country bumpkin

Sun Limei obediently followed her father to wash her face and feet. Only after she was cleaned up did she go to her bedroom to sleep. Yunya stayed by her sister's side the whole time, without saying a word.

Kong Xiujuan was still thinking of asking her properly tomorrow what exactly happened.

The couple saw that the children were all asleep, so they went back to their room to sleep as well.

Yunya lay in bed unable to sleep, chatting quietly with her sister.

"Sister, where did you go today? I haven't seen you since we started playing the game. Did something happen to you?"

Sun Limei whispered, "I'm telling you, but don't tell Mom and Dad. This is my secret. Otherwise, I won't tell you anymore."

Yunya was extremely curious and quickly asked, "What exactly happened? Sister, please tell me!"

Sun Limei crawled over and lay down next to Yun Ya, saying, "Today, Brother Qin Shou gave me a chocolate candy and a big banana. They were so sweet, much better than radishes and vegetables."

Yun Ya's mouth was practically watering as she listened, but she wondered why Brother Qin wouldn't keep such a good thing for himself instead of giving it to her sister.

She asked, "Sister, why is he so good to you?"

Yunya was eager to know the answer and didn't consider the potential harm. After all, she was only six years old, and would only be seven after her birthday. She wouldn't know the dangers of the world.

Sun Limei savored the soft, sweet taste of the banana and said, "He was just playing a little game with me, like house. He just told me to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, or he wouldn't give me any treats next time."

Yunya became even more curious: "Sister, what kind of game can't everyone play together, and why do you have to keep it a secret?"

Sun Limei thought for a moment and said, "He told me to pretend to be a patient and he would pretend to be a doctor and give me an injection."

Yunya was startled. "Ah, a shot? That must hurt so much! This game isn't fun, it's too scary."

Sun Limei said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt. The injection doesn't hurt at all. It's not a real injection, it's just a pretense. He just wipes my buttocks and arms with cotton balls, it feels cool and quite comfortable."

Yunya was relieved. "Oh, just wiping with cotton balls? That's more like it. If he's really getting a shot, don't play this game with him."

Sun Limei's eyes darted around seductively, "Little sister, do you want some chocolate and bananas? He said if I bring other girls to play games with him, he'll give me more chocolate. You'll get some treats too."

Yun Ya thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure, it's just playing games, right? I'm not afraid! You've already played them all, so we can play together."

The two sisters agreed to go find Qin Shou together tomorrow and play "house".

They got sleepy and fell asleep while talking.

The next day was Sunday, so the two sisters slept in. Sun Limei usually gets up at 10 am on weekends, while Yunya gets up at 7 am.

Because the two chatted until very late last night, Yunya woke up very late today as well. However, she still woke up an hour earlier than Sun Limei.

Because it was the weekend, Kong Xiujuan didn't bother them, and they didn't have to wait for breakfast. They could eat whenever they woke up.

They didn't plan to go out today; the two of them ate dinner and did their homework at home. For the first time, Yunya felt much closer to her sister; they now shared a secret.

They had finished their homework by noon. Then Sun Fei and Gu Yu came to play with them, and the four girls played jump rope in the yard.

Sun Guoqiang sat on a small stool in the yard, playing with Yunya's "Smurfs" plush toy.

While watching the older girls jump rope, I tried to learn the lyrics they sang.

"Little ball, kick it with your foot, Malan blooms 21,..."

This nursery rhyme is deeply etched in the childhood memories of children in this era.

Sunlight streamed into the courtyard, illuminating the children's bright and cheerful faces, and their laughter echoed throughout the yard.

After playing for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Sun Limei quietly pulled Yunya aside and reminded her about going to play games with Qinshou that night.

Yunya nodded excitedly, her heart filled with anticipation for the chocolate and bananas.

That evening, the two sisters sneaked out of the house when their parents weren't looking. Moonlight streamed into the alley, and they walked towards their agreed meeting place, feeling both nervous and expectant.

After a few steps, they arrived at the agreed-upon place. This was a weedy vegetable garden north of Yunya's main room. No one came at night, except during the day when people came to water and pick vegetables.

As soon as he walked over, he saw Qin Shou waiting there. As soon as he saw them, he smiled and took out two chocolates.

Yunya eagerly took it and put it in her mouth; the sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth.

Qin Shou still suggested playing "house" again. Although Yun Ya was still a little scared, she mustered up her courage and cooperated with her sister when she thought of the delicious food.

However, just as the game was halfway through, Sun Guoqiang's voice suddenly came from afar: "Sister, Mom and Dad are looking for you!"

It turned out that Sun Guoqiang had discovered his sisters were missing and quickly told their parents. The two sisters panicked and, without thinking about Qin Shou, hurriedly followed Sun Guoqiang home.

Qin Shou, having failed, returned dejectedly to his makeshift wooden bed and went to sleep.

He lay in bed thinking about how he would continue to fool those two little girls tomorrow. Anyway, they were still young and didn't remember anything, so no one would believe the bad things he had done if he told anyone.

Thinking about this plan, he drifted off to sleep and had a wonderful dream: he dreamt of marrying a wife.

Yun Ya and Sun Limei escaped a disaster today. They had no idea that this was a bad thing, nor did they understand what the consequences would be.

It wasn't until Yunya was almost an adult and vaguely recalled the incident that she realized she had committed indecent assault.

There are so many children in this era, especially in families that favor sons over daughters, which makes it impossible to protect girls. Many girls are persecuted by bad people when they are young.

Some children may even suffer severe psychological trauma that they never recover from.

The two sisters kept this a secret from their mother. Yunya didn't tell her mother because she thought her mother would think she was making things up and wouldn't believe her.

Sun Limei didn't tell her mother because she wanted to eat those delicious treats. Her mother never bought bananas or chocolates at home.

When relatives came to visit and brought some treats, my mother would take some to make up a gift before visiting another family. Occasionally, she would save a little for herself, but it was always for my younger brother; there was never any for her.

Sun Limei also felt that since she had agreed with Brother Qin to keep it a secret, she should keep her word and not lie.

And Brother Qinshou even gave them delicious food. It wasn't a big deal; it was just playing games. What could be wrong with that?

When they got home, the two sisters only said that they had gone out to play at a classmate's house, that it was nothing, and that they went together and wouldn't get lost.

Kong Xiujuan didn't ask any further questions, assuming the children were just having too much fun and had forgotten the time.

It was getting late, and Kong Xiujuan started urging them to go to bed, as tomorrow was Monday and they had to get up early for school.

The three children obediently went to sleep, and Kong Xiujuan also made her bed and went to sleep.
