After I finished drinking, he busied himself making sweet potato porridge for me. It was called sweet potato porridge, but in fact it only had a few grains of rice in it, but it tasted especially sweet in my mouth.
After all, I hadn't eaten for two meals at that time, and the sudden feeling of fullness made me want to eat more.
"No, no, you can't eat anymore. My mom said you're very hungry and can't eat too much at once. Just eat a little bit to fill your stomach."
I want to say that I am not afraid. I just want to have a full meal now. I may not have anything to eat when I go home at noon.
But this is in someone else's home, so I can only say this in my heart.
This boy was really talkative. When I said I wanted to go home, he pushed me onto the bed and said, "No, no, wait for my mother to come back. She's gone to collect grass for your pigs. She said you got beaten at home. If you don't collect enough grass for the pigs, you'll get beaten again. She's gone to beat you. Just take a rest."
What? His mother went to collect pig grass for me? Doesn't she have to work? How can she have time to help me collect pig grass?
I was speechless for a moment, and nervously grabbed the quilt with my hands, not knowing what to say.
His mother came back very quickly. I didn't have to wait long. Not only did she come back, she also brought back a basket full of pig feed.
Seeing that I was awake, she said with some disgust, "You little girl, you kicked me, why don't you apologize to me when you see me?"
"I, I, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry aunt, I didn't know I kicked you, I'm so sorry."
I quickly stammered and apologized, and I didn't know what to say except "I'm sorry."
She waved at me and said, "Alright, alright, you are such a miserable kid, go and hand in your task. I have done it for you. Remember your aunt's kindness in the future. Do you hear me?"
I nodded seriously, although I didn't know what good it would do her to remember her kindness, from that moment on I was convinced in my heart that this aunt was a very good person.
I also began to like her talkative son very much.
That day, Aunt Lanhua took me to complete the task of collecting grass for pigs. Mainly because she was afraid that I would get tired, she didn't let me carry the basket.
And sent me back home.
My mother happened to come back, and I was a little nervous. I was afraid that my aunt would say something and my mother would beat me again.
I looked at my aunt with fear in my eyes.
I don't know if she understood what I meant. She patted me on the back and said, "Sister-in-law, why is your kid like a little chicken? When she went to pick grass for pigs today, she tripped over a grass root and fell directly on me. The sickle almost stabbed me. This is not a good way to fall. Don't you usually not give your little girl a meal?"
My mother glared at me, pulled me from my aunt, and pushed me in again.
Afterwards, I heard her say to my aunt: "Aunt, our girl can eat two bowls of rice in one meal. How can she be like a little chicken? My girl is very strong. Your He Hui may not be able to beat her."
"What are you talking about? Our He Hui wants to study, become a scholar, and become a senior worker. Where does he get the strength to compete with others in a fight? Our He Hui is not used to doing so much work."
I felt my mother was very angry that day. She looked at me as if she wanted to eat me, but she didn't hit me.
It's quite strange.
But I just knew that what my aunt said worked. From that day on, in addition to my father, the person I admired in my heart was my aunt.
I found that my aunt was different from other women. When others were working, she was thinking of ways to be lazy. She would even steal sweet potatoes and taro from her own private plot to eat.
He was not panicked even when I bumped into him a few times, and even asked me if I wanted to eat with him.
I felt that she was very real and I wanted to be someone like her. I began to learn her character and when my mother beat me, I also learned to run.
Because when I saw my aunt's mother-in-law beat her, she ran so fast that her mother-in-law couldn't catch up with her.
My aunt’s son is called He Hui. I had a good impression of him at first, but later, he was instigated by the children in the village to bully me. I was so angry that I beat him up.
After beating her, I felt a little regretful. I was afraid that my aunt would ignore me. What should I do?
Who would have thought that the aunt would actually laugh at He Hui and say that he couldn't even beat a girl, so he might as well be a girl's younger brother.
As a result, He Hui really started following me around.
Aunt is so awesome!
At that time, the fights between me and my mother became less and less frequent, but sometimes I couldn't escape and was caught by her, and she would beat me particularly severely.
But no matter how hard he hits me, he can't hurt me. After all, I'm starting to learn from my aunt. I don't care what anyone says or does to me.
My aunt actually doesn't have a good reputation in the village. She and my uncle are both known for being sneaky and deceitful in the eyes of other people in the village, but the couple has never cared about it.
Isn't it just fame? What can it compare to?
In addition to the change in my feelings towards my mother, as I got older, my feelings towards my father also changed. I feel that my father doesn't care about me at all, so I don't want to regard him as someone I admire anymore.
From now on, the only person I admire in my heart is my aunt.
Actually, I do have little sisters in the village. The girl who plays best with me is He Hui’s cousin, but it seems that the relationship between cousins is not very good.
Even though He Hui and Xiao Li have a good relationship, they always quarrel when they meet, as if they have a grudge against each other.
Later, I don't know what my dad got into, but when he heard that He Hui and Xiao Li were studying, he wanted to squeeze me in. I had already heard He Hui talk about their studies.
I also know that He Hui was not serious about studying at first, but he got better and better at it later, and I began to develop a yearning for studying.
Just when I began to yearn for it, my father suddenly said he wanted to send me to school.
He even had a serious talk with me.
My father said, "Girl, girls will get married in the future. Your family can't take care of you forever. It will be good for you to read more books. How you live in the future depends on yourself."
This is the first time my dad cares about me so much.
What I thought at that time was, if he had cared about me so much earlier, he would still be the person I admired most in my heart.
But I have changed the object of my admiration. Since he allows me to study, I don’t mind liking him a little more, but the admiration will never come back.
From that day on, I no longer had to go to work. I just went to school after finishing my housework every day. I really liked Mr. Ruan who taught us.
