Chapter 13: Falling Rocks
The men came back in the middle of the night. By the time the woman in the family learned what had happened, it was already the next morning.
Qin Liuya was making breakfast, and the rest of the people were in the hall, listening to a few men talk about last night's experience, even the children.
The second Ou Jin is a stuffy gourd, and it is definitely not possible to expect him to talk about it, mainly because the old man Ou and the boss are talking, and the second brother occasionally inserts a sentence or two to add.
In the gossip of the three people, everyone probably got together the original state of the matter.
Xiaohao's child was found on the back mountain, that is, the place where Ou Wan wanted to cut the pigweed.
I don't know what he was doing there, but when he got there, he rolled down two large rocks from the hill, blocking the road in both directions. Some broken stones fell and hit him, and the worst hit was his arm.
At first, he was frightened, and his body hurt, and he was so anxious that he cried and screamed, hoping that someone would hear and come to save him, but unfortunately he didn't wait for anyone until his voice was hoarse.
By the time he realized that the road was not working, it was already afternoon. He began to try to climb the back hill on his own, or climb over the rocks to get out.
Of course, the child's strength was still too weak, and when the adults found him, he didn't succeed.
"The child is also pitiful, the doctor said that his hand can only be cured if he goes to the town, and after such a long delay, he will definitely not be able to return to its original state."
Hearing this, Ou Wan's heart jumped, if it weren't for Tianniu who had to stop her, maybe she would be the one who was injured now.
She didn't know if Sweet Girl was intentional or unintentional, but it was indeed Sweet Girl who saved her from this disaster.
Ou Wan was even more determined to take good care of Tianniu in the future.
Ou Jin didn't tell anyone else, it was his daughter who asked him to go to the back mountain to have a look. Now it seems that this step was not wrong.
The evening girl didn't look over when she heard the voice, she couldn't say that there was anything wrong, she was afraid that the villagers would be angry, and she felt that this child was also responsible for Xiaohao's injuries.
It's just that kid...... It's still a pity in the end.
——
Mrs. Yao is nearly fifty years old, and there are already fine lines at the end of her eyes, she is dressed in indigo blue clothes, the cuffs are slightly wider than ordinary clothes, and her hair is still meticulously coiled into a bun.
She brought a cup of sugar water from the stove, put it on the table, and looked at the child sitting opposite who was eating happily, with a soft smile in her eyes.
"Grandma Yao's dim sum is delicious."
The sweet girl licked the corners of her mouth contentedly.
Mrs. Yao's cooking skills are not good, but the adults in the village are busy working, and there are few delicious home-cooked dishes, and no one will bother to study these time-consuming, laborious and filling pastries.
"Why did Sweet Girl come over today?"
"Does Grandma Yao know about Xiaohao?" The sweet girl looked a little tangled, and finally threw out a question.
This matter is not small, although Mrs. Yao has not had much contact with people, she already knows the general situation.
She happened to be idle, so she made a divination and found that in addition to him, another little girl from the Ou family was also going to be implicated.
Tianniu waited for a while, feeling that she didn't seem to have the intention of answering, and continued to herself, "Originally, my sister was going there too, but I thought something bad would happen in the past, so I stopped it." ”
The little girl quietly raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Yao's face, which was still the same expression as before, and she couldn't tell if she was angry.
She bit her lip, "I...... I don't know if I should do that. ”
Mrs. Yao likes this child very much, but she likes it, but she doesn't mean to teach her what she has learned.
People like them have broken or even interfered in the cause and effect of others, which one can escape the fate of five disadvantages and three shortcomings? Like herself, she is now so old, she has no husband and no children, and her parents and brothers are nowhere to be found.
Sweet girl is a good boy and doesn't deserve such a fate.
However, the so-called teaching by word and deed is imperceptible, and after getting along with children for a long time, they will always unconsciously bring out some of their own concepts.
Mrs. Yao has always felt that all kinds of things in the world have their own destiny, and they should not interfere with themselves. It is precisely for this reason that she has never only told fortunes but never changed her life.
No matter how to avoid Sweet Chick from touching these, she will also be more or less affected by this thought.
So when Sweet Niu intervenes in her cousin's fate for her hunch, she will feel uneasy in front of her, afraid that she will be angry.
Mrs. Yao did not speak.
She had never experienced what it was like to be a mother, and she didn't know how to guide and educate a child. Can she just tell Tianniu, your idea is wrong, you have to think and do the same thing like me?
Everyone's ideas and pursuits are different, her concept and her lifestyle are the same, that is the most suitable for her, but it does not mean that it can also be suitable for sweet girls.
Even if Sweet Chick is now just a little over three years old, when she has the ability to think for herself, she should be qualified to decide her own thoughts, her own ideas, instead of being forced to accept what adults stuff her. What adults say sometimes contradicts each other, even contradicts themselves.
But you can't stay silent. Children are vulnerable, and silence can make them feel that they have done something wrong.
"Sweet girl, you can do whatever you want."
Mrs. Yao stared into her eyes and communicated with her as an equal.
"But before you make a decision, you have to think about the consequences of this decision, and you have to bear the consequences yourself."
"You are responsible for your own decisions."
Sweet chick blinked, a little confused.
When adults talk to her, they use more coaxing attitudes. When talking to children, you don't need to talk about the reason, you don't have to reason, just let them do it obediently, anyway, children are not sensible.
Even when her mother talks to her, it's the same. It's just that she'll crouch down, look at her at the same level, speak softly, and then tell her, 'Is it right to do this?'
In essence, it's all the same, the adults come up with the plan, and the children only need to be responsible for doing it.
But Grandma Yao made her discover a completely different way.
She can come up with a solution to the problem herself, as long as she can think of the outcome of doing so and accept the outcome.
Sweet Girl seems to understand a little, and there seems to be more things that she hasn't figured out. But if she really wants to say what she doesn't understand, she can't say.
But she hasn't grown up yet, and what she doesn't understand now will be able to understand when she grows up.
She diligently jotted down the last sentence, taking responsibility for her decision, and nodded earnestly.
"Grandma Yao didn't fully understand what Sweet Girl said, but Sweet Girl will work hard to grow up, and she will definitely be able to understand it when she grows up."
Mrs. Yao's face showed a long-lost smile.
(Sweet girls are still children, and children's understanding of adults' words is a little biased.) )
