Chapter 16: Simple Happiness
Retracting his distant thoughts, he slapped the wooden door with both hands quietly, and shouted loudly: "Little guys, I'm back, come and open the door!" ”
Hearing the sound, the three children pushed open the door and ran out, Anxin said with a crying voice: "Sister, why did you come back?" I'm scared to death. She was really worried, the eldest sister and a girl hadn't come back so late, and she couldn't get out, and the anxiety in her heart tortured her to restlessness.
"My good sister, don't say so much, quickly help the eldest sister in, the eldest sister is thirsty and hungry now, and she has no strength in her body." Quietly leaned against the door frame, and said weakly to the second sister.
Anxin saw that the eldest sister was leaning against the door frame with a pale face, her legs trembling, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help Quiet and walk into the house. Anxin touched her sister's sweaty cold clothes, felt her trembling all over her body, Anxin's tears of Anxin, and slipped silently, for this family, for them, the eldest sister was tired! An Xin turned his back and secretly wiped away his tears, helped the eldest sister to the kang, and ran to the stove room to fill her with a bowl of hot water, "Eldest sister, you drink saliva first, slowly, I will find you a piece of clothing, change the wet clothes on your body, and save the wind and cold." As he spoke, he quickly found a mother's old jacket and came out.
Sitting quietly on the kang, seeing that the second sister's eyes were red, she knew that she was distressed about herself, so she smiled and said: "Sister, it's okay, it's just that there are a lot of things, and the road is far away, and it's a little out of strength." When I eat and sleep, I will wake up tomorrow morning and be alive again. You don't care about me, hurry up outside the door and pour things in, the two little ones are still guarding outside, if you don't go, they won't be able to take them back. ”
As soon as he heard this, Anxin couldn't worry anymore and hurriedly walked outside the house. The black light is blinding, there is not even a shelter outside, don't be scared when the two children are outside.
In the cheers of the two little ones, the same thing was moved into the house, and the room was dark, and it was impossible to see what was there, but this could not stop the excitement of the two little ones. Jing Jing also changed her clothes at this time, because she drank a large bowl of hot water and changed into dry clothes, and she had some strength in her body. So he went down to the ground and found the lamp and the oil he had bought from the basket, took out the flint, and lit the lamp, which illuminated the house in an instant.
"Wow, eldest sister, why did you buy so many things?" Jiaming happily looked at the things piled on the ground, only to feel that his eyes were not enough.
And little Jiayue stared at the oil lamp on the table with a pair of big round eyes, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, this lamp is really beautiful, so beautiful." Look how bright it is, I can see the eldest sister, the second sister and the third brother."
Quietly took out the things one by one, put a large bag of cotton on a corner of the kang, put a bag of cloth on the ground and stood in the corner of the wall, put the cloth in the bag on the kang, put it together with the cotton, handed the embroidery handkerchief to Anxin, put the small bronze mirror and the wooden comb on the small wooden box, the bowls, chopsticks, pots, pot lids, rolling pins, etc., and all kinds of grain were gathered into the stove, and finally put a roll of oilcloth next to the cloth bag, which was ready to be used to lay the roof. Finally, he took out the fat and two large bones from the bottom of the back basket.
Looking at this old thing, the two little ones were very surprised. Anxin was also stunned to watch the eldest sister take out the same thing after another, she felt that the eldest sister had bought too much, but she also knew that these things were in short supply at home, looking at the two small ones, the happy energy, the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.
"Sister, I bought so many things, no wonder I tired you like this? You won't be allowed to do this next time, even if you want to buy it, you have to open it a few times, buy this old one at once, the road is far and not easy to walk, it will exhaust you. Anxin remembered that when the eldest sister came back, her pale face and trembling legs, she couldn't help but complain.
"Got it, little housekeeper" is very useful for my sister's concern and quietness. It's like drinking honey water, and my heart is sweet!
Everything was put together, and Anxin didn't care about talking to her sister, she knew that her sister was already hungry. Then he came to the kitchen with his hands and feet, cut the fat into small pieces, and put it in the pot and put it on the oil. Five catties of fatty meat, even the meat with oil is leaning on a full clay pot, and the aroma of meat is permeated inside and outside the house. On the oil pot, Anxin quickly made a pot of pimple soup, and when he saw the two little guys looking at the oil jar with blank eyes, Anxin was ruthless, scooped a spoonful of oil residue and put it into the basin. In exchange for the smiles of the two little guys.
A pot of fragrant gnocchi soup with meat scraps was served on the table, and Anxin first served a bowl to the eldest sister, and then served the two small ones separately, and finally took the bowl for himself. The four sisters and brothers ate the fragrant pimple soup with oil residue, and their faces were satisfied. Quiet was really hungry, and ate three bowls in one go. The whole person feels alive at this time!
After dinner, Anxin brought hot water to the eldest sister to soak her feet in a wooden basin, and the two little guys knelt behind the quiet back to beat her back and pinch her shoulders, they both knew in their hearts that the eldest sister was tired today, and they were expressing their distress and love for the eldest sister in their way.
Quietly looked at her younger brothers and sisters around her, the smile on her face was so satisfied, so happy! In fact, happiness is really simple, as long as the family is together, can eat, can dress warmly, and can feel the love for each other...
