The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 338: Bringing Miaomiao home, my father-in-law is about to have a second spring (additional update)

Holding the cute little girl in my arms, my heart softened.

Li Aiguo knew Jia Zhang's temperament.

Born lazy.

It would be even harder to get her to work.

I was 'soft-hearted' and came up with a good idea that could save the Jia family.

As for what will happen to the Jia family in the future.

That's not what he needs to care about.

At this time it was completely dark.

The orange light is projected through the windows and falls on the floor covered with blue bricks, giving people a warm feeling.

Li Aiguo parked his bicycle, held Miaomiao in his arms, opened the door and entered the house.

Today, my sister-in-law Zhao Qingfang came to Li's house as a guest and has not left yet.

Chen Xueru and I were busy working on dinner in the kitchen.

When the sister-in-law heard the footsteps, she poked her head out of the kitchen and babbled: "I used to hear Xueru say that you train drivers are busy at work, but I still don't believe it. Look, what time is it now? Hmm."

Miaomiao was also awakened by this moment. She pulled open Li Aiguo's work clothes, rubbed her big, sleepy eyes, and looked over here!
Before the sister-in-law finished speaking, she saw a small head peeking out from Li Aiguo's coat.

"Kang Dang"

The spatula fell to the ground, and the sister-in-law couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, this is incredible! Child, child, Patriot has brought a child back."

When Chen Xueru heard the exclamation, she didn't care about filling the stove with firewood and came out of the kitchen in a panic.

Seeing the little Miaomiao, Chen Xueru was also stunned.

He looked at Li Aiguo in disbelief: "Brother Aiguo, who is this girl?"

"What are you thinking! Miaomiao is five years old this year. I was only 13 years old five years ago."

Li Aiguo looked at her confused look and knew that this girl was thinking wrong.

Chen Xueru thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

Immediately relieved.

The eldest sister-in-law also came to her senses, but she still nagged: "Then you can't take other people's children to your own home."

Miaomiao is pricking up her ears.

Hearing this, his little face suddenly wrinkled.

Li Aiguo glared at his sister-in-law and led Miaomiao into the house.

Pulling out the drawer, he took out a few small toys and handed them to her.

A slingshot with a rubber band, a chain pistol made of bicycle chains, and a black top.

These are the most high-end toys of this era.

As long as you take it out, it will be the most beautiful cub in the eyes of the children.

But Miaomiao didn't seem to be interested in these toys, and just stared at the little book on the table.

The little books are all collected through Cui Dakui's collective junk shop, which is perfect for using as skill points.

"Miao Miao, do you want this?" Li Aiguo took out a copy of "The Legend of White Snake" and handed it over.

Miaomiao reached out to take it, grinned, and squatted on the ground to read.

"Miaomiao, you play for now, I'll go cook."

Li Aiguo confessed and turned around to leave.

Suddenly feeling something was wrong, he turned around again.

At this time, Miaomiao was holding the comic strip, with tears in the corners of her mouth and her head lowered.

Even though he was half a meter away, Li Aiguo could feel the feeling of grievance.

"What's wrong, Miaomiao?"

"Uncle, does Auntie hate Miaomiao?" Miaomiao raised her little head, her eyes were red.

"No way, your Aunt Xueru likes little girls the most. You will know later." Li Aiguo rubbed her head distressedly.

"Uh-huh."

Miaomiao was a child after all, and her tears suddenly turned into laughter.

Back to the hall.

Under the dim light, Li Aiguo drank tea and told Chen Xueru and his sister-in-law about Miaomiao's life experience.

Chen Xueru's eyes burst into tears when she heard this. She picked up a towel and kept wiping her red eyes.

"Miaomiao's life experience is too pitiful. For such a young girl, she has no parents, and her family property has been occupied by her uncle. This is to force her to die."

"This kind of thing happens too much in rural areas. If a family has only girls, sooner or later the family property will belong to relatives." My sister-in-law grew up in the countryside and is already used to it.

The sister-in-law paused for a moment, but still felt it was inappropriate: "Patriot, don't blame my sister-in-law for being nosy. You and Xueru don't have a child yet. What will the neighbors think if this girl sees her?"

I can't accuse my sister-in-law of being paranoid.

In these days, people's words are terrible, and rumors are as good as knives.

Chen Xueru took her sister-in-law's arm and insisted: "Sister-in-law, Miao Miao is so pitiful. Besides, we are only here for a few days."

"Damn, this girl, my sister-in-law is doing this for your own good." The sister-in-law winked at Chen Xueru.

Children are like sticky glue.

In just a few days, you won't be able to leave her.

Chen Xueru also understood now that the sister-in-law was afraid that she would be burdened.

Chen Xueru herself is still a girl. She has just entered the family. It’s not like she can’t have children, so she will be a stepmother for others?
Also.

