Hearing this, Chu's father and Chu's mother breathed a sigh of relief. The family's money was enough for their two children to go to school. However, Chu Guangyao's expenses would have to be reduced, and they were somewhat reluctant to give up.
Chu Ye continued to increase his firepower, "I think I will work hard in the past few months. When the time comes, I will be admitted to a technical secondary school, which is better than going to high school. I will be able to work quickly, and then I will be able to help the family, and my parents will not be so tired. .”
Chu Ye had an expression of admiration on his face, and the old couple felt warm in their hearts. They felt that this girl was not raised in vain. Not only did they not have to worry about her, she was also thinking about them.
Chu's father smoked a cigarette lightly and thought carefully. According to Chu Ye, there are many benefits to studying in a technical secondary school. Once you graduate, you will have a job and sit in the office and you will get a salary.
Moreover, once she gets a job, maybe a young man from the city will fall in love with her and marry her directly to the city, and he can follow her to enjoy the blessings in the city!
Chu's father's vision became more and more beautiful. Suddenly, he felt that he already had a son-in-law in the city. When the time comes, the son-in-law will have to toast him, pick up food for him, and support him when he talks!
When Chu Ye became a fat boy again, he asked his in-laws to go east. If the in-laws dared not to listen, he would ask Chu Ye to take the child back. He would not treat them like ants on a hot pot!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Chu Ye said was reliable.
He blew out the cigarette in his mouth and put the cigarette rod on the table, "Okay! I'll listen to you. You study hard during this period and you must get into a good school!"
——
The next day, Chu Ye got up early and asked Chu's mother for a dollar. As soon as he left the yard, he saw his neighbor's bullock cart waiting.
Chu Ye jogged a few steps and greeted the people in the car, "Brother Jianwen, how long have you been waiting outside without calling me when you come?"
Sitting on the bullock cart was a young man in his twenties, holding the reins easily with one hand, raising his other hand slightly, and buckling a straw hat on his head. He was wearing black patched clothes, and he smiled shyly, " I just came out, so I don’t want to be in a hurry and it won’t be a problem to wait for you for a while.”
"Look, my wife is still seeing me off and hasn't entered the house yet."
Following the direction of his finger, Chu Ye indeed saw a woman standing at the door of the next room. She was thin and had long hair disheveled. When Chu Ye looked over, she smiled gently and waved to the two of them.
Chu Ye rolled his eyes and waved.
Chu Ye climbed onto the bullock cart and sat firmly. Jianwen waved his hand to the woman, motioning her to come into the house quickly, and then drove the cart away.
Jianwen is the son of his neighbor Aunt Wang. The woman just now is his daughter-in-law, named Zhuang Nianci. She was originally an educated youth who came to the countryside. Later, she fell in love with Brother Jianwen. The two of them exchanged certificates and had a banquet a year ago. .
A few days ago, Sister Nianci found out that she was pregnant. She was vomiting so much that she couldn't eat. Seeing that her body was getting weaker and weaker, Brother Jianwen couldn't sit still and planned to go to the city in exchange for some nutritious food.
It happened that Chu Ye was also going to town, so he just decided to go all the way.
The oxcart moved forward slowly, the land was uneven, and Chu Ye bumped on it. There was still some humidity in the air early in the morning, and dewdrops hung on the weeds on both sides of the road. Looking at the sun with a face in the distance, she couldn't help but think of what happened in her previous life.
In her previous life, Sister Nianci's child was born dead.
She suffered from severe morning sickness during her pregnancy, and she was not very energetic until the time of delivery. The baby was born in less than nine months. It is said that she had a fight with Brother Jianwen at that time, which caused the fetal gas to move, which caused the baby to attack prematurely.
At that time, Sister Nianci was stimulated and her water broke. She was in severe pain at home and was about to give birth. But according to Aunt Wang, rural women give birth at home. They just call a midwife and it only takes half a day.
Sister Nianci was unwilling, saying that she had to go to the hospital for such a thing, so what if she gave birth at home? The two were in a stalemate, and Brother Jianwen was caught in the middle. In the end, he missed the best time when he went to ask the midwife.
Sister Nianci gave birth to a little girl in severe pain, but the fetus was held in the mother's body for too long and lost its breath when it landed.
From this point on, Sister Nianci always complained about Brother Jianwen and Aunt Wang.
At that time, Chu Ye had already married into the Zhao family. I only heard that the Wang family had not been able to live in peace for several years because of this incident.
Sister Nianci has always refused to have a second child, Aunt Wang is eager to have a grandson, and conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are frequent.
In the end, Sister Nianci was forced to leave home and go to other places. Brother Jianwen also gave up his job at home and went to work alone. Aunt Wang was so angry that within a few years her hair turned gray and she became ill in bed.
Looking at Brother Jianwen driving the bullock cart, Chu Ye couldn't explain how he felt in his heart. His love was clear, and he tried to find ways to make his wife live a comfortable life. Sister Nianci's love was also clear, and he was willing to stay in the countryside for love. .
But love is so fragile, and one thing after another makes it impossible for the two of them to go back to the past.
She decided to do something.
She asked, "Brother Jianwen, you and Sister Nianci have a really good relationship. How many months is Sister Nianci pregnant?"
Jianwen smiled shyly and said honestly, "She is already two months old. We just went to the health center for a checkup the day before yesterday. The doctor said that her health is not good and she needs to be stable in the first three months."
Speaking of his wife, Jianwen, who has always been silent, couldn't stop chatting, "There were eggs at home, and my mother said to give them to her to replenish her health, but Nianci vomited when she smelled the eggs."
