Chapter 10 Catching Lice and Killing Fleas (1)
"Mom, I can't sleep! I can't sleep, it's itching to me. Xu Yunqin sat at the head of the bed, his two hands running down his back, scratching desperately. His mother was standing beside his bed, watching her sons' every move.
"Mom, I'm itching too, I can't sleep, I'm itching to death." Jin Xiaoju watched the children get up from the quilt one by one, and felt annoyed: "Is it so itchy?" Let's go to bed tonight, and tomorrow Mom will do the flea killing for you. ”
"Mom, I really can't sleep at night, you see, the lice in this quilt are scratched one by one, and you see that the nails on my hands are full of its corpses." Xu Yunqin stretched out his hand to show his mother.
"The black light is blinding, how can you let me see it now, you go to sleep first, even if it bites the most, it won't bite you to death." Jin Xiaoju interrupted Xu Yunqin's words and said as if threatening.
"Mom, why are you unreasonable, you say you don't bite, why don't you change with your father to sleep on the upstairs bed?" Xu Yuntao was dissatisfied with his mother's coercion of their brothers.
"Now you have to put up with it for me, and tomorrow Mom will find a way to get rid of the lice for you." Jin Xiaoju walked downstairs, but her mother's perfunctory behavior did not make the children feel more comfortable. Yun Tao said to Yun Qin: "Brother, what do you mean by our mother, she doesn't care if we live or die, there are so many fleas, she still forces us to sleep, you will sleep, I won't go to sleep again anyway." Yun Qin also said: "I don't sleep anymore, who can sleep peacefully if I bite people to death like this?" Yuntao asked his brother, "What do you want to do if you don't sleep?" Yun Qin said, I don't know. Yun Tao asked again: "If you don't do anything, don't you still want to sleep?" Yun Qin left the bed and walked gently over and over on the wooden floor. Yun Tao also wanted to imitate his brother's method, Yun Qin didn't let his younger brother get out of bed, and shouted softly: "What are you doing when you get out of bed?" Yuntao said, "You can get out of bed, why can't I get out of bed?" Yun Qin couldn't refute this, so he could only use the big to suppress the small: "I'm my brother, you have to listen to me, if I don't let you get out of bed, you just can't get out of bed." ”
The quarrel between the two children became louder. Xu Zhiguo could only climb the stairs again to teach the child: "You let me be honest, and then make noise with others, beware of me cleaning you up, and go to bed quickly." ”
Xu Zhiguo got into the quilt again: "These children, they are really uneasy, aren't they just a few bed bugs and fleas, it's so worth making a fuss about and not sleeping all night." Jin Xiaoju couldn't sleep for a while, so she sat up and said sarcastically: "The children's cowhide like you Xu Zhiguo can't get into it even if you drill it with an awl." After all, the child has fine skin and tender meat, and a bite is a blood mark. ”
Xu Zhiguo saw that his wife was making fun of himself, and he was about to have a seizure, but he heard the chickens in the chicken coop under the porch start to crow. The chickens in the surrounding neighborhood also crowed along with each other, and the sound came and went. I had to say neither salty nor sweet: "Look, look, the chickens are crowing, and you still don't let people sleep?" ”
Xiao Ju lay on the bed and kicked her husband on the other side with her foot and said, "Tomorrow you go to the agricultural machinery station to buy some 'insecticides', and I will kill lice and fleas for the children." Xu Zhiguo said: "This pesticide is too toxic, you try not to use it." ”
Xiaoju said, "Then do you have any other way?" Other people are using it, and the effect is quite good, you just buy it, I know how much to use, and it will be fine. ”
Before it dawned, the children all ran downstairs, shouting for their parents to get rid of lice and fleas. Jin Xiaoju walked up the stairs, took the quilt down, and hung it on the wire in the yard to beat it.
Xu Zhiguo followed the instructions of his wife Xiaoju, and after getting up, he didn't have time to eat and went to buy "insecticide" pesticides. He Xianxiang has always wanted to help her at the right time because of Xu Zhiguo's help to pick up dung, but this time she saw Jin Xiaoju drying the quilt and catching lice, so she hurried over to help.
