C13 What a Sad Child
Xiao Hu answered with an "oh" as if he understood something. Then, he stopped talking. It seemed that he was still digesting Lu Xinfei's words.
"Alright, Xiao Hu, put on this clothes …" Lu Xinfei finally found an unpatched shirt and personally helped Xiao Hu put it on.
Lu Xinfei's house also didn't have any cosmetics, so she washed her face for a long time. It felt like she rubbed off a layer of skin, but she still felt like she didn't wash it clean.
The reason for that was because there were too many dark spots on the original body's face.
Ever since she came here, Lu Xinfei had washed her face with vinegar and salt every day. It was not vinegar, it was old vinegar that he fermented himself. This kind of vinegar had extremely high acidity.
But after a full two months of washing, there was no change in the color of her skin, so she began to wonder if the beauty books of 2015 were really going to work.
Lu Xinfei herself did not have any good clothes, but Lu Xinfei still hugged the cripple inside of her and found a good shirt for herself to wear. However, she felt that the shirt was too big, so she changed it herself and changed it to a fitting version.
Lu Xinfei herself had long hair, especially long hair, and her hair was so long that it even reached her waist. It seemed as though this noble one cared deeply about his long hair, and was unwilling to cut it off.
Lu Xinfei had no intention of missing her hair. She let go of her braid and put her hands behind her head, slightly upwards, purposely making her hair loose and uneven. Then she went to Zhang Yan and asked her to cut it with scissors according to Lu Xinfei's instructions.
In any case, it had been raining for the past few days, so there was not much work to be done in the fields. Lu Xinfei thought that Zhang Yan's business would not be a problem so she came to ask for help.
After she finished cutting her hair, Lu Xinfei washed it with cold water at Zhang Yan's house. She let Zhang Yan take out a haircut and cut it for her.
Lu Xinfei had tied up her hair in a ponytail, while the hair at the bottom of her head was let loose. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she had found a lady.
"Mom is so beautiful." Xiao Hu had been curiously walking around Lu Xinfei. When Lu Xinfei had finished her work, he praised her from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Hu also wanted to help out earlier, but he failed several times, so Zhang Yan pulled Xiao Hu aside without any hesitation.
Lu Xinfei curled her lips in disapproval. If such an ugly girl could be considered pretty, then if Xiao Hu could see Lu Xinfei's true face in 2015, would he praise her as the number one beauty in the world? Lu Xinfei was proud and narcissistic for a while. When she heard the old clock strike eight, she remembered that she wouldn't be able to make it home until noon today.
Lu Xinfei thanked Zhang Yan and pulled Xiao Hu home to tidy up in a hurry.
Lu Xinfei brought Xiao Hu out of the door, but accidentally heard Zhang Yan's house from the noise of a quarrel. Lu Xinfei felt a sense of novelty. She wanted to hear what people were arguing about and who they were arguing with. Therefore, she ran to Zhang Yan's side and listened to them sneakily. Plus, Lu Xinfei was still dissatisfied about Zhang Yan's mother-in-law urging Old Lady Chen to go to Lu Xinfei's home and cause trouble.
Lu Xinfei admitted that she was a nosy woman. In 2005, Lin Yuheng always said that she was a ghost, saying that her curiosity could kill the cat.
Today, Lin Yuheng's words were definitely true. Although Lu Xinfei's curiosity didn't kill the cat, they made Lu Xinfei even more worried and worried.
Because Lu Xinfei had heard what Grandma Zhang Yan said, and then her heart had been in turmoil.
Zhang Yan's mother-in-law scolded Zhang Yan in this way, "You don't have eyes. There are so many people in the village, yet you want to play with that unruly Lu Xinfei. What can you learn from her? "Even your sister ran over from your parents' house to tell you to stay away from Lu Xinfei. If I ever see you with that shameless b * tch Lu Xinfei again, I'll break your legs!"
Zhang Yan usually didn't have much to say, but as long as she faced her unreasonable grandma, she was like a frosted eggplant, withered straight away. She stammered, "I didn't want to play with her today. She came to find me. Do I have the nerve to kick her out?"
Lu Xinfei was instantly angered. She wasn't a quiet person in the first place. She really wanted to barge into the room and scold Grandma Zhang Yan. However, her rationality stopped her in time.
Forget it, charging in like this would make it difficult for Zhang Yan.
The truth was revealed. It was possible that Zhang Yan's sister's family was from the same village as Lu Xinfei's family. However, Lu Xinfei had never seen Zhang Yan's sister before, so she was still unable to find out more information about Zhang Yan's sister. As for Zhang Yan's sister, she came to Zhang Yan to tell her about Chen Dayong and Lu Xinfei and not to keep in touch with Lu Xinfei. Then, Grandma Zhang Yan also heard it, so she told Old Lady Chen … That was how it happened. Lu Xinfei wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
Forget it, it's not a big deal if I don't have contact with Zhang Yan in the future. In any case, Lu Xinfei herself wasn't that close to Zhang Yan. She was just standing on the main point and chatting with Zhang Yan.
