At half past ten, the little three went home.

"It smells so good!" Gui Ying put down the key and turned to look around the house.

Tsai changed his shoes, went to the house to put his schoolbag, and pushed the door, heh! A pungent scent came to my face: "Oh my God! What's wrong with my house? He dropped his bag, shook his arms and pinched his nose and ran out.

"Why does it smell so good?" Gui Ying's eyebrows furrowed.

"Uncle Ma was looking for your perfume just now!" Xiaotang came out to explain.

"I sprayed it, didn't Tsai say that the house stinks?" The old horse pointed casually in the air.

"How much did you squirt?" Gui Ying covered her nose and strode to her house to find perfume.

"Close the door! Hurry up, hurry up! Zhiyuan commanded his son.

"Hey, wait, I'll go in and open the fan and the window—it's smelly!" Zhiyuan opened the door and went in, and came out with his body hunched over and covering his nose.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! My perfume! My French perfume ......" Gui Ying walked up to Lao Ma with the perfume bottle and asked, "Why did you spray so much!" My bottle of perfume is one thousand sixteen! You've ruined seven or eight hundred for me! Gui Ying was crying and screaming at home, and everyone leaned over, stared, and opened their mouths.

"I squirted a little bit! Not even two mouthfuls of water! The old horse stood up, pointed to the sky with his cane, and justifiably defended.

"Look at it! Look at it! My perfume...... Oh my God! My French perfume! Gui Ying carried the perfume bottle and showed everyone one by one. Zhiyuan, Xiaotang and Zaizai, and Yangyang Pestle were crying and laughing there.

"Are you taking revenge on me? I kicked you with a cane and you sprayed me with half a bottle of perfume! Half a bottle of perfume! Seven or eight hundred! Gui Ying was so angry that her teeth were chattering and her heart was dripping blood.

"Why are you buying something so expensive? I'm just about the same as toilet water and wind oil! At most, it's a little more expensive than active oil! So a few mouthfuls of water you spent more than a thousand - you have a problem with your brain! Rich! Big money! The old horse pointed at Gui Ying with a gloomy face.

"Ahh Don't talk about it! I'm so angry that I want to hit the wall! Gui Ying also pointed in the air, and returned to the room with a long sigh of perfume, lying on the bed in distress, and kept beating the mattress. Tsai Tsai, Yang Yang and Xiao Tang entered the house to watch the excitement with their front and back feet.

"It's okay Dad, you can rest! Yingying loves to be like this, making a fuss. Zhiyuan comforted the old horse.

"A few mouthfuls of water! Shouting is like crying! The old horse sat down angrily and fanned his fan.

"Huh...... Right, right! Right! Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, and sighed in his heart.

After a while, Lao Ma looked up and asked, "Is her perfume really that expensive?" ”

"No, no! A little more than one hundred and sixteen, Gui Ying scares you! Zhiyuan rubbed the armrests of the sofa vigorously and comforted the old man with a grin.

"She's fine! More than a hundred shouting and screaming - what a system! People who are dozens of years old don't look like mothers at all! The old horse shook his head, and the contempt accumulated over the past seventy years was all on his face.

Zhiyuan pursed his lips and looked at the empty living room, thinking that half of the perfume of Qianliu was gone all of a sudden, and there was a cool breeze between his teeth.

"You spent more than a thousand on a few mouthfuls of water - you're crazy, you!" Tsai Tsai learned from the old horse's tone and accused Gui Ying.

"Haha......" Xiaotang and Yangyang laughed happily.

"That'...... At most, it's a little more expensive than active oil! Tsai Tsai quietly imitated the movements and expressions of the old horse in the house.

"Heaven has sent a wrongdoer—a wrongdoer! I bought this perfume abroad on behalf of a customer! Pure French perfume, and bought at a special price! The original price is 3,000! Gui Ying lay on the bed with a crying voice.

"Why are you buying something so expensive? I thought it was similar to flower water...... "Tsai Zai learned again, Xiaotang smiled so much that he covered his mouth and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Oh...... I just bought it in May, it's only been two months! I said it would take a few years! I am reluctant to use it when I see ordinary customers! ! Why punish me like this! Gui Ying held Yangyang with her left hand and beat her thigh with her right hand.

"My grandfather is really not an ordinary person!" Tsai gave a thumbs up, half-truths and half-truths and sarcasm.

"It's simply the Heavenly Demon Star, the Earth Demon Star, the Living Yama, and the Hades! Oh hey, my perfume! Hey, should I wipe the perfume in the house with toilet paper and put it in my bag or coat pocket, and I can use it again! Gui Ying asked Xiaotang.

