Chapter 6: Overnight stay
Lu Yu pointed to the two adobe houses on the east side of the main house and said, "After my eldest sister got married, the wing room she lived in before has been empty, you go and clean it, let's stay for a few days." ”
Aunt Lu Qi pulled Lu Yu aside and scolded in a low voice: "Yu'er, they are orphans and widows, living here makes people tongue-in!" Stay one night first, and tomorrow we still have to find a way to get them home. ”
Lu Yu smiled, "Mom, you and Dad have always been upright people, who in the village doesn't respect you?" What tongues are you afraid of? Besides, they won't stay for long, and staying here for two days is just a stopgap measure. ”
Hengqiao hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!" We just stayed overnight for two days, and the seventh uncle and seventh aunt could rest assured that my aunt would not stay up for two days, and would come to beg us to go back. ”
Lu Yu smiled faintly, looked at her and said, "You are usually taciturn, and you can't see that you are still clever in your heart. ”
Hengqiao smiled, that's not, the current Hengqiao is not the stuffy gourd Hengqiao sister in the past.
Uncle Lu Qi said: "Don't care about staying for a few nights, anyway, let's stay tonight, otherwise the river will rise tonight, and it will be too dangerous for you to be in the bridge hole." ”
Liu Yumei thanked her for her kindness, and Hengqiao hurriedly led her two younger sisters to clean the two empty houses. Lu Yu's eldest sister graduated from the health school, worked in a hospital in the provincial capital, married to the provincial capital, and rarely came back twice a year.
The Lu family was originally clean, although the eldest sister had not lived here for a long time, and there was not a little bit of dust, just wipe it with a little rag.
The seventh uncle and seventh aunt were kind people, and they also brought them mosquito nets and clean bedding to help make the beds.
"Can four people sleep? Why don't you put the little girl in my room and sleep with me? Aunt Qi asked gently.
Zhao Di Pandi hugged his mother's leg tightly and shook his head together.
Liu Yumei hugged the two girls and said, "It's better to squeeze it, these two girls are afraid of life." ”
Uncle Seven said: "Then I'll move a bamboo bed in, light mosquito coils at night, and I can deal with two nights." ”
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Seven! Hengqiao gratefully agreed.
After hearing Heng Qiao's explanation of the causes and consequences of running away from home, Uncle Seven sighed, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sister Qiao, if there is anything in the future, even if you come to Uncle Seven to call the shots, don't do stupid things anymore!" ”
Heng Qiao nodded heavily: "Hmm! I won't be again, I still have my mother and my sister, I can't leave them behind! ”
"That's right!" Uncle Seven smiled.
Aunt Seven said, "I'll go get some dinner, and you'll all come over for dinner later!" ”
Heng Qiao hurriedly said, "I'll help you!" ”
She asked her mother to boil two pots of hot water on the simple wood stove here, bathed her two younger sisters first, and followed her seventh uncle and seventh aunt to the big stove house on the other side of the main house.
Although Hengqiao's cooking skills are very good, but when she first went to someone else's house, she didn't dare to show off, she lit the fire in the stove and fried the vegetables in the seventh aunt. Although it is coarse tea and light rice, Aunt Qi's cooking skills are very good, Heng Qiaomei and her two younger sisters are very full, only Liu Yumei is too restrained, she carefully eats a bowl of rice, and puts down the dishes and chopsticks.
After a pouring rain, it was dark, Lu Yu turned on the electric light in the stove house and continued to read under the lamp.
When Heng Qiao passed by Lu Yu's side, she glanced at the book in his hand.
Most of the English tomes, Heng Qiao secretly praised. He looks so good when he reads seriously, although she is not as infatuated with this boy as Qiaomei, but it is still good to look at it secretly and delight her body and mind and eyes.
Several villagers came to Lu's house one after another, all of them came to ask Lu Yu for medicine, Lu Yu was full of worries, and sent the villagers away apologetically.
Heng Qiaozheng was puzzled, Lu Yu said to her: "Tell your two sisters, wash your hands before and after meals, don't drink raw water, the village has been suffering from dysentery recently, infected with trouble, the pharmacy is short of medicine, and the standing anti-inflammatory drugs I brought back have also been delivered." ”
"Dysentery?" Bacterial dysentery in autumn, Hengqiao's mind already has a recipe for decoction.
