A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 26
Li wanted to say what he wanted to say and said nothing more.

The cloth was neatly folded and placed on the bed.

Mother and son, a family of four, were speechless for a moment.

After a long time, Mother Li broke the deadlock first, but it was absolutely impossible for her to apologize to her son. Otherwise, where would she put her face as a mother?

She just said gruffly, "Eat."

Then he came to the dining table, and when the staple food was being distributed, he picked up a large steamed bun and put it into his eldest son's bowl, and then started eating by himself.

In Mother Li's view, this behavior was already a sign of weakness.

Li Xiang didn't hesitate to get down from the ladder that was handed to him. He winked at his siblings and signaled them to eat in peace first.

The dinner table was quiet, with only sporadic chewing sounds.

After a while, Li's mother suddenly said: "Huairu came to see me two days ago and said that she wanted to let my little brother take BangGeng to study and do homework together after school."

When Li Xiang heard the news, he frowned slightly and complained, but he endured it. He thought to himself that Li's mother had probably agreed, and it would be meaningless for him to express objections at this time.

He Zuo said indifferently: "Oh, you can make the decision on this."

At this time, Mother Li said, "I didn't agree immediately. I said I would discuss it with you."

Li Xiang looked at Mother Li with slight surprise. According to her temperament, she would have agreed to this trivial matter on the spot and not have to wait for him to come back.

Faced with her eldest son's question, Mother Li explained in a gentle tone, not knowing whether it was to make up for her apology, "I don't like that kid Bangge very much. He is naughty and full of evil ideas. What if he brings our little brother into trouble?" manage."

Mother Li's reaction was normal. All mothers felt that their children were brought up by others.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment and gave some advice: "It's okay for the two kids to just be study partners after school, but they still have to talk to the Jia family first. If the two kids don't learn well together, , just leave as early as possible, don’t delay anyone.”

Mother Li had always been embarrassed because she had not promised Qin Huairu about this matter. When her son said this, she thought she was making a fuss.

Or let two children try it first, maybe they can really help each other.

The eldest sister saw that the atmosphere at the dinner table had relaxed at this time, and she talked with her brother about the fabrics she had brought back.

There was hope in her heart, and there was an unconscious expectation in her voice.

"Brother, what sizes of fabrics are there? Can we make a lot of clothes?"

Li Xiang took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, and said while picking up vegetables: "30 feet, make three sets, you have two sets, one blue and one green, and leave the remaining 10 feet blue for mom to make another one."

As expected, Mother Li took the lead in objecting after hearing this distribution. She not only opposed making clothes for herself, but also opposed making two sets for her daughter.

"I don't want it. My clothes are enough. It would be nice to have so much cloth for each of you to make a suit for each of you. It's just right for you and your brother's height. 20 feet is enough to make one large and one small clothes."

"Yes, big brother, you and your little brother can make one set each, and then make another set for mom. It doesn't matter if I don't, the clothes on me are enough."

Following Mother Li's words, the eldest sister also began to persuade her. However, her voice became softer and softer as she continued speaking. In fact, she felt sad in her heart.

"Just do as I say. Forget what I just said. There are still a lot of good things. You don't need to be modest." Li Xiang put down his chopsticks and threw the remaining half of the bun back into the bowl. His voice There is an uncontrollable anger inside.

He was really fed up. He had already said it countless times, so why couldn't he just do it?

There is enough food, why not eat it first? Why should we secretly sell it for money?

Why do you have to push the meat dishes you brought back from left to right? You would rather swallow your saliva than dip your chopsticks in it. It can be eaten in portions per head, so everyone can eat it.

After he was admitted to college, he also gained confidence. He said it more than a hundred times that he no longer had to worry about life as before and took care of his own health first. In at most half a year, he would pay back the remaining debts with interest. , but just don’t listen, just don’t listen.

Li Xiang's mentality collapsed at this time. The reason was both Li's mother's distrust of him and frustration with his family's old ideas that could not be broken.

He does not need one person in the family to sacrifice unilaterally. When making any decision, this person must be the last one. If there is really a choice, then everyone takes turns. This is family, isn't it? Why rely on burning one or two people forever to make everyone happy?Li Xiang, who knew something was wrong with his mood, left the dining table and came to the back room.

Li Xiang repeated in his heart over and over again, "They are the closest family members. They love me and I love them too."

After a while, he calmed down, put his mind back together, and returned to the dinner table.

I found that the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point again. At this time, even Mother Li, who always liked to speak out, fell silent.

He looked at the eldest sister with red eyes and felt guilty, feeling that he shouldn't have vented his anger just now.

Li Xiang forced out a smile and explained to her softly: "I see that girls as old as you in other people's homes are well-organized. You are also a grown-up girl, and it's time to pay attention to these things. It's better to go out when you go out." You need to dress decently, it’s not good to run around in mom’s work clothes anymore.”

Then he turned to Mother Li and explained: "You got that work clothes three years ago, and you have to sew and mend them a lot. It's nothing to wear to work. If you have something to do outside on weekdays, you still have to be more formal. Clothes, clothes for me and my little brother, don’t worry, next time we find fabrics, it will be our turn."

Little brother Li, who has always had no sense of presence, also followed behind and said obediently: "Yes, next time it will be my turn and my eldest brother's turn. This time, my mother and eldest sister will do it first."

Except for being a little selfish when it comes to food, Li Xiaodi is relatively easy to talk to at other times, and he didn't start to make trouble just because he didn't get the new clothes this time.

He has always been open-minded. He is used to wearing old clothes anyway, and many of them are for girls. He is often laughed at by other children outside, but he is thick-skinned and doesn't care.

When the mother and daughter saw the brothers talking to themselves about settling the matter, they didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

If Li Xiang really wanted to get angry, they, as family members, would still be frightened.

It's just that he is often temporarily forgotten because of his playful and easy-to-talk attitude.

The family picked up the dishes and started eating. By this time, the food on the table had already cooled down in the late autumn environment.

But everyone didn't stop using their chopsticks and ate their meals with different thoughts.

Suddenly the eldest sister put down her chopsticks, raised her head and looked directly at Li Xiang.

There were tears in her eyes, but she held back the tears and said to him:
"Brother, I will be your sister in the next life."

　Some readers who like fast-paced novels are dissatisfied with the protagonist's growth rate.

　　I can also understand that if there is something unsatisfactory in life, naturally I want to see something cheerful to change my mood.

　　Anyone who wants to read your book will also have characters who are suffering, and they want a protagonist who can do whatever they want and do whatever they want.

　　I also agree with this. When a character grows to a certain level, he will definitely be able to achieve such an achievement.

　　But this requires a process. I also really want to write that the protagonist will immediately become smarter and invincible if he has a golden finger.

　　But my logic doesn't allow it. You are obviously an ordinary person, and it always takes time to transform into a strong person.

　　I want to cut open the transformation process that others have described in one stroke and show it to you.

　　Why does this character think this way, why does he do this, and everything that happens has a context.

　　Everyone has good and evil sides, and they have all kinds of calculations in their hearts, some for themselves and some for others.

　　If you want to explain these clearly, the pace will slow down.

　　Therefore, this article is not the dish that readers who like quick and refreshing articles will like.

　　Of course I also support you in leaving your own opinions. It is best to leave more comments on the plot content so that we can discuss and communicate with each other.

　　I read every comment you make and take your interesting points to heart.

　　Comparing to you.
