Spring in the south is a tender green on the earth.The weeds are reborn, the treetops are budding, and the buds on the branches are ready to bloom.
Dayuanba Village is dozens of miles away from Yugan County, Raozhou Prefecture.
The water network is dense here, and the number of winding rivers and streams is not clear.
Canoes with bamboo poles and black-sailed boats with water can be seen everywhere on the river. In the paddy fields, farmers with straw hats and oxen have started to plow for a year.
A woman with white hair and messy hair and dark skin came back with a large pig grass on her back. She walked through a small road among the bamboo forest. A dam and several thatched huts were the Du family’s house.
The door opened by the small earth dam is the back door, and the kitchen is the one that goes in.A young lady came up and caught the woman's back.
The woman started nagging immediately. At that time, she was still very quiet. Dad wanted to sell you, and she cried several times after hunger. I am so white and tender that I live well outside, so why do I come back? Look at what life can Lining live in the countryside.
I have been away from home for too long, and it is difficult for my little girl to even listen to the local accent.
She is Du Qianrui. She is now wearing a ill-fitting white-washed dress, but her skin is white and tender, and she looks very unmatched.
It's like a big-name lady's face, but she lives as a village girl.
After hearing this, Du Qianrui asked softly, "I'm not happy when I'm back?"
It's nothing to do if you're hungry. Du’s mother shook her head, but Daddy and Dilang got the money and ran to the county town. All the families are plowing the fields. Daddy Nong doesn’t go back to Qin’s house, what should he eat this year?
After hearing this, Du Qianrui was speechless and had to snatch the pig grass on her back: I'll chop it up.
The clothes she wore were also taken for consideration, so she could only wear her mother's clothes.Although my father and brother were very satisfied with her after taking out the property, my mother was not satisfied...
Just as my mother usually nagged, my father used to go to the nearby market town to gamble and look for boat ladies, and almost had to go home at night. Now he has got the money and has gone to the county town. He has not seen anyone for almost a month and will not come back at night.
At present, rice fields have to be plowed before they can be planted and seedlings must be raised. It is the busy farming period, so my mother is very anxious.
Du Qianrui picked up an old-sharpened hatchet, pillowed with a wooden board, and started chopping the fodder.
Her fingers were wrapped in two pieces of cloth, both of which were scratched by her usual work.
After not working for many years, he has become clumsy and easily injured.
...Almost all the jewelry and all the slightly valuable things brought back were paid to my father for repaying his debts.
Now Du Qianrui only has a green Hetian jade bracelet left, hidden in her underwear and not taken out; this bracelet is really beautiful, and her father takes it very cheaply, so she really can't bear to leave it.
If you have no money, your father may come back to farm, and your mother won’t blame her anymore?Du Qianrui didn't know what would happen, nor did she know what to do.
Ah!She screamed, and saw a hole in the index finger of her left hand, and the blood immediately soaked out and dripped downwards.Du Qianrui was both painful and sad, and tears immediately fell down.
At this time, my mother ran over and stomped her feet and said, "You can do nothing, you are hungry." Nong went out to sweep the yard.
The fingers were cut and bleeding, which was nothing in the eyes of the villagers!Du Qianrui quickly wiped tears with her sleeve, gritted her teeth, took her fingers into her mouth and sucked them and vomited them.
She went to the kitchen silently, picked up the broom and went out.
She couldn't sweep one hand, so she had to hold a broom in both hands. The blood of her fingers that had just been injured had not stopped and soon dyed the grass handle red.
Du Qianrui was in tears, and no one could blame him... After she returned home, she only did some light work. If she couldn't do it well, who else could she blame?
I thought that I was always humiliated by others when I was selling laughter and art in Fuleyuan, which was already miserable.
She has only now realized that she has long been unaccustomed to her family life and it seems that she is good to do a cheap business in the capital, and she doesn't have to sell herself.
...Perhaps, it turns out that we should cherish the good days in the capital.After all, not all women can be musicians in Jiaofangsi and Fuleyuan.
Just like my mother, she used to be a boat girl... she sold herself on a ragged black-sailed boat.He was also humiliated and had to pick up customers, and he couldn't afford it.
Because my mother was a boat girl, she got married in her twenties and gave birth to their siblings one after another.The married man was a client who visited her business many times, and later became Du Qianrui's father.
It’s also a lowly karma. What’s my mother’s life now?
He is just in his early forties and looks like a sixty-year-old.
But my mother had no choice. Among their sisters, some of them were not married and were still picking up customers to survive.
It’s even worse when you get old. Sometimes you can even pick up old customers who cost a few cents a day.
Du Qianrui looked at her mother's fate and fantasized that she was still in the Fule Academy in the capital. She thought that she would probably not be much better than her mother in the next few years.
If you deal with people with sex, what are the remaining ones when they are old and evil?
What talent does it do without a good skin?
If you have a better life, save some money and learn some skills, it is probably good to be like a busty boy in Fuleyuan.
At this moment, she saw that the dogwood beside the yard had sprouted new buds.Although the little red fruit has not grown yet, Du Qianrui also stood there and watched blankly for a long time.
