Chapter 223
"I've made all the delicious food." Li said in a low voice, "That child suffered a lot outside, and my mother's heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife, and it hurt."
Shen took out all the meat and said, "At least I'm back, good days are yet to come."
"Hey." Li Shi lowered her head and wiped away her tears, her movements were still neat.
Plate after plate of dishes was served on the table, not to mention the huge table was full, and there was another layer on top of it.But she cooked all the dishes that Li could think of, she wiped her eyes outside the room, and then entered the door with a smile.
"Eat quickly." Li Shi said, "Most of them are what Brother Qing likes to eat, I don't know Brother Hui..."
"It smells so good. Mother's cooking skills are getting better and better." Brother Hui said with a smile, "Brother Qing is also here to eat, which ones do you like?"
"Everyone sit down." Liu Yaoqing said, "I like to eat everything. Qin Jingyu, Liu Doudou, and Bainiangxian, I have met your uncle here, and I will listen to my uncle's words in the future, you know?"
The three children rattled over, looked at Brother Hui, then at Liu Yaoqing, and called uncle in unison.
Brother Hui rubbed his head one by one and said, "They're all clever, I'll buy you delicious food when uncle has some money."
"Don't spoil them." Liu Yaoqing said with a smile, "When they grow up a bit later, they will all grow wild raspberries for me and Brother Ning. Children can work in the fields when they are five years old. You have not had fun for a few years .”
"Father, you don't work in the fields yourself." Liu Doudou pursed her lips and said, "I want to be like father, eat whatever I want, and don't have to work in the fields."
"Hehe, Liu Doudou." Liu Yaoqing stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, "What your father and I do is much better than farming, even if you learn it, you may not be able to learn it. Let's talk to your uncle first." Let's learn to farm together."
Before coming from Dan County, Liu Yaoqing had made an agreement with Brother Hui that Brother Hui would stay on the mountain in a short time. On the one hand, he had been away from the Li family for a long time and wanted to get closer, and on the other hand, he wanted to let Brother Hui know more about the mountain. , Plant the land first, and then talk about what you want to do later.
At this time, Brother Hui seemed to be in good spirits, but after all, he hadn't eaten well since he was a child, and he was still weak due to his poor health.Seeing her distressed, Li kept trying to pick up vegetables for him.
The meal was almost finished, Liu Yaoqing secretly called the three children out of the house.
He was mysterious and looked around from time to time, causing the three children to look around closely, Qin Jingyu had a very serious expression on his face, and looked at Liu Yaoqing with a straight face, waiting for him to speak.
"Let me tell you." Liu Yaoqing lowered her voice, "Uncle just came back from the outside and he is still not in good health. You can't take the initiative to hug him, understand? But you can't tell uncle directly, he will be unhappy .”
Bai Niangxian instantly understood, "Are you just like Dad, who is too weak to hold you up? Don't let us tell, we all know, Dad, don't worry."
"En...about the same." Liu Yaoqing could only nod her head.
His strength is already so great. When the child was small, he was fine, and he could hold it with one hand, but now all the children are like chubby little ones, round and chubby. Even Mrs. Li can only hold one. Definitely not two.
Liu Yaoqing had told them before that he couldn't just say that Daddy couldn't hold him, otherwise he would be sad, but he didn't expect the children to remember it in his heart, which made Liu Yaoqing very relieved.
No child is born to understand these principles. If adults do not teach them, when the children grow up, they may learn well or learn badly. Liu Yaoqing attaches great importance to this point, especially his children are smarter. It's easier to be bad.
"Okay, let's go in." Liu Yaoqing said.
Bai Niangxian ran in first, leaned on Brother Hui's lap, and said eagerly, "Uncle, can you give me potato chips?"
"We are eating now, and we don't have potato chips to eat." Brother Hui picked up a piece of potato for Bai Niangxian, "Is it good to eat potatoes? The taste is similar."
"En." Bai Niangxian ate it without refusing, then thought for a while and said, "Unexpectedly, Uncle is just like Dad, refusing to give me potato chips casually. Uncle is very sensible..."
Liu Yaoqing heard this, and hurriedly said, "I don't know where this child heard it, and adults who say that they give him potato chips casually are not sensible..."
"Of course, it's not good to eat potato chips as a meal." Bai Niangxian was quite serious.
It was almost the end of the meal, and Mrs. Li kept telling Brother Hui to eat, but didn't say much.
Liu Quanjin came in from the outside with mud still on his clothes, "These are the best strawberries from the greenhouse."
Putting the strawberries on the table, Liu Quanjin looked at Brother Hui, his eyes were red.
He knew that Brother Hui was coming back, but he didn't dare to come and meet him. Brother Hui has been different from other children since he was a child.
That's when I didn't like Brother Hui anymore, but that was also his son, and I haven't seen him for so many years.
Brother Hui didn't even look at the strawberries on the table, and said calmly: "Father is back, let's eat."
"You..." Liu Quanjin opened his mouth, trying to say something.
"I'll talk about those things later, let's eat first." Brother Hui said, "Mother, tell the children to go out to play, and I'll talk to dad."
