Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Eve of Departure
The moon hanging high in the sky looks particularly gray tonight, as if someone has drained its original luster.
"Squeaky ......"
The sound of pushing the door sounded, and outside the house, Yun Rong walked in lightly with an oil lamp.
"Qing Dai, Qing Dai ......"
She placed the oil lamp on the table, and then the dim light walked to the side of the bed and gently pushed the person on the couch.
"Godmother?"
Yun Rong saw her sleepy-eyed appearance, and whispered, "It's not early, we should set off later."
"You...... Or you can sleep a little longer. Come with us to town next time......"
Qing Dai's brain, which was originally a little dazed, instantly came back to her senses when she heard the two words in the town.
Hurriedly sat up, rubbed his eyes and said, "No, no." I'm full, and I'm up. ”
As she spoke, she wanted to reach out and push Ah Huan, who was sleeping on one side.
"Shh......hhh......h
"Your aunt told me last night. Let's not have to wake her up......"
"But isn't Ah Huan going with us?"
"She made a lot of trouble last night, and your aunt couldn't do anything, so she could only speak first and ......"
As Yun Rong spoke, Qing Dai's mother instantly appeared in her mind.
I still remember that when I was in elementary school, everyone was all about cycling.
At that time, seeing that the friends around her had their own bicycles, Qingdai was envious in her heart.
After several begging, her mother finally promised her that as long as she was in the top three of her grade, she would sell her one.
From childhood to adulthood, Qingdai has not studied as seriously as it did at that time.
gave up all the time to watch TV and go out, got up early every day, forgot to sleep and eat, and finally reached the agreed ranking.
But in the end, her mother forcibly changed her prize for what she thought was the most suitable on the grounds that it was too dangerous to ride a bicycle.
The new prize is not too bad, it is an MP3, which is a very rare thing among classmates in terms of the situation at that time.
If she had received such a gift or prize, she would have been so happy that she couldn't sleep.
But at that time, I was not happy at all, but I only had the bicycle that was not sold home as promised after being promised, and I was worried about it for a long time.
"Godmother." Qingdai said: "This is not good. ”
"What?"
"Since you have already told Ah Huan, it is not good to regret and coax her like this."
"The child doesn't remember, your aunt is at home today, and when she wakes up, it's good to coax."
Sure enough, it's the same world and the same parent, Qingdai is a little embarrassed.
"Children also remember, we are Ah Huan's elders and relatives, we shouldn't treat her like this."
Even after many years, when she sees the bicycle, she still remembers how her own mother deceived her young mind.
The disappointment and anger of being released by the most believing person after releasing the pigeon could not be extinguished, which made her feel aggrieved to this day.
"It's a long way to go to town, I have important things to do this time, Ah Huan is young, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to take care of her......"
"I'll take care of her." Qing Dai hurriedly said: "Ah Huan has been looking forward to going to the town today since last night.
"She believes in me so much, if we sneak away, she won't believe it in the future, just let her go together, I'll just watch her."
"I'm still a child~"
"Godmother~ I can take care of Ah Huan's ......"
"Alright." Facing Shang Qingdai's pleading gaze, Yun Rong also breathed a sigh of relief: "You tell Ah Huan to get up, I'll go and talk to your eldest aunt." ”
"Thank you, godmother."
Yun Rong smiled lovingly at her, turned around and walked out of the house.
"Ah Huan, Ah Huan, wake up~"
Between the touching speed of her dressing, Qing Dai pulled the clothes she had put on her body last night, while trying to wake up Ah Huan in her sleep.
"Huan, wake up, we're going to town......"
"Go to town!" Ah Huan in his sleep, a stirring spirit sat up.
Turning his head to see that Qingdai was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
He was afraid: "Sister Qingdai, it's okay...... Good thing you're still there! I'm just dreaming.
"I dreamed that I woke up and all of you were gone and went to town, leaving me alone......"
"Dreams and reality are opposites." Qing Dai smiled and said to her, "But we're really leaving, you have to get up and get dressed quickly, and then go wash up." ”
Qing Dai was still struggling with the clothes on her body as she spoke.
She was wearing her original clothes today, and the complexity of this dress was much higher than the one Yun Rong gave her yesterday.
It took a lot of effort, studied for a long time, and struggled to sweat all over my body, and then I put on my clothes.
"Ah Huan, can you help me see, am I wearing the right clothes?"
"Yes, yes." Ah Huan nodded and said enviously: "Sister Qingdai's clothes are so beautiful." ”
"If you like it, when I make money selling paintings in the future, I'll sell them to you, and you can sell whatever you like!"
"Uh-huh." Ah Huan nodded, with irrepressible joy on his face.
He quickly got up and got off the bed, and put on his clothes neatly.
Compared with Qing Dai's clumsiness, Ah Huan's speed of dressing can be called godfast.
"Ah Huan, Qing Dai, come and wash your face." Yun Rong came in from outside with a steaming wooden basin.
"It's cold, I just went to boil some hot water for you."
"Thank you, godmother."
"Thank you, second aunt."
"I'm still hot on the fire, I'll go back to the kitchen first, and come over after you wash up."
"Got it." The two responded in unison.
Yun Rong's face was gentle, he glanced at the two of them with a smile, and turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Qing Dai and Ah Huan cleaned up and walked towards the kitchen with the oil lamp in the house.
There are no clocks here, and Indigo doesn't know how to estimate the hour.
But looking at the pitch-black sky in front of me, I guess it will be a long time before dawn.
It was a long way to get to town, and this time they had to avoid the people in the village, so they had to go earlier.
Qing Dai pondered, and the two of them had already walked to the kitchen door.
"Come in, I'll warm the porridge for you, and we'll go after you eat it in two."
Yun Rong beckoned the two of them to come in, while preparing the dry food that a few people were going to bring for lunch.
"Have you eaten it? What about godfathers? ”
"We've all eaten, and your godfather and uncle are already setting up a car at the door."
"Cars?"
Before Qing Dai could react, Ah Huan on the side said, "Second aunt, is it an ox cart?" Shall we make ox carts today? ”
"Hmm." Yun Rong nodded and said with a smile: "Your second uncle has a bad leg, and there is a lot of meat, your father went to Uncle Wu's house overnight last night to rent their ox cart." ”
"Wow, that's great!"
"Eat quickly, this ox cart is not cheap, we have to go early and return early."
Qing Dai and Ah Huan nodded hurriedly when they heard this, but they didn't dare to answer, and drank all the hot white porridge in the pot.
After the group had cleaned up, they walked towards the door together.
