?? "Go to my sister's house?" Li Yuan guessed it right away.

??I met Xiao Yuanlin the day before yesterday and said that Li Buqun and Zhang Meixin both went to Li Jingying's house. Since I came back so late yesterday and didn't take care of the vegetables in the field, I must have gone to Li Jingying's house too.

??Li Buqun has no other place to go. Grandpa Li Yuan went there early, and Li Buqun’s relatives basically seldom interact with each other. Zhang Meixin’s family is not far away, but after she got married, she took her husband as her key link , only dare to go back to her mother's house to see Li Yuan's grandfather during the holidays, and never dare to go there at ordinary times.

??Like Li Yuan's uncle, second uncle, aunt, and aunt, some are close and some are far away, but they all have a normal relationship with Zhang Meixin.

?? "Yes, your mother told the villagers that she went to work for your sister's house, but she didn't say what kind of work she had done, so she came back late in the heavy snow, almost freezing. Sick." Xu Jinmian said, "Turn around and take a look, don't really do anything wrong, or it will be more troublesome then."

"En." It happened that Li Yuan also wanted to ask what happened to Li Jingying's family, and he needed to call Li Buqun and Zhang Meixin to help for two consecutive days.

?? Li Buqun and Zhang Meixin, when they could see people, they said that Li Yuan was not good, that Li Yuan was not filial and disobedient, that Li Yuan turned his elbows outwards, that he would rather be filial to his godfather than them, saying Li Yuan is not good anywhere, as if all the mistakes are on Li Yuan.

??But for Li Jingying, even though Li Buqun usually sells food to earn some money, or occasionally works as a construction team in the village, Li Jingying basically takes all the money.

??And if Li Buqun injured his foot and went to the hospital, he had to ask Li Yuan for money, and Li Jingying would not even show up.

??But in Zhang Meixin's mouth, she is very, very happy to have such a daughter. Even as long as Li Jingying can come to the mountain village, it is especially worthy of her mother's advocacy for half a month. After all, some daughters in the village are married Far away, you can't come here for a year or so. In comparison, Li Jingying is very filial.

?? In the past, Li Yuan didn't understand why they were both parents' children. They must be good to one and bad to the other.

??A normal person, alive, with normal thinking, and even a person with a good reputation in the village, how can he be so biased?

?? Later Li Yuan understood.

?? "Although your parents actually treated you badly, they said that everything they did was for your own good, and they wanted you to pay back at all costs. This was to get you to contribute money and effort."

?? That's what Xu Jinmian told Li Yuan.

?? "Your parents treat your sister well because they hope that your brother-in-law can give them a pension in the future. And even though your parents treat you badly, you still went to college. In the eyes of most people, this is already very good for you. Not bad. After all, your sister failed to go to high school and dropped out of junior high school..."

?? "A lot of times, partiality may not come from the heart, but the result of a very smart weighing of gains and losses. Just like your parents, they do everything they can to spoil your sister. In most people's eyes, it is Kind performance, so their word of mouth will be so good."

??If a pair of parents treat all their children badly, then everyone will think that they lack kindness and dare not have any contact with them.

??Like Li Buqun and Zhang Meixin, when these superficial things are peeled off, their insides are bloody selfish, completely black hearts.Everything they do is only for themselves, not for any relatives who are related to them by blood.

?? When Li Yuan came to Li Buqun's side, he was still thinking about what Xu Jinmian said.

??Qi Changqing silently followed behind, and when he entered the house, he didn't step forward, but stood against the wall.

?? There is no stove in the room, and it is cold, about the same temperature as the outside.

??Li Buqun lay on the kang, covered with thick bedding, like a dead man.

?? Zhang Meixin sat on the edge of the kang, with her hands in her hands, with a compassionate and cold look.

?? There are still bowls and chopsticks on the table, and they have not been cleaned up. Some grease has solidified on them, and it looks very ugly.

