Sun Daniu's forehead was already bandaged, the snow-white gauze particularly eye-catching. The thin young man, as thin as a bamboo pole, leaned against the doorpost with his body hunched over. Sun Erniu leaned against the side of the alley, also close to him. Occasionally, two people would pass by on the road, look at him in surprise, and turn their heads to whisper among themselves.
The two brothers acted as if they hadn't heard anything, and just squatted there silently.
"Brother, we...we won't see her again, will we?"
Sun Daniu's voice was still hoarse.
"No, from now on we'll behave ourselves, stay home, and not come to the county town again."
"If it weren't for the oxcart coming to pick up the new educated youth today, we wouldn't have come."
"Brother, they haven't bought everything they needed yet. With all this trouble, isn't the oxcart almost due? Should we wait?"
"Mom, it's that older brother who was bullied!"
Although not much was said during the meal, the atmosphere was noticeably more relaxed.
After dinner, Jian Dan wanted to go back to the factory, and the children couldn't stay still and all wanted to follow her. As a result, as soon as they went out, they saw two figures squatting at the gate.
"Mom, it's that older brother!"
Erniu quickly pulled his brother to his feet, still a little embarrassed.
"Sister Jane,"
"Sister Jane, thank you so much for today. Otherwise, she might have taken all our money and belongings."
Simple didn't expose anything, and just asked the same question that had been asked before.
"Would you like to come with me?"
Seeing them standing there dumbfounded, Jian Dan didn't urge them.
“I only just learned about what happened in the village these days. Your choice of Liujiatun is also related to me. Although this situation and change are somewhat unexpected, whether it is me, the uncles and elders in the military region, or your father, we all hope that you can live a good life.”
So I want to ask you, are you willing to leave Liujiatun?
"We...we have no skills whatsoever, all we know how to do now is farm,"
"Are you talking about the place Brother Lin and the others went to before?"
After a brief thought,
"It should be, but it's also possible it's in the county seat,"
Upon hearing the word "county town," Erniu shuddered and quietly backed away.
Da Niu frowned. He had just said he wouldn't come to the county town, and this was a slap in the face. He thought about Jian Dan's words again, gritted his teeth, and decided to discuss it with his younger brother first.
"Erniu, let's go with Sister Jian. Even if we're in the county town, we might not run into her. It's better than starving in the village."
Besides, she was punished by the police today, so she won't dare to do it again. You still have your brother to protect you and prevent her from bullying you again, okay?
Erniu lacks his own opinions.
"I want to go with my brother."
"Sister Jane, can we be assigned together?"
Jian Dan sighed slightly. Leaving aside Da Niu, Er Niu was only a little over ten years old; even if they went there, they would still need to go to school. She mentioned the county town because she wanted to see how the two children would weigh this choice; it wasn't that she truly intended to mistreat child laborers.
"If you've made up your minds, go back and pack your things. I'll find someone to coordinate and get you transferred over. Can you hold out for three to five days?"
Three to five days?
That's incredible.
Da Niu nodded excitedly.
"Then we'll pack our things when we get back, and we won't tell anyone, we promise we won't tell anyone."
Alright, no need to explain anymore, the two kids are cautious enough.
"Mom, is my brother leaving?"
"Third Aunt, are you going to transfer them to our side?"
The two brothers left, and the other children followed Jian Dan outside. Jian Dan didn't give them any perfunctory treatment.
"Yes, their father was a great martyr who contributed to the revolutionary cause, but he sacrificed his life."
Their mother later remarried.
Everyone has a scale in their heart, which they use to weigh the people or things they consider important.
Yes, it's possible. In her heart, her ex-husband's children are not as important as herself and her new family, so her two older brothers don't receive much attention from their mother.
A few years ago, my uncle, who is your Cheng family's maternal grandfather (the children all call him by his nickname "little one," while in Northeast China, your mother's uncles are called "grandfather"), and I met once. The two older boys were so hungry they could barely walk. That was the time when my maternal grandfather was very angry, extremely angry.
Back then, we upheld justice for them, and then they signed up to go to the countryside to help build rural areas, just in case something like what happened today happened. That person was their mother, and they couldn't fight back. Wouldn't that be very difficult?
But I never expected that after so long, this mother would be so heartless.
Qin Guan was shocked.
"Third Aunt, are you saying that the injury on his head was inflicted by his mother?"
Yes, yes!
That bad guy, so bad! My brother got hurt and was bleeding!
"Little sister, you saw it too?"
The little one tilted its head back and shook it proudly.
"Yes, yes, I saw it! Aren't I amazing?"
The older brothers started spouting nonsense.
We signed the contract this morning, and now we're just going to deliver it to Lin Dongfang. We figured that since Fengmao is here, they might have something to talk about, so we're avoiding him and not in a hurry. After delivering the things, we simply took the kids to the supply and marketing cooperative for a look around.
I never expected to run into someone I knew.
"Simple?"
Wang Hongmei, Tang Hongying.
There were a few other educated youths who were with us, but I didn't recognize any of them. I could only name these two.
On the first meeting, Jian Dan was actually completely bewildered.
She has face blindness and isn't very familiar with the people in the educated youth compound. Her memories of the past have gradually faded. However, she still remembers Wang Hongmei, who is not much younger than her and can be considered a veteran of the educated youth movement.
