"Er Guo...! Er Guo...!"
Drowsily, Li Shiqiang opened his eyes.
He raised his head and saw that his fourth child was timidly leaning against the door frame, looking at the little flower lying in the room, not daring to come in.
He stood up and waved with a smile on his face: "Come in, I won't bite you."
"Really? Erguo..."
Li Shimei cautiously took two steps toward the house. Seeing that the dog didn't get up, she boldly came to the bed and asked excitedly: "Erguo, whose dog is this?"
Li Shiqiang turned his head and looked at the little flowers on the ground, and said with a smile: "They belong to our family."
"From our family?"
Xiao Xuemei looked excited and asked quickly with some anticipation: "Erguo, can I touch it?"
Li Shiqiang sat up, came to Xiaohua, touched the dog's head and said, "Don't bite or bark, do you understand? This is my sister."
Xiaohua licked her front paws and lay quietly on the ground.
After eating at noon, Li Shiqiang went back to the house to sleep. No one at home paid attention to him, so he followed him into the house and lay beside the bed.
"Come here."
Listening to her second brother's words, Xiao Xuemei carefully squatted next to her brother.
Li Shiqiang continued to stroke the dog's head while holding her hand and slowly approaching.
The dog that had been following him home was indeed very understanding of human nature. He quietly enjoyed Xuemei's caress without any hint of irritability.
"Hehe, Erguo, it feels so comfortable to touch."
Li Shiqiang smiled and said: "It's called Xiaohua, you can just call it Xiaohua from now on."
"Little flower?"
Xiao Xuemei looked at it carefully from beginning to end: "Erguo, isn't it yellow? Why is it called a little flower?"
Xiaohua is the name of Li Shiqiang’s first hunting dog in his previous life.
"You can take whatever you want. Have you come back to eat Ding Ding candies?"
"Ding Ding Candy!?"
Xiao Xuemei's eyes shone, and she hurriedly raised her head and asked, "Erguo, did you buy Ding Ding candy?"
Children always have an unusual love for sugar.
Li Shiqiang took her to the main room and found that the Ding Ding candy he bought today was missing.
Most likely, Chen Xianglan was afraid that when the baby came back, she would finish it all at once.
He walked around the house, came to the kitchen and asked, "Mom, where are the Ding Ding candies I bought today?"
Chen Xianglan rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "It's time to have dinner, what kind of candy should we eat? Let's wait until the meal is over."
"Fine."
Before dinner, Xiao Xuemei had been thinking about Ding Ding Candy.
In order to eat sweets as soon as possible, after taking a few bites of food, she looked at Chen Xianglan eagerly.
After looking at it for a long time, Chen Xianglan finally put down her bowls and chopsticks, stood up helplessly and took out the Ding Ding candy from the back room.
As soon as the Ding Ding candy came out, the eyes of the youngest and the youngest were instantly attracted, and they both put down their chopsticks.
"Here! Take it and eat it."
The three little guys quickly got off the table to eat sweets.
After the little ones left, there were not many people left at the dinner table.
"Er baby, I have discussed with you, old man, and we will find someone to go to Huang's house tomorrow to arrange marriage."
A huge sum of two hundred yuan suddenly appeared in the family, which immediately relaxed the nervous family.
The first thing that Chen Xianglan thought of was to quickly decide on the second child's marriage.
"tomorrow?"
After Li Shiqiang asked casually, he nodded hurriedly: "Okay, just tomorrow."
Just in case, it's better to marry Huang Yun home as soon as possible.
He thought for a while, then turned to look at Li Nongchang and said, "Old man, how much does it cost to build five blue-tiled houses?"
"Five blue-tiled houses?"
Li Nongchang was stunned and said: "Who can build a blue-tiled house that is so expensive?"
After all, he still counted with his fingers and said: "One room is almost four to five hundred yuan, and five rooms are two thousand yuan?"
"Two thousand dollars?"
Li Shiqiang nodded and said no more.
There are eight people in the family, crowded into three adobe houses.
The eldest sister and her eldest brother-in-law shared a room, he and the youngest slept together, and the third and fourth children slept with the old man and mother.
If he marries Huang Yun, there will be nine people in the family.
Also bring a dog.
He glanced at the little flowers under the table and began to figure out how to make enough two thousand yuan.
It is necessary to build a house, otherwise there will not be enough room at home.
He also wanted to have better living conditions for his family so that Huang Yun's parents could feel free to let her get married.
Li Nongchang looked at Li Shiqiang's silent look and suddenly said, "What's wrong? Do you want to build a house?"
Li Shiqiang was just about to start when his eldest sister Li Shiying, who was sitting opposite, suddenly said: "Mom, I plan to move to Diaoya in the future."
Diaoya is the home of the eldest brother-in-law Tong Shunqiang. It is on the edge of a cliff deep in the mountains. Not only is it sparsely populated, but there is not even a few pieces of land.
The reason why the Li family asked Tong Shunqiang to be their son-in-law was because they did not want their daughter to marry and live in the wild mountains.
To get from Qingxia Mountain to Diaoya, they have to climb at least six mountains and cross two single-plank bridges.
If you get up before dawn and set out, you can't walk home until it's completely dark at night.
The reason why the eldest sister Li Shiying said this was naturally because she thought that after her brother got married, there would be no place to live in the family.
"Ying Wazi! Why are you going back to Diaoya? The conditions there are so bad, you can't even have enough to eat. If you two have a baby, I'm afraid you won't even be able to feed the baby." After hearing that his daughter Chen Xianglan quickly put down her chopsticks and said that she was going to live in Diaoya.
At this time, Li Shiqiang immediately followed suit and said, "Sister, I don't want you to move! I'll just build a house."
After hearing Li Shiqiang's words, Li Nongchang also understood what was going on.
There is really not enough room for so many people in the house.
It's impossible to wait for Huang Yun to marry and sleep in the same room with the youngest.
He put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "It's time to build a house at home. We still have more than 200 yuan at home. When the team divides the money after the autumn harvest, we should still have 100 yuan."
When the time comes, we will be able to live in an adobe house. "
Chen Xianglan nodded solemnly and said nothing.
But Li Shiqiang on the side shook his head and said: "Old man, all that money is reserved for eating and buying things, you can't use it to build a house for me.
I will get married and have a wife myself, and I will make money for this house. "
"you..."
Li Nongchang had just stretched out his finger to point at his son, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt unable to speak.
His son earned two hundred yuan a day today, which was more than he earned in a year.
But after thinking about it, he still said: "Do you think you are so lucky? How can you pick up that Ebei again?"
Li Shiqiang raised his eyes and retorted: "If I can't find Hubei, I will pick up other things. If it doesn't work, I will find a bear to kill and sell the bear's bile, and then I will have a house."
"Huh, just you!?"
Li Nongchang put down his wine glass and looked at him disdainfully: "If you encounter a bear alone in the mountains, you will probably become a 'bear'."
Li Shiqiang said stubbornly: "Who said it was a person? I still have Xiaohua!"
"Isn't that right, Xiaohua?"
Xiaohua, who was concentrating on chewing bones under the table, quickly raised the dog's head: "Woof, woof, woof!"
