Yang Liu Yiyi Volume, 171
(I'm extremely sorry, but I didn't know how to count yesterday when I had a hole in my head, so the content was not affected.) )
The gray-blue bus is like a fat bear, leaving the bus and shaking its big ass and going away. Pastry shops near the end of the afternoon are not doing as well as in the morning; The bakery's sign was replaced with a tan wooden sign with a cup of tea sign on it; The wire and carton of the hardware store will always compete with the shelves of the shoe store next to it for the territory at the door; There are three or four colorful garbage bags next to the big green trash can from morning to night, even if there is no trash in the big trash can at all...... How familiar all this is, Shi Jiaojiao took a deep breath, "I've only been gone for half a month!" ”
Soon, someone on the T-shaped road across the road waved at Shi Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!" Shi Jiaojiao also waved in response, looking left and right across the road. Father Shi seemed to be a little fatter, wearing gray overalls, propping himself on the ground, looking his daughter up and down, "Why is it black like this?" "It's not military training yet!" Father Shi smiled, kicked up the bicycle, Shi Jiaojiao held her father's waist, and saw the opportunity to jump into the back seat skillfully. "Okay, take our Jiaojiao home!"
"My mom isn't home?" Shi Jiaojiao stood by the door and asked her father, who was opening the door. Father Shi pushed open the door, a wave of moisture came to his face, and said, "The factory is going to ship, and I have to go back immediately!" Shi Jiaojiao looked around, looking at the soybean straw that had not been processed in the corner of the wall, the dishes and chopsticks that had not been cleaned in time on the table of the Eight Immortals, etc., and asked, "The factory is very busy?" Dad scratched his head, "It started yesterday, and we also have a holiday on National Day!" This batch of goods can be stored for five or six days. ”
Shi Jiaojiao nodded, unloaded the backpack and put it on the old chair, and said, "Then you should hurry up and go to work overtime!" By the way, Daddy Shi kicked the oilcloth under the soybean stalk to the side and said, "I don't have time to beat the beans, let's talk about it on vacation!" No one is cooking at home today, why don't you go to the factory with your father? Shi Jiaojiao thought for a while and shook her head, "I still don't go, if the people in the factory see me blackened like this, I won't be laughed to death!" Simply burn it yourself. Tell my mom, don't be scared when you come back and see me! Saying that, he laughed first, and Father Shi smiled: "No matter how dark it is, it's also biological, that's okay, I'll go first." About twelve o'clock in the evening, come back with your mother! "yes, okay."
After Dad left, the damp and moldy smell in the room penetrated Shi Jiaojiao's nostrils from all directions, and for the first time since she moved here, she strongly felt the simplicity of this house. This is an irrepressible disappointment, a shelter for emotional longing in the distance, which is in fact so dilapidated; I have imagined the scene of a family reunion many times in my mind, but in fact it is so cold and lonely. Shi Jiaojiao sighed and ran to the kitchen, and found that the rice cooker and wok still had traces of the previous meal, "How is this!" Shi Jiaojiao hid in her room and found that there was not only a musty smell inside, but also the smell of dust that no one had come in for a long time!
"Mom and Dad are just too busy with work, I'm so old, do you still want them to hold and coax?" Shi Jiaojiao advised herself, patted the bed, it was unexpectedly dry, and then she lowered her head and smelled it, it was a refreshing smell of laundry detergent. This smell is so ironed at the moment, and then look at the neat quilt, fluffy pillows, Shi Jiaojiao's neglected hypocrisy dissipated in an instant, "Even if they are busy, they also find time to do this." Shi Jiaojiao clapped her hands and walked to the kitchen.
I checked up and down, and there was nothing to eat at home, and I was really hungry. She definitely steamed a pot of dry rice for herself and went to the field to see what vegetables were to eat. Fortunately, there were still residual tomatoes in the small vegetable garden, and the most fortunate thing was that a seasonal vegetable melon was found in the layers of vines, and the chubby, long melon had a beautiful dark green pattern on its body. Waiting for the time when the rice was cooked, Shi Jiaojiao put the pots and pans away, and when she finished eating and washing the dishes, it was a clean and tidy kitchen again.
Shi Jiaojiao went to the yard behind the house, the small bamboo forest was cleaned up by her father, he cut down the messy fine bamboo, and used these materials to build a beautiful fence, which had grown radishes and lettuce before, and now there are a few okra plants standing in the pavilion. At this point, between Shi Jiaojiao and this house, the thin crack formed in just ten days has been completely closed. She hummed a little tune back to the hall, and the two or three hours of air movement had already taken with her the damp smell of the autumn rain a few days earlier. Shi Jiaojiao looked at the old-fashioned hanging clock on the old offering table, and the second hand "clicked" to twelve o'clock, and immediately struck seven times "dangdang".
Although she set off to the station before dawn with the same school she met in the "Fellow Townsmen's Association", waiting for the train, reversing, and walking all day, Shi Jiaojiao did not feel tired at all at this moment. She turned on the TV, and after the village banned signal receivers like "cauldrons", the family returned to only six stations, and the local station began to broadcast endless song stations as soon as it was dark, and she didn't know that those who sent blessings were real or fake.
Shi Jiaojiao listened to the sound of the TV in the room, moved a small wooden stool and sat next to the soybeans, she first grabbed a few bean stalks, beat them a few times with her father's rubber shoes, smashed out the beans inside, and after confirming that the inside of the pods was clean, she put the bean stalks aside, and then bundled them and threw them in the corridor in front of the door every once in a while, and so on. "Anyway, it's not much, just wash and sleep when you're done!" Shi Jiaojiao thought. The crunch sound of the shoes as soon as they hit the bean stalks shows that the autumn rain was very short, and the beans were exposed to the sun before that.
