Ning Guang didn't react when he fell into the water, and it was only when he was suffocating that he felt the threat of death and instinctive fear - this feeling didn't last long, because Zhao Jianguo jumped into the water and pulled her up.

Adolescent boys have already shown gender advantages, enough to put Ningguang's topless water level, for Zhao Jianguo, it is just tiptoe to breathe through his nose, Ningguang's whole person is still dripping clothes, and she has not loosened the basket, the boy just took a deep breath and pushed hard, and pushed Ningguang, who was weak in his hands and feet, onto the floor.

"Just now, Xiaoliang and they came over to play with glass beads, and some of them may have fallen and been stepped on by you." He climbed up the stairs, wiped the water on his face, and suddenly spoke, sullen, not as calm as before, "You find a place to hide, I have to wash these clothes before leaving." ”

Ning Guang looked at him blankly, "oh" a few times and then grabbed the basket and left, after walking a few steps, he finally came back to his senses, and quickly stopped, if this situation was seen in the village, it would not cause a discussion. She was hesitating to go there, when Zhao Jianguo's voice came from behind her, asking her to stay in the haystack group not far away, which was also the place where Zhao Jianguo suggested that Ningguang spend the night a few years ago.

It's just that after she got inside, she calmed down a little bit, and she began to feel cold.

This is not surprising, this season is already about to enter winter, Ning Guang is wearing sandwich clothes, and now it is wet and dripping, can he not feel cold?

But she didn't have anything else to do, today's accident was too sudden, it was really thanks to Zhao Jianguo's presence and didn't stand by, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to climb up from the water on her own...... Ning Guang was trembling, and he thought uneasily, could it be that the retribution he wanted to drown Ning Zong in before was not over?

She wanted to do it that day, but because Ning Yuemei let Ning Zong go, she was almost drowned today, because Zhao Jianguo survived, this is a warning to herself not to have bad intentions?

But it is clear that Mrs. Chu, Ning Fulin and Ning Zong have bullied her too many times!

Why didn't they receive retribution?!

Ning Guang felt that it was really unfair in the dark!

She paced back and forth in a small area enclosed by the haystack, jumping, trying to keep warm in this way, but it didn't work, Ning Guang began to be annoyed, she saw the puddle of water when she walked up to the floor, why didn't she take a closer look? If you had seen glass beads there, wouldn't it have been?

Now people are trapped here and dare not enter the village, and their clothes have not been washed...... How will I go back later? How do you explain when you go back?

Ning Guang couldn't help but shed tears, she didn't understand that she had already lived so hard, why did such an unlucky thing happen to her?

At this time, she even resented Zhao Jianguo's rescue, and it seemed easier to drown in the pond like that.

Zhao Jianguo came over at this time, he didn't have any expression on his face, and after he walked in, he pulled a few bundles of straw from the nearby haystack, skillfully built a small shed, and then lit a fire.

"You bake your clothes, the wind direction at this time, the people in the village should not come to see." Then he lowered his head and said to Ning Guang, "You can go out when your clothes are dry." ”

After a pause, he said, "I'll show you something outside, and I'll cough when someone comes over." ”

Without waiting for Ning Guang to say anything, he walked out.

…… On this day, Ningguang went home more than an hour later than usual, and after returning home, he didn't bother to dry his clothes, so he went directly into his house and changed his clothes before coming out.

Ning Yue, who was repairing some farm tools in the yard, saw it, so she spat on the ground with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and scolded Huai loudly, saying that some people are shameless at a young age, and they have to change their clothes twice a day when they work at home, they are just a bitch!

Ning Guang didn't make a sound, because she was embarrassed to take off her clothes and bake them, she could only put her whole body on the fire, almost burned her hair, and she didn't have the heart to dry it all, she just looked at the clothes and went out without dripping, thanked Zhao Jianguo, hurriedly washed her clothes, and of course changed into dry clothes immediately after coming back, otherwise she would get sick.

When you get sick, you hear more nasty words.

For this reason, Ning Guang also took the opportunity to cook pig food and quietly stewed a bowl of ginger soup for himself.

It may be that she coped with the law, and she was still fine when she woke up the next day, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

After lunch, Ning Guang returned to his room, looked at the clothes he had changed yesterday by the bed, hesitated for a while, but still found a basket to pack them up, and planned to take them to the dock to wash.

