu Xia felt more nervous than he did when he was in the college entrance exam.

Chu Xiaohe's reaction to the exam was similar to that of most other candidates. He felt that he did not do well, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might have done something wrong.

Liu Xia comforted him and said that he was too nervous, but in fact everyone is like this.

Chu Xiaohe said: "I heard Brother Liu Chuan say that you are not, you think the exam is good after every round, Liu Xia, I will definitely not pass the exam this year."

Liu Xia was helpless, and didn't know what to say.

Chu Fenghe said: "If you don't pass the exam, you can continue to review. Brother will support you anytime."

Liu Hai didn't think the questions were too difficult, but the overall feeling was not good.

After Liu Hai came out of the mathematics test, Wang Zhanjie came over to ask him about his situation. After listening to him, Wang Zhanjie said: "I think it's pretty good. If you perform like mathematics in other subjects, you should be fine."

Even though I said that, everyone was still thinking about it. After all, this is the college entrance examination, and many students who usually have excellent grades have fallen into the sand. Therefore, before the results are out, no one can guarantee that they will pass the line.

Wang Zhanjie said he was the only one who had taught senior high school classes for eight years, like Liu Xia who felt so good after the exam.

On the [-]th, Liu Hai wrote a letter to Zeng Guangtong, expressing his feelings, and put the letter directly into the mailbox outside the post office, and then Liu Hai, Liu Xia, and Mao Er went home by car.

Together with them, Yanagawa sent two bags of noodles, one bag of corn flour, and one bag of white flour.

Liu Xia asked: "Third brother, why are you buying food at home? Our family is gone?"

Liu Chuan waved his hand: "It's okay, you are all back, bring some insurance home."

Getting off the car at Wangning, Liu Kui and Liu Wei waited on the side of the road with a shelf cart. On the way back, Liu Hai and Liu Xia found out why Liu Chuan was buying food at this time.

It turned out that last year, due to the drought, several brigades in the mountainous area in the south of Wangning basically had no grain harvest. Only a small amount of sloping land in Liujialing was harvested by manual watering. The average wheat per family was less than [-] catties. Corn is better, with [-] catties per person.

The new county magistrate of Wangning is said to be from the city. He thinks that Rongze, a large agricultural county, has lost face to the Wangning county government by applying for food relief from the country. Less than one-third of previous years, leading to the advent of winter, several mountain brigades in the south almost lost their lives.

On the day Mao'er was bullied by the Niu sisters, Liu Changqing and Liu Kui went to the village with Niu Tuo and several other brigade secretaries to talk about food relief.

It turns out that when the land was not contracted to the peasants, the food had to be distributed uniformly by the collective, and the larger labor tools were also owned by the collective. If the villagers used it, they had to be approved by the cadres. privilege, so although they are not enthusiastic, there are still some cadres in several brigades in Wanhe who are reluctant to do it.

Now the land is owned by the villagers, and all the collective property is distributed to the villagers. The cadres have no rights, but they are required to travel dozens of miles of mountain roads every year to see other people's faces and ask the villagers for food relief. If there is less, you have to listen to complaints from the villagers and even suspect framing. The cadres of the Wanhe and Shitougou brigades have quit.

When the township cadres needed the cooperation of the brigade secretaries, they changed their usual cold faces and asked someone to send a message to those brigade secretaries, asking them to go to the township government for a meeting to solve their problems, but those people ignored them. The village has nothing to do with them.

People just don't want to be cadres, and they didn't kill and set fire, what can we do with them?

When Liu Changqing and the others went to ask for relief food, there was someone who helped each other talk. Now, Niutuo and Liu Kui went alone, and the cadres in charge of civil affairs in the township always ignored them. They often ran dozens of miles of mountain roads Go, you won't even see the person in charge.

That time, Liu Changqing asked Liu Kui to go to the secretaries of several brigades near Wangning in advance, and made an appointment with them to go to the village on the same day, and put pressure on the village together, fearing that something might happen that Liu Kui and Niutuo could not handle, Liu Changqing also followed went.

On that day, the village cadres probably gave the date and amount of relief food, and Liu Changqing left, and it was almost ten o'clock at night when he got home.

When Liu Xia and the others celebrated the Spring Festival happily at home, the hearts of the adults in the family were like frying in a frying pan. It was not until after the Spring Festival that the village added some relief food that they spent the spring wild vegetables and young leaves. The spring famine.

Liu Kui didn't tell Liu Hai and Liu Xia that the young officer in charge of civil affairs in the village announced the additional relief food for the brigades and turned around to complain: "Damn, it's reasonable for a dick to beg for food. If you dare to play tricks on the township government, It’s all a problem that Wang Changmin and his gang got used to.”

