The next day, Xiao Ju's family didn't think about entering Nanyang City again, Xiao Ju Niang and Liu Zhu were inferior, after being watched yesterday, the words of the onlookers they heard in their ears and put them in their hearts. Zhuang Zhuang was frightened, and in his small heart, he came to a conclusion that the people in Nanyang City were not good people.

And Xiaoju is considering that the image of the current family is too wolf, and she will go after she tidies everyone up! In this way, at least you won't be disgusted when you go shopping. In her heart, poverty is not terrible, as long as she is not short-sighted, she can slowly change it.

After eating breakfast in a hurry, Xiaoju used the wooden pot at home to fill some stove ash, smoothed it, wrote five words on it, and taught a few people in the family to read it, and then asked them to get a branch and find a place to learn to write.

She dismantled and washed the cotton hats worn by the family and dried them over the fire. At the same time, her set of cotton clothes, as early as the evening, she took advantage of everyone falling asleep and went into a small space to disassemble and wash it. It's just that it didn't dry, and it was also dried with the dismantled and cleaned cotton cap at this time. And she leaned against the fire around the quilt and fell into meditation.

After yesterday's events, she realized the benefits of her own strength. For the practice, he fell into an unprecedented frenzy.

Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang learned very seriously and energetically, and it didn't take long for the two of them to memorize the reading and writing of those five words in their hearts. And Xiao Ju Niang was a little sad, she didn't remember a word for a long time, and she thought about some miscellaneous things in her head from time to time, and her energy was not completely focused on those words at all.

When Xiao Ju woke up from meditation, her clothes had already been dried, and she smiled with some satisfaction when she put on a cotton coat that was patchy and patchy, but clean and warm.

Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang saw that Xiao Ju was no longer sitting by the stove with her eyes closed, and knew that the meditation she was talking about was over. The two men, one big and one small, looked at Xiao Ju eagerly.

"Sister, I know all the words you teach today! When did you teach me that meditation? He looked at Xiao Ju with strong eyes, like a puppy.

"I will too!" Liu Zhu has the same demeanor as Zhuang Zhuang.

"That meditation didn't work. You should first learn Tai Chi and practice it! Xiao Ju was in a good mood, and when she meditated just now, she found that the qi in her body was a lot rougher. And the beads on the lower abdomen are brighter.

"Xiao Ju. My mother can't remember these words at all! It's too complicated! Xiao Ju Niang shouted while looking at the words written by Xiao Ju in the wooden basin.

Xiaoju couldn't help it, when she approached her mother's side, she couldn't help but sigh, her mother was so talented, according to what she wrote, none of the words were written correctly. It seems that it is really difficult for her to let her mother learn to read and write. I had to settle for the next best thing. "I really can't write, so let's learn to read first! Let's talk about it later! ”

As soon as Xiao Juniang heard this, she immediately threw away the branch she was holding in her hand happily as if she had been released from prison, and then saw that everyone was staring at her, so she was a little embarrassed to explain: "Hehe." I'm tired of writing! Take a break! ”

Xiao Ju smiled helplessly, it seems that as long as my mother learns to read, she will make people burn high incense, as for writing, don't count on it. And when I practiced kung fu, I didn't pay much attention to my mother's behavior. I had to step up and make myself stronger! If Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang can also practice. As long as they can protect themselves. At that time, it should be no problem to protect my mother alone.

And so it was, almost a week. Everyone's mind was on studying, and they didn't go to the city gate to get gruel. Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang have learned nearly 100 words in this week. And he is very proficient in a set of Tai Chi.

Strong and small, strong receptivity, and good memory, not to mention that Xiao Ju also taught some on the way to escape the famine, and Tai Chi used to be in Huaxian County, and Xiao Ju also practiced for a while, at this time, not only did he learn very quickly, but he also began to draw inferences a little.

And Liu Zhu, don't look at people who look simple, but I didn't expect him to be an insider. Although the speed of learning is slower than that of Zhuang Zhuang because of his age, because he is an adult, his comprehension and comprehension are stronger than that of Zhuang Zhuang. Xiaoju is still very satisfied with these two students.

It's just that Xiao Ju Niang almost made her head white. In Xiao Ju's eyes, if Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Zhu are excellent students in the class, then Xiao Ju Niang is the kind of student in the class who is very stupid and gives the teacher a headache. Not to mention learning to write, even the words taught every day are forgotten while reading, and a week has passed, and the more than 100 words are still not recognized.

And that set of Tai Chi boxing, in Xiao Ju Niang, is the same as recognizing words, forgetting the previous moves, and there is no way to complete a complete set of boxing methods. In the end, in desperation, Xiao Ju had no choice but to give up Xiao Ju Niang, and let her disassemble and wash everyone's cotton clothes and quilts, dry them, and sew up the broken places. And cook three meals a day for everyone, while the three of them concentrate on learning and practicing.

