Xiao Yingzi knelt there, lit a few more pieces of yellow table paper, and watched the rising flames, with a few traces of burned paper ashes slowly rising, falling on her face and head, as if her father and mother were caressing their cheeks and heads with their hands.
"Father Gordon must not have told you that he was injured, definitely not. He was injured twice, only a week apart, the first time he was injured because I didn't go home, Gordon's father looked for me in Liuzhen all night, there was no moon that night, Gordon's father's leg was already injured, the road in Liuzhen at night was very difficult to walk, and when I saw him the next day, his whole body was bruised and bruised, if I didn't go back that morning, Gordon's father would come back to the village to look for me. ”
"Mom and Dad, don't you say I'm too ignorant?" Xiao Yingzi asked the little dirt bag with tears in her eyes.
"In the past six months, I have lived very well, Gordon's father has taken care of me very much, really, I have eaten some delicious food, he eats leftovers by himself, and buys me new clothes, and the most important thing is that Gordon's father will buy me books every month, and buy me all kinds of stationery, afraid that I will be ridiculed by my classmates at school, and give me money, so that I can buy whatever I want."
"It's really good to me, never blame me for doing anything wrong, and comfort me to let me relax, next time I will definitely do better, Guodong's father works on the construction site, but every time he comes back, he will take his clothes clean outside, and then wash the dirt on his face and hands before going home."
"Father Gordon will get up earlier than me every day, and then he will make breakfast for me before going to work on the construction site. Once, when we had a parent-teacher conference, I asked Guodong's father to go, and Guodong's father said that he was a part-time worker, and his body was not clean, so he didn't dare to go to such a good place in school, so that others would know that you have such an uncle, and others would laugh at you. ”
"Mom and Dad, I took the first place in the grade in the school exam this time, and I also sent a certificate of merit, Guodong's father must have told you, he has said it many times these days, as long as I meet someone I know, I will say it again, I am a little embarrassed, but I know that Guodong's father is happy, he is very happy, and said that he will put my award certificate in the photo frame, hang it high, so that everyone who comes to the house can see it."
"Hehe, sometimes I think Father Gordon is really like a child, and a certificate is so precious. Mom and Dad, I'm talking to you about something. Xiao Yingzi whispered softly over and over again, burning the yellow table paper over and over again, "I'm going to find a companion for Guodong's father, and it's no wonder that I feel unbearable when I see him alone, I can't delay him for a lifetime for me, and I can have one more mother, I have someone to choose now, but it's not the time to talk about this matter yet." ”
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving, it's almost dawn, I'll go back and clean up the house, and when I have time, I'll come back to see you." Xiao Yingzi lit the pile of yellow table paper at the end, kowtowed respectfully, and left. There was a breeze blowing on the small dirt slope, and Fang was telling Xiao Yingzi to live well, take care of herself, and come back often.
When Xiao Yingzi went back, Zhao Guodong had already made breakfast, Xiaoxue hadn't gotten up yet, but Aunt Mei was already sitting under the big tree yesterday.
"Why is Grandma sitting there?" Xiao Yingzi asked Zhao Guodong.
"I don't know how to do it, she woke up when I was cooking, and she was sitting in that place, and then she didn't want to move." Zhao Guodong said.
"Oh." Xiao Yingzi glanced at Aunt Mei, and then went to ask Xiaoxue to get up and eat. "Xiaoxue, get up, you won't have anything to eat if you don't get up."
Xiao Yingzi whispered in Xiao Xue's ear, "Huh? Running out of food? Xiaoxue immediately sat up, "Leave me some." She started dressing, and Xiao Yingzi was surprised by Xiaoxue's dressing speed.
"Why are you so fast?" Xiao Yingzi said.
"Eat. Otherwise, the meal will be gone. At this time, Xiaoxue had already begun to squeeze toothpaste and was ready to brush her teeth, Xiaoyingzi was completely speechless, she finally understood that Xiaoxue's mother said that Xiaoxue was the reason for the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat.
"Do you still have the habit of sleeping here?" Zhao Guodong asked Xiaoxue.
"Yes, it's good, I slept very comfortably last night, and the most important thing is that there are no mosquitoes." Xiaoxue said.
"We don't have such comfortable conditions like your house here, I'm afraid you won't get used to sleeping." Zhao Guodong.
"No, Uncle Zhao, I slept well." Xiaoxue said, "The air here is cleaner than in Liuzhen, and it is not so noisy at night, and it is the most comfortable to sleep." ”
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Guodong said.
"Gordon, Gordon is back?" The three of them were eating when they heard someone shouting and footsteps outside.
"Who?" Zhao Guodong walked out of the city and took a look, it turned out to be the village chief Zhang Dabao, who was of the same generation as Aunt Mei in terms of seniority, and his age was almost the same, so he came on crutches. "Uncle Zhang, why are you here? Come on, hurry up, sit inside, Xiao Yingzi is hurriedly preparing a pair of dishes and chopsticks. Zhao Guodong greeted while rushing up to help Village Chief Zhang.
