Chapter 8: No One Looks Down on Me
I think that if in the end, my arms can't twist my thighs, I can let a few female intellectuals live in. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for a young man to live in this life
"No, I only helped you once in a while, so you don't have to thank me like that. The old man said impatiently, "I really don't want to associate with people, so you can go back." ”
No matter how I tried to persuade him, he refused to agree, and in the end I couldn't persuade him, so I had to take my leave, thinking in my heart that I still had to use my grandfather to persuade me.
I left the sweater with him before I left.
Zhao Shanfeng muttered, "Why are you so abrasive!"
I laughed and said, "I'm a good person." So you can tolerate me for once. You can keep these clothes, isn't my grandfather a veteran? I sent him two clothes in one season, and there are a lot of clothes over the years, and you are about the same body, you can all wear them. ”
He hesitated, but finally accepted the dress.
"You go, you won't come here from my side in the future. I'm used to being alone. I'm a Black Five, and I have a bad reputation, so don't affect you. ”
"Don't worry, my reputation is not good. ”
Mr. Zhao looked at me in surprise and didn't squeak.
As I left Mr. Zhao's side, he slammed the door shut, as if to drive away a fierce god.
I smiled, I really didn't have a bad heart, why did this happen to me. Forget it, forget it, it's useless to think about other people's thoughts. Let's live my own life.
When I went back and passed through the wasteland, I was about to pick the eggplant seedlings, and take them back to soak my grandfather's feet, and I carefully slipped down from them, and then began to work with my head down, and tossed a few seedlings into the pocket of my clothes.
But because I forgot to bring gloves, I only picked a few, and I covered my mouth and sighed, it was too cold! Compared with the north a few decades later, the cold now is not a joke!
I barely picked a few more, but I couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to give up and go home to the gloves.
At this time, someone behind me spoke: "I don't wear gloves on such a cold day, and I'm still doing this, why do you freeze your hands?"
I turned around and saw Zhang Erzhu from the same village coming over, and I hurriedly said, "I'm fine, are you also looking for this eggplant seedling?"
"No, I came with them. He pointed to the big dirt pit not far from me, and I poked my head to see that there were still a few people squatting there, all busy with shovels and something, and they didn't notice me.
Zhang Erzhu said, "I've been busy all morning, but I haven't gained anything." ”
He was a very honest young man in his early twenties, and he was a nice man, but I was more embarrassed to see him, because he had proposed marriage to someone when I was sixteen, but it was not official, it was his own intention. His parents think that I don't have a father and a mother is a hard life, unlucky, and my temper is not good. Resolutely opposed.
My grandfather also said that I was young and didn't want to talk about it first, so he refused.
Later, after Gao Haisheng came over, I instantly fell in love with him, and I couldn't look down on him anymore, so the matter was over. It's a little awkward to see him now.
I was polite and away from him, and smiled, "What are those people doing here?"
Zhang Erzhu looked at those people, they were all busy, they didn't notice my existence, he whispered: "They said that someone found a few silver dollars around here last week, got it and exchanged a lot of money in the city, exchanged a dozen flatbreads and came back, got drunk and said it, so everyone came to try it." But after looking for a few days, there is no result. ”
I sighed, remembered, in my last life, I seemed to have heard, there was a rich family in the Republic of China near this place buried money in the soil, and some villagers dug it out and made a fortune, at that time the villagers were crazy, a swarm of bees came to find, digging this side is full of holes, I also followed the trend to come to find, but unfortunately I was busy for a long time and did not find a silver dollar, but disappointed.
But it seemed that it was spring, and I didn't think it would be winter, so I came. But you can't dig up such hard soil. When I was stunned, Zhang Erzhu had already helped me pick a lot of eggplant seedlings and put them in my pocket.
I quickly refused, and said with a smile: "No need, I can do it myself." ”
"It's not a valuable thing. You don't have to be so nervous. Don't freeze your hands, stand still, just look for a little. As he spoke, he quickly squatted down there, and after a short time he found a handful of seedlings and threw them in.
I quickly thanked: "That's enough." Really bothering you. ”
"It's all from the same village, what are you polite about. Zhang Erzhu smiled honestly and kept looking at me: "You were so brave in the village committee just now, if it were me, I wouldn't be willing and wouldn't dare to say it." ”
"Nothing. I laughed and said, "I don't have a good reputation anyway, so I don't care about that." ”
I thought the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and while we were talking, he kept looking around, for fear that someone was coming.
Because he is now engaged to Xiao Fangfang, the daughter of the Xiao family who makes tofu in the village. Xiao Fangfang is good-looking and an only daughter, so she has always been very jealous, and if anyone dares to say a word to Zhang Erzhu, she will overturn the vinegar jar and find the woman to make a lot of trouble.
It's bad for us to talk like this and be seen by her, we can't explain it clearly, and we're fighting with Xiao Fangfang when the time comes, why is it so painful?
I didn't want to be embarrassed forever, so I wanted to part with him after a few pleasantries, but we still got bumped.
A woman came over quickly, not Ouyang Fangfang, but Zhang Erzhu's mother Li Xia. She was wearing a fuchsia scarf, her cheekbones were flushed, she was holding a shovel in her hand, and she was carrying a super large cloth bag behind her back. This woman does not hide her greed at all, such a big bag can almost hit thirty or fifty pounds of silver dollars, and she is not afraid of tiring herself.
When she saw that Zhang Erzhu was talking to me, her face suddenly sank, her brows were locked together, and her disgust was overflowing. shouted directly to his son: "Erzhuzi, what are you doing, I asked you to come out to do some work, and you are too lazy to come over here and talk nonsense?
I was very embarrassed when I heard this, didn't I mean that Sang was scolding Huai, or that she was scolding me openly, and if she said a word to me, she would ruin her son's reputation?
I didn't want to pay attention to her, thanked Zhang Erzhu, and was about to leave.
I don't know what Zhang Erzhu said, Li Xia pushed him and yelled: "You don't come! I haven't heard of who she is? Why do you dare to talk to her? Be careful that Fangfang is messing with you, when the daughter-in-law is gone, you will have to be forced to marry this girl, I think what to do in this life! I won't marry you with your father!"
"Mother, what are you talking about! Everyone hears it!"
"What do you think of it? I'm not right? Can a serious man casually talk to a wild woman? When you see someone who loves one, do you want to be forced to get a marriage certificate, are you stupid?"
I looked back, Zhang Erzhu's face was red, embarrassed and anxious, but he couldn't speak. In his previous life, he was a mother, of course he didn't have the courage to refute.
When Li Xia saw me turn around, she shouted, "Look at it, hurry up!"
I said, "Who do you say is a shrew and a wild woman? It's all from the same village, why is it so ugly?"
Li Xia waved her hand like a fly, "I'll teach my son a lesson, what are you doing? There are all kinds of pick-ups, and there are also people who pick up scolding?"
I said, "I can't care if you teach your son, why are you scolding me? When I can't hear it? Even if I like the educated youth, I haven't broken the law, and I haven't hooked up everywhere, I'm not afraid of retribution for you to abuse me everywhere!"
Li Xia sneered, "Hey, your girl has a big temper, since you have said so, I am not afraid to tell you clearly, you are also the time to discuss marriage, there are only a few suitable men in the village, I am also very afraid, what if you can't get married and find my son?"
"Mom, don't say it!" Zhang Erzhu was about to cry.
"Go aside! No father and no mother, what good child can a rough old man support?"
I hate it so much, it's my fault that my parents died? Even if I scold me, I will also scold my grandfather? Why don't I want to deal with you, and I really think I'm a bully?
