Chapter VII
When Su Honglin woke up the next day, the black hemp tent roof and the soft breathing of her aunt reminded her that she had really returned to her childhood.
She opened her eyes and looked out through the wooden window, and saw that it was dark outside, and it was not yet dawn, only the sound of a rooster crowing in the distance, indicating that it was almost dawn. The cry of my sister in the next room came again, and she must have woken up hungry again.
Mother's nutrition can't keep up, her sister can't suck milk, she must be hungry, she still has to get something for her mother to eat, Su Honglin thought.
Su Honglin's heart is very anxious, she is so young now, and she can't do anything, so she can only ask others to help her, but now there are candidates, aunts and uncles can do it, but how to get things, she has no bottom in her heart.
Hearing the sound of her mother getting up, Su Honglin also sat up, she was ready to get up, she went to bed early now, and she usually got up early.
She sat up, and her aunt also sat up, "Honglin woke up?" Do you want to pee? ”
Su Honglin's face was full of black lines, and she forgot that she was now a child of more than three years old.
After putting on her trousers, Auntie got out of bed with Honglin in her arms, "Auntie will help you put on your pants." ”
I already wore single clothes in May, and there were no pajamas or anything like that at that time, but I usually took off my trousers to sleep when I went to bed, and these panties were all made by myself with flat feet, of course, there were many children who didn't wear underwear.
Of course, Su Honglin didn't ask her aunt to help, she dressed herself quickly, and her aunt didn't say anything, just thought she was sensible.
The aunt took her hand and walked outside, the mother was already sitting there breastfeeding the little sister, she frowned, thinking that there was not much milk, and the little sister sucked very hard.
When my aunt opened the door, she saw that it was raining lightly outside, so she picked up a basin, put a few scoops of water in the jar, and brought it in.
Su Honglin stood in front of her, and when she saw that she wrung out the towel and wanted to wash it for herself, she hurriedly took it, "Auntie, I'll wash it myself." ”
The aunt washed her face and took out a wooden comb to comb her hair, her hair was black and shiny, and there were many and long ones, and she braided a braid and threw it on the back of her head.
Su Honglin still remembers her previous life, when her aunt cut her hair and put it away neatly, and later her grandmother bought it, and she cried sadly.
Su Honglin touched himself, and he felt that it was still as good as in his previous life, and now it is also very short.
"You're all up? It's raining today. "My aunt walked in from outside, she went to sleep with her uncle at night, and Su Honglin's house had two beds.
At this time, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, and it was gray and gray, red forest.
The rain fell for a whole day, and it didn't stop until the evening, and they had to go to the grave today, and the uncle walked in from outside, "Sister-in-law, eldest sister, I'll take Honglin to it today." ”
Seeing that although the rain stopped outside, it was still wet and dewy, and then thought that the road must be very slippery, my mother nodded.
Uncle was wearing water shoes, he took the things and squatted down, "Honglin, uncle carries you." ”
Originally, Su Honglin was still a little hesitant, after all, she was not really more than three years old, and she had to be carried by people, she was a little embarrassed.
"Honglin, let my uncle carry it, and the ground slipped and fell." The aunt picked her up and put her on her uncle's back.
Su Honglin was lying on her uncle's broad back, the little tangle just now was gone, and she also remembered that the road outside was full of mud when it rained, and her pants were full of mud when she walked.
"Honglin, you have to hold on to your uncle." Uncle held something in one hand, and only one hand held her ass, so he admonished.
"Well, uncle, I know." Su Honglin hugged his neck tightly with both hands,
Walking to a small ditch, Su Honglin saw a lot of small crucian carp, she became happy, and hurriedly shouted loudly, "Uncle, uncle, you see there are fish there." ”
"On rainy days, those little fish come out of the pond to catch water." The uncle said very calmly that the little crucian carp had a lot of spines, and the countrymen rarely caught them to eat.
"Uncle, let's catch some when we come back, my sister doesn't have milk to drink, get some fish soup for my mother to drink." Although the crucian carp is not delicious, the soup is very milky, and it would be better if you could put a few sounds of tofu.
"Okay, I'll come back later, and my uncle will help you catch it." Su Haiqiang thought of his little niece's small face, and sighed deeply.
When he came back, the uncle caught a lot of small fish in the little ditch, and he ran through the mouth of the fish with grass and carried them home.
"Why are you catching such a small crucian carp?" My aunt was preparing to make rice, and when she saw her uncle carrying a stream of fish, she asked.
"Honglin said that he wanted to make some soup and milk for his sister-in-law." The uncle took out a knife from the kitchen and killed the little fish with great skill.
"Yes, it would be better if there were a few pieces of tofu." The aunt patted her head and said with a sudden realization.
The uncle looked up at the sky and didn't speak, just thinking that he would go and catch some tomorrow and come back, get a few tofu checks and come back, and the elder brother was gone, leaving only the two daughters, how could they not let them have an accident.
In the evening, my mother drank fish soup and saw Honglin looking at her, "Honglin, do you want to sing?" ”
"Mom, I don't drink it, you can only drink my sister's milk." Su Honglin shook his head and said seriously.
