Chapter 8 Separation
Li Zaoer was hugged by Li Fu and kept sobbing. He heard his second brother responding heavily: "Yes". He felt sad again. In the sadness, he felt a little envious. If he was also a boy, life would be hard, at least his destiny could be mastered.
Zhou listened with tears in his eyes. When he heard his father-in-law say "I'll send it tomorrow", he was shocked and said, "Dad, tomorrow? This is too fast, don't be so anxious."
"You all know about Manager Qian. Although he is not a Buddha's heart, he is considered to be a normal person. Mixing is the only family in this town. He is still young and has no children at all. Now he is moved to take in an apprentice. Who among all the people in the country is here to drive?" Li Ji snorted, patted Li Fu's thin shoulders and said, "Everything should not be too late, and something will happen if it is too late."
Zhou did not dare to say anything anymore, and immediately followed his father-in-law's words and was busy packing his second brother's luggage and ordering some gifts for the shopkeeper.
This was the most chaotic night after Li Zaoer was reborn.
Even she herself didn't understand why she had to separate for just one year, and she didn't understand that she felt reluctant to let go in just one year. Therefore, she was sleepless and pestered Li Fu.
Li Fu had no choice but to persuade her. Li Ji felt sorry for her to go to bed late, so she came to scare her, and she pretended not to understand. The old man was both pity and angry, and he raised his palm but didn't knock it down. Finally, he sighed and said, "Little girl movie." He touched her head again and said, "It's a good girl!" After that, he went back to his house and "bang" closed the door.
Li Fu hugged his sister and saw her looking at her with her black and white eyes open. Although she was a little smiling, why did this year-old child seem to know the taste of parting, but she was very moved by her attachment. She couldn't help but turn red and secretly decided that if she had a career in her life, she would not be wronged by this girl.
After doing this for half a night, everything was ready, Zhou took Li Fu's hand and said half a night. Li Ping'an squatted at the door, as if looking at the moon in the sky. The brothers were not asleep, and silently gathered around. The two older ones understood that they would get together in the future. Sier and Wuer were still young, and they didn't know what separation was, but they were infected with the atmosphere at home and dared not speak. They just stared at the second brother in a daze.
It was finally dawn that Li Fufang wiped his tears for Zhou and said with a forced smile: "Mom, I said that the farming season is busy and I will come back during the holidays. I am in the same town again, why bother like this?"
Zhou felt sad, and stroked Li Fu's head to his shoulder, and said, "Even if you meet each other every day, you will not treat it as a child if you become someone else's apprentice. You can't take it as a child if you want to love you."
"Okay!" Li Ping'an, who had been squatting at the door for a night, suddenly said fiercely: "Tell me! I have been talking all night and I haven't even prepared breakfast. Should my son be hungry before leaving?"
Zhou suddenly realized, wiped his face and wanted to cook, but saw Xiangfeng bringing out the pot and bowl and whispering: "I saw that my parents and brothers were busy... so I went to cook, but I didn't know if it suited my appetite."
Zhou was stunned. Seeing that Xiangfeng didn't understand the situation at home, she prepared her usual dishes. She hurriedly said, "It's a pity that you are careful, so I'll serve them for them quickly." As she said that, she went to the dark grid to pick up two eggs, cooked them and stuffed them into Li Fu's bag.
After eating silently, no one mentioned the matter of the field. Li Fu insisted on not letting anyone give it away. He carried his luggage and apologized to Xiangfeng: "Although I don't have this gift, I will allow me to call you sister-in-law in advance. As soon as my sister-in-law came, my second brother left, so I had to call you sister-in-law with a thick face. There are so many people in the family, and my mother is not busy alone. Please ask my sister-in-law to help you." As he said that, he looked down at Li Zaoer in his arms, smiled helplessly, and said, "There is also a worrying girl. When he is naughty, sister-in-law will take care of her more."
Xiangfeng was embarrassed to say something, so she nodded heavily.
Li Zaoer endured the sleepiness, listened to Li Fuyong's still childish voice saying things that were completely inconsistent with his age, grabbed his clothes and shouted crisply: "Second Brother." Then he spread his palms, and there were two plump jujube pits inside.
The date pit was the two dates that the fourth and fifth brothers had placed in her hands when she first came. It took her a lot of effort to hide it in the kang mat and stay it. At this time, she took it out and gave it to Li Fu.
Li Fu moved the corner of his mouth, put the date pit close to his body, handed the date to Xiangfeng and hugged it, knelt down and kowtowed to the elders a few times, then walked back a few steps, and then ran away, and soon disappeared.
Zhou stood beside Li Ping'an and saw two young men thinking that their second brother was going out to play and wanted to chase him out. She grabbed him with one hand. After a while, she kicked his man hard and said, "I can't go down the field."
Li Ping'an agreed, turned around and scolded his eldest son, saying, "When is it time? I'm still standing here and trying to be lazy!"
Li Shou wiped his face, lifted the dealer's hand, and shouted: "I'm going to the field!"
Li Zaoer looked at her parents and brothers, and suddenly remembered a sentence from Nietzsche, who had seen the madman in her previous life: The suffering person has no pessimistic power. Thinking of her second brother's thin back, she seemed to be able to see that in the near future, these brothers would go out from here one by one. She couldn't help but shudder and shed a few tears. But she finally couldn't stand it and fell asleep in Xiangfeng's arms.
It was a month in the blink of an eye, and the family seemed as quiet as before.
After talking about Li Fu's return often, he didn't even see him this month. His family never had money to buy rice, and he didn't even take the opportunity to buy rice. He only occasionally heard the news from the word of mouth of the neighbors that the shopkeeper Qian was pretty good to Li Fu.
Zhou talked and laughed as usual, and Li Ping'an still smiled silly. However, he was busy inside and outside, and sometimes even Li Ji would help him. The eldest brother Li Shou also saw the darkness and thinness of the blackness, thinness and strength. In addition to going to the fields, he would pick up the dealer's hand gestures, and always polished them brightly, and his ruthlessness seemed to be about to kill people.
Li Kang has already gone to a private school and comes back every day to teach a few brothers to recognize words.
Li Zaoer sneaked over to listen at first, but no one said anything after being discovered. Li Kang was even more afraid that she would get hurt by climbing around, so he simply carried her to her side when she was practicing calligraphy, and used a brush to imitate a brush for her to play with with the wheat pole and pig hair. Later, he saw that she was not always destroying things like ordinary children, and when she saw that she was interested, she felt at ease to use old books to play with, thinking that she was just a toy.
Xiangfeng knew that she had borrowed the blessing of Li Zaoer to get to this family. Zaoer was born cute and sensible, and she was really loved by her own sister and cared about her every detail. She was gentle by nature and diligent. When she came to this family, she really became a good helper for Zhou. She was busy inside and out, and gradually became a small family.
