Reborn 1980 The Thousand Gold Peasant Girl

Chapter 25
There are five villages of different sizes around Fuyuan County, and all school-age children in the villages go to primary and secondary schools in Fuyuan County.Because there are many children, the scale of primary and secondary schools in Fuyuan County is relatively large, and the two schools are next to each other.

Xiashan Village is a village far from Fuyuan County, and it takes half an hour to walk.There are dozens of children in the village who go to elementary school alone, and hundreds of children who go to junior high school.

Early in the morning, many children went to the entrance of the village in twos and threes. After turning onto the main road, some were waiting for the ox cart by the side of the road, while others continued to walk.

There is a village called Sanhe Village to the north of Xiashan Village, because it is too far away from the county seat, and every school day, villagers with cattle at home will hitch a bullock cart and start a business of taking their children to school.It costs three cents per person, and you can earn eight cents for a trip.

People with a lot of money don't care about the three or four cents, but there are still many children in Xiashan Village who go to school on foot.For example, these members of the Ning family, they came out early and were not afraid of being late.

Although Ning Huimin was young, with Zhang Heping following her, she was not afraid that the child would be too tired to walk, and if she couldn't, she would arrive with her back.

After walking for more than half an hour to Fuyuan County Primary School, Zhang Heping sent away several boys and took Ning Huimin to go through the enrollment procedures.

Ever since she left the house, Ning Huimin had a smile on her face.After coming to school, she was even more proud, because she was the only one wearing a bright red sweater among so many children.

She can always see a lot of girls looking enviously at the red sweater on her body, which makes her enjoy it very much.

Outside the school gate, an obese man was gnawing on some biscuits in his hands at a food stall. He looked into the school gate from time to time, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

After watching for a while, he took a few mouthfuls of sesame seed cakes and soy milk in his hand, paid the money, and wandered out of the county seat.

Fuyuan County is not too big. There are only two roads leading to the outside of the county, one goes east and the other goes north. There are many bullock carts parked at the two intersections.

The man came to the east intersection and walked to a bullock cart.

"Uncle, can you go now?"

The old man was smoking dry tobacco, and asked with a smile when he saw a business coming. "Come on, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Yangcun."

The old man looked at the clothes of the person in front of him. This person was wearing a bulky gray suit and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet.People who can wear a suit will not be short of money, so he weighed in and offered a price.

"piece."

The man didn't even make a counter-offer, and directly took out a piece and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

"Let's go, I'm in a hurry."

The old man took the money with a smile, "Okay, you're done." As he spoke, he shook the rein, and the old cow slowly started on the road.

Xiashan Village, at the entrance of the village.Zhang Liujia was holding a handful of paws in his hand, and she was the only one under the white skin at noon.

The men in the family have gone to the field, and the children have gone out to school.No one was looking after the house, so she just came here to sit and pass the time.

Just as I was feeling flustered, I saw a familiar figure approaching the entrance of the village. The members of Zhang Liu's family stood up and squinted their eyes to look carefully.

The figure got closer and closer, her eyes lit up, and she walked up to meet it quickly.

"Hey! Sister! Why are you here today!?"

"I'm also on the way, just come and have a look."

"Let's go, let's talk at home, there is no one at home today."

"No, I'll just come and see you. I have to go back later, so let's just wander around in the village."

"What is there to do in the village!?"

"It's okay." The woman pulled past Zhang Liu's family and walked into the village involuntarily.

"Hey, as soon as this kid goes to school, the village will be clean."

"Well, with those little bastards around, the village is making noise all day long."

"Oh? Why doesn't that child go to school?" The woman pointed to a place at the foot of the mountain.

"Oh, you're talking about a local girl. No one cares about the child, and the mother is dead, and the stepmother and father don't want to see each other."

The woman's eyeballs moved, "It's so pitiful."

"That's right, her stepmother still beats and scolds all day long. I think animals live better than that child."

"Oh? What happened to the Ning family child that you mentioned earlier?"

"Oh, you mean the one you brought back from Haishi? What else can I do, let's keep it at home."

The woman asked again, "The child didn't go to school?"

"The child is only five years old. If he wants to go, the school won't accept him. But his little granddaughter will go to school in September, and she just turns seven."

"Is that so... the old lady of the Ning family is usually there?"

"Of course the old godly woman is there. The two men and the daughter-in-law of their family have gone to the field, and the girl and the old woman are the only ones at home. Sister, why are you asking this?"

The woman rolled her eyes and smiled. "Just chatting, just ask casually, by the way, sister bought this for you."

The woman took out a piece of rose red floral cotton cloth from her satchel, "Although it is cotton, it is fine cotton. Look at how tight the weave is. It is comfortable to wear."

"Sister, thank you so much, I still miss my sister."

"There's nothing to be thankful for. I'll give you something when it's done. I should go back."

Looking at the back of leaving, Zhang Liujia looked puzzled.Her sister came here on purpose, just to give herself a piece of cloth?
Looking at the brightly colored cloth in his hand, Zhang Liu's family didn't think about it any more.Walking home happily, she had to think about what kind of clothes to make with this cloth.

The woman left Xiashan Village and went north, came to Sanhe Village, found a village woman who was idle to inquire about the situation in the village, and finally rented a bullock cart and went to Fuyuan County.

After wandering around the county for a long time, I couldn't find anyone, so I had to go back to the village first.

When I got home, I found that the man had already returned, "Why did you come back first, didn't you say you were waiting for me in the county?"

"You are stupid, Brother Fei and his gang are all in the county, am I looking for death by staying there?"

The woman slammed down the cloth bag in her hand, pointing at the man's nose and cursing with resentment on her face.

"You have the nerve to say, isn't it because you gambled that we could become what we are now! You have lost all the money you have worked so hard to earn in the past few years. This is great, even..."

The man was impatient to listen to the woman's nagging, so he slapped her.

With a 'pop', the woman was knocked to the ground, staring blankly at the man.

"You... you hit me..."

The man's face was flushed with irritability and anger, "Wang Lan! Now we are grasshoppers that fell on one body, and you have a part in what happened before! What's the use of you scolding me now! Those people deliberately set up a trap and framed me!" Tell me to gamble and blackmail my money! Do you understand! What can I do!! If I don’t gamble, they will take you and the child!!”

The woman's eyes widened and her face turned pale. "You... what did you say?!"

The man suddenly spread out on the chair, holding his hair tightly with his hands, pulling it over and over again.

"Hey! We were targeted by them after we built the house. And I don't know where those people got the news about the business we did. They threatened me and told me about it if I didn't gamble. Police! When I get caught, I will deal with you and the child! What do you think I can do!? I know it’s a fire pit, but I still have to jump into it!!”
