Chapter 7: , A character like a hero
Rubbing his temples with both hands, Li Heng tried his best to calm his mind and continue writing.
About an hour later, Tian Run'e, who was helping in the kitchen at the Chen family, came back. Seeing that there was still a faint dim yellow light on the second floor, she entered her own kitchen.
Not long after, Tian Run'e brought a bowl of egg custard to the desk:
"Full cub, eat it while it's hot, it will be cold later."
Li Heng knew his mother's temper too well, didn't say anything, and finished the egg custard in one breath under her gaze.
After he finished eating, Tian Run'e pointed to the saonoodles and asked: "Who sent it?"
Li Heng said: "Eldest sister."
This answer didn't exceed her expectations. In her cognition, the second and third were stubborn tempers, and they couldn't lower their faces to do this.
Only the eldest was heartless, happy and silly all day long.
This made her suspect, whose seed is the eldest? How can she be so big-hearted?
Tian Run'e didn't ask if he ate the noodles, but automatically packed them away.
Just as she was about to walk out of the room, Li Heng couldn't help but look back: "Mom, Second Sister should not be asleep yet."
The reason why he was so sure was because Li Lan was even more diligent in her studies than him, often brushing questions and reading books until two o'clock in the morning.
In the countryside, this is actually a helpless thing. She has to help the family with work during the day, and only at night can she squeeze out some time.
Tian Run'e glanced at the second daughter's single room and said angrily: "She said she's losing weight, she won't eat!"
Li Heng felt his face twitch and didn't make a sound.
It was probably because the second sister felt that when she wasn't at home, her mother never made her a midnight snack, and today's egg custard was also taking advantage of him, so she refused to eat. Hard-hearted.
No watch, and didn't know the specific time, when he was woken up by urine in the middle of the night, he actually found that the kerosene lamp in the second sister's room was still on.
Thinking that this sister should be too sleepy and forgot to cover the kerosene lamp, and the second floor was full of firewood, Li Heng, worried about fire hazards, held the door handle and pushed the door.
Huh?
Can't push it, is it bolted from inside?
With this thought, Li Heng put his head to the gap and looked inside.
Whoa, good guy!
It's not a big deal to look, but when he looked, his eyes instantly stared at his forehead.
Guess what this second sister is doing?
She is actually stealing food, stealing sweet wine, and using a vegetable bowl, such a big bowl, heh, bigger than her face.
Probably noticing the movement outside the door, Li Lan turned her head and glanced, then turned around and extinguished the kerosene lamp.
Li Heng knocked on the door panel and shouted in a low voice: "Second Sister, aren't you having a stomachache? The doctor said you can't eat sweet wine, why are you still eating?"
In childhood memories, the second sister left him with three deepest impressions:
One is sharpness.
Two is gluttony.
Three is stomachache.
Her stomachache seemed to start in the first year of junior high. Every morning, she would cover her stomach and vomit clear water on the threshold, looking very painful.
In order to treat her illness, the whole family racked their brains, and every morning before dawn, they carried her out to visit doctors everywhere.
Including the health hospital in the town.
Including famous barefoot doctors in various places.
This persistence lasted for more than a year, tossing everyone in the old Li family to the point of exhaustion.
The irony is that in the town health center, those doctors didn't know what disease she had? They couldn't check it out, so they prescribed some medicine indiscriminately, and the result was more painful the more she ate.
Later, a doctor who retired from the army told them that it should be a stomach disease and suggested taking Ranitidine to try.
Li Heng remembered very clearly that the retired military doctor prescribed 3 yuan worth of Ranitidine at that time, and the effect was very good. After only a week or so of taking it, the pain seemed to have gone away.
Seeing that he saw the sweet wine in the bowl, Li Lan, who was still swallowing quietly in the dark, paused, simply stopped pretending, and ate it in big mouthfuls again.
This era is poor, heh, there is nothing to eat in leisure time, sweet wine and jar vegetables are one of the few things that can be eaten as snacks.
But the doctor and Tian Run'e strictly forbade her to touch these two things.
But she was born a foodie, gluttonous, heh, what can she do?
She could only endure it.
If she really couldn't help it, she had to wait until everyone was asleep and climb up in the middle of the night to steal it.
Li Heng considered himself a foodie, but compared to the second sister, he bowed down and was inferior.
He immediately tried to threaten her: "If you still eat, I will call Mom and Dad up..."
"Clang!"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, only to see a clang, she kicked the door panel.
The sudden vibration of the door panel gave Li Heng, who was sticking to the door, a big fright.
Next, neither inside nor outside the door spoke, and it was extremely quiet for a while.
After a while, the door opened a crack, and a bowl was pushed out in the dark night with a clatter.
