Chapter 8:

Xiangyang has never eaten this kind of sweet potatoes, or for Xiangyang he has never eaten sweet potatoes several times before, but the sweet potatoes he ate this time made him remember it in the days to come.
When Jinxiu took two big wooden sticks and just opened a hole in the soil, a fragrance came to his face. Xiangyang's belly also sang the sonata accordingly.
Jinxiu just wanted to laugh, thinking that it would be embarrassing, so she desperately suppressed the urge to laugh. But the more she tried to suppress it, the stranger her expression became. Her shoulders shrugged up and down.
Xiangyang was embarrassed and annoyed, holding a stone in his hand and unconsciously speeding up to poke away the soil.
Jinxiu smiled: "Don't use so hard, the sweet potato skin will break."
Xiangyang said dullly: "What are you laughing at?"
The smile on Jinxiu's face could no longer be stopped, and he laughed loudly.
Looking at the flying smile on Jinxiu's face, Xiangyang picked up a few pebbles and gently threw Jinxiu's body: "Don't laugh." The voice sounded like a baby.
Jinxiu touched Xiangyang's hair, and her hair was unexpectedly soft: "I am laughing, not to make fun of you. I think you are so cute, and it's strange that I thought you were terrible before." It comforted like Jinming. Hold him.
Xiangyang didn't say a word, and only threw small stones to exhale. Jinxiu did not expect that the big guy would have such a childish side.
Soon, all of Xiangyang's grievances were attracted by the sweet potatoes, despite its dark appearance, but the fragrance was first-class, more pure than the taste of roasted sweet potatoes on the night market.
Xiangyang turned the sweet potatoes from left to right to let cool, Jinxiu put her hands on the ground and helped him blow the sweet potatoes with her.
Because the hands are gray, and the peeled sweet potato has black marks, no one dislikes it in the current environment.
Xiang Yang handed the sweet potato to Jinxiu, nodding his chin.
Fairview said: "You eat it, I can peel it again!"
Xiangyang didn't take it back.
Fairview had no choice but to accept the sweet potato.
At this time, Xiang Yang picked up another one and peeled it to eat. The taste was really good, very sweet, mixed with a fragrance of earth.
Jinxiu craned her neck with an expression of praise: "How is it? How is it? It's delicious."
Xiang Yang pretended to be reserved and said: "It's okay."
Jinxiu didn't care either, she finished eating the sweet potatoes on her hand, and said to Xiangyang: "After you finish eating, tidy up here, I will go first."
Xiang Yang raised his eyelids, inexplicably lost: "You, don't you eat anymore?"
Splendid patted the crumbs on her hands and body: "Stop eating, I still have dumplings. After eating, I still have work to do. I have to work harder today."
Xiang Yang also propped up his body: "Wait for me, I will help you with it."
Jinxiu turned and waved: "It's okay, you don't know how to do this, you can eat slowly."
It turned out that she just came here to prepare food for herself?
When she went home in the evening, Li Meili explained that she wanted her family to go to her grandmother's house and had something to do. She asked her to pull peanuts at home and also pick peanuts. After they were picked, they should be dried.
Jinxiu responded one by one.
In fact, they just went to grandmother's house for summer vacation. Every year, she knew very well in her heart, but she didn't want to clarify it.
She also doesn't like going to her grandmother's house, and her cousin and cousin like to bully her.
When I was young, I put caterpillars in her clothes or schoolbag. And every time I go back, a few children will take turns to sing and dance in front of her, to the effect that she is the child picked up and discarded by mom and dad, and no one loves anyone.
At first, she was crying in front of her parents, who would comfort her, and grandpa and grandma would also help drive away the children.
Until Jinming was born, her parents didn’t worry about her, and her grandma’s family ignored her. They began to talk about her biological parents in front of her without any scruples, saying that her parents had given birth to another younger sister. Nian said her parents finally gave her a brother.
But, what does this have to do with her?
Growing up, she only saw her parents once from a distance.
Mother held her younger brother in his arms, and father held a larger girl in his hands, and a teenage sister followed them.
They didn't know her, and she didn't intend to recognize them. She just looked from a distance, without feeling excited or sad.
Jinxiu would rather stay at home alone than go to her grandmother's house to see people's faces.
Seeing that she didn't want to go, Li Meili couldn't ask for it.
Once when Li Meili returned to her family’s home, she was told about Jinxiu. She scolded Jinxiu when she returned home, saying that she was a sullen gourd and deserved to be ignored by others and was born to be abandoned.
Jinming said he would accompany Axiu at home and let his parents go to grandma.
Jinxiu said that I have to work and read books. You will cause trouble for me if you stay. After all, Jin Ming was sent off.
What's the use of staying? The parents would blame her for teaching her brother not to go to her grandmother's house.
In this world, Jinming is the only one who treats her as a relative, and she does not want to show any negative emotions with her family in front of Jinming. It is better to let him go to grandma's house for a summer vacation.
After breakfast the next day, my parents packed up and went to grandma's house.
Li Meili again told Fairview to pull out the peanuts as soon as possible, or it would be troublesome for the peanuts to germinate easily if it rains.
Fairview nodded.
