Chapter 53: The Follower
I hid under the firewood stack, not daring to say anything, but I was very confused in my heart, what did Zhang Si and Chen Shuqing do when they came to find my father?
The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, what are they going to do?
Zhang Si and a few people answered my father's call and left in a hurry.
I waited until they were all gone, and my father went back to the old house, and only after four or five minutes did he carefully get out, and I believe that whatever he did, it was for my own good!
Including the second uncle is the same.
It's just that my dad is likely to be the man in black who appeared in the Yin Village, that's amazing, if I make a sound, I will definitely be discovered, and when the time comes, I will be locked up at home, and I won't be able to see what they do.
It's past eleven o'clock when I got home, and I can't sleep when I lie in bed and toss and turn, and my mind is full of thinking about what my father is going to do, is it the matter of the Yin Well in Qingshui Village?
When I was about to fall asleep in a daze, the door to my room was suddenly pushed open. I cleverly climbed up, turned on the light in the room, and saw my daughter-in-law slipping in aggrievedly, barefoot, pulling open my bed and getting in.
Call!
I exhaled and didn't say anything about her, and it didn't help to say her now. I shrank into the quilt, not daring to do anything to her, not because I was afraid that she would clean me up after she recovered, but because I was worried that my mother would come in, and how ashamed it would be if she saw me in the bar.
As soon as my daughter-in-law came, I was completely sleepy, so I simply got up and found the black card for her. There are a total of five pieces in my hand, and I haven't looked at two of them, but I feel that they should be able to see a rough idea together.
Seeing the black card, the daughter-in-law's eyes flashed with a little joy, which shows that this thing is very important to her, and she still remembers it in this way.
My daughter-in-law held the black card in both hands, watched it for a while, and reached out to break my eyelids, I was a little surprised. But she didn't open her eyes open, she looked at it twice, and got up snuckly.
I couldn't help but want to laugh, is she watching me fall asleep? looks stupid, just like her, she has to be woken up when she falls asleep.
My daughter-in-law tiptoed out of the door, very careful, the door closed, and I got up and followed.
Rural people have no furniture at home, the only furniture in the hall is a long offering cabinet, this kind of cabinet is more popular in the countryside, you can put offerings to ancestors on it, and the back wall is pasted with the family hall, that is, the kind of heaven and earth monarch teacher.
The big space below contains millet and wheat, and there are several drawers in front of it, which are usually used to put some sundries.
As soon as the daughter-in-law went out, she began to rummage in the drawer, and at first she looked for it very calmly, but after a while, she seemed to be unable to find something, and she was so anxious that she burst into tears.
To be honest, I like her more now than a cold daughter-in-law, she is a little silly, but she looks like a little daughter-in-law when she sits under the eaves with my mother.
I saw that she was in a hurry, so I opened the door and went out.
She didn't want me to know where her East Plateau was, but now that she couldn't find me, when she saw me come out, she immediately pulled me to complain and said, "My things are missing!" ”
I reassured her not to rush, and then searched all the drawers, and when I did, she crouched nervously and watched.
But after all the drawers were found, and there was still no black card, I asked her in confusion, "Wife, are you sure you put things in there?" ”
The daughter-in-law nodded, took my hand, and insisted that I was looking for it.
I've looked for it all, and if it's not there, it's definitely not there. I'm sure my daughter-in-law won't be mistaken, there is only one possibility, the black card was taken away.
Thinking of my father's abnormality, could it be that the black card was taken away by him?
When I was suspicious, my mother heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets outside, came out with her clothes on, and reprimanded lovingly: "You two children, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you up to rummage around?" ”
When my daughter-in-law heard this, she was anxious, and showed the black card in her hand to my mother, and my mother looked at the black card and suddenly said, "I'll keep the brand for you." That thing looks very valuable, your father always goes to turn it over, I'm afraid he will lose it, you wait, my mother will take it for you. ”
When my daughter-in-law heard this, she stood up happily, and saw that there were some beads of sweat on her little nose, I gently wiped it for her, and she smiled sweetly at me, which was very warm.
If only she had been like this all the time.
After a while, my mother came out, holding a handkerchief, wrapped in several layers, and when it was opened, there were four demons inside.
I thought that my daughter-in-law would take it over and keep it for herself, after all, looking at her nervous appearance, it is estimated that she is not at ease in anyone's hands. I didn't think that she just looked at it, and then put a piece in her hand, wrapped it up and handed it to my mother, and said crisply: "Mom, you help me keep it!" ”
"Hey!" My mom answered happily, her eyes narrowed.
I was a little speechless, no wonder my mom liked her so much, it turned out to be a sweet mouth. But she is willing to give the demon to my mother, proving that she has absolute trust in my mother.
It's a good feeling.
After all, a family, guessing and guessing, distrusts each other, then it can't be called a family.
When we were going back to the room, my mother pulled me and whispered to me to be honest at night and not to mess around.
