After the old woman left, Chou Bajie stood honestly and waited, the monkey squatted on his shoulder, stretched out a pair of fluffy monkey paws, and pulled his short hair, as if he was helping him catch lice by the bright moonlight;

The old woman quickly cleaned up the room, and because she was worried that the monkeys would make trouble, she hurried back, looking at the ugly Bajie dressed in moonlight, with a kind and kind smile;

"Kid! Come! Grandma takes you to bed! ”

Ugly Bajie smirked and nodded;

"Hmm!"

Carrying the monkey, the old woman walked through the courtyard and came to the door of the room, the hazy candlelight on the window lattice exuded a familiar and unfamiliar warmth, dispelling the darkness rendered by the night and illuminating the silent room;

"Squeak!"

The old woman stretched out her hand to push open the door and led the ugly Bajie into the house;

"Come on! Child! You live here before grandma helps you find your home and your grandpa! ”

Choubajie cautiously crossed the threshold, and by the soft candlelight, he widened a pair of small eyes and looked around curiously;

Spacious house, simple and modest decoration, an old wooden bed, carved with beautiful patterns, hung with a mosquito net, the curtain of which was separated on both sides and bound to the head and foot of the bed with a red rope;

a round wooden table, four wooden stools, and a tray with six dark blue ceramic cups upside down in the tray and a dark red ceramic teapot;

Next to the tray was a quaint one-legged candlestick, on which was covered with a lampshade made of tulle, and above a white candle, a bright yellow flame was steaming with hazy black smoke, exuding a faint smell of oil smoke;

"Squeak!"

The monkey widened a pair of smart monkey eyes, fell to the ground along the body of the ugly Bajie, jumped on the stool, and stepped on the stool on the round table, squatted next to the tray, and looked at the yarn lamp curiously;

The old woman stretched out her thin palm, gently stroked the head of the ugly Bajie, led him to turn around, and reached out to the quaint wooden washstand next to the door;

"Washbasin and towels here!"

The old woman's arm moved, pointing to the wardrobe next to her, and when she was about to speak, a strange sound suddenly came from the body of Ugly Bajie;

"Goo! ...”

The old woman smiled and looked at the ugly Bajie with an embarrassed face;

"Kid! Hungry! You wash your hands first, and grandma will get you something to eat! ”

Ugly Bajie smirked and nodded;

"Good! Thank you grandma! ”

The old woman was full of smiles, and set off with vigorous steps, and secretly glanced at the monkey without a trace before going out, and soon disappeared into the dark night;

Ugly Bajie watched the old woman leave, and looked at the washing rack in a blink of an eye, on which was a dark gold copper basin, on which was a mirror, surrounded by gossip patterns and mysterious runes, and a gray-white towel on top;

There was half a basin of water in the copper basin, and the ugly Bajie reached out to pull up his wide sleeves, and he couldn't help but think of Ma Shujuan, who gave him this dress at the beginning, and the eccentric and arrogant Ma Fengxian;

"Whoa! ...”

Choubajie sank his hands into the clear water, the cold feeling went straight to his heart, making him feel very comfortable, washing his little hands with a serious face, watching half a basin of clear water gradually become turbid, and turning back to greet the monkey;

"Brother Monkey! Wash your hands, too! ”

The monkey man stood up, stood on the round table, looked at the yarn lamp curiously, stretched out his furry monkey paws, touched it carefully, and retracted it instantaneously like lightning, as if he had been electrocuted;

"Squeak!"

The monkey turned to look at the ugly Bajie;

"Brother Monkey! Come! Hand washing! I'll help you! ”

Chou Bajie took off the towel and put it on his shoulder, took off the copper basin and held it in his hand, and walked quickly to the table;

"Smack!"

Chou Bajie carefully placed the copper basin on the round table, reached out and pulled the monkey's paws, pressed into the water without hesitation, and smirked to help the monkey clean the mud between his fingers;

"Squeak!"

The monkey's eyes widened, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, looking curiously at the reflection in the water;

"Kid! Come! Dine! ”

The old woman walked into the room with a tray and came to the round table;

"Good!"

Choubajie stretched out his hand and pulled the towel on his shoulder, carefully helped the monkey wipe the monkey's paws, put the copper basin back in place, wiped the water stains on his hands, folded the towel and put it back in place;

The old woman watched silently, nodded with a satisfied smile, and looked at the ugly Bajie who walked back with a little doubt;

"Kid! Why don't you pour the water after washing your hands? ”

Ugly Bajie replied with a serious face;

"Grandma! My grandfather said that to save food and water, the water that has been washed cannot be wasted, and it can also be used to wash feet, and the water after washing feet can also be used to water the vegetable field! ”

The old woman was touched and praised without hesitation;

"Good boy! That's good! Grandma is really liking you more and more! Let's eat! ”

Ugly Bajie smirked and nodded;

"Good!"

The old woman and the ugly Bajie turned their heads together, and they were dumbfounded;

I saw the monkey stretch out his furry monkey paws, pinch a brown pickle, and put it in his back mouth without hesitation;

"Hello! Let's go! ”

The monkey smashed his mouth and chewed twice, and was instantly scratched by the salty ear and cheek;

"Brother Monkey!"

There were a few steamed buns and two plates of pickles on the tray, as well as a bowl of egg drop soup.

"Squeak!"

The monkey stuck out his tongue and gasped, and the fluffy monkey paws were about to reach into his mouth to pinch out the pickles, when he suddenly saw the steamed buns handed over by Choubajie, hesitated and grabbed it, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, and chewed it quickly;

The old woman looked at the cute monkey with tears and laughter;

"You monkey! Alas! Wait, I'll get you something to eat too!" ”

The old woman turned away with a smile;

"Brother Monkey! To give! Let's eat steamed buns! ”

Chou Bajie handed the monkey a steamed bun, stretched out his hand to pull over the stool and sat at the round table, holding the steamed bun in one hand, holding the chopsticks in the other, nibbling on the steamed bun and eating the pickles, and drinking a sip of hot egg drop soup from time to time, eating with relish;

"Squeak!"

The monkey squatted next to the tray, learning the ugly Bajie, first taking a bite of the steamed bun, then pinching a pickle and putting it in the monkey's mouth to chew, and soon got used to the taste;

From time to time, he lay on the tray, pouted the red monkey buttocks, poked out the fluffy monkey head, put the monkey's mouth in the ugly bowl and drank a sip of hot egg drop soup, shaking the monkey's tail beautifully;

The old woman stood at the door with a tray, looking at the picture in front of her and couldn't help but be a little stunned, but after all, people are old and mature, and they quickly accepted it;

"Monkey! Come! This is for you to eat! ”

The old woman walked over quickly, put the tray on the table, and smiled kindly and kindly;

"Squeak!"

The monkey looked at the bananas, apples, pears, oranges, and a peach on the tray, and his eyes lit up with joy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ
