Zhao Yiyun was shocked, took several steps back in disbelief, and weakly held the door.
"Am I wrong? Shouldn't I escape?"
As soon as she said an inaudible word, she staggered around and left, leaving only a desolate back, which made people feel distressed.
Zhou Baoer stared blankly, then turned pale with fright and turned to the people around him.
"Sister Caixia, I just felt that my aunt is full of sadness, guilt, sorrow and pain. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Sun Caixia curled her lips, shook her head and said.
"No need. At this time, my mother would rather be alone."
Zhou Baoer opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief.
"How do you know so well?"
Sun Caixia pouted and said in despair: "Because I have encountered it many times."
Zhou Baoer was still a little worried, and then asked: "What will happen?"
Sun Caixia shook her head and said decisively: "No, my mother cherishes her life more than anyone else."
"oh!"
Zhou Baoer nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said again.
"By the way, every time I see your mother, I think she is so beautiful!"
As soon as Sun Caixia heard these words, her original sadness disappeared immediately. She raised her head high and said forgetfully.
"Of course, my mother is the most beautiful in the whole country. Everyone says that it took eight lifetimes for my father to marry my mother."
Zhou Baoer nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "I think so too. I feel like your mother is like a fairy in legend."
Sun Caixia smiled triumphantly and said happily.
"Then I will be a little fairy, and I will be as beautiful as my mother in the future."
Zhou Baoer looked at the person opposite him up and down, nodded in agreement, and continued.
"Sister Caixia, you are so good-looking, you will definitely be the same when you grow up."
When Sun Caixia heard this, she turned around in a circle in ecstasy. Her beautiful floral skirt drew an arc in the air and fell to her feet.
That bright smile and cute face really look like the golden boy in the legend. It seems that if you are not careful, you will fly to the sky again.
Zhou Baoer rolled his eyes slightly, said something disgusting, and asked again.
"Sister Caixia, stop being so pretty. Let me ask you, can you read and write?"
Sun Caixia shook her head and said angrily.
"No, no one taught me how to read."
Zhou Baoer was a little worried and said with a concerned look.
"Then you have to find a way to study hard in the future, otherwise you will definitely fall behind many people and many steps behind."
Sun Caixia nodded and said solemnly.
"I understand. Wait until I go ask my mother to take some time to teach me how to read and write."
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Zhou Baoer asked quickly.
"Wait a minute, your mother can read and write, so why doesn't she teach you?"
Sun Caixia opened her palms and was speechless.
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Zhou Baoer seemed to realize something, and said with pity on his face
"Sister Caixia, thank you for your hard work."
Sun Caixia felt that something was wrong with this and said angrily.
"What are you thinking? It's not hard for me at all."
Zhou Baoer still looked at her with pity and said, "As long as you are happy."
Sun Caixia was furious and explained hurriedly.
"I said, Bao'er, don't think so wildly. That's not the case at all. My mother still loves me very much."
Zhou Baoer didn't believe this and stabbed him casually.
"Then why doesn't she teach you how to read and write?"
Sun Caixia's aura suddenly shrank, and she said very aggrievedly.
"Apart from this incident, my mother is very good to me."
Zhou Baoer tilted his head and gave an example word for word.
"But my father, my second uncle, and my third uncle taught me how to read when they had time. I am two years younger than you, and I have already learned the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic."
Sun Caixia sighed at a young age and explained again.
"It's really not what you think. I heard from my grandfather that my mother had her own reasons."
Zhou Baoer shook his head and confirmed the fact that Caixia's mother didn't like Caixia. However, because Sister Caixia argued so hard, she had to give up her wish to win.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. Let's go out and play."
When Sun Caixia heard this, she immediately became happy and agreed.
"Okay, okay, let's go together. After we go to Huai'an Academy to go to school, we may not have time to play."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two little sisters jumped out of the room holding hands. Then, they walked through the yard with a big tree, walked the long country road with smiles on their faces, and arrived at the nearby river bank.
Zhou Baoer grabbed the little sister's hand, pointed into the distance happily, and said.
"Sister Caixia, look, they are playing over there, let's go there together."
