Taohua Village is on the edge of a small city in central Hunan Province, bordering a small number of famous ethnic groups. There are more than 100 families living in Taohua Village, and Taohua has two surnames, most of the east side of the river is very forested, and a large part of the west side is surnamed Yang.

Lin Xue appeared in such a small village, where the grandfather had four sons, Lin Xue's father Lin Errong ranked second, Lin Xue's eldest uncle Lin Darong above, and the third uncle Lin Sanrong and fourth uncle Lin Sirong below. And Lin Xue also has a little aunt Lin Caihong.

At home, grandparents are more patriarchal, and for their parents are dual-income workers, they can only give birth to Lin Xue as a child, or a girl, they always face their parents with noses not noses, and mouths not mouths.

Lin Xue took the basket and filled it with some chaff, and today her father called back and said that he would go home for dinner in the evening. Lin Xue fed the chickens first, and then went to the vegetable garden to pick leeks and peppers and cook a delicious meal for her parents.

"Xiaoxue, you feed the chickens!" The third aunt next door is holding a bucket to go to the bridgehead to fetch water, and there are two wells in Taohua Village, one on the east side of the river and the other on the west side of the river, but the well on the east side of the river is on the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, and the well on the west side of the river is near the west of the village by the wooden bridge that communicates the east and west sides of the village. Every afternoon, when the sun was about to set, the women on the east side of the village went back to the bridge to fetch water. The women who came and went carried buckets and gossiped about the rights and wrongs of the village all the way, making the whole dusk very lively.

"Yes! Third aunt, you go fetch water! Lin Xue's third aunt Cai Fang is an honest rural woman, married into the Lin family at the beginning of last year, and followed her grandparents to eat for three months, and her grandmother separated the third uncle and the third aunt with twenty catties of rice, a jar of lard, and two adobe houses.

"Did you carry water? It's a hot day, I'll help you pick it up later! After the third aunt finished speaking, the tall and thin figure had already left the courtyard of her house.

Lin Xue is only nine years old, and she usually goes to the well to fetch water in the morning, otherwise she really can't get water in the afternoon, especially when the hot water level drops in the hot weather, she can't get water at all. Dad came back from the factory in a week, and Mom went out early and returned late every day, but she would come back every day and help Lin Xue cook breakfast in the morning before going out. Lin Xue ate at school at noon, and came back in the evening to cook her own food and wait for her mother to come home to eat.

Waiting for Lin Xue to pick vegetables, washing rice and cooking, and folding vegetables in the cherry tree in the yard with a stool. I thought that I would use the chicken I picked up this morning to fry the leeks, and then fry the chili peppers left by my mother's oil extraction, and then cook a green vegetable soup. Mom and Dad must love it.

While fantasizing about telling my father that he would give himself a gift on his birthday this year, because he will be ten years old today in December. (In the countryside, it is said that children have passed the Tongguan after their tenth birthday, and they have to hold a birthday banquet.) ）

Our Xiao Lin Xue is still in her own dreams, and she doesn't know that fate is playing a big joke with her.

―――――― the dividing line of my dreams---

It was getting darker and darker, Xiao Lin Xue had already prepared the meal and put it on the cool table in the courtyard, moved four chairs, turned on the lights in the yard, and tilted her little head to wait for her parents to come home.

"Little snow fast! Come with me. "I haven't waited for Xiaoxue from my parents yet, and I have waited for the uncle of the Pan family in the next village. Uncle Pan picked up Xiaoxue and walked out, without saying anything to Xiaoxue.

"Uncle Pan, where are you taking me, my parents said they were coming back for dinner, and I had to wait for them." Xiao Lin Xue frightened Uncle Pan, tears swirled in her eyes, and she grabbed Uncle Pan's shoulder and bit it hard.

"Yikes!" Uncle Pan didn't expect this little child to react so much, and he actually took a bite on his shoulder, what a little wolf cub. "Child, something happened to your parents, come with me to the hospital."

