Chapter 8: The Girl Next Door
Xiao Mo has already come back from fetching water, looking at the dull Xiaoyu, don't worry, sister, in the past ten years, I have been washing my grandmother's face like this, and my grandmother is very good-looking.
Xiao Yu stood behind Xiao Mo, nodded suspiciously, when Xiao Mo pushed the lid of the coffin, only Xiao Yu's nervous breathing was left in the room, the cuteness and innocence were gone, even the beautiful and handsome face seemed to be a little nervous and stiff, she was really a little scared; When she opened her beautiful eyes and looked into the coffin, her eyes widened in shock, along with the small mouth that she had forgotten to close.
Xiaoyu's eyes were greeted by a ruddy and white face, which was not at all the face of an eighty-year-old man, no wrinkles could be seen on the face, and his face was as peaceful as a cloud floating in the mountains; The only thing that didn't open was the eyes, like a person who had fallen asleep peacefully, lying there quietly, his face incomparably calm; There were a lot of dried flowers and hay in the coffin that Xiaoyu had never seen, and there was a faint fragrance, which was very faint, and she suddenly remembered that this fragrance was the same as the fragrance when she entered the house.
Xiao Mo skillfully wiped his grandmother's face with his hands, he vaguely remembered the scene when he was a child, and his grandmother helped him wash his face and take a bath......;
But now, grandma can only lie here quietly, can only feel the temperature of Xiao Mo's hands, listen to Xiao Mo's voice, Xiao Mo thought about it a little sadly...... soon Xiao Mo wiped it, and then poured water on the surrounding flowers and plants, lightly handed, just like a child afraid of waking up and falling asleep grandma; Xiao Mo gently closed the lid of the coffin again. It's like nothing happened in this room, only Xiaoyu's face is puzzled and confused?
Don't think about it, Xiaoyu, I'll tell you the story of me and my grandmother when I have time, let's go to the backyard to see my vegetable patch, there are a lot of vegetables grown, and we can cook and eat later! Xiao Yu followed Xiao Mo to the backyard, a small place, which was divided into several small grids, in which many vegetables were grown, and there was a path in the middle that led to the mountain behind.
When I usually have free time, I order food with my grandmother, and my grandmother will also let me go with her to the back mountain to pick herbs, there are a lot of herbs in this mountain, and sometimes we will move the herbs here to plant a little, so we don't always have to go to the mountains to pick them;
When I was young, my grandmother always asked me to write a medical book "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", I also had a little understanding of herbs, and my grandmother often found some herbs to eat in the village.
However, since my grandmother passed away, I rarely went to the mountains to collect medicine, because as soon as I went up the mountain to collect medicine, I thought of my grandmother, and as a result, I planted some vegetables, and I ate some when I wanted to eat them, Xiao Mo said while walking with Xiaoyu.
This is the life of the countryside, everything is self-sufficient, Xiaoyu pointed to the green radish and said, let's eat this later, how fresh it looks! Okay, then I'll make you the radish bacon in our mountains, and then make a shredded radish for you.
At this time, a girl's sweet voice came from the door, "Is it Xiao Mo's brother is back", Xiao Yu followed Xiao Mo out of the backyard, and there was a girl about the same age as Xiao Mo standing at the door, with a tall figure, big eyes, blooming with brilliance, a long ponytail hair swinging behind her head, her white face looked whiter than the weather in the mountains, a white short T-shirt, lined with pink sports casual pants, it was really a beautiful scenery, and the sweet smile seemed to be as simple and natural as this landscape.
It's Sister Feng, school is on vacation, I'll come back and take a look. Xiao Mo glanced at Xiaoyu beside him and said, this is my friend Xiaoyu, come back with me to have a look;
Xiaoyu smiled and nodded and walked up, "Hello, call me Xiaoyu, Xiao Mo sometimes calls me Sister Xiaoyu, you are so beautiful!" Xiaoyu said to Xiaofeng.
"Thank you for the compliment, you are also very beautiful, my name is Bai Feng, Xiaoyu always calls me Sister Feng, you can call me Sister Feng or Xiao Feng, I am Xiao Mo's neighbor, and I play with Xiao Mo until I grow up," he said, taking Xiao Mo's arm and saying, wait a minute, you all come to my house for dinner, my brother knows that I am coming back, and I came back from hunting game in the mountains.
Xiao Yu looked at the hand holding Xiao Mo's arm, and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and then looked at Xiao Mo as if she was fine. At this time, Xiaofeng also pulled Xiaoyu with his hand, otherwise you can go to my house to sit first.
Xiao Mo looked at the light rain, otherwise, let's go to Xiao Feng's house at noon, and I have been asking for Xiao Yu's opinion in my eyes. Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Mo, and then looked at Xiaofeng in the middle and thought to himself, I can't be like this from childhood to adulthood, I will hold arms and hands as soon as we meet.
In fact, how did she know that in the many years since Xiao Mo's grandmother passed away, Xiao Mo has been at Xiaofeng's house, playing together, going to school together, eating and living together, that kind of little guessing days, making their relationship better than that of brother and sister. When her grandmother was alive, Xiaofeng's mother was very good with her grandmother, and she usually followed her grandmother to learn herbal medicine, and she also watched Xiao Mo and Xiaofeng grow up together, and she also treated Xiao Mo as her own son.
Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Mo and said, Okay, let's go to Xiaofeng's house. Saying that, he pulled Xiaofeng and said, We brought some gifts for you from the city, Xiao Mo watched the two of them take a lot of large and small boxes out of the car and walked into Xiaofeng's house together.
