As for Changan,after learning another four words from the little goldfish at night, she slept until the sun was high in the sky.
She sat up from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and didn't see her uncle and aunt. She immediately put on her cotton clothes and slipped off the kang.
When she ran outside, she saw her aunt sitting under the eaves, basking in the sun while stringing beads, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aunt, where is uncle?" Changan asked.
Wu looked up and saw her niece got up. She put down her needlework and said, "Your uncle has gone to help someone else and will be back later."
Chang'an felt suffocated and panicked. He frowned and said, "Look for uncle."
Wu stood up and took her niece to wash up: "He went to chop trees. I don't know where he is. I can't find him."
Chang'an was a little anxious and started to make a fuss by pulling her aunt's hand: "Look for him!"
"Okay, after you have breakfast, we will look for him together." Wu was indeed a little worried about her husband. She also knew where Zhaojia Village was. It happened that Taiping Township had a market today, so she took Chang'an to the market to see if she could sell a few beads.
If there was a market here, it would save her a lot of trouble.
Chang'an shook her head: "No, I won't have breakfast!"
"Go, go find uncle." She became more and more panicked and pulled her aunt's hand hard to drag her out.
Wu didn't understand what her niece was making a fuss about, so she had to say, "Wait a minute, I'll go carry a backpack, and don't you want to take your small bag?"
Chang'an heard it and quickly ran back to the house to find her small bag, and then hurried to the toilet.
When she came out of the toilet, she saw her aunt holding a wet towel to wipe her face.
Chang'an tried her best to escape from under the towel, ran out of the yard, and turned back and shouted, "Aunt, hurry up, hurry up!"
Wu had no choice but to hang the towel on the fence, close the door, and walk out of the yard with the backpack on her back.
At this time, little Chang'an had already run out of the village quickly, and Huahua followed her.
Wu looked at the child and the cat running, and she couldn't help laughing.
This Huahua is also strange. Usually you can't see its shadow, as long as Chang'an leaves the village, it will definitely follow, like an old woman who is worried about
it. "His third aunt, where are you going?" Sister Qian, who came back from washing clothes, saw Wu and Chang'an going out of the village, and couldn't help asking.
Mrs. Wu was too embarrassed to say that she was going to look for her husband. "Isn't there a market today? I want to go to the market to have a look."
Mrs. Qian covered her eyebrows with her hands and looked at the sun. "It's already this late, the market should have been over by now, right?"
Mrs. Wu said awkwardly, "Chang'an got up late and tried desperately to find her uncle, so I had to take her with me." "
In that case, you should go quickly." Mrs. Qian waved her hand. "I'm going back to hang clothes, or I'll go to the market with you guys."
Along the way, people came back from the market one after another, some carrying loads and baskets, and some even bought food and carried it on their backs.
Little Chang'an ran quickly along the path, and the tabby cat followed closely behind him.
Once Huahua saw the little kid running off the track, she would use her body to block her from falling into the ditch beside the road.
At this time, there was no water in the ditch. Only in the summer could some rainwater be accumulated. People relied on the water in these ditches to irrigate crops and vegetable fields.
"Slow down." Mrs. Wu could hardly catch up with the little guy, so she had to call out, "Wait, auntie."
Chang'an had to stop and wait for her auntie to catch up.
Wu grabbed Chang'an's hand and said, "You run so fast that your aunt can't catch up with you."
In fact, she was embarrassed to take a step forward and chase after him. People passing by on the road were all from nearby villages or the village itself. If she ran recklessly without paying attention, it would really be an eyesore.
Chang'an frowned and looked up at her aunt, feeling extremely anxious.
She wanted to find her uncle and didn't want to waste a moment.
"Aunt, aunt, hurry up." Seeing that her aunt was still walking slowly, she was a little anxious.
Wu sighed, bent down and picked up her little niece, "Okay, aunt, hurry up." As she spoke, she quickened her pace.
Along the way, she met a few familiar villagers and greeted each other. Then she saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xiao Zhao, and her sister-in-law Song Yufeng and Song Chengye. The eldest sister-in-law, Xiao Zhao, was holding the four-year-old Song Xiyue in her arms. The family was talking and laughing as they walked towards them. When they saw Wu, everyone fell silent instantly.