"Mom, what's going on inside?" Xiao Hu didn't think that Lu Xinfei had also become like him, a little kid, who also liked to play furtively outside of other people's walls.
"Shh …" "Nothing much, let's go." Lu Xinfei was afraid that Xiao Hu's loud voice would be heard by everyone in the room, so she quickly pulled Xiao Hu's hand and left.
Lu Xinfei and Xiao Hu stood by the sand road at the village entrance. Lu Xinfei didn't know if there were any buses that went to the city in this era, because Lu Xinfei searched her memory, but she couldn't find any information on this. It seemed like this sovereign had never found passenger cars before, but what about Xiao Hu? Xiao Hu never went out?
"Xiao Hu, have you ever been to the city? Mommy forgot, you tell Mommy. " Lu Xinfei mumbled as she asked Xiao Hu.
"No, Mom, you didn't take me out." Xiao Hu was a child after all, so he didn't doubt anything. He would only answer whenever he was asked.
Lu Xinfei felt her head hurt again. She said that she couldn't raise her son in captivity, but how could her real body lock Xiao Hu up at home every day? The city was only seventy miles away, not too far, but it never took a child there. And the way to the city was through the town where Lu Xinfei's parents lived.
Lu Xinfei was feeling depressed when she heard the voice of a young man not far away. The man called out loudly, "Third sister, where are you bringing Xiao Hu?"
Lu Xinfei wasn't interested in the man's first sentence, but when she heard the words "Xiao Hu", she suddenly realized that he was greeting her. He was calling her Xiao Hu's name and calling her Third Sister-in-Law.
Lu Xinfei hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face.
The young man was standing at the entrance to the main road with one foot still on the Golden Deer, looking at Lu Xinfei with a smile.
Lu Xinfei remembered. Wasn't this the fifth brother of Chen? He was her brother-in-law.
Chen was married for two years. At that time, his wife wanted to buy a new big golden deer bike to marry into his home. Old Lady Chen almost died from anger.
Old Lady Chen and the matchmaker had caused a huge ruckus, which became a hot topic in the village. In the end, the secretary came forward to lend Old Lady Chen some money and persuaded her to buy a bicycle. He then married Old Lady Chen's wife and brought her home.
Because of this matter, Old Lady Chen had been too lazy to respond to her fifth daughter-in-law. Even Aunt Chen had a big opinion of her daughter-in-law.
She did not care what her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law thought of her. She had just married her fifth brother, but Old Lady Chen and her fifth brother had been forced to separate from her. They had closed their doors and lived their own lives. I heard that it was also at that time that the Chen family's sons separated from Old Lady Chen.
"Fifth brother, are you going to the city to work?" Lu Xinfei saw Chen Ol 'Five pushing his bicycle over and hurriedly stopped herself from thinking too much. She remembered that Ol' Five's daughter-in-law had always had a good time with the real body. That's why Ol 'Five took care of her, Third Sister-in-Law.
Chen Ol 'Five had just found a blacksmith job in the city, which earned him more than farming.
"Yes, Third Sister-in-Law, you're taking Huzi to your parents' house? "I've heard that my third brother is really being improper …" The fifth brother really knew how to talk. Not only did he not criticize Lu Xinfei, he even started off with his third brother.
These words were so direct that it made Lu Xinfei's heart warm. It seemed that Lu Xinfei's fifth brother was the same as her father-in-law; they were both reasonable people.
"That's right. I want to bring Hu Zi to my family …" Lu Xinfei suddenly thought of an idea. She didn't stand on ceremony with Old Wu and directly asked for his opinion, "Fifth brother, since you want to go to the city, can you give Xiao Hu a lift? My parents are pretty easy to find in the town, so you should ask around to send Hu Zi over. Then you can go back to work in the city. I'll walk slowly in the back and go to my parents' house as well. "
This idea was really not bad. It wouldn't take up too much of his time and he didn't need to let Xiao Hu walk 50 miles with Lu Xinfei. How could a kid walk so far with this pair of calves?
"Third sister in law, I'll take you two with me. This golden deer carriage is quite durable. This is a famous brand …" Chen Laowu patted his car. Honestly speaking, although when he and his wife had just gotten married, he had blamed his wife for being too inconsiderate to ask for such an expensive car, but afterwards, he still used the car a little more times. His wife was an old woman, so when she had a child, she could only stay at home. She couldn't go anywhere, so it seemed like the golden deer was serving itself.
Besides, the young people in the village didn't get on their bikes. Old Chen was the first to start a new life. Every time he talked about it, he felt like he had too much face in front of other brothers.
