This incident was as sudden as lightning flashing across a sunny day.
It was so sudden that both girls were unprepared.
At that time, Nia and Lisa were planning to lean against the door and take a nap until Federer brought the horse over.
Nia's mother Yuffie was still resting in the room behind them, and the two girls, who were waiting and had nothing to do, began to wonder about Yuffie's current situation.
In order not to disturb her, he carefully looked into the room through the crack in the door.
I saw Yuffie lying flat on the bed with her eyes closed tightly, looking very peaceful.
During this period of time, Yuffie's spirit had been in a state of fatigue. Under the influence of the drug, she was much more lethargic than usual.
"Being a mother is really tiring..."
Nia temporarily moved her eyes away from her mother's sleepy face, thinking of her mother's performance these days, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course the mother is tired, especially when she is about to give birth to a baby. It is said that the mother will be in great pain at that time."
Lisa bluntly confirmed Nia's statement.
"How much does it hurt?"
Nia's curiosity was aroused and she asked. After all, she had never been exposed to these things.
Their family moved to a relatively remote house in the village, and there were not many neighbors around. In the two years since Nia and the others came to this village, no woman from the surrounding families had ever done this.
And in the place where she lived before, Nia had never seen it.
"It's probably like being pulled by several horses at the same time. I've heard that too."
"Does it hurt that much?"
Listening to Lisa's description of the pain, Nia couldn't help but raise her voice. At this time, she realized that her voice was a bit loud and covered her mouth.
Nia looked at her mother through the window. Her mother frowned slightly, as if she was disturbed by her voice just now. Now Nia did not dare to speak loudly.
"Yes, when the uncle next door's daughter gave birth, I was in the house. I could hear her voice through two walls. Just hearing her screams hurt."
"Ah, is that so? But why is it so painful? Isn't it a very happy thing to be a mother?"
Nia glanced at her mother lying on the bed again. There was a bit more worry in her blue eyes, and her relaxed spirit began to become tense again.
Lisa squatted by the door again, answering Nia's doubts with a lonely face, she said: "How can I be happy? I just feel that growing up is too tiring, and there are too many things to think about every day. If I can
I would rather not grow up."
"But, there's nothing we can do about it, right? We all have to grow up in the end, and we can do more things when we grow up, right?"
Nia couldn't help but refute Lisa's unrealistic idea. She didn't understand why Lisa didn't want to grow up. At least she had always hoped to grow up as soon as possible.
"But Nia, have you ever thought about this?"
In Lisa's eyes, the girl Nia almost grew up in a honeypot.
Lisa never thought she really had anything in common with Nia.
Although Lisa's family is not ordinary, unfortunately this "unusual" is not what ordinary people want. This "unordinary" can even be described with the word "unfortunate".
Lisa has an older brother who ran away from home, and two younger brothers who are not sensible.
Her father was originally a medicine farmer, and the herbal medicines that grew well in the back mountain brought good profits to their family. It can be said that when her father was still alive, Lisa and her family were doing well.
But Lisa's father never came back after going into the mountains. He disappeared, and the whole village searched for him but still found nothing.
Lisa's mother also became more and more haggard because of her father's disappearance. In addition, she had to take care of the trivial matters at home, which made her sick from overwork.
Although the skinny Lisa has shouldered a lot of the weight from her mother's shoulders, she cannot change the current situation of the family's decline.
Lisa longed for the protection of her relatives, but unfortunately she could not find anyone else who would protect her except her frail mother.
How many times happier is Nia, who seems to have everything she wants in front of her, than she is?
Although Lisa was jealous in her heart, she was more filled with envy and blessing for Nia.
"Well?!"
Facing Lisa's question, Nia found that she couldn't answer it for a while.
"We will also be mothers in the future, and we will become adults in the end." Lisa continued, "But Nia, have you ever thought that we will also face the same things as mothers?"
"What happened?"
"Meet someone you like, and then..."
Then……
No one took the next step, but they all knew what was coming next.
"Um, but um, I...we still have a long time before that day, right?"
Nia blushed and hesitated when speaking. Because she really hadn't thought much about this future. After all, neither her father nor her mother had ever talked about it with her.
Even if she ever mentioned it, they would cover it up vaguely with other topics.
"My mother has already talked to me about this."
Lisa pursed her lips and smiled softly.
