Chapter 20 Back to Mother's Home

It was just dawn, and the diligent people in Lihua Village were already preparing dry food to go to Dongshan to pick chestnuts. Even though they were busy on the mountain all afternoon yesterday, they didn't feel anything. What's wrong with being tired?
Although I am a little tired, I can have food!

When Nanzhi went to Aunt Liu's house to borrow a donkey cart, it happened that their family was packed and ready to go out.

Seeing that Nanzhi and Gou'er had changed into tattered clothes today, Aunt Liu was stunned for a while. Although everyone would wear old clothes for work, isn't their outfit a bit too shabby today?

Looking at the patches stacked on top of each other, it's almost as good as that patchwork clothes.

After thinking about it, I still couldn't hold back and asked, "Girl, why are you wearing this dress today?"

Nanzhi originally thought that Aunt Liu was looking at him in a strange way, but she understood the reason when she asked her a question, so she just smiled and said, "I want to go back to my mother's house today, so I came here to ask Auntie to borrow a donkey cart."

Aunt Liu naturally knew that she borrowed money from her natal family for the burial of Nanzhi's parents-in-law, so she nodded after hearing this: "What do you mean by borrowing or not? You just have to use it to hold it."

After a pause, he added: "You are a good kid. After all, life is hard now, but you have to save enough food for you two."

Nan Zhi nodded with a smile: "Oh, I understand."

Aunt Liu called her youngest son to help Nanzhi move things, and she nodded in satisfaction when she saw the two of them driving the donkey cart slowly towards the entrance of the village.

"Mother, what are you laughing at?" Shen Yuntian looked at his old mother and squinted her eyes at the backs of Mrs. Lin and the others. Goosebumps all over her body for a moment, why was her mother so weird.

"Sister-in-law Lin, why is she dressed like that today?"

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes when she heard her youngest son muttering in a low voice, seeing how a person who is usually very clever can't even see this thing now, she must have followed her old man's stupid brain.

Thinking of what his old man looked like last night, he snorted coldly before turning around and calling everyone in the yard to set off.

Shen Yuntian couldn't figure it out for a moment, was he rejected by A Niang?

Looking at his aunt and the old clothes on his body, he seemed to have suddenly understood, just touched his nose and followed his family's footsteps.

"Aniang, shall we go to grandma's place?" Gou'er sat upright beside Nan Zhi, with some dust on his face.

He remembered that there were two elder brothers in his grandmother's family, and they were so fun.

"Yes, let's go to grandma's."

Nanzhi was driving the little donkey, feeling a little emotional in her heart, she just regarded it as visiting relatives, and at first she and the dog wore better clothes.

It was only when she was about to leave that she realized that although she was delivering food to her mother's family this time, if she dressed well this year, wouldn't she be telling others that she had food in stock?

Then he hurried back with the dog and changed into the most ragged clothes.

Looking at the dog's white and clean face, he always felt that something didn't fit him, so he grabbed some charcoal dust and smeared it on his face before going out satisfied.

The dog's current appearance is almost exactly the same as the one I saw when I came here, just a poor doll.

Lihua Village and Dashi Village were separated by more than ten miles, and the donkey cart creaked and swayed for half an hour before they arrived.

Due to the geographical location, the conditions in Dashi Village are worse than those in Lihua Village. Now it has been drought for more than half a year, and Dashi Village is not facing the river. The village only relies on three wells to live.

There is no water for the food in the field, and the sparse growth is no match for weeds.

Nanzhi didn't even see anyone along the way, and she occasionally met someone who was already thin, so she couldn't recognize who it was.

It was already dawn, and if it were Lihua Village, most of the people would have gone to the ground, but this Dashi Village was as quiet as an empty village, not even the sound of crickets could be heard.

"Auntie."

The dog was a little scared, and moved towards Nan Zhi, holding her clothes tightly with a small hand, as if this would make him less afraid.

"Good boy, we're almost there." Nan Zhi comforted softly, but her heart was a little beating.

After finally reaching the door of Lin's house, Nan Zhi hesitated for a while before knocking on the door.

After a while there was no response, Nan Zhi still had some doubts whether there was no one at home, but just as he was about to turn around, he heard the wooden door being opened slightly.

A small head poked out from the crack of the door. When the little doll saw the person coming, he yelled crisply: "Auntie."

Seeing the little doll, the dog's eyes lit up, he climbed out of the donkey cart, and called out to the child, "Brother Doudou."

The one who opened the door was Brother Nanzhi's youngest son, Doudou. Doudou is two years older than Gou'er. The last time I saw Nanzhi was when she came back to borrow money more than a year ago.

"Doudou, are the adults here?"

After hearing what Nanzhi said, Doudou nodded, and opened the door to let Nanzhi in: "He's at home."

The doors of the farmyard were all wide open, and Nanzhi followed the two little dolls and drove the donkey cart into the yard.

The members of the Lin family also left the main room when they heard the commotion, and they were stunned when they saw Nan Zhi coming with the dog, but they didn't say anything, they just greeted them and entered the house.

"Girl..." Mother Lin saw her little girl's nose sore, and she just dragged her to sit down.

"Old woman, what are you doing? Isn't the child all right!" Father Lin said a little unhappy looking at his wife.

It's a good thing for the child to come back, it's not ridiculous to cry.

Lin Dacheng and Lin Ercheng looked at their sister's appearance and felt a little distressed. My sister brought children orphans and widows. I don't know how difficult it is to live in this world. It's okay to see my little nephew and a beggar. It's different. Although the family doesn't have enough to eat, at least the children aren't hungry.

As for the two sisters-in-law, Sun Cui and Chen Qiulan, who were standing aside, their faces were a bit ugly.

The two sisters-in-law take turns cooking at home, and they naturally know how much food is left at home. The only thing left is half a bag of black noodles in the kitchen and less than two hundred catties of sweet potatoes in the cellar.

Life at home is hard, looking at the appearance of my sister-in-law and the dog, I'm afraid they came here to seek refuge.

Lin's mother naturally knew what her two daughters-in-law were thinking, and without waiting for Nanzhi to speak, she just held her hand and said, "Girl, it's good to be back, don't worry, your father and your two brothers can still support your mother." both."

Nan Zhi only felt that his nose was sore, and before he could open his mouth, his body already cried out instinctively, and he only yelled: "Mother!"

The mother and daughter naturally hugged each other and cried. Although Nanzhi was out of control, she gave up struggling with the snot running out of her nose. It was probably caused by the original body's emotions.

She also felt that she was miserable. She crossed over just after being admitted to the university she liked, and even dressed like a widow who had problems with food and clothing.

Father Lin clicked on the empty dry smoke, feeling a little worried.

Although he was happy when his daughter came back with her grandson, he was afraid that it would not be fair to Dacheng and Ercheng's family.

"This……"

Father Lin looked at his two sons with some hesitation.

Knowing father Mo Ruozi, Lin Dacheng knew his father's concerns just by looking at his father's appearance, so he spoke first: "Let Fatty stay at home, Ercheng and I can afford it."

But Gou'er heard his uncle's words and turned his head to look at Doudou: "Brother Doudou, who is Fatty?"

Doudou looked at the dog with a smile, pointed to Zhizhizhi and said, "It's my aunt. Daddy said that my aunt used to be fat, so she was called fat girl."

Nanzhi, who was still crying so much that his snot was flowing, paused, only to feel that even his snot, which was still shrinking, had stagnated.

"Let's stay, sister-in-law." Sun Cui felt a little uncomfortable seeing her husband's appearance, so she just opened her mouth.
