Chapter 154: On the Road (11)
If it was to comfort Aunt Xiuping again, she might not want to respond, because she was too painful and uncomfortable.
However, Du Yao is just a lonely girl who has just lost her parents.
When Du Yao's voice appeared in Aunt Xiuping's ears, Aunt Xiuping suddenly remembered that she hadn't paid attention to Du Yao's whereabouts for a long time, and she even almost forgot about the child.
So her eyes opened suddenly, it was a pair of bloodshot and tearful eyes, Aunt Xiuping really saw that Du Yao was still wearing a thick long-sleeved sweatshirt, it was so hot during the day yesterday, they were busy for the doctor's luggage.
Didn't you even notice that Du Yao had been wearing so heavily?
Aunt Xiuping's eyes blinked dryly many times in a row, and she said, "Your clothes are all in the truck, brown cloth bags, with your name written on them." ”
As soon as she spoke, Aunt Xiuping realized that her voice was so hoarse, so hoarse and low that she could barely hear it herself.
Wei Youqi looked at his mother, and then at the young Du Yao: "I'll go and help you get it, Mom, you can rest in the car." ”
Du Yao shook his head: "No, since I know where it is, I'll just go and get it myself, thank you, Auntie." ”
Aunt Xiuping nodded, wanting to close her eyes again.
Du Yao said: "Auntie, the noodles this morning are particularly delicious, don't you want to taste them, the noodles are ordered by me." ”
In fact, she just opened the packaging bag of the noodles and handed it to Aunt Liang, and then Aunt Liang was not busy at that time, so she helped throw the noodles into the pot.
Because it is Du Yao, Aunt Xiuping has always had a kind of sympathy and pity for Du Yao, every time she sees Du Yao, she will think of such a little child, who came to this completely strange family after losing her parents.
It's not easy to think of this child, so Aunt Xiuping takes special care of her.
Aunt Xiuping had to open her eyes again: "Well, Du Yao is really good." ”
Du Yao smiled, and went to the back of the car to bring the bowl of noodles that was about to cool, "Auntie, try it." ”
Aunt Xiuping was stunned.
It turned out that the clothes were just a disguise, and the child was trying to persuade her to eat.
Aunt Xiuping's tears could no longer fall uncontrollably, Wei Youqi was a little trance to help her wipe her tears when she saw it, Aunt Xiuping shook her head, pushed Wei Youqi's hand away, and took the noodles in Du Yao's hand.
Tears dripped down the bowl in strings, but Aunt Xiuping ate the noodles and tears into her stomach.
The noodles have been left for too long, and they have dried up, and with bitter and salty tears, this is the most unpalatable bowl of noodles that Aunt Xiuping has ever tasted.
But the real pain came from within her.
Du Yao was only five years old, she witnessed the death of her father, and left her father who had not completely died with her own hands, and came to their strange family, Liang Shuyu refused to take them in.
So Du Yao kowtowed frantically outside the door like a beggar, just begging to keep her.
At that time, what should she feel like in her heart?
So, what is she?
It's worse than a six-year-old!
Aunt Xiuping's heart was painful, tangled, and pathetic, as if she was swallowing all the noodles into her stomach, and only then did she notice her precious son, who was described as emaciated, and looked at her with a pale face with caring and fearful eyes.
Xiuping put the bowl down, and the aunt held Wei Youqi's hand hard, and then held Du Yao's hand, "I'm fine, you guys go about your own thing, don't worry too much about me." ”
Du Yao said: "Auntie, it's very hot in the car, let's go outside to breathe, I heard the big brother say that it is easy to get heat stroke or catch a cold when alternating between hot and cold, so you must drink more hot water and breathe in the fresh air." ”
Aunt Xiuping nodded busily and touched Du Yao's little face with pity, "Okay, I know." Go change your clothes, look at you, your hair is sweaty. ”
Du Yao scratched her head, indeed, she was very afraid of heat.
"Uh-huh, then I'll go look for clothes, goodbye auntie, goodbye brother."
She took Chen Rui, took away the bowl and chopsticks after eating, waved at Aunt Xiuping and Wei Youqi, and the two little ones left.
Aunt Xiuping turned her head and said to Wei Youqi: "I'm fine, you go and do your own thing." ”
Wei Youqi finally relaxed a little and said: "Now that there are many of us, there are plenty of people in shifts, I don't have anything to do for the time being, so I'm here to accompany you." ”
Aunt Xiuping shook her head: "Then we can't hide in the car all the time, it's a trouble for our team." ”
Wei Youqi knew that his mother was dismissed by Du Yao and was ready to cheer up again.
I was full of feelings in my heart, so I got out of the car with Aunt Xiuping.
Everyone over there finished eating, and Liang Ying and Teacher Ding were cleaning up the pots and pans they had eaten.
In the past, when it rained, they had countless amounts of waste water that could be used to wash clothes and dishes.
Now that the sun is shining, water is extremely precious, so they have to clean up the dishes in the most economical way.
Although there are many disposable utensils at home, those that need to be kept for the most critical periods of need, so consumables will not be used lightly when conditions are available.
Liang Ying and Teacher Ding suddenly saw Aunt Xiuping and Wei Youqi coming over, Liang Ying hurriedly stood up and held Xiuping's wrist, "Why don't you rest in the car." ”
Aunt Xiuping looked at her: "Come down and blow the wind, and I'm the kitchen leader." ”
After Aunt Xiuping finished speaking, she wanted to squat down to help wash the dishes.
Teacher Ding hurriedly said: "I can't help it, Sister Zhang, you better go and rest, Sister Liang and I can handle it here." ”
Liang Ying took the handkerchief in Teacher Ding's hand and said to Teacher Ding: "It's okay, let her come, Teacher Ding, you go to rest, leave it to us here." ”
Teacher Ding wanted to insist, but she thought that Liang Ying and Aunt Xiuping knew each other very well, so she must have a good intention to do so, so she accepted it and left to the side.
Liang Ying and Aunt Xiuping squatted down together to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Instead of washing here with a basin of water like a normal home, you can use a hot towel dipped in a very small amount of dish soap, wipe the bowl once, and then wipe it twice with a clean wet towel, which is the lowest water consumption and the cleanest way to wash.
Because of this, each of them eats as little as possible to make the bowl greasy.
Aunt Xiuping moved very slowly, like a person who had been frozen.
But Liang Ying also slowed down her movements and accompanied her, not talking, not chatting, just listening to the sound of the towel rubbing against the bowl, letting the time pass quietly here.
And Wei Youqi also squatted aside, silently accompanying the two.
After cleaning up all the dishes and putting them in the corresponding basins to cover them, Wei Youqi carried them back to the car.
Liang Ying stepped aside and took out a small bowl of half-filled soup with seven or eight noodles floating in it from a large covered bowl.
"I kept a small half bowl." Liang Ying said.
Aunt Xiuping knew her intentions at once, and the emotions that had just been relieved came up again, but she was pinched by Liang Ying holding her hand, "Let's go." ”
Liang Ying dragged Aunt Xiuping to the back of the taxi, where Wei Fatzi was still parked.
Liang Ying put half a bowl of noodle soup in front of Wei Fatzi's spirit, set the chopsticks, and said jokingly: "I still left half a bowl for you, don't say it's too little." ”
Aunt Xiuping smiled.
Wei Fat Man may have eaten, but if he didn't go out to work, he had to eat two bowls of dry rice at home, at that time, Liang Shuyu and they often went out, and when they came back, they only ate one bowl at most, but Wei Fatzi, who didn't work, had to eat two bowls.
Aunt Xiuping was nagged for a while.
