Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Summer Breeze
In fact, Chun Tao's sudden tears were not because of a stomachache, but because she remembered the past, she felt uncomfortable, and the emotions that had not been exposed for a long time were prompted during the sensitive period of the menstrual period.
"Zhao Rujing, what's going on? Who have you been pranked again? There was blood on the pants. The aunt in the orphanage was holding Zhao Rujing's blood-stained pants with an angry face.
Thirteen-year-old Zhao Rujing looked at her timidly, with tears still on her face. "No, it's... It's mine. I... I'm bleeding, Zhang... Aunt Zhang, I... I'm going to die... He's dead. ”
She had learned what death was, and that some people died because of strange illnesses.
"Phew! It's just that menstruation is coming, and you're going to die. It's really bad luck that I'm finally leaving, and I'm going to talk about trouble! Aunt Zhang scolded and walked away, leaving Zhao Rujing standing there and sobbing alone.
"Take it and put it on your own." After a while, Aunt Zhang threw a white object in front of Zhao Rujing, and Zhao Rujing picked it up and looked at her timidly.
"What? You still want me to help you figure it out, figure it out yourself. Turning around and about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the pants that were thrown on the ground, and then turned his head to Zhao Rujing and said, "Wash the pants yourself, don't stain the sheets, wash them yourself if they get dirty." It's dirty! ”
Zhao Rujing didn't understand why Aunt Zhang was willing to wash her pants just now, and now she is unwilling. I don't understand what she threw at herself, what it is.
"Stammer!" As soon as Zhao Rujing was nervous, she stammered when she spoke, so the children in the orphanage called her stammer. Now she is called a girl in a wheelchair, two years older than her.
Zhao Rujing turned her head to look at her, didn't speak, just kept staring. "What are you looking at me for? I won't teach you. You'd better figure it out for yourself! Otherwise, you'll be beaten by that woman. ”
The girl in the wheelchair seems to be disgusted with everything in the world, she is disgusted with the orphanage, disgusted with Aunt Zhang, disgusted with Zhao Rujing in front of her, and disgusted with herself.
But it was you who called me, and I stared at you. Chun Tao only dared to refute silently in her heart. "You know... This... How is this... How to get it? ”
"I know, but I don't want to teach you, why should I teach you?"
Zhao Rujing didn't know why she wanted to teach herself, but there was no one else here, and the only one who could turn to her was her.
"Let me ask you, did anyone come today and say they want to adopt you?"
"Hmm!" It stands to reason that a child who is already a teenager will not be adopted, but the professor who came today is actually willing to adopt Zhao Rujing, which surprised everyone.
"You want to go with him? I tell you, he has absolutely no ill intentions towards you, and he must be trying to take advantage of you, arrest you, lock you up, and torture you. What the girl said frightened Zhao Rujing, she kept retreating, and the girl pushed the wheelchair and kept approaching her.
Zhao Rujing felt that the professor was very good to her, and despite her fear, she mustered up the courage to defend him. "No... No, it won't. ”
"Why not, your parents can lose you. How could he, a stranger, want you! ”
"No... No. ”
"Isn't it? You're not like me, you're a cripple, and it's normal if you're a cripple and you're discarded. But you are not sick or sick, and you have also been lost, or are you not good at learning? There are no good people in this world, even your parents will abandon you, and everyone who is good to you wants to take advantage of you. ”
Zhao Rujing and the girl are not social, so the girl will always talk to Zhao Rujing. It's not that the girl likes Zhao Rujing so much, according to the girl, she wants to change Zhao Rujing and make her not so stupid. "No... No! ”
"Then you'll see!" The girl stared at Zhao Rujing gloomily, and left with her wheelchair for a long time.
In the end, the girl didn't teach Zhao Rujing how to use that white thing.
Later, what the girl said was confirmed in Zhao Rujing's body. And the girl was found by her own family and brought home, no longer the person who was full of malice towards the world before.
Chun Tao heard the sound of hurried footsteps getting closer and closer, wiped away the tears on her face, and stabilized her mood.
