Chapter 2 Little Friends-2

Zheng Bing As the monitor for two consecutive years. The reason why the principal nominated him as the monitor, besides his good study, should be related to his father as the village party branch secretary.

As the New Year came, Zheng Jinhua’s mother, Chen Qingju, fell ill again.

Since Zheng Jinhua, was born, in the “month” has been sick, without good nutrition.

In the custom of rural people, a woman who has just given birth must lie in bed for a month to rest and nourish herself. It’s called “moon”.

Now her head ached inexplicably, so she wanted to see the barefoot doctor in the village. The doctor’s medical skills are excellent. The pain resolved within two days after taking some of the pills he had prescribed.

That morning, while Zheng Jinhua was cleaning the floor, her mother told her, ” ‘Little flower’! Wait a minute to get me some medicine.”

She asked Zheng Jinhua to go to the store next door to buy the medicine. Before Zheng Jinhua had breakfast, he said, ” I will get some medicine, then come back and have breakfast.”

So, Zheng Jinhua jumped out, and she quickly got the medicine from the pharmacy.

On the way back, Zheng Jinhua looked around and saw a bird’s nest on the big persimmon tree by the roadside! She thought, is there an egg in the nest? Recently, my mother had nothing to eat. I’ll take some eggs to make up for her health.

So she put the Chinese medicine under the tree, like a monkey, with her strong chest and hand trunk. Then she bent her back, raised her feet, extended her hands, and embraced the trunk.

She bent, stretched, raised her feet, stepped, her hands up, and hugged each other several times. She quickly climbed the tree, close to the nest.

“Oh!“Zheng Jinhua suddenly lost his right foot and fell off.

Near noon, my mother stood up from bed to cook, but she thought, ” Why hasn’t Zheng Jinhua come back yet?”

She was a little worried. ” Where is the kid playing?”

At this point, Zheng Jinhua came in with her injured foot. There was blood on her face and purple on her forehead.

The mother opened her eyes wide open and asked, ” What’s wrong?“Fighting others?!”

“No, I fell down.“Said Zheng Jinhua, dejected.

As a result, Zheng Jinhua fell from the tree and landed in a small mud pool under the large persimmon tree. His head shook violently and he fainted.

After a while, she woke up, but she was in good health.

How dangerous!

Zheng Jinhua See the cut bamboo heads around her hips! If she fell a little closer, she will be inserted by the sharp bamboo head, I’m afraid Zheng Jinhua will not survive!

Zheng Jinhua’s father is Zheng Yansheng. When he was young and single, he was a farmer, and his family was very poor. He was in his early thirties and could not marry. Later, he was introduced to marry Chen Qingju, and her husband died. However, the wife of the second marriage was very beautiful: tall, thin,and a white face. He took off his clothes behind him, revealing a jade-white body, just like a fairy. Wild goose was ecstatic and loved her very much.

Chen qingju brought her two daughters from her ex-husband to the Zheng family. The eldest daughter was Chen Dalin when she was four years old. The second daughter was only two years old. Her name is unknown, called “Xiao Xiao”. Later, when Zheng Yansheng applied for household registration, her second daughter got her name: Zheng Danye.

Zheng Yansheng He wants to produce a son in his own name. However, Chen Qingju gives birth to a girl named Zheng Y inhua. Two years later, the Zheng Jinhua was born again.

On the first day of Zheng Jinhua, she ate four eggs. For the next few days she mainly some rice and taro, and some meat every other day or two. In this “month”, she lacks nutrition, after cold cold after washing cold. She has catching a cold, her body slowly became very bad, and often sick.

Her mother, Chen Qingju, became more and more ill. Before Zheng Jinhua was six years old, her mother died of the illness.

When Zheng Jinhua was the baby, she did not eat too much of her mother’s milk. She was very thin and did not eat any meat. But his body is not weak and sick, nor will he be short.

That fall, Zheng Yansheng wanted to ask Zheng to help him figure out his fate.

However, a national movement is under way to “break the four old habits and establish the four customs”. Zheng Yansheng Knowing that fortune-telling is a feudal superstition. Because the revolutionary movement was so powerful that no one dared to do such a thing. If someone reported him, he was caught by the Red Guards, wounded or disabled.

However, the blind man said, ” It’s all right!“My nephew is the leader of the Red Guard. He will hide it from me. I only tell fortunes with my relatives and friends, and I don’t tell fortunes for others. I only tell my fortune for you. You can sneak into my house at night to find me.”

In fact, blind people have very poor eyesight. He can still see his rice bowl and his stool. He could only do by seeing the outline of his face. Of course, he could not read the words in the book clearly.

Zheng Yansheng When he went to find him, the blind man sat at the table, pointed to the bench against the wall and said, ” Sit down!”

“When were you born?“The blind man asked,” What year, which month and which day is it?”

