Chapter XII
Early the next morning, Hetu was awakened. It wasn't that she had any nightmares, or was woken up by someone, but she was awakened by a sense of pleasure in her heart, and instinctively thought that she shouldn't go back to sleep and waste time. As soon as she got up, she began to dress and fold the quilt, always with a cheerful smile on her face. She took out the cleanest and newest cotton clothes from the cupboard and put them on, and scooped water from the tank to wash her face. Xiuhan was woken up by her movements, looked at her with a pair of confused eyes, and asked, "Why did you get up so early, the bright air outside hasn't come yet." ”
"I can't sleep." He Tu wiped his face with a towel, "Do you want to wash it, I'll mix it with hot water for you." ”
Xiuhan nodded, got up lazily and began to change clothes. He Tu poured out the cold water in the basin, scooped up the cold water again, and poured hot water into the thermos pot. She never used hot water to wash her face, and she poured cold water on her face for many years, and her skin was smoother than that of the city baby. Xiuhan slipped out of bed to wash his face, sat down at the table after washing his face, and applied face oil to his face. He Tu looked at it curiously, and couldn't help asking, "What are you putting on your face?" ”
"Moisturizing and rejuvenating cream." Xiuhan held the crystal clear box and shook it in front of her eyes. The box emitted a refreshing fragrance, stirring Hedi's heart to stir. She has always only used a rod-shaped colorless and odorless skin care oil at home, and she has a greasy touch on her face, but it is especially anti-freeze and anti-chapped skin. He Tu's love for beauty rose, and he asked shyly, "Can I wipe it?" ”
"Yes." Xiuhan rubbed his face, stood up and gave up his position to Hedi, let her sit down, and opened the lid by himself, "You wipe." ”
He carefully picked up a small piece with the tips of his fingers and poked it in the face. Xiuhan smiled: "You wipe more, it's not even enough to wipe the tip of your nose." He picked up another piece with his hand and smeared it on his fair and pink cheeks with his fingertips. She turned her face and looked at her cheeks in the mirror, feeling as if she was more radiant than usual. Xiuhan looked at Hetu in the mirror blankly, and couldn't help but say, "You are good-looking." ”
"Really?" He asked, not taking his eyes off his face in the mirror for a moment. No one in the village said that she was good-looking, and her mother often scolded her for being stupid.
Xiuhan nodded affirmatively, "If you are in our school, you will definitely be at the school flower level." ”
"What's the school girl?"
"She's the best-looking girl in school."
Hetu was overjoyed, she never knew she was so good-looking. Xiuhan pulled out a pen and a cylindrical thing in his bag and drew them on Hedi's face. He Tu obediently let her dress herself, and when Xiuhan clapped her hands and said that she was done, she turned her face to look at herself in the mirror, and found that the originally sparse eyebrows had become thick and shapely, like a distant mountain, and the tail of her eyebrows was slightly upturned. Her lips were also red and bright, like the horns of singing on the stage. Xiuhan raised her hand to untie her long hair tied behind her head, ready to comb her into a nice bun. Seeing that it was still early, she tossed herself, anyway, she thought it was fun, and more importantly, she realized for the first time what kind of level her appearance was in the crowd, although she knew it from Xiuhan's mouth, but she believed what Xiuhan said, if Xiuhan said so, then this must be the truth. He Tu pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled shyly, and kept saying to himself in his heart: "You are the best-looking, you are the school flower." ”
Xiuhan combed all her hair and tied a ponytail high behind her head, but her bangs were obliquely inserted from her forehead into the sideburns next to her, like a proud schoolgirl walking around on the bluestone street during the Republic of China. He Di looked at himself in the mirror and was stunned, gently caressing the oblique, black bangs with his hand, and his eyes were reluctant to leave the mirror for a moment to look better than usual.
"Your hair is also beautiful, thick and dark, unlike mine, which is yellow and fine." Xiuhan shook the end of his hair over to show Hedi, "Look, it's still split ends." ”
He Tu smiled proudly and triumphantly, she was glad that she had a proud appearance, as if she had possessed a strange stone treasure, and this treasure, she had never found before. She didn't know how long she had been sitting in front of the mirror, and it wasn't until Cuiying knocked on the kitchen door that she woke up and hurriedly jumped up and ran out to open the door.
