Chapter 004: Self-reliance
"What accident?" Da Zhuang smiled and quipped, "Could it be that you have made a private agreement with the girl here for life, and now come back to her?" So after you returned to China, the blind date that Uncle Wei arranged for you said that you had to start your career first was all pushed away. ”
Wei Zeyang closed his lips tightly, did not squeak, but his expression was a little cold.
It's the most annoying thing to say that leaving half of the appetite is the most annoying, but Brother Ze Yang has this temperament, and he went abroad to drink foreign ink for a few years, and the two of them were a little different. Moreover, Brother Ze Yang's career seems to be very powerful, and he needs to find many people to help.
Da Zhuang had never seen Chen Xiangqian, but he knew that the other party was once a student at Kyoto University, and he almost took the iron job of the research institute, as if he had been reported for speculation, and even his student status was revoked.
Why did Brother Ze Yang look for such a person, Da Zhuang didn't understand it very well.
……
It's almost noon, and the summer sun is hot.
Lu Xiaoya searched her intestines and scraped her stomach, and finally made up her mind to go to a dilapidated house by the stream at the head of the village to settle down.
This dilapidated house was abandoned by the Lu family, and occasionally piled up some firewood, which they didn't come often. When the two of them entered, they found that the situation inside was very bad, the roof was leaking, the place was small, there was cobwebs and dust everywhere, and there were no tools to use except for a broken basket.
Simply cleaned up the house, got some clean straw, laid a layer of clothes, and made a temporary bed, which had already exhausted Lu Xiaoya and overdrawn his physical strength.
She lay on a straw pile, panting weakly. The swallow came over and gurgled with her belly, "Grandma, I'm hungry ......"
Lu Xiaoya cheered up, "Okay, let's go find something to eat." ”
Originally, she wanted to go out alone, but the swallow was too clingy to her, and she didn't worry about throwing the little guy in the house.
With her memory, she easily found a few wild vegetables, dug up a lot, and washed them in the creek. Although the conditions in Xijing Village are not good, even if every household is not white rice, at least they can make do with sweet potatoes, so no one cares about wild vegetables.
It's not enough to have wild vegetables, Yanzi is hungry when she grows her body, but her face is yellow and thin, and she doesn't know that she thinks she is only two years old and must find some nutritious food.
Lu Xiaoya thought as she walked, she ruled out a lot of plans, stealing and borrowing was basically impossible, the people in the village were sympathetic, and her reputation was quite unpopular. Catch fish and climb trees, forget it, don't have the physical strength and ability.
After I went back, the biggest headache was to make a fire and cook.
Instead, she found an enamel jar with a big hole in the corner, but the problem was that she didn't have matches!
"Swallow, you are here obediently, and mother will be back soon."
"Yes, let's go together."
Lu Xiaoya's physical strength is almost overdrawn, and it is completely supported by will, and the swallow is no better, and he is so tired that he is discouraged. She walked to the door of someone's house not far away, walked through the unfenced yard, and buckled the iron ring on the wooden door: "Grandma Wu, are you there, can you borrow a match?" ”
Grandma Wu is also called Widow Wu, more than seventy, a little lame foot, dead wife and no children, withdrawn and eccentric, no one in the village likes to deal with her, and she lives alone. Of course, Lu Xiaoya, who was timid in the past, didn't dare, she was wronged and swallowed in her stomach, but now she can give up anything in order to survive.
Not long after, the door opened, revealing Widow Wu's dark and wrinkled face through the crack in the door, tightly tensed, looking Lu Xiaoya and Yanzi up and down with fine eyes.
Lu Xiaoya briefly described her situation, but she didn't expect the other party to squeak and close the door directly.
Her heart suddenly cooled most.
