Song Yuan
Chapter 43
This was an anti-theft badge.
Looking down at the bedding on her body, she found that it was seventy to eighty percent new.
From the memories of the original owner, it was already very good in this difficult era.
Song Xuan was originally a princess of the Jiang Kingdom. Although she was not the legitimate child of the Queen,
Her mother was one of the three wives, and Song Xuan also had a brother who was highly valued by her father. Naturally, no one dared to look down on her.
After reaching marriageable age, she married the Duke's heir.
Then from the heir's wife, the Duke's wife, and finally the old madam.
Even though his life had been rather smooth sailing, he was still able to live a good life.
She was trapped in this square courtyard for the rest of her life.
There was always some regret in her heart.
Who would have thought that just as he was about to die, he would suddenly hear a mechanical voice?
[You have a chance now,
You can go to a different world,
Experience a different life, learn the skills you like, are you willing?]
After she agreed to that strange voice,
She woke up in this shabby little room.
And there seemed to be some memories in her mind that she had never experienced before.
According to the "System" that called itself 0375, when she came to every world, she needed to complete the wishes or tasks left behind by the person who entrusted her.
Song Xuan did not immediately get up from the bed,
Instead, she closed her eyes and slowly absorbed the memories left behind by the original owner.
This world seemed to be more "advanced" than her era,
If the language of this era was used to describe it.
In Song Xuan's opinion,
This little girl, who was also called Song Xuan, was obviously a little too pure and kind.
In such a special period,
All kinds of rules and regulations were in chaos. Because the original owner's father and brother were in the military,
They were often subject to all kinds of interrogation and investigation,
Sometimes they would implicate the little girl.
The original owner's mother passed away due to a sudden illness when the original owner was still young.
Her father and brother couldn't bear to see the original owner in fear every day, so they thought of a way to send the original owner to this small village in Huai City as an educated youth. They were prepared to take the little girl back when the situation was better.
Song Xuan slowly opened her eyes. Thinking of what she had just "seen", she couldn't help but sigh for this little girl.
She got up and opened the bedside curtain. She casually tied up her scattered hair and slowly walked out to wash up in her slippers.
When she opened the door, she could see her current living environment. Because she came to this village as an educated youth, her living quarters were arranged by the village for educated youths to live in.
The walls of the house were made of mud, and the roof was made of thatch. The female educated youth's house was the same as the male educated youth's house. There were four mud houses arranged in a row, separated by a low mud wall in the middle. Some branches were inserted into the wall, and it could barely be considered as two independent small courtyards.
"Hey, what are you standing there for?
Why aren't you coming over to wash your face and eat? "
A beautiful girl stood at the kitchen door and smiled at Song Xuan.
Song Xuan looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It was such a delicate and pretty girl who caused the original owner to become like that in her previous life.
"Coming. You can eat first."
"En, then I'll take the porridge out and let it cool first. Hurry up!" Hu Mengyun said with a smile.
Song Xuan picked up his own toiletries and walked to the well to wash up. While filling the basin with water, he thought about it in his heart.
In her previous life, the original owner had just come to this small village. Because she didn't know anyone and the original owner wasn't a lively and outgoing person, she wasn't familiar with the people in the village.
At this time, Hu Mengyun, who came to the village a few years earlier than the original owner, took the initiative to show goodwill to the original owner and took care of her. The original owner believed in this big sister Mengyun without a doubt.
But in fact, Hu Mengyun only wanted to take advantage of the original owner and improve her life because she saw that the original owner was dressed well.
Who knew that the more she got along with the original owner, the more jealous Hu Mengyun became of the original owner. She schemed to let Zhao Wencai, who had a crush on her, get involved with the original owner and ruin the original owner's reputation in the village.
Because of the rumors and slanders, the original owner had no choice but to marry Zhao Wencai. She didn't even dare to inform her father and brother, so it wasn't until Song Family's big brother personally came to pick up her little sister that they found out that she was already married.
At this time, Zhao Wencai didn't get into university because of the college entrance exam. He was disheartened about returning to the city. When he suddenly found out that there was a chance to return to the city, how could he let it go?
