Yuan Xinlan didn't know what her niece was thinking, but continued, "When I went to the city to buy goods, the proprietress and the boss took turns, and this time the proprietress followed the car, so I took this car." ”

Yuan suddenly realized.

"Sister-in-law, then be careful on the road."

"Hmm." Yuan Xinlan nodded, "What do you want to bring?" In addition to the practice book of good words and sentences, and the selection of essays, what else? ”

She said, poking Yuan Youwei's arm, "Raise your hand higher, the yarn is about to drag to the ground." ”

Yuan raised his hand slightly, "Sister-in-law, then you can see if there is a big dictionary, bring me one." ”

"Okay." Yuan Xinlan wrapped the yarn and responded with a smile, "In addition to these, sister-in-law will see if there are any other books when she arrives, and I will bring them back for you." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Silly girl, what is there to thank you for! If you study hard, you will be rewarded to your sister-in-law. ”

"I know, sister-in-law."

……

The next day, it was still before dawn.

Yuan was slightly dazed, and there were some sounds outside.

As the day of the fire drew nearer, Yuan Youwei had become much more vigilant recently.

As soon as she heard these sounds, she got up in a hurry, and before she had time to put on her shoes, she rushed out of the east hall.

It was dark, and Yuan squinted slightly at the location of the sound.

There was a familiar figure fetching water at the well.

Yuan said tentatively, "Sister-in-law? ”

Water was gently poured into the bucket, apparently for fear of waking up the sleeping man.

Yuan Xinlan didn't hear her niece's voice until Yuan raised her voice slightly and screamed again.

She thought something was wrong, so she hurriedly threw down the well bucket and ran over, and when she saw her niece's barefoot, she hurriedly said, "Youyou, what's wrong?" ”

Yuan Youwei saw Yuan Xinlan clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyes and said, "It's okay, I thought it wasn't you, sister-in-law." ”

"Woke you up? It's still early, go back to the house, it's autumn, so as not to catch a cold! ”

"Sister-in-law, remember to leave after eating, and bring some food and water."

"My sister-in-law is such a big person, I know how to take care of myself, you hurry back to the house."

Yuan Xinlan pushed her niece back to the east hall, and she went back to work.

Yuan Youwei lay on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling, and couldn't sleep for a while.

Listening to the noise outside fade away, she fell asleep again in a daze.

I don't know how long it took for her to wake up with a stirring spirit.

It seems to have been in a dream.

The dream is a stone house that has been burned beyond recognition by the flames.

Yuan touched his back slightly, and his clothes were all soaked.

She got up, picked out the clothes she wanted to wear from the small wooden cabinet of primary colors, changed them, and pulled her slippers out of the house.

The sun has risen, and it's another bright day.

The cement has been swept clean by Yuan Xinlan.

Yuan went to the kitchen again and boiled the water.

Then, he simply took off his slippers and walked backwards a few times barefoot on the cement ridge.

I went to the laundry table by the well again, stretched my limbs and pressed my legs.

After showering, lift the lid of the cauldron on the stovetop.

Inside was the warm breakfast and dishes that Yuan Xinlan had put on.

Yuan went around to the stove again, extinguished the small fire inside, and then started eating breakfast.

Halfway through eating, an aunt came over to make soy sauce, and by the way, she asked where the sister-in-law was, and praised Yuan and said a few words before leaving with the soy sauce.

Yuan Youwei stripped the rice, cleaned up the kitchen, and went to open the door of the commissary.

Although Yuan Xinlan said last night that she could take a day off, Yuan had nothing to do, so it was better to visit the store to pass the time.

And they are all from the village, even if the commissary is closed, as long as there are people in the house, people who want to buy things will still come to buy things.

No, as soon as I opened the door, an uncle who bought flour came.