"Oh, I saw a car driving into the village yesterday, and I knew that you were back, and I originally planned to come to see you yesterday, but I was worried that you would have to clean up the house or something, and it was delayed, no, I came today." Zhang Dabao said.
"Where can I get you here?" Zhao Guodong pulled a stool for Zhang Dabao to sit down, "We should go to see you, how can I let you come to our house, this is not my birthday." ”
"Grandpa drinks porridge." Xiaoxue took a bowl of porridge and put it in front of Zhang Dabao, and said respectfully.
"Who is this girl?" Zhang Dabao asked.
"Oh, this is Xiao Yingzi's classmate, come here to play for a few days." Zhao Guodong said.
"Oh, Xiao Yingzi's classmates, quite a good girl. Xiao Yingzi came to grandpa's place and let grandpa see, she hasn't seen what she looks like for half a year. Zhang Dabao beckoned Xiao Yingzi to come to him, and Xiao Yingzi also stood over obediently. Zhang Dabao looked up and down for a long time, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Xiao Yingzi has grown into a big girl, is there any young man who has taken a fancy to you?" ”
Zhang Dabao's amusement made Xiao Yingzi blush suddenly, and Xiao Xue also covered her mouth and snickered beside her, "Grandpa Zhang, in this case, I will ignore you." Xiao Yingzi stomped her feet, and her little face turned red.
"Hahaha, I won't tease you, let's go play." Zhang Dabao smiled very happily.
"Uncle Zhang, is there something wrong with you coming here?" Zhao Guodong asked.
"It's not a big deal. What's the matter with my old sister? Zhang Dabao asked Aunt Mei, who was sitting under the big tree, "I didn't answer her when I greeted her, she seemed to be sober, and the whole person looked like she was dumb." ”
"It was like this a few days ago, people told her that she couldn't hear it at all, and she couldn't see it when she passed by, but she could see the road, and there was no problem with eating, and sometimes she muttered in her mouth and didn't know what to say, I also looked for a doctor, and the doctor couldn't tell why, and now I don't know what a good way to do it, I know that Lu Dao is brought back to the village, maybe the situation will improve." Zhao Guodong sighed and said.
"It seems that it is much better than when I was at the beginning, and at that time I was not eating and drinking in bed. Now at least I can move on my own. Zhang Dabao also sighed, "The old sister has suffered, your kid has also suffered, the old one has become like this, the young one has not grown up yet, and you have to suffer for many years." ”
"It's nothing if I'm bitter or not, as long as Aunt Mei can be well, can die well, and Xiaoyingzi can grow up, I will be satisfied."
"By the way, I almost forgot about business." Zhang Dabao took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Guodong.
"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing here, you have to give me money when you come here, what is the reason." Zhao Guodong hurriedly stuffed the money back into Zhang Dabao's hand.
"You think this is what I gave you, where do I have the money to give you, my old man himself is not enough to spend." Zhang Dabao said, "Didn't your land and Xiaoying's land go out to others, people can't find you, so they give me the money for the land, but they give me grain, and I'm afraid that the grain will be piled up there and ruined by rats, so I will sell it to you on my own initiative, this is money, for you." ”
"Uncle Zhang, how inappropriate is this?"
"What's inappropriate, buy and sell equally, no one owes anyone, okay, I'm leaving, I have time to go to the old man's house and sit down." Zhang Dabao stood up and prepared to leave.
"Uncle Zhang, this little money, you are a little old with it, you can buy it yourself if you want to eat something." Zhao Guodong took out a few cards from the pile of money and gave them to Zhang Dabao.
As soon as Zhang Dabao saw the money handed over by Zhao Guodong, he picked up his crutches and was about to hit Zhao Guodong, "What's wrong?" Don't you dislike your Uncle Zhang? Disgusting me with this little money, isn't it? Or do you think that your Uncle Zhang hacked your kid's money? ”
"No, no, Uncle Zhang, I didn't mean that." Zhao Guodong hurriedly explained, or this old man really fights.
"So what do you mean? If it's not right, see how I clean you up. Zhang Dabao stood there, and his beard was about to stand up.
"Uncle Zhang, you have also seen it, Aunt Mei is like this, I may not have time to see you, and besides, I can't bring anything when I go, so I'll give you money, you can eat whatever you want, I really don't mean anything else."
"Boy, I understand what you mean, you have more places to use money than me, you are saying that your legs and feet are not convenient, it is not easy to make money, I am different, I am a person who buries my neck, and I am content with a little food." Zhang Dabao said.
"Uncle Zhang, you take this." Zhao Guodong took out a small cardboard box from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Dabao.
"Yo, yes, Zhilu said that your Uncle Zhang likes to take two bites, okay, I'll take this, okay, I'm leaving, you better clean up." Zhang Dabao left the courtyard on crutches.
At this time, Xiao Yingzi also cleaned up and was ready to clean up the room.
