CHAPTER 12

Thinking so crankily that the sky will be bright, I am really hungry. Dad came back late last night, and it was another situation, so I couldn't eat.

Listening to the quiet movement of the East House, Han Xiaoxiao turned over and jumped off the kang, quietly touched the cold pot and cold stove, and just touched a piece of yellow bun before he could reach his mouth, he heard someone in the yard shouting: "Old light!" Is there any? Hurry up! ”

This is Li Rongfa, who usually messes around with her father, Han Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed the bun and went back to the West House, and heard his father shouting in a panic: "What are you shouting?" I don't know if I was frightened before I woke up, and my voice trembled and sounded weak.

"Didn't you say you had a drink at your house last night? You didn't call until it got dark, what's the matter? I didn't have enough waves outside, and I couldn't get down to the ground when I came back and hugged my mother-in-law? Ha ha. ”

"I'm not strong today, you drink it yourself, I'll lie down."

"Oh, come on, it's refreshing to drink! You don't want to come. ”

"Get out of here! I'll go later. ”

"Wow!"

Han Xiaoxiao listened while nibbling on the cold bun, and before she could swallow the last bite, she heard her mother call her: "Xiaoxiao'er!" Tiny! ”

"What are you doing?"

"Go and fetch a basin of water."

"Oh."

There is a water tank in the yard, and her house has no well and no running water pipe. They all went to the west of the village to carry water back, and her mother limped to carry a small half bucket every time, and she was about the same, so there were not many times when there was water in the tank. Seeing that there was still some water in the bucket next to him, he poured it all into half a basin, thought about it and poured it back a little for himself, and then hurriedly took the basin and sent it into the east room.

On the kang, her father and her mother got up, and the boy was still asleep, putting the basin on the edge of the kang, she stared at the boy carefully, her eyes were closed tightly, she frowned, her face was red, and her mouth was pursed.

"Don't look at it, quickly take a towel and twist it to wipe his face."

"Oh." As soon as Han Xiaoxiao put the cold black towel on the boy's face, he shivered violently. "Oops, why is it so hot? Mother, what should I do? ”

"Try to break your mouth and feed more cold water." Her father urged.

Han Xiaoxiao held the bowl, which was half a bowl of water left over from her father, and her mother broke it with her hand, but the boy's mouth was so tight that she couldn't open it.

"Her father, this baby's teeth are so tight that she can't open them."

"What do you want you to do?" Saying that, her father also came to help.

The servants were busy all morning, and after wasting their strength, they finally poured a little cold water into it.

This will make her father go out in a hurry, let the mother lock the house and watch people, don't let people see it, and don't let the boy die of illness. After explaining, I went to Li Rongfa and played with them. Her mother has no idea, she will sit on the kang and stare at the boy's face in a daze, as if she wants to see a flower on this face.

Han Xiaoxiao watched her mother sit motionless, and she didn't know what she thought, so she sniffed and bluffed her mother: "It's been two days, if you don't go to bag today, what should people do when they come to you?"

The corners of her mother's mouth twitched suddenly, and then she came back to her senses, rubbed her face, wiped her eyes again, and said, "I have to pass, the salary is not settled yet." He looked down at the sleeping boy and said, "Keep an eye on him, he won't wake up for a while, if he doesn't work, lock the door and call me, just say, just say..."

"I'll call you back to get food."

"Ah, yes, yes. Find something to eat for yourself first, and keep an eye on it. I'll go out and shut the door. ”

After the sound of "Gada", the room was completely silent.

It was cloudy outside, and it was dark inside, Han Xiaoxiao just sat next to the boy, first looked at it for a while, remembered that he still had a fever, and began to wipe his face with a cool towel, and began to mutter, "Why is it so white?" It was as if he hadn't seen the light, and the skin on his face was slippery. At first glance, she has been sinned, and Sister Xinfeng does not drink goat's milk so white every day. Curiously, he took his hand and looked over and over again, the fingers were long, fleshy, soft, and the nails were clean. Compared with his own hands, they were black and hard, and their nails were not bitten neatly, and the thorns and edges were all black mud. "What a blessed man!" I saw that although the clothes on his body were dirty, they were all good materials, and they looked so beautiful when they were stuck.

Han Xiaoxiao is not big, but she is a fine person, she knows that there is an old man in the village who has died of his mother-in-law, and he also hugged a baby from the outside and spent some money. But it's only a little bit, and it can't speak yet. This one looks bigger than herself, she must not be obedient, and she will inevitably be beaten by her father when the time comes, think about it and be pitiful.

She was touching and pinching and tossing people like fiddling with things, and suddenly heard the voice on the kang "Mom... I'm thirsty. Frightened, his soul flew and jumped off the kang. Didn't you say you wouldn't wake up for a while? Why is this so fast?!

The one on the kang hadn't opened his eyes yet, and he didn't know if he was talking nonsense, Han Xiaoxiao hurriedly wanted to run to call her mother, but she was so anxious that she put on her shoes and cried when she heard "wow" inside before she reached the door.

What should I do now?! It must be too late to call her mother, her father doesn't know that Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey can come back after drinking. As soon as she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, she hurriedly ran back to the kang and went to cover the boy's mouth.

This baby just woke up, and after burning for two days, he didn't eat or drink for two days, and he couldn't move his hands and feet when he was pressed by Han Xiaoxiao, so he could only watch the dirty girl in front of him with a pair of big eyes and shed tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm not a bad one, as long as I don't cry and don't howl, I'll let go, what's the matter?" Han Xiaoxiao was also flustered, so he coaxed him without a teacher, and tried his best to pretend to be sincere on his face.

