Chapter 6: Fate

The rain stopped in the middle of the night.

The flower bones on the apricot tree also bloomed a few, and the petals and stamens were dotted with a few raindrops, and the morning light shone slightly, which was very charming.

Breakfast was the leftover wild vegetable dumplings from last night, and Ah Zhi ate a few bites at random, and then repeated the daily cooking of 'Ah Zhi'.

As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard wall, she saw the old lady carrying a bamboo basket and taking a sickle out of the house with her.

"Grandma, you ......" Ah Zhi was really surprised.

The old lady's vicissitudes of life faintly showed an uncomfortable smile on her cheeks: "Let's go, take advantage of the lack of rain today, and plant the seeds."

The old lady not only blamed her for not planting the seeds yesterday, but also went out with her, which was a little weird, and Ah Zhi couldn't help but pay more attention.

The weeds and dead roots in the field were cleared yesterday, so dig a small trough to put the seeds down, and then spread a thin layer of soil.

The cloth shoes under his feet were pampered by the thick soil, Ah Zhi kicked hard, a large piece of mud fell, and his feet were finally a lot easier.

At this time, the old lady handed over a water bladder: "Ah Zhi, drink some water."

Ah Zhi was a little flattered, and if he wanted to change the past, where would he have this treatment.

"Grandma, you drink first." Ah Zhi pushed.

"Grandma has drunk it," said the old lady, still smiling brightly.

Ah Zhi couldn't refuse again, so he took it and took a sip.

Looking at the smile emanating from the old lady's heart, Ah Zhi's heart became a little heavier, this old lady would not be ......

After Ah Zhi drank the water, his eyes focused on the place where 'Ah Zhi' fainted yesterday and where the seed had been planted today.

Ah Zhi was full of emotion, and muttered in his heart: Fate makes people, I'm here, you're gone. I don't know where you will go, will you be like me, living in someone else's body and starting a new life? Or maybe this was my body and I came back. You're gone, back to your old body?

Ah Zhi shook his head, didn't think about it, and turned around with his hoe.

The old lady smiled lightly, the anger in the past, and the kindness of the eyebrows and eyes now, made the new Ah Zhi a little confused.

"Ah Zhi, let's go home," the old lady was already carrying a bamboo basket, and in the bamboo basket were the wild vegetables she had dug up by the edge of the field.

"Yes, grandma," Ah Zhi walked behind her, and saw a hunched over little old lady with gray hair.

It's just a fifty-year-old man, and in this world that relies on the loess to survive, he is already a seventy-year-old appearance!

After walking through the fields like sheep's intestines, and came to a slightly spacious path, the old lady was a little tired, so she sat on a piece of bluestone to rest, accompanied by a little rapid breathing.

Ah Zhi stood up the hoe, his chin lightly rested on the hoe, and lowered his eyes to look at his hands, which were dry, yellow and thin, like pickled pepper black claws, and there were countless calluses in his palms.

She frowned, her gaze moving away from her palm.

Under the golden sunshine, the dead trees all over the mountains are spring, thousands of trees spit out buds, swarms of bees fly, and colorful butterflies welcome the wind.

One after another green wheat field, there are a few children about five or six years old in the wheat field are putting paper kites, paper kites are flying in the air, catering to the wind, and the paper kites on the top look beautiful!

Just looking at it from a distance, the clothes on the child's body are very gorgeous, and he hears the crisp and loud children's voice. Even though his body was stained with mud, he still smiled so happily.

and a luxurious carriage parked on the side of the road, a low table, and two low stools, each sitting a husband and wife.

It can be seen that the husband and wife raise their eyebrows and respect each other like guests.

The old lady seemed to see something on the side, and smiled on her face: "When I get home later, I'll give you a paste." ”

Ah Zhi looked back at her and shook his head: "Grandma, I'm just looking, not to mention that paper is very expensive." ”

The old lady still kept smiling: "Don't worry, there will be a long time for this paper kite." ”

If the old lady in the past was stingy, Ah Zhi still barely accepted it, after all, nothing has changed, but now, she has become generous, and the smile on her face continues, is she also reborn?

Ah Zhi had to confirm that she could make such a huge change in a person, and she couldn't think of a second reason.

"Grandma," seeing that the old lady had already gotten up and left, Ah Zhi picked up her hoe and trotted to catch up, "You go slower." ”

Along a path, the grandfather and grandson walked slowly, the burning heat above their heads became heavier, and their scalps became hot.

Ah Zhi saw that the old lady was silent, very silent, suspicious, and cautiously called her: "Grandma, are you okay?" ”

"All right," said the old lady, smiling as brightly as a blooming apricot blossom, "Hey, Ah Zhi, do you want to eat fish?" ”

The old lady pointed to the lake, where there were a group of rich children fishing, some of them were just fishing, and after catching them, they put them back again.

"Grandma," Ah Zhi wanted to stop it, seeing her change, she reached out not to hit the smiling person, and she also smiled back, "Cheng." ”

The old lady smiled, and there was a little flash of light in her eyes as she smiled.

It turns out that repentance and self-reform are so happy, think about her before, hey! Don't mention it, the old lady sighed in her heart, and there was still a slight smile on her face.

The rich kid who fished had a good time, poured some of the lively ones back into the lake, and took the wilted ones with them.

As soon as they packed up their things and left, they saw an old man and a young man holding a bamboo basket on the big rock on the edge of the lake.

It's better to come early than to come at a good time.

A basket full of bamboos was fished, and there was no place to put wild vegetables, but a trace of uneasiness flashed in the old lady's eyes.

I saw her vicissitudes of life gently pressed on the belly of the fish, but every time she pressed it, the belly bulged.

Press one, belly bulge one, the old lady read the words and put them back in the lake, until the last two, big, flat belly, the old lady's face finally had some smiles, she looked up at Ah Zhi, "Ah Zhi, these two fish have no roe in their stomachs." ”

But at the same time, I also thought silently in my heart, I just want to prescribe meat for my child, she has not eaten meat for a long time, and she has lost weight.

"Okay, I'll get the basket."

Ah Zhi finally knew why she was doing this, she took the wet bamboo basket, picked up the wild vegetables on the stones, put the hoe on her shoulder, and pressed her chin against the hoe, she walked behind, looked at the hunched old lady, and suddenly overshadowed, raised her head to stop the tears from falling.

I don't know what happened to them, it's been a day, and there has been no rebound, she is still here, in this poor Zaozhuang.

Zaozhuang was still a rich Zaozhuang three years ago, a big flood, all the jujube trees drowned, no previous door, now, the door can be crowded.

Ah Zhi has experienced a strange resurrection of her soul, she is a person who does not believe in gods and ghosts, at this time, she silently said in her heart, I don't believe in gods or ghosts, but now, I believe it, can you return my relatives to me?

The old lady walked and walked, she didn't feel the sound of footsteps behind her, she looked back, and saw Ah Zhi standing there without moving, she gasped, patted her heart, and looked at what you had done before.

The old lady was sure that the child had not eaten meat for a long time, and now that he could eat meat quickly, he would be so aggrieved that he cried.

"Ah Zhi, grandma used to treat you badly," the old lady hurriedly stepped forward, looking at Ah Zhi with red eyes, and instantly became at a loss.
