Chapter 19: How to Sleep
Du Gang waved his hand holding the chopsticks, "Don't let me, what does I have to do with Tianming, right, Tianming!" ”
Li Tianming smiled: "That's it, how many years has the relationship between our brothers, and there is no need to fix that empty head." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" said and raised his chopsticks, "Then I'm welcome, try Yuemei's craftsmanship." As he spoke, he put a piece of chopsticks and meat slices into his mouth and chewed it, nodded and praised: "It's really good, this meat is very fragrant, and it's not hard." "In this era, most of the people here make meat at home and eat stew, and some people don't do it well, and the meat is not tender because it bites and grows firewood. This slice of meat is very tender, not firewood at all. While talking, he also took another piece of chopsticks and meat to Zheng Huiya, "You can eat some too, you didn't eat a few bites at night." "The care is palpable.
Du Gang and his wife looked at her at the same time, Du Gang's eyes flashed with a raging fire of gossip, I don't know if it was her illusion, I only felt that Du Yuemei's eyes were a little angry and hostile at that moment. When she looked at it again, there was no hostility in Du Yuemei's eyes, she was looking at her with a gentle smile, she felt that she must have a fever on her face, fortunately, the light was very dim, and everyone's faces were a little dark under the light.
"Thank you." She thanked her softly and ate silently. The meat slice is very tender, she knows when she tastes it, this meat slice is wrapped in a layer of flour, that is, starch, and now people don't waste it and don't know how to deal with it, but then life is better, and a lot of meat that needs to be fried is processed like this.
"It's delicious." She took a bite and put down her chopsticks.
Li Tianming knew that she couldn't let go, but he was worried that she would be hungry, so he asked softly: "Let's eat some more, or it won't taste good to be hungry in the middle of the night." ”
This gentle tone made Du Gang make a straight goosebump movement.
Zheng Huiya always felt that Li Tianming's words and actions at the moment were deliberate, as if they were deliberately given to others. She frowned, and quietly raised her head and glared at him: What is this for? Isn't that misleading?
Li Tianming smiled, didn't persuade again, and said to Du Gang: "She's shy, I'm embarrassed." ”
Zheng Huiya didn't eat anything more during this meal, but she was also very uncomfortable sitting next to her, and she always felt that Du Yuemei's vague eyes always fell on her.
Li Tianming was drinking with Du Gang, and when he thought of the guy named Du Teng she was looking for, the topic was turned to the coal mine where Du Gang worked without a trace. “…… Du Teng's boy is a capable man, and he has been a winner of the 'Labor Medal' every year in the past few years. We are still relatives, he is the grandson of my third grandfather......"
Zheng Huiya listened to the two chattering, but her eyes unconsciously drifted, she was tired and hungry this day, and the soles of her feet were a little swollen, and her body was not good, hearing the two talk about Du Teng, she wanted to hold up her eyelids and listen, but she was so tired that her brain didn't listen to her control, and she leaned on the wall in a drowsy and fell asleep.
Li Tianming said to Du Gang and his wife apologetically: "We didn't buy a ticket when we came, and when we came from Dawei Town, she broke her foot again and was tired...... Du Yuemei smiled heartily: "I didn't expect you to care about people tomorrow!" Du Gang frowned slightly and let go, in this ridiculous sentence, he actually heard a little sour.
Thinking of this, he remembered that Du Yuemei, who he had heard before, had never married because he liked Li Tianming, and his heart became a little uncomfortable. smiled: "It's late, if you don't mind tomorrow, let's just squeeze the four of us to spread the kang!" Let's be in the middle, let the two of them sleep on opposite sides. ”
Li Tianming was a little surprised, it stands to reason that the Du family has only one room, and it is normal to be crowded, but they should be separated from each other in their sleep. After all, he and Zheng Huiya are not husband and wife, how can they sleep next to each other.
didn't wait for him to say something wrong, Du Yuemei said angrily: "Look at you drunk, Tianming and her are not husband and wife, not to mention that they are not husband and wife, not even the object, how can they sleep next to each other, of course Tianming sleeps on the other side, you are next to him, I am next to you, this girl is here." ”
Du Gang smiled wryly and scratched his head, "Aren't I creating opportunities for Tianming!" ”
Li Tianming smiled quietly, "Yes, it's strange that you create an opportunity and don't let her treat me as a hooligan." If it weren't for the fact that he really had no place to live, he wouldn't want to come to Du Gang, not for anything else, just because Du Yuemei once told people that he never got married because he was waiting for him.
Li Tianming picked up Zheng Huiya, and waited for Du Yuemei to lay the mattress before putting the person on the mattress, the house was very warm, this place was short of materials, but there was no shortage of coal. Looking at the thick padded jacket on her body, he hesitated or decided to let her sleep like this!
The Du family and his wife insisted on letting Li Tianming sleep on the kang, and Zheng Huiya slept on the kang, at first he and Du Gang talked for a while, Du Gang had to go down the well during the day, and the work was very hard, and he snored after a while.
Du Yuemei leaned sideways and listened carefully for a while, confirming that Du Gang was asleep, and then called out in a low voice: "Tianming, are you asleep?" ”
Li Tianming didn't make a sound, but there was a slight snoring sound, Du Yuemei didn't give up, and asked softly: "Tianming, it's not easy for you to come here, stay tomorrow for another day, let Du Gang have a good drink with you tomorrow." ”
There is nothing wrong with Du Gang hearing this. But Li Tianming didn't make a sound, and after a long time, Du Yuemei closed her eyes in disappointment and fell asleep. Li Tianming opened his eyes in the dark. opened her eyes at the same time, as well as Zheng Huiya, who had fallen asleep before.
When Li Tianming picked her up, she woke up, she felt embarrassed to wake up and push him away at this time, so she simply pretended to be asleep, and after lying down, she didn't fall asleep for a while, and simply thought about her own thoughts.
Li Tianming can't get married, Du Teng has no hope over there, she is going to find the eldest sister after she goes home, the eldest sister has been working for many years, and she knows a lot of people, so help her find a job first, have a job, and when her life is safer, she is ready to review and participate in next year's college entrance examination. As for the object, she is still young anyway, and it is not too late to think about it after she is admitted to college and graduates.
In her previous life, her education level was indeed low, but later she had no money to tutor her children, she studied with her children, and in the era of developed information technology, her knowledge was naturally not comparable to today's people. She doesn't want to be admitted to any prestigious school, as long as she can go to a normal school in a provincial or prefecture-level city, she can be arranged to be a teacher after graduation.
This is a good profession that is both respected and can ensure income in times of drought and flood. There are also two winter vacations a year, when she does some small business and increases her income, she feels that life is very good.
The next day, Zheng Huiya was quarreled by the sound of talking. She was a little embarrassed, she thought about her thoughts too late last night, and she slept until Du Yuemei had finished the meal. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for you. I have the opportunity to go to our place with Brother Du. After breakfast, saying goodbye to the Du family and his wife, Li Tianming and Zheng Huiya went to the bus station and returned to the county seat.
