82. Communication
As an adult with self-control, an adult who has worked hard all day during the day and sleeps soundly at night, the most painful thing is to be woken up by urine in the middle of the night.
Yang Liu sat up with hazy eyes and pushed the people around him. Li Cong turned over and smashed his mouth, but he didn't wake up. Yang Liu leaned down and slapped half of Li Cong's face, grabbing his ear.
"Get up." Li Cong pushed Yang Liu's shoulder with one hand, rubbed his eyes with the other, sat up sideways, and took out the fire fold from the edge of the kang to blow out the candle.
This is not good in the farmhouse, it is pitch black everywhere at night, there are many snakes, insects, rats, ants, Yang, and Liu does not want to be convenient in the sleeping house, so he wakes up Li Cong to give her courage.
Reaching out and patting on his arm, Li Cong blew into his palm, and threw the corpse of the mosquito that attacked him to the ground. One hand rubbed the blood off the wall, and when he withdrew his hand, he covered his mouth and yawned. Then Li Cong's movements paused, as if, it seems, probably he forgot something today.
The door of the pigsty opened, Yang Liu handed the candle to Li Cong, reached out to hold Li Cong's arm, and muttered, "Let's go." ”
There were many mosquitoes and smells, and there were pigs who were alarmed by her movements and thought they were cooking, and Yang Liu squatted down and actually stared at a candle for a long time.
"Lady, I feel like we've forgotten something."
Yang Liu raised her hand and yawned, and when she came to her senses, she looked at her own hand repeatedly with some surprise, as if she had forgotten to wash her hands in the thatched house.
"We forgot about the fourth brother tomorrow." Li Cong said slowly.
"You didn't go?" Yang Liu pulled out his hand and stretched out his index finger to point at Li Cong.
"Forget."
"It's miserable." The two said at the same time.
"Tomorrow morning, you should go to town early."
"That's all it can be." Li Cong shrugged his shoulders, then elbowed Yang Liu. "Let's go back."
Then Yang Liu opened his arms.
***
When Yang Liu woke up, the kang head next to him was already cold. It seems that Li Cong has already gone to the town early, is it already late? I rubbed my face with my hands. Then get dressed and get up.
Holding a wooden basin in one hand and opening the door with the other, he happened to meet Li Qiang, who had just returned from the crop field, and Yang Liu said hello.
"Hmm." Li Qiang answered and asked, "Brother and sister didn't sleep well?" ”
"It feels like I can't sleep enough." Yang Liu smiled embarrassedly.
She is not an old lady in her fifties or sixties, so this symptom should be normal.
"Dreaming?" Xiuxiu took over the conversation, "Fifth sister-in-law, I see that your eyelids are so swollen." ”
"Really?" Yang Liu put the wooden basin on the washstand and took a picture of the water in the water tank next to it. She hadn't looked in the mirror when she got up this morning, so she didn't know about it.
"Obviously." Xiuxiu nodded.
Yu scooped water into the wooden basin. Under the porch, the man stood in the courtyard and said, "I made so much money yesterday, can I sleep?" ”
Xiuxiu frowned. Even if the fifth sister-in-law made a lot of money and couldn't sleep excitedly, it was also her own labor income, and she couldn't see what the second sister-in-law looked like.
"yes, the thought of making so much money. It's worth it to be a little more bitter. Yang Liu said with a smile.
moved her mouth, and she didn't know what Yu was muttering, but looking at her expression, she knew that it was definitely not a good word, but she didn't say anything. This made Yang Liu a little surprised.
Whirl-haha twisted a hot handkerchief, and Yang Liu lay down on the kang again, covering his eyes with a handkerchief.
"Where's the fifth. Why don't you see him all the time? Ho's voice came, "The water tank is out of water." ”
Yang Liu pouted. What happened to the good duty, why did you have to let Li Cong go to carry the water?
"The back of my pants is off." Tie Zhu was holding a pair of pants that Wen had thrown at him. Yell.
"Chicken, chicken, chicken, why is there one less chicken?" After counting the chickens in the chicken pen, Dashan shouted in a panic.
"Learn and learn......" Dogan stomped the book on the table, covered his ears, and shouted, "Don't you guys make a noise, okay?" ”
Yang Liu took off the veil from his eyes and let out a sigh, oops, he was really angry.
Luck has always been very mysterious. Yang Liu also always thought she was lucky until
Lying on his back on the kang with a high pillow under his neck, Yang Liu pinched his nose and asked, "What's the urgency of my mother?" ”
It must be urgent, not urgent, so the knock on the door will be so strong? She had to eat a lot of good stuff for the nosebleed she had today, so she couldn't come back. Unexpectedly, she dodged Li Cong's fist, or planted a heel in the He family, should she have to come sooner or later?
With a thick nasal voice, it sounds like I've had a cold for a long time.
Seeing that Xiuxiu helped Yang Liu change a cold handkerchief, He Shi coughed twice and asked, "Where did the fifth child go?" ”
Yang Liu moved his eyes, "Yesterday we forgot to tell the fourth brother." ”
"I have a really good memory." He reacted for a moment and said the opposite.
