all the way

It was Monday when Liu Xia came home. Liu Chuan drove him to Wangning, and the two of them came to Wangning Elementary School together. When he saw the cat through the glass window, the cat turned to take it out of the schoolbag. Something, somehow saw him.

The little guy stood up suddenly, and his schoolbag fell to the ground, but he was immediately pinned in place by the stern gaze of the teacher on the podium, looking at Liu Xia eagerly, but he didn't dare to run out.

Liu Xia and Liu Chuan walked towards the door of the classroom at the same time without any thought. Liu Chuan symbolically knocked on the door twice, and pushed the door open before waiting for a response from inside.

The young teacher with myopia saw the two of them and stood there in surprise, looking them up and down.

"Excuse me, teacher. I'm Liu An's uncle. Can you let him come out for a while?" Liu Xia asked in standard Mandarin with a smile. He looked polite, but he had an indescribably superior demeanor. .

It is a common problem for many people to watch people order dishes. This kind of people usually feel jealous and criticize people who are in a slightly better situation than themselves, but those who are in a higher level than themselves will have the opposite attitude - flattery .

Because of their poor family, Liu Xia and the others have suffered discrimination, neglect and other complicated treatment since they were young when they went to school outside. people.

There is actually an element of understanding and consideration in this kind of ignorance: no one is born to like to face others with a humble attitude.

As people who live at the bottom of the society, the Liu family can't do such a thing, but they understand the helplessness involved, but for another characteristic of this kind of people-discrimination and bullying those who are weaker than them, jealousy and criticism and their own Pretty much the same people they despise very much.

From Mao'er's letter, Liu Xia can roughly outline the personality image of his Chinese teacher, which fits the characteristics of this type of person. Now that the content written on the blackboard is Chinese review questions, Liu Xia decided to give Maoer a temporary boost. Standing tall and long, though he's a little unsure about how well that would work.

On the other hand, Liu Chuan yelled at the cat with a loving face, "Boy, why don't you come out after seeing your uncle and I, don't you know that uncle misses you?"

The cat was on the outside of the desk in the middle of the first row. Hearing this, he rushed over and hung directly around Liu Xia's neck, with his legs wrapped around Liu Xia's waist: "Uncle! Uncle!"

Liu Xia hugged him tightly, and rubbed his chin on his little face a few times: "Okay, my uncle is back." He raised his head and said to the embarrassed teacher: "Teacher, I have I haven't seen Liu An in a month, now I want to take him out for a while, is that okay?"

The teacher put on an attentive and kind smile on his face: "Zhongzhong, of course it's ok, and it happens that get out of class will be over soon, so it won't affect anything if it's delayed for a while."

Liu Xia hugged Mao'er, and stood in the leeward place with Liu Chuan and the three of them waiting for Liu Rui. Mao'er happily hugged Liu Xia's neck and giggled.

The weather was gloomy and windy today, Liu Xia found that Mao'er's little hands were freezing cold, so he untied his down jacket and wrapped him in it.

There were things in his backpack for Maoer, Liu Wei, and Liu Rui. Liu Chuan helped him take out a fleece hat with two small balls that he bought for Maoer. Actual age is younger.

Mao'er giggled and rubbed his face against Liu Xia's neck back and forth, Liu Xia's heart almost melted, he felt that Mao'er was still that soft baby who was born not long ago, any small movement would make him love distressed.

Liu Rui saw them as soon as he came out of the classroom, and ran over shouting in surprise. Liu Chuan picked them up and carried them on his shoulders. Liu Xia asked him to wear the new hat he bought for him, and the four uncles and nephews went out. School, chatting and laughing, jumping over large and small black puddles all the way, came to a braised noodle restaurant on Wangning Street.

The only state-run restaurant in Wangning finally closed this summer. At the same time, several small individual restaurants opened on the street. This stewed noodle shop has the best business. It is said that the owner is in a very famous stewed noodle restaurant in Yuancheng I helped in the kitchen, and after learning other people's recipes, I went back to my hometown and opened my own shop.

The stewed noodles are really good, and several people are very satisfied.