Zheng Yansheng Soon I remembered: ” The nineteenth year of the Republic of China.”

The blind man thought for a while, it is “Geng Wu” (Year of the Horse) and “Geng Wu” year, there are a month and day and time?”

“On August 11, I heard my mother say that it was born after dinner, after dark.”

The blind man tilted his head and then moved his ass, “You” Time (5 p.m.to 7 p.m.）。

Zheng Yansheng He remembered his wife’s birthday and told the blind man about his third child’s birthday.

“What about the smallest one?”

This is the fourth child, the Zheng Jinhua. She was born on June 4 and her animal logo is “horse”.

“When has she ever been born?”

“She was born after lunch.”

“It was noon.”

The blind man looked at the couple and their child’s birthday and shook his head. Then I don’t know why he was shaking. He seemed to be cramping. After a while, he stopped twitching and then continued to tap his thumb on the knuckles, index, middle, ring, and little fingers of the four fingers. He began to click in order, what he said, calculating.

“Well,” said the blind man, thinking for a moment, then, “the fate of the fourth child is very difficult, but it conflicts with her mother’s” fate.““Therefore, both the mother and the daughter may have adverse events. In particular, she and one of her sisters will also have a conflict of “fate”.

According to the blind, the fourth daughter, Zheng Jinhua, is not easily raised. If you had sent her away sooner, the whole family would have been safe.

So far, Zheng Yansheng has listened and thinks this is right! Didn’t her mother also die in a “fate” conflict with her daughter, Zheng Jinhua?

But Zheng Yansheng was a little suspicious, because he heard that the blind people were not sure of their calculations, so he put the matter aside. Work on the fields is busy and he doesn’t care about the six-year-old girl so he still lets Zheng Jinhua playing around like crazy.

Spring came, and the younger sister of the same family went home. She said to Zheng Yansheng, the brother of the same family:

“Your wife will make some money by making clothes for you before she dies. Now you are the only one who can support these four girls. They neither lose money nor make money.“She said, sitting on the stool:

“The 16-year-old daughter will get married next year. But the youngest daughter is nearly seven years old. How long will you support them? Since the fortune-teller said that Zheng Jinhua is not easy to raise, you had better give her to someone else!“Sister Jin Lian stopped for a while and then said:

“In Shijing village next door, there was a man named Big Head, also named Zheng. He is 40 and has no wife, but he has four barns in his house. He was never short of food, and he lived very well. Zheng Jinhua Be his daughter for the best.”

Zheng Yansheng Thought for a while, and finally decided to agree to send Zheng Jinhua away.

According to Big Head’s idea, when Zheng Jinhua grows up, she can recruit a son-in-law and have no problem inheriting the family. Therefore, he was ready to receive the Zheng Jinhua.

That day, Jin Lian sister came again, she brought money from Big Head.

He said to Zheng Yansheng, ” The big Head agrees to give you two hundred yuan.”

Zheng Jinhua I heard it outside the door. Although she is only six years old, she can understand her words: Do you want to sell me? I won’t agree!

Zheng Jinhua Don’t want to go, but her father said to her, ” Our family is very poor. When you arrived at his home, they had their food and clothes.“Zheng Jinhua heard there were beautiful clothes. A little touched: I am six years old, still wearing my sister’s ragged clothes.

However, thinking again, Zheng Jinhua still feels that her old sisters love her and her family is warm, so she doesn’t want to go.

According to the fortune-teller’s calculation, the father agreed and decided to let Zheng Jinhua out on August 4 to go Big Head’s home.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Jinhua tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The thought that she would be sold to someone else’s house in a few days made her feel more and more uncomfortable and could not help crying.

When his father Zheng Yansheng woke up, he persuaded Zheng Jinhua: ” You are not far from home, you can come back at any time!“He added,” Otherwise, Zheng Jinhua wouldn’t wear new clothes!”

Zheng Jinhua He stopped crying and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Usually, Zheng Yinhua (“third” sister) and Zheng Jinhua are the best. They interweave all day long and never want to separate.

Zheng Yinhua Said, ” Dad, let me take Zheng Jinhua there the day after tomorrow!”

Father Zheng Yansheng said, ” Good!”

After hearing this, Zheng Jinhua felt calm for a while and fell asleep after a while.

A long chicken cry, like a long worm, directly into Zheng Jinhua’s ears, Zheng Jinhua trembling woke up!

When she woke up, she suddenly thought: Should I still go today? When she gets nervous, she reaches for the Zheng Yinhua, who sleeps beside her.

“what’s up?“Zheng Yinhua’s eyes slept faintly, but she asked.

When Zheng Jinhua asked Zheng Yinhua, Zheng Jinhua himself suddenly woke up and said to himself: Oh, not today, but the day after tomorrow.

“Sleep for a while,” said Zheng Yinhua.
