Chapter 22: The Second Sister's Heart
The eldest sister was 13 years old at the time, and she was already in the first year of junior high school, although she was also studying in the middle school in the countryside, but her schoolwork was heavier than me and my second sister who were still in elementary school, so they usually came back later than us.

"Excuse me? Where did you go crazy last night? At noon, the second sister came back once, saying that you are sick, and you came to my school to find me after school, and I asked for leave for the last class, just to see what kind of disease your baby has? β
Listening to the eldest sister say this, I was a little moved in my heart, the second sister and I went to elementary school in the countryside, it was difficult for her not to eat and rest at school at noon, thinking about me, and she came back to see me from afar, and it was difficult for the eldest sister to hear that I was sick, and I didn't go to the last class.
"Okay, eldest sister, stop pinching him, our mother said he has a fever." Seeing that the eldest sister kept pinching my face, the second sister said softly next to me.
The eldest sister probably also because I was sick, too lazy to bother with me, let go of my face, took out a white iron lunch box from the schoolbag, it was the lunch box that the eldest sister used to bring rice at noon, she opened the lunch box, put it in front of me and said: "It's cheap for you, eat." β
When I saw the lunch box, I was very happy, because it contained a bunch of purple grapes, and it looked like it was ripe.
I couldn't wait, I was about to reach out and grab it, but the second sister snatched the lunch box and said so gently: "If you want to wash, wait for my sister to wash it." β
I laughed twice, turned my head and asked the eldest sister, "Where did you get it?" β
"The vines planted in my fellow student's yard bear fruit later than in the field, and I don't want you to ask for it when you are sick? Now I have to copy a week's notes for others, and if you are so skinny in the future, see that I don't beat you. "The eldest sister is talking in a hurry, and my mind is completely on that bunch of grapes, whatever the eldest sister says, I smirk.
Soon, the second sister washed the grapes, sat on the edge of my bed, carefully peeled the skin and fed me, and the eldest sister still chattered about me, I don't care, the grapes are sweet, what does it matter if I am trained?
While eating, the second sister suddenly looked at the eldest sister and said, "Sister, when you just came back with me all the way, did you see a strange woman?" β
"What's the strange woman?" The eldest sister was busy training me, and replied indifferently.
"It's standing under the big locust tree not far from my house, I accidentally saw it, she" The second sister's face was not good-looking, and it seemed that the memories were not very pleasant.
But the eldest sister doesn't care, it's just a woman, there aren't many women and children in this village? Sometimes it's common for people from the next village to come over, and besides, isn't it normal to stand under a tree to avoid the sun?
Not only didn't the eldest sister care, but even I didn't care, I said that my mind was all on the grapes, even if there were no grapes, I would definitely not pay attention to this little thing.
So the topic mentioned by the second sister was finally said by the eldest sister: "I didn't see it, and if she says a woman, she is weird, and it's none of our business." "Brought it with me.
In this way, my second sister stopped talking, a little sullen, just feeding me grapes one by one, obviously suddenly my heart was very serious, and I didn't notice it at all.
I didn't notice it, and my second sister didn't mention it, she was that character, very quiet, as if she was afraid of troublesome others, and she was very weak.
After eating grapes for a while, my second sister seemed to have mustered up enough courage and looked at my eldest sister, looking very eager to speak, but by coincidence, my mother shouted in the yard: "Come rich." "Caught my attention!
Crispy pork is coming?! My heart became excited, to be honest, it's good to be sick, you can sleep as long as you want, but it's boring, this time the crispy meat is coming, but it's not boring, I immediately jumped up from the bed and shouted: "Mom, is the crispy meat coming?" β
This shout seemed to discourage the second sister's hard muster, and only the eldest sister's voice reprimanding me was left in the room: "Chen Chengyi, look at your appearance, how do you look like a patient, I was fooled by you, and I brought you grapes." β
As soon as the crispy meat came, my eldest sister took my second sister's hand and went out, and they still had to do their homework, and they were happy to have crispy meat with me.
