Hard work

Chapter 81 Relatives

Lanhua'er finished the clothes of Gaihua and Goudan, and made some shoe uppers and insoles. Half a month has passed.

When Shuanzi came down twice in the middle, Lan Huaer showed him the half-made clothes at home, saying that she really didn't have the time to go to the mountain to help.

Shuanzi looked at the clothes, but he didn't insist that Lan Huaer go up the mountain.

It's just that when I came down for the second time, I brought some game and food, saying that I wanted to eat at Lan Hua'er as an excuse.

Lan Hua'er looked at the things he brought down, they didn't seem to be the weight of a person at all, so she knew that it was Honghuabai or someone else who wanted to help her.

She is also familiar with Honghuabai now, and the family is really not very good, so she took over the things.

Naturally, the food is not as carefully prepared as on the mountain, but it is also refreshing.A loofah fried with garlic, even Yan Dalang couldn't help but eat more - he didn't like vegetables very much before, and he always looked like he would be good as long as there was meat.

However, Lan Hua'er was not in a hurry to go up the mountain, but Yan Dalang was in a hurry.

Before Shuanzi went down the mountain for the third time, Yan Dalang took the initiative to find Lan Huaer and asked her about going up the mountain.

Lan Huaer thought for a while and said:

"It's going to rain heavily recently. There are not many people in the fields, and the mountain roads are not easy to walk. It will take some time to really go."

It has indeed rained for several days in a row recently, and there was also a lot of thunder.

Yan Dalang thought about it, but he didn't insist on going to the mountain, and went to eat in silence.

Lan Hua'er couldn't help wanting to gossip.

Yan Dalang had followed her to the cottage before, but he never cared much about the affairs of the cottage, nor would he take the initiative to go there unless he wanted to pick her up.I don't know what happened this time, but I can't forget the cottage.

But before Lan Huaer went to gossip about Yan Dalang, the Zhao family welcomed an unexpected guest.

On the day the guests came, Lan Huaer was at home all day.Feed the chickens, pick up the eggs, and pull out some chili leaves to make a soup.I also wondered if there would be a place at the back of the house to feed the pigs.

Not trying to make a lot of money, at least the family can have more meat to eat.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone shouting from outside the fence, "Hua'er~~~".

That wavy line is really not an illusion, Lan Hua'er felt that the man's voice was trembling in the air.

She shook the goose bumps on her body, and then agreed.

Outside the door is a woman with a very face, leading two little children behind her.In the past few years, Lan Hua'er has often followed Gaihua to pay New Year's greetings, and she often walks in the fields in front of the village. She knows all the people in Aozi Village, and she has never seen this woman before.

This woman is doing well.

The reason why she was born well is because she gave birth to a huge butt.Regardless of other things, just like this, in the eyes of the villagers, she is a good and fertile woman.

The woman's hair is neatly combed, not messy at all.With a square handkerchief on the back of her head and some red powder on her face, she looks more refined than the ordinary women in Aozi Village, and her clothes are more elegant.It's a pity that she has phoenix eyes and high cheekbones, making her eyes narrowed.The nose is not high, and it collapses on the face.Coupled with a big mouth, it makes people feel a little awkward.

It was the first time for Lan Hua'er to see someone with such a personality who wanted to dress up, and she almost froze on the spot.

Fortunately, I still had some instinctive reactions in my body, so I walked over and asked:
"Ma'am, who are you looking for?"

The woman glanced at Lan Hua'er, and suddenly a ferocious expression appeared on her face, and she cried out mournfully, "Hua'er~".

Lan Hua'er shuddered from her fright in broad daylight.With great difficulty, she could see a trace of forced sadness from her ferocious expression, so she didn't directly knock the door on her face.

She was quite sure that she had never seen this person before, and this woman did not give her a good feeling. It reminded her of the howling look of Tao Pozi when Hong Huabai and Mai Qing were at her house. appearance.

As for the two little children, they seemed to have gotten used to the woman's wailing, they didn't seem too flustered, they just stared at the situation in the yard with wide eyes.

"Hua'er, I'm your aunt. I hugged you two years ago, don't you remember?"

She had traveled through time two years ago, so she had never seen such an aunt before.

Lan Hua'er looked puzzled at the woman who claimed to be her aunt.

After the woman squeezed out a ferocious look, the expression on her face calmed down again, she stretched her neck and looked straight into the yard.When I saw Caigui, I was fine, but when I saw the chicken coop, my eyes lit up, and when I saw the new clothes that had just been washed and hung out next to me, my eyes brightened even more.