"My mother killed the old hens at home and made chicken soup. She can still drink some."
"So this time, I have to buy some more chicks and raise them back, otherwise the chickens at home will be eaten up soon."
Jianwen's tone was brisk, and he was happy that Nianci could drink the chicken soup.
After hearing this, Chu Ye became more and more emotional. She pretended to be confused and asked, "Sister Nianci really suffered during pregnancy. I wonder if it will be very hard when giving birth?"
This question made Jianwen speechless, and he hesitated for a long time, "Isn't it possible? I still remember my mother said that she was very close to giving birth to me, and she was still working in the fields when she suddenly had a stomachache. I was rushing home in a hurry, but I landed before I even reached the door. ”
Jianwen scratched his head. He originally didn't need to worry about something until seven months later, but now if he was suddenly asked about it, he couldn't explain it. When a woman in the village gives birth, the family is filled with joy after the birth, and the pain and unbearability of the woman's delivery are not publicly publicized afterwards.
Chu Ye has experienced these things before, and now that he thinks about it, he still feels pain in his stomach.
But she was fine at the time. Her parents-in-law were looking forward to the birth of their grandson, so they hired a midwife to stay at home when she was about to give birth. When she was about to give birth, the midwife did her best.
But so what? The pain and unbearable pain during childbirth will not let go of any woman, and there is no help, only a living hard life.
Thinking of these things, her face became painful, and she continued to speak, but her tone was very soft, as if the words were sent to Jianwen's ears like a handful of grass swaying.
"But Sister Nianci is a girl from the city and has not suffered much. If she gave birth at home, Brother Jianwen, you can't help. Wouldn't that harm Sister Nianci?"
Jianwen, who was driving the bullock cart, couldn't see Chu Ye's face, but just listened to her words and noticed a problem that he didn't expect.
He frowned, his wheat-colored face full of confusion. When he knew that Nian Ci was pregnant, he was only happy. These days, he only thought about replenishing Nian Ci's health. He really didn't think of such a long-term thing.
He scratched his head and thought about Chu Ye's words. He quickly figured it out and didn't care to speak, "Then, if Nianci wants to go to the hospital, I will take her to the hospital. I can't let Nianci suffer."< br>
His face lightened up, thinking that this was not a big problem.
Hearing this, the weight in Chu Ye's heart seemed to lighten a little, and she began to take vaccinations, "What if Aunt Wang doesn't let her go to the hospital? After all, going to the hospital costs a lot of money."
"No way?" He thought for a moment and continued, "But what you said makes sense. Then I will make more money so that Nian Ci will not suffer so much."
"Siya, you are so young and think so far-sightedly. You deserve to be a well-educated person, and you are as smart as Nianci."
Jianwen gave a thumbs up, completely unaware that Chu Ye was testing his tone. He just felt that people who have read books have different minds.
Chu Ye looked helpless for a while, but he had already mentioned something. Thinking of what happened in his previous life, he probably had a lot of problems with Aunt Wang. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to explore Aunt Wang's intentions again.
From ancient times to the present, it has not been easy for a woman to give birth. She is reborn once, no matter what the reason is, but since she can use her own power to change something, it is always good.
This was the case when she saved Mu Zhiqing before. She hoped that she could also save Sister Nian Ci's children in the future.
The oxcart took a long journey, and it was almost noon when we arrived at the town.
Jianwen hurried to the market, while Chu Ye also had his own things to do.
The middle school in the town was her goal this time. She had not been there for two months since she went home for the holidays years ago.
From the outside, the school looked the same as before, but standing at the door, Chu Ye felt like he was in another world.
She lowered her head and looked at her attire. The lapel coat made of thick blue had been frayed at the hem, and the trouser legs were stained with mud. She probably got it from squatting on the bullock cart. She lowered her head and patted it until there were traces of mud. fade away.
She touched the braid on her chest, feeling full of anxiety. She had been standing at the door for ten minutes, and the man at the door couldn't help but look at her.
She walked up with a smile on her lips, bowed and said hello to the uncle, "Hello, Grandpa Wang, can you let me in? I have something to do with the teacher."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Wang's eyes lit up in surprise, "Little girl Chu Ye, it is indeed you! I just said that after looking at it for a long time, I thought it was you standing there, and I didn't come over for a long time."
Chu Ye was overwhelmed by the sudden enthusiasm. She stood at the door and listened to the uncle's words.
Uncle Wang is the gatekeeper in the town. Every time Chu Ye went to and from school, he would say hello to him. In addition, Chu Ye studied well and was quickly remembered by the uncle.
Often before Chu Ye opened his mouth, he would shout cheerfully, "Girl, you're here to go to school." "Girl, walk slowly on the way home and watch carefully."
One week, just two simple hellos and two sentences.
But this sentence, spanning many years, reached her ears again and warmed her heart.
She was in a trance for a while, but saw that the uncle had opened the small iron gate of the campus and let her in.
"It's been two weeks since school started this year, and I still haven't seen you come to school. I was still thinking that you wouldn't go to school. I finally saw you today."
He saw that Chu Ye didn't bring any luggage or schoolbag, and he was confused, "Why don't you bring your schoolbag when you come to school? Are you not planning to go to school?"
Chu Ye was silent, then shook his head, "No, I still have to go to school. This is why I came to the teacher to talk about this."
"That's good. You have to study hard and stand out in the future so that you won't be bullied. Go quickly. School isn't out yet. The teachers should still be there."
Chu Ye obeyed, silently bowed to Uncle Wang and said goodbye, and walked towards the campus.
