Substitute bride in 1980 (33)

Patrols are arranged in the village every day, but at three or four o'clock it is when people are falling asleep, and the men on guard are also yawning nonstop and their eyelids are twitching.

Therefore, when the two of them rushed to the river, the sparkling river surface was swaying with shadows of people. Only when the people on duty around the village realized something was wrong, they rang the gong vigorously and shouted:

"Someone escaped..."

"Someone ran along the river..."

"Whose two children ran away..."

The silent night was like water falling into a frying pan, suddenly exploding. Men from every household put on their clothes, grabbed their belongings and ran out.

After a good sleep, they recovered a lot from a hard day's work. They ran very fast one by one, with the summer wind whistling in their ears.

Huanyang turned his head and saw someone running to the entrance of the village, then stopped, took a deep breath and turned to look at Tan Yongnian, "Xiao Yongnian, are you afraid?"

Tan Yongnian pursed his lips tightly and looked at her without nodding or speaking. His black and white eyes seemed to be accusing something.

Huanyang felt guilty, so he took off his shoes, tied them to the rope, and squatted down to quickly take off his straw sandals. Looking at the little guy who used to have thin skin and tender flesh, he had bruises all over his body at such a young age, and old wounds were all new.

Hurt, she thought of her brother who had been implicated by her in reality, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I will definitely take you out!"

As she spoke, she hugged him tightly and jumped into the cool, fast river together.

Neither of them were fat, and three strings of empty wine barrels dragged them just enough to keep their heads above the water and float. They could also be slightly separated from the rocks along the way, and they were moving rapidly along the direction of the river.

The villagers were fast, but the depth of the river was unknown and it was late at night with poor visibility. At this time, no one dared to risk their lives by going down to the river to fish for people.

After all, he didn't escape from their home, so even if everyone helped, they wouldn't do their best.

When the old lady and Uncle Zhong's family arrived, the two little boys were nowhere to be seen.

Everyone concealed their joy at the misfortune and comforted them: "Auntie, those two children jumped into the river. The adults don't dare to go into the river. They are afraid that they will be in bad luck..."

"Your girl is so courageous. Not only did she escape by herself, she also dared to jump in with the Zhong family's baby..."

"These two children really can't think about it. Why should they seek death when they can live a good life... In fact, it's better to leave, so as not to go back and worry about other things..."

The old lady sat on the ground and patted her thighs and began to howl: "My Anyang, why are you so obsessed with thinking about it? Your parents just walked away and you jumped into the river... How can I explain to your parents..."

The little girl from the eldest family who followed him ran away and hid behind him with a guilty conscience. He must have talked too much during the day and scared his little cousin.

But Uncle Zhong came to his senses and gritted his teeth and asked the old lady if she wanted a son. He asked the family to either give him a smart and obedient son, or give him five hundred yuan!

In July, the river water in the mountains was also covered with a thick chill. Huanyang hugged Tan Yongnian tightly, shivering from the cold, but hoped to use his own body temperature to warm him.

In the mountain forest, there are many unknown rivers rushing down from the mountains, and then they gather together, becoming more and more turbulent.

The buckets they carried were an obstacle to landing, but if they were discarded, they would not be able to withstand the force of the river water.

Huanyang twined three strings of buckets together, thirty buckets like a small boat, and he was tightly surrounded by the buckets in the middle.

She lifted Tan Yongnian up and confessed tremblingly: "Xiao Yongnian, I don't know how long I can hold on, but you must live well..."

"Don't be afraid. My sister is just tired and wants to sleep. After dawn, when you meet someone, you can shout for help... Well, when my sister wakes up, she will probably forget what happened now. You are so smart, remember to find a good man to marry your sister.

Already..."

In her confusion, she seemed to see them hit a rock, Xiao Yongnian's forehead was broken, and blood flowed out...

"No!" She sat up suddenly and gasped for air.

What she saw was the familiar furnishings of the house. She hammered her head in annoyance. Why did she always do bad things with good intentions when saving people? Why couldn't she be perfect?

I don’t know if such a big hole will have any impact on the child. What if he is knocked unconscious?

After all, eight-year-old Tan Yongnian did not return to Beijing after escaping from that small mountain village!

Hearing the sound of someone approaching, Huanyang immediately lay down again. Fortunately, there was no one around her just now, otherwise she would be "shattered to pieces". How could she bounce so flexibly?

"Sir, I bought pigeons and dried mushrooms early in the morning and asked me to make soup for you." Aunt Liu knocked on the door, came in with warm water, wiped Huanyang's face and hands, and shared what happened early in the morning.

"Tan Yelin and Xiaojun got up earlier than the husband. After washing up, they went to the milk station to collect goods. I heard that each of them was responsible for more than 100 households and more than 200 bottles of milk... The two of them first delivered the bungalow... building

When they were there, they took turns watching downstairs, each climbing a building... They pedaled around our family's courtyard in a circle for two hours. They were very tired... carrying their bags with their meals in their mouths.

It’s school…”

Huanyang smiled and nodded: "Don't the children in the countryside get up early in the morning to cut grass and collect firewood, or feed pigs and fetch water?"

"They are small, but they can do whatever they can. Only through hardship can they understand the difficulties of others. This is of great benefit to the development of their good character."

"What's more, they have business acumen since they were young and will benefit a lot throughout their lives. At least they will not be burdened by money..."

Aunt Liu smiled and said: "Anyang, you are really a smart child. As the saying goes, God is jealous of talented people, that's why you have suffered so much."

"But I think the Tan family is pretty good, especially my husband who cares about you very much and doesn't want you to suffer a little injustice. It's a blessing after all the hardships..."

Huanyang looked slightly dazed. Yes, because Tan Yongnian took care of her forcefully, she came to this world without feeling hesitant about changing places.

At noon, Tan Yelin and Tan Liangjun rushed back. They drank a lot of water first and did not bother to eat. They loaded their things on tricycles and rode to the gate of the compound. They borrowed a table from the guard.

Put this guy aside.

There are several bottles of fresh milk on the table, as well as letter paper and pens, so that someone can record information when ordering milk. They also put on the egg rolls baked last night!

Aunt Liu had already mixed the batter for them. Now Tan Liangjun was sitting in front of the briquettes stove, placing the iron spatula on the briquettes stove.

When the griddle is preheated, he scoops a small spoonful of batter from the bucket, pours it on the griddle, presses it, and the roll is ready in twenty seconds. The aroma of eggs and milk dominates the door.

It was just when the children were hungry after school that they would gather around and slurp their saliva, and the parents would not move away no matter how hard they dragged them away.
