Chapter 38: Live with Me

After his son asked for one fish basket per person, after dinner, Xing Dafu, who had nothing to do, went to the bamboo forest by the river to cut bamboo, and skillfully weaved two small fish baskets around the bonfire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The children slept soundly in the house, and occasionally heard a dream word or two, Xing Dafu smiled, got up and covered them with quilts, and returned to the campfire to continue what he was doing. By the time he finished weaving the fish basket, the moon had already risen above his head, shining on his body, imprinting a short shadow, Xing Dafu stretched his waist, and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

"Big brother, big brother, something happened to Dad. ”

Xing Dafu, who had not yet entered the door of the house, heard someone shouting at the bottom of the river valley, and was afraid of waking up the children, so Xing Dafu put the fish basket under the eaves and walked along the path to the river.

"Dagui, in the middle of the night, who had an accident?"

"Dad, Dad had an accident, he passed out in the afternoon, and he hasn't woken up yet, so go and take a look. ”

Xing Dafu didn't say a word, he took a big step and ran forward, not caring about Xing Dagui, who was panting and puffing behind.

The old yard of the Xing family

Xing Dafu directly entered Xing Wanlu's house, looked at Xing Wanlu lying on the kang, and shouted Xing Wanlu vigorously,

"Daddy, daddy, wake up, I'm rich, daddy. ”

Xing Dafu shook vigorously again, Xing Wanlu slowly opened his eyes, and when he was about to say something, he found that his mouth was crooked, and he couldn't speak well.

"I'm ,,, me, what's wrong?"

"Dad, you passed out in the afternoon, it's night now, are you hungry or not, I'll go and make you something to eat." ”

Xing Dafu looked at his father with a crooked mouth and evil eyes, and felt very uncomfortable, and when he saw him nodding, he motioned to his brother-in-law to cook something to eat.

"Big brother, our two rooms have been separated, and I have to take out this rice before I can cook it. ”

He Wenbi said and looked at the old lady Xiong sitting on the side, Xiong Defen had no choice, took out the bag containing rice from under the bed, grabbed a little and put it in He Wenbi's hand.

"No, take it, don't take it from it. ”

Xing Dafu was a little unbelievable, Xing Dagui actually got out, so he asked puzzledly,

"Mother, why did Dagui get separated?"

Mrs. Xiong originally wanted to spit out her bitterness with the boss, but thinking about him framing herself, she was in the wrong mood.

"Hmph, don't talk about the second child first, you explain to me first, when you divided it, did you deliberately not ask for food and wanted to frame me?"

"Mother, you had to live and die for food at the beginning, why do you blame me now?"

"You're still quibbling you. ”

Mrs. Xiong got a wooden stick in her hand, and beckoned to Xing Dafu, beating and scolding.

"You turtle son, you white-eyed wolf, Lao Tzu raised you for nothing, so I will kill you today. ”

"You ,,, you,,(stop) hurting hands,cough,,cough,coughcough." Xing Wanlu slapped the bed board with all his strength and shouted weakly.

"Dad, how are you, don't be angry. Xing Dafu also ignored the stick that beckoned straight to him, and gave Xing Wanlu a breath.

"Mother, don't make trouble, dad is like this, can you talk about the food later, let's go find the barefoot doctor in Fujia Village." ”

The old lady bear glanced at the old man lying on the bed,

"I don't have the money to find a doctor, don't worry, your father is very hard, the landlord was so cruel back then/He didn't die, just lie down for a few days." ”

When Xing Wanlu heard his mother-in-law say this, he coughed violently again, and almost lost his breath. Xing Dafu was also chilled when he heard it, but he didn't expect that at this time, his mother was reluctant to pay that money.

"Okay, you are reluctant to take the money out to see your father, I will pay for it, but my father will have to live with me in the future. ”

When Mrs. Xiong heard that someone was willing to take over this crippled and sick old man, her heart blossomed, and she hurriedly nodded and agreed, afraid that if it was too late, Xing Dafu would regret it.

"Well, it's too late today, and I can't see clearly on the road, so I'll leave work early tomorrow and come to pick him up. ”

After Xing Dafu fed Xing Wanlu, he went back to his thatched house when he fell asleep.

