In the dilapidated farmhouse courtyard, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl dressed in navy blue old clothes held a big knife in her slender little hand, laboriously cutting the hard hemp cake (a round cake about ten centimeters thick after the dregs of soybean frying oil), and when the knife was cut off the hemp cake, it swayed and trembled, which made people feel frightened when they looked at it.

A few Luhua chickens twisted their buttocks and stretched their heads in circles around the girl, and occasionally one of them pecked a bite, and quickly ran away to devour it, and then returned......

In front of the cauldron in the hall, a thin woman of about thirty years old, with a gloomy face, glanced at the girl's small figure, slammed the broom on the pot table, took the old water scoop and scooped the pot water.

"Bang dang!" , Excessive force, the originally loose screws came to a free fall movement, the scoop head and the scoop handle were separated, and the splash of water splashed the woman's face and hand.

The woman frowned, scooped out the head of the scoop with the long fence and threw it aside, fluttered the water stains on the placket and cuffs, took the gourd ......scoop next to the pot and scooped the water into a dirty old leather bucket in front of the stove.

Turning his head to glance at the man in the east room who was coaxing the child with a tiger head, he rolled his eyes, and the woman lifted half a bucket of dirty water, "Wow!" ......" splashed into the middle of the courtyard.

The Luhua chicken, which was originally surrounding the girl, ran over happily, pounding back and forth on the ground with its sharp mouth......

"Get out! I can eat the dirty stuff which I can't do! Get out of the way! ......" the woman scolded, bending down and grabbing a handful of sand and throwing it towards the chickens.

The Luhua chickens who drank happily adopted a policy of ignoring the sand and soil raised by the woman, which made the woman's anger even stronger, and she reached out and grabbed the big stone in the corner of the wall and threw it over.

"Boom!"

"Giggle...... Giggle......"

"Fluttering ......"

The yard was immediately in chaos, and the girl who cut the hemp cake seemed to be deaf to all this, and continued to struggle with the hemp cake in her hand with a blank face......

The man came out of the east house with the child in his arms: "What are you doing?" Chicken drinking a little water can also attract you to drink the heavens and the earth, I think you just don't love the days of light all day long, you have to do something to be comfortable! ”

The woman smashed the water scoop at the man: "The day of light? Marry a man and marry a man to dress and eat, but I marry you not only can't eat and dress well, but I don't even have a decent nest, are you still a man? ……”

The man turned around quickly, and the water scoop smashed firmly on his back, and a few drops of water splashed on the child's little face, and the little guy's mouth was deflated, and he howled earth-shatteringly.

The man felt sorry for the child, frowned and looked at the woman with an angry face.

The woman reluctantly stretched her head to the man: "Why are you staring at it so big?" If you have the ability to beat me, if you are a man, you will beat me to death, beat me and beat me......"

"What's wrong with this? What's going on here? ......" A woman about fifty years old, wearing a blue shirt and black pants, came in from outside the courtyard at the right time, rushed to the man in three or two steps, and snatched the child. ”

"Mother, you have to call the shots for me, woo ......" The woman's cry of grabbing the sky and the earth overwhelmed the voice of the baby in swaddling clothes with an absolute advantage.

"Chu Dong, you are a man, let Mei take a count."

"Mother, why didn't I let her? ……”

The girl put down the blunt knife in her hand, rubbed her sore wrists and deflated fingertips, and sighed helplessly, for more than half a year, such a commotion has been staged almost every day, and she has not only not adapted to it, but has become more and more annoyed.

What kind of sin did she Lin Chuxia do, and God wants to punish her like this!!!! Yes, she is Lin Chuxia, but she is not Lin Chuxia......

"In early summer, why is there such a big piece of wet on my back? Did your sister-in-law splash it? ”

The soft inquiry made Lin Chuxia's irritability in her heart alleviate a lot, she raised her head, looked at the middle-aged woman standing in front of her with a worried face: "Mother, it's okay, it's just a little splashed, by the way, why did my mother come back so early today?" ”

"Mother and your father are divided into a group, and your father can do the rest of the work by himself......" Zhao Yulan, the mother of early summer, reached out and touched the girl's head, "It's finally not hot, alas, your body is ......" sighed, couldn't go on.

The daughter's body was not good, and after a serious illness, she became even weaker, but the family really couldn't come up with good things to supplement her daughter's body...... and her heart hurt in the early summer.

"Mother, I'll be active more, it's fine." Chu Xia hurriedly stood up, grabbed Zhao Yulan's arm and shook it, "Mother, don't worry about me." ”

Zhao Yulan's eyes were slightly red, since that serious illness, her daughter has always been lukewarm to her, for this, she cried a lot at night, finally, there is finally hope......

Near evening, in the early summer, Lin Baohe, his father returned home with a shovel and pickaxe, and he was not good at words, he looked at his daughter a few times, and then looked at his wife inquiringly.

