Karen put her things away, then took the cane in her hand and said to Rosemary, "Rosemary, let me take you home first!"
Looking at the uncle who had already walked away, Rosemary suddenly asked to Karen: "Karen, do you think I'm useless, so big that a person is still pecked by a hen!"
Looking at Rosemary, Karen was really tempted to nod, after all, such a big person can be pecked by chickens injured like this, if the other people in the village, will certainly laugh off, but from the first time she met Rosemary, he knew that this sister usually at home is certainly not doing housework.
"Does Rosemary want to hear the truth or ......"
Rosemary's eyebrows touched lightly as she looked at Karen in disbelief.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Karen said slowly: "In fact, Rosemary thought too much, even if we deal with poultry all year round, sometimes it is inevitable that they will be pecked, not to mention that you have not been exposed to these things?"
"How do you know I haven't been exposed to these things?"
Karen picked up her cane and walked side by side with Rosemary as she said, "Because of your hand and the fact that I guessed it when you asked me why the hens pecked you!"
After a pause, Karen continued, "Your hands are white, tender and smooth, the book says ten fingers do not touch the spring water, probably means people like you!"
Listening to Karen, Rosemary felt that this girl was very smart and attentive, so she asked, "You know a lot, by the way, I see your grade, you should have almost graduated from high school!"
Karen's body trembled slightly, and her face had a slightly lost expression as she said, "I only went to elementary school for three years, because we are so remote here that we simply cannot go out to study outside, and the teachers outside are not willing to come to such a poor and remote place."
Rosemary did not think that the children here are so poor, like Karen said out these things before only in the point of time to read, but the children there, although poor, but at least there are people to sponsor them, unlike the children here, obviously how much the heart is eager to be able to enter the paradise of knowledge, but because of various reasons, was forced to even read is a luxury.
"What about the teachers who used to teach you?" Looking at Karen, Rosemary asked.
"Henry accidentally fell down the valley during a trip up the mountain to cut firewood, and by the time everyone found out, the teacher had already left us!" After saying that, Karen's nasal voice was also getting heavier.
Patting Karen's shoulder, Rosemary said with a smile, "I'm sorry that my sister brought up your sad story!"
Sucking in her nose, Karen wiped away the tears on her face with her hand and said with a smile, "Rosemary, it's not your fault, I just thought of Henry for a moment, so I didn't hold back for a while and made my sister look funny!"
"Fool, you miss your benefactor, what's wrong with that!"
Karen laughed and looked at Rosemary and asked, "Rosemary, by the looks of you, you must have read a lot of books!"
"I should also be considered a college graduate! Because I studied acting, we came out a year early for my internship, and I won't be able to get my diploma until the first half of next year!" Looking at the naive Karen, Rosemary said.
Karen looked at Rosemary with envy. If only she could go to school too, how great it would be!
But such thoughts can only be thought of when dreaming, now even if a teacher comes, the family can't afford to send her to school.
Seeing that Karen hadn't said anything, Rosemary stopped, looked back at her, and called out, "Karen, what's wrong?"
"Huh?"
