Chapter 12: Joy

Su Qiqi couldn't imagine that his own grandmother and his eldest brother were calculating their family. At this time, she was immersed in the fire and steamed the rice, she didn't have the strength to move the retort to the pot, so she followed Liu Sanniang's example to beat the rice out and put it in the bowl, then beat the water in the pot and put the wooden rack, and then put all the things to be steamed.

was watching the hot gas in the pot come out and be happy, when Liu Sanniang's voice came in: "Qiqi, where are you?" Come and see, my mother picked something delicious for you and came back. ”

Su Qiqi answered in the kitchen: "Mother, I'm in the kitchen." ”

Liu Sanniang heard the sound and came in: "Qiqi, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Are you hungry? Come, my mother just went up the mountain to chop wood and found a tree of wild peaches, you wash it and eat it. Hey? Are you burning a fire? Qiqi, don't burn it, be careful to burn the pot. ”

Su Qiqi stood up and pulled Liu Sanniang to the stove: "Mother, Qiqi learned that you steamed rice and vegetables, there are no other dishes but autumn beans, do you see if it is steamed like this?" ”

When Liu Sanniang saw the food in the hot pot, she was so happy that tears came out: "Brother Cheng, come and see, we will cook in Qiqi." ”

Su Ercheng ran over and saw this scene, and immediately shouted: "Huh? Our family's Qiqi actually has a talent for cooking? What a good boy! ”

"Qiqi, you go and wash your face, hand it over to your mother here, and you can eat immediately." Liu Sanniang was pleased to take the fire in her daughter's hand - one - book - read - novel {y}{b}{d}{u} tongs, and instructed Su Qiqi.

Su Ercheng also urged her: "Qiqi, go quickly, I don't need you to cook in the future, you are still young." Daddy went to shut down the chicken and ate immediately. Sanniang, let's cook an egg soup. ”

After a while, the three of them came to the table, but there were three smiling faces reflected under a dim oil lamp, Liu Sanniang put a small bowl of eggs in front of Su Qiqi and said, "Qiqi, eat quickly, eat and sleep will grow fast." ”

The kind voice was as warm as fairy music, looking at the hopeful faces of Liu Sanniang and Su Ercheng in front of them, and then looking at the oil-free vegetables in front of them that would never change, Su Qiqi's eyes suddenly soured, and a tear fell with a "horn".

Liu Sanniang exclaimed: "Qiqi, don't you like to eat this dish?" It's not good for my mother, my mother knows that you are tired of eating eggs every day, but now only eggs are a little nutritious. Good boy, in a few days I will collect some grain in the field and sell some of it, so let your father buy you meat to eat. ”

Seeing that he was misunderstood, Su Qiqi didn't know why he was so easily moved when he came to this world. She divided the eggs in the bowl into three parts: "Father, mother, Qiqi didn't want to eat meat, because Qiqi had eggs to eat every day, and Dad and Mother only ate these oilless dishes, so sad." ”

Liu Sanniang took the cotton towel brought by Su Ercheng to wipe away her tears, and after listening to Su Qiqi's words, she fell down again: "Silly Qiqi, my father and mother are adults, where do I want to eat eggs?" Children eat eggs to grow up quickly, don't be sad, eat them quickly. ”

Su Qiqi sandwiched some eggs into the bowls of Su Ercheng and his wife: "Daddy and mother eat one piece, and eat the rest of Qiqi." ”

Liu Sanniang wanted to clip it back, but Su Ercheng opened her mouth: "Her mother, eat, this is our Qiqi filial piety to my father." In this life, I have Qiqi as our child, and I am content. ”

Liu Sanniang lowered her head with tears in her eyes and put the rice in her mouth, and said in a choked voice: "Well, it's delicious." ”

Although it is very poor, this family is very loving.

Su Qiqi really brought his heart into this home this time.

After eating and taking a bath, Su Qiqi was carried to the bed by Liu Sanniang, and asked her to sleep first, and her father and mother came immediately. Su Qiqi obediently agreed, she knew that in this poor and broken village, ordinary people were reluctant to order oil lamps for a while at night, and they all went to bed as soon as possible to save some lamp oil.

Liu Sanniang went out with an oil lamp, and the room was dark. Looking at the hazy night outside the window, Su Qiqi missed the brightly lit street in modern times.

I remember reading Guo Moruo's poem "Heavenly Market" when I was a child: The street lights in the distance are lit, as if countless stars are shining. The stars in the sky appeared, as if lit by countless street lamps. The author is the same as her, who has been in the era of oil lamps for a long time, and must be very happy to see the bright lights, right?

Reading it now, I can really understand the author's state of mind at that time: joy.

When the Su couple returned to the room with the oil lamp, Su Qiqi, who had been thinking crankily, was basically about to fall asleep. She woke up again when she heard the two of them talking.

I only heard Liu Sanniang say softly to Su Ercheng: "Xianggong, Qiqi's complexion is very good today!" ”

Su Ercheng said with relief: "Yes! At dinner, I saw her blushing and simple, and I was really happy! As long as she is in good health, I have energy all over my body, and I am very energetic to work. ”

The two sat in front of the bed and were about to undress, Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Su Qiqi's forehead and hands and feet and said softly: "It's true, in the past few days, when I think that Qiqi is fine, I have more and more strength in my heart." This monk's spell is really strong, no wonder so many people believe in the monk's ability. How many doctors have seen Qiqi, and they all say that Qiqi can't be saved, but in fact, they are all incompetent. When I heard what they were talking about, I wanted to follow her right away. If it weren't for the monks, the two of us would have followed us to Huangquan a long time ago! ”

Su Ercheng got on the bed and hugged Liu Sanniang on his chest and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be sad!" Although we both lost ten years of life, we can't accompany Qiqi to old age. But as long as Qiqi is good, let alone ten years, it is twenty years, and we are willing to do it! ”

Liu Sanniang choked up and said, "Well, as long as Qiqi is good, even if I die tomorrow, I don't care!" ”

After listening to the conversation between Liu Sanniang and Su Ercheng, Su Qiqi's body was shocked, what do the words of the Su family's father and mother mean? Could it be that this original body was originally unsaved, and it was the monks of Falong Temple who used the lives of the Su family and his wife for ten years to come back to life?

It's shocking! Is there really a god in this world who can bring people back to life? No, no, no, it's the immortal who transforms my soul?

The Su family's parents exchanged their lives for their daughter's rebirth? What kind of parental love is this? Su Qiqi's heart shook abnormally, and his heart was clenched tightly.

Suddenly, she was excited again, thinking back to her father's words just now, her soul was recruited. That is to say, maybe this high monk has a way to let her come to this world, and there will be a way to let her go back?

Is this true? Can she really go back to the brightly lit market? For a while, Su Qiqi was pleasantly surprised, forgetting the discomfort, and his heart was full of surprise and expectation!

Suddenly she thought of the parents, who traded their lives for their daughter's, but did they know? This soul has long since changed! What would happen to them if she did go back?

But can she not go back?

No.
