"Bang! ……”

When her body was knocked off, Xia Mei had only one thought in her heart: "I hope that in the next life, I will no longer be an orphan......"

……

In a trance, Xia Mei seemed to hear a childish voice crying hoarsely: "Mother! … Mother! Don't go! Don't leave Bao'er behind......" Before she could open her eyes and see clearly, the pain in her heart twitched and made her lose consciousness again......

When I woke up again, the first thing I saw was the dilapidated roof.

Most of the thatch was rotten, and in some places there was not even thatch, and a cool breeze poured into the house from there, making Xia Mei shiver.

It's true...... Not a dream. Looking at the hole in a daze, Xia Mei's heart almost collapsed.

The strange memories that came up, the qiē in front of me, revealed a ridiculous and unbelievable fact: she, as if, seemingly, probably, had crossed over ......

**********

According to memory, the original owner is also called Xia Mei, who was originally the daughter of Xiucai, and her appearance is also the most outstanding in several nearby villages. It's a pity that my father died early, and my mother didn't have any ability, so she had to marry her to the highest Tang lame man in the village where the dowry was given, and the so-called dowry was only two acres of fertile land. Originally, she didn't want to, but after all, she couldn't let her mother starve to death, so she couldn't, so she had to marry in tears.

At first, this Tang lame man also treated her well, but after all, she had a grudge in her heart, so she didn't have a good face for that Tang lame man, and she didn't let him touch herself. For a long time, no matter how hot the heart is, the lame Tang has no father and no mother, and only hopes to marry a wife to take good care of himself, who would have wanted to spend two acres of fertile land, but married back an embroidered pillow, and shook his face all day long.

So Tang Cripple also began to beat and scold her, she was even more resentful in her heart, and the two quarreled in a fit of anger, Tang Cripple became more and more angry, so he carried her into the house and slammed her on the bed......

From that day on, the original owner Xia Mei was like a lost soul, silent, indifferent to Tang Cripple's beating and scolding, and didn't know how to dodge.

Finally one day, I fainted in the yard.

When she woke up and learned that she was three months pregnant, there was no joy on her face, only despair and defeat.

Xu was influenced by her, and Tang Cripple had no expectations for the upcoming flesh and blood, but disliked her bulky body and couldn't vent his **, so he wandered out every day and rarely returned home.

The villagers who came back from the town said that they saw him gambling with people in the gambling house, and they also saw him laughing and scolding with a seductive-looking woman. And the original owner Xia Mei had no reaction to this and was indifferent. When the villager saw her like this, he couldn't help but sigh, "What a sin...", and shook his head and walked away.

Soon after, she gave birth to a son, and at that time she looked at it weakly, and only said: "Just call, Tang Bao!" He fainted.

Chen, who still lives next door, came to help, tied up two chickens in the yard, gave them to the midwife, and politely sent the person out. Then he came back and cleaned the kang in the house, and the child wrapped the clean clothes and put them beside her pillow, and then went home and killed a chicken for her, lit a fire and boiled it for her, and when she woke up to make up for herself.

When she woke up, she learned that the Chen family had helped, although she had been indifferent all the time in the past few years, she was not the one who didn't know what to do, so she said to the Chen family: "Auntie, your great kindness to Xia Mei, Xia Mei can't repay it, but now Xia Mei's body is still inconvenient, and Tang Bao's father doesn't know where to go, I'm afraid that I will have to bother my aunt in the next few days." Xia Mei doesn't have any good things at home, the rice and noodles in the kitchen and the aunt look at it and take five catties, and the two chickens in the yard, the aunt is also tied together. ”

When Chen heard her words, he said in his heart that it was false to be unhappy, but he was still polite: "Oh, the Tang family, whatever trouble you say, it's all from the villagers, and you should help you." Where are you using so many things! "Auntie, don't be polite, how can Xia Mei accept people's favors for nothing, and it's not a valuable thing, auntie, take it with peace of mind."

When Chen heard her say this, he had already squinted with a smile, took her hand and said, "Eh! Since you said so, that aunt accepted it cheekily! Look, this literacy is different, and the etiquette is so thorough, it's really incomparable to us rough people! ”

Xia Mei knew that she was just polite, so she said, "Auntie said she was laughing." Thinking that Brother Chen is coming back soon, my aunt will go back to work first, just send some food to Xia Mei in the evening. ”

Chen also knew that she was originally of this nature, so he didn't care, and stood up, "That aunt will go back first, I'll bring you dinner later, you can rest first!" After saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen to get the rice and noodles.

Xia Mei listened to the crow of the chickens outside, stayed for a while, and was interrupted by a burst of crying, and looked at her son next to her, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but because Chen was still in the courtyard, she had to pick up the small lump and nurse him.

After two years like this, the bastard Tang Cripple has not returned home for a long time, and I heard that he offended a terrible person and was beaten to death, and Xia Mei naturally didn't have the heart to collect his body.

Now that little tuanzi, ah, no, it's Tang Bao, and he's almost two years old, a little person, but he learned to do all kinds of housework early, obviously he was malnourished and thin, but his mother only knew how to beat and scold him, so that he knew very early that he had to work hard, and his mother would cook for him.

But recently, his mother sat by the river every day, and he had to go to Aunt Chen's house next door to ask for something to eat, otherwise he would have starved to death.

On this day, the little man was grabbing the grass outside the yard with his hands, preparing to feed Aunt Chen and his chickens. At this time, a strong man with a scar on his face ran over quickly, and there seemed to be a person on his back.

"Tang Bao! Come on! Your mother jumped into the river! After speaking, without waiting for Tang Bao's reaction, he stepped into the house in a few steps and put the person on the kang.

The little Tang Bao didn't know what jumping into the river was, but when he saw that the mother on the man's back seemed to be asleep and motionless, panic arose in his heart, and his big eyes were soon filled with tears...... Mother's ......"

The man put Xia Mei away, carefully covered her with the quilt, and then left the room, but saw that Tang Bao was already crying out of breath, and hurriedly went up to pick him up, but he didn't know how to coax him, so he had to clumsily gently pat the soft body in his arms with his big palm, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Fortunately, at this time, the Chen family next door heard the movement, hurriedly ran out, saw the scene in front of him, paused for a moment, and quickly reacted: "It's the Wu family boy, why are you here?" Come, give me the child, and see how he cries! ”

The strong man hurriedly handed the little man in his arms to Chen. Under Chen's comfort, Tang Bao's crying gradually stopped, and then Chen raised his head and asked the man in front of him: "What's going on, why are you here?" ”

The strong man looked at the child in Chen's arms, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I just passed by the river, and I saw a person jumping into the river from a distance, so I ran over and jumped into the river and scooped the person up. He paused, then looked at Tang Bao, then at Chen, and finally his gaze fell on the room, and he said in a low voice, "That person...... It's Tang Bao's mother......"
