CHAPTER XXXVI
Shumin took Feng An to the ready-to-wear store first, picked out a few decent coats for him, and then went to the snack shop to buy some food, and the two returned to Baili Village in an ox cart.
Along the way, Feng An was in a lack of interest, and was silent in Shumin's arms. Many acquaintances asked curiously, "Whose child is this, won't it be the son you picked?"
"How can I be, this is my eldest brother's son, my nephew!" Shumin explained.
"Oh, no wonder I look like you, hehe" people suddenly realized.
The ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village, Shumin led Feng'an back to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Zhengxing's daughter-in-law liked Feng'an very much when she saw it, she also had a boy named Xiaohu, because of the special situation at home, she had been fostered by her mother's family. Now that the family is better, Xiaohu has grown a little older, and it's time to take it back.
Feng An was a little restrained at first, but soon let go. He helped Shumin soak beans for a while, and helped Zhengxing's daughter-in-law carry a bucket for a while, and he was not idle. Shu Min was a little distressed and asked him to play by himself, but he insisted on staying to help, so Shu Min went with him. In the past few years, he has been living in the Zhang family, and at this moment, with his aunt, his heart is still a little uneasy, and he didn't even dare to let go of his stomach to eat dinner. Shumin didn't know what he thought, but he was a little uncomfortable leaving his mother on the first day, so he frequently served him vegetables and asked him to eat more.
At night, Zhengxing and his daughter-in-law went home, Shumin boiled a large pot of water to bathe Feng'an, although he was still a child, but he blushed for a long time, and finally insisted on washing himself. After taking a shower, Shumin scooped hot water again and helped him wash his messy hair. After some tidying up and putting on the newly bought clothes, Feng An finally took on a new look, and when he lay in the warm bed, there was a very unreal feeling.
This is what it feels like to be loved by your loved ones, although it is not real, but it is so happy. Because happiness is so unreal, you must be very well-behaved and not cause trouble to your aunt, so that you will always be happy. Xiao Feng'an happily fell asleep.
This sleep was very satisfying, as if he had a very good dream. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and he hurriedly got dressed and ran out.
At this time, he saw that his aunt had almost finished breakfast, and he was a little embarrassed: he originally planned to get up early to help cook, but who knew that he had overslept.
Shu Min saw him standing at the door of the kitchen with his head down, and smiled, "You got up so early? ”
"Oh" Feng An quickly washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and ran to the door of the stove to watch the fire.
"Don't look at the fire, come, drink a bowl of soy milk first. Shumin came out with soy milk. He had already drunk this thing when he made tofu yesterday, and at this time, he scooped a bowl of soy milk according to his words, sat down at the table, and drank it quietly.
There was soy milk for breakfast, so Shumin fried an egg and a few pancakes. Shu Min's craftsmanship is really not very good, those pancakes are all irregular shapes, and some places are fried. Fortunately, it tastes good.
"Isn't it delicious?" Shumin asked, touching his nephew's head.
"Well, it's delicious. Feng An replied very cooperatively.
"If it's delicious, eat more. Shumin put another piece of egg into Feng'an's bowl.
Hui'er is not there, and now looking at Feng An, she misses her more and more. I don't know how she is doing at Zhang's house? Yesterday, I bought new clothes for Hui'er, and I will send them to her after dinner, and by the way, let him meet his cousin.
When Zhengxing and her daughter-in-law came over, Shumin led Feng'an to Zhang's house.
The Zhang family was still having breakfast at this time, and breakfast was usually clear water porridge with pickles, and there was also a stack of fried eggs and leftover vegetables from yesterday.
Hui'er didn't serve the table, squatting on the stone bench at the door with a bowl, looking at the village, and drinking a mouthful of gruel from time to time. Youlu did the same, and sat behind her with a bowl in his arms.
"Youlu, you come back quickly, what's not good to learn, people squat at the door to eat. Have you ever seen someone's child squatting at the door to eat, there are no rules" Qiao's saw his son running to Hui'er to play again, he was very displeased, and quickly pulled him back to the dining table and sandwiched a piece of fried egg for him.
"Why didn't Sister Hui'er come in?" Youlu asked worriedly, looking at the slightly lonely figure at the door
"Eat your food and worry less. Qiao Shi knocked it with his chopsticks.
"I'll go and call Hui'er in. Qiuhua said and was about to get up.
"Let her be, otherwise there will be trouble again, you just have a body, you can't knock it. Zhengyuan grabbed her, forgetting the villain at the door.
"But" Qiuhua still wanted to say that it was not good to squat at the door to eat, and those who didn't know thought that we were abusing children again.
"Don't pay attention to that white-eyed wolf, after feeding her for so many days, she can't tell who her relatives are, I really don't know what kind of drug her mother fed her. Zhang Li pouted and said. These days, Hui'er doesn't shout every day that she wants to go to Shumin's place, but as soon as the meal arrives, she squats at the door alone, and when she comes back, she cries a lot, and everyone has no choice but to go with her.
