When the aunt talked about the past, she sighed deeply and rarely.

This is already a very rare thing for the aunt, she has been strong all her life, even her husband and only son died unexpectedly, she did not fall down like other women, taking care of her grandson to help the widowed daughter-in-law, this old lady still lives her own life no worse than other people's families!

can mention how Xiaoxiang fell into the problem of stomach ache during menstruation, and the aunt rarely showed a sad look.

"In the thirteenth year of Xiaoxiang, the team played early that year, and it was just the middle of October, and the team didn't have any important work, your uncle and eldest brother were still there at that time, and the sticky bean buns were steamed at home, and the pear trees and mountain clove trees in the garden bore a lot of fruit, which I kept in the cellar.

It just so happened that your uncle and eldest brother earned dozens of catties of rice by making pankang and shangliang, so I thought about calling Xiaoxiang home to live for a few days. This child loves to eat rice, and he can't see a single grain of rice here in Mopantun for a year. ”

The aunt sighed deeply again, every time she thought of this, her heart was blocked as if she had pressed a stone, "Xiaoxiang came home on October 12, this child is diligent, and there is work everywhere, I didn't stop it, or made a pair of cotton hands for your uncle and eldest brother, five fingers separated, and a piece of lambskin was added to the palm, which was warm and good-looking, and the work was very flexible, your eldest brother wore it and did the work for a winter, and his hands were not frozen at all." ”

The aunt has only one son in her life, and the family is very rare, Xiaoxiang, a beautiful and sensible little girl, has to take her over every year when there is something delicious at home, so that she can live there for a few days.

The eldest uncle and eldest cousin have good skills in the beam on the pankang, and they work for the people in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, and they can earn a lot of income a year.

If it weren't for Han Jin chasing after her every year, he would have to take her back, and the aunt's family would have been eager to keep Xiaoxiang at home for a few years.

That year, too, Xiao Xiang had just gone to live for less than ten days, and Han Jin went with Old Man Han twice, one time saying that he was passing by, and brought a lot of food to Xiao Xiang, just sugar cubes and beef tongue biscuits, and brought a school bag, as if Xiao Xiang could be hungry when she stayed at her house! After five days, I went again, saying that Mr. Han had caught a few rabbits and wanted to send them to Xiangxiang while they were still freezing.

Han Jin Monkey didn't grind people back for a day by Xiangxiang's side, and it was almost dark before he was taken away by Old Man Han with the back of his neck.

The aunt thought that this time Xiaoxiang might live at home for a few days, and the uncle also said that the child would live until the New Year, this year their father and son earned a lot of extra money, and the family had enough food, so they had to make two sets of clothes for Xiaoxiang.

The eldest cousin also asked Xiao Xiang for two birds from others, with yellow feathers and a red beak, and the little birds were packed in a cage of purple thin rattans, and they were crisp and vibrant, which was gratifying! Xiao Xiang fed them with millet every day, and when she heard them call, she smiled and turned back to call her aunt and uncle and cousin, looking at her and laughing, but she was rarer than a bird!

"Xiao Xiang's father and mother came on October 25, your uncle grinded four sheep Galaha for Xiaoxiang, I found a few clean and sensible little girls in the tunzi to play with Xiaoxiang, and several children were sitting on the kang with Xiaoxiang to play Galaha, and they entered the house."

When I came, I wanted to take Xiaoxiang away, of course my aunt's family didn't agree, but Zhou Baotian said that Old Man Han gave Xiaoxiang dozens of yuan and hundreds of catties of food a year, just so that she could cook and take care of the children, and she would be away for several months, so how could it be! Isn't this the old man Han of the pit family!

Zhang Guirong also said that Han Jin made a fuss at home every day, and when Xiaoxiang was not at home, he would collapse the roof, and the old man Han didn't say anything about benevolence and righteousness, they couldn't be so blind, they had to take Xiaoxiang back today.

Otherwise, how can you have the face to take other people's things in the future?

The eldest uncle and eldest cousin are honest people, and they believe it when they hear it, afraid that Xiaoxiang will go back and complain, and they also think that they will send it back and bring some rice over, but don't let Xiaoxiang go back and be wronged.

