Chapter Eighty-Five: Telling the Year
Morning!
The first to wake up was Zhou Shujie, and she didn't sleep well last night.
Originally, I would get up twice a night to pee on my child.
But last night, she slept in a daze and touched the child, because she didn't touch herself.
When I woke up, I remembered where the child was sent to Guo San's sister-in-law?
Sighing, I thought that I thought that the child was not at home and could sleep peacefully.
I didn't expect it to be even more unsteady.
She looked out at the overcast sky.
After thinking about it, I decided to get up and not sleep!
He dressed lightly and went down to the ground, led the stove and burned the fire wall.
The firewood for the stove was carried and placed in the house in advance, and it was coaxed dry, and as soon as the stove was lit, it whined.
After a while, the temperature in the house went up.
Even the curtains hanging from the window showed signs of melting.
Zhou Shujie saw this scene and felt very beautiful.
There are so many pieces of glass on the window, and the pattern on each piece of glass is not the same.
Now when the stove is burned, the house is hot. If you swipe on it, it will drip down.
The water droplets on the top fall on the pattern below, just like the flowers on a midsummer morning swaying in the wind against the dewdrops.
Zhou Shujie sat there and enjoyed the beautiful scenery brought by nature for a while.
By the time she had seen enough, the water in the stove was already hot.
I picked up the pot and mixed it with half a basin of warm water, and began to wash my face, comb my hair, and brush my teeth.
Recently, Zhou Shujie feels as if her hair has grown again.
She braided her hair into a twisted braid, which might hit the ends when she sat on the kang, and she had been thinking about whether to cut it shorter for the past few days.
He combed his hair into a shiny hemp braid and looked at it carefully.
Zhou Shujie is very satisfied, now that her body is better, even her hair has become black and shiny.
Looking at such a long hair again, I decided in my heart that when I waited for the second day of February, I must cut it in half, it was too long to be played with in the summer.
After cleaning up, Zhou Shujie went to the outhouse to cook.
For breakfast today, she plans to make some sauerkraut soup noodles and eat them.
The sour appetizer, the hot noodles are full and hot to eat.
Before she could finish her meal in the house, her mother-in-law and Aunt Guo woke up one after another.
When the two old men woke up, they sat there and smiled at each other.
This smile seems to go back to the time when they slept in the same bed when they were young.
After they were all dressed, Aunt Guo folded the quilts one by one.
When Zhou Shujie entered the house, she saw Aunt Guo stacking the last mattress on the quilt.
She smiled and said, "I'm still thinking about going into the house and asking you to get up for dinner!
My mother-in-law was washing her face underground, so she didn't speak.
Aunt Guo smiled and said, "Isn't it, I'm getting up late today! As soon as I open my eyes, the sky is bright! If I was at home every day, I would have gotten up early."
At this time, the mother-in-law wiped her face and said with a smile to Aunt Guo: "You, you followed the toss for a day yesterday." You're 60 years old now. ”
Aunt Guo looked sad and lowered her head and sighed and said, "Alas, I'm old!hahaha!" After speaking, she couldn't help but laugh first.
made Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law laugh too, and her mother-in-law glared at her with disgust and said, "You can be weird." ”
Talking and laughing, he put it on the kang table and found the rice bowl.
Zhou Shujie's noodle soup was also ready and served.
Today's breakfast was simple and there were no dishes!
It's just a pot of noodle soup with pickles with green onions.
Just this simple meal, the three of them were sweating profusely.
Zhou Shujie also used the charcoal at the bottom of the pot to test a chili pepper.
put some red peppers in her bowl, and she ate it spicy, and she felt that she still enjoyed eating it like this.
After breakfast, Aunt Guo said a few more words to her mother-in-law.
After discussing it, they decided not to publicize the news of her mother-in-law's illness first.
After it was decided, Aunt Guo went home.
went back with her, and Zhou Shujie, she was going to pick up the child back.
Zhou Shujie originally planned to bring the two children back by herself.
After wrapping the child and picking it up, I tried the weight.
found that unconsciously, the two children had grown to the point that she could not hold alone.
In the end, it was Guo Sange who helped her hold a child and carry the milk powder, and the bottle was sent back to the three of them.