He Xianxiang walked to the yard and said to Jin Xiaoju while playing with Xiaoju: "Catching fleas is more difficult than catching lice, I am dizzy, I can only help you catch lice, your eyes are bright and fast, you are responsible for catching fleas." ”
Xiao Ju said: "Auntie, don't come down, the sun is so poisonous, I can't stand the smell of sweat." He Xianxiang smiled and said: "Who hasn't stayed in such a poisonous sun, this is nothing, I'm old and dark, and I'm afraid of the sun?" Xiao Ju didn't force her, and the two faced each other to catch the lice and fleas of the quilt. Every time He Xianxiang caught a lice, he put it in his mouth and bit it with his teeth, and then spit it out with a roll of his tongue. Jin Xiaoju got tired of it, and said to He Xianxiang: "Bohm, what are you eating in your mouth?" He Xianxiang said, "I'm eating meat." Jin Xiaoju said, "Where did you get the meat to eat?" He Xianxiang said: "What kind of meat can it be, lice meat valve!" Jin Xiaoju hurriedly said: "He Bomu, don't put it in your mouth to bite it, I'm tired of it, it can't be eaten." He Xianxiang poked half of his head and said with a smile: "I know it can't be eaten, but I don't have much strength in my hands, and if I catch one, I have to kill it, so I can only use my teeth to help." Jin Xiaoju said: "Then you caught it, I'll knock it for you." He Xianxiang nodded and said, "You can help me knock it, but you must knock it to death, you can't knock it half dead and let it go, so that it will come back to life." ”
At this time, Fang Caihe also went to the yard to catch lice and fleas with them. Fang Caihe said to Jin Xiaoju: "Buy some 'insecticides' to kill it." Xiaoju said: "I asked Zhiguo to buy it in the morning, and when I bought it, I took medicine." He Xianxiang said: "Caihe, you came just in time, help me be a bright eye, I am nominally helping Xiaoju catch lice, but in fact, it is useless, my eyes are not good, and my hands and feet are stupid." ”
Fang Caihe smiled and said to He Xianxiang: "Then don't occupy a position, I'll catch it for you, this poisonous sun will kill, you go, let's go!" ”
Jin Xiaoju also persuaded He Xianxiang not to dry in the yard any longer. He Xianxiang then slapped all aspects of her body, and then walked up the steps back to the house.
Fang Caihe said: "My aunt, you have to pay more attention in the future, she is also a sleek person in the Fang family." The mouth speaks very nicely, but it is difficult to get her practical help. Jin Xiaoju didn't want to discuss these rights and wrongs in the courtyard, so she said: "I just moved to this courtyard to live, and I don't know much about your personality." In addition to getting closer to you, I really need to have more contact with other people. Fang Caihe said: "Do you think that everyone else is like me, they are all so easy to talk to, don't say it, just take my own sister-in-law, she is a particularly snobbish person, and she has a set of nasty hurtful eyes." I don't really like to deal with her, whether to kiss or not to kiss her is not based on the clan relatives, but to see if you can use the value to measure. Jin Xiaoju said: "Your sister-in-law is a busy person, she has no time to do family affairs with you, and if she has time, she will definitely make love to you." Fang Caihe spewed out a cold breath from his nostrils: "Hmph! You don't know, she is a dog who looks down on people, and you will taste the bitterness when the time comes. ”
Fang Caili didn't know when she followed Fang Caihe's ass. At this time, he interjected and said: "Sister Caihe, you always say bad things about others behind your back, when did my mother pretend to help others, you yourself are not a good person, and you still pour dirty water on others." Caihe was taken aback by Caili. immediately came back to his senses: "You learned to eavesdrop on other people's words as a child, who made you chew your tongue without hearing the words clearly?" Fang Caili crossed her hands on her waist and said: "That's what you said yourself, and you still want to be Laipi, I heard it clearly, and I'm going to tell my mother when I go back." Fang Caihe said with a dark face: "Just go and sue the black, I'll be afraid that you won't succeed?" Jin Xiaoju persuaded if there was something better than nothing: "Okay, Xiao Lili, it's not right for you to eavesdrop on other people's words, now that you hear it, don't take it to heart, your sister Caihe didn't say anything bad about your mother, and you don't need to tell your mother to go, okay?" ”
Fang Caili raised her head and said, "You are not from the Fang family, don't you need to rank with me?" Jin Xiaoju smiled and said, "Yes, you can call me by my name or sister or something, or you can call Yunqin." "Caili said, I'll ask my mother when I go to this time, what do you want to call you, and I'll call you now." Jin Xiaoju said: "You can call it whatever you like, say it, do you want to say anything to me?" ”
"Then I'll call you Sister Xiaoju first." Fang Caihe walked home angrily. Jin Xiaoju persuaded Fang Caili to go home as well. Because the sun has already made the quilt hot.
Fang Caili didn't leave immediately, she said to Jin Xiaoju: "Sister Xiaoju, it's not that I'm talkative, although Fang Caihe is many years older than me, but I will call her sister at most, it depends on whether I am in a good mood or not." Jin Xiaoju laughed: "Yes, I know that you are the same generation as her, and it is right to call your sister." Fang Caili said angrily: "I won't be called a sister in the future, she is not worthy." Jin Xiaoju asked her with a smile again: "Then what do you call her in the future?" ”