The next morning, the three little things were woken up by a fragrant smell of rice cereal, and they rushed to the kitchen, only Xing Youyou, a poor little girl, was lying in the quilt and couldn't go anywhere.

"Dad, why did you boil rice paste today?" asked Xing Youliang in surprise.

"Grandpa is sick, don't finish this rice cereal, leave some for grandpa to eat at night. ”

"Well, got it. The two drooling brothers replied in unison.

"It's a little while, let's go see the fish basket that Daddy made for you." ”

"Done so quickly?"

Xing Youliang looked at his father with adoring eyes, and Xing Youqian had already gone to find the fish basket.

"Well, I made it up last night when I had nothing to do, so let's put them in the river later. ”

"Wow, I know there's a good place, it's there when the water rises in the summer, or Xiao Wu told us. ”

"Little Five, that's also a poor kid with no father and no mother, you have to be nice to others in the future, you know? Don't bully him. ”

"Well, he's not bad, he won't bully him. ”

Xing Dafu left most of the rice paste out, and gave the rest of the water to the children to eat, even Xing Youyou had a share, and they were all satisfied.

"It seems that I don't have to wash the dishes today, and even the pot is so clean. Xing Dafu laughed and joked.

Afternoon

Xing Dafu deliberately left work a little early, went to the place where the fish basket was put in the morning, and thought about boiling a bowl of fish soup for his father to make up for it, but when he took out the fish basket and looked at it, sure enough, there were only two small fish, which might be used to stuff the teeth just right, it seems that the fish in the river have really been caught clean, but it is better than nothing, add some sauerkraut, and it is okay for my father to eat alone.

Xing Dafu took out two small fish, put the fish basket down again, and walked directly to the old courtyard of the Xing family.

After Xing Dafu handed over the two small fish to his brother and daughter-in-law to cook, he stayed in the room to chat with Xing Dagui.

"Dagui, what do you think, how did you get separated. ”

"Big brother, I still don't want to divide it, it's all Wenbi's idea. ”

"You're still not a man, why are your ears so soft, she does whatever she tells you to do. ”

“,,,,”

"Forget it, forget it, it's all divided, Dad, I'll pick it up today, you take good care of our mother in the future, wait for me to go to Fujia Village to find Dr. Niu, you and your brother-in-law will carry your father to me first." ”

"Well, okay, no problem. ”

I talked to my brother about something else, and I thought that the fish soup was almost ready, so I wanted to feed my father, but I went to the kitchen and looked around and couldn't find it, except for an empty bowl on the stove.

"He Wenbi, He Wenbi,,"

He Wenbi, who was collecting clothes outside, heard as if it was the eldest brother calling him in the kitchen,

"What's the matter, I'm out there collecting clothes. ”

"Where's the fish soup?"

"Didn't you put it on the stove?"

"I see the empty bowl, where's the fish soup?"

"How is it possible, I obviously ,,,"

He Wenbi was also dumbfounded when she looked at the empty bowl on the stove,

"This, it must be Xing Guihua, she stole the rice cereal last time. ”

"Even the food for my father's illness is stolen, no one cares, I will take care of it. Xing Dafu took the feather duster and went to the room where he used to live.

"Xing Guihua, did you say you stole your father's fish soup?"

Xing Guihua, who was arranging her big braids in the mirror, didn't look at him and replied,

"I didn't steal it, it was Xiaolan who stole it. ”

"When I was chatting with your second brother before, I heard him say that the two children went to grandma's house, how could they steal food, you are a girl, you dare to lie to your brother who grew up with you since childhood, my mother doesn't care about you, my father can't control you, today I'm the eldest brother to take care of you. ”

After Xing Dafu finished speaking, he raised his feather duster and started fighting.

The old lady bear who was protecting the cubs heard the movement and hurriedly came to persuade her.

"Didn't you say to go to Dr. Niu, it's so late, and you still want to stay and eat my food?"

"Hmph, mother, you just spoil her, see if you can spoil her for a lifetime?"

Leaving this sentence, Xing Dafu went to Fujia Village.
