Chapter 7: Wimpy Kid
"You say I'm a female worm and will kill people?" Sister Qiu frowned and asked.
Hey, the mother worm who has always been timid and afraid of things dares to ask? Fang Donkey's thin little chest straightened, and he said fiercely: "What's wrong? Am I wrong? ”
Sister Qiu nodded, looked at Fang Donkey and said: "You are right, I am a female worm, I am a very murderer, and I will kill people, I will tell the ghost lady Okay, if you dare to call my mother worm to scold people again, the next person I will kill will be you." Sister Qiu's eyes were determined, and her tone was steady, as if she was talking about ordinary things like she would boil rice porridge.
The Ghost Lady is a strange thing that the adults of Little River Town are afraid of children.
"You...... You're...... Who are you scared of! Fang Donkey stumbled and preached, what is a ten-year-old child, usually instilled with a mess of gods and ghosts, this work is also terrifying, the mother can even kill her own father, it should not be a difficult thing to kill a child......
"Then you can call the mother worm again." Sister Qiu smiled and showed her white teeth, and her eyes told him, "When the ghost lady is lonely at night, she will go to you to talk about life and ideals.
Fang Donkey glanced at his little attendant behind him, and then looked at Sister Qiu who was smiling in front of him, and the "mother worm" was blocked in his throat, he couldn't speak, the child had no taboos, but he was the most timid, it was obviously spring, the sun was warm near noon, but Fang Donkey felt cold on his body, and his hairs stood up.
"If you want me to call me, do you want me to call me? How old are you? Fang Donkey's vicious and ferocious preaching, but he no longer wanted to say the word mother and big worm, he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid, it couldn't be as Sister Qiu wanted, it was definitely not that he was afraid!
Seeing that his face was flushed, Sister Qiu walked away with a smile, she couldn't cure a bunch of little children who didn't have all their hair?! is so scared today, Bao Zhu'er is honest for a while.
When Sister Qiu found her mother by the river, Jia was holding a large wooden basin and struggling to walk up the riverbank, with a stick in her arm to beat the clothes, and the clothes in the wooden basin were wrung out and stacked in the basin, and the piles were all sharp. Sister Qiu looked at the tired Jia family, covered with patches, and looked like an overworked peasant woman, and said that Jia was Mrs. Xiucai, who believed it, since she married into the Mei family, she has been making cattle and horses for the entire Mei family, serving her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then serving her brother-in-law and concubine.
Nominally, she is a talented lady with a good style, but in fact, she didn't stick to half of Mei Xiucai's benefits, but she was the first to endure hardships. In the eyes of her talented father, he studied all these years to repay the Mei family, and the daughter-in-law he married in existed to serve the Mei family, and it was disobedient to dare to be disrespectful to the Mei family.
Sister Qiu sighed, if the 21st century is put aside, few women who have married a phoenix man can endure such a day, that is, a kind and cowardly person like Jia has persevered for these years, and she has not survived until her husband dies, she has not survived yet, and there is no widow of a man, and it is even more difficult to wait for her in the future.
"Mother." Sister Qiu shouted.
Jia Shi raised his eyes and glanced at Sister Qiu, and a smile appeared on his tired and numb face, "Why are you here?" Why don't you rest at home? ”
Sister Qiu glanced at the pile of spiky wooden basins, and by the way, she took the wooden stick that Jia Shi held under her arm, and took a few pieces of clothes in the basin, and the basin in Jia's hand was much lighter in an instant.
"I'll take you home." Sister Qiu said softly, "Didn't I tell you, don't wash her so cleanly, she will definitely want you to wash it in the future." ”
This kind of thing Aunt Mei is going to do.
Jia Shi smiled, holding the wooden basin with one palm, and touching Sister Qiu's head with the other palm, "My daughter has grown up, and she knows that her heart hurts her mother!" Eh, these clothes are just a few clothes, and it doesn't take much effort to wash her......" Jia didn't want to tell his daughter who had just returned home about these messy things at home, so he stopped the topic.
In Jia's view, Sister Qiu is still young, and Aunt Mei is a delicate temper who can make trouble, if she is not satisfied, she will change the law of grinding people, and maybe there will be something embarrassing, at that time, Sister Qiu's milk iron will be directed to her second aunt, and it is indispensable to scold again, and then talk about it, the most important thing is that Sister Qiu went home, not only did she not make any money, but also added a mouth to eat, her second uncle and second aunt rarely wanted to talk about this matter, and then begged them to see that they could do their own work, and let Sister Qiu go.
It's nothing for her to endure hardships and suffering, she just needs to be able to watch Sister Qiu grow up peacefully and marry into the Rong family to live a good life, even if she is tired to death, she can close her eyes safely.
The mother and daughter each had their own thoughts, and walked all the way to the house without saying a word, and as soon as they arrived at the door, Sister Qiu saw Aunt Chunhua next door standing by their door and looking into the courtyard.
