The semi-circular moon hung in the sky, dotted with a few dim stars, and the moonlight hit the ground through the eaves to reveal an indiscernible shadow.

It was already the tenth day since Mr. left, and the stupid girl folded her hands and counted, "July 28, July 29...... The sixth day of the eighth month, today is the sixth day of the eighth month. ”

I don't know why, maybe it was something that Mr. said before leaving, or because Mr. touched her head, and she was inexplicably looking forward to Mr.'s return.

It's been ten days, why hasn't Mr. come back yet?

The stupid girl sat on the bed and sighed, Xiaoman couldn't help but smile when she saw it, "Don't worry, Mr. will definitely come back, maybe you will be able to see Mr. when you wake up tomorrow morning." ”

"It would be nice if that were the case. The stupid girl held her chin to look at Xiao Man, Xiao Man was holding a pen in the candlelight to draw something, the yellow candlelight shone on her face, leaving a thin shadow on the wall, it seemed to be just a little delicate little girl, holding the pen and frowning and thinking about the appearance of people feeling a little dignified and elegant, as if everyone in the high-walled courtyard looked beautiful.

"Sister Xiaoman, what are you drawing?" The stupid girl crawled over to look, the black ink square frame on the white paper was twisted and twisted, and she couldn't see what was drawn, only vaguely saw the word Qixiang on it, it turned out that Sister Xiaoman not only could draw, but also write, too, after all, before Sister Xiaoman's parents passed away, her family was also a solid family, and her life was quite happy.

Xiaoman put down the pen and gently hugged her into his arms, "I'm painting patterns, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, the moon cake molds in the kitchen last year are old, I draw a few new ones to make molds, make moon cakes to eat." She carefully put away the pen, ink and paper with one hand with a smile, "Do we Ah Wu like to eat moon cakes?"

"I haven't eaten mooncakes. "Stupid girl honestly replied, not to mention eating, she has never seen what moon cakes look like, one because the family is poor and can't afford to buy moon cakes, even if they buy, only dad and eldest brother can taste what moon cakes taste, in memory of the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, that is, to take a few eggs to the elders' house, everyone has a meal together, that is one of the few days when the stupid girl was not hungry in the past.

"Also, how old are you, even if you have eaten it, you will probably forget it a long time ago, it doesn't matter, when the time comes, Sister Xiaoman will secretly hide a few more flavors, and bring them back for you to taste which one you like!" ”

Xiaoman blew out the light, the stupid girl buried herself in the quilt, closed her eyes, but she couldn't sleep over and over, she didn't dare to move anymore for fear of disturbing others, and looked at the old beams on the roof with wide eyes, and faintly felt a little headache.

Hey, it seems that insomnia is getting worse.

In the end, she turned over, turned her back to Xiaoman, and the stupid girl curled up, covered her head with the quilt, covered it tightly, and forced herself to fall asleep quickly.

Finally, it wasn't until dawn that she fell asleep in a blur.

The next morning, she was woken up by Xiaoman, this was the first time she was woken up, and she felt a little novel.

"Get up, little girl, your husband is back, waiting for you to bring him breakfast!" Xiao Man tapped her forehead lightly, forcing the stupid girl to sober up.

As soon as the stupid girl woke up, it was basically impossible to fall asleep again, not to mention the benefits or disadvantages of insomnia, so she quickly got up and washed, and ran to deliver food to Mr.

Mr.'s breakfast is corn porridge and small buns, exuding a sweet fragrance, but for some reason, the parrot's food that is usually prepared with Mr.'s meal is missing, and the stupid girl asked the grandmother who is in charge of the kitchen, and the other party is just slightly silent, and says let her go, it's okay.

The stupid girl carried the food box to the courtyard of Mr., and sure enough, she saw Mr., the same cyan scholar shirt as usual, sitting in front of the window and looking at the green jade bamboo at the tip of the courtyard that had been slightly yellowed, and her eyes were in a daze.

Will the gentleman be in a daze?

The stupid girl felt a little quiet, looked around, and didn't see the parrot with a broken voice, and couldn't help but think of something, and walked a little lighter.

No wonder Mr. is in a daze, it looks like he's in a bad mood, the parrot that Mr. likes so much, it should be gone.

The stupid girl doesn't even feel sad that she was sold by her biological father, and naturally she can't understand the mood of the husband at the moment, but although she can't understand it, she also knows that at this time, she will either be silent or comfort the sad person, and the stupid girl will not be the latter, so it can only be the former.

She quietly put her meal on the table and was about to slip away, when she suddenly heard her husband speak.

"Take it back, I don't want to eat it. ”

The stupid girl didn't know how to answer, so she let out a dry sigh and put the fragrant meal back into the food box.

Xiao Man was not surprised to see her carrying back the motionless food box, "Are you just coming back like this?" Since Mr. is in a bad mood, you should stay and persuade Mr. more and comfort him, otherwise how can you do without eating?"

"But I won't. The stupid girl replied with some hesitation, although Mr. said that he just did it casually and didn't need to remember it, but there was no doubt that he was really good to her, and Mr. was in a bad mood, and she wouldn't even comfort him, which was too unkind.

"Sir likes you, he will listen to whatever you say, don't think about it, persuade Sir to make him happy. Xiao Man persuaded bitterly.

After hesitating for a while, the stupid girl finally agreed, wait until noon, and when she went to deliver the meal at noon, she comforted the gentleman, the stupid girl thought.

But what to say? The stupid girl covered her head and pondered for a long time.

"Take it back, I don't want to eat it. ”

The same plain sentence, even the tone was exactly the same as in the morning, and the gentleman still sat in front of the window, looking at the position of the original birdcage that would no longer hang on it.

"Sir, you'll get sick if you don't eat, so let's eat some. The stupid girl said this sentence nervously.

The gentleman didn't react and ignored her.

Gritting her teeth, the stupid girl closed her eyes and shouted loudly, "Eat, eat!"

Hearing the strange but somewhat familiar emphasis, the gentleman looked back at her in surprise, "What did you just say?"

The stupid girl looked down at her toes, not knowing whether she had done something wrong or wrong, so she had to repeat in a broken voice, "Eat, eat." ”

Poof, he laughed out loud, and the gentleman shook his head angrily and funny, "You, really...... I don't know what to say about you. ”

"So, is the gentleman eating?"

The gentleman nodded helplessly and said, "Come here." ”

The stupid girl went over to put the meal on the table and was about to step back, when the gentleman suddenly asked, "Have you eaten?"

The stupid girl shook her head honestly, and the gentleman came over and took her hand.

"Then sit down and eat together. ”
