Mrs. Fang looked down at her, shook her head slowly and said, "Furong, you really let me down! It seems that all these years of upbringing have failed to reverse what you learned in the Xia family... I shouldn't let you I often go back to Xia's house. In Xia's house, your parents have instilled the concept of "everything in the Fang family will be yours in the future". That's why you want to remove all obstacles in front of you to achieve this goal Bar?"
"Aunt..." Xia Furong still wanted to die.
Mrs. Fang stopped her with one sentence: "Fu Rong, are you stupid to be an aunt? A little girl who only pays a few hundred cash a month can take out two hundred taels at once to vent her anger on the master?"
Xia Furong's voice stopped abruptly, her face was full of frustration. Xia Furong's ending was naturally to be sent back to the man-eating Xia family. As an abandoned child, she will naturally not have a good life. When he was an adult, he was married to a foolish son of a high-ranking official. He was unhappy and died before he was thirty.
When she was in despair, every time she thought about the wrong thing she did when she sat down in the evening, her heart was filled with deep remorse. If she hadn't been dazzled by jealousy, she would still be her aunt's beloved niece. As long as she was obedient and obedient, her aunt would arrange a good marriage for her and prepare a rich dowry. She will have a husband who loves and respects her, and will have a group of lovely babies... When she was dying, Xia Furong seemed to see another different life...
After the case was settled, when Yu Xiaocao appeared in front of the villagers of Dongshan Village again, the villagers looked as if they had seen a ghost. Wasn't the second girl of Yu Hai's family buried in a mass grave? Why do birds appear alive again? Could it be that there is some grievance that lingers
After frightening and crying the little girl in the village again, in desperation, Yu Hai and Fang Fang went to explain one by one. Said that her daughter met a robber and was rescued by the second son of Prince Jing's mansion. In order to lure the people behind the scenes, she staged a scene of feigning death...
After the villagers understood what happened, they sighed for a while, and they were all happy that Xiaocao was fine. Only Mrs. Zhang, behind her back, cursed fiercely in her heart, saying that Xiaocao was a scourge for thousands of years...
The days passed day by day, and it was midsummer. Few of the children in the fishing village know how to swim. Whenever the tide ebbs, you can always see a few small heads bouncing up and down in the sea, like smart little dolphins.
Yu Xiaocao also knew how to swim in her previous life. There is a big river pond in the village. In summer, the children like to jump into the pond accompanied by adults. After a long time, everyone can scratch a few times. Adults sometimes swim back and forth in it, or teach their children how to swim. Xiaocao's father in his previous life had the best swimming skills when he was young, and he taught Xiaocao's siblings how to swim.
Before I knew it, it had been a whole year. Everything from the previous life gradually faded away in Xiaocao's heart, leaving only an eternal imprint deeply hidden in her heart. What you have in this life is the most cherished. Live in the moment, cherish the present!
"Xiaolian, Xiaocao! Let's go diving at the seaside to touch the abalone? If you find the top-quality abalone, it will be worth a few taels of silver!" Zhou Coral ran in from the outside, mysteriously opening his own abalone. Outer shirt, let Sister Xiaocao see what she's wearing.
The Ming Dynasty greatly improved the status of women, and it also had an impact on the small Dongshan fishing village. Before a girl develops, she puts on tights and goes into the sea, and no one will say anything. It is very common for a girl like Zhou Shanhu to have her own swimming pool.
The water is similar to the one-piece diving suit in the previous life. It is usually made of sea fish skin, sea jellyfish skin or shark skin, which can keep warm and waterproof in the sea. This kind of craftsmanship has been lost to later generations, so Xiaocao is very interested in the water, touching it again and again.
Zhou Shanshan said proudly: "My dad bought me this new one this year. It's made of sea fish skin, and it's not worth a lot. If it's made of shark skin or sea jellyfish skin, it would cost a few taels of silver. Xiaocao, Your dad is the best at hunting sharks, let him get you one!"
Xiao Lian smiled and said: "Little sister, Dad made me a shark skin one last year without telling the family. If you like it, you can try it."
It's hot, and the meat and vegetables are not easy to preserve, so the business of stewed vegetables has stopped. Xiao Lian has been idle at home for two days, doing nothing, it's strange that she is not used to it. She was thinking about asking Xiaocao to help her think of another business to earn a little money to spend.
In order to cultivate the children's independent ability, Yu Hai decides that the children should start their own small business, and the money they earn belongs to themselves. For example, Yu Hang's business of collecting seafood, and Xiao Lian's business of selling stewed vegetables. Now, regardless of their young age, both brothers and sisters have a lot of savings for others!
However, the money earned by the brothers and sisters is still habitually kept by the younger sister. Xiaocao opened a separate account for the two of them in the bank, and deposited one hundred taels into it. When the brothers and sisters get together, whenever they talk about savings, Xiao Shitou always yells that everyone has made money, and he just goes out and does not go in. He feels very disappointed and thinks that he is the most useless!
