Chapter 390: sad family
Chapter 390 A Tragic Family
When she was questioning, a man and a woman came out of the model house. They were Li Gang's parents Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin.
Both of them had injuries on their faces and necks, and they looked more shocking than Li Gang.
Liang Xiaonan looked at Li Jianhua, who was staggering with a dead look on his face.
Li Jianhua worked hard to cheer up, and said embarrassedly: "Xiao Liang, I'm sorry, can we stay with Xiao Gang for a few days?"
"What's wrong with you? Who hit it? Li Gang's grandma?"
Several pieces of skin were missing from his head, it was hot, glaring and creepy to look at, his clothes were torn to pieces, that’s what he looked like.
An old woman so brave? Maybe there is Aunt Li Gang's handwriting? !
Sure enough, Li Jianhua said embarrassingly: "My sisters and nephews called... My mother and I separated."
Xiaoqin cried and said: "They kicked us out, we have no home, they said, don't give us a blade of grass..."
Li Gang was so angry that his eyes were red, and he said to Liang Xiaonan with tears in his eyes: "Sister, no matter what, my parents are free. There is no limit to the road, as long as we work hard, we can survive."
Liang Xiaonan was not in a hurry to comfort them, but just asked: "Is it really clear? There will be no more entanglements in the future?"
Li Gang took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was the second sheet of carbon paper, with Li Jianqun’s signature on it, as well as the handprints of the old woman and Li Jianhua, and another witness named Zhang Heshui, the captain of the production team.
The content is very simple and rude: Li Jianhua left the house and never returned to Dongtang Village. He gave Li Nie 50 yuan as pension money every year.
It's really cruel, not giving a penny, kicking her son out of the house, and giving her 50 yuan of pension money every year!
What the hell, they will never return to Dongtang Village, where will they go to farm to earn money for her retirement? Now it is not popular to hire workers, and there is no such thing as a part-time job.
In the final analysis, this is still a calculation of what Li Gang gave her as a helper.
"Sister, if you don't agree to this condition, there is no way for my parents to get out."
Xiaoqin looked at Liang Xiaonan pitifully: "Can we live here? We can cut grass and feed the fish, just want a place to live."
Li Jianhua said out of breath: "We will find a way to find the mayor, and then we will see where we can settle down and farm. If we find a place, we will leave here immediately."
"Sister, there is a lot of grass on the mountain, my father can weave baskets, can you ask him to help you weave baskets?" Li Gang proposed.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will mow the grass and ask Jianhua to weave baskets." Xiaoqin said pitifully, "We will definitely not live for nothing."
Liang Xiaonan had a very good impression of Li Jianhua. From the first time he and Li Gang met their family, he and Li Gang expressed that they would not take things for nothing.
Liang Xiaonan said: "At first you were at home, your grandma and your aunt worked together to deal with you, but now you have left. They are bound to fight among themselves. Sooner or later, your grandma will find Dakeng Village, and she will still rely on her."
Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin suddenly looked panicked, they really have nowhere to go now.
Liang Xiaonan looked at the poor family, sighed, and said to her mulberry garden, to help pick duck eggs, eggs, or help grow vegetables and dry them.
Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin fell from the sky with joy.
Li Jianhua proposed: "It is enough to manage food and housing. We don't want wages. I make up baskets when I have time. We pay the original price for the baskets."
He figured that if he could make up a basket for a year, he would be able to earn the 50 yuan pension that Li Nie asked for.
Liang Xiaonan said: "Don't argue, it's settled like this, food and lodging, 15 yuan per person per month. Remember, to the outside world, don't tell me that I hired you to work, but that your relatives live there. Help."
Now it is not allowed to hire people.
Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin's family are very grateful, Liang Xiaonan asked them: "You come here, how many people have seen it?"
Li Gang shook his head: "It's strange today, there is no one in the field, and we haven't met anyone."
Of course there is no one else, they all went to see Liang Xiaonan’s harvester and thresher.
