Chapter 19: Advice
It was the middle of August, the last of the dog days, the hottest ten days of the year.
The construction time on the construction site has also been revised accordingly, the start time has been advanced from 8 o'clock to 6 o'clock, the start time has been advanced from 12 o'clock to 10 o'clock, and the afternoon time is from 4 to 8 o'clock.
The eight-hour construction time has not changed, and the amount of money earned has not changed, so that the heat stroke of the workers has been slightly alleviated.
Yihai set off from home at half past five in the morning, and it was too hot at noon, and the construction site was far away from home, so he fooled around in the construction site. When I got home at half past eight in the evening, when I saw the four girls, my face was rigid and strict, but my heart was very happy. Before dinner, I had to let Sun Shuxi fry two plates of peanuts and beans and drink some wine.
Yimi saw Yihai, with a sweet smile on her face, and saw that her mother was busy with housework, so she trotted to her father, patting the soil and carrying the water.
The other three girls saw Yihai shouting "Dad", so they were busy with their own business.
Yijia can see that she has nothing to say about Xiaoya's slimy father. Among the four daughters, the father loves the little girl the most, and the little girl is also intimate with the father. And the three of them can't be intimate with their father. In the beginning, my father was very displeased with the three sisters. When they became older and sensible, their father came back to his senses and began to care for them. But no matter how much they care, they are also older, and the desire to let their father support them after being bullied has long been gone.
"Stay away." Yihai is a rough old man, he doesn't know how to be smooth, and he doesn't know the art of speaking, after seeing the dirt on Xiaoya's skirt, he thought that Xiaoya's throat was not good since she was a child, and she couldn't let the soil on his body choke Xiaoya.
Yihai's intentions are good, but as soon as this big voice that he is used to roaring comes out, it is like training people. Even Yi Xiaopang, who had always been bold, was a trembling rope when he suddenly heard it.
Yimi was also stunned by the deafening sound.
Sun Shuxi threw down the cloth, walked to Xiaoya in three steps and two steps, quickly pinched Xiaoya's ears, and after Xiaoya eased up, he said angrily to Yihai: "It's not at the construction site, lower your voice!" ”
Yihai saw that Xiaoya was frightened, and her throat was swollen for a while, and her heart felt like a big stone. When Sun Shuxi comforted Xiaoya, he silently put the mp3 in his jacket pocket into a wooden box on the edge of the window of the east room, and then took off the dirty clothes on his body and changed into a big undershirt and cool pants that he wore at home.
When he came to the grape trellis in the courtyard in sandals, Xiaoya was already sitting on a small bench to peel garlic, and there was a garlic pounding pot on the ground.
Yihai took out a flatbread from the kitchen, sat next to Yimi, Yimi peeled a garlic, and Yihai ate one.
"Daddy! Mom wants to shoot cucumbers, and the yellow light is cut, and the garlic is almost pureed. Yimi put the garlic pot out of Yihai's reach, and criticized sternly with a fair and clean little face.
"Oh." Yihai's black, red, and black-red face that was sun-sasked relaxed, and when she heard Xiaoya's tone, it meant that Xiaoya was not afraid of him.
Yihai's heart was happy, and he rubbed off the garlic skin full of mud with his big hands covered with calluses, and then peeled the clean garlic bones for Xiaoya.
Yimi has never been afraid of Yihai since she was a child, and it was just a small accident just now. For her, Yi Haizi is not very sensible at some point, and she needs to worry about it.
Yimi is a soft and cute little baby in front of Sun Shuxi, and she is a little nagging in front of Yihai.
"Next week, Mom's birthday will be. As your mother's husband, you have to create some romance for your mother. Yimi peeled the garlic while avoiding Sun Shuxi whispering to Yihai.
"How? Buying a bouquet of flowers? A flower in the street costs ten yuan, and ten yuan can buy three large watermelons. Yihai is a pragmatist and particularly incomprehensible to this kind of romanticism.
"On TV, husbands give their wives a big bouquet of flowers. Does that cost a lot of money? "Yimi's concept of money is not very clear, and the only time in his life that he spent money to buy something was a birthday gift mp3 for Yihai.
"That's all fake." Yihai only watches anti-Japanese war movies when he watches TV, and these idol dramas and family ethics dramas can make him fall asleep.
Yimi has only watched a little bit of these TV series, and he doesn't know the specific process very well.
Yimi's spare time was carefully arranged by Sun Shuxi and Yijia. And Yijia, who looks at idol romantic dramas as funny and nonsensical dramas, firmly believes that these are not suitable for Xiaoya to watch. In her free time, Yimi prefers to learn some small crafts to use, and Yijia is also willing to watch the video to explain to Xiaoya step by step.
"Our family is not short of money." Yijia is rich and generous, and she never spends money on Xiaoya. She herself follows the principle that money should be spent on the blade, and she doesn't have these boxes for Xiaoya.
"Second sister!" Yimi's voice was full of excitement, put the garlic clove in his hand into Yihai's big hand, clapped his hands, and told Yihai seriously: "Peel and mash these things, obediently." ”
Yijia couldn't help but laugh and turned around, her shoulders shaking.
"Let's go." Yijia held back a smile and took Xiaoya's hand and walked out the door.
Yihai machismo is stricter, dirty work, tiring work, is a man's business, washing, washing, eating and drinking, is a woman's business. The work of peeling garlic was put on hold, and he immediately left with a black face. But after Xiaoya's release and coaxing, Yihai peeled a big jar by herself, which could be used for a month, and there was no reluctance on her face.
Sun Shuxi came to get the garlic paste, and when he saw the jar full of garlic, his face darkened.
On the road from home to Zhang Daniang's house, the street lights were broken several times, and they were not in a hurry to repair them, so they waited for the New Year when the whole village was renovated and then pressed the new solar tubes.
Yijia held Yimi's hand all the way, lest her little girl stumble.
"Sister, have you finished reading it?" Yimi's words were full of adoration. The second sister downloaded a large number of videos and professional books from the e-library of Vitol University. If she came to see it, she might not be able to finish it in a year. It only took six or seven hours for the second sister to study it thoroughly.
"I didn't finish it. There are only one or two that have reference value. Yijia has a high academic vision, and she is skeptical of the downloaded video materials, and she sees a lot of inappropriateness and areas that need to be improved. She took Xiaoya to Aunt Zhang's house so late to find out if some of her guesses had been encountered in Aunt Zhang's medical practice.
Yijia looked at Xiaoya's completely trusting appearance, and said uneasily: "It is better to believe in a book than to have no book." If you want to read any books in the future, tell your sister first, and my sister will help you screen it and correct the mistakes in it, and then you can read it. ”
Yimi smiled and nodded, her fingers scratching at Yijia's palm.
Yijia also laughed infectiously and poked the little girl's forehead, "Naughty little girl, my sister has rough skin and thick flesh, but she is not afraid of itching." ”。
