Chapter Twenty-Five: The Commencement of School
Jiang Cuilian had always wanted to hide the secret about the first two big fat pigs in the family, but in the end she couldn't hide it, and Qin Yue finally knew!
It's just that Qin Yang only found out when he came back for the Spring Festival two years later! After all, three people died in the neighboring village all of a sudden, such a big thing, there can be an impermeable wall under the sky!
Besides, that night, it was the village chief Zhang from the neighboring village who accompanied her to the police station in the town to make a record, and Xiao Zhao, a villager motorcycle driver from the neighboring village, was also on the side!
When Qin Yue heard the news about the death of the three light bastards in a car accident when Aunt Li and another woman from the village were chattering! On the side, she was so shocked that her jaw fell to the ground!
God, this is really miserable, all three of them died all at once, and there were two big fat pigs. However, a little girl like her would not go to those middle-aged women to join in the fun!
"I heard from the people in the next village that those three bastards went to the Qin family, who died of cancer, to force debts, and dragged the only two fat pigs in the family to pay off the debts, and I never thought about ......it," said another woman!
"Iniquity!"
……
When the two women talked about the sadness, they both accompanied the sad scene and emitted a faint sigh!
Although it was a little distance, Qin Yue still heard the conversation between the two women clearly.
From this, she can almost be sure that this is undoubtedly her own home! The Qin family who died of cancer, there are not many people surnamed Qin in the entire village!
My father was the only one who died of cancer recently, and the two fat pigs in the family disappeared inexplicably! Mother Jiang Cuilian's two words "sold" are even more "suspicious". It sounds like it's not the truth at all!
Rural people's concept of improving food is to eat meat, especially in this poor town in the southwest. This was the conversation between the two women that Qin Yue overheard when she came back from buying meat in the town that day.
In that small place where communication is not developed enough, the communication telephone of the whole village basically only relies on a landline phone in the village chief's house!
For the vast majority of people, daily communication and information transmission still stay on "word of mouth"! Therefore, there are many words, even if they are just the words of the people here after tea and dinner, and the meaning has changed by others!
Ever since she heard this conversation, Qin Yue has been beating a drum in her heart, do you want to go to her mother for verification and ask clearly! However, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she can't really understand it, if it is already a fact, even if it is verified, it is meaningless!
So, that incident has always been pressed in her heart, and even when she closes her eyes and prepares to go to bed every night, the conversation scene of the two women will always flash in her mind like a movie!
In the end, in order to let herself sleep peacefully every night in the future, Qin Yue decided to ask her mother in person!
That night, Jiang Cuilian, who came back from the construction site, saw meat on the table. The first thing is to harshly reprimand the daughter, the meat is
Where did it come from! Until Qin Yue told her mother the full details of how her sister Qin Yang gave her money. Mother Jiang Cuilian's serious face gradually became kinder.
However, for the green pepper back to the pot meat on the table, she basically put the thin one into Qin Yue's bowl, and said in her mouth, "Xiaoyue, now is the time for you to grow your body, you want to eat more meat!" "¥ Aiqi Literature is better, newer and faster
At mealtime, she rarely eats even fatty meat! However, Jiang Cuilian ate two large bowls of rice in the mung bean soup made from the soup of boiled meat! After that, she touched the place on her stomach with satisfaction, "It's delicious!"
Qin Yue on the side turned her face and secretly wiped her tears! She wondered how long her mother hadn't eaten meat by herself!
When Qin Yue was at home, she would cook a meal every afternoon and wait for her mother to come back and eat together! Her mother was worried that she would be hungry, and always told her not to wait all the time, but to cook and eat when she was ready!
Actually, fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, it's false to say that they are not hungry! But when Qin Yue remembered the tiredness of her mother when she came back every day and the way her mother ate. She comforted herself in the bottom of her heart, what is this hunger!
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that Qin Yue actually suffered from stomach problems a few years later! However, she never associates the future as a past-tense, present, life, food, and habits.
Qin Yue during the summer vacation originally wanted to go to a restaurant or supermarket to work as a summer job to earn some money. But after going for four or five days in a row, she ran to almost all the stores in the town, and everyone who rejected her was "You are too young, we don't want it!" ”
Helpless, Qin Yue had no choice but to go home to help her mother take care of the vegetable patch in the house!
"Mom, I want to ask you one thing, can you not scold me?" Even Qin Yue herself didn't expect her trembling appearance, but she made her mother laugh first.
"You kid, you can ask whatever you want, how can I, a mother, scold you for no reason?"