Glancing at Brother Hui, then at Liu Quanjin, and then at Liu Yaoqing, Mrs. Li nodded at him and coaxed the children out.
In the room, after waiting for Liu Quanjin to finish his meal, Brother Hui said again, "Dad, you really didn't know that I was taken away back then?"
For so many years, the family has kept the matter of Brother Hui secret, and Liu Yaoqing only vaguely knew that it should be the old man Liu who made the decision to sell Brother Hui.It's just that the people in the village don't know much about it, and Liu Yaoqing didn't ask old man Liu directly, so what he knew was not specific.
In other words, no one was willing to speak about Brother Hui.
At this time Brother Hui came back, standing there alive, his appearance resembled Liu Quanjin in many ways, even people who didn't know him would not doubt Brother Hui's identity if they saw it.
"Back when I took you to the town, I met your uncle and told me that your grandfather had fallen at home and told me to go back..." Liu Quanjin said in a low voice, "At that time you refused to go back and insisted on staying in the town. Uncle just..."
"Father, did my grandpa really fall after you came back?" Brother Hui asked.
Liu Quanjin stopped talking.
Of course he remembered that when he got home, old man Liu was smoking in the yard, and he didn't look like he had fallen in the slightest.When old man Liu saw him coming back, he didn't let him speak at all, and directly drove him to work in the field...
When Liu Quanfu came back that night, he didn't bring Brother Hui back, so Mrs. Li asked, old man Liu and Mrs. Li made excuses to get angry and refused to let Mrs. Li speak.
At that moment, Liu Quanjin would not let Mrs. Li speak, and wait for Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li to calm down.
But later, old man Liu didn't mention this matter at all. Mrs. Li found fault and took the dowry from Mrs. Li's house. Nesting on the kang like a cat, Mrs. Li had to stare at it every day, otherwise Liu Yaoqing, who looked like a kitten, might disappear one day.
Year after year, old man Liu and Liu Quanfu didn't mention this matter, as if Brother Hui didn't exist in the family.
"You're not very young, but it's great to contradict your elders."
"You can't have such a child, otherwise, sooner or later, this family will let him go."
"Two heads against the elders in three days, will it be okay when he grows up? Brother Hui is not obedient at this age, and he doesn't listen to what his parents say. I think this child is rebellious."
"In this way, send him out as an apprentice, learn some skills, and also ask someone to discipline him, learn some rules, and he will become a talent in the future."
"It's a pity for the child of the third family. If he is obedient, he can work now."
This is what Liu Quanfu and Mrs. Li said, and what they said was like flowers. Mr. Liu and Mrs. Li listened and did not refute at all.
At that moment, Liu Quanjin believed Liu Quanfu's words, and the Li family couldn't get away from taking care of Liu Yaoqing.
At that time, some old people in the village couldn’t bear to see it. They said in private that Brother Hui might be a peddler, and others felt the same. Otherwise, if the child was sent out to learn crafts, there would be no chance for the two parties to meet. The adults would have to meet each other. How many years does it take to learn art?
Liu Quanfu talked nonsense at home, Liu Quanjin believed it, and if Mrs. Li said a few words, he would get angry. Later, Liu Yaoqing fell ill several times, Mrs. Li was busy taking care of Liu Yaoqing, and had no other time to find brother Hui.
Old man Liu didn't like Brother Hui from the bottom of his heart. He had reasoned with him since he was a child and was not filial. He had too many ghosts in his heart.Sometimes old man Liu couldn't speak in front of Brother Hui, and he felt in his heart that this grandson was there or not.
"Father." Liu Yaoqing said softly, "It's been so many years, you haven't thought about why Brother Hui never came back, our family lives so well, why didn't Brother Hui come to enjoy the blessings? Uncle said back then to send Brother Hui As an apprentice, what exactly do you learn, and you didn't ask?"
"Your uncle said that Brother Hui was disobedient, and he contradicted him every day at home." Liu Quanjin said in a low voice, "Your grandfather is very disappointed, no matter how you talk about Brother Hui, it doesn't make sense."
"Father. That's because my grandpa and uncle are doing things that are not decent, and I just don't like it. Xiaobao is obviously older than Brother Qing, why are all the eggs at home given to Xiaobao, and he can't bear it?" No more, and I refused to give Brother Qing a bite." Brother Hui said, "I was standing by the side and asked my grandma to give Brother Qing a bite of egg, and Grandma scolded me in turn, saying that I am so old I'm still thinking about this delicious food. When Dad comes back, after listening to Grandma's words, grab me and beat me without saying a word."
"Uncle and the others lied to you, you firmly believe it, and you don't believe anything I say." Brother Hui shook his head lightly, "Instead they said that I did something wrong, what did I do wrong?"
"At that time, I thought, when I am older and can work, I will come out to see what can make money, save some money, let's split up, and Brother Qing can eat something good..."
Brother Hui said lightly, with a very flat expression on his face.
Back then, he was obviously just a child, but he had that kind of thought.Listening to Liu Yaoqing, she felt that if she hadn't lived a new life, she might not be as good as Brother Hui. He is an indomitable man who can accomplish great things.
