Chapter 15: The First Insomnia in My Life
The fifth and sixth children sat at the dining table covered with newspapers and did their homework, and each of them occupied one side of the table. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info there is also a side that is not against the wall, it turned out to be the fourth child sitting when he was writing homework, because he thought they were too noisy, the fourth child moved to the side of the bed and laid a wooden board on the bed to write, and the vacated table is now used by Gu Aimin.
"Live and learn." Gu Yongjun rubbed Gu Xi and Gu Ran in a good bath, got up and mixed another basin of water with a basin, she took the basin and poured Gu Xi in the bath and said: "The second sister insists on studying when she doesn't study, why don't you two hurry up and keep up with the second sister and the fourth sister." ”
"Then why don't you learn?" Lao Wu turned his head and rolled his eyes at Gu Yongjun in the kitchen.
"Who am I going to learn to do the housework?" Gu Yongjun took Gu Xi out of the bath tray, carried her to the big bed outside and let her dress herself, returned to the kitchen and then washed Gu Ran with water. After the two little ones are waited, they have to wash their clothes, and after washing their clothes, they have to chop firewood, and after chopping firewood, they have to feed the piglets. After doing these things, it was almost time to go to bed, and she had to wake up the sixth child in the middle of the night, and Tu Bamei repeatedly told her not to forget before going to work.
"Go, you two go to the door to play, don't quarrel with the fourth child here." Gu Yongjun put the dirty clothes in the basin, pressed the washboard on it, held the basin against his waist with one hand, and drove the two small ones out of the kitchen with a big foot basin in the other.
As soon as Gu Yongjun arrived in front of the water pipe, the cat's ear also came with a basin containing the vest he had worn before. After he came to say hello to her, he took a basin of water, squatted next to her and was about to pour washing powder, but she urgently stopped him.
"Why do you put so much water in one dress? If you put more water in the laundry detergent, you will need more, isn't it a waste? Gu Yongjun stretched out his hand and poured out more than half of the water in his basin, "Just put a little bit of laundry detergent, soak it for a while, and rub it a few times with water." ”
When Cat Ear poured the laundry detergent again, she said, "Forget it, I'll wash a piece of clothing for you." She stretched out her hand to get the clothes from his basin, but he refused to let them, and said, "I will come by myself." ”
In the middle of the night, I look forward to the dawn
In the cold winter, the wax moon is looking forward to the spring breeze
……
A few girls were dancing rubber bands in the flat at the head of Yu Yue's Red House, a few boys were squatting on the ground in front of the bamboo fence and playing glass beads, and someone was still eating with a bowl under the big tree not far away.
The town in the twilight, peaceful and peaceful, like a flowing sketch painting.
"Brother Maoer, I heard that you don't want to join the big collective, why?" Gu Yongjun rubbed his clothes and thought of this, "Isn't collective labor more secure than zero-hour workers?" She said.
"What's so good about being a worker in a small town all your life? A comrade-in-arms of mine went to Guangzhou to work after the Chinese New Year, and he sent me a letter last month asking me to come over. ”
"Why did you travel so far to work? Isn't it still a part-time job if you work outside, so it's good to be at home? ”
"You don't understand, you've only been to the county seat since you were so big, right? How wonderful the outside world is, you will never know if you don't go out to see it! ”
Gu Yongjun said: "I don't know, I only know that it is good to be at home for a thousand days, and it is difficult to go out." I don't understand why you don't want to do a good group job at home, but you want to run out to do part-time work? ”
"If I live in this town for the rest of my life, I won't be willing to die!" After Mao Er finished speaking, he asked Gu Yongjun, "You really never thought of leaving this town to see the outside world?" ”
"No matter how good it is outside, it's not my home." Gu Yongjun soaked the washed clothes in the footbasin, pulled one over and spread it on the washboard, and asked him again while playing soap, "Why didn't you go so much, are you worried that Aunt Liu will have no one to take care of her at home?" ”
"It's not all ......," the cat ear rubbed the vest in the basin for a while, and said hesitantly, "I have something on my mind, and I want to wait for it to be implemented...... Supporting the ......"
