Chapter 15: The Light of Mobile Phones (3)

When Aunt Li came back, she saw her wife drinking water. She casually asked, "Are you calling?" Passing by my wife.

A gust of cold wind blew, making Aunt Li tremble.

"Hey—why are you opening the window so wide? Do you think you're young? It's autumn and the wind is blowing through the hall...... "She took two quick steps and hurriedly closed the window in the kitchen.

Turning around, Aunt Li saw the soup pot on the gas stove.

The base of the stainless steel stockpot is all black, which is very different from before she went out.

"What's going on?" Aunt Li's voice immediately became sharp. As soon as she reached out, she opened the lid and saw the pitch-black bottom.

"Tang Sheng came out. I'll buy a new one later. Uncle Li put down the big teacup and said sullenly.

"You old thing! I'll let you look at it! You know how to put the soup out at noon, but you don't know how to turn off the fire? I'm going to teach you this, huh? You're confused! Aunt Li scolded angrily, so angry that her chest fell together. With a flick of her hand, she put the lid back on the pot with a crunching sound. She kept talking, still asking, "Where's the soup?" Where are you? Is that big soup bowl used? Did you know that the soup bowl is placed here? Don't give me a few small bowls......"

"...... in the fridge"

Aunt Li took three steps and made two steps, rushed directly to the refrigerator, and opened the refrigerator door.

The cold air came to my face, and at the same time, there was a smell of burning.

Aunt Li had a dark face and brought out the big soup bowl. Without opening the lid, the glass bowl directly allowed Aunt Li to see the black ingredients inside, which was completely different from the situation she expected.

It's because the whole pot is burned, and her wife brings out the contents of it!

What a lack of heart!

"It's all burned like this, and you're still pretending? You old man......" Aunt Li exhaled and put the bowl heavily on the table.

She had a fire in her stomach and didn't know how to send it out.

"Who is this for to eat? Do you eat? Have you eaten lunch? Aunt Li scolded while cleaning up the mess.

Uncle Li shook his head silently beside him. Aunt Li hadn't looked at him before, but now she turned her head and glared at him, and he shook his head again.

"You've been on the phone all day, huh? I'm begging you. You're old, you don't eat lunch, don't you know you're hungry? If you're starving, forget it, don't have an upset stomach and shout for me to take you to the hospital. Aunt Li chattered and turned on the rice cooker.

The rice is neatly spread out in the pot, and there is still a little warmth.

"Take out the pickles from the fridge." Aunt Li commanded.

"I'll eat some cookies. We'll have dinner later. ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you old man." Aunt Li turned off the rice cooker angrily and went back to clean up the soup bowl.

"Did the old dragon's daughter call you?" Uncle Li stood at the door of the kitchen and didn't leave.

Aunt Li poured out the black bumps in the soup bowl and put the bowl in the sink.

"No, I don't. It's not time to get off work yet. What are you anxious about? It's not for you to run for a funeral, but to notify people quickly. You just celebrated your birthday yesterday, and it's going to be next year for your birthday. Aunt Li said unceremoniously.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. You old woman, that's always the case. Uncle Li lowered his face.

"Go eat your cookies." Aunt Li took a sip without raising her head, turned on the faucet, and washed the dishes.

The sound of the water was rattling.

Uncle Li listened to the familiar sound in the kitchen and went to the living room to look for cookies.

Soon the sound of opera could be heard in the kitchen. Under the poignant soundtrack, the woman's clear voice sang a taste of grief and sorrow.

Uncle Li is also a listener, so he can't help but shake his head along with the voice.

In the next second, Aunt Li's voice sounded, overshadowing the beautiful female voice.

Uncle Li suddenly couldn't eat the biscuits.

He endured it for a while, couldn't bear it anymore, and ran into the kitchen.

"Hey, stop singing, you're singing so badly." Uncle Li hurriedly shouted.

Aunt Li was washing vegetables when she heard the words and stopped.

The sound of opera was still coming from her pocket.

"People sing so well. Just listen to it. Uncle Li said.

"I'm just learning. Only three classes have been taken. Next year, our class will report on the performance and go to the district to participate in the competition. Aunt Li snorted and put the cleaned leafy greens on the cutting board.

She sang along while chopping vegetables, and the rhythm of chopping vegetables, the rhythm of singing and the rhythm of the opera did not match.

Uncle Li wanted to shout to stop again, but he heard the sound of opera and stopped first.

The sound of music came from Aunt Li's pocket, accompanied by a buzzing vibration.

"Why don't you let it go?" Uncle Li asked.

"There's a call coming in." Aunt Li put down the kitchen knife, wiped her hands on her apron, and took out her mobile phone from her pocket.

"Whose phone? Son or daughter? Uncle Li asked.

"It's the old dragon's daughter." Aunt Li glanced at the phone screen, only said one sentence, and then picked up the phone, "Hey, Xiao Jiang!" I'm Aunt Li, yes, yes, it's your father's wife of that old classmate. yes, yes, you came to our house when you were a kid. You were ...... then."

Aunt Li smiled and said in a high-spirited voice.

Uncle Li was a little anxious, and whispered a reminder next to him, "Ask her dad why can't get through on the phone?" Ask her. ”

Aunt Li rolled her eyes, and her expression suddenly froze on her face.

"Let me ask, what do you do......"

"What?!" Aunt Li suddenly had a high octave and a big mouth.

Uncle Li was taken aback, covered his heart, and almost didn't come up in one breath.

"Don't be startled all the time......" he complained, and seeing that Aunt Li didn't listen at all, he had to sigh.

"Really? Yes...... We haven't heard of that...... It's okay, it's okay, it's not necessary. You just take care of things over there. I'll say to the old man...... How can this be? …… Is it? Oh...... yes, huh...... Don't be too sad. You take care of yourself. Well. Uh-huh...... Yes. So be it. Yes...... Well. Aunt Li put away her high-pitched voice and whispered for a while before hanging up the phone.

As soon as the phone hung up, the singing voice fluttered out, which happened to be a crying scene.

Aunt Li pressed the screen and turned off the muffled crying.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Li asked uneasily.

Aunt Li grabbed her mobile phone, pressed it to her chest, and looked at Uncle Li with a complicated expression.

"What do you say? Is it an old dragon...... Uncle Li's heart lifted, "He had a bad leg before and was injured." Isn't it a leg ......?"

"Old man, sit down, sit down and I'll tell you." Aunt Li grabbed Uncle Li's arm and pulled him to the living room.

"I'm sitting down, can you speak?" Uncle Li sat down on the sofa, his hands on his knees, his face tense, and he couldn't take his eyes off Aunt Li.

"Old dragon, he ...... A few months ago, I was gone......" Aunt Li said sadly.
