Chapter 69: Here We Go Again
Mingke's words made Amy's face redden, and even though she understood that he was talking about food, her heart beat uncontrollably.
In a panic, she suddenly reached out to him and forcibly changed the subject.
"What do you see my hands are all grinding into? But it didn't take long for the spring ploughing to end, and I worked hard to only get out so much, and I definitely won't get the work at that time. ”
Mingke's gaze fell on the slender hands.
Amy's hands are actually very beautiful, with ten slender fingers that are white and red.
But because of the recent reclamation, blood blisters have been ground out of the palms.
The old blood blisters were not healed when they broke, and the new blood blisters were worn out again, so her hands looked scarred.
Mingke looked at the bruised places, and suddenly got up and ran towards the mountain.
Amy was left in place by a person like this, looking inexplicable.
"What, I brought you food and suddenly ignored people?"
She muttered, but she didn't rush back, but sat on the haystack and rested for a while with her eyes closed.
Such happy times are always short-lived, so Amy cherishes them extraordinarily.
At this moment, she didn't think about anything in her heart, only smelled the faint fragrance of grass, and bathed in the afterglow before sunset.
It's easy to get sleepy in this atmosphere, and Amy doesn't take long to get sleepy.
In a daze, she seemed to hear footsteps, and then someone grabbed her hand and put something cool in her palm.
Amy didn't know what it was, only that after touching that thing, the burning pain in her palm eased a lot.
At the side of the cowshed, Mingke looked at the sleeping Amy helplessly.
He just went out to find a medicinal herb, but he didn't expect that when he came back, he was already asleep.
"You're so bold, do you really think there are no bad people here?"
Mingke whispered, not waking her up, just sitting quietly beside her, while carefully observing her surroundings, in case she was bumped into by the villagers, which would not affect her well.
Under the sunset, Amy fell asleep on the haystack on her side, and Mingke guarded her like this, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
Amy opened her eyes again and was forcibly woken up by Mingke.
"You should go back, otherwise Grandma Wang will go up the mountain to find you."
Mingke's tone returned to his usual coldness, and there was still a hint of detachment on his face.
Amy had long been accustomed to his lukewarm attitude, and stretched out as if no one was around.
"It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably."
She stood up as she spoke, and before leaving, she pulled out a physics review book for him.
"Look at this, don't let anyone else find out, I only have one. Tell me when you're done, and I'll get you a new one. ”
Mingke glanced at the physics book and said stiffly: "I don't need it, what's the use of learning these now, no one cares anyway." ”
Amy put the book on his haystack, "Knowledge is power, and this saying is true at all times." ”
After speaking, she didn't continue to persuade her, turned around and went down the mountain.
Mingke stood still and stared at the book for a long time, and finally sat down and flipped it open.
He had been to school before, so he didn't understand it, but he just forgot some knowledge that he hadn't used for a long time.
For the first time that night, Mingke didn't sit boredly on the haystack and count the stars, but silently reviewed the content he read before dark in his heart.
At the bottom of the mountain, the people at the east end of the village had already fallen asleep, and he whispered to the air: "Have a good dream." ”
When she got to work the next day, Amy found that there was more ground turned over than she had left yesterday.
"It's not that I'm mistaken, but someone is really helping me clear the wasteland?"
Amy thought of Mingke for the first time, but then shook her head again.
"He's so awkward, how can he help me open up the wasteland, I must have thought too much."
As she spoke, she picked up the hoe and continued to work, but Zhou Yize suddenly walked over.
"There are some bad rumors in the village that the cloth and grain you bought for Grandma Wang were all earned by speculation."
He didn't have a problem if Amy wasn't real, because he believed she wouldn't do that.
However, since he promised Amy's eldest sister to help take care of her, he will do what he says.
"Speculation? Who said it, is there any evidence? ”
Amy was still a little flustered when she first heard Zhou Yize say this word, but then she thought that no one could find evidence at all, so she quickly calmed down and continued to dig the ground.
"I don't know who passed it on for the time being, but many villagers are saying it, and the village party secretary also knows about it."
Zhou Yize is now living in the village party secretary's house, so he got the news immediately.
Amy smiled and shook her head, "Speculation is a big crime, and the village party secretary will not let them continue to spread the word without evidence, otherwise it will be a trouble for people from other villages to hear it." ”
If she is really arrested, then the village party secretary will also have to be charged with poor management, and he will not let this happen.
Amy just subconsciously analyzed, but Zhou Yize looked at her in surprise.
"How do you know this?"
In his eyes, Amy is just a little girl who doesn't understand anything.
"Not only do I know this, but I also know that if you don't leave, Yan Xiaoxi will come to me again."
