Pear Blossom's footsteps seem to be stepping on cotton, and her face is so hot that she doesn't even know how she got home.

Ewha is near the water's edge, and it is a adobe house unique to that era, with wooden beams and cobwebs. and the head of a towering chimney that has been smoked to the point of blackening. Small kitchen full of everything you can put in. Sometimes when there is no place to sleep, when there is no place to sleep, they make a bunk here.

It's the busy farming season now, and there isn't much time for her to think about these children's affections, fetch water, and there are still a lot of housework waiting for her to do, and she has to go to work in the afternoon.

"Pear Blossom, Pear Blossom, come here." On the way to work, someone stopped her from behind. Rika turned around and stepped forward and saw a girl named Fangfang in the same village leading two female intellectuals.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is Luo Fenghua, and this is Bai Jiangyin." Fang Fang introduced.

Fangfang is a girl her age, and the two have only been to school for two or three years and know some words. When he grew up, he helped his family work and lightened the burden on his parents.

Fangfang combed two dry jute braids behind her head, her complexion was black and yellow, her fingers were thick and long, and there were several cracks in some places, and there was still yellow water flowing out. The shriveled body wears clothes with several layers of patches that make it difficult to distinguish colors, and has a simple atmosphere unique to the village; Compared with the pear blossom, the complexion is fair, the eyes are bright, the look is radiant, the clothes on the body are clean and tidy, but the cuffs of the feet are stained with dirty mud because of the work. I also combed two braids, black and shiny on my chest.

No matter how you look at it, Pear Blossom doesn't look like a girl who grew up in the countryside.

Luo Fenghua and Bai Jiangyin looked at a flower in the village, and Pear Blossom was also looking at the two.

Luo Fenghua has a black mole on the side of his nose, short shoulder-length hair, and his hair is fixed with a hairpin in front of his mind, which looks very literary. Bai Jiangyin is small, with delicate facial features, and she wears braids like her, and the braids are also decorated with flower ornaments, and she looks very smart.

Fang Fang continued: "The two of them have been here for a few days, and they are not familiar with the village, so I will show them around and show them how to work by the way. ”

The village has a natural reverence for intellectuals who come down from the city, and Ewha is no exception. She smiled at the two of them a little restrainedly, Luo Fenghua smiled back, Bai Jiangyin seemed to talk more, she warmly took Lihua's hand, "A flower, it really deserves its name." My name is Bai Jiang Yin, the river of the river, the chanting of the chant, you can call me the chant. The first time we meet, this is a little bit of heart for you to accept, and there are still many things to please you in the future! ”

What Kashiwae Yin gave to Pear Blossom was a fashionable leather band for tying hair in the city, a total of two, different colors.

"Thank you, it's beautiful. If you have any work you don't understand, you can ask me. Rika accepted the gift because she saw Fang Fang winking at her.

"That's right! Feng Hua and I grew up in the city since we were children. It's a strange place for us, but it's also very interesting. In the past, I only read the book and said, 'Every grain is happy', but we can't personally experience the poet's artistic conception and the bitterness in it, but now, we can experience it all over again.

Away from the hustle and bustle, return to the countryside, cultivate by yourself, and experience Tao Yuanming's self-satisfied life of 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan'. Every day we come here brings us a different feeling. Bai Jiangyin opened his mouth to say something that he didn't understand.

Pear Blossom and Fangfang don't understand, this is just a remote little place, every day when they open their eyes, what they see is either mountains or water, day after day, they have long been accustomed to it, and there is nothing special about it, but she said that this place is like a fairyland.

After getting to know each other, they dispersed and went back to work in the fields. Everyone has a ration, and they can only call it a day and go home when they finish it. In the Ewha family, she is the eldest, and there are three younger brothers and a younger sister below. If she wants to have food before the new grain comes down in the coming year, Pear Blossom must work in the field, and she has to work quickly and neatly, not only her, but also her second brother, who is one year younger than her, and her second brother, who is three years younger, have to work in the field to earn work.

In the village, hard-working girls are easy to talk about, and lazy girls are not wanted. Rika doesn't remember when she started helping her family, but she has been doing all kinds of household chores for as long as she can remember.

Going to school is just that the family watched other children in the village being sent to school, so she also studied for two or three years, and then Lihua's mother gave birth to several younger siblings for her, and she never went to school again, staying at home with her younger siblings to do housework.

In this era, children in the countryside rarely have any naughty mischief, and they are very easy to bring. A little disobedient, the parents will serve with the board.

Rika likes to read poetry, and although she didn't go to school much, she also learned a few ancient poems. She thought that if one day in the future, she could continue to study, she would definitely finish reading the poems that she had not finished, no worse than Bai Jiangyin.

Bai Jiangyin's favorite thing to do is to quietly show off his erudition in front of Fangfang and Pear Blossom, see the pear tree, and immediately tell a lingering and touching love story. Some young children who love to listen to stories always like to revolve around her when they are not busy, pestering her to tell more stories.

In the shortest possible time, she gathered the hearts of a group of children. The people in the village didn't care what she said, they only cared about her work, and if she didn't do her job well, it was useless to tell more stories. Some children want to listen to the story, so they go to help her work, adults will praise their children in front of them for their love, and when they come home, they will have a meal of bamboo and meat, and their own work has not been finished, but they run to work for others, and the day before yesterday is over, and the next day is the same.

I have to say that Bai Jiangyin has a talent for storytelling, a simple story is told by her with emotion, the fear of fear, when it is time to clap and applaud, people can't help but applaud.

When Rika is not busy, she will come over to listen to a sentence or two to see how many stories she still has in her stomach.

After listening to the story once, Bai Jiangyin left her to speak alone.

"I've got something for you." Kashirae Yin handed Rika something wrapped in red cloth.

"What is it?" Rika took over, and the touch of the cloth was like a box.

"Open it and take a look." Bai Jiangyin smiled and gestured.

Rika obediently opened the red cloth, revealing a book, which should be said to be a collection of fairy tales.

Bai Jiangyin: "How is it?" I'm good to you! This is the work of a famous fairy tale writer, and the words I don't know in it have my annotations. ”

"You send me? Why? The two never said a few words, and their friendship was mediocre. Why would she give herself such a valuable thing? Rika couldn't figure it out.

Kashirae Yin showed her the books she had brought, and Rika's eyes widened in surprise. Bai Jiangyin brought a whole suitcase of books, and his clothes only occupied a small corner.

"Some of these books were issued by the school, which were originally used to take the college entrance examination, and some were bought with my own pocket money. I love to read and I love to read. When I talk about the esoteric words in the story, only you stop to think. I guess you love to learn, I've finished reading this fairy tale book, I'll send it to you for a few days, and I'll have to pay it back when the time comes. Bai Jiangyin patted his suitcase.