Her rhetorical question seemed to give Qin Yue great confidence. Qin Yue finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Mom, I want to ask you, did the three light bastards who died in the neighboring village drag the two fat pigs of our family to pay off their debts and die in a car accident?" ”
Hearing her daughter's question, Jiang Cuilian seemed to have been struck by lightning, and her shoulders trembled suddenly, but she still didn't give up and wanted to continue to conceal it, "You kid, how can you talk nonsense?" ”
"No, Mom, I went to the town to buy meat today, and I heard people from the neighboring village nagging about this!" Qin Yue knew that her mother would not scold herself for this, so she became a little bold.
"Yes, but Satsuki! Let's not lose, those two pigs are not enough to sell and owe money to others. It's just that I pity those young lives who have created evil! Tears welled up in her mother's eyes.
"Those wicked people really deserve it!" Speaking of Xu Biao, a bastard of light, Qin Yue hated it so much that the roots of her teeth itched. She thought that they must have been embarrassed by their mother. Otherwise, according to his mother's character, how could he easily let people drag their own livestock away!
"Xiaoyue, don't say that, if it weren't for your father's illness, we would have borrowed it from someone else
Money words. Maybe it wouldn't have happened! As she spoke, the mother put her index finger to her mouth and made a silent gesture.
"Mom, but Xu Biao himself is not a good person!" Qin Yue was still a little indignant!
"Satsuki!" Mother raised her voice a lot.
Qin Yue was so frightened that she quickly shut up. The secret about the two big fat pigs finally fell to the ground in Qin Yue's heart. But what she wondered was why Xu Biao died so young. It turns out how fragile life is.
On this day, my mother returned home before 4 p.m. When she returned, she carried a piglet in two broken snakeskin bags.
She put the pigs back in the pigsty, and the two little piglets began to cry out "invite food"! So, Qin Yue responded to her mother's instructions and hurried to the vegetable field at the door to pull some cabbage back.
"These two piglets are not big enough, if you want to eat cooked food, you must chop it a little bit and cook it so that you don't waste firewood!" Mother's orders Qin Yue did them one by one.
In fact, Qin Yue can also realize that for families who are used to raising livestock, it is really unaccustomed to having no other living creatures in the house except people!
Originally, Qin Yue's family had some chickens before. But since the mother was busy taking care of the sick father, the chickens seemed to answer the call of the father to be sick. Not long after, twenty or thirty chickens died of the plague.
My mother was sad for a week. Therefore, until now there are no chickens in the house.
In the past, when the family raised chickens, my mother would always take all the eggs from the family to the town and exchange them for money to pay for the sisters' tuition and living expenses!
On weekdays, my mother always carries the biggest and fattest chickens to the town and exchanges them for money to cover the family's various expenses! Only during the Spring Festival every year, the mother will pick out a smaller one and slaughter it and boil it into chicken soup. It's a good meal for the family all year round!
My father worked day and night. When the farm was busy, he stayed at home for a while, and when the farm was not working, he went to the county town to work as a coolie and unloader.
In the past, these were the main source of income for the family, especially the sisters. It's just that now, there is no father in the family, and there is no pillar of the family.
On this day, Qin Yue's meal was the only punctual day. During the meal, Qin Yue said to her mother, "Mom, I saw the old hen of the third aunt's family hugging the nest." Otherwise, let's go talk to the third aunt, and when the chicks come out of the shell, let's pick up a pair to raise. ”
When my mother heard this, she immediately responded, "Okay, I'll go over and ask in the evening!" ”
A month later, my mother really went to the house of the third aunt of the next-door neighbor and picked up two little chicks with black and fluffy bodies! Although it is said to be picked up. But in our area, there is no reason to take people's things for nothing! Therefore, the third aunt of the neighbor only symbolically accepted two yuan.
For Qin Yue, the entire long summer vacation is tantamount to spending it in a magnificent wave! She had thought about giving up her studies and starting her part-time job with her sister from now on. I also complained deeply in my heart about fate
It's so unfair, so many people in the world, why did the disease take away my father.
On the day of school, her mother Jiang Cuilian handed Qin Yue 300 yuan and said to her, "Although the school manages your tuition and monthly living expenses, you still need to buy some daily necessities!" Qin Yue hesitated for a long time and didn't accept the money handed by her mother. Although she felt that what her mother said was very reasonable, she still couldn't bear her mother to take the hard-earned money that her mother had worked so hard to earn from the construction site.
"You take it, and strive to have a point of interest in the future!" Hearing her mother say this, Qin Yue reluctantly reached out and took the money handed over by her mother.
On the day of registration, Qin Yue took a car to the county seat to go to school! When she saw that many students were accompanied by their parents, she couldn't hold back after all, so she secretly wiped her tears in the corner.
After the report, Qin Yue still found a public phone supermarket and called her sister Qin Yang. Qin Yang, the sister on the other end of the phone, seemed to be very busy, just told her to come on, and hung up the phone in a hurry!
For this reason, Qin Yue's heart was still a little lost! It's just that she doesn't know that the sister on the other end of the phone also has some unspeakable loss.