Auntie didn't believe it, she and her grandmother took Xiaoxiang to live at home every year, which family was not allowed to live for a month or two, what did Old Man Han say? The old man not only did not object, but also said that Xiaoxiang was young and couldn't always work at home, so she had to go out to meet people, and every time she went to pick up someone, the old man happily packed up Xiaoxiang and let her go out.

Although he is not at ease every time, he has to come to see it a few times, but he is really worried about the child or is he here to urge the child to go home, can she still see it?

Besides, the old man still chatted with her in private, saying that Xiaoxiang usually doesn't go home, and always lives with an old man like him and a Tao boy like Han Jin all year round, and no one teaches her many things that the mother teaches her, so that the aunt bothers to teach the children more.

How could the old man, who was so careful about Xiaoxiang, suddenly change his face and had to let her go back to cook? Besides, two days ago, the old man came, and looked at Xiaoxiang with a smile, so that she could live at her aunt's house with peace of mind, "Grandpa came to pick you up before the Chinese New Year and bought you and Xiaojin a hawthorn dipped in sugar gourd!" ”

It's Han Jin who is like that little wolf cub, every time she comes back to find Xiaoxiang, she also grinds and coaxes her to go home, she says that if she stays for a few more days, Han Jin won't be embarrassed for her, but she just asked how many days she stayed, and came to pick her up early in the morning.

The aunt slapped Zhang Guirong hard, leaving the two speechless, and they didn't dare to mention anything about taking Xiaoxiang home again.

It's a pity that she didn't mention it to her face, as soon as she turned her back, the two of them grabbed Xiaoxiang, and they didn't know what they said to the child, and the child immediately agreed to go home with them.

Xiaoxiang insisted on going home immediately, but the aunt had no choice but to pack up the floral cloth she bought, and muttered that she hadn't had time to cut the clothes, and told her that she must take it back and wear it herself, but she couldn't keep it for her mother, then she would definitely not be able to wear it on her at that time!

And the child came back for the first time in the past two days, and she was scared and uncomfortable, she really didn't worry about letting her go now.

But the child went with her biological parents, she just didn't think much about it, at most she was afraid that these two would unknowingly snatch the child's candy cubes, biscuits, flowers and clothes to outsiders.

So before they left, the aunt pulled Zhang Guirong aside and told her that Xiaoxiang would come back for her first period, and she would have to take care of her on the way, don't make the child cold and tired, and don't let her cry. The little girl's first time is important, and if she hurts her body, she may have to delay it for a lifetime!

Zhang Guirong promised well, and the two of them left with Xiaoxiang.

As a result, they walked for half a month, and one night they suddenly carried the child back, Xiaoxiang was unconscious on the door panel, her face was as white as a piece of paper, she was a lot thinner than when she left home, the padded jacket on her body was gone, and there were still big blood blisters on her hands and shoulders!

The aunt's family was almost scared to death, and hurriedly sent the child to the commune health center, but the doctor said that the child was overtired, malnourished, and tired like this!

The aunt beat Zhang Guirong and Zhou Baotian hard, and even the eldest uncle, who has always had a good temper, gave Zhou Baotian a few kicks before they told the truth.

They didn't take Xiaoxiang home at all, but took her to work at a water conservancy site next to the Heishui River to earn money.

When I went, I lied to Xiaoxiang, saying that Xiaoshan was sick and urgently needed money to treat Xiaoshan, but it was not enough for Mr. Han to give a little, and he would lend ten yuan more to go to a construction site alone, Xiaoxiang had to help make up the number of people, otherwise Xiaoshan would have no money for treatment!

Xiaoxiang went and followed them to carry soil and stones in the muddy water that was all ice ballast, the river beach was full of silt, it was already snowing, people couldn't even wear shoes when they walked on it, and the children were barefoot and they worked there for half a month!

And the child's padded jacket also let them lend to a little boy who has no cotton clothes to wear, and so Xiaoxiang to ask, not only did they not give, but also pushed her, pushed her down from the river embankment, although she was not injured, but tired and sick for half a month, the child was too weak, and then she was unconscious.

When they took the child home from the health center to raise it, the aunt found out that the child's menstrual leave had not left for half a month, and his stomach hurt so much that he rolled on the kang every night!

At this point, Zhang Guirong still didn't think so, "Which woman comes to menstruate and doesn't work?" Where does she come from so much attention to a little girl? It's not the landlord's lady, what's the first time? I didn't do the same work the first time! ”
