It was getting dark, and the people of Mao'er Village took up their hoes and went home.

Amy also returned to the east end of the village, and as soon as she entered the door, she realized that something was wrong.

There was a smell of chicken soup in the house that she hadn't smelled in Mao'er Village for so long, and Mrs. Wang was not at home.

Not only that, but as soon as she came in, Niuniu immediately closed the door.

"Niuniu, hasn't your grandma come back yet?"

Niuniu sucked her saliva and shook her head vigorously, but her eyes were staring at the small wooden table for dinner and refused to move away.

"Grandma said that my sister taught me a lot of words, so I want to make food for my sister, and I was beaten by my grandmother if I wanted to eat."

Amy's heart warmed and she smiled softly.

"So where is Grandma now?"

Niuniu turned around and pointed to the door, "Grandma said that my sister can't eat enough every day, and she has to find food for us, so I went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables after work." ”

Amy knows that the princess has a good heart, but in this year, she only knows that she can't survive if she has a good heart.

So after knowing the plan in Mrs. Wang's heart, she spared no effort to teach Niuniu to read and write, and she was also extra energetic when she worked, and went to the mountains to find food to bring back every day when she had time.

It is precisely because of this that the little sorghum in Mrs. Wang's family can barely survive until now.

However, now that Amy listened to Niu Niu's words, she knew that Mrs. Wang was even better to her than she thought.

She looked at the room in front of her, where there was almost nothing, and smelled the smell of chicken soup in the air, and her heart was very moved.

Amy put down what she was holding and slowly crouched down.

"Niuniu, my sister knows that you like to eat eggs the most, and she also likes the big hen at home, will you be unhappy that grandma killed the chicken?"

Niuniu looked at her and thought for a while, and said, "My grandmother and I both like the chickens at home the most, but my grandmother said that you must know how to repay your kindness as a person." ”

"Sister Xiaomi, you are so good to me, teach me to read and give me delicious food, and my grandmother and I should also give you a lot of delicious food."

"It's just that I still have little strength now, and I can't earn a lot of work, and when I grow up and have strength, I will work hard, and then divide a lot of food so that my sister and grandma can eat enough every day."

Although Mao'er Village is the largest of the five villages of the Red Light Brigade, the conditions are not much better.

Niuniu has long passed the age of going to school, but because of the bad situation at home, she didn't even go to the literacy class in order to take care of Mrs. Wang, so she didn't know a word, and she was clumsier than other children Amy had seen.

She's actually a slow learner, but she's very willing to put in the effort.

Mrs. Wang told her that she could be productive in reading and reading, so she tried her best to memorize it, twice if she didn't work once, and three times if she couldn't do it twice, until she remembered it.

Even when she was working with Mrs. Wang in the field every day, she often recited the stories Amy told her, over and over again, and the melons were ripe.

And when the others were tired and stopped to drink water and rest, she squatted alone in the corner and scratched on the ground with stones.

Amy heard Zhang Hui talk about all of this.

Because of this, she is more attentive when she teaches Niuniu.

Now, Niu Niu can write many simple numbers, and even memorize all the addition tables.

Although it didn't sound like a big deal, before Amy came, she hadn't read a book for a day, and she didn't even know one, two, three.

And now, Amy has only been here for a few days.

Therefore, now that she heard Niuniu say these words, she suddenly made up her mind in her heart.

Even if it may take a lot of effort to find an excuse to cover it up, she must feed the family, and she must quickly find an opportunity to follow the villagers into the city to pour out the coarse grain that can be taken out.

Amy used to be very afraid of trouble, she just wanted to live her life well.

However, now her mind has changed, and she wants to make life a little more comfortable for people who are good to her.

Thinking about it, Amy's whole spirit became different from before, and she said to Niuniu: "Grandma is old, it will definitely be very tiring to go up the mountain, let's go to pick up grandma home together, okay?" ”

Niuniu happily threw herself into her arms and nodded, but before she could stand up, she was pulled by the corner of her clothes again.

"No, no, grandma said before leaving, let me keep it, lest the meat be stolen and eaten."

Now there are not many people who raise chickens in the village, because raising chickens also costs food and vegetables, so eggs can only be eaten by some family members, not to mention fragrant chicken.

Amy had seen another family in the village kill chickens before, and it was so big that the whole village went to see it, and everyone was envious.

The chicken will be killed because it has less to eat, so it doesn't lay eggs much, and if it is raised, the second chicken will become thinner if there is no food, so it will simply grit its teeth and kill it.

Just such a chicken, their family of eight ate it for three whole days.

Not because I don't like it, but because I can't help it.

The aunt put the chicken in a tank of cold water, and everyone scooped a little chicken soup and chicken every day, and the family ate happily.

And Mrs. Wang was originally rare in the family, and after killing it, of course, she was afraid that someone would steal it, so she told Niuniu to guard it at home and not allow others to move.