Liu Chuan returned to Rongze after eating noodles. He had to go to work for another two weeks. In order to stay at home for a few more days after the Spring Festival, he will not be back next week. He has already made an appointment with Liu Kui. He brought back the New Year's goods, and Liu Kui pulled a shelf cart to Wangning to pick them up.

In the afternoon, Mao'er and Liu Rui still had two classes. Liu Xia originally wanted to ask them for leave and go home with him now, but then thought that they would have exams in the next two days, so he decided to wait for them to leave school normally.

He led the two little guys back to school slowly, talking to them and looking at the surrounding scenery.

Wangning Street is dirtier and more chaotic than before. At this time before, although there were stinky puddles everywhere, and the wind blew black dust all over the world, it was surrounded by green wheat fields, and there were various old trees on the ditches and ridges. As long as you leave Wangning Street, you can see the hilly scenery everywhere.

Now, there are not many old trees left, and many houses have been built on the wheat fields. Most of them are red single brick walls with gray asbestos tiles on them. It is said that most of them come to buy bauxite ore.

The large wheat field outside the health center is covered with prefabricated panels. Over the past few years, more and more people have followed the example of city dwellers and built bungalows and small buildings. Everyone thinks the local traditional ridged houses are rustic.

The wheat field in the middle of Wangning High School is full of various construction materials, which looks like a sign of a major construction project.

When Liu Xia and the others returned to school, the campus was deserted. Wangning Primary School was basically regarded as the primary school of the Wangning Brigade, and all the students were accepted from the neighborhood. There were no boarding students.

Liu Rui is in Class 3(3). Liu Chuan asked the principal and their teachers to give Liu Rui a key for their class. Usually, when others come home from school for lunch, Maoer and Liu Rui are in the class of [-]([-]). ) classes eat the steamed buns or pancakes they brought from home in the morning.

Liu Xia is very familiar with all this, back then he, Liu Hai, Liu Yu and the others went to the classroom of Liu Ling's class to spend the noon time every day.

Liu Kui gave Liu Rui and Mao Er some money so that they could go to the restaurant to buy a bowl of hot rice with soup for lunch. The two of them ate a few times and thought it was too expensive. No one could afford to eat like that every day. Now if there is no family member who happened to come to Wangning to take them to the street to eat, they would eat what they brought.

The situation in the classroom was exactly the same as that of Liu Xia and the others. There was an earthen stove in the corner next to the podium, and a fire was lit, and half a basket of briquettes was placed in a broken basket next to it, but the classroom was still cold, and the desks were made of cement boards. Make the feeling of cold stronger.

Liu Xia pulled the teacher's chair on the podium and sat by the stove, unplugged the windshield plug underneath, added two pieces of coal to the stove at a time, then wrapped the cat in his arms, and Liu Rui sat beside him , Liu Xia stuffed his two hands into his down jacket to warm them up, and the three talked happily.

Liu Rui is now the representative of the math class in the class. He got No. 13 in the whole grade in the midterm exam.

When it comes to composition, Mao'er is a little depressed. After that time, he failed the composition three times, but now it is exactly the same [-] points each time. Now he knows that [-] points is not a good grade, and he feels that he is very To embarrass Liu Xia, everyone in the school knows that he and Liu Rui have three uncles who go to college, and the younger uncle is a key university.

"My Chinese teacher yelled at me that time: Your uncle is still a key university, so he just wrote the composition you teach like this? My principal just stopped by the door of my class and called him out. I don't know what to do. What did he say, he didn’t stop reading my composition in class when he came back, and now he’s giving me a passing grade.”

Mao'er told Liu Xia coquettishly, obviously, he felt that his passing score seemed to be suspected of going through the back door, so the little guy was a little guilty, and wanted to get some peace of mind from Liu Xia.

Liu Xia said: "I'm not coaxing you, I really think your composition is good, at least we don't make up nonsense, but you have the same problem as my uncle before, your writing is indeed a bit too short, Adjective old and young, it’s okay baby, let’s read more extracurricular novels in the future, and write it slowly.”

Liu Xia's words are true, he just thinks that Mao'er can write anything, although there are a little less adjectives and the narrative is straightforward, but he can see infinite fun from it.

