When Ji Ling woke up, the sun was already shining on her buttocks.

Chunlan was writing her winter vacation homework on the desk in front of the window, looking focused, but she still heard the movement, she turned her head sideways: "Sister Ji Ling, are you awake?"

"Well, did your second brother get up?" Ji Ling turned over, lay on the soft big bed and rubbed his eyes, a strand of slender and soft bangs swayed in front of him, so beautiful that it was terrifying.

Chunlan smiled: "He never sleeps lazy, he goes out early in the morning, but he is too busy to be at home all day long, and he doesn't know what he is doing." ”

Ji Ling held his delicate chin in both hands and said: "He is very tired, he has been busy with the affairs of the cooperative in Yunxi Village these days, and wants to help the people in his hometown earn more money." ”

Chunlan tilted her head: "Cooperatives?

Ji Ling has never been very interested in this matter: "I don't know very well, it's just like your second brother called on those people in your village to pay money to build an economic production organization, and then sell the peanuts and soybeans they grow to the canning factory to make money." ”

When Chunlan heard this, she pouted and said: "My second brother is really, but it is unreliable to ask the people in the village to pay money, not to mention his own hard work, and he will not appreciate it if he turns around to help others, and if something goes wrong, he will be poked in the back." I can see through the faces of some people in the village, in short, it is thankless. ”

Ji Ling sat at the head of the bed with his slender calves in his arms and said, "It's okay for you to say that, but we can't define your second brother with such a vision and angle, he is different." ”

Chunlan's pen that was ticking off the math workbook stopped, and after a while, she said "um" and smiled: "Are you up?" Sister Ji Ling, I'll go get you a towel and a toothbrush. ”

Ji Ling smiled and said thank you!

Chunlan said again: "The warm water and milk and apples you want to drink are all on the table, do you want to cook some noodles? You don't eat chili peppers and onions and garlic, do you?"

Ji Ling was stunned: "How do you know?"

Chunlan said: "The second brother told me before he went out. ”

Ji Ling laughed again.

At that time, the sky outside the window was very bright.

After getting up and dressing, Ji Ling walked out of Chunlan's bedroom, she had heard that Zhang Yunqi's father had returned, but she didn't see anyone, and there was no one else at home, she rinsed her mouth and washed her face in the bathroom, and when she was eating breakfast, Ji Ling suddenly said: "Chunlan, let's go to Ximen Street in the morning? It's about to be the New Year, don't be bored at home every day and read books." ”

"Just the two of us?"

"And Xiaoxiao, let's call it the first meeting. ”

This is the first time Ji Ling has come to Hongshan Lane since he was sensible.

A group of unkempt children, dressed in tattered and patched clothes, and some of them wore only single clothes, very thin, and some of them didn't even have shoes, and they fought and wrestled in the mud, and their tone was more arrogant than that of the gangsters in society, and they opened their mouths to fuck!

Although the cold winter has long passed, the weather is still cold, and the flower of the motherland, which symbolizes hope, seems to be far from the moment of blooming.

Along the way, Ji Ling and Chunlan didn't talk much.

They want to find the first time to go shopping and play, but there is no contact information, fortunately, there is a small guide to take them to Hongshan Lane to find the first meeting, this little girl is bold, every day with the first sister to play together, all over the world crazy run, and also followed Jiang Feng to the first time to see home many times.

When I came to the door of the house of the first sight, what caught Ji Ling's eyes was a small yard, there were three tiled houses next to each other, low and old, it had just rained a few days ago, and the ground without brushing cement was muddy and rotten, and the first time I saw that the family was in the yard and was killing the New Year's pigs.

The pig was very big, there was no helper, Chu Jian and his mother Jiang Feng and her skinny stepfather Chu Dapeng pressed the feet and pulled the tail until they couldn't move, and finally tied the pig's leg with hemp rope, and the embarrassed Chu Jian and Chu Dapeng only one person freed up one hand, each grabbed one end of the flat shoulder, and lifted the pig up and pressed it flat on the two stools that had been prepared.

Chu Dapeng took a pig-killing knife from the board, stabbed directly under the pig's neck, and then pulled it out, and the terrible howl stopped abruptly, and the blood immediately flew out, most of which shot into the wooden basin below, and splashed on the white transparent face of Chu Jian, red, like a rose in the snow.

"First time I saw my sister!"

Hatsumi heard a small voice.

She gasped twice, turned her head sideways, and saw the jumping Zhang Xiaoxiao leading Ji Ling and Chunlan over, she was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to wipe off the mud on her body, sweat and blood on her face, but as soon as she raised her arm, she smelled the disgusting smell of her hands, which was stained when she grabbed pig's feet.

I don't know why, she felt a little sad in her heart.

It's not embarrassment, it's not vanity, it's just that the girl in the flower season is unwilling to leave her not too good side to her good friends, so that they feel that they are not doing well and feel sorry for themselves.

Ji Ling really didn't have the mood to go out shopping and play.

She walked into the yard, handed the juice she bought to Chuxin, who was staring at her with big eyes, squinted and rubbed her little head with a smile, and helped Chujian do chores with Chunlan.

Ji Ling is not very good at housework, maybe she has never done it, in a powerful family like her, there are nannies to take care of food and clothing, and it is commendable to treat her friends with such sincerity and enthusiasm, but Chunlan is obviously different, she really has nothing to say when she does her work, burning firewood, padding straw, shaving pig hair, and is proficient in everything.

In fact, these things, for this girl, are just ordinary housework, you know, when she was still unsteady on the road, she had already followed her brothers and sisters to pick tobacco leaves in the tobacco field. It is the most abrasive farm work in the eyes of the croppers, as long as you drill into the tobacco field, when you come out, you must be covered with extremely bad smell of e-liquid.

When I first saw my mother Jiang Feng and her playful stepfather Chu Dapeng, they were frightened by the diligent Chunlan, in their eyes, Chunlan was a golden nobleman, as for the other good-looking short-haired girl, the look of her speech, and the temperament revealed on her body, she was by no means like a girl from an ordinary family.

However, they couldn't stop the two enthusiastic girls, and watched them talk and laugh with the first sight, so they had to go.

After the pigs were cleaned up, Chujian's mother Jiang Feng began to prepare to kill the pigs, and asked Ji Ling and Chunlan to have lunch at home, Ji Ling wanted to call Zhang Yun to come over, and she told Chujian about it.

The first sight, who has always been delicate, was stunned and immediately said yes.

Ji Ling smiled: "Then do you have a place to call here?" I'll call him." ”
