244. Mending clothes
Shi Gui choked for a while before she couldn't hold back her crying, Xizi said sister, and urged her tears down again, Mingyue looked at both ends, still holding the pot in her hand, and smiled: "It's a pot, it's clean after washing, crying for this." ”
Shi Gui didn't want to laugh, but she knew that Mingyue was coaxing her, so she curled the corners of her mouth, held down her eyes with a handkerchief, and her eyes were still red, and she beckoned Xizi to her side.
Xizi dragged her steps over, although she called her sister, but she hadn't seen Shi Gui for many years, Shi Gui stretched out her hand to pull him, the little boy was still a little awkward, lowered his head and didn't look at her, Shi Gui knew that he couldn't fully trust him at this time, and touched his head: "My sister is still a girl in the Song family, and in the past two years, I have redeemed my body, and I will buy a house in the back, and settle down, and our sister and brother will stay together." ”
Xizi listened and looked at Mingyue with his eyes, and after Shi Gui finished speaking, he said, "Big brother together." He has been with Mingyue for almost three years, and Shi Gui also knows that he can't leave him for a while, otherwise he won't rest assured that Xizi will stay by Mingyue's side, and he hasn't turned the corner yet, so he opened his mouth and nodded: "Okay, with Brother Wu." ”
She responded casually, but Xizi didn't think so, he firmly remembered that he wanted Mingyue to be his brother-in-law, and his face showed joy, Shi Gui saw that he was happy, and the more he was still a child, he rubbed his head and looked up at Mingyue.
Mingyue smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, and she thought that she didn't hurt him in vain after a hundred times, and happily patted his head, Xizi grabbed it with her backhand, but Mingyue took it falsely, and when Xizi raised her hand and couldn't take it back, she slapped it, this time it was a real hit on the head.
Ke Xizi was not annoyed at all, his face was puffed up, looking at it but happy, Shi Gui couldn't help but rejoice, she naturally knew that something was wrong with her brother, but he was only six years old when he was sold, and it was not easy to remember that he had a sister, and he lived in a barracks full of big men for nearly three years.
If it weren't for the bright moon who could laugh when the sky fell, she might not have developed a temperament, she smiled and watched them make a fuss, the dishes were not edible, and there was a casserole of duck, Mingyue saw her stretch out her hand, and her mouth said "oops": "Don't move, I'll take it." ”
Saying that, he picked up the sand pot and went to the hall, it was soup and meat, and there were fifty or sixty wontons in it, where could Shi Gui move, he walked like flying with both hands, and when he crossed the threshold, he jumped lightly, and landed steadily, the soup pot was placed in the middle of the table, and the lid was lifted, and the whole room was fragrant.
Shi Gui picked a very fat duck, knowing that it was difficult for the two of them to have oil and water in their ordinary stomachs, the duck's oil was not scraped, it was all stewed in the soup, and it was stewed in the morning, and the bones and flesh were stewed at this time, and the wild vegetables and duck meat were wrapped in the wontons, and the umami was tightly wrapped, and there was vegetable soup and duck soup in a bite, Mingyue served a bowl for Shi Gui, and Xizi had already exhaled and bit two.
Shi Gui made meat and vegetarian, vegetarian is for Ye Wenxin, another pot is cooked, two small green vegetables on the soup, sent to Ye Wenxin's house, Mingyue saw that she left the table, and put down the chopsticks, Xizi still bit the wonton skin in her mouth, sucked all the skin in, folded her hands, and waited for Shi Gui to serve on the table.
The more I stayed with Shi Gui, the more I remembered the original rules at home, my mother was the same, I had to wait for the family to gather before I started the banquet, my eyes stared at the wonton bowl, thinking that my sister agreed, the three of them lived together, and Mingyue didn't have to be separated, I was happy in my heart, and I smacked my mouth to count the wontons in my bowl.
Shi Gui sent the clear soup wontons in to Ye Wenxin: "Today, I wrapped the vegetable wontons, the girl will eat some, and Mrs. Liu will bring back the happy vegetables at night." "The countrymen do happy events, in order to appear decent, the dishes are built layer by layer, and they have to be set up to the ninth floor to have a face, how to finish a table of dishes, everyone brings a vegetable basket when they go, and when they are ready to go, they bring some candy and vegetables back, and they are touched by the joy of the newcomers.
There are not many people in the family, it is much simpler to eat, Ye Wenxin has always been a person who never gets tired of eating, but he has been in prison for more than a year, where is he still paying attention to what to eat, it is good for Mrs. Liu to make some side dishes and pickles, but it is not possible to cook on the stove, many dishes have to be cooked by Shi Gui himself, Ye Wenxin said: "You don't have to have vegetables, soup and meals at a meal, just eat some lunch." ”
At that time, she was very thin, and she had to eat vegetarian food, her face was white and sharp, Shi Gui looked uncomfortable, it turned out that a good girl, suffered like this, she couldn't eat it, and she ate tofu and eggs every day, so it was easy to raise it back.
She was afraid that Shi Gui would be tired, and how much effort would it take to rectify the food, so she watched Shi Gui busy inside and out, and joked: "A spoonful of food and a scoop of drink, who is unbearable? Who doesn't dare to be happy?"
It made Shi Gui laugh, and then changed from one table of dishes to two or three dishes, and when Shi Gui took care of Xizi, she couldn't spare a lot of effort to take care of Ye Wenxin, she also learned to wrap wontons and dumplings to make vegetarian cakes, take snacks to fill up, and eat it as a main meal.
