Chapter II, 6
Han Xiaoxiao glanced left and right, took a big sip with a bowl of "Gu Dong", stuffed a chopstick amaranth into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Mother, sew the quilt after eating."
"Well, I know. Let's eat! ”
Li Xiuhua took the lamp quilt after dinner, Xiaolu took the initiative to wash the dishes, but was pushed away by Han Xiaoxiao, scooped a scoop of water from the bucket and poured it into the big iron basin, squatted down and said, "Don't do it, just sit on the side and accompany me."
Xiaolu scratched his head, sat down embarrassedly, and held his cheek with his hand to watch Han Xiaoxiao brush the dishes. He thinks this is good, before he can get back his memory, someone is with him like this, protecting him in everything, at least he is not too pitiful.
Han Xiaoxiao saw him staring at himself and working hard. I feel like an adult, and I can do it very well.
There were no electric lights in the yard, and it was not convenient to wash, so the kang was laid out and cleaned up, and the two babies were crowded in the quilt to make trouble. Li Xiuhua panicked when she heard the shadow, and said: "If you want to sleep, hurry up and sleep, what are you doing!" Then he turned out the lights in the east room. I thought that the two of them would be happy again, and when they were older next year, they would let them sleep separately, what would it look like!
Han Xiaoxiao snorted and rolled her eyes at the wall. Then he tucked the quilt for Xiaolu and coaxed: "Go to sleep, Ming'er wakes up and I will go up to the pond to touch the fish."
Xiao Lu smiled and nodded, closing his eyes in reassurance.
Han Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, and the quilt that had been drying for a day had an indescribable smell, which made her feel very comfortable smelling it. After a moment of stagnation, she sat up suddenly, glanced at the path, and then lightly got off the kang. I opened the bag I got from the hospital, turned out the box of face oil, returned to the kang and quietly pressed it under the pillow. This is her favorite baby, and she needs to keep it safe.
Xiaolu's days in Zhaowa Village were settled in this way. Although the people in the village always pointed fingers at him after finding out, the troubles on the surface were solved by Han Xiaoxiao or with his lips and tongue or with his fists and feet. As for private, he can't control other people's mouths.
Every day, I go up the mountain to dig vegetables, go to the ditch to touch the fish, and follow Han Xiaoxiao and her mother to farm. Li Xiuhua also felt that since Xiaolu came home, her daughter was much more diligent, and she was not so resistant to Xiaolu in her heart.
It's just that Han Daguang always comes back for a few days a month, and it is not proper to recruit cats and dogs, Xiaolu is afraid of him, but he can't hide from him. Every time he was drunk, Han Xiaoxiao cleverly covered up, and after all, he hadn't been slapped a few times. Covering himself in the quilt at night, Han Xiaoxiao often scolded his old son and father viciously and made Xiaolu angry.
Officer Jiang from the town also came a few times occasionally, and he was not as deliberate as he was when he was in the hospital before, and he brought something delicious every time. Once, just in time for Han Daguang to come back, he knocked him a few words without yin or yang. However, she secretly told Xiaolu that her internship period was over soon, and she was going back to the provincial capital, and she couldn't come to see him in the future. Tell him to take care of himself.
Ordinary days pass as fast as flowing water, and autumn is about to start in a blink of an eye.
Li Xiuhua limped back from outside, and just now the loudspeaker in front of the seed station shouted, informing that the census had begun, and that the police station in the town was going to Zhaowa Village in early September. If you don't have an ID card, you can also take the time to go to the town police station to do it, saving you two times of effort.
Li Xiuhua was delivered by the barefoot doctor in the village back then, and Han Daguang didn't care, so Han Xiaoxiao never got a household registration. Now that she has a baby, she doesn't know what to do, so she can only ask her to go to her eldest brother's house to ask.
Han Xiaoxiao took Xiaolu's hand and went, her uncle Li Guangyuan had fallen ill since the beginning of the spring, he was dizzy and chills at every turn, and he had to go home every noon to sleep and recuperate, so it was just right to go home to find him now.
Zhao Shuying was always a little afraid of this bear donkey after being beaten, so when she saw Han Xiaoxiao coming to the door, she didn't dare to scold directly, and sat in front of the sewing machine and looked at Li Guangyuan.
The latter was watching TV with a fan on the kang, and when he saw the two babies coming in, he said helplessly: "What are you doing?"
Han Xiaoxiao grinned and said, "Uncle, my mother asked me to ask about the household registration!" As he spoke, he squinted at TV. Since the last time she watched a TV series in the hospital, she has never fished it again. At this moment, the eyes of people who jumped several meters high on the big color TV were straight. This is the white-eyed hero they are talking about!
Li Guangyuan glanced at them, to Han Xiaoxiao, he didn't want to see her because of Han Daguang and Li Xiuhua, after so many years, that's it. But this path ... Li Guangyuan observed for a while, and thought to himself that he was only about seven or eight years old, he looked white and clean, and he acted generously, not in a hurry or impatient, he must be a baby of a good family. Now this is a jade gourd falling into a mud pit, and the time is not good.