"Haven't you cooked yet?" Cuiying said dissatisfiedly, suddenly seeing Hedi's face and hair, anger immediately filled her cheeks, "Look at you, what did you make yourself look like?" She didn't look like a serious girl at all, so she quickly went to wash me and tied my hair well. She looked around the kitchen angrily, "You were busy with your head and face early in the morning, and you forgot about me and your father, didn't you?" Hurry up and cook! ”
He reluctantly retreated to the back room, hurriedly dismantled the bun at the back of his head, combed all his bangs to the back of his head and tied them into a big braid, wiped off his eyebrows and lips with a towel, and hurriedly ran out to scoop water and noodles. Xiuhan sat on the kang and looked at her figure with a frown, and didn't know how many times she complained about Cuiying. When the children got up, she wanted to help Hedi fold the quilt on the kang, but Herui snatched it and said to her, "I'll come, you go sit outside." ”
Xiuhan's hand was stunned in mid-air, she looked at Herui's thin body struggling to fold the quilt, obviously she was still a child, but her face was as stubborn and mature as an adult, and then looked at Hedi, who was reproached by her mother for dressing up a little, and she deeply felt a kind of unfairness, a deep-rooted unfairness that people take for granted. In this kind of unfairness, they never care about what the person thinks in their hearts, whether they will be hurt by what they do, this kind of psychological activity is ignored by them so that they do not see it, and the person will gradually become numb, feeling that this is a natural and original thing, and then he will give birth to a child, and then use this way to educate his child. Xiuhan felt a burst of creepy, she was glad that her parents were not like this, and she was also glad that she didn't grow up in such an atmosphere. Her parents gave her a free, democratic living environment and made her feel that she was born with human rights. And Hetu and Herui, their human rights are held in their parents and rules and etiquette, and they no longer belong to themselves.
After breakfast, Hedi was busy brushing the pot, and Herui followed her mother to relatives. Xiuhan sat at the table, and before he had read two pages of the book, he was dragged out by Hedi, who had already finished his work. Xiuhan looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why are you in a hurry?" ”
"Herding the sheep, that's not what we've always done." He replied with a grin, his face filled with a stream of brilliance, like a plum blossom that had just bloomed in the ice and snow. Xiuhan smiled and didn't speak, he had completely guessed her thoughts, he didn't want her moths to put out the fire, but because of the rebellious thoughts in his heart, he went away. The two people drove the sheep away in the eyes of Hefu and complaining.
The temperature dropped suddenly, and the wind blowing from the northwest became more violent. Xiuhan was wrapped in a thick scarf on his head and face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, he was wearing a thick felt hat with a family portrait, a thick woven shawl tied around his neck, and a small face was facing him in the cold wind, and his cheeks were red from the wind. Xiuhan hurriedly took out a brand-new unopened mask from his pocket and handed it to Hedi, saying, "You wear it." ”
"What's that?" He Tu took it and looked at it curiously.
"Mask, if your face is blown like this, it won't look good, and it will become very rough."
He Tu felt a pang in her heart, she just learned that she was very good-looking today, but don't look good today. She hurriedly removed the plastic packaging and clumsily put it on her ears, so that her cheeks immediately stopped tingling. The two of them continued to move forward with a grin, Xiuhan didn't feel that this weather was bad at all, she felt that the northwest wind was blowing and made her heart more full of pride.
When the two men drove the sheep to the meadow that was almost half eaten by the sheep, the boy was already sitting under the tree wrapped in a cotton jacket, and not far from him were the two rams, standing with their heads bowed in the cold wind, like two gods full of strange powers.
He Tu silently felt the sheep next to the two rams, and she couldn't see what the expression on her face was under the mask. She sat back by the wall with Xiuhan, and felt that the wind had suddenly subsided, and under the sunlight, they didn't feel very cold, so they took off the shelter from their faces, and they started talking.
