Think childish

Zhuang Qiushui was brought into the city overnight by her aunt.

Her mother died, and the village chief kindly took care of her funeral for her, and then drove to the city himself according to the address on the note that her mother gave him before her death.

Although Zhuang Qiushui's father was not found this time, Zhuang Qiushui's aunt was found.

Zhuang Qiushui knelt in front of the dilapidated mourning hall at home and kept filial piety for his mother until the afternoon of the second day when the "aunt from the city" whom he had never seen before came.

She stumbled up and went out amidst the village chief's loud call, and saw a patch of red from a long distance away, but when she got closer, she realized that it was a red and white checked cloth skirt.

My aunt was wearing that bright red dress, her fluffy and curly hair was neatly combed, and she wore a shiny butterfly hairpin behind her ear, and a pair of T-shaped leather shoes on her feet. Sweet fragrance.

It didn't look like they were here to attend a funeral, but rather to greet relatives.

Isn't it just to welcome the relatives?

The village head stood in the yellow muddy yard of her house, smoked a bag of dry tobacco in a bang, and then said to the beautiful woman from the city in distress: "It's really not easy for these girls! Look at this yellow mud house that is half out of shape, it's because there is no man in the house!"

The village chief wanted to say more, but the woman interrupted him with a raised hand: "Village chief, I understand."

As a result, the village head had to die down with all the rhetoric he had brewed.

But he thought, since this woman is willing to follow him, it means that she still has some affection for Qiu Shui, so she won't really just watch her fend for herself like this.

Sure enough, the woman turned around and bent down to ask her, "Are you coming with me?"

The village head stood at the back and winked at her vigorously, for fear that she would say something unappealing out of her mind, which would annoy the woman and ruin her future in vain.

Qiu Shui naturally saw it.

The village chief told her before leaving that if he could really bring someone back this time, let her remember to try her best to pretend to be pitiful, even though she was pitiful in the first place.

The village head also reminded her thousands of times, don't get angry and condemn those who have nothing, it's useless.

However, what the village chief doesn't know is that she wants to leave here more than anyone else. As long as she can leave here, let alone pretending to be pitiful, she can just kneel and kowtow.

Just get out of here.

Zhuang Qiushui grabbed the hem of his clothes nervously with both hands, looking at the woman's clear black pupils, two lines of hot tears rolled out in an instant, his mouth shrunk, and he called out mournfully: "Aunt—"

The woman probably didn't expect her to cry, so she squatted down and took out a white handkerchief from her small black bag to wipe her tears, patted her on the back while wiping, and coaxed: "Okay, okay, Qiushui don't want to cry!" Crying, aunt is here to pick you up, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

The handkerchief was stained with tears and wiped off most of the dirt on Zhuang Qiushui's face, like a lotus flower stained with mud after being washed by clear water and finally revealed its true appearance. The woman's hand holding the handkerchief barely stopped at the side of her face, and she let out a little surprise , muttered: "This little girl looks so handsome! These eyes are carved out of the same mold as your father's!"

After speaking, the more he watched, the more he liked her, and finally even endured Zhuang Qiushui's dirty body and hugged her.

The village chief was obviously also shocked by her "superior performance". Looking at the slanted mud house in front of him and the lonely mourning hall in the middle of the main room, he was deeply moved.

That afternoon, the woman asked the villagers to help her bury Zhuang Qiushui's aunt with money, and then rushed back to the city with Zhuang Qiushui without any delay.

Zhuang Qiushui's aunt was named Zhuang Ci, and Qiushui's father, Zhuang Yao, was her younger brother, separated by her second sister, Zhuang Rou.

The Zhuang family's ancestors can also be regarded as a scholarly family, but it declined in the generation of the Zhuang family's grandfather.But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if it declines, life is still easier than ordinary people, and there are more ways to do things normally.

Zhuang Yao met Zhuang Qiushui's mother when he was "going to the countryside" in his early years. This matter has to be explained from the beginning, but it is just one of the many "crazy men complaining about women", which is very common.

The "resentful girl" has been lonely for half her life, and now she has passed away with the wind; while the "unscrupulous man" still lingers among the flowers. Qiushui has been at her aunt's house for half a month, but she has never seen her father.

A few days later, my aunt caught my father back from nowhere.

It was noon, Zhuang Qiushui was still holding a bowl of rice stuffed into his mouth, and before he could react, Zhuang Yao broke free from his sister's grasp, sat down at the dining table, and scooped a bowl of rice for himself , quietly buried his head in eating.

She managed to swallow the food in her mouth without chewing, and almost choked to death.For a moment, he was a little stunned, wondering if he should call "Father".

Zhuang Ci patted Zhuang Yao on the head, and shouted: "You debt collector! Your daughter is sitting next to you and you don't hug her, just look at her! Poor her who suffered so much in the countryside since she was a child, but she is full of You are a debt collector!"

After hearing this, Zhuang Yao was finally willing to raise his head, glanced at her, put down the bowl, and pretended to hug her.

Qiu Shui shrank back suddenly, Zhuang Yao turned his head and shrugged at his sister, twitching the corner of his mouth mockingly, and said, "See? No one will let me hug at all."

