37.Back door(14)
I was surprised that Xiaotong was still hostile to him before, but he didn't care. But he is not completely temperless, he was brought back by me after a fight with Ah Niu just now, in fact, he was sulking. After three months with him, his little temper is still accurate, he seems to be well-behaved and obedient, but in fact he has a big temper.
But anyone will be angry, and when I go back to the door with my daughter-in-law, first my brother-in-law is unfriendly, and then my mother-in-law treats me coldly, and then I was tricked into going out and beaten. Thinking about this makes me feel distressed again, which is why I want to go back as soon as possible.
Suddenly, I noticed that my mood had changed, and I naturally regarded this place as my home before I got married, but in just three months, I felt that this place had become unfamiliar, especially after Ah Ping was bullied.
I was shaking my head, and Ah Ping and Xiaotong next to me didn't hear what they said, until the corner of their clothes was pulled to Ah Ping's bright eyes, and when they saw his mouth squirming, they came back to their senses, and immediately asked: "What did you say?" ”
After a moment of silence, he replied, "Let's go." ”
He shouldn't have said these two words just now, but I was going to ask, nodded, looked back and said goodbye to my little colleague, and walked out of the room with him. In the hall, A-Niang was bagging the wheat, and when she saw us coming out, she was about to speak, but I preemptively said, "A-Niang, let's go back." She was slightly stunned, "Huh? Returning so early? ”
I knew that he must have wanted to call me and Ah Ping to help her work just now, but I was cut off and didn't know how to bring it up again.
At this moment, Ah Ping suddenly took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and put them on the table, and then said, "Help Xiaotong see a doctor." "Don't say that A-Niang looked confused, even I was surprised, how could he bring silver? The point is, how did he think of giving the silver to A-Niang? And where did he get the money? Ask Widow Liu if she wants it?
With doubts, Ah Ping and I embarked on the return journey, because in the end we still harvested the silver, Ah Niang was satisfied to bring us ten eggs on the road. I estimated that the broken silver that Ah Ping took out at that time must have about five taels, and there must be no problem in paying Xiaotong's consultation fee.
When I got a little farther away from the village, I asked Ah Ping, "Why did you come out with the silver?" ”
But when he looked back at me with a confused expression, he seemed to ask if there was anything wrong with bringing the money out. I had to change the question: "Why did you leave the silver to my mother?" ”
This time he smiled, reached out and stroked the hair that fell from my sideburns, and said, "He's your brother." ”
Others may not understand what he is trying to say, but I understand it when I hear it. What he meant was that because Xiaotong was my younger brother, he left the silver to Ah Niang as a medical fee for Xiaotong.
I squinted slightly, and looked at him for a moment, there was still a bruise on my right cheek, and the corner of my mouth was broken, but he smiled at me brightly. In fact, he understands everything, the sudden arrival of my aunt, the meaning of this trip back to the door and my difficulties, he is not good at expressing it, but he uses practical actions to resolve my embarrassment in his own home. Even in the face of A-Niang's face that finally faded away from sorrow and smiled, even if the smile was because the goal was achieved, I could straighten my back when I left, and I didn't have to be nagged and complained.
The warmth poured into his heart, and he couldn't help but rub his head against his chest twice, took a deep breath of his unique fresh taste, and then raised a smile and said to him: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
