Chapter 13: Night Talk
At the dinner table of the old floating family tonight, everyone has worked hard for that mouthful of eggs!
Especially the rabbits and apricots that no one helped them grab food, and they were so self-reliant that they almost cรจi the plate with chopsticks.
After dinner, in the big house.
"Alas~" Ah Yuan was slimy and half-lying on Fu Dabai's lap and sighed sadly.
Floating White: ......
"What's wrong? Who messed with you? โ
Fu Dabai asked a little distractedly.
He originally wanted to soak his feet comfortably in hot water, but as soon as he finished pouring the water and sat down, Ah Yuan took off his shoes and stood in, and lay on his lap with a familiar way.
The strength that does not see the outside, thanks to the fact that the two are close, otherwise the father's boat would have sunk to the bottom at this time.
But seeing that it was her own daughter, Fu Dabai still decided to perfunctory her.
Ah Yuan just wants someone to make a stubble, and he always wants to talk when he is sharp-tongued, but the content is still the most important:
"Alas~ scrambled eggs are so delicious."
The white eyelids drooped, and I thought about what was going next to the mirror:
"Well, what's the end?"
Ah Yuan smash it, smash it, small mouth:
"I still want to eat it."
"Oh, what's that going on? I'll give you the egg skin and put it in the bed, and you hug it and hurry to sleep, thinking hard at night? โ
Fu Dabai took A-Yuan out and put it on his lap, wiped her feet with a cloth handkerchief, and teased her by the way.
Ah Yuan's shoulders drooped and his mouth curled:
"The egg skin has long been made by my cousin and apricots, and the chewing is rattling, and my mother didn't stop them, scolding them for being hungry and crazy, they can swallow anything, and they can stuff chicken poop into their mouths."
The corners of Fu Dabai's mouth twitched, and he peeked at the Li Shi who was already lying down, and whispered:
"I don't want to learn from them, and I don't want to learn from your mother, the little girl doesn't want to talk about, pee, and fart, and it doesn't work to say poop, it tastes like a smell."
Yuan: "Oh. โ
I promised very quickly, but I couldn't hide my loss, and at a glance, I was about to grasp the essence.
Fu Dabai is a little worried, the unlucky child is not as good as his mouth, how can he learn this thing.
However, Fu Dabai still chose to skip this topic and continued to tease her:
"Ahem, the egg skin is gone, what do you mean? Put your cousin and cousin under the covers? And then in a dream? โ
"Oops!" A-Yuan is really anxious, why is she so sharp-tongued, and her father doesn't understand her anymore,
"I mean, I still want to eat it."
Fu Dabai innocently spread his hands:
"Then I'm going to take your two cousins for you?"
Ah Yuan gritted his little teeth and tried to realize again with a sad face:
"I am, want to eat, want to. Eat! โ
Fu Dabai: "Yes, I want to, I didn't stop you." โ
Ah Yuan twisted unhappily:
"I mean, I eat, I want to eat, the main thing is to eat, not to think."
Fu Dabai looked suddenly enlightened:
"Oh~! You're going to eat scrambled eggs! Aren't they all eaten? I got a taste, and my dad didn't have a trick~"
Fu Dabai soaked Ah Yuan in the cold water, washed his feet hastily, and poured the water into the wooden bucket to prepare for tomorrow's treatment.
Ah Yuan followed behind Fu Dabai:
"Grandma, let's go to grandma's house."
Li's mother's family was quite poor a few years ago, but with the dowry money of the Lao Fu family, the family was relieved.
The rest of the money was taken by Li's brother and sister-in-law to buy chickens, ducks and pig cubs, raised and sold, and the family slowly saved some surplus money.
Li's brother and sister-in-law and father and mother are ashamed of Li's heart, and they want to compensate her when the conditions are good.
Every time Li and Ah Yuan go, they will make a lot of delicious food, and Ah Yuan is reluctant to leave.
Usually, the Li family will also send some rice, flour and meat to the old floating family.
