Xiao Yao had just come in after washing outside, and he didn't see that the "jumping" in the basin had just been poured in. Xiao Ling didn't expect Xiao Yao to be so anxious, she just grabbed it with her hands and ate it without chopsticks, she didn't have time to stop it at all.

The hot "jumping" was thrown out by him after Xiao Yao's "ouch".

"Is it hot?"

Xiao Ling stood up and breathed several times at his hot fingers. Immediately afterwards, he dragged Xiao Yao to the well outside, pressed the water hard, and rinsed Xiao Yao's fingers with cold well water.

Xiao's mother also hurriedly took the basin out to receive water, and asked Xiao Yao to soak his hands in the well water to cool down.

"Auntie, it's all my fault, I didn't stop him. ”

Seeing that Xiao's mother felt sorry for Xiao Yao, Xiaoling was the first to take responsibility.

"How can you blame this? It's all his reckless nature, he doesn't pay attention at all, it's better to give him a loss. ”

Xiao Yao already felt much better, and when he heard his mother complaining, he knew that she was still distressed, so he hurriedly said with a smile:

"It's okay, I reacted quickly, and I threw it away. It doesn't hurt much anymore. I'm hungry, so let's go back and eat. ”

At this time, he was still thinking about eating. Xiao Ling took out a handkerchief and dried his fingers, only to see that there were blisters of different sizes on the three fingers.

"You go eat first, and I'll go to the barefoot doctor and ask him if he has any burn medicine." ”

Barefoot doctor is a term that began to appear in the middle of the "Culture-Culture-Revolution-Life" in the 60~70s of the last century, referring to people who generally have no formal medical training and still hold an agricultural household registration. In some cases, rural medical personnel who are "half-farming and half-medical".

At that time, there were three main sources of barefoot doctors: first, medical families, second, high school graduates who knew a little about medical skills, and third, some young intellectuals who went to the mountains and went to the countryside.

Barefoot doctors have made due contributions to solving the urgent need for medical treatment and medicine in rural areas. But if it is left on the spot, it is illegal to practice medicine.

Xiao's mother walked out of the house as she spoke, but Xiao Yao was still in a hurry to return to the table. Now he was honest, obediently took the chopsticks handed by Xiaoling, and put a "jump" into his mouth.

"You slow down, it's hotter inside. ”

Xiao Ling saw Xiao Yao stuffing it into her mouth one by one, for fear that he would be burned. Before they could eat a few bites, Xiao's mother came back, and she hurriedly poured out a bowl of pickle water from the pickle jar and asked Xiao Yao to put his fingers in the pickle water to soak.

"He doesn't have any medicine for scalds, so I'll give you a temporary treatment with pickle water first, and then I'll go to the hospital later." He said that the weather is hot and prone to inflammation and suppuration. Eat quickly, and deal with it as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Yao put his right hand in the pickle water, and he wanted to use his left hand to hold the chopsticks to eat. Xiao Ling took the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a "jump", and blew it several times before sending it into Xiao Yao's mouth.

"After eating, you and Xiaoling will go to the commune hospital together. It's all so big, and it's not worry-free. If you don't pay attention, you'll make a mistake. ”

"Mom, don't be in a hurry, it's so hot, it's troublesome to burn your stomach. Why is this called "jumping"?

After Xiao Yao nodded and agreed, after eating the food in his mouth, in order to distract his mother's attention, he had nothing to say and diverted from the conversation.

"What the specific reason is, there is no conclusion, I remember that when your aunt was placed here, she also asked me once. I said to her at the time: Just take a tree stick, beat the leg of the noodle bearer, and force him to jump up, which is called "jumping". ”

"Auntie, this is also believed?"

"Why didn't she believe it? She also said at the time: People are working, and they have to be beaten like this, how painful it is? Hahaha. ”

Xiao Mu couldn't help laughing when she thought of Aunt Xiao Yao's questioning momentum. Xiao Yao's purpose was also obtained.

"Mom, don't fool me, I'll ask my aunt next time. ”

"You go and ask, I promise it's true, the most ugly thing about your aunt is not this, it's cow urine. Hahaha. ”

Xiao's mother laughed out of tears this time, she wiped her eyes, and told Aunt Xiao Yao about the past of cow urine.

It turns out that every winter, in order to keep the cattle pen of the production team dry, people must be arranged to take turns on duty every night to wait for several cows of the production team to pee at night to prevent the cattle from wetting the cattle pen.

On this day, the captain convened a meeting to arrange the order of duty, but when it was arranged for Aunt Xiao Yao, she said timidly:

"I'm definitely not on duty. ”

"Why? Every family is responsible, you don't want to, he doesn't want to, in case the cow gets sick. In the spring ploughing of the coming year, how can there be ploughing oxen?"

The captain and everyone don't understand, although you are a delegated educated youth, you have to obey the captain's arrangement.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't hold such a big cow. ”

"Hahaha. ”

"Hahaha. ”

The sudden laughter shocked Aunt Xiao Yao at a loss, she looked at the big guy and couldn't figure out what was going on?

"Do you think that you have to pick up cow urine like urine for a child? Hahaha, don't say you can't hold it, which of us can hold it? Hahaha. ”

The captain wiped a handful of laughter and tears, and explained the process of cow urine in detail. Xiao Yao's aunt agreed shyly.

