Chapter 24: Resentment
Sure enough, the fall of Yu Jincheng means that the hard life of their mother and daughter will come one after another, and they will be bullied even when they return to their hometown.
The land that Wang Fuqiang gave them was the most barren and full of rocks and weeds, and for the same area, it only took them one day, while their mother and daughter estimated that it would take more than two days, but the work they got was only half of them......
However, they couldn't have a rebuttal in front of Wang Fuqiang.
After Wang Fuqiang swayed away, Song Ruixiang raised his sleeves and wiped his tears at that time.
"How are you going to spend this day? I heard that they are barely making ends meet with the food they get in exchange for a year's work, and our mother and wife can't get half of them in a day, so how can the food they get enough to eat at that time? ”
Yu Han frowned, didn't speak, and walked into the bud valley of the weeds with the basket on his back.
As soon as he stretched out his hand and held a bud grain stick, because his hand was not strong, it took a long time to break off a bud grain and throw it into the back basket.
The second root, it didn't take long to break the bud valley.
But because she was not familiar with it, she put her hand between the bud valley and the bud grain pole, and she was immediately clamped, and she immediately retracted her hand in pain.
"Hanhan, are you alright?"
Seeing this, Song Ruixiang hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Yu Han's hand, only to see a trace of bruising on his index finger, obviously blistered with blood.
"Does it hurt? Otherwise, you can stand on the side and watch your mother do it, my mother will do all these jobs, and it won't be difficult for me. As he spoke, he pushed Yu Han to let her rest.
"Mom, I'm fine, let's do it together, it's not too early, do it early, go somewhere else early."
The work is fixed, the work is also fixed, and the sooner they finish it, the sooner they can continue to earn other points, otherwise they will really only starve to death.
When Song Ruixiang heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at the land she had been allocated, and then at the land that the Ye family had allocated not far away, and suddenly felt bitter in her heart.
"I also said that I will take care of us for your father when I come back, I just talked and laughed with the branch secretary, why don't you know how to help us intercede."
"Mom, don't talk about that. When my dad had an accident, it was his duty to help us, and it was his duty not to help. ”
Although Yu Han was also very disappointed in his heart, he still remembered Ye Zhenzhen's words in the end, only he could rely on himself in the end, and what others relied on was called a backer, and he couldn't be forced to come if he didn't have to rely on it.
"But your father tried his best to save him, how could they ......?"
"Mom! If you don't work anymore, the sun will set! ”
Seeing that Song Ruixiang's tone was becoming more and more resentful, Yu Han couldn't help but straighten his face.
Seeing that her daughter was angry, Song Ruixiang finally stopped talking and buried her head in silence.
Soon, the sun climbed to the sky, and the villagers shuttling in the bud valley forest slowly couldn't stand the heat, and slowly walked home with the broken bud valley on their backs.
Yu Han and Song Ruixiang didn't dare to have the idea of going back, even if the corners of their lips were already cracked, the mother and daughter could only lick their lips and grit their teeth to continue drying.
"Hanhan, why don't you go back, it's too dark, and you haven't eaten much in the morning, so you'll be hungry."
Yu Hanzheng felt that his eyes were blurry, and he saw that he couldn't hold the bud grain pole in his hand, but suddenly, he felt a force supporting his shoulder.
"Mom......"
Yu Han was dazzled, thinking that Song Ruixiang was coming.
"Sister Hanhan, it's me, your mouth is dry, I'm afraid you're thirsty, hurry up and drink saliva."
Ye Zhenzhen said, hurriedly unscrewed her kettle and handed it to Yu Han's mouth.
Hearing her familiar voice, Yu Han was slightly stunned.
"Vera?"
It was faint and light, but full of many emotions.
"Sister Hanhan, don't blame my father, he is afraid that he will not use his intercession, but it will make the Wang branch secretary wary of us, and he will not find a chance to help you in the future. Don't be afraid, when you're busy, we'll take the time to help you secretly. ”
Hearing Ye Zhenzhen's explanation, Yu Han's heart suddenly warmed a lot.
was not polite to Ye Zhenzhen, took her kettle and drank it.
The water inside turned out to be sweet and cold.
"The saccharin cold water you packed?"
Yu Han's eyes were slightly bright, and he couldn't help licking the corners of his lips and licking off the water stains hanging on the corners of his mouth.
"Well, this quenches your thirst, go and give it to your aunt to drink, when you're hungry, rest for a while, my milk will go back to the pancakes, and I'll bring them to us later."
Song Ruixiang happened to come over, and saw Ye Chunhua and Zhang Suwen helping her family work, and her pale face said a little excited and ashamed.
"Her uncle, her aunt, you haven't finished your own work yet, why did you come over to help us do it, how embarrassing is this?"
Ye Chunhua looked at her and sighed, "I can't help anything else, I can only make some effort." Sister-in-law, go drink water, Zhenzhen's milk gave her saccharin water to cool and quench her thirst. ”
Yu Han was really hungry, although the mother and daughter still had some money left over to deal with those things at home, but thinking that they would have a hard time in the future, the mother and daughter had already begun to save at this time.
When they got up in the morning, the two of them made the simplest wild vegetable porridge and filled their stomachs.
Zhang Suwen looked at Yu Han's cloudy eyes, and hurriedly asked Ye Zhenzhen to drag her to rest for a while, and the two of them sat in the middle of the ridge and talked without a match.
"Sister Hanhan, in less than a month, I guess I will have to leave, don't be afraid when the time comes, remember to take the initiative to go to my dad for help, do you know?"
Yu Han raised his eyes, his eyes showing surprise.
"Where are you going?"
"I was selected by the Educated Youth Office, and I am about to go to the countryside to join the queue."
"What? That...... So what to do? Do you know where to go? You alone, can you do it? "I thought that when I returned to my hometown, at least there was a friend like Ye Zhenzhen, but I didn't expect to be separated so soon, and Ye Zhenzhen still went to join the queue as an educated youth.
She has never been an educated youth, but she has heard the stories of educated youth.
Those days were not much better than hers.
At least Song Ruixiang and Ye Chunhua are by her side.
Vera will be on her own......
"I don't know where to go, but I'm not afraid, I'm not learning to work. As long as you learn to work, do laundry and cook, life is a little hard, but you can't die of hunger. ”
"That's not good, it's not enough to just know this, when you get outside, you must learn to protect yourself, I heard ......"
Thinking that Ye Zhenzhen was leaving, Yu Han suddenly opened the conversation box, racking his brains and throwing all the things he had heard about educated youth to Ye Zhenzhen.
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen was moved.
"Sister Hanhan, when I'm gone, you must not give up on yourself, you know? I will write to you, you have to write back to me, just ask my dad to send it to me, our days will not be too easy, but we can encourage each other, accompany each other, believe me, after the storm, there will be a rainbow. ”