Zhao Yongxiang’s son, Zhao Xuelin, came to Luogezhuang in mid-November this year, carrying grain, vegetables, and rough cloth. When Liu Kui gave him the dried rabbits, Zhao Xuelin hesitated for a while before saying that they would never come to Luogezhuang to pull coal again. up.

In the past few years, the policy has been liberalized. Several villages in the north have a lot of food, but they can't sell it. Every household has started to raise pigs and chickens. Now they don't have to compete with the people in the city for meat.

But the most important thing is that in the past two years, the number of media reselling from Wangning and Sandaohe to the north has increased rapidly. Now there are not only three rounds, but also large trucks sending them there. It takes a few extra dollars, and someone will deliver the matchmaker to your door.

Although the coal sent to Luogezhuang is not as good and clean as it is pulled by myself, there are a little more stones and branches inside, but I have to go back and forth on the road for two or three days in the cold winter to get to Luogezhuang to pull the coal. These can be ignored. Excluding.

Zhao Yongxiang is several years older than Liu Changqing, and is already in his early sixties. For the past two years, Luo Gezhuang has been occupied by Zhao Xuelin.

Zhao Xuelin said: "I wanted to tell you about this when I came here in May this year. On the way, I heard that the drought here is very severe, and the wheat harvest may be lost, so I am not ashamed to say it.

Brother Liu Kui, I’m so sorry, this is the last time I’ve been here, and I’m the first to change rabbits with Uncle Changqing when I came here, and they also feel old and feel sorry for you , but I can't do anything about it, it takes days and nights to come back, it's always difficult. "

Liu Kui had already noticed that the number of people who came to pull coal with Zhao Xuelin in the past two years was less and less, and this time there were only five or six vans. He had already expected this day, so he was not too surprised.

After Liu Xia and Liu Hai heard Liu Kui's words, the first thought in their hearts was: What will happen at home in the future?How much money will the third brother spend every year to buy food for the family in the future?

Liu Kui looked at the serious faces of his two younger brothers who were elated at returning home, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry about my son, life is always going well. I heard that the road from Wangning to Sandaohe will also be paved. Asphalt road, I will be able to earn money by then, and now that I have money, I can buy food everywhere, and my eldest brother can support our family."

Liu Wei said: "If they start building roads now, I can also earn money with my uncle. I can do everything now."

The cat was sitting on the shelf car. He probably understood what the adults meant, and said with a puffy face, "I will study hard and get admitted to Kyoto University. I can earn a lot of money. I will give it to my grandparents, uncle, mother, and so on." With you, there are so many delicious things to buy."

By the Fengxi River, Liu Xia and the others repeated all the happy things in previous summers, except that Liu Hai and Liu Xia could no longer take a bath in the Fengxi River without nakedness.

After all, they are still young, and the pressure from life can't suppress their energetic hearts. They don't think about those heavy things all the time.

Liu Xin has already stumbled and can run a few steps, she is curious about everything, seeing her uncles and brothers playing so happily in the river, when she can't see him, she wants to run into the river by herself, Liu Hai is just like Liu Xia in previous years , like an old lady has been carrying him on his back.

Liu Wei's dog planer is very proficient;

Liu Hui is also good, but the speed is not as fast as that of the cat. The cat is really like a loach in the water. It never knows to be afraid and can hold back in the water for a long time without showing its head.

The cat's milk was out of stock. Liu Xia bought him five bags of the most expensive milk powder in Rongze and brought them back. Let the cat drink three times a day. This is a luxury consumption for them, but the whole family loves it. No problem, Liu Xia wanted to spend every penny of the money he saved on the cat, and his family also thought it should be.

On Saturday night, Su Xiaohui and Liu Chuan came back together. Liu Chuan returned to Rongze after a Sunday at home, and Su Xiaohui stayed in Liujialing.

Su Xiaohui doesn't know how to sew clothes, so she doesn't have anything to do except help Sun Chang'e and Xiumei choose vegetables and cook, so she tutors Liu Wei and Liu Rui with their summer homework.

After the summer vacation, Liu Wei will start English class at the beginning of school. Wang Ning junior high school English teacher Liu Xia and the others have all experienced it before, and they are not very good.

Su Xiaohui taught Liu Wei a small lesson in advance, starting from the most basic 26 letters, and Liu Rui and Maoer also followed suit. They liked their new aunt very much.

After Liu Xia came back, Liu Changqing positively praised Liu Changqing for his practice of running script for the first time, so he was stunned for several days, and took the initiative to increase the time for practicing calligraphy by one hour every day.

Mao'er is currently practicing calligraphy under the guidance of Liu Changqing. He said that Liu Xia's current official script is a bit distracted, and he needs to put together the posts carefully, and more importantly, he needs to experience it quietly.

