Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

   A flash of lightning struck, followed by a rumble of thunder, the girl lying on the bed frowned, and a blast of thunder rang in her ears, and she couldn't help but jump up.

  Qu Weizhen looked out the window in cold sweat, and couldn't help frowning. She didn't know if it was raining at home. If it was also scared by such a heavy rain, eldest sister and the others could live in the new house.

   Her mind was immersed in the nightmare just now.

   There is also such a heavy rain in her memory. She was only five years old at the time. This may be the earliest thing she can remember. Maybe because it is too deep, her memory is particularly clear.

  Although she remembers things late, she still remembers that she had to do a lot of things when she was a child. At that time, it rained for several days, and the pigs in the family did not eat.

   Her father went out, and her mother drove the three of them to the vegetable garden early in the morning to pick vegetables for the pigs to eat.

  The three of them went out in the rain, and finally came back with two baskets of vegetables. When they entered the door, they saw her mother dragging the fourth sister and threw them out.

   Daidi was only a little over three years old at that time. Because of his thinness, he was about the same as a two-year-old child and could easily be picked up.

Mother Qu dragged her by the collar and pulled it out. When she got to the door, she picked it up and threw it into the yard. The fourth sister was completely frightened. dare not move.

   She was only five years old at the time, and she was stunned, thinking her sister was dead, and stood on the spot stiffly.

   It was the eldest sister who reacted first, dropped the basket and rushed up to pick up the fourth sister.

   Her mother rushed up and slapped the fourth sister into the mud again, scolding her angrily. Only then did they know that Mother Qu went to the kitchen to prepare food and asked Dai Di to look at her little brother, but she didn't watch and let him fall off the kang.

Qu Mu was furious, pointed at the dumb Dai Di and scolded, "What's the use of giving birth to you, even if you look at your younger brother, you can't look at anything that loses money, if you knew that you should be buried when you were born, so you don't have to eat anything. don't work..."

  Tai Di was obviously frightened by her mother, and sat down in the mud shivering with a blank expression on her face.

  The rain fell on her body, it was icy cold, and there were thunderstorms in the sky. Qu Weizhen was very afraid of thunder and rain, but what scared her even more was her mother.

   She walked up almost subconsciously and said to her mother, "My brother seems to be crying..."

   Mother Qu came back to her senses, gave Dai Di a stern look, and then went into the house to see her son.

   At that time, there was no new house in their family, only an old and low mud house. It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. Qu Weizhen subconsciously stepped forward and dragged her sister to the kitchen.

  The mother was coaxing the younger brother in the house, and the four sisters were nestled in the corner of the kitchen and looked at each other, not daring to move.

   The water dripped down from his body, and no one dared to go back to the house to change clothes.

   In the end, the eldest sister helped everyone wring out some clothes, and then sat on the kitchen floor and watched the heavy rain outside.

  Qu Weizhen cautiously stepped forward and hugged her silly little sister, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, there is a sister."

  Tai Di didn't respond at all, the elder sister glanced at it and whispered, "She was frightened, so she has to call her soul."

  The second sister whispered: "The soul must be eaten, and my mother will definitely not agree."

   Qu Weizhen, who was only five years old, couldn't help crying and asked angrily, "Isn't the fourth sister born to her?"

   The eldest sister and the second sister obviously didn't understand the third sister's thoughts, and answered affirmatively: "Of course it was born by the mother. How can we raise the children we picked up?"

  Qu Weizhen couldn't help hugging the fourth sister and cried repressedly. At that moment, she knew from the bottom of her heart that they were not only different from her younger brother, but her mother might not treat them as blood relatives at all.

   On that day, Daidi was finally beaten by her parents again, and she didn't take care of her younger brother.

   She is about the same age as the fourth sister, the eldest sister and the second sister have more work to do, so she usually brings her younger brothers and sisters.

   She clearly knew how much this incident had an impact on Dai Di. She stayed for more than ten years before she slowly calmed down, and only then did she dare to speak, and only then did she begin to see that her parents were no longer trembling.

   But aside from their four sisters, their parents didn't know this, because they never paid attention to the situation of their four daughters.

   But even if she was willing to speak again, her courage became particularly small, and she became clinging to the three of them and her sisters from time to time, daring not to stay alone, let alone stay with her mother alone.

  Pandi was enlightened from then on, as if she had suddenly opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, she suddenly grew up a lot.