After returning to the Song Family, although Father Song and Brother Song were very dissatisfied with Zhao Wencai, there was no other way.
Moreover, the original owner was already pregnant at the time. Father Song and Brother Song didn't tell her that Zhao Wencai used the Song Family's name and caused a lot of trouble.
Even Father Song's political opponents used this as a reason to attack him, causing his position to be replaced by someone else.
。
After Hu Mengyun got into university, her family's conditions weren't good, so she came to find the original owner.
But Father Song and Brother Song already knew what kind of person she was, so how could they allow her to get close to the original owner. However, Hu Mengyun still found an opportunity to hook up with Zhao Wencai.
When the original owner was pregnant for seven months, she saw with her own eyes that Hu Mengyun, who she regarded as her biological sister, was affectionate with her husband. She lost control of her emotions and rushed in front of them to reason with them. Unexpectedly, she was pushed to the ground by these two people and died of a miscarriage due to blood loss.
But even so, this little girl's last wish was to live a good life. She didn't want her father and brother to worry about her and hoped that they could live a happy life.
Song Xuan fished out a towel from the basin and forcefully wrung the water out. He gently wiped the water droplets on his face and then took the basin and toothbrush back to his room.
From a small square cabinet beside the bed, he took out the moisturizer that Brother Song had specially sent to him last time and evenly smeared it on his soft and white face.
After a while, Song Xuan stood up and observed himself in the mirror stuck to the wall. A pair of bright almond eyes, a delicate and straight nose, and a small mouth slightly pouted. His entire person looked lovable and obedient.
The weather in early spring was still a bit cold, so Song Xuan found a thick coat and put it on.
After putting it on, he put down the bun that he had casually tied up. Following his memories, his nimble fingers danced through his hair and quickly braided two loose braids for himself.
After freshening himself up, he opened the door and walked to the kitchen.
Although it was called a kitchen, it was actually just surrounded by corn stalks and covered with some thatch. It could barely shelter him from the wind and rain.
When he entered the kitchen, Hu Mengyun immediately smiled and said to him, "Huahua, why did you get up so late this morning?
I had to start the fire and cook porridge by myself. "
There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
"Maybe I was a little tired yesterday, so I slept more soundly!" Song Xuan picked up a bowl of porridge and said casually.
Hu Mengyun used the name of taking care of Song Xuan, but in fact, he pushed a lot of heavy work to Song Xuan. However, the little girl was naive and didn't think too deeply about it. She even thought that this elder sister was sincerely good to her.
Hu Mengyun saw that Song Xuan didn't talk about Elder Sister Mengyun this and that as usual, so he didn't dare to continue the previous topic.
"By the way, Huahua, our food is almost out, and the beef mince that your brother sent over last time has long been gone. Usually, we don't even have anything to eat.
What do you think …? "
After a moment of silence, Hu Mengyun carefully probed.
Song Xuan used a spoon to put the porridge into his mouth and looked up at her in surprise.
"Our rations are put together and kept by you. Moreover, these days, we've been eating the rice and noodles that my brother sent over.
Don't we also have the cornmeal and sweet potatoes that the village distributed? "
Hu Mengyun was a little embarrassed for a moment, as if she was angry that Song Xuan didn't agree to her request.
"Those cornmeal were too rough. I thought that you definitely wouldn't be able to eat it.
So I gave those to Wencai and the others.
I didn't have time to tell you. "
She spoke in a tone that said that she was thinking for Song Xuan.
"You gave it away?
Then Elder Sister Mengyun, do you have any other way to get food? "
Song Xuan asked curiously.
"How could I have any good ideas, but Huahua, aren't your family's conditions good?
How about … "
Before she finished speaking, Song Xuan already snorted unhappily.
"It's fine if you give my food away, but you still want my brother and father to starve and give you the food that they save?"
When Hu Mengyun heard this, she couldn't react for a moment.
In her imagination, Song Xuan should have run to write a letter to her brother at this time. How could he have such a reaction?
