17. Chapter 17

When they arrived at the entrance of Liujiawa Village, Zhou Yun and Zhou Dafang waited at the edge of the village, and when Zhou Shengwu sent people out, they went to Linjiawan together.

When she arrived at her biological mother's yard, Ye Hui was busy with a man around a round gong set up on a half-person-high cement pool, she was only wearing a shirt and sweating profusely. And the man didn't know what he was muttering. Water flowed out of the gong and landed in the concrete pool.

"Concubine!" Zhou Shengwu called first.

"You're coming!" Ye Hui jumped down from the pool, picked up the coat on the firewood pile and put it on, with a look of surprise on her face. She is of medium stature, with a goose egg face, apricot eyes, willow eyebrows, and a docile temperament. Zhou Yun looks most like her.

"We're here to help you grind the powder. Zhou Shengwu scratched his hair and said. The concubine is kind and generous to them, eats well at home, watches color TV, and gives him pocket money after work, he has always been happy to help.

"I'll come over and help you cook and do chores. Zhou Dafang also smiled.

Zhou Yun was left, seeing her biological mother again, she had complicated feelings, and finally said: "I'm going to take a look and prepare to take a bath in the town." ”

"It's good to come, it's good to come!" Ye Hui didn't expect to see her little daughter at this time, and she couldn't help but say it twice.

Ye Hui rested, and the man on the pool also jumped down, smirked, and muttered, "I'm tired, don't do it!" walked to the side and squatted.

Zhou Yun recognized that he was a fool from the family behind his biological mother's house, called Lin Dajiang, but he had already come out of five suits. It is said that I don't know if I failed the exam or was replaced by the exam results, and I went crazy at a young age. After his parents died, his biological mother helped him farm a land, gave him some daily necessities, and he sometimes came to his biological mother's house to help.

"Are your parents okay?" Since I said that Xiaofang came back, my sister-in-law was angry, and I thought that my nephew would not come this year. Seeing the three children at this time, Ye Hui felt much more at ease.

"Okay, but my parents are still taking care of the family, and they can't come, no, they said that your family didn't grow it, and let us bring cabbage over. ”

"Eh, what are you selling money for?"

"Anyway, it grows in my own field, and it's not worth much. ”

"Then I'll open it up now so I don't get worn out on the bike. ”

Ye Hui took out scissors from the kitchen and cut the nylon string that was tied, she and Zhou Shengwu each carried one, tied down the sack, put a few on the firewood piled up on the side of the house, and spread the rest on the roof of the Westinghouse bungalow to dry. After coming down, he let a few people into the house.

Lin Yuan also came out, smiled at them, and went back to the room with a few bags of instant noodles, the same as ham sausages, this is the most popular and popular snack in the countryside at the moment, come over and hand it to a few people, "Brother, sister, you can eat." ”

He is eleven years old this year, only as tall as Zhou Yun's chest, skinny, with a big head and a thin body, very uncoordinated, like a little radish head. Only two eyes are very spiritual, which makes people think that he is beautiful.

In all fairness, this younger brother, who was born with the expectation of his parents, did not have a good life as many of their girls when he was young. The eldest sister Lin Tong is not to mention, she is the first child in the family, and her grandmother was still healthy at that time, and the family took care of her. The second sister Lin Lu is similar, she has a lively and cheerful personality and is also favored. Zhou Yun was sent to the second aunt's family and received a lot of care.

Only Lin Yuan, a few months after he was born, his grandmother was found to have advanced cancer and died half a year later. The biological mother has to work, the biological father has to go to work, and he is afraid that others will say that it will affect his work, so he never dared to say that Lin Yuan was his own child, and he was placed in Lin Dajiang's house not long after he was born.

Lin Dajiang's parents, Lin Wuye, were nearly seventy years old at that time, and there was still a mess at home, so they didn't have time to take care of Lin Yuan, so the old man put him in the pocket of picking up garbage and carried him away, or let him crawl around by himself. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Yuan grew up in a garbage heap when he was young, and among their sisters, he had the worst physical foundation.

Zhou Yun once thought that he later suffered from hepatitis, firstly, his family did not know how to pay attention to a healthy diet, and secondly, it was probably the reason for the poor physical resistance. Otherwise, the three girls had never been vaccinated and all had antibodies on their own, and only this one boy got sick. And the girlfriend of the daughter of the county party secretary's family, whom he met in high school and talked about in college, also fell through. A series of subsequent encounters were actually related to his hepatitis B.

Looking at Lin Yuan, Zhou Yun said, "Don't eat, I want to take a bath early." "Since she came back from rebirth, she has only taken a bath, and she has not taken a serious bath once, and she feels that her body is itching. But now it's cold, her adoptive parents won't let her wash, and there is no bathhouse in their township, so they have persisted until now.