Hedi's flushed cheeks were a little bruised, and her gaze looked in the direction of the boy from time to time. Xiuhan said: "You see that he is motionless, is he frozen?" ”
"How so?" He Tu looked at her in surprise, "It's not that cold. However, in her heart, she was worried that the boy would be frozen, just like what Xiuhan said.
"Why don't we call him over, at least it's warm here." Xiuhan said again, with a wicked smile in the corner of his eyes from time to time.
"Then you go and call." He Tu felt a shy cowardice welling up in his heart, and reached out to push Xiuhan. Xiuhan was very arrogant, never twisted, and when he heard Hetu say this, he stood up and walked over. She bent down and pushed the boy, who looked up at her, pulled out two hands from his sleeves, and walked over with a thick branch.
He turned his head away from him, and arrogantly moved his ass to the side, and the boy sat down next to her. Xiuhan was still sitting in his old position, squinting at the two awkward people.
After being silent for a while, the boy spoke, "Why don't you scold today?" ”
"What am I scolding you for no reason?" Hetu still didn't look at him, but she could feel the boy's gaze on the side of her face, and she couldn't help but feel her face burn.
"If you don't scold me, I don't think I'm used to it." The boy smiled stupidly. He Tu turned his head and glanced at him quickly, seeing his smiling eyes narrowed, and two dimples poked out of his cheeks, his heart couldn't help but move fiercely.
"What's your name?" Xiuhan poked his head and asked the boy, "I don't know your name yet?" ”
"My surname is Zhu, and my name is Zhu Hai." Zhu Hai replied honestly, still with a sweet smile on his face.
He Tu snorted and laughed, and said loudly to Xiuhan: "His surname is Zhu, no wonder he looks like a pig." Xiuhan pursed his lips and didn't speak, looking at Zhu Hai's reaction. Zhu Hai scratched the back of his head and said, "Look, you really scolded me." ”
"How can I scold you, I'm just telling the truth." Hetu has become rare with a fast mouth and a quick tongue, and it is very clever. Xiuhan poked his head and asked, "Where do you live?" Why haven't I ever seen you? ”
Zhu Hai pointed to a few scattered houses under the slope and said, "My house is at the bottom of that slope, but I have never been to your village, so you have never seen me." ”
"Do you know which village we belong to?" He Tu squinted at him, his face flushed.
"Can you guess, I'm not a fool, I've grown up running on this hill since I was a child."
"You were born and you were able to run?" He asked again. Zhu Hai shook his head and said honestly: "Where will you run when you are born, you will only lie in the bed." ”
He snorted and laughed again, covering his mouth and laughing on Xiuhan. Zhu Hai didn't know what she was laughing at, and Xiuhan didn't know either, the two of them looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.
This was the first time they had a serious conversation with Zhu Hai, and only then did they understand the situation of Zhu Hai's family. It turned out that there were only two grandchildren in his family, Zhu Hai's parents went out to work, they didn't come back for several years, and there was no letter, the family was all supported by Zhu Hai, and his grandmother was old and couldn't do any work, and the food produced in the small and pitiful land at home could barely support the lives of the grandchildren. Occasionally, when the harvest is bad, there is barely enough to eat. "But fortunately, my father and mother finally came back this year and bought me two sheep." Zhu Hai smiled, "The situation at home is finally better." ”
"How old are you?" Xiu Han was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help asking.
"Eighteen."
"But you can't tell it's eighteen at all." Xiu Han muttered, and suddenly reacted, how could a child's nutrition make him grow into a normal eighteen-year-old in a life where he could barely eat at home.
Zhu Hai kept a smile on his dark face, he looked at Hedi, then at Xiuhan, and asked, "I don't think you are from us." ”
"How do you know?"
"Just look at the clothes you're wearing."
Xiuhan glanced down at the black down jacket on his body, and then looked at the slightly old padded jackets on Zhu Hai and Hedi, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm here to visit relatives." ”
"Which family are your relatives?"