If Miao Miao falls into the Li family's household registration, even if she gets married in the future, the Li family will also get a dowry.

It also costs money to raise children, go to school, and find a job.

It can be said that if this girl eats one more wowotou, Chen Xueru's future children will have to eat one less.

Chen Xueru thought for a moment and said firmly: "Sister-in-law, I want to keep this girl."

"Why don't you listen to me?"

My sister-in-law is also a fiery person.

I was so angry that I didn't even eat dinner and left Li's house.

Chen Xueru couldn't stop her and could only send her to the gate of the compound.

Li Aiguo entered the house and visited Miaomiao.

The little girl has become sensible. She put down the toys and said timidly: "Uncle, are the aunts quarreling because of Miao Miao?"

Chen Xueru came back just in time. When she heard this, she felt a pain in her heart. She walked over and took Miao Miao into her arms.

"Miaomiao, this will be your home from now on. You can stay here as long as you want."

Miaomiao then broke down in tears and smiled, and said obediently: "Auntie, you are also a good person."

After Miao Miao stayed, Chen Xueru got busy.

Miaomiao had fleas in her dirty clothes and in her hair.

Chen Xueru took her to the bathroom and took a hot bath with soap, which made her feel delicious.

I still feel a little worried, as I feel that the fleas in my hair have not been completely removed.

I thought of borrowing 2-drops from the Zhou family of the Intermediate Court.

2-D is a herbicide introduced this year from the Big Brother house next door.

Because of the complicated name of 2-Dip, everyone likes to call it 'Didi-Didi'

Didi entered China and quickly became a best-selling agricultural input.

It's not that it's used for weeding, but it's very effective at killing head lice.

Li Aiguo stopped her: "You forgot that not long ago, the girl from Lao Zheng's family in Pi Mao Hutong was poisoned after washing her hair with Didi. Fortunately, Lao Zheng got off work early and sent her to the hospital, which saved her life. "

"Oh, I remembered that the Daqianmen Street Office has been promoting the dangers of Didi to residents in the past two days."

Chen Xueru suddenly realized that she could only borrow a grate from Aunt Liu's house.

Aunt Liu heard that Li Aiguo had adopted a little girl, and rushed over with He Yuyu.

After seeing Miaomiao, they muttered that they would not take care of the child.

"Children are weak, why don't they hold them up with a quilt after taking a bath?"

"Besides, the dirty clothes are full of fleas, so you just leave them in the house?"

Under the command of Aunt Liu, the family was busy again.

Aunt Liu helped Miao Miao wipe her hair, put on clean clothes, picked up the grate and sat in the main room.Li Aiguo went to the cellar to bring a wooden tripod, lit a fire in the brazier, and put the two dirty clothes on it to bake.

As the temperature rises, shake the clothes gently, and the fleas adhering to them will fall into the brazier one after another, making a slight explosion sound, like the sound of beans being fried in a pot.

"Auntie, it should be almost done now, right?" Even though Li Aiguo was a rough man, he still had goosebumps all over his body when he saw those blood-sucking things.

"."

Seeing Li Aiguo's clumsiness, Aunt Liu handed the grate to He Yuyu and asked He Yuyu to help catch the fleas on Miao Miao's head.

She picked up the dirty clothes and when she saw lice and gnats, she smashed them with the nails of her two thumbs. The belly of the lice was squeezed open and blood flowed out.

If you don't want to smash them with your nails, throw the caught lice into the brazier and burn them to death.

The fleas on the clothes are gone, but that’s not the end.

Aunt Liu also bit her along the seam of her clothes with her teeth.

Along with a crackling sound, there were a lot of blood stains on the corners of her mouth.

Finally, I baked the dirty clothes on the fire pit for a while, and then I was done.

Aunt Liu took the towel and wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at Miaomiao dozing in Chen Xueru's arms, and sighed: "This girl has suffered serious crimes before."

Chen Xueru's heart trembled when she thought of the scars she saw on Miao Miao's body while taking a shower.

The people of the Cui family are so cruel!

The night was quiet.

After cleaning up the room, Chen Xueru brought dinner to the table.

"Come on, Miaomiao, eat a steamed bun." She broke off a piece of big white steamed bun and handed it to Miaomiao.

"Thank you, Auntie." Miaomiao could no longer open her eyelids at this time. She took a few bites of the steamed bun and tilted her little head on the table.

But she was still thinking about the sweet white steamed buns, and struggled not to sleep, and she was too sleepy. She opened her eyes and took a bite of the steamed buns, then fell down again.

"This kid is so sleepy."

Chen Xueru was worried that Miaomiao would catch a cold, so she stood up, carried her into the back room, and gently placed her on the bed.