Zhuang Ci became angry when he saw his rascal appearance, and slapped him on the back angrily, and said: "She has never seen you since she was a child, so she is naturally afraid. I have already sent someone to tell you that my daughter You're back, you haven't seen anyone for more than half a month, if I hadn't personally picked you up today, you probably wouldn't want to come back, you—"

"All right, all right! Can you let me finish this bowl of rice first and then criticize me?" Zhuang Yao frowned and rolled his eyes at her, Zhuang Ci was so angry that he couldn't speak, and went into the kitchen out of sight. .

Zhuang Qiushui sat next to his father, with a well-behaved posture.She carefully looked at the man beside her. If someone noticed her eyes at this moment, they would be shocked to find that they really did not look like the eyes of a ten-year-old child!

The gaze cast by those eyes is extremely calm and peaceful, like a sharp surgical scalpel, unseen to peel off the person in front of her inch by inch, revealing the filthy inside for her to explore.

After watching for a while, she seemed to have finally come to some conclusion, she calmly withdrew her examining gaze, lowered her head, and continued to eat.

Zhuang Yao does not have a stable job, or he does not need a stable job.

Originally, Zhuang Qiushui thought that Zhuang Yao abandoned her and his mother to set up a new home in the city, but this was not the case.

Zhuang Yao is now in his thirties, except for the late Zhuang Qiushui's mother, for so many years, he has never married another wife and had children.However, he didn't delay his lavish career. Relying on his uncorrupted appearance, he had a lot of flirtatious affairs outside.

Now that Zhuang Qiushui was brought back, even if Zhuang Yao didn't want to, he still had to assume the responsibility of being a father temporarily.

Zhuang Ci's husband worked in the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and became a deputy director of the same age, so he had some connections, so he asked someone to find Zhuang Yao a job as a boiler worker in the hemp spinning factory.

It's not that he is stingy as a brother-in-law and refuses to find a good job for Zhuang Yao, it's because the whole family knows very well what kind of piss Zhuang Yao is.Although the boiler worker didn't sound very nice, it was an easy job. Besides, there were two workers taking turns in the boiler room. To put it bluntly, Zhuang Yao was just fooling around when he went.

Zhuang Yao originally lived with his elder sister on [-]st and [-]th, and lived with his second sister on [-]th and [-]th. On Sundays, he went to meet one of his little lovers.But now that autumn water is here, it will be inconvenient to live like this.

Zhuang Ci and her husband made a plan, went to the director of the hemp spinning factory with big bags and small bags to ask for favors, and asked Zhuang Yao, father and daughter to live in a dormitory.After the job and residence were settled, the second sister Zhuang Rou paid some money to buy a few pieces of furniture for her useless brother and asked someone to send them over.

The whole family is looking forward to the return of Zhuang Qiushui to make Zhuang Yao, a prodigal son, turn over a new leaf and start a new life, but only Zhuang Qiushui knows that her father is already useless and hopeless.

Qiao Zhi dragged Zhuang Qiushui to turn left and turn right. The more she looked at her, the more she felt more comfortable, so she asked her several questions one after another, such as "How old are you?" "What grade are you in?" "Where do your parents work?"

Hearing that the little girl said that her aunt had passed away, and she was picked up by her aunt not long ago, Qiao Zhi couldn't help sighing, thinking: There is no shortage of suffering in this world.

Qiao Zhi asked her to wait where she was, while she quickly ran into the house, opened the cloth bag, and grabbed a handful of toffee from the innermost interlayer.

These toffees were given to her by Luo Hai yesterday, two yuan a catty of big white rabbits, and Luo Hai stuffed a big bag into her bag.

Qiao Zhi took two steps out and then backed away, opened the bag, shook half of it in, counted, and there were five left.

After struggling for a few seconds, she picked up one hesitantly and stuffed it into the bag, stuffing half of her face with pain, and quickly retracted her hand.

"Here, here's this for you." Qiao Zhi held a handful of candy and handed it to Zhuang Qiushui, but she was thinking in her heart, if Xie Xiaoqing saw this, she would scold her bloody and forget her friends!

What if you forget your friends after seeing sex?

Qiao Zhi happily passed her hand in front of her eyes again: "Go on!"

Zhuang Qiushui grew up to be ten years old. He only saw this kind of candy once in a while on the black-and-white TV at the village head's house. He immediately took it with both hands, but was shocked by the extravagant life of the city people.

Qiao Zhi seemed to have glimpsed her inner thoughts, and took the opportunity to pinch her soft face again, pretending to sigh and said: "These are all the family property I have accumulated for many years, and now I give it all to you, so eat it well oh!"

If Xie Xiaoqing or someone else heard these words, they would definitely not believe it.Because everyone who knows her knows that Miss Qiao Zhiqiao has a rich brother who does business in the street. Although her daily life is not as luxurious as the princess in the book, there is never such a thing as snacks. missing.

Qiao Zhi himself felt shameless when he said "accumulated for many years".

But Zhuang Qiushui believed it.

She was not someone who could trust anyone easily, but firstly, because the expression on Qiao Zhi's face was too sincere, and secondly, because she didn't know much about city life, she really thought that this "big white rabbit milk candy" was worthless. It is better than the food used by the empress in the palace in the old days, so I can't help but feel anxious. I don't understand why the person in front of me will give her such a big benefit for nothing?

"Because you are good-looking!" Qiao Zhi saw through her thoughts for the second time.

So Zhuang Qiushui accepted the toffee with peace of mind, and made a silent note in his heart - good-looking can be exchanged for candy.