A round soybean popped out of the pod, jumped on the tarpaulin, and popped out of the ground, "suddenly" rolled out of the distance. Shi Jiaojiao was too lazy to get up, so she straightened her arms and stretched her back, and fished hard with rubber shoes, in fact, this action was much more laborious than standing up and picking it up. Just as her attention was focused on the mischievous bean, there was a conversation at the door, and the sound of bicycle wheels turning. The soybean finally fell into the palm of her hand, and Shi Jiaojiao turned her head to see that Zhong was just after ten o'clock. "Didn't you say at least twelve?" Shi Jiaojiao muttered, and suspiciously picked up the bean straw and came to the door.
Sure enough, Mom and Dad came back. "Ahh Shi's mother asked, "Mom! Shi Jiaojiao threw the straw and screamed stupidly. Father Shi set up his bicycle, followed his mother's words, and asked again, "Ah, what are you doing?" Shi Jiaojiao then piled the things in her arms aside and said, "I'm okay at home alone, let's see if I can smash the beans out, and I can dry them tomorrow!" ”
Shi's mother turned on the door light, walked to her daughter, held her face and looked left and right, her eyes were bright, Shi Jiaojiao was infected by her eyes, and called "Mom" "with great affection", who knew that the woman held her daughter's face to her husband and said with a smile: "You see she is black, and you can't find the dark spots around, haha!" Father Shi held his chin with one hand and agreed, "That is, when I went to pick it up, if she hadn't called Dad, I really wouldn't have recognized it!" Ha ha. Shi Jiaojiao's white eyes are especially obvious against the background of her skin tone: I really misjudged you husband and wife!
"What do you want to be active, how many can't you get on tomorrow's holiday! If you don't wash up and go to bed early, three people will grab the bathroom at this time! Mother Shi lifted the corner of the oilcloth, gathered the beans smashed by Shi Jiaojiao into the middle of the cloth, and counted her in her mouth without appreciation. Shi Jiaojiao passed by with a change of clothes, stood and smiled: "Ah, if I feel distressed, I will say it directly, I want to pretend to be like this!" When Shi's mother heard this, she turned her head and scraped the tip of her daughter's nose, and said angrily: "I will work overtime when you come back, who feels sorry for you!" Shi Jiaojiao ignored it, pouted and twisted her head unconvinced.
Taking a bath seemed to wash away the spirit of the day, and the sleepiness came suddenly, Shi Jiaojiao yawned after chatting with her parents casually, and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow when she returned to the room, and rarely let out a gentle snoring sound. Not long after Shi Jiaojiao fell asleep, her mother walked in wearing old clothes for sleeping, she called her daughter softly twice, and after finding that the other party had fallen asleep, she still turned on the lamp very carefully.
The bluish light fell on the top of the girl's head, and the satin-like hair shone like a silky blue, and gently shone on the girl's calm face, pulling the shadow of the eyelashes long. Mother Shi sat at the head of the bed and gently tucked the blanket that was blocking Shi Jiaojiao's mouth to her chin. The woman looked at her girl for a long time, like a little swallow that flies away in autumn and returns to sing on the beam in spring. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and stroked the child's face very lightly, tears welled up in her eyes, "My Jiaojiao seems to have lost weight." ”
Seeing enough, the mother stroked her daughter's arm through the blanket, turned off the lamp and slowly walked out of the room. Shi Jiaojiao exhaled heavily, she opened her eyes in the dark, and tears flowed under her eye sockets at once. She woke up the moment her mother turned on the light, "Silly mother, I'm not thin at all, I'm just strong!" Shi Jiaojiao thought secretly, stretched out her tongue and licked a little tear, salty is salty, but there is no astringency.
"Sister Jiaojiao, why don't you get up yet? My mom said that lazy worms only lie in bed, and lazy worms are not liked by anyone! The little boy stood beside Shi Jiaojiao's bed and cooed, like an annoying duckling. Shi Jiaojiao said angrily: "You are miserable, I will beat you when I get up!" "I told my aunt to beat you!" The little boy was shocked, Shi Jiaojiao was secretly amused, stretched her waist, and frightened the little boy to shout, "You're going to get up and beat me!" Screaming and running out of the room. Shi Jiaojiao sat up, rubbed her unkempt hair, and laughed.
The rice was ripe in the large field on the other side of the path, and he hung his head shyly, and the golden color echoed the sun, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. Shi Jiaojiao stood in the corridor with a pergola in her hands, looking at the two women sitting together pounding beans, and the little boy next to her was holding a flocculent melon and studying it carefully. Shi Jiaojiao shouted: "Aunt Li, it's really early!" Aunt Li twisted the pod and looked back at Shi Jiaojiao, "Up?" Your brother was clamoring to come and see Jiaojiao yesterday! ”
Shi Jiaojiao grinned, squinted at the little boy, "Xiao Tuanzi is so well-behaved?" The little boy threw away the thing in his hand, picked up a small round melon, didn't look at Shi Jiaojiao, and said, "I don't like you, you will beat me!" "It makes the adults laugh." You don't want my mom to beat me, do you? Shi Jiaojiao continued to tease, the little boy waved his hand, pouted and said seriously, "I lied to you, how much I like you!" But, you've hurt me......" said and covered her heart with her little hand, laughing so hard that Shi Jiaojiao couldn't straighten up.
After laughing, Shi Jiaojiao walked around the room and asked her mother, "Why didn't you see my father?" "He's going to the market to see if there's anything you like to eat!" Shi Jiaojiao nodded, put down the hand that was forked on her waist, and walked to the back of the room, "I'll go brush my teeth and wash my face first!" Shi Jiaojiao turned on the faucet, spit a mouthful of toothpaste foam into the pool, and thought to herself: It seems that Lili will not come today, hey, I missed my mother's good craftsmanship.
