Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sick Are Not Light

"Sister, get up quickly, I'm done eating. Chen Yubin ran in from outside the house, and when he saw that Xiaoxi's eyes were still closed, he pulled Xiaoxi's eyelids to wake her up.

In fact, Xiaoxi had already woken up, but it was too cold outside and he didn't want to get up, so when he heard Chen Yubin's voice, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Sister, hurry up, the sun is drying your buttocks, my father asked me to wake you up, Ren Xiaojuan is here, waiting for you outside." Seeing that he couldn't open his eyelids, Chen Yubin knew that she was pretending to be asleep, so he pushed her.

Hearing that his grandfather asked him to wake him up, and Xiaojuan also came over, Xiaoxi quickly opened his eyes and said angrily: "Okay, okay, I'm up, little ghost, early in the morning, your ears are hurt." Pushing Chen Yubin's hand away, he sat up wrapped in the quilt.

was said so, Chen Yubin was not angry, and when he saw that his sister was woken up by himself, he smiled at Xiaoxi "hehe......".

Tummed the clothes into the quilt, Xiaoxi hugged the quilt for a while, and Chen Yubin stood by with a smile and looked at her, without saying anything.

After grinding for a while, Xiaoxi quickly got dressed, folded the quilt, and ran to the fire with Chen Yubin.

During the day, they basically do not burn a fire in the house, and usually use a brazier to burn in the courtyard dam.

Xiaoxi's brazier is super big, it is the old woks that Old Man Chen used not to use at home, the large one, found a few wooden boards, made a shelf by himself, and installed the pot, it is a brazier.

"Xiaojuan, you're here. Xiaoxi stepped over the chair and sat down, and then slowly straightened her clothes and lifted the heels of her slippers.

"Well, why did you get up, I got up a long time ago, and I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Seeing that the creek had just risen, Zhao Juan showed off.

Xiaoxi was thick-skinned, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about, so he said nonchalantly: "Oops, it's too cold, and it's hot in the bed." ”

"Poof...... Hahaha......" was ridiculed by Zhao Juan.

Granny Chen went up to the courtyard dam with a large pot of tofu, and when she saw Xiaoxi getting up, she shouted at Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, get up, I left you food in the pot, hurry up and eat the rice." As he spoke, he returned to the stove with the basin, and muttered quietly, "I won't wake up until I sleep here." ”

It was quiet, but everyone heard it, and Xiaoxi continued to pretend not to hear the muffled laughter, and lowered her head to roast her shoes.

Seeing so much tofu, Zhao Juan was very surprised and asked, "Xiaoxi, why did you buy so much tofu?"

Xiaoxi didn't know how to explain it, so she said vaguely: "After eating, our family loves tofu." Xiaojuan, I'll serve rice. He quickly put his shoes on and ran away.

I went back to the house and brought a bowl of sauerkraut and red porridge, sandwiched a few pickles to eat, sat by the fire, and the stream finished eating in a while. I washed the dishes with the hot water in the pot.

The hot water in the pot was washed by Granny Chen, added water to the pot, put the rice bowl left for Xiaoxi in the pot, covered the pot, and then burned a fire in the hole of the pot, which played the role of heat preservation.

After eating, it was impossible to be idle, and Xiaoxi was assigned to work.

"Little Creek ......" Granny Chen pointed to a pile of red lotus on the edge of the red lotus cellar on the edge of the courtyard dam, and said, "Go and cut the red lettuce, and cook it for the pig later." ”

There were a lot of red lotus in that pile, and it looked like my grandfather had just gone down to the cellar this morning to pick them up, and there were water beads hanging on them. Cooking for pigs is not just one meal at a time, but cooking together for several days, and it can't be left in winter anyway.

Xiaoxi watched Chen Yubin and Zhao Juan sitting leisurely next to the fire to roast the fire, very angry, found a special cutting board, kitchen knife and taojiao, moved a small bench, sat next to the red lotus, and began to chop the red lotus fiercely.

The two of them still had a little conscience, ignored it for a while, consciously carried the brazier to the creek, and then helped pick up the red pieces on the cutting board into the pan.

"By the way, Binbin, grandpa?" Seeing that there were only a few people in the house, it didn't look like there were still other people.

"Grandpa had already gone out to herd the cattle, so he picked up these red vetches and left. Chen Yubin took out a few slender ones from the red pile, dug the hot ash under the fire, buried them, and carefully covered them up. Know that if you are too close to the fire, it will be easy to burn.

Zhao Juan also nodded on the side, "Well, I didn't see my aunt's people when I came over." "In this winter, there is not no cow grass at home, and my aunt is still so diligent. It's her, she would rather roast the fire at home, anyway, there is a lot of cow grass at home.

Xiaoxi put down the kitchen knife in his hand and slapped away the claws that were stretched out again, "Okay, roast less, these are ready to cook pig food for pigs." Seeing that he withdrew his hand, he picked up the knife again, "Eh~ Didn't you say that grandpa asked you to wake me up, why did grandpa go out before Xiaojuan came." Heng Mei was cold, gritting his teeth.

