Chapter 281： Tired

Chapter 281 Tired

For the sake of his nephew and his sister, he had to stand up and take care of the family, as long as he lived. I can't make my nephew sad anymore, this is all the fault of his sister, and he, the younger brother, can only bear it.

Father Li and his two children had been on the road for a day. All three were tired and wanted to fall asleep.

Li Xiaoyu gave them the water bottle. After drinking the water, his tiredness eased, but he was still very tired. It is a kind of mental fatigue, and people are groggy when they walk.

"Old man, let's find a place to shelter from the wind and take a break! Too tired!"

Father Li heard his youngest daughter say he was tired, and he also felt very tired: "Okay, let's take a break, it's really tiring!"

The three of them were each wrapped in a quilt, and on the leeward hillside, the three of them leaned against each other. Li's father and Li Chengji soon started snoring, and after Li Xiaoyu set the alarm clock, he also fell asleep with his father and brother.

An hour later, the alarm clock rang, and the three of them were awakened by the alarm clock. When they opened their eyes and found it was pitch black, they realized that they were sleeping directly under the hillside.

"Come on, it's only an hour before dawn, we have to get to Grandma's house before dawn."

Li Xiaoyu said as he put away the quilt and threw it into the space. He gave the kettle and steamed buns to the two of them, and the three of them ate while walking, using the fastest speed.

When finally there was a hint of fish belly white in the sky, I rushed to Grandma Du's house. As Li Xiaoyu waved, five sacks appeared at the door.

She and Li Chengji sat directly on the sack to rest their feet. After driving for more than a hundred miles, their feet were blistered. Every step they took was in severe pain, but she didn't say anything. Now that I sit down, I don't want to get up again.

"Second brother, I'll wait for a while!" Li Xiaoyu leaned on Li Chengji, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Father Li called to open the door and let Uncle Du carry the sack by himself. He was also very tired and wanted to sit on the ground and fall asleep.

But he saw that his son and daughter were sitting next to each other and fell asleep with their heads down. He couldn't bear the journey all night long, let alone two children. Especially the youngest daughter, he felt that he was most sorry for this child, and she had to follow her to do everything.

It's really a blessing from two lifetimes, and only then will the relationship between father and daughter continue.

The Du family were all woken up, and all they saw when they went out were the two sleeping siblings sitting on the sack and leaning against each other.

Li's father couldn't bear to wake up the two children, but when it was dawn, many people went out, and the food would be discovered, which would bring great trouble to the Du family.

He patted the brothers and sisters on the face, woke them up, and they stood up in a daze. Li Xiaoyu's feet hit the ground, and she grinned in pain and kept breathing.

"Are your feet soaked?" Grandma Du asked with concern when she saw that she was standing on tiptoe and did not dare to put it down.

"Grandma, it's fine, just a few bubbles, it will be fine in a few days!"

"If you don't pick it, how can you get better soon! Come on, sit down, grandma will pick it for you. Inherit, do you have any on your feet? If there is, grandma will pick it for you too."

Li Chengji is embarrassed to let an old man pick on himself, he can do these things himself.

"Grandma, no need, you can choose for the little sister."

Aunt Du brought water for them. After washing up, Grandma Du picked up Li Xiaoyu's feet and found that the soles of her feet were full of blisters.

The old man's eyes were red, he looked up and was about to say a few words of reproach, but he saw Li Xiaoyu sitting, leaning against the wall and falling asleep again.

"Yanyang, look at how tired the child is! She can fall asleep even with blisters all over her feet. Didn't she say anything about the pain?"

Li's father and Li Chengji deeply blamed themselves. None of them thought about this problem at the beginning. They only thought that she was fast and could keep up, or they were careless.

After all, she was a girl, and Pi Nen had not traveled so much. The two adults were exhausted, not to mention Xiao Yuer, an eleven-year-old girl.

She just kept walking all the way without saying a word. Li Chengji turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. The little girl was too sensible to endure everything without causing trouble to others.

He really hoped that the little sister would cause him more trouble, or play a temper like other girls, get angry, and clamor for things and new clothes.

"Grandma, let the little sister sleep, she's too tired!"

Grandma Du picked the blisters on Li Xiaoyu's feet with red eyes, and she didn't wake up until she finished picking.

When Li Xiaoyu woke up, it was already three poles in the sun. She found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed, and suddenly turned over and jumped out of bed. Finding her feet covered with strips of cloth, she reluctantly stood on the ground.

Aunt Du, who heard the movement, came in and saw her standing on the ground, looking around the house.

"Little Yu'er, wake up, it's time to eat! Today is the dish that your grandmother cooked herself, so go out and try it! Auntie will carry you!"

"No, thank you auntie, I can walk by myself, you can just help me, just take a few more steps and get used to it."

A bowl of pickled red avocado leaves on the dinner table, the best is a bowl of steamed eggs, the bowl has the aroma of lard, this may be the most precious food of the Du family.

"Little Yu'er, try the steamed eggs that Grandma made." Grandma Du scooped Li Xiaoyu into a bowl with a spoon and looked at her with a smile on her face.

"It's tender and fragrant, delicious! Thank you grandma, you can eat it too."

Grandma Du already knew about Li Ma from Father Li, and also knew that Father Li was going to study in the provincial capital for two years in September. Someone at home had to take care of Ma Li, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to support her alone.

Because of her daughter, Grandma Du felt sorry for the child and wanted to do something to make up for her daughter's fault so that there would be no gap between mother and daughter.

The battle between mother and daughter is not easy. Thinking of her own mother who died at a young age, she also became a piece of grass and was targeted by her stepmother in various ways.

As the saying goes: if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. In order to please the stepmother and the son she gave birth to, her father sold her, or sold her to such a remote place, deliberately not letting her go home. .

At the moment she was sold, she had no intention of going home. Although she was not reconciled, she still wanted to live for her mother. Because her mother told her before she died that if she wanted her to live well, no matter how difficult it was, she had to live for her mother, otherwise it would not be her daughter.

I haven't seen my mother's family since I was a child, and I don't know if there is any family. Maybe I will never meet again in this life. Who would care about a child without a mother.

Grandma Du decided to go to the county town before Father Li left. If she didn't break the snowflakes, she would watch her every day and even beat her out.

How can    own children be so neglected? That's not what a mother should do at all.

"Little Yu'er, is grandma welcome to your house?"

"Really, grandma, you are definitely welcome!" Li Xiaoyu said happily, of course, grandma can go, of course, someone supervises my mother, so she doesn't have to worry about it, which is a good thing!
