Chapter 2: A New Identity

"Water, water" Zeng Ziqing didn't know what was wrong, like a nightmare, with a headache and foot pain, all over his body was sore, and he was so thirsty, it couldn't be that he was cold by the river last night. No, didn't you get on the bus back to school? Wait, it's too bad, the bus overturned, but where is this, it's not like a hospital, there is no smell of disinfectant water, there is a smell, it seems to be the smell of a pigsty, I haven't smelled it for many years. A strong desire to survive made Zeng Ziqing open his eyes, oh my God, the low adobe house, the thatched roof, but there is no air leakage everywhere, and there is a window, wooden, no glass and no plastic paste, covered with straw, it is estimated that it is temporary. Well, he must have been saved by the good people in the mountains. But the family is too poor to find such a thatched house now, unless it is a pigsty and a cattle pen. Oh no, doesn't this smell like a pigsty? Zeng Ziqing slowly got up, she was full of gratitude just now, but now she was gritting her teeth. "Why don't you say this person is doing a good job to the end, just don't send me to the hospital, and can't find me a clean room, do you say you want me to be grateful to you or make me hate you?" Zeng Ziqing has this habit of chattering by herself when she has nothing to do. The people around me are used to it.

"Ah, I ran into a ghost, my hands, how can my hands be so small, what about the feet, it's over, the feet are so small, the hair, the hair, oh my God, the dead grass." The strange discovery made Ziqing immediately close the initial scream. After pondering for a while, could it be that I had crossed by myself? How else to explain it? But I don't have any memory of this little girl, where is this, what dynasty, why was it thrown into the pigsty? Ziqing didn't know anything, looking at the tattered clothes on her body, as well as the bare cotton, she couldn't see the color, there were no buttons, only a few straps. looked at the place where he was lying and laid a thick layer of clean straw, he should be glad that he was not in the company of pigs, there was no way, Zeng Ziqing's heart was so big. If it weren't for the fact that my boyfriend who has been in love for many years had a new love last night, I wouldn't have smiled and wished him happiness. But what about the parents over there? How sad do family members know they're gone? Thinking of his parents and brother who loved him, maybe he would never see him again, Zeng Ziqing couldn't help but feel sad, sobbed, forgot the place, forgot the time.

"Qing'er, Qing'er, are you awake? Are you alright? I'm the second brother, and the second brother came to see you. ”

"Second brother? Qing'er? My name is still Qing'er? Is this more acceptable? Ziqing looked for it, there was a pair of small cloth shoes next to it, I couldn't see the color, Zeng Ziqing put it on and walked to the door, the small wooden door was locked from the outside, and through the palm-wide crack of the door, I saw a 6 or 7-year-old boy squatting outside. Fortunately, it's relatively clean, and the long ones are delicate, but the clothes are quite torn. The hair is tied up on the top of the head, and then it hangs down, and at first glance, it looks like the hairstyle of the ancient children in the TV series, which is obviously not the Qing Dynasty.

"Qing'er, are you really okay? Great, my mother gave birth to a little brother last night, and the eldest brother went to my uncle's house early in the morning to deliver a letter. Grandma sent a letter to Daddy, and you can come out when Daddy comes back. ”

What, Zeng Ziqing is furious, there is a father, a mother, and a brother, such a young child is actually locked up in a pigsty to fend for himself, what kind of family is this? Tai Chi is good. The careless Zeng Ziqing didn't realize that the child didn't speak Mandarin, but she understood.

But I didn't know anything, so I had to talk slowly.

"Second brother, Qing'er is thirsty and hungry, can you find some water and food for Qing'er?" The voice is glutinous, and it comes out of the same dialect.

"Well, you wait. I'll go to the stove room and have a look. ”

Zeng Ziqing, who was waiting, carefully looked at the thatched house, and used wooden strips to enclose the whole wall along the corner of the wall into a rectangular pit, and there were three fat pigs sleeping in the pit. There is also a pit on the other side, but it is not as deep as the pig pit, and it is not that big, and there is a wooden stick standing next to it, and there is a pile of messy straw on the ground, which is estimated to be a cattle pen, which I saw in the countryside when I was a child. The other corner of the cattle pen was piled with farm tools, and a small piece of dry ground next to the door was paved with new straw, which was where Zeng Ziqing was lying.

"Qing'er, come, the second brother has found something to eat for you."

A small bowl was handed over from the big crack at the bottom of the door, it was rice soup, and there was really a smell of rice, Ziqing couldn't wait to send it to his mouth when he brought it, no way, he was thirsty and hungry, and he drank a bowl, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, you wait, I'll go again"

After a while, it was delivered, and I drank three bowls all the time, but the bowl was not big.

