Seeing that I was so firm, my mother also nodded: "Nizi, what you said makes sense." Mom listens to you. But your eldest sister is polite, let's not go, just stay in our own home, if someone knows, we must gossip, let's go to the hospital together to see, make sure it's okay, and I can rest assured. ”

I thought for a moment before saying, "Okay." Actually, I want to go into the city and see it. ”

In my previous life, Liao Qiang and I sold a lot of food in the morning market, noodles, wontons and fried fritters, and I also learned a lot of skills, and if I want to make a little money by my own ability to support my mother, it is best to leave here quickly.

I must not let my mother get tired again, and she has no money to see a doctor, and finally dies miserably.

Mom suddenly began to worry: "But Nizi...... I don't have any money now, so let's go to my grandmother's house and borrow some money before we go. ”

Although the two of us contributed the most to the fields at home, after the autumn harvest they only gave us a little money to sell grain, and a little wheat and corn were given to us, and we had to eat potatoes for several months before the beginning of spring every year, so we had no money to go to the city.

Although the grandmother and grandfather of the neighboring village are willing to help, their ability is limited, and the uncle's eyebrows are cold, and they have been blocking him, he always said: "The water spilled by the married daughter, what is the matter with the old subsidy of the mother's family, I have emptied the house, let me be a bachelor for the rest of my life?" ”

Uncle was so annoyed when he saw us go back, so grandma and grandpa could only quietly give three melons and two dates, and my mother couldn't care about them asking for money.

I thought about it, grabbed my mother, and said excitedly: "Come to think of it, I have money!" Since I was a child, I have been selling some yam herbs and fruits to save, and the New Year's money that my grandfather used to give, there are more than a dozen yuan. ”

I have a secret base, a big tree hole that I discovered when I was twelve, and when I got the money, I wrapped it in oiled paper and stuffed it in, and it was safe all the time.

But then I told Zheng Sisi about it, and she stole the flowers, and then cried and apologized to me, and I saw that she was crying so pitifully, so I forgave her.

I regarded her as the only friend in my life, but I was abandoned by Liao Qiang, and after leaving the house, I went to the city to work by myself, but after she saw it, she directly told the informant, let Liu Zhijian arrest me back, and forcibly forced me to marry him, I jumped from one pit to another.

Thinking of the old days, my fists clenched again.

Mom said at this time: "It's not easy for you to save some money, don't take it out." ”

I smiled and said, "That's my own money, I don't spend it in vain, I also want to go into the city to see if there are any opportunities to make money in the city." Mom, you rest, I'll cook. ”

I took out a small cabbage from the corner of the kitchen, washed it and cut it into thin strips, brushed a spoonful of oil on the bottom of the pot, fried it with dried red peppers, and then mixed the cornmeal with dried sweet potatoes to make a nest and steamed a few steamed buns.

It's very dark in color, and it's not very tasty, so I added a little bit of flour to the noodles.

My mother smiled and said, "It's delicious, when did you learn to cook?" ”

In her previous life, she was reluctant to let me work, and I didn't know much about cooking at first, but I learned it when I married Liao Qiang.

I smiled and said, "It's not difficult, Mom likes to eat, I'll cook in the future." Try my craft more. "I must take good care of her in this life.

I bowed my head and served her food, and the two of us had a simple meal, cleaned up, changed clothes, and prepared to enter the city.

My mother was wearing a half-worn fuchsia coat, and I was wearing a red padded jacket, which my grandmother had bought for two years, and it was no longer warm. I grew one, so the sleeve became shorter, so my mother gave me a black sleeve from the edge, so that it didn't look obtrusive.

Before going out, I felt that my braids were too long, and I looked awkward, so I grabbed the scissors and cut a large section and combed a short ponytail.

