By the time Chu Ying and Aunt Wang walked to the side of the river embankment, it was almost afternoon, and there were people digging along the river embankment, Chu Ying only now felt how good modern it was, at least there was a dredger that didn't have to consume so much manpower.

The diggers were all grizzled, Chu Ying followed Aunt Wang for a long time before finding Wang Qiyuan, and saw that Wang Qiyuan was the same as other strong men, so she wore a pair of trousers and rolled up her trouser legs, and her body was stained with some mud, and she really couldn't recognize it if she didn't look carefully.

"Mother, don't wipe it, it's all mud, Chu Ying, why are you here?" Wang Jiyuan put the rake aside and wiped his face with his arm, but his face was covered with sweat and mud after wiping.

"Come and see you with Aunt Wang, this is the smoked meat I made, you can eat a little bit every day." Wang Qiyuan got up from the pit and took Chu Ying's clay pot.

"Okay, let's go to the shed." Chu Ying looked at several rows of sheds in the distance, and there were women cooking next to the sheds. The shed is relatively simple, made of wood and planks, although it is already spring but it is still a little cold at night, and the shed is made of raised beds because the ground is more humid.

Everyone was crowded on the bunk, and the quilts were all lifted, but Wang Jiyuan's was folded very neatly, "Sit, mother, you don't need to bring so many things, two sets of clothes are enough, I can wash the clothes myself, and I am not a child." ”

"How tired you are from work, or let your mother wash it, this is the fish and bamboo shoots you bring, and you can eat well." Aunt Wang took out the clean clothes in the bag and put them on the bed, and wrapped the dirty clothes.

"How tired it is to come here, don't come in the future, Chu Ying, you too, your body is not good, don't come in the future."

"Okay." Aunt Wang put the burden on her back and took Chu Ying's little hand, "Then let's go, you go back to work, let the overseer see it." ”

"Eun, walk slowly on the road, be careful." Wang Qiyuan originally wanted to touch Chu Ying's head, but his hands were dirty and he took it back. Chu Ying gave a toothy smile and left with Aunt Wang.

Chu Ying didn't bring anything to eat, so she went back with Aunt Wang hungry, "Little girl, you're hungry, come." Chu Ying took the half of the steamed cake handed by Aunt Wang, and padded her stomach first.

Bai Yuhe, who was in the distance, also walked over with a basket of things, and when he saw Aunt Wang, he ran over quickly, "Aunt Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, your body is still strong, I haven't been to see you much when my father has been working here recently." Don't blame Yuhe. ”

"How can it be, now it's getting more and more handsome." Chu Ying stood in the back and looked at her shoes.

Bai Yuhe held Aunt Wang's arm with a smile on her face, "Brother Wang is also here, I'll come and see if I'm fine, it's not far from home anyway." "Then you can take care of it more, I'm quite tired from a trip."

"That's natural, Brother Wang and I have been friends for many years, and Chu Ying is also here, what are you doing?" Chu Ying looked at Bai Yuhe's natural appearance holding Aunt Wang, and seemed to have decided that she was going to marry Wang Yuyuan.

"Come and bring something for Brother Wang."

"Aunt Wang, you walk slowly first, and I'll talk to Chu Ying." Bai Yuhe waited for Aunt Wang to walk away, and then walked to Chu Ying's side.

"Didn't you say you don't like Brother Wang? So why do you want to send things all the way over? Bai Yuhe stood with his back to Chu Ying, turned his head and glanced at Chu Ying fiercely, judging the two of them from the well-behaved and lovely appearance just now.

"Brother Wang has helped me with a lot of things, and I have nothing to repay, but I just sent something." Chu Ying was about to leave, but was pulled by Bai Yuhe.

"Look at your foxy little eyes, do you think you can fool me? I don't want to think about my identity, do you want to kill Brother Wang? "Bai Yuhe hasn't looked for Chu Ying since the last time, and now he can see Wang Yuyuan every day as a servant, and he doesn't regard this child as a threat, after all, he is still a child and he has grown up.

"Let go, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, whatever you think, I have a clear conscience." Chu Ying endured the pain in her wrist and looked at Bai Yuhe lightly.

"I hate it when you look indifferent. At the age of 9, you have such a transparent mind, don't you think you are terrible? ”

Because Chu Ying is barely an orphan girl, there is no acquaintance around her except for Aunt Wang's family, so she doesn't hide her mature thoughts very much, and she doesn't specifically want to play an 8-year-old child.

"I'm the only one left in this world, no one loves me, no one hurts, I can only rely on myself, I cry, I make trouble, who will pay attention to me? It's true that I'm not a 9-year-old, I have to grow up so that I'm not afraid of being bullied. Chu Ying bent her arm, took the opportunity to trip Bai Yuhe with her foot, and looked down at her in pain.

"If you really love Brother Wang, then take good care of him, learn to be a good wife and daughter-in-law, don't always think that he will be snatched away, but let him fall in love with you and can't do without you. Spend more time on Brother Wang. Chu Ying ran in the direction of Aunt Wang.

Bai Yuhe watched the small figure slowly move away, why should the same poor person force him everywhere, Bai Yuhe got up and carried the burden well, walked towards the shed, looked back at Chu Ying on the way, and sighed that if he could see as clearly as she did when he was young, he might be less wronged.

"Why did you talk for so long, walk slowly, see you run and panting." Chu Ying chased after Aunt Wang, who was waiting for her under the tree, and wiped the sweat on her head with her hands.

"It's nothing, it's just asking if I can live on my own." After resting a little, Chu Ying followed behind Aunt Wang and walked slowly.

"Yuhe is also a hard-working child, her mother gave birth to her when she had a difficult birth, and then his father married a girl but gave birth to a boy, she took care of the family affairs at a young age, at that time she was always bullied, fortunately in the garden to help her out, now it's okay, to the age of getting married, I can grow up to make some embroidery and make some money." Chu Ying was still a little disgusted with Bai Yuhe when she heard this, but now she only felt that she was pitiful, and she was indeed intervening in the middle of them to delay things.

"I'm about the same age as you, and I'm still washing clothes by the river in winter, and my little hands are full of chilblains, which makes people feel distressed when I see it. The good things in the family are all used by my younger brother, and his father is very heavy on male babies, hey...... Needless to say, now she is out of the mountain. Chu Ying held Aunt Wang's hand and let herself smile brightly as much as possible.

"First bitter and then sweet, God gives everyone the same amount of happiness and difficulties, but Sister Bai tasted the difficulties first, so that there will be more happiness later."

"If you think well, people should be happy, don't think about that." Aunt Wang put her arm on Chu Ying's shoulder, thinking about which family in this village is not like this, many girls are sold to be maidservants at a young age, this is the way of the world, but she is very fond of the pear orchard, as long as she has a soup to drink, she will not be hungry for the pear orchard.
