Hard times have room

Chapter 20

Two days later, Li Cao, whose wound was just scarred, shrank his shoulders and was assigned to work by Xu Xiuying to do some light work of burying seeds.

After a morning, Li Cao was not too tired even though the work was easy.

Li Cao, who had been lying for two days and thinking about it for two days, bowed his head in a place where others could not see it, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and sometimes when he secretly looked at the Li family, the tumbling emotions inside were shocking.

Now is not the time, and her injuries are not yet healed, so rash actions are likely to go wrong.

In the Li family for so many years, Li Cao can be said to be the person who knows the Li family best.

Right now, Li Cao is like a poisonous snake in the dark. When the time comes, it will deal a fatal blow to the Li family.

Paulin struggled with her two cousins ​​for a whole morning at home today, and finally cleaned up the snails she touched two days ago and ate them, she was very satisfied.

It's a pity that the free time at home will not last long, there are still three days, and once the holiday is over, I have to go to the middle school in the town with books on my back every day.

After eating and taking a nap, Paulin came to the back mountain alone with a shovel in her back.

Tonight's wild vegetables haven't arrived yet!

On the way, Baolin saw Li Cao, who was said to have been beaten badly two days ago. She originally thought that she was still injured and should be doing some light work at home. Why did she come out to pick up firewood now.

By the way, what kind of family is the Li family, how can they feel sorry for her, as long as Li Cao still breathes, Xu Xiuying can drive her out to work.

Li Cao saw who was in front of him, looked left and right, there was no one, it was "Paulin", although the two rarely met each other, but every time they met, they looked at each other, and they could read the expressions in each other's eyes. the meaning of.

Usually the two don't communicate much, but Li Cao feels very different about this little sister.

Fate is a wonderful thing, it can tie two unrelated people together, know each other and cherish each other, who can tell clearly.

She knew that Pauline often "dropped" sweet potatoes, dried fruit, and even raw edible things like chestnuts on the side of the road she passed.

I remember the first time I saw that little sister, she should be seven years old, and she came to the house with her aunt Li Tao as a guest.

That day, Li Ju smashed a bowl, but pointed at Li Cao and said she did it. Xu Xiuying neither asked who did it, nor did she look at the broken bowl. Instead, it seemed that she had finally found a reason for the beating. To rush up and pick up the burning stick is an overwhelming beat.

She waited on the rise of her younger brother and sister who had grown up with her feces and urine, and made the fire bigger and bigger, hoping that Xu Xiuying would be cruel.

At that time, there was only Pauline, a female doll who had only seen one side. Although she was shocked by the sudden scene, her face was flushed and her eyes were still full of tears. In the end, she stopped the crazy Xu Xiuying.

Li Cao always felt that this younger sister was a light in her dark life, and she was different.

She felt that Pauline was her sister, not her own sister who was more than a relative, but her only relative.

She grew up being called wild species and threw stones by her peers since she was a child. Since she was a child, she knew that she was not Li Qiang's child, and she had also seen Chenjiazhuang next door who was said to be a relative of her grandmother, uncle and uncle. Those relatives descended from the sky and took her away from the dream of the Li family, but they turned a blind eye, and the naked contempt in their eyes stung her heart, and she will never dream again.

You can only rely on yourself.

When Bao Lin saw Li Cao, she quietly took out two sweet potatoes and put them in her trouser pocket.

After a while, the two got closer and closer, and finally, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Paulin, you come to dig wild vegetables." Li Cao greeted Baolin with a smile on his face: "The tea I picked in the woods in the back mountain just now is ripe and sweet. I'll give it to you. "

After speaking, he put down the frame, unloaded some piles of firewood, and took out a handful of tea bubbles that were wrapped in leaves and pressed by the firewood.

Rubbing his fingers, he handed it over nervously.

Pauline knew her temperament, so she was not polite. She took the tea in her hand, squeezed one and put it in her mouth: "Mmmm, delicious, sweet."

After speaking, he seemed to be greedy and ate two more, and put the rest in his trouser pocket: "I'll eat two more, and the rest will be eaten later on the road."

"Sister Cao, you can take the rest back. I still have them in my pocket. I have to dig wild vegetables later. If you want to eat them, you can go to the back mountain to pick them." The one in the frame was wrapped in leaves, and she picked up the firewood and put it in the frame, while secretly stuffing two sweet potatoes into it.

"Sister Cao, I'm going to dig wild vegetables." Paulin put on her own basket, waved her hand, and walked forward.

Bao Lin would not stop eating the tea that Li Cao gave, nor would she eat too much.

Going home so late now, the Li family will definitely not leave meals for her. Those tea bubbles might be the lunch or dinner she picked for herself.

As for the two sweet potatoes that were put in, let’s save some food, and add a meal in the evening for two or three days.

Paulin won’t give more sweet potatoes. First, she can’t afford it and can’t explain the source. She will give it once every one or two weeks, one to three at a time. , there is always a way to get a few of the fruit trees that are about to mature.

Of course, these things cannot be seen by the other three little bastards of the Li family.

However, Li Cao was miserable by the three small pits of the Li family before, and he has practiced the ability to detect the surrounding environment. It has not been discovered for a long time now.

When Li Cao returned to Li's house and unloaded the firewood, he saw the sweet potato that appeared in the frame at some point, and a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes.

When I got to the wood room, I unloaded all the things, including the tea and sweet potatoes that I brought back, and stuffed them into the pile of pine leaves.

When I went to the main room, I only saw Mrs. Li sitting on the stool and taking the soles of her shoes with a leisurely expression.

Seeing Li Cao coming back, he just glanced at it indifferently and ignored it.

Seeing the situation, Li Cao knew that there was no food for her at home, and Xu Xiuying, Li Qiang and the three children should still be taking a nap.

Mrs. Li is old and feels less.

Seeing this, Li Cao didn't dare to make a sound, just bowed his head aggrievedly and went to the kitchen.

His eyes flashed, soon.

When Li Cao encountered this situation at first, it wasn't that she never made trouble, but no one cared that no one was distressed. In the end, she was slapped twice, but she still had nothing. Later, she learned to be good and stopped making trouble. I lied to my stomach, and now I am looking for something to eat on the mountain, but I still need to fill it with water when I come back, so as not to see the difference.

When I went to work this morning, my aunt and my daughter-in-law were chatting enthusiastically. After two days of filming, they arrived at Chenjiazhuang, the next village.

Chenjiazhuang is next to Shanghe Village. Like Shanghe Village, it is close to Daqingling. It only takes about [-] minutes to walk from Shanghe Village to Chenjiazhuang.

This is the best time.