Liu Xia's words of affirmation offset the criticism of the Chinese teacher for a semester, and there was still some leftovers. Mao'er proudly said to Liu Rui: "Uncle is the best at studying, he even said that I am good at writing!"

Liu Rui wrinkled his nose at Mao'er: "Uncle always wants to see you, and sees that you are better than others in everything you do. Your composition is not a few sentences every time. How dare you be so beautiful?"

The cat shook the ball on the little hat: "It's beautiful, it's beautiful. My uncle said I'd write it. Why am I not beautiful?"

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, blowing through the treetops and sending out a sharp whistling, the fire in the stove finally lit up, and the orange flames sprang up, warming up the small corner of the classroom.

When Liu Rui was at home, he had the habit of taking a nap. Usually it was very cold in the classroom at this time, and he couldn't sleep. Today, the fire was very hot, so he snuggled up to Liu Xia again, and fell asleep on Liu Xia's body after a while.

Liu Xia put Mao'er on his right leg, wrapped him with half of the down jacket, and pulled Liu Rui over to let him sleep on his chest, so that the down jacket could cover him better.

The cat didn't sleep at all, and reported to Liu Xia one by one the interesting things he encountered after coming to school here, but he didn't tell Liu Xia in the letter. Liu Xia used to imagine that the cat went to school here The pictures at that time were constantly being modified and enriched, making them clearer and more complete.

After 01:30, students began to come in one after another. Seeing Liu Xia and the three of them were very surprised, not even one who spoke loudly. Liu Xia felt a little embarrassed, and it happened that Liu Rui also woke up. We went outside together, and as soon as we got to the yard, we saw a teacher in his fifties walking over.

Liu Xia walked two steps over and respectfully called out: "Teacher Zeng."

Teacher Zeng was stunned for a few seconds before making a sound: "You, are you Liu Xia? Oh boy, are you on vacation? Are you here to pick up your two little nephews? Oh, the teacher dare not recognize you now , why are you so tall?"

The three of Liu Xia were enthusiastically let into the teacher's office.

Teacher Zeng was Liu Xia's class teacher in the fourth grade, who taught him Chinese. At that time, Liu Xia had only one child, and had three older brothers to support him. Good character, but also because he has an elder brother Liu Ling who always takes the first place in the grade.

When Liu Xia returned to his elementary school, there was a lot of excitement. Almost all the teachers who had taught him and were familiar with him came to see him. Although Liu Xia was admitted to university several years after leaving Wangning Elementary School, they still Proud to have taught such a student.

Mao'er was worried that it was too cold in the yard. If he was going to class, where would his uncle wait for them, now he felt relieved.

After Mao'er and Liu Rui went to class, Liu Xia stayed in Teacher Zeng's office. Most of the teachers had classes in the afternoon, and there were only four or five people left in the office. Two of them had taught Liu Xia. Talking with Liu Xia was a homely affair, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. This reminded Liu Xia of the time when he lit his broom and threw it to the house next door to the school and was found by others. The teacher called him to the office and punished him. He couldn't help smiling. .

In fact, teachers are also ordinary people, and their stern voice in front of students is just a way for them to establish their prestige. After leaving the classroom and students, they will return to their original appearance, most of them are peaceful and casual people.

In the afternoon, the first class starts at [-] o'clock, and the second get out of class ends at exactly [-] o'clock. In winter, it gets dark early, and Liu Xia and the others can walk to the top of the kiln slope at most, and the sky will be completely dark. I taught Liu Xia and his brothers how many Every teacher knows this.

So about halfway through the second class, Teacher Zeng said, "Liu Xia, I'll go talk to your nephew, Teacher Li, and tell them to come out. You should leave early. I think it might snow today."

Liu Xia was a little hesitant, mainly because he was afraid that Liu Changqing would mislead Maoer and Liu Rui when he went home, but he looked at the gloomy sky and decided to leave early.

The two little guys were very happy to be able to go home early, Mao'er was carrying his schoolbag and took Liu Xia's hand and walked out impatiently, but he saw his Chinese teacher within a few steps.

