Chapter 6: Fruity Flavors
Hui Chu remembers very well that she went to her grandmother's house for the Chinese New Year that year, and as usual, she went to her grandmother's house and lay down in her grandmother's arms, and then let her grandmother rub her stomach when she was full, although she also scolded her grandmother at home, and she didn't go to the hospital to see her when she died. But grandma loves Hui Chu! Seeing my grandmother's hatred, the hatred disappeared. It can be seen that Uncle Chu has always hated and feared, and felt that this uncle was too terrible, but the uncle was also very good to Chu Chu, when he was a child, Chu Chu couldn't cry, and his uncle had great strength, so he held Chu Chu all day and night. Chu Chu contradicts the world of adults, which face is their real face?
Every year in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I have to burn paper money for my ancestors, and Aunt Xian is not married to a child, no children, everyone forgets to burn paper for her, and after returning, Aunt Cui, who was promoted to Aunt Cui, who was promoted to sixth aunt after Aunt Xian's death, carried a plate of burning paper and put things to eat, including braised pork, steamed buns, and wine. On the way back, Aunt Cui's hands were full of big blisters, like stir-fried vegetables splashed with oil, and like boiling water or fire scalding blisters, it hurts.
As soon as the paper-burning people returned to the house, there was a smell of falling fruit in the house, a strong smell of pesticides, which was even more spicy than standing in the orchard where the medicine was being applied. It's like a gust of wind that swept through the house in an instant.
The whole family was dumbfounded, everyone said where is this the smell of falling fruit? I don't know who said that I didn't burn paper for that (Aunt Xian didn't mention her name directly, I'm afraid) today, and Cui'er's hand also burned a big blister.
The adults asked the second aunt who was married in the neighbor's house to come back quickly and go to burn the paper together, and the second aunt and the second aunt said: "Talk nonsense all day, which is so powerful!"
After that, he returned to his own house twenty or thirty miles away, and one day it was raining outside, and he dreamed that his aunt was wet and had nowhere to go, so he went into the house and cowered on the edge of the kang in the house of Xuan Chu. The rain all over her body was cold, and her naturally rolled big waves were all washed away, and Hui Chu originally wanted to say Aunt Xian, why don't you come to the bed on the kang, but when she thought about it, Aunt Xian was already dead! Xuan Chu didn't dare to speak! After a while, when Yichu's mother called for Yichu to peel garlic, Yichu woke up and saw that it was still early, and her mother was preparing for lunch, and she wanted to eat mixed noodles and peel garlic. Hui Chu went down to the ground and saw that the water trail on the ground where Aunt Xian was sitting in the dream just now had not dried up, but there was no figure. Hui Chu felt cold and shivered, so he went to help his mother cook, and Chu Chu's mother said, "Who came to Chu Chu just now, why is the ground wet?" ”
Chu said, "I didn't know I was asleep!" ”
Chu Chu's mother said, "Chu Chu, what did you dream about? Mom heard you humming and chirping, so she called you? ”
Ji Chu said while peeling garlic: "Mom, does Aunt Xian have a place to go when it rains?" How can she shelter from the rain!"
Yu Chu's mother said: "This rain has been falling since last night until now, Mom dreamed last night that your aunt was drenched in the rain and had nowhere to go!" Ay! ”
Xuan Chu said: "Mom, the water trail just now was left by Aunt Xian!"
Mother Chu didn't reply, as if she hadn't heard it, and never mentioned it again!
Once the two aunts Lan and Aunt Cui came to the house, and the three of them closed their mothers, they couldn't help but sigh how bad their grandmothers were, how many men were inferior to women, and they killed their aunts and uncles, and scolded to the end, saying that the old villain, the old guy...... Something like that. didn't say that Aunt Xian was pitiful, but talked about what a few of them had suffered, and the result was that the smell of fruit filled the whole room in an instant. A few people are red-eared, saying that people don't want to, and they still protect their mothers! I didn't dare to scold anymore, so I kept silent.
That year, Yi Chu heard the news that they brought to his grandmother's house, saying that his grandmother's neighbors and family would see a woman in red on the wall and roof of his grandmother's house every night, jumping around and shouting Mom, Mom, Mom...... Woo woo woo ......!" Crying all night long! The neighbors who listened to it felt miserable and sad!
The door of my grandmother's house is about to be opened at every turn, and the door bolt that shakes "knock knock, knock knock...... is about to open! Every time she had to break into the door, the youngest Aunt Cui was afraid that her head was covered with a quilt, and she hid in her grandmother's arms and shivered until the rooster crowed, and there was no movement!
Aunt Cui said, "When I don't knock on the door, I ride my bicycle all night long, and the sound of the bicycle chain is like a night in the yard with the sound of the chain of the bicycle and the old style of the big chain tile." The door is locked tightly, and it is impossible for anyone to come in, which scares my mother and me!"
Ji Chu's mother shed tears and said: "Pity her for being so beautiful, she has never been married in her life, and she left without giving birth to a boy and half a girl!" ”
Aunt Lan said, "Hey! No one is as beautiful as her, and she has a thin face! She is one meter seven tall, tall and slender, with big breasts, so big breasts, and a thin waist of one foot eight. The big waves that naturally rolled, and the young men who walked to the road chased her for several streets to see her, whistled, and she ignored it!"
Ji Chu's mother said: "She's too honest, too tough!" If the people introduced can marry one casually, how can they die! The Xiao Zhu introduced by Chu Chu's father is also a talent, I don't know why she can't look down on her?"
Ji Chu interjected and said: "Mom, I know, I was there when I was introduced, Aunt Xian saw that Xiao Zhulai sitting on the ground and laughing, she was afraid of crying on the kang, and she cried until people left and didn't want to marry!"
A few people said that they didn't know why Aunt Xian was so picky, she didn't marry, and she cried when she mentioned a blind date. It is said that people sometimes have to think about it, and they can't get into the horns, otherwise they won't be able to think about it.
That night, Ji Chu dreamed that Aunt Xian was coming, and smiled at her, and Chu said, "Aunt Xian, why are you here?" How are you doing?"
Aunt Xian didn't say anything, she was about to leave with her, and she was about to leave, because Aunt Xian was good to them when she was alive, and at this time she forgot that Aunt Xian was dead and wanted to go.
At this moment, a voice shouted: "Chu Chu, take your shoes, can you give me eggs?" ”
When Chu Chu saw that it was the blue-eyed Mickey Mouse, he immediately said angrily: "You little mouse, you are going to disturb me again!" Don't stop me, I'll go with Aunt Xian! ”
The blue-eyed Mickey Mouse said anxiously: "Chu Chu, look at her, she is not your Aunt Xian, Aunt Xian is dead!" ”
Xuan Chu looked at Aunt Xian's gentle and beautiful face like Wang Zuxian and said, "Nonsense, how could she die!" ”
Who knew that the uncle riding a bicycle in the calendar painting on the wall also jumped out and shouted: "She is not a good person, she is a ghost, you Chu, don't be deceived by her!" ”
At this time, Chu Chu's dog: "Wangwangwang, Wangwang,......" shouted almost hysterically, and Chu Chu woke up from his dream. Looking at the wall calendar, isn't it grandma's house! I remembered that I came to my grandmother's house to sleep today. The uncle in the painting is like wiping sweat!
