Chapter 123
After Liu Ming finished speaking, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, feeling a little guilty.

"Uncle, it's okay, you usually help our family enough." Liu Hui said quickly, he didn't blame anyone.

"Okay, I've made the decision, let's go to Xiaowu's house. If you don't think it's a good place to live, then when you work in the tofu shop in the next year, you can use your wages to pay for the house, and it will be considered as renting Xiaowu's house. It's done."

The village head knew that Aunt Liu was high-minded, and it was not easy to pull two children over the years, so he didn't want to cause trouble for others.

Aunt Liu, who was originally resolute, lit up when she heard what the village head said.

"Mother, let's go to Little Fifth Brother's house." After Liu Xiaomei finished speaking, she lowered her head, with a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Mother, you can pay attention to this." Liu Hui also said quickly.

He knew that although their kitchen didn't collapse, it had been built for a long time and hadn't been repaired in the past two years, so it was ventilated everywhere. It's fine for him to be a man. If his mother and younger sister lived in the kitchen with him, he would definitely get sick. .

But he knows the mother's temperament, stubborn, so strong.

"Then Xiao Wu, our third wife will live in your old courtyard. Isn't there a vacant room, how about two hundred cash a month?" Aunt Liu was eager to negotiate the price.

She was afraid that Zhang Xiaowu would not accept the money at that time.

"Okay, as much as you say." Zhang Xiaowu didn't refuse, and he could find a way to subsidize the money to Liu Hui later on.

Then Aunt Liu asked Liu Hui and Liu Xiaomei to bring some food and other things to prepare for the New Year. They put them in two baskets and carried them on a pole, which was just right.

"Sister-in-law, then I'll go home first, tell me if you have anything to say."

"Then I'm leaving too." The village chief and Liu Ming left together in opposite directions.

Before Zhang Xiaowu left, he had already told his family that Mrs. Zhang Liu and old man Zhang were also very supportive of Zhang Xiaowu taking them over for a temporary stay.

So Mrs. Zhang Wang came to the old house in front, cleaned it briefly, put on new sheets and quilts, and burned a stove.

When several people arrived, the room was very warm.

After entering the room and sitting down, Aunt Liu burst into tears, "Xiao Wu, thank you, and also thank your father and mother for me."

This room used to be where Zhang Xiaowu lived. It is a rectangle, not too small in comparison. There are kangs at both ends of the room, next to the wall.

In this way, Liu Hui slept on one side, and Liu Xiaomei and Aunt Liu slept on the other side.

It's okay to draw a curtain at night.

The stove in the middle can be used for heating as well as cooking, very thoughtful.

There is also a square table.

"Auntie, the relationship between Liu Hui and I is not a real brother, but it is comparable to a real brother, so there is no need to say thank you. Besides, it is not for nothing if you pay back the money." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.

Looking around the room, there should be nothing missing.

"Xiao Wu, here's the rent for three months, you take it." Liu Hui took six hundred Wen and handed it over.

Just as Zhang Xiaowu was about to decline, seeing Aunt Liu watching all the time, he had no choice but to accept it.

"If you need anything, just ask. I won't delay you to clean up. I'll be leaving first." Zhang Xiaowu left after speaking.

It's getting late, it's time to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Okay, then go ahead." Sending Zhang Xiaowu away, Liu Hui hurriedly started to pack up, took out the things in the basket, there were steamed buns, and wrapped dumplings. Fortunately, it was cold and the dumplings were frozen hard. .

"There is still food in the kitchen, Xiao Hui, you can bring it when you go back. It seems that we won't be able to go back for two or three months." Aunt Liu confessed.

"I stir-fry two dishes, then cook dumplings to eat."

"Okay." Liu Hui left with an empty basket.

"Xiaomei..." Aunt Liu called out, seeing that her daughter was thinking about something, she raised her voice, "Xiaomei?"

Liu Xiaomei, who was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly came back to her senses, and stood up, "Mom, did you call me?"

"What were you thinking just now?" Aunt Liu asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, mother, what did you ask me to do?" Liu Xiaomei quickly denied it, but how could she escape Aunt Liu's eyes.

But she didn't ask, "Cut up the meat and stew pork with cabbage later."

"Then stew the chicken that had lost its feathers in the morning." Aunt Liu was a little flustered at first, after all, her home was gone, and now she has accepted it calmly.

For more than half a year, Liu Hui worked in the old Zhang's tofu shop, and ran errands with Zhang Xiaowu to do business, and the family saved a lot of money.

I was planning to renovate the house and tell Liu Hui my daughter-in-law in the coming year, but I didn't expect that this year will not pass.

"Okay, I'm going to cut the cabbage right now." Liu Xiaomei noticed that there was a water tank behind the door, and there was a cutting board on it. She didn't know what to think of, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

She also came here when she was young, and seeing her daughter's appearance, Aunt Liu had a bad foreboding.

After much hesitation, I decided to ask.

"Xiaomei, Granny Xi from the next village came to me a while ago and said she wanted to marry you. What do you think?"

The voice just fell.

Liu Xiaomei quickly objected, "Mom, I'm only fourteen, still young, besides, I haven't married yet, so how could a girl talk about it first?"

Be firm in your words.

"If you have a suitable one, make an appointment first. After your brother gets married, you will marry again. She didn't say that you will be married now. My mother is asking if you have someone you like. If not, I will ask Granny Xi to keep an eye on you." .”

"mother……"

"A good man has to act first. Many boys get engaged as soon as they are thirteen or fourteen. It's too late for you to get engaged at this age."

Aunt Liu explained.

The family has been unable to open the pot before, and the lifelong affairs of the two children have been put on hold. Now the family has some savings, and the tofu shop is also a long-term job.

It's time to think about the lifelong events of the two children.

"Mom, I... don't want to get married." Liu Xiaomei said hesitantly.

The shadow of Zhang Xiaowu is always in his mind.

In the past, she felt that the possibility of the two of them getting together was quite high, but now her eldest brother said that Zhang Xiaowu's business is very big.

She felt that there was no hope for the two of them, the gap was too great.

"Tell mother, who do you fall in love with?" Aunt Liu could tell at a glance that her daughter had a kind of person.

"No..." Liu Xiaomei's voice was very low.

"Tell me quickly, mother will check for you to see if it works, if not, you can give up Xiaomei in time, and mother will introduce you to a better one." Aunt Liu persuaded.

"Little Fifth Brother."

Aunt Liu had such a look on her face, she should have noticed it a long time ago, she saw Zhang Xiaowu wearing the same shoes as Xiaohui before.

It was only later that I found out that Xiaomei had made two pairs, one pair for each of them. It turned out that my daughter had already had an idea.

"Mom, I know it's impossible to be with Brother Fifth, but I..."

"Then you have asked his opinion." Aunt Liu asked, she thought Xiao Wu was pretty good, and she watched him grow up, but Xiao Wu's business is so big.

I don't know if I can see my own daughter.