Ye Hui stood up and went to the house to change out of her pants that were full of scum and mud, "Okay, I'll go to the town with you to buy some meat." ”

"Concubine, they are all from their own family, just eat some casually, don't bother to buy meat!" "Originally, when the family was poor, the braised pork burned by the concubine's family always made him drool, and now he often eats it after selling peanuts, he is no longer hungry for meat, and he is here to work, how to make the concubine break the bank?

"I haven't eaten for a long time, I should eat some supplements!" Ye Hui smiled heartily and pushed the bicycle to prepare to go out.

The two of them each pushed a car and went out of the yard Zhou Yun said, "Mom, I have something to say to you." ”

Looking at this slim little daughter, who was already taller than herself, Ye Hui's heart was happy and sour, "Say it." ”

Zhou Yun was a little silent, Ye Hui didn't urge her, and the two pushed the car forward. There was a path under the wall outside the yard, and on the side of the road was a pile of wheat straw, and at this time several chickens were looking for something to eat in the wheat straw pile. When the two of them approached, they flew to the courtyard wall.

Walking past are Lin Dajiang's two old houses, between the two houses, there is a vacant land the size of a homestead, and now it is planted with paulownia trees.

Until he reached the clearing, Zhou Yun stopped, "I told my parents that I won't come back." ”

I had just come back to my senses from the joy of seeing my daughter, and suddenly I heard something like this. Although she knew that she didn't support her, and she couldn't raise her kindness, Ye Hui still felt like a knife was poking her heart.

She smiled bitterly for a long time, "It's because we're sorry for you, I didn't dare to think about it after your mother said that she didn't want you to come back." I just hope that this matter will not affect the relationship of relatives, I am not robbing my daughter with them, I just think that now that I am not strict, I can make up for the care that should be given to you. Anyway, my parents raised you so much, and I can only be grateful. ”

In just one paragraph, Ye Hui said in fragments.

Zhou Yun looked at her, and there was a strange kindness in her heart, is this the connection of blood?

"They raised me, and I got used to that home. And you should be used to living without me, just keep it as you are. ”

"Xiaofang, it doesn't matter if you don't come back, but would you like to transfer here to school? You have also seen that we farmers are really miserable, and I also want you to be admitted to university and find a stable job like your sister Tong. After graduating from junior college, Lin Tong went to work in a large state-owned enterprise in a prefecture-level city with the help of her uncle, which has always been the pride of the Lin family.

As she spoke, Ye Hui's eyes moistened, "I was reluctant to send you away at that time, but I can't let others say that your father has no household registration!

Zhou Yun took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it over, "Don't cry, it's not good for others to see it." They were also very nice to me, and they didn't have any bitterness. "She is no longer the little girl who felt abandoned when she was a child, she is already at peace.

Ye Hui slowly collected her tears, took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to Zhou Yun, "You can take the pocket money, and tell me when you are short of money." ”

The two hundred yuan in 1997 was almost more than 1,000 yuan of purchasing power later, which seemed too much to a junior high school student, Zhou Yun didn't want to accept it, but when she saw her biological mother's begging and guilty eyes, she still took it silently. This obviously made Ye Hui breathe a sigh of relief.

After saying that, the two rode into the car and soon arrived in the town, Ye Hui went to buy meat and vegetables, and Zhou Yun went to take a bath. She came with her school bag with a change of clothes and toiletries.

The bathhouse was opened in one of the houses, and a small boiler was built in the yard to boil hot water. Zhou Yun lifted the thick cotton curtain and went in, and the heat came to his face, but the price was also expensive, at this time, the bathhouse in the county was only two yuan, and this one cost five yuan, but there was only this one in the town, and it could only be washed here.

Fortunately, there is a separate bathroom with a large porcelain bathtub and a shower. Zhou Yun naturally didn't want to use the bathtub used by others, so she turned on the shower and waited for the water to be hot before taking off her clothes and going in.

Habitually, she looked at her birthmark first, and I don't know if she was delusional, but she always felt that the color was lighter. However, it is impossible for the birthmark to be light-colored, she is a little unconvinced, thinking that it may be the reason for the moisture and poor light.

After washing it for a while, after wiping her hair half-dry, Zhou Yun wrapped her head with a scarf, leaving only two eyes outside, and then pushed the bicycle out.

She had already told her biological mother that the two of them would go back separately, and now she could look at the town unhurriedly, as if she was walking in a tunnel of time. The middle street is a spacious asphalt road, on both sides of the road, there are mostly two-story small buildings, shops below, people living above, but there are all kinds of sales.

Suddenly, she heard a voice with a trilling voice, "Zhou Yun?"

Who is this? It's so tightly wrapped that you can still recognize her. Looking back, Zhou Yun saw Zhang Zezheng looking at her excitedly.
