Men and women eating in the courtyard

At this moment, the two of them listened to the chat between their elders and their second brother, and did not dare to argue. They got dressed and folded the quilts.

Xue Cai quietly fetched water and washed his face, glancing at his second brother from time to time.

Li Xue folded two beds of quilts and got down to the floor to wash her face and brush her teeth.

The sound of everyone's tossing also woke up Li Xuewen and Zhao Yafang.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law came to the middle room dressed neatly. The eldest sister-in-law was busy making breakfast with Liu Yin. The eldest brother silently touched the stool and sat down next to the eldest grandma.

Li Xuewen looked at his second brother's face and saw Li Xuewu smiling at him, so he smiled back with an unnatural "hehe".

When Li Xuewu was packing up his belongings to return home after retiring, he checked his belongings and found out that his mother had sent a letter, and that his eldest brother was working and getting married, his third brother was taking exams, and his grandmother had passed away due to illness.

So when I saw Zhao Yafang coming out just now, I stood up and called sister-in-law.

Zhao Yafang agreed and went to help her mother-in-law Liu Yin.

Li Xuewu looked at his elder sister-in-law's unnatural look, and knew that it was the first time that his elder sister-in-law met him. Perhaps it was because his elder brother told her about his past, so he didn't care. He put his arm around his elder brother's shoulder and patted her twice.

"The eldest brother is married and has a successful career. My brother's congratulations are a bit late."

Li Xuewen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this "devil king" who suddenly came home to say this, and he laughed "hehe" twice.

"I haven't heard the word "big brother" from my second brother for a long time. You have been asking me to study literature since you could beat me. Today, I see that my brother has really grown up."

Li Xuewu looked at his brother, and then at his younger brothers and sisters who were sitting by the kang, and finally understood his influence in this family. How domineering his predecessor was, even his eldest brother was afraid of him.

"Thank you for your concern, brother. My brother is young and ignorant. His head was injured this time. I can't remember many things from the past. I hope that brother won't care."

Li Xuewen looked at his well-educated younger brother in front of him, speaking in elegant words, and couldn't believe his eyes.

I thought about the conversation between my younger brother and my eldest grandma just now. After all, I resisted touching my younger brother's head, mainly because I was afraid that my younger brother would fight back.

Li Xuewen was very depressed. He originally wanted to wait for his younger brother to grow up, educate him well, and talk about the things he bullied his brother in the past. But now his brother is injured and can't remember anything, so what else can he say.

"Really don't remember? Does Zhang Yanan still remember?"

Li Xuewu shook his head blankly.

"Where's Dong Wenwen?"

Li Xuewu still shook his head.

"Wang Yajuan? Wang Yamei? Do you remember those two sisters?"

"Xu Huizhi?"

While Liu Yin was cooking, she was speechless when she looked at the two brothers. Zhao Yafang was twitching inwardly when she looked at her brother-in-law.

Li Xuewen sighed.

"It seems that you really don't remember, so how do you remember our family?"

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering who these people in his elder brother's mouth were, but they all sounded like women's names.

"I don't remember my family either. My comrades told me some about it. I packed up the letters and learned some about it. I also learned about my place of origin. I didn't know until I got home and checked in."

Li Xuewen looked at his younger brother and became silent. The previous beatings were in vain and he could never get them back.

The eldest grandma was smoking her pipe and watching the two brothers bickering with a smile in her eyes.

At this moment, Father Li came back. He went into the house, took off his coat, washed his face, and sat down at the Eight Immortals table with a desk against the wall.

As soon as Father Li entered the room, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

When Li Xuewen saw his wife's eyes, he stood up and went back to the house.

Li Xuecai and Li Xue also hid in their eldest brother's house.

Grandma just touched Li Xuewu's scar, patted his face, and sat on the kang and listened silently.

"Just forget it. Just forget about the past. It's rare to be confused."

Grandma said with a sigh.

At this time, Li Shun snorted and said, "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit!"

Liu Yin wiped her eyes with her sleeves, feeling really sorry for her son.

Li Xuewu saw that everyone was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly darkened.

It seems that Li Shun, the father of this family, has a very bad attitude towards him. It may be related to the past of his predecessor, and his mother feels sorry for him.

Li Shun ignored Liu Yin and continued: "Your eldest brother is getting married and there is no more room to live in the family. Please settle your job as soon as possible and find a house and move out as soon as possible."

Liu Yin asked: "Where can he live? Why are you so cruel!"

Li Shun: "I treat him well enough. Once the work is settled, we will separate and go out alone. When I left, didn't I say that I will rely on myself in this life? If I have ambition, can I return to this nest?"

"His father, where can we find a place to live in this ice and snow!"

Li Shun straightened his body and did not look at Li Xuewu.

"A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. How can you live a life like this? My second brother was a fool back then. How can he survive in the mountains?"

Liu Yin saw Li Xuewu looking at them in confusion.

He hurriedly explained: "I'm talking about your second uncle, who now works in the Forestry Bureau of Jilin Province in Northeast China. Your aunt works in the Shenyang Railway Bureau. Your second uncle's family has a sister named Li Juan who is 20 years old. She and your aunt work in the railway, and a younger brother My name is Li Xueli, I am 18 this year, and I am working in the forestry industry with your second uncle."

"Your second uncle helps your dad collect medicinal materials every month. Usually, he takes the train to the station and your dad picks it up. Your grandma and I prepare it after we pick it up. Some are sold to pharmacies, and some are sent to the countryside when your dad is on vacation. Take it with you when you see a doctor and sell it.”

Only then did Li Xuewu learn that his father Li Shun went to the countryside to practice medicine and sell medicine in order to support the family. It seemed that the salary was indeed not enough to support the family.

"Mom and Dad, thank you for your hard work."

Li Shun breathed out from his nostrils when he heard these words.

"Don't be ridiculous. The family will be separated sooner or later. Your eldest brother has to take care of himself in his old age. He will live with us. Everything in the house belongs to him. When you work, you can divide it. When your third brother works, he will also divide it. Let's live a good life. It’s all up to you.”

Zhao Yafang, who was filling the firewood, paused and glanced at Li Xuewen. At this moment, Li Xuewen was pretending to be an ostrich and how could he dare to look at his wife's eyes.

It was agreed upon last night that Li Xuewen would not dare to mention anything when his second brother came back this morning to ask for a house in the school.

Li Xuewu looked at his stubborn father who wanted to drive him away, and felt his throat go dry. Maybe it was because of his deep love and deep responsibility.

The older generation can also understand their thoughts, and they also have ambitions in their hearts. How can they starve to death in this era with just the inventory in their brains and the injured Golden Finger?

"You're right. If you can afford to eat meat, you can't afford to watch others eat meat. Although I can't remember many things in the past, I still bear the responsibility for everything I have done. I will arrange the work early, and I will move if I trust you. Go out, I’ll pay for the food these days.”

As he said that, he took out a small bag from his luggage bag, took out 20 yuan and 30 kilograms of food stamps, put them on the Eight Immortals table, and pushed them to Li Shun's hand.

Liu Yin cried and slapped Li Xuewu on the shoulder.

"Why are you so stupid! You are your father's son. He should raise you and educate you. You don't need to thank him, and don't blame him. I didn't send you to join the army because I was afraid that something would happen to you. Why are you still talking to your father? Competing? Put it away quickly!"

Li Shun put the money and tickets into his pocket.

"Take it, why not take it, you are 19 years old. I have been carrying a medicine box with my father to see a doctor since I was 19 years old. How can I let him take advantage of me for free?"
