Chapter 4 The sister-in-law is small
As soon as Liu Guihua and Hu Mei walked on the front foot, Xiaoyu was busy, and after yesterday's adaptation, she started doing things much faster today. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She quickly poured all the pots and jars in the inner and outer rooms into another large water tank at the door, which could be used for cleaning and hygiene, and then washed and stacked the pots and jars for later use.
Only the big tile jar in front of the bed is left, because it is quite heavy, Xiaoyu thinks, in case it rains again tonight, it is troublesome to move, this tank is put for another night, and it will be said tomorrow depending on the situation, thinking about taking a small basin, scooping out the water in the tank and pouring it out, and then taking a rag, wiping the tank clean, no rain, and then you can directly put it aside.
Looking at Xiaoyu's busy figure in the house, Li Shaoyang felt that his heart was slowly being filled, becoming more and more full, and there was a tendency to overflow. And when he thought that he could only lie motionless on the bed, spinning like a spinning top, he didn't know that at this moment, Li Shaoyang's mood fell from heaven to the bottom.
Xiaoyu, who didn't notice it, finished doing this, ran to the outhouse to make a fire and cook, as if he was familiar with the door, and after a while, the sorghum paste with some green vegetables floating on his face came out of the pot. Although she had amnesia, she intuitively knew that she must not have eaten this before, but now, not only herself, but also Li Shaoyang lying on the bed, the two of them had to rely on these batters to survive.
When Li Xiaoqing entered the door, what she saw was Xiaoyu holding a bowl of sorghum batter and putting it next to Li Shaoyang's bed, for some reason, looking at such a big brother and sister-in-law, Xiaoqing felt that they would get better.
"Big brother, Dad asked me to come and see you." Xiao Qing hid some worries about the eldest brother in her heart, walked towards the eldest brother with a smile, and without waiting for the eldest brother to answer, Xiao Qing glanced at Xiao Yu, "This must be my sister-in-law." ”
"Uh, hey, Xiaoyu, this is my sister Xiaoqing." Li Shaoyang heard his sister's name for Xiaoyu and found that he was very happy.
"Xiaoqing, hello, you can also call me Xiaoyu." Watching her call her sister-in-law, Xiaoyu found that she was not very repulsed, but was faintly embarrassed.
"Then what's the matter, sister-in-law is sister-in-law, how can I call you by name?" Xiaoqing said, and squeezed her eyes at Shaoyang, which made Shaoyang blush again, "Xiaoyu, sister-in-law, you said that your name is Xiaoyu, my name is Xiaoqing, we are really destined for a rainy and sunny day, haha," It can be seen that Xiaoqing loves the house and Wudi, and really likes Xiaoyu.
"Don't be poor you, when did you come back, is the factory on holiday?" The younger sister in front of me, who I grew up watching, is the most heartwarming family in this family, yes, a real family.
"Well, there is little factory work these days, and my little sister and I have thought that we haven't been home for a long time, so we will come back and take a look during the holidays. My dad asked me to bring me, a few eggs, a small bag of rice, a small bag of millet, and some vegetable seeds. As he spoke, his eyes turned slightly red, "I'm sorry, brother, if it weren't for the second sister-in-law and mother, you wouldn't be hurt, and you should be at work at this time." And now that you're injured, you're still letting you live here......" As he spoke, tears couldn't help but fall, making the light rain on the side also infected, and his nose was sore.
"Silly girl, don't cry", Shaoyang reached out and touched Xiaoqing's head, but comforted her.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and in the days to come, I will find a way with you, uh and your sister-in-law, and we will get better and better." Didn't Lang Zhong also say it, it's just that our current conditions don't allow it, and my leg is not completely out of a chance to recover. It's just that the current conditions seem to be fateful. ”
"Well, brother, I believe, I believe that you and your sister-in-law will definitely get better and better. You must come on, I support you! As she spoke, the little girl waved her clenched little fist at us, and her face was slightly red with excitement.
"Silly girl, don't worry, I will!" Li Shaoyang looked at the little sister in front of him dotingly, she really grew up.
"I should go, I can't come out for too long, sister-in-law, you put away the eggs and rice first, and take them out when you want to eat them."
"Well, okay, thank you Xiaoqing, but don't do it in the future, it will make it difficult for Dad and you." For those who sincerely help themselves, Xiaoyu knows how to think about her.
Xiaoyu thought silently in her heart, I wrote down this love!
"Don't worry, it's okay. Then I'll go first, and I'll come back to see you when I'm free. After saying that, Xiao Qing ran away without looking back.
Xiaoyu obediently put away the eggs and rice, not for anything else, and couldn't cause trouble for Xiaoqing's father and daughter.
The two silently ate sorghum batter, and Xiaoyu broke the silence first, "We can't rely on your father and Xiaoqing's help to live, what kind of income do you mainly rely on, do you have a market or something?" ”。
"Why, it's only been two days and I can't stay, I can go if I want, see the mountain in front of me, and find a way to climb out." Thinking that Xiaoyu might want to leave, Li Shaoyang pointed to the mountain outside the window and said angrily.