It is said that it is a neighbor's house, but there is also a small road, and there is a lot of land in the mountain village, and everyone can occupy a piece of it at will, and no one fights for it. Most people grow some food around their homes, and now there are not too many people in the village, and there are no people planting more land. There is not much difference between Xiaofeng's family and Xiaomo's family, just because there are people who live there, and the stone table looks much smoother. The smoke rises, the fragrance of rice wafts, and the people in the village cook with firewood, the fragrance is very strong, and it instantly increases people's appetite.
Xiaoyu said excitedly, this rice is so delicious! Xiaofeng took Xiaoyu's hand and said, Wait a minute, let's go and smell the "red stewed mountain boar" made by my brother, it will be even more fragrant.
Xiao Mo shouted into the room: "Er Fat, Er Fat, I'm back." A short and fat man in the room came out and patted Xiao Mo's shoulder with his big round hand, and the two of them patted each other.
Today I went into the mountains again to hunt.
yes, I guess you're coming back, it's been some time since school started, and you'll definitely be back.
Is Auntie preparing something for us to eat again? Xiao Mo watched Er Fat walk into the house.
Xiao Feng Niang was preparing lunch, and watched Xiao Mo come in and said, Xiao Mo, I'm back, it's a lot whiter and taller, I see that you still bring a girl back, is it your friend or your classmate. It's my friend, I met in the city, and I took her to the village to see it.
Xiao Fengniang looked at Xiao Mo and said, "Are you very beautiful, then you can wait outside first, and the meal will be ready immediately." ”
Xiao Mo was chatting with Er Fat outside about things in the city, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yu cleaned up the table, the two of them really felt like sisters when they stood together, they were so beautiful that they were on the ground, if the return rate and attack energy in the city would be millions.
Xiao Feng Niang looked at Xiao Yu and Xiao Feng outside while cooking, in her eyes, Xiao Mo and Xiao Feng were childhood sweethearts, and they have not treated Xiao Mo as outsiders for many years, just like a son, she has always hoped that Xiao Mo and Xiao Feng can be together, and in the village, the two of them are the best and most compatible.
When Xiao Mo was admitted to college, she was a little worried, the outside world was too big, and now that Xiaoyu is back, it makes the old man feel a little lost, it's not that she doesn't like Xiaoyu, it's just that she values Xiaofeng and Xiao Mo more.
The aroma of rice and the fragrance of the flavor are floating with a natural and fresh taste, Xiaoyu has been praising Xiaofeng Niang's delicious rice, and has been saying that Xiaofeng, Xiaomo, and Erfat are really blessed, and you have such delicious things to eat every day. In Xiaoyu's eyes, life in the countryside is as happy, natural and simple as Xiaofeng's family.
The meal was quickly finished, and a table of people was only fat and said that Xiaoyu was beautiful and could speak, Xiaofeng and Xiaofengniang were still a little uncomfortable, but they didn't show it. Xiao Mo and Xiao Yu also saw something, but everyone didn't say it, chatting about the city and the village, and the meal was over.
After the meal, Xiaofeng called Xiao Mo aside and said straight to the point, which Xiaoyu girl is your girlfriend?
She didn't expect that in just one month, Xiao Mo would bring a girlfriend back, so what is she?
Xiao Mo knew Xiao Feng's direct and cheerful personality, and he never hid anything, Xiao Mo also told Xiao Feng very firmly, Xiao Yu She is not my girlfriend, but she saved me, we only met, and she has been helping me ever since. Xiao Mo didn't say that she had moved to Xiaoyu's house, because she was afraid that Xiaofeng's character would quarrel.
"Okay, Sister Xiaofeng, I'll go see the eldest lady and the second fat," pulled Xiaofeng and walked back to the yard.
Xiao Yu was already sitting at the table waiting for Xiao Mo, and when she saw the two of them coming over and jokingly said, "What are you talking about, are you afraid that I will hear it?" ”
Xiao Mo glanced at Xiao Yu, whose face was yin and yang, and said, "No, we just talked about what happened when we were young." ”
Xiaoyu knew very well in her heart, it must be Xiaofeng who went to ask Xiao Mo, her relationship with Xiao Mo, she looked at Xiaofeng, and knew that Xiaofeng was a kind-hearted and fast-talking person, and she liked Xiaofeng very much.
"Okay, Xiaoyu, let's go home and take a look, see if we have to clean up, we have to stay here for a few days!" Xiaoyu said.
This is the truth, but it is also said to Xiaofeng, and the meaning is very clear to tell Xiaofeng, she wants to live with Xiao Mo under the same roof for a few days, don't look at you eating and living together from childhood to adulthood, now I can also eat, live and live with Xiao Mo.
In Xiaoyu's heart, she just wants to be angry with the current Xiaofeng girl, because she and Xiao Mo have not known each other for a long time, and they don't know Xiao Mo very well, but Xiao Mo saved her, and she is somewhat grateful and grateful, and she has lived together for a few days, and it can be seen that Xiao Mo is a simple and honest person, and when they lived together, they didn't find any bad behavior from him, and they did things seriously, and they were somewhat admired and moved.
After Xiao Feng heard this, her face obviously changed, but she didn't know what to say, because she knew that Xiao Mo's friends didn't live in Xiao Mo's house, where to live? Although I was very unhappy in my heart, I still said politely, yes, I really have to clean it up, Sister Xiaoyu, if you need anything, I will go over to help you.
After Xiao Mo said goodbye to Xiaoyu and Xiaofeng's family, they went back to their grandmother's house.