Wu held Changan and greeted her parents-
in-law, "Dad, Mom." The father-in-law, Song Baqi, snorted in response.
Mrs. Zhao looked at the third daughter-in-law coldly and asked, "Where are you going at this time?"
Wu didn't dare to say that Changan was going to find her uncle, and whispered, "Go to the market to buy some things."
"Oh, it seems that your family has made a lot of money from the wood worm? Are you showing off now?" Old Zhao said sarcastically, "Why don't you teach your sister-in-law so that we can make a fortune with you."
Wu didn't say anything.
At this moment, Changan suddenly pulled her aunt's collar and urged her to leave, because the little girl heard the voice of her little cousin in her mind again:
[Humph! Poor ghost! See how rampant you are in the future! I guess Song Sanshun's leg is broken now! Hahaha! One of the family is a stutterer and the other is a cripple, it's really complete! ]
"Let's go! Aunt, let's go!" Chang'an became more and more anxious, and kept urging her aunt to go quickly to find her uncle.
Seeing little Chang'an like this, old Zhao sneered: "You have no manners at all. You don't even know to call your grandparents and aunt. How did you raise your child, Wu?"
As soon as this was said, Song Baqi frowned and shouted at little Chang'an: "Chang'an! Why don't you know to call your grandmother? The older
she gets, the more unruly she becomes!" The younger aunt Song Yufeng took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Dad, why do you care about her? She is so disrespectful to her elders. Isn't it learned from some people?"
"Yufeng! What are you talking about?" Wu was furious and said angrily: "Who is disrespectful to her elders?"
"Oh? Is she desperate?" The twelve-year-old Song Yufeng was always unforgiving with her words, "You are protecting Chang'an so much, are you trying to curry favor with the second sister-in-law? It's a pity that the second sister-in-law doesn't know, otherwise she would definitely send you a lot of silk and satin."
After that, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Wu was so angry that tears came out.
She was thin-skinned and seldom quarreled with others. Now she couldn't think of any words to fight back.
Chang'an didn't want to see these people, so she pulled her aunt and shouted, "Look for uncle! Don't look at bad people!" She wanted to find her uncle and didn't want to waste time with these people.
Wu nodded, hugged her and patted her lightly, and walked forward quickly.
Song Yufeng smiled triumphantly when she saw her third sister-in-law left.
Suddenly, two crows flew over her head and dropped a pile of shit right on her head.
Song Yufeng felt something strange on her head, and when she touched it with her hand, she found a hand full of black and white dirt.
"Ah" she screamed, and subconsciously smeared the bird shit on her hand on Song Xiyue.
Song Xiyue was held in her mother's arms, and she didn't know what happened until her grandmother grabbed a handful of dry grass from the roadside to wipe the bird shit off her shoulder. Then she realized that her aunt had smeared the bird shit on her hand on herself.
She was so angry that she roared immediately.
Her aunt has always been very selfish. She hurt her for her own selfishness in her previous life. Now she is here again. Song Xiyue wanted to kick her in the face.
Seeing her granddaughter angry, Old Zhao coaxed her in a gentle voice: "Xiyue. An'er, don't be upset. Your aunt is also in a hurry. When you get home, grandma will cook an egg for you, not for your aunt."
Song Xiyue snorted and hugged her mother's neck without saying a word.
The family went back to the village in a mighty manner, and Wu, holding little Chang'an, had already walked to a fork in the road.
On one side was the market, and on the other side was the path leading to Zhaojia Village.
Chang'an pointed to Zhaojia Village: "Uncle!"
In fact, she had never been to Zhaojia Village, but her intuition told her that she had to go there.
Wu hesitated, but still walked towards Zhaojia Village.
Huahua ran in front and soon turned into a small path and went straight to the back mountain. Chang'an also urged her aunt to follow Huahua.
At this moment, a person ran out of the forest, and two or three people were chasing behind. (End of this chapter)