Aunt Chunhua and Jia's maiden family are from a village, the two are of the same age, and they were also best friends before they left the cabinet, and it is also fate, and the two married into a village, or neighbors. Aunt Chunhua's mother's family conditions are not good, and she has not married a good family, an old Jiang family next door has an old man with an only son to live, the wife and mother have already gone, the days are tense, but the world is unpredictable, Aunt Chunhua married into the Jiang family and became the hostess, plus the servants are capable people, the life at home is getting better and better, these years gave birth to two sons to the old Jiang family, the eldest son Lin Zhun is 4 years older than Sister Qiu, and the youngest son Lin Yin is 1 year younger than Sister Qiu.
In contrast to this, Jia's family, who originally felt that he had survived to Meiliang to take the Xiucai exam, and became a Xiucai lady to enjoy the blessings, who knew that he came to the Mei family as a cow and a horse, and he didn't give birth to a son, and he didn't have the confidence to speak, and his life was not good, and people were numb to the pressure.
Aunt Chunhua's temperament is refreshing and spicy, and she is a female owner in the family, she has the final say on everything, but every family has a difficult scripture, she is no matter how pitiful she is, she is not used to the Mei family's style, and she can't manage the housework of the Mei family, so she can only make delicious food in her own home, and secretly ask the two sons to give Sister Qiu a taste, if it is sent to Mei's house openly, there will be no Sister Qiu's share.
"Auntie." Sister Qiu shouted.
Aunt Chunhua hurriedly turned her face back, covered in clean coarse cloth clothes, with a silver hairpin pinned to her head, and an apron tied around her waist, as if she had just come out of the small kitchen, she saw Sister Qiu, and said with a sharp smile: "I just heard that Dayin said that Sister Qiu is back, I expected to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet it!" ”
Jia Shi nodded, and she didn't have to be polite to Aunt Chunhua, she only said: "Come back, Lu Ya Dealer said that there is no shortage of girls in the city who do rough work, and if there is an opportunity to work in the future, I will recommend Sister Qiu to go over." ”
Aunt Chunhua glanced at Sister Qiu, who was white and pure, and leaned closer to Jia's and whispered: "Let me say something extraneous, except for those who really can't get by, the old Mei family can't live anymore, her second uncle and third uncle are all idle meals?" When Xiucai was here, all the benefits were theirs, you and Sister Qiu couldn't even eat white bread, and they owed a little foreign debt, how could they have the face to call your orphans and widows debts? Tell Sister Qiu's little girl son to do work for money? Do you want to be shameless? There is an opportunity to work in the back of Lu Ya Dealer, and you can't let go, such a beautiful little daughter you want her to serve people! ”
The extravernacular is the vernacular of Xiaohe Town, which means something that should not be spoken.
This time, the Mei family planned to sell Sister Qiu, but she mustered up all the courage and resisted desperately, so she only wanted Sister Qiu to sign a living deed to work for others, and then go home to marry after earning a few years of money.
"I know, I can't give up Sister Qiu, it's useless ......," Jia Shi said softly, the circles on his thin face were red, who would give up his own child to serve as a servant! When she sent Sister Qiu away, she thought that it was like a knife, a ten-year-old child, who was about to go out to make money to pay off her debts, in the final analysis, she was incompetent and couldn't make money, so she could only ask her daughter to go out to make money.
Aunt Chunhua hurriedly patted Jia's shoulder and said with concern: "What are you talking about, I don't know what kind of person you are?" Don't think about it too much, it's a good thing that my daughter is back. She was clear in her mind, it was not that the Jia family was useless, it was that the Mei family was too thick-skinned, and they couldn't compare to them more shamelessly, and after persuading the Jia family, Aunt Chunhua touched Sister Qiu's head again, stuffed it into Sister Qiu's hand, and smiled at Sister Qiu: "Your father is gone, you can take care of your mother!" ”
Sister Qiu spread out her hand and found that Aunt Chunhua stuffed her with a piece of millet candy, which was about to be held in the palm of her hand for a long time, and the sugar was a little soft, even if the Jiang family had a better life, sugar was also a rare thing, Sister Qiu's heart warmed, and she raised her eyes and smiled sweetly: "Well, thank you, Auntie." ”
Looking at Sister Qiu's sweet smile, Aunt Chunhua couldn't help but sigh, Sister Qiu was introverted and silent before, hiding behind Jia's and not daring to make a sound, but now it seems that she has really grown up. Aunt Chunhua took a closer look at Sister Qiu, she was really a beautiful little lady, it was really a pity, she had no father so early, and she didn't even have someone who could protect her.
"Put it away, hurry up and eat it." Aunt Chunhua said that if she looked at the two little bandits of the Mei family, she would definitely take it away.
Jia Shi looked at the sun, it was almost noon.
Immediately start preparing the family's lunch, if the time is delayed, maybe Sister Qiu and her grandmother will scold, so she wants to say goodbye to Aunt Chunhua, so she heard someone behind her shouting: "Mother! ”