After this week's tidying up, the overall appearance of Xiaoju's family has taken on a new look, although the clothes and hats on their bodies are still patched, but they exude a clean smell, and the messy and dirty hair has long been cut clean, but in order not to attract attention, everyone still has some dust on their faces.

may be because she is very poor in both literacy and boxing, and when facing Xiao Ju, she always feels a little weak and guilty, so this week Xiao Ju Niang is particularly keen on the hygiene of the home, not only dismantling and cleaning the quilt, but also tidying up the home very comfortably. Xiaoju can't bear to blame her for not studying hard. After all, everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at.

On this day, after Xiao Ju's family got up early in the morning, they began to fight in front of the grass shed again, only Xiao Ju, Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang fought like flowing water, and Xiao Ju Niang purely danced with him. Xiao Ju didn't have the strength to correct her for a long time, so she could only mess around, just move in the morning and exercise!

A few members of the Xiaoju family were playing comfortably, when an abrupt and somewhat sharp voice sounded from behind them: "Alas, Sister Liu, what are your family doing here early in the morning?" It's really free! ”

Xiao Ju waited for the last momentum to be retracted, and then turned around to see who it was, so nosy. But it was the woman who came to talk to Xiao Ju Niang some time ago, and lived behind her house and was called Aunt Zeng.

"Aunt Zeng, isn't this nesting in the grass shed every day, and her bones are uncomfortable! In addition, there is nothing to do, so I just stretch my hands and feet, so that people are comfortable! Xiao Ju Niang had already greeted her, smiling at Mimi's explanation. Xiaoju found that when dealing with people of the same level, her mother was very wandering, and only in that kind of person she thought was rich and noble, she would show her humility.

"How can I have such a blessing as you? It's early in the morning to mow the grass and find edible bark and wild vegetables! Otherwise, how can that little relief porridge be enough? The words in Aunt Zeng's mouth seemed to be envious, but the expression on her face was disapproving.

"We're going to mow the grass and chop the wood, too! It's a cold day, and if you don't prepare more firewood, this winter will be very difficult! Xiao Ju Niang sighed.

"yes!" Aunt Zeng looked at the house on the right, and lowered her voice a little mysteriously: "Do you know that the family that lives on the right side of your house doesn't have a young girl who looks quite gentle?" Looking like that, I must have gone to a foreign school before! ”

As soon as Xiao Ju heard Aunt Zeng's words, her little ears immediately stood up high, but she didn't expect that this Aunt Zeng's gossip news was very strong, and even other people's girls could see that they had never gone to a foreign school. It seems that everything in the future will have to avoid her sharp eyes.

"Oh? What happened to going to the foreign school? Xiao Juniang didn't react at once.

"I saw that girl yesterday at the human trafficking place at the city gate, crying and muttering, and her old son and mother were by her side, and she was also crying." Aunt Zeng's tone was full of sympathy.

"What do you say? Is there a human trafficker at the city gates? Xiao Ju Niang was taken aback, and her voice couldn't help but be a little louder.

"Alas, Sister Liu, what are you doing so scephaly? Those people are ostensibly recruiting, but they are only recruiting young and beautiful female workers! A discerning person will know what is going on at a glance! Aunt Zeng said with a pout.

"Since everyone can guess it, why are you still fooled? If you are sold to that kind of place, isn't that harming your own daughter? Xiao Ju Niang asked in surprise.

"So what do you say? Look at the family that has no food, go to the city to ask for it, not only will no one give it, but you will be beaten out! And the government has no relief food, so it relies on the little gruel that can be seen every day, so how can everyone survive! Aunt Zeng's eyes were red as she spoke, "I don't have a girl, otherwise I would have let her go, so that not only can I save the family, but also give her a way to live!" ”

Xiao Ju Niang heard this and fell silent. But after Xiaoju heard the news, she felt a kind of sadness in her heart, it seemed that for the survival of her family, another round of women was going to be sacrificed.

Aunt Zeng was stunned when she saw that Xiaoju's family was frightened by the news she said, and her face showed a kind of satisfaction, and she was about to say a few more words, when she scared this stupid family, her man's roar came from her family's residence: "Big dog, second dog, what about your mother?" Did you run away again and break your mouth? ”

"This woman, she doesn't do things, she only knows how to wander around all day long, wait for her to come back, see if I don't break her legs!"

……

When Aunt Zeng heard the roars, her face turned pale, and she didn't even say goodbye in a panic, so she hurried towards the house. And Xiao Juniang heard the sound of scolding and beating from behind her grass shed, and sighed: "Another hard-working woman!" ”

Xiaoju reminded: "Mother, don't get too close to this Aunt Zeng!" I don't think this guy is a good guy! ”

"Mother knows how to measure! Her mouth is so broken, she loves to talk about things, and her mother will guard against her! Xiao Ju Niang thought that she almost made a mistake last time to tell her daughter's secret, and she had already set an alarm bell for this Zeng family in her heart.

"Mother, is it true that you said she just said that something happened?" After all, Xiaoju still hopes that the victims will sell their sons and daughters in exchange for survival, and this news is fake.

"It shouldn't be fake! It's just a pity that that girl, my mother has seen it, and she looks so beautiful! Xiao Ju Niang sighed. (To be continued.) )
