Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 23 The Kind Sister Yan
She saw a little bit of hope yesterday and this morning, but now the hope in her heart is completely disillusioned, and she knows that some people will never change at all, and don't expect him to really change.

Rabbits can't be kept at home, what if Hua Yuantao sells them for wine?
Carrying the rabbit and pulling Hua Qingmu to Aunt Liao's house.

Hua Qingmu was crying, and asked with tears in his eyes: "Sister, didn't daddy say he won't drink? Why doesn't he say nothing?"

Hearing this Hua Xiaoqiao was also very sad, especially when she thought that Hua Qingmu would live in lies at such a young age, she sighed and looked at Hua Qingmu pitifully: "No matter how much father lies, sister hopes that he will not affect you. You, my sister believes that our Aoki will definitely become a kind and honest child, can you promise my sister to do it, Aoki?"

Hua Qingmu also knows that lying like Hua Yuantao is not good, especially how much Hua Yuantao hurts him when he lies, so he nodded and agreed: "Sister, don't worry, Aoki will not let My sister is disappointed, Aoki will definitely be an honest person."

After touching Hua Qingmu's head, he had already reached the door of Aunt Liao's house.

Aunt Liao was feeding the chickens in the yard, when she heard the knock on the door she hurriedly opened the door but saw Hua Qingmu with a mournful face, and Hua Xiaoqiao with a basket on her shoulders with a helpless expression on her face.

"What's the matter?" She guessed that something must have happened again.

Hua Xiaoqiao sighed and really didn't know what to say, so she could only look at Aunt Liao helplessly and said, "Aunt Liao, can I come in?"

Outside Aunt Liao's house is the village road, and there are people from the village passing by here. After all, Hua Yuantao's matter is a family matter. Aunt Liao can know that she really doesn't want to be heard by outsiders.

Aunt Liao was very worried. After Hua Xiaoqiao said so, something really happened.

"Come in, you two."

As he spoke, he opened the door and signaled the two of them to enter the yard.

The chickens in the yard were scared and ran around because someone came in, followed Aunt Liao into the house, Hua Xiaoqiao lifted the rabbit out of the basket: "Aunt Liao, can you keep the rabbit at your house for a while?"

Aunt Liao was a little surprised: "Where did this little Qiao rabbit come from?"

Hua Xiaoqiao explained: "I met a boy named Shen Yuncong on the mountain, and he compensated me and my brother."

Aunt Liao murmured: "Shen Yuncong." She lowered her eyebrows as if she was thinking about something, then suddenly raised her head and laughed, "I think of who Shen Yuncong is."

Hua Xiaoqiao also wanted to know who Shen Yuncong was and why he appeared in their village, and she had never seen him in the village before.

Aunt Liao took the rabbit from Hua Xiaoqiao's hand and untied the grass and vines on her legs, and put the rabbit in a cage in the corner outside the house.

"That Shen Yuncong is the eldest son of Mr. Shen from the private school in the next village. I heard that he likes hunting very much. He often comes to the back of our village. Your Uncle Xie has also met him several times. He is willing to give this rabbit to you."

Hua Qingmu explained: "We are going to dig wild vegetables on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. He set up a trap there, so he felt guilty and gave us the hare as compensation."

Hearing Hua Qingmu's explanation, Aunt Liao laughed: "This child is not bad, just now I saw you crying and tell Aunt Liao what happened."

As soon as he talked about crying, Hua Qingmu's face changed, and a sad expression appeared on his face again: "Aunt Liao is not because my father is a big liar who lied to us, he said last night that he wants to live a good life. I stopped drinking, and went to the city with my brother early in the morning, but when we returned just now, we saw him lying on the bed drunk."

Thinking of the life at home, they couldn't even afford to eat, Hua Yuantao didn't want to think about how to feed them young, but instead added burden to them, couldn't help spreading his own hands, which looked like children's hands Ah, as rough as a sack.

Aunt Liao has always sympathized with Hua Xiaoqiao and Hua Qingmu's three brothers and sisters, and was also very angry with Hua Yuantao's behavior: "Your father... hey, poor children, you haven't eaten yet, I'll get you two A pickled vegetable bun."

After saying that, he turned around and went out the door of the main room to bring two pickled vegetable buns for Hua Xiaoqiao and Hua Qingmu.

Wowotou tastes a bit bad in the mouth, but because the pickles are easier to swallow, it tastes pretty good. Now the two siblings are hungry, and the pickle and Wowotou are already delicious.

After coming here for a few months, Hua Xiaoqiao has already started to do as the Romans do, and started to chew on it: "Thank you, Aunt Liao."

Aunt Liao moved a stool for the two of them to sit down, and she herself sat on a low stool and sighed heavily: "Your father didn't look like this before, that is, it became like this after your mother died, your Uncle Xie I don't know how many times I scolded your father, but the result is still like this. Many times he promised you, Uncle Xie, to change himself, but he forgot in a blink of an eye. It can’t be changed, if you have a bite to eat, just give him a bite, so as not to let him starve to death, it’s also a sin.”

