Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 12
All the adults and children in the yard felt that Qiao Jue's words were too mysterious. If he was bitten by a dog, he would die.

Dabao's mother smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, my Dabao has been bitten by dogs several times, and he is living well. There are many dogs in our village, and I have never seen anyone who was bitten by a dog and died."

No matter how Qiao Jue explained these people said it was all right, even the Ju Min sisters felt that it was not as serious as he said.Qiao Jue was so anxious that he didn't tell them at all, and ran to Sun's house to find Qiao Dongcheng.

Qiao Dongcheng's words are better than Qiao Jue's. The old man said that he would take Ju Ling to the township hospital for injections, but Dabao's parents didn't dare to say anything.

The township health center did not have rabies vaccines, so Qiao Dongcheng took Ju Ling and Qiao Jue to the county hospital, where they cleaned up the wounds and gave them rabies vaccines.

There was no car back to the village that day, so they could only stay in the county town for one night.

Qiao Dongcheng opened a standard room with two single beds in the guest house. He slept in a bed, and Qiao Jue and Ju Ling slept in a bed.

It was the first time for Ju Ling to sleep outside with someone who was not a family member, and she was not used to it. She was obviously very sleepy, but she still refused to sleep.

In the dark, Qiao Jue seemed to notice her restlessness, clumsily hugged her into his arms, and softly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, little one, Brother Qiao will protect you. Tell me who will bully you in the future, and I will beat them for you." .”

I don't know if Qiao Jue's words had an effect or if Ju Ling couldn't bear the drowsiness, she fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Back in the village the next day, Zhang Yongmei deliberately waited at home and didn't go anywhere. She said "thank you" to Qiao Dongcheng and Qiao Jue many times in a row, and insisted on keeping the grandpa and grandson at home for dinner.

The rabies vaccine required several injections, and it would cost a lot of money to go to the county seat for the fare and accommodation plus the injections. This money must not be paid by Ju’s family alone, after all, it was Dabao who let the dogs bite.

Although Dabao's parents were unhappy in their hearts, they were wronged and gave some of the money.

Zhang Yongmei took Ju Ling for the second and third injections. There were still several days before the fourth injection. Zhang Yongmei went to help Ju Wenqi with work first. During the day, the family was dominated by three children.

When Qiao Jue said that he wanted to protect Ju Ling, he really did what he said.Don't look at him as thin and fair, and he doesn't look like he can fight, but he is quite fierce when he fights.

After beating up Ju Tangcheng, Dabao and several other children who were more provocative, finally no one dared to trouble the three sisters of the Ju family.

Qiao Dongcheng knew that his grandson was always fighting these days, so he didn't care. In his words: "It's good for a boy to be tough. He can protect himself and the people he cares about. Qiao Jue is a well-measured child, and he won't fight even if he fights." Something happened."

It really made him talk, Qiao Jue can win every fight, but he has never really hurt anyone, let alone any parent to settle accounts with him.

The three sisters of the Ju family all admired him for this, and asked for advice on fighting skills in their spare time.

Qiao Jue concluded: "The most important thing in a fight is not how many times you punch and kick others, but to crush the opponent in terms of momentum, so that the opponent will feel terrified when they look at you, and dare not make a real move."

It's easy to say, but Ju Min and Ju Jing couldn't learn how to overwhelm him with arrogance. In Ju Jing's words: "If it's troublesome, just hit it back with a big stick and see who dares to come."

For many years to come, the sisters of the Ju family have always adhered to the principle that if people do not offend me, I will not offend others. If people offend me, I will beat them back.But sometimes, whether you suffer or not is not determined by whether you have a big stick in your hand.

In a blink of an eye, Qiao Jue has been in the village for more than 20 days, and he will go home with Qiao Dongcheng in a few days.

Although the living conditions in the village are poor, people don't pay much attention to hygiene, almost no one has the habit of brushing their teeth, and they always make fun of his bald head, but Qiao Jue is really reluctant to leave here and the people here, especially Ju Ling.

He told Ju Ling that he was leaving, but the little girl just looked up at him, showing no sign of reluctance.

Qiao Jue was very disappointed.Ju Ling is not yet four years old, and many memories will not last long. Maybe she won't remember him soon after he left.As for him, thanks to his super strong memory, he may remember this silly and special little girl for many years in the future or even his whole life.

"Can you write letters?" Qiao Jue asked Ju Ling.

Ju Ling shook her head. In fact, she didn't know how to write many words, and she didn't even know what a letter was.

Qiao Jue patiently taught her how to write a letter and how to mail it. Fearing that she would not have money to buy envelope stamps, Tete went to the post office in the village to buy a large stack of envelope stamps.

On the day of leaving, the three sisters of the Ju family all went to see him off. Ju Ling stood behind the two sisters and poked her head to look at him, but did not come forward to say a few words.

Qiao Jue sighed, this little heartless bastard, he was about to leave without even saying "goodbye".

He took the initiative to walk up to Ju Ling and looked down at her: "I wrote you a letter and want to reply to me, it doesn't matter if the writing is not good, you can also draw pictures for me."

Ju Ling looked up at him, and after a while he couldn't hold back a word: "Aren't you coming?"

Before she could answer, Qiao Jue was carried into the car by Qiao Dongcheng, and they had no chance to speak again.

Qiao Jue's departure has no impact on the Ju family.

School starts in September, and Ju Min is in the second grade of elementary school. Ju Ling still goes to class with Ju Min every day, and Ju Jing takes care of the crazy grandma at home.

During the autumn harvest, the school had a one-week farming holiday, and the three sisters of the Ju family followed Ju Wenqi and his wife to the fields to harvest the autumn.Such a young child was so tired that he groaned in sleep every day. Ju Wenqi and his wife were very distressed and asked them not to stay at home. The three of Ju Min were still not happy and insisted on going to the field.

Ju Jing also said to Ju Wenqi and his wife: "Let's do it together and don't ask for help."

Children speak directly and to the point.

What the Ju family is most afraid of is asking for help.

So in recent years, Ju Wenqi and his wife have never asked for help for things they can do by themselves, even if they can spend money to hire someone they can't do, they will never ask for help.If you have to beg for help, beg for neighbors, beg for people with a decent relationship, you can not beg for relatives, and you must not beg for relatives.

With the help of the three children, the autumn harvest is indeed faster.When Ju Min's busy farming holiday ended, almost all the crops at home were harvested.

This year's harvest is good. After paying the public grain and selling the grain, plus the money earned from selling pigs and carpenters, the family already has a savings.

At night, Ju Wenqi and his wife held a small meeting with flashlights.

"Several families in our village have changed to color TVs. Our family doesn't even have a black and white TV. Although the three children don't say anything, I know they all want to watch TV. Or, let's buy a TV," Zhang Yongmei suggested.

Ju Wenqi counted the money carelessly, and sighed: "The three children have suffered a lot with us. They have nothing to eat or wear, and they never say what they want. In the past, it was fine if the family had no conditions. This year, the conditions are better, so we are tight." Come on, kid."

This means agreeing to buy a TV.

On the other side of the sliding door, the three sisters all opened their big bright eyes and parted their mouths and secretly laughed.

　Thank you for your support, thank you for voting and favorites, thank you.
