When she got home, Yingzi had already fallen asleep deeply on her elder brother's back.

He went into the house, put her on the kang, took off her shoes, laid her flat and covered her with a quilt.

He put her to sleep, taking off her shoes and laying them flat, but she didn't wake up, her breathing was deep and even, her little face was flushed, she couldn't be more mature.

This small west room is Yingzi's boudoir.

Liang Jincang would hardly come to this room.

There was no such small west house a long time ago.

Liang Jincang slept with his parents when he was a child. Later, after his younger brother was born, the several warehouses gradually grew bigger. The older one drove away one and went to sleep on the kang in the west room.

When we brought Yingzi back, she was six years old. She was still sleeping on the kang in the east room with her parents, the third child, and the fourth child who was born in 1973.

Later, as she grew older, it became inconvenient to sleep on the same kang as her parents, and as Yingzi was a girl, it was impossible for her to sleep in the west room with several barns and one kang.

Later, a small west room was built in the yard against the west wall, with a small fire pit in it.

In winter, stuff some broken firewood into the kang hole. If the stuffing is strong enough, it can burn slowly all night. Not only the kang, but also the entire small west house will be warm.

Tian Fugui's sister Yufen is the same age as Yingzi and goes to school in the same class. Because their brothers are close friends, they have become the best playmates.

Fugui's family also has many brothers and sisters. One sister got married and Yufen had no place to sleep, so she stayed at Okura's house and slept on this small kang with Eiko.

It was just after dinner at this time and Yufen hadn't come over yet. Liang Jincang put his sister down and didn't go out immediately. Instead, he sat down by the Kang.

He was afraid that Yingzi would wake up if he left.

The kerosene lamp on the wall flickered with a large flame, and the light was not too bright. Liang Jincang couldn't help but look at his sleeping sister a few more times.

I haven't seen her sleeping for several years.

Looking at this familiar little face that seems to have changed a lot, the more I look at it, the more I look like the fox in the little book. The skin is getting whiter and whiter, the little nose is exquisite and straight, and the little mouth is pink and moist.

A warm spring-like warmth overflowed, filling his chest.

She was six years old when her parents were killed, and she was already old enough to remember things. She could even remember things intermittently when she was four or five years old.

From her incomplete description, we can infer that her family is in good condition in the city.

I don't know what happened, but the family of three was displaced here. The couple had to pack all their clothes on their daughter, and they froze to death and did not dare to enter the village.

That tragic childhood experience may be a lifelong psychological shadow for Yingzi.

Liang Jincang knew that he would never forget the human tragedy he witnessed in the winter of 1972.

Although everyone in the family treated Yingzi as their own, Liang Jincang knew about Yingzi's psychological shadow.

Although she never showed it, Liang Jincang could empathize with her and knew that she would be sad and sad from time to time.

There must be memories of my dead parents that I will never forget.

So Liang Jincang was twice as kind to his sister.

The mistress and the fourth son are both younger than her, but at Liang Jincang's place, the treatment of the mistress and the fourth son is far inferior to that of their elder sisters.

Regardless of whether it was food or anything, Yingzi was given priority. Whenever she gave it to her younger brother, if the two boys dared to reach out and accept it, they would definitely end up being kicked away by their elder brother...

Mother walked in. She came back from Matchmaker Liu's house.

"Asleep?" the mother said, reaching out to touch her daughter's forehead.

"How about Guo Cheng's family?" Liang Jincang asked softly.

Mother shook her head and sat down on the other side of the small kang: "I think you should go there again."

"What's wrong?"

"When I came back just now, I was passing by a big well. Guochengjia suddenly fell off the carrier. If someone hadn't pulled her up quickly, she would have plunged into the well."

Liang Jincang was extremely surprised: "Isn't it necessary? You didn't tell her that the money and things were sent back and we don't want them anymore?"

"I told you, but it didn't work. I lied on the kang, staring, and didn't say anything to anyone. There were several people watching there. It seems that as long as I leave someone, I will still seek death."

"She is not such a fragile person!" Liang Jincang pinched his chin, "Is there anything else?"

"I discussed it with them. I guess I'm still worried that you won't finish this matter and you will ask the Jia brothers to find trouble with her later."

At this point, my mother let out a long sigh and said meaningfully:

"The older generation named Jia and the younger generation have done so many bad things in this village. They are all beasts. Whoever is not afraid of him dares to get close to him!"

Liang Jincang was afraid that his mother would continue to expand this topic, so he quickly said: "What do you mean, let me go over and explain it to Guocheng's family, so that she won't be afraid?"

"Yes, I'll go there with you, and both of us can say something nice to make her feel at ease."

Liang Jincang looked at his mother with admiration.

Although my mother has a strong personality, she is also a tigress in the village if she is offended, but she is reasonable. Although the narrow-mindedness of rural women is inevitable, it is still bigger than that of ordinary women.

Some people in the village joked about my mother, saying that she did not join the army when she was young. If she was given a chance, she would definitely be an old woman with two guns.

Close relatives, close neighbors, whenever something happens, happiness or death, mother always takes the lead.

That year, a sweet potato cellar collapsed in the village and two people were thrown in. No one dared to go down. It was the tigress that jumped in and dug it out.

Although one died, one was always saved!

At this time Yufen came over after dinner.

Mother told Yufen to keep an eye on Yingzi when she went to bed at night, and if there was anything unusual about Yingzi, she should knock on the window of the east room.

Yufen was a little surprised: "Why did Yingzi go to bed so early? What happened to her?"

"Guocheng's family hanged themselves, and Yingzi was frightened."

Yufen said angrily: "I heard about it when we were eating just now. You still go to save her. It would be better if she died."

The mother glared at Yufen angrily: "The little kid Jiaguang knows how to say those easy words. If the Guocheng family does something wrong, she should die?"

Besides, she has a man and a child. If you don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face, don’t you think about how pitiful the two motherless children would be if she died!”

Yufen was so reprimanded that she didn't dare to speak, so she stuck out her tongue at Brother Okura.

When the couple walked to the door, Liang Jincang turned back and told Yufen:

"You took off your clothes for Yingzi. It's not comfortable to sleep with clothes on.

Be gentle and don't wake her up."

The mother gave her son a meaningful look.

Walking on the street, my mother was a little angry: "What do you think this is all about? We let her defraud people and money, and we have to rush to save her..."

When they arrived at Zhu Guocheng's house, they saw Matchmaker Liu still lying motionless on the kang, still silent and staring with eyes like two dead fishes.

The Okura family said a lot of nice things to her, and said matter-of-factly that although what you did was unethical, you still got a good beating, and even touched the nose of the King of Hell tonight, which was a harsh lesson.

Already.

The final conclusion is that if something like this happens, both sides will suffer losses, so let’s stop here. This statement made it clear in person. If it falls by two, the big position will be written off.

Unexpectedly, matchmaker Liu was not moved at all by the two mothers' consolation.

Okura Madam was a little angry: "His aunt, I have made it clear to you, Okura has forgiven you, and the money and things have been sent back. You are still not satisfied, what do you want?

How about asking Okura to kneel down and help you?"

Her words finally worked. Matchmaker Liu turned her eyes and stared at the Okura family.

Then the tears rolled down like the opening of a river, and he choked and said:

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for Okura, and I'm sorry for you.

But I just don’t want to live anymore. It’s not because of your family. It’s really not because of your family.

You guys go back, I won’t survive anyway—”
