Tolerate

Before dawn, Lu Qingming woke up.At this time of day, she has already got up to hold firewood to cook and mix pig food.

She opened her eyes, looked to the side, and found that she and Chi Muyun were very close.Chi Muyun only covered his waist with a thin blanket, exposing his slender white arms and legs, and was sleeping soundly.

Lu Qingming knew that he fell asleep and rolled around again.Quietly sniffing the fragrance of Chi Muyun's body, then rolled back lightly.

After lying down for a while, Lu Qingming finally heard Grandpa Westinghouse coughing and the voice of Grandpa talking, and she got up immediately.

When Chi Muyun rubbed his eyes and got up, the sun was already three poles high.Grandparents were eating in the outhouse, Chi Muyun asked, "Where's the child?"

Grandpa said: "I got up early in the morning and went to herd the sheep."

Chi Muyun was surprised: "Didn't eat?"

Grandpa pointed to the plate of steamed buns: "He left with two steamed buns."

The breakfast of the Chi family's grandparents has always been steamed buns and rice porridge, a few boiled salted eggs, or stewed egg custard with a plate of homemade pickles.

Chi Muyun sat down and took a sip of porridge, and saw that there was a pot of egg custard on the table today.She picked up the spoon and took a sip, and couldn't help asking again, "You only brought two steamed buns?"

Grandpa glanced at her, his beard twitched, as if he thought she was talking too much today: "Let her carry two salted eggs boiled yesterday (yesterday), this child doesn't want it."

Chi Muyun said "Oh", and put another spoonful of egg custard into her mouth. She still had half a steamed bun in her hand. She looked at grandma, and quietly put half of the steamed bun back on the plate.

"Leftovers!" Grandma gouged her out.

Chi Muyun stuck out his tongue.She went back to the house and took the camera, which was an Epson R-D1, which she bought for this trip back to the countryside.

Mom said she was born here.Therefore, she has a deep love for every plant and tree here.Last year, I took a minor in photography, and it happens to be practiced now.

Putting on his camera bag, Chi Muyun went out.Walking through the vegetable field outside the yard, she sharply saw several ripe tomatoes, two yellow and one red.

Chi Muyun squinted his eyes, put on a baseball cap, rolled up the legs of his sweatpants, and walked along the stalks of the vegetable field, stooping his waist, and took a lot of effort to pick the three tomatoes down.

"Little Cloud!"

Holding the persimmon in his hand, Chi Muyun looked up and saw Zhao Chunhua poking his head out of the wall with a bright red scarf tied around his head. Behind her was a field of corn, a patch of green.Zhao Chunhua likes to hang on the wall of his house when he has nothing to do, and chatters when he sees people, and she chatters out all the gossip in the village.

"Auntie, have you eaten yet?" Chi Muyun asked with a smile.

Zhao Chunhua said in a loud and noisy voice, "Eat, have you eaten?"

Before Chi Muyun could answer, Zhao Chunhua said "Oh my god", which startled Chi Muyun.Zhao Chunhua said: "Look at me, I forgot, my little Danzi is back, and he is now working in the city where you go to school!"

After Chi Muyun reacted, he remembered that he knew Xiaodanzi, but he hadn't seen him for many years.I heard that he went out to serve in the army.

"Is Xing Shujun also in City B?" Chi Muyun asked.Xing Shujun is Xiaodanzi's name.

"That's right, little Danzi is doing well now! He went to the county this morning, and when he comes back, I'll ask him to find you!"

Chi Muyun answered calmly, put the persimmons in his satchel, turned and left.She usually doesn't like Zhao Chunhua very much, she thinks she is too noisy and likes to speak ill of others.

She remembers very clearly that when her parents brought her back when she was less than ten years old, Zhao Chunhua said that the child was mean and unlucky, which angered her parents and turned against her on the spot.

It's not that Chi Muyun holds grudges, it's because she has a good memory.Um.

She kept this matter in mind, and when she usually looked in the mirror, she would pay attention to the shape of her face to see if she really looked like Zhao Chunhua, the longer she got, the meaner she got.

Fortunately, she had an oval face and didn't look mean, otherwise Zhao Chunhua wouldn't be sure what to say about her.

Chi Muyun walked up the mountain along the path.Halfway up the mountain, she stood still and looked back. At the foot of the mountain was a flat irrigated field, neatly stacked with corn.From a distance, this irrigated land looks like a lake with rippling blue waves, contrasting with the scattered red brick houses around.

Chi Muyun raised his camera and took a shot of the green lake.Blue sky, green waves, and distant mountains.

Here is a hilly area, the mountains are not like mountains, the slopes are very gentle, and the flat land is not like flat land, with rolling mountains and valleys.Walking to the top of the mountain, there is a vast pasture, and big sheep are actively jumping around.

Holding her camera up, she noticed some horns were tied with red strings.This is the sheep of grandpa's house.

Lu Qingming was lying on the grass with a piece of grass in his mouth.It was boring, and she had nothing to do, so she closed her eyes to rest, and opened her eyes to look at the sheep every once in a while.

Her ears are very sensitive, and she opened her eyes when she heard the footsteps that were different from sheep's kicking.

