The past events of the past life are vivid, but they are clearly stored in the depths of Yu Mingyue's memory, and the moment she saw Mu Hongmei, these past events came to her mind in seconds.

Regarding Mu Hongmei's situation, Yu Mingyue, who was a real child in her previous life, only knew more or less, but in this life, she often heard the three aunts and six women in the village talk about it.

Mu Hongmei's mother, after giving birth to Mu Hongmei's little brother in 1986, went crazy, ran out of the house on the second day of the first month of this year, and was found dead in the reservoir seven or eight kilometers away four days later.

What's even worse is that Mu Hongmei's only father left behind is just an ornament, everyone in Quancaiyun Village knows that Mu Hongmei's father is a lazy old drunkard, and his temper is very bad, he has to beat his daughter-in-law and children at every turn, everyone says that the reason why Mu Hongmei's mother is crazy is actually driven crazy by men.

Don't look at Mu Hongmei is a month younger than Yu Mingyue, but now this little girl not only has to go up the mountain every day to pick mountain goods and sell them for money, she doesn't do anything to cook and feed pigs at home, but also has to take care of her little brother, who is only more than two years old.

Even the money from Mu Hongmei's mountain goods was handed over to her drunkard father, and she had to be beaten up if she paid less.

Speaking of which, Mu Hongmei's mother's maiden family also lives in the same mountain village as Yu Mingyue's aunt Yu Zhifen's family, and she is still a relative of Yu Zhifen's man.

For the little girl in front of her, Yu Mingyue gave birth to a little sympathy, it seems that in the previous life, everyone was a bitter child.

Yu Mingyue was only distracted for a moment, and then she recalled the past in her previous life, and at this time, seeing that Mu Hongmei, who was the same as in her previous life, did not answer herself, Yu Mingyue was born with a slight upturn on the corner of her mouth, revealing a trace of bitterness.

When I was a child, my thoughts were not the same as when I was an adult, just now when I recalled the past, Yu Mingyue didn't hate this old enemy in my previous life, and for all kinds of things in my previous life, when facing this child, Yu Mingyue only felt a little sorry, counting my previous life, I and my cousin were two to one, and I was considered to have bullied this little girl, but at that time, they were all short of money, and they were all children who only looked at helping the family earn a few more dollars, and never thought about it.

If the memory did not happen, then the little girl named Mu Hongmei in front of her had never called herself a broom star in her previous life, even when the two sides clashed, Mu Hongmei not only did not shout at her broom star as satisfied as the children in the village, but also did not laugh at herself with the death of her parents and grandmother.

The past of her childhood in her previous life seemed to be becoming clearer and clearer, and Yu Mingyue was also a little moved. In her previous life, she faced huge life pressure, and she didn't have the opportunity to pay too much attention to these, but at this time, thinking back on these with the mentality of an adult, Yu Mingyue felt that the sister-in-law who was bent over and busy picking bracken not far away was either too kind, or simply kind.

And for this Mu Hongmei, Yu Mingyue still has a little admiration, this girl is younger than her own age, as a real child, I don't know what role she was forced to, so that she dared to go to this deep mountain and old forest at this age to make money.

"You pick slowly, I'm leaving, you be careful." Yu Mingyue ignored her Mu Hongmei After saying this, she was ready to leave, although she was also short of money now, she no longer had the strength in her previous life, and she was competing with this little girl.

Yu Mingyue walked a few meters away before she heard a faint shout from behind her.

"You're leaving?"

Yu Mingyue turned around, chuckled and nodded: "Well, there are still quite a lot of bracken here, and there are turtledoves in the ditch above, you pick them slowly, be careful, you pay attention to safety." ”

I wanted to say that I was careful of snakes and insects, but I was afraid of scaring this little girl who was less than six years old, so Yu Mingyue changed her words.

"Why don't you pick it here, there are really a lot of bracken here, I can't finish it." Mu Hongmei said well and moved closer to the direction where Yu Mingyue was standing, with a little expectation in her eyes.

Can't finish the harvest? How is it possible, I'm afraid that there will be nothing to pick up for a while. Yu Mingyue knew in her heart that she had used the space just now and picked most of the bracken, and if she followed this girl all the way, she wouldn't dare to use the space at all.

Yu Mingyue just wanted to refuse, but when she saw the pitiful expectation in Mu Hongmei's eyes, she suddenly felt a little unbearable. This girl should be scared and want to find someone to be a companion, right? Oh, if you weren't forced to be in a hurry, which normal child would dare to go to this deep mountain by himself, not to mention snakes and insects, the wild boars on the mountain are the most lethal to children.

