People are not the same.
She looked at Su Xiao suspiciously. "Lanzi, weren't you the one who suggested going a few days ago? Why are you going back on your word now? "
It wasn't easy for her to convince her parents to let her go to the market. Why did Su Xiao change her mind at the last minute? She had a feeling that Lanzi was a little strange today, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange about her.
Su Xiao was stunned. Only then did she realize that she had overreacted.
She saw that she was suspicious, but she didn't know how to explain to Zhao Xueer about the sudden situation at the market. She couldn't possibly say that they had provoked the skinny monkey and caused the massacre of their entire family, could she? Naturally, she couldn't say this. She couldn't even reveal half a word to her parents, let alone Zhao Xueer, who was only a close friend.
She casually found an excuse. "Xue 'er, I originally wanted to go to the market, but my mother said that there were only a dozen eggs at home, so she didn't want to go to the market to sell them. My mother wanted to keep the eggs for my older brother to nourish his body."
"Did Second Brother Su go home to visit his family?" Zhao Xueer asked.
Su Xiao was worried that she couldn't find an excuse, so she didn't think too much about it. She casually replied, "He sent a letter a few days ago saying that he was coming back."
Zhao Xueer was wild with joy, but she didn't dare to show too much expression on her face. She kept rubbing the bamboo basket with her hands as she looked up at Su Xiao with sparkling eyes. "I heard that Second Brother Su was promoted. Is that true?"
At this time, Su Xiao was still thinking about something and didn't raise her head. If she did, she would definitely see Zhao Xueer's shining eyes. She was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to Xue 'er's question.
"He sent a telegram a few days ago saying that he was promoted. After going to the military academy for two years, he would be able to become a platoon leader."
Zhao Xueer couldn't hide the joy in her heart. She had originally planned to stay with Su Xiao, but when she thought of her parents and looked at the eggs in the basket, she felt a little awkward.
These eggs were sold to pay for Zhao Tianci's school fees.
She gritted her teeth and said to Su Xiao, "Lanzi, I'll go to the market first. I'll find you when I come back."
"Xue 'er, wait a moment." Su Xiao stopped her and went through the words in her heart. "You don't have to go either. Save these eggs first. When my brother comes back, we'll go together."
Zhao Xueer was ecstatic. Just as he was about to agree, he thought again and shook his head. "Forget it. Let's talk about it in a few days."
People were different. Su Xiao could stay at home and do nothing, but Zhao Xueer couldn't. She had to pay for her younger brother's school fees. Otherwise, her mother would scold her again.
Su Xiao wanted to call out to her, but Zhao Xueer walked very fast. In just a short while, she was gone.
Su Xiao was in a daze, unable to react for a moment.
She carefully recalled the scene that day. There was still time. Suddenly, she remembered that it was indeed today.
Skinny Monkey went to the county to inspect. Later, that incident happened and caused a disaster for the Su Family. Therefore, Su Xiao had to stop Zhao Xueer from going to the market.
Zhao Xueer's appearance, although not as beautiful as Su Xiao's, was still a classic little beauty. If Skinny Monkey saw her, he would definitely be tempted.
The Zhao Family was not like the Su Family. Father Su doted on his daughter, so he would protect Su Xiao. However, the Zhao Family's parents were afraid of getting into trouble. They would definitely not offend Skinny Monkey for Xue 'er. That would be equivalent to sending her life to the hands of that hooligan.
She couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly ran out.
On the other side, Zhao Xueer had already rushed to the village square. She had been delayed for a long time.
The village's grain transport vehicle was parked there. It was a tractor. This was a reward given to the village for being judged as a model by the county.
"Zhao Xueer, what's wrong with you?" The driver of the grain transport vehicle looked at her angrily.
Zhao Xueer hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, Second Uncle Su. Lanzi didn't want to come, so I wasted a little more time."
Hearing that it was Lanzi who delayed the vehicle, Second Uncle Su's expression softened. Lanzi was his niece.
Zhao Xueer stepped on the back of the vehicle. She saw a vehicle full of grain and a few villagers. Among them, He Limin and Sheng Xue were also present. The two of them were going to the county to register today, so they took the grain transport vehicle and went to the market to buy some things.
"Su Lan didn't come?" Sheng Xue asked casually.
"She said that the eggs at home should be saved to nourish her body. Auntie is really good to her." Su Lan couldn't help but sigh.
Sheng Xue looked at her and didn't say anything.
"Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut." The accelerator of the grain transport vehicle sounded. It left the village in a cloud of dust.
The sound of the tractor was loud. Not to mention that the Su Family was close to the square, they could hear it clearly even if they were a little further away.
Zhao Xueer, who was in the car, inadvertently looked up and saw Su Xiao running towards the square. She was stunned: What is she doing here?
At this time, Su Xiao was standing in the square. She looked at the tractor in the distance with a helpless expression. She was still a step too late.
