Floating Clouds-(12)
The days are fast in the village, the day of the college entrance examination has been set, and the college entrance examination will be held in half a month.
Xiaoyu was a little nervous, in the past few months, she had to coax the children, do housework, and read books, so she lost a lot of weight.
On this day, she took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her mentality, and warned herself to work hard and work hard.
After cheering herself up, she immediately continued to work on the question.
Math is too difficult, she has a hard time doing it, not only math is difficult, but English is also difficult, and the only thing she can know is probably Chinese.
The wind blew occasionally, and the house was clean, but it was a little stuffy.
It's already October, so in the autumn season, if you move around for a while, your back will feel wet.
She calmed down, read the book and did the questions, but the child made a fuss after a while.
The child's milk name is Little Potato, and he is only a little over a year old now, and he has just learned to walk, and it is time to make a fuss.
Xiaoyu had no choice, so she had to hold the child and coax and coax.
She thought about putting the child at her mother's house, so that she could have extra time, but as soon as her parents and eldest brother heard that she was going to study with Jiang Zhidong to take the college entrance examination, they stopped her, saying that she was making a fool of herself at such an age.
Are they all children's mothers?
She was helpless, she knew in her heart what her parents and eldest brother thought, according to the current situation, she is a child's mother at her age, and her family is not very good, and her own man also has to take the college entrance examination, and she is indeed easy to gossip about when she also takes the college entrance examination.
Xiaoyu was helpless, some of her first two brothers had gone to junior high school, but she had only gone to elementary school, and she also wanted to go to junior high school back then, and she was also admitted, but ......
Lucheng, a somewhat patriarchal place, she can't help it, it's okay to influence her parents, at least let her go to elementary school.
Xiaoyu sighed, put the child down, and played with him for a while, seeing that he was tired of playing, she picked up the child and put it on her lap, pointed to the books on the table, and said to the child, "Little potato, mom wants to study, to study, there is still half a month for mom to take a very critical and serious exam, if mom is admitted, you can have a good job without accident, you can easily earn money, and then you can take you to many, many places to play, buy you new clothes, buy you toys." ”
Speaking of toys, her heart was cold.
When she stayed in Lucheng all the time, she didn't know that she could play with so many children, but later she went to the big city and learned that there are so many small toys for children in this world.
When she watched her sister-in-law's children play with relish, she felt a little sour in her heart, her children were also treasures in her eyes, and they were especially cherished, but her children never seemed to have played with any toys.
When Xiao Tudou went to the city with her at the age of twelve, he couldn't speak Mandarin and his skin was yellow, so you can imagine that even if Jiang Zhidong had the money to go to a good school at that time, how could he compare with the children born and raised in Ancheng?
Xiao Yu touched Xiao Tuan's face and choked up a little, "Little Tuo, Mom will definitely work hard and create better conditions for you." ”
As a parent, she is willing to suffer herself, and it doesn't matter if she is bad, but she doesn't want her children to be worse and more miserable than others.
The little potato seemed to feel his mother's emotions, he stretched out his little paws, touched his mother's face, and called his mother without articulate words......
In this way, he really behaved.
He obediently leaned on his mother's arms, looking at the books on the table with a pair of round and clear eyes, quiet and cute.
Only then did Xiaoyu learn with peace of mind.
When she had finished reading the page, she glanced at the child and saw that he had fallen asleep at some point.
With a smile on her lips, she picked up the child and put it on the kang in the next room, pulled a thin blanket over his stomach, and continued to study.
After studying for a while, seeing that it was getting dark and ready for lunch, she cleaned up her mood and got up to go to the kitchen.
The kitchen dishes and chopsticks have not been washed, and the hygiene is not clean.
She found a small half bag of laundry detergent, pressed a bucket of water in the pressurized water well in the yard, washed the rags she made of old clothes at home, and went to the kitchen to take out the dishes, chopsticks, pots and pans.
I also took a broom to clean the kitchen, and the hall was also cleaned, and it took a lot of sweat to clean the whole house.
She scooped up some rice, lit the fire, prepared to boil some porridge, planted vegetables in the backyard, she went to pick a handful of vegetables, peppers, etc., selected vegetables, pressed the water out, washed them, took them into the kitchen and put them in the vegetable basin, took a handful of capers from the saltwater jar in the kitchen, washed them with water, cut them into small pieces, cut the peppers into strips, and prepared to fry them for a while.
is busy day by day, and when Jiang Zhidong comes back, she begins to wash the pot and cook vegetables, stir-fried capers with green peppers, stir-fried vegetables, very ordinary dishes, but very good for rice.
The white porridge has a light taste, and it is good to drink it on such a day, and with a small dish of capers, you can drink two large bowls.
After eating lunch, Jiang Zhidong went out to work, Xiaoyu saw that the child had not woken up yet, so he took advantage of this point to hurry up and study.
Time is pressing, and only a little bit can be squeezed out.
Half-loud, the little potato woke up and made a movement, she heard the sound and quickly got up, picked up the child, went to the backyard thatched house to go to the toilet, and then carried it to the front yard, fetched water for him to wash his hands, gave him a drink, and then fed him warm white porridge.
I don't know if it's because he feels that his mother is busy, he is very obedient today, and after eating, he sits on the kang and obediently pulls the rag doll that Xiaoyu made for him with old clothes.
There were newspapers on the walls, the furniture in the room was pitiful, a half-worn cabinet stood on the wall, and the desk had been moved next door, and there was no other furniture in it.
The rag doll is a bunny, not delicate, but also presentable.
Xiaoyu held a book, sat on the edge of the kang and watched the book and guarded the child.
There was a sudden noise outside the door, and it was her mother's voice. Her own mother's original name was Lin Ya.
Lin Ya was wearing a white floral short-sleeved shirt, a pair of black pants, slightly chubby, about fifty, a round face, her hair was tied up high, and she held a wooden basin in her hand, which contained a grass carp and some water.
"The door of your courtyard is open, and the door of the hall is also open, so I shouldn't call you a few times, this fish is what your father asked me to send for you to taste." ”
Yesterday, the fish pond at home released water to collect fish, and Jiang Zhidong went to help for half a night in the evening, and this morning the neighbor bought fish at her house and nagged, saying why didn't I see her last night and let her son-in-law bring a fish back to eat?
She held her mouth and really forgot, but her husband heard it and hurriedly asked her to send a fish over.
Lin Ya glanced at her daughter's yard, the yard was dry, and some firewood was piled up on the side, and the cleaning was quite clean.
"Xiaoyu, are you not at home?
