Chapter Eighty-Nine: Xiaochan
It's hard to say who I saw in my dreams, the feeling of the scene is a little modern, and when I wake up, it's like a pour.
The night of the Wu Dynasty, the mosquito net, the indescribable feeling, the lower body seems to be surrounded by soft water. Hazy, he heard the sound of a slight cough, it took him a long time to react, the slightly raised sheet in the dark, Xiaochan's body, and then Xiaochan half sat up, lifted the blanket, in the faint light, quite distressed and embarrassed puffing out his cheeks, with something in his mouth, and looked down in distress, as if he was about to cry. looked at Ning Yi's face again, his throat moved with difficulty, and then leaned down again.
It's in the water again......
Ning Yi closed his eyes. The people below him were cautious and moved slowly.
After a while, Xiaochan quietly came out of the thin blanket, she glanced at Ning Yi, pulled the thin blanket, and went down from the bedside.
The little maid was obviously also worried, but she didn't have a complicated complexion, she just put on her clothes at the end of the bed, buttoned them, and then quietly went out. Soon after, there was the sound of water outside the door, probably washing faces, washing hands, rinsing mouths, and crickets chirping in the grass on a quiet night. Xiaochan quietly pushed the door in, quietly closed the door, took off her shoes, undressed, went to bed, and lay back in Ning Yi's arms, with the smell of fresh water on her body.
"That's it...... It's not very good,......" Ning Yi said softly.
"Aunt, aunt......" Xiaochan shrunk her neck slightly, and her body stiffened. Ning Yi smiled: "There's no need for such a ......"
"But...... But...... This is what Xiaochan wants to do, and ...... Uncle's unwell......"
Xiaochan said softly. Ning Yi rubbed her hair: "Where did you learn this?" ”
"Before getting married, a few aunts brought pictures and said they were ...... Say yes ......"
Maybe she plucked up her courage when she did it, but she was caught with a bag, she couldn't continue after all, she turned around in Ning Yi's arms, fell asleep, and her forehead was against Ning Yi's chest, and after a long time, she heard her say: "Uncle...... Will you think Xiaochan is ignorant and say that Xiaochan is not filial? Daddy's ......"
Ning Yi laughed: "Why do you say that?" ”
"Actually...... The mother and brother and sister-in-law all thought that Xiaochan had ...... with her aunt ...... with my uncle Well, in fact, when my mother and brother and sister-in-law said that Xiaochan and my aunt were in the same room, Xiaochan was ...... And happy...... Daddy passed away, Xiaochan didn't actually feel ...... Very sad......"
When she spoke, her voice fell. Ning Yi put his arm around her shoulders and was silent for a long time.
"I can't say, but I'm happy."
"Huh?" Xiaochan blinked.
"Xiaochan entered the Su family at the age of four, right?"
"Hmm." Nod.
Xiaochan felt that the Su family was more important, felt that she was the maid of the Su family, and felt that she was ...... I don't feel well...... Although I am very happy, although for you, maybe a little unfair......"
The little girl in her arms didn't understand this, raised her head and looked at Ning Yi, and then blinked her eyes with some distress: "But...... Ben, it was supposed to be, Xiaochan was originally ...... I was supposed to do these things, and ......" she moved closer and lowered her voice slightly, "Xiaochan likes her uncle's ......"
"If you like it, it's fine."
"What did my uncle say just now......"
"Heh, it's fine." Ning Yi patted her on the shoulder, and after a while, "However, it doesn't matter if you pay attention to some things, these days...... Don't do it that way......"
"Hmm." Xiaochan nodded obediently, and passed for a while, "But what if it...... My aunt is not feeling well......"
"It's okay to endure it, your uncle is very powerful and has perseverance, otherwise how to call Ning Yi."
"But Xiaochan doesn't like her uncle to endure ......"
"If you say that there is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, and there are not many mouths"
"Oh."
Silent. Then Xiaochan's voice came out slightly.