Chi Muyun leaned over, holding a big tomato in his hand, and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Lu Qingming sat up without saying a word, and took the tomatoes.Chi Muyun also sat down, took out another one from his bag, and took a small bite.

The fruits and vegetables grown by ourselves in the countryside can be eaten after picking. There are no pesticides, and they are all natural.

What Chi Muyun ate was yellow, "It's so sour..." Chi Muyun muttered, sticking out his tongue.

Lu Qingming turned to look at her, and then took the tomato from her hand. "Yellow is sour, red is sweet." Lu Qingming said.

Seeing Lu Qingming holding a tomato in each hand, Chi Muyun couldn't help laughing: "You want to eat mine too?"

Lu Qingming just looked at her, frowned seriously and said, "You eat red." Then he handed the tomato in her hand to Chi Muyun.

Chi Muyun was a little embarrassed, the yellow one was bitten by her.Before she could speak, Lu Qingming put the tomato near his mouth and took a big bite.

Chi Muyun also took the red one.The red one is sweeter, she really doesn't know.

On Lu Qingming's arm was tied the straw hat Chi Muyun gave her.Chi Muyun took a look and noticed a few bruises on her arms.

When I bathed her yesterday, the light bulb was too dim, so she didn't pay much attention.

Chi Muyun asked, "What's wrong with your arm?"

Lu Qingming reacted to her words, lowered his head in a daze, and raised his arms, "Here...?"

Chi Muyun already had a lot of guesses in his heart when the silly girl was being stupid.

"Your mother hit you?" Chi Muyun asked softly.

Lu Qingming swallowed the tomato, licked his lips, and said slowly, "My mother, don't hit me."

Chi Muyun was slightly relieved.But what the hell is going on with this bruise.

After a while, maybe 5 minutes, Chi Muyun ate up the tomatoes.Only then did Lu Qingming say: "My mother screwed me up."

Chi Muyun was a little speechless.She stopped talking, so Lu Qingming also kept silent, raising his whip from time to time to scare the running sheep, and then secretly glanced at Chi Muyun.

The sun was getting bigger and bigger, Chi Muyun was wearing a baseball cap and long sleeves, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Lu Qingming was wearing wide half-length sleeves, and his dark neck was covered with sweat.

Chi Muyun couldn't help but said, "Why don't you wear the hat on your head, but tie it on your arm?"

Lu Qingming touched his neck, turned his little head, and didn't speak.

Reluctant to wear it?Chi Muyun's usually calm mood was a little turbulent.She didn't know what her cousin was thinking, even if she wasn't her own, she shouldn't do this to a ten-year-old child, right?

She reached out her hand to touch Lu Qingming's head, but halfway she felt awkward, so she retracted it and pretended to brush her hair.

Lu Qingming noticed her movement, and turned his head to stare at her fixedly.

Being stared at by a silly girl makes my heart shudder.Chi Muyun stabilized his mind, and reached out to pat her lightly on the head.

Lu Qingming's hair was cut short, and the hair texture was also a bit hard, making it a bit sticky to the touch.

"Little fool!" A rough voice suddenly came from a distance.

When Lu Qingming heard the voice, he flinched.Chi Muyun turned his head and saw a man in ragged clothes limping over from the dirt slope, holding a whip in his hand, driving the sheep over and over again.

Chi Muyun didn't know him, so he looked away lightly, not going to answer him.Probably also the shepherd in the village.

Lu Qingming lowered his head and grabbed Chi Muyun's arm.

Chi Muyun froze, she wanted to shake Lu Qingming's hand away, but Lu Qingming was so strong that he was almost buried in her arms, looking a little scared.

Zhang Laosi walked closer, only to see a beautiful woman sitting next to Lu Qingming.Zhang Laosi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember whose girl this was.

But after looking at Chi Muyun's clothes, he guessed that this was old man Chi's granddaughter from that city.

Zhang Laosi looked down on the arrogance of the people in the city.He looked at Chi Muyun and said, "A kid from the city still goes to the mountains to herd sheep?"

Chi Muyun frowned, and said, "Uncle, people in the city also have to eat."

Zhang Laosi shook his whip and laughed loudly: "I'm the wrong generation, how can I be called uncle, you have to call me 'brother'!"

Zhang Laosi has an old face, so Chi Muyun is too embarrassed to call him brother.Staring at Chi Muyun with greasy eyes made Chi Muyun very unhappy.

She gave Zhang Laosi a cold look: "My dad never told me that there is his nephew in the village."

Zhang Laosi saw that she was choking on him, and he was a little bored, so he flicked his whip and limped away.

Chi Muyun saw him walking away, so he pushed Lu Qingming: "He's gone."

Still holding her arm, Lu Qingming raised his head and said, "Yesterday, he asked me...to undress..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chi Muyun was taken aback.Thinking of that man's greasy eyes just now, she felt nauseated in her heart.

"If I don't do it, I will run away, and he...he will chase after him." Lu Qingming stammered.

Chi Muyun was a little nervous: "And then?"

"I ran fast and couldn't catch up. He... limped." Lu Qingming said with a smirk.
