Chapter 8 Kissing the Family

Li Ye’s home is a single-family bungalow courtyard with three main rooms and three side rooms, and the living conditions are pretty good.

As soon as he rode his bike to the door, Li Ye smelled the fragrance of spicy and sour potato shreds.

It was late autumn and early winter, and all kinds of fine vegetables were basically off the market. The tables of each restaurant were basically filled with radishes, potatoes and cabbage.

Li Ye pushed the cart into the door and saw three figures working in the kitchen shed.

The older one is naturally Li Ye’s stepmother Han Chunmei, and the younger one is the two daughters she brought with her. She changed her surname to Li Kaijian, named Li Juan and Li Ying.

Han Chunmei is also a miserable person.

When he was young, Han Chunmei was recognized as a flower in all corners of the countryside. After marrying a carpenter, she gave birth to two girls in a row, but she could never give birth again.

If this were to be found in later generations, it would be beautiful for men with two daughters.

There is no need to save money to buy a house or land, and there is no need to worry about car dowry. When you lie on the sofa during festivals, your daughter will send you tobacco, alcohol, candy, and tea. The son-in-law has to smile and flatter you: "Dad, let's go?"

When you get old, you will be sick and disasters. Even if you pay money and work, you will not be able to escape. If you have money for the rest of your life, you will be extremely relaxed.

But this era is not good, every family has a throne waiting to be inherited! If you can't give birth to a guard with a knife, gossip can kill someone.

Han Chunmei's in-laws were very strong and forced her son to divorce his wife and marry him, driving Han Chunmei out of the house.

Han Chunmei took her two daughters back to her parents' home. After several years of hard work, she finally married Li Kaijian, who was eight years older than her.

Then, she felt that it was heaven.

The parents-in-law no longer criticizes the mulberry and the locust because their daughter has eaten half a piece of steamed bun, and the men will not pull out the belt just because they break a bowl.

And after getting married, the Li family first found a temporary job for Han Chunmei, which was 22.5 yuan a month, which seemed not much, but it made her so miserable that she cried with joy.

No one understands better than her that her children don’t have the pain of seeing others eating candy, but they don’t have the pain of having a penny in their pockets.

No one knew better than her. The child was shouting hungry in the middle of the night, but he could only feed them a bowl of cold water.

So after entering the Li family, Han Chunmei treated the Li family with a grateful heart and took care of all the laundry, cooking and housework, so that Li Ye's grandmother often complained that "I'm not old yet, so it's useless."

"Oh, is Ono back?"

When Han Chunmei saw Li Ye enter the door, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out two cents and handed them to her daughter.

"Xiaojuan, go to East Street to buy a piece of tofu, Xiaoying washes a cabbage."

The food is precious now, and I have a lot of food to cook at home. There will definitely be no waste of leftovers. So Li Ye suddenly came back, and Han Chunmei was afraid that she would not cook enough food.

"No need to be so troublesome. I'll just put some stuff outside and mix with cabbage."

Li Ye waved his hand to stop Li Juan, who was about to go out, took out the bag of uneasy candy from his schoolbag and handed it over.

"I will try the candy I bought on the road for you and Xiaoying."

""

Li Juan looked at the candy handed to her, feeling a little at a loss.

She has been to the Li family with Han Chunmei for a year, but she has never seen Li Ye’s good face. What happened today? Was the donkey kicked in the head? Or did the sow climb up a tree?

"I don't want to eat you, just eat it!"

Li Juan held back her saliva and refused to the mouth of the candy, lowered her head and walked out behind Han Chunmei.

"Eat it! I still have half a pack!"

Li Yeliang showed the half bag of hemp candy he had eaten and stuffed the whole bag of hemp candy into Li Juan's hand.

"oh."

Li Juan took it and walked behind Han Chunmei with her head down, looked at her sister Li Ying, revealing a faint joy.

Han Chunmei frowned and scolded her two daughters: "Oh oh, even a brother can't shout? Is this adult ignorant?"

""

"elder brother."

"elder brother."

The two girls hurriedly called Li Ye, "I was timid and mosquitoes hummed."

"It's okay, I'm not sensible before, and I've gradually got used to it. I went into the house first."

