Chapter 14: Guaguaguaguaguagua secretly ate feces last night, and this morning...
Not to mention how Yang Xiaohong couldn't wait to find He Yuezhi to discuss helping Xiang Yao, on the other side, Xiang Yao had already walked out of Xiangjiawan along the winding road with a bamboo basket on his shoulder.
The midday sun was scorching hot, making the entire earth glow white. Xiang Yao lowered his straw hat and tried not to look at the fields on both sides of the road.
Especially those fields where the rice has been harvested, irrigated and ready for transplanting, are like snow-white mirrors, reflecting the sunlight very dazzlingly.
After leaving the sixth team where Xiangjiawan is located, you have to pass through the previous teams one after another before you can reach the Shiniu Brigade.
Although the road was mountainous, it was not dangerous for country kids in broad daylight.
It's just hot.
Very hot.
Xiang Yao walked to the back, not caring about the sun above his head. He took off his straw hat and fanned himself. The hair on his forehead was wet and stuck to his skin, which was very uncomfortable.
After all this trouble, she couldn't help but feel like backing out.
But when I looked back, I saw that the winding road had no end in sight. Then I realized that I had walked a long way.
At this point, I guess the way we came here is not much different from the way we went to Shiniu Brigade.
Well, what else can we do? Let’s go!
Cheering himself up, Xiang Yao put his hat on his head, covering his head tightly. Then he encouraged himself and continued moving forward.
The sun was right overhead, casting short and squat shadows on people. She found it amusing and stretched out her hands to make the same poses she had loved to do when she was a child. She amused herself for a while and felt happy again.
When they finally arrived at the Shiniu Brigade, Xiang Yao adjusted the position of the bamboo basket on his shoulders, and following the memory of his original body, he finally made a concerted effort and headed towards the Liu family.
The Liu family was a marginal household in the team. After Xiang Yao arrived at their team, he didn't see many people there.
All in vain.
The gate of the Liu family's courtyard was ajar. Xiang Yao called out twice outside but no one answered, so he had to push the gate open and go inside. However, he found that the door of the house inside was also locked.
Xiang Yao didn't want to move at all. After all, this was his maternal grandparents' house, so he didn't care about it too much.
He immediately went to the well to fetch water so that he could wash his face and refresh himself.
The Liu family's conditions should be better than the Xiang family's. They installed a shaking well. They only need to pour a bowl of water into the big belly of the shaking well and then quickly shake the handle up and down to draw up the well water.
This is much more convenient.
He took off his straw hat, washed his face and hands with the cool well water, then scooped up a handful of water, leaned over and took a sip.
Xiang Yao only felt the slight coolness spreading from his mouth all the way down, and he felt a lot more refreshed.
After sitting by the well and resting for a while, Xiang Yao ate a handful of peanuts. He thought that the Liu family members had probably gone to work, and no one would come back until it was time to cook.
She stood up and decided to go find her mother first.
If I keep waiting like this foolishly, I'll have to walk at night.
After leaving the yard, Xiang Yao didn't know where the Liu family was working, so he had to find someone to ask.
"Auntie, may I ask where Liu Qiaoyun is now?" Xiang Yao curved his eyes and put on a polite smile.
She is gentle and kind, and looks like a well-behaved girl at first glance.
Unexpectedly, this time, Xiang Yao's sweet smile didn't work.
The aunt was bending over to thresh the rice. When she heard the question, she frowned and looked the strange girl in front of her from head to toe, her eyes as sharp as a scraper.
"Who are you? What do you want from that guy?" His tone was very rude, as if Xiang Yao was some unlucky person.
Xiang Yao was not a softie. Seeing her aunt's expression and seeing her aunt calling her mother "that person", she felt a little unhappy and stopped asking her immediately.
"It's okay." He said lightly, turned around and left.
Humph, if you don't like her, will she still continue to ask with a shameless face?
In her impression, Liu Qiaoyun has always been gentle and kind. She just doesn't believe that there is no one in her family who has a good relationship with Liu Qiaoyun.
Before they had taken a few steps, the road took a turn and someone nearby seemed to recognize Xiang Yao. After a moment's hesitation, they asked uncertainly, "Are you Qiao Yun's daughter? Coming from Xiangjiawan?"
Xiang Yao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman who looked about the same age as Liu Qiaoyun.
The woman was quite tall, but thin. She was so thin that her bones were prominent, making the bones in her wrists stand out. Her cheekbones were also high, making her look a bit powerful.
But Xiang Yao heard the friendliness in the man's words, and she smiled again: "Auntie, you have a good eye. Yes, I am Xiang Yao, and I came from Xiangjiawan."
The woman laughed when she heard the word "Auntie". Her face became a little fatter and she looked a little kinder. "I was just saying I had some impression of you. You were here a few years ago!"
While she was cutting the rice, she pointed in a certain direction with her sickle and said, "Here, follow this ridge. Qiao Yun is planting rice over there!"
