I saw that his face was flushed, and his originally delicate eyebrows and eyes showed a ferocity like a beast at this moment. The collar of his shirt had been tugged at by him, and he stumbled towards the bed. He Tu stood up suddenly, looked at Cheng Jiahua who fell on the bed, and was at a loss for a moment.

"What are you looking for?" Cheng Jiahua glanced at her unhappily, "I want to wash my face." ”

"Wash your face?" He asked blankly, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly said, "Oh, good. ”

"The basin is over there, the kettle is over there." Cheng Jiahua pointed, and when Hetu picked up the kettle and poured water into the basin, he poured it backwards with confidence. He Tu stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, and felt that it was just right, so he turned around and asked him to get up and wash his face, never thinking that Cheng Jiahua had already fallen asleep, and he was slightly drunk. He Tu looked at him blankly, holding the basin in his hand, not knowing what to do.

"Forget it, I'll wash it for him." After being stunned for a long time, Hetu thought helplessly. She put down the basin, took off the towel on the basin rack and soaked it in water, sat on the head of the bed and gently wiped Cheng Jiahua's face. Asleep, he seemed very quiet, like a wounded child, curling up with all his might, trying to hide the softest part. He Tu stared at him blankly, and his face had begun to redden. She hurriedly jumped out of bed, hung up the towel back, and picked up the basin to splash the water. There were a few women in the courtyard who were busy in the light, tidying up the mess of dishes and chopsticks on the empty tables. When they saw Hetu come out, they all covered their mouths and laughed. He didn't understand what they were laughing at, but lowered his head and splashed the water away, and quickly turned and went into the house. She closed the door, her heart pounding, not knowing what they were laughing at. "Maybe it's something on my face." She thought about it, and hurriedly brought her face to the mirror, but the face was tender and clean, and there was nothing dirty. Hedi's heart became more and more puzzled. For a moment, she felt as if she had arrived in another world, a strange, palpitating world.

"I don't know if my parents have gone back." While helping Cheng Jiahua take off her shoes, she thought silently, "After the tea, I didn't see their figures, and I don't know where they are now." She put her shoes on the side of the bed and put Cheng Jiahua's legs into the quilt. That's when I started packing my things. She didn't have much clothes, and it was more than enough to pack them all in a wooden box. She took them out one by one and laid them out on the couch, closed the wooden boxes and pushed them under the bed, and then opened the closet to hang all the clothes inside. Unexpectedly, the moment she opened the wardrobe, she was stunned, and her hands even trembled slightly.

The wardrobe is not empty, nor is it Cheng Jiahua's clothes as she imagined, what is hung and folded inside is actually women's clothes, those clothes and pants that are bright in color or exquisite in style, all prove that their owner is a woman who lives a delicate and exquisite life. "Why?" Only these three words echoed in Hedi's mind, if these were Cheng Jiahua's sister Cheng Jiayi's clothes, then they should have packed up last night, why are they still here now? What's more, Cheng Jiayi is only twelve or thirteen years old, so he doesn't look like the owner of these clothes. Don't...... There's another woman living in this house? He Tu couldn't help but shiver, she hurriedly turned her head to look behind her, but except for the sweet Cheng Jiahua who was sleeping on the bed, there was only her standing in front of the wardrobe in a daze, and there was no one else.

"What should I do?" He was hesitant and didn't know what to do with the clothes. She glanced at Cheng Jiahua, hesitated, closed the wardrobe door, held her clothes in both hands, and put them on the sofa, while she sat at the table and removed the hair ornaments from her hair.

This wedding night was very different from what she imagined, although she couldn't say what was different, but she always felt very awkward in her heart. Although the fire in this room was very warm, she always felt that there were a pair of invisible eyes staring at her secretly, vigilant and secretly guarding her. He Tu felt very uncomfortable, she wanted to ask Cheng Jiahua who those clothes belonged to, but he was so drunk that it seemed that thunder could not wake him up. After washing, Hedi took off his shoes and climbed into bed, curled up in the corner. She only took off her coat, but even then, she felt so awkward and full of insecurity lying with a stranger. Cheng Jiahua's turn can wake her up. The night passed like this, and he was almost sleepless, and after the night outside the window gradually receded, he stood up, feeling very tired.