"My aunt is so stupid, she doesn't know how to pee on the cow, and she has to pick up the cow. ”

Xiao Yao listened to his mother's allusion to his aunt, and said disdainfully.

"As far as you are smart, people have never gone through things, you have never done the work, and there is no one else to guide you, how can you know the process? Xiaoling, don't look at him as shrewd, and say that his aunt is stupid, and the stupid things he has done have been sued by his teachers and brought to the house. ”

As soon as Xiao Ling heard that Xiao Mu was going to talk about Xiao Yao's stupid things, she immediately became energetic. She sat upright, ready to listen.

"Mom. Eat quickly, eat quickly, it will not taste good if it is cold after a while. ”

Xiao Yao hurriedly interrupted, but Xiao's mother ignored him and continued to say to Xiao Ling:

When he first returned to the countryside to go to school, the school had a few acres of rapeseed fields, and he had to hoe grass in the spring. One afternoon, the teacher asked the students to bring hoes and let them help hoe the rape after school. ”

"One of his uncles, who taught them Chinese, was also their homeroom teacher. After waiting for his classmates to hoe rape for a while, he went to check, but saw that in the field where Xiao Yao hoeed, not a single rape was gone, and all of them were broken and lying in the field. ”

My little brother-in-law shouted: Xiao Yao, where is your rape? He replied excitedly: "It's all hoeed, I looked back and saw that there was still one left, and I hoeed it." ”

"Hahaha, Auntie, Xiao Yao is really hoeing rape, don't you make the teacher angry?"

Xiao Ling smiled and trembled, looking at Xiao Yao's flattering eyes with obvious disdain.

Finally, the rape did not freeze to death in the winter, but this spring it survived, and he hoeed it clean. The teacher was so angry that he scolded, saying that the faces of the ancestors of the old Xiao family had been lost by him. ”

"What's so embarrassing about this? If you want to blame us, we can't say it here, hoeing grass is hoeing, why do you have to say that it's hoeing rape?"

As soon as Xiao's mother talked about Xiao Yao's uncle and scolded him for losing the face of his ancestors, Xiao Ling immediately stopped laughing, but defended Xiao Yao. This scene made Xiao's mother secretly happy.

After the two finished breakfast, Xiao's mother urged them to leave quickly. The two of them pushed their bicycles to the road, and Xiaoling said that Xiao Yao's hand was burned, and she offered to ride with him.

"It's out of the way, hurt your fingers, just ride with the palm of your hand. Actually, I don't have to go to the doctor anymore, I don't even feel any pain. ”

"Then you can take a look by the way, and you will send me back to the factory. ”

Xiao Ling didn't force it anymore, she sat behind him, hugging his strong waist, she felt very comfortable. The commune hospital, just in the northeast corner of Sogong Middle School, is the only place to pass from the school to the comprehensive factory.

The two of them first came directly to the hospital and asked the doctor to check their fingers, and the doctor also said that it was nothing, the early treatment was very timely, the method was also very right, the heat and poison dissipated quickly, as long as some ointment was applied to prevent inflammation.

"Xiao Yao, is it you? What's wrong with you?

As soon as they walked to the gate of the hospital, a girl came up to them, and asked in surprise.

Xiao Ling took a closer look and saw that the person who came had a round face and was delicate with baby fat. The curved willow eyebrows, the big eyes of the water. One speaks with two small dimples on the cheeks. Full of whitening, it looks cute and quite spiritual, giving people a feeling of pure sister next door.

If there is a kind of face shape that ancient Chinese people liked, it may be a round face.

In Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred", it is said that Yang Guifei, a peerless beauty in the Tang Dynasty, "hibiscus is like a face and willows like eyebrows"; in "Dream of Red Mansions", which is full of beauties, Xue Baochai is described as "red lips without dots, green eyebrows without painting, face like a silver basin, and eyes like apricots".

Even Pan Jinlian, the thousand-year-old disaster in "Golden Vase Plum", is also: "pink and red cheeks, delicate and dripping silver basin face". But whether it is a hibiscus or a silver basin, it is implied that the most likable beauty of the time has a round face.

"Guo Jiaojiao, why are you here?"

When Xiao Yao saw her, he was also surprised. Guo Jiaojiao was so surprised when she saw him, and there was a little beauty by her side, and her face was immediately full of unhappiness.

"Isn't it normal for me to be here? You don't know that my dad came home to do farm work and asked me to watch the door for him. ”

"Xiaoling, she is my junior high school classmate. ”

Without Xiao Yao's introduction, Xiao Ling had already guessed who she was, and from Xiao Yao calling her name, she thought that this was the female classmate He Xilin said, and Guo Liang was a member of the clan.

When Xiao Ling heard Guo Jiaojiao's tone, she knew that the relationship between the two of them was definitely not just as simple as classmates.

"Hello, I've heard of you, he's fine, now he's in a hurry to go to the factory, we'll talk another day." ”

Xiao Ling didn't step forward, just nodded at Guo Jiaojiao, and answered her question instead of Xiao Yao, which was polite.

"Xiaoling, if you want to go to work in a hurry, you can go back first. I went to the factory to be fine, and I haven't seen Jiaojiao for a long time, so I talked to her. ”

Xiao Yao was telling the truth, he had no extra thoughts. But Xiaoling was very unhappy when she heard this, she knew that this was the case, so she didn't let Xiao Yao come to the hospital to check any fingers.
