Chapter 292: He Mo 3
Parents always pay special attention to other people's evaluation of their children, my compliment obviously made Sister Yang very happy, she smiled lovingly and touched the girl's head and said to me: "Meimei is sensible, she already knew to help me work two days ago, and she didn't trouble me on weekdays, it's a pity......"
"What a pity?" I asked.
"It's a pity it's not a boy." Sister Yang's words were very fast, and I listened to her tone not too serious and just thought she was joking in passing, and answered: "If the boy can't tell you how to worry about naughty, according to me, it's better to be a girl, little padded jacket, intimate"
As I spoke, I didn't wait for Sister Yang to answer, I suddenly remembered my pair of little babies at home, how long has it been since I saw them? Although they are very accustomed to their grandparents and having such a big family to take care of, this time their parents have been away at the same time for so long, they will definitely lose their temper, and they don't know how their parents will explain to them.
Suddenly, I thought of the child, and I didn't care about the next conversation with Sister Yang, and the whole person's thoughts were all remembered on the child for a long time.
Sister Yang is a very considerate person, seeing that I suddenly lost my mind, she didn't say much, made a cup of hot tea and put it on the table, and got up and took the child to cook.
Later, Mei Mei timidly came over to call me, and I saw that Sister Yang had brought lunch to the table under the eaves.
The table seemed to be a handmade wooden table, very small and delicate, looking at the delicious dishes on it, I put all the unpleasantness behind me for a while, picked up the bowl and devoured two large bowls of rice in a row before stopping.
Sister Yang eats very gently, and when I stopped, she smiled and said, "I'm really hungry." ”
After taking a sip of soup with satisfaction, I touched my belly and said to Sister Yang: "It's cool, I haven't eaten it so enjoyable for a long time, Sister Yang, your craftsmanship is really good." ”
In the next few days, Sister Yang didn't ask me too much, but just observed my physical condition on time every day, and was relieved to see that it was indeed getting better every day.
In the past few days, I have also gotten acquainted with the rest of the neighbors around me, but the person who makes me feel most comfortable is Sister Yang, although the other people are also very amiable, but I have to say that Sister Yang's seriousness and meticulousness in life really make me admire it very much.
is the same life, such a simple yard, but Sister Yang can live so only orderly, full and clean.
Every morning at about seven o'clock, Sister Yang will get up on time, and occasionally sleep for more than ten or twenty minutes, but unless it is rainy weather, after getting up, Sister Yang will go to the yard to shake her arms and legs while waiting for the water to boil, wash her face and brush her teeth.
When she cleaned herself up and tidy, she began to prepare breakfast, in the process of preparing breakfast, she could also take the time to sweep the yard clean, and when Meimei and I got up and washed our faces and eaten, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and the kitchen and began to clean the rooms, wash clothes in the afternoon, clean up the vegetable patch, I want to help every day, but every time I help, it seems to be more and more messy, without me, Sister Yang alone can do a lot more.
And the most I do every day is to clean up the room where I sleep, and by the way, watch Meimei read and read.
Gradually, the neighbors also sent their children over for me to watch.
For a while, my place turned into a makeshift school.
At first, those children were all like the demon kings of the mixed world, but after two or three days of hard work, they all changed a lot under my coercion and temptation, originally, children are very easy to educate, as long as parents don't interfere indiscriminately, the teacher in their eyes is the most sacred person in the world.
It's just that even though they have become very polite to me, they have a big problem with each other.
They are obviously playmates and friends with each other, but after a few days of observation, I have found that among them, boys not only do not have the slightest humility and politeness to girls, but are always used to the same high-spiritedness, naughty bullying them, the most important thing is that I found that boys will always call those girls once they have something to do, although they are all trivial, but this problem happens to children very seriously.
Because of this, I did not give them a lesson that afternoon, but told a philosophical story that I made up, which roughly meant to educate them that boys should be polite to girls, which is a reflection of grace and cultivation.
But after all, they are all people who have not lived in the normal world, and they all seem to understand what I said, and finally before I finished speaking, a boy named Xiaopang stood up and said to me eloquently: "Teacher He, but my father said that girls should work for men, what can they do if they don't work?" ”
I was a little surprised to hear this: "Your father told you that?" ”
"Yes, I don't believe you asked Xiaodouzi about them, did their family say the same."
