Chapter 55: It's a Nail in the Coffin
On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was cloudless.
Xu Hongping was still the same and got up early.
She washed up and went about her work alone in the kitchen, where the fire burned and was imprinted on the wall—red.
But after a while the fire burned, it went down again.
She raised the torch and blew the fire "poof".
"Mom, how long have you been up!"
"Ahem~" Xu Hongping choked on the cigarette in her throat.
She coughed twice and replied: Erfeng! I just got out of bed too.
Erfeng took a breath and muttered: Mom, I'm going to wash.
Xu Hongping added to the fire and was silent.
After a while, Xu Hongping ran to the stove and washed the stove neatly.
After a few minutes, the firewood in the stove fell.
She took the tongs and went to pick up the firewood.
"Mom! I'll do it! Erfeng strode over.
Xu Hongping said: You go and add fire.
Er Feng took the tongs and slowly added to the fire.
Xu Hongping asked: Erfeng, did you sleep well last night?
Erfeng responded: That's it, I will dream every day when I sleep until the second half of the night.
Xu Hongping continued: What did you dream of in your dreams!
Erfeng replied: The dream is messy······
"Have you ever dreamed of your husband, my new aunt?" Xu Hongping joked:
Erfeng lowered his head and whispered: Mom.
Xu Hongping said: You are not young anymore, what are you shy! When I was your age, I was pregnant with your brother.
"Mom, I'm not married yet, you tell me about having children······" Erfeng interrupted:
"So! You grow a little longer, polish your eyes and find a good in-law. Xu Hongping replied:
Erfeng looked at the pot and called: The rice is about to be cooked into porridge.
Xu Hongping responded: You don't have to interrupt! When it comes to marriage, you change the subject.
Erfeng rushed and said: Mom, you said that you would not interfere with my marriage.
Xu Hongping said: Did I interfere with you!
She waved her little hand and called, "Okay, I won't tell you."
"You bring that strainer." Xu Hongping shouted:
Erfeng handed over the filter and muttered: Give.
Xu Hongping took the filter and ordered: You go outside and bring two eggs in.
Erfeng turned around and ran straight out.
Xu Hongping glanced at the side, learned that Erfeng had left the kitchen, and read: Girl, wow! How long do you want to hide from your mother!
She scooped the rice soup and said softly: The son is not the mother, the daughter is the son-in-law, and there is only a son-in-law in her heart.
"Mom, where are the eggs?" Erfeng took a few eggs and said:
Xu Hongping replied: If you get this, I'll cook it right away.
Erfeng sat down in front of the stove and continued to add fire.
Xu Hongping put a spoonful of oil into the pot, and smoke instantly rose from the pot.
Erfeng smelled the smell of oil smoke, and the whole person smoked as if he was stuck in his neck.
Xu Hongping beat the egg and asked: Erfeng, what's wrong with you?
"Mila".
Erfeng covered his mouth and ran straight out of the door.
"Sister Erfeng, you!" Stone stood at the door of the kitchen and said in surprise:
He walked into the kitchen and asked, "Aunt Tang, what's wrong with Sister Erfeng!" How about her?
Xu Hongping responded: How do I know!
The stone lifted his foot and shouted, "Aunt Tang, I'm going to wash."
"Stone, hurry up, we're going to eat." Erfeng ran back and shouted:
Shi stopped and asked, "Sister Erfeng, you ran so fast just now?"
Erfeng continued: I didn't sleep well last night, and I was a little sick to my stomach.
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, I'll go to the hospital with you later.
Erfeng replied: I'm not sick, why should I go to the hospital!
The stone called: Sister Erfeng is really not sick!
Erfeng replied: It's really not sick.
The stone said: Sister Erfeng, you let me.
Erfeng took two steps back one after another.
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, you come and bring this soup out.
Erfeng responded: Okay.
She picked up the soup and walked slowly.
She had just stepped into the living room.
Her face became hideous.
She put the soup on the table and hurried out of the living room.
"Erfeng came out before me, she wasn't in the living room, where did she go!" Xu Hongping held the tripod in one hand and the dish in the other, and called:
"Mom, are you calling me!" Er Feng took the bowl and went to serve food to everyone.
Xu Hongping turned her head and said: Erfeng, where have you been!
"Aunt Tang, Sister Erfeng, you have worked hard, the stone overslept and almost didn't even catch up with the meal." Stone Road:
Xu Hongping glanced at the stone and replied: The time you got up today - just right, the time after tomorrow - I told you a long time ago that you don't need to get up too early in the morning.
The stone replied: "Aunt Tang, if I sleep like this every day, I will become a pig sooner or later."
Xu Hongping smiled: If you are a pig! That's pretty good, too.
Stone Rush: Not good.
Xu Hongping continued: What's wrong with pigs! The pigs are cute.
The stone replied: If I were a pig! In the winter, someone else will slaughter me.
Xu Hongping pointed to the stone and said with a smile: You!
Erfeng held his stomach and said with a smile: Who dares to kill you! Who dares to eat your meat!
Stone replied: Oh yes!
"Eat, eat, let's talk after eating." Xu Hongping held back her laughter and shouted:
The stone picked up the bowl and said, "My stomach is indeed a little hungry."
Xu Hongping called: Stone, you drink a little more egg soup.
The stone scooped the egg soup and replied: Aunt Tang, Sister Erfeng, you also scoop and drink.
Xu Hongping responded: I rarely drink soup······
"If you don't drink soup, you can catch eggs and eat them." The stone continued:
"You don't have to worry about me, I'll clip it myself if I want to." Xu Hongping replied:
Shi saw Erfeng burying his head and shouted: Sister Erfeng, don't you drink some egg soup.
Erfeng replied: Don't drink it, I have no appetite.
Shi continued: Sister Erfeng, you should go to the hospital for a consultation.
Erfeng didn't say anything, and sandwiched the rice in the bowl one by one.
Xu Hongping put down the dishes and chopsticks and called: I will feed the pigs.
The stone grabbed the road: Aunt Tang, I'll feed the pigs.
Xu Hongping responded: You haven't eaten yet.
The stone took the food in his mouth and said, "I have finished eating."
Xu Hongping argued: In order to feed the pigs, you don't need to gobble it up!
The stone said: I stay at home every day - I have nothing to do, my heart is bored and panicked, only the work of feeding the pigs - I can do it, I can do it, I want to take advantage of this time to move my muscles and bones.
Xu Hongping replied: Stone, you go!
Stone hurried into the kitchen, picked up the bucket and gradually walked out of the house.
Erfeng was about to clean up the table.
Xu Hongping looked at the door and sighed: He is different from your father, he will not be willing to be so bland.
"Oops! My stomach hurts so much, I have to go to the toilet". Erfeng covered his stomach and shouted:
Xu Hongping said: Go quickly.
Erfeng held his little belly and ran out of the living room in a hurry.
Xu Hongping's mind turned, and she whispered: No, in recent days, why have stones been running to the pigsty!
Moreover, Erfeng these days!
Will they not!
She stood up and ran straight to the pigsty.
When she came to the pigsty, she walked lightly.
She put her head into the pigsty and "looked", but there was no one inside.
Then, a faint voice called: Stone, you spread the blanket a little.
"Ahh Stone, you tap, you hurt me. ”
Xu Hongping bit her lip and retreated cautiously.
She walked home, clenched her fists tightly, and said with a smile: Finally, "the nail is in the coffin", more stable than the nail.
Yes!
She ran into the living room and smiled as she put away the dishes and chopsticks.
She picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked all the way to the kitchen.
"Mom, why are you standing in a daze!"
Xu Hongping came back to her senses and replied: Erfeng is back.
Erfeng asked: Mom, you are rarely in a daze, you were just now?
Xu Hongping smiled and asked, "Erfeng, where is the toilet in our house?"
