It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Duoduo returned to the Peach Blossom Village of the Xiangyang Brigade, and she saw the faint light in the small window of the low hut next to her earthen embryo house, and her heart was warm.

Duoduo's mother Lin Yongfang heard the sound of the tractor and hurriedly walked out of the hut, seeing that it was really Duoduo, she was overjoyed, and as soon as Duoduo stopped the tractor, she couldn't wait to walk quickly, and asked: "Why did you come back so late, I'm about to die of my mother." ”

She knew that Duoduo didn't like her dad and wouldn't stay overnight at her dad's.

Duoduo jumped off the tractor, hugged her mother and kissed her fiercely, and blinked mysteriously: "I'm busy picking up money today, so I'm coming back late." ”

Although Lin Yongfang has a deep relationship with Duoduo's mother and son, she has never seen her so intimate with herself, she is a little unaccustomed to it, she pushed her away, and asked puzzledly: "Pick up money?" I was afraid that Duoduo was not deeply involved in the world, and there were many bad people in the city, and Duoduo would be taken advantage of, so I asked nervously: "What kind of money to pick up?" I guess I was coaxed to do something bad outside. She stared at Duoduo solemnly and warned her: "We can't ask for unclean money." ”

"I know." Duoduo dragged the six canvas bags off the tractor, and saw the third brother Tao Aijia also come out of the thatched house, and shouted, "Third brother, help quickly, bring these bags to the house." ”

Tao Aijia walked over, and Lin Yongfang and Duoduo carried a few canvas bags to the thatched house, Tao Aijia asked as he walked: "What is inside, so heavy." ”

Duoduo grinned and said, "It's all good things." ”

Duoduo's family has three main houses, which were newly built when the eldest brother got married two years ago, and when they used to live with their grandparents, the five brothers and sisters lived in a thatched house with their mother, while the grandparents and the three uncles lived in one main house.

The adobe bricks used in Duoduo's new house were rammed out by Duoduo, her mother and several brothers, and they didn't hire craftsmen to build the house.

One of the three rooms in the middle made a hall house, which was a place to eat and entertain guests, and the other two rooms were given to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the other was later given to the second brother and sister-in-law.

Duoduo's father Tao Chengan served as a soldier in Beijing, because he was handsome, so he was selected to be a national defense soldier, and he read a private school for a few years when he was a child, and he recognized some words, so when he changed jobs, he did not return to the countryside like other rural soldiers, but was made an exception and was assigned to work in a large state-owned unit in the provincial capital, so he was a small cadre, but he came back little, even if he came back, he always had endless words with Duoduo's grandmother Li Chunhua and Duoduo's uncle and third uncle's family, and his wife and children were like outsiders in his eyes, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them, the salary is never used by his wife and children, but every time he comes back, Lin Yongfang is very good to Tao Chengan, and he cooks food for him alone, and several children are also driven by her to live in other villagers' houses for a few days.

The mother and son entered the house, and when the younger sister Tao Aiyun heard the voice, she also struggled to get up from the bed and walked outside, and Duoduo asked with concern: "Yunyun, are you better today?" ”

My sister was in good health when she was born, and at that time, Duoduo's aunt Qin Weihong also gave birth to a son in the same year, three months older than Aiyun.

Duoduo's grandmother Li Chunhua has always disliked Duoduo's mother in this life, because Duoduo's mother has many sisters and is very poor, and her mother always helps her mother's family from time to time, so she is hated by her mother-in-law.

Lin Yongfang gave birth to her little daughter before she was in confinement, so Li Chunhua rushed her to work, saying that she would help her take care of the child.

Li Chunhua prefers sons over daughters, and every time he takes the children born to his two daughters-in-law to the field to breastfeed their mothers, he holds Tao Zhenghai, the grandson born to the eldest daughter-in-law, in his arms, and puts Lin Yongfang's granddaughter Tao Aiyun on the grass between the ridges.

The summer meadow is very prickly for a child who can not sit steadily for the moon, at that time the rural people were very poor, do not make summer clothes for the little baby, the little Aiyun is always pierced wow wow crying, Li Chunhua never ignored it, every time he will send a bowl of egg custard, but only for the eldest daughter-in-law to eat, Duoduo's mother never thought of a bite.

The people in the village couldn't stand it anymore, so they said that Li Chunhua had gone too far, saying that girls couldn't put it directly on the grass, at least they had to put a piece of cloth under their buttocks, otherwise it would be bad to be stuck in the grass to their private parts, and her grandson could be placed on the grass at will, but she was afraid that her grandson would be pierced.

In addition, in winter, Li Chunhua always put Xiao Aiyun in open crotch pants on the cold stone and left it alone, because he has been neglecting to take care of it, Tao Aiyun's health slowly became very poor, and he got sick at every turn, which was also a big burden for Duoduo's poor family.

Duoduo went to the city yesterday to sell peaches with Accountant Zheng, and when she left, Aiyun was having a fever, and the children in the countryside would not go to the doctor if they had a fever, so drink some ginger soup and slowly drag it out.

Duoduo is particularly distressed by this frail sister because of the memory of the original owner.

Aiyun moved a small bench and sat down by herself, and replied, "Much better." ”

looked up at Duoduo as if he didn't know it, and asked with a smile: "Why does my sister call me Yunyun?" ”

Duoduo was slightly stunned, the original owner used to call her sister Aiyun, although she had the memory of the original owner, but she had her own habits, and generally called the name of someone younger than herself was called a stacked sound.

She explained unnaturally: "I heard others shouting girls' names in the city, such as Honghong and Yuanyuan, which are better than shouting Xiaohong and Xiaoyuan, so I call you Yunyun, don't you think it's better than shouting Aiyun?" ”

Tao Aijia said with a smile: "Yunyun is better than Aiyun, and I will also call my little sister Yunyun in the future." ”

Tao Aiyun was a little shy, a little excited, and smiled silently.

Duoduo glanced at Aiping, her face was red and bright, but her lips, which should have been bright, were not bloody, and the color on her face was very abnormal, so she said: "Wait a few days, I will take you to a big hospital for an examination and see what the disease is." ”

Lin Yongfang looked at her little daughter distressedly, and sighed sadly: "Your sister is going to a big hospital for examination, but how can the family have money." ”

Duoduo smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, mom, about money, I have it." ”

Lin Yongfang thought she was talking about driving a tractor in the team to earn work: "You have to treat your grandmother with that money, and you have to pay off the debts owed by your eldest brother and second brother to marry his daughter-in-law." Besides, your third brother is going to repeat his senior year of high school entrance examination this year, and there are too many places to use money, where can you save more to see your sister. ”