Jinming looked at her sister eagerly, and asked pitifully, "Axiu, do you really want me to stay with you at home?"
Li Meili raised a touch of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, and ridiculed: "Your sister has a job, and I don't have time to accompany you."
Jinxiu touched Jinming's head and smiled softly at him: "I want to read a book. I really don't have time. You have to read the book at grandma's, do you know?"
Jinming pursed his mouth and reluctantly prolonged his tone: "Oh~~"
Jinxiu pressed his mouth, "Go early, and try to get there before dark. It's too late to be safe."
After saying goodbye, Jinxiu did not rush out.
Repeatedly confirming that parents and brothers had gone out, she returned to the room again.
Then she took out a tin box from the bottom of the closet, which contained all her savings, counted all the banknotes and coins, and didn't know if it was enough.
Jinxiu does not plan to go to the fields today. She wants to go shopping in the town and also goes to the village to find Old Uncle Liu.
Xiangyang got up to the river in the morning and washed his face and body again. There is only one set of clothes, there is no way to change and wash, I can only continue to wear, try to make myself more tidy.
Xiang Yang wanted to laugh every time Jinxiu listened to the with her eyes shining brightly, but she didn't expect that the little girl was still a voice control.
I wonder, is she Yankong? Will she be that idiot when she sees her clean face?
Xiang Yang touched his face. He never cared about his appearance. People around him said that he was tall and handsome, and somehow both junior and senior high school became school grass.
I don't know how this girl would react when she saw her face? Jinxiu would like this look, right?
Xiang Yang was suddenly stunned by his own thoughts. What was he thinking? He didn't know where this was, and he had only met a girl for two days. What does he care about her thinking?
Thinking of the girl named Jinxiu, his heart couldn't help softening.
The sky is getting brighter, and Jinxiu should be here.
Xiang Yang hurried to lay on the "bed" made of cardboard boxes in the cabin. He turned his back to the door, but his ears stood up vigilantly, listening to the movement outside the door.
After a long time, until the shattered sunlight shone through the roof, Xiangyang had not seen Jinxiu's figure.
At this time, Xiangyang's stomach also screamed. He just lay motionless, keeping his eyes on the sun rays coming in from the roof.
His stomach kept screaming happily, but he didn't feel hungry at all, nor did he feel sleepy. Maybe the sun is up and it feels unspeakably hot.
The room became more and more sultry, and the sweat behind Xiangyang flowed down like a stream. The wounds on his body had not undergone any treatment. In such a hot weather, it is estimated that they were all infected, and they are now in dull pain.
However, Xiang Yang just wanted to lie down.
He lay on his back, looking up at the sun's rays on the broken roof. He thought, ugly.
With inexplicable irritability, Xiang Yang sat up and walked to the door to look outside. Only the hard-working villagers and no one else came.
Xiang Yang kept pacing, suddenly his brain twitched, he squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground and rubbed his hands vigorously, then wiped his face. When he felt a layer of dust on his face, he "relaxed" and lay again on the cardboard box.
Just when Xiangyang's head was empty, there was a creak of shoes on the gravel path outside.
Xiang Yang jumped up from the cardboard box. He quickly walked to the door and took a look, then returned to the cardboard box and sat down, pretending to casually scratch the ground with a wooden stick.
Jinxiu walked in briskly. She crossed the threshold, creaked on the stone, broke a wooden stick, and made a slight "pop", and she walked to Xiangyang.
Xiang Yang doesn't look at her.
Jinxiu leaned down and looked at Xiangyang, with a smile on her face showing two dimples: "Are you hungry?"
Xiangyang Yuguang glanced at her hand, empty. I glanced at her dimple in a blink of an eye and smiled, I am not hungry.
Jinxiu got used to his hot and cold, and directly stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Come on, come with me."
Xiang Yang said awkwardly: "I'm not going." He followed her out.
When she went outside, Jinxiu naturally let go of Xiangyang's hand.
Xiang Yang looked at his empty fingers, rubbed their fingertips lightly, and reluctantly said, "Where are you going?"
Jinxiu looked back at Xiangyang and smiled brightly at him, "Go to my house."
Xiang Yang flashed a smile on her face, and said, "Go to your house? Will it be too soon."
Jinxiu watched him limping, and couldn't help but step back, holding his hand and walking forward.
Xiang Yang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and then remembered that he was still angry, and then pressed the corner of her mouth down, but slightly hardened her hand to hold her back.
Jinxiu didn't notice anything. She said, "My parents are not at home during this time. You should stay at my house first and take care of the injury before leaving. I have asked Old Uncle Liu to come over and show you the wound later. ."
The little girl's mouth is right, Xiangyang's heart sinks, oh, that's what she meant.
Jinxiu saw that Xiangyang didn’t speak, and she knew what he was thinking.
Are you afraid of the pain? Don’t worry, Old Uncle Liu is an old doctor. Everyone in our village who has intractable diseases is looking for him. The medical skills are good."
Xiangyang expressionlessly: "I'm afraid of pain."
Fairview patted her chest: "Don't worry, I will be by your side to cheer you on."
Xiangyang's eyes lit up: "Will you always be by my side?"
Jinxiu nodded firmly: "Yes."
Xiangyang smiled successfully.