"My grandmother has passed away." Xiuhan said, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he still said with a smile, "Now I live in Hetu's house." ”
"Oh, your name is Hedi?" Zhu Hai's gaze turned to Hetu. He Tu had already felt a little angry because Zhu Hai kept talking to Xiuhan and not talking to herself, and then Zhu Hai suddenly looked at her seriously, her little heart was pounding, and she nodded slightly.
"My name is Xiuhan." Xiuhan said generously, and wanted to stretch out his hand to shake it, but retracted it again.
"You have a nice name." Zhu Hai still looked at Hedi, a pair of big clear eyes looked at her tightly, and there seemed to contain countless deep meanings in them. He Tu lowered his head, did not respond to his words, and suddenly stood up and said, "We are going back." ”
"How long have you been here?" Zhu Hai looked up at her in surprise. He Tu shook his head and said, "On such a cold day, I'm afraid that the sheep will freeze to death." With that, she took a quick step and drove the sheep towards the return road. Xiuhan stood up and followed her, but Zhu Hai grabbed her sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Will you come again tomorrow?" ”
Xiuhan smiled and shook his head, "I don't know, it depends on whether Hetu comes or not." ”
"I think you're the one between the two of you."
"But I'm just here as a guest, and I still have to listen to the host's arrangement for everything." After speaking, Xiuhan pulled out his sleeve, turned around and followed Xiuhan away. Zhu Hai looked at their backs with a little disappointment, his eyes were like Hetu's eyes, and he kept flashing Hetu's oval immature but delicate face, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination, but he felt palpitations for this determination, turned around and dragged his feet slowly around the grass, his thick eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character.
Xiuhan got up early the next morning, and after she cleaned up, Hedi had already made breakfast, and after the family finished eating, Xiuhan stood at the door and waited for Hedi to go out together. She had become accustomed to driving the sheep to that slope every day, and even basking in this natural deep joy. But after washing the dishes, sweeping the floor, and cleaning the back room, he couldn't see the intention of leaving. Xiuhan was impatient, and was about to enter the house to call her, but he ran out, shouting excitedly: "Go and herd the sheep!" Let's go herd the sheep! ”
"Huh? How did you go back together? Are you not going today? Xiuhan looked at Hetu in surprise with a basin of water in the back room. He smiled quietly, shook his head, and walked past her and out the door.
"What's wrong with you? Could it be that Zhu Hai said something yesterday that made you angry? Xiuhan followed behind her, and Hedi's footsteps stopped suddenly, and Xiuhan almost bumped into it.
"No, yesterday was fine."
"Then why aren't you going again today?"
He Tu pursed his lips, thought about it and said, "I just don't think it's good." ”
"What's wrong? I think it's fun, Zhu Hairen is also good, everyone can talk very well. ”
He Tu looked at her seriously and said word by word: "My family has taught me since I was a child that I can't have too much contact with boys. ”
Xiuhan's brows furrowed, and at this moment, she seemed to see the shadow of the green shadow on Hedi. She crossed her arms and sneered, "Why are you like your mother?" ”
He shook his head, indicating that he did not understand her, and turned to go in. Xiuhan stood breathlessly and didn't move for a long time.
In fact, Hetu understood that what she said was just a pretext. The boy's face was still dangling before her eyes, and she felt very happy and happy when she remembered the time she had been with him, and she longed to be with him all the time. But in the bottom of her heart, she was afraid that things would be out of her control and bring severe punishment. She has to work hard to maintain her sensible and obedient self in the eyes of adults, and not let her image be ruined because of one person. Therefore, no matter how eager this mood was, she tried to suppress it, and the moment she succeeded in suppressing it, she almost jumped up and applauded herself.
But how could Xiuhan understand all this? Xiuhan is a straight man, he will act immediately if he has anything to say, and he can never hide things in his heart. However, because her character has never been restricted by the environment, she still maintains an innocent and innocent heart. Xiuhan looked at Hetu with his own eyes, naturally he couldn't understand what Hetu was thinking, the two of them were in two worlds, no matter how friendly the relationship was, they would never have the opportunity to experience each other.