   She began to pay attention to the words and deeds of her parents, and then looked at the words and deeds of other adults in the village, and then silently compared them in her heart. She had many, many questions in her heart. She was very curious. There were so many differences among the adults in their village. What about the adults outside?

   They will also treat girls as livestock like her parents, and then raise them or marry them for dowry or sell them as girls? Will it still be the same as the old aunt next door, the daughter can eat the same food as her mother when eating, or even better; when it is raining, I would rather go hunting for pig dishes by myself than drive my daughter there?

   Or, like Uncle Zhang’s family at the end of the village, gave birth to a girl and drowned himself, and then gave birth to a son?

Pandi is very curious about the outside world, but she can't get out, even her father will only enter the city for a long time. Beat, she might get nothing.

   So she held back and kept all the words in her heart, then looked around curiously with her eyes open, absorbing all the knowledge she could get in this limited resource.

   So she especially likes to go to the head of the village to sit with the old people and listen to their gossip.

   She can learn a lot.

  For example, it is better to fertilize the soil before ploughing for the second time than to fertilize the soil after planting; she also knew that they could not grow vegetables before and after the spring equinox, so they had to **** the vegetable field first. Because during that time, it may be cold in spring, and the vegetable seeds will freeze to death, otherwise there will be too much rain, and the roots will rot...

   In addition to the work in the fields, she also knows that there are landlords and officials in the outside world, and the daughters of those rich families are called misses. I heard that they can eat dry food every day without having to work in the fields;

She also learned to count with some old people in the village who often went out. She only remembered them after reading them once, counting from one to ten, and then learned arithmetic with them, only then did she know that there are eleven on top of ten, and bigger numbers...

  Many people in the village can't count numbers beyond ten, let alone arithmetic. But she learned to count. At first, she counted with her fingers and toes. After she learned that method, she used wooden sticks and stones instead.

   She wrote down all the numbers she counted, and over time, when someone mentioned it, she could quickly memorize the results.

   Pandi is very proud of this, and feels that she can become a capable person in the future, and even if she is sold by her parents, her life will not be too difficult.

   And four years later, she met the teacher who came here to stay overnight, and only then did she know that there are people like them in the world, in addition to the young ladies mentioned by the old people, there are people like teachers.

   She only thought that the teacher was very knowledgeable at the time. She wanted to learn some skills from her, such as deeper arithmetic, so she followed her younger brother closely.

   In fact, she didn't dare to think about taking a teacher as a teacher. She just wanted to learn more from her while she was sleeping, and inquire about the outside world.

   But when the teacher's admiring gaze fell on her, she couldn't help but want to be better and better. There was an expectation in her heart that kept taking root, trying to burst her heart out.

   She felt that this was wrong, because at the age of nine she already knew how much she expected, and how miserable she would fall in the end.

   But she did not expect that God would favor her so much, and she really let the teacher take a fancy to her.

   At that time, she only had one idea. No matter how much she paid, she would leave with the teacher. If she left here, she might have a completely different life.

   Now, she has left there, and she does have a different life. She feels very lucky, but also very painful.

  The current life is so different from the previous one, it is like splitting a woman in half, she feels that the previous life was a nightmare, although it is real, it seems to be very far away from her;

But she also feels that the current life is a beautiful dream, and the previous life is real. It seems that just now she was still living in Qujia Village, hunched over to hunt hogweed, and this beautiful dream may wake up at any time. .

   She used to think that everyone in the world was like the people in her village, except that the rich were richer than the village chief, and the poor were poorer than her family.

   But only after she walked out of that village did she realize how big the difference was and how low her vision was in the past.

   She doesn't know what her future will be like, so she can only work hard every day to learn the knowledge that she can come into contact with, thinking that even if she wakes up from her beautiful dream one day, as long as she can remember the knowledge she learned from her dream, it will be enough.

  Teacher said that it is better to rely on yourself than anyone else in this world. Knowledge is yours only if you learn from your own mind. This is what no one can take away or plunder.

  Qu Weizhen listened to the pouring rain outside, moved her numb hands and feet a little, but couldn't help but get up and look at the box she stuffed in the closet.

   The box contains the money she and her brother saved.

   She and her younger brother have two taels of monthly silver every month. They eat and live at the teacher's house. They try not to spend a penny indiscriminately and save all the money.

  Because these money are just some food and some toys for them now, but for the sisters at home, this may be their life-saving money.

   She didn't think her parents would find a good home for them, so she had to prepare money and "buy" them from her parents.

   She is doing well now, and she hopes that they will have a better life in the future.