Cat's ear suddenly called out in an unusually low voice, "Embrace the army", she was shocked in her ears, and the blood in her whole body seemed to rush to her face in an instant. She hurriedly lowered her head and rubbed her clothes vigorously, pretending not to hear.
The ears seemed to float through the cat's ears and sighed softly.
Gu Yongjun couldn't help but glance at him out of the corner of his eye, and when she saw him squatting there with a lonely face, her heart softened.
"Cat Ear Brother ......"
"Huh?"
He looked over quickly, his eyes shining in the twilight.
Looking at each other, Gu Yongjun's mind didn't quite brush over the white hair on Tu Bamei's head, and she said expectantly, "I, uh...... I forgot to seal the coal fire......"
Gu Yongjun got up and ran, she was so flustered and in such a hurry when she ran that she almost knocked over the washboard......
This night, Gu Yongjun had insomnia for the first time in his life, because he was the eldest in the family, Gu Yongjun had hardly felt the soft words of his parents until now, and the soft cry of the cat's ear stirred her heart for a long time.
Cat Ear Gu Yongjun is five years old, his scientific name is Chen Weiping, Aunt Liu brought Cat Ear back when he was more than three years old, Aunt Liu said that it was the child of a relative in his hometown, and he gave her to be an adopted son because he couldn't support it, whether it was true or false is unknown.
In Gu Yongjun's memory, when Maoer was rarely at home, the two lived door to door, but they were by no means childhood sweethearts, when she was a child, she often saw Maoer coming back from school and not entering the house, pushing open the door and throwing the schoolbag on the ground and running away. At that time, the cat ear always liked to run behind the buttocks of some big children in the village, and Aunt Liu often took a thin bamboo strip to look for him all over the village and the river embankment when it was about to get dark. Later, Mao'er became obsessed with erhu, and he forgot to sleep and eat, and Cheng Tmall pestered people to teach him to play erhu in the home of a lonely old man in the second village of cooperation. Aunt Liu relied on the cat's ears for everything, but she didn't let him learn erhu, and beat him up for him to learn erhu from the old man. But it didn't work, what Maoer decided had to be done, Aunt Liu said that he was shouting to learn erhu when he slept at night, and then Aunt Liu had to compromise. It is said that the old man who taught cat's ear to pull erhu used to be in the troupe, and after he passed away, he gave the erhu to Maoer.
The first time Gu Yongjun and Maoer had an in-depth exchange of language was not long after her father passed away, and it was also an evening that day, Maoer sat at the door after eating and practiced erhu, and Gu Yongjun came out with a stack of bowls to wash the dishes in front of the water pipe. When she walked to the door, she tripped over the threshold and broke a few bowls, Tu Bamei ran out, and without saying a word, she was stopped by the cat's ears when she grabbed the rotten bamboo broom by the wall and hit her. Maoer grabbed the bamboo broom and threw it on the ground, pointed to Tu Bamei's nose and said that she was worse than her stepmother, and Tu Bamei said afterwards that if she hadn't looked at Aunt Liu's face, she really wanted to kill him with a broom.
After that time, Gu Yongjun quietly thanked the cat ear when Tu Bamei was not at home on the night shift, and the two stood in the backyard vegetable garden across the fence and chatted for a while. Not long after she learned to ride a bike, Maoer was sent to labor camp for stealing scrap copper and rotten iron from the factory, but she knew that the reason why he did it was to buy her a women's bicycle in exchange for money. She once thought about secretly going to the labor camp to see him, but she couldn't go because of timidity.
In the past few years, the cat's ear is like a cinnabar mole growing on Gu Yongjun's chest, usually silent to the point of being ignored, but as long as you look down, you can see it. The last time her master said to introduce her to someone, the cat ear sitting at the door pulling the erhu and the cat ear chasing after her bicycle and shouting at her to be careful flashed alternately in her mind. Quietly turning over, Gu Yongjun seriously thought about whether he liked cat ears for the first time? After thinking about it, she couldn't give her own answer, but her mind was confused. For a moment she felt that she was asleep, and she was quite asleep, but she seemed to be awake all the time.
The sixth child "sighed", Gu Yongjun woke up completely, she stumbled out of bed, uncovered the sixth quilt and reached out to touch it - it's over! The sixth pees again!
