Chapter Thirty-Six: Much Like a Man
Yu Songyuan said: "Ordinary dogs don't like people to touch their heads. Because the dog can't see the top of its head, touching its head will cause pressure, so it is very vulnerable to its attacks. But the general is different, it can know that it is a comrade who touches it, you touch its head, it can understand your friend haode said, it will be happy to be close to you. ”
Seeing that she was still very skeptical, Yu Songyuan said again, "What I said is true. It likes to be touched on its neck and back the most, and when you reward it, you touch its neck and it will be happy. You can try to touch it now. ”
She did tentatively touch its head and neck. The Admiral immediately raised his tail in the air with joy and swayed from side to side, jumping and spinning around her.
Yu Songyuan said: "You are not afraid of it now." It understands human speech perfectly, it just can't speak. You try again, whatever you want it to do. ”
She said, "General, sit down." The general immediately sat down, tilted his head, and looked at her mischievously.
"General, don't tilt your head!" The general immediately held his head high.
She said, "General, jump!" The general immediately jumped into the air, and then sat down again.
She said, "General, run!" The general quickly rushed out like an arrow, but soon pricked up two big ears, turned around and looked at her blankly, and then looked at Yu Songyuan.
Yu Songyuan said: "There is a problem with this password, and it is protesting. Lin Xue looked at him puzzled, and Yu Songyuan said, "It's asking you, just let me run, where did I go?" ”
Lin Xue suddenly realized and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this is not to blame the general." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the general ran to her and sat down, tilting his head, his eyes still looking at her mischievously, as if to say, "Look, it's your fault, don't blame me." ”
Lin Xue was so amused by it that she clapped her little hands and giggled, and her happy nature returned to the little girl's face. Obviously, the fear of dogs finally disappeared slowly, which made Yu Songyuan feel relieved and bitter in his heart.
In order to let her abandon the horror of this so-called "haunted house", he told her the legendary story of the general who sacrificed his life to fight the python, she listened with wide eyes, and forgot the clothes in her hands, "Brother Yu, you can't make it up, right?" ”
Yu Songyuan said: "It's true. One day I will take you to that place to see, and you will believe it. ”
Lin Xue began to get along with Yu Songyuan and the general, and the sense of distance was slowly disappearing. After playing with the general for a while, he began to sit next to Yu Songyuan and wash clothes.
This was the first time Yu Songyuan had looked at her closely. Before this, although it was also close contact, I never had time to observe her, nor did I see her full face. He saw that the girl had a yellow face and thin muscles, a thin body, and obvious lack of nutrition.
But she has delicate facial features and delicate skin. Although the clothes are shabby, they are all over the body and are clean. The ponytail on the head is even more playful and cute. Moreover, the character is still very strong and assertive. The more she looks, the more she looks like a person, too similar, her appearance, speech, movements, and temperament are all similar.
Yu Songyuan was a little surprised, oh my God, this is really amazing.
"Brother Yu, why are you staring at me? Am I wrong? She was a little flustered and brushed her hair with her hands.
God, even the action of haircuts is exactly the same, the Creator is amazing. Yu Song saw her asking, so he had to tell the truth, "Little one, you are very much like a person." ”
"Who?"
"My aunt."
"How so? I'm less than fifteen years old. ”
After washing her own clothes, she took Yu Songyuan's basin again and said: "Brother Yu, you can't wash your clothes, and you pay for soap powder, I will wash your clothes for you in the future, you study hard." ”
Yu Songyuan looked at her pure, innocent gaze, knowing that her young, closed heart had shone into a ray of sunshine, so he shook the water in his hand and said, "Okay, little girl, thank you first." ”
Lin Xue said dissatisfiedly: "My name is Lin Xue, don't call me a girl, I hate others calling me a little girl the most." Just because I'm a girl, Da and my mother didn't like me since I was a child. ”
Yu Songyuan hurriedly said: "Okay, Comrade Lin Xue, it's hard for you." He asked her without words, "You are a regular worker in a school-run factory, don't you have a special dormitory?" ”
Lin Xue's eyes turned red again, "I entered the factory instead of Dada, and there is no place for the female workers' dormitory." The factory approached the school office, and the school office said that there was only a vacant house here, so I would live here first, and then move there when I was transferred out of the dormitory. ”
Yu Songyuan asked again: "How old are you?" How not to go to school? ”
Lin Xue said: "I will be fifteen years old in the Chinese New Year, and my health is very bad, so I have to retire early. My family is poor, and I have two younger brothers in school, so I went to work before I finished junior high school. Touching the general sitting beside her, he said: "Actually, you don't know, I studied well, and I basically finished studying the textbook of the first year of high school by myself in the second year of junior high school." I don't believe you're testing me. ”
Yu Songyuan really asked a few first-year high school questions, and she answered them all fluently. This made Yu Songyuan feel very relieved in his heart, this is a strong, smart girl, and at the same time, she really trusts him and the general.
"You have such a strong learning ability, you can study and go to university on your own."
"Where it's so easy, it's fate. I am the eldest in our family, and I have to earn money to pay for my two younger brothers to go to school. But in the future, I will study university courses on the job, such as the University of Electrical Engineering, self-study exams, etc. ”
Yu Songyuan was speechless, and he was a poor worm like himself. Lin Xue was washing clothes, and when she saw that he was deep in thought, she asked him to go back to the dormitory to review. Yu Songyuan walked into the room, took the ancient Chinese review materials used by Qin Hong and began to review.
While Lin Xue was washing clothes, she and the general were crazy together. It's really the nature of a little girl, and she was so scared just now that she almost cried, and this will be frolicking again. After a while, the general lazily walked in, lay at his feet and took a nap. Outside, from time to time, there was the sound of Lin Xue coming in and out, busy.
