20. Harvesting

"Xiaoling, what you said is very good, why do I think you seem to be a different person these days."

Zhao Xiaoling was afraid that she had changed too much and made her grandmother suspicious, so she casually said: "Grandma, I also think I have changed a lot, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Some time ago I was at school and had a dream, a very strange dream, but in my dream, it felt like it was real."

Zhao Xiaoling's words aroused her grandmother's curiosity, "What kind of dream did you have, yesterday you said that you just had a dream, so you came back." ”

Zhao Xiaoling said bluntly: "I dreamed that you died, the date of death was yesterday, after you died, Liu Guihua and they occupied the house, I was bullied by them, my aunt took me to Nancun, because of my appearance, my aunt was bullied by my parents-in-law, and the family jumped every day, and finally, my aunt and uncle divorced, and later, my aunt also died, and I had no relatives in this life......"

Zhao Xiaoling cried silently as she spoke.

Grandma was also infected, and her eye circles were red.

"So you ran back with Dr. Niu to save me?"

"Yes! Grandma, this dream is too terrible and too real......"

"If I really died yesterday, you would definitely be bullied by Liu Guihua and them, and your aunt would take you away, and her life would be like what you said, how terrible is that...... Fortunately, I didn't die, and if you came back and saved me, these terrible things wouldn't have happened. ”

"But in my dreams, I have really felt the tragic fate without you, so after I woke up, I felt a lot, and people have changed a lot, especially ideas, many thoughts have changed before."

"I see, poor boy, don't be afraid, it's just a dream, am I not okay now?"

"Grandma, if I get a job, I'll take you out of here, it's better if you go to the county seat to work, it's close to my aunt's house, we can see my aunt and them often."

"Of course it would be nice if you could get a job in the county, but it's so easy!"

"Even if I can't find a job, I will also do a little business to support me and you."

"But don't do any business, the tail of capitalism will be cut, and you will be criticized."

"Grandma, now that the national policy has changed, you can do business, and you are encouraged to invigorate the economy!"

"Really? Don't lie to grandma, I don't know how to read, but I know that I can't fight against the government, and it will end badly. ”

"Don't worry! Grandma, the policy will get better and better in the future, and everyone's life will get better and better. ”

Before Wang Yuan left just now, he deliberately called Zhao Xiaoling aside and told her that he would inform her again when the work matter was settled in a few days.

So Zhao Xiaoling thinks that finding a job should be fine, but she can't say it until the matter is completely determined.

Zhao Xiaoling and her grandmother made cakes together, and ate with the leftover chicken soup from yesterday, the time was already in the afternoon, and the sun was no longer shining.

Zhao Xiaoling and her grandmother went to the field to harvest wheat.

When it was almost dark, Zhao Xiaoling went home with her grandmother, and saw someone at the door of her house from a distance.

"Here, Xiaoling is back." Someone shouted.

What's the matter? Zhao Xiaoling frowned.

"Xiaoling, did you tell my family Zhaodi to let her go to school?" Zhao Di Niang greeted her and said in a loud voice.

"What's wrong? Zhao Di Niang? Grandma Zhao said.

"Auntie, tell me, your family is Xiaoling Jingui, you spent so much money to go to school for so many years, and you don't look for your in-laws at the age of sixteen, others can't care about what you do, but don't bewitch my family Zhaodi to be like her! I don't want to put all my wealth in a money-losing person. ”

Grandma Zhao was unhappy, "Zhao Di Niang, what did my Xiao Ling bewitch your family Zhao Di?" You don't talk nonsense. ”

"Xiaoling, you said it yourself, did you encourage my family to go to school? Now that she has stopped doing her work at home, she is clamoring to go to school. Now that I want to harvest wheat, my family is so busy that there is smoke, and she is giving me such a show at this juncture, isn't this adding to the chaos? ”

Being reasonable with people who are different from the three views is like playing the piano to a cow.

Zhao Xiaoling nodded, "I said it yesterday afternoon, a few children asked me to talk about people and things outside, I said let them go to school, after going to school, you will know how wonderful the outside world is." ”

"Why did you let her go to school, you let her go to school, you helped me take care of the children? Or do you do the work for me? Or are you going to send her to school? Zhao Di Niang said angrily.

Zhao Xiaoling felt that she was really lying down and was shot, and yesterday a few little children chattered with her and asked this and that, so she said something like that, and those words were not wrong, but for a woman like Zhao Diniang, her eyes can only see between square inches, and there is no reason to talk about her.

Zhao Xiao looked at Zhao Di who was holding her face and crying on the side, pitiful and helpless.

The little girl was only nine years old, but she did all the housework in the house, took her two younger sisters, took care of her two-year-old brother, did laundry, cooked and fed the pigs, and if she went to school, there was really no one to do these tasks in the family.

Zhao Xiaoling said calmly: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, since I caused the matter, I'll solve it, I'll tell Zhao Di to let her dismiss the idea of going to school."

"Okay, you said, you let her die of this heart, she was born as a girl, just this life, what kind of school, not to mention that the family has no extra money for her to go to school, even if there is, it will not be for her, a girl is blind when she marries after going to school, it is better to help the family before marrying."

Zhao Xiaoling pulled Zhao Di, only to find that she had been beaten to the point that her nose and face were swollen, and she would not give in when she was beaten like this, which showed how much she wanted to go to school.

Zhao Xiaoling didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

She touched the little girl's head, "Zhaodi, why do you want to go to school?" ”

"Didn't you say that after going to school, you can become very powerful, you can see many interesting people and things, and you can live a different life from Zhaojiagou's people?"

Zhao Diniang pouted, "A different life from the people of Zhaojiagou?" What's wrong with Zhaojiagou's life? What's good out there? Criticize and fight every day, divide the fields, how many people starved to death in those years, and how many people died in criticism, only this Mrs. Zhaojiagou is peaceful, how many people envy it! You still envy the people outside, you are pumping your brain. ”

The onlookers also said, "Yes! The life of those people outside is no better than that of Zhaojiagou. Zhao Di, you don't know about a child, don't listen to other people's nonsense. ”