Liu Xia looked at the teacher holding a large pile of homework in the cold wind, with his hair blown to a mess, and suddenly regretted his behavior in the morning. He just heard Teacher Zeng say about this teacher: His family is not Wangning Yes, it is from Shangwu Township in the north. After graduating from Rongze Normal School, he was assigned to Wangning, where no one wanted to come because he didn’t have any relatives or friends with background. The girlfriend he was dating at school had already broken up with him because of this. .

Liu Xia took Maoer and Liu Rui and walked over, smiled and said in a very respectful tone: "Teacher, the weather is bad, I have to take Liu An and the others home early, my family Liu An is young and a bit skinny, if If there is anything wrong with him, I will trouble you in the future!"

The young teacher smiled awkwardly: "The boy is actually pretty good, but he is young. Compared with older children, he may read fewer books and can't keep up with writing. I also think he is smart. I hope he can make progress quickly, sometimes he may speak a little hastily, Liu An, you don't hate the teacher, do you?" The teacher cooperated and found a step for himself.

Mao'er shook her head: "No, my grandpa said, you can't bear grudges against the teacher. The teacher yelled at me just to tell me to study better."

Liu Xia secretly gave Mao'er a thumbs up in his heart.

The encounter with the Chinese teacher made Liu Xia feel surprisingly relaxed. People are similar to others. Seeing that he respects the teacher and is reasonable as a parent, the teacher should be less critical and more encouraging to Mao'er, right?

After leaving the school, when there were tens of meters away from the street, the three of them saw two people with bags on their backs who were going to cross the road to their side. Liu Xia pulled Maoer and Liu Rui and ran : "Five Brothers and Six Brothers!"

Liu Ling and Liu Hai also saw them, Liu Ling waved at them to show that he saw them, and Liu Hai bounced and made an exaggerated 'come here' gesture at them.

Liu Xia was overjoyed. When he was with Liu Chuan this morning, he was still guessing when Liu Ling and Liu Hai would arrive home.

Liu Ling and Liu Hai also met Liu Chuan, but they didn't let Liu Chuan see them off. They happened to catch the bus at 01:30. They estimated that Liu Xia would wait for the cat to leave school before leaving together, so they got off just now. I got out of the car and planned to go to school to find them.

The five of them talked and laughed all the way and turned to the road leading to Liujialing. As a result, just after Fujiazhuang, they saw Liu Kui who came to pick up Liu Rui and Mao'er from a distance, and they shouted and ran together.

Liu Kui didn't go any further after seeing them, and when they came to him, he stretched out his arms to catch up with Liu Hai and Liu Xia who rushed towards them.

The two young men, who were taller than the elder brother, turned back into children at this moment, competing to tell Liu Kui when he got off the train, when he saw Liu Chuan, and other long-winded things.

Before they reached the top of the kiln slope, it was dark and there were snowflakes, but it didn't snow heavily when they got home.

The three children who went to school outside came back, and the house became lively immediately, especially when Liu Xia put the pair of women's jeans on the stage at the end, the whole family thought it was incredible, Xiumei blushed and said something They refused to try.

The other one has been reserved for Su Xiaohui. Liu Xia doesn't know what Su Xiaohui's expression will be when she sees the jeans.

Liu Xia also gave Liu Chuan a pair of jeans that Mao Jianyong asked him to wear when he was an event model. Liu Chuan asked the reason and accepted it happily.

Liu Xia didn't send the jeans back at that time, not only because of the postage, but also because he felt that the matter was not clear in the letter, and Liu Chuan and the others might not believe what they said, because they were afraid that Liu Chuan and the others would worry that he was saving money to buy things for them. will be uncomfortable.

Now he is wearing the same trousers and a beautiful down jacket, and his family can tell that he should be doing well in Jiangcheng without explaining too much.

Finally, under the strong encouragement of Liu Ling and Liu Hai and Liu Kui's smiling eyes, Xiumei went back to her cave dwelling and changed into jeans. When she came back, Liu Xia and Liu Hai deliberately exaggerated their stunning expressions. appearance.

