Chapter 4： Qiqi's obsession and grievance

Chapter 4 Qiqi’s obsession and grievance

After all, she was young, and the things she had experienced in the past two days were too heavy and complicated. Not long after Qiqi finished eating, she fell asleep again.

The small wooden window in the room, the light that leaks in is a little bit skewed.

Qiqi didn't know how long she had slept, and when she woke up, it was already afternoon outside.

There are conversations in the main room.

In the main room, Chen Jianhe sat on the pony tie near the door, frowning, "I inquired in the surrounding villages, and even went to the police station in the town to inquire, and there was no one who lost the baby."

He visited nearly ten nearby villages, large and small, in the morning, and specially searched along the sides of the river bank, and he almost went to the other side of the town to inquire.

The answers I got were without exception, no one lost a child at home, and even described the baby's appearance, no one around had seen it at all.

Chen Jianhe couldn't figure it out for a while, how did the little baby come to their village entrance? Could it be that he flew here?

Zhang Xifeng was sitting opposite him, holding an unfinished dress in her hand, her face was not very good-looking, "I asked the baby, she said she was an orphan, it seems to be true."

After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely, "The wounds all over my baby's body are probably caused by being beaten while wandering. The person who did it is really a beast!"

Chen Jianhe was silent.

Yesterday I took the baby to the clinic, Chen Jianhe was also there, and he also saw the baby's injuries.

"Auntie, what should I do now?" He thought for a while, and then he spoke with some difficulty, "If no one cares about such a small baby, let her continue wandering outside alone, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid I won't live for a few days.

"I know there is an orphanage in the county that specializes in taking in orphans. How about I make a trip tomorrow to inquire about it?" he said.

Zhang Xifeng didn't speak, she looked at the unfinished little clothes in her hand, and the appearance of a baby appeared in her mind unexpectedly.

The four-and-a-half-year-old baby looks about the size of a three-year-old.

Small and thin, with a palm-sized face, too thin to pinch flesh.

She lowered her eyes and continued to thread needles on the small clothes, "Qi Qi is such a good girl. When eating, she takes small bites, and she is gentle and delicate. I praised her right away, didn't you see?" She is secretly shy and happy, but it is painful."

Chen Jianhe seemed to realize something, and frowned even tighter, "Aunt..."

He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Xifeng just as he started.

"Okay, I'll think about the baby's matter again, you've been delayed for a day, go back and finish the leftover work." After finishing speaking, Zhang Xifeng looked at the sky, and said, "It's noon now, and there is no time to rush Come on, when you go to the town early tomorrow morning, please help me to ask the veterinarian to come over and look at the pigs at home. I don’t know what’s going on these two days, the two piglets refuse to eat, and they are still runny, probably sick. "

Mentioning the two little piggies at home, Zhang Xifeng's old face became sad.

She is a widow, and she can't do much work in the field. The family's income all year round depends on these two pigs that have been raised carefully.

If the pigs don’t grow fat and cannot be sold at a price at the end of the year, they will have to live with their bellies in the coming year.

Chen Jianhe nodded in response, "Okay, I'll go to town early tomorrow morning to invite people."

Qiqi nestled in the room, and waited until there was no sound of people outside, then got out of bed, walked lightly to the door of the room, and timidly poked her head out to look out.

As soon as Zhang Xifeng turned her head, she looked at the little baby with a pair of bright eyes at the door. She looked timid, like a timid little beast, carefully stretching out a small claw to explore the outside world.

Zhang Xifeng is so cute that his heart softens into mud.

"Qiqi, come, come and try on this little dress and see if you like it." She smiled and waved to the little baby, showing the little clothes that she had just pulled up.

She made it out of her old clothes. Now that the weather is hot, she changed it into a button-down dress with half sleeves, and made a pair of trousers for the baby with the extra fabric.

The color is pale blue after washing. It is not pretty, but it is wear-resistant and dirt-resistant.

Qi Qi's eyes lit up, she grabbed her little hands and moved to the old woman, her eyes glued to her new clothes.

Although the material is old, to Qiqi, it is new clothes.

It is a small dress specially made for her by the mother-in-law.

"Looks good." She quickly glanced at the old woman, two blushes appeared on her small face, "Thank you mother-in-law, Qiqi likes it very much."

She said the latter sentence very seriously and solemnly.

Zhang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and there were small creases in the corners of his eyes.

"After taking a shower on July 7 in the evening, we will wear new clothes."

"it is good!"

Rural people, there is work outside the house.

Instructing Qiqi to play in the yard by herself, Zhang Xifeng got up and went to the nearby stove, scooped out the pig manure from the big iron pot on the earthen stove, filled it half full in a wooden barrel, and was about to lift it to the pigsty opposite, and give it to the little one. Feed the pigs again to see if they eat or not.

She lowered her eyebrows, sighed softly, then lifted the wooden bucket vigorously, and staggered towards the pigsty.

As soon as she left the kitchen, she saw Qi Qi running over with her short legs, reaching out to help her carry the barrel.

Little baby, not much taller than a wooden barrel, how strong can it be?

But this action made Zhang Xifeng very ironic, and there was a touch of warmth in his heart.

"Grandma, can I feed the pigs for you? I will."

"Yo, Qiqi knows how to feed pigs at such a young age?"

"Well, I can feed pigs, mow grass, herd cows, wash clothes... I can do a lot of work." The little boy raised his head and tried to sell himself, "Grandma can do whatever she wants. Tell me to do it."

Zhang Xifeng laughed, went to the pigsty and put down the barrel, then patted the little boy on the head and said, "You are still young, you are not required to work here with your mother-in-law."

She intended to appease the little baby, but she didn't expect the baby to be anxious.

"Grandma, let me help you with the work!"

Zhang Xifeng was puzzled, "Why does Qiqi want to work?"

Could it be that he wants to work to please her in order to make her stay?

Zhang Xifeng wanted to speak and told Wa'er not to do these things. She had already thought of keeping Wa'er in her heart, but Wa'er spoke up before she thought about it.

Wa'er's words, in her ears and heart, set off a shock that she didn't expect.

Wa'er said, "My mother-in-law gave me food and small clothes, and I helped with the work in exchange. You can't eat for free."

Wa'er also said, "Grandma, I'm not a beggar, nor a beggar."

Little baby, the dark eyes are clear and pure, with precocious firmness.

No one knows, this is Qiqi's obsession, and it is also her grievance buried in her heart.

She is not a beggar, let alone a beggar as others call her. She earns her own food.

She has never taken other people's things in vain, nor has she ever begged for others.

Even if it is given by others, she will return it in the best way she can.

She is Qiqi, an upright Qiqi who can straighten her spine.