“…… Is my uncle enduring it now? ”
"......" Ning Yi opened his eyes and exhaled wordlessly.
"Okay, I'm going to take a cold shower."
"I'll take my uncle there."
"Lie down and don't move"
"Uh......"
“…… I know where to wash it. ”
"But ......"
"Lie down and sleep"
Criticized the enthusiastic Xiaochan very harshly, Ning Yi put on his clothes and went out, and after closing the door, he pouted under the eaves: "A little test." After taking a few steps, he shrugged his shoulders again, and said to himself, "I have been afraid of who ...... so many storms and waves" and then walked very heroically to the room at the end.
After a while, he sighed, walked back somewhat wordlessly, and pushed the door into the bedroom. Xiaochan lay upright on the inside of the bed, folded her hands on her belly pocket and lower abdomen, and slept quietly with her eyes closed like a mummy. Ning Yi sighed: "Xiaochan, where is the well?" There is no water, and I have to fetch water. ”,
Xiaochan was still sleeping, her eyes closed, and after a while, her voice came out cutely: "Xiaochan is asleep"
“……”
Ning Yi was stunned for a long time, and then spread his hands, how could there be such a sad, fragrant, and funny night......
That night, under the leadership of Xiaochan, I went out to find a small stream formed by the water from the well above, and took a cold shower. Of course, it is not very reliable to say that Xiaochan's leadership is not very reliable, the master and servant came out secretly, without alarming the Geng guards and Dongzhu in the courtyard next door, and then used Xiaochan's memory to find the well, and decisively pounced.
Xiaochan didn't have much time to come back to Nanting Village, and she couldn't figure out where the well was at night, and then the master and servant looked for it slowly in the dark, and found the stream before letting Ning Yi take a bath. Because Xiaochan waited on the sidelines, she didn't have much chance to do a second catharsis, and when she got up the next morning, she felt that she might have dark circles under her eyes.
It was a blessing to be able to return to the room from there.
For Xiaochan, there may be two emotions in her personality at this time.
Peaceful, sad ...... She was sold into the Su Mansion at the age of four, and her heart had already settled down in the Su family. As for this home in Nanting Village, others said that it was her home, and the relatives of the family also sent money back every year, brought things back to see, took care of the people in the family, and called them father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law, but it may be difficult to say how much specific cognition can be.
In the past 12 years, a total of more than 10 days of time together, for this girl who is already fifteen and almost sixteen years old, it is difficult to say whether she will return to this family in the future, whether she will have thoughts such as returning to her roots. At least for now, I'm afraid there aren't many such thoughts, she already lives in the Su family, she is the maid of the Su family, she has to help the Su family do a lot of things, serve the young lady's aunt, these are the natural priorities, as for going home, when she is really free, she may ask for a leave and come back once. How much can you look forward to? It is estimated that it is similar to doing a small thing that must be done but is not urgent at all.
If her heart can be divided into two layers, the more important layer must be the Su family, and Nanting Village may just be some embellishments. Daddy passed away, and her sadness is not fake, but this sadness does not belong to the more important layer. It's as if she listened to a little story when she had something important to do, felt emotional or funny, and then ran away in a hurry.
This is the reason why Ning Yi said that it was not fair to her, but many people in this era, including Xiaochan, may take it for granted, and only he can understand how precious this feeling is when a person can think about himself wholeheartedly.
One day, if Xiaochan is old and old, and feels that life is not good, she may think of words like falling leaves and returning to her roots, and she will think of what would happen if she was with those family members at the beginning. However, as far as Ning Yi is concerned, he doesn't plan to give her such an opportunity now, such a word for a lifetime will only be a floating cloud many years later, and now, it is still easier to achieve.
Subsequently, the fourth day of the funeral......