Lan Hua'er sneered in her heart.

This is the person who is going to come to fight the autumn wind.I don't know where the woman heard that the Zhao family's environment is better, or some other reason, so she dared to come to the door with her child to cheat food, drink or even money.

She wondered if it was her aunt or not.Seeing that this woman dared to yell so loudly, she might really be her aunt.It's just that she has traveled here for such a long time, even before she traveled here, the Lan Hua'er who starved to death in front of Goudan had never seen this aunt.

If there were relatives to help, the Zhao family would not be what it was back then.

Lan Hua'er gritted her teeth secretly, her face was still calm, and she showed a timid expression, saying:
"Ma'am, you've got the wrong person. I don't have an aunt. Are you looking for someone called Hua'er? There are people called Xinghua Taohua in the village, and they all live in the front. Go over there and look for it."

The woman was startled, she probably didn't expect Lan Hua'er to say such words.He could only take back his bright eyes, put on a smile, held the door that Lan Huaer wanted to close with one hand, and said:

"Hey, you little kid, why don't you recognize people after the Chinese New Year? You got a big piece of candy at our house back then. I didn't even want to let Ahu and Abao eat it, so I gave it to you Now that the days are better, you can’t remember your aunt anymore?”

Lan Hua'er's head started to hurt when she heard it.

But she was very sure that she had never seen this woman before, this woman had never been to Aozi Village all these years, and Gaihua had never mentioned this aunt, so even if there were such relatives, they must be very distant.Maybe it was their mother who came to borrow money back then and was kicked out.

She just refused to admit it, and finally said that she hadn't seen her in ten years and couldn't remember it at all.Who can say what.

Thinking of this, she made up her mind, and timidly hid behind the door, shaking her head blindly:

"I really don't have an aunt. My elder brother said that the Zhao family has no relatives, so don't look forward to asking people for help. You can only survive by yourself. If someone comes from somewhere and says they are our relatives, Those who help us are well-intentioned, and we can't randomly take things from others."

This is indeed what Gaihua said.It's just that Gaihua didn't imply that someone would come to cheat for food and drink.At that time, the environment of the Zhao family was not good, and people from the village often came to the door, saying that the Zhao family used to have something to do with him, and they wanted to send some food to help.

At that time, Gaihua was stronger than now, and he was not willing to let the family accept those favors, otherwise he might not have to go to the town to do part-time work.

Lan Hua'er said this again now, but it was a little different.It seems that she is secretly saying that this aunt is a fake, and she is going to come to deceive people.

The woman really jumped up, pointing at the orchid and yelling:

"Where is it that you don't know how to respect your elders? It's your own aunt, and you insist on pushing it out. What are you thinking? My aunt has worked so hard for half a day to come here, and the door is not allowed to enter, and the water is not allowed to drink. One bite, but wiped his face and refused to recognize anyone. Hey, where did our Zhao family come from such a shameless little hoof, he is really a good girl taught by Liu Yanyan."

Liu Yanyan is the name of Lanhuaer's grandmother.

Although Lan Hua'er has never seen this aunt, but it is the person who wrote it on the tablet of her own family, and also the person who gave birth to Lan Hua'er's body, how can she be happy when others talk about it like this, Immediately also pulled down the complexion.

"I don't know where your aunt came from. The current head of the Zhao family is called Zhao Gaihua. I have been in charge for so many years, and I have never seen a relative come to the door. Now you only pick when our head is away, saying that it is a relative of the Zhao family I haven't seen it before, how do I know? My house has been visited by thieves before, so I don't know if there is anyone else. If you misidentify the door, ma'am, you should look elsewhere. You can go to Aozi Village and ask Ask, where does the Zhao family have any relatives?"

The woman made a big commotion before, and there were already people watching the commotion beside her, but they were embarrassed to come forward.

It's not that Lan Hua'er can't see those people, but she can't drive them away. It's the road in the village, so why not let people go.

The woman spoke so harshly that Lan Hua'er herself held back her tears, her little face was flushed, and her voice also raised.It's just that the woman's voice is shrill, while Lan Hua'er's voice is soft and childlike, with a crying tone, a little hoarse, and people can't help but feel sympathy in their hearts.

Some village women who were hiding nearby couldn't help but sighed sympathetically, and whispered:

"The Zhao family has really had a bad time these years, and we can't blame the child for being unhappy. This is a fake aunt, and she is just a liar. If it is a real aunt, why has there been no news. A little help At all, it's not like living in such a miserable and frightening way. It's a poor baby."