Li Ye hurriedly advised him a few times and turned to the north room. If he didn't leave, his two sisters were uneasy.

After Li Ye left, Han Chunmei rubbed the corners of her eyes and said sternly to her two daughters: "Is it so embarrassing for you to call me brother? I'm so embarrassed to eat candy, take a plate, serve it on the table."

The two children's mouths were pouting immediately, and Li Juan muttered in a low voice: "He doesn't even call you mother!"

"I"

Han Chunmei reached out and was about to hit her, but when she raised her hand halfway, she sighed and put it down.

It’s hard to be a stepmother!

The two daughters were unhappy but they still took the plate well and put the candy on it, as snacks on the dining table.

The remaining little hemp candy was divided into three parts by Li Juan, one for her sister Li Ying and one for her mother Han Chunmei.

Tears finally came from the corners of Han Chunmei's eyes.

......

Li Ye suddenly returned home, and everyone in the family was very happy.

Grandpa and grandma hugged their eldest grandson and asked about their well-being, saying that they had lost weight.

The eldest sister pulled her brother's coat, looked at her little, and agreed to buy Li Ye a new one after another after paying her salary.

It was because he took Li Ye’s belt and Li Kaijian, who had a bad relationship between the two of them, also paid the money with a stern face: “Are you missing money again when you come back this day? I’ll give you ten yuan first and save some money.”

Li Ye was still a little worried about how to get along with his family in this world, but the strong warmth of family and sincere family affection made him feel completely unsatisfied with the barriers in his heart and naturally integrated into it.

"No, I still have money. There is some main thing to do. Come back and tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

"I'll get the 26 Phoenix back today."

""

Everyone was stunned for a moment. After a long time, Li Kaijian asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"

"I didn't think much," Li Ye said: "The day before yesterday, Lu Jingyao sent me 45 yuan. I think since they don't look down on us, we should not hold our hot face and stick our cold butts, so we can get together and part. Don't have any trouble of stretching and pulling for a long time."

"Ba~"

Li Kaijian slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't it better if you think so long ago? If I hadn't been caring for you, wouldn't it be too bad?"

"What are you mumbling?"

Grandma spat at Li Kaijian and asked Li Ye worriedly: "You really think about it on."

Li Ye nodded and said, "I thought about it, but there may be some bad rumors recently. Don't take it seriously, as it will fade away in a few days."

"Rumor? What rumor?"

Li Kaijian was about to ask carefully, but Li Ye's grandfather Li Zhongfa said, "Okay, have dinner first, the children are hungry, what are you talking about endlessly?"

"How can I talk?"

Li Kaijian muttered, lowered his head and started eating.

If Li Ye was taught by Li Kaijian with a belt in the past, then Li Kaijian was cleaned up by Li Zhongfa with sticks. "A filial son appears under the sticks" is the tradition of the Li family.

When they were almost finished their meal, Li Zhongfa suddenly asked Li Ye: "Have you been taking the class division exam recently?"

Li Ye replied: "The exam is an exam, but I don't know whether it's because of the class division. How do you know, grandpa?"

Li Zhongfa said: "This morning, your school called me and said that your test scores were not too good or too bad. It was a bit difficult to enter the express class."

Li Ye understood what was going on as soon as he heard this.

The repeating class of the County No. 2 Middle School was originally divided into fast and slow classes. Now that the entire express class came out, it was naturally a radical measure taken to impact the admission rate.

With Li Ye's test scores and rankings, it is impossible to enter the express class. The reason why the school called Li Zhong was that it was because it had something to ask for.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about my studies. I can get into college even if I don't enter the express class, so don't agree to things that don't meet the regulations."

"What's not in line with the regulations? Just follow the rules. Just review it carefully. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you can't pass the exam, we have no requirements for you."

Yes, I still don't believe in myself.

Li Ye looked at the eyes of everyone on the dinner table and could feel everyone's mood.

No matter whether it is grandparents, fathers and sisters, they dare not put pressure on Li Ye, and they are carefully caring for the self-esteem of the "No. 1 family".

"Okay, I understand. If you can pass the exam, it will be better. If you don't pass the exam, I will just rely on my parents!"

Li Ye did not swear to make everyone believe it. Anyway, I would just give you a big surprise.