She got out of bed numbly, fetched water and washed her face, trying to live as if she were in her own home. Opening the door, a stream of fresh, cold air rushed into the room, and she took a deep breath and opened her eyes to look out. When I came in yesterday, I couldn't see anything clearly because I was covered with a hijab, and I only saw the whole picture of this courtyard at this time. It was a simple courtyard house with a few bright brick houses facing south and east, and a small two-story building facing the north, next to which there was a carport where a few bicycles and motorcycles were parked. In the middle of the yard was a small garden, in which a few pine trees were planted, and in the cold winter air, the pine needles were still green and hard, shivering slightly in the cold wind. He Tu looked at the small garden and nodded unconsciously, as a way to express his satisfaction with it.

At this time, I heard the creak of a door separated by the wall on the right, and his mother-in-law, Mu Shi, walked out. She was holding a basin in her hand, obviously washed up and poured water. She raised her arm, threw the water from the basin into the small garden, turned and walked back, and suddenly saw Hetu standing at the door, and asked, "Up?" ”

"Hmm." He nodded hurriedly, and prepared to go to the kitchen with the basin. She had to go to the tank and scoop some cold water into the hot water, otherwise the water that had just been poured out of the kettle would be so hot that she couldn't get close to her face.

"Wait." Mu Shi stopped her and raised his hand to point in the direction behind him, "Your kitchen is over there, and your meals will be cooked in your own kitchen in the future." The kitchen over there belongs to your dad, so don't go in if it's okay. ”

"Oh." He nodded dumbly, he didn't expect that there was still such a rule at home. However, she still obediently turned around and walked towards the kitchen that her mother-in-law pointed out to her, and as soon as she reached the door, she heard Mu Shi say: "Hurry up and make breakfast after washing your face later, your father will be busy after eating." After a pause, she continued, "Just do it in the big kitchen." ”

He agreed, and when his mother-in-law went in, he pushed open the door and walked into the kitchen. It was a cramped and cramped room, with a rudimentary pot against the wall, the pot on the pot was a little rusty, and the board was a little dirty, as if no one had used it for a long time. There was also a small iron bed against the wall of the other half, and there was nothing on the bed, and it was casually thrown in the corner.

Hetu found the water tank, but fortunately the water in the tank was full. She quickly scooped up water, washed her face, and went back to her room with a basin. Cheng Jiahua was still asleep, but He Di didn't wake him up, put on his coat and hurriedly ran to the big kitchen to prepare breakfast for his parents-in-law.

When she brought noodles into her in-laws' room, Cheng Tielong was sitting on the kang watching the news, while Mu Shi was sitting on a chair with his head down and busy doing needlework. There was a warm and fragrant smell in the room, and he didn't know what it was, as if he had ordered some incense. She put the noodles on the small kang table, turned around to leave, and suddenly heard Mu Shi say: "I have put your rice and noodles in your small kitchen, and you will use your own for dinner in the future." You don't have to cook with me, you just have to do your own. ”

"Okay." He nodded blankly and looked at Mu Shi, as if he was still waiting for her to speak. Mu Shi glanced up at her, frowned, and said, "Is Jiahua up?" ”

"Not yet."

"Hurry up and wake him up, what is it like."

He nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly turned around and retreated towards the door. By this time, it was already bright outside, and the fog that had just been hazy had also dispersed. There was a soft knock on the door of the hut to the west, and the curtain was lifted, and a girl with a chicken coop head rubbed her eyes and poked her head out.

"It smells so good!" She shouted, spreading her feet and running towards the house from which she had just withdrawn. Startled by her noise, Hedi hurriedly got out of the way. The girl didn't look at her, but ran in, shouting, "I'm hungry!" I'm so hungry! I want to eat! ”

"Oh, slow down!" Mu Shi's voice came from the room, "Toothbrush?" Have you washed your face? With chopsticks! What a habit this fosters. Dirty hands! ”

He pouted and walked to his room. That girl should be Cheng Jiayi, but she ran too fast just now, and He Tu didn't have time to say hello to her. He shook his hand and walked towards his room, the lights in the room were on, but the curtains were still closed.

"Are you awake?" He Di saw Cheng Jiahua propping up half of his body and looking at the door, lowered his head and asked.

