The happiness of rebirth is knocking on the door

Chapter 18

When Li Xiaohong came home, he saw that his father was at home.

"Dad, you're back!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhijun looked at his daughter with great pride in his heart.This is my daughter, she is sensible and smart, there are so many elementary school students in the county, how many can compare with my daughter.

"Today is not Sunday, how come you have time to come back?" Li Xiaohong was a little curious.

"I didn't come back specially after hearing the good news about our Honghong."

It turned out that as soon as the results of the competition in the county came out, a friend in the village where Li Zhijun worked knew that his daughter had passed the test and immediately told him.

Then, the more Li Zhijun stayed at the unit, the more excited he became. Anyway, the harvest season was over and he was not too busy now, so he couldn't help but ride his bicycle back.Along the way, Li Zhijun felt that he couldn't run out of energy, and he rode very fast. It usually took more than an hour, but this time he arrived home in less than an hour.

Of course, he wasn't going to tell his daughter about this. Instead, after boasting, he said with a serious face: "This time the grades are good, but don't be proud, and we will continue to work hard in the future." Then he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Seeing her father's appearance, Li Xiaohong secretly laughed in her heart, her father was so interesting, she had already gone home early, and she pretended to be serious for who to see.

In her previous life, Li Xiaohong didn't remember anything about being younger.Maybe there is a filter in the human mind, those happy days seem to pass in the blink of an eye, leaving no deep memory, but those painful things are often engraved in the heart, torturing the nerves all the time.

I just remember that since I adopted my elder brother when I was over seven years old, my elder brother was seven years older than me, and after going to school for another year, I was not willing to bother to leave school and go home.At home, if there is something delicious, I give it to my brother first. When I am working, my mother can't cry for a long time, but I, who is much younger, do it.Just like that, my brother always had a dark face, as if his family owed him a lot.

I feel sorry for my mother, and I can't help arguing with him when I see such a brother, but in the end, my mother always criticizes myself first, so that I don't want to be angry with my brother.

At that time, I was young and ignorant. I always felt that my mother didn't love me, and my father didn't like to go home. Even if I went home, I didn't know what to say to him.Later, they built a house for their elder brother. After marrying his wife, they had a child, but after the mother worked hard to bring the child to more than two years old, they never let the mother look after the child.

Later, the relationship between the two families was severed, and they even found someone to make a written statement that they would not support their parents and not bury them.

One of the things that impressed me the most was that when the family first separated, the mother looked at their child with delicious eyes, but the child cried and called "Grandma" but was taken away by them with no expression on his face.

Not long after that, my elder brother's brother-in-law opened a waste collection station in the county seat, and because he owed money from gambling, he transferred the collection station to his elder brother, and the family moved to the city.

At that time, my mother missed her grandson and tossed and turned at night for a long time, unable to sleep.When angry, my mother always shed tears when she was so angry. After a long time, her eyes became troubled.

Low-pressure family life, heavy physical labor after school, and the study life in the whole village where no one has ever been admitted to a university are all intertwined, making people see no hope. In the end, the more and more introverted self feels that the whole life is boring. Feeling hopeless, I had the idea of ​​committing suicide many times.

In fact, there is no doubt that parents love themselves, but they are not good at expressing themselves. Like traditional Chinese parents, they are more inclined to express themselves with actions, and parents who have not received much education do not have enough sensitive nerves. , You can go to discover the fragile soul of your daughter in your spare time.

But in this life, everything has not started yet, and the source of the pain has not yet come.Li Xiaohong thought, no matter what, she had to be more careful, not to let that person come to her house again, and to slowly change her life.

Li Xiaohong was playing with her younger sister, and asked her father and mother to talk in the house.

Dad thought he hadn't seen it, so he secretly kissed his mother. The mother looked shy, but gave Dad an elbow neatly, then turned her head to look in the direction of the two sisters, probably because she thought Dad was too shy people.

Li Xiaohong pretended not to know anything, led her younger sister away from her parents, and then took her younger sister out of the yard on the pretext of going out to play.Mom and Dad haven't seen each other for nearly a month. Let's give them some chances to be alone.

In the evening, my younger sister was so excited to play during the day that she went to bed early, and Li Xiaohong also turned off the lights early, trying to make herself fall asleep.

Parents are in a good relationship, they are in good health, and they haven't seen each other for a while, so it's inevitable that they will do some physical exercise at night, so it's better to go to bed early.

The current house at home is the same as most other houses in the village.The whole is one big room, which is divided into three rooms with cloth curtains.The middle room is the main room, which is used as a living room and dining room. My parents occupy the east one, and she and my sister occupy the west one.