Amy understood when she heard this, so she said, "Well, I'll pick up grandma first, how are you looking at home?" ”

Niuniu nodded vigorously in agreement.

Amy was about to leave when she suddenly remembered the sound of messy footsteps outside the house.

"Thief, get out!"

"Mrs. Wang's family is so bitter that she has to give you a bite to eat, but I didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf, come out quickly!"

Amy was shocked, thinking that something had happened to the princess on the mountain, so she quickly opened the door to see.

As soon as I saw the door, the aroma of chicken that was stuffed in the house immediately rushed out.

Chaoxia, who took the lead, inhaled hard, and a smug light flashed in her eyes.

"Everyone, take a look, it's really her who stole the chicken, and she dared to eat at someone's house when she went up the mountain to find food on the princess!"

"Stinky and shameless!"

"Mrs. Wang felt most sorry for this big hen, so I said that I didn't call today, it turned out that I was stolen and eaten by you, a thief."

"Yan Zhishu, Mrs. Wang's family conditions are so poor, she still steals other people's things, you must let her give an explanation."

The village party secretary who was invited by the villagers on the side looked at Amy with a gloomy face.

On weekdays, his attitude towards the educated youth is quite good, but stealing things, and stealing things from Mrs. Wang's house, this matter is too serious.

Moreover, the villagers and other educated youths in the village are watching, if he doesn't kill this stealing habit, the Mao'er Village will not be chaotic in the future?

Therefore, the village party secretary took two steps towards Amy and said unceremoniously: "Comrade Amy, please tell the villagers what is going on?" ”

As he spoke, Niuniu heard the sound and curiously tilted her head out to look.

Liu Jianfang's eyes flashed, and she gave Chaoxia a look, and Chaoxia immediately went over and pulled Niuniu to her side.

"She even dared to steal Mrs. Wang's chicken, who knows if she did anything more unsightly, I will take Niuniu to her grandmother first."

After saying that, regardless of whether Niuniu wanted it or not, she hugged the child and walked to the other side.

Amy was afraid that Niuniu would have something to do and wanted to chase her, but she was surrounded by the villagers.

"Stole something and want to run?"

"I have to make it clear what the hell is going on today!"

"Mrs. Wang is so good to you, a lot of old people are pulling down their old faces and borrowing food from the village just to give you food, how can you do such a thing, is your conscience eaten by dogs?"

"The chicken is still on the table, and the people are there, let's send her to the village, if this kind of thief continues to stay in our village, we won't dare to sleep at night in the future."

"That's right, Zhishu, she will definitely steal things in the future, and we can't let her stay in Mao'er Village anymore."

The big guys are afraid of losing things at home, so they don't even need Liu Jianfang to take the lead in making trouble again, they start to drive people out by themselves.

Zhou Yize couldn't stand it and wanted to stand up, Yan Xiaoxi immediately grabbed him and said, "Don't go out, the villagers won't listen to what you say now, maybe it will make them think that other educated youths know about it, and it will be troublesome then." ”

"Amy isn't that kind of person."

Zhou Yize said firmly, broke away from the hand she was holding and stood up.

"Folks, don't get excited, Comrade Amy and I are fellow countrymen, I know that she will never do such a thing, maybe this chicken was killed by Grandma Wang for Amy to eat."

Liu Jianfang saw that he had spoken, his face changed, and he did not immediately open his mouth to refute.

But the rest of the people in the village were not happy, especially when Amy gave her a faceless head in front of so many people.

"Who in the village doesn't know how rare this big hen is, before the dog was playing and accidentally smashed the chicken with a stone, she drove most of the village, and was beaten severely, how could she kill the chicken for an outsider?"

The dog knew this best, and immediately stood up and said, "No, it is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Wang to kill the chicken." ”

The village party secretary glanced at the villagers, and finally set his eyes on Zhou Yize.

"I know you're fellow countrymen, so I want to help her speak, but you can't just open your eyes and talk nonsense just because you're fellow countrymen, right?"

Because of Yan Xiaoxi, the village party secretary has always valued Zhou Yize, and he has never said anything too serious, and he has given him enough face in front of people.

However, stealing things is a big crime in these days, and it is a big thing to be taken away for questioning.

So, he said the above.

Zhou Yize actually didn't know what was going on, but he just believed in his heart that Amy wouldn't steal, and he couldn't say why at this time, so he could only look at Amy.

"Xiaomi, you say something, you can't steal chickens, right?"

Amy had been watching the villagers perform faintly until then.

Since she's been here, she's seen a lot of all sorts of ridiculous things, and at first she was shocked, but now she's used to it.

In the face of everyone's scolding, she just said calmly at this time: "I didn't kill the chicken." ”

"Phew, didn't you kill it, did it jump into the pot and cook itself?"
