16. Girlfriends

Chen Yifan did not continue this topic anymore.

"We're leaving, we'll leave Nanxian tomorrow, and grandma will give you a satisfactory answer about being poisoned. If there is a result of your work, someone will also come to inform you. ”

"Thank you!" In addition to these two pale words, Zhao Xiaoling has no other words that can better express her heart.

Doctor Niu and Luo Daqing left the house and came over here.

"Xiaoling, we have to hurry up, if we don't leave, we will have to find a dark road. You take good care of your grandma, I prescribed some medicine for her, and she will be fine after a few days of rest. ”

"If you have something to rush back, I will not keep you anymore, I will not thank you for my great kindness, and I will repay you again if I have the opportunity in the future."

Dr. Niu smiled and said, "You little girl, you are smart and capable, and your mouth will say, your grandmother didn't raise you for nothing, you are like this, I also want to adopt one!"

"Doctor Niu, don't be kidding, people in the village say that people like me are broom stars, when the earthquake occurred, a family of five, I was the only one left, my life was hard, not only killed my family, grandpa also went early, this time grandma almost ......"

Doctor Niu waved his hand, "Don't listen to their nonsense, this Zhaojiagou person is stupid and backward, you are a literate person, don't be influenced by them." ”

Luo Daqing said: "They are just envious and jealous of you, because you have a good future, and you are different from them."

Chen Yifan took out a lot of money from his body, and the largest denomination of money at that time was only ten yuan.

Chen Yifan said: "This money is not much, only more than 100 yuan!" You keep it. ”

Luo Daqing also took out his middle bag and said ashamedly: "I came back this time and gave all the money to my family."

Zhao Xiaoling shook her head and said, "No, since I plan not to go to school, I have the time and way to earn money."

Zhao Xiaoling has the experience of her previous life and knows how to make money, so she will not be overwhelmed by the life of poverty as before.

Chen Yifan stubbornly stuffed the money into Zhao Xiaoling's hands. His hands are broad and warm, with thin calluses.

"You just take it, don't bury you here because of the money."

Chen Yifan's words were unquestionable, and Zhao Xiaoling no longer insisted, "That's good, I borrowed it from you." ”

She really needs money at this moment, she and her grandmother are poor, and at this time the country has not fully implemented reform and opening up, and it is not very convenient to do business, sometimes poverty can make people stupid, make people short-sighted, and make wrong judgments. It was a living tragedy for grandma to eat that bowl of rice noodles because it was poisonous. With this money, she can do what she wants, and when she has the money in the future, she will pay him back.

Zhao Xiaoling sent Doctor Niu and Luo Daqing to the entrance of the village, watching their backs disappear into the woods, and when she turned around, there were many children standing there behind her.

Not a single outsider came to the village for many years, and occasionally one came, and the children were very curious and chased after them like gorillas.

Zhao Xiaoling waved at them as she walked back, "People are gone, go back!" ”

A child curiously surrounded Zhao Xiaoling and asked, "Sister Xiaoling, how can you know such a person?"

"What kind of person?"

"Such an outsider?"

"Sister Xiaoling is going to school outside, it's not strange to know such outsiders." The other child said.

"Sister Xiaoling, you are so powerful, you know such a powerful outsider."

"Sister Xiaoling, are the people outside so powerful?"

The children chattered around Zhao Xiaoling, the children were almost the same when they were young, the reason why the difference is so big when they grow up is because of the difference in education and what they have seen and heard, these children do not go to school, and stay here for the rest of their lives, it is a pity, they are all people, because of the concept of their ancestors and the environment in which they live, their fate is different from that of the children outside the mountain.

"You should go to school, and after you go to school, you will know many great people, and you will become very good yourself. There is a more exciting world outside Zhaojiagou, and there are more interesting people and things. ”

Many of these children, from five or six years old to eight or nine years old, have never walked out of Zhaojiagou.

"Really? Sister Xiaoling, tell us about some interesting people and things outside. The children looked up at Zhao Xiaoling with their innocent and cute little faces, hungry.

In her previous life, Zhao Xiaoling was introverted and dull, and she had never communicated with these children like this, it turned out that these children were as smart and cute as the children outside, but their lives were too closed, and she felt heartache for these children.

"You go back and tell Daddy and Auntie that you want to grow up and have a good life, and you want to live a different life outside than in Zhaojiagou, so you have to go to school, and when you get to school, the teacher will tell you how wonderful the outside world is."

When she arrived at the door, Zhao Xiaoling was going home, but the children held her hand tightly, "Sister Xiaoling, tell us about it!" ”

"My grandma is sick, I have to go back to take care of her, I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?"

After Zhao Xiaoling was reborn this morning, in order to rush back to save her grandmother, she had been in a hurry, and after she came back, she faced a series of unexpected things, and she was so busy that she didn't have time to think about what to do next, and there were still a few rabbits and pheasants at home that she needed to deal with, so she could only send these children away temporarily.

The children went to other places to play, Zhao Xiaoling entered the house and was about to close the door, but Zhao Shufen ran over from a distance and said, "Xiaoling, wait a minute, don't close the door, I came to you on purpose."

In her previous life, Zhao Shufen was Zhao Xiaoling's only best friend in the village, but after Zhao Xiaoling's grandmother died, in order to take care of her as an orphan in the commune, she was a high school student, so she was given a place to work in the county iron and steel plant, and the letter was opened by Zhao Shufen's father Zhao Dabao privately, so the place to go to work in the steel plant was also replaced by Zhao Shufen.

Friendship is nothing in the face of interests.

Zhao Xiaoling said coldly: "Xiaofen, what's the matter?"

Zhao Shufen didn't seem to notice Zhao Xiaoling's obvious coldness and unwelcomeness, and she pushed open the door of Zhao Xiaoling's house familiarly.

"Let's go to the house and talk about it."

As he spoke, he went to Zhao Xiaoling's house first, and moved a small Dengzi to sit in the yard.

Zhao Xiaoling had to get those hares and pheasants out before it got dark, put salt on them, and dry them.

She was busy with herself.

"Xiaoling, you can really do it, you can catch wild things when you come back every week, although your family has no money, but there is no shortage of meat."

"Hmm!" Zhao Xiaoling was busy with Zhao Shufen while her hands were busy. "Xiaoling, where is your grandmother? Are you okay now? ”
