Liujia bamboo forest.
The midday sun was bright and warm, shining through the gap in the bamboo forest on the two figures in the forest.
Liu Dongshan was weaving baskets, and beside him, there were some bamboo strips and baskets that had been braided.
His expression was peaceful, and his movements in his hands were swift and orderly. A few soft rays of light pierced through the treetops, reflecting his earnest face.
Whenever he was tired and his neck ached, he would put down the work in his hand, look up at the treetops, look at the blue sky and white clouds for a while, and then lower his head and continue to weave his unfinished work.
Not far from the bamboo forest, there is a small grass hut.
The hut was full of firewood from the house, large firewood, pine hairs that started the fire, and a few bundles of sun-dried straw. A lazy black and white kitten crouches on a bundle of hay, squinting and taking a leisurely nap.
In the grass hut, there was still a girl sitting at this time. This girl is none other than Liu Ginkgo, who is already pregnant.
Although her belly has not yet protruded, and whether she is really ready to be a mother, or even whether she is truly willing to keep this child, her face still has a maternal glow that is different from before.
She was sitting in the straw hut, rubbing the straw rope. Winter is coming, weaving these straw ropes, and then using these straw ropes to surround the Chinese cabbage in the field, so that the cabbage can survive the winter safely and will not rot.
On top of some cabbage, you only need to bury some soil and cover some dry straw. But in the village, it is customary to cover the cabbage with a straw pile twisted from this straw rope, so that the cabbage will be kept more intact.
Moreover, ropes are limited at home, and ropes are needed to go up the mountain to collect firewood or bundle things. Although this straw rope is made of straw, it is very solid. It's enough to deal with some everyday things.
These things were originally done by Ma and Liu Shenjiang. However, Liu Yinxing saw that her father and mother were old, and her cervical spine was not very good, so if she kept her head down like this, her body would be uncomfortable. She's fine anyway, so instead of being idle, it's better to do them a little favor. Do something.
After these days, Liu Yinxing's mentality has become more and more peaceful, and many things have been thought about. Despite many nights. I still can't help but feel sad about my miserable experience and worry about my future life, but there are so many family members who care about her by her side and get through it with her. She must also fight hard and try to get out of this matter. Don't let them worry.
The child in her belly is only four months old, and her second sister-in-law is already six or seven months old, and her belly is already very big. The second brother not only has to take care of her every day, but also has to be busy with family affairs, and he is already very tired. She also knew that the second brother had always felt guilty about her for what happened last time. I hope to be kind and better to her, and it is because of this that she can't let him have so much pressure. I don't want him to blame himself for that.
Her father and mother cared more about her than before. Not only did she not want her to do anything, but she also had to take care of her mood when she said something, for fear of reminding her of something unhappy. Sometimes looking at their nervous and almost cautious appearance, Liu Yinxing was moved and sad at the same time.
She really didn't want everyone to worry about her. So no matter how many difficulties there are, no matter how many knots you have to overcome, you can't untie them. She won't let these emotions float on her face, she won't let them see it.
Of course, what she should do more than these is to listen to them, forget what happened in the past, and live well. This is the most urgent and only thing she needs to do at the moment.
In a short period of time, Liu Yinxing has changed from a willful and selfish little girl to a woman who can endure, be sensible, and know how to think about others. Although her upbringing was miserable, she also deserved to be happy for her. After all, she was not brought down by this incident.
Liu Ginkgo likes to stay with her eldest brother most often, perhaps because Liu Dongshan has the most peaceful temperament and doesn't like to talk too much, being with him can make Liu Ginkgo feel calm and think quietly.
Liu Dongshan taught her to weave grasshoppers and bamboo dragonflies, so that her fluctuating emotions slowly calmed down in weaving these small things, so that her heart was unprecedentedly calm.
Sometimes, sitting in the bamboo forest, bathing in the breeze with the fragrance of the leaves blowing from the distant mountain, listening to the crisp bamboo forest wind, and the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the bamboo leaves, Liu Ginkgo feels that his world is so peaceful and peaceful, without a little noise and trouble-
It would be nice if it could be like this forever.
But the peace that Liu Ginkgo hadn't gained for a long time was broken by two unpopular visitors on this day.
…………
"Aunt Ma - Aunt Ma - you are ...... Hurry up ......" Neighbor Erxiang kicked in a bad breath, didn't bother to knock on the door, ran directly to Liu's house, and found Ma Huanglian, who was busy with lunch in the kitchen.
"Yo~~ It's Erxiang, what are you running in such a hurry, hurry up, sit down and take a breath, and my aunt will pour you a glass of water to moisten your throat." Erxiang is the daughter of the neighbor Liu Laosan's family, thirteen years old this year, the little girl has been very lively and active since she was a child, and often runs to the old Liu's house to let Liu Yinxing, the big sister, play with her.
