The Li family had a very prosperous year. Not only did everyone in the family change into neat clothes, but they also cooked two meat dishes.

   Looking at the braised pork and stewed cabbage with pork on the table, Li Hong's expression finally improved, he moved his chopsticks and said, "Eat it."

  Li Hong took a few chopsticks and meat in a row, feeling that the greedy worm in his stomach was a little quieter, and then looked at the skinny Li Liu.

   Although Li Liu is eleven years old, it may be the reason why she has been hungry all the time. She looks like she is only nine years old.

   But a small face can already be seen to be beautiful, as long as you eat well, you must be a symbol of beauty.

   She looks like his mother.

  Li Hong gave her a chopstick of braised pork, "Eat more, we rarely eat this meat once, but when you get married, maybe you can eat it every day."

   Mei's face turned pale, and Li Hong also squeezed the chopsticks in his hand, but the two of them didn't say anything.

  Li Liu is not stupid, not to mention that there is a lesson from the older sister, the elder sister also told the elder sister the same before she got married.

   Her face turned pale, she stared at the meat in the bowl for a while and then ate it fiercely, even if she died, she would still be full before she died.

  The Li family has a tradition of keeping the New Year's Eve. Because the lamp oil was expensive, Li Hong turned off the lights, and the family sat on a couch under the moonlight to watch the night.

Looking up at the moon outside, Li Hong slapped his mouth and said, "The days are different. When your grandfather was still here, our Li family also celebrated the New Year's Eve. It was lively at that time, and no one in the whole village could compare to it. our house."

"Before twenty-nine, your grandfather would go to the city to buy good New Year's goods, not only pork, but also a lot of chicken, duck and fish. After thirty, we would prepare dinner and worship our ancestors before eating in the main room. There are four cold dishes alone. There are two soups and eight hot dishes, and those that can’t be eaten at one time will be heated on the stove, and they will continue to be eaten during the night vigil.”

Li Liu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Li Jun lowered his eyes and looked at his hand. He had already guessed from the conversation between his mother and his cousin that his grandfather and uncle left a lot of money, but it was a pity that his father kept those All the money is lost.

   "Just where can you eat those leftovers for supper?" Li Hong continued: "Your grandfather and grandmother prepared a lot of snacks for you, and you will be full just by eating those."

  Li Liu couldn't help dragging his brother and asked, "Brother, have you eaten it too?"

  Li Jun had already remembered things at that time, and nodded slightly. It was only during the Chinese New Year. The Li family had a good life, and on weekdays, they could only eat meat every few days.

   Grandfather said that the blessings of the year are in the few days of the New Year. We can't lose our family. Eat well during the New Year, and you will be more motivated when the spring begins.

   Grandfather's days are the best days he can remember, when he didn't worry about whether the sea was making waves or whether it was going to rain or dry.

   What he thinks about every day is where to go and what to play today, and the worst thing he does is to raise eyebrows at the second sister who is demented, jealous that she has meat or candy to eat.

  Li Hong talked about it for a long time before leaning on the couch to sleep in a daze.

   Mrs. Mei went back to the house and hugged the quilt to cover him, but Li Jun stopped him and put the quilt over his sister. He lowered his eyes and said, "Mother, father has a lot of firepower, so the quilt should be given to the little sister."

   "Then I'll go and carry the little sister's quilt too."

   "What's the use of the quilt, it's not so cold without it."

   Mrs. Mei was a little embarrassed, "Then, you can't let your father hang out like this. What if he catches a cold?"

   "The mother should cover the little sister's quilt for Dad."

   Mrs. Mei stayed for a while, and finally agreed, and put Li Liu's thin quilt over Li Hong's body.

   Mrs. Mei leaned on the couch and covered the same quilt with Li Liu, waiting for the early morning.

  The room was quiet for a while, except for Li Jun, everyone fell asleep.

   He was silent for a while, and finally tore off the quilt from his father...

Li Hong was woken up by the cold. When he woke up, he saw that he had occupied the entire couch, and his quilt had been kicked to the couch. Got this stinky bug?

   He felt that his throat was dry and itchy, his nose could not help flowing down, and his complexion couldn't help changing, which was obviously cold.

  How many people died of cold in the exile without doctors and medicines?

  Li Hong jumped up immediately, went back to the house top-heavy to find the money he had hidden, and picked out fifty coins to Li Jun, "You are fast, go to the county town and buy me some typhoid medicine. Come back quickly!"

  Li Jun pushed the money back and said indifferently: "The last time my mother took the medicine, there are still two sets left. Why don't I boil it and give it to my father. Anyway, it's a cold."

  Li Hong thought about the last time Mei was sick and lay at home for three days, he couldn't help but get angry and asked, "Did you buy medicine last time? Where did you get the money?"

   "Girls gave it."

  Li Hong's anger slightly lessened, but his expression was still bad, "Are you hiding it from me on purpose?"

"Father," Li Jun called out, looking into his eyes and asked, "Don't you feel sorry for my mother? When she was sick, you didn't tell her to get her medicine, and you didn't even enter the house very much, and went out all day. run…"

   "It's alright, alright, don't make trouble for your mother," Li Hong interrupted him impatiently, "Hurry up and take the medicine to boil, I feel a little headache."

  Li Jun pursed his lips. His father was not like this before. Although he was lazy and ambitious, he was really kind to the three of them. He went in and out with his mother and rarely had a red face.

