Chapter 3 Elopement Man
Thinking of the two despised children, she subconsciously accelerated her pace and walked to the end of the alley to see the children who were sticking to cicadas.
The group of children were all black, some were naked, some were wearing vests and pants, and most were barefoot. Two of them were conspicuous, and they looked six or seven years old, with white and tender skin and beautiful appearance.
Jiang Lin didn't say anything, standing not far away to look at them carefully. Not to mention that she was a little similar to her childhood photos, this feeling was very magical.
The two children look very similar, but the difference is not small. Cheng Dabao, who is taller, pursed his lips and looked serious, while Cheng Xiaobao, who is shorter, smiled innocently and happily.
When Cheng Xiaobao saw her, he immediately smiled brighter, "Mom!"
Cheng Dabao stared at Jiang Lin with a cautious look on his face.
Don’t look at him as young as he is smart, because the family is not good and the situation is subtle. My husband often teaches him a lot, and he is more sensible than older children.
He didn't get close to his mother. In his feelings, she didn't treat them as her own children, and she didn't love them as much as other women. Since he knew about it, he only remembered her dislike, so he didn't like to get close to her.
He felt that his younger brother was stupid, and every time he saw her, he would smile like a silly roe deer. She was so fond of Xiaobao that she came up for a while, and when she was upset, she would turn her back and scold her. If she was in a bad mood, she would beat her up a few times.
Xiaobao was sad for a while, and turned around and forgot. He would go up next time, and he would like to remember to eat or beat him.
He had obviously been scolded, but he forgot!
This morning she said she would take him and Xiaobao back to the city to visit her sick grandparents. He didn't want to follow her at all, but the aunt said it was okay and promised to go home at most a month before he and Xiaobao went out with her.
They took a tractor halfway and did not enter the county town, but came to this village. She sent them here to see where they were clinging to cicadas, but she got into a family.
My grandparents said that their grandparents were in the provincial capital, and they were definitely not in the countryside. What was she going to do? He had been staring at them since she entered that house. Now that Jiang Lin came out of the alley, he felt something was wrong.
She never looked at them indirectly, why did she stare at herself now? Although she was not kissing her, she did not have the disgust and impatientness she used to be.
In the words of Mr. Mr., something abnormal will cause trouble.
Cheng Xiaobao cried a few times because he wanted to follow the Zhao family and was slapped by the disgust. He had forgotten now and ran over happily as soon as he saw Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin almost turned around and ran away because someone called her mother a slut, and she saw a pink ball running towards her. Her short legs were not so straight, so she was afraid that he would fall and hurriedly reached out to follow him.
Cheng Xiaobao saw her reaching out but thought she wanted to hit him. He was so scared that he immediately covered his eyes, but ended up stuttering under his feet and falling to the ground.
Jiang Lin: "..." The difference between the two brothers looks a bit big.
She quickly helped Cheng Xiaobao up and patted the soil on her body, "Did you knock it?"
Listening to her gentle and concerned voice, Cheng Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and his smile was sweet and beautiful, "It doesn't hurt at all! I don't cry, I don't mind!"
Jiang Lin's heart suffocated, for him and herself.
Such a sensible child is actually despised. But thinking about it is, I was naughty when I was a child, and I have become sensible all of a sudden since my parents divorced.
Thinking that she likes to be a mother, it’s simply terrifying. She smiled bitterly: “Don’t dislike it. Let’s go home.” She led Cheng Xiaobao’s little hand and went to hold Cheng Dabao again.
Cheng Dabao avoided and looked at her with a cautious look on his face. His black eyes were filled with surprise: She was so gentle, it was impossible!
Jiang Lin looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you go and see grandparents?"
Jiang Lin looked at him. Cheng Xiaobao didn't know anything, but he was a little slut. He couldn't even go to the house even if he sold it.
She deliberately teased him, "It's better to sell you two." Instead of rumoring others in the future, she would be better to joke first.
Cheng Dabao's face changed and he immediately snatched Cheng Xiaobao back and stared at her angrily.
