There was very little oil, so it was not difficult to wash the dishes. Xiaoya cleaned the dishes and chopsticks neatly and put them in the wooden cabinet.
Her little hands were swollen from the water. She wiped them twice on her apron to wipe away the water stains.
Suddenly, she remembered the fat woman who came to her house during the day.
Pei Xiaoya's memory has always been very good. She clearly remembers the way she looked at her at that time. How to describe it? It was like the look in my mother's eyes when she saw fat meat, or the only times she went to the market to see various products.
It seemed that in the eyes of that fat woman, she was just a piece of cargo.
Also, my mother's attitude towards that woman was surprisingly good and her attitude was very low.
She shook her head and suppressed the slightest uneasiness in her heart.
It’s impossible for her parents to sell themselves. Life in Pei’s village was normal, but they didn’t sell their children. Moreover, she still remembered that when she was two or three years old, she heard the aunts in the village talking about a sister Wang from the next village. The person really couldn't live any longer, so he was sold to a homeless man by his parents for just a few coins.
She is doing everything she can do at home. She is considered a medium-sized labor force. She is strong and will definitely be able to do more in the future.
Although the family is not very rich, they are not short of these few coins. When her mother goes to work, she will take good care of her brother at home.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
She walked into the main room and saw her parents leaning on the edge of the bed looking at her sleeping brother. The orange oil light was very soft, and her eyes unconsciously filled with envy.
If only, if only she were a boy.
You can go to school to study and learn to read, and you can be held in the palm of your parents' hands.
The sound of her walking in brought the couple back to their senses. Remembering that they would take Xiaoya to the city to meet Mr. Li tomorrow, Pei Dacheng raised his lips, smiled at Xiaoya, and waved.
When Xiaoya saw her father smiling at her, she couldn't help but feel happy. All the vague worries she had before were pushed to the back of her mind, and she ran in front of the couple.
Zhang Hua heard the sound of her running over and glanced at his son. Fortunately, he was not awakened. His eyes suddenly became a little unhappy. He frowned tightly, but then he relaxed when he thought of something.
Xiaoya suddenly saw Zhang Hua's frown, and then realized that the sound she made might wake up Pei Jinbao who was sleeping.
He stopped suddenly, walked slowly in front of them, and whispered to Zhang Hua.
"I'm sorry, mother, I didn't pay attention and disturbed my brother."
Her expression was cautious, and she unconsciously glanced at her mother's face with her peripheral vision. She was relieved when she saw her eyebrows stretched.
Pei Dacheng said to Xiaoya with a smile.
"It's okay. Our little girl is getting better and better. We will go to the market with dad tomorrow. Dad will buy our little girl a red headband."
Xiaoya's little face suddenly showed a smile.
"Really dad?"
"certainly."
"Thank you dad!"
Pei Dacheng touched her head.
"Okay, go to bed now."
Pei Xiaoya nodded and walked out. There were three rooms in their house. The larger one was the main room, with beds, tables and chairs, and was the room for dining and the couple. The two smaller ones were the kitchen. One room was where firewood was piled in the miscellaneous room, and they set up a small bed for Xiaoya there.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hua said.
"Dad, when we get the money, we have to build another room. Otherwise, where will Jinbao sleep when he grows up?"
Pei Dacheng nodded and then put out the oil lamp.
Farmers go to bed early and don't have much activity. They light lamps and don't need any money?
………………
Pei Xiaoya was held by Pei Dacheng's hand and walked in the market.
There were hawking sounds everywhere.
"Candied haws on ice."
"Selling wontons, fragrant wontons!"
"Let's have two steamed buns, they're so authentic!"
"Sir, would you like a bowl of Yangchun noodles?"
Pei Xiaoya moved her little nose and smelled the aroma permeating the air. She couldn't help but lick her lips. It smelled so good.
Before going out, Zhang Hua had already made miscellaneous pancakes for them. How could he waste money on them?
They walked through the bustling streets, and Pei Dacheng fulfilled his promise and bought her a red headband.
Pei Xiaoya laughed so hard that her eyes narrowed.
Pei Dacheng had thick hands, so he asked the lady selling hair ties to tie them up on the spot.
Xiaoya didn't know why she didn't take it back and prick it again, but if she pricked it now, she would be very happy.
The aunt is skillful and tied a beautiful knot. Although the girl's hair quality is not good, she eats well every day and does not have a sallow complexion or withered hair.
The hair is tied together with a red rope. The bright red color symbolizes strong vitality and dilutes the dry and split ends of the hair and the lackluster color.
The aunt took one look and couldn't help but praise.
"What a pretty girl."
Xiaoya's appearance is really good. She is young and a little sallow because she has not eaten anything good, so you can see the good color.
He has a pair of delicate bones and bright black eyes.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and Pei Dacheng's lips were also full of smiles.
And suddenly.
There was a roaring sound from the sky.
They couldn't help but look up and saw layers of clouds filling the air. In Xiaoya's eyes, it was like the clouds in the sky suddenly pressed down.
what's going on.
At this time, something like a ship emerged from the clouds.
Xiaoya has never seen such a majestic creation, the flawless white hull, the tall and towering sails, and the shining inscriptions engraved on the eighteen oars.
On the top of the ship, there were more than a dozen people standing there.
Xiaoya didn't know how to describe them. It was the first time she saw such beautiful brothers and sisters, as well as uncles and aunts.
They were all wearing white splendid clothes with dense golden patterns. Xiaoya couldn't see it very clearly, as if she felt she had seen a real immortal figure. The immortal Taoist priest in the fairy tales she had heard in the past suddenly suddenly There is a mold.
"It's an immortal! It's an immortal!"
I don't know where the sound came from, and then the yin energy came one after another and shouted "The immortal has entered the world."
The people who were still standing in a dense crowd suddenly knelt down.
He kept saluting to the immortal.
Pei Dacheng also knelt down suddenly, his eyes showing piety, but when he saw his girl staring naked at the immortal, he felt anxious and pulled her down to kneel on the ground.
"Silly girl, what are you doing? Why don't you bow to the immortal and bless our family with good weather in the coming year?"
Pei Xiaoya finally came to her senses and lowered her eyes. .
Pei Dacheng ignored her and continued to pray.
She secretly looked at it again and couldn't help it.
That sister was also a girl. She stood in the clouds and mist. Her white clothes made her skin as white as snow. She looked like a fairy she had never seen before.
There was an astonishing light in her eyes, and she took a deep breath. The sounds coming and going were extremely complicated, but she could clearly hear the thumping sound.
Her heartbeat was beating so fast that it was scary. She looked closely at the gold embroidery on the white dress and refused to take her eyes away.
She really wanted to be that person.
