    ?

    It was already dark outside the space, so I went to the firewood room to hold firewood for the fire.  I took out the steamed sweet potatoes last night and put them in the large bowl cupboard, washed the pot and boiled water, cleaned myself up, put on my fur hat, and walked to the village based on my impressions.

    To be honest, Xiao Hongmei's house is quite far away from the village, and I don't know what her parents think. It's heartless for such a little girl to let her live here by herself.  The little girl was not frightened, but a little withdrawn. It has to be said that Xiao Hongmei is strong enough. I remember that my nephew is seven or eight years old and still dare not stay at home by himself. Even if my mother goes out to buy groceries, she has to take him with her.  Otherwise, there is no way to coax those who are crying.  This little girl is really sweet. Thinking about how before I was 10 years old, I helped my mother sweep and sweep the floor. I didn¡¯t even have to pull weeds in the fields by myself. But this little girl not only has to cook and wash by herself, but also does farm work.  Fortunately, there are people in the village to help, otherwise the little girl would not know if she would survive, but after looking through Xiao Hongmei's memory, she still doesn't blame her parents at all, she even excused them after her parents left, what a good child,  It hurts to be sensible.

    Arriving at the village head's house, Zhang Hongmei knew the customs of the rural people, and she could not enter other people's houses if there was a funeral at home, so she stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Third master, is the third mother at home? I am Hongmei."

    "Here, come, Hongmei is healed? Don't freeze anymore. Do you have something to do with your third master?" Li Cuihua replied as she walked.

    Zhang Hongmei saw the door open, "San Niang, I'm well, I'm not cold, and I'm wearing a cotton hat. I just want to ask about the phone number in my San Ye's hometown. I want to know how my parents died.  They were brought back and buried in our village? When I miss them, I can visit their graves and burn some paper money for them during the Chinese New Year.¡±

    "What a good boy, your third uncle is drinking porridge and will be ready soon, Hongmei, do you want to come in and have a bowl of porridge?"

    "No, San Niang, I can't enter your house now, I'll just wait outside for my San Ye, and you should hurry to eat, or it will be cold in a while."

    "I'm eating fast and I've finished eating. Hongmei is becoming more and more sensible now. In the future, I will find friends to play with and don't always be bored at home. In the future, you have to stand up by yourself. You have to stand up. People in the village are so sophisticated  Get up too, do you hear me?"

    Zhang Hongmei was sincerely grateful when she heard this. Outsiders who are not related by blood are so considerate of themselves, and they really regard themselves as younger generations. These three mothers are really kind-hearted.  "I remember the three mothers. I will ask you if I don't understand. I also want to learn how to make clothes and shoes from you. My mother used to make them for me, and she has no time to teach me. Now  I'm the only one left, and it's okay to bother others all the time, I have to learn it myself."

    "Yes, that's it. I'll go to your house to teach you while I'm not enlightened these days. Do you have sewing, thimble, scissors, needles and awls for making clothes?"

    "Yes, there are all of them. My mother uses them, and they have everything. The third mother has taken care of it."

    "Small things, although I don't know your mother very well, your father and we grew up together. How can I ignore them without the only girl left? Don't be polite to San Niang."

    "What are you two talking about?" Liu Maocai, the village head of Liujiatun, came out.

    "Head of the house, Hongmei is here to see you. You two are chattering, I will clean it up. Hongmei, I will go to your house to teach you in a while."

    "Okay, third mother, go get busy. Third master, I just want to ask about my parents. Who in the village received the call? How did my parents die?"

    "The township head answered the phone, and he told me that your parents opened fire with the enemy at the border and died. I don't know the details."  So I hurried back to inform Zhang Hongmei.

    "Third Master, can you take me to the village today to ask? I want to bring my parents back." Zhang Hongmei lowered her head after finishing speaking.

    "Middle, I'll take you to ask, this girl is filial, and she wants to bring your parents back, let's go, or I will go to the village for a meeting today, and our father and I will drive there, do you have thick cotton clothes at home?  You'll be freezing in no time."

    "Yes, I can wear my mother's military coat. I'll change it at home."

    "Go, find me in the brigade after a while."

    "Okay, third master, I'll go back and change it right away. You tell my third mother that I will go to the village with you. Our mother and I have agreed that my third mother will teach me how to make clothes."

    "Come on, let me say, let's go."

    Zhang Hongmei turned around and ran home.

    "Don't worry, don't run slowly, I'll be waiting for you in the brigade, don't stumble."

    "I know??.  "Zhang Hongmei replied without turning her head. When she got home, she took out her military coat and put it on, then locked the door and went to the brigade headquarters. You can't let people wait.

    Liu Maocai went back to the house and talked to Li Cuihua before putting on his cotton coat.

    "You said that girl Hongmei has really changed, but she is also really filial. The children in our family were not so sensible when they were older." Li Cuihua chatted with Liu Maocai.

    "It's not a big deal. This girl seems to have suddenly become enlightened after her parents died. That's right, can she not grow up when she encounters such a thing? Let's take care of her more in the future."

    "Well, I don't need you to tell me. Zhang Aiguo played with us when he was young. Even when he went out to serve as a soldier, he would visit us every time he came back. Now there is only a little flesh and blood left, so we have to take care of him no matter what.  .¡±

    "I've won, you know what you know and you'll win, I'm leaving." Liu Maocai got dressed and went out.  When I arrived at the brigade, I set up the ox cart by myself and Zhang Hongmei arrived.

    "Third Master, I'm here, let's go."

    "Let's go, you get in the car first, it will take about an hour for us to get there."

    "Third Lord, how do you know the time?" Zhang Hongmei asked after her.

    "I have a watch, did your dad bring it back for me from another place?" Liu Maocai raised his wrist to show Zhang Hongmei the watch.

    "What time is it, Third Master?"

    "It's eight thirty-five, why are you asking?"

    "It's nothing, just asking." Zhang Hongmei replied to Liu Maocai, but her consciousness entered the space, she found her watch and adjusted the time, saving herself from not knowing what time it is in the future.  I just don't know if Liu Maocai's time is accurate, so I'll ask others when I get to the village.

    "Don't talk when the wind is strong. You won't be choked by the wind. When the time comes, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. Just cat behind me and I will block you."

    "Well, I'll sit right behind you." Zhang Hongmei was really moved, the couple were really kind-hearted.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