Cheng Xiaobao laughed, looking like a silly roe deer. He probably helped count the money after being sold.
Jiang Lin smiled, "You are too fierce, I don't want it, and the baby is too expensive and I can't afford it. So, there is no way, I can only go home first." She spread her hands, looking helpless.
"Haha," Cheng Xiaobao rushed over and hugged her legs, and smiled with his white and tender little face, "Mom, how expensive am I?"
Jiang Lin pinched his nose: "It's ten thousand yuan, but I can't afford it."
He naturally doesn't understand how much it is, but it's very expensive anyway. Cheng Xiaobao pointed at his brother, "Where is the big treasure?"
Jiang Lin snorted lightly and glanced at Cheng Dabao, "He is so fierce, no one dares to buy it, so he will beat the other person's pot."
When she said this, Cheng Xiaobao only thought she was joking. The adults in the countryside often said that they would give you to, or whose family you sent you to, and the children didn't take it seriously.
Seeing Jiang Lin like that, Cheng Dabao breathed a sigh of relief. If she really sold them, she wouldn't say that.
In fact, Jiang Lin wanted to leave quietly, but her household registration was in Shuihuai Village, without a long-term letter of introduction, and she didn't have enough money and food. She couldn't make it. She couldn't live without her identity, nor could she ignore her two children. She would rather go home first.
Their family is Shuihuai Village next to Hongqi Commune, and the buyer is a big car shop - a village below the Chengzu Commune of Shangtang County. It has been a while now, and they hurried to the county and can take a ride back.
The local economic conditions are much better than before. Many communes have tractors and trucks are also coming and going in the county. If the members go out to do business, they can also take a ride.
Seeing that Cheng Xiaobao was a little shorter than his brother, she picked him up.
This time it was not only Cheng Dabao, but Cheng Xiaobao was shocked.
My mother actually hugged him!
So happy!!!
When he was excited, he was so impatient that he opened his arms and hugged Jiang Lin's neck, and rubbed it in her neck.
Jiang Lin: "..." She looks like a waiter.
Cheng Dabao followed Jiang Lin and observed her carefully. She actually laughed at them and walked with Xiao Baoer in her arms! The sun came out from the west! She didn't know how much she disliked them before.
Her educated youth friend always said that they were stains, and he didn't understand what stains were, and it was not a good word anyway.
Jiang Lin didn't know that Cheng Dabao was so thoughtful. She walked in front with Cheng Xiaobao in her arms and looked back at Dabao from time to time. Cheng Dabao was a taller than Xiaobao and walked very quickly, but she didn't make a sound.
After leaving the village, Jiang Lin looked up and suddenly became confused.
She looked up at the sun in the sky, her mind was confused. Why was the sun hanging in the north? Reason told her that the villages were facing south at this time, and the sun must be south in broad daylight, but she felt in her consciousness that it was the north, and she couldn't say that it was confused and uncomfortable.
Is it a sequelae of time travel?
She is famously blind and dares not drive out at night. She once walked into the wrong community on a rainy night and couldn't find her own home! No one else was crying by herself.
Based on her physical memory, she knew that the county town was going west, but she subconsciously walked east towards the bright sun.
Cheng Dabao was a little confused when he watched her turn around like a fool at the intersection, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Lin: "Go to the county town to take a ride."
When Cheng Dabao came with the car in the morning, he heard the driver talk about the county town. He pointed to the other side and said, "Go to that!"
Jiang Lin:...I'm not as good as you? Then she raised her foot and walked in the direction that Cheng Dabao pointed.
The cart shop is not far from the county town, and a carriage to buy fertilizers on the road is saved.
When the supply and marketing cooperative arrived, Jiang Lin's dizziness and nausea had already disappeared. She took her children to thank and say goodbye to the others, and then went to find a car to Hongqi Commune. At this time, many villages and communes came to buy fertilizers. As long as they went in that direction, they could take a ride.
After asking, the carriages were not in the same direction at this moment, so she decided to wait. It happened that there was a state-owned hotel next to the supply and marketing cooperative. I didn’t see the hotel and it was nothing. When I saw Jiang Lin’s stomach, I snored.