Rural houses are all built in this way. The key is that the sound insulation is so poor that even a cough can be heard clearly in the whole house.Only those who marry a daughter-in-law will build a wall and install a door in the separate room.

No, in a daze, Li Xiaohong knew that her mother had come to the house to have a look, and pulled the covered sheets for them, and then tiptoed away.However, next, it's not what she imagined that made her move awkwardly.

"Hong and the others fell asleep?"

"Well, I was excited to see you back during the day. The two of us didn't sleep at noon, so we must have been sleepy."

"My sister-in-law always said that she would adopt a child for us. There are three boys in her family. Except for the eldest, we can choose. What do you think?" This is the mother's soft voice.

Hearing this, Li Xiaohong suddenly woke up, it was almost time for her parents to think about this issue.She slowed her breathing, trying to hear clearly.

"I think it's better to adopt a child you don't know?" This is the calm father's voice.

"I don't know how to raise a child I don't know. How can I have my own relatives. My sister-in-law has come to talk to me a few times, and I also think Jiawang is good."

No wonder my parents adopted Jiawang from my uncle's family in the previous life, so there was another reason for this.

"Your sister-in-law, hey, his children don't know what to do. Besides, they are all relatives. If there is a conflict, it will be a problem."

"Isn't my sister-in-law always very kind? Listening to Hong said that her uncle's family has always been very kind to her when she eats at her house."

Could it be that I have been speaking for Dajin's family all the time? I really don't remember these long-ago events.

"But look at her behavior to our mother, she just said it nicely."

Mother hesitated, "It's also because his family is poor. He gave birth to three boys in a row, and the eldest and second child are going to have to make a fuss about marrying a wife. There is only one house in his family."

"Who is rich at this time, no matter how poor you are, you must be an old man!" Dad said a little loudly.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't wake up the child." Mom said softly, "It's okay to talk about a few more children. That's my nephew, and he always kisses me. Especially the third child, who is still talking Sweet, every time I see him, I am extremely rare."

The third child was adopted in the previous life, and the original reason is that he can talk and coax others, otherwise, her mother would not love him the most in his family, and the purchase station of his sister's house was later given to him among their brothers.Then he was afraid that his family would take advantage of them, so he fell out directly.

"Why do you think you have to adopt a boy? Look at our two daughters, they are both so smart, and they will definitely be good in the future."

"No matter how smart a girl is, she will marry in the future. How can she always help her mother's family? Besides, every time I see Li Li, I always say that our family is bankrupt, and many people in the village talk about it behind my back. People say that in front of me, and I always feel uncomfortable.”

Dad seemed a little embarrassed, "Hey, either you know she's a person or she's not upright."

Then Dad suddenly took a breath, "You twist it lightly, you want to murder your husband."

"It's all caused by you. Anyway, you will stay away from her when you see her in the future. Don't give her a good face."

"It's impossible for the two of us, she was just thinking about it. You don't know, when did I give her a smile after we got married? But now we are all in the same village, and we can't see each other when we look up. , It's not good to have a falling out. I'm afraid it will be bad for you if you stay at home alone with your child. "

"Then what do you think we should do? Are we going to make it through?"

"Let's take it easy. The two children seem to be able to study, and they are hardworking and sensible. They will definitely be admitted to college. If they go to college, it will cost a lot of money. I don't know if they will blame us or not if they are adopted. Or let's take a look? You are still young, and it's not like you can't have a baby. Let's see if the next child is a boy or a girl, maybe it will be a boy."

When Li Xiaohong heard what her parents said, her heart was filled with joy, like a bean that had been full of water, bulging with joy, trying to sprout.

This is my parents, no matter how mediocre I was in my previous life, I don’t have much hope of going to college. What my parents are thinking about is to let me study, and if I fail to pass the exam in a year, I will retake the exam to prepare for myself. I hope I can have a better life.

In this life, the good grades gave them greater hope and made them more motivated.But fortunately, because it gave parents more hope, even the adoption at this time in the previous life was postponed, and, according to what my father said, he was not very happy to adopt his uncle's cousin. One shot, and this matter probably won't become a reality.

"I'm bored to death, and I blame me for not being able to give you a son. No matter how good our life is, we can't stop people's ridicule."

"The city is now very strict. If someone finds out that they have a second child, some will be dismissed from their jobs. It's better in our village, but we must be careful. I was fined when I was on the road. I don't want to work hard. Not anymore."

"Come on, let's work hard." Then, there was a rustle, accompanied by the creaking sound of the wooden bed.Li Xiaohong was also young, she let go of her worries, and quickly fell asleep in the accompaniment of this voice.
