Chapter 143: They All Have Something on Their Minds
I entered the house where Gou Yu'er lived, and before I could speak, Aunt Jia and Gou Yu'er knelt in front of me. I hurriedly went up the mountain to help Aunt Jia up, but the dog was obedient and kept kneeling there and didn't get up.
"Dog, get up quickly. Why don't Brother Dunzi give you chicken feet to eat? I picked up Aunt Jia and said to the dog leftovers.
"My mom won't let me get up! I'm not going to get up! "This time, the dog leftover has withstood the test of chicken paws, which makes me a little impressed with him.
"Aunt Jia, you hurry up and let the dog get up, so what do you want me to do, do you want me to kneel with him!" I made my attitude clear.
"Okay, dog, your brother will let you get up, you can get up!" Aunt Jia also accepted it when she saw it.
"Aunt Jia, Uncle Quan Bao roughly told me about the dog's father. Actually, I can't really help you with anything. If you ask me to send you any materials to Uncle Zhang, I can send you materials even if I am scolded. But if you really hope to get it done, I really can't help it. ”
"Dunzi, I also know that it's very difficult to do things now. For the sake of his father, we sold everything we could, but his father was still sentenced to 20 years.
I think after all, it was so many people who went together to ask for wages that happened, why did something happen, and after hurting someone, let the dog leave his father alone. Who doesn't have a wife and children, parents and brothers! I just think those people are too unrighteous. ”
Aunt Jia cried as she spoke, and the dog seemed to be used to this kind of scene, but instead wandered there, playing with her fingers.
"I know, just give me what you give me back, I'll hand this over to Uncle Zhang directly, and I don't dare to say anything about the future."
"I'll be grateful for that, and I'll be grateful for that, and I'll have a result for this. No matter what, I'm dead, and I'll live with your Uncle Quanbao in the future. ”
If Aunt Jia didn't say that to me, I still think she has a deep affection for Uncle Quan Bao. But when I heard her say this, I felt that she missed her husband more. It's not wrong, it's just a bad feeling.
Aunt Jia saw that I didn't react to her bold words, so she turned around and took her complaint materials out of a cabinet drawer. I saw that she had brought out about a dozen pages of printer paper, and I peeked at the drawer where there was a lot of paper like this.
"You don't have to give me this yet, I'll look for you when I want to leave." I quickly stopped Aunt Jia.
After leaving Uncle Quanbao's house, I came to the mountain forest where I had come in the morning. I didn't see the shepherd, maybe he was driving the sheep somewhere else.
Out of boredom, I smoked alone. When I didn't smoke before, I was always curious to watch others smoke, and at that time I secretly smoked a few times, and then I rarely smoked when I was alone. Today, for some reason, I unknowingly lit a cigarette and smoked it.
I wandered aimlessly through the woods, not thinking much of what to do with herbs. When I looked up again, I was blocked by a huge rock.
Isn't that the stone that stands in the way that leads to the poplar forest? Back then, my sister Li Hongyan and I peeked at Shi Xiucui and her boyfriend Guo Degui here! I involuntarily crossed the stone and walked towards the place where Shi Xiucui had been. I sat down there and before I knew it, I smoked another cigarette.
Watching a wisp of green smoke slowly rise from my fingertips, my heart slowly floated with it. Suddenly I noticed something moving before my eyes, and I immediately came to my senses, and found that there was a hare grazing not far away. I thought it was time for me to put my skills to work, so I picked up a stone from my side and slammed into my feet and threw it at the hare.
I didn't expect to hit it, maybe the rabbit was too greedy to dodge my chain attacks. When I went to look at the poor fellow, I saw that he could stretch his legs and twitch twice. When I returned to Uncle Quanbao's house with its ears, I found that the poor rabbit was out of breath.
Uncle Quan Bao was also very excited when he saw me come back with a hare.
"Dunzi, this rabbit is very good, how did I catch it?" Uncle Quan Bao asked me.
"When I saw it grazing there, I threw a stone at it, and I didn't expect to hit it! Maybe it's luck! I said it truthfully.
"Of course there is luck, and it shows that you can do whatever you want."
Aunt Jia's words made me feel a little awkward, if I couldn't help her, her husband would stay in prison and couldn't get out, didn't I want to help her.
Anyway, the rabbit meat at night was still very fragrant, and I thought of sending a rabbit leg to Shi Xiucui, but I just thought about it. Uncle Quan Bao's thoughts may be the same as mine, because he asked me when he was eating rabbit meat if he was carrying water for Shi Xiucui. Maybe he didn't plan to send rabbit legs to Shi Xiucui at that time, but at least we thought of the same person at the same time. I even saw a hint of ridicule on the corner of Aunt Jia's mouth, and at that time I had a hunch that Uncle Quanbao's woman would not last long.
………………
I didn't stay at Uncle Quanbao's house at night, but went back to my own house. On the way back, I deliberately glanced in the direction of Shi Xiucui's house, but I didn't see the lights in the house.
By the light of the moon, I had simply tidied up the yard and prepared to have a place to dry the herbs tomorrow when I found them from the mountains. After tossing for a while, I felt a little tired, so I simply washed it and went back to the house to lie on the kang.
