Chapter 3 On Own
Webster was still spinning cotton at the gate, and today he was a little calmer than yesterday, and when he saw his son and nephew, he still hurriedly got up to pack up the spinning wheel.
"Mother! Today, we collected more, we bought more than 40 catties of bread of cereal noodles, and our family can eat sticky cakes. ”
Last night, Webster only posted six, which were the dry food for the brothers and sisters today, and she was at home, eating steamed buns mixed with most of the wild vegetables. Maybe it's because they have eaten too many wild vegetables, and the faces of the family are all green and yellow, especially Webster's.
remembered that a while ago, Wei sold the only grain in the house to hire a doctor for himself, Wen Jin's heart was agitated, this person is really not ordinarily good, and the second uncle is not at home, as long as she pretends to be negligent, her little life will be over.
Wen Jin is not an ignorant child, from the day she woke up, she thought about how to repay this kindness, at this moment, she waved her fist at the air, work hard, not only to change her fate, but also to make the second half of Wei's life, worry-free, happy and healthy.
For the next two days, they were lucky enough to enter a pine forest, and every day they could pick a basket full of pine seeds. The shoulders were worn out, Wen Han and Wen Jin wrapped the back basket around their bodies with rattan ropes, Wei Shi saw it, tears were in his eyes, and Chai Dongsheng changed his tone when he spoke: "Those two boys in our family, if they can have the ruthlessness of the little Xiucai brothers, they will be able to do it." ”
"Alas, half of it is done!" Sun Chengwang also sighed, he had a daughter, and he had a son in the end, and he was used to being like a young master.
Da Shanbo looked at them: "This kid, you still have to study, you know the reason!" ”
"Yes! Be! Sir's board can educate people. Sun Chengwang picked up.
"It's not that Mr.'s board is powerful, it's that our father and mother have to be able to be, and they can't be pampered." Da Shanbo's words made Sun Chengwang shut up.
The rice jar and noodle urn at home are all full, hehe, Wen Han and Wen Jin are so happy that they can't keep their mouths together.
"Our urns are too small." Wen Han regretted.
"It's okay, it's okay if you have money." Wen Jin comforted.
"Hey, hey, hey"
Since Wen Jin came here, Wen Han frowned all day long, at a young age, he looked like an old man, and now he smiled, Wen Jin found that he was actually very handsome, like his aunt's eyebrows and eyes, and like the Qian family, with very white skin.
Next, Wen Jin left a handful of mountain goods every night, walnuts, pine seeds, chestnuts and other dried fruits, rich in protein and vitamins, just the family's urgently needed nourishment.
On this day, because I had walked far, it was already dark when I came back, and I saw that Webster did not look at the gate. Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps the second aunt was used to this kind of life and was no longer so worried and anxious.
"Mother, we're back." Wen Han's voice revealed joy, there was an income every day, and the life at home was finally not so embarrassing, a little boy, a great sense of accomplishment.
Hey, what's wrong with the second aunt? Wen Jin walked in the door and found that the atmosphere was wrong, it turned out that there were guests. This guest, Wen Jin was very impressed by her, it was the eldest aunt Jiao next door.
"Wencai's favorite thing to eat is tender walnuts, these two are brothers, they go up the mountain every day, none of them think about their younger brother, and they haven't even sent one, hum!" Jiao Shi saw the walnuts in Wen Jin's back basket and said very dissatisfied.
Why are things that ask for people so justified? Wen Jin slandered in her stomach.
Webster's expression was sneering, his hands were twisted together, he was speechless, and he looked very sorry for others.
Seeing Wen Jin looking at the two of them in a daze, Jiao Shi was even more angry, and snorted heavily, Wei Shi seemed to have come to his senses, and hurriedly told Wen Jin: "Jin'er, give the walnuts to your aunt." ”
Wen Jin originally wanted to refuse immediately, but seeing the expressions of several people in this courtyard, knowing that no one supported him when he said "no", his eyes rolled and he changed his mind.
"Auntie, Wencai's younger brother likes to eat, why didn't you say it earlier? I'll send it to you. ”
"No, I'll take it myself."
"The back basket is mud and dirt, and the little heart has clothes, so I'll give it away."
Jiao Shi blinked his eyes and said resolutely: "I'll take it." ”
Wen Jin said with a sigh: "The back basket is tied to the body, and it is very slow to untie it......" She rubbed desperately, but she refused to take the back basket off.
It's dinner time, if Wen Jin passes, Jiao's at least has to give a gift in return, right? Even if it's a cornmeal sticker, it's not so much of a loss.
Wen Jin's mother, He's family, has a fight with the treacherous of this eldest aunt, the two have always been on the tip of the needle, and of course Jiao's tightened Wen Jin's mention, and the two of them were consumed.