He began to stay at home, sitting at home every day and doing the work in hand. Sometimes Xiuhan finished writing an assignment and looked up and saw that Hedi was still sitting like that, without changing her movements, she couldn't help but admire her, how could she sit motionless for so long. But Hetu felt very happy, so that she could not only think about things, but also hide people's eyes and ears from seeing that her thoughts had drifted into Zhu Hai's bright eyes at this time. A girl who is in full bloom of her heart is full of beautiful fantasies about the future, firm and unswerving.
A week later, Xiuhan packed his bags and went back to the city. He Tu is already very stable at this age, and he will no longer cry and make a fuss because of parting, and he will not let go of Xiuhan. She just held Xiuhan's hand tightly, telling her over and over again that she must remember to come and see her. Xiuhan didn't tire of agreeing, until the car stopped in front of him, and then let go of his hand and got into the car. He Tu stood at the intersection and watched the car gradually move away, and then turned around and walked back.
The temperature is gradually rising, and chickadees can be seen flying around with their little wings spread and standing on the branches and chirping. Heyi Hefu is old, and seeing that the school can no longer provide them with a better education, Jiafu is ready to follow the trend and send his two children to study in the city. There is a boarding middle school in the city, because it is an experimental middle school run by the city, providing assistance for poor children, the tuition fees for two people are still within the affordability of the family family, but it costs some money to eat, because it is a canteen run by the school itself, and each meal is fixed with one meat and two vegetables. Cui Ying thought about simply not letting Heyi go, after all, there was one less person in the family, and the work in the field with one more helper would be relatively easy, and Hefu would be more comfortable in the city. Jiafu sat under the lamp for a long time, drank a pot of tea, and then stood up and said, "Go both." ”
Cui Ying stood up anxiously, "You see that there is not enough manpower in our family now, if it is the autumn harvest, whether the crops in the field can be harvested is still one thing." Heyi is also older this year, and she can help with some work in the field, why do you let her go? A big girl, who can read and write, is already very good, and if she is careful to send it out, she will learn badly. ”
Jiafu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Hetu opened the curtain and walked in from outside, wiping his wet hands on the corners of his clothes, and said: "Let Heyi go, I can also do the work in the field, I can work hard, I can top two people." ”
"What are you talking about, you-"
"Alright." Jiafu interrupted Cuiying's words, "It's so decided, I'll send the two of them to Hexin's house at the beginning of autumn." ”
He happily jumped back into the kitchen room and said to the two little hairy heads who were lying on the bed reading her treasured Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales, "When autumn comes, you will be able to go to the city." ”
"Really?" He Yi jumped up from the kang excitedly, but He Fu didn't react, still bowing his head and flipping through the book, "Sister, can I go too?" ”
"Of course." He Tu looked at Heyi's face that was flushed with excitement, and suddenly remembered when he was still as old as Heyi. If she could go to the city to study like Heyi at that time, it would definitely be very different from now......
"Then can you see Sister Xiuhan too?" The sound of Heyi's words interrupted her thoughts. He Tu dragged He Yi, let her sit beside her, and said, "If you go, you can go to see your sister Xiuhan instead of me, and see what she usually does in the city." ”
"Definitely." He Yi leaned on Hedi's slightly thin arm and said wistfully, "When I learn more words, I'll come back and teach you." ”
"Why are you so happy?" He put the book on his head and lay down stupidly, "I don't think the city is good at all, I still prefer to play in our house." When he was a child, he went to the city twice with Jiafu, and the impression that the city brought him was a noisy and crowded crowd, and everyone had a cold expression on their faces as if someone owed him money. When Hefu was standing next to the tricycle waiting for the family portrait, he was almost abducted by a woman, all of which left a very bad impression on him, he felt that the city was like this, it was not as good as the village, at least everyone in the village was smiling when they saw it, and they never put on an expression that others owed him money.
"Nonsense, it's fun in the city." He Yi took a sip of him, "I heard what Sister Xiuhan said, there are a lot of delicious and fun things in the city." ”
Hefu snorted, got into the quilt and stopped talking. He was gloating, waiting to see what the look on his face would look when he arrived in town and saw the sight he had seen.