Looking at Hua Qingshan's three brothers and sisters, she felt very sour. She felt sorry for all three children, and especially for Hua Qingshan. Hua Qingshan was less than ten years old when he supported this family. Thinking of these things, she felt pain in her heart. Obviously, it is a miracle that the three brothers and sisters can live to this day.

Both Hua Qingmu and Hua Xiaoqiao lowered their heads, they thought the same way, although they disliked Hua Yuantao very much and hated Hua Yuantao very much, although the family was so poor that they could barely open the pot and ate the last meal without the next meal, but the real meal I still couldn't bear it when I was young, and I would give Hua Yuantao a bowl in the end.

It's just that when I think about these things, I still feel wronged and feel that life is very difficult.

"We know about Aunt Liao." Hua Xiaoqiao whispered, she couldn't bear to watch Hua Yuantao die.

Aunt Liao didn't want the two siblings to continue to be sad and changed the topic: "What are you two going to do with this rabbit?"

"I sold it. I wanted to exchange meat for my younger brother, but now my father can only exchange a little meat, and the rest of the money will be exchanged for corn." Hua Xiaoqiao can only change the previous plan in her heart, otherwise what It is said that the plan is not as fast as the change. On the way back, I planned to sell the rabbits to buy meat, but now...

Hua Qingmu also disagreed. Originally, he was also happy because he thought that there were more people making money in his family. They didn't have to live a life without a second meal. Now that Hua Yuantao is drunk again, think about it The most important thing is to fill your stomach.

Pulling Hua Xiaoqiao's hand and whispering; "Sister, I think we'd better exchange all the money for food, I'm afraid of starvation."

He will not forget that many times at night, he was woken up from hunger several times, and finally he could only drink cold water to fill his stomach, but every time he drank water and was full, he could only run back and forth to the toilet because of urinating.

Such a situation is undoubtedly torture in the winter.

Aunt Liao sighed again, and looked at the two of them distressedly: "Your Uncle Xie is going to help the villagers deliver things to the city tomorrow, so if you two want to go to the city, go, I will ask your Uncle Xie to take you along superior."

While talking, a girl with fair skin but about thirteen or fourteen years old came out of the back room.

As soon as Hua Xiaoqiao saw the girl, she shouted happily, "Sister Yan."

Sister Yan looked at Hua Xiaoqiao with a smile and beckoned to Hua Xiaoqiao. The light-white catkins protruded from the cuffs, just like a painting.

"Xiao Qiao came to my sister. A few days ago, my mother said to find you two sets of summer clothes. I rummaged through the box and found that there were several sets that I couldn't wear. Come in and try to see if you can wear them."

Sister Yan's voice is very nice, with a little bit of a soft and waxy feeling, and one can tell that she is very gentle when she hears this voice.

The one that Hua Xiaoqiao was still wearing had been with her all winter, and it was as hard as a slate-like cotton coat.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, and she feels like she's almost covered into a dumpling.

Hua Xiaoqiao stood up and walked towards Sister Yan with a smile: "Sister Yan, what beautiful things have you embroidered these two days?"

Sister Yan has a faint scent of sandalwood, which smells good and she likes it very much.

"What fun things are embroidered there? It's just an ordinary brocade handkerchief. It's just a bit more demanding and embroidered very slowly. I didn't want you, a girl, to learn from me at the beginning."

Sister Yan looked at Hua Xiaoqiao with some reproach.

The original owner Hua Xiaoqiao didn't like embroidery, which helped the current Hua Xiaoqiao. She was not a dexterous person since she was a child, and she never did more delicate work such as embroidery.

She always felt that if she was asked to do those laborious jobs, it would be fine, but if she was asked to farm the land, it would be fine, but embroidery would not work.

Following Sister Yan into the back room, the first thing I saw was a small table leaning against the window. Light came in from outside the window. On the table were embroidery work brought from the city.

Sister Yan handed all the folded clothes from the bed to Hua Xiaoqiao and said with some embarrassment: "They are all very old clothes and I hope you don't dislike them. In fact, these are also given by the people I wear, so The only thing better than the old ones is that they are made of good material, and they won’t cut you when you wear them.”

Hua Xiaoqiao never disliked these things, holding the clothes like a treasure: "Thank you, sister Yan, how could I dislike this clothes, it's too late to like it."

Hua Xiaoqiao was in a good mood and continued: "For me, as long as I have something to wear, look at the cotton padded clothes on my body, which almost cover me into a rice dumpling, and I'm too embarrassed to approach you, so there's no point in winter." A sour smell."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing herself, she was actually embarrassed.

Sister Yan was afraid that Hua Xiaoqiao would think too much, so she deliberately took a step forward: "I think it's a good thing I didn't smell the sour smell you mentioned. By the way, I have something for you."

Sister Yan suddenly laughed, went to the cabinet where the clothes were placed, opened it and took out a small paper bag: "Try this brown sugar that my uncle bought for me. It's delicious. I'll be waiting for you for a few days." Every time you stay in the yard and don’t come in, you’ve lost too much blood and need blood replenishment, I heard old people say that this brown sugar can produce blood, you take it.”
