In the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, this is the second year of Ji Tianyou's wake-up for her grandmother who loves her the most, and in this isolated inland village, she has completely become an orphan.

Dressed in plain clothes, sitting alone in the cemetery, the grave of grandma and grandfather, and the grave of my father and mother who have long forgotten their appearance, "There are so many people underneath, and they are always more lively than me." Ji Tianyou slowly got up and patted the dirt on her knees, then stretched, she squinted and looked, it was already noon, the smoke of the village had risen faintly, and her stomach screamed twice with "cooing".

She walked towards the village, still thinking hard about what else could be eaten at home, she had eaten raw wild vegetables for three days, and if she didn't make a fire, the house would freeze on a March day.

Just as Ji Tianyou was striding forward with a sad face, a young man stood at the entrance of the village, looking at her with a smile.

It's Su Xiaoman, Ji Tianyou's childhood sweetheart, and even set a baby parent, of course, since Tianyou's father died, the Su family doesn't recognize this family business.

Orphans and widows, anyone will come and step on it, if it weren't for the terrifying strength of Grandma Tianyou, they would probably have no place to live in this village.

"Ji Tianyou, I'm going to kowtow again, it means yes, grandma has been gone for two years, saying that it is filial piety, where is there such a dead eye as you." Su Xiaoman greeted him from afar, although his mouth was counting, his hand unconsciously pushed the nest head hidden in a white cloth bag in front of Ji Tianyou, and after seeing that there was no one around, he said eagerly: "If you just come out of the pot, eat it while it's hot." ”

Ji Tianyou glanced at him, unceremoniously snatched the head of the nest, sat in the corner of the wall and gnawed on it. Bean noodles, corn and sweet potatoes, these flavors surround the teeth, and Ji Tianyou feels that happiness is not so far away.

Su Xiaoman looked at Ji Tianyou's gobbling up, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and muttered to himself, "Is it so delicious?" I take a bite. He took a piece from the other nest and threw it into his mouth.

Seeing the situation, Ji Tianyou hurriedly hid the remaining half of the nest, and muttered with a mouth full of food: "Isn't it for me, you go home and eat!" ”

Su Xiaoman pursed his lips, picked up his fist and gestured at Ji Tianyou and put it down helplessly, glared at him unwillingly, he suddenly remembered something, and said with a stern face: "I heard that you haven't lit a fire for three days?" ”

At this time, Ji Tianyou was no longer so hungry, she stared at Su Xiaoman's face for a long time with a pair of round black eyes, and nodded with a smile, "It has been raining for a few days in a row, and there is no dry firewood." ”

Then Su Xiaoman's fist fell lightly, and he lowered his voice and roared: "You are crazy, this is just spring, not to mention eating raw, the house is as cold as an ice cellar." Don't have dry firewood? Keep your pile of broken books, keep them to raise your children! ”

Ji Tianyou stared at Su Xiaoman, who was furious, with a smile on her face, she was silent, because she was thinking, this guy loves me, and when I am filial in three years, I will marry him, regardless of whether his mother agrees or not, anyway, I can't be alone anymore.

Su Xiaoman didn't know what Tianyou was thinking, he was still counting carefully: "I taught you to read and write, but it wasn't for you to stick to a bunch of books, people always have to take care of the current predicament in order to keep their preferences......"

"Su Xiaoman, let's elope." Ji Tianyou suddenly interrupted Su Xiaoman's words.

Su Xiaoman obviously didn't come back to his senses, he looked at Tianyou with an innocent face, "What? ”

Willful words can only be said once, this is all the courage of Tianjiyou, because she knows that Su Xiaoman will never agree, he will not leave his mother who regards him as life, nor will he leave his family's acres of fertile land.

didn't have the heart to eat the rest of the nest, Ji Tianyou stood up, put the nest head into his pocket in a chic manner, and smiled heartlessly: "Those poems, I regard them as my life." ”

"Gone." Ji Tianyou waved his hand without looking back, getting farther and farther away from Su Xiaoman.

"Weirdos." Su Xiaoman sighed and turned around to go home.

Ji Tianyou would never burn or sell those books, because that was the only evidence she had that could compare to Su Xiaoman. Often Su Xiaoman's head cantilever pierced the poems that could barely be memorized for several days, but Ji Tianyou only needs to read them a few times quietly to memorize, which is the only thing she can show off.

Of course, even Tianjiyou herself didn't know that these poems that she had already memorized backwards had accompanied her through so many cold and cold nights.

There is a poem that she likes the most, Zhuo Wenjun's "Baitou Yin", "Wen Jun has two intentions, and Gu Lai decides", I still remember the first time she listened to Su Xiaoman's reading, the scene of moving tears. Su Xiaoman looked at Ji Tianyou with pear blossoms and rain inexplicably, he didn't understand what she was crying about.

Ji Tianyou didn't know what he was crying about, but he felt inexplicably distressed.

It was late at night, and she couldn't sleep.

"Boom", there was a sound in the courtyard.

Ji Tianyou got up as fast as he could, picked up the shovel that had been prepared by the kang head, and quietly hid behind the door.

At this time, Ji Tianyou was like a hunter, she keenly saw the figure in the yard, it was a person, it seemed that the gongs and drums on the table were useless, she grabbed the hemp rope wrapped around her hand, and subconsciously cursed, the son of a bitch.

Breaking into her house at night is certainly not stealing, but only a thief.

For this kind of situation, Ji Tianyou has become commonplace, when grandma is still there, he has to be helped by the neighbors, as long as the gong sounds, he will rise up to help, so no one dares to act so recklessly. But since my grandmother is gone, there are more thieves who break into the house at night.

Ji Tianyou went from crying in fright for the first time to surprisingly calm now, thanks to these beasts who don't know what to do.

The people outside tiptoed through the door, and when they saw that there was nothing unusual, they squeezed in sideways. Ji Tianyou saw the right time and slammed a shovel at the head of the comer, and before the man could turn his head, he collapsed to the ground.

This shovel used 8 points of force, leaving two points for fear that he would die and cause a lawsuit.

Ji Tianyou tied them up with ropes, layer after layer, and sometimes she thought that it would be better to strangle these beasts.

She returned to the kang, but she was not sleepy.

After a long time, the man woke up, and he wailed in a low voice, begging God to spare him.

"Spare you? Who will let me go? It was the most she said to the thieves.

The thief didn't give up, but he was still quibbling: "It's better for you to follow me, make me small, I will ensure that you eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and no longer live in fear." ”

Ji Tianyou took a sip, feeling puzzled, and walked forward with two mouths, "Uncle Li, I usually look at you like a dog, how can you learn to do things like animals?" Small? Be your aunt and grandmother! You wait for me, and I'll talk about it when it's dawn! ”

This Uncle Li is a big family in the east of the village, the people in the village call him Li Dahu, and he is also notoriously afraid of his daughter-in-law, he has three sons, and a few days ago he sent someone to propose marriage to his eldest son, and his eldest son is a fool.

Probably because of the weakness of his heart, Li Dahu didn't dare to squeak anymore, he had already heard of Ji Tianyou's pungency, no one from his predecessor believed it, and today he was planted in the hands of this girl. He was thinking about countermeasures in his heart, and he couldn't let his daughter-in-law know the truth.
