Chapter 70
"Little?" Liu finally noticed that her daughter was standing at the door at some point, and immediately turned to wipe away the tears on her face, then turned around and said with a smile, "Why did you come back suddenly? "

He Xiaoxiao distributed the candied haws in his hands to his younger brother and sister, and coaxed them to play together, then said to He Mu: "I have a rest today, and I specially brought friends to the house, you guys, what happened? "

Mrs. Liu glanced in Father He's direction, frowned, and looked worried: "It's not your father, he has become more and more addicted to alcohol these days, and if he doesn't buy alcohol for him, he will go crazy at home. You let He almost drank up the few taels of silver that I brought home. If this continues, how will the family live?"

He Xiaoxiao felt a pain in his heart, grabbed Liu Shi's hand, tried to squeeze out a smile to comfort her and said: "Mother, don't worry, I'm working as a cook in Ji's mansion now, and I get five taels of silver every month , our family’s life will definitely get better and better in the future.”

Mrs. Liu raised her hand to touch her daughter's face, and said distressedly: "Mother knows you are capable, but no matter how much money you earn, you can't stand your father drinking like this. Your father is like this, and no one will listen to you. When do you think our family's life will end?" As he spoke, there was a touch of moisture in his eyes unconsciously.

He Xiaoxiao held back the tears in her eyes, and comforted her: "Mother, please don't do this, our family will gradually get better."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a sound of "Ah—" from the yard.

It turned out that Qian Hongxian and Lin Yuyan were worried about the situation in the house. Besides, they all came, so they followed into the house after all.Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them stepped into the yard, Father He saw Qian Hongxian holding two jars of wine in his hand, squinted his drunken eyes, stepped forward and snatched it over and said, "Wine, wine, give me wine..."

The sound just now was made by Lin Yuyan in shock.

Qian Hongxian was also taken aback by the other party's actions suddenly, but fortunately she came back to her senses soon, seeing He Xiaoxiao looking at her worriedly, she hurriedly smiled at her and said, "I'm fine." .”

"sorry."

He Xiaoxiao let go of Liu's hand, looked in the direction of her and Lin Yuyan with a face of shame, opened her mouth, and finally said only these few words.

"Bah, what is this?" On the other side, after Father He snatched the wine jar, he tore off the seal on it and poured it into his mouth. In the end, he drank a mouthful of peach petals, and angrily, he wanted to put the wine in his hand. The wine jar smashed to the ground.

Seeing this, He Xiaoxiao rushed forward to stop him and said, "Father, don't smash it. This is the peach blossom wine brewed by Hongxian himself. It will take a month to remove the petals before you can drink it."

Father He looked at the daughter in front of him with drunken eyes and said, "Little? Are you Xiaoxiao? Are you back?"

"Yes, it's me, dad, it's my daughter." Seeing that Father He recognized him, He Xiaoxiao couldn't help being overjoyed, took advantage of Father He's blank space, snatched the wine jar from Father He's hand, and took his hand and said: "Father, I'm Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao can earn money now, and Xiaoxiao can earn money with the cooking skills you taught. Although you can no longer cook in the future, you still have a daughter, and your daughter will take care of your parents and sisters." , the life of our family will definitely get better and better in the future. You promise me that you will stop drinking in the future, and let's quit drinking, shall we?"

Seeing He's father's half-closed eyes suddenly widen, with a gleam of light in them, he suddenly grabbed He Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, hurry up and buy wine for dad. Xiaoxiao, Dad wants to drink..."
