Chapter 199: I went to be someone else’s daughter-in-law

"Loach, how is your brother doing now?"

"My parents said that was not my brother, but my mother promised to give me a little brother in the future."

Gou Sheng still didn't understand what was going on, but Xu Hui had already nodded. Father Li always wanted Mother Cheng to have a younger sister. It seemed that Ni Loach's mother also wanted to have a baby.

"I really want to eat popsicles."

Loach glanced at the soda bottle and suddenly said, Xu Hui didn't say anything. He knew that what Loach wanted to eat was not popsicles, but soda. But there was only one bottle of soda, half for him and half for the dog. How could there be any share for Loach.

"Sister Lele, is the soda delicious?"

Seeing that Xu Hui ignored him, Ni Loach rolled his eyes and looked at the half bottle of soda in Li Le's hand. Li Le's eyes widened: "It's too senior, you have to call me aunt."

Loach: "..." I didn't drink the soda, so I became a generation shorter for no reason.

Xu Hui looked at Loach's dejected look and couldn't help but take out some firecrackers from his pocket and hand them to him. These were bought by Li's father from the supply and marketing cooperative for them to play with.

When Loach saw the firecrackers, he ran to the kitchen stove and pulled out a small wooden stick. There was still flames on the top of the small wooden stick. Several children lit firecrackers one after another and laughed happily.

After eating the pig-killing vegetables, the Chinese New Year was celebrated in a few days. On the evening of New Year's Eve, the Li family moved the dining table to Grandma Xuhui's house, and the whole family gathered around the dining table to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner.

Grandma Xuhui can now sit up half leaning on the pillow, but she can't eat yet, so Mother Li sits on the kang, holding a rice bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other to feed the old lady.

Xu Hui looked at the pork, boiled chicken, stewed goose, steamed carp, and made dumplings on the dinner table. The New Year's Eve dinner was a mess, and his nose was sore. He only saved little Cheng Li once, and Cheng's mother regarded him as

A biological son.

Not only did she have enough food for herself, wear new clothes, and go to school, but even her grandmother, who was lying unable to move, enjoyed the care of her son-in-law, who was not her son-in-law, but better than her son-in-law.

He was unfortunate because he lost his parents when he was young, but he was very lucky to have a grandmother who loved him, a new father and mother who were willing to raise him, and a grandfather Ye who taught him how to read.

Just after twelve o'clock in the evening, Li Huan set off firecrackers. The crackling sound of firecrackers alarmed the villagers. This was the first time in more than 20 years that Li Huan had the confidence to set off firecrackers.

When the villagers who stayed up late heard the sound of firecrackers going off at the village chief's house, they also set off firecrackers behind them. For a moment, the whole Xiangyang Village was full of sparks and the sound of firecrackers.

Cheng Qiao sat by the door of the living room holding the awakened little Cheng Li, looking up at the starry sky. The stars were shining, and a crescent moon had climbed up the high slope, shining coldly on the earth.

Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it is already the first day of the new year of 1972, and it has been two years since she was reborn. These two years have been very difficult, and she is thinking about how to take revenge every day.

Now her enemies are dead, walking away, or in jail. She has worshiped Ye Jun as her master, accepted Xu Hui as her godson, and her own man has even taken the position of village chief. Her rebirth has made many things happen.

deviation.

It was these deviations that not only failed to calm Cheng Qiao's mind, but made her even more alert every day. She did not dare to relax as long as she did not leave Xiangyang Village.

But leaving Xiangyang Village is not something that can be done casually nowadays. In this era where letters of introduction are required everywhere, it is almost a dream to leave without talking.

In particular, Ye Jun's identity is even more sensitive and he can hardly leave Xiangyang Village, and Li Huan is the village chief, so it is impossible for him to leave.

"What a coincidence, do you miss your dad? After the Chinese New Year, we will take our son to visit your dad."

After setting off the firecrackers, Li Huan saw Cheng Qiao looking depressed and thought she missed Cheng Liguo, so she quickly promised.

Cheng Qiao thought, yes, it is still the season of cat winter, and there are usually no big things happening in the village. Why not follow Li Huan to the Hexi Corridor to see how his father is doing now.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, I want to go too."

Li Le, who was wearing a new suit and two red-headed flowers, happily interrupted. Li Huan waved his hand angrily and followed everything without even blinking.

Li Le was unhappy, Xuhui quickly took out colorful fruit-flavored candy balls from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Le's mouth, sweet mouth, sweet heart.

Mother Li smiled and took out several large plates that had been prepared a long time ago. In them were a few White Rabbit toffees, sorghum sweets with a thin layer of skin, croquettes and fried noodle fruits.

There are also frozen red fruits that are as red as agate, orange-red frozen persimmons and black hard frozen pears. Put these three kinds of frozen fruits in a large basin, melt them with cold water, and take a bite of them, which is cool and refreshing.

Peanuts, melon seeds, pine nuts, and hazelnuts are picked by children in the mountains. This kind of dried fruit is not uncommon in Xiangyang Village, and every household has a lot of it.

"Lele, don't stare at your second brother and sister-in-law, come and help mother make dumplings."

"All right."

Li Le washed his hands glumly and helped make dumplings together. Cheng Qiao smiled and threw little Cheng Li to Li Huan, and went to Grandma Chen's room to help her with acupuncture.

"Grandma Chen, can you feel your legs now?"

"Yes, it hurts a lot at night. Fortunately, Goudan, no, Xuhui is well-behaved and sensible. He helped me apply a hot towel on it. It's much better."

Cheng Qiao nodded, returned to his room, took out a hot water bottle, filled it with hot water and handed it to Grandma Chen: "Grandma Chen, if it hurts at night, just change the hot water. No need to use a hot towel. It's a hassle to go back and forth."

"Qiao, thank you."

"Grandma Chen, you can't say that. If it weren't for Xu Hui, little Cheng Li would be dead."

Grandma Chen nodded and shook her head. Everything is fate. She was always worried about what would happen to her grandson after she died. Now she is relieved. With Cheng Qiao and Li Huan here, her grandson's life will not be difficult.

"Coincidentally, these are the money I saved for Xuhui. Xuhui has a subsidy from his father, which is ten yuan a month. In addition to our daily expenses, we can also save this."

Cheng Qiao couldn't help but feel sad when she saw the wad of money in Grandma Chen's hand. She just felt that something was wrong. Xuhui had a subsidy from his father, but what about his mother's.

"Grandma Chen, didn't Xu Hui's parents sacrifice their lives?"

"Hey, they say family scandals should not be publicized, but since my grandson and I live here, I will tell you the truth. Xu Hui's mother is not dead."

"What, he's not dead? Didn't the village say..."

"Yes, Xu Hui's mother started clamoring for a divorce not long after she gave birth to Xu Hui. That's why his father asked to go to the battlefield... Anyway, I treat her as dead, so don't tell Xu Hui."

Cheng Qiao nodded, but pushed the money back, telling her grandma that all the money should be given to Xu Hui, and that it was what he deserved. As for himself, it was his duty to raise Xu Hui.

Xu Hui leaned against the door, listening to the voices of the two people inside, and couldn't help but shed tears. It turned out that his mother was not dead, but became someone else's daughter-in-law.
