I saw what my mother said to my second brother, who scratched twice on the ground with his hoe, and then saw that my mother began to work, and he stood up again and looked around.

"Big brother, look, the second brother is lazy over there again." As soon as I turned around, my eldest brother didn't hear my words at all, just looked at the east, it turned out that Lin Cailian's side had little land, and it had already been done, and she was walking back against the hoe.

The eldest brother picked up his speed and caught up with me.

I smiled and said, "If you go to dig a well, why don't you take Lin Cailian with you?" ”

The eldest brother was stunned: "This can't work!" ”

"What's not to do! Sowing seeds on the ground will slow you down for a few days, and she will be able to follow you. ”

The eldest brother thought about it, then nodded: "It's okay, it just so happens that Lao Li said last time that he would find a couple of two, and the woman can go to wash clothes and cook, and it will be more convenient when the time comes." I'll go back and talk to her. ”

My eldest brother and I went home first, and he was in charge of lighting the fire, so I made some vegetable cakes casually.

Chop the loofah, kohlrabi and zucchini, add salt and sand water, mix some cornmeal and add some white flour, and cook it in the stove.

Then let him help me go to the woods and pick the fruit again.

When I came out, I saw that the door of my second sister-in-law's house was unlocked, and I wanted to beckon her to get up and eat while it was hot.

As soon as I pushed the door, I saw melon seed shells on the ground, a lot of dust on the table and windows, a pile of unwashed dishes on the stove outside, and unwashed clothes soaked in the laundry tub. Liu Ye was lying on the kang with his clothes and sleeping soundly, and there was a bunch of uneaten melon seeds beside him.

I immediately frowned, my second sister-in-law and second brother are really a match made in heaven, just as lazy. But she's pregnant now, which is a good excuse, and I didn't wake her up and quietly walked out.

My eldest brother and I went to the woods, and the last time we came, there were still a lot of mushrooms, but these days they have all been picked by other villagers, and we only have a small half pocket after looking for a long time.

"Don't be disappointed, I'll help you get the fruit."

The eldest brother helped me to fetch a large bag of fruits, and then he took a side road to the town, which passed directly through the back mountain, and the road into the city was much closer.

"It's a bit off here, if you're alone, don't go. It's not good in case there are snakes. ”

I promised to walk for a while, because I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, so I asked my eldest brother to wait for me, and walked over to the wild grass on the front slope, which was really remote enough, and the wild grass was more than one person high, but there were wild flowers everywhere, which was quite beautiful.

When I came out, I suddenly felt that there was something on the hillside in front of me, still shaking, and I could hear strange noises.

My heart began to beat suddenly, this is not a good movement, could it be some animal? I didn't dare to call my eldest brother, for fear of alarming the animal, and it would be bad if it bit me. I took a few more steps ahead, finally getting a good eye out what was ahead.

I almost screamed and covered my mouth!

A couple of men and women together! The man's face couldn't be seen clearly, his skin was dark and shiny, and he was a little thin, and the woman in his arms was covered with a cape, and he could only see Bai Shengsheng's back, and he didn't know who it was, and she was constantly humming.

I was so frightened that I took several steps back, my face was red and white, my mother, I didn't expect that I would encounter this! Let's go.

Who knew that in a hurry, he didn't stand firm on his feet, and he fell directly to the ground.

Boom! The voice was not loud, but it startled both of them, and the woman's exclamation: "Ah! Someone! ”

There was a crackling sound behind him, and the man asked loudly, "Who is it, you come out for me!" ”

I'm so nervous to death now, listening to this voice it seems to be Sun Hong and Gao Hu! These two people are really bold to do such a thing here in broad daylight!

"What's wrong, Qiao'er?" The eldest brother heard that my voice was wrong, so he hurriedly walked over, and he was already getting closer and closer.

I hurriedly shouted, "It's okay! Big brother, don't go. I'll be over right away! ”

Sun Hong was so panicked at this time that she pushed Gao Hu aside, stood up and dressed in a panic, her fingers were constantly trembling, and the buttons were all wrong.

I know what worries she is in her heart, if this news spreads in the village, she won't have to live!

And the unconscionable Gao Hu had already run along the grass over there at this time. Sun Hong whispered his name several times, but he didn't hear it, and the angry Sun Hong cried.

"Why are you so conscienceless, do you let me bear it myself if something happens?"

"I'm leaving." I whispered.

She walked out and grabbed my arm, her voice trembling: "Wang Qiaozhen, listen to me......"

