Chapter 7: Eating a Ghost

Zhou Xiaoliu was knocked unconscious, and when she woke up, she found that only an hour had passed, and her head was smeared with bruising potion, exuding a smell of flushing her nose.

"Just show that you can, and dare to rush over and bite Dad's leg, does your head still hurt?" Zhou Xiaoxian said and gently pulled away the hair from Zhou Xiaoliu's injured part, looked at it, and said: "It's okay, it's not swollen anymore, it's okay to apply the medicine twice more." ”

"Third sister, do you still have food?" Zhou Xiaoliu's head didn't hurt too much, but she was dizzy, and before she could think about it, there was a "cooing" sound from her abdomen, she hadn't eaten lunch yet.

Zhou Xiaoxian stepped on a small stool and looked towards the second floor of the cabinet, then turned around and said, "No, I left you a small bowl before, but it must have been eaten by Xiaopeng." Our mother took Xiaopeng and Xiaocheng out, saying that she was going to grandma's house. Before leaving, he said that this bag on your head is not big, it is nothing, let me get you a potion and wipe it. Let the eldest sister cook sweet potato porridge for us in the evening. ”

Zhou Xiaoliu knew that Zhou's mother would not go back to her parents' house at all, she must have taken Zhou Peng and Zhou Cheng to visit the vegetable field in the back mountain.

Zhou's mother did go to the back mountain, one is that she needs to be calm and calm, and the other is to see if there are any dishes that can be picked and eaten. I remember that not long after the wedding, Dad Zhou beat her for the first time, she cried and went back to her parents' house, thinking that with the support of her mother's family, Dad Zhou would apologize to the past for a while and then swear to the sky, promising not to beat her again, and to listen to her in the future.

It's just that she didn't expect that when her parents asked about the quarrel and fight, they went back to her parents' house because of a quarrel, and without saying a word, they asked her brother to send her all the way back to her husband's house. also persuaded her to take her husband as the sky, and whose husband and wife would not fight.

From the fight to the return to his parents' house to being sent back by his parents' family, it took less than half an hour before and after, and it was an impatient thing to meet such a mother's house, and to be close. Not to mention that Dad Zhou regretted it for such a little time, when he saw that she was sent back, he raised his neck, raised his head higher, and gave him a pair of white eyes.

Later, Zhou's mother rarely went back to her parents' house except for the New Year's holidays and personal contacts.

Sure enough, when it was time to cook dinner, Zhou Xiaoliu saw Zhou's mother come back with Zhou Peng and Zhou Cheng, and Zhou's mother also had a handful of shallots in her hand.

Zhou's mother took the oil and salt seasonings in the wooden cabinet, three eggs and a tube of noodles sent back by her mother's family when she gave a New Year's gift, and went to work on her stove in the big kitchen.

Zhou Xiaoliu followed the silent Zhou Ma to the big kitchen, and stood around the stove like Zhou Peng and Zhou Cheng. It's just that unlike them staring at the eggs and noodles in Zhou's mother's hand, she stared at Zhou's mother's face.

Seeing that the black gas floating on Zhou's mother's face during the previous fight had disappeared, Zhou Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief gently.

Saying that before going back, a string of children followed the angry Zhou's mother to the big camphor tree by the stream at the entrance of the village, and Zhou Xiaoliu saw the long-haired woman lying on Zhou's father's shoulder from afar, Zhou Xiaoliu's heart tightened: "Dad, this is going to make a mistake, who is this woman, how can she be so close to Dad?"

When she walked up to Zhou's father, Zhou Xiaoliu gasped, the long-haired woman raised her head, but her body was still lying on Zhou's father's shoulder, her face was swollen, her face was pale, her hair was wet, and the tips of her hair were still dripping. It's a ghost!!

Zhou Xiaoliu saw that the female ghost grinned silently at Zhou's mother, and when she pinched a trick and wanted to drive the female ghost away, a small wisp of purple qi stored in her pineal gland seemed to be pulled for a moment, and then quieted down again, refusing to move forward. Next, no matter what trick Zhou Xiaoliu changed, Ziqi never moved again.

