Chapter 1

In November, the northern winds are cold, and the temperature in the village of Jad is even lower near the mountains.

At this time, just after dawn, in the courtyard of the Feng family at the west end of the village, a small figure was squatting on the ground.

There was movement in the room, and the mean old lady pushed the door out, scolding as she went.

"Why is it so slow to let you wash a few dishes? Don't eat breakfast if you rub it any longer! ”

The figure on the ground moved, and it turned out to be a little girl who was only a few feet tall.

Or rather, it should be called a baby.

He looked like he was two or three years old at most, wearing a shabby padded jacket and a pair of summer plastic sandals on his feet.

She raised her head and timidly said to the old lady, "Grandma, I, I'm so cold." ”

A small sallow face was thin and out of shape, and two large eyes with a pleading gaze, not to mention the milky voice.

It's a person who listens to it and feels distressed.

But......

"What cold, what cold!" The old lady poked her head hard, "You just want to be lazy, you are still lazy with such a little work, see if I don't kill you!" ”

"Chirp no, wash...... Washed clean! Chirp hurriedly lifted the bowl bigger than her face.

She had already lifted it very hard, but her hand was too small, and with a click, the bowl fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

"You bunny!" The old lady slapped down.

Chirp fell to the ground, her dirty little face visibly became red and swollen to the naked eye, and she pouted and wanted to cry.

But when I thought that my aunt said that crying would be beaten even more, I tried hard to hold back my tears.

Woowoo...... Mom, my face hurts.

"Mom!" A middle-aged man walked into the yard and said, "Don't hit her when you get up early in the morning, turn around and let the neighbors hear and gossip again." ”

Old Mrs. Feng took a sip: "If you hadn't said to keep this girl, I would have lost her a long time ago." ”

"Don't, don't throw away the tweet." Jiu Jiu tried to get up, reached out and pulled the old lady's sleeve, "Jiu Jiu, will work, no, don't throw it away." ”

The old lady kicked her away: "Take the bowl back, and I will break your hand if you throw it again!" ”

Watching the child stumble into the house with a bowl, Feng Yuanchao whispered.

"I think this girl can be raised, and she can help cook for another two years."

"It won't take two years, and after the New Year, when she is three years old, I will let her cook." Mrs. Feng lowered her voice, "The fat aunt's grandson with cerebral palsy is five years older than this little girl, and the fat aunt wants to ......."

"Nope." Feng Yuanchao glared at his mother, "It is illegal to buy and sell children, do so many people in the village want to go to jail when they look at them?" ”

Old Mrs. Feng snorted: "Then raise it again, and buy a car for my eldest grandson in exchange for a bride price when I grow up!" ”

In the room, Jiu Jiu struggled to stand on a chair and put the bowl in the cupboard, and tried to lift the lid of the pot to take out the leftovers inside.

A steamed bun that has already cooled.

She picked it up and took a bite to swallow.

"I can't bite it...... I can't bite it......" Chirp muttered, picked up a porcelain jar with a missing mouth and walked to the teapot on the ground, his face was red before he lifted the teapot a little.

With the help of force, she poured half a glass of water, broke the steamed buns into small pieces with her small hands and soaked them, and then she sat next to the stove with the cup in her hand.

Jiu Jiu stretched his feet towards the stove, feeling that his little feet were not so cold.

Only then did he grab the soaked soft steamed buns and eat them, and then stopped and scratched his little hands after two bites.

"Tickle ......" Chirp looked at his little hands, which were already covered with chilblains.

But she didn't know, she just felt itchy, and she always wanted to scratch.

Before the steamed buns were finished, she heard her aunt calling her outside.

"Tweet, where did you die? Hurry up and wash my brother's socks! ”

Chirped two mouthfuls and stuffed the soaked steamed buns into his mouth, and sighed like a little adult.

"Alas, my brother's socks and socks stink, and I don't want to wash them."

But she just talked and ran out quickly.

If you can't finish washing, you won't have anything to eat at noon.

Jiu Jiu originally lived in the city, and the family of three was happy.

