Chapter 22: Encounter
Xiaozhuzi's family is not divided, grandma Sun's husband died early, and he didn't think about separating his family at all when he kept his two sons living together, and now Xiaozhuzi's father and Xiaozhuzi's second uncle went to the old village chief early, and there are only two daughters-in-law and five granddaughters left in the family.
"Mom! This is the child of Mrs. Lin's family, why is it long? Look at this little appearance, it looks really rare! It is also good to wear it, Mrs. Lin is really willing!" Li Cui, the second daughter-in-law of the Sun family who came out of the Xili, saw Lin Qing's eyes straightened, and the envy and jealousy in her wide eyes could not be concealed, and there was a trace of shame, a baby picked up, why is it so good? !
Lin Qing obediently shouted, "Auntie." For this second daughter-in-law of the Sun family, she has heard of it in her previous life, she is a lazy daughter-in-law, and she is sloppy and unbearable, and her clothes can be worn without washing for a month or two.
Now she came out wearing a dirty torn cotton jacket, the placket was dirty, the cuffs were oily and black, and her hair hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time, sticking together one by one, and there was a strange smell when she got closer.
"Look at this white skin, it's really rare. As she spoke, Li Cui stretched out her big black and thin hand and wanted to pinch Lin Qing's face, but Lin Qing saw a thick layer of dirt in her fingernails at a glance, and her back suddenly felt cold, and goosebumps broke out all over her body.
"Don't start with the second family, your hand strength is not heavy, in case you pinch the red and pinch the green, Aunt Lin's temper will definitely make trouble with you!" Joke, when others can't see the jealousy in your eyes, if you take the opportunity to pinch it, how can you explain it to the old lady when you turn around?!
The old lady Li Cui couldn't afford to be provoked, pouted, turned around and went back to the house. Xiaozhuzi's mother didn't bother to pay attention to her, and she didn't care about Grandma Sun, who was still angry, and beckoned Xiaozhuzi to take Lin Qing to the yard to play.
Lin Qing brought a sandbag in his pocket, took the firewood ash from the stove and drew a grid in the yard, and together with Xiaohe and Xiaolian who came with him, the four of them played sandbag throwing.
was playing happily, Xiao Ju and Xiao Lan, the two daughters of Xiao Zhuzi's second uncle's family, came over to make trouble and snatched the sandbag, Xiao Zhu suddenly exploded, and went up and snatched it.
Xiaoju is two years older than Xiaozhu, and Xiaolan is the same age as Xiaozhu, don't look at one against two, but they just can't grab Xiaozhu.
Originally, Xiaozhuzi followed Xiaozhuzi's mother, and she was much taller than her peers at a young age, completely catching up with the eight-year-old Xiaoju, plus the "added" toffee that Lin Qing gave her last time, her body is much stronger now, compared to the malnourished and thin sisters, she can beat them all down alone!
"If you make trouble again, I'll beat you!" Xiao Zhuzi threatened fiercely, seeing that the sisters didn't dare to choke, so they came back proudly and continued to play.
Xiao Zhuzi's mother happened to come out of the house and saw this scene, so she nodded Xiao Zhuzi's forehead angrily, "Who is this temperament with? He turned his face and beckoned to Xiaoju and Xiaolan, "Don't be mischievous, let you Xiaozhu sister take you to play together." ”
Xiao Zhuzi glared unhappily, and Xiao Zhuzi's mother patted her head, "Look at Aqing, Mom has something to do when she goes out." Xiao Zhuzi held his breath and nodded.
Lin Qing looked at this scene with some amusement, and when he saw that Xiaozhuzi's mother was gone, he stepped forward to comfort Xiaozhuzi, who was pouting, took out a piece of toffee in the space from his pocket, and opened the snow-white candy cube of the candy paper and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Isn't it delicious?" Lin Qing smiled and stuffed one piece himself, and took two more pieces out for Xiaohe and Xiaolian.
"Mmmm, it's delicious!" Xiao Zhuzi sucked his mouth, smiled, and beckoned his two younger sisters, "Why don't you say thank you?"
Xiaohe and Xiaolian listened to Xiaozhuzi's words very much, and said shyly: "Thank you." The candy wrappers that the two of them peeled off were reluctant to throw away, and carefully put them in their pockets.
Xiao Ju and Xiao Lan, who were standing far away, kept swallowing saliva greedily, Lin Qing ignored them, after the old lady and Xiao Zhuzi's mother died in the same year in the previous life, the sisters bullied her on weekdays, she has never been a generous person, and she can't change her eyes and grudges.
Xiao Ju and Xiao Lan waited for a while and didn't see Lin Qing give them candy, so they immediately turned red with their eyes red, and ran back to the house with their mouths flat, listening to the voice, it seemed that they were complaining to Li Cui and Grandma Sun.
After a while, Li Cui appeared at the door of the house, pointed at Lin Qing in a sharp voice and said, "Why is this kid slamming the door?! Why don't you give the sugar to my two girls?!"
Xiao Zhuzi jumped to her feet angrily, she was not afraid of this second aunt, she stepped forward to reason with Li Cui, Lin Qing hurriedly grabbed her, blocked the front and shot back angrily, "Auntie is generous, I haven't eaten Auntie's candy cubes, Auntie has candy that can be given by people close to me, and a few pieces of sugar in my pocket have to be given by people close to me, right?"
Li Cui didn't quite understand the meaning of Lin Qing's words, but Grandma Sun in the house was very transparent in her heart, and she was afraid that her second daughter-in-law would say something again, so she scolded her in the house, "What are you talking about?!"
She doesn't dare to do anything for that girl? The old lady of the Lin family doesn't peel your skin, so it's strange! The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family have been cleaned up and don't dare to go out until now!
Li Cui returned to the house with an unhappy face after being reprimanded, and Lin Qing lost the interest of throwing sandbags, "Let's go out to play? ”
Xiao Zhuzi hesitated a little, "It's not good on the mountain, what if you encounter a long insect in the mountain?"
"There are no worms. Xiaolian shook her head on the side, "I heard from Ah Yun in the west of the village, her father often goes into the mountains and has never seen long insects, saying that he was caught during the famine in those years." ”
"My grandmother also said that if we don't go inside, we will go around the foot of the mountain. "Don't look at the current southwest mountain, there has been greenery in the past two years, and the trees have come to life a lot, but Lin Qing knows that the actual forest is basically empty, and there will be no rabbits and pheasants, let alone long insects.
Seeing that Lin Qing really wanted to go, Xiao Zhuzi nodded, found the bamboo basket, went back to the house to say hello to Grandma Sun, and took Lin Qing and his two younger sisters to the southwest mountain.
It is said that it is digging wild vegetables, but in fact, it is just a playful shuttle between the mountains and forests, and occasionally I see a sparrow in the forest that wants to catch it home and eat meat.
Lin Qing saw that they were greedy, so he promised that if there were many wild vegetables dug up, he would let the old lady make wild vegetables and egg gnocchi soup at noon, and everyone would eat it together. The three little bamboo sisters cheered, took Lin Qing, and looked at a place, and the four of them scattered in all directions, looking down carefully.
Lin Qing is very picky, the wild vegetables she digs are the most tender, and if they are not newly grown, they will not be wanted at all, and after looking for a while, she moved to another place, and there are only a few in Xiaopang's hands.
"You can't dig like this for a day, and you won't have enough to eat. A clear young man's voice suddenly sounded behind him, with a teasing tone and a strong smile.
Lin Qing looked back, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, standing thin and tall not far away, wearing a shorter shirt and pants, looking at her with a smile, familiar and unfamiliar.
