Chapter 11: Can't Hold On
It's not that elegance is a curse, but that rural people rarely eat and chew slowly.
The people she saw in the cafeteria, whether they were men, women, or children, were all gobbling up their meals and eating in large gulps.
On the other hand, the old lady swallowed a bite of bread, and then went to eat a mouthful of vegetables, and a small pot of vegetables was very gentle.
Even though she couldn't see clearly, she still didn't drip the soup or drop the crumbs.
You must know that the cake of bud rice noodles is very thick, and the dregs will fall off when you bite into it. The old lady pursed her mouth and ate little by little, it looked very troublesome, but it was quite fast.
"Xiaoxue, are you used to it at home?" She didn't let her wash the dishes after eating, but chattered.
Dong Shuxue sat opposite honestly and said, "It's okay, it's good, my family is good to me." ”
This is the truth, these children of the same age in the family are very kind to her, always thinking about her, chatting with her, for fear that she will not get used to it.
The old lady smiled and nodded, "That's good, the children in the family are not bad-hearted, but you have to be careful." Don't give people the things you bring back from the city, and you have money or something.
I heard Juanzi say that your third uncle came the night before, and you shouldn't have heard what he said. Our family doesn't lack a bite of food for you, so it's okay if you don't do anything. ”
Dong Shuxue didn't expect the old lady to tell her this, and she didn't let her give money to her family.
Before she could answer, the old lady continued: "You can keep as many things as you have and how much money you have, it is not easy without your parents, and you will not be afraid of losing confidence when you get married in the future." ”
The jump in this conversation was a bit big, and she didn't pick it up a little, so she talked about getting married.
"Grandma, I'm only sixteen years old, and I'm not in a hurry to get married." She pretended to be shy and didn't want to bring up the topic.
She had never been married in her previous life, but she had a partner. Marriage is quite new to her, and she is a little resistant.
"Sixteen is not young, I am fourteen years old." The old lady smiled and said, "But now it's not the same as before, and I'm not in a hurry." ”
She knew that Dong Shuxue didn't want to mention marriage, so she didn't say anything more.
Dong Shuxue didn't go out again in the afternoon, and the retirement life had to be carried out to the end.
Isn't it good to lie at home when it's okay?
She lives on the kang of Song Dashan's family, and the kang burns very warm every day.
Lying on the kang like this, it's okay to go shopping in Pinduoduo, how beautiful.
"Xiaoxue, go out and play!" The people talking outside ran all the way, shouting as they went.
Dong Shuxue watched Song Weijia enter the house, and sat up from the position of salted fish paralysis.
"Sister Jia, where are you going to play?" She had forgotten now that she was still an underage girl.
It's really not good to stay at home all day, and people look at it, maybe they think she's sick, right?
Why does Dong Shuxue think so? Because other people are about the same age as her, or even a little older than her, and they don't work at home, they just go out to play.
She's just such an otaku, right? Stay at home all day and don't go out.
"Go to the mountain behind, there is firewood over there, let's pick it up, you just follow along." Song Weijia said with a smile.
Let her play with her, and don't let her work?
Dong Shuxue quickly went to the ground and wore shoes, she couldn't do it if she didn't work, since she was asked to play, she had to do something.
"Who's going to go?" She followed Song Weijia and said as she walked all the way.
When I arrived at the place, there were already several children waiting here. Everyone looked at Dong Shuxue's clean clothes, and they couldn't help but start looking at her.
"Oh, Xiaoxue, why don't you change your clothes?" Song Weijia realized that this person was too cleanly dressed, and his clothes were not patched.
"You can't wear so well if you don't work, and there are so many branches on the road, and you can't scratch your clothes?" A little girl with a raw face said.
Dong Shuxue didn't know either, and this was her worst clothes, I thought there was no problem, but I was still told.
After all, he was lying on the kang every day, and the mud house was dusty, so he didn't get dressed.
Clothes that have not been patched like this are a good dress in the eyes of others.
She glanced at the others, including Song Weijia, whose clothes were covered with patches.
It is estimated that if such clothes are broken again, there will be no place to repair them.
"I don't have any other clothes to change into......"
The main thing is that she doesn't have too old clothes, she didn't say this, and she is easy to be besieged.
Song Weijia shook her head, "Next time I find you my clothes, we are about the same size." ”
Although she is older than Dong Shuxue, she doesn't eat as well as others, so this figure is very thin, the two of them are about the same size, and the clothes can be worn.
The others didn't bother anymore, and now they came out to collect firewood, not to chat.
Dong Shuxue felt very tired after walking for a long time, and said to Song Weijia on the side: "Sister Jia, when are we going home?" ”
Song Weijia glanced at her in surprise, "We just came out for half an hour, right?" ”
That being said, it was only twenty-five minutes later.
Dong Shuxue looked at the time on the control panel, and after only twenty-five minutes, she couldn't stand it anymore.
She has been climbing and walking, and the others have nothing to do to chat with the firewood, but she can only walk all the way, she doesn't pick up the firewood, and it is already very difficult to just walk.
Song Weijia saw that she was very difficult, so she sighed, "You must not be used to it, so let Xiaohua send you down the mountain back." ”
As she spoke, she greeted Xiaohua and asked her to send someone down the mountain.
Dong Shuxue watched the eight-year-old Xiaohua working, but she was still complaining in her heart about the hard work of climbing the mountain.
The main reason is that the life in the later life makes her not have this kind of patience at all, and she always feels very hard.
Will it be like this in the future? I heard that I don't even have food if I don't go to work.
At this time, she was very frustrated, yes, she finally returned to the countryside, and now she is still facing the pain of going to the field.
But she couldn't find a job in the city either, so that's all she could do.
When she walked to the foot of the mountain, Xiaohua pulled her clothes and said, "Sister Xue, you can go home along this road, I have to go back to help." ”
"Okay." Dong Shuxue nodded a little ashamedly.
No, if she continues like this, she won't let the old Song family dislike it? It may be nothing in the short term, but she has to farm in the spring, so she can't help but go to the field, right?
Thinking of this, Dong Shuxue really wanted to hit the wall.
But what can you do if you don't farm in this era? She doesn't have any money to go to school.
As far as those deposits were not enough in her eyes, she gave the old lady fifty yuan this time, mainly because she didn't want to live here for nothing.
The old lady didn't want it, but she was afraid that she wouldn't feel at ease here, so she accepted it first.
It cost fifty dollars, and she didn't think she could do anything with the rest of the money.
