"sister....."
Zhao Jiaojiao coughed lightly. "Maybe I've been in the water for too long and have forgotten a lot of things. Can you tell me?"
Forget a lot of things?
Although Tudan is in his teens, he looks like a ten-year-old child because he is still growing and doesn't have enough to eat.
"Sister, I will tell you what you want to know."
The two started questioning.
"How old am I?"
"Sister, you are sixteen."
Sixteen years old?
Zhao Jiaojiao gasped. Did she really make a profit now? She suddenly looked ten years younger?
But in this age of food shortage, Zhao Jiaojiao wanted to cry. She was most afraid of being hungry. Her mother once said that she was the reincarnation of a starving ghost. She could forget everything but could not forget to eat.
Is this disaster her destiny?
Eat enough in the first half of your life, and then go hungry in the second half?
"How old are you?"
Tudan immediately said, "Sister, I'm thirteen years old."
"Where's my little sister?"
"My little sister is ten years old. She went to pick wild vegetables."
Zhao Jiaojiao wanted to know something very important, "Have you studied?"
I don't want to be illiterate.
"My little sister and I are studying, and you are not studying, sister."
What, the original owner didn’t study anymore?
"How are my grades?"
Tudan fell silent for a moment, looked at Zhao Jiaojiao timidly, and said embarrassedly, "Sister, you didn't get into the junior high school in town." After saying that, he glanced at his sister secretly, afraid that she would be angry.
Zhao Jiaojiao forced a smile, "Where are grandpa and grandma?"
Tudan immediately said, "Grandma came to see you last night, but grandpa and grandma followed auntie..."
Zhao Jiaojiao learned a lot from Tudan, such as the relatives on the original owner's father's side and the relatives on the original owner's mother's side.
Now she has to live on in place of the original owner.
"Go pick some vegetables and come back. I'll lie down for a while and get up to cook later."
Although Zhao Jiaojiao is a foodie, she can also cook.
Tudan wanted to refuse and ask her sister not to cook, but in the end she swallowed it and said, "Okay."
Zhao Jiaojiao got up, put on her patched cloth shoes, and walked out of the room. What caught her eye was the desolate scene in the yard. Some vegetables were planted in a corner of the yard, as well as two fruit trees, a bayberry tree full of fruits, and an orange tree with small green fruits hanging on it. Some firewood was piled in the corner of the wall.
She looked up at the sky and was mesmerized by the azure sky.
How many years has it been since I saw such a blue sky?
Can we see shooting stars at night?
"Sister, what are you looking at?" A tender and soft voice sounded beside Zhao Jiaojiao's ear. The sudden voice scared Zhao Jiaojiao so much that she jumped. When she saw the little girl, who was only about 1.3 meters tall, with patches all over her face, dry and yellow hair, and a little face that was tanned a little, she was very thin but looked in good spirits.
"Look at the sky." Zhao Jiaojiao was very sure that this was the youngest sister in the family, Zhao Lingling.
"It's getting late, it's time to cook, help me light the fire."
Zhao Lingling didn't object. She continued, carrying the basket, "Sister, I picked a lot of wild vegetables. They're very tender. I also saw a pheasant today, but it ran away too fast. Otherwise, I could have caught it and brought it back to you to nourish your body."
Zhao Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed. Why did she feel like she was being taken care of?
It must be an illusion.
Zhao Lingling skillfully washed the vegetables, lit the fire, and instructed Zhao Jiaojiao on how to cook dinner. "Sister, you don't usually cook."
Little sister, can you please stop mentioning this?
