"Thank you, grandma," Su Ziling cheered and kissed the side of grandma's face.
"Grandma, you are so kind! Don't worry, I will definitely honor you in the future. I will make you a lot of money, buy you delicious food, and buy you silk and satin..."
The girl smiled so happily and began to draw unlimited cakes for Su Ah Nai.
"Grandma is old and has bad teeth. She can't eat so many cakes. As long as you live well, Grandma will be happy."
Su Ziling lay weakly on her back, swaying from side to side, Su A'nai patted her hand and pampered her.
"Grandma, how can this be a painted cake?" Su Ziling pinched her nose, "I'm serious, didn't you just say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later, and your granddaughter's blessing is great. Just wait and see!"
"Aren't you going to go up the mountain? If you don't leave, your mother-in-law will come back!" Su A'nai reminded.
"Oh, yes, let's go up the mountain. Grandma, please remember to cooperate!" Su Ziling let go of her hand and stood up to get the backpack.
Su A'nai stood by the door and whispered, "Don't go to the mountains that are too high. Just take a stroll nearby."
Su Ziling made an OK gesture to her. Seeing Grandma's puzzled face, she smiled and said, "Don't worry Grandma, I originally planned to go to Xiaopingshan, wander around there and then come back."
She was carrying a basket on her back and waving towards Su A'nai.
Grandma Su stood at the door, watching her walking away, "Be careful, play for a while and then go home."
"I got it, Grandma!" The girl turned around and waved at her from afar, "Grandma, please go back quickly and bask in the sun."
The reason why it is called Xiaoping Mountain is because compared with other mountains where you cannot see the top when you look up, it is really short and relatively not that steep.
It is also for this reason that every year the wild vegetables here are plundered by children early.
Entering this mountain at this time, there is really nothing there.
Perhaps she was recovering from a serious illness. As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, Su Ziling was already out of breath. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, sat down on the ground, drank some water, and looked around carefully.
Their village is called Baihuadong. It is a poor ravine with no village in front and no store in the back. It is surrounded by mountains. If you want to go out to the town, it will take three hours (six hours, no exaggeration, that's the distance from our side). )
Therefore, most of the village is self-sufficient. If you really need something, you can save up a lot. Only then can you go out to the mountains.
"Xiaoqing? Why are you sitting here? Are you feeling well?" A woman carrying firewood stopped and asked.
Su Ziling was so lost in thought that she didn't notice her until she made a sound.
Looking at the sweating woman, she stood up and took the basket for her, "I'm much better, Aunt Ji, why are you carrying so much weight? Next time, carry it more lightly and run more."
Ji Yunchu smiled and sat next to Su Ziling. She took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped her sweat while saying, "It's not very heavy. I usually carry it like this."
She is very particular, and she is also dressed in coarse linen clothes, but she has a different kind of temperament about her.
Her hair is also combed differently from that of ordinary women, it seems... more complicated. The skin on her face is pale, the corners of her eyes and brows are tired, and her hands...
Su Ziling's eyes fell on her hands. They were beautiful hands, with long fingers and well-defined nails. The nails were trimmed very cleanly, unlike ordinary peasant women who always had a layer of mud under their fingernails.
However, the fingers and palm were full of cracks.
Seeing that Su Ziling's eyes were always on her hand, Ji Yunchu looked at the handkerchief in her hand, smiled softly, and handed the handkerchief over.
Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, her face full of confusion.
Ji Yunchu smiled and explained: "I heard from the villagers that you are learning embroidery from your grandma. My pattern is from Jiangdu, so it should be different from yours."
Su Ziling understood that Ji Yunchu thought she was attracted to her veil.
Su Ziling shook her head and pushed her hand back. Ji Yunchu's smile faded a little, "Xiao Qing is disgusted..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Ziling interrupted her, "It's not that I dislike it, it's that I can't embroider anymore," she said, looking down at her hands.
"How could it be?" Ji Yunchu exclaimed softly.
"Didn't I fall down a few days ago? I can't hold the needle anymore." The girl said lightly.
Ji Yunchu looked distressed. Embroidery was considered a very powerful craft in this era, but now it can no longer be done...
Su Ziling smiled nonchalantly, "Aunt Ji, why haven't you seen Yunhe? I haven't seen her for a long time."
Liu Yunhe is her daughter and Su Ziling's best friend. She was probably influenced by her mother. Her speech and behavior are different from ordinary little girls. This is why the original owner prefers to play with her.
Ji Yunchu, everyone said that she was a young lady from a wealthy family. Through the Jiangdu (now Yangzhou) she mentioned just now...
Su Ziling lowered her eyes. It seemed that her status as a wealthy family member was true.
As for why she ended up living in Baihua Cave, there are different opinions. Some said that her family was in ruins, some said that she ran away with her lover and was cheated. In short, there were various theories, but she never came forward to explain.
She was brought back by an old man from the village, and she took Liu Yunhe with her. Well, Yunhe hadn't changed her surname at that time, and her surname was still Ji.
Outsiders were not allowed to settle in the village unless they had a road to guide them, but at that time Ji Yunchu had nothing but a package with a few clothes inside.
If she wants to settle down in Baihua Cave, the only possibility is to marry here. Since she has a child, ordinary people will not marry her, except...
Liu Ergou who couldn't get a wife.
In order to give her child a safe place, Ji Yunchu married Liu Ergou. The two also had a son, who was just three months old. This was probably the reason why her face looked relatively pale.
Everyone was talking behind their backs, saying that Ji Yunchu's good cabbage was eaten by a big black bear, and they all secretly sighed that it was a pity.
After all, she was really good-looking when she first came here, with bright eyes and white teeth, her eyes were crooked when she smiled, and her skin was as white as a shelled egg.
When walking, she is graceful and graceful.
Look now, in just a few years, he has been wasted and looks ten years older.
Liu Ergou, the reason why people in the village called him a bad guy, was mainly because he was lazy and liked to drink a little wine. Every time he got into trouble, he would beat Ji Yunchu and his daughter.
Ji Yunchu not only has to take care of the children, but also the second wife, and she does all the work in the fields at home.
But she was excited. Half a month ago, she hadn't worn it yet. She vaguely remembered based on the memory in her mind that Liu Ergou seemed to be dead.
Ji Yunchu fell to death in front of his home. The next day, Ji Yunchu got up and opened the door. When he saw Liu Ergou lying on the ground with blood all over his face, he was so frightened that he screamed.
The screams attracted the neighbors, and later Li Zheng came forward and arranged for someone to help with the funeral arrangements.
Su's father happened to be one of them. The original owner vaguely heard a few words, and it seemed that Liu Ergou had not fallen to death, but that the back of his head had been shot open.
After all, when the body was collected, many people saw that he was face down. If he really fell to death, the place where he was hit would be on his head, not the back of his head.
These words were said by Father Su, Grandma Su and Mr. Su in the room. The room was silent for a long time.
Finally, Su A'nai sighed and said: "That kid is pitiful, just pretend you don't know about this."
The original owner didn't hear the rest of the words, but since even Su's father discovered the abnormality, I think Li Zheng and the others must have discovered it too. Since no one said anything, Su's father would naturally not say anything.
When he mentioned his daughter, the corners of Ji Yunchu's lips slowly rose, his eyes sparkling, "Ahe is taking care of his younger brother at home. Let her come and play with you another day."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Ji Yunchu hurried home carrying firewood.
Although she was bent down, her steps felt windy. This should be considered a rebirth for her.