Hu Mengyun was a little surprised in her heart, but she was already explaining.
"It's because men eat more. Wencai and the others don't have enough food to eat. Everyone is unfamiliar with this place, so of course we have to take care of each other.
Since you're so kind, you definitely can't bear to see us comrades starve together, right … "
Hu Mengyun felt that after she said that, that fool still didn't agree quickly.
Unexpectedly, Song Xuan still acted as if he didn't hear it.
"Since you have such a high level of awareness, why don't you give your food to them and get my food back?"
Song Xuan snorted angrily.
Hu Mengyun froze on the spot for a moment. She didn't expect Song Xuan to say that.
She still wanted to say something, but Song Xuan didn't want to listen anymore.
She finished the porridge and didn't say anything. She raised her hand and put the bowl down.
Then, she looked at Hu Mengyun expressionlessly. Her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through all her intentions.
Hu Mengyun looked at Song Xuan and was a little scared for a moment.
Song Xuan glanced at her again. "I'm going to work. If sister Mengyun doesn't want to get the food back, then you … work more and see if you can exchange for more food!"
After saying that, he picked up the bowl and washed it in the basin. Then, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Hu Mengyun watched Song Xuan walk out directly. Her heart was about to die. How could she give all the food to Zhao Wencai? She only gave Song Xuan's share away.
Originally, she wanted to coax her to send some good things over. Who knew that this person seemed to be enlightened.
She couldn't help but feel a little angry. It seemed that she would have to eat those throat piercing cornmeal again.
… …
The educated youth lived in a relatively remote part of the village. No one lived in the west, and it was all fields.
Song Xuan left the courtyard. He didn't walk to the main road. Instead, he walked directly to the fields.
Then, a sweet voice said, "No, auntie. Is brother Zhizhou here?"
"Yes, he's eating breakfast!
Do you want me to get you a bowl of porridge? "
"Okay, thank you auntie."
Xu Zhizhou looked up again. There was another little guy in front of him. Yes, he didn't come out with a messy hairstyle today.
"Good morning, brother," Song Xuan said to Xu Zhizhou with a sweet smile.
"Yes," Xu Zhizhou responded. Then, he asked her, "Why aren't you eating?"
"Oh, … Because I want to see Big Brother as soon as possible!" The little guy's mouth was full of sweet nothings as he giggled.
Xu Zhizhou coughed lightly. His ears were slightly red. He said in a low voice, "It's not good for your health to not eat breakfast. Don't do this in the future."
Song Xuan nodded obediently. "Okay."
After breakfast, Xu Zhizhou went to the study to do the Mathematical Olympiad questions he found online. Song Xuan sat next to him. She didn't disturb him. She took a few pieces of white paper and scribbled on it.
The two of them did their own things. Neither of them spoke, but the air was filled with a warm atmosphere.
After Xu Zhizhou finished the questions, he realized that the person sitting next to him had disappeared. He turned around and saw this scene. He couldn't help but laugh.
In the corner of the bookshelf, there was a single sofa. Usually, no one sat there. Now, there was a little guy curled up in it, sleeping soundly. Because the space was a little small, she looked aggrieved.
Xu Zhizhou walked over gently. He took a closer look and chuckled. He saw that the little girl's hand under the pillow was tightly clutching an English novel. Perhaps she was too bored, so she casually used it as a pillow under her head.
Xu Zhizhou squatted down and touched the little girl's hand. It was a little cold. He slowly took the book out of her hand and lifted her up effortlessly. Perhaps because he disturbed her, the little girl groaned and called out "brother" in a daze. Xu Zhizhou didn't know what to do for a moment. He stood there, not knowing what to do.
Then, he saw the little girl rub against his chest like a kitten. She fell asleep peacefully.
Xu Zhizhou carried her to the guest room. He carefully put her down and covered her with a blanket. Then, he turned around and left.
At noon, Father Xu and Mother Xu called back. They said that they had a last-minute lunch appointment and wouldn't be home for lunch. They asked the auntie to make him something to eat.