But half a year ago, her parents died in a car accident, and she was taken back to her grandmother's house in the countryside by her uncle.

When I first came, I was white and chubby, and I was so cute.

But the Feng family is not a person, and they have to beat and scold such a young child, if it weren't for the fact that the people in the village couldn't stand it and said a few words from time to time, I don't know what would happen.

"Woo!" A yellow puppy ran into the yard.

Chirp, who washes socks on the edge of the pool, wipes his hands, and gives the remaining soaked steamed buns to the puppy.

"Potato, you're here so early today!" Jiu Jiu watched the gobbling puppy and touched its head, "Uncle Ji went to buy fish and fish, and tomorrow Jiu Jiu will give you steamed buns with soaked fish and fish."

A few days ago, when the family ate fish, she only got half a bowl of cold fish soup.

Despite this, Jiu Jiu thought it was delicious and was particularly delicious food.

"If only Mom and Dad were still around!"

The little brother of the uncle's family is bad and bad, he said that his parents are dead, he will never wake up again, and she will never see her again.

Jiu Jiu felt that her parents must have something to do, and she would definitely come back to pick her up when she was done!

The little yellow dog was full, rubbed on the chirping feet and warmed her feet with his belly.

"Giggles!" Chirp sat on the ground with a butt, "Tickle, tickle......"

"Good! You're lazy again. A little boy of eight or nine years old came running up to him, "I'm going to tell my grandmother to tell her not to give you food." ”

Jiu Jiu hurriedly stood up: "No, I'm not lazy." ”

"I don't believe it, I won't sue if you give me the puppy!" The little boy pointed at her proudly.

Chirp hurriedly kicked the puppy, trying to make the potato run.

I can't give it to my brother, my brother will make potatoes into a hot pot and eat them.

The puppy yelled at the boy twice and ran away as fast as he could.

"Dead dog!" The boy picked up a rock and threw it at it.

Jiu Jiu also took the opportunity to run back to the house and hide.

She didn't like this brother at all and always bullied her.

I don't know how long it took for her to hear her uncle's voice in the yard.

"I bought a red carp today, and I don't know if it's delicious or not, it's a few pieces more expensive than ordinary carp!"

Then came the voice of Old Lady Feng: "Oh, such a beautiful fish, can you eat it?" ”

"Why can't you eat it, isn't it just a better color, hurry up and put the fish in the water tank, and kill it alive at night!"

In the afternoon, Jiu Jiu sneaks into the kitchen and sees the fish in the basin.

A golden-red koi fish remained motionless in the water.

"It's so pretty!" It's much more beautiful than the last time I saw it, and it looks like it's glowing.

Jiu Jiu carefully poked the koi: "Yuyu, you are so good-looking." ”

"Help me!"

Suddenly, a child's voice came to his ear.

She looked around, thinking she had misheard.

"Help me!"

You heard it right!

Jiu Teng stood up: "Who are you?" Is it talking to Chirp? ”

"It's me." The koi fish in the basin suddenly jumped.

Chirp was startled, turned around and ran.

Ran to the door and stood again, then rubbed back little by little and squatted.

"Yuyu?"

"It's me!" Koi shook his head, "Please save me and let me go." ”

Talking Fish Fish!!

Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up, and in the story her mother told her, there was a little carp looking for her mother, and the little carp would talk.

"Are you going to Mom?" She asked the koi, "Can you also help Jiu Jiu find his mother?" ”

"I'm going to jump the dragon gate, and if I can't catch up, please let me go."

Chirp didn't understand, but she knew she couldn't let the little carp be eaten.

So she picked up the basin and ran out of the house secretly.

According to the little carp, he ran all the way to the small river behind the village.

"Thank you!" The koi fish who returned to the creek shook their heads and wagged their tails to thank them.

Jiu Jiu waved his hand: "You're welcome, hurry up and jump the door!" ”

The koi nodded to her and headed upstream.

Jiu Jiu looked at it for a while, and then sighed again: "Alas, I don't know if the little carp will help Jiu Jiu find his mother." ”
