16. Best friend
Chen Yifan no longer continued this topic.

"We are leaving. We will leave Nan County tomorrow. I will give you a satisfactory answer to the poisoning of grandma. If there is a result of your work, someone will notify you."

"Thank you!" Apart from these pale words, Zhao Xiaoling had no other words that could better express her heart.

Doctor Niu and Luo Daqing left the house and came this way.

"Xiao Ling, we have to leave quickly. If we don't leave, we will be in the dark. You take care of your grandma. I prescribed some medicine for her. She will recover after a few days of rest."

"If you have something to rush back, I won't keep you anymore. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I will repay you when I have a chance in the future."

Doctor Niu said with a "puchi" smile: "You little girl, you are smart and capable, and you can say that your grandma didn't raise you for nothing. I want to adopt one of you too!"

"Doctor Niu, don't be joking. People in the village say that people like me are bastards. During the earthquake, I was the only one left in the family of five. I went early too, this time grandma almost..."

Dr. Niu waved his hand, "Don't listen to their nonsense, the people in Zhaojiagou are just dull and backward, you are an educated person, don't be influenced by them."

Luo Daqing said: "They just envy you because you are promising and you are different from them."

Chen Yifan took out a lot of money from his body, and the largest denomination of money at that time was only ten yuan.

Chen Yifan said: "This is not much money, it's only more than 100 yuan! You can keep it."

Luo Daqing also took out his middle pocket, and said shamelessly: "I came back this time and gave all the money to my family."

Zhao Xiaoling shook her head and said, "No, since I plan not to go to school, I have time and ways to earn money."

Zhao Xiaoling has the experience of her previous life and knows how to make money, so she won't be overwhelmed by poverty like before.

Chen Yifan stubbornly forced the money into Zhao Xiaoling's hands.His hands were broad and warm, with thin calluses.

"Just take it, don't bury you here because of money."

Chen Yifan's words were unquestionable, Zhao Xiaoling no longer insisted, "Well, I borrowed from you."

She really needs money at this moment, she and grandma are poor, and at this time the country has not yet fully implemented reform and opening up, and it is not very convenient to do business. Sometimes poverty can make people stupid, short-sighted, and make wrong judgments .It is a living tragedy for grandma to eat that bowl of rice noodles even if it is poisonous.With the money, she can do what she wants, and when she has money in the future, she can return it to him.

Zhao Xiaoling sent Dr. Niu and Luo Daqing to the entrance of the village, and watched their backs disappear into the woods. When she turned her head, there were many children standing behind her.

No outsider came to the village for many years, and occasionally one came, and the children were very curious, chasing after them like watching gorillas.

Zhao Xiaoling waved at them as she walked back, "He's gone, let's go back!"

Some children surrounded Zhao Xiaoling curiously and asked, "Sister Xiaoling, how do you know such a person?"

"What kind of person?"

"Such an outsider?"

"Sister Xiaoling goes to school outside, so it's not surprising to know such an outsider." Another child said.

"Miss Xiaoling, you are so amazing that you actually know such a powerful outsider."

"Miss Xiaoling, are the people outside so powerful?"

The children chattered around Zhao Xiaoling. The children were all the same when they were young. The reason why they grew up so different was because of the different education they received and what they saw and heard. These children don’t go to school and stay here all their lives. It’s true. It's a pity that they are all human beings, and their fate is different from that of children outside the mountains because of their ancestors' concepts and living environment.

"You should go to school. After you go to school, you will meet many amazing people, and you will become amazing yourself. There is a more exciting world outside Zhaojiagou, with more interesting people and things."

Many of these children, from five to six to eight or nine years old, have never left Zhaojiagou.

"Really? Miss Xiaoling, tell us, there are some interesting people and things outside." The children looked up at Zhao Xiaoling with their innocent and lovely faces.

In her previous life, Zhao Xiaoling had an introverted and dull personality, and she had never communicated with these children like this. It turned out that these children were as smart and cute as the children outside, but their lives were too closed, and she felt heartbroken for these children.

"You go back and tell your parents that you want to be successful when you grow up, and you want to live a different life outside Zhaojiagou, so you have to go to school. When you arrive at school, the teacher will tell you that outside How wonderful the world is."

At the door of the house, Zhao Xiaoling was about to go home, but the children held her hand tightly, "Sister Xiaoling, tell us something!"

"My grandma is sick. I have to go back to take care of her. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?"

After Zhao Xiaoling was reborn this morning, in order to come back to save her grandma, she has been in a hurry. After coming back, she faced a series of unexpected incidents. She has not had time to think about what to do next, and the family There are still a few rabbits and pheasants that she needs to deal with, and she can only get rid of these children temporarily.

The children all went to play in other places. Zhao Xiaoling entered the house and was about to close the door, but Zhao Shufen ran over from a distance and said, "Xiaoling, wait a minute, don't close the door. I came here specially to find you."

In the previous life, Zhao Shufen was Zhao Xiaoling's only best friend in the village, but after Zhao Xiaoling's grandmother passed away, in order to take care of her as an orphan in the commune, she was also a high school student, so she was given a place to work in the county iron and steel factory. Zhao Dabao, his father, took it apart privately, so the place to work in the steel factory was also replaced by Zhao Shufen.

In the face of interests, friendship is nothing.

Zhao Xiaoling said coldly: "Xiaofen, what's the matter?"

Zhao Shufen didn't seem to notice Zhao Xiaoling's obvious indifference and unwelcome, she pushed open the door of Zhao Xiaoling's house familiarly.

"Let's talk at home."

As he said that, he entered Zhao Xiaoling's house by himself, and even moved a small Dengzi to sit in the yard.

Zhao Xiaoling had to get those hares and pheasants out before dark, sprinkle with salt, and hang them to dry.

She was busy with herself.

"Xiao Ling, you are really good at it. You can hunt wild animals every week when you come back. Although your family has no money, you still eat a lot of meat."

"Hmm!" Zhao Xiaoling perfunctory Zhao Shufen while busy with her hands. "Xiaoling, where's your grandma? Are you all right now?"

 Thank you Mu Erer and Mr. Hao for your blessed reward!Keep asking for votes!
