Chapter 3 Mother has an uncle
Zhou Hui is Jiang Xiaolin's cousin and the daughter of Jiang's mother's younger brother Zhou Quan, who gave birth to two daughters before having a son. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Hui is the eldest daughter of the family, without Jiang Xiaolin's good life, like most girls in the village, she has done no less work outside the family since she was a child, and she only finished elementary school.
Jiang Xiaolin has never been close to this cousin, but she was fished up from the river, thanks to this cousin's care.
Seeing Zhou Hui coming into the house, Shan Lin sat on the kang and looked at her, and smiled politely at her.
Zhou Hui was a little embarrassed, what happened to her cousin, although she herself has always been envious of this cousin, but Xiaolin's cousin has never been close to her. She also knows that her cousin reads a lot of books, so naturally she can't look down on a rude and uneducated rural girl like herself.
Jiang Xiaolin's smile made her a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Hui put down the basket on her arm, first moved the kang table onto the kang, and took out the lunch brought to Jiang Xiaolin from the basket: "I'm hungry, I've been lying down for a day and a night, let's eat something." ”
Steamed buns, pickles, millet porridge and scrambled eggs, this is already a meal that my uncle's family wants to try their best to take care of her body and supplement her with nutrients.
Shan Lin thought that she would not be able to eat it, but in fact, this body was still used to accepting these foods, and after being hungry for a long time, this meal was actually very sweet.
While she was eating, Zhou Hui said a few words to her, and she learned that after being rescued from the river, her uncle and aunt wanted to take her to live at her uncle's house, afraid that she would live at home alone, and no one would take care of her and be sad.
However, the Jiang family's uncle and aunt didn't agree to anything, and the uncle and aunt had no choice but to give up. But she still let her cousin take care of her for a day, and only went home in the morning, and came to bring her lunch at noon.
After eating, Zhou Hui took away all the dishes and bowls and took them home to wash, and told her to rest well and not to think nonsense.
The Zhou family is not in Bazhuang Village, but in the Zhou family camp three miles away, Zhou Hui is a simple and simple rural girl, taking care of the Jiang family's cousin, and adding a lot of work to her, but she thinks that her cousin's family has suffered such a big disaster, and her cousin doesn't know how sad to be, and she pities Jiang Xiaolin very much in her heart.
After Zhou Hui left, Shan Lin jumped off the kang.
She has been sleeping for a day and a night when she was rescued, this body is young in the end, and now that she has eaten enough, she feels that she has strength in her body again.
She looked at the Jiang family's small courtyard inside and out, Shan Lin had never had the experience of rural life in her previous life, and even the farmhouses she had visited when she traveled were very modern. It was the first time she had seen such a dilapidated and simple adobe house with stone courtyard walls.
Although this body has the memory of the original owner, the original owner is also a master who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, although there are some impressions in the memory of many living utensils here, but it is a little difficult for her to use it.
In any case, she still has to be familiar with this home, otherwise it is strange for others to see that she is still so unfamiliar with her home.
This afternoon, she tossed in these three cabins.
The hut where he lives is lackluster, except for some clothes, books, books are textbooks for school, there are no extracurricular books to read in this era, but it can be seen that the original owner Jiang Xiaolin is still very concerned about learning.
Although the parents' house is larger, the light is dim, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items, which looks more messy and simple than her house, it seems that Jiang's father and Jiang's mother left the well-lit house for their daughter to live in. There is also a stove room, connected to the kang of the parents' house, there is no rice, flour, grain and oil, it is empty, and it looks like it has been turned over and has not been cleaned up, which is very messy.
In my memory, the nest of chicks that Jiang's mother kept in the yard was also gone.
The Jiang family did not have a warehouse, and several bags of grain and miscellaneous items were piled up in his parents' room, and the house was locked.
Shan Lin really wanted to boil water and take a bath, but she couldn't use the farmhouse's stove, in fact, she couldn't make a fire, and even the original owner hadn't done it.
Seeing that it was almost evening, Zhou Hui came to bring her dinner again.
Summer meals don't need to be hot, just take them out and eat them. Zhou Hui brought two servings, and the two of them sat in Jiang Xiaolin's hut and began to eat dinner.
Zhou Hui ate very neatly, and after eating, she sat at the table and waited for Jiang Xiaolin to finish eating.
"You eat slowly, I'll squeeze in here with you for one night at night. ”
I'm afraid that she will sleep alone and think wildly, and she won't be able to think of a short-term view.
“…… Sister, don't worry, I've actually thought about it, people can't be resurrected after death, my parents are watching me from the sky, if I'm still looking for death, I really can't live with them. ”
"It's right that you can think like this, Ming'er will wait for me to go back and tell my parents, and they can rest assured. ”
"Sister, in fact, you don't have to stay here to accompany me, I really won't be unable to think about it anymore. My house is a mess, I want to clean it up, go to my parents' grave tomorrow, and then come to your house for a few days, do you think?"
"Cheng, my parents are looking forward to you...... But can they agree with your uncle?"
"I can agree. ”
Shan Lin smiled, she wanted to live at her uncle's house, why did anyone agree. Think about what her aunt said when she first woke up, and look at the situation of her family now being like a thief, and it is self-evident what the family said to her.
After eating, Shan Lin took the initiative to take the dishes and bowls to the stove room to wash, and Zhou Hui also followed, looked at the messy stove room, and didn't see anything outside, so she started to clean up.
"Sister, don't be busy, sit down for a while, I'll boil some water for you to drink. ”
Shan Lin washed the dishes and said without raising her head.
"What's polite, what's the water, I'll boil the water, you can take a bath later, the day before yesterday you fished it out of the water, and you wiped it, it must be uncomfortable." ”
Zhou Hui squatted in front of the stove and made a fire, brushed the cauldron and boiled the water.
Shan Lin was behind her, secretly remembering how to make a fire. will make a fire, and other things will not be difficult for her.
Zhou Hui saw that her mood was really calm, so she was relieved to go home, her younger sister was still in school, her younger brother was still young, and there were many things at home, waiting for her eldest sister to do.
Shan Lin went to the Jiang family's parents' house again, rummaged through her kang cabinet from memory, found the iron box where her mother put the money, opened it and counted it, and there were only more than 300 yuan. In fact, in the countryside of this era, there is not a few.
Rural people are self-sufficient in food and vegetables, and in this era, they cannot do business, and it is not easy for rural people to save some money. This is the money that her parents saved for her to go to college.
Shan Lin sighed, through this matter, she can only come and be safe, and there is nothing else she can do.
In my memory, Jiang Xiaolin's grades are still very good, and it is estimated that it is no problem to be admitted to university. What about her, is it really going to take four years to go to college again? Jiang Xiaolin has been holding back her strength to take the university entrance examination, and if she is admitted and does not study, it will definitely attract people's attention. But if you go to university, it's also a difficult question where the tuition fees will come from in the next few years.
She thought about it, whether she went to college or not, she had to find some opportunities to do something, and it was necessary to have some income.
It's just that she is not familiar with this era, and she only knows that now people are not encouraged to do business, or even to make money, and every family is proud of poverty.
She didn't want to get into trouble, so she could only take her time, get in touch with people more, and probe everyone's tone. You can also find an opportunity to go around the county seat and see the situation in the city.
