Rubbing his temples with both hands, Li Heng allowed himself to calm down and continue writing.
About an hour later, Tian Run'e, who was helping the kitchen at Chen's house, came back. Seeing that there was still a faint dim light coming from the second floor, she entered her kitchen.
After a while, Tian Run'e brought a bowl of egg custard and put it on the desk:
"Man Zai, eat it while it's hot. It'll cool down later."
Li Heng knew his mother's temper too well, so he didn't say anything and finished the egg custard in one breath under her gaze.
After he finished eating, Tian Run'e pointed at the noodles and asked, "Who sent it?"
Li Heng said: "Sister."
This answer did not surprise her. In her opinion, the second and third children had bad tempers and could not bear to do this.
It’s just that the boss is heartless and spends all his time being silly and happy.
This made her wonder for a while, whose father is the boss? Why is he so crazy?
Tian Run'e didn't ask him if he wanted to eat the bowl of noodles, but took the initiative to put it away.
When she opened the door and was about to walk out of the room, Li Heng couldn't help but turn around and said, "Mom, the second sister is probably not asleep yet."
The reason why he is so sure is because Li Lan studies harder than him, and is often still studying and reading at two in the morning.
In rural areas, there is actually nothing that can be done about it. She has to help with household chores during the day, and can only squeeze out some time at night.
Tian Run'e glanced at her second daughter's single room and said angrily: "She said she wanted to lose weight, but she didn't eat!"
Li Heng's face twitched when he heard this, and he remained silent.
Probably the second sister felt that her own mother never made midnight snacks for her when she was not at home, so the egg custard she had today was at his advantage, so she refused to eat it. She was so stubborn.
Without a watch and not knowing the specific time, he woke up in the middle of the night due to urination and found that the kerosene lamp was still on in his second sister's room.
Thinking that the girl was too sleepy and fell asleep, she forgot to put out the kerosene lamp, and the second floor was full of firewood. Worried about the fire hazard, Li Heng grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open.
Huh?
Can't push it open, is the bolt inside knocked down?
With this thought, Li Heng put his head to the gap and looked inside.
Oh, what a guy!
It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, once he looked at it, his eyes immediately shot to his forehead.
What do you think this second sister is doing?
She secretly ate some sweet wine, using a vegetable bowl. It was such a big bowl, even bigger than her face.
Probably sensing the movement outside the door, Li Lan turned around and glanced sideways, then turned around and put out the kerosene lamp.
Li Heng knocked on the door and shouted in a low voice: "Second sister, don't you have a stomachache? The doctor said you can't take sweet wine, why are you still taking it?"
In his childhood memories, three things about his second sister left the deepest impression on him:
One is spicy.
The second one is greedy.
Three were stomachaches.
Her stomach pain seemed to have started in the second year of junior high school. When she got up every morning, she would lie on the threshold holding her stomach and vomit water, looking very painful.
In order to see a doctor for her, the whole family took great pains. They carried her out every morning before dawn and visited doctors everywhere.
Including the health hospital in the town.
Including famous barefoot doctors from all over the world.
This persistence lasted for more than a year, which made everyone in Lao Li's family very tired and exhausted mentally and physically.
Ironically, the doctors at the town health center didn't know what kind of disease she had. They couldn't detect it through examination, so they randomly prescribed some medicine for her. As a result, the more she took, the more pain she got.
Later, a doctor who retired from the army told them that it was probably a stomach problem and suggested that they try taking ranitidine.
Li Heng remembers very clearly that the retired military doctor prescribed ranitidine for 3 yuan at that time. The effect was very good. After taking it for just over a week, the pain seemed to go away.
Seeing that he had clearly seen the sweet wine in the bowl, Li Lan, who was still swallowing quietly in the dark, paused, stopped pretending, and started eating again.
My family is poor these days, and I don't have much to eat in my spare time. Sweet wine and jars of vegetables are the few things that can be eaten as snacks.
But the doctor and Tian Run'e explicitly prohibited her from touching these two things.
But she is a foodie by nature and has a greedy mouth, so what should she do?
I can only endure it.
If you really can't bear it, you have to wait until everyone is asleep and get up in the middle of the night to eat secretly.
Li Heng thinks that he is also a foodie, but compared with his second sister, he feels inferior and feels inferior.
He immediately tried to threaten her: "If you still eat, I will call your parents to come up..."
"Clang!"
She never thought that he had finished what he said, but there was a clang and she kicked the door.
The sudden vibration of the door panel startled Li Heng who was leaning against the door.
After that, no one spoke inside or outside the door, and it was extremely quiet for a while.
After a while, the door opened a crack, and a bowl clattered out in the dark night.
Seeing this, Li Heng felt happy for no reason, and secretly thought that one thing is going to bring another thing down. The second sister who is not afraid of anything today can only be cured by moving out Comrade Tian Run'e.
