Chapter 21: New Friends

The three of them returned home, quickly dismantled their things, and then went to sleep on the kang. No one spoke, this is also part of the plan, I am afraid that the three of them will be caught carelessly, and then things will not be beautiful.

After breakfast, Min'er and Erya continued to make quilts, seeing that the progress was almost completed today, which made Min'er feel relieved. Although she was used to doing these things before, she was commanded by her mother, and now she is still a little worried about living by herself. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take care of my father and sister, so I immediately swore in my heart that I must take care of my father and sister and not make people laugh, and I must live a good life.

"Sister, what do you say is the case over there now?" Ling'er really admires Min'er and Erya, aren't these two curious? Anyway, they also directed it, so why don't they care?

"Tomorrow you'll find out, just wait at home." Ling'er, this girl is sometimes shrewd and sometimes confused, what a child.

"Wait at home and find out? Why is that? Ling'er looked at the smiling two in confusion, Min'er deliberately hung her for a while, and it made Xiao Ling'er's heart look like it, it was like an ant on a hot pot.

"Oh, look at your little out, how can there be any secrets in our village, it's not good that the situation over there will spread all over the village in the afternoon." Erya saw Ling'er's pitiful appearance and immediately surrendered.

"Oh, that's right, but it's so far away from the village, can it be heard? What happened to our family at that time, Murakami didn't know? Ling'er still can't figure out the joints.

"You, sometimes it's very smart, and this time it's stupid. Who is the second aunt? Who are the people around her? Even if she lives in the mountains, she can't delay her visit, let alone recruit those who love to talk about his wife's tongue at home. (Wife's tongue: Northeast dialect, refers to the gossip of other people's families.) Min'er tapped Ling'er's little head to solve her doubts.

The people of Hongsongtun like to gather on the side of the road in the evening to chat, sometimes to talk about crops, sometimes to talk about hunting, sometimes to talk about the east and west, after all, there is no entertainment in this era. Basically, at intervals along the entire village road, a dozen or so women with their own small benches would sit together, while the men would gather in front of the village chief's house under the two red pines, which were said to be 500 years old, playing chess or chatting. As for the children, it is not very fixed, there are groups of people running around like crazy, there are a few who get together to play in the mud, and there are also those who sit next to their father or mother.

In the past, Ling'er's family lived far away, and the Wang family's health was not good, and Min'er had to take care of housework at home, so no one came out to participate in such social activities. Now that I live in the village, I can't be too maverick, so after dinner, I sat in front of my house with a small bench. After all, they don't feel at ease when their father is at home, so they can find out what is going on with the door open in this way. The neighbor on the left, Zhou, also sat down next to them when he saw the young lady, and several other people also gathered. Soon there were six or seven people together, some were doing work with needles and money in their hands like Min'er, and some were picking beans with baskets, in short, everyone was working while chatting, and only Ling'er was an audience empty-handed.

"Have you heard that something happened to the old Zhao family in the east of the village?" The Lan family lives on the right side of Ling'er's house, and Hongsongtun is also sparsely populated, so even if they are neighbors, they are not close to each other, about ten meters away, and basically there are no two families next to each other.

"What's going on with her family?" Bai's mouth, who lives in Liu Dapang's house opposite, said.

"There must be nothing good about her family, and I don't know what she is tossing around every day?" Zhou really didn't bother to talk about that family, but Lan opened her mouth, and she couldn't refute it. just glanced at Min'er and Ling'er as if unintentionally, and saw that there was nothing unusual about the two, so he put his mind at ease, although it was a broken relationship, but the blood and bones could not be changed.

"This time it's a matter of suspense, saying that the house was haunted last night, which scared their family enough." To say that this Lan's heart is not bad, but he is straightforward and has no heart. Is it also possible to say this in front of Min'er?

"It's not me saying that that house is evil, and they really dare to live in it." Zheng, who lived opposite Zhou's house, shrunk his neck as he spoke, looking timid at first glance.

"Pull it down, it's useless all day. If you live this life, your heart will have to be correct, and if your heart is not right, your life will not be good. Besides, what's wrong with the house? Isn't the human heart doing something wrong? "The Qi family opposite the Lan family is refreshing and spicy, honest and reasonable. I can't look down on Zheng's timid appearance the most, and I don't know what she's afraid of this day?

"That's it, or the Qi family understands that these days are not all people, what does it have to do with the house?" The Zhou family was busy leading the conversation away, and so did this Zheng family, didn't you see the Min'er sisters here?