On weekends, the school cafeteria generally does not steam boxed lunches for students, and the morning passes quickly, and lunch time arrives. Yu Songyuan took out the dry and cold pancakes and salt-fried soybeans, poured boiling water into the lunch box, and prepared to start the meal. The general also brought his own rice bowl over, and Yu Songyuan also poured some boiling water for it.
At this moment, Lin Xue knocked on the door and walked in with a ponytail, which was also the first time she walked into Yu Songyuan's room. She patted the general on the head, and the general circled her happily, biting the corner of her pants and inviting her to lunch. Yu Songyuan also sent out an invitation and said, "Let's eat together?" ”
Lin Xue plucked up the courage to say to him a little shyly: "Brother Yu, xiexie, you take care of me, I want to invite you to dinner at noon." ”
"You invite me? Dine? Yu Songyuan was curious.
She said earnestly and proudly: "Yes, as long as you don't laugh." ”
"Okay, someone please eat, more haode things. I certainly don't laugh. Yu Songyuan said.
He followed Lin Xue to the kitchen, only to see that the place had been thoroughly cleaned, the pots and pans had been cleaned, the dilapidated doors and windows were tightly pasted with old newspapers, and a large pot of fried robe was on the table, and the two pots were steaming. Yu Songyuan opened the lid of the pot and saw that the dry rice was cooked in the big pot with barley picks and dried yams, and in the small pot was cabbage soup.
Yu Songyuan looked at her with appreciation, she was really a poor man's child, and she would definitely be a good housekeeper in the future. I was not a blessing in disguise, picking up a stone, and suddenly it became a treasure.
Lin Xue said excitedly: "In the future, the school will not open for dinner, so we will eat here." There are too many treasures here, wow, which ridge is full of cabbage and big rodishes, under each ridge, densely arranged, a lot. ”
"Where's the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, you bought it?" Yu Songyuan asked.
"No, the day before yesterday, I passed by the teacher's dormitory, and two teachers and aunts forced it into me."
Yu Songyuan was really hungry, and he didn't care about getting to the bottom of it. The three of them sat around the table, Yu Songyuan sat opposite the girl, and the general sat on the side, like a decent family of three, eating happily.
It was so hearty that the general also opened his belly, and after eating in the basin in front of him, he raised his head and looked at Yu Songyuan quietly for a while, and then at the girl. It means, "Two, can you not patronize yourself?" The two of them immediately laughed and started to add another pot to it.
After eating, Yu Songyuan patted his belly and said, "It's delicious, it's so delicious." ”
Lin Xue asked nervously, "Really?" Don't lie to me. ”
Yu Songyuan said: "It's delicious. However, let's make a division of labor, and in the future, the stealing of vegetables will belong to me, and the cooking will belong to you. You're a girl, it's not beautiful to be caught by school. ”
Lin Xue nodded happily and said, "When I passed by the teacher's dormitory that day, two aunts stopped me and gave me some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and a bottle of noodle sauce. They said that the Chinese cabbage and radish buried in the school vegetable field could not be eaten every year, and they would rot and throw away when it was hot. Teachers eat these dishes from the ground, and when you don't have a place to eat on the weekend, you quietly dig out some vegetables and cook them yourself, so that the school doesn't know. ”
Yu Songyuan's nose was sour, and he didn't feel emotional, there are still many good people in the world. He asked her again, "Do you usually eat in the faculty cafeteria?" ”
She said: "According to the regulations, I should buy food in the cafeteria, but I don't have any money, so I usually steam lunch boxes with students. I brought a lot of dried radish from home, which I salted in my hometown, but it was delicious, and you can try it next time you eat. As he spoke, his face beamed with pride.
Yu Songyuan suddenly wanted to make the girl happy, just like his sister Yu Ya, Yu Xiaohui and Chen Jing, or Yu Xiaohong, Yu Xiaomei and Yu Xiaoyin's three little nieces, so he said: "You invite me for lunch, and I will invite you for a very meaningful bonfire picnic for dinner, which you will remember for a lifetime?" ”
Lin Xue was a child in the end, and her interest immediately came up, "How about a bonfire picnic, we don't have anything, do it here, and then light a bonfire to eat outside?" ”
Yu Songyuan said: "Keep it secret for the time being, act now, and I will give you a big surprise later." ”
As soon as he said it, Yu Songyuan took a shovel, a hook, a fishing line, a fish rod, and a small lunch box, which contained salt, condiments, and two spoons of lard. The general was in high spirits, eager to try, and kept jumping. Lin Xue was also infected, shaking her ponytail and playing excitedly with the general.
Yu Songyuan was about to lead everyone to set off, but when he saw that her cotton clothes were thin and her head was bareheaded, he returned to the dormitory and took out a wide gray woolen scarf. The scarf was very thick and long, wrapped around Lin Xue's head, and then wrapped around her neck twice, and there was still a large section left on her chest.
Lin Xue motionless let him surround him, and was soon surrounded into a doll, warming his body and heart.
Yu Songyuan turned around and looked, "One more pair of gloves will be alive, but unfortunately not for the time being." That way, you won't get cold when you put your hands in your pockets. He shouted to the general who was having a good time: "General, go hunting with me!" As he spoke, he picked up the guy and led everyone to set off.
On the way, Lin Xue asked, "What does it call you?" Master? ”
"Yes, we've always been husband and wife. By the way, what should it call you? Let's call it a little milk or a little aunt. ”
"You hate it, it's messy, it's so ugly."
"Why don't you call your sister?"
"No, that generation is a generation shorter than you. Call it Auntie, yes, it'll be called Aunt in the future. The general glanced back, and continued to run ahead. It seems that I want to say, I can't speak, whatever you want, anyway, you have the final say.
