Chai Jin quickly squatted down when he saw Chai Xiaoshan rushing towards him.
He raised the fruit in his hand and said, "Look what I bought you."
Chai Xiaoshan was a foodie, and she didn't have time to wipe away her tears, so she stared straight at the red apples in the bag.
"Wow, brother, is this an apple?"
"What do you think?" Chai Jin gently wiped the tears on the little girl's face with his sleeve.
"Brother, give it to me, I want to eat it."
The little girl couldn't wait to grab it, but she still looked like she was crying.
Chai Jin held down her little head: "You can't eat it now. You can only eat it after you go back and wash it, otherwise you will get roundworms!"
Chai Xiaoshan was a little worried.
Chai Fang also came over quickly.
She looked at him with a watery face: "Xiao Jin, have those papers really been exchanged for money?"
"Why did you buy so many things?"
Chai Jin was in a very good mood. After a few days of hard work, he didn't feel tired after seeing his sisters.
"Go home first, and then I'll talk to you properly."
"Where's dad, at home?"
"No, dad went to borrow money."
"Oh, let's go home first."
The three siblings walked towards the Chai family's earthen house.
However, Chai Xiaoshan, a snack connoisseur, never leaves the apple in Chai Jin's hand.
Sometimes Chai Jin gets tired of carrying this hand and changes his hand.
The little girl will also follow here.
He kept raising his smiling face:
"Chai Jin, are you tired from carrying it? How about I help you carry it?"
"Brother, why don't you take out two for me to hold? This way the bag will be much lighter."
"Brother, can I have two at one go later?"
For Chai Xiaoshan, the only fruit she has thought about since childhood was the old jujube tree in front of her house.
In spring, she would ask Chai Jin: "Brother, why haven't the wild jujubes bloomed yet?"
Summer will ask: "Chai Jin, the flowers are gone, when will the fruit mature?"
In autumn: "Brother, hurry up and get me some fruit. The fruit will rot on the tree when it gets old!"
Winter: "Brother, when will the jujube trees bloom?"
As spring passes and autumn comes, Chai Xiaoshan asks questions like this every day.
This is the living conditions of children from poor families in this era.
Doing the math, this is the first time this year that the smell of meat has wafted out of the Chai family's mud-brick house.
It's not that Chai Minguo is mean to his three children, but every year after the harvest is harvested and the public grain is sold, the village's creditors take away whatever little surplus grain is left.
So the smell of meat suddenly attracted the attention of the villagers.
After returning, Chai Fang skillfully prepared several dishes.
After waiting for my father to come back for a long time, I ran to the fields to look again, but couldn't find anyone.
The three siblings could only save the food to eat first.
At the table, Xiaoshan ate deliciously, her mouth was full of meat oil, and she smiled innocently.
Chai Fangwen ate quietly.
Asked Chai Jin many questions.
He had no choice but to explain bit by bit.
While we were enjoying our meal, a rude woman's voice sounded outside.
Li Fengxian's voice next door.
"Chai Minguo! I knew your family was rich!"
"Your son bought such a big skewer of meat and brought it home. You think everyone in the village is blind and can't see it, right?"
"Get out and pay back the money! You shameless bastard!"
After Chai Xiaoshan heard this voice, she was so scared that she lost her job and hid behind Chai Fang.
Liu Fengxian is their neighbor and a very vicious woman.
He often touched Chai Xiaoshan, pinched her flesh, slapped her, and even secretly pricked her with a needle.
Chai Jin remembered that he was only thirteen years old that year and Chai Xiaoshan was only two years old. Just because the two-year-old Chai Xiaoshan chased away her chickens, the evil woman tricked her into taking her to her home and pricking her with needles.
After discovering that Chai Xiaoshan had pinhole marks on her body, he rushed to her house and had a fight with her.
In the end, Chai Minguo came back to apologize and take him home.
If you owe money to others, you can only behave in a low manner without dignity.
So Chai Jin hated this woman very much.
He walked inside silently and took out a hundred yuan from his bag.
This is the money his family owes Liu Fengxian.
Liu Fengxian walked to the door, her vicious little eyes were extremely mean.
He looked inside the room and asked, "Where is Chai Minguo?"
Chai Fang's voice was very low: "Dad hasn't come back yet."
"If you haven't come back, where will you get the money to buy meat?"
Uh-huh.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Jin threw a hundred-dollar bill on him.
"I'll pay you back the money I owe you, and don't make any noise at my house. I've never forgotten the time you beat my brother and sister when I was thirteen. Don't blame me for not being able to control myself."
Liu Fengxian was stunned for a moment, then picked up the hundred-dollar bill on the ground.
He looked at the sun shining east and west for a long time and muttered, "It's real money."
And a bit sharp and mean: "Where does your family get the money?"
Chai Jin looked back: "Do I need to explain to you?"
"Hey, you little kid, you will be great when you grow up, right?" Liu Fengxian rolled up her sleeves and rushed in.
Chai Minguo didn't dare to say anything in front of her. His son was nothing!
Over the years, Liu Fengxian, a close neighbor, has been oppressing their family, and they have long been accustomed to being overbearing and disrespectful.
Being criticized like this by Chai Jin, he was naturally a little angry.
Chai Fang was anxious and was about to get up and say something nice.
Chai Jin didn't say anything nonsense at all. He stood up and slapped Liu Fengxian hard on the fat face.
The flesh on his face was so violent that he almost fell to the ground.
He quickly grabbed hold of the wall and was completely shocked: "I can't kill you little beast!"
"There is no way, no one can cure it, right?"
You are evil, I am more evil than you!
Chai Jin picked up a wooden stick from the side and hit it with a bang.
However, the stick missed and hit Liu Fengxian's heel.
But Liu Fengxian was completely awakened.
Looking at Chai Jin with red eyes, he was scared.
If this little calf had hit me with the stick just now, would I have to fall to the ground?
His body was trembling a little, and he quickly took a few steps back and ran to the door.
Pointing at Chai Jin: "When you grow up, you learn to fight hard, right?"
"Okay! When Chai Minguo comes back later, I'll ask him to deal with you, you beast!"
After saying that, she quickly turned around and ran away, fearing that Chai Jin would run out and chase her and beat her.
Chai Jin lost his stick.
As if nothing happened, he returned to the table and looked at the two sisters who were in a daze.
"This kind of person is cruel, so he should be more cruel than he is before he gets cold feet."
"Let's eat."
"Oh." Chai Fang was still a little confused.
I always feel like my brother has suddenly changed a lot.
How could he be like this before?
No words were spoken.
Liu Fengxian was scared away by Chai Jin. Will she feel comfortable after calming down?
The more I thought about it while hiding at home, the more I couldn't figure it out.
Gritting his teeth: "Your family is rich, right?"
"Look how rich your family is!"
"Repay the debt? Humph, let's see if you can afford to repay the village's debt!"
"A low-class family just depends on your family's displeasure!"
So this vicious woman started running around the village to tell people.
When he met everyone, he told Chai Minguo that he had money to pay back, so he quickly went to ask for the money.
Just to get the whole village to come and force their family to death to get back the bad breath they had just now!