Seeing this, Li Heng felt a burst of joy in his heart, secretly saying that one thing really subdues another, this fearless second sister is really only manageable by moving out Comrade Tian Run'e.
But the next moment, his face collapsed. The bowl inside was empty, and the bottom of the bowl was even cleaner than what a dog had licked.
Li Heng was convinced, and went to the first floor with an empty bowl.
This night, he, who was tired from writing, slept extremely well.
If it weren't for the shouting and screaming outside early in the morning, he wouldn't have woken up and could still sleep.
Hmm?
Why is it the second sister's voice?
Seems to be scolding someone?
Originally still a bit confused, Li Heng confirmed that it was the second sister's scolding voice, and instantly lost all sleepiness, climbing up.
Who is this blind person? Daring to scold the second sister?
Can she out-scold her?
Isn't this looking for abuse?
Dressing and putting on shoes, Li Heng hurried to the first floor. As soon as his right foot stepped out of the threshold, he saw rows of people watching the play on the road.
There were men, women, old, and young, surrounding three layers inside and three layers outside, shouting and cheering in their mouths.
A rough glance, almost all the people from the two production teams nearby were there, and the people who went to help the Chen family all ran out to watch.
After Li Heng squeezed into the crowd with all his strength, he finally knew who the unlucky ghost was?
It turned out to be Auntie Fatty, the gossiping woman.
Listening to the neighbors' discussion, he understood the cause of the matter:
Early this morning, Li Lan, who was pulling pig grass, learned from others that Auntie Fatty had chewed the tongue of Li Jianguo and Li Heng behind her back yesterday and even confronted Tian Run'e, and was instantly furious.
She immediately didn't cut pig grass, took a sickle, and found Auntie Fatty, who was pulling radishes in the field, for a verbal output.
At first, Auntie Fatty was unconvinced. She was a well-known tearing-bitch expert in the distance, lived for decades, what kind of battle hadn't she seen?
Everyone who was defeated by her mouth could fill the river and build a dam. How could she weaken her momentum in front of a yellow-haired girl?
So the two greeted each other's ancestors in the field...
But when Li Lan went over and gave her a few unreasonable slaps, the disheveled Auntie Fatty's soul was drawn away, trying to fight back, but was grabbed by the hair and rubbed in the soil, couldn't scold, couldn't fight, what to do? She had to cry and shout and run home.
Li Lan was used to being strong since childhood, didn't forgive people, chased madly along the ridge, and chased straight to the Liang family.
The Liang-surnamed pervert originally wanted to help his wife, but he was less than 1.58 meters tall, while Li Lan was a full 1.67 meters tall, and the momentum was completely crushed when standing together.
Seeing her husband so useless, seeing her husband so cowardly, Auntie Fatty screamed and screamed, scared to close the door immediately!
Once the door was closed, Auntie Fatty, who was just like a dog, felt a bit of confidence again, jumping like a god through the window, pointing and cursing.
Li Lan didn't bother to get used to her, kicked the window, and three wooden window lattices broke in response.
Seeing that neither the door nor the window could stop this fierce god, Auntie Fatty's soul was scared away again, turned and ran to the bedroom, locked the door, and cried bitterly.
This time Auntie Fatty was scared to the extreme, didn't dare to scold Li Lan, and instead cursed her husband and daughter-in-law, cursing the two living people for not being able to stop a yellow-haired girl, cursing the two for being useless and letting outsiders bully them to their home, cursing the two for only caring about stealing love and not caring about her life or death.
Seeing this woman scolding indiscriminately, the Liang-surnamed pervert, who had no feelings between husband and wife, had a black face, and immediately ignored it, leaving Li Lan to break the door and dismantle the window. Amidst a burst of mocking laughter, he left the scene in a gray way.
The father-in-law left, and the daughter-in-law, who had always been at odds with her mother-in-law, was even less likely to stop it, and followed suit, returning to her maiden home in the neighboring village.
This is truly a good play, a big play! It stunned half of the people in Shangwan Village.
Everyone knew Li Lan's mouth was powerful and no one dared to provoke her, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful, heh, even taking a sickle to chase people to their home.
The village cadres arrived at the sound.
Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e also rushed over, and many others, Chen Gaoyuan was also there, all blocking Li Lan to say good things, extinguishing her fire.
Li Lan was fierce, but her EQ was extremely high. Seeing that the famous people in the village had all come, after threatening Auntie Fatty at the gate of the Liang family, she chose to go down the slope and stop when she saw it.
On the way home, Li Lan was like a god of war, and the watching villagers automatically gave way in the sound of clicking.
Chen Zitong came, and seeing Li Lan look over, she hurriedly avoided her line of sight.
Chen Xiaomi was also there, but she didn't fear Li Lan, and after looking at each other meaningfully for a few times, the two women returned home.