"Coaxing", I don't know what exploded in Lin Xue's head, she didn't understand what was wrong, no matter how she knew that going to the hospital was definitely not a good thing. The aunt and grandmother in the past year went to the hospital and then didn't come back.

Uncle Pan saw that the little doll in his arms was silent, so he stupidly let himself go out. Ay! This child is also a hard worker, this Uncle Lin Fu originally looked at Errong and his family unpleasantly, this child is a female baby, this Errong and the two of them have an accident, how can this baby survive.

Lin Xue was stunned and Uncle Ren Pan was carried into the hospital, he saw his grandparents, his uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, little aunt and little uncle, and many uncles and uncles of the Lin family in Peach Blossom Village. Just didn't see his parents, Lin Xue stared at the white coat doctors coming and going in the hospital corridor, and wanted to ask where his parents were, but he didn't know who to ask.

"Light snow." Aunt Lin Caihong looked at her little niece standing in the corner of the wall stupidly, so unspeakably lonely and helpless, her heart was like a knife, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

"Little aunt...... What about my mom and dad? Lin Xue has always been close to Lin Cai, and when she saw her little aunt reaching out to hug her, her whole body immediately leaned over.

"You broom star, you are embarrassed to ask, just because of you, we have never been born in the old Lin family, you see...... You see...... You're going to kill your dad! And when the little aunt Lin Caihong answered, Grandma Lin, who was originally crying at the other end of the corridor, saw Lin Xue in Lin Caihong's arms, and immediately pointed at the little Lin Xue and cursed like crazy.

"Mom......" Lin Caihong didn't know what to say to her mother, she had become prejudiced against the girls in the family since she was a child, and she couldn't even please her own daughter.

"What the hell...... You money-loser, go aside, I must strangle this broom star today......" Grandma Lin pushed away the little aunt, reached out and scraped an ear on Xiao Lin Xue's face.

Xiao Lin Xue didn't know if she was stupid when she heard the news of her father's death, or because she was stupid to shave Grandma Lin's ear, so she just stood there stupidly and didn't cry or make trouble.

Looking at the distinct five finger prints on Xiao Lin Xue's face, none of the other men in the Lin family made a sound. Only the little aunt was alone, and she stepped forward to hug Xiao Lin Xue. "Mom, she's your granddaughter, big brother...... Why don't you stop Mom? Father...... Xiaoxue is the second brother's flesh and blood. Lin Caihong looked at his so-called relatives coldly.

Lin Xue hugged her little aunt's neck, she knew that everyone here bullied her, only the little aunt hurt herself.

Grandma Lin glared at her daughter, Grandpa Lin couldn't see the crying daughter and the stunned granddaughter, he now wants to know what the second factory says, how much money is lost, this is a fire in the house in the factory, this is finally a problem in the factory.

The eldest of the Lin family looked at his sister and niece, didn't say anything, and looked away, he came here to wait for the old man to say that there were too many people, and the leaders in the second factory would be afraid, and they would lose more money.

"Little sister, you take Xiaoxue to see the second brother and second sister-in-law, it's inside." Lin Sanrong pulled his mother, it was not that he didn't want to care, but he really didn't break his mother.

Lin Caihong glanced at her brothers, the eldest brother and the fourth brother she couldn't count on at all, and the third brother was honest, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to move Xiaoxue or anything. Holding Kobayashi Xue and walking towards the door in front.

Lin Xue saw two people lying inside, and she knew from listening to the words of the third uncle that they were her parents. "Hmm...... Not...... Mom and Dad...... "Xiao Linxue crawled on the shoulder of the little aunt and cried, and in the afternoon, she told her that she was going home for dinner, and now she is lying there, why? Why is this happening? Xiao Lin Xue didn't believe it at all.

"Xiaoxue...... Shrewd! Lin Caihong didn't know how to comfort this crying child at all, even if she just shaved her ears and didn't shed tears like Grandma Lin, the tears would soak her clothes.

No matter how sensible Xiao Lin Xue is, she is still just a little girl who is not ten years old, crying and crying and falling asleep on Lin Caihong's shoulder.
