Chapter 54
The two of them walked out of the Qishan Dart Bureau to West Street, and Yu Liang said: "After delaying for so long, Uncle Zhong must be in a hurry!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi said: "No, I'm with you, my father can rest assured." ”
was originally a very ordinary sentence, but Lu Xiaoyi felt a little ambiguous when he said it, and then looked at Yu Liang's serious face, without any crooked thoughts, Lu Xiaoyi despised his own people for being cautious, so he shut up and stopped talking.
Lu Zhong was still carrying the goods, seeing Lu Xiaoyi and the surplus grain appear at the same time, the frowning brows finally relaxed, Lu Xiaoyi told Lu Zhong the general situation, Lu Zhong was very happy, seeing that the sky was approaching noon, and he didn't bring food, so he said to Xiaoyi: "It's almost noon, you and Liangzi go to the opposite restaurant to eat a bowl of rice oil tea, and then go back to the village together." ”
He said to Yu Liang again: "Liangzi, take care of Xiao Yi along the way!" ”
Yu Liang nodded.
Lu Xiaoyi said: "Dad, what do you eat at noon?" ”
"Don't worry, your dad can't be hungry! After unloading the truckload, I went to eat noodles with my working brothers. After speaking, Lu Zhong turned over the money bag, took out a few meal money, and handed the rest to Lu Xiaoyi to take home.
"Let's go, it's the Piaoxiang restaurant opposite, and it's a big bowl of rice oil tea for five cents." After Lu Zhong finished explaining, he drove the donkey cart to continue to pack the goods.
Lu Xiaoyi watched Lu Zhong drive away, and it was not until the donkey cart disappeared at the corner of West Street that he turned his head and said to Yu Liang: "Brother Liang, I invite you to eat rice oil tea!" ”
Yu Liang smiled: "Okay." ”
Lu Xiaoyi happily led the way in front and entered the restaurant, and the shopkeeper warmly beckoned them to sit down and asked what to eat.
Lu Xiaoyi looked like he was not bad for money, "Two big bowls of rice oil tea!" Put more chili peppers! "The peppers ate warm.
"Okay! Two large bowls of rice oil tea! Put more chili peppers! The shopkeeper put the rag on his shoulder and shouted loudly into the back hall.
Uh~ I forgot to ask if the surplus grain can be spicy.
Lu Xiaoyi asked with a red face, Yu Liang nodded with a smile, and when the rice oil tea poured with chili oil was brought to the table, the corners of Yu Liang's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and a faint wry smile appeared on his face.
The store is too real, and putting more chili peppers is not this multi-method!
Lu Xiaoyi's attention at this time was all on the rice oil tea, looking at the red brush on the rice bowl and brushing a layer of chili oil, he sucked in greedily, ah! That's the smell, and then rubbed his hands together and looked like he was about to start.
Sure enough, the rice oil tea with a lot of chili oil tastes the most refreshing, I feel that every pore of the whole body is spicy, and the whole body is comfortable, and then look at the surplus grain, the cheeks are red, the lips are red and gorgeous, and I want to eat it very refreshing!
Lu Xiaoyi thought so, the spoon in his hand did not stop, and he ate it quickly, and saw that there was still more than half of the surplus grain in the bowl.
"Brother Liang, it's spicy, isn't it?"
The rest of the grain almost shed tears, and he gritted his teeth and ate up the super spicy rice oil tea, as if he had swallowed a ball of samadhi true fire, and wanted to burn all his internal organs clean.
Lu Xiaoyi paid with a smile, and the rest of the grain looked like he was pretending to be happy after being tortured, and opened the curtain of the hotel, and the cold air hit, it was really two days of ice and fire.
Lu Xiaoyi didn't feel cold at all, he only felt that the thick cotton jacket was tucked on his body, which was not very breathable, and the spicy sweat from his chest and back wet the bottom clothes, and it was very uncomfortable to wrap it on his body.
The surplus grain carried the basket, motioned for Lu Xiaoyi to follow, and walked in the direction of leaving the city.
After a while, Lu Xiaoyi felt a chill again, and the warm air that he had just covered had long since disappeared, and his wet underwear was sticking to his chest and back, getting colder and colder.
Lu Xiaoyi endured the cold, walked briskly, and gradually warmed up his body again.
