"Auntie, what are you?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at them with questioning eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two widows pushed each other, and finally the tall and thin middle-aged widow said: "Young master, you just came back, the home is deserted, no one can take care of it, these two girls in our family are idle, so let them come over and serve the young master." It's good to have a warm kang head at night. ”

"......" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the two simple girls with blushing faces, smiled helplessly, and said: "Auntie, this has all been reformed and opened up, but there is no grandfather and maid." I appreciate the kindness, but the two younger sisters should let them go back! ”

"This ......" the two widows looked embarrassed, and the two girls bowed their heads gloomily.

Seeing that they didn't move, Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "Auntie, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Hearing Zuo Xiaoyou's question, the two widows looked at each other and knelt down for Zuo Xiaoyou with a plop.

"Ouch, auntie, what are you doing here? Get up. Zuo Xiaoyou hurriedly pulled the arms of the two of them, but the two widows didn't get up anything, with a thick pleading, and said: "Young master, we know that we shouldn't, but for the sake of our own daughter, we can only do this, please, give these two girls a chance!" ”

"If you get up and talk about anything, you will kneel down again and don't talk about anything." Zuo Xiaoyou said in a somewhat serious tone.

The two widows were afraid that Zuo Xiaoyou would be angry, so they quickly stood up and stood aside timidly.

Zuo Xiaoyou sat down on the chair, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "Sit down!" ”

"Thank you, young master." The two widows dragged their daughters and sat down.

Zuo Xiaoyou looked at them and said, "I just came back, and there is no hot water at home......

"I'm going to burn it." One widow stood up and ran to the kitchen, and the other widow was not to be left behind, and hurriedly said, "There is no firewood at home, I'll go get some firewood." ”

"Hey, auntie......" Zuo Xiaoyou didn't have time to stop it, and the two widows ran out, leaving only the two girls in the same room with him, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

There is no way, the two widows are so attentive, they must ask for a lot, so he will accept this hospitality for the time being!

Retracting his gaze, he turned to the faces of the two girls. The two girls seemed to be a little cramped, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and they looked a little funny. Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"I ...... My name is Li Fang. The girl with a single braided braid said.

"My name is Wang Fang." The girl with double braids said.

"......" heard the names of the two, Zuo Xiaoyou remembered the song "Xiao Fang", there is a girl in the village named Xiao Fang, who is good-looking and kind, with a pair of beautiful big eyes, thick and long braids......

Two Xiaofang came out at once today, and sure enough, there are so many girls named Xiaofang in the village.

"How old are you this year?" Left and right asked.

"I'll be seventeen in the New Year." Li Fang said.

"I'm sixteen." Wang Fang said.

The New Year is one year old, it is said that it is a virtual year, and many places in the north are actually counted as virtual years, because the virtual years are easy to calculate, and the New Year will rise by one year, and the first year will wait until the birthday to be the age dividing line, so there are likely to be two ages in a year, maybe fifteen years old in the first half of the year, and sixteen years old in the second half of the year. Only the birthday of the first day of the Lunar New Year is excluded, and it must be counted as the lunar birthday, if you have a Gregorian birthday since birth, it doesn't matter if it is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Fang is seventeen years old, but if she counts her as one year old, she is definitely less than sixteen. In the same way, Wang Fang is 16 years old, and she is less than 15 years old. In the city, it's just two children in junior high school.

However, they looked younger than their age and looked malnourished. This can't be helped, just a few years after WG ended, they came over in that era since they were children, and it was difficult to eat a full stomach, let alone nutrition. Fortunately, there are a lot of wild vegetables, mushrooms and other edible things in the mountains, plus the remoteness of this place, which is not as affected by WG as big as in big cities, so it finally made it difficult for the two girls to survive.

"Then I'll call you Da Fang and Xiao Fang!" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.

The two girls replied with a blushing face.

