Shulin can speak, which is a happy thing for the whole family. Even the ** who has never shown a smile rarely smiles happily. , the most is to shout mother, and other things don't like to say. When Li Hehua taught, he said it once, and then he didn't say it again, even his father only called it once.

Li Hehua guessed that this might be due to Zhang Tieshan's reticent temperament. In addition to talking more to her, Zhang Tieshan usually doesn't speak if he doesn't speak, and does more and says less.

Father and son are very similar in many ways.

Zhang Tieshan's body is very good, and his recovery ability is amazing. His body recovers little by little. At first, he could only stay in bed, but now he can get up and walk slowly. The wounds on his body are gradually healing and growing new. tender meat.

Shulin just started crawling on the bed every day to accompany his poor old father, but now that his father can move, he no longer wants to accompany him in the room, but is like a sticky bag, Li Hehua will go wherever he goes. Wherever you go, hold her thighs back into a leg pendant.

Zhang Tieshan pinched Shulin's chubby cheeks, "Your father doesn't want to accompany you anymore, right? It hurts you in vain!"

Shulin turned his head and broke free from his father's big hand, hugging Li Hehua's legs and burying his face.

Li Hehua patted Zhang Tieshan's hand, "Go, go, don't pinch his face."

Zhang Tieshan grabbed her hand and held it tightly. Seeing that Shulin wasn't paying attention, he kissed the back of her hand and watched her stare at him with a smile in his eyes.

Li Hehua glanced at him and said, "Now you can get out of bed and walk around by yourself, go for a walk in the yard, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook something for you."

This is the season when fruit is abundant. Li Hehua asked Cao Simei to bring some fruit back when she was selling cakes in the town to supplement Zhang Tieshan with some vitamins. Vitamins are also very important for those who are sick.

However, Zhang Tieshan doesn't like to eat fruit, and the little people in the book forest can't eat too much. Li Hehua gave some to Zhang Qingshan and the ** clan to eat. The rest is going to be a fruit dumpling. This thing is sweet and glutinous. , Children love it very much, and Li Hehua plans to launch it as a dessert after the restaurant opens.

Zhang Tieshan touched her head with a smile, "Okay, you can do it, I'll go for a walk in the yard."

Li Hehua turned around and went to the kitchen. Seeing this, Shulin immediately followed her to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xiaohong is making the cakes to be sold tomorrow. Under the guidance of Li Hehua, she can now make the cakes on her own. The taste of the cakes is similar to that made by Li Hehua. She is a teacher. Li Hehua will make cakes every day. The task was handed over to her, and Xiaoqing was there to help.

Li Hehua directly took some glutinous rice flour, added hot water and kneaded it into a dough, then kneaded small balls, and added bean paste filling into them to make small bean paste dumplings.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing asked, "Master, are you making dumplings?"

Li Hehua shook his head, "It's not glutinous rice balls, it's fruit dumplings made from fruits. If you want to learn, come watch me make them."

Using fruits to make desserts is a rare thing here. Xiaohong and Xiaoqing were very interested, they put down what they were doing and came over to watch Li Hehua do it.

Li Hehua peeled the apples, pears, watermelons and mangoes he bought, cut them into small pieces, put them in a sea bowl, and then put water in the pot. When the time is up, add sugar and starch, wait until the rounds in the pot become thick, put out the fire under the stove, put it into a soup bowl, and when it is cool, sprinkle in the prepared diced fruit.

Shulin watched Li Hehua put out the fire, thinking that the mother was ready, pulled Li Hehua's trouser legs, looked up at her, and the little milk sounded glutinous, "Mother"

Li Hehua patted his head, "It's still not good, mother should use well water to ice it a little, it will be more delicious, and it will be fine in a while."

Shulin pursed his lips and nodded.

Afraid that the little guy couldn't wait, Li Hehua hurriedly called a basin of cold well water and put the soup bowl into the basin for cooling. Although there was no refrigerator and no ice, the well water also had some effect.