When Heyi Hefu officially said goodbye to the teacher at school, Xiuhan came. She carried a large schoolbag on her back and something that looked like a small gourd in her hand, and swaggered towards Hetu's house. It was the hottest time of the day, and he was sitting on a chair under a tree napping, dangling a woven straw fan in his hand. Xiuhan quietly walked in, slipped up to her and screamed, so frightened that He almost fell off her chair. She opened her eyes and looked in amazement at the girl in front of her with long hair and a very short pleated skirt, and she stood proudly in front of Hetu with two long white legs.
"Haha! Scared of me, right? Xiuhan crossed his waist and grinned. She wears a thin T-shirt with a hood on her upper body, and the sky blue underwear can almost be seen underneath. He Tu looked at her in surprise, never expecting that someone would wear such a revealing outfit.
"Oh my God." He sighed and stood up, blushing in shame. She reached out and gently touched Xiuhan's short skirt and said, "It's so short, you dare to wear it." ”
"What's wrong?" Xiuhan looked at her suspiciously, "I wear it like this at home." ”
"Don't you feel ashamed when the other man sees it?"
Xiuhan frowned, and the smile on her face disappeared suddenly, "What are you talking about, what I wear is my freedom, even if I don't wear anything, that's fine." ”
"If you don't wear anything, what kind of world will it become." He Tu glanced down at his body, which was still wearing long sleeves and trousers, and shook his head.
"You know what?" Xiu Han lifted the guitar box on the ground, "Your kind of thinking is feudal and conservative thinking, and it is not open at all, if you go to the city like this, you will be isolated." She was annoyed by Hetu's "shame", and she didn't care about what she said.
"Isolation is isolation." He Tu pursed her lips, "I think it's awkward to dress like this." ”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Cuiying suddenly lifted the thin curtain and walked out of the house. Catching a glimpse of Xiu Han's dress, the expression on her face was even more surprised, staring at Xiu Han and looking up and down. But she didn't say anything, because she wasn't her own child, and she didn't want to worry about it, so she waved her hand and called Xiuhan into the house. Xiuhan entered the house with a calm face, and sat next to Cuiying, the bench was low, she sat down, and the bottoms in her skirt were almost exposed. He Tu sat beside her, staring at her without stopping, and her mouth was slurking.
"You're alone this time?" Cuiying poured water for Xiuhan, smiling on her face, but didn't say anything unpleasant. Xiuhan answered her question, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Cui Ying said vaguely: "Your clothes are very good-looking." ”
Xiuhan blushed, she lowered her head with a smile, and said, "I graduated, my mother told me to wear whatever I wanted, and I could dress up as much as I wanted, as long as I liked." ”
"Then your mother is quite open." Cuiying smiled, "But, with us, you'd better dress a little longer, otherwise everyone else will say mile." ”
"Say what?" Xiu Han looked directly at Cui Ying and asked blankly.
"We countrymen, not as open as you city people, you said that if a boy plays hooligan at you, right, it's not good. And the old men in the village sit at the door every day and gossip, and the children are running around, looking at your two thighs, how embarrassing is this? Cui Ying persuaded bitterly, on the one hand, she didn't like Xiu Han to dress like this, always showing a light and thin look. Second, the countryside people are easy to coax, and even if He Tu doesn't dress up in the village on weekdays, there will be one or two young men following behind, if Xiuhan walks out of her house dressed like this, how can she tell the villagers. After saying this, Cui Ying's face fell in time, and without waiting for Xiuhan to respond, she got up and went out. Xiuhan's face was flushed with shame, and she sat at the table without moving, she recalled that when she walked on the loess road, the roadside people looked sideways at her, stood up suddenly, slammed the curtain and went into the inner room.