The two girls are quite introverted. Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and asked about the lives of the two girls. Both girls' fathers died when they were very young, and they were influenced by the glory days of duck eggs, so the two girls never read since they were young, and they couldn't write at all except their own names, and they were completely illiterate. Because the family is poor, from a very young age, the two girls will help the family work, not to mention cooking on the fire, and going into the mountains every day to pick mushrooms, wild vegetables, pigweed, and so on. In the past three years, thanks to Yan Zhen's care, both families have bought two piglets, and by raising pigs, they can eat a bite of meat every year during the Chinese New Year, and their family life has also been improved to a certain extent.

Now, although the two girls are not yet the legal age for marriage, the conditions in the mountains are difficult, and the laws outside do not work here at all. Orphans and widows, the family really needs a man to help them, otherwise a lot of heavy physical work can only be done by mothers and daughters, which is too tiring.

After listening to the two girls' stories, Zuo Xiaoyou's mood was a little heavy, and he was more helpless about this era. Poor! Not only small places are poor, but even countries are poor. In the first 20 years of reform and opening up, the national finances were pitiful, and in order to make money, they could only swallow their anger in the international arena and play the role of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for 30 years, which led to the prosperity and strength of the previous life.

Being born in this era is the misfortune of the country and the misfortune of the nation, but it is the people who work hard in this unfortunate era that will bring the proud prosperity of the great country to future generations.

Zuo Xiaoyou once saw an interview in his previous life, interviewing an old man, asking him why he went from not having enough food and not being warm to what he wants to eat and what he wants to wear, and never worry about money? The old man's words made Zuo Xiaoyou's heart very sad: "Why? Because I have suffered two lifetimes in my life. ”

Later, some people concluded that everything you get is not taken for granted, but someone carries the weight for you.

Even if it is a post-80s generation, or even a part of the post-90s, it is not that they have not suffered since childhood, and the children who have never suffered are basically post-00s. Why haven't you suffered? It is because there are generations of people who have carried the burden for you before you, and this is the environment in which you can enjoy happiness.

Zuo Xiaoyou looked at Da Fang and Xiao Fang in front of him, and sighed in his heart: You are also the generation that moves forward with a heavy load!

Not long after, the two widows returned with boiling water and washed white porcelain cups.

"Young master, you drink water."

"Thank you." Placing the white porcelain cups on the table, after they had poured them and the two girls, they asked, "Auntie, what can you say?" First of all, if it is not difficult, I can help you, but if it is too difficult, I can't help it. ”

"Young Master, this matter is definitely not difficult for you." The two widows hurriedly said, "If it is difficult, we will not ask the young master for it." ”

"That's good." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and said, "Say it!" What's up? ”

"Actually......" The two widows looked at each other's daughters, and said, "It's all for these two girls." ”

After the two widows' narration, Zuo Xiaoyou understood. It turned out that Da Fang and Xiao Fang were almost looking for their in-laws' family in this poor place, and the two widows really wanted to find a capable young man to help them bear some family burdens. But in the past year, I have been picking and choosing, and I found that capable young men have long been targeted by others, and those who are not very capable also have a lot of pickable girls. This era is not like later generations, there are more men and fewer women, in this era, because the war has never gone away, so the number of men is much less than that of women, plus the country in this era is still dominated by farming, there is more heavy physical work, and men are the main labor force, so as long as it is not too bad for men, it is basically easy to find a partner. And the woman's family is not too picky.

Although Da Fang and Xiao Fang are quite handsome, in this era, the first thing a man looks at when choosing a partner is not his face, but whether he can do it. In terms of ability, although Da Fang and Xiao Fang are not bad, but because they are good-looking since childhood, the two girls are much taller than ordinary girls. They all want to find a good one who can do it, but this kind of young man is basically picked clean, and the two girls who are almost unhappy are not happy, and with the reform and opening up, the village chief has a TV at home. By watching TV, the two girls saw the excitement of the outside world, and that heart couldn't stay in the village, so the two girls had the idea of going out.

But the two widows wanted to go because of their two daughters, but the two widows refused to agree to live or die. Until Zuo Xiaoyou came back today, the two widows saw Zuo Xiaoyou return to their hometown, and they seemed to mix very well, plus the thoughts of the two girls, so they came to the door today, hoping that Zuo Xiaoyou could find a way out for the two girls.