There was a suppressed "whine" below for a while, and finally there was no sound. Han Xiaoxiao stared at his eyes for a moment, watching him struggle and nodded, then he put his mind at ease and turned over and sat on the kang.

"Me, where is this?" The boy opened his mouth, and Han Xiaoxiao was stunned. This person speaks so well, Sister Xinfeng also speaks Mandarin, and it sounds like a pig's nose sticking green onions, pretending to be. Far from being as comfortable as this person's speech, his voice was a little hoarse because he was sick, but his voice was still soft, and he felt ashamed of himself when he remembered his sharp and powerful voice just now.

He deliberately cleared his throat, lowered his voice and pretended to say, "Do you remember?" I'm sick, I'm waiting for you. ”

"Who are you?"

Han Xiaoxiao really couldn't think of anything to say, so she suddenly remembered and said, "Aren't you thirsty?" I'm going to get some water. ”

The boy wanted to sit up, but he couldn't exert any strength in his body, and his mind seemed to be a mess that made him dizzy and wanted to vomit when he moved. It seems that something is wrong, but I can't remember it, and I vaguely remember where I went to see a doctor when I was sick, and who I went with? It hurts a lot.

Han Xiaoxiao had just gotten some water from the bucket and turned into the house before she walked to the kang, when the man vomited and vomited, so frightened that she hurriedly went up to shoot. Xu didn't eat or drink, he spit out two mouthfuls of sour water and there was nothing, his stomach was burning uncomfortably, so Han Xiaoxiao poured him a big mouthful of cold water. He drank some water and said with difficulty, "Thank you." I wanted to ask something more, but I rolled my eyelids and fainted again, and at this moment, no matter how the dirty girl in front of him pushed and shoved him, he was unconscious.

Han Xiaoxiao put down the bowl and looked at the unconscious boy in front of him, and his whisper in his ear was "Thank you." I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I remembered the ideas I had made before, and I had mixed tastes.

She knew that her father was not a thing, and her mother was not assertive, but no matter what her father did, she was responsible. If you think that your family is not a good person, what about yourself? Is the rotten root also a bad billet? If she wasn't bad or rotten, such a big living person in the family, uh, no, little living person, how could she tell her father what she said last night... Who to tell? Uncle? Do you dare? Her father would beat her to death. Didn't you say last night, I want to call this to give him a pension. If you shake this thing out, will you have a good life in the future? Besides ... Besides, staring at the poor baby on the kang, she suddenly felt that her life was not interesting at all, no one in the village was playing with her, her uncle didn't recognize her, and Sister Xinfeng also looked at her with her nostrils. Her father burned high incense if he didn't beat her, and her unpromising mother was angry with a man because she gave birth to a girl, and she felt that she was harmed, and she never had a good face for her.

Thinking about it this way, Han Xiaoxiao felt that it didn't taste at all. Wouldn't it be good if you really stayed at their house? She promised that she would not bully him, and that she would not let others bully him, so ... It doesn't hurt him.

She just stared at the little figure on the kang quietly, thinking wildly, and sat for a while.

When the weather cleared up and the house was not so cold, she got up and moved around to find something to eat. After turning around, there was nothing, and there were a few sweet potatoes that had been covered last winter in the firewood pile, she pouted a few times with her hand, turned her head and drank two sips of water and sat down again, and after a while she lay on the edge of the kang and squinted.

As soon as he squinted, he was woken up by the sound of "clang" knocking on the door.

"Tiny! Han Xiaoxiao! Hurry up and open the door. Her mother was calling outside.

She rubbed her eyes and slowly pulled the bolt, and her mother hurriedly turned in.

"What's going on? Is there any movement? "Seeing the motionless lying on the kang, I sighed a lot." I didn't do much for a while, so I found an excuse and hurried back, for fear that something would happen. ”

"Oh, just fall asleep all the time."

"This baby won't burn out, will it?"

"I'm very hungry." Han Xiaoxiao opened the conversation, thinking, even if he burned out, could he still treat him? Scold.

"Eat, eat, eat! I don't do anything but eat all day long. As he spoke, he took out a vegetable poop from his cloth pocket and handed it to her. This is the work of the family, a total of two, I think I work slowly and go early, he is not willing to give me, die. After speaking, he muttered, "It's good to wait for the money to be paid." ”

Han Xiaoxiao listened to it while nibbling on the vegetable poop, and felt funny, didn't she let her father leave again after she paid her salary? When she was 6 years old, she didn't even eat pork a few times, her father was good, and it was uncomfortable to eat and drink outside!

"You go to the west of the village and come back with a few buckets of water, hurry up! Save your father from coming back with water to drink and pout. ”

Han Xiaoxiao was the most annoying to carry water, and she had to have a meal back and forth, which made her shoulder hurt. Only then did I eat a vegetable poop, and my stomach was empty again after carrying two buckets of water.

Reluctantly, she carried the bucket and walked out, and bumped into someone head-on, so frightened that she threw the bucket and sat on the muddy floor.

"Do you dare to ask a mouse to eat it today?" The eldest aunt Zhao Shuying pinched the chicken's neck and vomited at her in a weird voice, "What? Don't want to return the borrowed flashlight? Hurry up and bring it to me! As he spoke, he glanced into the courtyard, "Are you a thief with the doors and windows closed in broad daylight?" ”

"My mother is sick and dizzy." After saying that, Han Xiaoxiao quickly stood up, rushed back to the house, turned out the flashlight, and gave it to her.

Zhao Shuying squinted at her for a while, then looked at the room, "snorted" and scolded, "She has a lot of problems." It's easy to leave, Han Xiaoxiao's palms are sweaty, he rubs the sides of his pants sticky, picks up the bucket and closes the courtyard door to fetch water.
