Chapter 922: Travel (four)

Chapter 922
"Do you eat chicken? Do you eat pork? We raise pigs and chickens in our own house, and we will slaughter them during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, dogs are the same."
"It's not the same!" Li Xiaoxiao said sadly: "Dogs accompany people every day, just like friends. They have feelings. You also said that they are all human, how can they eat! You have to say that I will not eat any meat in the future."
Fang Zhiqiang is not as easily sentimental as Li Xiaoxiao, but he also likes small animals. The big yellow dog raised in his family is his best friend. He follows him to school every day and waits for him at the school gate every day. Later, when the dog died of old age, his father buried him behind the house and asked him and their family to eat old friends who had been for many years. No one could do it; and the conditions of their family were not so bad. But their family is okay, most of the others are poor, and eating dog meat is based on the most basic survival needs. This was indeed the situation in the mountain village. Fang Zhiqiang had no way to avoid it, even though he knew better than anyone else how cruel it was.
Li Xiaoxiao cried, crying very sadly. She only got along with Xiao Xiao for a short time, but she already had deep feelings, and she really couldn't accept such cruel, cold and realistic things.
"Okay, don't cry." Fang Zhiqiang reluctantly handed her a tissue: "I know you will be sad when you talk about it. Just like my cousin. My cousin also likes kittens, puppies and small animals. They raise them. The dog, who dares to move my sister can kill him with a knife, so their family never eats dog meat."
Fang Zhiqiang didn't want to watch Li Xiaoxiao cry so sadly, so he tried a way to tease Li Xiaoxiao: "Hey, I will tell you about my cousin, it's fun."
"My cousin is a natural bun with tears, and she especially likes small animals. When she was a child, she stepped on a frog accidentally, and when she stepped half to death, she cried so sad that she took the frog home for rescue and disinfection. It was bandaged again, but in the end the frog died. So she buried the frog under the vine in her yard and asked me to carve a very small tombstone for the frog. Then the cat at the back gave birth to a cub. After raising a dead one, she cried like something again, buried the kitten under the vine, and still erected a monument; then, we went to dig out the bird’s nest together, and one fell out and it hadn’t hatched. The complete bird is obviously not alive. She had to take it home and raise it, okay. Of course, she died again, and then she cried like something, buried under the vine." Fang Zhiqiang remembered I couldn’t help laughing:
Hey, I’m telling you, my cousin’s grapes are big, sweet, and sweet every year. My uncle is almost mad, and he said that it’s not tasty. There are so many buried underneath. Dead cats and dogs."
Li Xiaoxiao was originally crying. After listening to him, she couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Qiangzi, I don't know if you should cry or laugh."
"To tell you something happy, do you also join in and laugh at my grandfather for a fifty cents?" Fang Zhiqiang said in a very serious manner, "My cousin and I used to be similar to you and Wang Xia. My cousin is my cousin. She is also very fierce and often bullies me, but she is very smart and has a very good academic record. She wrote her composition in the newspaper."
Fang Zhiqiang talked a little bit about his childhood fun, many of which he thought he had already forgotten, but when he told Li Xiaoxiao, he was surprised to find that he had always been in his memory, but he could always ignore it. Don't think about it.
Li Xiaoxiao was led by Fang Zhiqiang, forgetting the sadness just now. She was sometimes surprised and sometimes laughed and listened to Fang Zhiqiang talking about funny things about him and his cousin, and how to tease each other.
"Haha, it's really fun." Li Xiaoxiao burst into tears and laughed, but stopped for a long time, and then asked Fang Zhiqiang: "Your cousin is so smart and has such a good relationship with you. I really want to know her. Why didn’t I see her when I went to your house before, but I certainly didn’t know it was her when I saw it, because I haven’t heard of your funny embarrassment, haha."
However, Fang Zhiqiang didn't smile when Li Xiaoxiao said this with a smile. He took a breath and slowly said, "Of course you won't see her. I haven't seen her in nearly ten years."
"Ah? Why?" Li Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "You have such a good relationship, how come you haven't seen it for so long." She guessed, "Is it because I went to a different place for college entrance examination? Where is she now? The traffic is so developed and the air ticket is not very expensive. If you want to see her, you can still see her."
"University entrance?" Fang Zhiqiang stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, it's because of college entrance examination. She didn't graduate from high school, so she didn't go on studying. Because there are so many children in the family, her younger brothers and sisters have to go to school to eat. My sister has very good grades. If she takes the exam, she will definitely be admitted to college. My uncle said that if she is admitted to college, the family will not be able to afford to eat. For girls, sooner or later, they will be married. The family went in and spent the money for nothing, and gave it to others in the end. What was the picture? So I didn’t let my sister read it. My sister cried for many days, went on a hunger strike, and cried to her parents. ...I tried everything, but it didn't work. Even the school teacher came to find it, but it didn't work. In the end she accepted her fate."
"Later, not long after, she married. The south is a few hundred miles away from us, and it is also in the mountains. It is said that she is nearly ten years older than her. But the bride price is high...Listen to her. I didn’t live very well. I married and gave birth to two or three girls. I suffered from my in-law’s blindness. At that time, I also had family planning and various fines. I was forced to give them back to a daughter. I finally got to have a boy. The baby, a few members of the family, lives very poor. She has to do everything at home in the field, so her mother-in-law still tells her back, saying that she is to blame for not having children. If her first child is a boy, where would it be? So many things behind."
When Fang Zhiqiang said this, his eyes were a little sour. He smoked a cigarette and said dullly: "My sister is also a very strong temper. She always feels that she can't afford to raise her head, and she doesn't want to go back to her family for fear of embarrassment. Besides, it’s not easy to travel all the way. She just had a noon when she arrived, and she left after dinner, and never went to see me at my house. Only the year I was admitted to university, she heard the news , The trustee bought a repeater and gave it to me, because when she was in school, she heard that it helped to learn English faster. She always wanted to buy one, but in the end, all the books were finished... she thought she still had to go to university Studying hard, she thought I still needed a repeater..."
