Song Li stretched out her hand to take the bowl, and in the bowl was half a bowl of yellow and heavy corn paste, she took a sip and felt a little strained, only to find that there were some buckwheat noodles in the corn paste.

The eldest lady looked at Song Li and saw her eating Xiangswen, and she was a little curious, "Girl, who are you?" Although this girl's face is hurt, but looking at her temperament, she doesn't look like a villager, but a bit like the eldest ladies from the city who came to the countryside a few years ago.

Song Li looked dazed, and she shook her head for a moment. She didn't know that her mind was blank right now.

Seeing that Song Li had not spoken, the eldest lady asked, "Girl, are you unable to speak?" "I haven't opened my mouth since I saw her.

Song Li stopped drinking corn paste, her mouth moved, and she wanted to speak, but she could only make a "babbling" sound, frowned, and shook her head. It seems that he really can't speak.

"What a poor boy." The eldest lady looked at Song Li with a sympathetic face, and seeing that Song Li had finished eating the corn paste, she reached out and took the bowl, squatted by the stream to wash the bowl, put it next to the wooden basin she had just brought, took out the clothes in the wooden basin and began to wash it.

"Girl, do you know where your home is?" The eldest lady put soap on her clothes and beat them with the sticks she brought.

Song Li shook his head blankly.

The eldest lady sighed helplessly and thought for a while, "Otherwise, you will live in my house first, and I will be alone anyway." ”

Song Li nodded. She also has nowhere to go now.

After the eldest lady washed her clothes, Song Li reached out and wanted to take the wooden basin in the eldest mother's hand.

"No, I'll move it, you just hold the bowl." The eldest lady put the bowl into Song Li's hand and walked towards her house with Song Li, "My husband's surname is Su, and everyone calls me Aunt Su." ”

Song Li nodded in understanding.

Aunt Su smiled, "Do you know words?" "I heard that there are no illiterate girls in the city.

Song Li frowned and thought about it, and shook his head. She didn't know if she could read or write.

"It doesn't matter if you can't read, you will follow me to farm and raise chickens in the future." Aunt Su said with a smile. Now that the reform and opening up has passed, life is better, she planted some land by herself, raised a few chickens, and when the chickens laid eggs, she could take them to the market and sell the eggs. Although eggs can't be sold for a few bucks, a pound of meat is still no problem. As for the vegetables and rice, they are all grown by the family.

Several villagers were chatting under the locust tree, and they were all a little curious when they saw Aunt Su walking over with Song Li.

"Aunt Su, who is this person?"

"She doesn't look like someone from our village."

Aunt Su stopped and looked at a few villagers who were sitting under the locust tree, "This is a distant relative of mine, and there was a little change in her family, so she came to join me." ”

"That's good, you happen to have a companion by yourself."

"No, I'll go back to dry my clothes first, and I'll talk to you when I'm done." Aunt Su took the wooden basin and walked to her house with Song Li. The reason why she took Song Li in was because she was pitiful, and because she was alone, she had always been lonely.

When Aunt Su and Song Li walked away, several people under the tree began to talk about them.

"Did you see the face of that relative of Aunt Su? That face was really terrifying. ”

"It's not, if I were Aunt Su, I wouldn't have taken her in, otherwise I would have to be scared to death when I saw that face in the middle of the night."

"Aunt Su is really, she lives so tightly, and she also takes in relatives."

"She will regret it later."

Aunt Su pushed open the courtyard door, and what caught her eye was a dilapidated thatched house, with mud-made walls, and there were holes in several places on the wall, and the holes were stuffed with sacks.

Under the eaves there is a chicken shed made of bamboo, and six or seven chickens are leisurely swaying in front of the chicken shed, pecking at the insects on the ground with their beaks from time to time.

Aunt Su put the wooden basin on the chair at the door, led Song Li into the house, she pushed open the door of one of the rooms, "Girl, this is my son's room, he hasn't been home since he went out five years ago, you can live here first." ”

Speaking of her son, Aunt Su's eyes were filled with tears. For so many years, she has been looking forward to her son's return, but her son has not been heard from, and the hope in her heart has gradually faded.

Song Li nodded and looked at the room, the furnishings in the room were very simple, there was only a wooden bed.

"I'll go get you a quilt." Aunt Su walked into her room opposite. Her son hasn't come back all these years, but she has kept her son's quilt, and as long as the weather is good, she will take it to the yard to dry, for fear that her son will suddenly come back without a quilt.

Soon Aunt Su helped Song Li lay out the quilt on the bed, "I'll go out to dry the clothes, you rest in the room for a while, and when I dry the clothes, take you to the village health center to get some medicine, you can't be sloppy with the injuries on your face." ”

Aunt Su glanced at the hurt on Song Li's face and sighed heartbrokenly. A girl's family hurts her face, how can she marry in the future?

In her concept, if a woman does not marry, she will suffer for a lifetime. Just like her, after her husband died, she was often bullied by the villagers. A woman who has no support has a really hard life.