"Hmm." Cheng Jiahua looked at her curiously, as if it was the first time he had seen her. It took him a long time before he asked, "Why do you get up so early?" ”

"It's not early." Hedi packed up the couch and table, even though there wasn't anything to clean up on it, "It's past eight o'clock." ”

Cheng Jiahua sighed, sat up and slowly unbuttoned his shirt. Last night he slept all night with his clothes together, and his body was mixed with the smell of wine and an indescribable smell, which was very uncomfortable.

"Then I'll go cook." She wanted to ask about the clothes in the closet, but she opened her mouth and never asked. She turned and walked towards the door, and there was a sound of footsteps fluttering in the courtyard, and when she opened the curtain to look, she saw only two figures floating in front of her, and only a cold wind mixed with the freshness of the boy remained. She took a deep breath and walked in the direction of her kitchenette, ready to make breakfast for herself and Ka Hua.

The kitchenette hadn't been cleaned yet, and there was an old smell of dust everywhere. He hastily cleaned up the pot and found the rations that his mother-in-law had given him for the month - a bag of noodles and a bag of rice by the door. She thought about it and decided to make rice, but where did the food come from? She walked around the kitchen, and she didn't see anything green, how to eat without vegetables, do you eat dry?

He Tu hesitated in place for a long time, but decided to ask Jia Hua. Jia Hua was already up, he had changed into clean clothes, and was crouching on the edge of the garden to brush his teeth. He Tu stood beside him and asked softly, "Well, do you know where to get the food?" ”

"What?" Ka Hua raised his head and looked at her suspiciously.

"Dish." Hedi's face turned red all of a sudden, "I just looked in the kitchen, but I didn't see the food." ”

"Oh." Jia Hua lowered his head expressionlessly, pointed to a small moon cave door next to the small kitchen, and said, "You go inside, there is a vegetable garden inside, you can pick it directly." ”

He Tu had already seen the door, but he felt embarrassed to go in without asking his parents-in-law. As soon as Jia Hua said this, her heart was put down, and she answered and walked towards the door of the Moon Cave.

Unexpectedly, although the door was small, it was a new world inside. In front of us was a neatly paved brick field, with a square in the center of which a pear tree was planted. Further on the stairs is a section of steps, after going down the steps, you can see the very neat cattle pens and sheep pens on both sides, there are dozens of cows and sheep squatting or standing in them, hearing the footsteps of Hedi, they all turned their heads to look at her curiously. He Tu glanced around, and saw only the various fruit trees all over the garden, but not the vegetable garden. "I should have to go ahead." Thinking to herself, she quickened her pace and walked forward.

After walking for more than ten minutes, she felt that she was about to circle the garden before she saw the roof of the shed in front of her. She bit her fingers and tilted her head to look at it for a long time, not sure if this was the vegetable garden that Jia Hua said. Just as she was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from behind her, and a figure walked up to her and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

She turned her head to look at the person beside her, and saw that it was a boy with a green face, although he was tall and his expression was pretending to be calm, she could still tell that he was only about fourteen or fifteen years old this year. He Tu raised his chin towards Dapeng and asked, "That, is it a vegetable garden?" ”

"yes." The boy walked forward. He Tu hurriedly followed him and asked with a smile, "Who are you?" What's your name? ”

"Don't you know?" The boy looked back at her in surprise, but immediately regained his expressionlessness, and when he saw that he shook his head blankly, he said, "Yes, you have just come to our house. My name is Cheng Jiaye, the third in line, you just call me Jiaye. ”

He sighed and asked, "Then the second one?" ”

"You call him Jiaji, the fourth is called Cheng Jiayi. You've seen them all, right? ”

He Tu hurriedly said: "I know Jiayi, I haven't seen Jiaji yet." ”

"Actually, there's nothing to see, anyway, you're a member of our family from now on, and you can see you anytime." Cheng Jiaye said disapprenowly, revealing an adult's demeanor. He Tu originally had a good impression of him, but because the momentum he put on reminded her of her second uncle, that good feeling disappeared like an ethereal mist in an instant.

She silently looked at the endless vegetable garden, which was full of all kinds of vegetables, which was a little dazzling. She bent down to pick a few tomatoes, a few green peppers, a shallot, and a few eggplants, and was ready to go home. She turned her head to look behind her, Cheng Jiaye was still bending down not far away to pick something, she opened her mouth, but she didn't speak, turned around and left.