After about half an hour of ice in the well water, the small round fruit can be eaten. Li Hehua gave Xiaoqing and Xiaohong a bowl, and put the rest into other bowls and carried them out of the kitchen, intending to give everyone a taste. taste.

As a result, as soon as he entered the main room, he saw that there were other people in the main room besides Mrs. Wu, and this person was none other than Mrs. Wu Fang, the mother of Wu Meizi who had troubled her.

Mr. Wu Fang was talking to Mrs. **, and when he saw Li Hehua coming in, his eyes immediately became disdainful, and he said to Mr. **: "Oh, isn't this your former daughter-in-law? Why are you here? I remember Tieshan. It's not Hugh—" Having said that, Wu Fangshi pretended to have said something wrong, and hurriedly stopped, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what she meant.

Mrs. ** did not follow Wu Fang’s back. The main reason is that she doesn’t like Wu Fang’s person very much. Before, Wu Fang’s asked her many times to get married, hoping to marry Wu Meizi to their family Tieshan. My heart was originally moved. Although Wu Meizi has a scar on her face, she is diligent and a good worker. She is respectful when she sees her, and even the scar on her face is to help her. Yes, so, if Wu Meizi became her daughter-in-law, she would still be willing, but because Zhang Tieshan had been unwilling, she couldn't nod her head in agreement.

But who would have thought that when her family Tieshan was about to die this time, none of the Wu family showed up, and Wu Fang, who had been talking about getting married, never even came to see her, or it was because her family Tieshan was going to die. Well. Now that her family Tieshan can get out of bed for a walk, this is coming again.

She could see clearly who this Wu Fangshi was, and she didn't even like Wu Meizi. Now Wu Fangshi is talking about Li Hehua so yin and yang, and she doesn't want to go along with her at all. Although she doesn't like Li Hehua, they came when her son was dying, and took care of her son for so many days. Much better than the Wu family.

Seeing that Mrs. ** didn't answer, Mrs. Wu Fang was embarrassed for a moment, but soon said again: "Hey, old sister, it's not me, Tieshan is with her after all... She lives here like this now. , It is inevitable that people will be misunderstood, if Tieshan finds a wife again, this will become a joke, old sister, you can't ignore it."

Hearing this, Mrs. ** remembered that her son is now Li Hehua, and couldn't help but get angry, glanced at Li Hehua, and snorted.

Li Hehua is about to laugh angrily, this old woman is enough, she still doesn't avoid her when she speaks ill of her, and speaks in front of her, thinking she is easy to bully, right?

Li Hehua placed the tray heavily on the table and made a "snap" sound, which startled Wu Fangshi and **shi, Wu Fangshi patted his chest, pointed at Li Hehua and said angrily: "What are you doing? You are this What's your attitude? This isn't your home, right? You are an outsider who dares to run wild in other people's homes?" After speaking, he looked at Mrs. ** and said, "Old sister, you have to take care of her, she is a concubine who fell in your home. What do you mean? I don't take you seriously!"

**'s face was a little bad.

Li Hehua sneered, "Don't worry about it, I don't think it's your turn to tell me, I'm an outsider and you are an outsider, you are an outsider who points fingers at other people's houses, and you have too thick skin, how dare you talk about others? "

Wu Fang's eyes widened in anger, pointed at Li Hehua and said angrily: "You little bitch, do you say it again?"

Li Hehua said indifferently: "I'll just say it again, you are nosy and thick-skinned!"

Shulin watched Mother and someone quarreled, and clenched Li Hehua's trouser legs worriedly, and called out a little mother in a low voice, but it was covered by Wu Fangshi's loud voice, and Li Hehua didn't hear it.

Shulin saw that Wu Fangshi's fingers were about to poke his mother's face, his brows furrowed, and he was angry.

He thought about it, loosened Li Hehua's trouser legs, ran out on his short legs, and slipped out at once, no one noticed him.

