Chapter 6: Spring Joy
When they reached the ferry, the boatman was walking in the middle of the river, which was not too wide, and it was only half a cup of tea when they went back, but if there were pedestrians on the other side who wanted to cross the river, they would have to wait a little longer.
There is also a knack for crossing the river.
What you fight is your connections, and what you do is that rough and strong style.
All want to cross the river? Okay, whoever is strong will be on it!
The boat could carry four people at most, but at the moment there were no less than four people staying at the ferry.
Lady Yue found a place to sit down, Ah Han stood next to her, and several women with them crowded to the front.
No sooner had the boat reached the shore than a young woman rushed up, and the boat, which had been tossed, was now shaking so much that it almost capsized.
Yue Niangzi was so frightened that her heart trembled.
The woman was strange and measured, and when she first disembarked, she squatted down in the boat, and even the boatman was skillful in propping up the pole into the water.
The others also entered the ship openly and secretly fighting.
The young daughter-in-law who was with Yue Niangzi was also among them.
Yue Niangzi was still in shock, "They...... How has it always been? She asked softly in a low voice.
Ah Han's face turned red, this kind of thing is not worth talking about in the open.
"They all took things to the town to sell, and if they went late, they couldn't grab the popular stalls, and if they couldn't, they would stay until noon...... Those goods can't be sold. He looked over the river, and the boatman had already begun to turn around and return home.
Yue Niangzi tilted her head and was about to ask, "Then won't we be able to sell the goods if we go late?" Before these words came out, they were dispelled by Ah Han.
"Let's go, go forward and wait." Ah Han squeezed into the crowd and motioned for Yue Niangzi to follow. Those women and mothers-in-law are all from this village, and there is a delicate and rich lady in this village, which everyone knows.
I didn't expect that the lady to go to the town with Liu Ahan, I was afraid that it would be ...... Good things are coming.
The eyes of the people around them changed when they looked at the two of them.
Yue Niangzi they easily arrived at the edge of the ferry, the boat stopped, Ah Han first stepped up, put the things down and then made a posture to look at Yue Niangzi, she lifted her skirt and took a gentle step, the boat shook slightly, and she arrived on the boat.
Immediately after them went up were two women, one in front of the other, who must have known each other. The one in front of him stood in the boat and found a place to sit down, and the one behind him was raising his foot, but unexpectedly, a dexterous figure went around the woman's outstretched foot like a snake, and landed firmly on the boat.
When the woman saw that someone had taken her place, she hurriedly pointed her middle finger at the dexterous figure.
Landing on the boat was a girl dressed in a blue-gray coarse cloth short, about eleven or twelve years old, and this one was obviously much thinner than the other girls in the place.
Lady Yue set her eyes on her as soon as she got on the boat.
Where did this little thorn come from? What a mess, he got past the woman and fell into the boat early.
The little prickly head noticed Yue Niangzi's gaze, tilted his head and looked in response, and did not speak. Just when Yue Niangzi thought that she would make a grinning expression for herself, the little prickly head smiled, a little shy, like a fool.
Yue Niangzi also smiled, with a little kindness.
The woman standing outside the boat scolded and scolded, which was nothing more than that the little girl behaved inappropriately and did things in a measured manner.
The woman in the ship did not have a good face, and put most of her goods on the bar for people to sit on.
"Little stammer, I'm a lot late today." The boatman didn't care about the thoughts of the people on the boat, but said to the people on the boat as if he were joking.
Little stammer?
Yue Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and raised her head to look at the stupid woman. I saw that the girl's face was also slightly stunned, and she replied in a slightly embarrassed whisper, "Get up, get up late." ”
The boatman listened to this oh, and then there was a hint of a mocking smile.
"A stutter is a stammer, and I can't even say such a short word." The woman on the side pouted and said angrily, shaking her head as she spoke.
The girl bowed her head and was silent, and the dexterity and strength she had just grabbed another position were long gone, replaced by a submissive look.
Yue Niangzi sat opposite her, naturally seeing that the girl opposite was uncomfortable for a moment when the woman called her "little stammer" just now.
Anyone who is poked in the shortcomings like this will feel uncomfortable, let alone just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.
"What are you calling?" Yue Niangzi sat up straight and asked the girl in front of her.
The girl's body trembled violently, and then she stood still, as if she froze.
"Huh?" She murmured like a kitten, as if she hadn't heard what the pretty lady on the other side was saying.
"What did Lady Yue say to this stammer, she couldn't speak, but the lady should be careful, so as not to be infected by this girl." The woman glanced at the girl with a little meanness, and then fell on the Yue Niangzi. People in the village called her "Little Stammer", and after more than ten years, where would anyone know her name. ”
"It's really a son of a bitch, where is it worthy of her own name, she stammers, it sounds good and fits her characteristics." The woman said to herself, returning the resentment she had just had.
Lady Yue glanced at the woman.
The woman was stunned, and she wanted to say something else but was blocked by Yue Niangzi's glance, just a muffled, heavy "hum".
"What's your name?" She asked again.
The woman looked away.
The girl raised her head and looked at the beautiful lady in front of her, and the boat made a low sound when it came to the shore, and with this sound was a crisp reply.
“…… Spring joy. She said.
Yue Niangzi nodded, "Good name." She said. Then he was ready to stand up and prepare to disembark.
"I call...... Spring joy. She still sat there, persistently.
Yue Niangzi stood on the shore, "I remember." Your name is Chunxi. ”
Yue Niangzi turned around and followed Ah Han, who was standing in front of her, and there was still a persistent voice behind her.
"I call...... Spring joy. ”
"I call...... Spring joy. ”
"I call...... Spring joy. ”
Over and over again, followed by ...... The sobbing sound of a kitten, as well as the sound of the boatman's dry smoke and the scolding of the boatman, the sound of the wind, the sound of water, the sound of pumping, the lady did not dare to look back, and the tip of her nose was a little sour.
"Do you know her name?" Yue Niangzi lowered her head and asked.
Ah Han shook his head, "I don't know. He could see that Mrs. Yue was very interested in this little stammer.
Yue Niangzi lowered her body, so how many years should she be a mute who has been called, and no one in the village knows her original name?
"She also has a father who is a good drinker at home, and she is in a hurry to go to ......the town at the moment," Ah Han sighed, "either to find a doctor or to buy wine." ”
“…… What about her mother? Yue Niangzi looked up and asked.
"I ran away with someone, I should be in the small ...... Haruki ran when he was less than a year old. Even if she didn't run, she had to ask her man to sell her. ”
Yue Niangzi nodded silently, really unable to say anything.
There are so many poor people in the world, she ...... Isn't that one of them?
