Chapter 53 Section 054
Section 054 Old Man Li Was Beaten
Anxiu spent the whole night thinking about how to make better use of her abilities. She didn't fall asleep. She woke up just after dawn. She was going to put the cows out in the morning, and came back at noon to ask Uncle Dashuan to dig the cellar. It should be a good way to hoard winter vegetables after coming out.There is an ox cart at home, and it can be sold at a market farther than Youji, without being seen by the people in the village, and there should be no accidents.When they really couldn't hide it any longer, they simply moved to the market, recruited a few guys, and said it was a selling business.

When the door was opened, a black figure stood in the corner, hunched over and trembling.Originally, this season was not very cold, but the weather has changed in the past few days, and it suddenly became cold.In addition, there was a cold snap at the beginning, which was unbearable.

Anxiu was taken aback for a while, only to realize that it was Old Man Li, and was taken aback: "Old Man, why are you squatting here by yourself without knocking on the door?"

Uncle Li put on a thick ripped coat, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he stood up with a smile: "Is Xiu girl up? I'm afraid I'll wake you up in the morning, so I'm waiting for you to get up."

"Come in, come in!" An Xiu led the cow back, and dragged Uncle Li into the door.Because of the thin clothes, he was trembling a little, Anxiu wanted to get him some hot water to drink first.Now that he's here, it's natural to have breakfast before going to herd the cows.I was still wondering if something happened to him yesterday, and I was worried.

"Hey." Old man Li replied, and closed the door for Anxiu casually.

After tying the cow, An Xiucai found that the corner of Li's eye was blackened, and the skin on his forehead was torn. The wound had just healed, and it could be seen that it was a new injury.An Xiu took out the kettle from the stove and poured him a glass of water.There were no hot water bottles or gas stoves in this era, and hot water was buried in the stove with a kettle.

Old man Li squatted for most of the night, his lips were darkened, and he hadn't eaten all day, which made him even colder.Anxiu poured water for him, and he quickly took it. Anxiu noticed that the back of his hand was broken in several places, as if he had been beaten.

"Old man, what's the matter with you? You're covered in injuries." An Xiu frowned and asked.She vaguely remembered that old man Li said that his three sons were not filial, could it be his sons who beat them?

"It's...it's okay...I accidentally fell." The old man hurriedly covered it up, dodging An Xin's gaze, and covered his hands with his sleeves, "Accidentally fell...I was scratched by thistle, look at me, the older I get, the worse I get." used."

"Old man, if you have anything to tell me, I'll make the decision for you." Anxiu sighed, comforting the old man softly.As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, old man Li would definitely not want Anxiu to know about his family's scandals.Besides, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, so how can Anxiu decide?

Old man Li forced a smile, and quickly agreed.

Seeing the old man's expression, An Xiu knew that he must be hungry.Hastily lit a fire, a chicken was stewed last night, Anxiu was hot, in addition, he used chicken soup to cover radishes, stir-fried cabbage, braised rabbit meat, and boiled white rice.

Recently, there was not enough food to eat, so Anxiu went to Erbo's house to buy [-] catties of middle-aged rice.The market price of rice is five renminbi, but the second uncle only received four renminbi from Anxiu. He said that among the three seasons of rice, the late rice is the best, and the early and middle rice are not as good as the late rice. After half a month, the late rice will come out, and then weigh it Anxiu, according to five cents a catty.Anxiu had no choice but to agree.

The breakfast was not cooked yet, the old man couldn't stay idle, and carefully swept the yard for Anxiu.There was cow dung in the cowshed. Uncle Li helped Anxiu reconcile, and put it on the wall to dry.Cow dung is a good dry firewood for burning hand stoves in winter.Every time the old man Li collected the cow dung with a dustpan, brought it back to dry, and kept it for Anxiu.

My father-in-law is also such a hardworking and careful person, if the stepmother's temperament is a little bit better, Anxiu will be willing to live with them.The family will help each other, life will be better.

He Yuer and He Shusheng both woke up a little later. Seeing Uncle Li sweeping the courtyard, He Shusheng hurried over to pick up his broom: "Old man, I'll come and I'll come, you take a break."

"No, no, Shusheng." Old man Li smiled and walked away from He Shusheng's hand. As soon as he arrived at Anxiu's yard and saw his baby boy, old man Li's heart soaked in bitter water eased a little, and the smile on his face More, "Go and wash your face, girl Xiu's meal is almost ready. I can do it by myself."

He Shusheng had sharp eyes, saw the scars on the old man's hands and face, frowned slightly, but said nothing, only said that the old man was tired.He fetched water, washed He Yuer's hands and face, and then went into the kitchen to help Anxiu light the fire.

Anxiu's rice was almost done, and she was frying cabbage, when she saw He Shusheng coming in, she yelled at him, "Go and help me sweep the floor of the main room and fold the quilt, I don't need your help here."

He Shusheng put down the fire stick, was about to turn around and go out, when he remembered something, he whispered to An Xiu: "Xiu, did old man Li get beaten? I think his face and hands are torn."

"Be quiet!" An Xiu glanced at him, "I saw it a long time ago. Uncle Li said that he fell by himself. Don't ask later, so as not to make him sad. He specified that he didn't want us to know, so we pretended not to see it."

"Okay, I'll talk to Yu'er back." He Shusheng nodded, turned and left.

Anxiu wasn't worried that they couldn't do it.He Shusheng and He Yuer's ability to pretend to be invisible is very good. Anxiu's supernatural ability is so weird, they can't see it, and Old Man Li's slight injury, they will not make a fuss like they have never seen the world.

Thinking of this, Anxiu actually felt proud, what an amazing little husband and sister-in-law!

After Anxiu cooked the rice, she fetched water to wash her face, and told them to wash their hands, and He Yu'er helped her serve the meal.

The old man Li was stunned when he saw the food on the table. He had never seen such extravagant and wasteful people. It was meat at every turn. The old man was even more surprised when he saw the radish and cabbage. It's only been eaten for two months, why is it already on the table at their house?
"Xiu girl, I know that your life is easier, but you can't be so extravagant. Young dolls, life will be calculated for a long time." Uncle Li said earnestly.Young people always don't know how to live, they can only think about the present, they don't think about the long-term, and the elders should remind them.

Seeing the old man persuading her, Anxiu smiled and said, "It's nothing. These are the chickens, rabbits, and vegetables I bought during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The trees grow their bodies, and Yu'er is young. Give them supplements. How about you, old man?" Eat, I bought three chickens and three rabbits."

Old man Li said ah, he doesn't eat much meat, he just picks up radishes and cabbage.He hadn't eaten radish and cabbage for more than half a year, and the usual food was delicious, and the old man had been hungry for a whole day, so he ate faster, Anxiu was afraid that he would choke, so he served him a bowl of chicken soup.

He picked up chicken again and said, "Old man, eat it. This meat has been stewed all night, and it melts, so it doesn't hurt your teeth."

After finishing speaking, he gave He Yuer and He Shusheng winks and asked them to bring vegetables for the old man.He Shusheng and He Yu'er's eyes hinted at An Xiu that they had magical powers, and they rushed to pile chicken and rabbit meat into the old man's bowl.

The old man Li was so moved that he put the rabbit meat back into the two children's bowls and said with a smile, "I'm old and my teeth don't work hard enough to eat rabbit meat. You two eat it, ah!" Slightly wet, the old man turned around to touch his tears without letting Anxiu and others see.

Anxiu had no choice but to pretend not to see, and buried herself in her meal.