"Here, drink some hot water." Aunt Zhou pushed open the door with a bowl of hot water.
Chun Tao took the bowl and took a big sip, tears in her hot red eyes. "Hmm!"
"Slow down! If I take medicine for another day tomorrow, I don't think it will be so uncomfortable. Aunt Zhou's voice was very soft and light, like a spring breeze blowing slowly, blowing into Chun Tao's ears, blowing into Chun Tao's heart, and blowing down a tear.
"Originally, your mother should have told you about these things, but..."Aunt Zhou realized that she might be talking about something that Chun Tao didn't want to mention, and immediately stopped.
"But you are already married to Kui'er, then I am also your mother, and it is appropriate for me to tell you."
"Hmm!" Chun Tao's face was buried in the bowl, and Aunt Zhou didn't notice her tears.
The candlelight in the room was dim, and Chun Tao lowered her head and handed the bowl to Aunt Zhou, wiping away the tears the moment she turned around.
"Rest quickly! When you fall asleep, you don't feel bad. Aunt Zhou put the bowl away, gently patted Chun Tao's back, and sang a song that Chun Tao had never heard.
I don't know whether it was to think of that past, or the sensitive emotions during the menstrual period, Chun Tao did not refuse or escape from Aunt Zhou's comfort, leaned sideways, closed her eyes tightly, and did not let the tears fall.
It's a kid after all. Aunt Zhou patted Chun Tao's curved back, and she was happy that she no longer refused her closeness, and the song became lighter and softer, more and more reassuring.
"Awake?" When Chun Tao opened her eyes in the morning, it was already dawn, and although her stomach was still swollen and painful, she already had some strength, not as uncomfortable as yesterday.
"Hmm!" Chun Tao really wondered if there was any soothing medicine added to the medicine, otherwise how could she lie down all day and sleep so late in the morning before waking up.
Aunt Zhou put the porridge and dishes on the table, turned around and went into the stove room to get the dishes and chopsticks. "Are you feeling better today?"
"Better." Chun Tao stepped forward to help, but was gently slapped off by Aunt Zhou.
"I told you yesterday that you can't touch cold water, have you forgotten? There's hot water there, and when you wash, wash it, you know? ”
Aunt Zhou walked out of the stove room, and Chun Tao was in a daze at the hot water in the pot. When he heard Zhou Kuiruo's voice, he took a deep breath and came back to his senses to scoop the hot water into the wooden basin.
"Mother, I'll come!" Zhou Kuiruo took the dishes and chopsticks and set them up, then walked to the well and washed beside Chun Tao.
The two stood side by side, although they could not be said to be talented and beautiful, but they were exceptionally harmonious and warm.
Although the two did not communicate, they made Aunt Zhou behind her feel love, with a gentle smile with a little satisfaction and longing.
"Today, my mother specially lay eggs and added brown sugar water, you hurry up and eat them." Chun Tao looked at the brown sugar egg in front of her, looking a little lonely.
"Hmm!" Chun Tao picked up the bowl and slowly accepted Aunt Zhou's thoughts.
After breakfast, Zhou Kuiruo carried his cage to the county seat.
Aunt Zhou didn't allow Chun Tao to enter the stove room and drove her back to the room. After finishing the work in the stove room, he handed the boiled medicine to Chun Tao. "Come, drink the medicine. Drink the medicine and then go to sleep, don't read. ”
Still sleeping! I'll be a pig if I sleep again. Chun Tao drank the medicine, thinking about how not to become a creature that ate and slept and ate.
"I... I don't want to sleep. ”
"So what are you going to do? You can't be tired, and if you're not feeling well, you should have a good rest. ”
"I... I read books... No... Not tired. ”
Aunt Zhou thought about it, and sat while reading, so she only bothered a little and agreed. "That's fine, though, you can't watch it for too long."
"Hmm!" Seeing that Aunt Zhou pushed the door and went out, Chun Tao immediately took out the "Three Character Classic", polished the ink, and began to transcribe.
The summer morning sun, slightly scorching, was soothed by a gust of breeze, and the excess enthusiasm was dissipated.