...Dogwood?Is it the kind of short tree with many small red fruits?
A voice in his mind said.The tone of each word and the tone of speaking seemed to be right in her ears, as if she had just murmured in her ears.
Du Qianrui even remembered the spotless white silk lining under the bronze neck.And that thoughtful look, quiet but sharp.
Just then, a metal knock came from outside the bamboo forest, and then someone shouted: Bee candy, handkerchief, hairpin... Dingdang!
Du Qianrui was stunned, her eyes rolling out from the deep bamboo forest path, as if she had passed through a corridor of time, and returned to her childhood years ago, when she was thinking about the age of everything in the peddler's load, and the funny expectation of a peddler taking her away.
...Your thoughts at that time were indeed a bit immature, and the peddler might not be able to help you.
The voice said again.
Du Qianrui's face suddenly showed a bitter smile, and tears were still hanging on the corners of her eyes.
Why?
It didn't take long to get to know each other and parting, but his shadow was deeply imprinted in Du Qianrui's heart, and I'm afraid he will never forget it for a lifetime.
The reason may be that he gave Du Qianrui hope. If there is no expectation, how could he be so disappointed?
……
When night fell, there was a barking of dogs outside and people's voices came faintly.Soon, my mother knocked on Du Qianrui’s door in the main hall, come out soon, Dad Nong is back!
Du Qianrui had to open the door bolt, and with a bean-sized oil lamp, she saw her father bringing back a strange fat man.
The fat man was wearing a robe and a hat. He was probably over forty or fifty years old, and the fat on his face was already a little drooping.
The fat man heard the door ringing and immediately turned his head over, his eyes straightened!
As soon as he arrived at someone else's house, he stared at someone's family. This person was completely rude. But what kind of serious people can a person like my father get?
Du Qianrui was about to close the door, but his father was immediately annoyed and slapped the old square table with a slam. No discipline!Don't come out to pay tribute?
Du Qianrui looked helpless, but at home, how could she disobey her father?She had no choice but to walk out slowly and reluctantly.
This is Manager Li.Dad pointed at the fat man next to him and said with a smile.
The fat man was also laughing and actually wiped his saliva with his sleeve!Seeing this, Du Qianrui felt nauseous and almost retching.
She saw the smile on her father's face suddenly disappearing again, and she was frowning at her.Du Qianrui had no choice but to bend her knees slightly, and she had met Manager Li.It's late, I can't see you, please forgive me.
Yo!Yoho!Manager Li looked very excited, and he was in the capital!Yes, Lao Du Ah, this girl is on the table.I'm very hungry, so I'll give it a price.
What? Du Qianrui was about to turn around and go back to the room, but immediately stood still. She turned around, her body trembling slightly, and her face suddenly pale, Dad, are you going to sell me for the second time?
Before Lao Du could speak, shopkeeper Li said frantically, Miss Du!I must be self-aware, and it is also for my good intentions.Where do you want to marry?I'll make some mud legs in the countryside, and I'll be like your mother in the future!Going back to be a prostitute will not last long.
I'm not a prostitute!Du Qianrui said qi.
In fact, my father's face despised her mother for not having a good life, and insulted her as a prostitute indiscriminately... But my father had no expression on his face.
Du Qianrui suddenly felt that even if she endured her disgust and followed Manager Li, she would not have any good life!
Lao Du said in his voice: Manager Li runs a pawn shop, and the girl is a concubine for him, and she is delicious and delicious.Never dislike it.
No wonder my father knew him. He probably worked as a slightly valuable thing in Manager Li’s shop.
Manager Li immediately took over the conversation, saying that all the girls were in the hungry shop. I followed me and I would give them all the things.
Du Qianrui let out a secret breath. I was a little cold and couldn't hold on anymore, so I asked me to go back to my room to rest.
You need medicine for wind and cold!Manager Li said seriously.
Forget it!Lao Du said, "Go into the house."
Du Qianrui immediately hid in the bedroom separated by a wall and quickly bolted the door.
My father's shout came from outside, "Woman, you can't even get water, bring it quickly!"
Then there was a mother's gurgling voice. She didn't dare to speak too loudly, and she couldn't hear clearly through the wall.
After a while, my father's angry scolding came, and I was hungry to find a good home for my eldest sister! What a big deal, what are you doing in supporting your family?
Then there was the mother's vague voice.Dad said again: I know how much does it cost to plow the field?Isn’t Hungry thinking? Manager Li gave the money, and hungry paid off the debt, and the few left to hire someone.
Du Qianrui plunged on the rough quilt, covered her head in it, and couldn't help crying.
To prevent being heard, she covered her tightly.
Soon she couldn't breathe, so she had to hold back the crying and opened the quilt and breathe.
She sat blankly on the edge of the bed, and the surroundings were pitch black.
These nightmarish days come one after another... She seems to be in trouble all the time, but after being sold this time, such days seem to have no end.
Dayuanba Village is dozens of miles away from Yugan County, Raozhou Prefecture.
