The legitimate daughter of the marquis, Lin Ran, who had just experienced the loss of her mother and the only relative in her maternal family, was plotted against by her father and stepmother, but ...
Just as Lin Ran was about to go into the house to read, a weak voice came from the gate of the yard.
"Sister Ranran, can I borrow a basket from your family? My basket is broken and hasn't been repaired yet."
Lin Ran turned her head and saw a short-haired girl standing at the gate of the yard with a basket on her shoulder, blinking her big watery eyes and looking at her timidly.
The hair is so short that it looks like a boy's. You can tell at a glance that it was cut completely when the hair was sold.
The key point is that this girl not only has a sallow complexion and dry hair, but is also short, only reaching his shoulders. This is obviously caused by long-term hunger. Even the gray clothes on her body are a little too small and have several patches.
Lin Ran recognized the girl at a glance as the third daughter of Accountant Zheng next door, named Zheng Sanya, who was fourteen years old.
Just by hearing the name, you can tell how unwelcome this girl is in the Zheng family.
Lin Ran had been studying in school before, and she could never play with a girl like Zheng Sanya who didn't go to school and worked hard every day, so they were not very familiar with each other.
Hearing that she wanted to borrow a basket, Lin Ran handed over the basket in the yard without saying a word. However, when his eyes swept over the basket in her hand, he couldn't help but ask a question.
"Are you going to cut two baskets of pig grass?"
As I recall, Zheng Sanya started earning work points when she was very young. Because she was young, she was assigned to cut grass for pigs.
Zheng Sanya quickly shook her head.
"No, Sister Ranran, I only need to cut a basket of pig grass this morning. I borrowed the basket so I can go dig wild vegetables. It rained a while ago, so there should be a lot of wild vegetables growing at the foot of the mountain. If I'm lucky, I might even pick some mushrooms."
Having said that, Zheng Sanya swallowed her saliva, obviously craving the wild vegetables and mushrooms she had just mentioned.
Lin Ran had never heard of wild vegetables and mushrooms in her previous life. The original owner had eaten them in her memory, but she didn't know what they tasted like. They looked a bit like bamboo fungus and matsutake, so she couldn't help but feel curious.
"Are wild vegetables and mushrooms delicious?"
Zheng Sanya nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious, especially delicious!"
As if she was afraid that Lin Ran wouldn't believe her, she added, "Especially mushrooms, they are the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life!"
Lin Ran found it a little funny. This little girl was quite naive. Wasn't she afraid that he would snatch the food from her?
The next second, he heard Zheng Sanya's invitation as soft as a mosquito.
"Sister Ranran, do you want to go with me?"
Lin Ran saw that her big, moist eyes were full of anticipation, but her hands were tightly clenching the corners of her clothes, and she was obviously nervous.
Lin Ran thought about it and decided that it would be nice to dig some wild vegetables and mushrooms to bring back as a snack for her parents.
She could also take this opportunity to smuggle some meat out to feed her parents.
You have to know that the best thing she had eaten in all these days since she came here was the steamed egg custard on the day she first arrived. As for meat, there was not even a shadow of it.
She herself doesn't care because she often cooks in her space at night.
I asked the Shen Family Restaurant to prepare hundreds of tables of cooked food, which is enough for me to eat for a long time.
But my parents are so tired from working every day and their nutrition is not enough. If this continues for a long time, their health will collapse.
It seems that she needs to think of a way to improve the food at home.
We’ll talk about this later, and Lin Ran agreed immediately.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll get ready."
After saying that, Lin Ran went to find a basket and locked the door.
Zheng Sanya obviously didn't expect that Lin Ran would really be willing to be with her, and her face turned red with excitement.
You have to know that Lin Ran is like a fairy in her heart and is the person she envies the most.
Not only is she beautiful, loved by her parents, and well-educated, but most importantly, she doesn't bully me like other people do, and she is very gentle when talking to me.
In short, Lin Ran is a very good person in her heart!
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been willing to play with her, but now her favorite fairy is willing to play with her, how can she not be excited!
Along the way, Zheng Sanya walked in a rare skipping and bouncing manner.
But when he saw Lin Ran's walking posture, his eyes were filled with amazement again. Why did Sister Ranran even walk like a fairy?
Looking at herself again, Zheng Sanya slowed down her pace shyly.
Lin Ran didn't notice Zheng Sanya's little actions.
She was walking and taking in her surroundings.
No wonder their brigade is called Tashan Brigade, because there is a mountain behind the village, and it is named Tashan because it looks like a tower when viewed from the front.
Almost all the fields in the brigade are located in front of the village, but there are still two or three pieces of land scattered behind the village.
It is now the rice planting season in May. When Lin Ran passed by the fields from a distance, he could see several people bending over to plant rice seedlings.
However, Lin Ran was not interested in farming, so he just glanced at it casually and walked quickly towards the foot of the mountain with Zheng Sanya.
But what she didn't know was that several people over there were quite interested in her.
One of the female comrades caught a glimpse of Lin Ran's hurriedly leaving back while picking up the seedlings, and immediately shouted.
"Look, isn't that the captain's daughter?"
This sentence successfully made everyone present stop what they were doing and look in the direction of the person's finger.
Immediately, someone started to act weird.
"Who else could it be but her? We've been in the countryside for so long, and besides her, who else in the entire team has been resting at home all day? Everyone's at work at this hour, so she's the only one who has the time to wander around here!"
"What can we do? She's the daughter of the team leader. She can choose not to work if she wants. She's not as miserable as us educated youth."
Some people can't stand it and just follow suit, but some people don't care.
