Chapter 396

She remembers things early, remembering that she once lifted the sauerkraut vat with her mother. She was only five years old and had very little strength, but she still held back all her energy to lift the vat. But the jar suddenly slipped, and she couldn't hold back the force she was lifting, and the sauerkraut jar fell to the ground and shattered. Before she could react, she was kicked in the heart by her mother and fell directly on the broken On the cracked tiles...

Because it was the end of autumn and winter was about to begin, she was wearing long sleeves. When she fell, she didn’t bleed, but her palms were pierced with tiles. At that time, she felt dizzy and dizzy with pain in her heart. , can't get up at all.

But the mother just scolded her blindly, saying that she didn't catch the jar and broke it. She was annoyed, and shirked responsibility. She remembered to pick up the sauerkraut that fell on the ground, and scolded her with a distressed face, but she didn't remember to pick it up from the broken tiles. Pull her up.

If the eldest sister hadn't come back to see her, pulled her up, and stopped the bleeding on her palm, she might not even know where she died.

That was the first impression of her mother deep in her memory, and it was also a deep-rooted impression.

Rural children do things early, but remember things late. Some of them can cook and kill pigweed when they are two or three years old, but few can remember things when they are four or five years old. Most of them don't remember things when they were young.

The eldest sister and the second sister are like this. The earliest memories in their deepest memories are also from the previous two years, and the earlier ones are very vague, unclear, and unclear.

And maybe she was so impressed by this incident, she not only remembered this incident, but she also remembered some of the future incidents intermittently.

There are no secrets in the village. All the mothers-in-law in the village know what happened to the family and the details.

Ever since she could remember, she loved to take her younger brother to play in front of those mother-in-laws, listening to them talk about some strange things outside, and listening to them gossip about the neighbors.

The eldest sister and the second sister don't remember many things, but these mother-in-laws do.

The girls in their family are all able to walk and work, not to mention her, even the eldest sister of the first child of the parents is no exception.

And from the mouths of her mother-in-laws, she knew that she could survive thanks to her elder sister and second sister.

Her mother had a sharp belly when she was pregnant with her. Experienced women in the village said that the baby would be a boy, and her parents also had great hopes. Her father even bought some eggs and returned to her mother's body. I hope to make the son in my belly healthy.

Who knew she was born a girl.

The mother-in-laws said that when she was born, her mother looked at her as if she was going to eat her. Fortunately, their family's life was not bad, so they didn't drown.

But her mother didn’t want to nurse her after three days of breastfeeding her, and she often forgot to drink rice soup for her. The mothers-in-law said, when you go to your house, everyone can barely hear your cry when everyone is quiet, that’s because you’re hungry .

It was her eldest sister who fed her rice soup every day, and after the rice soup was gone, she crushed wild vegetable buns and boiled them for her to eat. She grew up little by little.

The mothers-in-laws took the trouble to tell her these things, firstly because they were really sorry and wanted to gossip, and secondly because they wanted her to remember her elder sister well.

Her elder sister is the most popular in the village, she is a kind person, no matter who needs help, she will help as long as she can.

Which of those gossiping mother-in-laws didn't ask her elder sister to fetch water and wash clothes?

She taught her elder sister more than once to not be so nice, so as not to be bullied all the time, but now that she knows a lot, she thinks deeply.

If it weren't for the good-natured temper of the eldest sister who wanted to carry everything on her body, she might not be able to survive.

And suffering a loss is a blessing, if you suffer a small loss, others may not be sympathetic in the future.

She will not learn from her elder sister to become such a good person, but she should not ask her elder sister to restrain her kindness.

Weizhen touched the broken pieces of silver in her hand, feeling extremely worried. She wondered if the elder sister would be able to keep the money when she sent it back.

She is about to get engaged and get married. At that time, she should ask her husband to let her and her brother go back and have a look. She won't suffer so much after she arrives at her husband's house.

Weizhen was thinking wildly, but Jingxi was not that complicated. After calculating the money needed to buy things for his parents and sisters, he took out that part of the money and put it aside, and picked out two coins from the remaining handful of copper coins. , After thinking about it, I picked out two more.

He drooled and said, "Third sister, I'll treat you to candied haws tomorrow."

Wei Zhen came back to her senses, touched his cheek and smiled, "Eat it yourself, I don't like candied haws."

Jingxi was slightly disappointed, and said with some regret: "Eldest sister and the others have never eaten it, they must like it, but unfortunately the capital is too far away from our home, I can't send back the candied haws even if I bought them."

"Elder Sister and the others are very happy if you have this kind of heart." Weizhen put away the money, hid it in a secret corner, glanced at the hourglass and said, "It's very late, go to sleep, you have to go to the academy tomorrow .”

"Okay, next time when we rest and take a bath, let's go to the street to buy something for our parents, and then send it together. I don't know how long it will take for them to receive it..." Jingxi muttered as she went to sleep.

