Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

The move out of Xu's house was sudden, and it suddenly made Xu Nannan feel incredible. It's too simple. But after another thought, it seemed reasonable.

In short, it was just a coincidence. The Xu family wanted to teach Xu Nannan, because Xu Nannan is no longer obedient and obedient, so he can't do it anymore, so as not to make trouble outside. So he threatened her and told her to get out of the house. In order to suppress her.

A fifteen-year-old girl who wants money but no money, wants food but no food, and where she hasn't lived yet, is swept out by her family, she can't survive. At this time, naturally, I can only bow my head to the adults at home, and live honestly in the future.

Exactly, Xu Nannan has already changed his core.

Xu Nannan climbed down smoothly, and the Xu family was struggling to ride a tiger, so the two children went out directly with their small bags.

The two sisters had no luggage, only a small bag of clothes Xu Nannan had brought from Li Jing, and a bed of cotton wool covered by the two sisters.

The cotton wool was already very old, and Grandma Xu didn't look down on it, so she didn't stop.

Except for these, anything else is forbidden to be taken away.

Xu Nannan also looked down upon, holding a bag in one hand and Xu Xiaoman in the other, and walked out of the yard.

Mrs. Xu scolded in it, "Get out of this door and don't even think about coming back."

It's a pity that Xu Nannan didn't look back.

"This **** girl, no, I will send a telegram to Jiansheng tomorrow." Old lady Xu angrily covered her heart. Liu Qiao hurriedly helped her, "I should send a telegram to make it clear, or else the eldest brother will have to misunderstand that we don't want Erya and Siya at home."

Grandpa Xu said, "No need to post, anyway, I will be back in a few days. There is no need to let Jiansheng come back and delay his work."

"Then what if they ran to the city to find Big Brother again?" Xu Jianhai asked worriedly beside him. When Zhang Cuiqin heard it, she nodded again and again, "That is, what if they take the opportunity to go to the city."

After Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman into the city last time, no one doubted that these two children had this ability.

Moreover, Xu Jiansheng's performance at home last time gave them a sense of crisis.

Third Uncle Xu Jianping frowned, "Or I will get the two children back." The child is too naive, so he must be disciplined.

Grandpa Xu smoked a few cigarettes, "I'll go to Gensheng and say that I won't be allowed to open a letter of introduction to them this month. Gensheng is a sensible person and should know great."

He felt that within a month, the child would come back by himself, maybe in a few days.

When Grandpa Xu said so, the Xu family naturally could only listen.

Although Mrs. Xu is the master of the Xu family, big things are really going on. As long as Grandpa Xu speaks, the weight is still very heavy.

Outside, Xu Nannan also took Xu Xiaoman's hand and walked out of the village. Although it was already dark at this time, they had no place to live, and they could only temporarily live in the wooden house on the mountain. No matter what, it was a place that could shelter from the wind and rain.

The two people walked through the front room, and the door of the front yard suddenly opened. Song Guihua walked out from the inside and looked at the two children anxiously, "Nannan, why are you coming out?"

"Aunt Osmanthus, Xiao Man and I have left home, and we will live alone in the future."

"Is what the stone said is true?"

Song Guihua said in surprise. Shishi is her youngest son, unlike his twin brother. The whole **** likes to make trouble outside. It was dark just now, and before he came back, Song Guihua was going to look for it, but the child ran back with her feet on her feet, saying that she heard that she was going to drive sister Xu Nannan out of the house. So she kept watching in the yard, but she didn't expect to see the two sisters coming out of the house.

"Mom, I didn't talk nonsense, I heard the old beggar say so." The stone showed his small head from the door, his hair slicked and shaved. Most of the kids in the village have this kind of easy-to-care hairstyle.

"I said what you are talking about? What are you shouting, hurry into the house." Song Guihua scolded with a dark face.

She felt embarrassed when her son called the old beggar in front of the family.