Xiumei is about 1.6 meters [-] tall, slim and well-proportioned, and she really looks beautiful in jeans, but everyone also admits that Xiumei's simple temperament does not match her blue floral cotton jacket and fashionable jeans.

However, everyone could see Xiumei's happiness, and for Liu Xia, this was enough.

Liu Xia also planned to give Liu Yu a pair of trousers. Liu Yu was about the same height as him and a bit stronger than him, so they would definitely fit well.

Liu Hai held the pair of jeans for Liu Yu, and was very depressed. He was three centimeters taller than Liu Xia, and he wore them shorter, otherwise he would just grab them and wear them himself.

Mao'er put on the new set of clothes that Liu Xia bought for him and couldn't get off the kang. The new coat was ivory white, and he was afraid that it would get dirty on the stove.

Liu Xia sat on the kang and chatted with his family with the cat in his arms. When he talked about Mao Jianyong, the whole family admired him. They felt that it was rare for a kid in his twenties to endure such hardships with money in his family.

Liu Kui sighed: "When will we be able to do business like others and make money? It's nothing to suffer. A child can earn thousands of dollars. There are not a few million households in our township. , I really feel useless."

So everyone's topic turned to the problem of rich and poor caused by regional differences.

Mao Erzhong went to the toilet with Liu Xia, and when Liu Xia rubbed his cold face when he came back, he felt that Liu Xia's hands were very warm, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Liu Xia: "Uncle, I Tell the Bodhisattva that she will protect you from freezing, and your hands are so warm, then if I tell the Bodhisattva that I want to grow up to your size, will she be willing?"

Liu Xia looked at the Bodhisattva placed in the center of the window sill.

The walls of the cave dwelling are very thick, and the glass windows are on the outer side, so the windowsills inside are very spacious. In the past, Chang’e and Xiumei’s things for needlework were often placed on them, but now they are cleared away, and the Bodhisattva sits upright Right in the middle.

When Liu Xia came back, he found that this Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus pedestal was really beautiful, with a dignified manner, a beautiful face, slightly smiling eyes, and indescribable kindness and peace. As the cat said in her letter, no matter what direction you are in, she always looks at you.

Liu Xia said to Mao'er: "Uncle doesn't know either, why don't we just talk to Bodhisattva."

Mao'er nodded again and again: "Yes, then, you and I will tell the Bodhisattva whether it is right or not. You are an adult, and the Bodhisattva must believe in the words of an adult."

Liu Xia said: "Come on, let's talk together." He turned himself and Mao'er to the direction of the Bodhisattva and sat down. On the hairy head of the cat: "Bodhisattva, my cat is a good boy, please bless him to grow up quickly!"

Mao'er turned her head and said to Liu Xia: "I still want Changli to be as good as you."

Liu Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Boy, if my uncle said that, would the Bodhisattva think that my uncle is thick-skinned?"

The cat thought for a while: "Then, if you still hold my hand, do I agree with the Bodhisattva?"

Liu Xia clasped Mao'er's little hands together again, and Mao'er said softly: "Bodhisattva, I want to grow up quickly, and I also want to be as good as my uncle when I grow up. Will you protect me?"

Liu Changqing and Liu Changchun used to sit opposite Liu Xia, now they saw them making a wish in front of the Bodhisattva, they both looked at them with smiles on their faces, and didn't speak.

Buddhist beliefs are very common in the Central Plains, but this kind of belief is not a fanatical belief in the religious sense, and few people understand the profound teachings of Buddhism. This kind of belief is a kind of secularized life-oriented belief, which people know It is also a simple and clear cycle of cause and effect, good and evil are rewarded, and the specific objects of belief are generally Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves suffering.

In the massive movement in the past few decades, all concrete religious beliefs were listed as feudal superstitions and buried. The power of motion is obviously trivial.

In recent years, free market economic activities have driven people's pursuit of freedom in the spiritual field. Various folk beliefs that have been forcibly suppressed have begun to recover, and various religious items have also emerged as the times require.