"The fever has subsided, it's almost better." Zhao Yulan said diligently, and Lin Baohe's worried expression immediately relaxed.

The parents' concern is so real, and a warm feeling wells up in the heart of early summer: "Dad, mother, I will go to work tomorrow." ”

"No way!"

Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan almost vetoed it in unison.

"In early summer, how can you do all that heavy work? Let's talk about it for a while, don't take your sister-in-law's words to heart. Alas......"

Speaking of the back, Chu Xia Niang lamented again and again, in the countryside, no son means no roots, and it is extremely despised by others.

The house they live in now is a hall house, an east house, and an east room and a west room, the east room and the east house belong to the early summer uncle's house, and the west room belongs to the early summer house, and the two houses share it.

The reason for this distribution is because Chuxia's father has no son, and Chuxia's grandfather reluctantly divided a westhouse for Chuxia's family to live in.

Aunt Chu Xia gave birth to twin sons, yes, Grandpa Chu Xia Grandma gave another house to Uncle Chu Xia, and the old couple also lived there, saying that after a hundred years, the house would belong to Uncle and Aunt Chu Xia.

The sister-in-law of early summer always shook her face and cried like this, naturally she thought that the early summer family occupied a room, and wanted to drive the early summer family out of the house.

"I'll pick up the food." In early summer, the mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and went to the hall, but in early summer, she was still stunned, so she didn't go with her.

"Mother, your stomach hurts again?" When Chu Xia's mother came in with a rice basket, her body was rickety, and Chu Xia thought that she had made an old mistake again, so she hurriedly got off the kang to help her.

"No ......"

Chu Xia Niang inhaled, took out an egg from the position of her stomach and handed it to Chu Xia, her low voice was full of pleasure, "My mother cooked it for you." ”

In early summer, I immediately understood, when I was cleaning up my own meal, the uncle's family always "happened" someone to come out, my mother must be in a hurry, so she put it in her arms, this freshly boiled egg ......, and in early summer, she hurriedly lifted Zhao Yulan's clothes, and saw a red piece on her stomach......

Early Summer, who has always had very hard tears, quietly sniffed her nose, put down Zhao Yulan's clothes, rolled the eggs on the edge of the kang, carefully peeled the skin, and then broke the eggs into three pieces: "Dad, mother, you also eat." ”

"Mother is choking." Zhao Yulan stuffed the egg back in front of Chu Xia, "Chu Xia, be obedient, if you let your sister-in-law see it, we won't be able to live in the future." This egg was given by your fat aunt, and she said that she felt distressed when she looked at you......" Zhao Yulan choked and couldn't continue.

Lin Baohe silently pushed the egg back in front of Chu Xia, got up and went to the hall, and after a while, he came in with three bowls of cornmeal with a cover mat: "Eat." ”

"Dad, mother, I will let you live a good life." After the meal, such a sentence suddenly popped up in early summer.

Eggs, she ate, porridge, she drank, sorghum flour and cornmeal and flour pasted with hard to swallow cakes, she also swallowed.

She has always been negative, she has no sense of belonging to this era, she can't be really close to this father and mother, yes, for her who doesn't like to eat, drink, or dislike, she would rather make her body worse than force herself.

However, people's hearts are flesh and blood, after more than half a year of getting along, her heart has gradually been warmed by them, she knows that the father and mother of this era, and the parents of that era, all love her the same, since she occupies the body of other people's daughters, she can no longer live so half-dead.

Zhao Yulan narrowed her eyes happily: "Xia, as long as you can marry a good family and live comfortably, my father and mother will think it is a good life." ”

"Hmm." Lin Baohe's words couldn't be shorter, but looking at his soft facial expressions, he knew that he was also happy.

After Zhao Yulan gave birth to Chu Xia, Chu Xia's grandmother learned that it was her granddaughter, so she didn't even look at it, let alone serve the confinement child. As a result, Zhao Yulan, who got off the kang in advance during the confinement, fell ill and could no longer have children.

Of course, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan regretted this, but later, the two of them accepted this fact calmly, and spoiled their daughter from the bottom of their hearts. It's just that my daughter has never been very close to them.

In the winter of last year, my daughter had a little conflict with my little sister, and she secretly ran away from home in the heavy rain, but fortunately she was seen by the same villagers and brought back.

After a serious illness in the rain, the daughter's attitude towards the two of them became more and more cold, and sometimes she didn't even bother to talk to them, but fortunately, her daughter's attitude was slowly changing during this time, but it was the first time that she was so close to her like today, and she had not been so intimate with them in the early summer before she was seriously ill, which made them a little flattered.

This night, the family slept very comfortably, the early summer father and the early summer mother were because their daughter finally opened the heart knot, and the early summer was indeed because the heart knot was finally opened, but the so-called heart knot between the two sides was completely different.
