Chapter 66 Care
After walking to the door and seeing Zhao Yu and Zhao Cheng outside, Zhao Ya breathed a sigh of relief, and ran over crying: "Big Brother, Second Brother! Woooooo."
The three brothers and sisters hugged each other and cried.
Neither Zhao Dong nor Sun Mei interrupted them. Even Zhao Zhitong didn't speak. He just hugged Sun Mei's leg and looked at them.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yu asked Zhao Ya if she was doing well here. Zhao Ya was teary-eyed and said that she was fine here and told them not to worry. I just miss them and miss home very much.
However, she must abide by the rules and learn etiquette on weekdays. As for not doing well, it is normal to be beaten and scolded, but there is food to eat. Although she is not full, she will not be hungry.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yu told their sister about the family situation.
Hearing that her mother ran away with someone, Zhao Ya couldn't say she was sad, and she couldn't say she wasn't sad. When Zhu Shi sold her, her heart was far away from Zhu Shi.
Afterwards, when Zhao Ya heard that her uncle and aunt had taken in her eldest brother and second brother, and came to find her specially, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Dong and Sun Mei very gratefully.
At this time, in the yard, many women saw the scene at the door.
At first the woman who opened the door said coldly: "I see, that family is not so poor that they want to sell their children, right? Why, they just sold their daughter? I don’t know who it’s for.”
Woman with teeth, she is used to people who are warm and cold. They have seen a lot of those who cry and say they don't want to give up, then turn around and sell their children mercilessly.
At this time, Granny Jinhua sighed and said, "No, this is not that girl's parents, but that girl's uncle's family."
The woman’s expression turned out to be the same: “Oh, it turned out that she was sold by her uncle. That’s more normal. After the parents die, the children are left to be taken care of by the uncle, and most of them will be sold.”
Grandma Jinhua shook her head: "No, that girl was sold by her own mother. My uncle's family is probably trying to redeem the child."
It's just, one hundred and fifty taels of silver, I'm afraid they won't be able to afford it for the rest of their lives.
Hearing this, the women were a little surprised.
At this moment, Sun Mei walked over with a smile. She came to Granny Jinhua, and put a bag of money into Granny Jinhua's hand.
"Grandma Jinhua, this is our family's kindness. We want to take this child back, but, as you know, the family doesn't have that much money to redeem her body. Look, can you help me take care of her? If so, if someone buys it, please send us a letter so that we can know where she is."
Grandma Jinhua stuffed the money bag in her hand, she was stunned, there are a lot here, and their family is really willing to give up for other people's children.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that if she had met such a good uncle and aunt back then, would she have been in a different situation.
Then he sighed, thinking about what to do, so he smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, I will take care of it for you. I think that little girl is also very ingenious. I am planning to let her Going to learn needlework and embroidery."
Hearing this, Sun Mei immediately smiled and thanked her.
Not to mention whether they can redeem the person, even if they are bought by someone in the future, they will be able to find a better job if they know how to embroider with needle and thread, which is much better than being a rough envoy.
After Sun Mei's family thanked them and left, the women were still sighing, such a good family is really rare.
—
I saw my sister today. Although I couldn't reunite with the family, but knowing the recent situation of my sister, the mood of the two brothers was obviously much easier.
The family walked around South Street, watched street acrobatics, and listened to Goulan Washe's opera a few times, and they all went back home.
They didn't go back to Zhao's house directly, but went to grandparents' house first.
A few 'auspicious wishes' had been waiting at the gate for Zhao Zhitong and the others to come back. At that time, seeing their figures from a distance, they yelled and rushed up.
Zhao Zhitong was also very excited, kneeling on the cart, holding the cart with one hand, while waving his little hand: "Hey~ I'm here~"
Sun Daqing, Sun Daji, and Sun Daxiang were the fastest runners. As soon as they got to their side, they swarmed up the car regardless of whether the car stopped or not.
A group of people, accompanied by the children's laughter, went to work at home.
The neighbors in the neighborhood saw it, some people smiled and greeted, some people rolled their eyes behind their backs.
After arriving at home, as soon as the car stopped, a few little guys got out of the car with a whimper, pestered a few adults, and asked if they had bought them delicious food.
Zhao Zhitong hugged his small back basket, climbed up on a rock under the tree in the yard, and shouted: "Come here quickly, I will share things for you."
Then, several little monkeys swarmed and surrounded Zhao Zhitong.
Zhao Zhitong first took out the candied haws he had wrapped up: "I specially left this for you."
Seeing that it was candied haws, the eyes of Sun Daqing and the others almost popped out.
Few children refused the temptation of candied haws.
Zhao Zhitong said: "Don't worry, I have to count first, how many there are."
Then, they counted one by one: "One, two, three..."
The little cousin and the little cousins all swallowed their saliva, raised their voices, and followed Zhao Zhitong to count: "One, two, three..."
There are still seven above, but of all the children, including Zhao Zhitong, there are nine.
At this time, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yu said that they would not eat it after they had eaten it.
But Zhao Zhitong disagreed: "It's sweet when everyone eats together."
So, he trotted into the kitchen and asked Sun Mei to divide each candied haws in half for her, so there would be fourteen.
Half of each child, and five more, Zhao Zhitong gave them to grandpa, grandmother, two aunts, and the last one to the second uncle. It was originally intended to be given to the eldest uncle, but the eldest uncle did not want it.
Parents didn’t want it either, so she put it in the second uncle’s mouth.
At this time, the little uncle Sun Youcai who didn't get the candied haws looked at her with an aggrieved look.
Zhao Zhitong pursed his lips and thought for a while, then ran over and put half of his own into the hands of his little uncle: "Little uncle, mine is for you to eat."
After finishing speaking, he also compared his little uncle with caution.
Sun Youcai was puzzled: "What do you mean by this gesture?"
Zhao Zhitong: "Be careful, my heart is for you."
Sun Youcai covered his face and smiled, hugged Zhao Zhitong into his arms, and put half a candied haws into her mouth: "How can little uncle eat your delicious food?"
After finishing speaking, he imitated Zhao Zhitong's gestures and compared his heart to her.
But Zhao Zhitong grinned bitterly.
Sun Mei also specially selected a head flower for the two little cousins. After they got it, they were very happy.
After the things were divided, Zhao Zhitong whispered a few small turnips into the alley behind Westinghouse, and began to plot her big affairs.
Sun Daqing lowered his voice: "Little cousin, why did you call us here?"
Zhao Zhitong took out a few copper coins from his small pocket, and then showed off: "Look, what is this?"