So during most of this summer vacation, Liu Changqing and Liu Kui supervised the practice of the calligraphy of the little guys.

Every day Liu Hai and Liu Xia climbed trees to pick wild fruits, stick wheat season birds, and look for goji berries to eat. It looked very relaxed, but Liu Xia understood his uneasiness very well.

Liu Hai behaved very relaxed and happy in front of the rest of the family, as if he didn't mind the results of the college entrance examination at all, only when he returned to the cave dwelling where they lived every night, only when the three of them were together, Liu Hai would put his own Worry manifests itself.

Zeng Guangtong wrote in a letter saying that he can guarantee that Liu Hai's grades in professional courses will be fine, and he will wait for Liu Hai's cultural courses.

Liu Hai's voluntary report was advised by Zeng Guangtong in advance, and all of them were from universities in Kyoto.

One morning in late July, Su Xiaohui suddenly felt unwell while eating breakfast, but she couldn't tell exactly where she was feeling. Liu Kui hurried to invite Wu Yuni, and Wu Yuni took Su Xiaohui's pulse and said with a smile, "I'm so happy! You There is another addition to the family."

The news made the whole family very happy.

Mao'er asked Liu Xia, "Should we have a little brother again?"

Liu Xia said, "Maybe it's the little sister."

The cat opened its eyes wide, then wrinkled its small face and said, "We don't want the little sister to hit?"

Liu Xia was surprised: "Why? Our family is all children, your grandma and mother both want a girl!"

The cat said: "What if the girl is like Liu Mudan?"

Mao'er was worried that the rest of the Liu family didn't have time to think about it, because Su Xiaohui's reaction was very serious at the beginning, and she couldn't eat anything, and she vomited out all the food she barely ate.

Apart from wild vegetables at home, there are only a few vegetables grown in the yard and by the river, and the wild fruits are not yet in season, so the family thinks it would be more appropriate for Su Xiaohui to return to Rongze to raise her baby.

Of course Su Xiaohui wanted to stay with Liu Chuan very much, but she knew that Liu Chuan was very busy, and her going back like this would be useless except to cause trouble for Liu Chuan, and the pregnancy reaction would not disappear even in Rongze.

And she also likes living in a cool cave dwelling very much. When she returned to Rongze, it was so hot all day long that she had nowhere to go.

Liu Chuan bought a lot of things on Saturday and came home, and when he found out that Su Xiaohui was pregnant, he was so happy that he could only smile silly.

Liu Changqing called him to the cave where he lived, and told him not to buy anything for the family in the future, nor to give Liu Hai any more money. Liu Chuan will soon have a family of his own, and he has to think more about his children and family.

Liu Chuan didn't say anything. He got up early on Sunday morning and wanted to go to Wangning to buy some melons and fruits for Su Xiaohui. Sun Chang'e told him that Liu Hai and Liu Xia had already left at four o'clock.

Because Liu Xia said the weather was hot and didn't let him go to Wangning, Mao'er was angry with Liu Xia for the first time. After Liu Xia left, he sat in the corner of the kang by himself and didn't eat breakfast. After Liu Xia came back from Wangning, he Don't talk to Liu Xia, and don't eat the tomatoes and watermelons Liu Xia bought.

After Liu Xia washed the tomatoes, he took a tooth of watermelon and sat beside him. No matter how much he teased the cat, he didn't open his mouth, and kept staring at him angrily.

When Liu Xia saw that the cat was really angry, he was so distressed that he panted on purpose and said, "I'm so hot, baby, it's too hot today, my uncle is going to be so hot, you hold the watermelon, little boy!" Uncle has to take a bath in the river."

The cat became anxious: "Don't dare, my grandma said, I dare not go down the river when I am sweating, the water in the Fengxi River is always frozen, if I get agitated, I will get seriously ill, and my bones will hurt all day long."

Liu Xia laughed for a while: "My cat still loves me, so you can fan my uncle, he is always hot!"

Mao'er looked at Liu Xia's sweat and sweat-soaked T-shirt, pouted, picked up the fan, and fanned Liu Xia vigorously.

Liu Xia put the watermelon near his mouth, Mao'er puffed up and said, "You eat it before I eat it."

Liu Xia took a bite, then fed the cat again, the cat took a bite, and the two of them were reconciled.

Liu Changqing overheard Liu Hai saying that Liu Chuan's work colleagues raised funds to buy a building, but Liu Chuan never mentioned it to his family.

This is the first time Liu Changqing heard that people who go to work may not be given housing by the state in the future, and they may have to buy it for themselves. He looked at his home, and there was nothing except the cave and the kang inside. What did he take? How about helping Liu Chuan, who is sensible and family-friendly, buy a house?

