Chapter 41: Holding up a sky for you
"Second sister-in-law, have you eaten?"
Li Le's sharp eyes saw Cheng Qiao coming, and quickly jumped up and pulled Cheng Qiao under the shade of the tree. Cheng Qiao also quickly opened the lunch box to reveal the four sticky bean bags inside.
"Sticky bean buns, second sister-in-law, now it's not new year or new year, how can you make sticky bean buns?"
"If you want to eat, just make it. There are so many things to pay attention to."
Cheng Qiao smiled and took out the sticky bean bag, giving one to Li's mother and the other to Li Le.
"Daughter, why don't you eat it yourself?"
Seeing that Cheng Qiao was not moving, Li's mother quickly handed the sticky bean bag in her hand to Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao shook her head: "Aunt, I have eaten it. These four are for you. There are four in the bag. I'll give it to Li Huan."
Li's mother was happy when she heard this and told Cheng Qiao that Li Huan had cleaned the house at home early in the morning. She also said that she would ask someone to dig a wheel well in the yard, so that it would be much more convenient to use water in the future.
Cheng Qiao nodded, ran to Li Huan's residence. According to the rules of Xiangyang Village, unmarried couples should not meet before getting married, but Cheng Qiao is an educated youth and she does not understand the rules of Xiangyang Village.
Li Huan's home is near the foot of the back mountain. This location has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is convenient to enter the mountain. Sometimes, you can secretly hide some prey and eat it by yourself, or go to the county town to sell it and pay back the money.
The disadvantage is danger, especially in winter, when the mountains are covered with heavy snow, it is difficult to find food. Wild boars and other animals sometimes go down the mountain to steal the villagers' food, and even children are taken away by wild animals.
As the first person in Li Huan's house at the foot of the mountain, he was rushed in by wild boars or even wild wolves. Fortunately, Li Huan's house had a homemade earth gun. After killing wild boars and wolves several times, the beasts would also avoid this house.
Cheng Qiao stood at the door and looked at the familiar yard door. The scene of Xu Laidi bringing people to smash the door after Li Huan and his child died in the previous life.
At that time, Li's mother and Li Le blocked the back of the yard door with their bodies, and were not allowed to walk out of the room. Why didn't I cherish such a good mother-in-law and sister-in-law at that time?
After adjusting his excitement, he quickly walked in. Li Huan suddenly appeared, holding a dirt gun in his hand. Seeing that it was Cheng Qiao, his nervous expression immediately relaxed.
"Cheng Qiao, why are you here?"
"I'll bring you lunch."
"It's better for my wife, I'm hungry."
"What are you talking about? Who is your wife?"
Cheng Qiao blushed, lowered her head and took out the lunch box from the cloth bag. One lunch box was filled with dumplings and one lunch box contained four sticky bean bags.
Li Huan immediately picked up a sticky bean bag and ate it in his mouth. The warm and sweet fragrance made Li Huan squint his eyes. He looked at Cheng Qiao's eyes with a look of surprise flashing.
"Qiaoqiao, can I call you like this?"
"You...you can do whatever you want."
"We will get married in half a month. Should we notify your parents?"
"My mom was gone when I was twelve years old, and my dad had called to notify me."
"Oh, Qiaoqiao is so young and has no mother. Then how can your father treat you well? And will your father come to our wedding?"
"It shouldn't be true. The train from Huizhou can only reach Chuncheng. If you come here from Chuncheng, it will take at least five or six days to go back and forth. My father is busy with work and shouldn't have so much time."
Seeing that Cheng Qiao's eyes were obviously dimming, Li Huan had guessed the reason in his heart. It was simply that the father found another wife, and later his wife gave birth to a younger brother or sister for Cheng Qiao. From then on, Cheng Qiao's parents died.
"Qiaoqiao, this is your home. I am your man. I will support you. If we have children in the future, I will find a way to move our home to the county town and let him study hard."
Li Huan held Cheng Qiao's hands and held them tightly, as if this was the only way to pass on his own heat to Cheng Qiao and warm Cheng Qiao's wounded heart.
Cheng Qiao's hand moved. Li Huan was too strong, making her hands hurt. Li Huan quickly relaxed her hand. Seeing a circle of red on Cheng Qiao's wrist, she quickly stroked it lightly a few times.
"I'm so excited, do you feel pain?"
"Somewhat hurts."
Cheng Qiao's eyes became wet and thicker, but it was not caused by pain, but moved in her heart.
"What a pampering bag. My sister was arched by a wild boar last time and didn't even lose Jindoudou."
"Li Le was arched by a wild boar. When did it happen?"
"It's been two years ago. You haven't come to Xiangyang Village at that time. Fortunately, I was at home that day, otherwise my mother and Li Le would have been killed by a wild boar."
"It's okay, otherwise it's miserable."
"Yes, I have applied for land with the village chief. After the autumn harvest, I will build a house here, raise the walls high, and then dig a wheel well here."
"Is this here? What should I do if that old house?"
"The old house is also reinforced. My elder brother also has a place to live when he comes back. Qiaoqiao, believe me, I will let you and our children live a good life."
"Well, I believe you, but Li Huan, you must be careful of Xu Lai Di and you must not be alone with her."
Li Huan didn't understand why their topic suddenly turned to Xu Lai Di. Perhaps Cheng Qiao suffered a great loss in this Xu Lai Di, but she could not promote it to the outside world, so she reminded herself.
"Don't worry, I am a big man and I am still afraid of a woman."
"You must remember what I said. Brother Xu Lai is too bad. I'm afraid your life will be lost."
When Cheng Qiao saw that Li Huan took it seriously, she roared anxiously. Her nervous attitude made Li Huan frown. Her life was lost. Is this Xu Lai so powerful?
"I remember, Qiaoqiao, if I am here in the future, you don't have to be afraid of this brother Xu Lai anymore."
"Well, you should have dinner soon, I'll go back after eating."
"Don't leave first, look at our house. I'm going to re-placing a kang, and I'll change the doors and windows. A layer of bluestone slabs are laid on the ground, a cabinet and box are placed here, and a kang piano is placed here..."
Li Huan pulled Cheng Qiao into their new house in the future. Seeing the ground full of wood and mud, Cheng Qiao was inexplicably happy. This was the home for the two of them in the future.
"I have cloth, which can be used as curtains and bed sheets, and I have bought them too."
"Listen to you, I'm going to drill a wheel well in the yard. In the future, you have to shake the wheel directly with water."
Cheng Qiao imagined the scene of herself sitting by the well washing clothes and vegetables. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she seemed to see a child squatting opposite her, shouting "Mom" in her breasts.
"Wave~"
When Cheng Qiao was distracted, Li Huan was kissed: "Qiaoqiao, you are so beautiful."
"I'm leaving, you can work hard."
Cheng Qiao could no longer stay and left without even the lunch box. Li Huan hurriedly chased her out, worried that if a wild boar went down the mountain, he would scare Cheng Qiao.