Yu Xiaocao comforted him and said, "Shitou, you are our family's potential stock, and you will be the most promising in the future! Think about it, no matter how much money we make, in the eyes of those rich and powerful, we are just a dog that can be used at any time. An ant that was crushed to death. If you study hard and become a high-ranking official in the future, won't you be able to protect your brothers and sisters? You are in the investment stage now, and there will always be returns in the future!"
This made Xiao Shitou stop thinking about doing some small business after school. In order to keep Xiao Shitou from being too disappointed, Xiaocao also specially opened an account for him, depositing ten taels of silver into it every month. Xiao Shitou naturally knows that the second sister is the richest in the family, the dividends from Zhenxiu Restaurant and Zhou's Workshop, and the rent of the two shops in the town are quite suitable for a little rich woman. I didn't show courtesy to my second sister!
Let’s say that Xiaocao heard that there was a set of shark skin water mattresses at home, and she felt itchy, so she pestered Xiaolian to take out the water mattresses for herself to try. In the past year, although Xiaocao has gained some stature, it is not much different from Xiaolian's height last year. Xiao Lian's water jacket from last year fit her perfectly.
Xiao Lian watched the little girl put the water on the outside of her underwear and then put on the outer shirt, looking eager to try, she hurriedly grabbed her and said: "Little sister, you have never learned to swim, you only stand by the water. That's good, don't go into the sea!"
Xiaocao smiled and said, "What's so difficult about swimming? I'm so smart, can such a trivial matter stump me? Just watch!"
Xiaolian was worried, so she greeted her mother, and followed the chattering little girls Xiaocao and Shanshan to a secluded place by the sea.
Zhou Shanhu looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she took off her outer shirt, plunged into the sea and swam far away. The little girl is good at water, she wiped the sea water on her face, shook her hands vigorously towards Xiaocao, and shouted loudly: "Xiaocao, don't be afraid! The water here is not deep, you can come down little by little! "
Yu Xiaocao took off the shirt, stuffed it into Xiaolian's hands, and comforted her with a smile: "It's going to be okay, you watch from the shore, if there's anything wrong, just go down and fish for me!"
Xiaolian sat helplessly on the reef on the shore, watching the little girl step into the embrace of the sea bit by bit. The sea at this time is gentle, and there are sparkling microwaves on the blue sea. Even though it was morning, the two little girls who were wearing swimsuits didn't feel the sea was cold at all.
"Little girl, don't go in there, you can't swim..." Seeing that Xiaocao had only a small head on the surface of the sea, Xiaolian hurriedly stood up and shouted to Xiaocao. Suddenly, her voice stopped abruptly, and Xiaocao's skillful swimming made her eyes widen involuntarily. Is the little girl a genius? Self-taught in everything
Zhou Shanhu, who had already swam around in the water, swam to Xiaocao's side at this time, afraid that something would happen to her when she went into the sea for the first time. Seeing Xiaocao's proficient dog digging, she smiled and said: "Xiaolian also said that you can't swim, what a worry! Isn't this a good swim? There are few people here, and it is estimated that you can touch abalone at the bottom of the sea , let’s swim inside again and dive again!”
Yu Xiaocao followed behind Zhou Shanshan, and went deeper into the sea little by little. Suddenly, Zhou Coral went down suddenly, and there was no movement for a long time. She was a little panicked, and hurriedly buried her head in the sea water, trying to find Zhou Shanhu's figure. However, she can swim well, but she has no skills at all in diving. After thumping for a long time, he didn't dive down in a daze.
"Hahaha..." A burst of wanton laughter came, Xiaocao hurriedly raised her head from the sea, and Zhou Coral appeared not far away, holding a black sea cucumber with one hand, and pointing at her with the other, laughing Tears are about to come out.
Yu Xiaocao swam to her side, splashed seawater all over her face, and said bitterly: "What's so funny, don't you know how to dive? Quickly teach me!"
"You just looked like a drowning duck, flopping non-stop. It's so funny!! Haha..." Zhou Shanshan burst into laughter again.
Yu Xiaocao waited for her to laugh enough before humbly asking for advice on diving skills. Zhou Coral is good at diving and is also a competent little teacher. Yu Xiaocao also learned quickly, and soon mastered the knack of diving. A plunge can reach the bottom of the sea.
Zhou Shanshan looked shocked: "It's really a disciple of the church, the master is starved to death! If you find the best abalone in a while, don't pay me a dividend!" Saying this, another fierce son dived into the bottom of the water. The little girl was also good at holding her breath, this time it took two or three minutes to come up again.
Yu Xiaocao waved her hand in the direction of Xiaolian on the shore, took a deep breath, and dived down. The sea water is clear and transparent, and the reefs on the bottom of the sea are clearly visible. Occasionally, a small colorful fish swims among the reefs, and a small sea crab is scared by her and goes straight into the sand. This interesting scene opened Xiaocao's horizons. She lingered on the bottom of the water until she couldn't hold her breath anymore, then kicked hard and rushed out of the sea.
