    Li Xiaojun bent down and softly comforted his daughter-in-law: "Honey, I know you've worked hard, so bear with it. Besides, Mom and Dad haven't picked the fruit yet. You can only wait in the car when you go down the mountain. It's better to stay here."You can also blow the air..."

    Xianxian's voice became sharper, and she lost her temper irritably: "Then what are you talking about, pack your things quickly! I told you, there is not enough space in the car, and it is not easy to bring so many people.Don’t take your stuff with you.”

    Li Xiaojun nodded in a low voice, and looked up at his parents with a hint of impatience in his eyes: "Mom and Dad, hurry up and pack your things, the car is waiting at the foot of the mountain."

    After looking at the shack, Li Xiaojun felt that what the wife said was right. There were old or bulky farm tools inside, and it was really inconvenient to carry them. "Mom and Dad, there is nothing to clean up. Just bring a few clothes with you.Let’s go to the base to buy the rest.”

    Aunt Li burst into tears: "Jun, after leaving the orchard, how will we live in the future?"

    She took care of the orchard with every hand and foot, and every tree in it is like her child.She spent half her life on the orchard, what can she do without the orchard?Besides, no one knows what's going on at the base. Is there any chance for them to come back after they go there?

    Li Xiaojun sighed: "Mom, let me tell the truth, even if you guard the orchard, life is difficult. The temperature is so high now, who knows when it will cool down? If the fruit trees are burned to death in two months, youWhat are you going to do? Opportunities are rare now, relatives of Xianxian’s family managed to get a place, if you want to go to the base two months later, you won’t have such a good opportunity.”

    "Now that there are few people in the base, I can go in and find a good job. Isn't it better than planting trees in the orchard? Parents, I have told you all good and bad things. Even if you don't trust the base, you should trust me."

    Jiang Xiaoheng cried hard, and now he was beating softly. He hugged his father's neck and complained to Uncle Li and Aunt Li: "Grandpa, grandma, the tree... the tree is injured."

    Aunt Li wiped her tears and stood up and walked towards Jiang Xiaoheng. She held Jiang Xiaoheng in her arms and wiped away her tears, "Be good, don't cry. The tree will grow, it's fine."

    Seeing this scene, Xianxian sneered: "My own grandson doesn't care, he is busy coaxing other people's children."

    Li Xiaojun's complexion changed, he lowered his voice: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you not care?"

    After Xianxian became pregnant, she became very irritable. After the big crisis, she didn't go out very much, because she didn't know the power of supernatural beings.Nowadays, there is no so-called law in this world, and whoever has the biggest fist can call the shots.There have been cases of people with supernatural abilities killing people outside. He doesn't know how powerful Jiang Rong is, but it's good to avoid conflicts.

    Apparently his wife didn't have this awareness, Xianxian snorted: "What nonsense did I say? Your parents love this child so much, they give red bayberries today and peaches tomorrow."

    Uncle Li and his wife looked at their son together. When it was raining yesterday, his son went up the mountain and saw a basket of peaches. He wanted to take them back.Uncle Li stopped him and told him that it was reserved for Jiang Rong and his son.They want to eat it and pick it tomorrow.

    At that time Li Xiaojun nodded and didn't say anything. He didn't expect to tell his wife about it when he went back.

    Uncle Li sighed in disappointment, and Li Xiaojun blushed and muttered in a low voice: "Stop talking, Xianxian, they helped save so many fruit trees, so it's better to give some fruit to the children."

    Xianxian shrugged: "Yeah, I didn't say anything." She picked up the peach in hand and took a bite, and gave Jiang Rong and his son a Byakugan by the way.

    Jiang Rong lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes. After the great crisis, supplies became scarce. The basket of peaches that Uncle Li gave was indeed a rarity, and many people would be envious when they saw it.The little daughter-in-law has shallow eyelids, so he doesn't care about pregnant women.

    Uncle Li was now in a dilemma. He reached out to touch his upper pocket, but the cigarettes in his pocket had already been exhausted.He rubbed his hands and looked at Jiang Rong, with a dependence in his eyes that he didn't realize, "Xiao Rong, do you think your aunt and I should go to that base?"