"Go back and tell Li Xiuhua that the household registration matter is easy to handle, let her go directly to the brigade to open the birth certificate, as for him... As he spoke, he pointed to the path, "I will say hello to the brigade, and the police station also knows the situation, so I can do it as soon as the time comes." ”
When Han Xiaoxiao heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "I know!" It's still the uncle who has the ability. After speaking, he stared at the TV again, and at this moment there was a scene of two men and two women fighting, which was so intense that Han Xiaoxiao's soul was sucked into the TV.
Xiaolu hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and urged her to go back. Han Xiaoxiao reluctantly withdrew her eyes, said hello to her uncle and went home.
"What do you mean, daddy? Why do you care about her family's affairs again? ”
"What's going on with her? Her family also has a son! Li Guangyuan returned impatiently.
Zhao Shuying stopped talking, and the insoles that had just run under her hands were clenched into a ball.
Over there, Li Xiuhua listened to the reply and relieved herself. According to what Li Guangyuan said, he went to the brigade to open a certificate and stamped it, and before the women's director and the police station came to the door, he finally got the household registration done.
Just entered September, Han Xiaoxiao and Xiaolu were gathering Chai He in the courtyard, when they heard someone knocking on the door, and opened it to see that it was the women's director of the village and Wang Qiuyang. Han Xiaoxiao hurriedly welcomed them into the east room, Li Xiuhua was changing the undershirt for the path on the kang, and when she saw them coming in, she hurriedly inserted the needle and knelt up crampedly.
Wang Qiuyang stepped forward and said, "Just sit down." Then let the women's director explain her intentions.
"We're here to implement the problem of the baby going to school. Most of the school-age children in our village have already registered and are waiting for school to start. What do you mean by the rest of the households? ”
Li Xiuhua hesitated: "Go to school? How can my family afford this? Besides, what's the use of her going to school as a girl doll? ”
Wang Qiuyang said: "Men and women are equal, don't say such things again." Moreover, the country now implements compulsory education, and school-age children must be enrolled. ”
Li Xiuhua said embarrassedly: "Then let's wait for her father to come back, I can't be the master myself."
When the women's director heard this, she was anxious, "Wait for him to come back?" What are you doing when he comes back? Han Daguang, what kind of business is he doing? You have to give me a word today! ”
The cadres of the police station are still here, and today they were supposed to check the population, and they specially explained that they would come to Han Daguang's house for a trip, and she couldn't let Li Xiuhua show her face at this time. So he taught her righteously and strictly.
Han Xiaoxiao took Wang Qiuyang's arm and asked, "Uncle, can Xiaolu also go to school?" She was afraid that people would think Xiaolu was dumb, and if the school didn't want him, she would definitely not go.
"There are not so many requirements for village-run primary schools, as long as you sign up." Wang Qiuyang patted her head and replied.
"Mother, I want to go, I want to go! Just agree! Han Xiao grabbed her mother's trouser leg like a fool.
In fact, she is not in a hurry to go to school, but she has to let the path go! Xiaolu's hands are so good-looking, at first glance, they are materials for reading and writing, how can he dig vegetables and collect firewood with himself every day! She didn't want Xiaolu to become like Hu Fat and Eggy! She always remembered that the first time she saw the path, she was dressed so foreign, and she looked better than the people on the calendar, but now she can only wear her mother's old clothes, her hair is also twisted by her mother with scissors, and the back of her head is still open!
Li Xiuhua went to hit her hand in annoyance, and when she was silent, the women's director said directly: "I'll go back in a while, and I'll find my old Liu to report the names of these two!" Don't be a drag! ”
Li Xiuhua wanted to say something more, but the women's director twisted her head, pulled Wang Qiuyang and left. As he walked, he said: "His family has always been like this, the boss of my village is difficult, and he is just calling it a joke!"
Wang Qiuyang shook his head and advised: "This child is pitiful, eldest sister, you have to worry too much."
The women's director's surname is Zhao, and the old Liu she said is the principal of the village primary school. Hearing Wang Qiuyang say this, he was frightened: "This is called Kai, it should be grinned!" The boy said that he picked it up in the city, and he also knew that it was indeed a poor person. It's time to go to school, or follow someone like Han Daguang, and then learn badly. ”
Until a week later, the village was about to start school, and Han Daguang did not come back. Li Xiuhua had no choice but to sew schoolbags for the two babies.
Han Xiaoxiao had never seen Xiaolu so happy, his two big eyes were shining in the black rumbling night, and he grinned at Han Xiaoxiao from time to time. Han Xiaoxiao picked up peanuts for a day, and he was so tired that he was in pain. But he still cheered up and said to Xiaolu: "Study hard, and when you are educated, you can go to work in the city, see the doctor in the hospital, sit in the office and the wind can't blow the rain, and enjoy a lot of happiness!" and the Uncle Qiuyang at the police station, they all drive cars to work, how majestic! ”
Xiao Lu nodded seriously as he listened, although he couldn't remember the past, he knew that he must have gone to school, at least kindergarten.
He couldn't sleep happily, he thought that in Zhaowa Village, he would live with Han Xiaoxiao so vaguely until the day he regained his memory. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to go to school. So until midnight, I was staring excitedly and looking forward to the days ahead.
Han Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep on the other side, and in his dream, Xiaolu was sitting in the emergency room in a white coat for a while, and was saluting in a majestic police uniform for a while. She was so beautiful that she laughed out loud.
Xiao Lu got up in confusion, looked at her through the dim moonlight, and found that she was dreaming, and couldn't help but smile too.