  Li Jun turned around and took out the two medicines from the cabinet. The poor and humble couples grieved, maybe this was the fault of poverty.

   Mrs. Mei took Li Liu out to visit. On the first day of the first year, the neighbors would greet each other for the New Year. On the second day of the second year, Li Baolu and Li He would come back.

  Li Jun personally guarded the medicine stove. After it was boiled, it cooled a little and then brought it to Li Hong. Li Hong took the medicine and drank it. He frowned with bitterness in his mouth and said, "Why does this medicine taste wrong?"

   Although Li Hong has no knowledge and skills, but after all, he is familiar with his father, and he still recognizes ordinary medicines.

   Li Jun's palms were sweating, but he said calmly: "This is the medicine brought back from the county by a trustee. Maybe the prescription is different from that of grandfather?"

   Li Hong snorted coldly, "How dare you compare the prescription of a villager in the countryside to your grandfather's? Your grandfather was an imperial physician."

   He stuffed the bowl back and said with a splitting headache, "Forget it, I'm going to sleep, and I'll cook it for me at night. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the county town tomorrow to see it."

  Li Jun responded.

   In the evening, Li Jun brought him another bowl of medicine, and Li Hong drank it. After a while, he felt that something was wrong. He felt that his hands and feet were constantly moving, and the most terrifying thing was that he would unconsciously twitch the corners of his mouth.

   This is a sign of a stroke!

  How is this possible, how could he have a stroke when he was in his prime?

   Li Hong looked sharply at Li Jun, pointed at him with trembling fingers, and said with a crooked mouth, "You, you..."

  Li Jun's eyes were slightly red, but he clenched his fists and refused to take a step forward.

   After a while, Li Hongcai roared, "Nizi!"

   "Father, I'll give you the antidote when you stop selling your sister."

  Li Hong stared.

Li Jun looked at him deeply, turned around and left, stopped at the door and asked, "Dad, do you know that noble person likes to abuse children? It is said that his family likes to buy eight or nine-year-old girls, but those girls are rare. I have lived more than half a year. I remember one time my grandfather came back from a doctor’s visit and bought a set of very beautiful clothes for the second sister. You were very angry and hugged Niuniu to go to the grandfather, saying that she was younger than the second sister, how could the grandfather be partial to the second sister ? You used to hang out with your little sister on your shoulders. You used to love her so much, but why have you forgotten all about her now?"

  Li Hong was startled, but after a while he realized that this was not the reason why his son was not filial to him.

  Father-killing is a capital offense, poisoning him, such an abhorrent thing, no matter what the reason is.

  Li Hong glared at him.

  Li Jun opened the door and went out, leaving him alone.

It wasn't until dinner that Mrs. Mei realized that her husband had become a crippled person. She cried and laughed for a while, and finally pinched Li Hong and glared at him with red eyes: "I gave you the medicine, I gave you the medicine. ."

   Li Hong glared at him coldly. Mrs. Mei was his bedside, and he knew her best, but if she had the courage, they wouldn't live like this.

   He snorted coldly in his heart, closed his eyes and said nothing, wanting to take the blame for her son, but there was no door.

   He wanted to see how capable Li Jun was to lock him up, but he had made an appointment with Liu San to pick up Niuniu tomorrow.

  Li Hong closed his eyes and waited for backup. The first people to arrive at Li's house the next day were Li He and her husband Lu Tong, who were not far from them.

Lu Tong is only a few years younger than Li Hong, but he is a whole round older than Li He. He is a little frail and has gloomy eyes. From his appearance, no one can tell that he is prone to domestic violence, but it was Lian Li who started his madness. Jun was afraid.

Li Jun once watched him go crazy. At that time, he went to Liucun to see his eldest sister, and he helped his eldest sister to fetch water. He was obviously fine a moment ago, smiling, but suddenly he went mad for no reason and grabbed the eldest sister. He knocked his head to the ground, punching and kicking Li He as if he didn't want to die.

   At that time, Li Jun was almost mad, so he rushed up to fight with Lu Tong, obviously looking at the very thin man, but he was very energetic. At that time, Li Jun was almost beaten to death, and it was his eldest sister who climbed out and asked people to hold him down.

   When Lu Tong prepared a courtesy to apologize, Li Hong forgave him.

   But Li Jun hated him deeply in his heart. This man is a lunatic, and his father married his eldest sister to him, knowing that he was exiled for beating his wife to death.

Li He carried a basket, which not only contained a few catties of rice, but also a dozen eggs. She handed the basket to her mother and said with a smile, "Mother, these eggs are for you and your little sister, don't you please? Too tired."

Looking at the injury on Li He's head, Mrs. Mei could hardly recover. This was a new injury. It was obviously only two days ago. At this moment, she didn't blame her son for his disobedience. She pulled her eldest daughter. , ignoring Lu Tong directly, "Enter the house with my mother."

Lu Tong didn't care at all. When he was in his hometown, he didn't dare to beat his wife's head and face. Not only was he afraid that his wife's family would know, but also that the neighbors would criticize him. But now he was in a place of exile, and everyone knew why he was exiled. There is no relative, so why cover up?

   And before Li He married him, the Li family also knew his details, but it was a wife bought with silver. If they beat him, how could the Li family take him?