    Jiang Rong looked at Li Xiaojun, not missing the discomfort in his eyes.He pursed his lips and said to Uncle Li: "Uncle, you have to discuss this matter with Li Xiaojun, you have to think about it yourself."

    The orchard does not belong to Jiang Rong, even if the fruit is picked, it has nothing to do with him.Uncle Li's decision to stay or stay is up to them. Although he wants to tell them that the base is not a good place, they may not believe it with Li Xiaojun around.

    But seeing Uncle Li's blank eyes, he still added: "Uncle, the base is not a charity organization, and it's not clear what's going on inside. You should think carefully about it if you can."

    Li Xiaojun glanced at Jiang Rong with an ugly look, and he frowned displeasedly, "Father, can I still harm you?"

    At this time, Li Xiaojun's parents-in-law came over with two bags full of peaches, "Dear family, have you packed it? Hurry up, we are ready to go."

    Uncle Li sighed deeply and didn't speak. He and his wife had spent half their lives here. From an emotional point of view, they didn't want to leave.

    Uncle Li didn't speak, but Li Xiaojun expressed his opinion again and again, "Hurry up, parents, get in the car first, and my parents will be there soon."

    Li Xiaojun's mother-in-law took out a big peach from the bag and handed it to Xianxian, "Qian, this peach is very ripe, eat a peach to cool off the heat."

    Xianxian smiled all over his face: "Thank you mom, as expected, only my own mother loves me."

    Aunt Li's red and swollen eyelids twitched twice, she thought it was ridiculous.During this period of time, Cao Qian ate so many fruits from her family without saying a word of thanks. Her mother is a good person to show her kindness with the fruits she grew.

    Li Xiaojun's father-in-law still has one important thing to do, he pointed in the direction of Huzi, "Xiaojun, come and untie the rope, I'll take the dog into the car first."

    Li Xiaojun trotted over like an answering insect: "Dad, don't move, let me do it. A tiger recognizes people, so don't be bitten by him."

    Seeing Li Xiaojun holding the iron chain, Huzi let out a buzzing sound, and its huge body shrank back. No matter how Li Xiaojun pulled it, it refused to move forward.The big wolfdog stretched its legs hard, and its neck was twisted sideways by the iron chain.It tearfully looked in the direction of the old master, seeing the old master standing there blankly, it barked in anxiety.

    Li Xiaojun's father-in-law stretched out his hand to help his son-in-law pull the iron chain, no matter how hard he tried, the dog remained motionless.The father-in-law complained: "This dog is really stubborn. Come on, second uncle and third uncle, let's help each other."

    After the father-in-law finished speaking, two thin men came from the woods on one side. Their exposed skin was covered with blood scabs, and their eyes glowed green when they looked at Huzi: "The leader of the base said,The most lacking thing is a mutated pet dog, a mutated dog can be exchanged for several good houses. Tigers are so powerful, it is not a problem to change three houses."

    Hearing the voices of these two people, Jiang Rong always felt familiar.After thinking for a while, he remembered that he had seen these two people in the courtyard of Chu Qiang's house when he first discovered that his ability could attach to plants.The two of them wanted to sneak into the Chu family's house in the dark of night, but they were caught by the mutated wild rose, which resulted in injuries all over their bodies.

    It turned out that the relatives of the Yue family who Aunt Li mentioned earlier were referring to them.

    The four of them exerted strength, and the tiger obviously had some difficulty. It stood on all fours and shrank towards the back of the orange tree.The collar around its neck tightened, strangling its throat, and the dog could only whimper helplessly.Perhaps realizing that something bad is going to happen, big and big tears rolled down and wet the hair under his eyes.

    As soon as Huzi cried, the person who was pulling him laughed instead: "Look, this dog is so human that he is crying!"

    "It's good to be human, so you can be obedient. Only after you go to the base can you be driven by other supernatural beings."

    "This dog is so big, he has to eat a lot for a meal, right? Fortunately, we are on the road for a short time, otherwise he will have to eat poorly."

    Li Xiaojun said with a smile: "Third Uncle, Huzi can't be hungry, our future depends on it." After speaking, he softly coaxed Huzi, "Huzi, come with me to a good place, it's better than visiting an orchard.”