?? "I remember posting Spring Festival couplets when I was young. You boiled the paste and posted it with me. It turned out that it was too cold outside, and your hands froze after a while. You went into the house by yourself and soaked your feet in hot water and washed your hands. , put the quilt on the kang to keep warm, and asked me to continue pasting outside alone."

?? Li Yuan was particularly impressed by this.

?? And what was Li Jingying doing at that time?She had pocket money, so she went to the canteen to buy snacks with her friends in the village.

?? "Tell me, what did you do when you went to my sister's house for two consecutive days in this cold weather?" Li Yuan put his hands in his hands and asked calmly.

?? "It's too cold." Zhang Meixin said with a sigh of relief, "Your sister's stove is not ventilated, and the kang is not warm even if it is burned. It is pouring out smoke. It took two days to rush to repair it, and it was finally finished."

?? "No workers? Invite a few people, and you can smash the kang and start the kang again in one morning, right? What about my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law? Several people work together, and it is not a problem to cook three or five kangs a day. Li Yuan said, "What's more, it's just to pour out the cigarettes, just take it apart and clean up the ashes inside."

?? "What do you know?" Li Buqun stopped pretending to be asleep, got up and looked at Li Yuan angrily.

?? Li Yuan just laughed, "You can't fool me about this."

??Although Li Buqun never told Li Yuan about such things as panning the kang and pouring cigarettes, he felt that this was also a handicraft, and it would be a great loss to teach Li Yuan himself, but in fact, this handicraft village is a man will.

??Just a while ago, when Li Yuan went to sleep with Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng, Uncle Zheng specially opened a hole in the kang, and took out all the ashes that had been washed in through the stove to the chimney, so that the kang would heat up faster, and Also hotter.

?? When Qi Changqing installed the heater there, he also learned from Uncle Zheng.

??It's just that Li Buqun still has the same attitude, "You are so stupid in studying, you don't know anything about these things."

"Dad, are you confused? Although you didn't teach me, my godfather taught me." Li Yuan looked at Li Buqun in disbelief, and he was still pretending to be asleep, "Okay, you guys I went to my sister's house to do what I like to do, and I just came to ask, and I didn't expect you to tell the truth. To save my mother from going around, my mother told the villagers that you can't do this anymore, and I just took a look. Let me just say it first, I’ll come over, everyone in the village knows about it, mom, don’t go out and spread rumors, let the villagers watch the joke.”

?? Li Yuanzhen just came to take a look. After reading it, he left.

?? Li Buqun in the room was furious, and Zhang Meixin sighed regretfully.

??Actually, the stove at home is good. As long as the fire is turned on, the room will be very warm. But the couple deliberately did not light the fire, keeping the room cold, just to let Li Yuan take a look when Li Yuan came.

??According to the couple's thoughts, when Li Yuan came to see that the room was deserted, at least he had to light a fire, or else he had to take money, anyway, he had to show something.

?? In Li Buqun's mind, parents are like this: if you make a fool of yourself, you have to dig your heart out as a child.

?? As a result, Li Yuan really just came to see, that's all.

?? Coming out from Li Buqun's side, Li Yuan frowned, "I don't know what kind of nonsense Yu Tiancheng is going to do."

?? "Let him do it, it's not worth worrying about them." Qi Changqing pondered for a long time in his heart. Usually, he accompanied Li Yuan to Li Buqun's side like a tool man, and never expressed his views.

?? But now, he felt that he should express his presence.

??

??But even though he has already seen it, whenever he is sure that there is such a person by his side silently, he still feels different. At least it is completely different from when he suddenly looks back and is alone.

??There is snow everywhere outside, a vast expanse of whiteness, which is a bit dazzling after a long time.

?? A child wearing a jacket ran over, whining and yelling. His face was flushed, and he was not afraid of the cold. He grabbed the snow with his bare hands and threw it into balls to his friends behind.

