Chapter XII

The next day, Zhou Yiyi got up early in the morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although she still dreams of Uncle Ge these nights, the strange thing is that the time she dreams at night has been a little shorter than before.

This shortened little bit may not be clear to others, but she herself feels it clearly.

For example, in the past, she would have nightmares until dawn, but in recent days, at dawn, after the rooster crows, she will slowly fall into a light sleep, and she can sleep a little peacefully.

And every time she woke up, she would always see Zhou Yi sitting on the wooden stool in front of her bed, facing her sideways, with her eyes down, not knowing what she was thinking.

Once she woke up and saw him holding a round jade pendant in his hand, and his thumb and forefinger pinched the jade pendant and rubbed it gently. Seeing her wake up, he put away the jade pendant, then looked at her and whispered, "When you wake up, let's get up and eat." ”

As usual, he looked at her and said, "When you wake up, get up and eat." Then he got up and left first.

Zhou Yiyi obediently dressed and put on shoes, got everything done, and followed out of the room.

Last night, Zhou Yiyi and Zhou Yi took Xiaohu back to their house to live.

Zhu Huiniang went to the Zhu family, and according to the plan, she will marry from the Zhu family today.

Before leaving, she called Zhou Yi aside and asked him to take care of Xiaohu for one night.

She said: "Xiaohu is still young, I don't want him to get involved, please find an excuse to keep Xiaohu tomorrow, don't call him over." ”

Zhou Yiyi walked out of the room and found that the sky was a little gloomy today, as if the rice paper had been washed through by water after splashing ink.

When she went to the hall, Xiaohu was sitting on the long bench at home that Father Zhou had beaten by himself in a daze, and when she saw her come in, she slowly turned her head and looked at her for a long time before she said, "Sister Yiyi, you are up." ”

Zhou Yiyi felt that such a little tiger was a little unfamiliar, she nodded and said, "Well, it's up." Think about it and ask, "When did you get up?"

Xiaohu's voice was a little low: "I got up as soon as it was dawn." ”

"Why don't you sleep for a while?" Zhou Yiyi walked over.

She herself never sleeps well, so she cherishes the time she can fall asleep.

Xiaohu shook his head, and his voice was still low: "I can't sleep." ”

Zhou Yi walked in at this time.

As soon as Zhou Yiyi looked up, he saw that he was holding a large wooden plank, on which three bowls and a round plate were placed.

Zhou Yi walked over and removed the bowl and disc and placed them on the wooden table.

"Come and eat. Zhou Yi said.

Zhou Yiyi got up when she smelled the incense, ran to Zhou Yi's side, stared at the table, three bowls of clear white millet porridge, and one bowl of pickled vegetables and shredded pork. Take a look at the wooden plank that was just used to serve the food, in a semicircular shape, with handles on it. Zhou Yiyi felt very familiar, so she asked Zhou Yi: "Did you take this from the water tank?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Well, the water cylinder head, it's just right to be a tray." ”

Zhou Yiyi wanted to say something, but Zhou Yi had already beckoned Xiaohu to come over for dinner.

Xiaohu sat next to Zhou Yi, and the two began to eat with a bowl.

Xiaohu's little head shrugged and didn't say a word when he buried his head in eating. Zhou Yi sits upright, and when eating, it always makes people feel like they are appreciating a dynamic painting.

Zhou Yiyi always felt a very strange feeling in her heart, whether it was for Xiaohu or Zhou Yi, she had this feeling.

For Zhou Yi, she couldn't figure out where this weird feeling came from for the time being. But for Xiaohu, Zhou Yiyi knew why she felt strange.

It's so quiet.

In the past, Xiaohu always chattered non-stop when eating, but today since she entered the door and saw him, Xiaohu has been silent and does not speak.

Zhou Yiyi took a sip of millet porridge and found that the taste of millet porridge was surprisingly good, and she also looked at Zhou Yi differently.

Zhou Yi felt her gaze, looked at her, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

Zhou Yiyi always felt that there was a sense of pride in his eyes.

"Is this what you can do?" Zhou Yiyi asked Zhou Yi while drinking porridge.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Of course." ”

Zhou Yiyi pointed to the pickled vegetables and shredded meat again: "You also made this?"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "Of course...... No. I brought it from the Ge family. ”

Xiaohu drank porridge and reached out to pick up the pickles.

Zhou Yi glanced at him without a trace.

Zhou Yiyi looked at Zhou Yi strangely.

"Last time I saw you at the Ge family, you used it a lot. Zhou Yi said lightly, "I thought you liked it." ”

Zhou Yiyi nodded when she heard this, and said, "Well, this dish is very delicious." He put a pair of chopsticks in the bowl, "Thank you." ”

Zhou Yi said lightly: "Hmm." ”

The three of them finished their meal quietly, and the sky outside was even more gloomy.

Zhou Yi stood at the door and looked at the sky.

Zhou Yiyi walked over and looked at the sky, and then asked Zhou Yi: "What are you looking at?"

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at her: "God." ”

"Heaven?" Zhou Yiyi tilted her head, "It's going to change the sky, right?"

Zhou Yi retracted his gaze and looked at the sky again, and said slowly after a while: "Yes, it's going to change the sky." ”

Xiaohu stood behind the two for a long time, his little fists slowly clenched.

==

Zhu family.