    The barking of the dog became more and more miserable, and the tears that Jiang Xiaoheng had just stopped rolled in his eyes again: "Dog, they hurt the dog. Dad, help the dog..."

    Jiang Rong took a few steps back after taking his son, he couldn't help with this kind of thing.

    Ever since Li Xiaojun helped his father-in-law to pull the dog, Uncle Li's body was trembling uncontrollably.The outside temperature was so high, but he felt a burst of cool air flowing down from the Tianling Gai.

    Seeing the ugly face of his son pulling the dog, listening to those so-called relatives discussing how to use Huzi to go to the base to change houses and jobs, and watching Huzi with tears in his eyes, the thoughts that have been circling in my mind countless times during this period reappeared.He came out: What's the use of having such a son?

    Since Li Xiaojun was admitted to a good unit, everyone said that the couple raised a good son, but who knew their suffering?For so many years, the children only contacted them when they needed money. They didn’t make a phone call on weekdays. When they called, the son would only tell them: He is busy and he is in a meeting.

    They know that they are useless, and that the child can be today thanks to their own efforts, and they try not to cause trouble to the child on weekdays.When they need their help, they will drop everything in their hands to help him.

    What did they get?

    They spent all their savings to buy a house for their son, but they didn't even know where the new house was.When the daughter-in-law came in, she didn't drink the glass of water she poured, she didn't eat the meal she cooked, and she still had to bear the sarcastic remarks and sarcasm from her and her family.

    After the big crisis started, the son dragged his family back and they had no objection. The Yue family only had a daughter-in-law and a daughter, so it was only natural for them to follow.But more than a dozen relatives of the Yue family also came together, which brought them a heavy burden.

    They talked about the problem with their son, but the son never said a word from their standpoint.It's even better now, and he even made clear arrangements for their future under the banner of being good for them.

    After all these years, he should have seen through his son's nature long ago.But I still have some hope in my heart, hoping that my son will understand the hard work of being a parent after he has a child.Now it seems that the son will not understand.

    Li Xiaojun would rather let his parents be wronged than flatter his Yue family's relatives.

    Uncle Li believed that this group of people didn't really want to take them to the base, they just came for the tigers.If Hu Zi followed them now, this group of people would leave without hesitation.

    Everyone who raises a dog knows how to protect the owner, but the son who has raised it for decades does not understand this truth.Leaving aside the point of blood, Li Xiaojun is not even as good as a dog.

    Uncle Li's heart instantly went cold.

    "stop."

    Uncle Li opened his mouth to say these two words, but his voice was too small and trembling, drowned in the joking laughter of relatives.

    No one took Uncle Li's words to heart, only Huzi pricked up his ears.

    Uncle Li's eyes gradually turned cold: "Huzi, go—"

    With an order, Huzi rushed forward, and the people who were pulling him were unsteady and fell backwards.The tiger jumped over Li Xiaojun's body, and accurately stepped on the body of Li Xiaojun's father-in-law.It pressed its two front legs on the father-in-law's chest, and stretched its head towards the father-in-law's neck.

    If the tiger wanted to bite someone, Li Xiaojun's father-in-law would only splatter the blood on the spot.However, the tiger didn't hurt anyone, it just used its own weight to make Li Xiaojun's father-in-law unable to stand up.Seeing the huge dog's mouth, the father-in-law screamed in panic: "Killer—"

    The sudden turn of events made Xianxian and her mother scream: "Ah—" The relatives who followed them panicked, and one or two ran down the mountain without even looking back.

    Li Xiaojun got up from the ground, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he quickly stretched out his hand to pull the iron chain around Hu Zi's neck, and ordered: "Go down! Hu Zi get down!"

    Once the tiger has captured the target, it will only listen to Uncle Li and Aunt Li. No matter how much Li Xiaojun drags it, it will not move at all.After a few times, the father-in-law wailed again and again: "Hurry up, let this dog get off me, ouch, it crushed someone to death..."

    Seeing her husband being pinned down by the dog, Li Xiaojun's mother-in-law asked tremblingly, "My in-laws, what are you doing?!"

    Xianxian's voice was sharp: "Li Xiaojun! Tell your parents to stop the dog!"