But the next moment, his face fell. The bowl was empty, and the bottom of the bowl was actually cleaner than a dog licking it.
Li Heng was convinced and angrily took an empty bowl and went to the first floor.
That night, he slept very well after being tired from writing.
If it hadn't been for the yelling and screaming coming from outside early in the morning, he wouldn't have woken up and could still sleep.
Um?
Why is it the second sister’s voice?
Looks like you are quarreling with someone?
Li Heng, who was still a little confused at first, confirmed that it was his second sister who was yelling, and immediately he lost all sleep and got up.
Who is this blind? How dare you quarrel with our second sister?
Can you tolerate the scolding?
Aren't you looking for abuse?
After putting on clothes and shoes, Li Heng hurried to the first floor. As soon as his right foot came out of the threshold, he saw rows of people watching tricks on the road.
There were men, women, old and young, and they were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. They kept shouting and shouting.
A quick glance showed that almost everyone from the two nearby production teams was there, and the people who had gone to Chen's house to help all ran out to watch.
After Li Heng tried his best to squeeze into the crowd, he finally knew who the unlucky guy was?
It turned out to be Fat Aunt, a woman with a long tongue.
After listening to the discussions among his neighbors, he figured out the whole story:
Li Lan, who was doing some hogweeding this morning, learned from others that the fat aunt chewed Li Jianguo and Li Heng's tongues behind their backs yesterday, and also contradicted Tian Run'e in front of them, and she immediately became furious.
She immediately stopped cutting the pig grass, picked up a sickle, and found the fat aunt who was pulling radishes in the field and started verbally speaking.
At first, the fat aunt was not convinced. After all, she is also a well-known good at tearing apart. She has lived for decades. What kind of posture has she not seen before?
The men, women, and children who have been defeated by her can fill rivers and build dams. How can they lose their momentum in front of a girl?
So the two of them greeted each other's ancestors in the field...
But when Li Lan came over and slapped her unreasonably a few times, the soul of the fat aunt with disheveled hair was knocked away. She tried to fight back, but she was grabbed by the hair and rubbed in the dirt. She couldn't be scolded and scolded, and she was no match for him, so what?
The whole time, I had no choice but to run home crying and shouting.
Li Lan had been accustomed to being strong since she was a child, and she would not show mercy to others when she was in a position of strength. She chased him all the way along the field ridge until he reached the Liang family.
The gray man named Liang wanted to help his wife, but he was less than 1.58 meters tall, while Li Lan was 1.67 meters tall. He was completely overwhelmed when he stood together.
Seeing how useless and useless her husband was, the fat aunt opened her teeth and screamed, and was so frightened that she quickly closed the door!
As soon as the door was closed, the fat aunt, who had just been like a bereaved dog, felt a little more confident again, and started to dance through the window, pointing and cursing.
Li Lan didn't want to tolerate her, so he kicked the window, causing three wooden window lattice to break.
Seeing that neither the door nor the window could stop this fierce spirit, the fat aunt was frightened again. She turned around and ran to the bedroom, locked the door, and burst into tears.
This time, the fat aunt was so scared that she didn't dare to scold Li Lan. Instead, she started cursing her husband and daughter-in-law. She scolded two living people for not being able to stop a yellow-haired girl. She scolded them for being useless and letting outsiders bully them into the house.
, scolding the two of them for only caring about having an affair and not caring about her life or death.
Seeing this woman's indiscriminate behavior and the fact that there was no affection between husband and wife, Liang Pahui's face darkened and he immediately ignored her. He let Li Lan break down the door and tear down the window. Amidst a burst of ridicule, he left the scene in despair.
After the father-in-law left, the daughter-in-law, who had always been at odds with her mother-in-law, would not stop her. She followed his example and returned to her parents' home in the next village.
This is really a good show, a big show! Half of the people in Shangwan Village were stunned.
Everyone knew that Li Lan was a very talkative person and no one dared to mess with him, but he didn't expect that he was so powerful that he even chased her home with a sickle.
The village officials heard the sound and rushed over.
Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e also rushed over, and there were many people, including Chen Gaoyuan, who all stopped Li Lan and said nice things to calm her down.
Li Lan was a bad guy, but he had a very high emotional intelligence. When he saw all the famous people in the village coming, he threatened the fat aunt at the gate of Liang's house, and then he chose to get off the donkey and give up as soon as she was good.
On the way home, Li Lan looked like a god of war, and the surrounding villagers automatically moved out of the way as they tutted.
Chen Zitong came and when he saw Li Lan looking over, he hurriedly averted his eyes.
Chen Xiaomi was also there, but she was not afraid of Li Lan. After the two women looked at each other meaningfully for a few times, they went home.