If Yu Liang's long legs were to walk as usual, he would soon be able to get rid of Lu Xiaoyi, but now he took care of her and slowed down.
Along the way, Lu Xiaoyi talked the most, starting from the big gray ash, talking with Yu Liang for a while about wolves and wolves, then about how to put fish baskets in the stream, and then asking for advice on how to arrange traps to catch more prey, and finally talked about his clump of thorny roses...... The topic was very relaxed, most of them were Lu Xiaoyi asking, Yu Liang replied with a smile, and when he encountered excitement, Lu Xiaoyi also opened his voice to argue with him, and unconsciously arrived at the official road crossing outside Xiaxi Village.
When a familiar village appeared in front of him, Lu Xiaoyi was speechless in surprise, he had arrived so quickly! I didn't feel so fast when I walked back to the village the first few times! Could it be that the surplus food took her a shortcut? Lu Xiaoyi stole a few glances at the surplus grain, and then looked at the way back, the real more than thirty miles of official road! It was as if it had come to an end in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, the speed of time depends on the reference.
Thinking of her previous life, the instructor arranged for her and a boy in the same class to send some materials to the XX department, the campus is very large, the XX department is the farthest, Lu Xiaoyi planned to ride, but the boy said that he couldn't ride it was better to walk, Lu Xiaoyi had to accompany the walk. Along the way, the boy asked what he said, Lu Xiaoyi didn't remember anything, she only remembered that her leg was about to break, but when she arrived at the destination, the boy said, "Ah, it's here so soon!" Lu Xiaoyi looked at him like a monkey at that time. After sending the information, Lu Xiaoyi dragged his broken leg back with him, and the boy miraculously said again: "Hey, it's here again so soon!" Lu Xiaoyi remembered it very clearly, and replied at the time: "You still say it's fast when it's so slow?" Are you a tease sent by the monkeys? ”
Then, there is no then.
Now, the role has been reversed, and the same thing happened to her, Lu Xiaoyi suddenly realized: When you wait for someone and feel that the time is long, and when you get along with someone and feel that the time is short, then you must be tempted by this person.
Lu Xiaoyi said secretly: "This is the cold winter, Sichun is not yet the season, right?" Moreover, this teenage little body is so precocious? She completely forgot that it was not that her small body was precocious, but that her soul was already ripe.
Lu Xiaoyi faked coughing twice, learned the tone of the boy back then, and deliberately sighed loudly: "Ah, it's here so soon!" ”
Yu Liang glanced at her, "This is the slowest I've ever walked. ”
Not only do people not think it's fast, but they also dislike each other for being slow like in her previous life.
Lu Xiaoyi's face was black, and he said secretly: This must be retribution, right? Definitely, yes.
Yu Liang looked at her with a strange expression and smiled: "You go in quickly!" I'll go back and pack up the thorn roses and send them over. ”
Lu Xiaoyi entered the house dejectedly, and launched a high fever that night.
Maybe it was cold, maybe it was retribution, maybe it was the sweaty underwear that was cold, Lu Xiaoyi was hot like a soldering iron, talking nonsense in his mouth, and his eyebrows were burned.
Lu Zhong went to ask Dr. Wu overnight, grabbed medicine and boiled it to feed her.
The potion was bitterly sad, Lu Xiaoyi closed her mouth tightly and was reluctant to drink it, Yulan asked Lu Zhong to cooperate in pinching her teeth and pouring it down spoonful by spoonful.
Lu Xiaoyi vaguely shouted the words of her previous life from her father and mother, and Yulan just thought she was talking nonsense.
Lu Zhong took Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng to sleep next door, Yulan guarded Xiao Yi, and kept changing the wet towel on her forehead, and when the rooster crowed, the potion finally worked, and she sweated, and the fever gradually subsided.
Yulan chanted Amitabha, changed Xiao Yi's sweat-soaked underwear, and then went to the stove room to boil hot water to scrub her clean, put on a dry underwear, folded the quilt, and went out lightly.
Lu Xiaoyi slept for a long time, and when he woke up, his head was confused, like taking a long nap, and suddenly facing the sunset outside the window, there was a sense of loneliness of abandonment. She stared blankly at a certain place, without focus, many memories of the past and present lives slowly surged in her mind, and then looked at the things around her, her heart suddenly became clear, some happy, and some worried, indescribable, and her heart was sour.
