When song Dashan came back, the house was quiet. He put down his hoe and looked back and forth. He didn't see anyone. Finally, when he walked into the room, he saw a large group and a small group sleeping together.

Song Dashan looked at the two people holding each other in a daze. He felt a little touched. It seemed that for the first time, he felt what people often say about wife and child's hot Kang.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with marrying such a little daughter-in-law.

Without disturbing their sleep, song Dashan quietly left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the evening.

When Li Mo wakes up, he sees the villain in his arms looking at him with big black and white eyes, and he doesn't speak.

Li Mo smiles and gently prints a kiss on the little man's forehead, "Xiao Bao, wake up."

Xiaobao didn't expect to be kissed. He was shy and put out two hands to cover his face.

Li Mo is amused by his little reaction, kisses him again, and then holds him up, "Xiao Bao, it seems that it's getting late. We're going to get up and see if your father has come back."

Xiao Bao slowly put down his hand covering his face, nodded and got up. He picked up the little clothes on the head of the bed and put them on himself. He wore them in a pattern.

Li Mo found that the child was very sensible. At a young age, he could eat by himself and dress by himself. Was this the poor man's child who was in charge of the family early?

Li Mo dressed himself, took Xiao Bao out of bed, put on his shoes, and led him out.

Hearing the noise from the kitchen, Li Mo leads Xiao Bao to the kitchen door and sees song Dashan sitting behind the stove burning a fire.

"Dashan, are you back?"

Seeing them, song Dashan nodded, "wait a little longer, and the meal will be ready."

Li Mo is a little embarrassed for a moment. After a day's work, she has to cook. But she sleeps at home until now, just like rice insects. If she puts it in the village, she will be scolded. She can't do it in the future.

But seeing the stove burning, Li Mo remembered that she didn't seem to be able to burn such a stove. Even if she cooked, she didn't know if she could make it.

Li Mo thinks that the first thing she should do is to learn how to make a fire.

Before Li Mo could see how to make a fire, the dinner was ready, just as it was at noon, but it was thinner.

Li Mo didn't eat much at noon, and he was hungry for several meals. At this time, he felt very hungry. So when he ate, although he was still hard to swallow, Li Mo still tried to eat.

In the middle of the meal, someone came to the family.

Xiaobao first saw the people coming in the hall and called out: "grandma."

Li Mo and song Dashan just saw the person coming.

The visitor is an old woman, looking over 50 years old. She is thin, slightly bent back, rough and dark skin, gray hair for more than half, and her clothes are worn out. At first glance, she is a person who has worked hard for many years.

It turns out that this is song Dashan's mother and Xiao Bao's grandmother.

Seeing his mother, song Dashan quickly got up, welcomed his mother in and sat down at the table. "Mother, we're having dinner. I'll go and serve you a bowl."

Then he went to the kitchen.

Song's mother quickly grabbed her son, who was going to the kitchen, "don't go. I've just had it. You can eat it now."

"Mother, have you really eaten?"

Song's mother nodded, "I've really eaten it. You should eat it quickly."

Song Dashan nodded and sat down to eat.

Song's mother glanced at Li Mo intentionally or unintentionally from the moment she came in. She knew that this was his son's daughter-in-law. Everyone in the village was talking about his second son's buying a daughter-in-law at a high price. The daughter-in-law kept talking at home. She didn't believe it at first, so she had to believe it now.

Song's mother cleared her throat and asked song Dashan, "Dashan, is this the daughter-in-law you bought yesterday?"

Song Dashan looked at Li Mo, saw her head down to eat, nodded and answered his mother, "well, mother, her name is Li mo."

Song's mother looks at Li Mo again. She says it's too long. She has never seen a daughter-in-law like this when she was so old, but she can't be a good-looking girl. Look at her weak appearance. She can't pick up her hands. She wants to be a ancestor. Besides, it's two liang silver. With a little more money, she can buy a cow.

I can't help complaining that my second son didn't know to discuss with them.

Song's mother wants to say something about song Dashan, but it's useless to see that someone has bought it back, and it's hard to say it in front of Li Mo, so she swallows it again, remembering the purpose of her eldest son and daughter-in-law. She droops her eyes and doesn't know how to say it for a moment.

Seeing song's mother sitting there and not talking, the atmosphere was a little embarrassed for a moment. Song Dashan took the initiative to say, "Niang, what else are you doing here today?"

Seeing that song Dashan took the initiative to speak, song's mother was relieved and followed song's question to answer: "that, Dashan, it's like this"

in the middle of the sentence, her expression was a little stiff. She glanced at Li Mo, who was sitting down and eating seriously, and then said, "your elder brother's good brother is going to hand in the bundle soon. Your elder brother is short of money, so I want to know what else you have There is no silver left, so that you can give your nephew a bundle of repairs. "With that, song's mother lowered her eyes and dared not look into her second son's eyes.

