The village woman glanced at the sunshine and laughed, and the two people next to her also laughed: "Child, this is not a hawthorn, it is a mountain red, two pieces of five pounds." As he spoke, he took one for her to taste, and put the sunshine in his mouth and chewed it: sweet and sour, clearly the same taste as hawthorn.

"It turns out that this is the legendary mountain red, give me two catties." Sunshine pulled out five dollars and handed it to her. The village woman took out a rod and weighed two catties for her, handed it to her, and said with a smile, "The small river next to here is the water coming down from the mountains, which is cleaner than the tap water in your city. ”

"Auntie, how do you know I'm from the city?" Sunshine asked her in surprise.

"Then you need to ask? At first glance, you can see that you are a student from the city. The village woman said as a matter of course, and several people looked at her and laughed playfully.

Sunshine didn't think it was funny, but she really felt a little tired of walking, so she simply took the bag of mountain red to the stream by the roadside and washed it.

The water is so clear! She never thought that the stream on the side of the highway could be so pure, she couldn't see impurities when she held it with water, and the water was washed away with slippery pebbles, she really liked it, she couldn't help but pick up a few and put them in her backpack, washed the fruit, she leisurely found a big stone by the stream and sat down to eat the fruit and rest her feet by the way.

When the sun was eating with relish, she suddenly felt that someone was tugging her feet, she looked down and saw that she was a little girl of five or six years old, her hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, combed into two unkempt pigtails, she was only wearing a thin floral cloth shirt, her little face was a little blue from the cold, and then she looked at the two little hands that grabbed her, and they were also black and unlooking.

"Sister, I want to eat it too." The little girl snorted timidly with wide eyes, and her voice was soft and pitiful.

Sunshine grabbed a handful from the plastic bag and gave it to her, and the little girl took it with both hands, a smile bloomed on her thin face, and she jumped to the side of the tree to eat.

"Xiao Yan'er, who asked you to take care of other people's food and ask for food? Don't eat it! Hearing the scolding, Sunshine found that the little girl was still followed by a village woman, although the woman was dressed in shabby, but she was quite white, and her hair was neatly combed. The little girl clung to it and didn't let go, but how could she have the strength of an adult, and the things in her hand were still snatched away, and the child looked at the woman carefully, with her mouth flattened, looking like she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.

"Mom, I want to eat." She pleaded pitifully, her eyes fixed on the red mountain in her mother's hand. Her mother gave her a hard look and threw all the mountain reds to the ground. Now the sun couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran over in three steps and two steps, trying to pull the little girl, who looked at her in panic and hid behind her mother.

"I gave her something, why don't you let her eat it?" Sunshine asked the woman dissatisfied.

The woman didn't seem to expect her to be so domineering, and she couldn't help but be a little timid, and said with a smile, "My children never eat other people's things." ”

"Mom, I'm hungry." The little girl stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, looking greedily at the plastic bag in Sunny's hand.

Sunshine looked at this woman's timid appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and judged that she was cowardly or had to be backbone, okay, even if you have backbone, you can't let the child starve, she took out a bag of unopened egg yolk from her backpack and handed it to her, and said with a smile, "This is unopened, give it to your little swallow to eat, you can rest assured!" ”

When the woman heard her say this, she quickly explained in a panic, "I didn't mean that, and the child didn't have nothing to eat, but he had been walking with me for a long time and was a little hungry, and I would make food for her when I got home in a while." The child is so young, she can't get into the habit of managing people and asking for things. ”

"Ah, I see. This time, I offered to give it to her, and it was nothing to give her something to eat; It is right to educate a child, but it should not be too strict, otherwise she will be introverted in the future. Sunshine took out the theory of her father educating her mother when she was a child to educate her.

The woman thought about it, smiled at her shyly, took the thing, Xiaoyan was so happy that she took out a small package from it and tore it open, and carefully licked it one bite at a time.

"Xiao Yan'er, let's go." The woman picked up Xiaoyan'er, said thank you to the sunshine and wanted to leave.

"Auntie, by the way, is this the direction to go to Sandaogou? I've been walking for a long time and haven't made it yet. Sunshine asked, following the woman.

"Haha, my family is from Sandaogou, go forward, and you will be there in a while." Xiao Yan lay on her mother's shoulder, giggling.

"Really? That's great! I thought I was on the wrong track. Sunshine finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his backpack and continued to move on. After walking a few steps, she heard Xiao Yan'er calling her behind her, "Sister, wait for me, let's go together!" ”

Sunshine thought for a while, stopped, and the woman caught up with the child in her arms, and said to her a little embarrassedly, "Don't listen to her, we and I walk slowly, don't wait for us." ”

"Hehe, I'm not going to Sandaogou, I'm just passing by there." Sunshine laughed.

"Mom, I want my sister to play with me." Xiao Yan'er opened her eyes wide, looked at the sun with anticipation, and said angrily, "Sister, can you come to my house to play with me?" My mom won't let me play with Xiaoling and them, I'm bored. ”

Before Sunshine could answer, her mother spoke again, "Yan'er, don't pester others, they still have to do things, how can they have the kung fu to play with you?" ”

Xiao Yan'er listened to her mother's words, puffed out her mouth gloomily, lowered her eyes, and didn't dare to speak.

Sunshine looked at the lonely child and felt a little distressed, but seeing that it was almost dark, she really had to hurry up. So he waved at Xiao Yan'er, turned his head and strode forward, the town in front of him was already faintly visible, as long as he got there, it would be easy to do.

Sunshine looked at his phone and realized that he had been walking for more than an hour! The quarry kid isn't a liar, is he? It's clear that I've walked more than two miles, but fortunately I'm in good shape, otherwise I'd have been tired and lay down.

She walked for more than ten minutes, and finally arrived at the town in front of her: the town was not big, and the lights had been turned on in a few shops and restaurants on the street, but there were no street lights on the road, and there were few pedestrians on the street, only a few old men and old ladies were hanging out.

As soon as eleven passed, it was early when it got dark, and it was only five o'clock when it was dark, and Sunshine sighed: there wasn't even a tricycle on the street, and everyone in the town wouldn't go to bed so early, right?

She had to walk to the side of the street and try to stop a passing car, but after waiting for a long time, no passenger car passed by.