"Yesterday was too busy." Yang Liu was also thick-skinned, "Didn't you remember going to town early in the morning after that?" ”
"You're still invited." He glared at Yang Liu before getting up and walking out, "Xiuxiu, go." ”
She didn't do anything wrong, why did she take Xiuxiu away, she still had nosebleeds.
Taking off the handkerchief, Yang Liu turned over and sat up, while spreading his hand flat under his nose, "Hey, no bloodshed?" ”
Li Cong held a few steamed buns in his hand and paced around the Du family's grocery store several times, if he was not mistaken, except for the Zhu housekeeper and a few young men, he really didn't see Li Zhuang's figure. Could it be that I went to buy again, so why didn't I say anything last time I came back?
After eating the last bite of steamed buns, Li Cong lifted his belt, clenched his fist against his chin and coughed, and then strode into the shop.
Steward Zhu, who was dialing the abacus one by one, suddenly noticed that there was a burly figure on the counter, which just blocked the view, and he said without raising his head: "Xiao Lizi, there is a guest coming, you hurry up and greet you." ”
He has never counted such a small number of accounts, although he usually uses a lot of abacus, but even the smallest money is also a few hangings, and now it is clear to a few words, and if you don't pay attention to reading a little wrong, you have to recalculate, otherwise the accounts will be reported to the eldest lady, and you will be beaten up if you find out. It's really troublesome, and the shadow in front of him that doesn't go.
The little guy named Xiao Lizi was walking this way, and the voice of greeting had already come. Li Cong raised his hand and knocked on the counter.
Damn, he's really sick, don't you see he's busy? Steward Zhu nodded a little bit of what he had just counted, then raised his head and said angrily: "You" As soon as he spoke, his eyebrows loosened, and then he arched his hand perfunctorily, "It's the fifth master." ”
Li Cong hummed uncomfortably, Steward Zhu's voice of the fifth master really called him old.
"The fifth master is shopping today, what are you going to buy? Something new in the shop"
Li Cong waved, "Isn't my fourth brother here?" ”
Steward Zhu looked at Li Cong with very suspicious and puzzled eyes, what does this mean, didn't my uncle tell the truth to his family when he ran away? It's just funny.
"Uncle went to buy the goods."
It's true, it doesn't seem like it's been a few days, why did you buy it for the second time? As soon as Li Cong finished speaking, he realized that it was inappropriate, and if the business was good, he would need to purchase goods frequently, and he was a layman.
"My two nephews are back from vacation, right? Is your eldest lady okay? ”
"The two young masters are back." Steward Zhu didn't know how to tell Li Cong about Du's situation, so he stretched out his hand to the side, "I'll take the fifth master to the house to have a look." ”
On such an important day for his father, naturally the family gathered well, Li Cong thought that the dogs were back, so he casually asked about the situation of Xuan and Zimo, and greeted Du Shi by the way, I didn't expect that Steward Zhu would not talk about Du's situation, now that Li Zhuang is not at home, Du is not in good health, the two children should still go, think about Li Cong and nodded.
Du Shi, who was wearing a belt on his forehead, was lying on the bed, and the two children, Zixuan and Zimo, were kneeling beside the bed, and the mother and son were talking.
Cui Bei stood aside and waited, seeing that Du Shi's expression was tired, he said to the two young masters that it was time to practice archery, so that Du Shi could have a good rest.
Watching the two brothers Zixuan and Zimo go out with a smile, Du closed his eyes tiredly.
Cuibei was just about to pull the door out, when a little girl whispered a few words in her ear.
It's not easy for her to call the shots. After all, the two young masters are the children of the young lady's aunt, and now although I don't know why the uncle and the eldest lady are separated, the two are still husband and wife. It is also appropriate to go to the grave for the father-in-law and the grandfather, but will it agree to take it to the next session?
If she told Li Cong about Du's current situation, she didn't know whether she should do it or not. Maybe there is a lot of stiffness between the uncle and the young lady, and now the young lady has just lost her child, and she doesn't have a good attitude towards the Li family. After thinking for a while, Cuibei still pushed the door in and quietly said a few words to Du Shi.
"Let the two brothers go." Du Shi opened his eyes slightly, and he was about to go back to sleep.
Cuibei answered yes, but stood still.
"Miss, do you need to tell them?"
A trace of ridicule quickly flashed in Du's eyes, saying that she didn't respect He and others, and how could He really treat her as a daughter-in-law? If it weren't necessary, or when they were supporting Li Zhuang, they wouldn't even have to step on the door. However, some vulgar and poor countrymen were as good as a stand-alone in front of her, which was very eye-catching.
Du Shi nodded, "You go ahead and talk about it." "This kind of thing will be known sooner or later, paper can't hold the fire, why bother to keep this secret in your heart and make her uncomfortable alone.
So Cuibei went down and ordered the men to prepare things for the tomb.
The door creaked and closed softly, and Du Shi opened his eyes. It's just that it just so happens that her child is also today's birth sacrifice.
is worthy of the Li family's species, and death has such a tacit understanding. (To be continued......)
