Chapter 172 Relaxed And Relieved

Chapter 172 relaxed

Li Haitang had vaguely heard many talkative villagers talk about this before, but he never knew why Li Xiaoqin didn't agree with her marriage to Li Xiaolin. For a woman, she could understand her anger at the time. It was Li Xiaoqin who ruined her brother and her. No wonder she hated each other so much, and even herself who hated Li Xiaoqin so much.

Every time she saw her face more and more like Li Xiaoqin's, she would think of her unhappy marriage, unhappy family, and the decadent life of her big brother. That's why every time she saw her, she cursed and spat at her, blaming her for all their misfortunes.

At this moment, Li Haitang was relieved.

She could understand Li Jianhong. A middle-aged woman who had been tortured by her family and marriage only needed a vent, and she was implicated by Li Xiaoqin and had been her punching bag for 15 years.

Obviously, she wasn't as great as Li Jianguo, she couldn't be as magnanimous as her brother, and she couldn't get out of that dead end.

That's why her life went from bad to worse to divorce. Fortunately, the divorce was another turning point, and she finally came to her senses as she walked further and further along the side road. At the critical moment, she was dragged back by her big brother to the road that was now quite spacious.

"Li Xiaoqin is sorry, big brother. She knows she has no face to see him, so she didn't dare to come back for more than ten years. And I'm sorry, big brother. Maybe she wouldn't change her mind if I didn't always argue with Li Xiaoqin because of my jealousy. And then it was Deng Wenfang I introduced to my big brother, who introduced such a shameless woman to him as his wife. He was such a good person and she had put on a green hat. His heart was already hurting, and he endured humiliation and humiliation for so many years. I was the one who wronged him, and I had no face to see him." Speaking of this, the tears in Li Jianhong's eyes were like a river that had burst its banks, surging down and collapsing for thousands of miles.

Li Haitang's throat tightened, and his heart was so tight that he pressed his slightly pale lips tightly.

Both of them were too engrossed, one immersed in endless memories, the other immersed in thousands of thoughts, and did not notice a person standing outside the door.

Li Tao originally wanted to go upstairs and ask Li Haitang for help to make a bowl of pork, and bring it to Li Ting tomorrow, but he didn't expect to hear such a thing. His father's first half of his life had been so difficult. There were so many things weighing on his heart. It was his mother who had hurt him, Sister hoi tong's mother who had wronged him, and these two women who had changed his life.

In his opinion, aunt didn't make too many mistakes, and the harm she caused to father was not unsolvable. He saw her kindness to his father and knew in his heart that she was making amends.

Now he finally understood why his aunt was so stubborn and disliked Sister hoi tong. Although he knew that it was wrong for her to involve others without reason, he could understand her feelings. He sighed deeply. He admired his father's forbearance and his magnanimity.

Li Jianhong, who had calmed down in the room, noticed him while he was in a state of confusion. His voice was a little hoarse, "Taoer, you, when did you stand there?"

Li Haitang, who had been lowering his head, frowned slightly. He stood up and walked over to open the door. He saw Li Tao standing stiffly outside the door. Looking at his expression, she guessed that he should have heard it just now. Her voice was a little unnatural, "You heard it all?"

"Yes, I heard everything." Li Tao's throat was a little dry and his voice was a little hoarse.

The three of them were silent, not knowing what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Li Haitang turned sideways and broke the silence first, "That woman betrayed dad. She's sorry for dad. I..."

"She's her, you're you. You have nothing to do with her, right?" Li Tao interrupted her and said in advance.

His words, like a warm spring breeze, dispelled the sour feeling in Li Haitang's heart, and a smile rose from the corner of her mouth, "Well, she is her, I am me, I have nothing to do with her, I am your family. My father is Li Jianguo, and my brother is Li Tao. I treat you well, not to atone for her sins, but to be a family that should love each other."

"Yes." Li Tao pursed his lips and smiled, not as good-looking as a grin, but it was obvious that his smile was genuine joy and joy.

Li Jianhong, who was standing behind Li Haitang, also showed a smile. There was comfort, emotion, happiness, relief and relaxation.

The heavy past was swept away by the two of them, and they did not bring it up again in the future. They still acted as if they did not know anything about it and got along with each other as easily and happily as they used to.

"Did you come to see me for something?" Li Haitang tidied up his mood and changed the subject to talk about other things.

Li Tao put his hands into his pockets on both sides of his clothes and returned to his usual natural state. "I want to ask you for a favor. Now go to the kitchen and make a bowl of button meat. I want to bring it to the prison tomorrow morning for my sister to eat."