She listened to the movement inside, Shi Gui came in with red eyes and red nose, but there was no gloom on his face, only joy, and he laughed: "Is this to keep the clouds open and see the moon?"
Ye Wenxin didn't know that Mingyue had been a Taoist priest and had an aisle number, so he said casually at this time, but Shi Gui couldn't help laughing: "It's because Mingyue saw that the clouds opened and the fog dispersed." ”
Ye Wenxin was surprised, but Shi Gui didn't explain, put down the wonton bowl, put on two plates of side dishes, and eggs were always indispensable for a meal, today is a hibiscus egg, cut a lot of fungus and mushrooms into it, Ye Wenxin ate it every day, frowning.
Shi Gui crossed his waist and said: "The girl is not allowed to be left, she has to eat it all, I counted six wontons for you, and there can be no less." Ye Wenxin ate less, he used to eat one or two as a snack, but now when he eats for dinner, he can only eat five or six: "I know, I can make my voice scream." Pushed her out of the room, knowing that she was going to accompany her brother, and made a look of rushing people: "You go quickly, I don't need you to watch anymore." ”
Shi Gui smiled and returned to the hall, and saw Xizi staring at the wontons, she blinked: "Why don't you eat?" Xizi glanced at Mingyue, the gong sounded in her belly, and it sounded several times, Mingyue just didn't hear it, and her ears were red: "Sit down and eat together." ”
The two of them ate the same thing, and even the soup and meat were served together, Shi Gui sighed: "No one is fighting with you, be careful, don't choke." "I still want to make a fish, but at this glance, neither of these two can eat fish, such a chewing method, you can't eat it even if you have spines.
This is how to eat in the barracks, when you go late, there is no half grain of rice in the rice bucket, and the food is served with soup in order to have a full stomach, and everyone's belly is half empty, and they are hungry every day.
These days, Shi Gui adds vegetables to Xizi every day, he has more meat on his face, and he is not so competitive in eating, he is such a little big person, he can eat twenty wontons when he lets go of his belly, or Shi Gui doesn't dare to give him food, Mingyue also held a spoon and asked him if he wanted it.
The duck wontons in a clay pot were eaten cleanly, Shi Gui put away a bowl, Mingyue had already filled the water tank, and followed her like a tail, Shi Gui went east to the east, and he went west to the west, and when she stopped, he said: "That clothes, I cracked open." ”
Shi Gui laughed when he heard this, and said strangely that he was wearing old clothes today: "Where is it broken?"
Mingyue pointed to her elbow, Shi Gui smiled again: "What about the pants?" Mingyue touched her nose and didn't speak, it's not that she didn't want to say, her thighs were torn, and her clothes were torn and she could say anything.
Mingyue doesn't know how to sew, the original clothes are torn and torn, and his own senior brother can't look past him to make up for him, this one is still a new one, take it off and see that it is a big piece, and the new clothes will be patched, so I can't bear it, not to mention that Shi Gui made it himself.
He carefully took out a cloth bag, Shi Gui shook it open and looked at it, and he was embarrassed to get up first: "I should be big enough, I didn't think it would be small, you stand up straight, I'll measure it for you." ”
Mingyue was really obedient and didn't move, Shi Gui took a ruler and came out, opened his hand and opened the tiger's mouth, and measured Mingyue's body, measuring the widest part of his upper body, the tips of his fingers fell on Mingyue's body, he held back his laughter first, but this little by little, itching from his back to his heart, Shi Gui felt that he was trembling, and patted him: "Don't joke, if you measure the stubble, it's still in vain to do another one." ”
Shi Gui only reached Mingyue's chest at this time, raised his hand and shook his wrist for half a day, saw that Xizi was thin, and asked him, "What do you eat on weekdays?"
Mingyue was all over the body at this moment, and her mind didn't know where to go, so she smashed it softly on her body, and she was dry, if she hadn't practiced and adjusted her breath, she would have gasped at this time.
I was anxious to rush back to the cold water, and I was glad that Xizi was playing outside, there were only the two of them in the house, I was afraid of being spied on, so I couldn't bear to think about it, but my nose smelled the cool fragrance on her body, and I couldn't bear to sweat, Shi Gui wrote down his ruler, took a deep breath, and then came back a few times, it had to be suffocated.
Mingyue didn't have anything to say, seeing that she still had the old skirt on her, as if she was wearing it before he left Jinling, she regretted it in her heart, she knew that she shouldn't have given all the money so happily, and bought her a piece of flower material when she went to town, the more flowers she had, the better she looked at it.
Shi Gui didn't know what he was thinking, pulled a stool and sat in the yard, folded the thread wider, when she did it, she thought about enlarging it, leaving an inch on both sides of the horizontal, the small scissors were in her hand and picked up the thread one by one, Mingyue sat on the steps beside her, and looked at her from time to time.
Xizi sat on the threshold, looking at the past from a distance, the wedding team entered the village, faintly could still hear a little gong, the yard was quiet, there was moss in the cracks of the brick floor, the well platform was covered with a wooden cover, and there were chickens in the bamboo basket at the corner of the wall, as soon as he felt peaceful, his eyes were closed, and he listened to the sister and the eldest brother talking in the house, so he held his head and fell asleep.