After driving away her son, Song Guihua looked at the two sisters again, "Why do your adults have such a big heart? This dark sky is driving you outside, and you are not afraid that you have no place to live. No, I will lead you. You go to Xu Gensheng, if he doesn't care, let's go to the township to find the secretary of the commune. "It's okay to abuse the child at ordinary times. It's a big deal for this child to go out.

Xu Nannan waved his hand again and again, "Auntie, don't go. I am willing to come out by myself. They don't want me to stay at home, and I'm still happy to be at home. After I come out, at least I won't be obscured anymore."

"Why don't you understand, it's good to come out, but what do you eat and where to live? It won't be a day or two from now on." Song Guihua looked at the two children worriedly.

If possible, she is also willing to take in these two children. After all, I also have two boys at home, so I just raise two girls. But her family can't afford it, and although she is valued in this family, she can't be the master.

"Or, let's go to my house for one night today, and we will find those cadres tomorrow to see if we can help settle down."

Song Guihua thought for a while, but still couldn't bear to let the two children sleep in the wilderness.

Xu Nannan shook his head, "Auntie, I know you are kind enough to help us, but Xiaoman and I already have a place to live. We are going to live on the mountain farm, and there is a house available. As for food, somehow I can dig some wild vegetables on the mountain over there. , When it’s winter, I can also divide the grain."

After finally leaving the Xu family, she didn't want to go to other people's homes anymore. I don't want to owe more favors. Don't even want to cause trouble to Song Guihua.

"How do people live in that place." Song Guihua sighed.

"I usually work over there, and I am familiar with it. Aunt, don't worry about us. Xiaoman and I have to go there to pack our things, so we'll go ahead and talk to auntie in a hurry."

"No, I'll go with you, and help you clean up." Song Guihua was a little weak. I want to help the child more, but I can't do anything. I can only look at tomorrow and discuss this with the cadres in the village. See if the village can help.

Xu Nannan couldn't refuse her kindness anymore, so he could only respond.

Song Guihua entered the door to pack some things, and soon went out with the basket. "Let's go, let's go, it will be hard to prepare when it gets dark later."

The wooden house on the farm usually only has a broken table and chairs, which He Qiusheng prepared before. There is no place to sleep inside. But Xu Nannan cut a pile of hogweed in the afternoon. Song Guihua helped to make a bed, and put the broken cotton wool Xu Nannan took from Xu's family on it, which temporarily became a bed.

"This place is like this, how to live. Or go back with me and talk about it tomorrow." Song Guihua couldn't bear to look at this place. These two are still children, and it is too hard to live outside.

"Very good, Aunt Osmanthus, don't worry." Xu Nannan patted the new bed. She always has to face this day, so it's better to get used to it earlier.

Song Guihua couldn't. Seeing that the darkness is not good enough to stay longer. She took out the contents of the basket. A few wowotou, and two eggs. The other is a small bag of millet, which should look like five or six kilograms, and it can be cooked for a few days if it is cooked with wild vegetables.

"You are still children. I don't know the hard work of living. Apart from finding a place to live, you must have everything you need to eat. Let's do this for now." Song Guihua still felt that the two children would definitely go home. Even if their grandparents don't care, and their parents come back to know, they won't let them live outside.

As for Xu Nannan really taking Xu Xiaoman to live outside, it must be impossible. This Nan Nan is only fifteen years old, and he is a child, how can he set up a family.

When Xu Nannan looked at these things, his heart was moved warmly. These things are nothing in the future, but in this era when materials and food are scarce, they are very precious things. Aunt Osmanthus and them are not relatives, but they are more like relatives than those of the Xu family.

"Aunt Osmanthus, thank you."

"Thank you, okay, you and Xiaoman should rest early, sleep for one night, and it will be fine after daybreak. I will go back first." After Song Guihua finished speaking, she stopped and helped the two children to bring the door to the door. Back to the village down the mountain.

Xu Nannan opened the door and watched Song Guihua slowly walk away vaguely.

"Xiao Man, you must keep in mind the people who are good to us. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must repay others."