"Giggle...... I said Mom, you're too stubborn! Tsai sneered.

"Forget it, you're a bit ...... Loss, and a little cowardly! Xiaotang pouted and shook his head.

"What then? Hurry up and help me figure it out! Gui Ying cried and pleaded.

"No way! What else can I do if I spill it? Xiaotang tilted his head, helpless.

"Mom, you can wipe the floor with your brand-name clothes, so that the perfume will be attached to your clothes!"

"you! You evil beast, dare to make fun of your mother! Gui Ying kicked the boy's ass, and then glared fiercely, and Xiaotang and Yangyang laughed when they saw this.

"Hey, I just heard it through the crack in the door, guess what my grandfather said about you?"

"How?"

"My grandfather just said that you 'what kind of system' you have become! Say you don't look like a mother at all! Hahaha...... What a system! What a system! ”

"Hey...... hey" Xiaotang covered his mouth and smiled.

"Look at this man—he has made a mistake and is more righteous than I am! It's really a loose powder highlight into the coffin - to die to save face! Gui Ying spread out her hands, and then patted her left palm with the back of her right hand.

At half past eleven, Zhiyuan also came into the house, only to see four people lying on the bed.

"How do you eat lunch?" Zhiyuan asked his wife.

"Go out to eat, didn't I say to make up for your birthday? And to celebrate my daughter's first summer vacation, Xiaotang is looking for a house, Yangyang is also going to Hunan, so many reasons are not enough to go out for a meal? Gui Ying said with her chin rubbing her rippling hair.

"It's okay to eat at home, I can help with the cooking!" Xiaotang said.

"The smell in the house is too strong! This room is so pungent when the door is closed! How do you eat it? Tsai shrugged.

"Okay, go out and eat! Then I'm going to order food! Is that the restaurant you frequent? Zhiyuan asked Gui Ying.

"Hmm!"

"Okay. Then I'll tell Dad, let's go slowly first, and you guys will set off later! Dad's legs...... I have to walk for more than 20 minutes! ”

"Okay."

After speaking, two groups of people came to the restaurant one after another. Three kinds of vegetarian dishes, three kinds of meat dishes plus pork rib soup, egg custard, coconut juice, after a large table of dishes were served, everyone picked up chopsticks and ate. Suddenly, Gui Ying took out a small box from her bag, and said to Zhiyuan with her eyebrows fluttering: "Honey, a birthday gift for you!" ”

"What? Didn't you just give me a stone carving? Zhiyuan was inexplicably surprised, opened the box and saw that it was a pair of metal bookmarks in the classical style of literature and art, elegant and chic.

"What? What's that? Everyone came over and asked.

Zhiyuan took it out and showed it to everyone, and everyone passed it one by one, each holding it in his hand, looking left and right, looking up and down.

"Oh, you frogs at the bottom of the well, what's so nice about a bookmark of dozens of dollars! You don't have any books, hehebai look at the excitement! Gui Ying made fun of everyone, and then she knocked on the tea bowl and said: "Today is my husband's birthday, although it has expired, but it means to make up for a reunion dinner!" Then let Comrade He Zhiyuan, the father of the boy, say a few words. ”

Everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks in a playful way, and even the little mouths of the ripples and clicks were not moving.

He Zhiyuan scratched his head embarrassedly, sat up straight, and spoke: "That...... I don't make a wish, a wish is for young people! Uh, with this meal, first of all, I wish our dad a long life and health, and secondly, I wish our Xiaotang a new beginning and a good ending, and then Zai'er, the final exam of the first year of high school will work hard to sprint, and Yangyang, I hope she will be happy at grandma's house, uh hehe...... Don't talk about the superfluous, in the end, Yingying - wife, you have worked hard! Na...... Let's all have a drink! Zhiyuan shyly took the lead in raising the tea bowl.

"Come on, come on, cheers!" Gui Ying stretched out her arm and said proudly with a cup.

The whole family touched each other, juice and tea, and then drank happily.

After eating, Zhiyuan suddenly came to inspiration, so he proposed: "Then I have a thing, I see a long row of photos under the landscape paintings and great portraits in my father's living room, only Yingying and our children are not there, or, let's go to the photo studio to take a family photo after eating, how about it?" ”

"Yes, yes! But I'm going to change my clothes! Tsai said as he scooped up the rice.

"I'm going to change my clothes too!" The old horse bowed his head and shook the corner of his clothes.

