"Qiao, this boy is really bad. Tell me what's going on."
Li Huan was a little anxious. He was worried that Cheng Qiao would tell her about his elder brother's injury. He blinked at her hard, but Cheng Qiao didn't seem to see it.
Mother Li was so angry that she walked to the door and picked up the broom. "You damn kid, if you dare to do anything wrong again, I will beat your ass today."
Cheng Qiao finally couldn't help laughing, and then praised Jiang Meili. Of course, Jiang Meili took care of the injured Li Bing.
"What, the soldier is injured."
"Well, it's just a scratch, but Jiang Meili was so nervous that she didn't dare to neglect it. She went everywhere to borrow tickets, bought meat and nutritional supplements for her eldest brother, and fed her to make him fat. The eldest brother also complained about Meili and said that he had to strengthen it again.
Exercised."
"This damn boy doesn't know what's good or bad. Why is it that this little girl is so devoted to him? I'll give him a good beating when he comes back."
"Well, mother, eldest brother said that there is no need to prepare the wedding room. They will come back and stay for a few days. They will still have to return to the army in the future."
"But your eldest brother is the company commander, so how can he be qualified to join the army?"
"Mom, my eldest brother has made meritorious service and should be promoted to deputy battalion this year. Moreover, Jiang Meili is a local and her parents are also there, so it is very convenient to live there."
"Well, then, getting married is always a big event. You have to get some new furniture or something, otherwise the girl will think that my family doesn't want to see her."
Cheng Qiao nodded, thinking of the gold bracelet Mother Li gave her when she came in. She wondered what Mother Li would give Jiang Meili when she came in.
"Qiao, Mom wants to discuss something with you."
"Mom, tell me."
"Mom will give you two hundred yuan. Can you get a gold bracelet for me?"
"you mean……"
"Mom can't favor one over the other. Both of them are sons. Mom didn't pay a penny for your bride price. Huan Zai earned it all by herself. Mom only gave you a gold bracelet. That Jiang Meiliang is also going to give her a gold bracelet.
bracelet."
"Okay, let me go and take a look for you. Gold is worthless now. You can give me the money when I get it back."
"Okay, let's eat first. After dinner, I'll clean up the house."
Grandma Xuhui was also happy to help, and the two of them went to clean the house happily. Li Huan got on his bicycle, and he was going to find Slender Monkey to get a gold bracelet.
Two months later, when Xiao Chengli turned one year old, Mother Li invited her better neighbors to have a birthday meal. The meal was very simple, with a thick piece of salted pork slices sandwiched between Erhe Noodles steamed buns and a bowl of thick salted pork slices.
Thick white rice porridge.
Even so, Aunt Wang still ate happily. The white rice porridge was fragrant, the salted pork tasted good, and even the steamed buns of Erhe Noodles were chewy.
Several educated youths from the Educated Youth Point also came, and Han Chunmei even happily announced that Zhang Yuefang would marry Chen Damao in August.
Cheng Qiao looked at Zhang Yuefang with a smile. Zhang Yuefang lowered her head with a red face. She finally bowed her head to fate and was ready to marry Chen Damao. Fortunately, she was still a college student at the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University.
Cuihua was also laughing beside her. She actually disliked Zhang Yuefang, not because she was poor, but because her mother's family was helpless. Everyone knew that a woman whose mother's family was helpless always had less luck.
If Zhang Yuefang's natal family was only half as good as Cheng Qiao's natal family, she would be satisfied. Unfortunately, her son fell in love with Zhang Yuefang, and she had to accept it even if she didn't want to.
Wang Xiangyang's excited voice came from the door: "Brother Huan, aunt, brother Li Bing is back, and he brought back a little girl."
Mother Li was excited and quickly pulled Cheng Qiao to see if her clothes were neat and her hair was messy. Cheng Qiao shook her head with a smile, picked up little Cheng Li, and pulled Mother Li towards the entrance of the village.
Not long after, a pair of green men approached. Li Bing and Jiang Meili were both wearing green military uniforms and walked home with dignity. They each carried a military backpack in their hands.
"Mom, why are you out here? Let me introduce you. This is Jiang Meili, your eldest daughter-in-law. Meili, this is my mother."
"Hello, aunt, I am Jiang Meili. I am twenty-two years old and work in the art troupe."
Mother Li seemed to hear a lark singing. This girl's voice was so beautiful. No wonder she worked in an art troupe.
"Hey, it's beautiful. Let's go home."
"Stop, Li Bing, where is my daughter?"
Just as a few people were about to walk home, a voice came over. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Dung Ball holding a woodcutter and glaring at Li Bing menacingly.
Mother Li's heart tightened, yes, Li Bing took Miao Qing with him back then, but now he has brought back Jiang Meili. It's all her family's fault.
"Are you asking about Miao Qing?"
Dung Ball rolled his eyes. If you don't ask Miao Qing, why don't you ask the vixen next to you?
"Uncle Dung Ball, this is a letter written by Miao Qing to you. By the way, if you can't read, you can ask Chen Weidang to help you read the letter."
Chen Weidang immediately stood up, took the letter and read it:
"Father, mother, you wanted to sell me to an old bachelor in the mountains for 200 yuan, so I begged Li Bing to pretend to marry me and take me out. Now that I'm married, we will never die together.
Keep in touch and wish you a speedy return to heaven."
After reading the letter, Chen Weidang looked at Dung Ball in disbelief. Dung Ball's old face turned red. This was something he had secretly discussed with his wife. How did this damn girl know about it?
"She's married, who is she married to, and where's the bride price?"
"The bride price, I didn't give it to you originally, but her husband returned the money to me."
Li Bing's mocking eyes irritated Dung Ball. He glanced at Jiang Meili with a sinister look, suddenly raised the woodcutter in his hand, and slashed at Jiang Meili's face.
Jiang Meili was frightened and wanted to escape, but her legs couldn't control her. Mother Li was also worried. The little girl was a newbie, so don't get hurt.
Just when the edge of the knife was about to touch Jiang Meili, Li Bing made a move. He squeezed Dung Ball's knife-holding hand with one hand, made a fist with the other hand, and punched Dung Ball's stomach hard.
"ah……"
Dung Ball couldn't withstand Li Bing's full blow, and he flew out. The back of his head and back accidentally hit a tree pole. There was only a "bang" sound, and countless little stars appeared in front of Dung Ball's eyes.
.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Dung Ball’s wife ran over, Dung Ball glanced at his wife, blinked, and then closed his eyes. Dung Ball’s wife didn’t understand at first, but when she saw her man passed out, she immediately understood.
"It's killing people, lives are being lost, the People's Liberation Army is killing people, please help me, someone come and save my man."
Li Bing was also shocked. If the brain hit was too unlucky, someone would be killed. Ye Jun came out and put his hand on Shi Qiu's wrist. Within a few seconds, he took the medicine box from the medicine box.