    Li Xiaojun looked at Uncle Li in shock: "Dad, what are you doing? Tell Huzi to stop!" Just now Uncle Li told them to stop, but they didn't listen. He told Huzi to go, but this group of people listenedClearly.

    Although he had already made a decision, when he actually said it, Uncle Li's eyes were red and his voice was trembling: "Li Xiaojun, from today on I don't have your son, and you don't have me as a father."

    Li Xiaojun laughed as if he had heard something funny: "Dad, what are you talking about? How can the blood relationship be broken?" Then he turned his head and looked at Aunt Li, "Mom, why don't you persuade my dad?, Xianxian’s relatives are all here. If you have any complaints about me, let’s talk about it after closing the door.”

    Aunt Li handed Jiang Xiaoheng to Jiang Rong, and straightened the child's hat.Her hands trembled slightly, but when she turned around, the words she said were extremely firm: "Your father means that he wants to sever the father-son relationship with you. I think so too, Li Xiaojun, you have grown up andAfter getting married, you will be a father in a short time, and you should have been alone long ago."

    Li Xiaojun opened his mouth in disbelief, "Mom and Dad, are you overwhelmed? What is severing ties? I am your only child. If you don't want me, who else can you want?"

    Uncle Li smiled bitterly: "I can't afford a son like you."

    My mother and I are on the mountain dying or living, he can't see, what the relatives of the Yue family want, he just does it.He sucked the blood of his parents to raise others. He was indeed a good son, a good son raised by Uncle Li and his wife.

    Uncle Li said: "I don't want to say bad words, I just want to say something to you and your wife's relatives: Your mother and I don't owe you anything, we don't care where you are going, but we will never follow you."

    Li Xiaojun stared blankly at the two familiar faces, he knew that his parents had been wronged during this time.Xianxian's family lived in their own house, and their parents gave them all the things in the house... But, isn't this all for the future?

    His family is a grassroots family, if there is no one to help, how will they live a good life in the future?Isn't being nice to Xianxian's family now just investing in their future?

    A resentment suddenly rose in Li Jun's heart, as his parents always do.When I need their help, they always hold back.Except for a little tuition for themselves when they go to school, they can't help with anything else.

    The other students have their parents to help arrange their jobs and futures, but he has to work hard on everything by himself.It is the same when looking for a job, and it is the same when getting married and having children.For so many years, he has been a lowly child in Yue's family, and he dare not breathe, isn't it because he has no family background?Isn't it because there is no one at home?But if his parents are as capable as his wife's parents, why is he still a junior clerk?

    In countless late nights, he thought that his classmates who were not as good as him were doing better than him, and he felt like a knife was cutting his heart.He has never complained to his parents about this, and now a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of him, and he finally seizes the opportunity to build a relationship with the Xianxian family's contacts. At the most critical moment, it is his parents who jumped up to trip him up.

    Li Xiaojun smiled angrily, and the muscles under his face twitched twice: "Are you still my biological parents? When is this, how can you say such a thing?! Is going to the base to harm you? How many people are beggingIf you want this opportunity, it’s fine if you don’t cherish it, but you still want to sever ties with me?”

    Li Xiaojun was so angry that his blood pressure went up. He paced back and forth for a few steps and said angrily: "Okay! Breaking off the relationship is breaking off the relationship. I've had enough of these years! I can't help you everywhere, and you still make trouble when it's critical. With people like youParents, it is really my misfortune, Li Xiaojun!"

    Uncle Li and Aunt Li looked at each other, the disappointment in their eyes could no longer be suppressed.What the hell did they do, why did they raise such a selfish son?

    They admit that as parents, they can't give their children a lot of help, but they have treated their children well within their ability.It can be said that for the sake of their children, they can even risk their lives.

    But being willing to sacrifice your life on your own initiative is a different concept from your son taking their own initiative to take their lives.The former is selfless love, the latter is selfish desire.

    Li Xiaojun breathed heavily, and he looked at Huzi viciously, "Give me Huzi, and I'll leave right away!"

    Uncle Li and Aunt Li couldn't say a word, and it seemed that their previous thoughts had come true.In their eyes, their son is not as caring and loyal as a dog, and in their eyes, they are not as practical as a dog.

