Chapter Twenty-Six: Living in a Pigsty
When Suman returned to the bridge cave, it was already dark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There was a black rumbling in the info bridge cave, and I could only grope my way in.
"Coming back?"
In the darkness, the voice of Fuyuko was heard.
"How's Yaoyao doing?"
Su Man touched Fuyuko's shoulder, and then handed the steamed bun to his hand.
"I've eaten it, so let's keep it for Yaoyao." Dongzi said: "Yaoyao has not woken up, and in the afternoon, she has been shouting her mother." I'm sweating all over my body. ”
Su Man groped and sat down beside Yaoyao, and tried Yaoyao's head with his hand, it was still so hot.
"This kid, I'm afraid it's a thin life!"
In the darkness, an old voice said.
Su Man's heart was shocked, yes, if this continues, Yaoyao will die.
"Uncle Yu, can you think about it, is there any other way?"
Uncle Yu is over 60 years old, has only one leg, and is a very kind person. When Su Man goes out, he will ask Uncle Yu to help take care of Yaoyao.
In the dark, Uncle Yu sighed and didn't speak.
Su Man didn't need to ask anymore to know that Uncle Yu had no way. You can only resign yourself to fate.
When the child is sick and has no money to see the disease, money is the key. If you have money, maybe you can take a few pills.
A cold and fever is not a serious illness, but Yaoyao is different, Yaoyao has a terrible fever, and if it goes on like this, she will die.
Suman didn't cry, and in the dark, her tears continued. She felt the injustice of fate, this child, just after the New Year, is only six years old.
Su Man made a mistake that nearly cost Yaoyao her life.
This mistake is that she doesn't believe in evil, otherwise, if she opens the peach pit and lets the nine-tailed fox out, Yaoyao's life will be saved soon! Don't say that the nine-tailed fox has any spells, but when it comes to the medicine that Yaoyao needs, can the nine-tailed fox get it?
It was late at night, and Uncle Yu's snoring was one after another, and Su Man had long been used to it.
She wiped the beads of sweat from Yaoyao's forehead, lay down beside Yaoyao, and fell asleep.
Perhaps he was too tired the day before, but when Suman woke up in the morning, it was already dawn. The other beggars were still asleep, and no one got up so early, and when they got up, they had nothing to do, and they didn't have anything to eat. It's better to arch in the wheat grass and nourish the spirit.
Yesterday, Xiao Yun told her that there was no need to rush to carry water. But after washing the diaper, for the sake of performance, she still went to fill the tank with water.
Today she said that she was going to make breakfast for others. Xiao Yun also specially took a set of old clothes without patches and asked her to change into them early. But she slept past the time.
Su Man got up, scratched his hair with his hand, woke up Dongzi, asked him to help take care of Yaoyao, and hurried out of the hole, and when he passed by the river, he picked up cold water and washed his face.
"What did I say, she took her clothes, don't come! I believe that a flower child really has you! In the courtyard, Er Lai was complaining about Xiao Yun.
"Look at your attitude yesterday, you still beat people, who can stay? I still have the face to say! Xiao Yun choked back.
"Master, young grandma, I'm late, I'm sorry." Su Man pretended not to hear anything, and hurriedly entered the kitchen, where Cheng's mother was cooking the pot.
Seeing Su Man coming in from outside, the two stopped talking, and it wasn't until Su Man entered the kitchen that Er Lai yelled.
"You're just lazy, you said you came early to cook, why didn't you come now, you know if you're late at the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"You're still yelling?" Cheng's mother couldn't look at it, and said to Erlai outside: "She did so many things yesterday, and she also picked a tank of water, can she not be tired with her small body?" ”
"No, Cheng's mother, my sister is sick, and I took care of her until midnight before sleeping. I woke up in the middle of the night, and when I got up to see that it was still early, I was sleepy for a while, and I didn't want to sleep, I'm sorry. ”
As he spoke, Su Man pulled Cheng's mother and made the pot by herself.
Erlai stopped talking, and he washed his face.
"Hanako, I haven't asked you yet, where do you live?" Xiao Yun walked over, leaned against the door frame, and combed her hair with a comb.
"Live over there on the South Bridge!"
"So far?" Cheng's mother exclaimed.
"Where's the South Bridge?" Seeing that her mother-in-law was so surprised, Xiao Yun stopped combing her hair and asked.
