Yan Yixin returned to the room after washing and saw Li Hui sitting on the kang chatting with Wang Sen. He stepped forward and cupped his hands and said:
"Uncle Li, Uncle Wang."
Li Hui patted the place next to him and motioned for him to sit down.
"As a family, don't be so polite. You cooperated very well today. Tiedan has accepted you. Let's get along well in the future. How was the shower just now? Is it cold?"
"It's not cold, the room is very warm." Yan Yixin replied with satisfaction, "Brother Tiedan has actually realized his mistake. He has a very good personality and we get along very well."
He thought it would take him several months to bathe in the farmhouse, but he didn't expect that the Li family was different from what he thought. Not only did it have many rooms, but it also had a large yard and a special wing, making it feel like home.
Families who don’t have a private room in the county go to a dormitory to deal with it. Not only is the cost high, but the water is often not hot. Because the county government operates it itself, people often dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Wang Sen yawned and braced himself:
"Brother Li, your house's penthouse has been renovated very well. Who built the fire wall? When I get home, I will also renovate the vacant house."
"When you think about it, come home and I'll find someone for you. Go to bed early. You have to drive back to the county tomorrow. Brother Xin also has an early rest. I'll wake up with Tiedanmao every day.
Run, you come with us."
"Yes."
Just as he was talking, Li Heng came in excitedly from outside, holding the quilt in his arms, saying as he walked:
"Brother Yixin, my mother agrees to let me sleep with you tonight. Can we...Dad? Why are you here?"
What kind of words is this!
Seeing Wang Sen's joking smile, Li Hui rolled his eyes angrily.
"I am the head of the family, why can't I do it anywhere?"
Li Heng said "ah" in embarrassment and grinned innocently.
Li Hui was too lazy to pay attention to him, stood up and said:
"Sleep properly at night and don't pressure your brother. You'll be as usual tomorrow morning. You haven't been idle these days."
"No, no." Li Heng shook his head hurriedly, "I take Hu Zi out at the beginning of the day every day, and he never falls down."
"Okay, rest early and stop nagging. Your brother and Uncle Wang have been traveling all day, and they are tired."
Li Heng put the quilt on the kang and nodded obediently.
"I know dad, I'll take you out."
"No, go to bed early."
When I came out, I saw that the west room was still lit with wax, so I thought Cheng Xue was cleaning it. When I entered the room, I found that there was no one there. Yan Yixin forgot to turn on the lamp after washing. The young man comes from a good family and doesn't care about these things. He has to find time tomorrow.
Just a reminder.
Rolling up his sleeves, he poured the water out of the tub, brushed it clean, mopped the floor again, and opened the window for ventilation. When he filled the water tank, Cheng Xue came back from outside.
"Hey, you've finished cleaning up? It's so fast!"
"Sent it away?"
Cheng Xue nodded, blew out the candles, followed him out, and briefly told him about going to Jiang Jianye's house.
Adding new people to the country is a big deal. Even if you pass the county government road, the village has to tell you. As for the clan, they have no plans to tell you. Anyway, they will see the carriage tomorrow morning and it will be difficult not to know.
Back in the main room, Ms. Liu was sleeping with her two children. When she saw Cheng Xue coming back, she hurriedly got up and said:
"We're back. I don't know what's wrong with these two little guys. They just won't sleep."
At this time of day, there is no need to coax the two siblings into sleeping.
Cheng Xue took off her shoes and got on the kang with a smile, and both children threw themselves into her arms.
Although we only left for a few days, it was a long time for a child.
Mrs. Liu understood instantly when she saw this, and said with a smile:
"I miss you so much, please hurry up and have sex. By the way, Erxuan will enlist in the army soon. After breakfast tomorrow, I will go back without my sister Wan. My family is really worried."
Cheng Xue nodded, hugged the babies in her arms tightly and said:
"After Erxuan is sent away, my aunt and sister Wan will come to stay for a few more days. When my eldest cousin comes to work on the forest farm, let him take Tiedan and brother Xin to live together. It's cold, so don't toss around."<
/p>
Yujiatun is eight miles away from the forestry farm, which is neither far nor close. Walking is fine when the weather is warm, but winter is too painful.
Yesterday, Yu Huai and his son came over to discuss this matter with Mrs. Liu. They originally planned to have their eldest son pick him up at his nephew's house, but they didn't expect that there would suddenly be an extra child.
"Can...can it be done? Brother Xin will not be happy!" Ms. Liu was a little worried.
If she knew that the couple wanted to adopt, she would definitely not agree. It doesn't matter if the child is young, he is already thirteen years old, and there is a nine-year-old daughter at home, which is very inconvenient.
Li Hui didn't know what she was thinking, but he just thought that she was afraid of causing trouble to the couple.
"Don't worry, aunt. Brother Xin is not that kind of child. Just let your cousin come live. After the Chinese New Year, I plan to take my whole family to the county to accompany me in my scientific examination. Then my cousin will help us look after the house." p>
In this way, Ms. Liu had no objection at all, smiled and thanked her, and left the east room.
Li Hui looked at the two very clingy children in front of him and felt particularly uncomfortable.
He was used to holding someone in his arms at the inn every night. In order not to share the same room with Yan Yixin, he deliberately pretended to be drunk and hid there. Now that he was fine, he had no benefits at home. He could only spend the long nights counting sheep endlessly.
Passed...
……
The next day, it was freezing in the northern part of Liaoning Province. The temperature suddenly dropped like a joke, without even a process.
Li Hui woke up and felt that the room was cold, so he quickly put on his clothes and went out to collect firewood.
The tiger that usually waits in the yard early on weekdays also stayed in its nest today. The remaining water in the basin was frozen.
Li Hui felt sorry for it, so he untied the rope and led it into the house, letting it lie under the window.
Just as I lit the stove in the east room, Li Heng's voice came from the yard——
"Brother, come in, it's very cold."
I changed from "Brother Yixin" to "Brother" in one night, thanks to Li Hui, Cheng Xue, and Yan Yixin's efforts.
Huzi heard the voice of his little master, "Put Leng——" and stood up. Then he saw Li Hui's eyes and lay down again.
After lighting the fire on the stove in the west room, Li Hui went into the house and rummaged through the cabinets to find cotton-padded clothes.
Cheng Xue opened her eyes when she heard the sound and asked in a hoarse voice:
"What are you looking for?"
"Winter clothes." Li Hui replied without raising his head, "It's getting cold outside. If you lie down for a while, both stoves will be lit."
It seems that there are two types of men looking for clothes. One is to just stand there and ask "where is it" without doing anything. The other is like Li Hui, who rummages through the boxes and rummages around, and then it's as if he can't see, and lets the cotton-padded clothes pass in front of him.
"Floating by".
Cheng Xue finally understood how the married women in the department felt when they gathered together to complain about their men's "bad habits."
Speechless, helpless, and helpless.
He sat up straight, pointed at the clothes he threw ruthlessly on the kang, and reminded:
"Stop turning it over, it's right there!"
Li Hui turned his head when he heard this, looked in the direction of her finger, and started to put things away with an "ah" sound.
Fortunately, he has strong organizational skills, otherwise it would really cause family conflicts.
Li Hui was probably embarrassed himself, so he put on a flattering smile that made Cheng Xue roll her eyes...
