Jiajia sat in the shade under a few willow trees by the river, and placed a wooden basin on a large washing stone board, which was mixed with grass and wood gray water.

Because the cleaning ability of plant ash is not strong, the clothes that need to be beaten often are also relatively easy to rot.

Seeing that Jiajia was washing clothes and there was no one around, Pei Yao sat on the stone next to her and chatted with her, and also had a simple understanding of Jiajia's family through chatting.

Jiajia's grandmother has four children, three sons and one girl. Jia Jia Dad is the boss, and he usually likes to read the most, because his grandmother is short-sighted, and he does not support or oppose Jia Jia Dad when he wants to take the exam, that is, if you have money, you will take the exam, and you can't delay subsidizing the family.

Therefore, Jiajia's father used Jiajianiang's dowry after marriage and was admitted to Tongsheng.

Because the burden of life is too great, the books, pens, ink and paper used for reading are not cheap, and I have to support my family, I work hard every day, and I can't pay off my wife's dowry, and I have to drag my wife to do housework hard inside and outside, embroidery every day to subsidize the family, and I am tired of my wife's first formed boy.

was stimulated and depressed, and finally was admitted to Xiucai in the year of her eldest brother 11, but she died of illness not long after the turn of the year, and the remaining orphans and widows were even more sad.

Jiajia's second uncle is the father-in-law of the second aunt who came to grab the chicken in the morning, and he is a little treacherous, but he has a sweet mouth and is shameless, and the old lady who coaxes Jiajia's grandmother turns around and believes everything.

said that he would provide for his grandmother and that his son would have no place to live when he got married, so he asked Kefu's Jia Jia Niang and her two children to move to the old house by the river, and divided the family but did not divide the family property, and said that these family properties were to pay off the debts for the boss, and the money that the boss had studied for so long was deducted from the money to subsidize the family.

In fact, it is to bully them that they have no pillars of the family, no heavy labor, and they eat more and less dry.

God knows how her father provided the family with the subsidized silver, and would rather suffer himself and his wife and children than lose a penny of silver. But they have two skins in their mouths, so they say that they are less.

As a result, they were forced to come to this grass hut that could not be inhabited at all, and forced their brother to go to the war to fight.

There is also a third aunt, who has already married to another village, and her life is quite passable, but she is similar to the second uncle and aunt, and she is only the one who can't get in.

Now there is a 25-year-old uncle who is not bad, but he can't beat a fart with a flat shoulder, and he is also an honest one to marry his first wife. Uncle is now even more than eating and working, he doesn't say a word, and he has no sense of existence at all.

So now Jiajia's family summarizes that her second uncle has the final say, and if she doesn't say it, she will have the final say in the name of her milk! Dizzy.

Pei Yao was a little strange: "According to what you say, your family is separated, why are you still robbed by the second aunt?" ”

Jiajia said: "Our family does not have enough food for grandma, because they asked the old people in the clan to ask for the elderly, saying that grandma is too old to do things, so our family will provide one stone of grain every year as alimony, while other families give 3 buckets, and only 5 buckets if they live well." ”

Jiajia is also unbalanced: "My brother is not at home, only a little wasteland opened by me and my mother to grow vegetables, I can't eat enough, and the food I eat is bought with the money that my mother earns from hard work every day, and my body is exhausted." There is no money for medicine, where can I get the money to buy food. ”

So it sees, according to the cheapest coarse grain in the world, 5 wen a catty, a stone is 100 catties, and it is 500 wen when converted into silver.

"Okay, you wash me and walk up first, and see if the way home is good." Pei Yao said, in fact, she wanted to go upstream to see if she could find a place to catch fish, and if she caught a fish, she could make some fish soup and replenish her body.

Who knew it was such a coincidence, Pei Yao walked upstream for a while, turned a stone pile along the river, looked at the road, and wanted to pull the wicker on the willow tree next to her, make a simple basket to find a fork in the river to catch fish.

Before I could grab a handful, I heard a scream downstream, like Jiajia's voice.

Frightened, Pei Yao threw the wicker and ran back, there were many stones by the river, and when she turned the corner, she saw a pink corner of the dress flashing away in the willow forest, and the river only saw a wooden basin and a sheet or something, but Jiajia was gone, and if you looked closely, there was a black hair in the middle of the river struggling on the surface of the water, and from time to time she could show her hand waving indiscriminately, because the water was turbulent, and the black hair rushed far downstream!

Pei Yao was in a hurry, rushed into the middle of the river in a few steps, and paddled along the water to the black. Because in the turbulent river, even if it is a smooth stroke, it will not be much faster, and it is not much closer to the black, seeing that the struggling and waving hand did not appear again, Pei Yao's heart tightened, and a fierce head swam downstream. In fact, Pei Yao is very dangerous like this, the avatar swims downstream, coupled with the inertia of the water current, if there is a big stone blocking it in the water, it will not be in a hurry to avoid it, and the result of colliding

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Jiajia to see that one of Jiajia's feet was entangled in a few aquatic plants in the somewhat muddy water, and she grabbed her arm. Pulled Jiajia, who was already unconscious, and put his arms around her neck behind her back to surface to breathe.

After a few swam to the shore, surrounded by willow trees, Jiajia dragged Jiajia under the tree, looked at the loose collar of her mouth and nose, and lay her head down on her bent leg on one knee, and beat her back a few times to drain the water from her stomach.

turned over and found that Jiajia was still breathing weakly, she was unconscious, and there was no one around to help, so she had to carry Jiajia on her back and send her home the same way.
