Chapter 8

"Oh, it's Shaoan, why are you back?"

Ma Hui, who was angry just now, immediately changed into a smile and became extremely enthusiastic. Those who didn't know how good her sister-in-law was to her younger brother.

"What, I can't come back?"

Li Shaoan stepped into the house and smiled coldly, not giving his third sister-in-law a good face.

Ma Hui didn't care at all, but instead greeted her with a smile and pretended to be very caring, "Where is this? You are back, your brothers and sisters-in-law are happy."

Out of politeness among relatives, the third brother Li Shaomin cannot be embarrassed. Although Li Shaoan was extremely reluctant to talk to Ma Hui, he still acted as a superficial one and said good to Ma Hui.

"It's true, I won't say anything when I come back. I'll go to the foot of the mountain to pick you up."

Looking at Li Shaoan covered in wind and snow, Tan Hongxia felt very distressed and complained in her words. Thinking that Li Shaoan had just returned home at this time, she must have suffered a lot on the mountain road.

"Brother, I'm back..."

When Li Shaoguo came to Li Shaoguo, Li Shaoan felt guilty and was under his head.

In recent years, Li Shaoguo got up early and went to bed late every day, with the wind and sunlight, so that he could provide Li Shaoan with a good unit to graduate and do a decent job. He could also say that he would be the best way to bring the Li family to the glory of his ancestors.

But Li Shaoan was determined to stick to his ideals, gave up the work assigned by the school, and chose to return to Tieshan Bay.

This matter would never feel good for Li Shaoguo. His always thought was to let Li Shaoan get out of this poor and backward mountain valley. The Li family would have hope in the future, but they never thought that after a long circle, they would go back.

"Um."

Li Shaoguo's face was not very good-looking, a little bit blue, and he simply responded from his nose.

Li Shaoan felt guilty to his elder brother and lowered his head without saying anything.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two brothers, Tan Hongxia hurriedly came up to persuade him, "Don't stand it. What a happy thing Shaoan can come back? What can't be overcome by brothers?"

"Shao'an, you're here to talk to your brother and sister-in-law. I'll go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of ginger soup for you. It's wind and snow along the way. You stupid kid." Tan Hongxia still cared about Li Shao'an as always, worried that he would be frozen.

"It's ginger soup again..."

Li Shaoan just drank a large bowl of ginger soup at Zhao Xuemei's house, and even venting his breath was smelling of ginger.

"What's wrong?" Tan Hongxia was a little confused when she heard Li Shaoan mutter.

"No, nothing." Li Shaoan shook his head repeatedly. He must not tell the third person about him and Zhao Xuemei.

Tan Hongxia didn't ask much, and turned around and went to the kitchen.

In the main hall, Li Shaoguo remained silent and was still angry with Shaoan. Only Li Shaomin and his wife were talking.

Li Shaomin took the initiative to talk to his younger brother, "Shao'an, how long can you stay in Tieshan Bay this time, and when will you go back to school?"

"I won't go back for the time being, stay there." Li Shaoan replied.

Li Shaomin said concernedly: "What's wrong? Isn't it that I haven't graduated yet? Is there something wrong with the school?"

Li Shaoan smiled and said, "Third brother, nothing happened. The school will let us participate in social practice next semester. After thinking about it, I simply returned to Tieshan Bay and waited until June to go to school to work on graduation."

"It's good that nothing happened. You are the first college student in our village. He is a phoenix among people. If you can come back to Tieshan Bay, you will be the phoenix and return to the nest. Our Li family will be honored." Li Shaomin smiled happily, feeling happy for Shaoan.

Ma Hui also said, "Shao'an, just come back. Your two brothers have suffered a lot in order to support you in recent years. Now that you have achieved success in your studies, you should help your brothers share some burden."

Li Shaomin said embarrassedly: "I'll forget it, it's all my brother who gave you. If you want to help, please help me more."

Ma Hui turned her head and glared at Li Shaomin, which scared Li Shaomin immediately shut up and dared not speak.

Li Shaoan sneered in his heart, and couldn't help but feel contempt for his third sister-in-law Ma Hui. He has been studying all these years, and his elder brother Li Shaoguo is supporting him. He has never seen her Ma Hui help her at all. As a result, he has been arrogant and invited to make a contribution.

Li Shaoan smiled and said without a smile: "Of course, I really want to thank my two brothers and sister-in-law for my completion of college."

Ma Hui said, "When you were not back just now, my elder brother said he would divide the ten acres of land in your family."

Li Shaoan could already hear the conversation outside the door clearly, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked Li Shaoguo: "Brother, do you really need to divide the land?"

Li Shaoguo is a stubborn temper and the head of the Li family. He will not be so angry for a while, otherwise he will not be able to hold on to face and will still have a strong face and nod as a response.

Ma Hui smiled very kindly: "Shao'an, your third brother is a good person. He only gave you two acres of land and gave you one acre of land. I also said at that time that your third brother, our family of three is not yet settled, but he only cares about you, brother."

