Xiahe Village is located in Hebei Province, not far from Yanjing City, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is located at the intersection of Yanzhao and Zhao, since ancient times, it is also regarded as the main road for soldiers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The north side of Xiahe Village is mountainous, but Xiahe Village is a flat river, where the land is fertile, with mountains in the north and a big river in the south, and the scenery is not bad.

It's just that in the end, it is a mountain village, generally speaking, the development is lagging behind, the transportation is inconvenient, and people still retain many good and bad ancient customs and customs.

There is a river in the south of Xiahe Village, and this river has no name, and the people in the village call it a big river.

It was noon, the families had eaten, the children had gone out to play, and the women of the family had taken their clothes and gathered by the river to wash their clothes during the lunch break.

A lot of big girls and little daughters-in-law got together to talk and laugh, and they didn't feel that it was too hard, and the clothes were washed.

Among the laundry washers was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a white floral gown, student blue trousers, and black square-toe shoes with corduroy.

Although the style of the clothes is old-fashioned, this woman is very neatly tidy.

She was doing the laundry and laughing with people.

Squatting next to her to wash clothes is the second daughter-in-law of the Wang family, whose surname is Jin Chunhua.

Jin Chunhua washed a piece of clothing and put it in the basin, turned her head and saw Shen Baozhu, who was sitting on the bank of the river smiling and smiling, pouted, and said to the middle-aged woman who was busy with laundry: "Aunt Ji, your family is too accustomed to daughters, your family is thirteen years old, and you don't do anything, you wipe your mouth after eating and be the shopkeeper, this is not good, how can such a lazy girl find her in-laws in the future?"

Aunt Ji's surname is Ji Mingqin, and she is Shen Baozhu's mother.

She glanced back at Shen Baozhu, feeling a little dissatisfied, but in front of outsiders, she still replied to Shen Baozhu: "Chunhua, Baozhu is different from others, isn't she still in school, plus she studies well and knows how to work hard, her father and I thought that if she can be admitted to university and live in the city in the future, she won't have to farm hard every day like us, so ah, I don't ask her to do anything, just ask her to study." ”

"Cut. Jin Chunhua crooked her mouth: "Then she has to appreciate it, you see that she hasn't read a book now, she is not sitting there in a daze, she knows that she is cranky, and she doesn't know how to help you work, what is such a girl still raising, if it were me, I would have slapped it earlier." ”

Ji Qin smiled and didn't answer again, just washed her clothes.

When she finished washing her clothes, she called Shen Baozhu: "Baozhu, come and help my mother carry the clothes back." ”

Ji Qin washed a large basin of clothes, the clothes were dry, there was not much weight, but when it was wet, it was much heavier, Ji Qin was really hard to get alone, so she had to ask Shen Baozhu to help.

When Shen Baozhu heard this, she stood up softly and weakly, walked to Ji Qin's side and bent down, she didn't lift the basin even if she tried to feed, her eyes were red and she looked up, and she looked so aggrieved that she couldn't do it: "Mother, I can't lift it, I'll go home and call my eldest brother to ......"

Ji Qin was anxious when she heard this, and frowned: "I can't lift such a little thing, and I still call you eldest brother, your eldest brother is in his third year of high school, and he will take the college entrance examination next year, don't delay his study." ”

As she spoke, Ji Qin used all her strength to pick up the basin.

Because the basin was too heavy, Ji Qin couldn't walk a few steps no matter how hard she tried, so she had to take a few steps to put the basin down and rest, and then pick it up and walk again, just moving it home little by little.

And Shen Baozhu followed Ji Qin like this, and he didn't mean to help at all.

Ji Qin worked hard herself, and she didn't ask Shen Baozhu to help again, but her frowning brows and pursed lips repeatedly showed that she was in a bad mood, and she was angry with Shen Baozhu.

The women washing clothes by the river saw this scene and expressed sympathy for Ji Qin.

Especially Jin Chunhua, who whispered to other women next to her: "Aunt Ji really spoiled her daughter, I see, she will suffer in the future." ”

"It's not that Aunt Ji is used to Shen Baozhu. People who know some inside information whispered to Jin Chunhua explained: "It turns out that Aunt Ji gave birth to three children, and the fourth child gave birth to Baozhu, so naturally her eyes hurt, but it is strange to say, Baozhu has not been close to Aunt Ji since she was a child, and because Aunt Ji did not sit well in confinement, she didn't have much milk, Baozhu didn't eat much when she was a child, and her body and bones have been weaker since she was a child. ”

Another person said: "The back of the pearl has grown up, more delicate and weak, others have not said anything and cried, this is nothing to put in the big family, but it will be troublesome in our village, who is impatient to cry like this, what kind of girl who doesn't do anything, no way, for the sake of Shen Baozhu's future, Aunt Ji had to grit her teeth for her to study, thinking that she would be able to jump out of the farm gate to work in the city in the future." ”

"Aunt Ji is not easy. Looking at Ji Qin's tired bent waist, Jin Chunhua sighed.

And at this time, a silver-gray car drove on the way into the village by the river.

The women by the river saw the cars and exclaimed: "God, is this coming to our village? Could it be that the county magistrate has gone to the countryside?"

Jin Chunhua was a little knowledgeable, she laughed: "What county magistrate, the county magistrate can't afford such a good car, and I don't know which big official has come to our poor country." ”

"Look at the big official, look at the big official......"

A group of children shouted and chased after them.

The women didn't bother to do the laundry, so they all packed up and followed with their clothes basins.

In the early 80s, there was no television or movie in the countryside, and the spiritual life of the rural people was very poor.

Whoever loses a chicken, whoever dies a dog, can spread the word throughout the village.

Not to mention seeing this kind of high-end car enter the village, it didn't take much effort, and almost all the idlers in the village ran after the car.

In the car, Song De and Fang Fang whispered.

Fang Fang asked Song De: "Can't be wrong again, is this village?"

Song De nodded: "I asked the comrades in the township today, and it is this village." ”

Song Linxian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the familiar small mountain village in a daze, and his mind was full of many things about his life here in his previous life.

There are scenes of washing clothes by the river with Ji Qin, pictures of following the second brother to catch pheasants and rabbits, and pictures of picking sour dates and wild grapes with the third brother.

What she can't forget the most is that Ji Qin is frugal and buys clothes for her from the market to make clothes, and whatever is delicious is eaten by her first.

Although the Shen family's grandmother was a little displeased, but when the Shen family's grandmother had something delicious, she would give her a little, and she would say duplicitously that she didn't like to eat, that it was not delicious, that it was very hard, and that she couldn't chew it.

Many pictures flashed in front of Song Linxian.

She took a deep breath and looked out the car window, almost crying.

She couldn't forget the figure on the side of the road in front of her who was trying her best to hold the basin, and Shen Baozhu who was following that person knew even if she turned to ashes.

"Parking. ”

Song Linxian suddenly shouted.

The driver was startled, but he quickly stopped the car.

"Lin Xian, what are you doing?" Fang Fang was a little displeased.

Song Linxian ignored her, pushed open the door and got out of the car, walked to Ji Qin's side in a few steps, and stretched out his hands to help Ji Qin carry the basin: "I'll help you." (To be continued.) )