Sun Caixia nodded and said happily: "Okay, let's go."
Zhou Baoer sniffed and said a little regretfully.
"I seem to smell roasted bird eggs, but they're a little burnt."
Sun Caixia disagreed and said with a smile.
"It tastes delicious when it's burnt. Let's go and taste it."
Zhou Baoer nodded and walked forward side by side.
Before she even got close, Sun Caixia yelled and said.
"What are you eating? Come quickly and bring it to us for a taste."
On a shoal by the river bank, a group of boys sat together and looked at the burning flames. And above the flames, bird eggs were roughly wrapped in leaves, exuding a burnt aroma.
Suddenly, there was a familiar voice in the distance, and the group of boys were startled. They looked at the food in the fire with reluctant eyes.
A big boy stood up from the crowd with a wry smile, looked at the two sisters who were gradually approaching, and said helplessly.
"Sister Bao'er, Sister Caixia, you are here. These eggs are not yet cooked. They need to be roasted for a while. Once they are cooked, you can eat them."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and retorted with his hands on his hips.
"Why should I feed them, two little girls? Don't think that just because you are pampered at home, you can show off your power in front of me."
The big boy, Mao Guozi, rolled his eyes and scolded.
"Shut up, what are you talking about? Sister Bao'er and Sister Caixia are also the ones you can say?"
Another person stood up and said reluctantly.
"He's right, why should he give these two little girls movies?"
His grandma told him that he was not a man to be able to beat two little girls in a fight.
Another person stood up and complained: "Yes, we worked hard to climb the tree to get this, why should we give it to an outsider?"
Mao Guozi was so angry that he glared at one after another.
"You all shut up and don't question Sister Bao'er and Sister Caixia."
Zhou Baoer became angry after listening to the words spoken one by one. After just a few days of ignoring this group of people, they actually rebelled against her again. Sure enough, if you don't clean your house for a day, you should be taught a lesson.
"Hmph, I'll tell you why, because my fist is bigger than yours, and because all of you combined can't beat us two sisters. You brats, how dare you go against my words? See if I don't teach you well. Let me tell you what it means to be a boss."
No one spoke at this moment, because most of the boys rushed up with clenched fists and attacked Zhou Baoer and Sun Caixia desperately.
What, you can’t hit girls, who rules this? Haven’t you seen that there are so many people in this world who beat their wives, wives, and daughters
Will Zhou Baoer and Sun Caixia be afraid of such a large group of people rushing towards them
It's a joke, if they are afraid, they won't become the eldest sister in the whole village.
I saw the two sisters, one attacking and the other defending. Within a moment, they knocked these rebellious brothers to the ground and stepped on them a few times as if to vent their anger.
Zhou Baoer snorted coldly, clapped his palms, and said with a proud look on his face.
"You brats who dare to fight me because of their ambitions, go to hell with your dreams!"
The man who was knocked to the ground dared not speak out in anger. He only dared to look at the two little sisters indignantly, with fire almost coming out of his eyes. It's really a shame and a shame to lose to two little girls.
Mao Guozi, who had never done anything, saw countless black lines sliding down his forehead when he saw the scene in front of him. He knew this would happen, why didn't these people remember the lesson? After being beaten so many times by these two sisters, they still dared to provoke.
But he forgot that he himself was not convinced by the two sisters back then. He often provoked and fought, but he lost more and it hurt from being beaten, so he surrendered and did not dare to rebel. He really regarded these two people as A sister who is closer than a real sister.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Mao Guozi carefully picked up a few roasted, fully cooked bird eggs between two branches, placed them on a flat and wide stone, and handed them to the two sisters.
"Sister Bao'er, Sister Caixia, the bird's eggs are already ripe, please try them quickly."
Zhou Baoer took the stone over, placed it casually on the ground, and nodded to Mao Guozi.
Mao Guozi chuckled, took the lead and walked to the fire with understanding, and snatched a few fragrant eggs.
Seeing this, the small group of people around who had not done anything rushed forward without any dedication at all, chasing each other to grab it.
At this time, the group of boys who had been knocked to the ground were not happy. They immediately got up from the ground and charged towards the fire.