"Are you angry?" He Tu slipped in and sat beside her, and said softly, "Although my mother's words are a bit rough, but the truth is that way, you have to follow the local customs." ”
Xiuhan snorted lightly and turned his head to ignore her. After persuading her for a long time, she snorted and said, "You just said that I wasn't ashamed." ”
He sneered, "I thought we were good friends, and good friends just talk about everything." ”
"Really?" Xiuhan turned his head, the blush on his face had receded, "Then do you think I look good in this dress?" ”
"Beautiful, super good-looking." He Tu looked at her, "You're white-skinned too." ”
"I also brought you a dress." Xiuhan excitedly searched in his handbag, and took out a plastic bag sealed sky blue skirt from it, "You try." ”
"Forget it, forget it, let my mother see it and talk about it again." Hedi hurriedly waved her hand, but she still took the skirt over, "But I'll treasure it." ”
In the evening, when she was about to make dinner, Cuiying called Hetu over. She was sitting precariously with a serious expression on her face, and when she saw Hetu come in, she split her head and asked, "Where is she going to live?" ”
"Our family." He Tu replied inexplicably, "Isn't it our house in winter?" ”
"I don't like her, you let her go back to your own house." Cuiying waved her hand with a look of annoyance, "What kind of body is a girl dressed in, she has no shame at all, you look at her, she is still arrogant." ”
"Grandma He's house hasn't been inhabited for a long time, it's all dust, how can I sleep." He Tu said softly, wanting his mother to agree to Xiuhan sleeping in his own house. Emerald Shadow's face became more and more cloudy, and her eyebrows were upside down, like a yaksha about to eat people. He closed his mouth, nodded obediently, and withdrew.
"Oh my God, what do I want to say to Xiuhan." He Tu felt very worried, and exhaled heavily into the sky.
As soon as she walked to the kitchen door, Xiuhan walked out with her bag and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to my grandma's house." ”
"Why are you going?" He Tu looked at Xiuhan's face, and then at the bag in her hand.
"Cleaning and sleeping over there, it's so hot, it's definitely cool in the house."
He Tu carefully observed Xiu Han's face, trying to see if she had heard her mother's conversation with her, but Xiu Han kept smiling and not angry, so He Tu put her mind at ease and reached out to help her carry her luggage, and asked in a fuss, "What is this?" How is it so shaped? ”
"This is a guitar, it's a musical instrument, I'll play it to you when the house is cleaned up later." Xiuhan said excitedly, a faint pink on his cheeks, and took the lead in walking outside with a large schoolbag.
Pushing open the abandoned door again, the weeds inside grew almost half a man's height. The two of them walked in cautiously, for fear that the thorns on the grass would scratch themselves. He Tu shouted: "How can this live people, it is difficult to walk." ”
"It's okay, I'll cut off these roadblocks later." Xiuhan jumped into the room, pushed open the door, and the place where the light shone in was filled with a thick layer of dust, and as soon as the door opened, it all flew up, choking the two of them coughing again and again.
"This kang, you can sleep by sweeping it, and you can live by sweeping it."
"The futon must be damp, I'll go to my house and get you a clean bed later."
"Thank you." Xiuhan pinched Hetu's shoulder vigorously, put down his luggage and began to clean up. He Tu sensitively found that she seemed to be different from when she first arrived, at this time she was excited, diligent, and nimble, not at all like her usual. He looked at her suspiciously, and his hands helped sweep the floor. After cleaning the room, Xiuhan ran out with a knife and said that he was going to mow the grass. He Tu snatched the fruit knife in her hand, crying and laughing, "You will be tired to death if you cut the grass with this knife." ”
"What should I cut it with?"
He Tu turned around and ran out, searched in the storage room for a long time, and finally found a sickle that had rusted and could not see the original color, handed it to Xiuhan, and said, "This is okay." ”
"It's all rusted like this, can you still cut it?"
"You try." He Tu looked at her amusedly, wanting to see what Xiuhan would do next. Xiuhan ran out with the sickle, squatting on the ground and cutting the grass with a serious expression.
"Hey!" He Tu stood on the steps with a rag and shouted at her, "I'll sleep with you at night." ”
"Good!" Xiuhan responded with a smile. She turned her head, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, a deep and dark mist suddenly accumulated in her eyes, and her narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
