13: "Red Date Village"
When she saw Mo Zhenzhen turn around, she stepped forward in small steps, and when she reached the front and back, a kind and delicate face wrinkled.
"How did you get this? Bullied? ”
The little woman was too enthusiastic, and Mo Zhenzhen seemed a little 'overwhelmed'.
Mo Zhenzhen silently took two steps back, lowered her head and hesitated before saying cowardly.
"At home, the wall of the house has fallen, and I dug up some yellow mud and came back......"
The little woman didn't wait for Mo Zhenzhen to finish speaking, then clapped her hands and said anxiously as if she had just remembered this matter.
"Oh, look at me, I forgot about it. The wall of your house has fallen, can you finish it alone? When will you be able to finish it as a little girl? Don't toss, I'll let my family get it for you, and it will be done in a while! ”
The little woman was too enthusiastic, and she didn't wait for Mo Zhenzhen to react before she left with the basket in a hurry.
Mo Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment and went home first.
It was only when she went to the kitchen to hide the two paper bags in the basket that there was movement outside the yard.
She peeked out of the kitchen, and saw the little woman coming towards her with a basket, followed by two swarthy men with stubs.
The little woman stood on the edge of the broken wall of Mo Zhenzhen's house and gestured to the two swarthy men, and spoke very quickly and instructed the two of them to hurry up and get the loess, it would be dark in a few later days!
The two swarthy men were not angry when they were commanded, but they both bared their teeth and smiled, and while answering the little woman's words, they carried their poles to the river.
When the two men left, the little woman stepped over the broken wall and came to Mo Zhenzhen with small steps.
"Oh, you kid, why didn't you change your clothes when you came back? You're comfortable wearing these dirty clothes. ”
The little woman is very familiar, and when she came to Mo Zhenzhen, she naturally stretched out her hand and pushed the kitchen door wider, and then stepped into the kitchen with her little feet.
"Oh, this kitchen ......," the little woman glanced at the kitchen, which had only one large iron pot, and couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while.
She walked to the iron pot silently, raised her hand and lifted the lid on the iron pot, and the 'wild vegetable soup' that Mo Zhenzhen had eaten before was still inside.
The little woman wrote the word disgust on her face, and then closed the lid of the iron pot, and then put the basket on her wrist on the dilapidated stove, lifted the cloth on it, and went outside.
"You've been living this day, and that's too improvised."
The little woman's basket contained three white masks, four or five eggs, and a small strip of boiled meat.
Mo Zhenzhen's eyes were sharp, and she also saw the white candles, paper money and incense placed inside, and she knew what these things were immediately.
And the little woman was digging things out, and she was also thinking about it.
"I originally wanted to go to see my sister, but today is her death day, and I still think about her. But you've been like this all these days, and I'm not going to take these things around. Don't dislike this as a sacrifice, it's all good things, don't be stupid and think about your father, your mother and your heartless brother, look at your skinny and hemp, your family still wants to exchange you for money, it's really black......" The little woman suddenly closed her mouth when she said this, thinking about it, she also knew that she had lost her words, and she shouldn't have said what the family had said in front of Li Azhen.
But there is something to say about it, and this little woman is really not unhappy.
Therefore, after two seconds of entanglement, she said to Mo Zhenzhen again.
"Don't blame your aunt for talking too much, what age is this, your father and mother still want to arrange an arranged marriage for you! Although our Hongzao Village is poor, it still provides a lot of college students, and we are also sensible. So don't be too obedient to your parents, if they want money, let them marry. Speaking of which, your mother is five or six years older than the old bachelor, if she really treasures her son, why not marry herself! ”
The more the little woman spoke, the more unreliable she became, Mo Zhenzhen didn't refute, just lowered her head and listened, but she could clearly feel her resistance.
The little woman quickly shut up when she said this.
She is the kind of person who can't control her mouth, she is not bad, she just has a fast mouth.
After hesitating for a moment, the little woman smiled at Mo Zhenzhen, and then said slowly.
"Ah Zhen, go change your clothes, don't worry, the wall can be repaired today, and the aunt has to leave beforehand."
The little woman came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Mo Zhenzhen's eyes turned around the food on the stove, and after thinking about it, she loaded the food, closed the kitchen door, and walked away with the basket.
Mo Zhenzhen carried a basket along the road in the village to the ancestral hall, observing the surroundings as she walked.
Before, the village was quiet, but now there are many people.
Some sat in the courtyard to choose vegetables, some chattered through the wall, and some sat in the shade to enjoy the shade.
These people are very friendly when they see Mo Zhenzhen, some will greet her directly and ask her where she is going, and some will stuff something into her, in short, they are very kind.
"Where are you going, kid, how did you get covered in mud? Did someone bully you? ”
There was an aunt who was washing vegetables in the yard, and when she saw Mo Zhenzhen passing by, she hurriedly stopped her, and the vegetables were not washed, so she took two red tomatoes and a handful of small cabbage.
The little cabbage was stuffed into the basket by this aunt, but the two tomatoes were stuffed into Mo You's palm by her.
"You taste this persimmon, this year's persimmon grows well, and it tastes very sweet...... Where are you going? Do you want to worship? ”
Mo Zhenzhen's big basket was not hidden, and everyone could see what was inside.
When she saw the white mask eggs and boiled meat, she immediately guessed what Mo Zhenzhen wanted to do.
At that moment, the aunt's gaze at her became more and more pity.
"Good boy, I know you are bitter in your heart, your father and mother are really not a thing...... It's better for you to talk to your grandparents about this, and let the second elder dream of beating your father's bastard to death! ”
After saying this, the girl wiped her wet hands on her clothes, and went into the house as she wiped them.
"Wait, it's not possible to go to the grave without incense, you wait for your aunt to get it for you!"
The woman went into the house, and when she came out again, she had a small bundle of incense, two white candles, and a stack of gold paper for folding gold ingots.
The aunt stuffed things into Mo Zhenzhen's basket, and said to Mo Zhenzhen after stuffing them.
"Ancestor worship is sincere, but you can't expect your ancestors to do everything. Some things still have to be done by yourself, you are just too soft, your father and mother dare to bully you like this! ”
Mo Zhenzhen whispered 'thank you', and the expression on the aunt's face became even more sympathetic after hearing this.
Under such a sympathetic gaze, Mo Zhenzhen continued to raise her feet and go to the cemetery.
