vines and melons

Chapter 6

The 18-year-old female college has become more and more beautiful, and Guizhi has grown into a dignified and beautiful girl.Since she was a child, she has imperceptibly influenced her father's habit of being clean and particular. She tried to dress herself cleanly and neatly. She didn't have soap locusts at home, so she went to the wilderness to pick up soap locusts and boiled water to wash her hair. The hair she washed was jet-black. Liang, if she had no money to buy toothpaste, she went to the bottom of the salt shaker, pinched some salt foam and sprinkled it on the toothbrush to brush her teeth. She brushed her neat teeth like white pomegranates, and she sewed every patch on her clothes like Ornaments, if you throw her into the crowd, she will always be the most conspicuous.

At that time, the 18-year-old girl was at the age of marriage, and the matchmaker came to propose marriage to Guizhi. The matchmaker almost broke the threshold, and there was no one for Guizhi.Mother's life has really affected her. In her perception, a woman who pokes coal at home will be angry with men and will not be respected.She said to her relatives and friends: Please pay attention to her, I can do any job, I don’t pick, I don’t pick it up, it doesn’t matter if I’m dirty or tired, but, contrary to my wishes, I didn’t find any job, so she has been in the house of her parents all the time. Dangling under the eyelids, both parents felt that she was an eyesore. When the father saw her cast a contemptuous glance, the mother scolded: My heart is higher than the sky, and my life is thinner than paper!Niang pointed out that Xiang Guizhi's relatives could sit at three tables (to entertain guests) and couldn't finish them all!She even scolded and said, "Pick it up today, pick it up tomorrow, pick up a blind nose and bad eyes!" The mother's scolding was like throwing salt flour on her wound, and the pain was unbearable.The girl's mind will never be understood.One day, Gui Zhi was woken up by her mother scolding her, she wanted to find a man to take her to a distant place or find her a job, she said in her heart that she would focus on this aspect when going on a blind date.

From spring to autumn, the jujube trees and pomegranate trees in the courtyard bloomed and produced several seasons of fruit. She didn't care to look at the flowers or eat the fruit. People confide.Before the eldest sister went out, the two sisters often talked. Gui Zhi felt a little wider. The eldest sister was married, and no one would talk to her. Said, after all, men and women are different, let's tell Osmanthus, she is young and doesn't understand.Later, Gui Zhi fell ill, feeling sluggish, weak, chest tight, and having a headache. She thought it was a fever, and she had no money to see a doctor. Put the fiery red fire moss into a bowl of cold water, and after the stinging sound died down, she held up the bowl and raised her head to gulp, gulp, gulp, and drank it in three or five gulps. After drinking it for three days, I didn’t see any lightening. One side method didn’t work and another side method was used. However, this side method cost a little money. Put ginger, onion, and brown sugar in a pot to boil water and drink it. I still drank it for three days, but it still didn’t work. Every day, she was wilting like a frost-beaten eggplant, and she worked hard. That day, her mother called her to get up and go to the field, but she hummed and tried a few times but couldn't get up.

On the third day after Gui Zhi fell ill, Feng Nian, who worked in the commune, hurried back to deliver a letter saying: The county fertilizer factory is recruiting two female workers, and the exam is due the day after tomorrow.

She sat up immediately upon hearing the sound, and immediately entered a state of excitement from the decadent, yelling to ask Fengnian to find a book for her to read.

Feng Nian looked at the second sister with a sallow face and a haggard face full of sadness. He never thought that she would be so ill after not seeing her for a week. Still have a little fever.

Guizhi said disapprovingly, "It's okay, I got angry."

Fengnian knew that the second sister was in such a state that she couldn't take the exam at all!Not allowing the second sister to say anything, she hurried out of the kiln gate, put on a shelf car and wanted to take the second sister to Fangjiagou to find a famous doctor Fang Wannian to see a doctor.