The little lie told by "Hehe......" was inadvertently leaked, and Chen Yubin was a little embarrassed, but in a blink of an eye, he said confidently: "I don't say so, can you get up." He also muttered quietly, "Such a big person, still lying in bed." ”

Xiaoxi almost couldn't hold back her laughter, muttering quietly, and someone wanted to hear her, she was really drunk.

A few days passed in a flash, mainly because of the exam, so I felt that time passed very quickly.

By Thursday, everyone was sitting neatly in the classroom waiting for the exam. Even the female classmate who went home to recuperate before also came back, and when she arrived at the school yesterday, Xiaoxi listened to her recuperation history very painfully.

It is said that she went home for a few days, and every day by the fire, her mother brought food to her, and the injury on her hand did not worsen, but improved slightly. But seeing that the final exam is approaching, this hand is not good, her mother is in a hurry, looking for home remedies everywhere, and she really found it.

Pluck a few radishes from the garden, cut them into thick slices, hold them with tongs, and roast them over the fire, and when they are almost cooked, they cover them with frostbite while they are hot.

It hurts to think about it, how hot it is, and the chilblains themselves hurt enough.

It is said that more than once, her mother has to give her a visit every day, and she is tortured miserably. However, the results were encouraging.

Xiaoxi looked at her hand, it was already scabbed, and the newly grown flesh was pink and tender. can be so fast, it can be seen that she has suffered a lot.

Although they now have a few extra courses, they only have English in the exam.

In the morning, I took the Chinese and mathematics exams, and in the afternoon, I took the English exam, and this is the end of the semester.

After the exam, it is time to make the bed.

Xiaoxi knew that they were going to move to the dormitory next year, this person had a lot of hands, and it was not safe to keep things in this house, if they came late for the new semester, maybe someone would really want to touch their things. Xiaoxi still remembers that when she was in the sixth grade, she lost her bed quilt when she moved to bed.

"Xiaojuan, put the quilt in this house, when school starts, it is easy for many people to take it indiscriminately, let's go and put it in Mr. Zhao's house, anyway, his house is big. ”

After thinking about it, it is true, there will be a lot of people at that time, who knows who will take it, Zhao Juan nodded and agreed.

I found a fertilizer bag from under the mat, which was used to put the quilt when I came, and when I was finished, I pressed under the mat, and then I just put the quilt in again.

Xiaoxi took out a pen and wrote his name on the bag, and made it bold. Seeing that Zhao Juan was about to leave with a quilt in her arms, Xiaoxi asked her to pretend to be like herself and write her name.

Zhao Juan, who was originally going to be lazy, couldn't do it, so she had to find a bag to put it up and write her name again. Then they hugged the quilt and went to the faculty dormitory.

I told Mr. Zhao what I meant. He was still very willing to help with this little thing, so he pointed to a room and asked them to put the quilt in.

As soon as they entered the house, Xiaoxi knew that her preparations had not been in vain. On the empty bed in the room, there were several quilts stacked, and at a glance, I knew that it was not Mr. Zhao's theirs, but those students from the same village. One by one, they were just left naked, and they didn't make a mark or anything.

Because of the quilt cover or something, it was a holiday, and they had to take it off and wash it home, so they just piled the cotton quilt there.

Xiaoxi remembers one time, when school started, she came to Mr. Zhao to get her quilt. She came early, and no one had come to pick it up yet.

When I entered the house, I found that there were several quilts piled up, although the cotton quilts are made in the countryside, but I can find some differences. But no matter how different it is, it's also a small place, and you can still touch the same. No, the creek was touched.

She searched for a long time in the quilts, and found two quilts, both of which were like her own, and those small differences were similar, making it difficult for her to choose. In addition, she had difficulty in choosing and a little cleanliness, and finally struggled for a long time before Chen Cui helped to make the decision and left with a bed.

As a result, Xiaoxi always felt that the rest of the bed was hers, and she didn't go back to change it, because she knew that even if the second aunt came back with another quilt, she would think that this bed was hers. In general, this is a disease, and it is not a light illness.

So this time, she was fully prepared, and she couldn't be wrong with making a mark.

The two went back empty-handed, and as soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they saw Chen Yubin leaning against the wall of the corridor into the inner courtyard with his schoolbag on his back.

"Sister, where have you been, I asked them and said they didn't know. He pointed to the dormitory.

"You've packed up. We put the quilt in Mr. Zhao's house, afraid that it would be messed up when school started. Creek explained.

"Well, it's packed. He also raised the schoolbag on his back and signaled that it was all loaded. "Sister, you all put the quilt at Mr. Zhao's place, do you want to put mine there too?"

At first, Xiaoxi also thought about it, thinking that Chen Yubin was a small bed, and they lived in a class, so it was quite safe to put it away, but there was an accident in everything, "Then you can also take it to Teacher Zhao...... Also, find a pocket and put it up, tie it with a rope, and write your name with a pen, just use the fertilizer pocket you used to start school. ”

Because there are only a few kinds of chemical fertilizers used by the farmer, it is entirely possible that the pockets will be the same, so that all the streams said that they would write their names again, so that they would not be wrong.