Hui'er squatted at the door, but she could hear the sound of the courtyard clearly, the two chopsticks stirred back and forth in the water-like gruel, and tears gently slipped down her face, dripping into the porridge, causing a ripple.
"Mother, when are you coming to pick up Hui'er, don't you want Hui'er?"
She lowered her head and didn't see Shumin leading Feng An over.
"Hui'er, why are you squatting at the door to eat?" Shu Min saw that the heart and liver baby was sitting at the cold door, with his head down and a bowl of clear porridge like clear water, and his heart was sour.
"Mother!" Leng Buding heard her mother's voice, Hui'er's heart was full of joy, and the unhappiness just now was swept away. Put down the bowl and throw herself into Shumin's arms.
"Good. Shumin hugged her, and after a while, she squatted down and took a good look at Hui'er. Seeing that the flesh she had grown with great difficulty had disappeared again, Shumin touched her hair distressedly and said, "You must eat well, you know?"
Hui'er blinked her eyes to indicate that she understood.
"Is this Sister Hui'er?" Feng An fell in love with this sweet-looking little cousin at a glance, especially those beautiful big eyes, which were exactly like his own. There was a sense of closeness for no reason. So I wanted to reach out and touch my cousin's head.
"Sister Hui'er, I'm your cousin. ”
Hui'er saw Shumin holding a boy who was two or three years older than herself. Seeing him staying by his mother's side very closely, Hui'er suddenly had a feeling that her mother was being snatched away, and when she saw him reach out and touch her head, she subconsciously avoided it unceremoniously.
Feng An was a little sorry that he didn't touch his cousin's head, but he quickly threw this love away and went to pull Hui'er's hand again. Hui'er still dodged.
"Hui'er, that's your cousin. Shumin only thought that she was not used to seeing strangers, so she comforted, "You saw it when you were very young, don't you remember Hui'er?"
Of course I don't remember, Hui'er was still holding it in her hand at that time! Shumin said this just to increase Hui'er's closeness to Feng'an. But Hui'er just doesn't like Feng An, and Feng An is very frustrated about this.
But children's things can't be forced, and since Hui'er doesn't like it, Shumin says that it's useless, so she has to let her. She took out the newly bought jacket in her backpack and gestured to Hui'er, "Hui'er, do you like the new clothes that my mother bought for you?"
The new jacket was a fine muslin in pink color, and it was embroidered with a few flowers and butterflies. Hui'er likes it very much, and she wants to put it on on the spot. Shumin pulled her aside, shielded her from the wind with her body, and replaced the old jacket that was a little dirty.
"Sister Hui'er looks so good in new clothes. Feng An didn't give up yet, and patted the horse on the side. Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. What's more, little girls always like to be praised for their beauty. It's a pity that Hui'er still didn't give him a good look. Feng An touched his nose and had to smile wryly.
"Dead girl, do you have to count rice grains to drink porridge, eat for so long!" At this time, Zhang Li's sharp scolding came from the courtyard.
"Mother, I'm going back. Hearing this, although Hui'er was reluctant, she still had to go back to the house. She knew that the entire Zhang family didn't like her to see her mother now.
"Well, remember to eat well!" Shumin was also reluctant, but now it can only be so. So he told again.
watched Hui'er's small body enter the courtyard, and after a while, Shumin pulled Feng An back. Although Feng'an people are small, he can't understand people's eyes since he was a child. Silently followed Shumin.
"We'll bring Sister Hui'er back to live in the future!" Feng An said to Shumin
Shumin smiled and touched his head. yes, I have to do my best to find a way to get Hui'er out.
As soon as Hui'er entered the yard, she was caught by Zhang Li and said, "You white-eyed wolf, what kind of soup did the broom star pour you again?"
She saw that the jacket made of pink muslin was so beautiful on Hui'er. But the more she thought it looked good, the more dazzling she felt. As soon as he pulled hard, the muslin was torn through a gap.
was pulled by her, Hui'er didn't stand firm, and the rest of the gruel in her hand was sprinkled on herself. The porridge water seeped into the clothes along the torn hole in an instant, and it was a mess.
Hui'er wiped it with her hands in distress, but the more she wiped the porridge, the faster the water seeped, and she cried when she looked at the clothes that had been destroyed just after she put them on.
"Cry, you know crying. Mourning star, arguing about the little brother in your mother's belly, see how I clean you up!" Zhang Li saw her crying again, upset, and raised his hand twice.
"Okay, a lot of age, don't always have trouble with the little ones!" Old Man Zhang saw this scene, said a word without pain, and turned around and went into the house to get a cigarette pouch. Qiao was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when he saw this scene, he drove the two boys into the house. There are Hui'er's flowing horses in the house, and there are blessed people who go to play with the flowing horses.
Qiuhua is now pregnant, and she has severe morning sickness, so she has already entered the house to rest accompanied by Zhengyuan.
After venting his dissatisfaction, Zhang Li also turned around and entered the house, not knowing what to talk to Old Man Zhang.
In the whole courtyard, only Hui'er was left alone, and the wolf was crying unbearably.
