Chapter 74 You are living your own life

After listening to Yun Ermei's explanation, Yun Zhen understood.

There is no origin story in their family, but there are so many children that there is always favoritism and alienation.

Yun Ermei was indeed just as she guessed. She was not indifferent to the ridicule and insults, but in order to make her life easier, she deliberately ignored them and pretended to be free and easy.

How could a girl of this age really not care about her appearance?

Especially when the bad words and denial come from loved ones, it will cause a heart-wrenching blow.

If Xie Wenshuang, as a mother, behaves like this, the villagers will treat Yun Ermei even more disrespectfully.

It is not easy for Yun Ermei to live under such pressure for a long time and still develop a cheerful and righteous character.

Yun Zhen thought about it seriously and said to her:

"You live in your own life, not in other people's opinions."

"People who wantonly laugh at others' appearance and those who like to stir up trouble are not worth making friends with, let alone paying attention to."

"Women can also make a career, as long as you are willing to spend time and effort on it. There will be many opportunities in the future, and you can..."

Before she finished speaking, a pop-up window popped up on the system:

[Warning! Do not reveal future development trends or any specific events to the humans in the plane! ]

[Affecting the course of history will cause the plane to collapse, please be careful! ]

Okay, I almost let it slip.

Yunzhen was just making guesses based on her time, and she felt that the development process of Lilliput Kingdom in that era should be roughly the same.

The system's warnings confirmed this, and things were getting more and more interesting.

Yun Zhen took a detour and continued what he had just said: "You can be prepared and welcome opportunities at any time."

After hearing this advice, Yun Ermei was deeply moved.

You live in your own life, not in the opinions of others.

Don't let ridicule and abuse control your life, and don't let temporary adversity distort your will.

Women can also pursue their own careers, make a name for themselves, and enjoy flowers, applause, praise, fame and fortune!

This enlightenment was so important to her that she had the courage and confidence to get out of the trough.

She looked up at the sky excitedly and was speechless for a long time.

Finally, he clasped his hands together with trembling hands, bent his knees and prepared to kneel down and kowtow to thank the mountain god for his enlightenment.

Yun Zhen felt a chill down his spine again, and he held Yun Ermei up reflexively, and said:

"No need to kneel. Not every deity is particular about these formalities. I would be happy if I could inspire you."

Yun Ermei tilted her head back, big tears streaming down her face.

The snail shell that pretended to be strong collapsed, revealing a soft and sincere heart.

She choked and kept repeating: "Thank you, thank you..."

Thank you for your encouragement, thank you for appearing in this world and lighting the way forward for me who is lost.

The two chatted for a while on the mountain, and Yun Ermei's mood gradually calmed down.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Yun Zhen took back the two rooster bowls and asked Yun Ermei to wait for a while.

She went to the kitchen and cooked two bowls of noodles with vegetables and lean meat. There were two poached eggs on each bowl, and the amount of meat and vegetables was sufficient.

The people in the Age dimension have been hungry for a long time, and their stomachs cannot withstand greasy food.

Yunzhen's dish is relatively light, but with the help of broth, it still tastes fresh and delicious.

After cooking, she shrank the two bowls of noodles, along with two ceramic spoons and two pairs of wooden chopsticks, and handed them to Yun Ermei on a tray.

"Take it back and eat it while it's hot, and come back in the evening."

Yun Ermei thanked them and happily went down the mountain with her lunch.

Seeing that nothing was happening, Yunzhen went back next door to have dinner with his parents.

***

In the old house, Xu Changhe's high fever has subsided and his body temperature is around 37 degrees.

He felt rather weak, his breathing was slightly hot, and his mind was numb and unable to work.

Yun Ermei returned with the noodle soup, placed it on the wooden table in the house, and called him: "Come and eat noodles, this is a gift from the mountain god."

Xu Changhe sat up slowly, and staggered as he put on his shoes and prepared to stand up.

Yun Ermei quickly supported him and took him to the table to sit down.

Seeing the bowl of rich noodle soup, Xu Changhe was stunned: "This noodle..."

It was incredible to see such good food during the famine years.

Ever since his family property was taken away, he lost his life of luxury, and had no idea where his next meal would come from. He had never seen such steaming hot food again.

Yun Ermei replied with a smile on her face: "This noodles is really delicious, isn't it? I have never eaten such delicious food in my life! The mountain god said that he will send us food in the next few days, so eat to your heart's content!"

Xu Changhe frowned, wondering if the mountain god was being nice to them for some other purpose.

But when I think back to yesterday's bizarre experience, I feel like I'm overthinking it.

He and Yun Ermei were penniless and had nothing on them that anyone could target.

The mountain god possessed such great power that he could kill and give life at will, so he didn't need to plot against them at all.

Xu Changhe raised his eyes and saw that Yun Ermei was eating with relish and satisfaction, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The fragrance of the soup noodles wafted into his nose, and he felt a little hungry.

So he picked up the chopsticks and spoon and started eating slowly.

This lunch took a while.

Because the rooster bowl has a larger capacity, Yunzhen put more ingredients when cooking the noodles. This bowl of noodles can make a strong adult man have a full meal, but of course two hungry boys and girls cannot finish it.

Halfway through the meal, the two stood up and walked around for a while.

After a little digestion, sit down and continue eating.

By the time they finished eating everything, both of them were full as expected.

Yun Ermei's depression disappeared and she was in a good mood. After walking around the yard for a few times, she said to Xu Changhe:

"I want to change my name! You've been educated, can you help me pick a nice name?"

"There are too many girls like Daya, Ermei, and Sanni in the village. I don't want to be called Ermei, and I don't want to be like other girls, working hard for most of my life, and then looking back I don't know who I'm working for and who I'm living for."

"I want to make a career! Prove myself and tell everyone that I am not a 'money-loser'! Even if I can't do it now, as long as I work hard, I will be able to do it one day!"

Xu Changhe was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at her with a stunned expression for a long while.

He felt that Yun Ermei was a completely different person after she came back from the mountain.

Like a dying seed, it struggles hard to sprout from the barren soil.

Finally she popped her head out, stretching out her tender branches and leaves in the sun, shining and full of vitality.

Xu Changhe was infected by her spirit and seemed to have gained strength and momentum.

He looked at the girl in front of him who was full of energy, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."

***

Naming is not an easy thing.

Naming someone else is even more difficult.

Xu Changhe is 15 years old, just like Yun Ermei.

Having studied in school for a few years, I can recognize most of the words in the dictionary.

After arriving in Qingshan Village, I slacked off for three years and only occasionally read the few books I brought with me.

Now, in order to name Yun Ermei, he took out the worn-out dictionary with curled edges.

I flipped through the pages one by one, comparing the meaning of each word.

I copied out all the words with beautiful meanings and before I knew it, they had filled up a page.

Yun Ermei came over to take a look with great anticipation, and found that there were many words she didn't recognize.

Many of the characters have a particularly large number of strokes, and just practicing writing them is enough to give her a headache.

So she quickly stopped Xu Changhe and said, "These words are too difficult. Can you choose something simple and elegant?"

Xu Changhe frowned, looked at her, and then looked at the words on the paper.

After thinking hard for a long time, he asked, "Then let's call her Yun Qiuying? Qiu means autumn, and Ying means hero."

The heroine, born in autumn, lends a helping hand in the darkest moment of his life.

His generosity, righteousness and perseverance are like a beacon in the darkness.

Yun Ermei looked at the name he wrote and repeated it several times.

The more he read it, the more he liked it. He nodded happily and said, "This is a good name! Let's call her Yun Qiuying."