When my mother heard her words, her eyes were red, and she held back her tears and did not shed them.
"Haiqiang, do you want to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to deliver the goods?" Chen Wenyue asked.
"Can it be done?" Su Haiqiang asked with some hesitation.
There aren't many side hustles in these days, so it's good if you can find something.
"Ask, maybe you can go, you find that Uncle Sun, he is very good with your second brother." Chen Wenyue didn't know if she could get it, but it was better to ask than to sit at home.
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow." Su Haiqiang nodded in agreement.
"Uncle, go and take me." Su Honglin was trying to meet that person, but she only knew that there was such a person, but she didn't know it at all.
"Okay, Uncle will pick you up tomorrow." Su Haiqiang thought she wanted to play, but quickly agreed.
The next day, it didn't rain, but the sky was overcast, my uncle picked her up in the morning, the supply and marketing cooperatives were not far from Su Honglin's house, about a mile away, because it rained yesterday, there was rain in some places, and my uncle simply hugged her.
Soon they came to the supply and marketing cooperative, which was a big house, and then some shelves, on which there were those daily necessities, and there were also some snacks and pastries, and those white sugar and salt were all in bulk. Outside, there was a butcher's table, on which there was a bit of meat, but there was a lot of fat.
A saleswoman stood there selling things, and when she saw Su Honglin coming, she shouted very enthusiastically, "Honglin, you are here, come here." ”
Su Honglin had no memory of her at all, and stood there without moving.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, you don't know my sister-in-law anymore?" Su Honglin still didn't have an impression, but she should be very familiar with them when she saw her.
"Sister-in-law." Su Honglin shouted crisply, deal with her well, and ask about the price of these goods when the time comes.
"Come here, my sister-in-law will give you candy to eat." The sister-in-law gave her a candy wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with a little monkey on it.
Su Honglin held it in her hand and didn't prepare to eat it, she didn't like to eat sugar very much, and she remembered that this sugar was not delicious, it was a little astringent, but it was still very precious in this era.
"Xiaoling, where is Uncle Sun?" Uncle walked around and walked back and asked.
"He was still there just now, what did you do with him?" Su Xiaoling looked at her cousin and asked.
"Well, I'd like to ask about the delivery." Su Haiqiang didn't hide it from her.
"Then you wait, he should be here soon." The sister-in-law said.
Su Honglin looked at the shelf, they were all some daily necessities, but there were not many types, like shampooing hair, there was only one like toothpaste, called youth shampoo, and some towels, soap, and some candy.
Just as she was looking seriously, a middle-aged man walked in, and Su Haiqiang hurriedly greeted her, "Uncle Sun." ”
"Haiqiang, is your brother's affairs all right?" Seeing Su Haiqiang, his eyes were a little dazed.
"Alright." Hearing him ask about his brother, Su Haiqiang's eyes were a little red.
"By the way, your brother is gone, there is no one to deliver here, do you want to do it" Sun Zhengyi knows their Su family brothers well, and they do things well.
"Do it, I'll do it." Su Haiqiang originally asked like this, but now that he mentioned it first, how could anyone agree.
"Okay, I'll call you when it's time to get it." Uncle Sun listened and said.
Su Haiqiang nodded vigorously when he heard this.
"Honglin, are you here?" Sun Zhengyi saw that Su Honglin was looking at the shelf, and he was stunned and called her.
Su Honglin heard someone call her, turned around and saw a man in his forties, tall and thin, with shrewdness in his eyes, looking at her lovingly.
Su Honglin was stunned, she didn't know him, and saw that her uncle was looking at him with a happy face, could he be the person they were looking for.
"Uncle Sun?" Su Honglin shouted quietly.
"Honglin, come, uncle take a look at you." He looked at her with a smile, "You used to like your uncle, why haven't you seen you for a few days, don't you know each other?" ”
"Is your mom okay?" Uncle Sun asked with a sigh.
"Mom isn't very good." Su Honglin replied in a low voice.
Uncle Sun listened, and looked at her with even more pity, "Honglin will come to my uncle for something, and my uncle who can help will definitely help." ”
Hearing his words, Su Honglin was overjoyed, she would definitely ask him for help in a few days, and now she had to have a good relationship with him.
got accurate news, uncle's took her out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and Uncle Sun also gave her a few mint cakes when she left.
Su Haiqiang still remembered to catch fish, so he took Su Honglin to the small river in the village, there are generally many small ditches by the river, and there will be a lot of fish.
The environment is not so polluted, and there are more small fish and shrimp. Su Haiqiang is very good at catching fish, and soon caught another one.
"Let's go, let's go buy some pieces of tofu and go back." Su Haiqiang took her hand and said happily.
As soon as they returned to Su Honglin's door, they happened to meet the eldest aunt holding a little girl about the same age as Su Honglin, standing there, seeing Su Haiqiang holding a fish in his hand, and said happily, "Brother Qiang, where did you catch so many fish, it just so happened that there was no food at home, you take it back for me to eat." ”