Recalling today's experience, first helped Shi Xiucui get the money, and then promised Aunt Jia to hand over the materials to her, and then caught a rabbit by herself, it seems that this day is still full of excitement.
"Brother Dunzi, you've gone to my house for dinner!"
The dog leftover woke me up, and I quickly put on my clothes and followed him to Uncle Quanbao's house.
"Your uncle sent the food, we all had breakfast, you can eat it yourself. The dog is at home with you, and I'm going to pick some cucumbers in the field. Aunt Jia smiled, and I lowered my head and ate.
When I was eating, I saw that the dog had no intention of leaving. Thinking about why this kid is so well-behaved today, could it be that Aunt Jia said something to him again. Whatever you say, don't kneel for me this time, I can't afford it. When I saw that Gou Yu'er's eyes were always swirling on the two bags of things that Li Hongyan brought me, I knew where his intentions were. After seeing the dog leftover happily with two bags of snacks, I suddenly felt a little sad.
In the morning, I wasted a lot of effort to get some grasses that seemed to be useful, and first sorted them into different varieties. After lunch at Uncle Quanbao's house at noon, I started to prepare to go out again, and I thought that in another afternoon, I would be able to find all the herbs that were not too much. After the meal, I didn't find the dog leftovers with me, and I saw that the two bags of things seemed to have been touched. Alas! It's better to see through it and not say it.
I have something to do, and my pace seems to be quicker.
"Dunzi, you wait for me."
When I looked back, it turned out to be Shi Xiucui.
"What's the matter, Aunt Xiucui? I'm still in a hurry to go to the mountains to find some medicinal herbs. ”
"Didn't you say you were going to take me to the mountains to find medicinal herbs? How did it change? "Shi Xiucui should be waiting for me. I saw that she was carrying a backpack and a small shovel in her hand, and she looked prepared.
"Auntie, you really don't have to go up the mountain with me. The things I was looking for weren't worth anything at all. ”
"Then you don't mean to take me there! I don't have to ask you to take me to find any herbs, it's just that I'm going to leave here with your sister Guo Shuiling.
I don't like it here, but I miss it a little when I think about leaving. I just want you to lead me around the mountains, I've been here for three or four years, and I haven't really gone up to see them. ”
Shi Xiucui not only said it sadly, but also showed a trace of sadness.
"I didn't mean that, I didn't mean it. I'm just afraid you're tired. Seeing Shi Xiucui's tears about to burst out of my eyes, I explained in a panic.
"It's okay, if you don't take me there, I'll walk around the neighborhood by myself." Shi Xiucui sobbed.
"I, I didn't say I wouldn't take you there, didn't I say I would take you there, don't you cry, okay!"
Seeing Shi Xiucui's pear blossoms with rain, I hurriedly persuaded her. And so we are on our way. I silently led the way in front, looking back from time to time to see if Shi Xiucui was still following behind.
"It's so beautiful, it's my first time here!"
When Shi Xiucui and I climbed a small hill and stopped to rest, Shi Xiucui looked at the distant mountains and the farmhouse in full view, and let out a sigh of emotion!
"You've been here before! How can you say the first time! I saw Shi Xiucui open her mouth, so I replied to her without distracting heart.
"Hahaha, your fox tail is finally revealed, did you peek back then, peeked at me and ,,,"
"I didn't mean to, I just passed by there, and you happen to be there too!" I panicked as I explained.
"Actually, I also noticed someone at that time, but at that time, my boyfriend ,,, we were going to return the same way, just to avoid meeting you, so we chose another way, which also made me take a lot of wrong roads!" Shi Xiucui spoke with a little anger and looked beautiful.
"I was still young at the time, I was curious about everything, I really didn't mean to, I accompanied Sister Hongyan up the mountain to catch butterflies, dragonflies and grasshoppers and other insects that day, who would have thought that I could meet you." The more I explained, the more I felt a little empty.
"I just watched it, did I blame you, everyone is curious! How can you grow up without experiencing it, don't you say? ”
"Mmmm, maybe, I don't know much about what you're saying, but I think maybe it's right!" Since they asked, I had no choice but to answer stubbornly.
"Dunzi, why don't you go to live abroad with your mother, but you are willing to stay in this shitty place?" Shi Xiucui's mood improved at this time, and in this way, there were more words.
"My dad and my mom are not together, if I go to live with my mom, I have to look at my stepdad's face every day, how boring! It's not as good as it is now, no one can rely on me, and my life is quite good. ”
"What about your source of livelihood, I mean, how can you live without money?" Shi Xiucui couldn't convince me, so she asked a question she cared about.
"My parents will send me living expenses, and that little teacher Zhang and my senior sister Li Hongyan will also give me money! My mother used to have a stall in the county farmers' hall, which was supposed to be given to Zhang Changzhi, but Zhang Changzhi said that he rented it from my mother, and gave me rent on a monthly basis. ”
"I want to go see that poplar forest, you can take me!"
Shi Xiucui was obviously not interested in what I said, so we got up and continued to walk into the mountains.
