Chapter 8 Marry Humpty Dumpty

When Li Yan returned to the door of the house, she found a lot of people gathered in the house, making a lot of noise. After listening for a while, she realized that it was Li Ling who caused the trouble.

The corners of Li Yan's mouth turned up, revealing a slight smile, but Li Ling actually lived happier than her.

He entered the kitchen with a pannier on his back, put down the pannier with difficulty, and was about to pour out the wild vegetables inside when Li Ling ran in.

"Grandmas are gone?" Li Yan asked.

Her eyes were red, "Well, sister, it's not good, dad promised them not to let you stay in the village."

Li Yan wiped away the tears hanging from her eyelashes for her younger sister, "What are you crying about, my sister can't wait to go out to work to earn money and prepare for us to go to college in the future."

"Father said he wanted to marry you to a short and fat noodle seller in the county..." Li Ling wiped away tears.

Li Yan said with a cold face, "He can't think about it!"

Knowing that my sister also said that she was stubborn, but in fact she was not as stubborn as her father. Thinking that she was so good at studying, but was forced to marry a scumbag by her father, Li Ling died of grief, opened her mouth wide, and burst into tears.

When Li Xiangming heard the crying, he ran to the kitchen to look. Seeing that it was Li Ling who was crying, he immediately said sharply, "What are you crying for? Your father and I are still alive and well."

Li Ling cried and said, "Obviously those old women are wrong, why did you agree to marry my sister out of the village?"

"What do you know? What do the villagers think of your sister? Now, only when your sister gets married can they stop their mouths." Li Xiangming explained with a dark face before turning around and leaving the kitchen.

Li Ling yelled, "Sister, he knows how to gag people's mouths, how could he know that it's a fire pit!"

It's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he is greedy for the gift money, Li Yan didn't say anything, just poured out the wild vegetables in the basket and chopped them up.

Li Ling heard the sound of the kitchen knife chopping on the cutting board, and looked up to see that she was chopping pig vegetables calmly, and immediately became even more angry, "Li Yan, you still have the mood to make some pig food, hurry up and find a way! "

Li Yan knew that the little girl was anxious for her own good, so she made a silent gesture to her, and said in a low voice, "Shh...don't make noise, when Dad falls asleep at night, I'll take my ID card and leave."

Li Ling nodded and wiped away her tears, and walked quickly to the water tank, ready to fill the pot with water to cook pig food, but found that the tank was empty, so she had to carry a bucket to fetch water from the yard well.

Li Xiangming sat in the room to smoke, and when he saw his little daughter, who was still crying just now, carrying a bucket to fetch water from the well, he immediately wondered, why did the trouble stop so soon today?

After thinking about it, he sneered, the two girls wanted to fight with Lao Tzu, they were still young.

Li Yan saw that Li Ling had filled the water in a sensible manner, and then sat at the door of the stove to light the fire. She smiled gratifiedly, put the chopped wild vegetables into the pot with a dustpan, added two scoops of corn to stir, and covered the pot.

After scooping up water and washing his hands, he took off the lid of another pot and looked inside. The sweet potato porridge cooked in the morning was eaten, but the pot was not washed, so he had to scoop up water to wash the pot.

"Lingling, what do you want to eat today?"

The noodles made by my sister are delicious, but it’s too much work. She may go to find pork dishes before dawn, so she can’t be tired anymore. Li Ling thought about it, "Let's make noodle soup today."

Although she is still young, she already knows how to feel sorry for others. Li Yan looked at her sister and smiled, "Whoever wants to eat that thing, go to the vegetable field at the back and cut leeks and make scrambled eggs with leeks, and sister will make your favorite spicy oil noodle."

Seeing her sister taking the basin and preparing to knead the noodles, Li Ling cheered up and added a few sticks of firewood to the stove before getting up and taking a kitchen knife to go to the vegetable patch.