Seeing that Dad Zhou raised his foot to kick Zhou's mother at the instigation of the female ghost, and the female ghost was coiled on Zhou's father's lap at this time, holding his head high, grinning, his fangs slightly exposed, his arms were raised forward, and his fingers were bent, as if he wanted to use Zhou's father's leg strength to bite Zhou's mother, whose face was getting darker and thicker, Zhou Xiaoliu was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and suddenly a consciousness flashed in his mind: "Just a little ghost, just eat it." ”

So she pounced, opened her mouth and bit it, only to see the female ghost scream, and then it went into her mouth like a puff of gas. Probably because of inertia, after the female ghost disappeared, Zhou Xiaoliu couldn't hold his mouth and bit Zhou's father's leg. So she didn't have time to worry about what would happen if she ate a ghost, so she was thrown unconscious by Dad Zhou.

"Mom is fine now, but I have a ghost ......" Zhou Xiaoliu touched his stomach with both hands, with a sad face.

In the big kitchen, everyone is cooking dinner, and the children gather around their stoves, occasionally reaching out and grabbing a handful from the plate and putting it in their mouths, which is not too hot at all.

"Hungry, you can eat in a moment, and wait. Zhou's mother raised her eyes and found Zhou Xiaoliu who was touching her stomach, and said to Zhou Xiaoliu so patiently for the first time, she turned around and quickly fished out eight bowls of noodles, put an egg on each of the three bowls, and sprinkled green onions, and then looked at Zhou Xiaoliu who was still in a daze, and sighed in her heart, didn't it break it, thinking about the way Zhou Xiaoliu was protecting herself at that time, she reached out and pulled Zhou Xiaoliu, touched Zhou Xiaoliu's head, and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

Zhou Xiaoliu tilted her head slightly, she was used to being abused, and she still felt that Zhou's mother's finger poked on her forehead felt more right, and she felt uncomfortable touching it so carefully. Zhou Xiaoliu's tilt of the head, Zhou's mother was also in a trance, and she suddenly found that she seemed to have never been so close to Xiaoliu.

"Dad!" Zhou Cheng saw a head poking in at the door and recognized it as Zhou's father. Hearing Zhou Cheng's voice, the people in the big kitchen glanced at the door, and then lowered their heads and got busy, only their ears were still erect, like antennas connected to gossip.

Dad Zhou touched his nose and greeted the other people in the big kitchen, "You're busy!" and walked to Zhou's mother and glanced at the bowl: "Yo, eat egg noodles tonight?"

Zhou Xiaoliu suddenly wanted to laugh, her father was thick-skinned, and there was no one left.

Zhou's mother didn't answer him, but only shouted loudly: "It's time to eat, Xiaohong, bring my sister to serve noodles." She divided the noodles for her children, picked up and put down the egg from the largest bowl of noodles, and then snorted and walked away with a small bowl of noodles.

Dad Zhou laughed, picked up the big bowl, took his wife's chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp. After the noon fight, he was afraid that his wife would be endless, so he wandered outside all afternoon, leaving some time for his wife to calm down before she could become easy to talk. This is the experience that has been played over the years.

After the family finished eating, they washed up early and lay down. Zhou's father, who was on the shelf bed, turned around and hugged his wife, who was carrying him on his back, and explained softly, why didn't he go to sell fish? Why do you play with money? Sanquan wins money and cheats on himself, and he loses a lot and wants to get it back. Then he put his hands on his wife's shoulders and whispered, "Don't be angry, I really didn't mean to." ”

Zhou's mother sobbed lightly for a while, cleared her throat, and said in an astringent voice: "You haven't gambled for two years before, I thought you had gotten better, we have been fighting like this for more than ten years, and I am used to it, as long as you can keep the children from starving, I will never care about you anymore." ”

"Tomorrow you go to find my maternal cousin, he is going to follow his friend south to Guangzhou Province to work after the New Year, I heard that the wages of the private factories there are not low, if you can, let's go with you......" Zhou's mother said softly.