I pressed her shoulders and helped her straighten her messy hair: "I really didn't see anything!" ”

Sun Hong cried: "Don't coax me, it's all like this, you still say this?" ”

I had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, this thing will rot in my stomach, and if I say a word, I will have boils on my tongue, and it will rot from head to toe!" ”

"But your mother and my mother are at odds with each other, if you tell your mother......"

I hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with them, and no second person will know, you believe me." ”

Sun Hong felt a little relieved, and she took out a handful of change from her pocket and stuffed it into my hand.

"You take the money! As long as you don't say it..."

I hurriedly said, "Don't take it to heart, I won't talk about it, and I don't want your money, I'll go first." ”

"But you..."

"It's not good for my eldest brother to hear it. I'm really leaving! "I'm worried that my eldest brother will hear it, so I quickly turn around and walk forward.

"Qiao'er," she called my name, and I looked back to see her looking at me gratefully, still standing there with tears in her eyes.

"Shhhh I pointed in the direction of my eldest brother and ran as fast as I could.

The eldest brother looked at me with the wrong look here, and hurriedly asked me what was wrong: "Your face is too ugly, right?" Did they bully you? ”

He said he was going inside, but I stopped him.

"Nothing!" I reluctantly smiled and said, "I thought I saw a snake just now, but I got it wrong, it really scared me to death!" ”

The eldest brother didn't ask any more questions, and quickly pushed the car onto the road, threw the bag on the bicycle, and let me sit on it too, and rode quickly in the direction of the town.

I was gasping for breath for a long time because I was so nervous.

Many years ago, a young man and a woman in the village did the same in the woods, but they were bumped into and soon spread to the village. The woman threw herself into the river at night, and the man was also beaten by his parents, and went to the field to be a blind streamer, and I heard that he had not found a partner until now, so it was normal for Sun Hong to worry about spreading the word.

Naturally, I won't say it and tell the second person, but when I think of Gao Hu, this person is too ruthless! If something happened and ran away, if it was really known by others, he wouldn't care about Sun Hong's life or death at all.

But even if he is not a good person, Sun Hong still dies and must be with him, it is really a natural fate!

I knew in my heart what she would face, but I was afraid that even if I told her seriously, she wouldn't believe it. Seeing her enter the fire pit, it was really helpless!

"Qiao'er! Are you listening to me? "Big brother talks to me.

I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled: "I was a little distracted just now, what's wrong?" ”

"I just said that I am going to dig a well soon, when I am not there, you don't always quarrel with your second brother and mother, you can't beat them, if you have any grievances, you just endure it and wait for me to come back."

"Well, I know, don't worry, big brother." I've actually made up my mind that I'm going to go with my big brother. But you can't let the eldest brother know about it.

He kept sending me to the vegetable shop in the town, and I kept urging him to go.

But the eldest brother said, "I'm worried that woman and her cousin are looking for trouble." ”

"Don't worry! I believe Yuan Fang won't trouble me anymore. ”

"How can you be so sure? You don't know her. ”

I smiled: "I don't know him, but I know who Du Cheng's mother Sun E is." She loves face so much, it is impossible for her daughter-in-law to be with a bastard every day, and because she beat me, I found a reason not to work for their family, can she not say Yuan Fang? Yuan Fang worries every day that she will not be able to marry Du Cheng, and she will definitely be honest, so I know that she will not provoke me before she gets married. ”

The eldest brother smiled, probably thinking about when my sister turned out to be a set.

"Then I'll go, you be careful."

"Don't worry."

After the eldest brother left, I sat there and put the dough cake, salted duck eggs, and the fruit and the mushrooms on top of the fertilizer bag, because I didn't want my mother to know, so I didn't need to scale, the dough cake was three cents a piece, and the salted duck egg was five cents two. The fruit is a dime a handful, and it will be sold almost in a short time.

There are so few mushrooms on the market, so I sell them for five cents. That's it, it's still in short supply, and an aunt directly gave me three yuan to wrap it up. She also kept telling me that even if she went and sold it, she would buy as much as she could.

"This mushroom can be eaten for a winter when it is dried. It's delicious and nutritious, and it's not afraid of spoilage. It's a pity that there are too few of them, and I can't buy them if I want to. ”

I promised, and I was worried that the sales were so good, but it would be useless without mushrooms.

Soon there was a little fruit left, and I saw that it was not too early, so I was ready to close the stall, and the rest was eaten by my family. Today I have earned more than five yuan, and I have a lot more money in my private house, and I am very happy.

Just as I was about to pack up my things, I suddenly heard someone in my ear speak: "How do you sell this fruit?" ”

The voice is gentle and clear, and it is a high natural voice that I always remember!
