Chapter Twenty-Four: Go Home and Get It Again

It was dark, Aunt Liu stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at it, and was relieved to see the two sisters and brothers coming back with their shoulders hooked, and the two approached instead, and when they saw Yu Xiaoxiu's blue nose and swollen face, they screamed and called out the two families who were eating in the courtyard.

Yu Xiaoxiu didn't want to tell Aunt Liu about the beating, no matter how she asked, she only said that she knocked it herself, Yu Shu helped him play sloppy, Aunt Liu couldn't ask, so she babbled a few words and went to the stove room to serve them rice.

There was an oil lamp lit in the room, and there were large bags of snacks on the table, Yu Shu sat down on the stool according to Yu Xiaoxiu, unpacked a bag of sesame crisp and winter melon strips and piled them in front of him, the roasted brown sugar crisp was drizzled with black, black, white and white sesame particles, and the pickled and brilliant and green sugar winter melon were piled together and looked good.

Yu Shu saw Yu Xiaoxiu's eyes straight, and his heart was a child, so he smiled and pinched a piece of sesame cake and handed it to his mouth, opened his mouth and said:

"Ahh

"Huh? Hmm-"

A large piece of dim sum was stuffed in his mouth, Yu Xiaoxiu covered his mouth, the sweet taste flowed in his mouth, strange and fresh, he looked at Yu Shu with round eyes, puffing out his cheeks, and didn't know how to chew.

"Silly," Yu Shu laughed at him, and also broke a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it rattling, it tasted good, there was no strange smell of preservatives, and the hand-kneaded dim sum was delicious.

Being teased by Yu Shu, Yu Xiaoxiu lowered his head shyly, chewed and swallowed the snack in his mouth slowly, the fragrance of sesame seeds made his nose sour again, licked the skin of his mouth, secretly sniffed his nose, and said:

"Don't waste it next time."

"What, you don't like to eat?" Yu Shu put back the winter melon strips that were brought to his mouth, and said dejectedly, "Didn't I want to make you happy, I knew that you didn't like to eat it, so I wouldn't buy it." ”

"No, it's not," Yu Xiaoxiu hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It's delicious, it's delicious, but with money, wouldn't it be better to save it to buy paper and ink, don't you want to learn to write?" ”

"Alas," Yu Shu sighed deliberately and leaned on the table, "I want to learn, but no one teaches me." ”

Rubbing his fingers against the corner of the table, Yu Xiaoxiu whispered: "I, I'll teach you in the future." ”

Yu Shu saw more of his cold appearance towards himself, and he was really not used to his little daughter-in-law, so he smiled, leaned over and stroked his head vigorously, and said:

"Okay, I found a job outside, I get paid every day, you don't have to worry about paper and ink, in the future, when my sister makes a lot of money, I will buy you delicious food every day, give, this is the rest of the money that my mother spends, you take it, this time you can hide it, and you are not allowed to rely on me if you lose it."

As he spoke, Yu Shu took out the change for buying things in the evening from his body, and threw a handful on the table, and the silver horn and copper plate were lying together, still with a little oil.

"You're out there?" Yu Xiaoxiu was surprised, and his face was full of "What can you do with your virtue", without concealing it at all.

Yu Shu said "um", and said vaguely, "I do chores for people in a shop, and learn to settle accounts by the way." ”

Afraid that Yu Xiaoxiu would ask again, Yu Shu quickly grabbed a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth, gagged him, and went to the stove room to help Aunt Liu under the pretext of running out of the stove.

Under a dim oil lamp, Yu Xiaoxiu looked at the pile of food on the table, and then looked at the small pile of change, Yu Shu's fierce face in the small garden shook in his mind, blinked, and felt that tonight was like a dream.

***

It rained lightly in the morning, a hazy layer, and when she was eating breakfast, Yu Shu pouted Yu Xiaoxiu to change the homework she wrote last night, and Yu Xiaoxiu rewarded her with a roll of the eyes:

"Don't you look at your hexagram as a master, if you just write a result randomly, do I still have to spend time arranging the plate? I really don't know how many lessons you have listened carefully to after studying the Tao for half a year. ”

As far as Yu Shu knows, Aunt Cui remarried to the Ji family six years ago, and it took another three years to coax Ji Xiaogu to take Yu Shu's sister and brother who have been living outside into the Ji family.

It's just that Yu Shu is not the current Yu Shu in those half a year, she has learned the most basic courses less, and she has no entry, so that it is easy for her to listen to her master now.

Yu Xiaoxiu saw that she didn't answer, but when she was weak-hearted, he knocked on the edge of the bowl and urged:

"Okay, eat quickly, it's raining and the road is slippery and slow, we have to go out early."

"Oh." Yu Shu continued to nibble on steamed buns.

In the past night, Yu Xiaoxiu has returned to his original state, and he has lost his daughter-in-law's face last night, but the change in his attitude towards Yu Shu is still obvious.

There is only an oil-paper umbrella at home, the color of gray is not autumn, Yu Shu held the umbrella handle high, and Yu Xiaoxiu squeezed under the umbrella, and went out in the voice of Aunt Liu.

I accidentally stepped on several puddles on the road, my shoes were wet, my feet were cold, and I entered the door of the study house, Yu Shu quickly pulled Yu Xiaoxiu, ran into the pavilion, slapped the rain on my body at the door, and found a place to sit on tiptoe.

The bamboo curtains in the private school were all lowered, and the rain could not sweep in, but there was a wind blowing, and it was still cold, Yu Shu shrunk his neck, sighed in his hand, and took off his soaked shoes while complaining that there was no shelter in the private school.

"How did you take your shoes off?"

Yu Xiaoxiu turned his head and saw Yu Shu taking off his shoes and twisting his socks, the loose socks were drooping, half of his neck was exposed, his eyes were white, his face darkened, he scolded, quickly turned his head to look around, no one was paying attention, and hurriedly grabbed her shoes and put them on her feet.

"What's wrong?" Yu Shu didn't know why, so he pushed his shoes on with his hand, and consciously stretched out his other foot to him.

Yu Xiaoxiu glared at her, brute force put on the other shoe for her, and said angrily: "You don't have a heart." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu will not scold her for no reason, Yu Shu knew that she had done something wrong, thought about it for a while, and roughly understood what was going on, she only thought that this room was full of children, and there was nothing embarrassing about taking off her shoes, she didn't think that she was also an ancient person now, and the custom here is probably that a woman showing her feet is the same as showing her chest and back.

Yu Shu had a memory in his heart, and said with a hippie smile with Yu Xiaoxiu:

"The shoes are wet and uncomfortably tight, and I'm not trying to wring them out."

"I'll have to wait until I get home."

"Oh."

The two small movements of the sister and brother here were not noticed by a person sitting on the railing not far away, and they just saw Yu Shu's half-white flower feet and neck, and they were stunned for a long time before they turned their heads suddenly, staring at the large and small puddles on the ground outside, and their faces were red.