Singing in the mourning hall, keeping the spirit every day, and simply socializing are actually a very boring thing. Due to the preparation of some gift lists, during the day, Ning Yi went to visit the neighborhood with Geng Escort and Dongzhu, and gave gifts from one family to thank them for taking care of Xiaochan's family, and then chatted and talked, he was easy and did enough etiquette, but the temperament with a sense of distance was also there, and after the visit, the other party was basically praised, Ning Yi thought that if he seduced the girl in the village or something, he was afraid that he would be nine out of ten, and he couldn't help but sigh.
“…… My sister-in-law told my brother today that the gift we sent to Aunt Mu's house was too valuable, and she also told my brother that there was no need to give such a good gift, and if you could get some of it back, it would be best to supplement the family...... But she can't tell me this, my brother loves face, and he is a little stumbling, so I pretend I don't understand......"
At night, she was still in a room with Xiaochan, and Xiaochan was lying on the bed, shaking her bare legs and slender feet to tell him what was going on.
Everyone in the village thought that Xiaochan had a relationship with Ning Yi, and Ning Yi didn't plan to clarify anything at the moment. But it's just sleeping.,Don't do much.,As for the uncomfortable or something.,I can only endure taking a bath in the room with a person.。 It feels good for the two to talk together, and at night, Ning Yi divides the bed. ,
"You sleep inside, I'll sleep outside." Then roll the blanket into a long rope and spread it in the middle, "Tell you a story." ”
"Hmm." Xiaochan moved the place where she was lying inside.
"Far away in the mountains, one day a guest came to the girl's house, a boy who looked polite and gentlemanly, and it rained this day, and asked to stay overnight. Since the girl's house only has one bed, the rivers and lakes are in an emergency and decide to sleep together. Anyway, the gentleman is frank, and the other party looks quite decent. There is a rope in the middle, and the girl said that if the rope is messed up the next day, you are a beast, not a righteous gentleman at all. The girl was very beautiful, so that night, the boy of the righteous gentleman endured and endured, and the next day he got up, ha, the rope really didn't move, and when he looked up proudly, the girl slapped and slapped him......"
"That boy is so cunning, he must have messed up at night and managed to straighten it up again."
"No, the girl scolded him: You are not as good as a beast"
Ning Yi shrugged his shoulders, and Xiaochan laughed over there.
When he got up in the early morning of the next day, Xiaochan was attached to his back like an octopus, and Ning Yi was on the side of his body, feeling that he might have flattened the girl, but Xiaochan moved and moved like a marshmallow, squeezed out from behind him, and then climbed onto his chest in a daze, and continued to sleep.
The blanket is long gone.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, the people who were supposed to visit had basically already visited the circle, and then it was two more days to wait for the coffin to be buried the next day. Also in the afternoon of this day, in Jiangning City, by the willow-colored green river bay, Nie Yunzhu, who came back from the store, looked at the old man who had set up a chess stall not far away, and stopped for a while.
She bowed respectfully, then stroked her perhaps somewhat messy sideburns, trotted over to the chess stall, and stood by the stall and talked to the old man with a smile.
The old man also stood up with a smile, and after a few words, he stretched out his hand to gesture to the other side, and then asked the little sister of the tea stall next to him for a pot of tea, and after the two sat down, in the shade of the willows, they talked about the man named Ning Liheng who was in the remote mountainous area at this time. This is a good topic, and the old and the young, who may become father and daughter, can be regarded as a real acquaintance.
Chess piece, drop the first ......
At this moment, Ning Yi was standing outside the kitchen of the big house full of dirty smells, smelling the fishy smell coming from the dishes in the cauldron, and felt a little tooth oozing. This is the best dish for everyone to eat at night, because of the meat, but, to be honest, it really doesn't suit his appetite......
He can eat this thing without changing his face and laughing, but it doesn't mean that he really likes to eat, at this time he sniffed the taste, nodded with a smile, turned to leave, and the person in front of him came over, thinking that he was very satisfied with the taste.
"He's the best cook in our village......
"Hehehehehe......"
Alas, there are still two days......