"It's still over there at the entrance of the vegetable market, the same place where I took you to see the execution of the East King, you know?" Er Lai hung up the towel, "It's so far, no wonder it's late, you came here?" ”
"She didn't run, she came in a sedan chair!" Xiao Yun glanced at Erlai, thinking that his words were like what an idiot said, how can a person who asks for food come? !
Su Man was boiling the pot, and when he heard them talk about Dongwang, he thought of Chen Yu, and he didn't know how he was doing now.
The meal was quickly cooked, and Suman went out, scooped up the water with a scoop, washed his hands, wiped his clothes, filled them with rice, and brought it to the table.
Xiao Yun held the awakened child to breastfeed, she sat in front of the hall, watching Su Man's every move, this flower was still clean, and she was conscious, she didn't wipe her hands with their towels.
"Where's the South Gate?" Erlai sat down, picked up a steamed bun, and learned the master's tone.
"In the South Gate Bridge Cave!"
When the child was full, Su Man took the child from Xiao Yun's hand and asked Xiao Yun to eat, saying casually.
"Bridge holes? There are a lot of beggars there! ”
Er Lai took a sip of rice porridge and looked at Su Man, is this flower still quite pretty. Erlai said casually.
"That place is not as clean as our pigsty!"
"Shut up, there's no such thing as you!" Cheng's mother saw that her son spoke without proportion, and in the prime minister's mansion in the future, she had to pay attention, and reprimanded: "In the future, you will talk about it after thinking about it, and then say it smoothly, it is not a joke in the prime minister's mansion, if you get into trouble, who will give you a small shoe to wear, and our mother will have to walk around if she can't eat!" You haven't suffered a loss! ”
"It's true, Cheng's mother, what you said is right, there are many people there, and the garbage picked up is thrown everywhere, and no one cares. It's just that there, there are more people, everyone is together, and no one bullies me, so I covet this and live there. Su Man was busy holding the child and speaking for Erlai.
"You have a sister?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Yes."
"How old are you?" Xiao Yun asked again.
"Five years old!"
"What's wrong? Frozen, right? Cheng's mother said.
"Hmm!" Su Man didn't dare to say that she had a fever, she was thinking about it.
"Leave her there alone, don't you worry?" Cheng's mother asked.
"If you don't worry, you can't do it. When I go out to eat on weekdays, I take her with me! ”
"You can bring her in for fun, too!" Xiao Yun said.
"Far away, not to mention that she still has a cold!"
"We don't have a spare house either, otherwise you can bring your sister to live in these days!" Cheng's mother finished eating and stood up, "You can also put on a bowl of rice to eat!" ”
"I'm not hungry!" Su Man wanted to leave them with a good impression as much as possible, and remembered the pigsty that Er Lai had just said, so he changed the topic and said, "Mother Cheng, why don't you raise pigs at home?" ”
"It was originally raised, but now that Xiao Yun is born, the house is recruiting people again, and the son is also on an errand in the house, and there is no one in the family. But I don't want to feed the pigs, and now the house is treated well! Cheng's mother packed up and prepared to go to the house.
"That's ??????" Suman wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's the matter, say?" Cheng's mother said.
"It's such a long way, I'm afraid that tomorrow morning will delay your old breakfast, can I bring my sister and live in your pigsty?"
Su Man raised his head, his heart pounding. She plucked up the courage to say it.
"Live in a pigsty? No, no, no, it's so dirty in there, how can people live there? ”
Xiao Yun calculated in her heart, if this called Hanako lived, someone would fall in the urinal every morning, and the children would make trouble at night, she could also help coax her. In the past month, she hasn't slept well. Xiao Yun thought so, and spoke.
"Mother, didn't our master say it, the bridge hole is not as good as our pigsty. What we have in our house is wheat straw, at least it's warmer than in the bridge hole, right? Besides, the pigsty has not raised pigs for a long time, and there is no smell in it, and the pig has long been dry, shoveled out, and padded dry soil inside, covered with wheat straw, and then padded cotton tires, is it not better than where she lives? Besides, such a long journey also saves her from suffering back and forth. ”
"Yes!" Su Man was grateful to Xiao Yun in her heart, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Cheng's mother expectantly.
"Okay, if you don't feel dirty, you can move here, and you can do it yourself!" Er Lai spoke, and followed Cheng's mother to the gate of the courtyard.
Er Lai has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, this is called Huazi, and he looks quite thoughtful! The imaginary picture appeared in his mind, and he happily hummed a little song and went to the prime minister's mansion.
