Chapter 40 The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming
"Little sister, what's your name?" The white lotus lowered her head and looked at the little girl who was looking at her curiously.
"I don't have a name, everyone calls me Ah Mei. Sister, are you my sister-in-law? The little girl asked curiously.
"Well, yes, do you like me, then?"
"I don't like it." The little girl shook her head decisively.
"Why don't you like me?" The white lotus was a little depressed, did she offend her future sister-in-law before she entered the door.
"Because the dog said, when my brother marries his sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law has a doll, she will dislike me as a drag oil bottle, and she will sell me! So, I don't want a sister-in-law. ”
White Lotus: "...... Then if I tell you, I will always like you, even if I have a doll in the future, I will not sell you, I will always love you, do you like me? ”
"Well, you're good-looking, and I like you." The little girl nodded decisively.
White Lotus found that in fact, the little girl is still very similar to Du Feizhou's sister, and both brothers and sisters have the same straightforward temperament.
"Shall I give you a name? You can't keep screaming at your sister. I want to think about it, the peach is dying, its leaves are Zhenzhen, why don't you call it Zhenzhen? Do you like it? "The white lotus thought that she could read at home, and finally found a catchy name.
"Zhenzhen, what are you running from?" The little girl's eyes widened and she looked at the white lotus with curiosity.
The white lotus led the little girl into the yard, found a branch and wrote on the ground: "It is the peach that is dying, and its leaves are blooming." These two words are Zhen Zhen, do you think they sound good? The white lotus circled the word Zhenzhen.
The little girl's eyes lit up, "I have a name too, called Zhen Zhen?" Vera Du? ”
"Well, I'll call you Zhen Zhen from now on. Let's go, let's go home. The white lotus led Zhen Zhen into Du Feizhou's courtyard, which was not big, it was a simple four-room main house, two side rooms, and a stove room. There were only some simple furniture in the house, and even the clothes on Zhen Zhen's body were in tatters.
"Zhen Zhen, your brother is a general, why does he live so shabby?" The white lotus frowned, looking at all this in front of her, where is this the general's residence, it is not even as good as the residence of the villagers of Hulu Village.
"After my father and mother died, my brother handed me over to the care of my uncle and aunt, and they lived in my brother's yard, and my aunt said that I was a girl, and it was inconvenient to live with them, so I let me live here. They will only take me back when my brother comes back. Zhen Zhen rubbed the corners of her clothes, lowered her head and said sadly.
"How so! Doesn't your brother care? Doesn't he know that you're living like this? What do you usually eat? White Lotus felt that she wanted to curse, but years of cultivation told her that she shouldn't do it.
"My brother is away all the year round, and when he comes back once or twice a year, they occasionally give me some sweet potatoes to eat, and when they are finished, I will eat that." The little girl said and pointed to a small mound of dirt by the wall.
"You eat dirt?" The little girl nodded weakly, "Pick some thin ones, you can still eat them." ”
The white lotus looked at the black and thin little girl in front of her, she only felt that her eyes were sour and sour, she wanted to cry, how could there be such a vicious family, it was so hateful, she wanted to help get justice, but looking down at her little arms and legs, she couldn't beat it, she couldn't scold it, alas, she still waited for her general to come back.
The white lotus took out a silver bracelet that she had hidden in her arms, then took a deep look at it and said, "Zhenzhen, do you know where there is a pawnshop here?" ”
Zhen Zhen nodded and said, "On the street, Goudan once told me about the general location, but I can't read. ”
"It's okay, just know the general location." The white lotus led the little girl to find the pawnshop and took the silver bracelet, and then the white lotus led Du Zhenzhen to buy some daily rice noodles and the like, although she didn't know how to cook, but the porridge was still good. Let's learn the rest.
Looking at the little girl's tattered clothes, the white lotus gritted her teeth, bought half a piece of cloth with the remaining silver, and then took it home to make clothes for Du Zhenzhen.
In this way, the white lotus temporarily took root in the northwest, and she learned to do laundry and cook without touching the spring water, and then went to the embroidery workshop every day to receive some work to earn her and the little girl's living expenses.
Half a month later, a middle-aged couple came to this brand-new small courtyard, and then said to Du Zhenzhen with kind eyes: "Sister, let's go, go home with the eldest uncle, your brother is coming back." ”
Du Zhenzhen ignored them and turned around and ran behind Bai Lotus, who guessed that these two people should be the uncle and aunt that Zhen Zhen said.
"Let's not go, please go back." White Lotus didn't have a good impression of this unscrupulous couple, and directly refused with a cold face.
"Where's the little! The old lady spoke, what's the matter with you, sister, go go back with me quickly, otherwise, when your brother leaves, I will kill you and you! The middle-aged woman said with a mean face.
The white lotus clearly felt that the little girl behind her cowered. The white lotus pulled Du Vera back into the house, then closed the bolt of the door and pressed the door against the wood.
The middle-aged woman was obviously even more angry, "Little cheap hoof, open the door quickly, otherwise I will report to the official!" ”
"Report, if you have a kind of report, you will report to the official, I just happened to accuse you of abusing your niece! Embezzle your nephew's property! "The white lotus is separated by the door, and the courage has grown a lot.
Zhen Zhen trembled all over, buried in the gorgeousness of the white lotus, and the white lotus patted her back and said, "Be good, Zhen Zhen is not afraid, wait for your brother to come back, and we will be safe." ”
Zhen Zhen sobbed and nodded, it was obvious that her aunt and uncle had left too much shadow on her.
Two hours later, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and the white lotus looked happy, "Zhenzhen, get up quickly, it may be that the general is back!" ”
Sure enough, Du Feizhou's rough voice sounded outside the door, "Lotus, I'm coming back to marry you!" The white lotus looked happy, and then opened the door, and saw General Du standing at the door, who was a husband and a man.