Xiang Yao smiled sweetly: "Yeah, thank you, auntie, you are such a good person!"
As soon as she said this, the face of the person who was rude at first quickly fell, and the look he gave Yao became more and more unfriendly.
What? It means she is not a good person!
"Tsk, the older one is shameless, how can the younger one be any better! What a bunch of unlucky things!"
The sarcastic voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough to reach the ears of a few people nearby.
Xiang Yao suddenly turned his head, staring at the man with his dark eyes: "Aunt, are you talking about me and my mother?"
The man snorted coldly: "I didn't say it was you. If you insist on thinking so, it has nothing to do with me."
Xiang Yao smiled, then raised his hand and fanned his nose vigorously, the sound was loud and clear -
"Oh, it stinks, so stinky! Whose mouth stinks so bad? Did you secretly eat feces last night and didn't brush your teeth this morning? Oh, auntie, you still need to pay attention to your personal hygiene!"
The people around were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter, especially those who recognized Xiang Yao's aunt, and laughed so hard that their shoulders shrugged.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"This girl is really clever with her words, hahahahahahaha, I guess Third Yuan's family is in for a real loss this time!"
"Wow, this girl's tongue is way better than her mother's!"
…
Seeing that everyone was laughing at her, Yuan Laosan's wife gritted her teeth in anger. Just as she was about to speak, Xiang Yao gave her a look of disgust: "Stop talking! Shut up!"
Taking advantage of the fact that Yuan Laosan's wife was briefly stunned, she not only fanned away the "smell" with her hands, but also took off her straw hat and fanned even more vigorously.
"Please stop talking, it stinks so badly, it's unbearable, ouch, it's making me cry!"
Everyone laughed even more happily.
The stench is so strong that it can bring tears to my eyes. How stinky is that? This girl is so mean!
However, they had no sympathy for Yuan Laosan's wife. Her mouth was indeed foul and annoying, and few people in the team liked her.
Xiang Yao didn't care about anything else. Seeing that no one else spoke up for Yuan Laosan's wife, he knew that the person was unpopular, so he just fought back and didn't care anymore.
She walked forward a few steps, crossed a small canal, and took a handful of peanuts from the basket.
"Here, Auntie! Take it back and eat it!"
The aunt uttered a "wow" and replied embarrassedly: "You little kid, how can I ask you for such a good thing for such a small matter? Take it back quickly and give it to your mother later!"
Xiang Yao didn't want to go back and forth with Yang Xiaohong like he had done before, so he immediately stuffed the peanuts into her trouser pocket and said, "I brought them to my mother. Don't be polite, auntie. I'm leaving now!"
After stuffing it in, she quickly turned around and left, fearing that the aunt would chase her and pull her again.
"Oh, this child! How polite!" The aunt's voice floated behind, full of joy.
"So many peanuts! They are rare here! Wanzi Niang, you are so lucky~" someone said, full of envy.
Some people gloated: "Tsk tsk, if Yuan Lao San's family had spoken to the girl nicely just now, maybe this good thing would have been hers~"
Someone else laughed: "Oh, tell me, why didn't I react? If I had this peanut, the men at home would have something to eat with their meals today."
Everyone present burst into laughter, without caring about Yuan Laosan's wife's face at all.
Xiang Yao listened, curled his lips silently and laughed too.
After all, there are more simple people.
After walking along the ridge and passing a large field, I finally saw a figure in the distance who was bending over to plant crops.
The man was wearing a straw hat with its brim hanging loosely. He was wearing a green suit with several patches on it, with his trouser legs rolled up high. He was thin and small.
Xiang Yao recognized her at a glance. It was Liu Qiaoyun.
Strangely enough, when she came here, Liu Qiaoyun had already left the Xiang family. In fact, the two of them had never spent a single day together.
Xiang Yao originally thought that he looked at Liu Qiaoyun in the same way as he looked at other people, with only memories and no extra emotions.
But at the moment she saw the other person's back, the bond and emotion buried deep in her bones suddenly burst out violently, quickly permeating her flesh and blood, making her eyes wet.
She walked over, but before she could say anything, the person in the middle of the paddy field seemed to sense something and turned to look at her.
"Yaoyao?!" Liu Qiaoyun was stunned at first, then her eyes widened and she shouted in surprise and joy.
Everyone in their area was busy planting rice seedlings, and few noticed Xiang Yao's arrival. When they heard Liu Qiaoyun's call, they all raised their heads and looked towards the person on the ridge of the field.
Xiang Yao didn't notice this. Her eyes were now firmly fixed on Liu Qiaoyun, feeling the surging power of family affection.
She had never felt any maternal love, and this feeling at the moment was both strange and familiar, making her feel a little guilty.
She is an outsider. Her original body is dead, and she, the outsider, has occupied the original body.
Feeling somewhat guilty.
It's not comfortable.