Knowing what she was talking about, my face turned red, I nodded shyly, broke free from her hand and ran back to the room.
In the countryside, many things are backward. Originally, my father should have taught me this, but my father kept a straight face all day long, and it was only my mother who taught me this.
It's just that my mother doesn't say it, and I haven't spent my intestines in my heart. When she said this, the little worm in my stomach became a little restless, and when I returned to the house, I kissed my daughter-in-law first.
At night, the hands are naturally unruly, and they are placed there wherever they are comfortable.
The next day, I was going to go to Li Lin at dawn and ask him to go to the old house with me tomorrow, but the sun hadn't come out yet, and my mother came back from hunting pigweed, so Li Lin came, pushing a bicycle, carrying a big bag of things behind him, and shouting at me in the yard with a loud voice.
When I came out, I saw that he had brought all the money with him. When he saw me, he complained bitterly: "Brother Ding Ning, there are many mice in my house, and they have gnawed all my money, you see!" ”
He pointed to a hole in the bag and showed it to me, afraid that I wouldn't believe it, so he took out two wades of money from it, and it was really half gnawed by a mouse.
My mother just put down the pigweed, and when she saw the broken money in Li Lin's hand, she was distressed. Li Lin climbed along the pole and offered to live in my house.
Uncle Li is gone, and Li Lin is full and hungry at home alone. I can't bear it in my heart, it's just that the family is so big, and the money in his hand is not a small amount. Some things are easy to say at the beginning, but after a long time, there will still be problems.
I didn't wait for my mother to talk and said, "I'm going to build a small building, you can also build one next to my house!" ”
Li Lin is like an old bachelor now, so he will go there to join in the excitement, and when he hears that there are those who disagree.
I asked my mother to count the money in front of him, and help him collect it for the time being, and give him a clear account of how much it will cost at that time.
Li Lin's relationship with me is like a brother, I cherish this relationship, and I don't want to make the relationship stiff for some trivial things at that time.
After all, in the countryside, because of poverty, my brothers can use knives for a few cabbages in the field, I believe that Li Lin is not such a person, but some things can be avoided as much as possible.
Li Lin touched it, it was a trivial matter for the money to be gnawed by the mouse, and the main thing was to eat it. Moreover, Uncle Li is gone, and the people in the village avoid him, and it is very lonely to live alone in the village.
After settling down to live in my house temporarily, Li Lin's mood rose a lot, and he took the initiative to share a bunch of toys he bought with me to play.
Those are all things that I can't see in the town, and when I play, I don't even want to think about my daughter-in-law, but my daughter-in-law is very well-behaved and follows my mother to feed the pigs and cows.
Of course, she just stood by and watched curiously.
I don't need her to learn that, and when she has money in the future, I will give her a rich life. It's just that now, if she doesn't do this, her life will be boring.
Playing until noon, I told Li Lin about my father and Zhang Si, the two of them were silent, and I went to call my father at dinner and asked him to come back for dinner.
Originally, it was just a try, but he actually came. My mother told Li Lin that he was going to build a small house. My dad hummed and said he would come to town in a few days to find someone to come and see.
Building a house is a big project, not to mention a small bungalow, steel bars and everything have to be pulled from the town, and then people carry horses and camels to the village, that kind of thing, Li Lin and I must not be able to do it.
After a few bites of rice, we didn't eat enough, so Li Lin and I said that we were full, and we put down the bowl and prepared to slip away. But my daughter-in-law also put her little white bowl away, got up and ran after us, chasing me like a fart.
Li Lin also knew that his daughter-in-law would be stupid as soon as she returned to the village, and blatantly complained: "Brother Ding Ning, she is just an oil bottle, can you get her back?" ”
I started to coax when I went out of the door, but it was useless, and my father's meal was almost ready, and it was ruined when I delayed the planned things. I had no choice but to carry my daughter-in-law on my bicycle and go straight to the old house. There were still a few minutes to go from the old house, so Li Lin and I threw our bicycles on the side of the road and climbed over the wall.
Li Lin and I were very numb, but my daughter-in-law became a problem, Li Lin and I rode on the wall and dragged for a long time, but her feet would not stare at the wall, and she couldn't pull up.
When I was about to cry, my daughter-in-law suddenly broke away from our hands, and when I didn't know what she was going to do, I saw a white shadow flash, and my daughter-in-law flew directly into the old house silently.
Li Lin and I were so frightened that our mouths opened wide and we hurriedly jumped off the wall.
I was familiar with everything in the old house, and the three of them hid upstairs in the ear room, from here, I could see the front yard and the back yard.
When she was lying on her stomach, her daughter-in-law's chest was bulging, and she was about to jump out of her collar. Li Lin wanted to peek, but I knocked him on the back of the head a few times, warned him that this was my daughter-in-law and was not allowed to look at it, and then took my daughter-in-law's hand and asked her to block her chest.
After a while, as soon as it got dark, my father returned.
