That's not that bad.

Zhao Xiaodong put the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the stove pit, simmered on the fire, and said: "Now it is still God's reward to eat, although our land here is not fertile, but it is finally drought and flood to ensure the harvest, so I will not die of hunger." When I was a child, I heard the old man say that there was a flood in the south, but it was terrible, and there was no harvest all year round......"

Song Yiran listened honestly from the side, listening to Zhao Xiaodong's bittersweet memories and telling stories from the past.

Compared to the old days, the way it is now, it is indeed much better.

Zhao Xiaodong used a burning stick to get out the potatoes and melons in the stove pit, and put them directly into a dilapidated clay pot, "Put it away, wait for it to cool down before eating." ”

In other words, she is not interested in this thing, okay?

Song Yiran thought that there was a lot of game on the mountain, maybe she could take advantage of the time when the villagers were afraid to go up the mountain to improve the food.

"What do you want to eat?"

Zhao Xiaodong peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, leaving only a little bottom, which was convenient to hold with his hands.

"I'm thinking about things in the mountains. ”

"On the mountain, what is there on the mountain that is worth thinking about?" Zhao Xiaodong picked up a potato by himself and ate it while it was hot.

Song Yiran was eating sweet potatoes while thinking about the feasibility of things.

It's winter, and most of the animals in the mountains are hibernating, so it's the safest time. Catching some rabbits, pheasants or something, improving her life, and enhancing her physique, is good for her to recover as soon as possible.

However, this matter has to be hidden from Zhao Xiaodong, if she knows, she will have to blow up. When she really catches something and eats meat, she will be able to acquiesce to her going up the mountain.

"Girl, what do you want?" Zhao Xiaodong found that he had never understood this girl, before, she didn't speak, asked her ten sentences, and it would be good if she could reply to you half a sentence. Now this girl is a lot cooler than before, but the idea is too right, and her heart seems to be always making a small calculation.

Zhao Xiaodong didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, she only knew that she didn't have any position to care about Song Yiran, as long as she took care of her, she would be worthy of Song Lao.

Song Yiran has always had a question in his heart, why is Zhao Xiaodong so good to her!?

Although she has the memory of the original owner, the original owner is a muddy person, living in her own world every day, and almost ignoring the outside world. In addition to the scenes that make her memorable, the people and facts she can remember are limited.

Just like Zhao Xiaodong, she can't take care of herself for no reason, and there is always a reason to be good to someone, right? To put it collusively, in this world, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason.

Song Yiran felt that this was an opportunity.

"Auntie, I've always had a question for you. As soon as Song Yiran said this, Zhao Xiaodong's eyes became a little uncomfortable.

There is a case!

Song Yiran pretended not to find anything, and while seriously picking up the skin of the half of the sweet potato in his hand, he asked her casually: "Why are you so good to me!"

Zhao Xiaodong looked a little embarrassed, licking his lips and swallowing saliva, all of which were small actions that people showed when their hearts were weak.

"You said that I was in Daqingshan, so everyone shouted and beat me, right?" Song Yiran smiled, "In the early years, it was my grandfather who protected me, and since he was gone, you have always helped me." I can't figure it out, why is that?"

Zhao Xiaodong squeezed out a sentence dryly: "This ...... It's all as it should be. ”

Song Yiran sighed, "There have been too many things that have happened in the past few years, and I have tasted the warmth and coldness of people in the world." Auntie, even my father may not be reliable, where in the world are there so many things that should be done. ”

Zhao Xiaodong opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say anything. She scolded Song Yiran's father half to death in her heart, and then said helplessly: "I said that you kid, why did you become so capable (can speak)? You couldn't kick a fart with eight feet before! ”

Song Yiran smiled, "If I become the same as before, you should be on fire again! Don't worry, I won't be like that before, if I do that again, I'll be sorry for my grandfather." ”

This sentence seemed to touch Zhao Xiaodong, she patted her thigh, and said: "You are right to think so! Girl, you listen to your aunt's words, where are you not alive! Now it is not better than before, you are alive well, not better than what?"

Song Yiran nodded, "You're right! Auntie, I'll listen to you in the future." ”

"Good boy. ”

"Then why are you so good to me?"

"What else can it be, it's not because your grandfather ......" Zhao Xiaodong didn't say anything, but he came back to his senses, and he couldn't wait to take off his shoes and fan himself a few times, why did she come out bald?

Song Yiran thought, sure enough, it was because of his grandfather's relationship.

The grandfather of the original owner is a very powerful doctor, and he is a very enthusiastic person, maybe it is because he is kind to Zhao Xiaodong, so Zhao Xiaodong insists on helping himself like this.

Song Yiran smiled, "Auntie, just tell me, otherwise I won't feel at ease." I'm sensible now, and I don't know what to do anymore like I used to. ”

Zhao Xiaodong thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you." She got up and stood in the doorway and looked out a few times, making sure that there was no one outside, and then sat back.

Song Yiran thought, could it be that there is some ulterior secret between Zhao Xiaodong and Old Man Song?

Then I felt that my idea was a little disrespectful, so I didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhao Xiaodong whispered to Song Yiran: "You know about my mother-in-law's family, right?"

In the days when Song Yiran just woke up, he really didn't know much about it.

Later, the people in her village said a word, and I gossiped, so I put together a rough idea of the affairs of Zhao Xiaodong's mother-in-law's house.

Zhao Xiaodong is not a native of Daqingshan, she is from Zhaojiatun, when life was not good a few years ago, her mother fell ill, but her brother's family affairs were also imminent. The bride price of the girl's family is a bit high, and if this family affair is not successful, it will be even more difficult for her brother to say kiss in the future.

For the sake of his family, Zhao Xiaodong simply gritted his teeth and married to the widow's family in Daqing Mountain.

The widow's son was born prematurely, and the weakness brought by the womb and the sickly appearance looked like he couldn't live long. The people in these ten miles and eight villages are unwilling to marry their daughters as widows, so even if the bride price given by the widow Ma is high, her son can never be said to be a daughter-in-law.

The widow was afraid that her husband's house would cut off the incense, so she went around to say goodbye to her son.

Zhao Xiaodong's face was full of bitterness, "I sold myself in order to get money to treat my mother's illness, and also to tell my brother about my daughter-in-law." ”
