Chapter 12: The Sister Section
"The bracelet can't be given, the palms and backs of the four girls are full of meat. Kehua is the smallest, originally planned to be given to her, if you make such a fuss, then leave it to Keqin, she is not married, and she will leave you a maiden household. Mother said.
"Why give Keqin, it's amazing for her to stay at home to recruit relatives?"
"If that's the case, then I'll not give anybody."
No one gives? Do you want to keep it and bring it into the coffin?"
You dead girl, a sin made in heaven, why did you raise you white-eyed wolf? If I had known you were like this, I should have drowned you in the laundry pond at the door. ”
After all, my mother didn't give the bracelet to my eldest sister. The eldest sister's bracelet didn't arrive, and her relationship with us became even weaker. After this incident, we all knew that my mother had a pair of silver bracelets. She said that it was handed down by her ancestors, and the silver bracelet with dragon and phoenix patterns has always been passed down to her daughter. Silver can suppress evil spirits and has the meaning of warding off evil spirits and protecting oneself.
Later, everyone was afraid of making my mother angry, and the second sister, Keshu and I stopped mentioning the silver bracelet. I didn't take it to heart, and I was still selling loose hair little by little to save money to make dresses.
One day, after I had finished selling my pine hair, the buyer was a kind middle-aged woman, and she led me into her house, stared at me for a while, and sympathized with me, and gave me two large apples as she left.
At that time, there was a shortage of supplies, apples were a rarity, and with the money I had saved, I was almost able to make clothes, so I was very happy. I was reluctant to eat two apples with my hand, so I was going to go home and cut them into small pieces for everyone to taste.
On the way back, I ran into Chenyang again and took his hitchhiker back.
"You sell pine hair every day?"
"If you want to save money, you can't run every day.
"What do you do with your savings?"
"I don't have any money to make clothes, so I can only earn it myself.
Chenyang smiled, his eyes were crooked, his eyelashes were deep and long, and his eyes were dark and bright when he smiled.
"Hurry up Ming'er, I'll make you a set?" He smiled at me.
Boys like to say things like that when they flirt, but I'm serious.
"Nonsense, what do you mean by making me clothes? Just this 'hitchhiking' relationship? I save money to do it myself, and being a man means relying on myself to be practical.
The smile on Chenyang's face was gone, but my face was flushed, and I took out a red apple in my pocket, wiped it on my clothes, and handed it to him.
"Keep it for yourself."
Seeing that he was polite to me, I hardened my tone and said, "You have to be polite to me, next time I won't take your car."
Chenyang heard me say this and took the apple.
At noon that day, instead of going home, I went with Chenyang to the state-owned brick factory in the east of town. He took me on a tour of the kiln factory and the transport team, and took me to the canteen for lunch at noon. I was very embarrassed that day, and I ate a big bowl of rice with braised pork and 17 dumplings.
The master of Chenyang's unit made fun of me, saying that if Chenyang married me, the entire canteen of the brick factory would be emptied by me. I rolled my eyes at the master who was joking with me, only to catch a glimpse of Chenyang blushing and smiling.
After eating, the sky changed, the dark clouds were black, and the summer rainstorm was coming. The morning sun sent me home, and the clouds were getting more and more, and the thunder began to sound. Chenyang took my hand and ran, it was the first time I grabbed a boy's hand, and I felt the difference between men and women. The man's hand is wide and hard, and once the woman's hand is not shaken off in time and let him hold it, it will be difficult to pull it out again.
When I got home, my mother Keshu and my nephew Ying Ying were lying on the cool bed. Ying Ying is the son of the second sister Keqi, who is only five years old. But Qi and her man grinded beans in the tofu factory of the brigade during the day, and they couldn't pull away, and their mother helped her win at home every day. On the eve of the rainstorm, it was so stuffy that none of the three of them fell asleep.
