hidden old spring

Chapter 22

Just move people here. Why do you look like this?
The man was puzzled, but he still glanced at the wall subconsciously.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that their two courtyards were originally two courtyards separated from one large courtyard.

However, the original owner of the yard moved away long ago, and whether it was their home or the one next door, they all moved in later.

Zhao Ergou, a well-known gangster, lived there before, and they had the idea of ​​buying the yard.

But Zhao Ergou raised the price on the ground. They wanted to expand their living area and it wasn't because of their brain problems. Of course, they couldn't follow Zhao Ergou's wishes.

Now that he knows that the yard has changed owners, the man is inevitably a little moved, but when he thinks about the current situation at home, he stops thinking about it.

"Where are Tiedan and the other three?"

Normally these three boys would be helping in the yard at this time, why aren't they here today?

Aunt Li didn't speak, and the man didn't notice it at first, but after a while, he stopped and turned to look at Aunt Li.

"Where are the three of them?"

Aunt Li pursed her lips, glanced at the man secretly, then leaned over again and whispered.

"Then it's just a picture of a girl. She lives in such a big yard by herself..." The man's expression turned fierce after just hearing the beginning.

"Let me ask you where are the three of them!"

Aunt Li was startled. Seeing that her man was angry, she also panicked.

"I, I, I, they went next door, just a little girl, I didn't plan to do anything, such a nice house..."

The man didn't care about his mother-in-law anymore. He quickly came to the wall that separated the two families, put his hands on the wall, and with a force, his head popped out from the wall, and he scanned the yard next door with a fierce look for the child.

He originally thought his children were bullying others, but he didn't want to see his three children cleaning up someone's yard.

After seeing clearly, the man's originally fierce expression softened a bit, and then he noticed the particularly impressive donkey in the yard.

After just one or two more glances at the donkey, the three boys also saw their father.

The youngest child's eyes were bright. He dropped the rotten dustpan in his hand and came to the wall. He wiped his dirty hands on his clothes and then carefully took out an orange translucent object from his arms. He raised his hands high, wanting his father to taste it too.

The man's name was Li Dahu, and he was in the brokerage business. He was quite well-informed in this city, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of orange, gem-like thing.

And even closer, he could smell the aroma of citrus, which seemed a little sweet.

Li Dahu licked his dry lips. He didn't reach out for his son's things, but asked him.

"Where did you get this thing?"

The little boy said honestly.

"My sister gave it to me."

Li Dahu raised his eyes and glanced at the other two older sons. They were also looking at him. He looked quite well-behaved, but his mouth moved, and there was obviously something inside.

Looking at the younger son, he also had something in his mouth, and Li Dahu could even smell an inexplicable aroma while talking.

Li Dahu asked his younger son as his throat moved.

"Is this for food?"

The youngest son was too busy to nod, then he propped his feet on the wall and passed his straight arm forward.

Li Dahu did not hesitate this time and reached out to take the orange object in his younger son's hand. It was a little sticky in his hand. This feeling made him familiar, but the smell in the air made him confused.

He stuck out his tongue and licked it, and the rich sweetness and citrus flavor exploded in his mouth. A different taste suddenly appeared in his bitter mouth. This contrast was fascinating. His body was also screaming crazily, hoping to get rid of it. Eat this thing.

But Li Dahu held back.

He looked at the child, then at the candy bar in his hand, and finally glanced at the room over there.The broken areas on the window were obvious. After Li Dahu took a second look, he looked away and stood on the ground.

Holding the small piece of candy in his rough hands, he whispered instructions to Aunt Li as he passed by.

Aunt Li reluctantly twisted, and Li Dahu opened his eyes.

Aunt Li was frightened.

Although Li Dahu had never touched her even though they had been married for so long, Aunt Li was still afraid of this man. When he glared at her, she wilted.

He turned around and went into the house to get the window paper, but Li Dahu entered the main room holding a candy bar.

Li Dahu's mother lives in the main house, and his youngest son and fourth daughter who are just one month old also live here.

When he entered the house, Li Dahu's mother was changing her little son's diaper. The fourth daughter was lying there like a toad sleeping soundly. Li Dahu just took one look and then turned his attention to the old lady.

"Mom, try this."

When something was put to her mouth, the old lady subconsciously avoided it.

"What? I won't eat it. You can eat it."

Li Dahu couldn't tolerate the old lady's refusal at all. The thing finally came to the old lady's mouth, and she could only open her mouth.

Everything went into her mouth, and the old lady was shocked.

"Hey! Candy! Such a precious thing was given to me."

The old lady wanted to spit out the candy, but Li Dahu stopped her.

"No! Mom, haven't you been feeling bitter after taking medicine recently? This one is sweet."

The old lady still wanted to vomit.

"This thing is a waste for me. My three meals a day have cost me money. How can you still waste your money?" This was to blame Li Dahu for buying candy for her.

Li Dahu smiled, crowded on the edge of the old lady's bed and told her about the three children at home who went to work in the yard and got candy.

The old lady listened to the whole story and couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't blame your wife, she just wanted to be wrong, she is not a bad person." Li Dahu just smiled. The old lady saw it and thought about it, then said.

"I still have a piece of floral cloth in the cabinet. Ask your wife to give it to the child."

Li Dahu knew that the calico was something the old lady kept at the bottom of the box. He had been thinking about making clothes for Siya when she grew older, but now the old lady took it out and prepared it as a gift for the little girl next door.

Li Dahu didn't respond.

"Mom, don't worry. You can keep that cloth. My son knows it well."

He sat here and chatted with the old lady until he was sure that the old lady had finished eating the candy, then he turned around and went out to wash up.

After leaving the old lady's house, Li Dahu turned to the kitchen. Aunt Li was cooking for the family. When she saw Li Dahu coming in, she turned her back and wiped her eyes, as if she was crying.

Li Dahu ignored her. He took the window paper lying nearby and walked out of the kitchen. He climbed onto the wall again. This time he greeted his eldest son.

"Iron egg!"

Tiedan was thinking of ways to pile up the rags he had sorted out and transport them out. When he heard his father calling him, he put down the things in his hands and went over.

Standing under the wall, Tiedan took the window paper handed over by his father.

Tie Dan was a little confused while holding the window paper folded into a small square, and said subconsciously.

"Dad, there is no paste."
