Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

Yang Qingqing and the others originally wanted to call Ma Yinping and Ma Jianfang, brother and sister.

But Ma Yinping was busy, so only Ma Jianfang went with them to the river.

Yang Qingqing led her scouts to the riverside, found a deserted place, and went fishing.

Yang Qingqing had never seen a river before. Where she lived, there was at most a canal. There would be water in the summer when it rained, but the water would be almost gone in the winter.

She had never stayed by such a wild river when she traveled before, but always went to scenic spots or historical sites. She had never paid attention to such places.

This was her first time standing by a wild river that was almost ten meters wide without any warning or protective measures.

She found it particularly novel, probably because there was less pollution at this time of year.

The water is clear, the grass is green, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, there is a gentle breeze in my ears, and the yellow wild flowers are swaying.

It's all so beautiful

Yang Qingqing felt this moment and wanted to take her phone or camera to record the scenery at this moment.

But Wenjie in her arms reminded her that now was not the time.

Wenxuan, Wenyuan and a few other kids have rushed to the river, taken off their shoes, rolled up their pants, and prepared to go into the water.

"Auntie, will you join us? The water is not cold at all, it's fun."

Wen Jing did not follow, but followed Yang Qingqing, watching Yang Qingqing

"I'm not going. I'll take care of Wenjie. You go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Yang Qingqing pushed Wen Jing and asked her to play with Wen Xuan and the others.

"Aunt, I have something to tell you...I don't want Wenxuan and the others to know."

Wen Jing lowered her head, so I couldn't see her expression, but I could hear her hesitation and struggle.

"You said, I promise not to tell anyone except me and Wenjie"

Yang Qingqing looked at Wenjie in her arms. He was struggling to go to the river to play, but Yang Qingqing felt that he was too young and was worried, so she kept holding him.

"Okay, we can go sit over there by the stone and listen to me while you coax Wenjie, okay?"

Wen Jing looked at a large rock in the woods by the river. It was a good place to see the river, sit down and rest, and talk without being heard by Wen Xuan.

"Okay, let's go! If you have anything to say, just say it! We are a family, don't worry too much, we all treat you as a relative."

Yang Qingqing carried Wenjie to the stone, put him down, picked a bunch of dogtail grass and wild flowers for him, and let him sit on the stone to play.

Yang Qingqing and Wen Jing watched Wenjie play, and no one spoke for a while.

Wen Jing doesn't know what to say

Yang Qingqing is waiting for Wen Jing to speak

After a while, maybe ten minutes or half an hour, Wen Jing said

"Aunt, I don't know how to say it so that you can understand"

“I don’t just want to help you share some things”

“Some of them are my own problems.”

"I asked Sister Yinping before, there are not many families with the surname Liu in the surrounding villages, and there is no one in Majiawan."

“I don’t want to go through the same thing again.”

Wen Jing was particularly calm and indifferent when she said this again

But Yang Qingqing heard the pain and unwillingness to face it. For a moment, Yang Qingqing didn't understand and asked

"Your last name is Liu. Does it conflict with your schooling? And what have you experienced in the past?"

Yang Qingqing recalled the original owner's memories, trying to find something she might have overlooked, but she found nothing.

“Actually, it shouldn’t be considered as my experience, but it was experienced by my best friend.

My aunt knew my background, and it was no secret in my previous school. Before I met her, my classmates would subconsciously stay away from me.

I can feel that they have no ill intentions, they just don't want to interact with me more, but there is nothing wrong with normal conversations. I always thought it was a problem with my personality and didn't take it seriously. Although I didn't make very good friends, I wasn't targeted either.

But it was not until she transferred to this school that I realized that I was not targeted because my father was a regiment commander and my mother was a military doctor.

Just because her last name was different from my family's, my classmates thought she was adopted like me. And her parents were not as high-ranking as my father, so she was always laughed at by her classmates.

I realized that there was not always good things around me. So I am especially grateful to my parents for adopting me, and to my aunt for treating me like a family member.

But when I think about what happened before, I don’t want to go to school. I like to study, but I don’t want to… I can study at home.”

When Yang Qingqing heard Wen Jing's words, she suddenly understood her concerns, took her hand, hugged her and said

"I understand what you said. I can only say that everyone has different ideas, and their small actions, which may not be malicious, may cause harm to others.

We cannot blame others, we can only make ourselves stronger and better. A person's life belongs only to herself, and it is up to her to decide what kind of person she wants to be.

This is what I'm going to tell you, but what I can probably help you with now is to reduce these problems.

All I can think of now is to help you change your last name Liu to the same as mine.

But if you don't want to, just ignore what I said.

After all, this is because your eldest brother wants you to remember that the person who loves you most in this world is your biological father. His surname is Liu, and you should remember his existence.

He is a hero. Maybe others will forget him, but you should remember him.

But since you are going through some unhappy things now, how about this? When you register for school, we will use Yang Wenjing. When you grow up, you can decide whether to change it back, okay?

This will not only not go against the intentions of your elder brother and sister-in-law, but will also allow you to live and study better. What do you think?

I remember that most of the villagers probably don’t know about you, so let’s just not tell anyone. If someone asks, we’ll explain it. If no one asks, we’ll just leave it that way.

Just keep calling me Yang Wenjing. Have you ever told Yinping and the others who are close to you about your life story?"

Yang Qingqing thought about what Wen Jing said. Although there was no specific description, she could guess that it was probably school bullying, but not serious.

After all, those who are bullied in school are usually weak and have no background.

This era may not be so serious, after all, at that time everyone was proud of being a poor and lower-middle peasant.

But there are still some strong people with backgrounds who bully others.

All Yang Qingqing could think of was to help Wen Jing change what could be changed, after all, she had come to a new place.

Do what she can to make Wen Jing and Wen Xuan have a happy childhood instead of a childhood that needs to be healed in the future.

In fact, Yang Qingqing is sometimes very grateful that she came to this era instead of other times. This allows her and her children to live a better life.

After all, in the future society that is supposed to be more civilized, not to mention school bullying, there is a lot of bullying in society.

"Wen Jing, I know your concerns. Let's wait for my second brother, your second uncle, to come back today, and then we'll go tell him to help you change your last name. What do you think?"

"I'll listen to you, aunt! I know I shouldn't be like this because of what happened in the past."

"Okay, stop talking. I know what you mean. But I am really happy now that you didn't hide it from me, but told me. This gave me a chance to change, instead of regretting it in the future.

Thank you so much. Auntie really understands what you said and what you meant."

At this moment, Ma Jianfang's voice was heard.