She thought about it when she went out, and in the end she tiptoed two eggs from the basket where the eggs were kept at home and secretly stuffed them into the dirty clothes.

The chickens, ducks and geese at home are all served by Ningguang, and she collects how many eggs she lays every day. In the past few years, Mrs. Chu would check every day, scolding and scolding her for hiding or stealing food. In the past few years, the old woman has probably been old, and her mind has been focused on Ning Zong's studies again, so she doesn't check much anymore - it may also be because Ning Guang has never eaten or hidden, and she feels that this great-granddaughter naturally does not have the courage to do so.

When Ning Guang carried the basket to the dock, Zhao Jianguo was not here, which surprised her, but she thought that Zhao Jianguo had to do it himself just because Mu Yan ran away with someone and no one helped him wash his clothes.

So you don't need to run over and wash things every day.

She felt a little embarrassed, she knew she wouldn't steal the eggs, and now she had to go back and find a way to avoid the eyes and ears of the family and return the eggs.

As a result, when she was almost washing her clothes, Zhao Jianguo actually came over, carrying a wooden bucket in her hand, and there were some towels and the like in the bucket.

He glanced at Ning Guang and didn't speak, as if yesterday's scene hadn't happened at all.

But Ning Guang couldn't pretend that it hadn't happened, so he shook off the water in his hand, took the eggs from the basket, and whispered, "Thank you...... Don't be disgusted. ”

She really didn't have anything good to say thanks.

Even in order to avoid being discussed and ridiculed by the villagers, it was not good to publicly come to thank him.

“…… No, you don't. Zhao Jianguo twisted his head a little irritated and embarrassed, walked to the dock and began to rinse the towels, and said angrily, "It's nothing." ”

Ning Guang followed him and stuffed him with eggs, saying that if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be dead now, and the two eggs really can't express my gratitude, you must accept it.

Zhao Jianguo said no, the two pushed back and forth, and it didn't take long for an egg to break, and the egg white and yolk were scattered on the two of them.

Ning Guang was a little stunned in this situation, more distressed, for so many years, she didn't seem to have been treated as a special egg, but now a good egg is so bad.

If it weren't for Zhao Jianguo's presence, she would definitely want to find something to pick up these egg whites and yolks, so that she could waste a little less.

Zhao Jianguo was a little ridiculous, and after thinking about it, he put the rest of the intact one and said, "You go wash clothes." ”

Ning Guang went to wash the clothes in a complicated mood, and after she washed it, she saw that Zhao Jianguo was still tossing those towels, his methods were rude, like an enemy of life and death, and he didn't look like a person who would do these things-Ning Guang had seen it more than once during this time, but he hadn't said anything before, and today he reminded him: "It's not right for you to wash like this." ”

Seeing that Zhao Jianguo was confused, she put down the basket, took the towel from him, and demonstrated an action, "You have to wash it like this." ”

"......" Zhao Jianguo didn't speak during this process, looking a little trance-like, Ning Guang stood up, and only then did he hear him whisper, "These were all washed by me before." ”

Ning Guang thought that after Lan Xiaohua eloped with someone, the village talked about Zhao Xueming's father and son, and the three views at this time were of course spurned by Lan Xiaohua, her mother's Lan family claimed not to recognize this woman, and she wanted to open an ancestral hall to remove people from the genealogy, but there was nothing good to say about Zhao Xueming and Zhao Jianguo.

The former is considered to be uncontrollable by his wife, it is really useless, and it is really a waste.

The latter was chased by a group of people and asked, "You don't want you anymore, what do you think in your heart?"

It was also the discord between the Ning family and the Zhao family, and the matter of Lan Xiaohua's elopement also involved Miao Guoqing, and it was too late to hide from this excitement, let alone make fun, so Ning Guang didn't feel it deeply, but he could guess the torment of Zhao Jianguo in the past two years.

If Zhao Xueming fell into the situation of being ridiculed and because he was not good to Lan Xiaohua, it was self-inflicted, and Zhao Jianguo couldn't say how filial he was to Lan Xiaohua, but he tried his best to maintain it. But because of this Mu Yan, she has been ridiculed and ridiculed, and she still can't raise her head...... Now he doesn't know what his mood is when he mentions this Mu Yan.

