Chapter 16: A Day in Cloud II
Chapter 835
Yun Er was very obedient, and after his brother left the next day, he got up, it was too cold outside, and it was still warm in the quilt, and there was a big brother boiling haode porridge in the casserole, with pork liver added to it, and a little greens, and the temperature was just right at this time.
He got into the quilt again and only exposed his upper body, took a big wooden spoon and scooped the porridge in the casserole and drank it slowly, Yun San whimpered and ran over, Yun Er dug a spoonful for it and poured it into its food bowl, seeing that Yun San began to drink porridge with a click, and he also sped up the speed of drinking porridge, otherwise Yun San would ask himself for it after drinking, as long as he saw Yun San's aggrieved eyes, Yun Er would not be able to stick to his eldest brother's words, and would always dig another spoon for it.
There was no rain today, but there was wind, and the damp air was desperately drilling into the broken windows, and the house was soon as cold as an ice cellar, not because Yunda was lazy and didn't block the windows, but because there was a fire in the house, he was worried about soot poisoning, so he didn't dare to block it at all.
Yun Er's person is very small, but he has a lot of food, and when he eats half a jar of porridge, he wants to pee, so he just got up, shivered and got back into the quilt. After several times, he finally gritted his teeth and stood up, pushed open the back window, and began to pee outside, the wind blew in through the front window, and then through the small window in the back, and by the way, his urine was also sent far away.
After urinating, he didn't want to get into the bed, Yun Da said, he must put away the futon, wrap it in oilcloth, put it in the corner of the wall, take out another set of rotten ones, and spread it at the door. He must also memorize all the books at home and write them silently in traditional Chinese.
Memorization is a small problem, but traditional Chinese characters are dying, Yun Er rarely comes into contact with traditional Chinese characters, he is not like Yun Da when he was in college deliberately studied that thing, and now he can not only write a passable brush hand, but also can recite a large number of ancient texts, especially the poem "Hanging Ancient Battlefield Text", Yun Daneng impassioned full text recited, what "blood is full of the cave of the Great Wall", what "the general died in battle, the new commander descended" sounds very charming.
Yun Da has always been a very knowledgeable person, Yun Er knows, otherwise the principal would not hand over the most important class in the school to him, now, Yun Da belongs to himself, thinking of this, Yun Er's expression is very satisfied.
Last night, Yun Da sewed two silver bills into the corner of Yun Er's clothes under the oil lamp overnight, he was worried that if he was not by Yun Er's side, he would still have silver money to live, how to exchange silver money, Yun Da explained to Yun Er three times.
Yun Er touched the two hard bumps on the corners of his clothes, and smiled even happier, the love he didn't enjoy before, now he got all of them, his clothes are a little torn, what is this, there are two patches on his buttocks, what is this, even if the previous life is better than the present, Yun Er will still unswervingly choose the present.
Yun San screamed a few times, Yun Er's brows wrinkled, every day at this time, the patriarch's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will bring mice over, as soon as they come, they will light the fire pond at home, and sometimes they will boil porridge, and they don't know how to save some use for firewood.
"Ah, you're reading, you know how to read at such a young age, and you must be a reading partner in the future."
It took Yun Er a long time to understand these local words, Cang'er is a very haode person, but his mother-in-law is very annoying, as soon as he enters the door, he began to check everywhere, and said to his mother-in-law while checking it: "Yesterday, my father-in-law ate meat in the Yun family, I don't know if there is any left, if there is, cook some for the mouse to eat, and I don't know where he got the meat." ”
Yun Er also ignored it, the family's money and meat were all put into a secret compartment by Yun Da, and this mother-in-law couldn't find it yet.
"My father-in-law said that he had finished eating, but it was really like this, and the old man didn't know how to leave a little for his grandson."
When he didn't find any meat, he skillfully dug out some rice from the jar and poured it into a clay pot to prepare porridge, and the lazy woman didn't even know how to wash it.
As soon as they came, they would kick Yun San out, and the three of them got into the quilt and waited to drink porridge, Yun Er opened the door and let Yun San who was trembling in, and the mother-in-law was just about to speak, but she found that Yun Er's dark eyes stared at her, which was not at all like the eyes that a three or four-year-old child should have, so she had to mumble a few words and stop talking.
Yun Er continued to read with Yun San leaning on the edge of the fire pit, holding a charcoal pen in his hand and constantly writing on a wooden board, and when he was finished, he wiped off the rags and continued to write. The mouse was curious and wanted to write, so Yun Er gave him the charcoal and continued to read the book himself.
Being with them is a kind of torment for Yun Er, especially when he sees the lice crawling around on the neck of the mouse, he wants to vomit, but fortunately, Yun Da was prepared early, there are two sets of bedding at home, and the set used by the brothers is resolutely not allowed to be touched by others.
It's not that he looks down on others, it's to avoid being contaminated with parasites, at least that's what Yun Da said, Yun Er has seen Yun Da burn other people's used dishes, chopsticks and crockpots with boiling water more than once, if there is still a set at home, Yun Er thinks that Yun Da will definitely throw away the set used by others. "You go out to work every day, and I have to suffer like this? I can take care of myself," Yun Er asked Yun Da more than once.
Every time Yun Da replied with the sentence that he was too young and a person was prone to danger, he never allowed Yun Er to be alone. Yun Er put down the book in his hand, looked at his chubby little hands, and fleshy little feet, and sighed as Yun Da looked, and felt sad at the thought that he could still put his feet in his mouth now, this is a sign that only children have, if his body has not become smaller, he can go out to earn money, and Yun Da will not have to work so hard.
I drank a meal of porridge at noon, which is nothing to say, even if I drank rice soup, the rice grains were all in the mouse's bowl, Yun Er felt that there was nothing to say, they were leaving, these three people came to the house, just to drink a meal of gruel, and they still had work to do in the afternoon.
Yun Er never told Yun Da about this, never said that he spent every afternoon alone, he thought it was a good thing, if Yun Da knew, maybe he would hire someone for himself to come over and watch him, he could do it.
The three mice left, Yun Er saw that they were far away, so he took a bamboo pole and pushed the quilt out of the door, and then boiled a jar of water in a small clay pot, and when the water boiled, he poured boiling water on the bamboo board where they had sit, and soon, there would be fat lice coming out of the cracks, Yun Er endured lying on the bamboo board and scalded all these lice to death, if he got into the quilt where he slept at night, it would be bad.
After cleaning all this, he washed his hands with the remaining hot water, felt very hungry, and the little rice soup he drank at noon was gone as soon as he soaked the urine, opened the dark grid, there was a bamboo basket in it, and in the basket there was a pig liver cut into pieces by Yunda, eat a piece for himself, give Yun San a piece, and then pick up the charcoal pen and start writing again. From time to time, I glanced at the mountain path, hoping to see Yunda's figure.