Su Xiao's sharp eyes saw a man and a woman in the back of the car. They were the educated youths who were recruited from the city to the countryside a few years ago. If she remembered correctly, the man was called He Limin, and the woman was called Sheng Xue.
She muttered in her heart: Why are these two going to the market? Then she remembered that the two of them were going to the county to register their marriage today.
When she got home, she was no longer in the mood to eat breakfast slowly. She just casually poured the porridge into her stomach and opened the lid of the pot of pig food.
The Su Family's earthen stove had a total of two burners. One of the burners was specially used to cook pig food. She poured the pig food into the pot and started to cook it.
She had to feed the pig at home.
The pig in her family was still young. It had just been caught for two months, so it couldn't eat too much. Therefore, Su Xiao's work wasn't heavy.
Carrying this bucket of pig food was actually very strenuous. Su Xiao had always been in the army in her previous life. Although she was a doctor, she often participated in training, so her strength was naturally not small. However, she had just been reborn and hadn't trained her body yet. Therefore, she still put in a lot of effort.
The pigsty was in the thatched shed to the west. In addition to the pigsty, it was also the family's toilet.
Nowadays, there were still wooden toilets in the countryside. The wastewater from domestic life was also fertilizer for the crops, so every family was reluctant to waste it. The toilet was behind the pigsty. Every time she went to the toilet, she had to pass by the pigsty first. When Su Xiao had just been reborn, she was used to using the flush toilet. She had long forgotten the scene of going to the toilet. For a while, she wasn't used to it. It took her a long time to find the feeling of going to the toilet.
Seeing her come over, the little pig seemed to know that its rations had arrived. It came over with a "puff puff puff" sound. It raised its head and looked at Su Xiao with its small black eyes. Its small eyes seemed to be saying, "Little Master, quickly give me the food. I'm very hungry."
Su Xiao didn't hesitate. She lifted the wooden bucket and poured the pig food in the bucket into the little pig's food trough.
The little pig began to eat with a "Lu lu lu lu" sound. Its face was full of satisfaction, which made Su Xiao feel very happy.
Looking at the sky, it was already late. She thought that she should go to Santung Tou to cut some Hogweed. She went to the kitchen and took an empty basket. She closed the door and walked out.
Just as she walked to the square, she suddenly heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that it was Zhao Xueer. It was a little strange. Didn't Zhao Xueer go to the market? Why did she come back so soon?
At this time, Zhao Xueer was a little embarrassed. Her clothes were a little tattered, her face was a little red, and her eyes were red and swollen. It seemed that she had cried.
Zhao Xue 'er's heart was filled with hatred for the skinny monkey. That boundless resentment was like a weed that had taken root and spread throughout her body.
Today was supposed to be a happy day. She had accumulated a lot of eggs. She had planned to exchange them for money and pay for her brother's school fees.
She didn't go to the county often. Usually, she went to the town. Today, it was because of her relationship with Lanzi that she was able to hitch a ride on the grain truck. The driver of the grain truck was Lanzi's uncle.
It was originally fine. She was selling eggs when she was stopped by the skinny monkey.
She had seen this skinny monkey once before, but that was in the town. She didn't expect to meet him in the county.
He shamelessly came over. "So it's Xue 'er. Selling eggs?"
When she saw him, Zhao Xueer was so shocked that she almost knocked over the eggs in her hand. She said, "You, why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? I'm the captain of the security team. It's normal for me to be here. Xue 'er, when are you going to marry me? "He came over again.
Zhao Xueer almost screamed. She suppressed the scream that was about to come out of her mouth and said, "Why do you have to pester me?"
"I just want to be with you. Who told you to be the most beautiful girl I've ever seen?"
Zhao Xueer was about to cry in her heart. Was it because she was beautiful that he pestered her?
She screamed, "In our village, I'm not the most beautiful girl. There's no need to talk about the educated youth Sheng Xue. Our village's production captain's daughter, Su Lan, is the flower of our village. She's more than twice as beautiful as me. "
The skinny monkey looked at her suspiciously. He doubted her words. Zhao Xueer was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. How could there be someone more beautiful than her in this world?
Zhao Xueer's heart trembled. She knew that she had to think of a foolproof way to get rid of his pestering.
At this moment, her sharp eyes noticed that Sheng Xue and He Limin were walking in their direction.
He Limin and Sheng Xue were talking and laughing. They couldn't help but feel happy. The two of them had just come out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and received their marriage certificate. From now on, they were legally husband and wife.
Zhao Xueer suddenly said, "That's Sheng Xue."
The skinny monkey lazily glanced in their direction. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
…
Zhao Xueer snapped out of her reverie. She looked at Su Xiao with a complicated expression. She felt that Su Xiao was really lucky. She didn't go to the market today and avoided the skinny monkey.
When she saw Su Xiao looking at her in surprise, she quickly retracted her gaze and hid the unwillingness in her eyes. When she looked up again, her expression was normal.
"Lanzi." Zhao Xueer shouted again, "Are you going to cut Hogweed? I'll go with you. "
