The low blue brick bungalow, the small courtyard fenced with yellow clay, and a few fluttering old hens in the yard are clucking happily at the moment.

It was the early 90s, the most common afternoon in the countryside, quiet and peaceful.

Xia Youzhi stood by the water tank in the courtyard and washed Xia Qinglin from beginning to end, his heart was full of emotion.

She has fully accepted the fact of going back in time.

Thank God for mercy and hearing her last wish before she died, so that she could go back to the past and make up for her regrets.

Previous life...... Let's call it the previous life, she felt that the family was too poor, the yard was too dirty, and even the sound of chickens crowing was too noisy, she saw everything unpleasantly, but at the moment it was so cute.

After washing Xia Qinglin clean, Xia Youzhi found the only bottle of purple potion at home and gave Xia Qinglin medicine, adding new injuries to old injuries, looking a little terrible, Xia Youzhi was distressed again.

Niujiao Village is located in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, is under the management of Matou Village Office, there are more than 20 households in the village, generations of farming for a living, information is blocked, the road into the village is rugged and muddy, usually to catch a market to walk for more than two hours.

But there are many mountains and mountains here, and at the beginning of this year, a big boss came to the village and wanted to contract the mountain to plant trees.

The village party secretary immediately summoned the labor force in the village, and the contractor gave 4 yuan a day, 120 yuan a month!

News boiled over the small village.

You must know that they only make four or five hundred yuan a year from selling grain!

This has to feed a family, seven or eight people.

And now the information is blocked, and the people who go out to work are very few, and they generally go to the construction site to do hard work, and they are tired and tired to work for up to 200 yuan a month, but they generally can't get it.

Like Xia's father, he was forced to leave his hometown to work, and he was generally too burdened by his family or in urgent need of money.

Alas.

After all, the cost of her eldest brother's college education is an astronomical amount for a rural family like theirs.

That's a thousand dollars!

It was at that time that her father began to work too tired, working day and night, and then caused a cerebral hemorrhage.

Xia Youzhi clenched her fists, she would definitely not let this happen again this time.

She remembered that her eldest brother's score in her previous life was to go to Kyoto University, but because the tuition fee was too expensive, her eldest brother secretly changed his wish and only applied to a university in the city.

It seems that this time she has to make a sum of money first, so that her eldest brother can go to Kyoto University with peace of mind!

"Mom hasn't come back yet?" Xia Youzhi looked at the bright sun in the sky, and couldn't figure out the time for a while.

"Mom said that the mountain I went to recently was far away, and I had to come back later." Xia Qinglin said crisply, "Sister, there are steamed buns in the pot, and my mother said that you can eat steamed buns first if you are hungry." ”

Xia Youzhi nodded, took Xia Qinglin's hand, walked to the kitchen, and thought about making lunch first.

Pushing open the "creaking" kitchen door, the kitchen was unobstructed, this was the first time she walked into the kitchen, usually Xia Mu cooked the meal and brought it to the room for her to eat.

How poor!

Xia Youzhi sighed.

On the left hand side of the door is a typical large earthen stove in the countryside, one large and one small iron pot, one for cooking rice, one for stir-frying, and on the right hand side is a countertop made of green bricks, with a blackened cutting board, next to it is an old cupboard, and an empty bamboo basket is hung on the top.

It's empty, and it seems that there is no way to cook it.

Xia Youzhi sighed, walked into the kitchen, lifted the cauldron, and three dry steamed buns were lying in the pot.

"Qinglin, where is the vegetable plot at home?" Xia Youzhi took down the hanging bamboo basket, "We have to pick vegetables first." ”

Xia Qinglin hesitated, he knew the vegetable field, it was behind the house.

But it rained heavily two days ago, and the vegetable patch is still very muddy, and if you go, you will stain my sister's beautiful clothes......

And my sister only had a fever two days ago, and my mother told him to take care of my sister before going out.

"What's wrong?" Xia Youzhi saw Xia Qinglin's hesitation, and was a little puzzled, "It's far away, isn't it?" Or does Qinglin not want to go? ”

"No, sister." Xia Qinglin hurriedly denied it, "It rained two days ago, and I was afraid of soiling my sister's beautiful clothes......"

Speaking of the back, Xia Qinglin's voice became smaller and smaller, and he could hardly hear it.

Xia Youzhi was slightly stunned, "Don't be afraid of getting dirty, just wash it if it's dirty." ”

"Is that okay?" Xia Qinglin carefully confirmed, afraid that his sister would hate him again.

Xia You's heart ached, thinking about the fact that when she first came, Qinglin had always wanted to be close to her, but she had never liked it.

"Absolutely." Xia Youzhi touched Xia Qinglin's head, "Sister has a lot of clothes." ”

Xia Qinglin's heart that had been hanging was put down.

*

The chirping of cicadas in July breaks the tranquility of the village in the afternoon.

Xia Youzhi locked the gate of the yard, carried the bamboo basket in one hand, and led Xia Qinglin to the back of the house to pick vegetables in the other.

The Xia family's house is lined up, with a total of four blue brick houses, and the westernmost side is a kitchen made of yellow mud.

In the middle is the hall, there are two rooms in the east, one in the west, one in the west is where Xia's father and Xia mother live, and the room in the east by the living room is where Xia Qingbo's two brothers live, and the big room in the easternmost part was given to Xia Youzhi.

Xia's father has a total of four brothers and sisters in his generation, two brothers, and a younger sister at the bottom, in the countryside, the parents live with the eldest son, and the Xia family's grandmother is no exception.

The Xia family is poor, and the house where Xia's father lives now was built by Xia's father who inadvertently dug up a century-old ginseng when he went up the mountain in his early years and sold it for money.