Two days after Liu Chuan left, Liu Yu went home. He rushed to work for three consecutive weeks and did not go home. This time he would stay a few days longer when he came back. He bought Liu Hai a beautiful hard leather diary and a pair of white pull-back shoes. He firmly believed that Liu Hai would be admitted to university, so he gave the gift in advance.

Liu Xia gave Liu Hai 20 yuan and asked him to go to Wangning every two or three days to buy some fruits and vegetables for Su Xiaohui to eat.

Liu Yu pushed him back immediately: "It's not up to you to take care of the family affairs now. I have money, so I'll buy it for my third sister-in-law."

From then on, every two days, Liu Yu and Liu Hai went to Wangning, and the food they bought was frozen in the Fengxi River for Su Xiaohui to eat, and Maoer and Liu Xin could also eat some.

In the first few days, Su Xiaohui felt that she had to vomit after eating, and she felt too uncomfortable when she vomited, so she refused to eat.

Sun Chang'e said to her: "As long as you eat it in your stomach, even if you spit it out again, the baby will eat a little bit if you leave it in your stomach. If you don't eat anything, how will your baby grow?"

Su Xiaohui felt that this made sense, so she insisted on eating from now on, vomited after eating, and continued to eat after vomiting.

She was really open-minded, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she didn't frown, she insisted on teaching Liu Wei and the others English, she said: "Anyway, I've never heard of a pregnancy reaction that makes people vomit to death, no matter how uncomfortable it is, it's only half a year, just get over it. "

Su Xiaohui's performance made everyone in the family like her even more.

In the past few nights, Liu Xia seems to have returned to the time when he went to school in Wangning. Liu Yu, Liu Hai, himself and the cat huddled together to sleep on a big kang, you kicked me and I kicked you, talking about their respective classes. The new and strange things that happened in the book, and then made a fool of a certain classmate, and fell asleep unconsciously.

If Liu Ling wasn't missing, it would be even more perfect.

But now, their topics are different, Liu Yu is basically talking about Sun Yufang.

Because of seeing Liu Mao's second marriage, Liu Yu is now eager and afraid of getting married, and his marriage has been put on the family's agenda.

Liu Yu is 21 years old. According to the calculation of the family, he is already 23. Many children around his age in the village have already run around.

He's not Yanagawa, he doesn't have a formal salary, and he doesn't have commodity grain, so he can't afford it.

Liu Yu put her head on Liu Hai's back, and murmured: "Xiao Hai, Yao'er, if I have a bad life in the future, don't laugh at me!... I also want to talk about a girl who is as beautiful and beautiful as our sister-in-law." Virtuous daughter-in-law, I also want to find someone who is as educated and reasonable as our third sister-in-law. She is filial to my uncle and my uncle and mother. I will treat her well, love her, and don't ask her to do heavy work. It's so clean, I feel so beautiful when I get home...

But, who told us to be poor, who told us to be born in this big mountain nest, and only after we went out did we know why people outside are not willing to marry their daughters to us... I don’t know if Sun Yufang really would As filial as she said, but I dare not choose... If I miss this, I may not even find a girl who is willing to marry us here... Now I regret that I didn't study hard... But I regret it regret……"

At noon on the sixth day after Liu Yu came back, Liu Chuan came back with a notice from Liu Hai: XX Academy of Fine Arts, Department of Chinese Painting.

Amidst the shouts of excitement from Liu Yu, Liu Xia, and Liu Wei, Liu Hai took the admission notice and looked at it for a while, then suddenly hugged Liu Changqing who was standing beside him.

He was already half a head taller than Liu Changqing, so he lowered his head and lay on Liu Changqing's shoulder, tears streaming down slowly, and the more he cried, the louder he cried.

Liu Hai, who has always been carefree, hugged his father and cried, causing Liu Xia and the others to stop. Liu Xin stretched out his hand and called Liu Hai: "Uncle Six, Uncle Six."

Mao'er took Liu Xia's hand and asked gently: "Uncle, does Uncle Six not want to go to the capital? He wants to leave our house alone, doesn't he?"

Liu Xia picked up the cat, rubbed his forehead, and gave a soft "hmm".

Liu Changqing patted Liu Hai on the back: "Xiao Hai, it's okay baby, it's okay, I know you're scared every day, but it's okay baby, you just can't get into college, it's a good thing to go to the capital for a few years to gain insights, you just can't pass the exam Going to college, no one in the family will dislike you... Come on, baby, let's not be afraid anymore!"

Liu Hai went to study in Kyoto, which was enviable, but it was also a huge pressure, especially when Liu Xia and Liu Ling were both admitted to university, the pressure Liu Hai endured was only experienced enough for Liu Changqing to understand.

Liu Hai raised his head, wiped his face, and smiled at the whole family in embarrassment, but tears kept falling, he jumped into the Fengxi River