In my previous life, when I and my cousin went up the mountain to pick mountain goods, I was not only afraid of snakes, insects and beasts, but also afraid of the terrible mountain wind, but whenever I listened to the sound of cowbells and sheep bells faintly accompanied by the mountain wind, I could have a little more sense of security in my heart, and whenever I met the old people grazing on the mountain, it was even more worth being happy, because it would make them feel more secure.

Yu Mingyue was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, she chuckled and said, "Okay, then you go and pick it first, I'm also tired, so I'll take a breath here first." With that, Yu Mingyue sat directly on a relatively flat mountain rock next to her.

Seeing that Mu Hongmei was still standing uneasily next to her and didn't move, Yu Mingyue waved her hand and said, "You go quickly, I'll go to my brother-in-law in a while." ”

Seeing that Mu Hongmei finally obediently got into the bracken forest, bent over and went to work again, Yu Mingyue was a little funny. In my previous life, from 1989 to 1994, when I went to junior high school and lived in school, I fought with this little girl for five or six years, and I really didn't say a word so peacefully and friendly like today.

At that time, not to mention the old people grazing on the mountain, in fact, even if they occasionally met this small enemy on the mountain, although everyone desperately rushed to pick more mountain goods, but at that time there would be a little less fear in their hearts, so no matter how noisy they were, or when they moved to the destination of the next picking, they would follow each other, in fact, they also regarded each other as a companion in their hearts.

Yu Mingyue was originally only going to be a brave companion for Mu Hongmei, and she didn't plan to pick bracken here, but she couldn't withstand the little girl's several urgings, so she had to go into the bracken forest in a daze.

To be honest, it is very painful to rely on one hand to pick bracken, not to mention the laborious and tiring, and after picking each one, you have to rely on your eyes to look around to find the next target, which is very hurtful.

Looking at the five or six pounds of bracken table in Mu Hongmei's small back basket, Yu Mingyue admired this girl even more, her combat effectiveness was so strong at a young age, no wonder in her previous life, she and her cousin wanted to regard this veteran of mountain goods as their biggest rival.

While the two were busy bending down to pick bracken, they chatted and talked for nearly half an hour, and Yu Mingyue also confirmed the rumors she heard from the three aunts and six women in the village.

It turned out that this little girl was forced to go up the mountain to pick mountain goods at a young age, and she was really forced by her drunkard father, according to Mu Hongmei's words: her family has no money, her father has no money to buy wine and drink to beat her and her little brother, she heard that the wild vegetables on the mountain can be sold for money, so she followed the old man who herded cattle up the mountain, ready to pick and sell for some money, so as to buy wine for her father.

Seeing Mu Hongmei finish talking about this set of theories with a serious face, Yu Mingyue felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she didn't know whether to sympathize with this little girl, or guide her to understand the truth of the matter and resist accordingly.

But in the end, Yu Mingyue didn't make any comments and persuasions except for nodding, the children's minds are still very simple, that is, because of this simplicity, their thoughts are different from adults, how Mu Hongmei can rely on picking mountain goods to sell money, and be less beaten by her father, in fact, it is not a bad thing.

As for the future, Yu Mingyue didn't dare to think about it, in her previous life, she lived in the same village, although Yu Mingyue lived a very hard life by herself, and she didn't have the strength to pay attention to others, but Yu Mingyue still knew a little about Mu Hongmei's life experience.

This little girl can be regarded as a pillar of her dilapidated home, she has not gone to school for a day, and every day she not only works hard to earn money, but also takes care of the housework and her brother, who is four years younger than her.

But no matter how hard this little girl tries, but with such a drunkard father who is good at beating people, her family has never had any money to spare, I heard that there is still more than ten years of agricultural tax, when the production team said that they would take back her family's contracted fields, but with the abolition of agricultural taxes, the government has also decentralized better policies, and her family's bad debts have also been eliminated.

The family is in that situation, and there is no mother since she was a child, Mu Hongmei has not developed good living habits, so she grew up directly to the age of seventeen or eighteen, and she still doesn't like to clean up every day like now, I heard that even her face is washed once in ten days and a half months, although Mu Hongmei looks good, but no one goes to her house to propose.

