Be a charter woman in the chronology

"Okay, I'll return it when I get back to the village, Mom... tell me, the people in the village don't seem to like him very much." Seeing that there were no acquaintances around him, Tong Siyu hesitated for a while, but curiosity prevailed, and said asked.

"Hey, it's not that those few families spread rumors shamelessly. People in the village seldom have contact with the people in the cowshed, and they can't help them say it. If there are more people who say it, more people will believe it." Zhou Ying He looked a little unhappy, and his tone was blunt.

"Tell me, Mom, look." Tong Siyu twisted Zhou Ying's hand and coquettishly, then raised the mung bean cake in his hand and continued, "I'll go find it later. He’s returning things, and I’m afraid to go if you don’t tell me.”

"Have you seen that kid's mother? I've seen it a few times. It's really beautiful. It looks like a cultured person. It's gentle and soft-spoken. Let alone the village, you can't find such a beautiful girl in the town." , was sent down again, and there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old child by his side, those bums in the village..." Zhou Ying consciously slipped her tongue when she said this and refused to say any more.

In the end, he concluded: "The person who hit the child deserves to be beaten. If he was so young, if he didn't want to die, how could he scare away those rascals in the village? Don't listen to the villagers' nonsense that Xiao Lu is a good kid. When he first came You played with him for a while, don't you forget?"

"Ah, is there such a thing?" Tong Siyu was puzzled, why did she have no memory of such a thing, could it be that something went wrong when receiving the message?

At this time, there were more people on the bullock cart, and the mother and daughter stopped chatting and took out the water bottle to drink water and rest: "Dear girl, do you feel that the water in our tank is much better, and it feels like drinking too much Everyone has followed suit," Zhou Ying whispered in Tong Siyu's ear.

"...No way", Tong Siyu felt that Zhou Ying was really perceptive, and she had already diluted the spirit liquid added to the water tank several times, so she thought of an excuse to break the topic.

There was no expectation on the way back. Tong Siyu felt that it was too long. There was no shelter on the bullock cart. She leaned her head on Zhou Ying's shoulder and fell asleep. When Zhou Ying was about to see Duke Zhou in the daytime Gently pushed her shoulder: "Da Ya is up, we are here".

Tong Siyu opened his eyes bewilderedly, the people on the bullock cart had already started to get off in twos and threes, and the ones who wanted something happily moved home with their things.

Zhou Ying was also in a good mood. After greeting the villagers with the unfinished bamboo weaving on her back, she strode home with Tong Siyu.

As soon as he approached the door, the door suddenly opened. Tong Siwu poked his head out and saw Zhou Ying and Tong Siyu. He rushed to the front and shouted: "Mom, where are my meat buns?"

"Little glutton can't do without you. The meat buns in the state-run restaurant are gone. Mom went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some rock candy for you and sister." Zhou Ying patted Tong Siwu's head and said coaxing a child.

At such a young age, Tong Siwu didn't know what expression management was. When he heard that there were no more meat buns, his little face collapsed immediately, but when he heard that his mother brought back rock candy, he immediately smiled again.

Tong Siyu took out the rock candy from his pocket and gave it to Tong Siwu, and then the three of them entered the room happily.

"The child's mother is back, the meal is ready, and I'm waiting for you to come back." Tong Zhenguo rarely did not weave bamboo strips, and sat at the dining table to rest quietly.

"Why are you really waiting for us, you eat first", Zhou Ying said in her heart, she was still happy, although the family was poor, but the hearts of the people were united.

"Come on, you and Da Ya have worked hard this morning." Tong Zhenguo had a smile on his face, and he looked energetic.

Thinking about his wife and children all morning, Tong Zhenguo and Tong Siwu, who came back from school, worked together to cook some corn grits porridge and a few steamed buns at noon, and a plate of pickled vegetables from home.

After everyone was all together, they sat under the eaves to avoid the sun, and ate their meals with a huff.

After lunch, Tong Zhenguo continued to weave bamboo strips. He couldn't earn work points, so he was very strict about this matter.

Zhou Ying took a dustpan and sat next to Tong Zhenguo to help out from time to time, and at other times, she picked out the radish seeds that had been exchanged to check their appearance.

After eating, Tong Siwu ran to the elementary school in the village. Tong Siyu had nothing to do, so he was tired all morning and became drowsy. After a few yawns, Zhou Ying sent him to his room to take a nap.

When Tong Siyu woke up rubbing his eyes, Zhou Ying had already carefully hoeed the open space in the yard, and the bamboo strips in Tong Zhenguo's hands were out of shape.

Tong Siyu felt a little embarrassed after knowing it. Although she is only 15 years old physically, her mental age is definitely not young.

"Mom, let me help," Tong Siyu said while tying up her hair.

"No, your mung bean cake is about to be returned. If it's expensive, it won't be good if it breaks," Zhou Ying said without raising her head.

"That's right," Tong Siyu slapped his head and turned back to the house, completely forgetting about it.

After getting mung bean cakes, Tong Siyu simply washed his face and went out.

The cowshed is at the very edge of the village. Today, because there is no organization to go to work in Ganji Village, Tong Siyu wants to come to the cowshed to find someone after going out.

