When Xia Xiang talked about her experience during this period, her face still looked frightened.
"After the officials arrested my parents, the house we lived in was also taken away. Our siblings were kicked out.
People in Ping'an Town who knew us didn't have a good attitude toward us. We wanted to buy food but couldn't find a place willing to sell it.
Fortunately, my sister was smart and took advantage of the chaos when the official came over to hide some broken silver in her pocket. Then she took us on a bus that was used by passing merchants to go to Changshan County.
Then we rented a small house in the county and made a living by helping others starch clothes and quilts. Originally, the three of us could barely make ends meet like this.
But Xiaobao has been pampered by my mother since he was a child. He was frightened that day. He was so young that he couldn't sleep well for several nights. He caught cold while kicking the quilt. We first used the method you taught to prepare medicine for him. But he
I dislike the bitterness of the medicine and refuse to drink it. I am now very ill.
I can't afford it. We spent all our money to treat him. The rent is about to be due. The landlord is afraid that Xiaobao will die in his house, so he will evict us before the rent is due. We
We are really desperate. We can't go back to Cuizhu Village.
My sister heard someone said that Sister Qingya has a big future and is going to the northwest. I thought that there was no one in the county who was willing to help us. So I thought of giving it a try regardless. So I came here shamelessly.
If Sister Qingya refuses to extend your hand, she plans to sell herself and become a slave in a wealthy family. But this is not easy. In the past few days, several local gangsters have come to harass us sisters.
Fortunately, Sister Qingya, you saved us regardless of the past grievances. You are our savior and reborn parent. Sister Qingya, I will do my best in the future and do my duty as a slave!"
After Xia Xiang finished speaking, the entire carriage was silent. Although the girls in the carriage were all from the village, they had experienced hardships since childhood. They all thought they had some understanding of the difficulties in the world. But like
After all, they have never experienced this kind of experience like Xia Xiang's sisters, or they have never heard of it.
Of course, although their sisters' plight is pitiful, they have not forgotten that it was the greed of the Huaihua couple that caused their innocent children to suffer.
After Zhuqing heard this, she also sighed. She was a human being again. After hearing Xia Xiang's experience, she couldn't help but feel lucky that she had not let hatred blind her mind and conscience, and saved the poor girls.
"Xia Xiang, I don't care how much hardship you have suffered in the past. From now on, I just want you to do the job I assigned you well, that's enough. Follow me, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. As for
If our lives are in danger, no one can be sure if we go to the northwest battlefield, we can say that we all have our destiny." Zhu Qing said calmly to this poor girl.
There are many poor people in this world, and not everyone can be saved. If you want to be saved, the person being saved must first have the awareness to save himself.
In modern times, Zhuqing is engaged in medical work and has seen too many human tragedies and comedies in the hospital.
There are many people who look very pitiful and sympathetic, but in fact, they always vividly interpret the sentence of lamenting their misfortune and being angry without arguing.
Therefore, Zhuqing did not put too much pity on this girl, because pity was of no use to her at all. Only by stimulating her own fighting spirit and working hard can she have the possibility of happiness in her future life.
"Yes, Sister Qingya, I will work hard." When Xia Xiang heard what Zhu Qing said, she quickly nodded her head.
Zhu Qing has helped their sisters more than once, and she already knows Zhu Qing's principles of dealing with things.
The people she helps are all people who can be helped.
Then, Zhu Qing took out the dry food Wang carefully prepared for her from the bag she carried with her and handed it to Xia Xiang.
"You haven't eaten anything today, right? You can eat this cake first. I'll put some food on your stomach. We'll eat later, and we'll probably have to go to the next town."
Xia Xiang accepted it with some embarrassment. Zhu Qing obviously heard her protest with her stomach growling just now.
Seeing Zhuqing take out dry food, Wutong also took out the water bottle he carried with him, poured a bamboo cup of water and handed it over: "Drink some water to moisten your throat."
There are not many other things in Cuizhu Village, but there are a lot of bamboos. Therefore, most of the things they carry with them are bamboo products.
Like the bamboo cup that Wutong took out casually, from the perspective of Zhuqing's modern people, it is completely worthy of the category of handicrafts.
But the people in Cuizhu Village were not surprised.
Zhuqing once proposed that Li Zheng develop bamboo products in Xia Cuizhu Village, but Li Zheng refused on the grounds that he was not doing his job properly.
He felt that these were just the most common gadgets and could not make a scene. So he did not take Zhuqing's words seriously. Instead, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to Zhuqing's mint planting business.
As a qualified farmer, he believes that only by cultivating the land well and asking for harvests from the land can it be considered the right path.
Although Li Zheng rejected the idea of ​​developing bamboo products, Zhu Qing was not discouraged. She felt that it was expensive to leave her hometown, so she specially asked Wutong and the other girls from Cuizhu Village to bring a lot of gadgets commonly used in the village.
The more interesting the better.
She thought that in the northwest, maybe these things could attract some business opportunities one day?
So Wutong and the other die-hard fans of Zhuqing brought a lot of these things with them.
Xia Xiang filled her stomach and sat in the corner behind Zhu Qing. She was silent all the way.
Several girls slowly left their hometown. Although they still felt a lot of novelty. But after all, it was the first time they left their hometown, so it was inevitable for them to feel melancholy.
As the car moved forward, the wheels made a rhythmic squeaking sound. The monotonous sound made them all start to feel drowsy.
"We've arrived at Liuxian Town. Let's get off the car together, girls. Let's take a break before heading on." I don't know how much time passed before the voice of the golden guard came from outside.
Zhuqing and the others suddenly woke up.
"We've actually arrived at Liuxian Town! We've already arrived at the neighboring county!" Wutong's grandfather is Li Zheng, and he has more opportunities to go out, so she knows a little bit about the geographical location.
"Xia Xiang, let's go, let's have dinner. I'll take you to a clothing store and buy you two changes of clothes." Zhu Qing touched his face and asked the girls in the car to do the same.
"Touch your face first. It's cold outside. Go down and let the air blow in. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Xia Xiang was pulled out of the carriage by Zhu Qing, still a little unbelievable about her fate.
The day before, I was still struggling on the edge of having no food and clothing. At this moment, I was about to have new clothes.