??A snow dumpling fell on Li Yuan, and he also grabbed a handful of snow, grabbed it and threw it back.

??The child is fast, and he ran away early.

??Back to Er Biaozi, Li Yuan started to pack his things again.

??Xu Jinmian's own clothes and supplies have already been packed in the suitcase. Li Yuan took the snakeskin bag again and went into the kitchen to pack some enemas, mushrooms and other durable items. While packing, he called Qi Changqing, "Ah Qing , you go to Er Biaozi and ask him to help you buy a few native chickens in the village, see who has a pig butcher, and buy half a pig."

?? "There is no need to take these local products." Xu Jinmian stood at the door of the kitchen with his arms folded, saying so, but he didn't really step forward to stop it.

?? "Teacher, these things are all prepared first, whether you need them or not." Li Yuan said, "In my first year of college, my parents gave me tuition fees and asked me how much money I had left. money……"

?? At that time, Li Yuan had just finished the college entrance examination a few months ago, and he still had the scholarships he had saved in school, totaling 52 yuan.

?? So Li Buqun and Zhang Meixin calculated together, and gave Li Yuan another 240 or 300 yuan, some pocket money, and said they wanted to give him [-] yuan for living expenses.

??As a result, Li Yuan went to school with his luggage. He couldn’t afford the plane, so he took the slowest train for two days and one night. When he arrived at the school, he had to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees. The total was 420 yuan, including bedding, washbasin, etc. Daily necessities, uniform throughout the school.

??Li Yuan couldn't afford the money at all, so he went to call home.

??The call was answered by Li Buqun, who scolded Li Yuan and told him not to go home. He also scolded the school, saying that the school charges fees indiscriminately. He had already paid the tuition fee. But just don't give money.

?? At that time, Li Yuan hung up the phone, thinking that he had no money to buy a bus ticket when he went home, so he might as well just hit him head-on and die.

?? "The school exempted me from tuition and miscellaneous fees. At that time, I had less than 100 yuan left on hand. I ate one meal three times a day and bought two steamed buns for one dollar." Li Yuan now thinks about himself at that time There is still a bit of sadness, "Are you saying that my family is poor? Not poor at all, at least not just give me 300 yuan for living expenses, or a semester's living expenses."

?? "But the money is theirs, and they have the final say on what they want."

?? At any rate, the hardest days were over. In fact, it was only the first month of hardship. Later, Li Yuan received a scholarship from the school because of his good grades.

?? It's just that his experience made him unable to help Xu Jinmian to prepare a lot. He prepared everything that he couldn't think of, and he felt that he couldn't finish the preparation.

??It is really uncomfortable to feel embarrassed because of money when you are away from home.

"Okay." Xu Jinmian said, "Pack more, and I'll send it to your master later."

?? That is Xu Jinmian's teacher.

?? I prepared a lot of things in every possible way and put them in the house.

?? At night, because of the addition of Zhu Wu, the sleep had to be rearranged.

??Xu Jinmian and Gu Zhiwu occupied a kang, which was just enough for the two of them to sleep on one side, freeing up a small room.

??But Zhu Wu didn't agree, and he lay down on the sofa by himself, planning to sleep.

?? Turning on the heater in the room, and then covered with a thick quilt, it is indeed not cold, but this is not the way of hospitality.

"I'll sleep with Xiao Yuanzi, and little Wuzi will sleep with Ah Qing." Xu Jinmian said, "Zhu Wu, you also sleep on the kang. Not just for one night, but you can do anything."

??Qi Changqing and Gu Zhiwu looked at each other, and then at Zhu Wu. Knowing Xu Jinmian's intentions, they both agreed.

?? I dare not say no.

?? Lafayette made it clear that he would not let Li Yuan and Zhu Wu sleep in the same bed, and it happened that Qi Changqing didn't want to, so it was better to let Li Yuan sleep with Xu Jinmian.
