Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 280 The thief's heart is immortal
"Of course it's... Hey, sister, what question did you just ask? Did I hear you right?" Xiaonian was half a beat behind before he realized it, and immediately looked at Han Duyue with wide eyes.

Han Duyue took Xiaonian's hand, and said earnestly: "Xiaonian, didn't you see it? Think about it carefully, is Uncle Li always nice to his mother? Does he still take the initiative occasionally on weekdays? Help mother with some simple chores? And have you noticed that when Uncle Li and mother are together, he will appear more approachable. So I think Uncle Li likes mother, what do you think?"

Xiaonian frowned, and thought about the situation Han Duyue listed, but couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while. Could it be that... Uncle Li really likes his mother?

Han Duyue carefully looked at Xiaonian's expression, and saw that although he was very surprised and shocked, and still a little bit puzzled, he did not show any disgust or resentment, so he had a preliminary answer in his heart.

"Xiao Nian, this matter is also my own guess. I think if Uncle Li really likes mother and is willing to accept us, then they are fine together. What do you think?" Han Duyue asked step by step .

For a while, Xiaonian couldn't figure out what the so-called "together" meant, because Li Hao basically ate three meals a day at Han's house in the past year, and Li Hao would come to Han's house when he was free. The Han family sits and sits, so isn't Uncle Li already with them now?
Then if Uncle Li and Mother were together, would it be different from now?

Seeing Xiaonian's doubts, Han Duyue smiled and said: "Actually, even if Uncle Li and Mother are together, our life will not change much, just like now, but Uncle Li may be with us at that time." live together."

Although Li Hao came to Han's house every day, he never stayed overnight at Han's house.

"So it's like this. As long as Mom is willing, I'm willing to let Uncle Li and Mom be together." Xiaonian liked Li Hao very much, so apart from the initial surprise, Xiaonian didn't have the slightest objection in his heart. Emotions, but of course it's up to my mother to make a decision.

If Mother doesn't like Uncle Li, then he can't force Mother to be with him.

Han Duyue was very satisfied with Xiaonian's answer, and finally said: "Xiaonian, mother doesn't know about this, so please don't mention it in front of mother."

"Why? Shouldn't we discuss it with Mother first?" Xiaonian blinked.

Han Duyue smiled slyly: "I really need to discuss this matter with my mother, but we shouldn't speak up. The main thing is to see how Uncle Li decides, so we just watch from the sidelines, understand?"

Xiao Nian nodded with a vague understanding, and didn't ask any more questions, but he was already silently looking forward to the days after Li Hao lived with them.

Because of Li Hao and Xiaonian's return, the Japanese and Han family was extraordinarily lively. In the evening, Han Duyue cooked and prepared a sumptuous meal, and the whole family ate their stomachs full.

After eating a full meal, Xiao Nian hiccupped and said with emotion: "Although it's nice outside, it's still comfortable to stay at home."

The appearance of this little adult made everyone laugh, Li Hao was also laughing, and deliberately looked at Han Qingmei and echoed: "Yes, it feels better to be at home."

It's just that I don't know if Han Qingmei has correctly understood this obvious hint.

Song Ning stayed at Han's house that night, and Song Ning left after breakfast the next morning. He and Han Duyue agreed to go back to Fucheng, and he would not be able to return until a few days before the Chinese New Year.

After seeing off Song Ning, Han Duyue was dragged by Xiaonian to those big boxes full of gifts to admire for a long time, and then listened to Xiaonian talk about the interesting things he met outside for a long time, and the next few days went like this Slowly slipping away in warmth and satisfaction.

On the other side of the Jiang family, the situation is not so good.

In fact, the life of the Jiang family was not difficult in the past, especially people like Jiang Lunzhong. Although the food was not very delicate, it could at least fill their stomachs. However, this situation was changed after Sun Yingying sent people to loot. .

Although the money in the family has not been completely searched away, there is not much left. The Jiang family has four households, and the total number of people in a large family is quite large. Every mouth has to eat, and it takes a lot of money. A lot of food.

If the Jiang family had planted corn with them before, then life would not be so tight now, but...

As a result, the living standard of the Jiang family has dropped by more than one level during this period. Although the family has land, it can barely fill the stomach, but it is only enough to fill the stomach. The meat dishes that can be eaten every few days in the past are now completely No more, and the original Zamian steamed buns have been replaced with pure rough noodles.

"Mom, it's Chinese New Year soon, why don't we slaughter a chicken tomorrow?" Looking at the clear soup and white water meal in front of her, Lian Nizi glanced at the hen that was cooing in the yard.