Seeing that the other boys were nodding their heads, and the girls were all hanging their heads and not saying a word, I realized that many of the educational concepts that these children had been exposed to for so long were wrong.
After thinking for a while, I pulled the bench between them and asked Chubby: "It's not right for your father to tell you this, think about it, no matter boys or girls, we all have parents and parents, all of whom have grown from children to adults, why should girls work for others?" They're just like you. ”
"It's different." Xiao Gang interrupted me very anxiously, as if he had heard some big wrong point of view: "Girls don't have the strength, they only know how to cry, if there is a walking corpse coming, of course it is the men who protect them, we are much better than them." ”
My face became a little serious: "This is what your father told you too?" ”
"It's not."
"Who said that?"
"My mom."
That day, I educated the group of boys for an afternoon, and I didn't care if they understood it or not, so I let them go back early, Sister Yang just collected the clothes to dry, and when I entered the yard, I saw me sitting in the corridor in a daze, and came over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Looking at Sister Yang's smiling face, which was even brighter than before, I shook my head, pulled out a smile and changed the subject: "What is so happy?" ”
Hearing this, Sister Yang was stunned: "What are you happy about...... What more could I be happy about? ”
"Don't hide it, it's all smiling."
After listening to my words, Sister Yang touched her face a little embarrassed, and then whispered to me after a while: "Meimei's father, they will be back tonight." ”
"Meimei's father?" I was stunned, I hadn't seen a single man here for a few days, and I had almost forgotten that they existed.
As for the whereabouts of the men here, I knew a few days ago, that the men would go out together for about a week every month, bringing back as much useful things or hunting meat as they could from the outside, or the big fish in the river would not come back empty-handed, but only a matter of quantity.
After Sister Yang quickly cleaned up the house, she changed into clean clothes, put on an apron and beckoned me to go out with her to Sister Sun's house.
On the way, Sister Yang told me that Sister Sun's man is the leader here, and every time the men come back from outside, each family will bring the good food they have prepared to his house and pick it up and prepare a big table for the men who have returned from a hard week's work to eat.
Naturally, I wasn't looking forward to or curious about those men, but I was excited at the thought of having a big table of delicious food.
But I obviously didn't understand their 'custom' of entertaining men here
When it was almost dark that night, the sound of children cheering was heard from outside, and then about a dozen or twenty dark-skinned men, tall and short, walked in from outside.
They didn't bring back much, but that didn't stop the women and children from being happy when they saw them.
I watched their respective wives come forward to greet their men, and I felt warm in my heart, in such a world, every meeting is indeed precious.
But the emotion didn't last long before it stiffened completely.
After a short period of warmth, those men were all on the table one after another, I looked at the remaining empty seats and was thinking about how there were still so many people crowded, Sister Yang pulled me aside and said, "Sister, if you are hungry, go to the kitchen to drink a bowl of rice and tea mats." ”
"What about you?"
"We're all waiting tonight, don't eat, you're a guest, it's different."
I was a little surprised: "Waiting? They're all adults, what else are they serving? You're all sitting down to eat, huh? ”
After listening to my words, Sister Yang looked at me strangely, and after a while, she probably realized that I was not from here, so she explained again: "We women here don't eat at the table." ”
"Then you're going to be hungry tonight?"
"No, no, after a while, when they're done, we'll take two bites of the rest of the food and finish it."
"What are you eating leftovers??" Now I can't understand it anymore: "Why do you eat the rest of the food you have worked so hard to make?" ”
"They have worked hard for so many days, come back this first day, serve them first, let's talk about it, we eat and drink well every day, and there is nothing to miss a meal."
"Hearing Sister Yang say this, and looking at the slightly blaming look on her face, I was a little puzzled if there was something wrong with my own thoughts?
I didn't drink rice tea, and I didn't want to wait for leftovers, I really couldn't stand those boys being hugged to the table by their fathers one after another, and the girls were all around, including Mei Mei, I could only watch them eat with envy, so I just went home and went to sleep first.
I talked to Sister Yang, and it was already dark when I left Sister Sun's house.
Walking to the door, I glanced back and sighed heavily, but a soft female voice suddenly came from the darkness outside the door: "Can't you stand it anymore?" ”