Mu Hongmei's younger brother, because of the policy, still studied for a while, it seems that there is a beginning of Chinese, but after that kid graduated from junior high school, he went out to work, and then he didn't return home for several years, occasionally listening to people in the village, it seems that the kid went to be a son-in-law who turned the door, because the Mu family didn't do a wedding wine, in fact, there is no way to verify this, but in the years before Yu Mingyue was killed by thunder, it seems that he really hadn't seen that kid in the village.

But Yu Mingyue still clearly remembers that when the local highway was being built, Mu Hongmei was 24 years old and found a migrant worker who was working on the highway as her son-in-law, and gave birth to a daughter more than a year later.

lives in the same village, so the man Yu Mingyue has also seen a few times, although he is only more than 150 points tall, but he can lay bricks, and his temperament is not bad, and he has built a three-story red brick house for the family to live in, although he has no money left to decorate the exterior wall, but it is not older than the old mud house that Mu Hongmei's family was about to fall.

Mu Hongmei has been a lot easier since then, when her family went to work at a construction site as a man, she was in charge of the fields, taking care of the children and housework, although life was still poor, but it was also like a human life.

"Sister Xiaoyue, look, someone has been here in this bracken forest." After getting along for a while, the two can be regarded as acquaintances, even if Mu Hongmei has always been timid and doesn't like to socialize with other children in the village, but when she called Yu Mingyue at this time, she still seemed very kind and natural, she regarded Yu Mingyue at this time as her only little friend, because Yu Mingyue said that she was one month older than her, so she also called Yu Mingyue her sister.

Yu Mingyue was busy reminiscing about the past, and was startled back to her senses by Mu Hongmei's shout, and when she looked up, she saw Mu Hongmei pointing to the pinched bracken stake in front of her with a look of annoyance.

The slurry coming out of the top of this pile is still very fresh, it is indeed the appearance of being freshly picked, and the broken product is as smooth as a knife, Yu Mingyue can see at a glance that this is the result of being harvested by her use of space.

Thinking that this was her masterpiece, Yu Mingyue couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, and misled: "Well, this piece of land should have been picked by people herding cattle and sheep, and they are sharp-eyed, I'm afraid there is nothing left, let's go to the upper ditch and pick turtle doves, let's go and take a look elsewhere." ”

This piece is considered to be the largest bracken forest in the mountain, Mu Hongmei did not give up and looked forward again, until she found that there was really nothing left, so she drooped her mouth and followed Yu Mingyue to pick turtledoves.

Originally, according to Yu Mingyue's plan, she was just going to be a companion with Mu Hongmei in this place, and then she was ready to use Kong Xinggang as an excuse to find a new place to work alone.

As a result, after the two finished picking turtle doves, Mu Hongmei still followed her closely, and she had no intention of leaving alone.

There was a big living person following beside her, Yu Mingyue would never dare to use the space, and she wanted to break up Mu Hongmei, but thinking that she had only been on the mountain for a few days after hearing Mu Hongmei say just now, she knew that Mu Hongmei would be very scared when she was alone on the mountain just now, so she was a little unbearable.

"I know that there is a big bracken forest in another depression ahead, and we will go down the small mountain road to the mountain basket, and there will be a lot of turtle doves, and we will go to pick bracken when we go uphill."

Yu Mingyue walked forward with the road while making arrangements for the next trip.

Hearing this, Mu Hongmei was overjoyed, and a big smile instantly appeared on the thin and dirty little melon seed's face, and she praised with a stammering face: "Wow, Xiaoyue, it's so amazing, I know so many things in the mountain, every time I enter the mountain, I can't tell the direction, I rely on standing on the mountain beam and looking at the village below, so I won't get lost." ”

"Huh." Yu Mingyue didn't understand the careful thinking of the little girl behind her buttocks, and said with a smile: "I followed my brother-in-law up the mountain to herd sheep when I was picking fungi last autumn, by the way, when the rainy season comes this year, you can also often go up the mountain to collect mushrooms and sell them for money, and your fungi can also be sold to me at the price on the township market, as long as the things are good, my family will collect them." ”

"Okay, okay, I've heard from the people in the village, your family not only buys a car now, but also goes to the city every day to do vegetable business, and also collects the vegetables of the people in the village every day, not only Sister Xiaoyue, you are amazing, but your adults are also good at making money."

The two of them walked on the mountain path, talking sentence by sentence, since then, Yu Mingyue has an extra little tail today, picking mountain goods, all by hand. R1152
