Chapter 35: Test your abilities
For days, Josie ran into the mountains.
She only went after Qiao's mother and Qiao's mother went to the ground, so Qiao's mother didn't know, and thought that her daughter was resting at home.
It was still the self-righteous Mrs. Zhang who ran to Qiao's mother to complain, and Qiao's mother only knew.
Mrs. Zhang crooked her mouth, but she was proud: "Why does your girl run into the mountains every day, you are so tired all day long, the eldest girl doesn't help the family, what are you wandering around, not filial piety at all." ”
When Qiao's mother heard this, she was surprised at first, and this is the case?
When you go back, you must ask your daughter.
Then, he scolded Mrs. Zhang.
"My daughter's filial piety and sensibility are known to the whole village, and you are not qualified to preach. My daughter didn't come to work in the field, that's because I didn't let me, it's not that she didn't come, you think everyone is the same as you, like to grind with your daughter, my daughter was raised by me to be delicate and soft, but she can't do rough work. ”
Qiao's mother spoke like a machine gun, abruptly, and others couldn't insert it at all.
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang's face turned red.
After a while, he said: "Raise a girl as a baby!" Be careful that your sons hold grudges and don't support you when they're old! ”
Qiao's mother threw away her hoe, crossed her hands on her waist, and her voice was as loud as thunder: "Then you have to be more careful, be careful that the girl will not recognize you after grinding, be careful that your son is raised by you, and wait for you to return your clothes when you are seventy or eighty, and come to reach out for food to open your mouth, and ask you to serve!" ”
Everyone in the village knows that Mrs. Zhang's two sons are so lazy that Mrs. Zhang is over 60 years old this year, and she still works every day.
This is someone's private matter, so even if Qiao's mother is not used to it, she will not mention it on weekdays.
But today, Mrs. Zhang herself was scolded in a hurry, so don't blame her for being ruthless.
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she wanted to struggle again, but Qiao Nan came over and blocked in front of Mrs. Zhang.
He straightened his face and said angrily: "My sister is a girl, work is not what she is good at, whether she is resting at home or going outside, it is all right, we will not hold grudges, you don't sow discord!" ”
It's really, to talk about their sister-brother relationship so unbearable, it sounds so angry!
Mrs. Zhang didn't expect Qiao Nan to stand up and refute, and she was a little speechless for a while.
She is used to dealing with women, and in the face of men, she is always lacking in confidence.
Immediately after, Qiao Dong also walked over.
Qiao Dong's face darkened: "Aunt Zhang, are you looking for trouble?" ”
If you are looking for trouble, then deal with it in the same way as you are looking for something.
Mrs. Zhang shrank down, opened her mouth, and spit out a sentence after a while: "Being pressed by a woman, there is no interest!" ”
Qiao's mother rolled her eyes: "Your son is lying down to be your uncle and let you serve, it's really promising." ”
Quarrels in the village often happen, and as long as there are no fundamental conflicts, they are generally only small scenes.
Therefore, the crowd of onlookers just watched the excitement, and no one expressed their opinions.
Mrs. Zhang said that she couldn't help Qiao's mother, and was stared at viciously by Qiao Nan and Qiao Dong, stomped her feet and turned around and went back to her own place.
Qiao's mother won a big victory, but she didn't have much to be happy.
At the moment, all she was thinking about was what her precious girl was doing quietly.
After thinking for a while, she said to Qiao's father: "I'll go back early tonight to see what my daughter is doing, but don't be deceived." ”
One Yang Wenqing is very worrying, and now add Qin Jiashu......
In case the girl went out to see any of them, it would be a heart attack to think about.
Qiao's father is also very worried, although his daughter also likes to run around in the past, but she has not been so mysterious and secret as in the past few days.
He sighed heavily: "Otherwise, you can go back now!" ”
Qiao's mother glanced at the people who had just dispersed, and was not angry: "Are you stupid, I'll leave now and let others see it, don't you really think that Mrs. Zhang is right, what's wrong with our daughter?" ”
Father Qiao suddenly realized: "It makes sense! ”
……
Josie returned home with a basket full of wild fruits, and through the practice and attempts of the past few days, she could already determine that she had a special ability in her.
Whether it's a vegetable or a fruit, as long as it's picked by her hand, it will return to its original state after a few hours.
Some fruits are slower, it takes seven or eight hours, and some fruits are faster, three or four hours is enough, not necessarily in time, but none of them exceed a day.
That is, if she wants, she can stay in one place and pick as many times as she wants.
She didn't know what God had given her this skill for, but now that she had it, she was definitely going to do something.
For example, use this ability to help your family improve their food and the like.
After picking out some of the ripe fruits and washing them, Josie went to the small vegetable garden and harvested all the vegetables that were almost ripe in the garden.
Anyway, wait until tomorrow, these dishes will grow again, and there is no need to keep them and eat them slowly.
It's a pity that the dishes are not valuable, otherwise they will be sold, and they can be exchanged for some meat to eat, if there is more meat at home, Qiao's mother and Qiao's father will not have to show that they don't like meat.
The meat is so fragrant, who can not love it.
On the country road, several girls were talking with each other, and when they saw Josie's back from a distance, they all stopped and watched Josie enter the gate, and then they started talking again.
"Your cousin is really blessed, she doesn't have to work in the fields, she wears beautiful clothes and walks around every day, I really envy it."
"Who doesn't envy it, even if she has such good parents, her brothers and brothers all protect her and raise her as a young lady."
"The key is that she is also angry, she is white and good-looking, and she smiles sweetly, even if she doesn't do anything, just looking at it makes people feel good."
Most of the girls in the village are simple, and when they say these words, they are also envious of Josie from the bottom of their hearts, and they do not have the slightest jealousy.
But Qiao Zhu, who walked with them, was different, she listened to her friends praise Qiao Xi's words, and her teeth secretly clenched.
One of the girls saw that Qiao Zhu didn't speak, and asked suspiciously: "Zhuzhu, are you in conflict with your cousin, I haven't seen her talk to you for a while." ”
The other also said: "That is, she and Yang Wenqing are not married, you can't tell what's going on, aren't you a family, I think she was very close to you before." ”
mentioned Yang Wenqing, Qiao Zhu was even more angry.
She still can't understand why Josie put a basin on her head and slandered her for having an abnormal relationship with Yang Wenqing.
It is clear that she has never said anything to Yang Wenqing!
Thinking of the anger she suffered because of Josie, she held back all the unhappiness and pretended to be embarrassed: "It's not that I don't tell you, it's true, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized." ”