Besides, Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin looked very embarrassed after being beaten. They also deliberately avoided the crowd, and when they came, they got into the model house and did not come out.
"Well, the two of you will take the car with me to the mulberry garden. No one of you will know where I am. When your grandma comes to look for her, she will not be able to find anyone."
The pickup was outside the fish pond. Both Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin were a little embarrassed because their clothes were so torn.
Xiaoqin's clothes couldn't cover her body. Li Jianhua was already in poor health. Not only were his clothes tattered, but he also seemed to have suffered some internal injuries from the beating. He kept covering his left arm with his hands.
"Broken arm?" Liang Xiaonan asked.
"I don't know, it hurts badly." Li Jianhua said, sweat dripped from his head, and Liang Xiaonan thought it was a hot day.
Really, is this Li Nie's mother?
Liang Xiaonan took three sets of labor insurance suits and three pairs of sandals from the car, handed them to Li Gang and said, "Take your parents inside and change into clothes."
Now they don't refuse, it's too indecent to be naked.
The quality of the labor protection clothing is good, much better than the patch upon patch of rough cloth they usually wear. This is the first time for a family of three to wear such neat clothes.
Li Gang wanted to say thank you, but he didn't say anything. He grinned and didn't speak.
That’s right, thank you, as long as people do well.
Liang Xiaonan took another ginseng fruit from his satchel and gave it to Li Jianhua with the spirit spring liquid: "Eat it quickly."
Li Jianhua ate it without asking what it was.
Liang Xiaonan said with a smile: "You didn't even ask what was given to you and just ate it? What if it's poison?"
Li Jianhua said weakly: "I am willing to take the poison you give me."
"Okay, let's go." Liang Xiaonan was very happy with Li Jianhua's trust, "We have to get to the mulberry garden before dark."
She went to the old house to drive a pickup just now, but Grandma Liang didn't know where she went, and she didn't see anyone.
The car drove up and went directly to the mulberry garden.
Cui Aihua, Liu Chengyu, and Meng Hao are all busy in the mulberry garden, while Dongdong is reading and writing.
Dongdong hadn’t seen Liang Xiaonan for several days. When he saw him, he ran over and called "Auntie". Liang Xiaonan picked him up and said, "He has grown taller and heavier, Dongdong is very good!"
Dongdong said: "Auntie, I have memorized the thousand-character prose."
"Okay, Dongdong will recite it to my aunt."
Dongdong memorized the thousand-character prose, articulate, and every word was good.
Liang Xiaonan got out of the car with a basket, and said with a smile, "Guess what Auntie brought you?"
Cui Aihua came back with a basket of duck eggs sweating profusely, and said happily: "My sister is back? I have almost finished picking up today's duck eggs. What can you bring him? He has everything to eat and drink here. I'm so happy."
Liang Xiaonan opened the basket: "Clang, clang, look—"
Three furry dumplings.
A golden retriever, a Tibetan mastiff, and an ordinary kitten.
"Auntie, these two puppies and cats are so beautiful, are they all mine?" Dongdong likes them so much that he can't wait to hold them in his arms.
In the 1960s, all kinds of pets were not hyped. Anyway, these small animals are friends in the eyes of children like Dongdong.
Liang Xiaonan introduced Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin to Cui Aihua and Liu Chengyu, saying that they were his relatives who were here to help, and Liu Chengyu had the final say on how to distribute the work in the garden.
Looking at Liu Chengyu and Cui Aihua getting acquainted with Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin, Liu Chengyu took them to the dormitory.
Anyway, there are many rooms in the back, so Liu Chengyu arranged a separate room for Li Jianhua and Xiaoqin. They are a couple, and the son may come in the future, and the family reunite, so he and Meng Hao will not be crowded in the same dormitory.
After setting them up, Liang Xiaonan was about to leave when Li Jianhua hurried over and shouted eagerly: "Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang..."