Zhu Huiniang was sitting in Aunt Zhu's room, Sister-in-law Zhu pushed the door in, holding the makeup she had prepared when she got married, and walked over with a smile and said, "Huiniang has been waiting for a long time, I will come to put makeup on you, and promise to let you go to see Liu Yong beautifully." Saying that, he walked to Zhu Huiniang's side, and pretended to snort, "Eh, look at my stupid mouth, it's not Liu Yong, I should call my brother-in-law, call me brother-in-law." ”

Zhu Huiniang looked at herself and Sister-in-law Zhu in the bronze mirror, her face was expressionless, without a trace of joy. But Sister-in-law Zhu is full of spring breeze, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows show her good mood.

Zhu Huiniang asked, "What about my father and mother?"

Sister-in-law Zhu put the makeup on the dresser, turned to Zhu Huiniang and said, "Dad and mother are outside to make a mat." Liu Yong said that his old house was too small to put a few tables of wine, so he set up a banquet at our house. When we got back to town, he was setting up a few new tables and picking us all up. Sister-in-law Zhu's tone couldn't hide the joy and smugness, "Many people in the village will come to our house for a while." And your eldest brother, he got up early in the morning, and he had to go to Dongcuntou to buy you baked cakes to eat, and I couldn't pull it. I said that when you were a child, you loved to eat the baked cakes sold by the East Village Head Lao Li Baked Cake Shop, and you had to buy them back for you to eat as soon as possible. Sister-in-law Zhu said while looking at Zhu Huiniang's face, "I told him that today is a good day for you, but you can't miss it in time, if you are an elder brother, you have to marry your sister behind your back, or don't go." But your eldest brother feels sorry for you, saying that it is just you, a sister, who is married to someone else's daughter-in-law, and he will not have a chance to buy it if he wants to eat it in the future. Listen to what kind of stupidity he is talking about. This sister is married, and she is still the daughter of our Zhu family, and she still has tendons when she breaks her bones. If you want to be a big brother, you can go to the town to see her. Hui Niang, you said I was right, right?" said Sister-in-law Zhu leaned over and asked.

Zhu Huiniang sneered in her heart.

In the past, when she married Ge Song, everyone in the Zhu family packed and sent her away, and since then, there has been no contact with her during the New Year's holidays. Now that she is remarrying Liu Yong, everyone in the Zhu family welcomes her with a smile, as if they really love her in their hearts, and they are reluctant to marry her.

The same thing, because the value of the person she wants to marry is different, the Zhu family shows two completely different faces to her.

One is indifferent to the extreme but true, and the other is eager to the extreme but hypocritical.

If in the past, she was only a little sad and sad for the Zhu family, but now she is only tired and disappointed here.

She was very tired, she was recognized by Liu Yong's calculations, and being calculated by the Zhu family, who were close by blood, only made her feel endlessly sour and pathetic.

The Zhu family, that is her maiden home, the place where she was born and raised.

How much she missed this place before, how much she hated it now.

How can a person's face become so fast? Is family affection so fragile in the face of financial interests?

Sister-in-law Zhu was still chattering and talking to her, and the meaning in her words was that Zhu Dalang had been thinking about her own sister and wanted her to remember Zhu Dalang's goodness.

Zhu Huiniang smiled suddenly, she really laughed, she wasn't angry, she just thought it was funny.

Do they all think they are fools? They are calculated and sold, and they still talk about the good of the Zhu family?

Sister-in-law Zhu said so much, didn't she just want her to remember Zhu Dalang's goodness, so that she could say good things to him in front of Liu Yong?

In the past, when Liu Yong was a poor boy, why didn't he see them treat Liu Yong like this?

"Sister-in-law. Zhu Huiniang interrupted what Sister-in-law Zhu hadn't finished speaking, "I know." ”

Sister-in-law Zhu asked tentatively, "What?"

Zhu Huiniang said: "I will remember the good of my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and I will remember it firmly." ”

"Eh, eh. Sister-in-law Zhu couldn't help but be proud, "Look at what you said, we are just a sister of yours, who can be good if you are not good, but come, sister-in-law will put on makeup for you, and the bride will be beautiful today." Sister-in-law Zhu said that she was going to comb Zhu Huiniang's hair.

"No need. Zhu Huiniang raised her hand to interrupt Sister-in-law Zhu's movements.

"No need?" Sister-in-law Zhu asked, "Then how can you do it? Today is the day you get married, how can you not dress up?"

"I've already told Liu Yong, anyway, it's a second marriage and a second marriage, but there is no need to be so troublesome to go through a ceremony. Zhu Huiniang said.

"Have you already talked to Liu Yong?" asked Sister-in-law Zhu.

"I said it. Zhu Huiniang said, "You go out, I want to stay alone for a while." ”

Sister-in-law Zhu hesitated and got up: "That...... Then I'll go out to help first, Hui Niang, if you have something, call me, I'll be outside. ”

Zhu Huiniang did not speak.

Sister-in-law Zhu went out slowly, and when she took the door shut, she saw Zhu Huiniang in the bronze mirror staring at her with a heavy face, so frightened that she shivered, and quickly closed the door and left.

In the house, Zhu Huiniang looked at herself in the bronze mirror, reached out and touched the jade ring hidden under the neckline, and said in a low voice: "Ah Song, I won't marry anyone, I promise." ”
