Chapter 37: The Younger Brother
Banxia put a stick of incense on the tombstone in awe, and said silently in his heart: "Since I have a fate with this child, then in the future, I will definitely starve him to death, don't worry." ”
Banxia had just inserted the incense when suddenly a gust of wind came.
"Is this grandpa talking to me?"
"This is grandpa saying goodbye to you, okay, say goodbye to grandpa, let's go home." Banxia took the child's hand home, bought him three clothes at the ready-to-wear store at the intersection, and saw that it was almost dusk, so he simply didn't think about opening the store, went to buy vegetables, went home and boiled a big pot of water, and let the child bathe first.
"Today you come on the first day, I will help you take a bath, and in the future, I will learn to wash by myself." Banxia saw that the little boy was a little embarrassed, but his hair was clumped, and he must wash it well.
The little boy nodded shyly.
Banxia brought soap horns to wash the little boy's hair, and the moment he just opened his hair, Banxia's whole hair was numb, and the little boy had lice on his head, and the little ones crawled on the entire scalp. Banxia was most afraid of these things, endured the nausea, and used soaphorn to scrub her hair little by little. Wrap your hair with a handkerchief. Start bathing the little boy.
A little beggar like this is often bullied by older children, Banxia looked at the little one and saw that there were no scars on the child's body, it seemed that his grandfather protected him well. Because he didn't eat well, the little boy was so thin that he was only skinny and bones, and Banxia couldn't help but feel distressed. A motherless child is like a grass, and he doesn't know how many sins he has suffered at such a young age.
"Madam, isn't it too dirty, you're not happy." The little boy said timidly.
"You don't need to call me Madame, just call me sister. What's your name? ”
"Grandpa called me Anzi, saying that my mother wanted me to be safe before she died."
"What about your father?"
"I don't have a father, and my grandfather didn't say anything about my father. We didn't live here before, but one day my grandfather came back from outside and was very badly injured and vomited blood, and he took me with him overnight to open the original place, saying that he had come here to find his friend. We walked for a long, long time, and my grandfather was sick all the time, and when we came here, my grandfather died. Anzi wanted to cry again.
"Okay, okay, it's okay, you have a sister now." Banxia then bathed him, the dirt on his body was too thick, Banxia washed three buckets of water before he washed him clean, this look, it is still a beautiful doll born in vain.
Banxia brought him new clothes to change into, and was going to take the old clothes to burn, and I don't know if there were fleas in this thing.
Anzi hurriedly ran over, rummaged through his clothes, took out a small bag, and handed it to Banxia: "This is what my grandfather gave me before he died, saying that with this, I can find my father." But now that I have a sister, I don't want a father, I'll give this to you. Banxia took a look, it was actually a jade pendant, the jade quality was smooth, and it was extraordinary at first glance. Isn't this child's life story simple? Let's take one step at a time.
Banxia put the jade pendant into the bag and handed it to Anzi, "This is your thing, my sister doesn't want yours, put it by yourself." ”
"But I want to give it to my sister. I saw that my sister spent a lot of money today, so my sister will exchange this for silver. ”
"No, my sister still has silver, this is what Anzi will bring to her father in the future."
"He doesn't want me anymore, and I don't want him anymore."
"Maybe Daddy has some troubles." Banxia persuaded hard for a while, and Anzi didn't want a jade pendant, so Banxia had to say: "That sister will help you keep it first, and when I see your father in the future, I will return it to you." ”
Yasuko didn't care.
"You play at home for a while now, and my sister will go to the pharmacy next to you to buy some medicine and kill the little bugs on your head."
Anzi nodded obediently.
Banxia took the tangram sold at the counter for him to play with, and then went out.
Anzi watched Banxia leave. My sister just said that this is home, Yasuko's home. Anzi must be obedient, so that he will not be kicked out.
Anzi smelled the smell on her body, and it smelled as good as her sister's.
Banxia went to the pharmacy and bought 100 copies, asked the doctor how to use them, and went home with the medicine. 100 can kill insects and lice. Hundreds of insects without consuming qi and blood, the most beneficial to people, Banxia returned home Anzi is still playing tangram, from time to time with his hand to scratch his head, I think it is lice, uncomfortable.
Banxia soaked the hundred parts of the tea in sake, then spread them evenly on Yasuko's hair, and then wrapped them tightly with a towel, leaving no gaps.
"This is a drug that is killing small bugs, and it will be uncomfortable on the head, Anzi endures it, and it will be good if the little bugs are killed for a while. My sister is going to cook now, what does Anko like to eat? ”
"I don't know."
"Then my sister boils a porridge with minced meat, then makes a steamed small ribs, and then stir-fried a scrambled egg with tomatoes and shrimp tofu, is it okay for Anzi to wash the tomatoes for her sister?"
"Okay." Anzi responded loudly, he could be considered very useful.
Banxia put the pork ribs in powder sauce, put them in the steamer and start steaming. Watching Anzi carefully wash the tomatoes, he still grinned from time to time, presumably because of the itching on his head, but he remembered Banxia's command not to scratch his head, which can be endured.
Anzi handed the washed tomatoes to Banxia and looked at her again.