She asked Cheng Xiaobao: "Are you hungry?"
Cheng Xiaobao chewed his fingers and shook his head: "Don't be hungry." My mother was so nice to him today. As long as she was nice to him, he would not be hungry at all, even though her stomach was rumbled.
At this time, the country people were almost unable to go to the restaurant, but Jiang Lin didn't want to be hungry. She had to suppress herself!
Cheng Dabao looked resentful, "You can't go to a restaurant!" He heard the adults bragging in the village, and if he had money, he would go to the city to go to the restaurant. His family had no money, so why would he go to the restaurant? He would make a fortune!
Although Jiang Lin is also frugal, she has never been so hard after all. After all, modern materials are abundant, and you can make money if you are willing to work. Besides, Mrs. Zhao can give you a few dollars and have a meal, which is enough to keep you from shocking!
The state-owned hotel has a small storefront. In Jiang Lin's opinion, it is really a palm-sized land. It has no decoration at all. There are white and gray walls and mud floors, and there are several oily and black tables and stools. There is a small blackboard hanging at the entrance of the hotel with several menus written on it, serving noodle soup, steamed buns, and buns.
Jiang Lin led the two children in. There was a woman in blue work clothes and a greasy white apron inside. She was sitting and napping on the wall, her eyes didn't open, and she said impatiently: "It's past mealtime, there's no food."
At this time, those who can work in state-owned units, whether they are salesmen of supply and marketing cooperatives or hotels, are all popular, but they think they are superior to others.
After receiving the memory, Jiang Lin understood the situation at this time. She put Xiaobao on the stool, asked Dabao to sit down, then walked towards the woman, and smiled and said, "It's summer, we don't bother the food, we can buy two steamed buns. Look, both children are hungry."
No matter when, women are always more patient and sympathetic to such dolls like pink balls.
The woman opened her eyes and saw that she was beautiful, with fair and delicate skin. She wore a white short-sleeved shirt on her upper body, blue pants on her lower body, and brand new cloth shoes on her feet. She didn't look like a country woman, but looked like a city man.
The woman immediately smiled and said, "I'll give you a bowl of noodle soup."
Jiang Lin: "Then let's go...three buns."
She originally wanted to say two things, but she thought about eating once and getting full.
At this time, when you have to eat in a restaurant, you not only have to pay for food coupons, but also have to pay for it. To put it bluntly, it is a high-priced meal.
Three big buns cost a total of three taels, nine cents, and a bowl of noodle soup cost two taels and six cents. They also gave them a plate of pickles.
Cheng Xiaobao was always stupid and happy. His mother didn't dislike him, but she hugged him and bought him delicious food. It was as beautiful as dreams.
Cheng Dabao was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Unfortunately, he couldn't figure it out and no one discussed it, so he could only hold it in his own hands.
The green vegetables and tofu buns, the lard mixed in them tastes delicious, and the noodles are yellowed, but compared to the bran noodles eaten in the countryside, corn flour is naturally very good.
A handful of shrimp skins and a few vegetables were placed in the noodle soup. They were fresh and refreshing, and they were full of heat relief.
Jiang Lin had just come over and this kind of meal was not attractive to her, but she was hungry and there was nothing to be picky about. When the two children were full, she would eat all the noodles and even the soup.
It smells so good!
Seeing that Cheng Dabao was holding a bun in his hand and didn't eat it, she said, "If you don't eat it, you will give it to me."
Cheng Dabao put it back and said, "Take it back and give it to the nurse."
Jiang Lin: "..." I can't tell that you are very filial.
Suddenly, a young man came in outside and reached out to pull Jiang Lin's arm. He spoke anxiously and dissatisfied: "Linlin, why didn't you go to find me? What's wrong with these two children?"
The author has something to say: Cheng Xiaobao: I am not a silly roe deer. I keep laughing at my mother. I will love me one day. Look, it’s successful.
Cheng Dabao: Stupid~~~Roy deer~