Sun Chang'e's mother is a devout Buddhist who knows a little bit of Buddhism, but Sun Chang'e just caught up with the liberation and the later anti-feudal movement when she was young. She has no knowledge of Buddhism, but her mother's beliefs still have a profound impact on her , especially now that she is old and full of children and grandchildren, she is proud of her big family but also has worries. Please ask the Bodhisattva to go home, so that she feels spiritually protected.

Liu Changqing has no objection to his wife's behavior, except that he is a person from the old age, and he agrees with it in his heart. Another point is that he thinks that people should have awe in their hearts. If people don't believe in anything, then they will People who are not afraid of nothing, who are not afraid of anything, are very scary.

It would be the best if this kind of belief could not only persuade people to be upright and good, but also give children a restraint in their hearts.

Liu Ling and the others understood the cat's request very well. When they returned to the cave where they lived, Liu Ling encouraged the cat to say: "If you want to grow faster, you are as old as your uncle, and eat more meat. .”

The cat said distressedly: "I am full every meal, and my stomach is full of miles, but I still can't grow fast."

The cave dwelling of Liu Xia and the others has changed a lot. The kang they lived in before was not demolished, but the cave dwelling was not only raised by nearly one meter, but also widened by more than one meter. Xi dug a new one, and opened a door between the cave dwelling they live in now, forming a very spacious suite.

In the evening, Liu Xia and the others saw only the new kang made of red bricks under the kerosene lamp, which was super spacious and beautiful. When they returned the next morning after sending the cat and Liu Rui to the upper kiln slope, they saw the home under the winter sun. Liu Xia felt a little shocked.

Not only is the progress of the new cave dwellings much faster than they imagined, the middle room and the large suite on the east side that are planned to be the new main house in the future have been completely completed, but also because the red bricks in the few cave dwellings that are close to completion The back wall and the door and window frames made of blue large slab bricks and stones are beautifully like the decorations of some foreign villas that Liu Xia saw in the coloring pages of magazines recently.

The revision and expansion of the new kiln construction plan started when Liu Kui heard Liu Chuan occasionally say that he hoped that his two sons could grow up at home.

Liu Changqing also felt that even if the children will live in the city in the future, they should have a comfortable place to live when they return home, and if they cannot return to their own home, they will behave like guests.

Both father and son are good at planning and action-oriented. Once they think it over, they immediately start to implement it. The 3 yuan bricks bought by Liu Chuan made the actual progress of the project much faster than planned.

Liu Chuan felt that his father was too hard and inefficient to beat stones. He felt that the door frame made of blue bricks was similar to stones, so he bought 3 yuan of bricks with the money sent back by Liu Ling and Liu Xia. , including the part Liu Changqing planned to renovate Liu Yu's wedding cave.

The new cave dwelling is taller and more spacious than the original one, and the doors and windows have also been enlarged proportionally. The stones on the original five-hole cave dwelling door can be used for three doors after being removed. The windows are all made of large blue bricks, and the back wall and inner doors are all made of red bricks.

Liu Xia and the others were excited by the newly remodeled cave dwelling. Although the new kang in their house was temporarily unavailable due to the tide, they felt very comfortable just looking at it.

The snow did not fall last night, it was blown away by the wind.

When Liu Xia and Liu Kui returned home, it was past eight o'clock, and Liu Ling and Liu Hai were already digging the kiln. The two college students who were fashionable and handsome yesterday put on patched clothes for work, and in a blink of an eye they became children in the mountains again.

To Liu Xia's surprise, besides Liu Fulai and his son, Jianbin and Niu Dun'er were the ones who dug the kiln with Liu Ling and the others. After asking Liu Kui, he found out that Niu Dun'er also followed Liu Yu two months ago. Went to Mazhai to work.

Liu Yu and the others finished their last order for this year a few days ago, and they are already on vacation. Liu Miao and Niu Dun'er have been back for two or three days, and they started to come to Liu's house to help as soon as they came back.

Only Liu Yu was left by Ma Deying to receive a client from other places, accompany him to Shaolin Temple, and then sign a contract.

Liu Xia also changed into old clothes, and joined the ranks of digging kilns with Liu Kui. There is still a four-hole kiln in the east that has not been dug. Liu Xia and the others are determined to finish the earthwork before the end of the winter vacation. The work of painting walls and walls is not so tiring, Liu Changqing and Liu Kui can take their time.