"Second brother, I'm afraid, you tell your mother, I want to go home."

"Mother can't help it, grandma won't let me, I don't mean that you will give your illness to others. The second aunt is sick all day long, and she didn't say that she wanted to give it to others. It's not eccentric yet. I heard my mother crying, and the third mother-in-law said that my mother was angry, and the little brother would come out. ”

I see, it's really his grandmother's.

"What about Daddy? Daddy doesn't want Qing'er too? ”

"Isn't Daddy not at home? It's good that Daddy is back. ”

"Why isn't Daddy at home?"

"Qing'er, have you forgotten? Daddy is in the official school in the county, today is the day to go home, and Daddy will be back in a while. ”

Fortunately, I almost showed my stuffing, but fortunately it was a 6 or 7-year-old child.

"Second brother, what kind of disease do I have?"

"Aren't you chickenpox? Grandma is afraid of giving a big family, and the big daddy and aunt said that you will be locked up here. ”

God, can this survive? Wait, Daddy and Auntie, what kind of family are they?

"Little Er, you're coming to see your sister again."

Xiao Er, this name is so joyful, I like it.

"Big brother. Come on, sister. ”

"Really?" A gust of wind ran over, "Boss, don't be so excited, for the sake of you really caring about me, I won't care about this incident." Zeng Ziqing thought in her heart.

"Sister, are you really okay? You tell the eldest brother, is there anything uncomfortable? ”

"It's just a little sore and sore, and it's still a little confused."

"Oh, then I'll tell my mother to go first, and then I'll find Grandpa to find you the old man of Zhou Village to show you."

"Big brother, go quickly. The second brother is with me. ”

After waiting for the effort, I finally set out the situation of this big family: grandparents and grandparents have five children, three daughters and two sons, the two sons are the eldest, and they are all married and have children, the eldest aunt Chunyu married to Yancun, which is ten miles away from home, the second aunt Xia Yu and the third aunt Qiuyu are still in the boudoir, and the second aunt is not in good health and takes medicine all year round. It is said that the bundles earned by Daddy have been exchanged for medicine money. Daddy Zeng Ruiqing's family has only one daughter so far, ten years old, one year older than the eldest brother, what kind of work does the eldest father do in a yamen in the state capital, and the second brother can't say clearly, after all, it is a child. I just know that he goes home for a few days every month. The rest is this body deity family, father Zeng Ruixiang and mother Shen plus the little brother who was just added last night, a total of five children, Ziqing is in the middle, two brothers and two brothers. The eldest brother Zeng Zifu is nine years old this year, I don't know if he is a year old or a virtual age, he has been enlightened in the private school in the town, the second brother Zilu is seven years old and has not yet been enlightened, Zeng Ziqing is just five years old, the same name and surname are cheap, it is estimated that she wore it, and there is a three-year-old radish head Zeng Zishou plus a Zeng Zixi who just came out (guess). Now Fulu and Suxi are here.

With such a big family, there is no separation, Zeng Ziqing is really a bit incredible, how lively it should be this day. has to jump every day, Zeng Ziqing's heart is full of ill-intentioned joy, life will not be boring, life will not be lonely, she completely forgot that life is difficult, and life needs tears and sweat. This matter is about to be verified.

"Second brother, why don't our families separate, and the mother of the family doesn't have to be angry. Ziqing doesn't have to be locked up. ”

"The eldest mother quarrels every day to separate the family, and so does the eldest father, not that the grandfather and grandmother disagree."

It is estimated that for the sake of the two aunts, the medicine money and dowry money are also needed. Ziqing immediately analyzed the essence of the problem. Alas, I don't know how many fields and family properties this family has, and it won't be too good to think about it. Zeng Ziqing finally realized that the quality of life problem. I knew that I would wear it, and yesterday I made a wish to the moon with Liu Cen, so I should have said that my greatest wish is to be a child of a big landlord, at least worry-free about food and clothing.

Lang Zhong didn't come, but the cheap dad came first. No one else came to see me, I was too indifferent. The best is really the best. Ziqing said silently.

"Qing'er, Qing'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Daddy. Wasn't it okay for Daddy to come home last time? ”

"Daddy, Qing'er is fine. Qing'er wants a mother. ”

"Good. Qing'er went home. Zeng Ruixiang opened the door and hugged Zeng Ziqing.

"Qing'er, Daddy is late, so my Qing'er suffers, it's all Daddy's bad, Daddy almost can't see Qing'er."

Zeng Ziqing felt a burst of dampness and heat on his face, and said that the man didn't flick when he had tears, it seems that the cheap father is really afraid of losing his daughter. But he didn't know that he still lost it after all, but Zeng Ziqing thought that she would do better.
