Chapter 59: I'll Go with You
The villagers said this in a weird way, and some people were really worried about Amy and Mrs. Wang, so they persuaded them patiently.
Zhou Yize often has to do ideological work for everyone in the village, so he is very clear about the situation of every household in the village.
Even he walked up to Amy and whispered, "I know it's not appropriate for you to live with Datou, but the situation in Grandma Wang's house is really too bad, there is no labor, only her and her little granddaughter." ”
"Not only did you not have anything to eat in the past, but you also had to find a way to get wild vegetables for her and her granddaughter to eat."
"So you better go with the big head, so many villagers in the village are watching, he doesn't dare to do bad things."
Now they are educated young people with the big task of clearing wasteland, and clearing wasteland is a very laborious work.
If Amy can't eat enough, she will definitely not have the strength to work, and when the time comes, she will not be able to get her work if she does not complete the task of clearing the wasteland, and she will continue to be hungry even if she survives until the time of the food distribution.
And at that time, the educated youths will definitely have to go back to the educated youth point to live, and they can't always follow the villagers to eat and live, and her situation will only be worse than now.
Amy knew that Zhou Yize's plan was right, but he didn't know that she wasn't afraid of running out of food.
So she only shook her head slightly.
"Grandma Wang can stand up at this time, it is for my good, if I refuse her at this time, she will definitely be sad."
Zhou Yize had to persuade again, but Yan Xiaoxi, who was already angry and red-eyed, spoke: "Xiaomi, it's not too early for you to see the sky, why don't you decide where to go first, the villagers still have to go home to cook." ”
Although she felt very uncomfortable because Zhou Yize and Amy whispered, she was happy when she thought of Datou and Mrs. Wang.
If Amy chooses the big head, there will be gossip in Gai Ming'er Village immediately, and then Amy can only marry the big head like Chaoxia, and there will be no one to rob Zhou Yize with her.
It would be better if Amy chose Mrs. Wang, let her try to be hungry and blow the cold wind, and when the time comes, she will not have the strength to open up the wasteland and complete the task, Zhou Yize will definitely look down on her and never talk to her again.
Liu Jianfang, Chaoxia and Yan Xiaoxi in the crowd had an idea, their faces were gloating with uncontrollable schadenfreude, and they urged Amy to quickly decide which house to go to.
Amy coldly glanced at the few people who were malicious to her, and then stood beside Mrs. Wang without hesitation, and said loudly, "I'll go with Grandma Wang." ”
Zhou Yize's eyes tightened, and Zhang Hui couldn't help but scold: "Xiaomi, was your brain kicked by a donkey?" Think about it again, don't just choose just because you're angry. ”
She has been getting closer to Amy recently, and although she has other thoughts, she has a little bit of friendship, and of course she doesn't want to watch her suffer.
Amy smiled at her and said firmly, "I'm not angry, I'm really willing to live with Grandma Wang." Grandma Wang is old, Niuniu is still young, and I can still help take care of them when I live there. ”
Niuniu is the granddaughter of Mrs. Wang, who is not yet ten years old this year.
"Xiaomi, you may not know the situation of their family, Mrs. Wang's house is not enough to eat, aren't you going to make trouble for their family at this time? I think you'd better go home with me. ”
The big head said seriously, but in exchange for a blank eye from the princess.
"What's the point of a little girl living in your male doll's house innocently? I only have me and my granddaughter at home, and she is suitable to come and live. ”
After speaking, Mrs. Wang took Amy's hand and said, "Xiaomi, don't be afraid, I have a bite to eat, and I can't starve you." ”
Mrs. Wang was already very old, and the skin on the back of her hand was cracked, like pine bark, and her thin hand was pinching Amy's wrist, which hurt a little.
But Amy felt that it was the warmest pair of hands she had ever met.
She nodded vigorously and replied sincerely: "Grandma, don't worry, you will be my own grandmother in the future, and I will never let you and Niuniu go hungry." ”
"Poof, when are you still in the mood to talk nonsense, now that you are talking so nicely, don't wait for two days to be hungry and hungry, and come back and beg the big head to take you in."
Although Chaoxia was beaten by the family just now, and now her face is still swollen and tall, she is happy as long as she sees Amy being offended.
Before Amy could speak, Mrs. Wang raised the stick in her hand to use as a crutch and swung it twice at Chaoxia.
"Da Zhu take care of your daughter-in-law, my wife is not dead yet, Xiaomi is my granddaughter now, who dares to say that these are just not getting along with me!"
Mrs. Wang's family is poor now, but she was also brilliant in the early years, and because she is older, the people in the village respect her and dare not talk nonsense.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Dazhu slapped Chaoxia again, slapping the other half of her face.
"You loser girl can't speak, just hold back and be dumb, find trouble for me all day long, believe it or not, I'll beat you to death."