Maybe this is a new way for her to get what she wants, although...it's a helpless choice.
Although Lisa is young in the family, she is already the eldest child.
As the eldest daughter, Lisa's mother planned a path for her without having to stay in a poor family.
"What?!"
Nia's mouth opened wide with a look of confusion on her face, obviously she had not yet reacted to this impactful news.
"It's great that you haven't done it yet, Nia. I'm finally one step ahead of you, Nia."
Seeing Nia's performance, Lisa covered her mouth and tried not to laugh, but she still let out a little giggle.
"Eh?!"
After reacting, Nia shook the shoulders of the girl in front of her tightly, and her dexterous mouth spewed out a bunch of questions like a barrage of questions:
"Who is that person? Where is he from? Is he from the village? What does he look like? Is he easy to get along with?"
"Uh? I'm going to faint!" Lisa held her head and finally got out of the hands of the excited Nia, "Can you stop first? I'll take it easy first."
"Uh, okay."
Nia retracted her hand and tried to suppress her excitement, but she was still looking forward to Lisa's next description.
"That person..."
Lisa cleared her throat and took a look at her friend's reaction at the moment. It had to be said that Nia was very satisfied with her at the moment. This matter had actually been going on for a while, but she had been suppressing it and not telling Nia,
The purpose is to give Nia a "surprise" one day.
"It's a boy one year younger than me."
"Eh? Really? I thought it would be pretty big."
"Yes, I regarded him as my younger brother when we first met."
"What's he like? Does he have a good temper?"
"I'm very healthy, a little clingy, and easy to get along with."
Lisa slowly recalled the boy's appearance and described it to Nia.
"We have a flour mill at home and a bakery on Ward Street in town."
"That's great!" Nia sighed and asked, "What about his family? Does he have any brothers or sisters?"
"He has two older sisters and one younger sister. His family treats me very well."
Lisa didn't have many opinions on this matter. Although she didn't want to leave home so soon, it was indeed difficult to find a family with such good conditions. Although there are legal restrictions in Camoder, men are 18 and women are 14.
They can get married, but there is no limit on the age of the parties entering into the marriage contract.
"Isn't that really good?"
Nia didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. In fact, she had no specific idea of many of the things Lisa said. She only knew that Lisa, her friend, might leave her and leave the village in the near future.
"Yes, if it weren't for dad's previous acquaintance, maybe he wouldn't have come to our door?"
This proposal can be regarded as giving some relief to Lisa's family in difficult conditions. Because Mr. Sendel, as the head of the family, has a very good relationship with his father, and the two families have actually interacted with each other before, and they are not too close to each other.
Strange. Although there is not much contact between family members, now that Lisa's family is in trouble, the Sendel family, who are in a good financial situation, have proposed this type of assistance with additional conditions.
They made this request to Lisa's mother, which was not inappropriate at all. Her mother had no reason to refuse, but Lisa... could only accept it.
"Then, will you come back?"
Nia asked a little lonely. She knew this. If this matter was settled, Lisa would be picked up soon. Moreover, the distance between the town and the village was not short. It would take a lot of time, and it would definitely not be possible.
Come back often.
"Yes, although the bakery over there is very busy, I will still come back occasionally. After all..."
Lisa paused, then reached out and pinched Nia's cheek.
"Isn't my best friend still here?"
"Pfft! That's right." Nia laughed again, and then she changed the subject, "But..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Lisa blinked, looking confused.
"Why do you keep pinching me?"
Yes, Lisa's little hands have never moved away from Nia's face since just now. She ravaged Nia's beautiful face and kneaded it into various shapes.
"Oh, Nia's face is so soft? I don't even want to move away."
Lisa giggled and playfully increased the strength in her hands.
"Okay you! Hey!"
Nia knew that Lisa was deliberately making trouble with her, so she unceremoniously put her hand on Lisa's face.
The two girls' hands were rubbing each other's faces, and the comfortable and hilarious atmosphere made them almost forget their own situation. It seemed that they were still as usual, they could forget their worries unscrupulously and pursue the happiness between them and their friends.
time.
"Nia! Look at Aunt Yuffie!"
Lisa's scream brought everything back to reality.
"Mother!"
Nia looked back, and saw that Yuffie's face in the room had lost its original serenity. Her eyes were wide open, she began to breathe hard, and her bulging belly was also rising and falling.