The Zhao family and the Wang family were also short of money back then, and although the Lao Fu family was poor, they gave a lot of dowry money, so they also sold part of the land.
These two people were also in order to save the family's urgency at that time, and it happened that the old Yang family also thought they were good, so the two families were married after discussion.
However, their mother's family is not as lucky as Li's brother and sister-in-law, and the conditions can only be regarded as average, but out of guilt, they will also send some things from time to time.
A few years ago, Li's brother and sister-in-law also asked Li if he wanted to go home, the family had the money to pay back the dowry at that time, and then choose a good family for Li and give him more dowry.
If they are reluctant to talk to the Fu family, even if they buy a boy from the Yaren in exchange for Ah Yuan, and send Fu Dabai to the end of his pension, it is not that he can't jump out, why continue to stay in this fire pit, and he can't eat and dress all day long.
Li's brother and sister-in-law persuaded her for a while, but Li never agreed, and the matter was over.
Later, I don't know who heard about it, and the rumor spread it to Fu Dabai's ears, and now Fu Dabai doesn't like to let Ah Yuan go to Li's mother's house.
But it didn't stop the Li family.
At this time, when I heard that Ah Yuan was worried about the delicious food of my grandmother's house, the rebellious energy of the floating white suddenly came up:
"Tsk, where are you going, don't you just scramble eggs, Dad has a trick, don't worry about your grandma's house, Ming'er and Dad go, Dad will take you to eat."
"Good!" Ah Yuan was happy all of a sudden.
"Go to your fox friends again, and take A-Yuan with you, you don't have enough of one, you have to take A-Yuan and don't learn well."
Li's tone was calm, but the two of them immediately felt the danger.
Ah Yuan shrank his neck and looked at his father: It's up to you, I want to eat scrambled eggs.
Fu Dabai: Unlucky child.
"Ahem, don't you have to change it slowly," Fu Dabai smiled and got into the quilt and leaned next to Li's side, and continued,
"What's more, there is not even some oil and water at home, what has the child lost weight, I will take A-Yuan to meet the meat, and I can bring you some meat to satisfy your hunger."
Li Shi glanced at him, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he didn't have a good air:
"I don't need it, you are embarrassed to say that Ah Yuan is thin, I will say that Ah Yuan will go to her grandmother's house to live for a while, and I will say that her grandmother is sick and misses her.
Let's just this one girl, my mother just guesses what's going on and doesn't care.
As a result, my brother and sister-in-law took people over, and within three days, you turned around and brought people back, so you had to let A-Yuan suffer here. โ
Fu Dabai shrank his neck weakly, and patted his face again:
"I'm not a good face!
When your brother and sister-in-law saw the two of you, they detained it, for fear that the two of you would come back to this fire pit.
Originally, your mother's family thought my family was poor, and then let them know that you two can't even eat scrambled eggs, and you only have one meal a day in winter, so you have to be anxious with me when it's not right.
Even if you don't take you two away, you have to let me go to your house. โ
Lee punched him:
"What are you talking about, my brother and sister-in-law are reasonable, not to mention that your family has a meal in winter or what secrets you get, you already know everything.
That is, no one is rare to spread this gossip. โ
Seeing that Li didn't hold on to the matter of seeing fox friends and dog friends, Fu Dabai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to hug his daughter-in-law and say something else, when Ah Yuan climbed up along the pillow and squeezed between the two.
Fu Dabai's outstretched arm was just pillowed under A-Yuan's head.
Ah Yuan was still not satisfied: "It's not funny, I want my mother to hug." โ
Fu Dabai immediately retracted his arm and said in disgust:
"Tsk, it's annoying, I didn't want to hug you in the first place!"
As soon as Li pulled Ah Yuan into his arms with a smile, he listened to Wang outside the house shouting:
"Mother! Mother, come on! My apricots are pulling and spitting, this, how to get this! โ
The whole family that had just laid down got up.
