Chapter 14: Nightmares
"That's right." An Xiu'er also felt relieved, she was afraid that Zhang Zhen'an would think that God was unfair because of her eyesight problems, and she would gradually become violent, and then she began to like to beat people, and she would definitely be unlucky at that time.
So she must take advantage of the fact that he has not changed in that direction, slowly persuade him, tolerate him with love, make him feel the beauty of life, and gradually become peaceful.
Well, saving Zhang Zhenan is also saving himself, during this time, he must take good care of him, slowly change him, and see that he still cares about himself just now, which means that he is not hopeless, and he will guide him in this direction.
Zhang Zhenan didn't know that An Xiu'er had thought so much in his heart at this moment, if he knew, he would definitely feel stunned, his eyes were much better than before, even if he took off the black veil, there was no big problem, but he was used to wearing it, so he still wore it every day.
An Xiu'er saw that his face was flat, so she began to sew again, the light was just right, she finished sewing the last two stitches, stretched her waist, folded the clothes, put them aside, put the needle and thread away, and then stood up and put the clothes together in the cabinet.
"I've sewn all these clothes for you, so you can wear them later." An Xiu'er said with a smile: "In the future, when I have time, I will embroider flowers on your clothes, so that no one can see that there are patches on this clothes." ”
"Don't be that troublesome." Zhang Zhenan also stood up, walked over to make the bed, and said, "I do things every day, and a piece of clothing won't last long before it will rot, just sew it." ”
"Okay then." An Xiu'er just said casually, she said: "Then when I have time, I will embroider a handkerchief to subsidize the family, you can rest assured, I will not eat and drink in vain." ”
Zhang Zhen'an's eyes sank when he heard this, and his voice became cold, and he said, "What do you mean by this?" Can't I afford to support you? ”
"That's not what I meant, don't get me wrong." An Xiu'er hurriedly explained, and seeing that his face was better, she said to him gently: "Look, if you want to cultivate the vegetable field in the future, there will definitely be no time for fishing, so I just don't want you to work too hard.
Saying that, her voice also lowered, in fact, she just didn't want to eat and drink for nothing, she wanted to make money by herself, so that what she spends, what she uses, and what she buys, so that there will be no pressure, otherwise she is always trembling, always afraid, one day, he suddenly got angry, saying that she ate his clothes and wore his, and beat her for this reason.
It was really that dream that was too real, everything she experienced in the dream became her memory, and the widower in the dream left a shadow on her and taught her not to rely too much on others.
Zhang Zhenan saw that he was depressed, and knew that his tone just now was a little heavy, so he stretched out his hand, originally wanting to pat her shoulder to comfort her, but who expected her to dodge like a wounded little beast......
His hand fell into the air, and her expression was a little stupid, and she said, "I thought you were angry." "If you hit me angrily, I'm definitely going to hide.
"No, go to sleep." Zhang Zhenan sat on the edge of the bed, knowing that at this moment, he should be a reckless man with a strange and violent temper in her heart, but he didn't want to reverse anything, and waited for An Xiu'er to sleep inside, before taking off his coat and lying outside.
An Xiu'er thought that she would be a little unable to sleep, and Clinker fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while, probably because she was too tired after doing too much work during the day today.
But after sleeping for half the night, she had a nightmare, in which the vicious man kept kicking her, grabbing her hair and hitting her against the wall, until at last she had to shrink into the corner, hug herself in a ball, and muttered for mercy: "Don't hit me, don't hit me." ”
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Zhenan opened his eyes when he heard the voice, looked sideways at An Xiu'er, and saw that her eyes were closed, the corners of her eyes were full of tears, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and she muttered in her mouth: "Don't hit me, don't hit me......"
"Nobody hit you." He whispered in her ear, but she was still deep in her own nightmare, and Zhang Zhenan reached out and pushed her, but she didn't react.
"An Xiu'er?" He pushed her again, but her reaction was even greater, Zhang Zhenan had never encountered this situation, he was at a loss for a while, so he just leaned over, grabbed her over, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't beat you." ”
Seeing that she was gradually settling down in his arms, Zhang Zhenan was puzzled, could it be that he had just been a little fierce to her, and she had nightmares at night? He touched his face, was he really so terrible? With a long breath, he decided not to think about it.
The girl in his arms let out a peaceful breathing sound, but Zhang Zhen'an, who was woken up by him, couldn't sleep, anyway, he was more than a round older than her, and he would be gentle with her in the future.
An Xiu'er woke up in the morning and found that she was lying in Zhang Zhen'an's arms, but she was startled, she remembered that he didn't like people to approach, and remembered his gaze that seemed to eat people yesterday morning, so she removed her legs from him, secretly pulled her hand out from under his waist, took his hand away, and then rolled into the bed silently.