"I said that the old man of the Zhao family and Zhao Hu went to the grave with paper money or something this afternoon, and said that it was for the Zhao family and her father, I think eighty percent went there." Thanks to the Lan family, who is open-mouthed, otherwise the Min'er sisters would not have heard this.

"What's the eighty percent, I just went to the grave for Min'er's mother, my fat man saw it on the mountain today, and the two of them were burning paper while smacking, and they were muttering in their mouths. Originally, I was still wondering, but I was scared. Bai was very disdainful of this. Her maiden family is from Baihua Town, and she always feels that she is better than these village women.

"At this time, I softened, what did I do earlier?" The Lan family looks down on the Bai family's style, and she is not a young lady, she always wants to put up a shelf in front of them, but she can't hold it anymore.

"Oh, Min'er, your job is really good, this is for your father?" Zhou saw that these people were always inseparable from this topic, and he was afraid that a bad sentence would make the young ladies careless. So immediately pulled the topic away, and at the same time hinted at the existence of their sisters.

"Aunt Zhou, your work is good, what am I? I'll have to learn more from you in the future, and you won't teach me when the time comes. Min'er understood in her heart why the Zhou family interrupted everyone, in fact, she thought she would care, but she found that she didn't care about the actions over there at all, even if they knelt in front of their mother's grave for a year? When things happen, they happen, and it's useless to do them. In the past, she really hated them and hoped that they could admit their mistakes, but after a night talk with Ling'er, she really wanted to understand what kind of life she wanted? How do you go about living? Now all she cares about is her father and sister, and the others are not important, just a part of life.

After Zhou's words, everyone's reaction is also different. There are Lan who suddenly realized and was annoyed, Qi who lamented Zhou's tactfulness, Bai who disagreed, and Zheng who was uncertain. All this was seen by Ling'er and remembered in his heart. In the past, my family was far away from the village, and I hardly had contact with the villagers. But now that they live among these people, they naturally have to taste these people well, so as not to eat something and not know who did it.

"Where are you sitting? Play with us? A very cute little girl ran to Ling'er and looked at Ling'er with big eyes, Ling'er was cute at once, do you want to be so cute? If it weren't for the fact that his current body is smaller than others, he must be a rare little cute baby.

"What are you playing?" Ling'er naturally pulled up other people's little meat hands, stood up and looked up at the cute baby. There's no way, she's a head taller.

"They're catching grasshoppers over there, shall we go and see?" This little cute baby is Qi's eldest daughter Yang Lan'er, who is six years old this year, two years older than Ling'er, because she looks cute and beautiful, she is very good at eating in the group of children in the village.

"Go, go play." Min'er also likes this cute little doll very much, she always thinks that Ling'er is too honest and should let her play with the children more. With her sister's permission, Ling'er and Yang Lan'er ran forward hand in hand.

"Yang Lan'er, who is she?" A fat boy with a tiger's head asked.

"It's the new one next to your house, I heard my mother say that her name is Zhao Ling'er." Yang Lan'er had already inquired about Ling'er, she had always wanted to have a good friend, but Liu Dayu and Liu Eryu just couldn't get along with them, and they couldn't play together. Other people's children are far away and there are few familiar ones, but now it's good, Ling'er who moved here is good-looking, and I heard my mother say that it would be great if I could be my good friend.

"You are Zhao Ling'er? I'm Baihu and I'm seven years old this year, you have to call me Brother Huzi. The fat boy patted his chest and said imposingly.

"Brother Huzi" Ling'er shouted obediently, knowing that this Huzi was the child king of the village, and it didn't hurt to have a good relationship with him.

"Alright, hurry up and catch it, it'll be dark in a while." Yang Lan'er couldn't see Huzi the most, if he dared to bully Ling'er, she would never play with him again.

Then the dozen or so children began to catch grasshoppers in pairs, and after two quarters of an hour they saw who could catch the most grasshoppers. It will not be attractive to Ling'er, but looking at everyone's excitement, she can't be too different......

On the way home, Yang Lan'er took Ling'er's hand and happily told her about today's events, looking at her smile full of happiness, Ling'er felt that it was really good to be friends with her. At this point, she started a different social activity, playing crazy with a group of village children, and slowly fell in love with it. Min'er looked at her younger sister who was becoming more and more lively, and she was very happy, she had always been afraid that what happened at home would affect her sister's growth, and now it seems that what she was worried about has not happened. If Ling'er knew, would she spit out a mouthful of old blood and shout that you are worried, okay?