Amy felt a headache when she saw Yan Xiaoxi walking in the distance, she didn't think about robbing the male protagonist with the heroine at all, why did she always target her so much?
And she already felt that the person in Zhou Yize's heart was obviously her eldest sister, even if those things happened on the mountain, the relationship between him and Yan Xiaoxi did not completely develop according to the previous plot.
Although there are some overlaps, there are differences in the details.
Amy was thinking about it when Yan Xiaoxi approached.
"You came here to see why Xiaomi didn't say a word to me, so I came with you."
Yan Xiaoxi had a smile on her face that she was accustomed to on weekdays, and Amy felt sour when she saw it.
There's no way she's going to keep smiling like this all the time anyway.
"You're thinking too much, he didn't come to see me, he just happened to be passing by."
Amy wasn't going to get into trouble between the two of them, or there would be more trouble.
"I see, I'll just say it."
The smile on Yan Xiaoxi's face brightened a little, and then he called Zhou Yize away.
Amy shook her head as they looked at their backs as they left.
Her eldest sister is simple-minded, and she wants to reduce the burden on her family, if she really faces someone like Yan Xiaoxi, where is her opponent?
Amy shook her head and continued to work, and when she arrived in the village, she found that the atmosphere was not quite right.
There were many people in front of Mrs. Wang's door, and the village party secretary was also there.
Amy raised her hand and pressed her forehead, feeling a little headache.
She really just wants to teach Niu Niu in the field.
But since the matter has come, she has no way to avoid it, so she has to continue to move forward.
"Look, Amy is back."
"She still dares to come back, and she is not afraid of being arrested."
"Wasn't it a misunderstanding last time, maybe this time too, speculation is a big crime, don't talk nonsense, it will hurt people."
Because of the oolong incident of stealing chickens last time, some people in the village are not as excited as last time.
Amy pretended not to hear them and greeted the village party secretary with a smile.
"Secretary, why are you here, is there something going on in the village?"
Amy's respectful attitude made him very useful, and he took two puffs of cigarette and said, "The villagers heard that you bought cloth and grain for the princess, and they thought it was rare, so they came to see it." ”
"That's the case, our grain is all grown by ourselves, harvested and divided, and I haven't seen what the grain bought with food stamps looks like."
"Cut, I'm embarrassed to ask, the speculation is going to drag down the people in our village."
The villagers muttered, but Amy just didn't hear it, put down the hoe and wiped her sweat.
Aunt Li was standing beside the village party secretary at this time, holding the cloth she had given her before.
But because she had already started making clothes, it was not a whole piece, but a small piece of cloth in it.
Amy's sharp eyes found that it was not the worst-looking part of the whole cloth, because it was accidentally ground by the people of the supply and marketing cooperative, so it looked a little off the line and pilling.
She glanced at Aunt Li with a smile, knowing that this was her aunt thinking about her, so she deliberately took the worst point.
"Xiaomi, let me ask you, where did you buy this cloth?"
"The second supply and marketing cooperatives in the county are the small ones. That day, Aunt Li and I went to the city to buy brown sugar, and saw that the largest supply and marketing cooperative, which was too crowded and afraid that it would not be able to grab it, so I went to the other one. ”
"At that time, this cloth was not good because it was broken, so it was cheaper than usual, and my eldest sister gave some money during the Chinese New Year, and I could buy this cloth after buying food."
Amy is not afraid of being asked, because the cloth was originally bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I can testify that at that time, Xiaomi went to the small supply and marketing cooperatives to grab brown sugar for me. There is also this cloth, which is a little out of color, and some places where the line is broken, it must be a bad goods handled by the supply and marketing cooperative. ”
Aunt Li picked up the cloth in her hand and showed it to the village party secretary and everyone, and specially used her fingers to hold the loose piece of thread from below, so that you could see the fingers below.
"Who knows if it's true, what if she broke the cloth on purpose?"
"Yes, besides, who said that if the cloth is not good, it is not speculation? If she has cloth stamps and food stamps, why did she have to go with Mrs. Wang that day? ”
Amy laughed when she heard this, which she had really thought about a long time ago.
"Aunt Wang, everyone was here that day, someone should remember that I said that I could find something to eat, and I am willing to stay alone at the Zhiqing Point, right?"
"I think I said that, I remember."
"Yes, at that time, only the big head stood up and said that he wanted to take her back, and she was not happy to say so."
As soon as Amy mentioned it, someone remembered, and Aunt Wang glared at them fiercely with a calm face.
Among them, the timid one quickly shut up and stopped talking, but a hot-tempered aunt was working against her.
"You glared at me and saw it, what's the matter, no one is allowed to tell the truth, do you just want millet to be taken away, what kind of heart do you have?"
