"Obviously, I washed my feet."

Wu Huihong shouted into the courtyard with a kettle.

"Here we are."

Shu Zheming, who was teasing the big cat Ah Huang, heard the voice, and after responding loudly, he ran into the house quickly.

The splint on Shu Nuan's left foot is still fixed, and it is somewhat inconvenient to move.

However, with the help of my grandmother, I was able to wash up smoothly.

For them, it's dark and it's time to rest.

The winter night was not full of stars, even the light of the moon seemed to be obscured by the night, and the whole mountain village could not even hear the sound of insects except for the sound of the wind blowing dead leaves.

I have an old black and white TV at home, but I rarely turn it on to save on electricity bills.

After Shu Zheming wiped off the water stains on his feet, he scooped up and sat on the wooden bench Ah Huang, and ran to his room in a hurry.

"Grandma. Big sister, I'm sleeping. ”

"Go ahead, don't kick the quilt at night."

When Shu Nuan answered, the other party had already run into his room.

She looked at her younger brother's back, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly.

At this time, Wu Huihong just poured out the footwashing water, walked into the house slowly, and sighed lightly: "Obviously hugged Ah Huang into the house again?" ”

"Let him go. It was so cold that there happened to be a cat to warm his bed, and I used to do the same. ”

Shu Nuan said softly, and couldn't help but think of what happened when he was a child.

When she was young, because her parents didn't like it and her younger siblings disliked it, she was actually very sensitive and fragile in her heart, and she was afraid of a lot of things.

She was very scared of the rats that were flooding her home, and when she slept in a daze, she felt the feeling of rats running in groups under the bed, which made her unable to sleep at night.

Later, after the master knew about her problem, he directly brought her a big black cat and let her sleep every day to relieve her fear.

However, the big black cat did not accompany her for long, and died when she was in junior high school.

It is said that cats can have a premonition before they die, and then leave the house early and find a place to die quietly. She didn't believe it at first, but later found the bones of a black cat in a cave she frequented.

"Nuan Nuan, go back to the house and rest."

Wu Huihong's reminder interrupted Shu Nuan's memories.

Shu Nuan bowed slightly: "Okay." ”

Then, enduring the discomfort on her feet, she limped into the room with a cane.

There are only two serious rooms in the family, but they are just enough for their grandparents and grandchildren to live in.

In the thatched house where she is now, the floor of the bedroom is still muddy, the walls are whitewashed with lime, and the furniture such as the wardrobe and the big bed are all grandmother's dowry back then, and after so many years, it is somewhat dilapidated.

At that time, the black-and-white TV that had to have problems from time to time was placed in this room, but now neither of the people in the room had the idea of watching TV.

The wooden bed in the room is very spacious, and the carvings on the railing are a little paintless, but they are not broken, and they are still very beautiful.

Shu Nuan stepped on the footstool next to the bed and slowly sat on the edge of the bed.

"Squeak......

After Wu Huihong cleaned up the outside, she turned off the lights in the hall, slowly walked into the house, and closed the door with her hand.

Shu Nuan glanced up at the people who entered the room, and reminded in a low voice: "Grandma, help me take out the bag in the cabinet." ”

"Bags? Now that I don't sleep at this point, what bag to take? ”

Wu Huihong was puzzled by this, but she still turned around and opened the cabinet and took out a blue cloth bag.

Shu Nuan took his bag, and then took out a bulging black plastic bag from inside.

After untying the plastic pocket, there was a handkerchief, and then untied the handkerchief, revealing a dusty hundred-dollar bill.

Seeing this, Wu Huihong's eyes widened suddenly.

"Nuan Nuan, what is this money?"

"Yes, it's the balance of the medical bills refunded in the hospital today."

After Shu Nuan replied so affirmatively, Wu Hui looked at the huge amount of money and was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why do you have so much money, I thought that after living in the hospital for so long, there was not much left." ”

Everyone knows that it costs money to go to the hospital, and it costs a lot of money, so if you get sick, you either have to get through it yourself, or you have to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, but you really have no choice, and you will only go to a small clinic outside the village to see a doctor.

"There's more than 3,000 dollars left here." Shu Nuan said as she handed over the money in her hand. "Grandma, you have the money."

Wu Huihong hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "No, no, no, you should keep this money." ”

Shu Nuan lowered her eyes and looked at the large sum of money in her hand, and after being silent for a few seconds, she nodded slightly.

This huge amount of money for them is indeed not suitable for the other party to hold, after all, although Niu Chunhua doesn't know how much money they have, they must have been trying to snatch it.

"Okay, just let me go first. After a few days, I went to the credit union to deposit it, which was safer than holding the cash directly. ”

She only earns 300 yuan a month working in a restaurant, and she can save enough money for a whole year without eating or drinking.

Since she started working a few years ago, the money she has saved hard-earned is only 1,000 yuan. Originally, when she got the money this morning, she wanted to go to the bank. However, because I didn't bring a passbook and was in a hurry to come back, I had to wait for the next time to save money.

In fact, with this money, she can go to the town outside the mountains to rent a shop and start a small business selling food.

She is confident in her craft, but the premise is that Niu Chunhua will not take her younger brothers and sisters to make trouble, after all, she is angry and makes money, and she will definitely not be able to do business every day.

Wu Huihong naturally didn't know what she was planning in her heart, and after confirming that the wound on her foot had not worsened and become inflamed, she motioned for her to rest.

Shu Nuan took a nap in the afternoon, but now when she talks about resting, she subconsciously wants to yawn.

"Sleep. If there is anything, I will wait until dawn tomorrow. ”

Wu Huihong said as she tucked the corners of the quilt for her.

When the weather is cold, the grass house can only isolate the cold wind, not the cold, and you must cover the quilt well at night so as not to catch a cold.

Shu Nuan had been resting in the comfortable soft bed in the hospital some time ago, and originally thought that she would not be comfortable with the straw wooden bed at home when she came back.

However, after lying down, feeling the smell of straw under the bedding, she fell asleep with peace of mind.

Wu Huihong saw her fall into a deep sleep, and a trace of sadness, nostalgia, and guilt flashed in her eyes.

Then he stretched out his rough palm and caressed her cheek lovingly.

"Sleep in peace."

Everyone has an unspeakable secret hidden in their hearts, not that they can't say it, but that they don't have the right time to say it.

Shu Nuan moved her head as if she had realized something, buried her cheeks in the soft quilt, and fell into a deeper sleep.