"Then after eating, everyone will go home and change their clothes first, and then go downstairs to the photo studio to take pictures, Xiaotang will rest at noon, and Xiaotang and I will go out to find a house in the afternoon, okay?"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded and responded.

After the family of three generations and five changed their clothes, they went to the photo studio downstairs and took more than a dozen sets of simple family photos. Zhiyuan rushed to wash two sets on the spot for the old horse. The old horse came back proudly with the photo. When I came back, I lay on the bed and measured them one by one, looked at and touched them, smiled slightly or nodded consciously and satisfactorily, and did not fall asleep until two o'clock in the afternoon.

At half past three in the afternoon, two women came out to look for a house with parasols against the sun. After walking four or five kilometers around the two villages, I asked one by one about the rental offices and billboards of the peasant houses. Finally, I found a one-bedroom apartment in the old Baishilong Village, the apartment environment is average, equipped with eighty percent of the new furniture, the rent is 1,006 per month, the landlord asked for two to pay one, and Xiaotang directly paid the rent for three months.

After not going out for a long time, Xiaotang was sweating profusely and panting on the way back, the clothes on his back were wet, and he kept yelling dizziness and nausea in his mouth, and retched a few times from time to time. Gui Ying didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that her body was weak due to physical and mental injury and drowsiness, and she must be too tired from sudden overexercise, and suddenly she tensed her mind and sighed in her heart.

"Tang, you...... You...... Will you get pregnant? The two were walking in the alleyway, and Gui Ying suddenly grabbed Xiaotang's wrist.

"Huh? What the? ”

"You've been sleeping lately, and you said you slept for most of the day, and you can still sleep at night! You retched a few times just now...... I said you...... I mean...... Will you ...... Pregnant? Gui Ying's words were indifferent.

Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, his body was straight, his eyes were wide and he couldn't speak, and his nose didn't seem to be out of breath.

"Don't be nervous! Maybe I'm too tired, it's not normal that people are tired when they are hurt by love! I'll say it casually, don't take it seriously! Your look scares me! Gui Ying patted Xiaotang's back again to help her smooth out and comfort her.

Gui Ying turned around and wanted to continue walking, but Xiaotang stood still. Her menstrual period seems to have not come for a long time, and she is so busy that she forgets about it early. Bao Xiaotang was so shocked that sweat could not stop on his forehead, his frowning brows and open mouth froze in the air.

"You ...... No...... Do you feel it? Seeing her like this, Gui Ying turned around and touched her chest and asked Xiaotang.

Xiaotang was stunned, nodded blankly, speechless, and couldn't get angry.

"Don't worry, I'll make an appointment with the gynecologist now, and I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up! Maybe it's been too stressful lately, and your period has been delayed! Delayed menstruation is a common occurrence when you are older! Gui Ying stroked Xiaotang's shoulder, then took the umbrella and looked for the hospital and the appointment on the mobile phone.

"Sister Yingying, can you not tell others...... Don't tell my sister! Xiaotang's face was full of tears as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, I know that! Don't you believe me? Every woman has to go through these things, don't be too stressed, why do you have me and your sister to help you! Gui Ying looked anxious.

Gui Ying made an appointment and said, "I made an appointment at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon - the gynecology department of the second hospital." Belch...... Why don't you move today, you live in my house and be more lively! I'm in a better mood too! ”

Xiaotang shook the tears on his face: "I want to be alone for a while, if I am really pregnant, I want to think about what to do next......"

"Okay, yo...... Then let's go back, you put away your tears, don't let the children see it. The two of us will help you move in the evening, so you won't be too tired. ”

Xiaotang nodded, Gui Ying hugged Xiaotang all the way to comfort him, and Xiaotang's mood eased a little when he got home. After dinner, Zhiyuan drove the car, and the husband and wife helped Xiaotang move the daily necessities in the original house, and it took more than two hours to go back and forth, and it was almost ten o'clock when the two arrived home.

Yangyang hasn't slept yet, no one cares about playing in the house by himself, Lao Ma watches TV alone, and Zai Zai writes homework on Zhiyuan's desk. The smell of perfume in the whole house is still very strong, and Tsai Tsai's house can't breathe at all - how to sleep at night, Gui Ying is a little worried.

"Village Chief, why don't you sleep on the sofa tonight?" Gui Ying came over and talked to Lao Ma.

"What a sofa to sleep on, how comfortable to sleep on this ground! Why don't you lay a list or mattress for me, and then get a list to protect my stomach? The old horse pointed to the large empty space in the living room.

