Chapter 222: Make a Wish
I carefully took out the unsealed envelope from the drawer of the charge, looked out, bent over again, got off the kang, and closed the door of the inner room. Then I climbed onto the kang and opened the unsealed letter with my still trembling hand.
The light in the house is good, although there are some ice flowers on the windows, and a few flowers are cut into window flowers with red paper, but it still does not affect the light in the house. I unfolded the letter and read it carefully.
"Brother Quanbao: I won't come back this time. I know you're good to me, but the child needs me, and his dad can't take the child himself,,,"
I took a general look, isn't this Aunt Jia not coming back! But why did Uncle Quan Bao wait for her on the side of the road?
I couldn't wait to take a look at the payment, it was February 3rd, and this letter should have been written four days ago! It seems that Aunt Jia wrote this letter to Uncle Quan Bao before leaving, but Uncle Quan Bao didn't see it.
After reading the letter, I began to hesitate again, is this news for Uncle Quan Bao! Let him see it, isn't it a good year to live! I thought about it and decided to keep this letter for him, at least not for now, and wait until the New Year!
Once I had made up my mind, I pulled out the drawer with the charge again, and put the letter under the drawer, and then pushed the drawer in again. I guess that's fine, I can do it at some casual point after the Chinese New Year. Suddenly, I found this letter under the drawer! I was impressed by my cleverness.
When I had done all this, I went back to the kang head and lay prone on the somewhat hot kang. Don't say it, this kang is really good, although it is a little hot, but it is very comfortable!
"Dunzi! Is it better? Did you find your medicine? Uncle Quan Bao walked in from outside with a chill.
"I've taken medicine, and now I'm burning my stomach, but I don't have any energy!" I replied.
"Don't you take the wrong medicine? It's an enteritis spirit film! Let me see. Liu Quanbao said and wanted to open the drawer.
"Aren't you burying people? I'm in junior high school anyway, so I don't know those words? "I'm a little weak-hearted, I'm afraid that Uncle Quan Bao will see the flaw and find the letter that I want to hide.
"How can I not believe you, your father and mother are quite knowledgeable, you must not be bad!
I've been freezing for the past two days, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable, so you let me take two bags of powder and drink! ”
"Yes, I'll get it for you, the cold on your body is too big, don't come near me!" I slumped over to the top of the kang and pulled open the drawer at the bottom of the kang cabinet.
"Here you go, this stomach ache powder, is two bags enough?"
"Enough is enough, this thing works, I drank this medicine two days ago to get better." Uncle Quan Bao muttered that he had taken the medicine and went to find boiling water. "This water is not enough, let's boil another pot!
When Uncle Quan Bao came in with another pot of boiling water, my stomach basically didn't hurt anymore.
"Uncle Quanbao, how did you get your stomach? I remember you didn't have stomach problems before, did you? I remember my aunt left because of a stomach problem, right? "I originally cared about Uncle Quanbao, but I didn't expect to talk about Liu Quanbao's sore spot and his worries.
"You are right, it is the early and late years of growing vegetables and delivering vegetables. In the past few years since you left, your Aunt Jia and I have also set up a plastic greenhouse, and my stomach ache may be caused by being in the greenhouse for a long time. Liu Quanbao said.
"Why do you have to work so hard, you make a lot of money by delivering food a month!" I don't understand it.
"It's not that I'm greedy for money, the key is your Aunt Jia. Although her husband won the lawsuit, he got his husband's salary back. But in prison, her husband's health was lost, and he spent a lot of money when he came back for treatment. ”
"Then you don't need to give them money to spend! You can't marry the guy surnamed Jia, even his husband and children have to be brought over! "I don't understand it anymore.
"Tie Dan'er wants to follow your Aunt Jia, but he doesn't have anyone to take care of him. Besides, Tie Dan'er is going to school now, so he can't do it if he doesn't have money! Uncle Quan Bao said leisurely.
"That's it, you shouldn't be asked to give money to their father and son!"
"I know this, I didn't give you Aunt Jia's money, and all that money was earned by your Aunt Jia herself. I just helped her a little. Liu Quanbao still protected Xiao Jia.
"Pull it down! I don't know you yet, but you're usually willing to help others, let alone Aunt Jia. I interrupted Liu Quanbao.
"Yes, Xiao Jia is all my people, what else do I have to worry about with others! Besides, your Aunt Jia didn't ask me for anything, as long as her man and child could have something to eat, she would live with me, and said that she wanted to give me a child! Liu Quanbao couldn't hide his longing and joy.
