She is not a genius. There may be self-taught geniuses, but she is definitely not one of them.
She had finally gotten her parents to agree to let her follow her aunt to Jiangcheng. She had worked in the countryside and cut grass, so she knew how tiring farm work was, so she was even more eager to change herself through learning.
She wanted to stay here and learn more knowledge instead of going back to her hometown to hang out with a group of friends.
The weather is clear and cloudless.
The area around the train station is still bustling with people coming and going.
An Changyue kept stretching his head to look inside. He and An Hongdou had been standing here waiting for a long time.
Ergouzi called his hometown and asked Zhao Xiaoyue to come over by herself, then he followed the driver in the sports car.
The destination we are going to is a city near Jiangcheng. If nothing goes wrong, it will take three days to come back, which means we can get home tonight.
Therefore, the task of picking up Zhao Xiaoyue at noon had to be done by the two of them. As for Shen Xiangzhi, he had been very close to Mu Yuntian recently, and no one knew what he was doing.
The sound of the train stopping was heard, and a large group of people poured out. An Changyue's eyes were very sharp. She found Zhao Xiaoyue among the crowd and called An Hongdou in a hurry, "Aunt, aunt, here I am, Auntie is here."
Before An Hongdou and Zhao Youliang broke off their engagement, An Changyue called Zhao Xiaoyue "Auntie" because at that time, she was An Hongdou's future sister-in-law.
But now, Zhao Xiaoyue has married Ergouzi and is the daughter-in-law of the An family. So her address has to start from Ergouzi's side and become aunt.
An Hongdou looked in the direction she pointed and saw that Zhao Xiaoyue, who was wearing a baggy sweatshirt and trousers, looked even thinner, with messy hair and a dark spot on her face. She looked like a refugee who had fled from somewhere.
An Changyue had already shouted loudly: "Aunt Xiaoyue, here, we are here..."
Zhao Xiaoyue seemed to hear someone calling her, so she quickly stopped and looked carefully ahead.
She communicated with us via letter before she came and agreed that someone would pick her up when she arrived.
However, it was Zhao Xiaoyue's first time to leave Qingshan Town and also her first time to take a train. She was very nervous. After getting off the train, there were people everywhere. She was even more afraid that she would not be able to find anyone or a place to go and get lost.
When she saw An Changyue waving at her in front, and An Hongdou beside her, her frightened heart instantly calmed down, and she ran towards them carrying her luggage.
"Hongdou, Changyue, you guys have been waiting for a long time, right?" Zhao Xiaoyue smiled shyly. She was obviously a married woman, but her temperament was more like a child who was ignorant of the world.
"Not long."
An Hongdou walked over and tried to take the big bag she was carrying, but she dodged him and said, "It's not that heavy, I'll carry it myself. You must be tired after waiting for me for so long."
Zhao Xiaoyue really wasn't worried about her things. She also knew that she came here to seek refuge with someone else. She was already a little insecure, and didn't want to cause trouble for others. She was also afraid of annoying An Hongdou.
An Hongdou noticed her reservedness and directly picked up her bag and took it over with a light lift. "It's okay, I'll help you carry it. You must be uncomfortable after sitting on the train for such a long time. By the way, how did you become like this?"
This messy outfit really doesn't look good.
"It was Ergou who told me to come here like this. He said the train was very messy and I, a woman, was unsafe, so he told me to dress up a little uglier, a little more tattered." Zhao Xiaoyue smiled shyly, "I put some soot on my face, it will come off after I wash it when I get home."
She was a little afraid that others would think she was dirty. It was indeed the case in the past. However, at that time, she had no desire to live, and had been abused for a long time, so she often made herself dirty and even her face could not be seen.
But after she decided to change herself, she took a shower almost every few days, and she hasn't been that dirty for a long time.
Zhao Xiaoyue also praised Er Gouzi, "Uncle Er Gou is really smart. You are dressed like this, and it is impossible for you to have money. Even if there is a thief, it is impossible for him to target the poor."
An Hongdou walked in front and smiled.
The little girl is still young and very naive.
Little do people know that having money stolen is a small matter. The most terrifying thing is having people stolen.
An Hongdou suddenly thought that when she found the right opportunity, she should spread more knowledge in this area to An Changyue.
The little girl was very pretty and innocent at her teens, which made her very easy to be deceived.
Take the last time she was beaten for example. If she hadn’t been so gullible, she wouldn’t have been tricked into the woods behind the school.
They came by bus, and naturally returned by the same route when they left.
Shen Xiangzhi was waiting for them at the place where they got off the bus, pushing his bicycle. As soon as An Hongdou got off the bus, she saw him and walked over to him. "Are you done with your work?"
Shen Xiangzhi nodded and patted the back seat of the bicycle with one hand, “Put the things on the bike, I’ll push it.”
An Hongdou lifted the clip at the back and put the luggage on it. She turned around and took the other bag from Zhao Xiaoyue's hand, adjusted it and hung it on the big bar in front.
"Let's go, let's go home." An Hongdou smiled and walked beside Shen Xiangzhi.
An Changyue and Zhao Xiaoyue walked behind them and looked at them in front of them. The man was tall and straight, and the woman had a nimble figure. They looked like a perfect match.
The three babies in the family were all taking a nap. Aunt Wang had prepared the meals and was waiting for them to come home and eat.
A new bed had just been moved into the upstairs room, so An Changyue would be living upstairs temporarily, while the downstairs room would be used by Ergouzi and his wife for a few days.
An Hongdou is already looking for a house outside, but it is not an easy thing to do and there is no rush.
After dinner, Zhao Xiaoyue returned to her room, lay on the soft big bed, and suddenly felt like crying with happiness.
She had always thought that maybe one day she would be free, but the luckiest thing that could happen to her was that she would be sold by Ma Cuilian or Zhao Youliang to an old bachelor or a mentally ill man who could afford the bride price.
She didn't even dare to imagine that she would have such a life.
No longer suffering from hunger and cold, they can eat fragrant rice and fine white flour.
Sometimes, thinking about it feels like a dream.
And all of this is thanks to An Hongdou. It was her help that changed me. She also has to thank Ergouzi. It was because of his willingness to accept her that she has the happiness she has now.
She also needs to work harder, strive to make herself a better person, and repay those who help her.
Ergouzi came back in the middle of the night. Zhao Xiaoyue opened the door for him, and no one else knew about it.
When Aunt Wang came over in the morning, she found Zhao Xiaoyue holding a basin of water and wiping the railings on the stairs. She wiped them until they were shiny, and the living room downstairs was also spotless.