The big pillar made such a fuss, Yan Zhishu was upset when he saw it, and simply waved his hand to let everyone disperse.
Behind him, the big head still wanted to chase after him, but was secretly pulled by Liu Jianfang.
"At this time, I went to grab you and didn't have a face, Chaoxia is right, Mrs. Wang's family is poor and has no food, she will come back in a few days and beg you to take her in, and then you can still overpower her, maybe she will become your daughter-in-law before the time for threshing."
Liu Jianfang's words were grinned when he heard them, and he stopped fooling around.
So far, all the educated youth have found a place to go, but this matter is not over.
Those who are willing to take in educated youths are already in a decent situation, at least they don't have to worry about having nothing to eat.
But Amy went to a place where others needed relief, which made the educated youth and the people in the village use it as a joke, and waited to see Amy's jokes.
The educated youths had to go back to the educated youth point to pack up their things, Zhou Yize looked at Amy worriedly and wanted to come up and say a few words to her, but was called away by Yan Xiaoxi.
Amy didn't bother to get involved with them at this time, and there was nothing to clean up, so she helped the princess back to her home in the east of the village first.
Wang's house is also an adobe house, but it is twice as large as the house in Zhiqingdian, with two sleeping rooms and a separate kitchen.
Yan Zhishu's house is some distance from here, and Mrs. Wang stopped and stopped along the way, and when she got home, she was still a little out of breath.
Amy hurriedly brought a bench to help her sit down, and originally wanted to pour her some hot water to drink, but found that there was no cold water in the jar of water.
"Xiaomi, my family conditions are not good, will you blame me for having to pull you to suffer with me?"
Mrs. Wang has lived for such a long time, and although she has never studied, she knows a lot of things.
She wanted to make her words clear, so as not to complain when she came to help others.
Amy walked over to Mrs. Wang and squatted down, holding the old man's thin hand vigorously.
"Grandma, I said when I came just now, you will be my grandmother in the future, where do you think your own grandmother is not good? Besides, if my grandmother doesn't come forward, I might be ...... by the big head."
She didn't finish her words, but Mrs. Wang understood the meaning and nodded immediately.
The family situation is not good, and Mrs. Wang is not the kind of person who has to slap a swollen face and become fat, but she has lived most of her life in this village, and she knows too well what virtue a big head is.
Amy was so beautiful that she stood there and looked distressing, and she couldn't help but think of her granddaughter, so she finally stood up.
But she has experienced too many things at her age, and it is not entirely because she is distressed to bring Amy back today, after all, one more person means one more mouth, and she wants to eat.
Amy is not stupid, she knows that pie will not fall from the sky, but she understands that Mrs. Wang's intentions are good, so she doesn't care about this little calculation, but takes the initiative to show her closeness.
At this time, she also took a step forward before Mrs. Wang spoke: "Grandma, Niuniu should have gone to school a long time ago at her age, but now she is busy in the field, and she is also working in the field, so she doesn't have time to go to class." ”
"Anyway, I live here now, how about teaching Niuniu to read every day when I'm not busy?"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face bloomed with laughter, and she grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, you are really a good one." I haven't studied, and I don't understand those big truths, but my son told me before that people must have knowledge, and they must be able to read and write before they can have great success. ”
"Even if you don't say it, grandma will show this old face and beg you to teach Niuniu to write."
"Grandma, what are you talking about, what do you ask for or not, you helped me, we are a family, Niuniu is my own sister, isn't it right for my sister to help my sister?"
Amy was originally a sweet-mouthed person, but she was not willing to say this to those educated youths who were in front of her and behind her back, so she didn't show it.
And Mrs. Wang really thanked her in her heart, and after resting for a while, she got up and went to the house to pick up a quilt that had been washed white.
"Niuniu is sleeping with me now, so the house over there hasn't been cleaned up much, you pick up the house yourself first, and I'll borrow some food and come back."
The rice in Mrs. Wang's house was originally Yan Zhishu saw that her family was in a special situation, so he specially divided a little.
She doesn't have a big appetite and eats less, and Niuniu's child is sensible, although she can't eat enough, she won't make a fuss about eating this and that, so the coarse grains she shared were originally enough to last until the next ration.
But now that Amy is here, and she has to teach Niuniu to learn to write, it is impossible for Mrs. Wang to make her hungry.
Amy originally wanted to stop Mrs. Wang, but she thought that there were only fine grains in the supermarket now, but she couldn't take them out at all, so she didn't say anything for the time being, but turned around and cleaned up the room.
She put the firewood in the kitchen that the old man couldn't move into the corner, and took a broom to clean the house up and down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she cleaned up the house, she heard a rush of footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, Niuniu's crying voice came in.
"Sister Xiaomi, Sister Xiaomi, where are you, come out quickly, my grandma has an accident!"