As soon as the crispy meat came in, he didn't care about the panting appearance because of his fatness, and said, "Sanwa'er, I'm not a traitor." β
Originally, I didn't think about this stubble, but as soon as he said that I had a little understanding, if it weren't for this kid, would my dad have come to the countryside to find me yesterday? I deliberately said with a tiger face: "I said that I am not a traitor, my father told me." β
Crispy scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, and explained to me, "I really gritted my teeth at first!" My dad picked up a broom and tried to hit me yesterday, and I didn't betray you. I thought, give me chili water, go to the tiger chair, I don't have to sell you. β
"Don't talk nonsense, then you didn't betray me in the end, you traitor, the Red Army team must not want you!" I'm a cheater, this kid is sometimes cute and cute, otherwise he can't be bullied by me all the time.
"Oh, no, you know I'm not afraid of scolding, I'm not afraid of beating, but I'm just afraid that I won't be able to eat, my dad said yesterday, if I don't say it, he won't give me food for a week, and he said that what my chickens eat, just give me food! Do you know, my chickens eat cabbage leaves and bran, how can I eat them? "Crispy Meat looks sincere.
But I didn't give up, I lifted the quilt and put my head on the crispy meat, shouting: "Comrades, we will defeat the traitors"
As a result, I went crazy in the room with Crispy Meat, and speaking of which, Crispy Meat indirectly rescued me, and I wasn't angry with him at all, I was just bored and wanted to play a battle hero who defeated the traitor.
Crazy enough, Crispy Meat and I were lying upright on the bed, because of this trouble, I sweated a lot, and I felt a lot more relaxed from the heaviness of my body.
At this time, Crispy Meat spoke: "Sanwa'er, I don't think I want to be a Red Army anymore." β
"Why?"
"My father said that the Red Army did not eat well and worked hard, so if you want to be a capable person, drink wine and eat meat every day, have electric lights and telephones at home, live in a big tiled house, and live in a big yard, you can be considered powerful."
"Sounds okay, if you're going to be really good one day, do you want to invite me to dinner?"
"Eat? I'm going to treat you to braised pork! I think you're better than me, dogs lied to you! I will definitely try my best to be such a powerful person in the future, I will make 100 yuan when I grow up, but I think you have to help me, I'm afraid I can do it. β
"Good!"
This conversation was quite naΓ―ve at the time, but in retrospect, I felt that fate was a very miraculous thing.
That's all for our conversation, because after a while, my mom will have a meal at my house, and I'm still porridge and kimchi.
My illness eased a lot on the second day, and on the third day I was able to go to school alive, and my life at school was still the same, but I had the same task as Crispy Meat, which was to spit behind Liu Chunyan's back every day after school.
Then, when he met Liu Chunyan to complain, he was beaten again!
But who am I? I am a combat hero, and the more I beat me, the more 'tenacious' I vomited, and that energetic appearance gave my parents a headache.
And while my parents have a headache for me, they also have a headache for another person, that person is my second sister, compared with my life, she is very 'Yanba' these days.
Originally, my second sister was a quiet person, and at first her silence did not attract much attention from my parents, but it was not until later, when she couldn't say a word for a day, which made my mother feel that there was one less person in the family, so she paid attention to my second sister's situation.
For example, my second sister's eyes are very big and very smart, but recently those eyes are often unfocused, and they look hollow and tight, and she is very frightened when she calls her.
In addition, my mother also found that when my second sister had eyes, her eyes were very melancholy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Then, my second sister's meal became less and less, and she became more pale.
After discovering these problems, one night, the lights in my parents' house never went out, why did I know about this? Because the small room I lived in was divided into a large bedroom by their house, I was even woken up in the middle of the night by their voices, but the sound was suppressed, and I tried to listen, but I couldn't hear anything.
While hearing these sounds, I also noticed the light coming through the crack in the door, and when I woke up at dawn, it was still on.