Wei felt sorry for the child, and knew that the food next door was much better than hers, and Jiao would definitely not stay to eat, so he kept making Wen Jin happy.
Jiao's thought was crooked: "Wen Jin wants to go to the uncle's house?" ”
Wen Jin raised her eyebrows happily and said, "Well, the eldest uncle's family eats better than the second uncle's family, and I have lived in the second uncle's house for more than a month-" It means that she should live in the eldest uncle's house for a while.
She is an orphan, and the two uncles are alternately raised, which should have been.
Wei didn't expect Wen Jin to say this, and lowered his head a little sadly, and Wen Han also showed a disappointed look.
Jiao's reaction was the most violent, and she almost jumped up: "You are dreaming!" A few rotten walnuts, I thought of my family to eat and drink......" As soon as the voice came out, I knew that she was fooled, she was here to ask for walnuts, and now the purpose can't be achieved anyway, so angry that she stomped her feet and scolded, "It's a cheap billet like your mother, and you just want to mess with other people's things-"
"Who's coming to who's house? Did I go to your house to mess around? Shameless-"Silent people are the easiest to hurt people, not to mention that in the memory of the owner, her mother fought against her aunt like this, Wen Jin said this, it is not shocking."
Wei rushed up and covered Wen Jin's mouth, and Wen Han also came over and pulled Wen Jin into the house.
Jiao Shi snorted, rushed over and wanted to hit Wen Jin, but was stopped by Wei Shi: "His aunt, what are you angry with the child, people outside heard it, they should say that we are not right, she has no father and no mother, and she is also a poor person." ”
Jiao Shi was indignant, but when he saw someone at the door probing his brain to see the excitement, he had to give up, turned his head to Wei Shi and said, "Turn back, you send it over." ”
"......" Before Wei could speak, Wen Jin roared: "No!" This is what I picked! ”
"Look, look, whose food is it? Wear who's? Who feeds you? I have no conscience to be so pretentious! The second family, such a person, you dare to raise. Jiao angrily complained to Webster.
This woman is so vicious, Wen Jin has brought a lot of trouble to Wei, originally in the past few days, she has worked hard to catch up with the mountain, just to make Weishi not think that she is a burden, but these few words immediately remind people of a few days ago, she was sick and weak, and the second uncle's family was quite affected by this.
Fortunately, Jiao faced Merriam-Webster. A daughter of a talented woman who has heard since she was a child is "the old and the old, the young and the young", she supports Wen Jin, not in return.
Wei Shi was not angry at all, and persuaded Jiao Shi: "Don't be angry, she is still a child!" ”
"Hmph, get used to her!" didn't get the walnuts, and he was angry, Jiao had never suffered such a big loss, so he turned around and left angrily.
Wen Jin took off the basket, walked outside the kitchen, found a big stone to cushion, and crackled walnuts with a small stone.
"Wen Jin, isn't it just a few bites of walnuts? If you don't eat, it's indispensable, Wencai is still young, so let it be given to him. Merriam-Webster persuaded.
"Why let him? When I was sick, my aunt refused to give me a grain of rice, and it was so reasonable to take other people's things? Wen Jin continued to smash.
Wei shook his head helplessly: "This child, your aunt is such a person, don't be like her." ”
"Second aunt, how old is she? If she still wants me to let her, she might as well find a rope and hang herself, shame on her! ”
"Wen Jin!" Merriam-Webster's tone was a little harsh.
Wen Jin washed half a bowl of walnut kernels and poured it into the porridge pot that Webster was boiling with an expressionless face.
"You kid!" Webster was really angry, and his face was very serious.
"Second aunt, you know that my body is still weak, and the doctor asked me to replenish it, but I can't hold on to it if I don't eat better every day."
Seeing her nephew's thin appearance, with a dish-colored face and sunken cheeks, Webster sighed deeply, no matter how virgin she is, she can't ask her nephew to let the food in her mouth, right?
Wei Shi looked at his son, Wen Han was a little angry, but he obediently lowered his head, he was going to give the fruits of his labor to the next door tomorrow.
Jiao's is too treacherous, Wei's is too good, no wonder his mother-in-law He wants to remarry, such a family, a lonely mother and daughter, it is indeed not easy. Wen Jin silently helped Webster light the fire, but her heart was jumping and flying like the flames, and it was difficult to calm down.
According to Webster's temperament, there are mountains of gold and silver at home, and she can also make people empty.
The second uncle, who is more cowardly than Webster's temperament, his father has been away from home for many years, and now it is rumored that he has died in Huangquan, no wonder the family property is occupied by the boss, alas! In the future, if this family wants to get better, they will have to rely on themselves, Wen Jin clenched his little fists!