A group of people gossip while working. The mountain people have no concept of privacy. In one day, Liu Xia and the others know a lot of things in the village that they didn't know before.

Niu Sanni's mother was buried a week before Liu Changqing and the others returned from Kyoto. Liu Fulai, who has always been kind and honest, now ordered Niu Sannier not to let anyone from her natal family come to their house.

Liu Miao has had the experience of talking about marriage several times, but they all ended without even meeting each other: the parents of better girls in the nearby villages were unwilling to say anything when they heard that he was Niu Sannier's son;

There are two girls in Mazhai who are interested in Liu Miao, but when they came back with Liu Miao, they didn't go halfway to the north slope of Shangyao, and things went wrong after they returned.

Liu Miao said to Liu Ling: "I have basically decided to be a bachelor. Life is really boring."

Liu Ling himself is a bachelor and has never been in a relationship, so he doesn't know how to persuade him.

Niu Dun'er's mother is also dead, without Niu Huaping going over to turn over and scrub her every now and then, she developed bed sores very quickly, and the bed sores spread quickly, and the infection was very severe. She could survive this year, and the villagers I feel a little surprised.

Niu Dun'er's fucking death did not ease the conflict between him and Niu Shao. After Niu Huaping's death, Niu Shao refused to let her into the village. Just like a passerby.

Another thing that surprised them was Niu Dun'er's ugly daughter-in-law Yang Shuhuan, who was kidnapped by her father and brother and taken back to her natal family. Now she lives alone in a small cave dwelling far away from Shitougou.

Not many days after Yang Shuhuan was tied back to her natal home, she was used by her father to exchange marriages for her elder brother. On the day she got married, she broke free from the bondage and bumped her head on a big stone used as a stool in the yard. At that time, it was really bloody. ruler.

Seeing that situation, the man turned around and left without saying a word.

Yang Shuhuan didn't die, a big scar was left on his forehead, and he became even uglier. His father and brother no longer cared about her, that is, they stopped supporting her. The small cave lives alone.

When Liu Sen and Jian Bin talked about this, everyone rested and drank water together, and Niu Dun'er was holding a bowl of boiled water and drinking slowly, without saying a word.

Liu Ling suddenly said to Liu Kui: "Brother, where is our "Jane Eyre"? Show Niu Duner a look when he is gone!"

Liu Miao said: "At my house, Liu Sen and I are watching."

Liu Ling thought for a while, then said, "Then, "Song of Youth"?"

Jianbin said: "Brother Liu Kui lent it to me. I finished reading the book and wanted to return it. She saw Jinhuan and insisted on reading it. I just..."

After drinking the water, everyone continued to work, and Niu Dun'er remained silent for a long time.

It's time for lunch, Liu Fulai and the others are going home, and Liu Kui didn't let the guests happen by chance. It's normal for folks in the village to help each other with some work.

Niu Duner said that he had something to do, so he would not come to help in the afternoon.

When he and Liu Fulai walked to the slope together, Liu Ling suddenly ran over and stopped him: "Niu Duner, I think, in fact, it's not just those good-looking girls who understand, understand—"

Liu Ling weighed it for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable word. As for the word 'love', he really couldn't say it to his family and villagers:

"What I mean is, just like so many beautiful women who are actually cunning and aggressive, there are also so many ordinary-looking, or a little ugly people who actually have love and righteousness in their hearts... I don't know how to tell you, Do you understand what I mean?"

Niu Dun'er looked at Liu Ling in a daze for a while, lowered his head, and walked slowly along the slope.

When the family was sitting in the main room eating, Liu Kui suddenly asked: "Xiao Ling, why did you suddenly remember to tell Niu Dun'er that? Do you think that girl is so pitiful?"

Liu Ling nodded and shook her head again: "Not all, big brother, isn't everything I said true? No one can decide what he is born with, and there is no way to change it through acquired efforts. No one can say that he looks ugly. Humans have no heart or emotion, right?"

When Liu Changqing went out after eating, he patted Liu Ling who was sitting on the stool: "Boy, you have grown up."
