Chapter 001: Sixteen years old again
"Lao Tzu has put his words here today, she has to go down to this township, and she has to go down if she doesn't."
"Jianqiang, sweet and stubborn, let her slow down!"
"What is slow, Lao Tzu has eaten and drunk and raised her for so many years, let her go to the countryside to be an educated youth and wronged her? If you don't study well at a young age, you will be a thief at school, and you will lose all your face. ”
Jiang Tian was woken up by the two people outside the house, she opened her eyes in confusion, and what caught her eyes was a gray mosquito net, a red old-fashioned lace round mirror on the old cabinet at the head of the bed, and an enamel jar printed with "Quotations of Great Men".
Jiang Tian was still in a trance, and someone pushed open the door and came in.
"Jiang Tian, you are not a child anymore, why did you do this kind of thing, how do you let your father behave in the family home in the future?"
As soon as this voice entered his ears, Jiang Tian's body stiffened, and he followed the sound to look over, and a familiar face appeared in sight.
Zhao Xiumei, her stepmother.
Could it be that the king of Hades saw that she was too lonely after her death, and took away the scourge of Zhao Xiumei?
"There is no shortage of food and clothing at home, and there is no shortage of expenses, but you actually stole your classmates' alabaster at school, alas...... Your dad sent you to the countryside for your own good, and now that your reputation stays at home, our whole family will be affected by gossip. ”
School!
Steal alabaster!
Jiang Tian's mind instantly cleared, and she glanced at the furnishings in the house, which was clearly the room where she had not yet gone to the countryside when she was a girl.
Shocked, he lowered his eyes, and the hand hidden under the quilt pinched his thigh fiercely.
Hurt! It really hurts!
She returned, back to the year she was sixteen, the year of a turning point in her fate.
This year, every family in the city needs to let their children who do not have a job sign up to go to the countryside to join the queue.
When her cheap father and stepmother were still struggling with whether to let her go to the countryside or let her stepsister Jiang Jing go to the countryside in front of outsiders, this critical moment revealed that she had stolen her classmate's alabaster at school.
The school was full of disdain and ridicule, and when she returned to the compound, it was the neighbors who pointed her fingers, and she almost didn't even dare to go out of the door during that time.
Of course, this quota for going to the countryside fell to her.
Jiang Tian really felt wronged, so she explained in front of Jiang Jianqiang that she didn't steal alabaster.
And her behavior seemed to Jiang Jianqiang to be quibbling, and told her bluntly that the name of the countryside had been reported, so let her stop tossing around.
Her stepmother, Zhao Xiumei, has been "persuading" by her side.
In her previous life, she felt that Zhao Xiumei was really speaking for her and was grateful.
But later I learned that Zhao Xiumei was just adding fuel to the fire.
Even her death in the end was inseparable from Zhao Xiumei.
God has eyes! Gave her a chance to do it all over again.
Those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in her previous life, she must clean them up.
Not a single one will be spared!
"Your father, as the workshop director of the first workshop of the machinery factory, is naturally an example, and you have a bright face as his daughter when you go to the queue...... Besides, your father also operated a relationship for you, and it won't be too bad for you to go to the countryside to cut the queue. ”
Jiang Tian raised her eyes and looked over, Zhao Xiumei in front of her was much younger, wearing the work clothes of the cotton spinning factory next door, about thirty years old, full of concern and comfort to her.
But in those eyes that hung a little brow, there was philistine and calculation, as well as hidden disgust.
The corners of Jiang Tian's mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery, "Aunt Zhao, since going to the countryside is as good as you say, why don't you let your daughter Jiang Jing go?" ”
Zhao Xiumei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How is it the same!" Your reputation for stealing things has already spread, if you don't go to the countryside to avoid the limelight, our family will be drowned by the spitting stars because of you, why are you so ignorant? ”
Zhao Xiumei's brows furrowed, and she looked at Jiang Tian with a little reproach.
"What's the difference, they are all daughters of the Jiang family, why do I go to the countryside to live a hard life, Jiang Jing lives a good life in the city, is it because she is your daughter?" Jiang Tian said loudly.
Zhao Xiumei rolled her eyes angrily, if outsiders heard this, her good reputation for so many years of hard work would be ruined.
Now Jiang Tian is making a lot of trouble because of going to the countryside, and he has to quickly pacify people.
"Tiantian, don't you know Aunt Zhao yet? In Aunt Zhao's heart, you and Jingjing are the same, both are Aunt Zhao's daughters. Zhao Xiumei said against her will.
"Huh! Aunt Zhao, you're really fake! Can biological, non-biological, be the same? I'm afraid you're not taking me for a fool? Jiang Tian sneered and said.
Zhao Xiumei was stunned, she didn't expect Jiang Tian to say such stinging words.
"What? Aunt Zhao, did this go to your heart? Jiang Tian continued.
"Tiantian, what nonsense, what have I done to you all these years, you can see it in your eyes, how can you wronged Aunt Zhao so much?" Zhao Xiumei's face showed a hurt look.
Jiang Tian looked at Zhao Xiumei's hypocrisy, she felt disgusting, she was too lazy to be false with her again, the most important thing for her now was to hurry up and solve the matter of stealing things.
Even if she wants to go to the countryside, she must go down innocently, and she must not leave a punishment on her file.
"Aunt Zhao, I said, I didn't steal alabaster!" Jiang Tian's dark eyes stared at Zhao Xiumei in a daze and said word by word.
Then the conversation changed: "Aunt Zhao knows that she is sad to be wronged, do I deserve to be wronged?" ”
Being looked at by Jiang Tian with such a straightforward gaze, Zhao Xiumei was slightly startled, as if the thoughts in her heart had been seen through.
But when she thought of Jiang Tian's weak temperament, Zhao Xiumei calmed down again.
I think it was Jiang Tian who went to the countryside this time, which really forced her to be anxious.
"Okay, okay, don't be stubborn, it's always right to admit your father's mistake no matter what." Zhao Xiumei said "step by step".
"The best way now is for you to go to the countryside, go farther, stay away from these rumors, people are forgetful, and they won't remember it after a while, if you make more trouble, it will make people see jokes, do you say?"
Jiang Tian lowered her eyelashes, hiding the light at the bottom of her eyes.
"Aunt Zhao, what you said does have some truth, but I really didn't steal, I heard that the days in the countryside are very hard, I have no money and no tickets to go down, I'm afraid it will be ......"
Zhao Xiumei would be a fool if she didn't understand this, anyway, Jiang Tian had already been moved, and it was only a matter of time before she knew that she would admit her mistake.
Immediately, he took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian glanced at the money and didn't take it, "Aunt Zhao, I want to go out for a walk, I heard that the newly opened clothing store on the next street has more than ten yuan of clothes!" ”
Zhao Xiumei was obviously a little hesitant.
"Could it be that before I went to the countryside, Aunt Zhao was reluctant to buy me a new set of clothes? This is what Aunt Zhao said? Jiang Tian's voice was raised.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiumei took out another ten yuan.
Before Zhao Xiumei could react, Jiang Tian took the money over, "Thank you, Aunt Zhao." ”
Then he turned over and got up, without a trace of mud and water, and went out directly.
Zhao Xiumei stared at the money in Jiang Tian's hand, and her flesh ached, it was most of her salary for half a month.
