Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 10
Of course Ju Ling is not dumb, she just doesn't like to talk much outside, and she doesn't talk too little when getting along with her family.

It is actually quite easy for children to become good friends. As long as there is no malice, they can get acquainted with each other by just talking and playing.

After the sisters Ju Min found out that Qiao Jue had no ill intentions towards them, they let him sit here and chat with them.

Among the three sisters, Ju Jing talked the most, and she was the first to get acquainted with Qiao Jue.

Through chatting, I know that Qiao Jue is eight years old this year, the same age as Ju Min, but he is already in the fifth grade when school starts.His grandfather was a university professor before retiring, and his parents both worked in the university. He has lived on the university campus since he was a child, much earlier than other children of the same age. Without friends, maybe he is in junior high school now.

His grandfather and old man Sun are old friends, and this time he and his grandfather came to visit old man Sun, and they will stay here for about a month.

Qiao Jue was born and raised in a big city. This is the first time he came to live in the countryside. He was surprised by everything he saw. As soon as he got out of the car, he ran to the river to play. He accidentally stepped on a shoe mud and squatted there to wash his shoes. See, this is what happened next.

When chatting with Ju Jing, Qiao Jue couldn't help but look at Ju Ling and the injury on her knee.

In the end, he couldn't help but reminded: "The little one is injured so badly, do you want to take her to the hospital?"

Ju Jinghun said indifferently: "It's okay, Ding Gaba will be fine."

Qiao Jue didn't understand, and said again: "Why is it all right, the wound is still bleeding."

Ju Jing ran to the vegetable field next to her and grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it on Ju Ling's wound before Qiao Jue stopped her. She even wiped the soil twice with her hands to spread the soil evenly. She turned her head and said proudly to Qiao Jue: " Stop bleeding."

Qiao Jue frowned even deeper, and asked Ju Jing in disapproval: "Are you sure it's really okay?"

After the question, without waiting for Ju Jing to answer, she asked Ju Ling again: "Does it hurt? If it hurts, tell your brother, who will take you to the hospital."

Ju Ling looked down at her knees, shook her head, and said nothing.

"She doesn't speak or cry, isn't she a fool?" Qiao Jue accidentally said what was in his heart.

Ju Min didn't like to hear these words, she raised her head and glared at Qiao Jue: "My little one is smart!"

Speaking of her younger sister, Ju Min talked a lot. Although she didn't know what "repress first and then raise", she was already used to this method when introducing her younger sister at a young age.

She poked her neck and explained: "The little one didn't like to cry since she was a child, and she loved to sleep very much. People in the village said she was a fool, so my parents threw her away and made another one. Let me tell you, the little one is smarter than me. Everyone is smart. She has been able to read since she was two years old, went to school with me, and did well in the final exam!"

Ju Min is not exaggerating, Ju Ling was indeed not sensible like a normal baby when she was a child.He never cried when he threw her into the rocking car, and only hummed a few times when he was hungry.Many people in the village said that the third girl from Ju's family was an idiot, and the village chief's wife and the family surnamed Cao even said it was a shame that they didn't have the child. Who would want to raise an idiot?

Hearing that Ju Ling started reading at a young age, Qiao Jue immediately became interested, and stopped chatting with Ju Min and Ju Jing, and just squatted next to Ju Ling and asked her some simple knowledge that she only came into contact with in the first grade.

Ju Ling knew the answer, but she didn't say it.

After asking a few questions but getting no response, Qiao Jue not only did not lose his patience, but became more interested and asked more vigorously.

Ju Min and Ju Jing looked at him like an idiot, they couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.

Qiao Jue found a pattern, when he asked a little difficult question, Ju Ling would move his right index finger uncomfortably, and when he asked a simple question, she would glance at him.Based on Ju Ling's subtle movements, he can tell whether she will have these problems.

"You are really interesting. I will play with you tomorrow and bring you candy!" Qiao Jue couldn't help but reach out and rub Ju Ling's furry head, and said with a smile.

A child said such words to another child in a coaxing tone. The scene was a bit funny, but both the speaker and the listener took it seriously.

In the evening, when Ju Wenqi and Zhang Yongmei came back, the family sat together for dinner. Ju Jing talked about the new old man Qiao and his grandson in the village.

The grandpa and grandson came from the city, dressed well and stylishly, and brought many things they had never seen before, which attracted many people from the village to the Sun's house to watch.

Speaking of old man Qiao, Ju Wenqi was quite emotional.

He said: "If it wasn't for the protection of the old grandson back then, the old man Qiao might have passed away long ago."

Long story, long story short.

Old man Qiao, whose real name is Qiao Dongcheng, is a cultural person who has stayed abroad, and has been engaged in education work after returning to China.Later, his family suffered a catastrophe. His wife hanged herself because of her grandparent status. The eldest son severed ties with the Qiao family and fled to the south. The youngest son was adopted by a well-meaning colleague.As for him, he came to the countryside in the northeast to open up wasteland and farm.

In the first two years when he first came here, he really suffered a lot. The living conditions were bad and he was always bullied. If old man Sun was kind enough to secretly give him food and clothing, he might have froze to death and starved to death. It's cold.

Later, Qiao Dongcheng was transferred back again, and when he left, some were reluctant and some were apprehensive.What are you worried about?Naturally, he used to bully people a lot in the past, fearing that they would come back and take revenge.

Ju Wenlin is among the anxious people!Back then, Ju Wenlin rushed into Qiao Dongcheng's small shack with a shovel on his shoulder, took away everything that could be taken away, and smashed everything that could not be taken away, which was too much.

There is no grievance or enmity, just seeing that people are easy to bully, and you don’t have to be responsible after bullying. Ju Wenqi always scolds his elder brother when he talks about these things, but he was really not a thing.

"Uncle is not a thing now!" Ju Min, who had been eating sullenly, raised her head and said vigorously.

Zhang Yongmei patted her on the head and scolded: "You can't say yes to your father, he is your uncle."

"Let's live our lives without avoiding them or chasing after them. They just came to see the old grandson, and it has nothing to do with us. We can just leave it at home and chat," Ju Wenqi finally said.

He told the three daughters not to try to curry favor with the grandsons of the Qiao family like others, but he didn't want the eldest grandson of the Qiao family to rush over to play with them by himself, and he actually brought candy to Ju Ling.

Ju Ling only ate hard fruit candies, but what Qiao Jue brought her was milk candy, which was so delicious, she ate one and carefully put the rest into her pocket like a baby.

"Why don't you eat?" Qiao Jue asked curiously.

Ju Ling uncomfortably tugged at the washed and faded skirt, and replied in a low voice, "Give it to my sister."