The siblings had a good night's sleep, got up early the next morning and went to the main courtyard after washing up. While Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were practicing Yangquan, they learned how to make gestures and moved their bodies before going to school for breakfast.

Zhao Ning stayed up late last night to revise the scriptures that had been annotated, and made a new one. He was showing the scriptures to Gu Jingyun, and asked him two new questions that he thought of when he was writing the scriptures last night.

Seeing that the senior brother's eyes were black and blue, Jingxi sighed like an adult, shook his head and said, "Eldest senior brother, you stayed up all night again, be careful to turn into panda eyes, and you will never be able to raise them again."

"A word learned from my wife again?" Zhao Ning glanced at him condescendingly, put a small steamed bun into his mouth and said, "That's called a panda, not a panda, and have you ever seen it? You just say I look like a panda." it?"

Jingxi took down the steamed buns and was about to speak, when Zhao Ning waved and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly, senior brother, my carriage will leave in a quarter of an hour, if you can't make it today, you can run."

Jingxi didn't dare to talk anymore, and hurriedly ate breakfast.

Every morning, Zhao Ning would pick them up and send them to the academy, while Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were husbands, so they could go to the academy later, and they usually waited until they had left to arrange today's affairs in the house before leaving.

Naturally, it is the same today.

Li Baolu asked Hongtao and others to sweep the yard where Zhao Ning lived again, and left after making sure there were no omissions.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu have no class in the afternoon, so they go home after the morning class. Gu Jingyun has a big class in the Wenhua Palace this afternoon. Not only the second and third princes will go, but His Royal Highness will also go to listen, so he will take a lunch break after returning. Go to the palace, while Li Baolu sits at home and waits for Zhao Ning to bring the distinguished guests back.

Zhao Ning didn't know who he was going to pick up until he stood at the gate of the city, and stood under the carriage stupidly looking at the billowing dust on the dirt road to Beijing.

Zhao Ning waved the dust in front of his eyes, and looked at Shun Xin helplessly, "Shun Xin, tell me, who exactly did he ask me to pick up, sir? No name, no badge, and he didn't even say when he would arrive. How can I pick it up?"

You don't know, I know!

Shun Xin was full of excitement, but suppressed his emotions and said: "Since you don't say anything, sir, it means that you only need to stand here, and the people we pick up will know that you are here to pick them up, so you can just stand here."

Zhao Ning rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know when you became so smart."

Shunxin smiled.

Zhao Ning couldn't help frowning and guessing: "Chongyang is approaching, could it be that the old man I have seen is here? So the master asked me to stand here to greet him? But there is no need to hide my name..."

Shun Xin tightly shut her mouth and did not speak.

Zhao Ning sighed, "The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, and I don't know if my grandfather will go to climb the heights this year to plant dogwoods."

"Don't worry, I will definitely go. Even if the old man doesn't go, the old man will carry the old man there."

There is only a small hill in their area. Every time the old man is carried up on a rattan chair, he drinks a glass of chrysanthemum wine, inserts a handful of dogwood, and then carries it down.

Especially when their uncle is still in the exam, that is their village, the only one in their Zhao family, they have to go!

Shunxin slandered while standing on tiptoe to watch the road to and from Beijing, keeping a distance, so as not to catch the words on the dart flag flying head-on.

Shun Xin's eyes lit up, and he widened his eyes to see that the bodyguard team was getting closer and closer. He skipped over the bodyguard in front and looked back, and soon found a young man sitting on the shaft of the car.

His eyes brightened, he grabbed his uncle's arm, and pointed forward excitedly?

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Zhao Ning was dragged by him and almost fell to the ground. Looking in the direction he pointed, he only saw a team of darts suppressed by the dart board. Dust was flying all over the sky, but he didn't see anything.

He looked away, continued to stare at the carriages that looked good, and muttered, "Has the person you want to pick up, sir, not arrived yet, or have we missed it?"

"Master, the person we picked up has arrived!" Shun Xin, who had been holding back all this time, finally couldn't help shouting excitedly, and pulled Zhao Ning to make him look forward, "Look who it is, look carefully!"

Zhao Ning squinted his eyes to see the bodyguard team, and his eyes flicked across the faces of one person after another. When he swept past the people sitting in a carriage, he swept past them habitually, then studied and widened his eyes slightly. Swept back again.

He stared carefully at the car's shaft, and then his eyes widened after a while.

The people on the shaft also saw Zhao Ning, waved to him excitedly, and shouted: "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, Brother Qing is here."

Zhao Qing jumped off the shaft, pulled the carriage and jumped over, escaped from the bodyguard team and ran over, shouting happily: "Third Uncle, we finally found you, look, I brought you Third Aunt .”

The curtain of the car was torn open with a "swish", and a young woman with red eyes poked her head out, looking at him with excitement and shyness, "Sister!"

Zhao Ning looked at her with his mouth wide open, not even noticing the dust flying into his mouth.