Mom tried to stop but didn't stop: "You kid, the people in the village should say that you look weird!" ”

I smiled and said, "It's usually troublesome to wash your hair, and we don't have soap at home, so let's make it shorter." There are hair collectors in the city, so let's sell them for some money. ”

Mom nodded stunned: "Nizi, you are really different." ”

Of course it's different, my mother and I just went out, and we met Aunt Osmanthus in the village. She looked at a bundle of firewood, she was wearing a home-made flower cotton jacket, a green turban holding her head, and her eyelashes were full of white frost, and she was white.

She is a famous big mouth, she knows everything in the village, and she is in the village if she has nothing to do.

I hated her very much in my previous life, but later I found out that she was not a bad person, and then no one cared about my life or death, so she could occasionally stuff me with a nest.

I think, if I had more dealings with her at that time, would I have been able to know Zheng Sisi's personality from her mouth, and I wouldn't have been so miserable?

"You two are going out!" She smiled and put Chai He down and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

I hurriedly took the initiative to greet her: "Hello auntie, so much firewood, I'll help you get it!" ”

She hurriedly smiled: "No need! I'm home soon. Is this cooking for your uncle's house? ”

Mom sighed: "We won't go, I'll take the girl to the city to see a doctor, didn't she fall into the river before and got cold, I'm worried that something is wrong with her, so I'll go to see a doctor." ”

Osmanthus eyes flashed before she smiled: "It's right if you don't go, that's the kind of family, you can't get good even if you are tired to death, don't worry about it!" I'm going to come back when the time comes, and I'll be like that to my family, there's nothing worth paying! ”

My mom smiled and didn't say anything.

Osmanthus looked around at no one, and then pulled my mother and said, "I've heard that the Liu family often goes to find your eldest brother." I guess it's to tell Nizi about the object. I want to say that I kissed Liu Zhijian, and his family has a crush on his second daughter, He Jing, but she doesn't agree, so she will turn to your family. ”

I sneered, and this began to calculate?

My mother's face suddenly changed and she frowned.

"This He Fa is really selfish, his daughter is looking for a good partner, and the daughter of my younger brother's family pushes it into the fire pit, I think it's just for the bride price. That guy isn't a good thing! Sun Ping had found several girls from neighboring villages for his son before, and they listened to his reputation and didn't agree without saying a word. ”

"Thank you, I can't let the girl marry him." My mom said firmly.

Osmanthus said a few words and left.

Mom chattered to me on the road: "I just die hard, and I won't let you get married, you and He Xiang are both children of the He family, why did she marry so well, but she wanted to abuse you so badly." You don't know, Liu Zhijian is not a good bird. ”

I smiled, of course I knew him, ugly and lazy, a bastard who only knew how to drink and beat his wife.

Mom suddenly choked up and said: "He Xiang went to junior high school and has a job in a supply and marketing cooperative, that man heard that his family is good, he is from the city, and he is good for her." It's all my mother's fault, I only let you go to elementary school and come down, how can you find a good partner? ”

I smiled and said, "Mom, don't feel guilty about the past, I don't have to get married to have a good life." ”

"You say stupid things, how can a woman not marry, and the spitting stars will drown you."

"It's not a thing to get married, it's better not to marry, in short, I am in charge of my own life, and no one can control it."

Mom sighed and stopped talking.

I wrapped my arms around my mother and walked forward, but we had to pass by He Xiang's house to get money from the woods.

We walked briskly together, trying to get over quickly.

Their yard is huge, and the big iron gate is also magnificent, which is in stark contrast to the dilapidated yard of our house.

Today is the day of He Xiang's family's ceremony, so the gate has always been open, there are still a lot of firecracker debris on the ground, the air and the smell of firecrackers, many people gathered at the door to laugh, although I can't hear it, but I know that they must be envious of He Xiang marrying, after all, there are not many village girls who married into the city at that time.

I saw Zheng Sisi talking and laughing with He Xiang and her sister He Jing from a distance, and the three of them didn't know what to say, and it took a while for her to turn around and leave.