Third Brother Guo entered the house and put the child down. said hello to Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law didn't speak, just looked at Third Brother Guo and smiled.
And Guo Sange didn't look at his mother-in-law's eyes too carefully, so he didn't notice the change in his mother-in-law.
He just turned around and said to Zhou Shujie that they were going up the mountain in a while, and they went home.
Zhou Shujie sent Guo Sange back.
I saw that my mother-in-law had opened the two children's bags.
Sitting there, smiling and watching the two children play with their legs on their hands and feet beside her.
As soon as he saw Zhou Shujie coming back, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you ask anything outside?"
Although the preface of the mother-in-law's question did not match the afterword, Zhou Shujie understood that what she asked was whether Guo Sange could see that she was cured, and asked her about it outside. He smiled and shook his head.
Zhou Shujie also took off his shoes and put on the kang, and sat there watching the child turn over and over for a while, treating himself as a big cake, flipping back and forth there.
In the middle of the morning, two adults sat there teasing the two children. One moment teasing them to climb the legs, the other teasing them to talk.
Until the child fell asleep, the mother-in-law didn't want to let go of the little granddaughter she was holding in her arms.
These two children, how she likes them, she can't wait to put them in her arms, so she won't let go.
In the end, Zhou Shujie was afraid that her mother-in-law would be tired, so she took the child out of her mother-in-law's hands and put it on the pillow.
The child fell asleep, and the room was quiet.
Zhou Shujie looked at her mother-in-law, thinking about how to ask about those things at home.
However, it didn't take her too long to dwell on it.
The mother-in-law took the lead and said, "Our family is not poor and white, and we also smuggled some things back then, and these things were hidden by your father-in-law, the old man in my family." Even your Aunt Guo doesn't know these things, it's not that she doesn't trust them, but she didn't tell them because she was afraid that people would talk too much. ”
Zhou Shujie nodded and said, "I know, I won't go out and talk nonsense." I saw the gold under the rice bag under the chest. ”
Mother-in-law, first glanced at Zhou Shujie with some surprise.
Then a flash of realization flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Yes, the rice has been taken out and eaten, and the gold below is not so secret, how could you not find it!"
Then, with a little bit of mystery, he asked Zhou Shujie: "Do you still see the difference between our family?"
"Well, in addition to the gold underneath the rice, there are also things in the two cabinets. There are some stones in the cabinet of the pillars, I don't know what kind of material they are, mother-in-law, some of the embroidery pressed at the bottom of your cabinet, I took it out and secretly dried it in the summer. ”
Zhou Shujie paused, and then said: "Again, it's the thing behind the wall in our vegetable cellar." Although I don't know what it is, I reckon there should be porcelain inside. I once shook the candle and it was reflective. I'm guessing it's porcelain. ”
With Zhou Shujie's narration, when she later said the secret of the vegetable cellar, her mother-in-law's mouth opened wide and she looked at Zhou Shujie in surprise.
When the mother-in-law woke up, she asked nervously: "Are these things only you know, and you haven't told others?" ”
Zhou Shujie nodded and said, "Well, I didn't dare to say anything, and besides, I also stuffed the gold in our house behind that wall." Only two pieces were left, and they were placed under the feet of the cabbage shelf, and I didn't even take the rice at home to my mother's family, for fear that others would find out and hit the eyes. ”
In fact, Zhou Shujie doesn't need to explain things in such detail, but she doesn't want to get along with her mother-in-law for the first time, so she has nothing to hide from her mother-in-law.
After listening to Zhou Shujie's answer, the mother-in-law glanced at Zhou Shujie with a very pleased smile and praised: "Well, you are a strict mouth, and you are also a person who can get things done, which is very good!
The old lady praised Zhou Shujie like this, but complained about the old man in her heart. This dead old man also said at the beginning that as long as he didn't tell what he was hiding in the vegetable cellar, no one would be able to find out.
Look at it, isn't this for your daughter-in-law to see it!
Fortunately, the son's vision is good, and the daughter-in-law he married is a strict one, which has to be put on a stall to take care of his mother's family, and these things have long been exposed.
