"My dear, I've worked hard for you again today. It's all because of my grandfather's poor health. You still have to take care of me at such a young age." Zhang Ruicheng sat in a wheelchair, shaking his head and sighing.
Hearing what Zhang Ruicheng said, Qiao Jing stopped holding the basket.
He has a face that is clearly only in his teens, but is far more mature than his peers.
"Grandpa, don't say that. Xiaojing is not tired. Xiaojing is very strong and can do many, many jobs. Grandpa, you used to take care of me. Now that Xiaojing has grown up, it is time for Xiaojing to be filial to you.
Already."
The more Qiao Jing said this, the more Zhang Ruicheng felt distressed.
This child is really pitiful. When he returned from the army, he heard the cry of a baby in a snowy day. He walked along the road and saw Qiao Jing, who was covered by heavy snow and only half of his swaddling clothes were exposed.
At that time, he was thinking about what kind of parents could be so cruel. The child was apparently just one month old and he threw her into a snowdrift.
Even if she is not raised alive, she should not be thrown into the snow and left to fend for herself. At any rate, she should be thrown into a place where there are people.
Listening to the increasingly faint cry of the baby, he really couldn't bear to let such a young child disappear from the world like this.
So he took the vegetables he had just bought from the market out of the basket and put the baby in it.
He took off his cotton-padded jacket and covered the little guy.
Later he found out that this little guy had a serious infectious disease. At that time, the people in the village advised him to throw her away quickly and throw her into the deep mountains and forests to avoid harming himself and other people.
He himself was a lonely old man, and he thought that he would only cause trouble if he did so, and he could not cause trouble to others, so he moved to a place far away from the village.
Later, he invited many doctors to treat her. Fortunately, Huangtian paid off and the child did not deserve to die, and her illness was finally cured.
This child has suffered too much, and I don’t know if it is because of this experience that the little guy is particularly sensible, and many things have never worried him.
It's a bit embarrassing to say that the little guy has been taking care of him for the past two years.
Just when Zhang Ruicheng was recalling the past, Qiao Jing's voice sounded.
"Grandpa, it's getting late. I'm going to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables first. Later I'll go to the market to buy two fish and cook you some crucian carp soup to drink and give you some nutrition."
"Hey, okay, okay, don't work too hard. Just be careful."
Although Zhang Ruicheng knew very well that Qiao Jing was very smart and had basically never suffered a loss, he still couldn't help but give instructions.
"Okay, Grandpa, I understand."
Qiao Jing was carrying the vegetable basket, and as soon as she arrived at the vegetable garden, she found that something was not right in the vegetable garden.
"what happened?"
Qiao Jing came to the vegetable garden and looked at the damaged vegetable garden gate, her face suddenly darkened.
This vegetable garden is the hard work of her grandfather Zhang, who is busy in it all day long, and of course she also helps.
Now the vegetable garden has obviously been destroyed by someone, and there are many footprints. The footprints are not big, so it seems that children came to steal tomatoes and watermelons in the vegetable garden.
Qiao Jin put the basket down and went to the place where the watermelons and tomatoes were planted. Sure enough, there were signs that they had just been picked.
It is so abominable that even a child cannot forgive it!
She wanted to see which family of children came to rebel in their vegetable garden.
Picking fruits is just picking fruits, so why destroy the vegetable garden like this?
On the second day, Qiao Jing arrived near the vegetable garden early and hid behind the big tree and waited.
She felt that since those children had tasted the benefits every day, they would definitely come back the next day.
As she expected, after a while, she heard a few cheers and laughter.
"The watermelons they grow are really delicious, much better than the ones we grow at home."
"Yes, yes, there are also small tomatoes, which are sweet and moist. I don't know how they grow them. They all look similar. Why are theirs so delicious?"
"Who knows, no one is watching anyway, so we will eat up all their tomatoes and watermelons today." The child who told the truth was the leader of the three of them and the king of children in their village.
Being mischievous everywhere, either stealing other people's watermelons today, or ripping off other people's corns tomorrow.
"It turns out he was the one who took the lead." Qiao Jing said to himself in his heart.
This kid's name is Lin Mian, and he is a notoriously naughty kid. Because he is very close to their home, Qiao Jing often sees Lin Mian and his mother chasing after him with a broom.
This naughty kid doesn't go to school all day long, skipping classes every three days, quarreling with his parents every day, and leading other children in the village to do bad things everywhere.
He had never offended her before and had nothing to do with her, but now he was stealing things into their vegetable garden, so she must teach him a lesson.
Lin Yan came to the vegetable garden, pushed the locked door, and roared impatiently.
"Really, I managed to dismantle it yesterday and then put it back on again. Isn't this a waste of my energy?"
After Lin Yan finished speaking, he started to dismantle the door.
"Stop, who gave you the courage to demolish other people's vegetable gardens?" Qiao Jing quickly walked out from behind the tree.
"Not good! I've been discovered!"
When the other two children saw this situation, they turned around and ran away. Only Lin Yu stayed where he was, showing no signs of fear.
"What's the point of being afraid of a little girl? There are so many of us but we can't beat her. Don't say there are too many of us. We are all men, and she is a woman. Anyone can defeat her."
I can knock him down."
The other two children stopped immediately after hearing what Lin Yan said.
"That's right. Why should we be afraid of her?"
"That's right, look at how thin and frail she is, a gust of wind can blow her away.
Also, I heard from my mother that she was thrown into the snow not long after she was born and contracted a strange infectious disease that would kill her, yet she still wants to fight us."
Several people gained courage as they talked, and one of them, a fat child, rolled up his sleeves and came to Qiao Jing directly.
"I tell you, I can kill a dog with one punch, do you believe it? Now pick me tomatoes and watermelons, and I won't beat you today."
"You want to do something to me?"
Facing the threat of the fat kid, Qiao Jing didn't show any fear on her face. She just stood there calmly and looked at him expressionlessly.
The way Qiao Jing remained motionless seemed to them that he was intimidated by them.
"That's right! I'm going to beat you up, unless you bring the tomatoes and watermelons over to you. Otherwise, your grandpa won't be able to recognize you!"