"It's okay for my sister to do things here, you can go outside and play."
Anzi ran out, and after a while, he came in again, and sat on the small stool that had just washed the vegetables, playing with the tangram while watching Banxia cook. Children who lack love will be very insecure, and Banxia will follow him.
Half an hour later, Banxia prepared all the materials, took out the fire in the steamed rib stove, took advantage of the light in the sky, held a small bench in the yard, and began to carefully use the grate to Anzi to kill lice and lice eggs, this is a delicate job, Banxia lowered his head and carefully dealt with it, and finally finished it when his neck was sore, and looked through it seriously, to confirm that there was no more left, patted Anzi and washed his hair twice more with soap.
Banxia threw the handkerchief that had just wrapped her hair into the stove and burned it clean, and the numbness disappeared completely, and she hugged Anzi on her lap, "Our little Anzi is a clean baby." ”
Anko buried her head in her neck and smiled shyly.
Anzi and Banxia had dinner together, but he was still very restrained, just drinking porridge. Banxia sandwiched a piece of pork ribs in his bowl: "Is it good to eat some meat, you can't just eat, you have to eat more meat and vegetables to grow taller." ”
Anzi ate the ribs, and Banxia sandwiched some tomatoes for him. No matter what Banxia was clipping, Anzi ate quietly, Banxia estimated that it was almost over, and asked him, "Are you full?" ”
Anzi nodded, and Banxia saw that there was still a little bit of porridge in his bowl, "Then let's drink the last bit of porridge and stop eating, okay." ”
Anzi obediently drank the porridge.
Banxia has never raised a child, but Anzi is really easy to raise, Banxia can be regarded as relieved, fortunately, if it is a bear child, it is estimated that it will have a headache.
Because Anzi came here for the first time, and the person was small, Banxia didn't worry about him sleeping alone, but fortunately, there was a small couch in the bedroom, and Banxia let Anzi sleep on the small couch.
Banxia let him fall asleep first, went to bathe by himself, and when he came out of the bath, he saw that Anzi was still awake, and he didn't get up to play when he was awake, just stared at the roof with his eyes open and didn't move.
Banxia sat on the edge of his bed: "What's the matter, can't you sleep?" ”
"Sister......
"Huh?"
"Will these be all fake, I close my eyes and open them again, is it all gone?"
Banxia suddenly thought of when she was young, and finally one day she saw her father come home, and she didn't sleep at night, she was afraid that it was a dream, but she didn't know how to fall asleep, and when she woke up the next day, her father left again, and then he never saw him again.
That feeling of suffering from gains and losses, and fear of loss, has never been forgotten by Banxia.
"Then you touch your sister's hand, is it warm? Sleep, my sister is in this room, and she will be able to see it tomorrow morning. ”
Anzi didn't speak, and rubbed Banxia's hand like a cute young beast.
"Then sister will tell you a story, and we will go to sleep, okay?"
"Okay."
"Then let's tell the story of a little tadpole looking for his mother, a long, long time ago, there were four little tadpoles, and they didn't see their mother......"
The child sleeps a lot, and the mood fluctuates very much today, Anzi fell asleep without listening to a single story. His hand was still clutching Banxia's sleeve, Banxia was worried about waking him up, so he took off his coat lightly and lay back on the bed.
Raising a child is not an easy task, Banxia took him in with a soft heart today, but I still don't know what to do with the many regulations in the future, if only Gan Sui was here, he must know what to do if he is so smart. I don't know where he went.
Gan Sui was staying in the inn at the moment, Mr. Chuan and Shanchang went out, and before they went out, they also assigned homework to Gan Sui and Lin You.
Lin You remembered scratching his ears and cheeks, and he couldn't write a word for a long time, but when he saw the people of Gansui sprinkled with joy, he wrote a big article at once.
"Brother Gan, help me, I really can't write it."
"That's not good, Mr. Chuan said, you have to do it yourself. But is it that difficult to write only 200 words? ”
"What do you mean by only 200 words, I don't know a lot of words in this book, I have to write reading feelings, I am annoyed to write ten words, let alone write 200, it's really terrible."
"Brother Gan, did you say that the master did they run out to spend all day drinking, eating, drinking and having fun, and deliberately didn't bring us?" Lin Youchao was aggrieved, his imaginary study tour was to eat everywhere, see, and play, who would have imagined that he would be like this now, when he went to a place, he would understand the writing style of a local Confucian, and then imitate and write articles. He had to hurry during the day and study at night, and Lin You felt that he was really haggard.
"Brother Gan, do you still have any jerky made by Xiao Banxia, give me a little."
"What about your own?"
"Mine has already been eaten."
"No, that's mine." It's already quite generous to be able to tolerate your daughter-in-law cooking for others, and you still have to take my share after eating, why don't you go to heaven.
"Don't be so stingy, I don't know what Xiao Banxia is doing now, I really want to go home."
"Shut up. Concentrate on writing articles. After Gan Sui finished speaking, he checked the article he had written. Looking at the bright moon outside the window, he really misses her so much, and he doesn't know what she is doing at the moment? Gan Sui thought about it and took out another piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote: Banxia Qingqing is like a meeting......