Ning Guang didn't know how to comfort him, so he left as if he hadn't heard.

After a few days, the two met again by the dock, and Zhao Jianguo also washed his things silently as if he had never said anything like that.

However, after Ningguang's final exam this year, Zhao Jianguo asked her how she did in the exam.

"What can I do?" Ning Guang sighed, "Do you think I look like someone who can read?" ”

Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, comforted her a few words, and said, "I'll be in my third year of junior high school next year, and my uncle asked me to work outside." ”

At this time, the tide of migrant workers had already begun, and the laborers in the countryside, under the introduction of three relatives and four relatives, rushed towards the city like bunches of grapes.

Graduating from junior high school was a watershed moment, and all students, both men and women, who failed the exam, tried their best to integrate into this wave of development.

Because Shen Anyi is no longer in the village, the letters exchanged are all about their respective studies and lives, rarely involving their families, and Ning Guang doesn't know if Zhao Xia is willing to help the Zhao family enter the city now, but she vaguely heard that Zhao Xiaoying's uncle is now working on the construction site outside, although tired, but he earns more than at home.

Zhao Xiaoying said that when her uncle came back, she bought her brother an "Ultraman": "Just such a big thing costs a few yuan, and my brother likes my uncle to be willing, if I want my uncle, I will definitely give me an ear scraper." ”

And Zhao Xiaoying didn't think that "Ultraman" was funny at all, "It's ugly." ”

"It's definitely better to go outside than to be in the village." Ning Guang thought about these things and nodded in agreement, "There is really nothing to treat in this village. ”

This village is not a good place for her or for people like Zhao Xia, but it may not be for a man like Zhao Jianguo.

Because Zhao Jianguo retorted euphemistically when he heard this: "It's also very hard to work outside, I have inquired about Aberto, if you only graduate from junior high school and have no skills and education, you can only do small jobs, which is tiring and hard, and the salary is not high." ”

Speaking of doing small work, Zhao Jianguo sighed in his heart, in fact, his cousin, who is now the village party secretary, Zhao Xunqin, had already promised to help, and wanted to recommend a master to learn the craft after he graduated from junior high school. But after he eloped, the Zhao family and the Lan family were torn apart for this matter.

I don't know what's going on, and in the end, the Lan family and Zhao Xueming complained about Zhao Xunqin together, saying that if Zhao Xunqin hadn't introduced Lan Xiaohua to the chemical plant, he wouldn't have met the adulterer and ran away with someone, so that the Zhao family and the Lan family would be disgraced.

Of course, Zhao Xunqin felt aggrieved, his wife was especially angry, blowing a lot of pillow wind, saying that the Lan family said so, even if the Lan family said so, such a shameless woman in the clan would definitely throw off the pot, but why did Zhao Xueming complain about you with them? If he couldn't be where he is today without your help? This kind of ungrateful villain is simply a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!

The pillow was blowing too much, and Zhao Xunqin originally thought that his cousin had always been a little incompetent, but this time such a humiliating thing happened, and it was not a big deal to blame himself for saying a few words in a hurry...... gradually became cold, and began to alienate Zhao Xueming.

Then the promise I promised to help my nephew introduce him to learn the craft, of course, will not come to pass.

At this time, Zhao Jianguo told Ning Guang that it was not a good thing to go out to work for a while, but he couldn't get Ning Guang's understanding at all, in Ning Guang's view, the outside represents a good life.

All the gloom, sorrow and pain are in this Chaoyang Village.

In the Ning family.

The conversation between the two was very controversial, so they stayed by the dock for a longer time, and it was just in time for the village holiday in the past few days, and the bear children ran around, and happened to see them together, so they coaxed that they were getting married...... Ning Guang's face was flushed with shame, and he didn't care about what to say to Zhao Jianguo, so he picked up his things and left.

And decided to pinch Zhao Jianguo to wash things when he was not at the dock in the future.

Even so, two days later, rumors still spread in the village, saying that Ning Guang and Zhao Jianguo were doing something.

When Mrs. Chu heard it, she mentioned it to Ning Fulin, and Ning Fulin called Ning Guang to interrogate, what was going on?
