"Auntie, you say, you say she ......"
Uncle Zhang's name is Zhang Qiyun, he is an honest and honest peasant man, and it is his heart that the couple has not had children over the years. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Now that his wife and himself are getting old, and children are even more extravagant in his heart.
He had just returned from the landlord's house and heard his wife tell him about it.
Thinking that this girl eats more than her body is weaker, and she looks like she stands out in everything, she put down the hoe on her shoulder in surprise and looked at her wife in disbelief and asked.
You must know that this girl was picked up by him from the water, her figure is thoughtful, she is well-dressed, she is from a big family, and he never thought of taking her in as his daughter.
"Ling'er said, as long as we don't dislike her, she is our daughter. It's a pity that she doesn't remember everything before, Brother Yun, what do you see? ”
Seeing the surprise of his wife's mouth and trembling joy, thinking that she would have such a child, Aunt Zhang was indescribably happy, and suddenly disappeared the little disgust for the evening bell in her heart, and happily pulled her over to introduce her husband, and asked him at the same time, with anticipation in her eyes and the joy of having a child.
"I don't have a problem with seeing how happy you are. I'm just afraid that our family has wronged the girl......"
The wife was happy, and Uncle Yun was also happy, thinking about the situation when he saw the evening bell at that time, and thinking about their family's embarrassment.
"Uncle Yun, Aunt Zhang, I don't feel wronged by following you at all, but because someone finally took me in, I finally have a family, and I can't say how happy I am. As long as you don't feel stupid and don't feel hungry, I'll go out to find something to eat, and I believe that as long as we all work together, the life of this family will get better and better. Isn't it? ”
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang had the same look, thinking about their past life experience, Wan Ling knew that even if she wanted to avenge the Feng family and uphold justice for the Feng family, with her current situation where even food and clothing were a problem, it would be easy to talk about.
Since God let her meet this kind couple, this is also the reason why she has seen that although the two of them live in poverty and have nothing to eat and drink at home these days, they still let her eat and drink, who is just an outsider they rescued from the water.
Now she can fill her belly, and it touches her.
"Well, girl, then you can live here in peace. This will be your home from now on. Auntie, hurry up and cook, I have to go to the rich man's house to work in the afternoon. ”
Seeing that she didn't dislike the poor family at all, Uncle Yun looked at her with relief and said that he wanted to go to work in the afternoon, and go outside to wash his hands and explain to his wife.
"Okay, I'll go cook for you, Ling girl, you are weak, go back to the courtyard and sit first, my aunt will cook immediately, and you will eat some later."
Settle this matter, thinking that this family finally has a child. Although this girl looks fifteen or sixteen years old and her health is not very good, after all, she will be their child in the future, Aunt Zhang still responded happily, went to the kitchen, and thought about Wanling's body and said with concern.
She has no money in her body now, and she really doesn't know what disease she has, but seeing that her whole body has improved a lot after eating, Aunt Zhang still thinks that as long as she eats more, her body will gradually improve.
"Auntie, uncle, I just ate it, and it's much better now. Cook and eat it first, and I'll go outside and see if there's anything to eat." ”
I thought that there was nothing else to eat in the kitchen except for the five corn nests she had brought back, which were not even the size of her fist, and she had already eaten two. The old man has been giving her delicious food these days, and she has just eaten more comfortably, although she heard her talk about eating, her stomach trembled.
Still chuckling at them, he turned his head and took a small basket from the door and a small pickaxe out the door.
"This child, go out after eating, she is in good health, Brother Yun, she is weak, she still calls her back, and then she will go out to find food when she is better."
Aunt Zhang saw her running out with a basket and a pickaxe, thinking about her body and shouting to stop. Seeing that she had gone out, she said to Brother Yun who followed her into the kitchen while lighting the fire.
"She wants to go out for a walk, so let her go out for a walk. The child's body is weaker, and it is better to move more. Feel relieved. When I get money from Rich Zhang's house in the afternoon, I can buy some cornmeal or rice for her to make some delicious food for her to replenish her body. ”
Aunt Zhang's worries and concerns, Uncle Yun shook the water in his hand, and at the same time said to her, picking up the water scoop next to him and "knocking and knocking" for a while.
"It's fine. In the afternoon, I also went to the rich man's daughter-in-law to see if I could get a job, plus the things I usually embroidered, I tried to scrape together some money to find a doctor for this girl. ”
Brother Yun said this, Aunt Zhang walked outside and took the cabbage leaves with yellow leaves that her husband picked up from the kitchen door of the landlord's house and washed them.
"It's okay, you can embroider things in the spare time, although you don't have much money, you can make a few dollars a day. It's time to put the vegetables, plus these corn nests that I chopped up, and it's ready to eat. ”
Wife's words, Uncle Yun took the remaining three nests on the case, chopped them into minced pieces, opened the pot and put the vegetables in it, and at the same time put the corn nests in it, added a little raw salt, and boiled a pot.
Just as Aunt Zhang and Uncle Yun were talking about cooking at home, Wan Ling had already carried the basket to the field at the foot of the mountain at the door.
Looking at the lush pea seedlings in the field in front of him, there were green and some plump peas at this time, although Wanling wanted to pick some peas and cook them back to eat. But she knew that in the entire Liujia Village, except for a few rich peasants who had their own land, the others were rented land and advocated by the rich man's family.
Although Aunt Zhang and her surname are the same, they are outsiders, and they have no land at all, so they can only rely on Uncle Yun to go out to work as long-term or short-term workers to get some money or food.
She wanted to pick other people's beans and cut off Uncle Zhang's future livelihood, although she wanted to, she still licked her lips, walked to the edge of the field, and was pleasantly surprised to find some gray cabbage and cockscomb.
Before the crossing, although she was born in the city, she would go to her grandmother's house in the countryside every New Year's holiday, but she was lucky to know these. Thinking that these things could be eaten, the evening bell happily picked them on the spot.
Unbeknownst to her, she was leaning down to pick.
At this time, a figure swayed by the field not far behind her. This is a thin man with a sharp beak and a monkey cheek and a face full of impropriety. This man's name is Liu Ergou, and he is a rare gangster in Liujia Village. Usually, he doesn't dare to mess with people from big families, but he does not mess with those who are timid, old, weak, sick, disabled, or bullying women and girls.
No, look at the noon day, although the early spring day is not very hot, but this girl squatted on the ground, with a shabby bamboo basket and a small pickaxe beside her, wearing a shabby gown with patches, but the back figure is graceful and abnormal, the hair is docile and black and shiny wrapped in a simple turban, and the hair that falls down from picking weeds with her hands is swaying back and forth in her ears.
What's more important is that with her back to him, the skin exposed on her neck and the white and smooth face that looks brighter than egg whites on her head, the neck moves back and forth with her picking hand, and the red ribbon tied there, everyone here is like this, and unmarried women will wear belly pockets with red ribbons before they get married.
Looking at her like this, the red ribbon swaying forward with her figure in front of him, the graceful figure, the fair-skinned skin that is rare for everyone else in the village to be broken, and the hair that caresses his heart like a feather with the wind, Liu Ergou can't help but feel itchy.
"Yo, whose girl is this? I don't go home to eat at noon, but I pick these wild grasses that I can't eat at all. ”
Thinking about it, Liu Ergou still stepped forward, stepped forward and kicked the basket that Wan Ling put on his side, seeing that she was panicked because she had kicked her basket in front of her, grabbed it in her hand, and looked at her with a light smile and asked.