"Well, I remember, Aunt Osmanthus, Uncle Gen Sheng, and Director Zhu..." Xu Xiaoman said seriously about these people who had helped them. It's just that I feel a little worried, will they have the ability to reciprocate in the future?

Xu Nannan bought a candle from Taobao. He originally wanted to buy a flashlight, but because of Xiaoman's side, he still didn't buy it.

The candle was lit, there was light in the room, and it was a little warmer.

Xu Nannan pulled another blanket out of the haystack. I made the bed a bit warmer than it just looked.

"Sister, shall we sleep now?"

"Go to bed later, let's go down the mountain." Xu Nannan said suddenly.

"What are you doing down the mountain?"

"Go and see Uncle He."

After knowing the news of He Qiusheng's illness before, Xu Nannan felt a little sympathetic to him, just to avoid suspicion, so he didn't go to see He Qiusheng. After just experiencing Song Guihua's warm feelings, she felt that if she was capable, she could help the other party appropriately. Who knows when she needs help from others, just like she does now.

If it weren't for a Taobao store, she might be in a different situation now.

Everyone could sleep at night. When the two sisters returned to the village, every household in the village was already asleep. When I came to He Qiusheng's door, I heard He Qiusheng's coughing inside.

Xu Nannan knocked on the door lightly, "Uncle He."

"Xu Nannan?" He Qiusheng said in a weak voice.

"It's me." Xu Nannan replied.

Before long, He Qiusheng came to open the door. It's just that little strength. After opening the door, he leaned on the wall and tremblingly returned to the bed.

"Why are you here?"

"We heard that you are sick." Xu Nannan went to the online store of candles and put the things in her hands on the table. It was the millet porridge she had just cooked in a kettle on the mountain. "I made some porridge for you, you can eat something."

He Qiusheng leaned on the bed and looked at her slightly with his eyes open, "Ahem, I didn't expect someone to come to see me. I thought no one would know if I died here."

There was a bit of self-deprecating in his voice.

"Uncle, you won't die. I was sick before and didn't die." Xu Xiaoman hurriedly said. She is most afraid of people saying this word. When she was sick before, her milk used to say that she would die.

He Qiusheng smiled, "Actually, sometimes, death may be better than alive." If he was brave at that time and died earlier, he might not have experienced the torture afterwards.

"But I think it's better to die than to live." Xu Nannan heard that He Qiusheng meant that he didn't want to live, and immediately said firmly. "Uncle He, Xiaoman and I have left home now."

"Huh?" He Qiusheng looked at her. She seemed a little surprised, or she didn't understand why she suddenly changed the subject.

Xu Nannan sighed, "Uncle He knows how the family treats us. It stands to reason that Xiaoman and I have no hope in the future. But I don't accept my fate. God let me meet such a family member, I have no choice, but I can always try to make myself a better life. Uncle He, did you just admit your fate? You are a high-level intellectual and an educated person. You know more than us, and you must have a better way of letting yourself live than us. It's getting better. Maybe it's uncomfortable now, but who knows in the future."

She knew that He Qiusheng's life might be even more sad during the future sports period, but before that day comes, who knows what will happen.

He Qiusheng was silent.

Xu Nannan felt that the topic was a bit heavy, and put the bowl in his hand, "Uncle, eat some hot porridge, and you will feel better. When you get better, you will feel better."

Xu Xiaoman nodded, "Yes, if you have a full meal, you will be in a good mood."

He Qiusheng held the bowl and didn't move for a while. In the dim candlelight, Xu Nannan faintly saw tears in the corners of his eyes.

Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman didn't wait much. They watched He Qiusheng start eating, and then left together.

He Qiusheng ate the porridge in a few bites. He didn't know if it was because of his mood or whether the porridge was really useful. He felt that his cold body was warming up. How long has it been, he himself has forgotten that since experiencing that incident, the human relationship is warm and the world is very cold, even the closest people have left him, and there is still someone who will give him a little warmth.

Xu Nannan didn't know that his bowl of porridge could have such a big effect. On the way back, Xu Xiaoman asked him, "Is Uncle He still sad?"

