Chapter 70

Du Cao asked with tears in her eyes. Du Zhang shook her head gently. She just wanted the little granddaughter in front of her to be happy.

"Xiaocao, if you have money, you can keep it. When you get married, your mother won't give you the dowry at the bottom of the box. You should plan more for yourself. Grandma is an old lady, and she can live with food."

When she heard that grandma was thinking about everything for her own sake, Du Cao was even more happy and worried.

In the future, if she is not in this family, she will definitely attack Du Zhang because of sun Guixiang's violent temper.

Then ducao chatted with her grandmother for a while, put the cloth shoes in her arms and went to the kitchen.

After she went in, she thought there would be leftovers in the pot. She didn't want the pot to be very dry and there was no trace of wet.

"Didn't they eat at home in the morning?" Du Cao looked at the pot table and asked himself, it's not a short time for him to go out, so they didn't get up?

Then she opened the cupboard again and saw that the grain had been put back, and the salt and soy sauce were in the original position.

There was only an old cracked bowl next to the rice bag, which contained half a bowl of raw rice.

Seeing this, Du Cao guessed that sun Guixiang and Du Daqiang were lazy in most cases. No one was willing to make breakfast, so they simply left them aside.

In desperation, she had to cook with rice and took a radish back from the woodshed.

After all, she and Ji have not had breakfast, and her grandmother Du Zhang is still hungry in the hut.

The rice has been cooked, and ducao thinks a radish is too monotonous. He plans to go to the chicken nest in the yard to find out if there are any eggs.

After turning around, Du Cao found that the fact was similar to what she had guessed. Sun Guixiang and his wife were not at home.

To make breakfast, she first sent one to grandma, and then went back to the house to have dinner with Ji Shumo.

"It seems quiet today." Ji said while eating, looking at the little girl who seemed to have something on her mind in front of her.

He also found that this morning was not the same as before. Du Cao didn't get scolded, and sun Guixiang didn't stand in the yard shouting.

Du grass a little smile, tone with a tired response.

"Yes, they went out early in the morning. It's hard to be quiet."

Ji Shumo sees that she seems to have something on her mind to hide from herself and takes a tentative look at it?

"Are you all right? Did they leave you a message before they went out? "

Smell speech, Du grass quickly shake head deny.

"Why, they are illiterate and can't write their own names."

Thinking of her rebirth in such a family, she had the feeling of crying and laughing.

But people always have to be strong to live, even though life is not easy, duckweed is worthy of the original master of the body.

Ji Shumo answered thoughtfully, and suddenly noticed that Du Cao's chest was bulging, which made him feel strange.

"What do you hide in your clothes, so it's easy to reveal..." Ji Lyric Mo kindly reminds her, and at the same time, she thinks that this girl is really naive and lovely sometimes.

Du Caocao thought of the cloth shoes that his grandmother had sewn for him, and immediately took them out to Ji Shumo.

"These are the cloth shoes my grandmother gave me. Do you think they are beautiful?" Du grass showed the innocent eyes of the little girl, looking forward to his praise.

Also, Ji Shumo is the only one who can talk to her now. Du Cao naturally takes him in his heart and regards him as his only friend.

Ji Shumo smiles indifferently, as if a smile appeared on the handsome face of heaven and man.

"It's very beautiful, and the embroidery is very exquisite, but a pair of shoes still need to be worn on the feet to know whether it's really good-looking."

After hearing what he said, ducao thought it was quite reasonable, and finally put down his heart and showed it to him on his feet.

The little white feet looked a little bigger when they put on cotton padded shoes, but they were still dexterous. They only felt that their feet were lighter when they were wearing straw, so they could not help stamping the ground.

Ji Shu Mo nodded admiringly, praised a few words to make Du Cao happy.

But the beautiful words were second. Ducao felt that the shoes were warm and comfortable. The soles of the shoes seemed to be stepping on the clouds.

After breakfast, Du Cao went out to cut firewood. She didn't want to meet Aunt Wang, the next door neighbor.

Originally, Du Cao just met and said hello to her, but today Aunt Wang was very warm and called her directly.

"Xiaocao, are your parents out?" Aunt Wang's insincere inquiries and tongue chewing are the usual problems of the women in the village.Anyway, it's OK to be idle, so it's better to be idle.

"Yes, they went out early in the morning before I got up." Du Cao told the truth, but she still had a cute smile on her little face, which made Aunt Wang like it more.

Du Cao's main purpose is to avoid Mrs. Wang's continuous questioning in her spare time. After all, she really doesn't know where sun Guixiang and his wife have gone.

Aunt Wang's expression was really a little more curious, but after listening to Du Cao's response, she changed the topic.

"By the way, Xiaocao, I haven't congratulated you yet. In a short time, you will be a big girl!" Aunt Wang congratulated her with a different meaning, but the smile on her face had a different meaning,

The people in the village speak in a subtle way. Usually, the little girl refers to a girl half the age of ducao, while the big girl refers to a young girl who has just married.

Du Cao understood Aunt Wang's suggestion. She was still very young. She was just ten years old. She would have to wait for another four or five years.

Don't want to, Aunt Wang is a real person, see Du grass refused to admit, think she just out of shyness.

"I understand. Don't be embarrassed. Marriage is a blessing for a woman! It's a happy event for you to get married soon Aunt Wang affirmed that she felt the thin shoulder of Du Cao as if it was a compliment.

"This, this is what my mother told you?"

Du Cao's face was a little unnatural. She turned to ask Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang narrowed her eyes and laughed. She answered in a low voice.

"No, but that's what your mother said. Although you are a little younger, it's better to marry early. The younger you are, the more painful your mother-in-law's family will be. You will be raised as half a daughter."

Of course, ducao also knew that the neighbor's words were not malicious. She didn't want to talk more about it. She could only express her gratitude in her mouth.

"Thank you, madam. I'll go to chop firewood." Duckweed responded cleverly and then turned to the hill behind the house.

Mrs. Wang looked at her small and thin figure and shook her head with a smile. She sighed that it was not easy for the girl to be a sensible leader at a young age.

As Du Cao was on her way to chop firewood, she felt more and more uneasy. How could she not understand Sun Guixiang's intention? What she said was to find her husband's family to get married, but she actually sold it as an object.

As for the buyer, he may be a poor boy who can't afford to marry a wife of the right age, or even sell it to others.

Thinking of this, ducao felt chilly. She knew that only by saving money as soon as possible to escape from the fire pit could she avoid her tragedy.

Besides, now she and Ji Shumo are almost dependent on each other. With him to protect herself, she will be more handy when she runs away.