Ma Hui’s implication is so clear that it is no longer clear. I gave you the four acres of land in your hand, Li Shaoan. If you know what you are, you will return it. Even if you don’t return it, you will thank the third brother and sister-in-law for your kindness and remember this kindness.

"San brother, you have loved me since you were a child. At that time, when we were stealing sweet potatoes in the field, you gave me the biggest one." Li Shaoan deliberately pretended to be confused with Ma Hui, clearly knowing what trick you had done, but I just didn't accept it.

When Li Shaomin heard about his childhood, he was very excited and agreed: "Yes, we went to the village chief's house to steal sweet potatoes at that time, and was caught by Huang Yunlong, the old turtle. His wife Tian Lezhi is really fierce and fierce, even more than your third sister-in-law..."

Li Shaomin suddenly realized something was wrong, and he couldn't help but say it, and he quickly swallowed the remaining half of the sentence back into his stomach.

He turned his head to look at Ma Hui in fear. Fortunately, Ma Hui didn't listen carefully at all. Otherwise, if she heard this, she would not have had a quiet life to go back tonight.

Speaking of Tian Lezhi, Li Shaoan suddenly felt a chill behind his back. He almost fell into the hands of this old woman tonight, but after thinking about it, he was scared.

Speaking of interesting childhood stories, the two brothers opened up, as if they had endless things to say. Li Shaoguo saw the two brothers laughing happily, and his face gradually calmed down.

Li Shaoguo loved his youngest brother Li Shaoan since he was a child. He would never be angry with Shaoan. He just wanted to save face and pretend to behave.

"What are you three brothers talking about?"

Tan Hongxia brought out a bowl of steaming ginger soup from the kitchen. She was also happy to see the family happy.

Holding the ginger soup handed over by my sister-in-law, Li Shaoan's stomach was swollen, but he still drank it all.

The happier the three brothers were in the chat, the worse Ma Hui felt. Looking at the back of Li Shaomin's fat head, she really wanted to wave her hand and slap her twice.

"Li Shaomin, Li Shaomin, I understand. You are just an unreliable coward!" Ma Hui scolded her man hard in her heart. If it weren't for her brother and sister-in-law's house, she would have inevitably started with Li Shaomin with her fierce temperament.

If you can’t get it, you can only get some cheaper by dividing the ground.

Ma Hui pretended to ask, "Brother, your ten acres of land, eight acres of paddy fields, and two acres of dry land. How can you separate your brothers from Shaomin and Shaoan?"

Li Shaoguo had no plans and said casually: "Listen to the discussion between his brothers."

The rice can be grown in paddy fields. At that time, rice is much more expensive than sweet potatoes, so the benefits of growing rice are better. However, growing rice is a dirty and tiring job. Just planting rice can break the spine.

Sweet potatoes can be grown in dry land, and sweet potatoes are sold at a low price. Many families with poor conditions cook sweet potatoes with rice. However, sweet potatoes are easy to feed and do not need to be managed. You can gain a lot of things by yourself.

Ma Hui knew that her man was lazy and wanted him to grow rice than the sun was going to hit the west, so what she wanted was the two acres of dry land, and she would always earn more money after growing sweet potatoes in a year.

"Or I and Shaomin would want those two acres of dry land. The dry land would not produce any good things, so I would give the better paddy fields to Shaoan." Ma Hui said generously.

"Okay, the paddy fields belong to me." Li Shaoan agreed very readily.

Tan Hongxia saw it and was anxious in her heart. She shook her head and winked at Li Shaoan, telling him not to agree.

However, Li Shaoan showed a smile to my sister-in-law that I had no worries, but I had my own ideas.

"Shaoguo, how can a college student bear the bitterness of growing rice..." Tan Hongxia wanted her man to talk again, but no matter what, the person who made the final decision was Li Shaoguo.

Li Shaoguo had nothing to say yet, but Li Shaoan had already stood up, confident and calm.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, how can I stump Li Shaoan if a few acres of paddy fields be stumped?"

Ma Hui clapped her hands and flattered her: "Well said, our Shaoan is worthy of being a pride of heaven who came out of college. My third sister-in-law also believes that you can grow well. Let everyone see what you have learned in the best universities in the country over the years."

Tan Hongxia glanced at Ma Hui hatefully, you are digging holes and praising them. Why is this so conspiring for a mu of land?

Tan Hongxia glared at Li Shaoguo again and cursed in her heart, "You big brother said something, how could you watch Shaoan jump into the pit?"

Shaoan, Shaoan, why don’t you listen to your sister-in-law’s advice? You are so young and don’t understand the difficulties. Tan Hongxia said anxiously: “Shaoan, listen to my sister-in-law, you have never been to the ground and have never suffered such hardship…”

Li Shaoan stopped Tan Hongxia's words.