Mrs. Zhao glared at Lian Nizi: "Shut up, you don't dare to do any work at home, and you dare to say such a thing? This chicken is reserved for laying eggs, so don't make plans for it!"

Lian Nizi stopped talking, but she couldn't take her eyes back.

"Xiao Wan, after dinner, you can go to the mountain to collect some firewood and come back, the firewood at home is almost used up." After training Lian Nizi, Mrs. Zhao shifted her displeased eyes to Jiang Duwan again.

Jiang Duwan, who was already used to eating in a muffled voice at the dinner table, lowered her presence when she heard the words "um", without even raising her head.

Who knew that this kind of behavior would still anger Zhao Shi, she directly said angrily: "I think you've eaten enough, now go gather firewood."

Jiang Duwan glanced at half a bowl of miscellaneous noodles left, even if she was reluctant in her heart, she could only silently put down the bowl and stood up, now she finally knew that it was Han Qingmei and the others who were kicked out after eating half of their meal What a feeling.

"Then I'll go out first." Jiang Duwan walked out expressionlessly. When she reached the door of the kitchen, she turned her head and saw that Jiang Duwen had snatched away the half bowl of rice she had just left. Jiang Duwu couldn't help mumbling because he was a step too late and missed it.

Looking at the faces of these people, Jiang Duwan opened the corner of her mouth and smiled, this is her so-called family.

On the mountain, Jiang Duwan first picked up a small pile of dead wood as quickly as possible, put it into the box, then found a tree and sat down, and took out from her arms half a Zamian steamed bun that she secretly hid in the morning , took a small bite.

Eating and eating, Jiang Duwan felt her face turned cold, and when she reached out her hand to touch it, it turned out to be full of tears. She stretched out her hand and sat in a daze for a while, and then she couldn't help sobbing softly.

She can't go on living like this anymore, really can't go on anymore, there are countless jobs to do every day, but she has never had enough to eat, and those family members who once loved her and loved her, Now all of them are showing ugly faces that make her feel disgusted and unfamiliar...

Such days are too tormenting, she must get rid of the current life!
Jiang Duwan reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. The expression on her face was distorted with determination and hatred. She silently stuffed the remaining mouthfuls of steamed buns that had already been stained with tears into her mouth, and started Continue to collect firewood.

It's just that this time she didn't put the firewood in the box again, but hid it in a relatively hidden place and covered it with stones.

When the firewood in the box was full, Jiang Duwan picked up the box and went back to Jiang’s house. Before dawn the next day, Jiang Duwan got up and made everyone’s breakfast first, and put it in the pot to warm it up. Then he picked up the empty frame and went out.

It's just that she didn't go to collect firewood, but caught up with the ox cart going to the town. Several people in the cart were surprised to see Jiang Duwan, because Jiang Duwan hadn't gone out for a long time.

Jiang Duwan lowered her head and sat quietly in a corner of the bullock cart without saying much.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaowan? Why is Xiaowan willing to go out now?" The person who mocked Jiang Duwan was Li Cuihua. Li Cuihua's relationship with the Jiang family was not bad in the past. The main reason is that she ignored the Han family. The reasons for this were all assigned to the Jiang family, so now she naturally has no good looks towards the Jiang family.

Jiang Duwan pursed her lips, didn't even lift her head, her whole body seemed lifeless.

Seeing this, Li Cuihua only spat, and stopped talking. When they got to the town, everyone dispersed, and Jiang Duwan also got out of the car.

She waited for everyone to leave, then rubbed her hands and walked in one direction. After about a stick of incense, Jiang Duwan stopped in front of a wooden door, which was located in a deep alley. It should be the back door of some family.

Jiang Duwan looked left and right, knocked on the wooden door carefully, and after a while, the wooden door was pulled open: "Who is it?"

"Brother Yan, I want to see the young master, please open the door for me." Jiang Duwan said in a soft voice, while talking, she took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and passed it through the gap .

In the past, when Jiang Duwan and Li Kairui were getting along well, because they couldn't walk through the front door openly, they would occasionally go in here to have a private meeting with Li Kairui, and only then did they meet Xiao Yan who was guarding the back door.

The man called Little Yan recognized Jiang Duwan, and opened the door a little wider. He weighed the broken silver in his hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Miss Jiang is too stingy, she only gives it once in a while." Such a little silver."

Jiang Duwan clenched her fists tightly, with a smile on her face, this little money was all she had managed to keep, and the other party dared to dislike it: "Brother Yan, you are joking, please help me to tell the young master , just say that I have something urgent to see him."

"Yo, Miss Jiang, you don't know, the young master has been grounded by the master during this time, even if you want to find him, he may not be able to come to see you." Xiao Yan looked at Jiang Duwan contemptuously.