The cattle shed used to be an old house in the village. The backside was too humid because it was close to the creek, and there were many mosquitoes. When the villagers built their houses, they gradually moved to the current place. I saw two dilapidated mud houses that were worse than theirs. It looked like a dilapidated house, and there was no fence, so I used a few pieces of wood to repair a fence, although it was dilapidated, it was clean.

In the small enclosed courtyard, two kinds of seasonal vegetables were planted. It could be seen that the people who grew the vegetables were not very skilled.

In the courtyard, there was a woman sitting under the eaves of the thatched roof, mending the clothes on her hands in the sunlight, and raising her hands to cover her cough from time to time.

"Wen... Aunt Wen, is Lu Jici here? Shall I return his things?" Tong Siyu hesitated for a while, not knowing what to call.

Wen Xin raised her head in surprise when she heard the voice. No one came to this place on weekdays. She quickly stood up, put the clothes in her hand on the stool, and walked over to open the small gate of the fence.

"You are the eldest girl of Zhou Ying's family. Come in and sit down. Ji Ci is not at home now. Are you in a hurry? If you are not in a hurry, you can wait here with Aunt Wen." The smile on Wen Xin's face is kind and natural, which can easily make people feel Like a spring breeze.

"Don't bother Aunt Wen. My mother is digging the ground at home. I have to go back and help. I'll just give it back to you. It was given to me by Lu Jici when he went to the market in the morning. I didn't help much, so I'm sorry to accept him." things", Tong Siyu held the mung bean cake with both hands and handed it to Wen Xin.

"Big girl, if I accept it, Ji Ci will be angry. Do you think this is okay? He must be sleeping by the stream now. If you go to find him, just walk a few steps forward." Wen Xin heard Tong Siyu was not angry at her refusal, and went back to the room to pour a glass of water for Tong Siyu to moisten his throat.

Tong Siyu didn't want to embarrass Wen Xin, thinking that it would be okay to walk two steps by himself anyway, so he waved goodbye to Wen Xin and walked along the stream to find Lu Jici.

Tong Siyu didn't take a few steps forward when he saw Lu Jici resting under a big banyan tree covering his face with a big leaf. He was hesitating how to call him, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Lu Jici's ears were sharp, and as soon as he heard the sound, he turned over and sat up, his whole body was on guard, seeing that it was Tong Siyu, he didn't bother to speak, took the leaf to cover his face and lay down again.

"Lu Jici, this mung bean cake is too expensive, you can take it back, I can't help you today, you are too polite", Tong Siyu walked to Lu Jici and whispered.

Lu Jici didn't respond as if he didn't hear anyone talking. Seeing this, Tong Siyu felt that this guy was really rude, and he also became angry. He put mung bean cakes beside him and wanted to leave.

"Throw away things if you don't want them, don't put them in front of me." Lu Jici's indifferent voice came from under the leaves. Xu felt that Tong Siyu's arrival disturbed his innocence, so he pulled the leaves off his face, He stared at Tong Siyu expressionlessly.

After watching for a while, he suddenly stood up and walked quickly, walking far away like a plague god.

Tong Siyu's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to throw his things here and leave, but he felt that he was already an adult, and he really shouldn't care about these seventeen or eighteen-year-old children who were in their rebellious period.

This trip was a waste of time, how did Tong Siyu come out with mung bean cakes and how did he take them back.

Facing Zhou Ying's suspicious gaze after returning home, she had no choice but to say weakly: "He doesn't want it, so I just throw it away if I don't want it."

"Hey, this kid is really stubborn. Since I gave it to you, keep it. I will help his mother as much as I can in the future." Zhou Ying put down the hoe in her hand and said while drinking water.

"That's okay, it's impossible to really throw it away, let's eat together when Siwu comes back," Tong Siyu said, putting mung bean crisps into the kitchen, holding a bowl and pressing them down.

At this time, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had disappeared from the heat of the noon. Zhou Ying and Tong Siyu scatter the radish seeds on the freshly hoeed ground together.

Zhou Ying took a pole and a bucket to carry water, and Tong Siyu found a ladle to water the field, and the radish field was tidied up just after it got dark.

The night was full of stars, and the Tong family of four moved the dining table to a small yard, and secretly ate the salted fish stewed with dried vegetables under the moonlight, but this salted fish was also the last one. Moving on to the sweet potatoes.

Tong Siyu couldn't help shivering when he thought about the three meals a day of sweet potatoes. In the past two days, he had to go to the mountains to see if he could find anything to eat. .

Tong Siyu, who was looking down for something to eat, was stuffed with mung bean cakes by Tong Siwu.

Mmm, so sweet!

"Sister, mung bean cakes are so delicious," Tong Siwu said, smacking his lips after eating one of his own.

Zhou Ying raised her hand and handed her piece to Tong Siwu. Siwu's little head shook like a rattle: "Mom, I've finished eating mine. My sister said something good and I want my family to eat together."

Tong Siyu patted Siwu's head, and she was determined to make money in her heart. She had to make good money to buy all the mung bean cakes from the supply and marketing cooperative, and eat as much as she wanted.
