Rebirth of Fortune Talisman

Chapter 58 Meeting Relatives (Monthly Pass 100 Plus Changes)

Xiahe Village is located in Hebei Province, not far from Yanjing City. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, it was at the intersection of Yan and Zhao. Since ancient times, it has been regarded as an important route for military strategists.

There are many mountains in the north of Xiahe Village, but Xiahe Village is flat and flat. The land here is fertile, with mountains in the north and a big river in the south. The scenery is not bad.

It's just that it's a mountain village. Generally speaking, the development is lagging behind, the transportation is inconvenient, and people still retain many good and bad ancient customs.

There is a river in the south of Xiahe Village, and this river has no name. People in the village call it Dahe.

It was noon now, every family had eaten, the children went out to play, and the women in the family took their clothes and took advantage of the lunch break to gather by the river to wash clothes.

A lot of girls and daughters-in-law gathered together to talk and laugh, and they didn't feel too hard, so the laundry was finished.

Among the people doing laundry was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. She was wearing a white floral gown, student blue trousers, and black square shoes made of corduroy.

Although the clothes were old-fashioned, this woman tidied them up very neatly.

She was talking and laughing with people while doing laundry.

The second daughter-in-law of the Wang family, surnamed Jin and named Chunhua, was squatting next to her to wash clothes.

Jin Chunhua washed a piece of clothing and put it in the basin, turned her head and saw Shen Baozhu sitting on the bank of the river pursing her lips and grinning, she curled her lips and said to the middle-aged woman who was busy with laundry: "Aunt Ji, your family is really nice." I'm too used to my daughter, your precious pearl is thirteen, and you don't do anything, just wipe your mouth after eating and act as a shopkeeper, that's not okay, how can such a lazy girl find a husband's house in the future?"

Aunt Ji's surname is Ji Mingqin, she is Shen Baozhu's mother.

She looked back at Shen Baozhu, feeling a little dissatisfied, but in front of outsiders, she still defended Shen Baozhu: "Chunhua, Baozhu is different from others, isn't she still in school, plus she studies well and knows how to work hard. Work hard, her father and I thought that if she could go to university and live in the city in the future, she wouldn’t have to work hard every day like us. So, we didn’t ask her to do anything, but to study. "

"Cut." Jin Chunhua cocked her mouth: "That's why she appreciates it. You see, she hasn't read a book yet, and she's just sitting there in a daze. What else is my daughter doing, if it were me, I would have slapped her away long ago."

Ji Qin smiled and didn't answer any more, just washed her clothes in silence.

After she finished washing the clothes, she called Shen Baozhu: "Baozhu, come here and help mother carry the clothes back."

Ji Qin washed a large basin of clothes. The clothes were fine when they were dry, but there was not much weight in them, but they became heavier when they were wet. Ji Qin couldn't do it alone, so she had to ask Shen Baozhu to help.

When Shen Baozhu heard this, she stood up weakly, went to Ji Qin and bent down, trying to feed her breasts without lifting the basin, her eyes were red and she looked up, with a look of grievance: "Mother , I can't lift it, I'll go home and ask my brother to go..."

When Ji Qin heard this, she became anxious, and frowned: "I can't lift such a small thing, and I still call you big brother. Your big brother is already in the third year of high school, and he will take the college entrance examination next year. Don't delay his study."

While talking, Ji Qin used all her strength to lift the basin up.

Because the basin was too heavy, Ji Qin couldn't walk a few steps no matter how hard she tried, so she had to take a few steps to put the basin down for a rest, then picked it up and walked, just moving home little by little.

And Shen Baozhu just followed Ji Qin like this, without any intention of helping.

Ji Qin worked hard by herself, and she didn't ask Shen Baozhu for help, but her frown and tightly pursed lips repeatedly showed that she was in a bad mood, and she was angry with Shen Baozhu.

The women washing clothes by the river expressed sympathy for Ji Qin when they saw this scene.

Especially Jin Chunhua, whispering to the other women next to her: "Aunt Ji really spoiled my daughter, I see, she will suffer in the future."

"It's not that Aunt Ji is used to Shen Baozhu." Someone who knew something inside explained to Jin Chunhua in a low voice: "It turns out that Aunt Ji gave birth to three boys, and the fourth child gave birth to Baozhu. It's strange that Baozhu has not been close to Aunt Ji since she was a child, and because Aunt Ji didn't sit up well during confinement and didn't have much milk. , even if Baozhu doesn’t get close to her, she can’t bear it.”

Another person said: "Later, Baozhu grows up and becomes more delicate and weak. People cry before they say anything. It's okay if it's in a rich family, but it's troublesome if it's in our farmer's family. Who will be patient?" There is no way for this kind of girl who just cries and doesn’t do any work, for the sake of Shen Baozhu’s future, Aunt Ji has no choice but to grit her teeth and let her study, thinking that she will be able to jump out of the farm and work in the city in the future.”

"Aunt Ji is not easy." Looking at Ji Qin's tired bent waist, Jin Chunhua sighed.

And at this time, a silver-gray car drove past on the road into the village by the river.

The women by the river were amazed when they saw the car: "God, did this come to our village? Could it be the county magistrate going to the countryside?"

Jin Chunhua was a bit knowledgeable, she laughed: "What county magistrate, the county magistrate can't afford such a good car, and I don't know which high-ranking official has come to our remote village."

"Look at the high officials, look at the high officials..."

A group of children shouted and chased after him.

The women didn't bother to wash their clothes anymore, they all packed up their clothes and followed them.

In the early 80s, there was no TV or movies in the countryside, and the spiritual life of the rural people was very poor. Whenever there was something new in the village, it could make people bite their tongues in the first half of the year.

If someone loses a chicken or a dog dies, it will spread throughout the village.

Not to mention seeing this kind of high-end car entering the village, it didn't take long for almost all the idlers in the village to run behind the car.

In the car, Song De and Fang Fang were talking quietly.

Fang Fang asked Song De: "Can't be more wrong, is this the village?"

Song De nodded: "I asked the comrades in the village today, and this village is right."

Song Linxian, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, looked at the familiar small mountain village in a daze, and his mind was full of many things about living here in his previous life.

There is a picture of following Ji Qin to wash clothes by the river, there is a picture of following the second brother up the mountain to catch pheasants and beating rabbits, and there is a picture of following the third brother to pick jujubes and wild grapes.

What she can't forget the most is that Ji Qin saves food and money to buy her clothes from the market to make clothes, and eats anything delicious first.

Although the grandma of the Shen family was a little displeased, she would give her something delicious when she had something delicious, and she would say things that she didn't like, that it was not good, that it was too hard to chew, and so on.

Many pictures flashed in front of Song Linxian.

She took a deep breath to gather herself and looked out of the car window. Seeing this, she almost shed tears.

She could never forget the figure on the roadside carrying the basin with all her strength, and she would still know Shen Baozhu following that person even if it turned into ashes.

"parking."

Song Linxian suddenly called out.

The driver was taken aback, but stopped the car quickly.

"Linxian, what are you doing?" Fang Fang was a little displeased.

Song Linxian ignored her, opened the door and got out of the car, walked to Ji Qin's side in a few steps, and stretched out his hands to help Ji Qin lift the basin: "Let me help you."