In just a short time, a large number of large and small bird eggs were consumed and fell into the stomachs of those present.
There were also people who were slow and didn't grab any of them, so they could only stare at everyone with a pair of black and white eyes, looking sadly at everyone.
Some people are soft-hearted and will give some to their better friends. There are also people who are so hard-hearted that they eat what they have grabbed behind others' backs. There are even more people who are smug and pretentious, eating and laughing at those who have gotten nothing.
Within a few moments, another war began. The boys were fighting over a few edible eggs. Those who win will laugh happily, while those who lose will be so angry that their teeth will itch.
Zhou Baoer and Sun Caixia had long expected that such a situation would happen. They were eating bird eggs that were not very delicious while watching the show with relish and leisurely.
Due to improper handling and the fact that this group of boys had not specifically learned cooking skills, all the eggs cracked. Not only was it burnt, but it was also stained with dust and looked dirty.
But even the two girls didn't pay attention. They just peeled off the eggshell skillfully, threw away the dusty or burnt part, and ate the remaining roasted bird eggs.
There were not many bird eggs in front of Zhou Baoer and Sun Caixia, only four. Although they are larger than ordinary bird eggs, they don't last long.
After tasting the taste, he washed his hands with river water by the river. Zhou Baoer stood on a big rock and spoke condescendingly to a group of boys who were still playing around.
"Come here, I'll take you to catch fish."
As soon as he finished speaking, most of them, whether they were watching the show or fighting, came to Zhou Baoer and looked at Zhou Baoer expectantly.
The eldest boy in the group said flatteringly: "Sister Bao'er, as usual, you say, we will catch them. The biggest and best ones belong to sister Bao'er and Caixia."
Zhou Baoer nodded, then turned around, pointed to a place and said, "There is a fish there, go and catch it quickly."
A group of boys were extremely happy. Among them, the company commander quickly took off his clothes and shoes, leaving only a pair of trousers that were either patched, half-worn, or made of various fabrics.
Then, without anyone's instructions, they ran directly into the river and occupied a position with joy and laughter. In order to get a good position, there were actually fights and quarrels.
Zhou Baoer got angry and shouted:
"Shut up, everyone. Why are you making such a fuss? There is a fish over there. Catch it for me."
After hearing these words, someone immediately rushed in the direction pointed by Zhou Baoer. It's a pity that nothing was caught. I could only watch the fish wagging its tail and running away to other places.
No one cared about this minor mistake. Zhou Baoer looked around and listened in all directions, pointing out the location of a fish every once in a while for others to catch.
There are many failures, but there are always successes. After all, some people used various methods to catch several palm-sized fish while knowing where the fish were.
Zhou Baoer nodded with satisfaction and led his men to find a few new locations and start fishing again. When the weather got hotter and the temperature got higher and higher, everyone finally harvested a lot of things.
Those younger children who have not entered the water are actually not idle either. The fish caught by those in the river are held in their hands. Even if their hands were stained with fish scales and bathed in fish blood, their excited expressions could not be concealed.
When the sun was at its peak, it was time to divide things. A group of people sat together and looked at Zhou Baoer with shining eyes, looking very expectant.
Zhou Baoer didn't even look at the crowd. He first took out the two best and largest fish and placed them in front of himself and Sister Caixia, and then divided the rest of the fish out.
Those who are obedient or have meritorious service will get a better score, while those who are disobedient or do little will get a worse score. Those who are neither obedient nor even take action naturally have nothing.
Naturally, there is dissatisfaction with such a distribution. Zhou Baoer is totally a traitor, whoever dares to resist will end up like this. Only those who are obedient and capable can win her favor.
Leaving the river, Zhou Baoer and Sun Caixia returned home with a fish.
Zhou Baoer watched Wu Meili skillfully take the fish, draw water, scrape the scales at the well, remove the internal organs, squat on the ground and ask a question.
"Grandma, what is the origin of Sister Caixia's mother? I always feel that she doesn't look like one of us here."
Wu Meili said casually while working.
"I don't know the origin of Caixia's mother. I just heard that she seems to be a girl from a poor family."