In fact, it was the eldest daughter-in-law who heard that the second son had bought a daughter-in-law for two liang of silver. She thought that the second son had more money in his hand and must have hidden a lot of money. So she regretted that she had asked for less alimony last time and asked her to come and ask for more.

Song Dashan's voice was a little heavy. "Niang, I've already given my elder brother and sister-in-law alimony."

Song's mother was a little chatty and rubbed her hands, "Dashan, if you hadn't been at home for so many years, Xiaobao couldn't have survived without your elder brother and sister-in-law, thanks to your elder brother and sister-in-law for so many years"

Song Dashan remembered that when he came back, he saw that his son was thin and dead, but his elder brother mingge'er, a few good friends in the elder brother's family, were white and fat, and his son was broken Old clothes that can't be seen can't stop coming up, and rice bowls are heavily placed on the table, making a "touch" sound. His eyes sank, his lips were tight, and his momentum was a little shocking. Xiao BaoFan didn't dare to eat. He looked at Song Dashan and looked at Li Mo timidly. His eyes seemed to be seeking shelter.

Li Mo quickly hugs Xiao Bao, sits in his arms and pats him on the back.

Xiaobao seems to be a little scared. Song Dashan looks at his mother, his eyes are a little complicated, and his voice is a little difficult. "Niang, my disability allowance is only 15 Liang in total, and I've given 8 Liang to my elder brother and sister-in-law. I didn't get anything when I came back. I still have two mu of land to buy this house. I don't have much money on me. Why Jasmine is the last money on me. I have no money on me now. "

Song's mother was a little bit upset by song Dashan, and she was not without guilt.

In those days, a family had to produce a male, or they would have to pay five liang of silver. The family was reluctant to give up the money, so they pushed their second son out to be a soldier. Now the second son came back from the battlefield and was disabled. He had nothing to do with his family. She let him go out to live with Xiaobao. She knew that she was sorry for her second son, but she didn't do it FA, the eldest son is in charge of the family now, and she has to rely on the eldest son to provide for the aged, so she can't listen to them.

Song's mother thought that she could not stay here any longer, and stood up in embarrassment, "well, mother knows, and then she left."

Song's mother left quickly, and song Dashan didn't send her away, but the atmosphere was so low after that.

Li Mo probably heard that song Dashan should have gone out to be a soldier for many years before, but now he comes home, and his elder brother and sister-in-law ask him for money.

I don't know about other Li mo. I'll try to find out later.

After dinner in silence, Li Mo picked up the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.

After cleaning up, it was already dark. With the last light, song Dashan burned some hot water to wash.

In fact, Li Mo is very uncomfortable and wants to take a good bath. Looking at Song Dashan, who is sitting under the stove and boiling water, Li Mo says, "brother Dashan, I want to take a bath."

Song Dashan pauses, remembering that there is no bath basin at home, only a small basin for washing face and a foot basin. He usually washes cold water directly, so he can't use the bath basin.

Song Dashan hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have a bathtub at home, so I have to wipe it with the washbasin first." In the heart but secretly wrote down, must make a bathtub.

Li Mo nods. It's better to wipe it with water than not to wash it.

After the water is boiled, song Dashan puts hot water in a wooden bucket and brings it to Li Mo's room. Then he brings her the basin to wash her face. After thinking about it, he finds a better linen cloth and hands it to Li Mo as a towel. Finally, he finds out one of his best clothes for Li Mo to change for a while.

"Thank you, Dashan." Li Mo really appreciates his consideration.

Song Dashan did not say anything, nodded, walked out of the door and closed the door by the way.

Li Mo takes off her clothes and washes her body with hot water in the basin. When the water is cold, she adds some hot water.

Finally, after washing, I feel relaxed all over.

Although there are patches on Song Dashan's clothes, Li Mo doesn't dislike them as much as he does. Some of them are good, but for her, the clothes are a little too big and look empty. After thinking about it, Li Mo tears a piece of cloth from her old clothes as a belt and ties her waist tightly, which doesn't affect her activities.

Li Mo opens the door of the room, sees song Dashan making something in the moonlight, hears the sound, and looks up.

Li Mo is embarrassed to smile, "big mountain elder brother, I washed."

Song Dashan nodded, put down the things in his hands, went into the room, and was about to pour out the water in the basin.

Li Mo is surprised, hastily stop, "big mountain elder brother, need not, I come by myself."

Song Dashan easily avoided Li Mo and continued to walk outside, "heavy, I'll come."

Li Mo pursed her lips, a little ashamed. It was the first time that someone poured her bath water.
