Chapter 49

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Xiao Hua looked at a strange woman.

"Xiao Hua, do you still collect bamboo shoots? Our whole family went to my mother's house a few days ago, and I just came back and heard that you collect bamboo shoots. I want to know, do you still collect bamboo shoots today?"

"Auntie, I won't accept it for these two days, thank you for your hard work."

"This... this... Then what did I do to dig this morning? It's all money!" The woman was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.

"Auntie, you can take it home and cook it." Xiaohua directly suggested.

"Why do we country people eat this expensive food? It costs a few cents a catty."

"Auntie, I will let you know after a few days." Xiao Hua didn't want to say too much, she was also very principled in wasting her beauty sleep time on this.

The two talked in the yard for a long time, and finally the woman left with red eyes anxiously. Before she left, she looked aggrieved, which made Xiaohua feel really helpless.

At this moment, Xiaohua couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she just sat on the little twig in the yard, looking at everything around her, and became dazed.It has been almost two months since I came to this strange world, and I seem to be able to adapt slowly.The life of this family is too hard, and everything is not going well.Sometimes she would think that she might just die, the life was too painful, she always felt powerless, a feeling of aggrieved stuffed in her chest, and she couldn't breathe under the pressure.

I'm only 8 years old now, when will I grow up?When will this home be ready?What is the outside world like?What is this dynasty?What is the country code?Who will be the emperor?All of this is unknown.She can only nest in a small ravine, worrying and fighting for firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea every day.

She is also very confused about what the future will be like. She thinks about having enough food, clothing, and a good house.She didn't want to worry about these things, but reality didn't allow it.In the yard, the sweet potato has not been moved yet, except for the sun-dried bamboo shoots, it is still empty.The house was as dilapidated as it could be.

Look at the clothes on your body and the shoes on your feet.Looking at her dry hair again, she stretched out her hands and saw that she was extremely malnourished. Even though she had been in this strange world for so long, she still didn’t know what she looked like. She said she could take photos with water, but she really didn’t have the courage. I'm afraid that if I can't think about it, what will my family do.Thinking of grandma, mother and brother again, Xiaohua sighed deeply, this life is really not human.Why is this happening?

Looking up at the bright sunshine, why can't it shine into the gray corner of her heart?Why do I have a feeling of desolation and panic in my heart?Xiao Hua vigorously wiped her face with her hands, as if only in this way could she give her the strength to persevere.

Looking up at the dilapidated house again, Uncle Wang originally said to cut some pine branches and put them on the bed, but these two days also followed the digging of bamboo shoots, so it was delayed first.After all, it is important to make money first, and branches can be cut and spread at any time.

Xiaohua has never believed in fate. She feels that everyone's fate depends on herself and can be changed through hard work.

She doesn't want to continue living like this anymore, it's too bitter, and she feels tortured every day.When will she be able to flourish?
But there is no way, she can't be like the heroine written by other people's time-travel novels, who can reach the sky in one step, and can earn tens of taels, hundreds of taels, and thousands of taels at every turn.She can only take it one step at a time.

The language barrier makes it difficult to go anywhere, and she may be deceived in whatever she does, so she dare not do it boldly.During this period of time, although I looked for people to write dialects of various places everywhere, the effect was not good, and there were only a few sentences, because the people who could teach her had limited time.

But now she is a little bit convinced, otherwise why would she come to this strange world in such a good way?Both Jingniang and Ruan said that everything is fate, no matter whether you are rich or poor, everything is fate, and you can't control it at all.

For the words of her grandmother and mother, Xiaohua doesn't believe it. Apart from letting her come to this strange world, maybe there is something waiting for her.But it is absolutely impossible for her to live in such poverty.

The future is created by her. She believes that she can create a miracle. Of course, this miracle may be for this Chengjiakeng, this Shuiwan Town, or this Qingzhou City.

"Xiaohua, what are you doing here? Where's your mother?" Just as Xiaohua was thinking about something, Wang Changgui and Wang Ronghua came carrying a pile of pine branches.

"Uncle Wang, Brother Ronghua, are you here? Please take a seat quickly, my mother is resting in the room right now, please wait a moment." After speaking, he ran into the room staring.

"Mother, Uncle Wang and Brother Ronghua are here to lay the roof for us, wake up soon." Xiaohua pushed Jingniang, trying to wake her up.

"Um, I'm awake, don't shake it, it makes me dizzy." After Jingniang had a rest, the girl shook her awake, making her dizzy.

"Mother, hurry up, Uncle Wang and the others are in the yard, they seem to be here to lay the roof for us." Xiao Hua explained to Jing Niang.

As soon as Jingniang walked into the yard, she heard Wang Changgui say to her, "Mother Xiaohua, I put the pine branches away first, and Ronghua and I will go home first and drag the remaining pine branches over."

"Okay, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Jing Niang expressed gratitude.

"Hey, they belong to neighbors, so don't be polite." Wang Changgui rubbed his hands honestly and replied.

"Yeah, auntie, don't be too polite. My mother has already said that from now on, your family's affairs will be my family's affairs. It is only natural to help us. If you are polite to us, my mother will be unhappy later. .” The handsome young man Wang Ronghua said with a cheerful smile.

Seeing Wang Changgui and his son walking home, Jing Niang said to Xiao Hua: "Xiao Hua, you watch at home first, mother will go find your grandma and Xiao Zhuzi, and come back from your cousin's house to borrow a ladder."

"Okay, mother, don't worry, I will definitely watch over it." Xiao Hua promised.

Looking at these pine branches, Xiaohua thought of lying in the yard with her father when she was a child, saying that the lychees were pine cones, and then she smiled foolishly by herself.

At this time, Wang Changgui and Wang Ronghua came to deliver pine branches for the second time, and Xiaohua asked, "Uncle Wang, is Xiaocao at home?"

"Here, she is learning embroidery recently, Xiaohua, you are not young anymore, it's time to learn." Wang Ronghua replied quickly, secretly enjoying himself when it was over.He thought of his little sister, who was screaming after being pricked by needles these days, and thought it was funny.

"Oh, okay, then I'll go see her when I have time." Learning to sew?forget it.In modern times, this guy can't even sew a button well, let alone anything else.Everything in the house was always sewed by my younger sister. Even after she got married and her husband's buttons fell off, he sewed it himself.
