Chapter 168 Pei Ye Extra 97
Hua Rong sighed inwardly and pretended to be relaxed, "After so many years, you still can't forget him. You have been guarding here alone for so many years."
Ah Yao smiled bitterly and said, "I can't forget him. He and I grew up together and depended on each other. I was able to survive and not be bullied because of his sincerity. Later, I was lucky enough to learn embroidery, so I could partner with you to run this clothing store."
A Yao gradually fell into reminiscence and said slowly to Hua Rong, "After gradually expanding this clothing store, we finally saved enough money for our wedding, but he left me forever. Even if you arrived in time to save my life, how could I still be alive today?"
Hua Rong said helplessly, "If I hadn't tried so hard to persuade you, you would have gone with him a long time ago."
A Yao said canran: "Yes, I worked so hard to earn money, wasn't it just to marry him? At that time, I just thought, since he is dead, what is the point of all this, I just wanted to be with him."
……
It turns out that when A Yao was young, she was also a beautiful girl. When she was five years old, her parents had an accident and both died. She depended on A Cheng, another orphan who had also lost his parents.
A Yao suddenly started coughing violently, and scenes from the past emerged in his mind.
The two have often played together since they were born. Their parents are familiar with each other and love them very much. They once joked that they would grow up to be husband and wife and live happily together.
Unfortunately, an accident happened later and the two happy families were broken. Ah Cheng was three years older than herself, so he took the initiative to comfort herself. Gradually, the two began to understand that their parents would never come back.
From then on, Ah Cheng grew up overnight, and the two began to snuggle up to each other, depend on each other, and keep each other warm. The parents at home still saved some food, which was enough for the two of them to have food and clothing for about a year.
I was too young at that time and couldn't do any work, so the heavy burden fell on Ah Cheng.
The food in the house was almost all corn, sweet potatoes, flour and other foods that could be preserved. They were originally prepared by the two families to save for the winter. Unexpectedly, once they left the house, they would be separated forever.
Since Ah Cheng was a little older and had seen how his parents prepared these foods, it was not too difficult for him to cook corn and sweet potatoes. There was firewood at home, so he only needed to fetch water every day to cook the sweet potatoes.
After a while, seeing the food dwindling day by day, Ah Cheng seemed to understand something and deliberately reduced his food intake again and again.
No matter how frugal he was, the sweet potatoes and corn would eventually run out, not to mention eating them for three meals a day.
Ah Cheng became very distressed, as he knew that people would starve to death if they did not eat. He accidentally discovered flour, and after carefully recalling how his parents made flour, he began to make it himself.
It was my first time using flour to cook food, and I only made two bowls of simple dumpling soup. But it was okay, at least I wouldn’t be hungry.
However, due to not eating protein and fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time, he, who was only five years old at that time, began to become thin and malnourished. Ah Cheng was very anxious when he saw the changes in himself.
He began to ask questions and learned that he had become thin because he had not eaten fruits and vegetables for a long time, but he had no money, so how could he let A Yao eat fruits and vegetables?
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Ah Cheng made a decision. He had seen those firewood sellers in the market, so he started going out early and coming back late, going out into the mountains to chop firewood early every morning...