Erfeng responded: Mom, what are you asking about the toilet!
Xu Hongping continued: I'll ask casually.
Erfeng said: Mom, your eyes make people panic.
Xu Hongping said: Erfeng, how about that red carpet!
Erfeng said blankly: Which red carpet!
Xu Hongping said: The one in the pigsty.
Erfeng explained: Mom, I and Shishi, we are not ······
Xu Hongping put her hands on Er Feng and boasted: Er Feng, good place, good place, you can put a stone!
Er Feng exhaled and called: You don't scold me.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Why am I scolding you! I know better than anyone else about you and the stones.
To be honest, I love stones so much that I want them to be my son-in-law.
It's just that there are some things that I have to take care of, and I can't get over the hurdle in my heart.
Besides, you and Stone like each other, I thought you would both do sooner or later!
Unexpectedly, a Lin'er was killed in the middle.
Lin'er stared at the stone with fierce eyes, I'm really worried about you······
"Who told you not to allow the stone and me!" Erfeng replied:
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Xu Hongping continued:
Erfeng said: I have to thank Lin'er! If not for her! I couldn't have progressed so fast with the stones!
Perhaps, we will!
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, you go and get the blanket back, I'll wash it, in the future, you sleep with the stone, your mother is not an old-fashioned person.
Moreover! Stone is my best son-in-law······
"I went." Erfeng turned his head and ran.
"Erfeng, look at the road." Xu Hongping reminded:
When Er Feng walked back to the living room with the red carpet.
She crashed into a rock.
Shi whispered: Sister Erfeng, what are you doing when you take it home!
"I told her to take it back and wash it." Xu Hongping walked over crookedly.
Shi raised his head and replied: Aunt Tang, blanket······
"What do you call me! Shouldn't you change your tune! Xu Hongping interrupted:
The stone felt guilty, just like being a thief, and muttered: Aunt Tang, I love Sister Erfeng, I ······
"If you don't change your mind, I'll marry Erfeng to someone else." Xu Hongping shouted:
"I'm not married." Erfeng put down the red carpet and replied:
Xu Hongping said with a smile: Stinky girl, she turned her elbow out before she passed the door.
The stone slumped and called: Mom, Mom······
Xu Hongping laughed and responded: Ugh!
"Mom, I ······ before" The stone whispered:
"Let's not talk about it before, let's talk about it later." Xu Hongping replied:
"Mom, thank you!" Erfeng took the stone's hand and thanked him:
Xu Hongping said: Erfeng, you haven't bothered me since I was a child······
"Mom, the matter between me and Sister Erfeng has come to this point, I want to ······" Stone shouted:
"Don't think about it, your dad is not at home, it's useless to think about anything!" Xu Hongping continued:
The stone said, "Yes."
"When Dad comes back, we'll set up a few tables." Stone continued:
Xu Hongping argued: It doesn't make much sense to swing and not swing.
One is that the stone's closest relatives are far away.
Second, we don't have many relatives in our family.
What's more, I don't care about the worldly stuff.
Erfeng continued: Mom doesn't care, the stone cares.
Xu Hongping was stunned and said: Then wait for your father to come back.
"Ahh Erfeng rushed out of the door one by one.
Xu Hongping glanced at the stone and hurriedly followed.
Erfeng squatted at the door, spitting and spitting his saliva.
Xu Hongping leaned into Erfeng's ear and said secretly: You have had a few times with the stone (Xu Hongping stretched out two thumbs and ticked each other).
Erfeng said shyly: This ······
Xu Hongping whispered: Mom is from here, what can't you say to your mother!
Erfeng said softly: There have been one or twenty times.
Xu Hongping smiled: Silly boy, you are going to be a mother.
Erfeng said excitedly: I'm going to be a mother, I'm going to be a mother, I told Shi to go.
Xu Hongping smiled: I am still a child.
Erfeng ran into the living room, hugged the stone, and said: Stone, you are going to be a father.
Huh······