After a while, he heard the door knock and turned his head to look.
Yulan came in with the potion, saw Lu Xiaoyi staring at her, and said with a smile: "No one urged you today, but you can be considered lazy!" ”
"Mother." His voice is hoarse.
"Let's get the medicine and drink it."
Lu Xiaoyi took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, Yulan sighed: "You were in a daze last night, why didn't you drink the medicine, and the chaos and shouting of the eight or eight horses and horses frightened me." ”
"Mother, what else did I say?"
"I can't hear clearly, it's intermittent, it's all unintelligible mess anyway." Yulan put the medicine bowl on the kang table, smoothed the wet hair on Xiao Yi's forehead, and said kindly: "I left white rice porridge for you in the pot, and I will serve it for you." ”
Smelling the aroma of porridge, Lu Xiaoyi felt hungry, and the residual potion in his mouth was bitter and sweet, accompanied by white porridge, and quickly suppressed the restlessness in his stomach.
Yulan saw that she had a good appetite and was much better in spirit, so she happily folded the quilt into a square, put it on Lu Xiaoyi's back, and then folded the covered quilt, and sat on the edge of the kang to talk to her.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have promised you to sell Nalaoshzi steamed buns and freeze you out of illness, and you are the one who suffers."
Lu Xiaoyi saw that Yulan's eyes were blue, and the whole person was a lot haggard, thinking that she was sick and she also suffered, and reached out to hold Yulan, "Mother, blame me for not being good, I ate rice oil tea yesterday and put a lot of chili peppers, and I sweated and was blown by the cold wind, so I suffered from the cold." ”
Yulan said with remorse: "Why do you want to eat so many chili peppers without being cold?" Blame me for being too negligent, I should have given you an extra thick jacket yesterday. ”
Lu Xiaoyi made up for the image of himself wearing two thick cotton jackets, which can only be described in one round word, if that state was overthrown to the ground by Qi Feng's second goods, the scene would be even more comic.
Yulan said again: "This winter, don't think about going out, stay at home for me every day." ”
"Mother, yesterday someone ordered thirty fine noodle steamed buns, six dollars each, and made an appointment to deliver them to the door tomorrow."
"With your father, you tell him the address of your home, and you don't have to worry about the rest, it's the right thing to take care of your body."
Lu Xiaoyi scratched his head and said, "What is that street called?" I forgot to ask, why don't you ask Brother Liang, he is familiar with that piece. ”
Later, Lu Xiaoyi mentioned the matter of giving money to the surplus grain miners, and Yulan smiled: "You don't need to say it, I have already discussed it with your father, and give him a penny for each steamed bun, so that we can earn less, and carry the child by the way." ”
Lu Xiaoyi calculated the income twice, the first time he sold fifty thick noodles and thirty fine noodles, and yesterday he sold another hundred thick noodles and thirty fine noodles, a total of 675 wen, and 210 wen for Brother Liang, so it seems that Lu Zhong and Yulan are really kind, and almost all the profits of the coarse noodle cake are caught.
"Yesterday Liangzi brought a large bag of sun-dried thorn roses, and when these petals are used up, we will give him the money, although the money is not much, it can let him have a solid year."
Lu Xiaoyi said: "Mother, don't make coarse noodles and steamed buns tomorrow, let's just guard the He Mansion for fine noodles and steamed buns, so that you and your father don't have to suffer." ”
Yulan nodded, "I've worked with your father, thin noodles and steamed buns make more money than thick noodles, so let's make all those thorny roses into white flour steamed buns." ”
At this time, Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng pushed the door in, walked straight to the kang and stood side by side, Xiao Ding's face was anxious, and his big eyes were watery as if they were in tears.
Xiao Geng stretched out his hand to lead Lu Xiaoyi, "Sister, why are you sick?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi said with a smile: "The eldest sister is not an immortal. ”
"Yes, only immortals don't get sick." Xiao Geng was stunned.
Lu Xiaoyi saw that he was cute, and his hands wrapped his soft and smooth little fat hands and rubbed them hard, the thin calluses on the palms of his palms were itchy, seeing that he was giggling and wanted to break free, Lu Xiaoyi immediately coaxed: "Little brother, let the eldest sister rub it, and rub the eldest sister's illness to be cured." ”
Xiao Geng nodded and obediently let her rub it.
