Suddenly, Miao Qing threw the hard nest head in his hand towards the desert, go to your mother's Li Bing, go to your mother's marriage, the old lady wants to leave here.

Miao Qing returned to Diwozi, the so-called Diwozi, which is a kind of pit dug obliquely in the desert with a depth of about two meters, surrounded by adobe, and then covered with various blades of grass and mud on top.

This kind of nest is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it is not breathable, if someone puts a stinky fart in the nest, if you don't use a newspaper or fan to fan out, it is estimated that it will stink for a night.

Miao Qing persevered in such a difficult environment for almost a year, and originally thought that she would take advantage of her rest day to go to Li Bing to complain, but she didn't know which military region Li Bing was in.

Let the soldier standing guard at the door bring a message to Li Bing, hoping that he can come to see her, it would be better if he could bring some food, the conditions are too difficult, and you won't see meat for several months.

But Li Bing never appeared in front of her, as if he was a stranger he met on the road, and it was over when he took you to a place.

"Miao Qing, what are you doing, why did you lose your nest head."

A man stood on the edge of the nest and shouted inside, he saw Miao Qing throw away the nest head in his hand, and his heart was very numb, this is food.

"I'm in a bad mood."

"If you are in a bad mood, you can't get along with the food, we can step on the sand, and if you step on too much, the gas will come out, this is the nest head made by my mother, which is a little softer than the canteen bought, you can eat."

Miao Qing looked up, the man's rough hand was holding a ginger enamel rice bowl, the enamel was almost gone, and it looked very mottled.

"Thanks, I'm not hungry, you can take it back."

Miao Qing knew that this man was a local in the Hexi Corridor, and his family conditions were not very good, so he would come to the shelter forest every day to plant trees, and he had a salary of at least ten yuan a month.

"If you're not hungry, it's uncomfortable to be hungry at night."

The man put the enamel rice bowl at the door and turned to leave, but he was greeted by a gust of wind, mixed with sand, which blinded the man's eyes.

"Miao Qing, close the door, the sandstorm is coming."

There are sandstorms here for three days, and when the sandstorm comes, most people will hide in the ground, even if they don't have time to hide in their own nests, they will find a nearby nest to hide in.

"Come in, close the door."

Miao Qing is also anxious, in case someone dies at the door of her house, she will be spit to death by the saliva of the people around her, obviously she can let people go into the nest to hide, why not do it.

The man happily picked up the enamel basin on the ground, went into the nest, closed the door with his hand, and took a wooden stick from the side against the door.

The yellow sand flew in the sky, leaking through the crack in the door, and before long, whether it was on the ground or on the bed, there was a thick layer of sand everywhere.

Looking at the ground nest where she had to shake the quilt and sweep the sand for three days, Miao Qing suddenly squatted on the ground and cried whining, she sighed why her life was so bitter.

"Marry me, my family lives in a cave, although the conditions are not very good, but it is better than here."

The man's hand stretched out several times, wanting to pat Miao Qing's shoulder as a sign of comfort, but he never dared to stretch it out, he liked this girl in his heart, but he didn't know the details of this girl.

"Will you marry me?"

"I'm twenty-eight this year, because my family is poor and can't afford the bride price, so no local girl is willing to marry me, if you want, even if I go to borrow money, I will make up enough for the bride price."

"How much do you give here?"

"Look at the conditions, there are 100 or 580 with good conditions, and 230 with bad conditions."

"But you don't have a salary of ten dollars every month, so why haven't you saved any money?"

"I have too many brothers and sisters, I have to support them."

"Ah......h

"But now it's okay, my younger brothers and sisters have grown up, and they have all gone out to work, so I save eight yuan a month, and now I have more than 100 yuan, and I can make you a bride price."

"I don't have a dowry, I don't have money."

"If you don't have money, how can you not give money when you work here."

Miao Qing stopped talking, but at that time, he said that he would provide three meals a day, as well as simple daily necessities, and a nest, and there was no money at all, otherwise it would be called a test.

"Because I made a bet with someone, I bet that I would win, but now I know that I will never win."

"It doesn't matter, marry a man and marry a man to dress and eat, you don't have money, I'll do more, I'll support you."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Hancheng, Bai Hancheng, I am twenty-eight years old this year, I have my father and mother and four younger brothers and five sisters at home, and the youngest sister is also fourteen years old, so my mother said that I don't need to support my family anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, as long as I get married, I can separate and live, I can apply for a smaller cave, and the two of us will build a family, and you don't have to work here."

A light appeared in Miao Qing's eyes, it was a kind of expectation for a new life, Li Bing, you, you don't want me, someone still wants me.

"Can you give me three days?"

"Of course you can, take it, eat it quickly, and you won't be able to gnaw it later."

Miao Qing picked up Wowotou and ate it, and found that it was actually a wowotou made of cornmeal, so she hurriedly poured out a glass of water from the kettle, and slowly ate Wowotou and a mouthful of water.

The next day, Miao Qing asked for leave and went to the base, and she asked the soldiers standing guard to tell Li Bing that she was getting married and was here to talk about the return of the bride price.

Li Bing finally appeared in front of Miao Qing, Miao Qing looked at the tall and mighty Li Bing, and suddenly felt that her brain was pumped at that time, which point in her body was worthy of Li Bing.

"I'm going to marry a local, but I can't return the 300 yuan bride price you gave my father at the beginning, because I have no money."

"You don't have to pay it back, my brother blew up your kitchen, and there is still food, even if you lose 100 yuan, you actually have a salary, 8 yuan a month, and now there are almost 100 yuan, and there are 100 yuan, which can be regarded as the money I gave you."

"Brother Li Bing, in fact, I was forced to sell me at the beginning, my father was going to sell me, so I ......"

"Needless to say, I know that you shouldn't have been malicious to my brother and sister first, and then there will be a series of reactions, and these eleven months can be regarded as a punishment for you."

Miao Qing nodded, she had a big stumble on her own growth path, and hoped that her future life would be smooth sailing, of course, she must be kind first.

Miao Qing left, Meili walked out from the back gate, looked at Miao Qing's back, and couldn't help sighing, the environment makes people, Miao Qing's parents are so stingy, it's not surprising that she is crooked.