When it was late, Zhang Zhenan opened her eyes, and she pretended to have just woken up, and smiled at him: "I said that I slept very peacefully, and I didn't disturb you last night." ”
He actually knew all about her little actions in the morning, but since she thought she didn't know, then she pretended not to know.
"Well, you sleep very peacefully." If you don't cry and scream last night, it will be more stable.
"It's good that I didn't disturb you, then I'll get up and make breakfast for you, and you can sleep again." An Xiu'er climbed out of bed as she spoke, and after helping him tuck the horns, she put on her shoes, put on her clothes, and walked to the kitchen.
After she finished washing, she was ready to cook, but she was a little difficult:
What to eat for breakfast?
If it is a pure white porridge, it will inevitably be a little tasteless, and if there is a stack of small sauerkraut, it may be good, but there is nothing at home.
After thinking about it, An Xiu'er glanced at the egg on the table, and her eyes lit up, why don't you make an egg cake and eat it today, she has long wanted to eat it.
Break the eggs, add flour, stir well, put some sugar, and add some baking powder, so that it will be softer when it eats, knead the stirred flour into a ball, An Xiuer on a whim, skillfully kneaded them into different shapes, there are rabbits, little stars, and little moons.
Originally, I wanted to make egg cakes, but these beautiful patterns were inconvenient to fry, so I simply steamed them out, anyway, I just put baking powder, and I was not afraid of being too hard.
While making a fire and boiling water, An Xiuer found a piece of gauze, there was no steamer at home, so she could only use this bamboo picker instead.
Cover this gauze on this bamboo dough, put all kinds of kneaded small dough on it, cover the pot, and steam it over high heat for a quarter of an hour, and the bread is ready.
Wrapping the noodles into a bowl and serving them to the table, Zhang Zhenan had just finished washing, An Xiu'er smiled and handed a little rabbit to his mouth: "You taste it." ”
Zhang Zhenan stretched out his hand to take it, but she blocked it, shook her head, and only let him open his mouth to taste, this kind of being served to eat is not unheard of by him, but her behavior is completely different from the previous subordinates who served him vegetables.
He couldn't help but open his mouth obediently, and took a bite of her hand, and she waited for him to finish eating before asking, "How is it?" Is it tasty? ”
Zhang Zhen'an saw her pair of snowy eyes, looking at him directly, like a clever little animal, waiting for his answer, his eyes couldn't help but be dyed with two smiles, slightly bowed, and said, "It's delicious." ”
"If you like it, it's fine." An Xiu'er handed the little rabbit bread to him, picked up a bread and took a bite, chewed it twice, frowned, and said, "It's a little hard." ”
After all, the fermentation time was not enough, and then she raised her eyebrows again, "But it's still delicious." ”
Can white flour with eggs not taste good?
So she has to work hard and work hard in the future, and strive to be able to eat such delicious food every day.
Can an ordinary steamed bun make her so satisfied? Zhang Zhenan glanced at her, and suddenly felt that the steamed buns in his hand had become delicious.
After breakfast, Zhang Zhen'an went fishing every day, An Xiuer still handed him the kettle, and said: "You said that you don't like to drink tea, then I won't burn it, so I will cook some mint leaves for you. ”
Zhang Zhenan stretched out his hand to take it and walked out, An Xiu'er sent him to the door as usual, she stood at the door for a while, Zhang Zhenan turned around, she hurriedly waved her hand to him, and said more: "Be careful on the road." ”
Zhang Zhenan turned his head, the corners of his mouth turned up inexplicably, and he didn't even notice it.
When he arrived at his own boat, he loosened the anchor and lazily found a place to cast his net, when he was going to pour himself a glass of wine to drink, but suddenly he saw the bamboo tube on the table, and with a twist of his wrist, he picked up the bamboo tube that was supposed to be holding the wine.
With a flick of his fingers, the cork was flicked open by him, and a hot breath came out of the small spout, he picked it up and took a sip, and drank the warm water into his abdomen, and the warm, cool mint smell melted in his mouth, as if the depression in his body was appeased, and the whole restless heart was settled.
I really think I'm such a violent person, and I even have to put this kind of mint leaf in the water to calm my mind.
Zhang Zhenan shook his head and plugged the spout of the kettle, but the next time, he couldn't help but pick up the bamboo tube and take a sip of water, well, after the water was cold, it was not only cold and cold, but also had a little sweetness, and it seemed to be really better than wine.
An Xiuer washed the dirty clothes of the two at home, cleaned the yard inside and outside the house, and then moved a small stool and sat quietly at the door to embroider.
However, before a small flower was embroidered, a mother-in-law in the village appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