"Aunt Ma, I don't ...... Don't drink water, I'm here to tell you something~~" Erxiang kept patting his chest, giving himself a breath, just now this run, but she gasped to death, and the fire in her stomach was like smoke.
"What's the matter, look at you girl in a hurry."
"Aunt Ma, I just ran into ...... in the ditch in front of me Touching the ......" words came to his mouth, Er Xiang remembered that the Liu family hated to hear the most now was the Zhao family's affairs, but he was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, her aunt would immediately bombard her out.
But no matter what, if you don't say it, something big may happen, so it's better to say it in advance, and the aunt's family can be prepared.
"Who's coming?" Ma Huanglian looked at this girl, she was still in a hurry one moment, but she didn't say anything when the words came to her mouth the next moment, but she was in a hurry.
"Aunt Ma, I ran into those two people from the Zhao family."
As soon as he heard the words of the Zhao family, Ma's face immediately drooped.
"Aunt Ma, don't be angry, what I said is true, when I was doing laundry, I really saw the two of them. Master Zhao walked in front, Young Master Zhao walked behind, and I also heard Master Zhao ask someone to inquire where your house is. ”
Ma's face became more and more ugly, but at the same time, a layer of confusion rose in his eyes.
Those two who lack virtue and lose their conscience, ask what their family is doing? And Zhao Chenzong, who cut off his children and grandchildren, bullied other people's girls, and dared to come to their house to stir up trouble?
"As soon as I saw that something was wrong, I immediately put down my clothes in the river, and rushed back by the path, and said ...... to you."
"Bang! ~~" A dull sound came from behind Ma's, Ma's turned his head and saw the basket in his daughter-in-law Liu Yinxing's hand falling to the ground and rolling out.
Liu Yinxing's eyes widened in shock, looking at Ma Shi and Er Xiang, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Ma Shi hurriedly pounced and grabbed Liu Yinxing's hand that began to tremble, "Ginkgo, be good, it's okay, there's a mother here, it's okay~~ Good daughter, don't be afraid, it'll be fine~~"
"Mother, Erxiang, you just ...... What are you talking about? Liu Yinxing endured the fear in her heart and asked the two of them.
"Ginkgo......" Ma wanted to speak and stopped, if it weren't for Liu Ginkgo being by her side, she really wanted to scold those shameless embryos of the Zhao family for three days and three nights, hurt her daughter like this, and made her so worried-
"Mother, you were just talking about the Zhao family, what Zhao family? Isn't it ......"
"No, no, Ginkgo, you think about it, it's not the Zhao family, it's another family." Ma Shi panicked, knowing that Liu Yinxing would not believe such words, even if he himself would not believe it. But in the face of his distressed daughter, Ma was also panicked and had no idea at all.
Er Xiang bit her lip fiercely, to be honest, she was so sad to see Liu Yinxing like this. In the past, Sister Ginkgo was the most active, more active than her, and would often take her to the mountains and neighboring villages to play, to pick many delicious wild fruits to eat. Don't look at Sister Ginkgo as a girl, but she is cute and playful, and she is also very greedy, and she picks up wild fruits that are no worse than those boys.
But now, since that incident, Sister Ginkgo has completely changed as a person. It became so sad and lonely, and sometimes just looking at her, she couldn't help but want to cry......
My father and mother often talked about Sister Ginkgo, saying that she was pitiful, and if she met a bad man, her life might be ruined. She is also thirteen years old, and she has gradually understood many things, and she also knows how unfortunate what happened to Liu Yinxing.
Last time, when the Zhao family had a meeting, she and her mother went to join in the fun. Originally, the festival was done well, but who would have thought that something like that would happen in the end?
This is why, seeing Master Zhao and Zhao Chenzong at a glance, Er Xiang can recognize them at a glance. I wanted to say a few words to comfort Liu Yinxing, but she also knew that at this time, no matter what she said, she couldn't soothe Liu Yinxing's mood-
"Er Xiang, you say-" Liu Yinxing looked at her good sister Er Xiang, she was a person who couldn't hide her words, she would definitely tell her what they were talking about just now.
Liu Yinxing's eyes widened, waiting for her answer. From her empty pupils, Er Xiang understood a truth in a trance.
Regardless of whether her answer is yes or no, the impact of this incident on Liu Yinxing will not be able to be calmed down.
"Sister Ginkgo, I'...... I ......"
Before Er Xiang could speak, there was a sound of footsteps outside. The sound was getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, it was outside the door of Liu's house.