Seeing that Miaomiao was still holding a big white steamed bun in her hand, Chen Xueru wanted to take it, but Miaomiao held it tightly, closed her eyes and moved the steamed bun to her mouth.

Although he forgot to open his mouth, his little face was filled with excitement.

Chen Xueru watched quietly for a long time, pulled the quilt to cover her, and then slowly came to the main room.

"Miao Miao is asleep."

Li Aiguo took two bites of the food, then thought of something, took out a wooden box from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Daughter-in-law, this is for you."

"Jewelry? You also know that I don't like those things. Yeah!"

Chen Xueru opened the wooden box.

The medal shone golden in the dim light, captivating her eyes.

Chen Xueru was about to scream, but she quickly covered her mouth when she thought that Miao Miao was still sleeping soundly in the back room.

He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Patriot, this, this is a medal?"

"How is it, do you like it?"

Li Aiguo leaned back and looked like a world superstar.

Miss Chen was so excited that her eyes narrowed.

This medal is more valuable than the most exquisite jewelry.

But then Miss Chen fell into trouble.

Where should the medal be hidden?

If I put it in a box, will it be picked up by mice?

In the end, it was Li Aiguo, the man in charge, who made the decision.

"Hang it under the photo frame in the main room."

Chen Xueru looked up at the photo frame and said worriedly: "Is it a bit ostentatious?
The residents in the compound often come to visit, and if they are caught, they will gossip behind their backs. "

"This thing is the treasure of the house!" Li Aiguo lit a cigarette and crossed his legs.

That posture needs to be more graceful, more graceful.

"It's true." Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and understood.

She didn't even bother to wash the dishes, found a stool, hunched over and hung the medal on it.

He also tilted his head and looked around to make sure the medal was directly under the frame.

"Brother Patriot, don't tell me, hanging this medal here gives me a lot of confidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rough man came over.

"How about we make a younger brother for Miaomiao?"

Chen Xueru is wearing a gray overalls from the street office today.

Although it is spacious and the color is monotonous, giving people a solemn feeling, it has a unique charm.

"Don't, be careful to wake Miaomiao up." Chen Xueru wanted to push him away, but her whole body was weak and she couldn't use the strength.

Li Aiguo took her hand and walked towards his house: "Our house uses a datewood door, which can't be heard from the outside."

Life is hard these days, and the back rooms of other people's homes are all covered with curtains.

Some people who are not particular about it just make do with quilts.

When this rough man was cleaning up his house, he spent ten yuan to buy two jujube doors from a trust store.

At that time, Chen Xueru found it strange that rough men were not the kind of people who were lavish.

This will finally make sense.

She felt like she was being manipulated by a rough man.

It's just that this feeling seems pretty good.

Chen Xueru's head was tilted to one side of the pillow, and her lips were slightly raised.

Don't let the rough man see it, he will be proud.

two hours later.

Chen Xueru, who had worked hard all day, was even more tired now.

Her delicate little face was full of lingering charm. While dragging her weak legs to clean up, she said softly: "How about I ask for leave from the street office tomorrow and take care of Miaomiao at home?"

"No need." Li Aiguo straightened up and lit a cigarette: "Miaomiao can run from Cuijiazhuang to the capital, not as weak as you think.

Aunt Liu has experience in raising children, so she can be asked to help. "

Chen Xueru threw the cotton mat into the enamel basin, returned to Li Aiguo's arms and lay down.

After she calmed down for a while, she drew circles on his chest with her fingers and said with some embarrassment: "Recently, my father seems to have taken a liking to Tailor Zhang."

"Tailor Zhang?" Li Aiguo was stunned.

The Chen family's house is connected with the shop.

Every time he came back from a mission, he would go to his father-in-law's house for a drink. Why didn't he remember there was Tailor Zhang?

Chen Xueru explained: "After Fan Jinyou was arrested, the sub-district office was worried that the public manager would mess up and cause bad effects."

"We didn't appoint a new public manager, we just sent a seamstress."

Only then did Li Aiguo remember that he seemed to have heard Chen Fangxuan mention it.

It’s just that he has been to Chen’s house so many times, why has he never met Tailor Zhang?

Bad luck?
"My mother died young, and my father worked hard all his life to bring us up. It's time to find a wife to spend his old age in peace."

Chen Xueru didn't notice that Li Aiguo was a little distracted, and said to herself: "Besides, Tailor Zhang has no children and has never been married in his life, so he is considered a good match."

"When I get the chance, I really want to see what my future mother-in-law looks like?" Li Aiguo sat up straight and smiled.

"next weekend"

At this time, Chen Xueru had already recovered.

There was a slight blush on her little face, and her eyes were watery, clear and bright, and she was particularly beautiful.

Li Aiguo was a train driver who drank Linggui Zhanshi wine.

His hands suddenly became dishonest.

"I just said a few words about business, and you want to provoke me again... um..."
