Liao Qiang hurriedly agreed: "I know, thank you so much!" Then I'll go back first! ”

I sent Liao Qiang out, he said that it has been these two days to catch pheasants, let me prepare a thicker padded jacket, a little millet, and a small basket for pheasants, and he will give me the clips, and I agreed one by one.

When the other person left, I smiled and walked back, I wanted to keep my distance from him forever, but in order to make money, I could only do this, and I felt very uncomfortable.

Mom was putting potatoes in the pit, and when she saw me coming back, she smiled and said, "He's leaving?" Nor do I eat a meal at home. ”

"He went to Zheng's house to eat, and he asked me to talk to Zheng Sisi about marriage, but I refused." I've given the reasons for that.

"Well done. Let's not mix it up. Nizi, let's have baked potatoes at noon. ”

I smiled and nodded, "Okay, I love to eat, let's put a few more." ”

"No, I ate too much heartburn." Mom smiled and made the stove: "Nizi, when I got up this morning to get ash outside, I saw Wang Xiuhua, she no longer squeezed us like before, and said hello with a smile, I think my heart is open, you are so powerful, there will be fewer and fewer people who bully us." ”

I sat next to her with a grin: "Isn't it comfortable to be alive and hard?" ”

Mom nodded: "Yes, Mom used to always think about patience, but it seems to be wrong." ”

She discussed with me again and gave Liao Qiang a dress when she was ready for the New Year: "Wait until we sell shoes and eggs for money." Tear a piece of cloth and give him a piece of clothing to wear when you go out, you can't let the family save you in vain. Nizi, although you think that there is a difference between men and women, and you have always refused to associate with Liao Qiang, but if it is too cold, you feel that we are not close to people. ”

"I see." In order to change the topic, I told my mother about Du Sanzhuang again: "It doesn't seem good to marry someone from the city, otherwise it will be like this, and if you don't quit your family, isn't it just coveting the other party's conditions?" ”

Mom frowned and said, "If you don't withdraw from your family, what will happen to that girl and child?" ”

"Whatever! It has nothing to do with us anyway. It's He Xiang's temperament that is so arrogant, I don't know what it will be. ”

Mom didn't speak, and she didn't have any sympathetic looks, after all, the uncle's family was not a good person.

It didn't take long for the potatoes to be baked, and the whole room was full of fragrant smells, and my mother and I ate them one by one. In the afternoon, we made another pair of cotton shoes.

Mom said: "Let's go to the city tomorrow, sell these pairs of cotton shoes, let's exchange some money, seeing that the New Year is coming, there is no money at all, and I am embarrassed to go to see your grandma and grandpa." ”

"Mom, you're waiting for me for two days, I'll see if I can catch a pheasant, and I'll sell it together."

We didn't eat the canned food given by the village chief and Director Chen Jian last time, so we kept it for my mother to take back to my grandmother and grandfather, and it would look good when I went back to my parents' house.

As for those cakes, I am also going to sell them together, and I am in desperate need of money now, and I can only leave this village quickly with the money in my hand.

There are two ex-husbands in this place who have miserably killed me, and there are evil people in the family, I must leave.

A few days later, one morning, Liao Qiang came over again, this time he was not himself, and he brought several people, including two little girls from their village, who were very good-looking, and wanted to follow Liao Qiang to catch pheasants.

One is called Luo Xiaoya, and the other is called Jiang Hua.

Everyone is dressed tightly, except for their eyes, and in addition to me, there is also a young man named Yang Yu in our village, who also came, his family is quite poor, and he is not very good-looking.

In my previous life, I didn't have a deep impression of him, and it seems that he went into the city and didn't find a job, so he went down to dig coal. His eyes were rolling on the two girls, and he paid no attention to me.

There's another guy here that I hate. Bai Lan, she's going too!

She was wearing a fuchsia padded jacket and a white scarf, which was very charming. That night, she framed me and Liu Zhijian, and today she came over to say hello with a smile as if nothing happened.

"Nizi, let's go together."

I snorted from my nose: "Liu Zhijian didn't come along!" ”

Several people all laughed in a low voice, the neighboring villages are so close, and everyone knows about what happens to them, not to mention that Liu Zhijian is a famous bastard in ten miles and eight towns, although they don't admit it to Bai Lan and Liu Zhijian, they have already spread it. Her fiancé Liu Carpenter and Liao Qiang are from the same village, and they probably already know, but he is a wreck, and he probably won't do anything.

Bai Lan's face changed, and then she said coquettishly: "Why are you kidding like this, haven't you all returned my innocence?" I don't have anything to do with him. Don't think about it. ”

I glanced at her: "I didn't think about it, I just asked casually." After all, he likes to go into the mountains the most, are you too careful? ”

Everyone in the village knows that Liu Zhijian's grandfather and father used to be hunters, and they went to the town to sell animal skins and meat before the beginning of spring every year.

