Qiao Yuerong shook her head at Chu Yizhi, then looked at Ning Xi from a distance, and smiled reassuringly.

This smile is even more misleading.

Chu Yixuan's face sank like water, he took Ning Xi's wrist silently, and said, "I said to protect you, so I will definitely protect you. No matter what, you have to follow me today."

Ning Xi's heart warmed, and she held his hand back, laughing after a long absence.

"En!" Ning Xi nodded vigorously.

Just at this time, the village chief asked her from below: "Ning Xi, would you like to stay in Pingyao Village, or would you like to go to the northwest with them? Uncle told you, the northwest is full of loess and desert, and there are no trees there. Without water, people will die of thirst in summer!"

Everyone looked at her, waiting for her answer.

The village head and Shen Wensheng thought that these threats would make Ning Xi retreat and stay at the Shen family, but Ning Xi said extremely firmly, "Don't be afraid, don't be thirsty! I, I want to go with my brother."

When Aunt Ma heard this, she almost fell backwards.

She cooked a meal today, and already felt that she was going to die of exhaustion, her legs were sore, her waist was sore, and she felt uncomfortable everywhere. She originally wanted Shen Huier to help light the fire, but this girl didn't know anything at all.

Just looking forward to Ning Xi coming back to cook and wash her clothes, the dead girl brought a few plague gods back and beat her up!
In the future, it’s fine if no one is in charge. Before Ning Xi’s one-acre subdivided land, she even thought about what kind of crops to plant. Now that Ning Xi has left with others, the commune will definitely want to return that land. Her life?
"No!" Aunt Ma cried, "Ning Xi, you heartless little bastard, I'll feed you and drink for you. I've raised you for two years. If you run away with others, you will run away with others..."

Qiao Yuerong interrupted coldly: "Ning Xi is my daughter now, keep your mouth clean!"

"Your daughter, you're not her own mother, so what kindness can you have?" Aunt Ma shouted loudly, "Village Chief, these two people come from unknown origins, and they came up to snatch their children. Why don't you hurry and drive them away!"

"Stop yelling, Dr. Chu just said that he was going to the provincial machinery factory next door, and he passed by here. The approval documents have been shown to us, can there be fakes?" The village chief waved his hand impatiently, "Ning Xi also said You don’t want to stay, didn’t you hear? Now that I know I can’t bear it, why didn’t I know how to treat other people’s children well before!”

After finishing speaking, he didn't bother to pay any more attention to Aunt Ma, turned around and shook hands with Chu Jiang, politely.

When Aunt Ma looked at it, she felt that she had encountered a huge loss. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Shen Guanjun who was furious beside her, and she was even more excited. She rolled on the ground and said that Qiao Yuerong had injured her and Shen Guanjun, and clamored for compensation.

If it was someone else, Qiao Yuerong might really give the money. After all, she was the one who hit him, and Shen Guanjun's hand was bitten by Ning Xi.But what Aunt Ma did was really in vain as a mother, and just beating her didn't relieve her anger at all.

Not to mention paying for medical expenses, if she doesn't send her to jail, she's accumulating virtue for Ning Xi.

"How much do you want?" Qiao Yuerong said.

"No one with 81, you don't want to leave!" Aunt Ma said sarcastically.

This is the second month since the household production contract was resumed. Most of the currency in circulation refers to food coupons and cloth coupons. It is not bad for a family to have ten yuan a year, and that is all she talks about.

Qiao Yuerong sneered: "I only have five yuan with me, I can give it to you."

Five yuan, five yuan is not a lot, and it will do.

Aunt Ma was about to agree, when she heard Qiao Yuerong say again: "But I don't think your injuries are worth so much money, otherwise, let me pay five yuan first."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the stick in the yard and swung it at her again.

It was the first time Aunt Ma saw a woman who was fiercer than her, and she was really scared of being beaten. She immediately ran into the main room, turned around and said a few ugly words to support the scene, in fact, she was almost scared died.

"Okay, the children are watching." Chu Jiang stopped Qiao Yuerong, "If you delay, you won't be able to reach the Western Province tonight, please be obedient."

Only then did Qiao Yuerong stop, and stared at Aunt Ma who was lying on the window of the main room and peeking out with disgust.

Shen Wensheng didn't have much right to speak, and he felt guilty towards Ning Xi, so he repeatedly confirmed Chu Jiang's employment approval and the phone number of the machinery factory, and in the end, he had to agree to let them leave.

Shen Hui'er didn't feel anything yet, she always hated Ning Xi, but she was clean after leaving.

Only Shen Guanjun chased after the tractor crazily, without saying a word, just stared at Ning Xi, and kept chasing until he couldn't run anymore, then fell to the ground, grinning his teeth and shouting hoarsely at the rear of the truck.

"Why bother?" The eldest brother shook his head, "Can a person with two legs run four wheels? I know I can't catch up..."

He sighed at the newly recognized younger sister in the corner, shook his head and sighed.

After sighing, he got excited again, and raised his chin at Ning Xi: "Child, call Big Brother to come and listen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yixuan gave him a kick on the calf.

Looking over in surprise, he saw his second younger brother staring at him displeasedly, and called him coolly: "Brother." Then he added, "Are you bored?"

Big brother: "..."
-
Three days later, the family trekked across mountains and rivers to the provincial machinery factory in the western province.

Ning Xi and her older brothers are almost familiar with each other, only the fourth brother, Chu Yiyang, seems to hate her very much.

He was in poor health, always coughing, and his skin was sickly pale, like a china doll.

In addition to looking fragile, Ning Xi didn't dare to approach him, every time he looked at Ning Xi, his eyes were full of hostility, which made Ning Xi subconsciously feel cold all over, and he didn't even dare to look at him.

"Let me tell you." Once, the fourth brother Chu Yiyang said arrogantly to Ning Xi, "Don't think that you are a girl and I will let you go. This is my home."

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Ning Xi was aware of it.

For the past two years, she lived at Aunt Ma's house, where she was beaten and scolded all day and had to do a lot of housework.

It was Aunt Qiao who rescued her from that dire situation - she was already very grateful for giving her a place to settle down, how could she compete with several brothers?
So she has always been called Aunt Qiao and Uncle Chu, and dare not call them Mom and Dad like her brothers, even though Aunt Qiao often encourages her to do so.

On the day the family moved into the machinery factory compound, there happened to be a sandstorm.

The yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, almost burying the machinery factory alive.

Qiao Yuerong closed the doors and windows, and took a few children to look at the yellow sand outside through the window glass, with indescribable shock and sorrow on her face.

This place is just too remote and too poor.

The machinery factory is at the foot of Molin Mountain in the suburbs of Western Province. The reason why it is called Molin Mountain is actually a literal translation of the local dialect. Because the mountain is bare, it is an extinct volcano. Not only is there no grass, but it is full of red flint. live.

It is well known that trees should be planted first for sand control, but the geological conditions here are not suitable at all.

Just as he and Chu Jiang were analyzing the data and information they had observed along the way, there was a knock on the door.

In such weather, who would come to them?