"That's a solution!" Gui Ying nodded in approval. She took the moisture-proof mat used to go to the grass at home, as well as her own yoga mat, and after laying it, she went to it by herself - hard, cool, sleeping on this ground in July, it was really comfortable, Gui Ying smiled at Zhiyuan on the sofa, and said: "Dear, otherwise our family will sleep on the floor tonight!" ”

"Yes! Let the two children experience the feeling of sleeping in the bunk! Zhiyuan looked curious.

"Oh, this sleep is very similar to the wheat field when I was a child, isn't it, village chief?"

"Hmm!" The old horse nodded.

"I'll hug a big mat again, and we'll sleep on the floor tonight!" A few minutes later, Gui Ying paved a place of more than ten square meters, called Yangyang and Zaizai, and the family sat on the ground and chatted.

"You adults are really good at playing!" The boy fluttered and lay on the ground.

"Hehe, we all slept like this in the summer when we were kids! Roll up a snakeskin bag or pull a mat to threshing on the wheat floor - the wind blows, the sky is full of stars, the surroundings are silent, and you can sleep very moist! Gui Ying lay with her head in her hands.

"Boy, go turn off the headlights! Dad, you and Tsai sleep with their feet facing east, and we sleep with our feet facing west, let's go head to head - let's chat! Zhiyuan took five pillows and commanded.

"There was no air conditioning, and you could sleep everywhere – in the yard, at the door, in the carriage...... I've slept anywhere! I really miss the old yard in the past! Oops, I haven't spent a summer in the countryside in over twenty years! When I was a child, in the summer, all the people in the village came out to sleep, and they slept with Fa Xiao, and slept with your grandmother, and they slept as much as they wanted, and they were very comfortable! Gui Ying remembered the image of thirty years ago.

"We didn't sleep like this when we were kids! The small attic in Yongzhou, one house at a time, is very suffocating! ”

"Oh, you're from the city! We are rednecks! When I was young, I told him about the galaxy between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and he was the story! When I was a child, I lay down in the wheat field, and there were often Milky Way, moon halos, morning stars, Big Dipper or something, which was beautiful. Gui Ying was intoxicated with her childhood hometown, and when she turned her head, she saw that Yang Yang had fallen asleep early.

"The moon is bright in the countryside! It's like a light bulb! The old horse lay on the ground, crossed his legs, and smiled slightly in the dark.

"Light bulbs? I'm rare! What an old thing! Tsai Zai exclaimed.

"Thirty years ago, the whole of China was using light bulbs, and they were still old! Sixty years ago, we used kerosene lamps and marquee lamps! The bulb is still old...... This kid is so funny! The old horse was smiling.

"The night sky in winter is the most beautiful, quiet and bright, just like sitting on a spaceship and watching the universe!" Gui Ying stretched out her hand to draw in the air.

"Is that an exaggeration?" Tsai Tsai questioned.

"These two babies are so pitiful! I tell you, the environment in the countryside is really beautiful, the crickets are screaming everywhere in the summer night, and a group of people are lying on the threshing field, admiring the bright moon, counting the stars, blowing the wind, listening to ghost stories—it is wonderful and lively, and after falling asleep, that pure silence is never found in the city! ”

"That's right! Well. Middle-aged and elderly people agreed.

"I remember when I was a child, there was a bush of soup flowers in our backyard, under the root of the west wall, the bush of soup flowers bloomed at night, I pulled a mat to sleep on the side of the flowers every night, dipped in the fragrance of flowers to taste the night, hey, He Yiming, I tell you, only people who were born in the countryside and love the countryside understand this taste."

"What you say is divine!" Tsai Tsai didn't believe it.

"The Yingge Valley in spring is the most beautiful! The greenery is pervasive, the wildflowers are in full bloom, and the scent of flowers and plants is everywhere! In autumn, there are a lot of wild fruits in Yingge Valley - sour dates, wild persimmons, wild grapes, and many wild vegetables, tsk! I can't remember the names of those wild plants now, let alone the tastes! When I was a child, your grandmother used to cook all kinds of wild vegetables to eat! It's beautiful! ”

"If you want to eat, ask your second brother to send you some - go to Yingge Valley to pull grass, use the fastest courier, send it today and receive it the day after tomorrow!"

"It's different! It's not the same! Gui Ying felt sad in her heart.

The smell of wild grass, wild flowers, and wild vegetables in her hometown has always been hidden deep in Gui Ying's body, and that smell can dispel the panic in her heart, but unfortunately she can't describe what kind of smell it is now, and she can no longer take out the life-saving medicine from her hometown from her body to heal herself who has been assimilated by the city.
