"Oh, this is six thousand yuan, you can take it!" A voice whispered, "Wait a minute, it's time to get to town......

The latter words were suppressed, and it seemed that the two of them had walked away, and she couldn't hear them very clearly.

"Hey, didn't you say Erya? What is the third sister? Suddenly, I heard my father's voice raise up.

"Uncle He, it's the third sister and I who only paid this price, if it's the second sister, I have to give a thousand less!" A sophisticated and sleek voice said with some unpleasant bargaining.

"Alas, forget it, the third sister is the third sister!" This seemed to be the mother's rather helpless voice, "I just feel sorry that she is still too young, you will really introduce her to a good family, right?" ”

"Don't worry, just like her, when you go to that family's house, treat her like a treasure." The sophisticated voice spoke like a braided flower.

There was another whisper outside, and gradually it became a little inaudible.

Meng Yihui felt a little groggy in her head, as if she had a long and painful dream, and she couldn't wake up several times when she wanted to force herself to wake up.

Until the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and then the thin quilt on the body was rudely lifted, the mother's slightly irritable voice sounded in her ears: "The sun is drying your butts, you two still can't get up!" ”

Meng Yihui opened her eyes with a spirit, and then saw Sister Erya who was also sitting up with her eyes closed in a daze.

"Erya, you go to herd the cattle, third sister, you go wash clothes!" The mother, who looked a little vicissitudes because of overwork, directly ordered the two of them.

"What about the younger brother, what does the younger brother do?" The second girl yawned, her eyes still closed, and she just looked at her mother.

"My brother is still so young, do you care about my brother? So what do you want your sister to eat? The mother glared at Erya, looking very unhappy, "I know that Lu Dao is compared with my younger brother all day long, if you look like this again, I won't sell you!" ”

"Mom, don't sell me, I'll put it right away, right away!" Hearing this, Erya immediately opened her eyes, quickly crawled out of bed, grabbed a comb and combed her hair haphazardly, and then hurriedly ran outside.

"Third sister, ...... you" The mother's originally fierce face was a little softer when she looked at Meng Yihui, and there seemed to be some guilt in her tone, "Third sister, my mother has to cook, so you can go and wash your clothes." After dinner, I'll take you out into the street and buy you new clothes, okay? ”

"Mom!" Meng Yihui looked at her mother in a daze, looking stunned and incredulous.

Isn't she dead?

What is she still at home for?

Was it really a long, painful dream?

But those feelings are so real that they are experienced and exist.

If it weren't for a dream, how could she still be alive and well?

"Hurry up and do the laundry, wait for the sun to shine!" The mother looked at her helplessly, then said something nonchalant, and then turned and walked out of the room.

Meng Yihui fumbled and jumped out of bed, put on her stiff thin plastic sandals, and then rushed to the small round mirror hanging on the wooden wall.

Short and heavy hair, a round face with a childish look, a slightly malt complexion because of often running and working outdoors, delicate eyebrows, a pretty nose bridge, ruddy and pure lips, in addition to the eyes that were once as clear as a fawn, with a touch of deep and sophisticated, she is exactly fourteen years old in front of her.

Looking down at herself, she was wearing a small pink crewneck shirt with a bow, and a long cotton skirt with a pattern of small flowers sewn along the circumference, and when she raised her hand, her arms were as thin and rugged as malnutrition as they had been, and there were still remnants of black dirt between her fingernails that had not been washed after pulling through the dirt.

Which one is dreaming?

"Third sister, you haven't gone yet!" The mother, who came in with a basin to get rice, saw her stunned in front of the mirror, and couldn't help urging her.

Due to the tight room, the room where she and Sister Erya lived also had kimchi jars and rice jars.

"Mom, did anyone come just now?" Meng Yihui asked tentatively.

"What's the ...... Who has ever been here? The mother looked a little weak, avoided her gaze, and then opened the lid of the rice bowl and began to beat the rice. While fighting, he muttered, "I can't live this day!" You said that your eldest sister, a girl's family, why do you read so many books? It's good that I can support her after high school, but she is still clamoring to go to college, this university, I heard that she will have to pay 6,000 yuan in the first year! Don't let her go, she ran out of the city in a fit of anger and didn't come back, making everyone think we were abusing her! ”

Meng Yihui's heart jumped.

"It's a good thing to be admitted to college, Mom, what kind of university is it? Mom, I'm going to get my eldest sister back, don't worry, can't you apply for a scholarship if you are admitted to university? As long as she works hard enough and is good enough, she doesn't have to spend money to go to college! Meng Yihui's resentment in her dream suddenly disappeared, it turned out that her parents wanted to provide for her eldest sister to go to college!

She suddenly remembered an article she had read. In the article, the couple in the mountains also provided for their daughter to go to college, and after the daughter went to school for the first time, because the school charged a certain fee, the daughter wrote home and asked her parents to send the money. It didn't take long for her to receive the payment. Because she didn't have a phone, she had to write home and tell her parents that she had received the money. But it didn't take long for her to receive another sum of money. She was wondering what the family was sending money for, so she wrote home again, telling her parents that she had received the money and that she didn't need it for the time being, so please don't send any more money. As a result, it didn't take long for the family to send money again. In this way, she wrote home seven times and received money seven times.

She also thought that maybe it was because of the bumper grain harvest at home this year, and with the extra money to send to her, she had more money on hand, and even bought some skin care products and cosmetics.

And when she came home from vacation, she saw that her home was empty, the granary was half gone, the old cows in the cowshed were gone, and the chickens at home were gone.

When she asked why her family had been sending her money, her parents said that the first time she wrote a letter, because they were illiterate, they climbed a mountain to the town, found a literate person to read it for them, and gave the person a little money.

Later, every time she wrote a letter, they thought that she needed money, and they also thought that the people who studied were like this, so they didn't even look for anyone to read the letter, and directly sold her belongings and sent her money.

When the girl heard the news, her heart ached and she cried.