Shulin ran into the yard, but he didn't see his father, so he ran out again, and ran all the way to the door. He saw his father and his second uncle by the pond not far from the door, clenched their fists, and ran over like a gust of wind. , almost fell in the middle.

Zhang Tieshan saw Shulin stumbling towards him, with a straight face, and he didn't care that he couldn't leave quickly, so he hurried forward to catch Shulin, "Shulin, what's wrong?"

Shulin gasped for breath and pointed his little finger in the direction of home, "Mother-mother-"

Zhang Tieshan's face sank, and he hurriedly handed the book forest to Zhang Qingshan, who had caught up, and strode home.

Zhang Qingshan also felt bad, picked up Shulin and ran back home.

As soon as Zhang Tieshan entered the house, he heard Wu Fang scolding Li Hehua, "You shameless bitch, you have been divorced, and you are still begging to stay in someone's house and don't leave. If you speak out, you will laugh your teeth. The mountains don't want you anymore, and you are still holding on to it, you are shameless!"

Zhang Tieshan clenched his fists in anger and shouted angrily, "Enough!"

With a roar, everyone was startled, Wu Fang was so frightened that he shut his mouth, and when he saw Zhang Tieshan, he was immediately frightened, and said quietly: "Tieshan, I heard that you are alright, come to see you, by the way. chatting with your mother..."

Zhang Tieshan's face was dark and he said angrily: "I don't know how to scold my wife and insult my wife? When will it be your turn to intervene in our family's affairs?"

Wu Fangshi's face turned pale, and was frightened by the anger on Zhang Tieshan's face. She insisted and said, "Tieshan, she has been divorced by you. How can she be your wife? Are you wrong?"

Zhang Tieshan said with a sullen face: "Is it my wife, do you want to tell me? She is my wife and the owner of this family. What does it mean for my aunt to scold others at other people's homes?"

Mrs. Wu Fang was completely faceless by Zhang Tieshan's merciless words, but he couldn't refute it in his mouth, so he looked at Mrs. **, "Old sister, don't you care? You are the master of the house!"

Mr. ** moved his mouth, looked at Zhang Tieshan who was full of anger, and said to Mrs. Wu Fang, "Go back, we don't need you to take care of our family affairs."

Wu Fangshi was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he also knew that he couldn't please people today, so he stood up and said, "It's good, it's not good for you, you don't appreciate it, and I won't be annoying here anymore!" He rushed away in anger.

When passing by Zhang Tieshan, Zhang Tieshan suddenly kicked the stool beside his feet. The stool was thrown against the wall with a loud noise, and then bounced back, almost killing Wu Fangshi.

"Ah—" Wu Fangshi shouted, and was so frightened that he ran away with his head turned pale, and disappeared all of a sudden.

The person who disturbed the trouble left, and the room suddenly became quiet. Mrs. ** looked at Zhang Tieshan's face that had not yet recovered. She felt a little guilty and sat without speaking.

Li Hehua didn't want to face this scene and said anything was inappropriate, so he just didn't say anything, he picked up Shulin's bowl of fruit balls and waved at Shulin, "Shulin, go, mother will take you to eat."

Seeing his mother calling, Shulin quickly broke free from his second uncle's embrace and ran to Li Hehua.

Li Hehua took Shulin to the room where he was living now, closed the door, and hugged Shulin to feed him fruit dumplings, by the way, to calm down the depressed mood just now.

Others in the main room watched Li Hehua close the door, and the atmosphere became even worse.

Zhang Tieshan looked at Mrs. ** and said solemnly, "Mother, she is your daughter-in-law, so you just let others scold her at home?"

** Shi Na, hesitantly said: "She came to see you, you can't drive people away..." Seeing that the two sons were looking at her with ugly expressions, they swallowed the next words and muttered. Said: "Then...she...she is not my daughter-in-law..."