"Well, maybe, but I think Aunt Jia is better with her husband!" I said this entirely because I wanted Liu Quanbao to be less upset when he learned about Aunt Jia's departure after the New Year.
"I'm not alone! She agreed to be with me like this. At that time, I asked her to come with her man to follow me to do this vegetable business, but her man was unwilling, saying that he was a little sorry for me, and you said that he was also a man with affection and righteousness. ”
"Uncle Quanbao, you can't say that! I'm not very old, but I think about husband and wife! It's not like you say.
Let's just talk about my mom and dad! They won't be like you think. ”
"They are the original couple, I am widowed, and your Aunt Jia and I are also married for the second time. Can it be the same as your parents and your parents? Liu Quanbao and I got into a fight.
"Alright! You're right. Are you still waiting for her? "I had to change the subject.
"What am I going to do when you're here! This woman can't always get used to her! ”
"Oh yo, look at what you can do! When my stomach is better, I'll take a substitute shift with you! Let's see who's lucky enough to get someone back. I tried to turn around and said.
"I don't dare to use you, I'm so happy that you're back this year, she'll come back if she can, and pull her down if she doesn't come back!" I know that Liu Quanbao said it uncomfortably.
"Uncle Quanbao, I think, you should make a wish in the Dripping Water View about this, maybe you can achieve your wish!"
"You can think about what you said, this is the New Year, don't say that you should really transfer it!" Uncle Quan Bao is still up with his heart!
"We'll go tomorrow, tomorrow will be twenty-nine, if we don't go tomorrow, we'll have to wait until the new year." Actually, I want to go to the dripping water to watch, and I haven't been able to do it lately.
"Okay! As soon as you come back, I have something to do, otherwise, I'll still be drinking at home alone! Okay, let's go tomorrow. "Uncle Quan Bao is here to spirit.
"What if you miss it? Aunt Jia came back alone and you weren't at home, so didn't she complain about us? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, let's take her with us when we make a wish. In the future, if it really works, let her repay her own wish! Liu Quanbao still thinks about Aunt Jia.
In the afternoon, Uncle Quan Bao once couldn't help but go out and wait for more than an hour, and when he came back, he drank two more bags of stomach ache powder.
In the evening, Uncle Quan Bao stewed a chicken for me, and we also drank some liquor. Uncle Quan Bao had a bad stomach, I didn't dare to drink more with him, and I only drank three taels of white wine.
"Uncle Quanbao, I'll go back to my old house in a while, I want to burn the kang."
"I didn't go to your house every half a month to burn your kang. I'm thinking about going back again in half a day! There are wood and coal in your yard, so you don't need me to go there if you go. ”
I believe that what Uncle Quan Bao said is true, because he used to show Guo Deguang's family the house like this. This time, there is my family's old house, and Uncle Quan Bao may be even busier.
I took advantage of the wine and went back to my old house. It's cold when no one lives in this house! I couldn't wait to light the chopping timber and find some coal to press on the chopping timber. Fortunately, the chimney was not bad, and with the crackling sound of the wood, the temperature also rose.
I went into the back room, took out the quilts that were in the closet, and spread them on the kang. That's how my mom used to deal with bedding that wasn't used a lot.
After drinking, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. After taking off my shoes and getting on the kang, I began to punch on these soft futons. After this toss, I sweated. I sat down and started to breathe again, and I put my hand on my stomach and rubbed it clockwise, feeling more relaxed.
I didn't sleep in the old house that night, and when I saw that the bedding was getting a little warmer, I put them back in their place. When I returned to Uncle Quanbao's house, I found that Uncle Quanbao had fallen asleep.
………………
"Dunzi, get up and have breakfast. Didn't you say that today we went to the Dripping Water Temple, burned incense and made a wish? Uncle Quan Bao took some heated sticky spoons, twist flowers, and a few fritters.
In winter, especially before the Chinese New Year, every family here will fry fried fritters, twist flowers, glutinous rice balls, sticky fire spoons and other foods. When you want to eat it, just take some out and steam it anew. Although the taste is a little soft, it is convenient!
After we had eaten, we began to set off in the direction of the Dripping Water Temple. After passing the road, there is still a section of mountain road to be made, and the road is still very slippery due to the snow. There were almost no footprints on the way, which means that no one had driven here before we came.
At a fork in the road near Dishuiguan, I found a lot of footprints going back and forth from another road. If we don't want to be here, it seems that there were some people who were here before we came.
"Dunzi, hurry up and go, what are you doing there?"
Uncle Quan Bao saw that I didn't follow, so he shouted at me.
