Chapter 57
"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Cuilian rolled her eyes: "You can say anything, and let people hear it, so you can't make do with your father? You are a bully!"

Gao Liman looked aggrieved: "That's what I said. You see, my father loves my sister-in-law a lot. When did he face me like this!"

"Isn't that because Kou Xi earned money for the family? Isn't she useful now! When there was no such thing, when did your father treat her so well? Before marriage, he was never generous. Now What is the reason for being generous?" Li Cuilian waved her hand: "Your father is a man who has no money and can't get up early, I don't know him yet. Didn't you hear that Kou Dewang gave him a son? The old Kou family also knows about him. I'm afraid I'll treat Kou Xi badly, so I lick it hard!"

Gao Liman pouted: "I still gave birth to a grandson to the old Huo family, I am also a great contributor." She said cautiously: "Is it because my natal family didn't send anything, and my dad told me just now? "

"Hmph, it's about me!" Zhang Yao said with resentment on her face, "it's either your own father or he can't do it. He's only been back for a few days, and he's starting to ask for money. Mom, then you should dump Huo Jiaojiao when she returns to her mother's house." Face. They are all married girls, who is worse than the other!"

Li Cuilian didn't answer, thinking that it's been a long time since you came back.I really didn't spend a penny, and I want to eat frozen pears when I open my mouth, who wants to!
But she didn't dare to say this in front of her daughter-in-law, so she could only persuade her daughter resentfully: "You are supercilious every day, and your heart is smaller than that of a needle nose. Isn't that too rushed? Who told you Talking about Kouxi? Kouxi still has something to share, and your dad is happy there, showing off. You should yell and yell to make him unhappy, and scolding you will be light! You should!"

Gao Liman breathed a sigh of relief, since her mother-in-law didn't mean that, she wasn't afraid anymore.But Zhang Yao didn't think so, she watched TV behind Li Cuilian's back.While wiping her tears, she discussed: "If there is a stepfather, there will be a stepmother. If my real father is still there, can I suffer this? I have been in the Huo family for so many years, and I have never regarded me as a human being. There is always One day, I must smile and watch all of you cry, wait for me!"

No one has the key to Kou Xi's house. This morning Kou Xi notified Huo Dagui to distribute the things at work in the afternoon and asked him to help him take it back by bicycle.I still have to sell firecrackers for a while, and there is only a little bit of couplets left, so I will try to sell them all today.

Huo Dagui took the key to Kou Xi's room, and carried the things she sent in one by one.By the way, let's take a look at this room that he hasn't been in for a long time. After all, his father-in-law can't just come in the room of his daughter-in-law who is alone at home.

He found that the room was different from what he remembered.In the past, he remembered that the white walls were scraped and some furniture was placed in the house.Looking at it now, the whole room is completely filled with Kou Xi's personal life atmosphere.

The last time Kou Dewang came over, he felt that Kouxi's room was not heated enough by relying on the kang, so he bought a boiler out of his own pocket.I built a small stove next to the clay stove and installed a radiator.A four-panel radiator was installed at the entrance of the corridor, and another four-panel radiator was installed under the window sill in the back room. It only needs a little wood or a small amount of coal to survive the winter warmly .

Coal is burned in Kouxi’s house. After the fine coal is mixed with water, it is pressed on top of the coal. The fire is small and the combustion is slow. In addition, the outdoor temperature is still higher during the day. Basically, the house will not feel cold.When Kou Xi returned home around 04:30, he lit the stove again, and the room temperature could reach about 24 degrees.

In the evening, Kouxi burned the kang while cooking, and there was a kettle on the stove.Kou Xi locked the door and drew the curtains, sat in the big laundry tub to take a bath, and didn't feel cold at all.

The stove burned until nine o'clock, and Kou Xi spread the coal noodles mixed with water on the coal blocks.It will go out at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it will not be cold inside the house relying on the remaining heat from the kang and the radiator.Even if Kouxi wakes up a little cold in the morning, the temperature inside the house will never reach below zero.

So Kou Xi simply raised plants in the house, and the greenery from the outside is very eye-catching.

On the right side of the entrance of the corridor is the radiator, on which a square mirror is fixed, and Kou Xi made a black cover to cover the radiator.Opposite on the left is Kouxi's Dowry Butterfly brand sewing machine. The same black cloth is used to make a cover on the sewing machine.On the wall above the sewing machine, there is a wooden hanger with Kouxi's red padded jacket hanging on it.At the end of the corridor, facing the door, is a cupboard the height of a person.The pot table next to it was polished shiny, although the stove was cold.But Huo Dagui always had an illusion that the kettle on the stove seemed to be still hot.

Next to the door of the back room, there are two pairs of cotton slippers, and a two-tiered shelf next to the sewing machine.On the shelf, Kou Xi's leather shoes were put on the shelf, polished clean.

Huo Dagui thought for a while at the door, considering whether he needed to change his shoes at the door before going in.After thinking about it, how could there be so many poor people in this rural area, so he slapped his head and walked into the back room.

Standing at the door, Huo Dagui subconsciously looked towards the kang. On the kang was a large mattress made of light yellow cotton cloth, which was just big enough to cover the entire surface of the kang.Kou Xi made a few more square cushions and placed them next to the wall in bright red.People can't help but want to take off their shoes and go to the kang, and sleep comfortably on it.

Looking at the camphor wood box that Huo An's biological mother brought as a dowry, Huo Dagui was also taken aback.That time when Huo Jiaojiao came back, she smashed Kou Xi's cosmetics into pieces.No one in the family dared to say anything, and Kou Xi invited a painter to the house after work.Moved out all the kang cabinets, camphor wood boxes, writing desks, and TV cabinets.Then it was all painted white and the smell lingered in the yard for a week.

But now on the white desk, there is a row of cosmetics neatly placed against the wall.

Opposite the camphor wood box, the original black and blue checkered sofa is covered with a sofa cover of the same color as the Kang.There are three red pillows on the sofa, and the pale yellow color softens the whole room.

Because of the white furniture, the whole room is indeed brighter than the inside of my own room.

Kou Xi's flower pots were placed on the window sill, and the flowers had already bloomed because of the warmth in the house.Under the window sill is an iron shelf that Kou Xi asked someone to build.A total of two floors have the same length as the window sill.Each floor has a long wooden trough.Put soil in it and grow vegetables.The bottom layer is planted with garlic seedlings, and the upper layer is planted with leeks.

The corners on both sides of the window sill are TV cabinets on one side, and washstands on the other.When the sun shines in, the slightly green plants are scattered on the ground.There is a unique fragrance of cream in the air.

Huo Dagui looked at this strange room, and sighed faintly: "A prodigal!"