Bai Lan choked, then smiled, "Yes, yes." She wasn't talking.

Liao Qiang smiled: "Are you ready?" Let's go! ”

"Well, Zheng Sisi didn't come with you again?"

"She recently went to see her aunt's house, and she left the day before yesterday, what, didn't she tell you?" He was a little confused.

I smiled and shook my head: "No, maybe I'm in too much of a hurry." Her dad has always been very strict with her. You know that, too. ”

I guessed in my heart that Zheng Sisi was probably angry, because in my previous life, I had always taken the initiative to play with her, coaxing her like a maid to make her happy, and I was too lazy to take care of her in this life, so she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to find me.

Liao Qiang was very worried, and it was estimated that it was because of the fact that the marriage did not work out, so he didn't say anything, and everyone went up the mountain together.

A few people laughed as they walked, and they didn't feel very lonely along the way.

The mountain road was wide at first, and there were traces of people walking on it, but gradually it became rugged, and everyone slowed down and gasped to go up, and the hills with no end in sight scared many villagers back. We are all sweating, but we are still persevering, how can we catch the pheasant without hardship?

Bai Lan has been taking the initiative to talk to me, and I didn't respond much, so she became honest.

And Yang Yu obviously took a fancy to Luo Xiaoya and kept making do with her. But Luo Xiaoya looked at the torn cotton jacket and discounted cotton shoes he was wearing, and she was a little bored and didn't speak, but the Jiang Hua next to her seemed to have a good impression of Yang Yu, and kept pulling him to laugh.

I saw it very clearly at the end, pursed my lips and smiled, and did not participate.

Liao Qiang suddenly slowed down and turned back to me and said, "Nizi, why don't you deal with the object?" You're not too young. ”

I glanced at Liao Qiang: "Are you still worried about me?" ”

"Yes, there are a lot of young people in our village, I'll find you a suitable one to ensure good character."

"Forget it, the current situation of our family is not suitable for marriage, I'm still young, wait until the beginning of spring, I want to find a good job, work to earn some living expenses, and talk about the rest."

Liao Qiang looked at me in surprise: "You want to go into the city?" ”

"What's the matter, can't I go into the city?" I looked at him with a smile: "Or do you think that he is just a graduate of elementary school, even if he goes to the city, he doesn't have a good job, and his efforts are in vain." ”

"I didn't ...... It doesn't mean that, don't get me wrong. It's good to have ambitions, let's go! ”

Bai Lan glanced at me, her mouth pursed, and she looked disdainful.

I don't care about her, I thought in my heart that when Zheng Sisi and Liao Qiang were together, they must have talked about my shortcomings, no culture, no looks, no family background, they are useless at all, and if they go to the city, they won't be able to mix at all.

I have already made up my mind, no matter how difficult it is, I have to leave here, let you see, I am not a useless person, and Liao Qiang probably saw that I was unhappy, and he didn't say anything.

We started to climb the mountain, and when we saw Liao Qiang's back in front of us, I thought of my past life. The two of us also walked like this, Liao Qiang's feet were still a little lame at the time, but he still walked very fast, and he always had a cold attitude regardless of me following behind.

I often shed tears while walking, and it was really bitter.

In this life, he often laughed with me all the time, and treated me very well, which is really ironic.

The sun shines on the vast expanse of snow, making it a little difficult to open your eyes.

In some places, the snow has reached the knees, and it is very difficult to walk. Everyone stopped talking, they were all wheezing hard, and the surrounding woods were very dense, the slope was also very large, and there were snowflakes like quilts all around, and few people came, if it weren't for the fact that I had come here many times with Liao Qiang in my previous life, I would have been exhausted to death.

Jiang Hua hummed while walking: "How long will it take?" I can't do it anymore, I'm exhausted. ”

"You're just leaving, can't you?" Yang Yu smiled: "Look at Luo Xiaoya, she has been persevering." ”

Luo Xiaoya didn't say a word, and walked forward with great effort, not caring about his overtures at all.

Yang Yu didn't feel embarrassed and walked over. I was also out of breath and gasping constantly, and the old cotton shoes on my feet were filled with snow, which was very uncomfortable. Bai Lan walked and slided, constantly pulling Liao Qiang, and almost bumped into his arms several times, Liao Qiang was embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only endure it. I sneered in my heart, this woman is really coquettish enough.

Liao Qiang suddenly said: "Have you seen it?" There are footprints ahead! ”

Everyone shouted in surprise and gathered around to see that there were indeed a few small footprints on the snowdrift. It's small and messy, and there are a few big paw prints in front of it.