Niujiao Village has many mountains and few flat land, and the residences are scattered, and the closest family to Xia's family is separated by a few hundred meters, so Xia Youyi did not meet anyone on the road.

Although the Xia family's vegetable garden was not far behind the house, it took some time to walk around the house to the foot of the mountain.

The vegetable field was fenced by Xia Mu with small branches to prevent chickens and ducks from running to spoil it, Xia Youzhi had some trouble moving open the small door, this body has just subsided today, and it is still a little weak.

Xia Qinglin on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help, Xia Youzhi looked at his younger brother like bean sprouts, and felt a little distressed, it seems that he has to add some nutrition to Qinglin, otherwise this child will not grow tall.

The vegetables in the vegetable garden were green, and the melons and fruits were also climbing all over the fence, and Xia Youzhi was happy when he looked at it.

In her previous life, after she got sick, she especially liked this kind of pastoral life, and in her villa, she also planted vegetables and made a grape trellis.

Xia Youzhi picked vegetables very fast, Xia Qinglin was a little dumbfounded, his sister is so powerful, she can do anything.

In his previous life, Xia Youzhi and Gu Tingshen divorced, and were abandoned by the Song family, and went south to work alone.

In order to survive, he did everything, even cleaning public toilets, and finally entered the factory, taught himself clothing design, and turned over step by step.

Xia Youzhi didn't know what Xia Qinglin was thinking, she just wanted to go back to cooking quickly, and Xia Mu would have to come back in a while.

When she just went out, she ran to the living room to check the time, and it was already 12 o'clock.

Xia Youzhi bent over and kept busy, while Xia Qinglin tiptoed to pick cucumbers.

"Hey, Cuilian." A voice pretending to be surprised sounded, "It's Cuilian, right?" ”

Xia Youzhi didn't want to pay attention to it, but the shouting was really annoying, so he could only stand up.

"Hey, it's Miss Song." Zhang Chunhua's tanned, wrinkled face was full of expressions of surprise, "I thought it was Cuilian, but it turned out to be Miss Song, hehe." ”

Xia Youzhi glanced at Zhang Chunhua, who was standing outside the fence, did not speak, lifted the vegetable basket, called Xia Qinglin, and walked towards the door of the vegetable garden.

This spring flower has always been at odds with Xia's mother, can she admit her mistake in her colorful clothes?

Zhang Chunhua and Xia's mother both grew up together in the next village, when Xia's father had just built a new house with blue bricks, it was the first one, and the villages near and far knew it, and there was an endless stream of matchmakers.

Zhang Chunhua likes Xia's father, a talent, and there is a blue brick house at home, but Xia's father didn't take a fancy to Zhang Chunhua, but tied the knot with the virtuous Xia's mother.

Since then, Zhang Chunhua has held a grudge, and later married to Niujiao Village, and she kept telling right and wrong, so that Xia's mother, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but fight with her.

"Yo, the eldest lady in this city is different, she doesn't greet people when she sees them, and she doesn't know how they are taught in the city."

Zhang Chunhua looked at Xia Youzhi with an indifferent face, and a wave of anger rose in her heart, when she was young, her father ignored herself, and now it is her turn to look down on herself here?

"I guess I went back to the Xia family, Zhang Cuilian didn't teach you well, right? This Xia family has no tutors, and deliberately changed their daughter to the city to enjoy happiness.

It's okay now, God has eyes, let the family find out, this Xia family is really shameless. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Chunhua saw Xia Youzhi's eyes as if they were quenched with poison, staring at her, she was a little panicked in her heart, isn't this new girl from the Xia family at odds with the Xia family?

"I ...... I'm not wrong, this Xia family made a sin. Zhang Chunhua has strengthened her courage and suppressed her fear, can she still be intimidated by a little girl?

"Maybe, it's the Xia family's deliberate, so that you can't be Miss Song, you can only come back and suffer." Zhang Chunhua lowered her voice and broke the discord.

Xia Youzhi's eyes darkened, she had heard too much of this nonsense in her previous life.

In order to escape from reality, she deceived herself into believing that her biological parents couldn't see her well, so she changed her back.

When Xia Qinglin heard this, he was very anxious, and roared at Zhang Chunhua, "You are talking nonsense, my parents are not like this, you are talking nonsense." ”

Xia Qinglin shook Xia Youzhi's hand, "Sister, don't believe what she said, my parents won't be like this." ”

Xia Youzhi looked at Xia Qinglin, who was anxious, and reassured, "Sister knows, my parents won't be like this." ”

Zhang Chunhua "snorted", who knows if it is.

"Do you want to come and steal cucumbers or vegetables?" Xia Youzhi turned his head and looked at Zhang Chunhua coldly, "You stole my chicken last time, right?" ”

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! Zhang Chunhua hurriedly denied it, "You wronged people at a young age, and your parents taught you that." ”

"How my parents teach me, it's none of your business, after all, my mother is not you, it's useless for you to covet my father, you are not as beautiful as my mother, and you are not as virtuous as my mother, no matter how you are, you can't compare to my mother."

Xia Youzhi said coldly and sarcastically, "The subordinates are defeated, and they still tell right and wrong." ”

"You, you, you......" Zhang Chunhua was so angry that her hands trembled.

"And you steal my food, steal my chicken, don't think no one knows, I can see it clearly. If you steal again, I'll go and beat your big cow, steal once, beat once. Xia Youzhi said indifferently,

"No one will see it anyway, and you can't be at home every day."

"You...... You ......" Zhang Chunhua was shocked by Xia Youzhi's "shamelessness", and was speechless for a while.

Xia Youzhi didn't pay attention to Zhang Chunhua anymore, and led the stunned Xia Qinglin away.

Hmph, against people like Zhang Chunhua, it is useless to reason, so you have to suppress it.
