Er Ya took a duster and swept the dust on the corners of the counter.

When I raised my eyes, I saw someone probing my brain at the door of the store.

Chunhua is talking to a guest.

"Sister Chunhua, I'll go out and come back soon." After that, Er Ya put down the duster and went out of the store.

The second girl dragged Yiquan's daughter-in-law's arm to a small corner of the street.

"What are you doing, kid!" Yiquan's daughter-in-law shook off Erya's hand, raised her leg and was about to leave, "I'll go and see the spring flowers." ”

"Don't." Chunhua took Yiquan's daughter-in-law's hand.

"Sister Chunhua is entertaining guests." Erya said.

"It's fine." Yiquan's daughter-in-law said, "I don't need her to entertain me, I'll just go in and take a look." ”

It's better if you don't have time to entertain her, take a few horses and leave, and don't delay.

"Mother, don't." Erya said in a low voice, Mu Mu's eyes showed sorrow, "I beg you." ”

"What are you talking about? Mother came to see you, and thanked you Sister Chunhua for taking care of you. Yiquan's daughter-in-law smiled, "This connection is not a bad thing to connect with relatives, don't ask for anything." ”

Erya thought for a while and took out a hanging of money from her waist: "Mother, this is my two months' salary, this is for you, you can go back." ”

Yiquan's daughter-in-law snatched the money in Erya's hand with a smile: "You should have given it to me, but you still want to hide it privately!" ”

"I'm here to visit the county, and I don't go to see my niece, so I can't be reasonable."

Erya also wanted to hold Yiquan's daughter-in-law, but was glared at by Yiquan's daughter-in-law, so she retracted her hand.

Yiquan's daughter-in-law stuffed the money in her arms and walked to the store.

"Something is for you, you go slowly." Chunhua just sent off a guest.

"Spring flowers." The voice was full of intimacy.

Chunhua took a look, and knew in her heart that it was broken, and the person who beat the autumn wind came, but she shouted: "Second aunt, why are you here?" ”

"I'll take a look at Erya. I haven't been back for two months, and I miss her. Yiquan's daughter-in-law said.

Erya came in behind her, not daring to look at Chunhua.

"Then you mother and daughter should talk well." Chunhua said.

Yiquan's daughter-in-law waved her hand: "No need, I've talked about it outside." ”

"It's rare for the second aunt to go on the street, I'll pick up a piece of material for you." Chunhua said with a smile. She knew the meaning of Yiquan's daughter-in-law.

Chunhua brought a piece of cotton cloth.

Cotton is considered a mid-range fabric. The cheaper ones are arrowroot, and the poor families buy more arrowroot cloth, and the cotton cloth is worn closely.

"I think it's good." Yiquan's daughter-in-law was talking about the aqua blue satin placed in the most conspicuous place.

"Mother, that eight taels of silver is a horse." Erya whispered.

Yiquan's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up.

"If you take this satin back like that, it will inevitably get dirt or water stains. It's expensive, and it can't stand the toss. If you want, I'll take a moment to send a car to my grandmother's house. "Spring Flower Road.

Yiquan's daughter-in-law laughed a few times: "No need." It's such expensive material, how can my aunt want you. Just give me the cotton. ”

Yiquan's daughter-in-law was finally dismissed. Haruka exhaled deeply.

"I'm exhausted." Chunhua stretched.

Erya lowered her head and wiped the counter vigorously.

"Why are you working so hard, you have a grudge against it." Chunhua said with a smile.

But I saw water dripping on the back of Erya's hand.

"Erya, why are you crying?" Chunhua hurriedly stretched out her hand and wiped Erya's tears.

"Sister Chunhua, I don't want to do it here with you." Erya said, but she didn't cry at all, and her tone was still flat.

"What's the matter, Sister Chunhua treats you badly?"

Erya shook her head: "No." ”

"I don't have much work here, and I'm wasting my wages and food. Aunt Cao is coming next month, and she will help you. ”

"You girl. Aunt Cao is in charge of the warehouse, and I have to help me with the matter of entertaining guests, otherwise I won't be exhausted to death. Chunhua said.

After a while, Erya said again, "I just don't want to do it here." ”

"I know. Your mother is here today. You're embarrassed, aren't you? Chunhua asked.

Erya nodded: "What kind of person my mother is, I know." Once she gets it, you can't get rid of it......"

"You stupid girl. If you don't do it here, your mother won't come? I'm also her niece. "Besides, a piece of fabric isn't a big deal. ”

"Don't worry about this, I'll just talk to my grandma." Chunhua said, "It's just that the second aunt may be a little embarrassed." ”

"What happens to her, it's none of my business." Erya raised her head and said.

"I don't take care of myself at home, do you know why?"

Chunhua shook her head.

"My mother has a nephew. Lazy and ugly, he loves to gamble and prostitute ...... If I had dressed up a little, my mother might have given me to him for money. Luckily, my cousin doesn't like me. The corners of Erya's mouth curled.

"When my dad was around, he was better. At least in front of her father, she won't do anything. But my father was not at home, she dared to do anything to me, she was scolded by my grandmother, and she quarreled with my aunt, so she took all her anger on me. ”

As the two girls spoke, Chunhua felt that her nose was so sour.

"But I also have to thank my mother." Erya said, "There are many girls in the village who have given birth to babies, and many of them have been thrown off the cliff. I've had a hard time, but I thank my mother for bringing me into this world. ”

Chunhua heard this legend when she was a child. Some of the aunts would tease her and say that they would throw her or her sister down the hill. Every now and then, Chen Suyun would keep a straight face and take the sisters away.

I didn't expect it to be true.

After talking to Erya, Chunhua's head was clouded.

That night, Haruka had a nightmare all night.

In the dream she came to the edge of a cliff, and on the edge of the cliff grew a fruit tree, which was full of fruit.

I faintly heard the sound of talking, crying.

Look at the fruit of this tree! It's a little doll!

Chunhua was so frightened that she took a few steps back, stepped into the air, and fell down the mountain.

"Ahh Chunhua exclaimed in surprise and sat up in fright.

"Sister Chunhua?" Erya and Chunhua slept in the same room, and Chunhua's cry woke her up.

"It's fine." Haruka got out of bed, sat down at the table in the dark, and poured herself a cup of tea.

Wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and poured a bowl of cold tea in "Goo Dong, Goo Dong". Chunhua felt much more comfortable. After a while, Chunhua went back to bed.

These troubled times. Originally, in this rural place, there was a great preference for sons. Over the years, natural disasters have **, and so many young people have died. There are half as many women as there are men. In addition, life is difficult, and there are not too many people to raise, and many young babies have suffered because of this, and they have not had time to see the world at all.