After listening to their story, Zuo Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I thought it was something, it turned out that I wanted to go out to work!" ”

"Uh-huh." Da Fang and Xiao Fang nodded again and again: "Young Master, you are so good outside, can you take us with you?" If we have a chance in the future, we will not forget your kindness. ”

"Don't say that." He waved his hand left and right, and his fingers tapped on the table and began to think.

The two girls are so old, and they are both illiterate, what can they do even if they go out? I guess it's working as a waiter in a restaurant, or washing dishes in the back kitchen. If you mix well, you will be a nanny, and it's still the kind of person who takes care of the elderly and children during the day and the male owner at night. There were so many nannies who were overbelly in the eighties and nineties that I can't count them. If the life is better, the male owner may marry them, and if the life is not good, he can only go back to his hometown with a big belly, and then find a man who is not very good to marry, and the rest of his life is very miserable.

Zuo Xiaoyou sighed, it would be nice if the two girls could read and write. As long as you know how to read, you can do some small business, and then accumulate money little by little, and slowly open a small shop, if you are lucky, you may be able to do more and more in the future. But this must be supported by a certain level of education, and the rich who are uneducated can only be regarded as nouveau riche, and if they don't do well, they will be defrauded of their property, and there are too many such cases.

Zuo Xiaoyou thought about it, but couldn't think of any good way out for the two girls: "If you have a primary school education, it's easy to say, but you can't read, it's not easy to do." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou's words suddenly made the hearts of the two mothers and daughters tighten, and the two widows hurriedly asked: "If you don't know how to read, you can't find a job?" ”

"It's not." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "I can definitely find a job, but it is the hardest and most tiring job, there is no future at all, and it is easy to fall ill." After a pause: "Even the best is to be a nanny for someone else's house." ”

"It's okay to be a babysitter!" The two girls hurriedly said: "We are not afraid of hardship, we are not afraid of tiredness, we can do anything." ”

"Hehe......" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and shook his head: "The nanny is good, but the nanny who is generally not bad is easy to be targeted by the male owner of the family, what if you are made to have a big belly?" Not only will they not be responsible, but they will also kick you out, and how can you reason with a big stomach when the time comes? Is the child alive after birth? ”

“……”

The two widows' faces turned white, and they shook their heads again and again: "That can't be done, that can't be done." ”

"So be it!" Zuo Xiaoyou thought about it again and said: "Auntie, if you can trust me, when I go back after the New Year, I will take them to the capital, and then they will live in my house first, I will teach them to read and write, and when they have a certain cultural foundation, I will find them some suitable jobs, even if they can't be rich and expensive in the future, at least they can eat and wear without worry, if they can find a partner in the capital, they can settle their household registration in the capital in the future, and there is a good way out." What do you think? ”

"Really!?" The two pairs of mother and daughter were pleasantly surprised, "Can you really leave your household registration in the capital?" ”

"Hehe, you'll have to find the right one." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the two girls and said with a smile: "But Da Fang and Xiao Fang are both good-looking, and it is not difficult to find a partner." The words made the two girls blush, but Zuo Xiaoyou added: "But the capital is a place where laws and regulations are spoken, and the two girls are not enough to find a partner before they are 20 years old, you two must not be in a hurry to marry yourself, just find a partner casually, and then you will only lose both people and money." ”

The two girls nodded hurriedly: "Young master, we all listen to you." ”

"Then let's do it first!" Zuo Xiaoyou saw that the sky had already darkened, and said, "It's not early, you guys go back!" After the New Year, I will take you to the capital. ”

"Thank you, young master, then let's go back first." The two mothers and daughters got up and left with a thousand thanks.

Sending off the two pairs of mother and daughter, Zuo Xiaoyou closed the door, baked the kang hot, cooked two packets of instant noodles, read a book for a while, and slowly fell asleep.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, early in the morning, some villagers came to visit the door one after another. Rich people always come and go in their homes, although there is no money on the left and right, but in this era, in this small mountain village, he is indeed the richest, but also the most promising, and now it is almost the New Year, and the villagers will come to hang out, lively and lively. But many of these villagers wanted to take advantage, such as borrowing money from him, or asking him to help find a way to make a fortune, which made him sneer again and again.
