Chapter 415 I Will Never Do Something Stupid Like Sacrificing Myself for Others
The basket on Bai Jiaojiao's back was filled with a lot of wild vegetables, and no one knew how long she had been digging.
Yun Qinghuan saw that the child was covered in dust, frowned, and walked forward, "Jiaojiao."
"You didn't go to school this afternoon?"
Jiaojiao wiped the sweat off her face, and saw that Yun Qinghuan was still a little flustered, "Auntie, no, I went to school."
"Then when did you dig these wild vegetables?"
There are so many wild vegetables, and you can't dig so many just after school.
Since Yun Qinghuan asked the commune to divide the compensation into several parts, now Bai Jiaojiao's father Bai Guanglin has to take the two children to the commune to collect the money every month. Yun Qinghuan thought that Bai Guanglin would not treat Bai Jiaojiao too badly for the sake of the money.
Who would have thought that Bai Jiaojiao would be responsible for digging wild vegetables while going to school?
And dig so many?
Her face was not very good.
Jiang Wenxiu had a good relationship with her and helped her a lot when she was alive. Yun Qinghuan couldn't bear to see her friend's beloved daughter being wasted like this.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face, "I went to dig wild vegetables after lunch, otherwise I would go after school. The time is too short and I can't dig so many wild vegetables."
"Aunt, you don't have to feel sorry for me. I know you are doing this for my own good, but if I offend my father and grandmother, I'm afraid they will trip you up in secret, which is not worth it. It's good now. I help the family with some things every day to shut them up. I can continue to go to school and take care of my brother. When I grow up, everything will be fine."
Her mother's compensation is not small, and she also has a part of it. In addition to the little money her father receives every month, when she comes of age, she can also take out some money. Although it's not much, it's enough for her to live for a while.
Bai Jiaojiao is no longer the little girl who panicked and subconsciously looked for adults when she encountered something a year ago.
Now, her eyes are calm, and she looks like a little adult.
Yun Qinghuan felt sour when she heard the child's words, and she also knew that Bai Jiaojiao didn't want to trouble her too much because of her own affairs, so she nodded, "Okay, but I've made an agreement with you. If they still bully you, just come to me and I'll help you vent your anger."
Bai Jiaojiao smiled, her smile was bright, even though life has been very difficult in the past year and her skin was tanned, but she still looked very beautiful, "Aunt, thank you, without you, I really don't know what I'm doing now."
Aunt is her benefactor, so Bai Jiaojiao cherishes Yun Qinghuan very much and doesn't want to trouble her all the time, fearing that the affection between the two will be exhausted because of her endless demands.
Yun Qinghuan stepped forward, smiled and touched the little girl's head, "Wait a minute, I have something to give you."
Then she carried the child back to the house, took out the butterfly hairpin prepared for Bai Jiaojiao, and handed it to Bai Jiaojiao.
The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the hairpin, "Is it for me?"
She was a little unbelievable.
Even though she looks mature, she is still a ten-year-old girl, and she will be moved when she sees a beautiful hairpin.
Yun Qinghuan smiled, "Yes, it's for you."
"Try it now, it will look beautiful when you put it on your head."
Bai Jiaojiao carefully took the hairpin, and before taking it, she carefully wiped her hands on her clothes, as if she was afraid that her hands would dirty the hairpin.
She looked at the hairpin carefully, as if she wanted to remember their beautiful appearance in her heart, and then returned the hairpin to Yun Qinghuan, "Auntie, I have seen the hairpin and I really like it, but it is not suitable for me, you can keep it for your sister."
There was still reluctance in her eyes.
But Bai Jiaojiao was very sensible, she knew that the hairpin must be very expensive.
Auntie has helped her a lot, she can't let her aunt spend money again.
Yun Qinghuan didn't take it, "Just take it. I've already bought Xiaoxue's hairpin. I'll put it on her when she's older. This pair is for you."
Finally, Bai Jiaojiao accepted the hairpin, her eyes were red, and she stared at Yun Qinghuan for a long time. Her lips moved, wanting to say something but not opening her mouth.
The air was a little stagnant, and Yun Qinghuan spoke first, "By the way, did you eat the dishes I asked your brother to take back for Xiaoxue's full moon banquet last time?"
"I ate it."
"Is it delicious?"
Bai Jiaojiao thought of Haida's bowl full of chicken and braised pork, and nodded heavily, "Delicious."
She hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.
Ever since her mother's compensation was taken away and redistributed by the people of the commune, there was also a share for her grandparents and her. When her grandmother saw her, she would scold her for losing money. It was good enough to raise her, but now she was still thinking about the family's money.
She said she was an ungrateful person.
Some of the scolding was really unpleasant. When Bai Jiaojiao first heard the words her dear grandmother scolded her, she was so angry that she cried.
She was ashamed and embarrassed.
Later, she got used to being scolded and really realized that she was worthless in her grandmother's heart. Then she began to put away the pitiful discomfort in her heart and slowly built a fortress to protect herself.
But her grandmother thought that sending her to school was already a concession and was also the most righteous.
The delicious food at home could not reach her mouth.
She hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.
Bai Jiaojiao thought a lot in her heart, and looked up at the child in Yun Qinghuan's arms. The little guy happened to look at her curiously.
Xiaoxue's eyebrows and eyes were delicate. Even if she was still a baby, she was much prettier than other children.
Thinking that Bai Jiaojiao was playing with her, she also showed a soft smile, which was very cute.
Bai Jiaojiao also smiled, "My sister is so pretty."
Seeing Yun Qinghuan holding the child tenderly, there was envy in his eyes.
When her mother was alive, she often held her like this.
Yun Qinghuan didn't talk to Bai Jiaojiao for too long. Knowing that she would have final exams soon, he asked her to study hard and do the housework if she could. If she couldn't, she would just throw a tantrum and not do it, and have a bad temper.
Anyway, Bai Jiaojiao's father and grandmother didn't dare to really do anything to her now.
Her most important task now is to study hard and strive to get out of this rural area in the future.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't know, but Yun Qinghuan knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, and college students would be very popular in the next 20 years.
In addition, the motherland is in a stage of rapid development in the next few decades, and all kinds of talents are urgently needed.
If Bai Jiaojiao really wants to get out of the countryside, then studying and taking the college entrance examination will be the best way out for her, an ordinary rural girl with no one to rely on.
After the people walked away, Yun Qinghuan paused as he looked at her back, and finally sighed, hugged the girl in his arms and kissed her.
"Mom will definitely protect you well."
For the sake of her daughter, An'an and Xiao Shitou, she will keep herself safe and will never do anything stupid that would sacrifice herself for others.
The little guy didn't understand and giggled in her arms.
