Carry the washed clothes home, pull the clothesline to dry the clothes, my mother has already finished the meal, and I am telling the little brother Yi to fly to the ground to call my father home for dinner.
When my father returned, they ate around a shaky, old, painted wooden table, with a bumpy muddy surface and a leg that had been stopped by insects, and a tile had to be stuffed each time to put it.
There are only two simple pots of vegetables on the table. What is the basin? Because there is a lot of farm work in the family and there is a large population, in order to save time and save firewood, I make a day's worth of food at a time.
One of the pots is cold Houttuynia cordata, a wild vegetable that can be sold for dozens of yuan a piece in a restaurant in the city.
In the other pot, there is only a little oily water spinach, which is slightly yellowed due to the long time of frying, which makes people's appetite plummet.
Meng Yihui, who is in the period of growth and development, and her second sister Yi Qiao and younger brother Yi Fei are all as thin as a handful of bones, and Meng Yihui can't help but feel a sour nose.
"Let's eat, eat a good meal and go to Yizhu to come back." After the mother set the meal, she sat down and said while picking up vegetables, "Yi Fei, you are at home to take care of the house, Yi Qiao, you go to your grandmother's house to have a look, Lao Meng will go to your sister's house to have a look, Yizhu and a few children in my sister's family are having a good time." Third sister, you and I will go to town to see if she has gone to the same school. ”
Yihui sighed in her heart, and when she heard her mother's words, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her mother.
Mom specially called her along, and she naturally knew what the real reason was.
At the same time, the father also turned his head to look at his mother, and when he was about to put the rice in his mouth, he stopped, and looked at Yihui again with complicated eyes. And when Yihui turned his eyes to look at his father, he lowered his eyes again and began to eat in a muffled voice.
"Mom, there are two more years, wait for me for another two years, when the time comes, I will stop studying, I will go to work in the factory, I will send money home every month, so that our family will have meat to eat, and in the future, we will go to the city to buy a big house, we will buy a big villa, and the family will live together, okay?"
Yihui showed a wistful look on her face, a pair of clear and beautiful eyes blinked, innocently looked at everyone at the table, and said dreamily.
"Sister, what is the villa?" Yi Fei, who was just ten years old, asked curiously.
Not only Yifei, but even his father was stunned, and there was only confusion left on his originally entangled and uneasy face: "Yes, third sister, what is the villa?" ”
Meng Yihui was shocked, ah, she almost forgot that for the lonely and uneducated mountain people, the villa thing is really a new thing.
"It's the meaning of a big house, the kind with a yard, several floors up and down, with many rooms, bedrooms, balconies, kitchens, bathrooms, and home ......theaters," she thought for a moment and tried to explain the novelty as easily as she could.
And the more she explained, the more doubts everyone had.
"Third sister, how do you know this?" The second sister looked at her suspiciously, and even with a faint hint of ridicule, "Are you thinking nonsense again?" ”
"It's not cranky, second sister, I saw it in a book."
"You lie, the books you read are all left to you after I read them, why haven't I read this?" Meng Yiqiao unceremoniously exposed her lies.
"That's ......" Meng Yihui can't remember that the books she read back then turned out to be the old books left by her second sister, even if they weren't, the pitiful knowledge in the textbooks was not enough to teach them this. It is estimated that she wrote the word villa, and none of the family knew the latter word. Oh no, except for her gifted, intelligent and knowledgeable eldest sister.
Perhaps, her eldest sister Meng Yizhu should know this word.
"Okay, don't waste time, hurry up and eat well!" The worried mother didn't listen to Meng Yihui's words, but just blindly urged everyone to eat quickly.
So, Meng Yiqiao and Meng Yifei closed their mouths tightly and gulped down their food. For them, such a hard life has long become a habit, as long as they can eat a full stomach at every meal, there is nothing to find fault with.
Everyone stopped talking, and Yihui had to eat sullenly.
In my previous life, I had eaten all kinds of delicacies, Chinese and Western food, I had never tasted anything from the mountains and seas, and I had already lost my taste buds, but now I suddenly ate this light and tasteless thing, it was like returning to a primitive society.
After eating, her mother urged her father and second sister Yi Qiao to go out, and she assigned Yi Hui to wash the dishes, and she took pig food to feed the pigs in the pig pen. When everything was settled, she called Yihui to go to town with her.
"Mom, are you going to sell me?" Yihui didn't follow her mother out, but stopped at the door, looked at her mother quietly, and asked.
"What do you say, this kid!" The mother was visibly startled, but quickly calmed down, but her eyes flickered, "Where can I sell you?" I sell you, who wants it? Let's go, the sun will be more poisonous in a moment. ”
"Mom, it's only two years, as long as you raise me for another two years, I will earn a lot of money to honor you in the future." Yihui emotionally reached out and took her mother's hand, her eyes flashed with sadness, trying to impress her mother. "Give me ten years, no, five years, five years, and I'll give you six thousand dollars a month, I'm serious."
"Crazy again!" The mother ripped her hand off, then pushed her out of the door, turned around and closed the door, and locked the door buckle, "Go to the town, I'll buy you a new dress to wear, speaking of which, in addition to buying you new clothes every year during the Chinese New Year, you have never worn new clothes, and you always wear the old clothes of the eldest sister and the second sister......
Speaking of this, the mother sighed, and there was a look of amazement on her face. Yihui subconsciously glanced down at the clothes on her body, this cute round neck shirt with a bow was worn by her uncle's cousin and given to the second sister, and then the second sister wore it for a year and then passed it to her, and now there is a small hole in the waist of the clothes that has been bitten by mice.
Yi Hui suddenly had pantothenic acid in her nose, and her eyes were moist.
She knew that her family was difficult, and she originally had a younger sister below, because the family couldn't afford it, so she gave it to someone when she was three years old. It's completely free, not to mention that she can still get 6,000 yuan now, raise a pig for a year, and only earn 1,000 yuan after removing the cost, no wonder her mother can't resist such a temptation.
She lowered her head here and thought about it, her mother had already walked out of the road, and when she saw that she hadn't followed, she raised her voice and shouted: "Third sister, aren't you leaving?" I'm so busy, why are you so ignorant? ”