"You-" If you can, you really want to drop the bowl and leave, "Who said that you want to leave, I just think that we can't sit back and eat like this, we have to find a way to generate our own income, so that we won't rely on other people's help to live." ”
Hearing that Xiaoyu not only didn't want to leave, but when she said "we", Li Shaoyang's heart slowly regained its temperature, and he was embarrassed for his recklessness, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only open his mouth to introduce the situation here.
"This is the most remote village in J Province, because it is surrounded by mountains, three or four villages are connected together, and our Lijia Village is the smallest, with only more than 20 households. Because it is not easy to go in and out of the mountain, so the older generation here rarely go out of the mountain unless they have a reason to go out, our ancestors have been digging in the field for generations, going up the mountain to find some game or something, and if they can't eat, they will take it out and sell it, in exchange for what they need, it is regarded as relying on the mountain to eat the mountain. ”
"And where is the place to buy and sell things here?"
"Our Lijia Village is a small village, and the Hujia Village next door is a big village, and there is a market there every five days, and people from several villages in this connection usually go there. Anything you want to sell at home, or if you want to buy necessities for life, you can buy it there. ”
"Is this the end of your life, including the young people?"
"In recent years, some factories have also opened in the town, and the big girls and boys in the village have been going out to work in the town or the city, and the aspiring young people have run even farther, and they rarely come back once a year."
Li Shaoyang paused and continued, "I barely went to a technical school before, and this is still an opportunity for my father to be wronged. I only came back once during the winter and summer vacations, and I always like to go into the mountains with my uncle and them to hunt some pheasants and pick up some game. After graduating, I stayed in the city to work and rarely came back, except for the necessary living expenses, most of my monthly salary was sent back. Li Shaoyang recalled, the brilliance of his eyes was clearly a nostalgia for the wonderful life in the past.
"A few months ago, there was nothing to do in the factory, and I had a long vacation temporarily, so I wanted to go home to see my father and little sister, who wanted to go to the mountains and come back, just ......" said, glancing at his injured leg, the loneliness in his eyes stabbed Xiaoyu's heart.
"You guys are really remote here, and for a while, I thought I might have gone to the old society. Leaning on the mountain to eat the mountain, well," Xiaoyu seemed to have made up her mind, "In that case, well, after eating in a while, I will also go around the mountain to see if I can find some food to come back, and let's take our time with the rest." ”
"What, you're going into the mountains. No way! Definitely not! I don't agree, it's too dangerous. Don't you see where I'm now? If not, didn't my dad take some seeds, you can turn over the ground in front of the house, let's plant some vegetables first, my legs can't move, but my hands can, let me think first, can I do something with my hands. In the mountains, don't you go, right? Seeing that Li Shaoyang was sweating on his head in a hurry, Xiaoyu laughed "fluttering".
"Look at you scared, you are because it is dark, the mountain road is not easy to walk, I am in the early morning of the day, I just want to dig some wild vegetables, see if I can find something else, if I can't find it, before dark, even if there is no harvest, I will come back first." That's it. ”
"But ......"
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry. Do we just sit at home every day, waiting for pie to fall from the sky? Xiaoyu is also acute, just do it, and she really found a broken back basket. Li Shaoyang asked her to find some rope and braided the hole with a rope to mend it, "Well, it's not bad, the hand is quite skillful," Looking at the mended back basket, Xiaoyu couldn't help but praise.
"Okay, I'll pack you a bowl of batter and put it here next to the bed, remember to eat it when you're hungry, don't worry, I promise, before dark, you will come back safely." Saying that he didn't give Shaoyang a chance to be verbose again, he put on his back the basket, took a broken sickle, and went out without looking back.
The day after I arrived here, Xiaoyu hadn't gone out yet. Although this house is very dilapidated, but the front yard at this door is nearly 100 square meters, the countryside is this good, the place is spacious enough, Xiaoyu thought, came back to turn over the land, planting vegetables.
Carrying the basket on his back and out of the dilapidated fence wall, Xiaoyu recalled the route Li Shaoyang said and walked towards the back mountain.
"Yo, who is this girl, and how is she so raw?" A middle-aged woman about forty years old, who was working in the fields, saw Xiaoyu when she straightened up to breathe, and shouted, "I heard that the Degui family just married a daughter-in-law to the eldest son Shaoyang two days ago, and came back, could it be that you are Shaoyang's newly married little daughter-in-law." As soon as he thought of it, he asked with a smile at Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer her, only smiled at her and nodded, and continued to walk up the mountain.
The woman shouted, and the other woman who worked with her also straightened up and looked up and down at the light rain, "It must be yes, this little daughter-in-law is not bad, this is the second day of coming, this is going up the mountain, it's just a girl's family, it's good to think about it." ”
"Who said it wasn't, you said Shaoyang, a good young man, the Degui family, tsk, make evil......" Later, Xiaoyu couldn't hear what they were talking about, she only thought about it, hurry up the mountain to see if she can find something, come back and sell it for money, even if she finds something to eat.
