Chapter 244

"What? Lucky star?" Wang Jinzhi asked a little worriedly, "Is it working?"

Xu Dongmei nodded and said, "It's amazing! When everyone chose Su Xiaomeng as the captain, it was because his little niece is a lucky star, and they wanted to get some good luck."

As soon as she finished speaking, her sister sneered, "Mother, don't listen to her nonsense, I saw that little girl today, what kind of lucky star? Just an ordinary child, who can't even speak clearly. "

After finishing speaking, she said contemptuously: "It's really ignorant and ignorant! It's better if you don't go back to your mother's house in the future, lest people know that I have a superstitious and stupid sister like you, and it will embarrass me!"

Xu Dongmei didn't want to argue with her sister anymore.

"I've said everything I can say. I'm too lazy to say anything else, and I don't want to say it." After saying this, she turned and went out.

Seeing that Dongmei was very different from usual, Wang Jinzhi couldn't help but chase her out to ask her what's going on today?Why are you talking to your sister like that?

And the sentence she just said, "I don't think I will come back to this natal family for a long time..."

What does this mean?

Although she is married, she basically goes home every week to help with housework, chop firewood, carry water, and do laundry.

I still remember that a few days after they got married, Dongmei gave her fifty cents, saying that her mother-in-law bought her cloth for new clothes, and she was not willing to use it.

"Mom, you should save this money. You are old and you will not be bullied if you have some money."

Without saying a word of thanks, Wang Jinzhi accepted the fifty cents from his youngest daughter, and turned around to buy a piece of new fabric for her eldest daughter Chuntao to make new clothes.

If Dongmei doesn't come back in the future, who will split the firewood piled up in the woodshed every week?Don't expect her to take a penny back to her natal family, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Jinzhi hurriedly chased her out, "Dongmei, wait a moment."

Xu Dongmei stopped in her tracks and looked back at her mother, with a lingering hope in her eyes.

Even though she was completely disappointed with her natal family, deep down in her heart, she still hoped that her mother would love her, even if it was only a little bit, just a little bit.

Just as Wang Jinzhi was about to speak, her eldest daughter ran up and grabbed her sleeve and tugged it hard.

"Mom, why are you chasing her? Didn't you hear what she said about me just now? Let her go quickly, I'm annoyed seeing her." Xu Chuntao said angrily.

"I want to ask her..."

Wang Jinzhi hesitated for a while, and said, "Dongmei, do you have twenty cents? Your sister wants to take a donkey cart to the town clinic."

Xu Dongmei looked at her biological mother, and the only expectation left in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

"No." After finishing speaking, she left without a trace of nostalgia.

No matter how many times her mother called her this time, she never looked back.

Two cents can buy rice, how many families are willing to spend two cents to make a donkey cart?
When she was 17 years old, she had a persistent high fever. The barefoot doctors in the village told her to send her to the town health center as soon as possible, but her mother said it was too expensive to go by donkey cart.

Later, her two sister-in-laws took turns to apply cold towels to her overnight to lower the temperature.

Thinking of the countless similar incidents in the past, Xu Dongmei felt like crying and laughing at the same time.

When she raised her head, Jin Bao's cute big eyes and the words she said to herself, "Don't worry about writing, don't be afraid" appeared in her mind involuntarily.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of enlightenment, Xu Dongmei looked at the sky and smiled easily.

After laughing for a while, as if she saw something suddenly, she was stunned for a while, and rushed home to get a box of matches, a bag, a knife and a piece of wood, and immediately turned back to the road halfway up the mountain.

On the tree is a beehive, thick with wild honey, it looks like it weighs at least ten catties.

Xu Dongmei lit the wood first and smoked the bees away with the smoke. With a bag in her mouth and a knife in one hand, she climbed up the tree neatly.

Looking closely, the hive was much bigger than what I saw under the tree, and she filled most of the bag with glistening honey, which she scraped off a little.

Although the beehive was smoked in advance, there were too many bees after all. During this period, she was stung by bees a few times, and several large bumps quickly swelled on her hands.

Xu Dongmei "hissed" a few times, did not stop her hands, and continued to scrape the honey until the bag was completely full.

After filling it, she climbed down from the tree and ran to Su's house with a big bag of honey, "Ms. Li..."

"Who is it?" Li Xiu'e walked out the door, saw Xu Dongmei at a glance, and asked in confusion, "Why are you here again?"

Because of Xu Chuntao's relationship, she also felt uncomfortable looking at Xu Dongmei, and frowned.

Although this younger sister is much nicer and more polite than her older sister, but...

Why!Anyway, she just hoped that these two sisters would stop coming to her house and stop pestering Xiao Meng.

"This is from Jinbao!" Xu Dongmei handed the bag to Li Xiu'e.

"What?"

Li Xiu'e took the bag in doubt, opened it, her eyes were full of surprise.

Isn't this big bag of yellow, bright, and piece-by-piece things honey?
She hasn't seen Honey for many years, and the last time she saw it was when she married the fourth child.

In order to prepare half a bucket of rice as a bride price, she and her eldest son secretly went to the black market to buy food coupons.

If I remember correctly, a catty of honey sells for one yuan, which is ridiculously expensive. She thought that no one would buy it, but unexpectedly, it was sold out soon.

She was amazed, and her eldest son said: "Mother, it's not unusual, those capitalists are rich, and most of the things in the black market are sold to them."

"These capitalists are really moths, sucking the hard-earned money of the common people."

"No, the poorer you are, the more honorable you are. They are rich, but everyone calls for beatings. It's better for us. Poorer means poorer, but the status is higher!"

"That's right, we farmers have a high status!"

When Li Xiu'e said this, she was still thinking about the shiny honey just now, and kept swallowing.

After recalling what happened a few years ago, she looked down at the bag in her hand again, "It's really honey."

"I just scraped it off the tree. If it wasn't for Jinbao, I would never have encountered such a large hive."

When Xu Dongmei was talking, Xiao Jinbao who heard her talking to grandma came out of the house.

"big sister……"

Jin Bao ran towards Xu Dongmei with short legs.

Hearing her call her sister affectionately, Xu Dongmei's eyes were filled with flattery, and she patted her head, "When I was in the production team last time, I wanted to tell you that I am not my sister, but my aunt."

"I didn't have a baby, I'm an older sister." Xiao Jinbao had a smile on her face. She liked Xu Dongmei very much, and felt that she was completely different from her older sister.

At this time, Zhao Fengzhu came out of the house, not knowing what happened, "Mother, what's the matter? Are the sisters from the Xu family making trouble again?"

"I'm not here to make trouble," Xu Dongmei hurriedly explained, "I came back from my mother's house, when I went up the mountain, I just thought of Jinbao, and there was a big honeycomb in front of me, and I scraped off this honey specially for Jinbao to eat. "