    Li Xiaojun looked at his parents with red eyes, trying to make a final negotiation: "Give me the tiger, I will leave immediately, and I will never come back again!"

    Uncle Li and Aunt Li supported each other, and in just a few minutes, they aged a lot.After a long time, Uncle Li said: "I can't decide this matter..."

    Li Xiaojun just thought it was funny: "It's fine if you don't want to give it, why are you looking for such a ridiculous reason?!"

    Uncle Li's eyes are cloudy, and his voice is vicissitudes: "Not only is the son big enough to stay, but the dog also has his own ideas when he grows up. If you want to go with you, you can ask the tiger yourself."

    Li Xiaojun snorted coldly: "You raised it since you were young, why did it leave you?" If Huzi was willing to go with him, he would have brought it into the car just now, why bother until now?

    Uncle Li had tears in his eyes, "We raised you since childhood, didn't you leave us too?"

    Li Xiaojun caught his breath in his throat: "Can I be compared with a dog as a living person?!"

    Just when Li Xiaojun was about to argue with his parents, Xianxian threw himself on him crying, "Are you dead? Didn't you see my father and you were almost out of breath? Are your parents going to kill my parents?Let me go! Tell your parents to let you go!"

    Seeing her daughter-in-law protecting her parents so much, Aunt Li grinned and wanted to smile, but her smile was uglier than crying.She is envious of other people's parents, who can get such protection from their children.If her son is one-tenth as good as Xianxian is to his parents, she and her wife will not hesitate to go to the base with their son.

    Forget it, with her son's attitude, she and her wife won't have a good life even if it passes.Why not have long eyes to attract people's suspicion?

    Cao Qian's mother whimpered and ran in the direction of her father-in-law, but when Huzi raised her head, she was so frightened that she couldn't stand up, so she could only howl, "Old Cao, hold on, hold on!"

    Seeing the howling wife and mother-in-law, Li Xiaojun was like a deflated balloon: "Okay, I promise you. Cut off ties, don't take Huzi away, let them go..."

    Li Xiaojun and his party carried the fruit basket and walked down the mountain. Uncle Li and Aunt Li stood under the shack and looked at his son's back with tears.The strength that had been strong in front of Li Xiaojun collapsed at this moment. That was their son, who was supposed to stand with them and be the person they relied on firmly, but now he became the person who hurt them the most.

    Seeing Uncle Li and Aunt Li looking devastated, Jiang Rong remained silent, no matter what the situation is, it is a sad thing for a family to fall apart.If one day Xiaoheng treats him like this for outsiders, he feels that he will be no better than Uncle Li and Aunt Li.

    Thinking of Uncle Li and Aunt Li's devotion, and Li Xiaojun's taking it for granted, Jiang Rong always felt uncomfortable.He wished he could arrest Li Xiaojun and his group and lock them up on the mountain, let them water the fruit trees, and experience the difficulty of Uncle and Sister-in-law Li.

    But after thinking about it, it doesn't make any sense to do so.He would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. If he did, he would only offend this group of people.

    He didn't feel sorry for the fruits these people took away, but he was afraid that they would reveal the news after they arrived at the base in N City.Sometimes the supernatural beings in the base will travel hundreds of miles to collect supplies. If they disclose the orchard, it is a trivial matter for supernatural beings to pick the fruit every year. The most important thing is that his and his son's house may also be exposed..

    Thinking of this, Jiang Rong couldn't help but sighed: "Hey..." He really wanted to make some trouble for Li Xiaojun and his party, and make them fear the orchard.But there are more Guan Shao and Jiang Hao in the family, so it is not very convenient to act.

    At this time, Guan Shao's voice came: "Do you feel that you are holding your breath?"

    Jiang Rong turned his head away, he saw the same emotion in Guan Shao's eyes: "Huh?"

    Guan Shao smiled slightly: "I hate thankless wretch the most."

    Jiang Rong raised his brows lightly, is Guan Shao willing to go to the sack with him?After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Rong smiled and said, "Do you have time to relax?"

    Jiang Rong's face was reflected in Guan Shao's pupils, his smile was gentle and sincere: "Okay."