Zhang Tieshan said: "Mother, let me say it again, she is my wife, and she will be in the future, you can dislike her, but she is from our Zhang family, this will never change, if you don't, mother To admit her is to deny me." After speaking, Zhang Tieshan walked to Li Hehua's room, pushed open the door and went in, leaving Mrs. ** in the main room with an unsightly expression.

Zhang Qingshan sat next to Mrs. **, pursed his lips, and said: "Mother, what you did is wrong today, although sister-in-law was wrong before, but she has changed now, you have seen these days, she is very good to Shulin , it’s also good for us, and even better for my eldest brother. Even if you feel uncomfortable, but during this time we eat and drink other people’s food every day, and we are still wearing clothes made of the fabrics she gave, you should be there too. Protect her at this time, isn't it hurting your heart, if she ignores her eldest brother in the future, you will make eldest brother and Shulin more sad."

Through this period of time, I have seen all kinds of Li Hehua's eyes. Zhang Qingshan has convinced himself that he has passed the test in his heart, and decided to give Li Hehua another chance and treat her as a sister-in-law again. The mother is still angry, and she is still dissatisfied with his sister-in-law.

He knew that this would not work, so he decided to persuade his mother more. Fortunately, Mrs. ** is not that unreasonable person, and I know that Li Hehua has done a lot of things for them during this time, but when she thinks of how she was bullied by this woman before, the anger in her heart is gone. She couldn't get rid of it, so she didn't help bully Li Hehua just now, but she didn't drive away Wu Fang. At this moment, when the two sons talked about it, she felt a little guilty, and said indifferently: "You all help her talk, I can't tell you about you. , can't you help her in the future?"

Zhang Qingshan hooked his lips and laughed, although her mother said it was not good, but her heart has softened, that's all.

In the room, Li Hehua and Shulin were sitting at the table eating fruit dumplings together. Seeing Zhang Tieshan come in, Li Hehua glanced at him and continued to feed Shulin.

Zhang Tieshan walked to the side and sat down, stared at Li Hehua for a while, and gently stroked her face, "Angry?"

Li Hehua turned his head away from his hand and did not speak. In fact, she is not angry. She can see that the **'s attitude is softening step by step. Although she didn't help herself much today, it is much better than before, and she has no position to ask others to protect herself. So she wasn't angry, she was just a little unhappy, simply unhappy because she couldn't escape the influence of the original owner, she was just a little bored, and it wasn't a big deal.

Zhang Tieshan felt uncomfortable seeing her ignoring him, so he simply picked up Shulin, "Shulin, mother is not happy, father coaxes mother, can you go out and play for a while? You can't coax mother properly here. "

Shulin was still struggling, but when he heard that he wanted to make his mother happy, he hesitated. In the end, he felt that it was important for her to be happy, so he was carried out obediently.

Zhang Tieshan closed the door again, walked to Li Hehua's side, picked her up and put her on his lap without saying a word.

Li Hehua exclaimed, thinking that he was still injured, and slapped him lightly, "What are you doing? Let me down!"

Zhang Tieshan hugged her waist tightly and took her in his arms, "Are you really mad at me? Then you can beat me and scold me, just don't ignore me." What he was most afraid of was that she ignored him and turned him push away.

Li Hehua was softened by his tone and shook his head, "I'm not angry with you."

Zhang Tieshan lifted her chin and looked into her eyes, "Really? Then why ignore me?"

Li Hehua touched his face, "I'm really not angry, I didn't ignore you, I just felt a little depressed after arguing with someone."

Zhang Tieshan looked at Li Hehua inquiringly, seeing that she was really not angry, he was relieved, there was a smile in his eyes, he raised her chin, "I can't tell if you are really not angry with me anymore. , prove it."

Li Hehua didn't react and asked subconsciously, "How to prove it?"

Zhang Tieshan raised the corners of his mouth, "This proves..." As he said, he lowered his head and kissed Li Hehua's lips.

Li Hehua's mind was suddenly blank, and only the feeling of repeated sucking and biting on his lips kept circling, circling...

The first kiss in her life...
