"Xiaozhen, can you please be reasonable? He Jiefang is my fiancé, how could I let you?" Qian Meili's voice was full of powerlessness, and even a little angry because she couldn't communicate with Chen Xiaozhen.
"Why not? You're not married anyway. It's just that you couldn't bear to let go. You chose a man over your friend," Chen Xiaozhen said sharply. "Put away your lecturing face. Even if you don't say it, you're probably laughing at me in your heart. I'm telling you, stay out of my business."
With two "bangs", the room fell into complete darkness. Listening to the rustling sound on one side, Du Jiang even softened his breathing.
"I know you haven't slept, Du Jiang. You'd better forget what you heard today. Otherwise, if any bad words are heard in the village, I will find you and Qian Meili." Then there was the sound of turning over. Du Jiang was speechless. He pulled the quilt and ignored this suddenly crazy man.
When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn and the roosters in the yard were crowing non-stop.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck~"
The loud voice got the neighbors moving. Listening to the clattering footsteps, Du Jiang squatted beside the vegetable patch and brushed his teeth.
Du Jiang brushed his teeth left, right, up, and down very seriously for the sake of his own dental health. When he heard footsteps behind him, he moved to the side to make room for the person coming.
Qian Meili, with two huge dark circles under her eyes, looked at Du Jiang, who was full of energy and foaming at the mouth, and envied him very much, "That's really a big heart."
Du Jiang grinned and continued brushing. He only started washing his face after spitting out all the foam with clean water.
The cold water hitting the face instantly makes people feel refreshed, and the same is true for Du Jiang.
"Are you having breakfast here today?"
Facing Qian Meili's question, Du Jiang shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to the mountain to cut grass for the pigs, so I won't eat it."
"Okay, I won't cook for you. Be careful when you go up the mountain. I heard someone was bitten by a snake a few days ago."
"Don't worry, I'll be at the foot of the mountain and won't go inside. Sister Qian, I'm leaving." After saying goodbye to Qian Meili, Du Jiang took her things and headed up the mountain. She thought she was the first one to arrive, but who knew there were people on the mountain who were earlier than her.
Seeing Daya carrying a bamboo basket that was bigger than herself, Du Jiang raised his hand and said hello, "It's so early, Daya, you haven't eaten yet."
Seeing Du Jiang, Daya smiled happily, "Sister Du Jiang, come here quickly. I just found a wild grape plant. Let's have a bunch each." As she said that, Daya took out a bunch of wild grapes from the bamboo basket. The fruits on it were relatively small, but the appearance of the purple-red fruits connected together was also very pleasing.
Seeing Daya obviously swallowing her saliva as soon as she took it out, Du Jiang immediately rejected the other party's invitation, "No, Daya, eat it yourself, your grandma didn't give you any food."
Daya just laughed but didn't say anything. Seeing this, Du Jiang didn't expect the girl to say anything. He just reached out and pushed back Daya's hand, picked one from it and stuffed it into Daya's mouth, "Eat it quickly, and go home after dinner."
Daya nodded and followed Du Jiang obediently towards the pig grass.
When they got to the place, she sat down beside the wild grapes and ate them obediently, watching Du Jiang cutting grass for pigs. Maybe she was very hungry, so she ate the two bunches of grapes very quickly, but she also ate them very cleanly. After all, if her hands were stained with color and her grandmother saw it when she got back, she would be scolded at the very least and beaten at the worst. Although she was used to it, she thought it was better to avoid being beaten if possible.
After Du Jiang finished cutting the pig grass, he looked back at Daya, who was sitting obediently in the open space to rest, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to dig wild vegetables today?"
"I'm digging, but my grandma said I can't go back too early today, so I can go back in the afternoon. She won't say anything about how much I dig today." Daya's dark little face was filled with adult-like melancholy. Du Jiang was very curious and followed her example, sitting cross-legged beside her. He asked, "Why? I remember your grandma asked you to dig two big baskets of wild vegetables every day, didn't she?"
"Today is my uncle's engagement day, and my grandma is in a good mood." You know, ever since my father passed away, my uncle has been my grandma's favorite. Although he is still a child of seven or eight years old, the children in the village are sensible at an early age. The worries that Mrs. Du used to have on her lips are no longer a problem from today. When Mrs. Du is in a good mood, her own life will also be better. So Daya is also in a very happy mood at this time. "Sister Du Jiang, the bride is from your educated youth site, that educated youth Chen. Although she is not as good as you, my uncle likes her. My grandma said that she will be my little aunt in the future. She said that my little aunt has a thin waist and a round butt and is easy to give birth to. She will definitely give birth to a younger brother for me in the future."
Uh, listening to this half-grown child spewing adult words, Du Jiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but also felt a little bitter, "Okay, Daya, don't say this anymore. If someone hears and tells your grandma, you'll probably get beaten again."
"I know, Sister Du Jiang, I told you too," Daya stretched out her crossed legs and looked into the depths of the jungle with some melancholy. "Sister Du Jiang, after my uncle gets married in a few days, I will go to my mother's place. My grandma said my mother missed me and wanted to take me over for a while."
"Your mother", this was the first time Du Jiang heard Daya mention her remarried mother, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Yes, that's my mother. My mother accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by my father. Later, after my father passed away, my mother quickly remarried. My grandmother said that my mother was heartless, but if it were me, I would also remarry. Staying in our house would be starving and suffer from food and clothing." Thinking of her biological mother Daya, the melancholy became even stronger. "Actually, my name was not Daya before. My mother called me baby. Unfortunately, I became Daya after my father passed away." Perhaps thinking of the happy days in the past, the little girl's face was full of longing. "Sister Du Jiang, you said that if my mother took me away, would I have a good life in the future and never have to go hungry again?"
Facing Daya's big dark eyes, Du Jiang nodded subconsciously, "Of course it is."
"Of course, I'm my mother's biological daughter. When she remarried, she insisted on taking me with her. It was my grandmother who threatened to commit suicide to keep me. That was because my grandmother liked me. Who knew that my grandmother didn't like me at all? Ever since then, she has always called me a cheap skin."
Du Jiang frowned slightly, "If your grandma doesn't like you, why would she keep you?"
"I don't know about that. It was quite ugly at that time. I even put my milk knife on her neck." In fact, this is also what Daya is puzzled about. According to her competitive look at that time, she was really a treasure. Who knew that as soon as her mother left, she fell from a treasure to a money-losing and cheap commodity. From then on, lack of food and clothing became commonplace.
Seeing the little girl's melancholy look, Du Jiang touched her head and said, "Don't think about it. Since your mother wants to take you away, then just follow her. After all, she is your biological mother. No matter how bad the life is, she can't be taken away."
"That's right. Anyway, I'm already bad enough now, and there's nothing to worry about. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to see Sister Du Jiang again in the future. But it doesn't matter. When I can write, I will write to you."
"good"
The big and the small made a pinky promise and stamped it, making an agreement that would last for many years.