Zhou Baoer nodded, recalling that almost perfect face, and exclaimed.
"Grandma, Sister Caixia and her mother are really beautiful! Those ladies in Huai'an Academy are not only beautiful, but also have temperament, but in my opinion they are not as good as Sister Caixia and her mother."
Wu Meili smiled and said.
"Of course she is beautiful. Otherwise, why would Caixia's father cry and want to marry Caixia's mother?"
Zhou Baoer's eyes lit up and he pulled Wu Meili's sleeve to act coquettishly.
"grandmother,
"Okay, okay, grandma will tell you now."
Wu Meili wiped the sweat from her forehead, took the cleaned fish and entered the kitchen, rubbed some salt on it and put it on the counter.
Zhou Baoer followed her like a little tail, listening to Wu Meili's past stories with interest.
Ten years ago, a comatose woman came into the river in the village. Wearing gorgeous clothes and exquisite jewelry, she looks like a lady in the city, even more beautiful, noble, and has outstanding temperament.
At that time, Caixia's father, who was still very young, looked at the shadowy figures on the water, and he didn't know if he was obsessed with sex. Before others could react, he jumped into the water and rescued the person.
There were no doctors in the village, and no one else had any experience in treating the patient. Without thinking, Caixia's father pulled out his oxcart and ran to the town with his people to seek help from the old doctor in the town.
After checking her pulse, the old doctor told the others that the unconscious lady had suffered a miscarriage, drowning, and some frights, and needed to be nursed back to health.
Caixia's father agreed on the spot and paid for it himself. As for the silk dress and gold and silver jewelry on the lady's body, none of them were touched and were still well preserved.
After a day and a night, the lady finally woke up and claimed that her surname was Zhao and that she was from the south. Her husband died young and she was a widow. Because people from her husband's family were trying to get all the property, she couldn't bear the blow and planned to commit suicide.
Caixia's father didn't know what he was thinking. After hearing such words, he asked for marriage on the spot. There was no order from the parents, no advice from the matchmaker, just teasing her in public.
The lady named Zhao was naturally unwilling and scolded him away in a few words. Even Caixia's father's family disagreed, not to mention the mismatch, and the lady was several years older than Caixia's father.
After half a year, and I don't know how Caixia's father did it, the lady finally relaxed and decided to marry the village chief's family and become the village chief's daughter-in-law.
On the wedding day, everyone saw the boxes of betrothal gifts and Caixia's mother's fairy-like face. Everyone understood why Caixia's father was so crazy
If it were someone else, a woman who was so beautiful, so elegant, had read poetry and books, and had such a large dowry, she would be willing to spend a lot of time and energy to marry someone home!
Caixia's mother was remarried as a widow. She had had a miscarriage before. She was several years older than Caixia's father. She was criticized by many people in the village when she got married. It's just because Caixia's mother got something that others couldn't get, which made some people envious and jealous.
Even though Caixia's mother has a quiet temperament and lives in seclusion all year round, she has never been active in the village. However, over time, she still heard some rumors.
I don’t know what Caixia’s mother did. Anyway, when many people came to their senses, those who made irresponsible remarks were gone. One by one, they closed their mouths tightly, as if they had any scruples.
After so many years, Caixia's mother only gave birth to one child, Caixia, who was still a baby girl. However, no one said anything, even the village chief and his wife recognized him.
The key is that Caixia's father seems to be fascinated and has been in love with Caixia's mother for ten years. After so many years, the relationship has not become weak, but has become deeper.
Zhou Baoer was stunned for a while, and more questions arose in his heart. For example, what is the origin of Caixia’s mother
Before he could take it for granted, Wu Meili blinked slightly and said mysteriously.
"Bao'er, do you know why the village chief likes Caixia? He has so much success, but he just likes Caixia. He can't be bullied by anyone, and he even obeys her."
How did Zhou Baoer know this? asked quickly.
"Grandma, you must know, tell me quickly!"
Wu Meili smiled meaningfully and said very quietly.
"Silly girl, of course it's because of Caixia's mother?"
"What?"
Zhou Baoer exclaimed, and thoughts that were complex, simple, lofty, or obscure flashed through his mind.
