As soon as they saw Li Huan, they both said at the same time: "Huan Zai, wait a minute, we have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
"The doctor said that the child's legs are not good and he will definitely become lame in the future. We cannot raise a cripple."
"What do you mean?"
"Whoever wants it can take care of it. Besides, we spent more than ten yuan on medical expenses. We need to get this money back."
"Who can I get it from? Are you asking me for money?"
Li Huan narrowed his eyes, and Chen Tiezhu panicked. Are you kidding? He doesn't want the kitchen at home anymore, and he shook his head quickly.
"If you don't want to raise this child, I will ask who in the village is willing to raise it. Anyway, this boy's father still left him a house."
"Huan Zai, what do you mean? We won't raise this child together, and we won't be able to get the house, so who does the dozen yuan we gave him belong to?"
"You happily accepted this child at the beginning, but now it's too late to regret it. I'll give you two days to ask for a house and raise the child, or else give me back the land deed."
Li Huan left on his bicycle. Who would want to talk to a sinister couple in such a cold weather. They wanted the house and the land but not the children. What were they thinking?
"go home."
Chen Tiezhu looked at the child in his wife's arms with disgust and walked home. Now Chen Dazhu's house has been renovated by them, and his wife and son have moved in.
And he still lives in the old house. He will not leave the old house. Unless his father is willing to give him money, he will definitely not be able to keep the house once he leaves.
But what to do with this child? Do we really have to raise him? Chen Tiezhu was even more disgusted when he looked like a little Xu Laidi.
When Juhua saw her man walking towards the old house without looking back, she could only accept her fate and go back with the child in her arms. She threw the child casually in the living room and went to the kitchen to cook.
My son, Chen Nilu, jumped in and saw a child lying in a bamboo basket in the corner of the living room.
"Brother, are you okay? I'm your brother Loach."
The child looked at the unfamiliar face. He stayed in the hospital for two full months. His life was saved, but his leg was twisted and broken, so he could not recover at all.
Adults all know that this child is a cripple and will be a cripple at the very least in the future, but how can a child understand this? When he saw an older child playing with him, he became so happy that he became so happy.
"Mom, mother, my brother said he is hungry, do you want to give him something to eat?"
When Juhua heard the word "brother", she thought of the child in her belly, reached out and hit the loach, and scolded with a fierce face: "You bastard, who said he is your brother? He is crippled and a bad breed."
Loach touched the head that was hurt by his mother, and became a little confused. People in the village said that he had an extra little brother, but why didn't his mother admit it?
Loach is not young anymore. The seven or eight-year-old boy can already cut pig grass and collect firewood. He wrapped himself tightly in his thick cotton clothes and went out to play. The little friends in the village were not as obedient as Mao Dong.
It was only when he walked to the door of Goudan's house and saw General Tie holding the door that he remembered that Goudan and his grandmother had gone to Uncle Huanzai's house.
He also wanted to go to Uncle Huanzai's house. He heard from Gou Sheng that Aunt Cheng Qiao was very generous and always gave him and Goudan candy. The candies were beautiful and colorful, and he wanted to eat them too.
Thinking of this, she first knocked on the door of Gou Sheng's house. When Gou Sheng's mother saw it was a loach, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but Gou Sheng had already jumped out.
"Loach, where are you taking Gou Sheng to play?"
Gou Sheng Niang pulled Gou Sheng, looked at Ni Loach and asked, Ni Loach didn't notice Gou Sheng Niang's droopy face at all, and smiled and said he was going to Gou Dan's house to play.
When she heard that she was going to Gou Dan's house, which was Cheng Qiao's home, Gou Shengniang finally let go of her hand, and told Gou Sheng to go home early and not to be naughty at other people's homes.
The two of them happily ran to Li Huan's house. It happened that Goudan was sitting in the living room and studying with Ye Jun.
"Goudan, Goudan..."
Loach hid by the door and shouted in a low voice. Ye Jun glanced at the door, closed the book with a smile, and let Goudan play, but don't go too far.
When Goudan saw Niyi and Gou Sheng, he also walked out happily. The three of them went out to play hand in hand, but Goudan didn't look very good when he came back.
"Goudan, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother Cheng, Niyi told me just now that he saw Xu Laidi sneaking towards our house and wanted to follow him, but he was called away by Aunt Zhaodi."
Cheng Qiao's heart moved. Ni Loach was still a child. Of course he would be curious when he saw Xu Laidi sneaking around. But why did Zhao Di call Ni Loach away? Was it intentional or a coincidence.
It's a pity that it's the cat winter season and Zhaodi doesn't go out easily. Even if she goes out, she doesn't encounter her so easily. Cheng Qiao takes this matter into her heart.
And now most people in the village are building rivers. After the grain is distributed every year, those with strong labor in their families will sign up to build rivers. This is the last income before the year, and no one is willing to give it up.
Cuihua came with Chen Damao. Both of them were packed with bags, which made Cheng Qiao's eyes jump. They must have moved their home here.
"Cheng Qiao, these are the clothes that Da Mao and Er Mao wore when they were young. I picked some good ones and washed them so that I can wear them for little Cheng Li in the future. These are the clothes that little girl wore when she was a child. They can be used in case you have another daughter.
"
Seeing that the clothes were washed white and patched, but still clean, Cheng Qiao happily accepted them. Li Le also smartly went to the kitchen and made two cups of brown sugar water for Cuihua and Da Mao.
"Hey, Lele, you girl, you can just boil water, why don't you add brown sugar water? It's a waste."
He cursed Li Le, but he also took a quick sip. It was so sweet that it filled his heart.
"Cheng Qiao, I've told you a long time ago that despite Huan Zai's second-rate scoundrel appearance, he is actually a nice person. Auntie is right, isn't she?"
"Well, Auntie is right, when will Da Mao report?"
"I have to leave after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I'm here today to find out what to bring to school."
"You must bring a quilt and mattress, as well as a thermos, teapot, lunch box, and a change of clothes. Pens and notebooks are the most expensive, so you need to prepare more. You should also bring shoes, socks, hats, gloves, neck scarves, etc."
"Where's the money? How much money should I bring?"
"The Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University does not charge tuition fees, and provides a monthly living allowance of ten yuan, so there is no need to carry extra money and tickets. It would be very distressing if they were lost."
"That's it, then I know it well, Damao, why don't you thank you, Sister Cheng Qiao."
Da Mao lowered his head in embarrassment. Although he was one year younger than Li Huan, he was one year older than Cheng Qiao. How could he call him sister? It would be better to call him sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, you have to be careful of my uncle and aunt, they hate you to the core."
