Chapter 9: The Shack
Pei He's eyes widened, pointing at Su Qiqiao, his face was shocked, "You, how do you know!"
Not only Pei He, but also the two younger brothers next to him, as well as Xiaolian beside Su Qiqiao, also looked confused, and they all turned their heads to look at her.
Su Qiqiao secretly rejoiced in his heart, looked directly at Pei He, and looked indifferent, "It's not important, the important thing is that if you stalk us like this again, I'll go tell Mrs. Wang now." ”
"You dare!" Pei He was anxious in an instant, and roared in a low voice, "The surname is Su, let me tell you, if my copper plate is missing, Lao Tzu will fight with you!"
Throwing down this cruel sentence, Pei He hurriedly ran away without looking back, probably to check the copper plate, and by the way, transfer the secret base......
Seeing that Pei He had run away, the two little brothers were also startled, and they hurriedly pulled out their legs and ran, and in a few breaths, they had disappeared without a trace.
"It's okay." Su Qiqiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiaolian next to him.
"Huh? It's okay......" Xiaolian came back to her senses in hindsight, her face was slightly pale, and she quickly shook her head, "Thank you, Sister Qiqiao." ”
After that, Xiaolian gritted her teeth, as if she thought of something, her little hand moved, and she untied her purse, only to see eight large copper plates lying inside!
"Sss Su Qiqiao's face was shocked, she looked around, and quickly pulled her to a small corner to the side, and said in a low voice, "How did you get all this money?" ”
Most of the little beggars didn't come back until the evening, and they only got two or three copper plates in a hard day, even if she was busy working for a morning, she only earned five copper plates, could it be that Xiaolian had some secrets that could not be said?
While Su Qiqiao was shocked, she stared at her suspiciously, and asked, "These are your savings?" ”
That's all she can think about now. After all, for a beggar, it is terrible to get eight copper plates in one morning. It's no wonder that Pei He and the others relentlessly want to grab it, after all, this is really a big temptation.
Xiaolian shook her head, "This is not my private money, it was given to me by a person named Grandma Wang, she asked me to help her buy a pair of medicines, this is the medicine money she gave me." ”
"Grandma Wang?" Su Qiqiao stopped, "Are you talking about the old grandmother with half-white hair, a lovely smile, and a lot of telling stories to children?" ”
"Yes, yes, Sister Qiqiao, it turns out that you also know Grandma Wang!" Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and nodded excitedly, "She is very good, she often tells me stories, and many times she asks me to help her buy medicine and vegetables, and she will give me some copper plates." ”
After that, I didn't understand Su Qiqiao's reaction, Xiaolian took out a copper plate, and the expression on her face changed several times before she reluctantly handed it to her, "Sister Qiqiao, this time thanks to you, otherwise I won't be able to keep the money for these medicines, I only need seven copper plates to buy medicine, this one is extra, you can take it." ”
“…… That's right. Su Qiqiao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and was about to take it, shaking his head, "No need, I'm just helping you, I can't get used to them playing scoundrels, I didn't think about asking for compensation, this is what you deserve." ”
A copper plate is indeed impossible to ignore for her, but she can also see that Xiaolian is really reluctant, even if her hand was scratched a few bruises and scratches just now, she did not let go, it can be seen that it is not easy for her.
When Xiaolian heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she quickly retracted her hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Qiqiao, you are so good, otherwise let's wait a while, I'm afraid that guy will come back." ”
"Yes." Su Qiqiao nodded and agreed, anyway, she had nothing to do now.
……
The scorching sun hung high in the air, constantly squeezing the moisture from passers-by.
Fuseido.
Xiaolian happily walked out with a medicine bag, turned her head and smiled at Su Qiqiao, "Oh, by the way, Grandma Wang lives in a shack in a neighboring village in the town, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
"No problem." Su Qiqiao smiled.
Grandma Wang's place of residence is considered to be the junction of the small mountain village and Qingshi Town, so there is also a distance from here, and the two walked for more than half an hour before they came to a poorly built shack.
I saw that the shack was made of wood, covered with a thick layer of thatch, sitting north and facing south, one side leaking wind, inside was a clay kang, and there was a small stove made of clay embryos, vegetable baskets and so on.
In front of the shack, there is a small vegetable garden surrounded by a fence, the vegetables in it grow brightly, and an old lady with a cat waist is holding a water ladle to water the vegetables.
"Grandma Wang." Xiaolian shouted and ran over angrily with the medicine bag.
"Haha, Xiaolian." Grandma Wang turned around, smiled lightly, and quickly noticed Su Qiqiao.
"Huh? You little girl, where do I seem to have seen it? Grandma Wang was stunned, straightened up and looked at Su Qiqiao, looking surprised.
"So you know me, too?" Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment and walked over, "The last time you told a story to those children, I was the little beggar who stayed aside. ”
"Oooh oh...... Hahaha, I said, I remembered!" Grandma Wang put up two fingers, her expression was in a trance, she suddenly patted her head, looked at Su Qiqiao, nodded and laughed.
"You sit down first, I'll help you water the vegetables." Su Qiqiao nodded, helped Grandma Wang to the small wooden stool next to her, rolled up her cuffs and began to water the ground.
On the other side, Xiaolian had already taken the medicine bag and decocted the medicine in a hurry.
"Little girl, how old are you?" Grandma Wang raised her face and smiled.
Su Qiqiao's hand stopped, turned around and smiled, "Grandma, my name is Su Qiqiao, Qiqiao of the Qiqiao Festival, and I am already fifteen years old." ”
"Beggy? It's a good name, who got it for you. Grandma Wang smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face widened, "The children I know, most of them are apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, big tigers, two cows or something, your little girl's name is very good." ”
"I think so." Su Qiqiao smiled, and the water scoop in his hand was raised, and a wave of water flew out suddenly, spilling on the vegetable leaves.
She was sold by her family to Mrs. Wang from the age of five, and at first she was not used to it, she had a high fever, forgot many things, and even forgot her name, and worked as a beggar for ten years.
Mrs. Wang told her that the day she was sent to the beggar's shelter was the Begging Festival, and she was sold by a family surnamed Su, so she was given a nice name, Su Qiqiao.
Such a good name, with a begging word, is indeed very consistent with her identity.
Su Qiqiao looked in a trance, although Xia Yuxi is the kind of person who has experienced ups and downs and has a bumpy life, but fortunately, she still knows who she is. And she doesn't know where she came from and where she is going.
The sun shone down on the horizon, and a golden light was reflected in her eyes, and a mist appeared.
