Chapter 23 Funeral

"Sanya? Sanya? Outside the house, Tian's mother's voice suddenly sounded.

Tian Ruyue was a spirit, and she hid cats everywhere in a panic, but there was no place to hide on the four walls of the family.

Carrying it into his arms, the cat boy was unwilling, and ran out vigorously.

After thinking about it, I could only put it on the earthen kang in the end, let it continue to lick the hair on its body, and quickly go to the hall to open the door barefoot.

Outside the door stood Tian Mu, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, holding a straw mat under her left arm, and handing over a few baked potatoes in her right hand.

Tian Ruyue saw that the eater stretched out her hand to take it, but she ate it in small bites.

Tian's mother looked at her completely different eating appearance, remembered her mother-in-law Qian's words, and suddenly burst into tears.

Tian Ruyue was accustomed to Tian's mother's setting of shedding tears at every turn, and she didn't care at all, thinking that she was sad again.

Tian Mu wiped away her tears directly with her sleeve, and suddenly found that she was barefoot, and looked up and asked in surprise: "Where are your shoes?" ”

Tian Ruyue hurriedly took the time to stretch out her hand and pointed to the sewage that overflowed the ground: "Put it on the kang so as not to get dirty." Suddenly, I heard a movement from the roof, and subconsciously looked up.

Tian's mother also looked up at the roof and explained: "Your eldest brother is also here, and he is laying straw to repair the roof." ”

It was raining heavily outside the house, and it was raining lightly inside the house, and it was not a place for people to live at all.

But the mother-in-law was vicious and didn't treat the girl as a human being at all, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, the more tears she wiped, and she suddenly cried.

Tian Ruyue was taken aback, why did she cry like this?

Tian's mother suddenly hugged her: "My Sanya, my miserable Sanya!" ”

Tian Ruyue wanted to push her away, but listening to her crying, she slowly retracted her hand.

"Aim~, aim~~." Suddenly there was a black boy's cry in the house.

Tian Ruyue's body suddenly stiffened, and she quickly explained: "This house has been inhabited for a long time, and there are a lot of mice, so I caught a stray cat and came back to raise it." ”

Tian Mu sobbed and asked, "...... You don't have anything to eat yourself and you still have a cat? ”

Tian Ruyue straightened her waist and was confident: "It catches mice and eats them by itself, so I don't need to raise them." "Modern houses don't have rats at all, and the black boy eats cat food and cat litter, so he doesn't need to catch mice.

Traveled here...... It shouldn't forget its instincts, right?

Tian's mother was silent for a while, and muttered to herself: "Sanya also had a cat when she was young. ”

The rain was too loud, Tian Ruyue didn't hear it and subconsciously asked, "Mother, what did you say?" ”

Tian Mu looked at her, with tears on her face but a smile: "You can raise it if you want, and remember to close the door when you go to bed at night." She put away her oil-paper umbrella and walked straight inside, ready to make her bed.

When she saw the black cat on the pit, she was shocked: "How do you raise a black cat?!" Looking at the black cat's amber eyes, he trembled with fright: "This cat's eyes are so scary, you quickly throw it away!" ”

Tian Ruyue saw that Tian's mother was trembling with fright, and remembered that the robber was afraid of the black cat, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Mother, this black cat is very well-behaved, I don't believe you." ”

Walked to the earthen kang and picked up the black cat and kneaded it for a while.

The black boy lay on her lap and exposed her belly and made a purring sound.

Tian Mu looked at the well-behaved appearance of the black cat, and couldn't help but stepped forward to take a closer look, but insisted on her opinion: "No, everyone says that the black cat is ominous, and if you see the black cat, you will die, you can't raise it and lose it quickly!" ”

Tian Ruyue took the black boy into her arms, and looked at Tian's mother's eyes with an abnormal insistence: "I must raise it!" If you lose it or hurt it while I'm away, I'll bury it!" ”

Tian Mu's eyes widened in shock: "...... When you were younger, you also said this sentence. ”

Tian Ruyue: Hmm?!!!

Tian's mother glanced at her deeply, and suddenly sighed: "You really want to raise it, but if others see gossiping, causing the fat girls to not play with you, don't be sad then." ”

Fat girl should be talking about fat girl, right? Tian Ruyue nodded with a serious face and promised: "I won't be sad." In her heart, no one can compare to the cat boy who saved her life and accompanied her for two years.

Tian Mu saw that she still insisted on not saying anything.

The straw mat that had been clipped under her arm was put on the clay kang to help her make the bed, when she saw a rag on it.

Frowning, she turned her head to stare at the hem of her dress that was missing.

Tian Ruyue followed her gaze and looked at the hem of her missing piece of cloth, and was about to explain, but Tian's mother withdrew her gaze again, picked up the rag and put it in the corner casually, and spread out the straw mat.

Tian Ruyue found that there were still a few old clothes and a pair of brand-new gray cloth shoes hidden in the shabby straw mat.

Tian Mu sat on the straw mat and explained while folding her clothes: "These are brought by Ruhua, all for you, and the shoes are also taken by her on a regular basis." In the past, Ruhua loved you the most, but now that she is married, the most painful thing is still you. ”

Tian Ruyue looked at those old clothes without any patches, I don't know how many times better than the clothes on her body, and suddenly said the truth: "The second sister gave me a few pennies before leaving." With that, he took out the five cents from his belt.

Tian Mu stared directly at the copper plate in her hand: "Your second sister will give it to you, and you will take it." ”

Tian Ruyue could take out the copper plate, but it was impossible to take it back, and sent it forward and stuffed it into Tian's mother's hand: "Mother, I don't need you to keep it, don't show it to grandmother." She didn't have anywhere to spend the dozens of dollars she got from the two dead people, and she couldn't care about them.

Tian's mother clenched the few pennies in her hand but didn't dare to look at her eyes, but stared at the ground and said to herself: "My Sanya is the most sensible." ”

Tian Ruyue noticed her abnormality, frowned slightly but didn't ask anything, but changed the topic: "Mother, is there any extra pot at home?" When the rain stops tomorrow, I want to go to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables or something, and come back and cook them. "I heard that after the rain, there are lichens, mushrooms and the like, and there are no condiments for cooking soup, so it's called a fresh!

Tian Mu frowned and objected: "There are wolves on the mountain, you can't go." Tomorrow your grandmother is gone, and I will ask Xiang'er to bring you food. ”

Tian Ruyue didn't make a sound.

People like Tian's mother, who follow her father at home, marry her husband, and regard her husband as her son as the heavens, will never be able to understand her true thoughts.

If you can't communicate, forget it.

There was movement on the roof again, and a shout from Tian Duofu came from his ears: "Mother, Sanya, do you see if the room is still leaking?" Don't leak me down. ”

Tian Mu observed it carefully before replying: "Don't miss it, you can come down." ”

Tian Ruyue walked quickly to the door with the cat in her arms, watched Tian Duofu, who was drenched like a chicken in soup, climb down from the roof, and hurriedly beckoned him into the house.

Seeing that he reached out to wipe the rain off his face, he couldn't pass a towel over.

Tian Duofu saw the black cat napping in her arms, and a smile of memory appeared on his face: "Where did you pick up the black cat?" I remember that when you were young, you liked cats very much, and you often slept with cats when you slept at night, but you were disgusted by Xiang'er.

Grandmother refused to let you raise it and threatened to kill the cat, but you cried and said that you would bury the cat.

Then the cat died, and you cried for days without eating. ”

Tian Ruyue was a little surprised when she heard this.

She didn't expect the original owner to like cats as much as she did.

Is it because of this that I wore it on her?