"Okay, let's go." Li Haitang turned around and looked at Li Jianhong. Seeing that she was already in good shape, he nodded at her.

After watching an episode of television in the small living room, Liu Fen walked to the kitchen behind with an empty thermos. Seeing that the three of them were still busy in the kitchen, he was slightly surprised, "Ah, haitang, didn't you go to read a book? What are you doing?"

Li Haitang was passing through the brine with pork in his hand. He looked up and smiled at her, "Aunt Fen, Li Tao and jin qiao are going to the county to see Li Ting tomorrow. She likes to eat pork buttons. We'll make her a bowl tonight and bring it to her tomorrow."

"Oh, I see." Liu Fen put the thermos on the chopping board and saw Li Jianhong rubbing things in the basin on the cupboard next to him. He walked over and didn't see what he was doing. He asked, "Jianhong, what are you doing again?"

Li Jianhong's voice was still a little hoarse, "I'm making dumplings. I want to cook them tonight and cook them for everyone tomorrow morning."

"Tuan zi?" Li Tao, who was surrounded by the fire and looking at the meat, was slightly surprised. His voice was raised by several points and he rushed over with joy. His eyes shone brightly, "Auntie, are you the kind of dumpling that grandma used to be best at?"

Li jianhong smiled and said, "Yes. Since your grandmother passed away, I don't think we've made dumplings at home for the new year, have we?"

"No, my mom can't. She can only eat. Neither can second aunt Third aunt, nor can Sister hoi tong." Li Tao answered truthfully.

Li Haitang searched his mind for a long time, but found not many memories.

Seeing her struggling face, Li Tao remembered something. He turned to her and said awkwardly, "When grandma was alive, she didn't even make dumplings for you, so you probably didn't eat them."

Li Haitang: ..." No wonder she didn't remember the taste of the dumpling. In her memory, his grandmother really didn't like her very much. All the other grandchildren had a share of delicious food, but she didn't. Thinking about it now, his grandmother must have known about Li Xiaoqin's ingratitude.

She curled her lips. The original owner was such a poor child. He was implicated by that terrible mother.

Liu Fen saw that she was not angry and smiled to change the subject, "Jian hong, you can teach me how to make this dumpling. Tao er likes it so much. It should taste good. When I learn it, I'll make it for everyone."

"Okay."

Li Jianhong liked the new sister-in-law more and more. She was very good at life and really loved her nephew. After finishing the initial kneading process, she asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have a piece of sugar, red dates, sesame or something at home?"

"All of them. Wait a minute. I'll get them now." Liu Fen strode out.

Li Tao smelled the familiar fragrance and suddenly felt hungry. He smiled and said, "Auntie, let's cook a bowl later. How about that?"

"Hehe, sure. Start the woodstove. Put a ladle of water in the pot and cook it. Everyone will eat a bowl before going to bed." Li Jianhong was in a good mood now. After he told her everything that was weighing on his heart, he felt relaxed.

Not long after, Liu Fen came over with a few small bags, followed by Li Jianguo and Duan Jinqiao who were still awake.

Liu fen washed the dates and joked with a smile, "They are all delicious ghosts. When I said that jianhong was making dumplings, the two of them didn't even watch the tv series anymore, so they came over to wait for food."

Li Jianguo rarely smiled lightly, "You should follow jian hong and learn to do it. The children love to eat this. Make more tomorrow and give some to the families of the second and third brothers. Let them try your cooking too."

"Okay."

Duan Jinqiao had already washed his hands. He walked to the side and asked, "Auntie, I washed my hands. Tell me what to do?"

"Jin qiao, wait a minute. Wait until aunt kneades the noodles." Li Jianhong also liked the daughter brought by his sister-in-law. She was very obedient and diligent, and her mouth was especially sweet. She smiled when she saw people. She was a good child who was praised by everyone.

A circle of people gathered around to watch Li Jianhong knead his noodles, and the skin of the pork on Li Haitang's side was too well marinated. The meat was scooped up and placed on the chopping board next to it to cool down. Li Tao cut up the dried plum vegetables he had brewed before and put them in a small iron pot to fry. Cut the cold meat into chopstick-wide slices of even thickness and place them in a large bowl with a variety of seasonings. At last, put dried plum on the bottom of the bowl, and then put the meat neatly and neatly into a steamer on a small stove to steam.

After finishing the pork buttons, she went over and watched them make dumplings. When she saw the uneven shapes of the big and small dumplings in the dustpan, she curled her lips and smiled, "These dumplings, hehe, you really made them according to your body shape. You can see them at a glance."

It was rare for Li Jianguo to be the first to laugh. The others looked at him and laughed together.
