Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

They still discussed the matter with Li Ankang.

Li Ankang just nodded and said he would go see her.

After leaving the bookstore, Mao Xiaosui said, "If Ankang hadn't brought her back at the beginning, she would have gotten used to the old days. Now it would be very difficult to send her back."

And what worries her the most. The most important reason why they refused to accept Cuicui was that they were afraid that Cuicui would hurt someone with a knife. Although Cuicui was stupid, she should be able to feel it, otherwise she would not pretend to be a normal person. If she was sent back, would she not even dare to hold a knife? Already? Will he be bullied?

But if she stays, she can't be locked up all the time. If not, where should she be sent? There are many children in the orphanage and we cannot take this risk. It's impossible for them to keep it in their own home...

Absently returning home, Li Yunshan used a knife to cut the meat from the pork leg that he had put in the kitchen to defrost last night.

Their family has a lot to pack for the Chinese New Year, including steamed buns, dumplings, pancakes, fried food... it takes several days just to pack it up.

When Li Yunshan peeled off the meat and chopped it, Mao Xiaosui still couldn't think of a way, so he simply didn't think about it. Went to get a bunch of onions and peel them. The scallions are so solid that it freezes your hands when you peel them, but the taste is also strong.

Li Yunshan was chopping the meat with two knives in his hand. He glanced at Mao Xiaosui from time to time and said, "You boil the steamed millet noodles and bean flour steamed buns first, and I'll peel the green onions later."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, poured water into the pot, and dug out some noodles.

Steaming steamed buns was time-consuming, and even a basin of noodles was not finished steaming by noon.

Li Ankang came back from the bookstore, sat down on a stool, picked up the steamed buns, and started eating, even though he was a little distracted.

Li Yunshan washed his hands and sat down, asking him, "Have you visited Cuicui?"

Li Ankang nodded and asked, "Do we really want to send her back?"

Li Yunshan said, "What your mother said makes sense. She is a human being, and it is not appropriate for us to lock her up all day long. Do you have any good ideas for settling her?"

Li Ankang: "Actually, I don't think she is very stupid. She is very defensive towards others, but she has known her since I met you before, so she is not like that towards others."

"You are not a child anymore. Think of others when you do things." Mao Xiaosui sighed, "Don't think too much, just think about your future wife and whether she is willing to worry about such a burden."

"Also...what is going on between you and Gu Zi? Your father and I don't want to rush you to get married, but the others are not us. Mrs. Shen is old. She must have been thinking about such a relative since she was a child. You asked Gu Zi to get married as soon as possible. If you have that idea about that girl, bring it up as soon as possible. Do you think you have to wait for Gu Zi to talk to you? "

Li Ankang: "It will be the same if we mention it next year."

Mao Xiaosui: "Then you have to give people an accurate letter."

Li Yunshan also said, “You have to give people a sure idea.”

Li Ankang nodded to express that he understood.

—

Cuicui knew how to live on her own, and since she would be sent back after the new year, Li Ankang simply sent her some rice and noodles. In addition, I would visit him every morning and evening, but he was busier than any of them.

At noon, Qin An came to the house to deliver money and account books, while Mao Xiaosui and Li Yunshan were cooking.

Qin An didn't like this, so he took a small bamboo plate with steamed buns from the shelf and picked up some fried goods.

Li Yunshan washed his hands, told Mao Xiaosui and went to the front yard to eat with him.

They usually eat in the yard when the weather is warm. In winter, they eat in the kitchen or house. They rarely go to the front yard, and the stove in the front yard is not turned on.

Li Yunshan and Qin An lit the stove and placed the table next to the stove.

The wine was kept very cold in the room. Qin An seemed to take a good sip, so he poured a small cup and drank it in a sip.

Maybe it was because he was frozen, and it took him a long time to recover from his wrinkled face.

Li Yunshan's drinking ability has improved a little in recent years, but he is still incomparable to Qin An.

The ice wine hurt his health, so he put the wine on the stove to warm it and ate the fried food one bite at a time.

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen these days, and even if I didn't eat very much every day, I was full and had no appetite.

Qin An drank vigorously and drank three glasses in a row before he started eating.

Li Yunshan looked at him, "Why are you so greedy for alcohol and alcohol?"

Qin An replied, "No one drinks with me, and I haven't drank for a long time."

"You and the old lady..." Li Yunshan hesitated and changed his words, "The old lady is still angry?"

"No." Qin An denied, "I just don't know what to say. My scalp went numb when I heard her sigh."

Li Yunshan couldn't help but laughed, "Although I have said it many times, I still want to say that you were not familiar with each other before. The old lady treats you well, but she always doesn't care too much. She has been with her son for so many years. It seems that the old lady has been alone for most of her life. Even though she knows that she shouldn't force you, she still feels uneasy because she is afraid that you will be like her in the future, with no one around her who knows how to be warm and cold. "

"But..." He changed his words, "Some of what Xiao Sui said is right. You two are just destined to meet each other halfway. If it weren't for you, she might not be able to survive now in her life, and she would either freeze to death or starve to death. Be content and don't cause trouble to others. The old lady has a good heart. If it makes you feel embarrassed, you might try not to care so much. Of course, I still hope you are well, and I hope you can find someone who can People who spend the rest of their lives together, after all, it does feel good to have a family.”

Qin An sighed, "You've said it many times, it's so long-winded." He added, "I've really hated others taking care of me since I was a child, and I really don't have anyone who likes me. I have to find someone who is pleasing to me and can make me happy." I'm happy, I don't want to live a life of numbness like many people."

Li Yunshan laughed, and he had a deep understanding of this matter. Although he and Mao Xiaosui were not in love at first, and with Ding Wenxiu's troubles, life was not even smooth. Fortunately, it stumbled in the end. It has also come over, and it is getting better and better.

He later asked Mao Xiaosui if he complained about him.

Mao Xiaosui said, "People's hearts are all biased. Fortunately, although you are biased, you are not confused. Although you didn't protect me very well, you protected me and never took action. You didn't pick on me where you should feel sorry for me. Life Nothing is perfect. After being hesitant, you look like a real man, which is already good..."

He also thought that if he hadn't bought Mao Xiaosui at the beginning, he was even sure that his life would not be so comfortable and smooth.

For so long, the two of them have rarely had any differences. Everything is discussed and discussed. Mao Xiaosui protects his shortcomings, while he has been mute since he was a child. He doesn't say anything when he has grievances, and always pretends not to care with a cold face. After all, he was just used to being tolerant, but when Mao Xiaosui stood in front of him to protect him, his heart felt warmer than the fire in winter. He still remembers that feeling fresh.

"You have to find someone you like." He said with a smile.

Qin An shrugged, "The old lady said that life is just firewood, rice, oil and salt. If it's just firewood, rice, oil and salt, and noisy, I might as well not get married and live alone."

Li Yunshan smiled. Mao Xiaosui once said, everything depends on your heart. When you are not sure what result you want, convenience is the answer that you always subconsciously prefer.

And this is Qin An's choice.