"...I don't know." Xu Nannan felt sad. It's just that she can't do anything.

I came to see He Qiusheng because I didn't want to see him lying in bed alone and experiencing pain. She can't help much, at least she can do what she wants. If He Qiusheng still insists on giving up the hope of survival, she can do nothing.

Back in the wooden house, the two reached the door on the table from the inside, and the sisters lay on the makeshift bed together.

"It's so soft, soft, and more comfortable than sleeping in the bed at home." Xu Xiaoman smiled.

"In the future, I will be rich. My sister will buy you a Simmons, so that you can sleep well."

"What is Simmons?" The little girl started yawning.

Xu Nannan looked at the roof and smiled and recalled, "It's like sleeping on Cotton Mountain."

"It must be very comfortable..."

Soon, there was a small grunt. Xu Nannan glanced at his head and then smiled, "Xiao Man, Sister will definitely live a good life and make her life better and better!"

No matter why God let her come into this world, her only goal is to live like a person. Of course, the primary goal is to truly be independent from the Xu family.

In the morning, the two children cooked porridge with millet given by Song Guihua, added two eggs, and ate the first breakfast after leaving home.

There is no need to be scolded by grandma while eating, Xu Xiaoman feels extremely happy.

"Sister, don't we need to go home anymore?"

After Xu Nannan finished eating the porridge, he looked at her sideways, "Do you want to go back?" This is a question. She herself is unwilling to go back, but Xu Xiaoman is Xu's family from the inside out. This fact cannot be changed.

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoman shook his head firmly, "I want to follow my sister. Sister, I can also earn work points, I can go to the ground. I am full now and have strength. Let's earn work points together, and we will get food at the end of the year. There is food."

"You don't need to earn work points. After a while, my sister has arrangements." Xu Nannan felt that he still couldn't do it when he asked a nine-year-old child to work in the field.

Especially Xu Xiaoman is very small, he looks like he is more than seven years old, a little doll, alas, he still needs nutrition.

The two sisters finished their meal and packed them up. Before they had time to go to the village to find Xu Gensheng, Song Guihua panted and called them to go to the village.

Song Guihua didn't sleep well all night when she went back, always thinking about the two children living in the wilderness, and her heart was very uneasy. So in the morning, I went to Xu Gensheng to talk about it. Xu Gensheng was a little bit embarrassed and wanted to get along with the mud. I feel that the child is awkward, so I might just look back. But Song Guihua was not happy, and felt that even if she only lived for a while, she still had to help. So immediately ran into the mountains to find the two sisters Xu Nannan.

Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman followed Song Guihua directly to the field to find Xu Gensheng.

Xu Gensheng is announcing the work to be done at the end of the year. The country has to do a lot of construction work in his village. The task is not small. It is necessary to arrange people to build farmland bases with people in other villages. For them, where there are not many water sources, this is a big task.

People in the village don't want to go too much, but it is arranged that at least one person must be from each family.

When Xu Jianhai heard about this, they all felt a little bad. There will definitely be more work points and food on the base, but that job is not what ordinary people can do.

If this is really done, how many people can stand it.

Zhang Cuiqin's eyes rolled, "Captain Xu, must a man go, can a woman go?"

Xu Gensheng looked at her sideways, "What's wrong, do you want to go? This is pretty good, I will apply for you as an activist at that time."

"Oh, it's not, I can't go away. I'm asking for our Erya. This kid can also work, but he can't discriminate." Zhang Cuiqin waved his hand again and again.

When the people around heard this, they frowned. Adults are not very able to do the work, Nan Nan can do it? If this is done, the child will also be abandoned.

"Yo yo yo, I really have never seen such a shameless person. The man has to have a little girl to do it instead." Song Guihua walked over with her waist in, followed by sister Xu Nannan.

Xu Nannan also looked at Zhang Cuiqin with a black line on his face. It seems that coming out of the house yesterday was not foolproof. This is something that people are thinking about.

"What's wrong, can you manage our family's affairs?" Zhang Cuiqin wrinkled her face.
