Yoshida Mii

Chapter 49

The mushrooms were fried in Mrs. Huang's kitchen, using lard freshly fried at noon, and choosing the best-looking mushrooms picked by Dongbao and Zhaodi in the morning. Flicking back and forth in the bowl, frowning tightly, with a disgusted expression, he didn't eat with his chopsticks for a long time.

Seeing that her son couldn't eat, Huang felt a little sour. The son was at the critical moment of his studies. The family had no money, distracted his son, and couldn't get him something delicious. He really felt wronged. "Eat as much as you want, so you won't wake up hungry in the middle of the night." Mrs. Huang put a chopstick and mushroom in Song Bai's bowl, and said lovingly.

Second Aunt Song put down the chopsticks heavily on the rough porcelain bowl, made a loud noise, and muttered in a low voice with her mouth curled up: "We are all sluts, and what we can't eat is what others don't want to eat." !"

Huang's ears were sharp, and she immediately stared at Second Aunt Song and cursed: "What are you talking about? Speak louder for me!"

"It's nothing." Second Aunt Song was very angry, but she didn't dare to say it in front of Mrs. Huang. After a while, she replied forcefully. She immediately lowered her head and drank the porridge, not daring to say anything more.

If Second Aunt Song hadn't puffed out her stomach, and if Song Bai hadn't been there, Huang would never have let Second Aunt Song go so easily. Seeing that Second Aunt Song had softened, Huang snorted and continued eating.

Mrs. Li sighed slightly, and touched Dong Bao's thin and thin back beside her. Her grandma was so biased, she didn't look like an old man, and Erfang was not convinced.Put it in other people's house, the delicious food will be eaten by the children, put it in the old Song's house, the good things will be reserved for Song Bai, if Song Bai doesn't eat, then it will be left for Da Mao and Er Mao, as for Dong Bao and Zhao Di, what? Well, it's not for the sake of two girls.

The incident on the table did not affect Song Bai. He ate two sorghum pancakes and drank a bowl of porridge with the mushrooms fried in lard. He didn't even look at the dishes.As for Ermao, who was sitting next to him and drooling at the dish in front of him, he didn't even see it.

From Dong Bao's point of view, the reason why Song Bai, who has always been picky and dissatisfied, was not dissatisfied with the dinner was because he was leaving early tomorrow morning, and the dinner was just a makeshift meal. Know, or pretend not to know, he is a scholar, he is naturally the most noble member of the Song family, he should enjoy the best treatment, this is already an axiom, what qualifications does a group of mud legs have to be dissatisfied with?
After cleaning up the dishes, Dong Bao saw that Li Shi's clothes were still wet, and urged Li Shi to take off her clothes and lie down on the bed. She went to boil the hot water for the family at night.

Dong Bao had just lifted two buckets of water into the stove and poured them into the pot when he heard Song Bai's impatient voice at the door of the main room, "Is the water ready?"

"Third Uncle, I just finished tidying up, and the water will be boiled soon." Dong Bao responded in a good voice, not because she wanted to curry favor with Song Bai, but because Mrs. Huang must be standing next to Song Bai. If her tone is not enough Respectful, Mrs. Huang can immediately scold her bloody.

As soon as the words fell, Song Bai opened the curtain and came out, standing with his hands behind his back at the door of the kitchen. Dong Bao looked back at Song Bai in surprise, and heard him muttering dissatisfiedly: "Use a cooking pot to boil water, It doesn't taste like death!"

Dong Bao only felt that three thunderbolts struck down in front of her eyes, and she was really speechless to Song Bai. This delicate Uncle Song should not have been entrusted to come to the farm. Which farmer's family didn't use a big cooking pot to boil water?He still hates the smell of water...

"Boil more water, I want to take a bath at night." Uncle Song ordered.

After staying in the farmhouse for a long time, Dongbao didn't realize it for a moment, "What wooden fish?"

Uncle Song gave Dong Bao a look of contempt and helplessness, and said, "It's just taking a bath! You don't even understand that, huh!"

Well, you are a high-ranking person. Dong Bao walked out of the kitchen with his head down, and brought two buckets of water over.

After the water was boiled, Dong Bao first carried two buckets to the main room, and then before Song Zhaodi came to fetch the water, he brought a bucket of hot water to the east room where she and Mrs. Li lived, and asked Mrs. Li to wipe it with hot water. body.If Song Zhaodi went to fetch the water first, at most there would be a scoop of water at the bottom of the pot for the two of them.

At night, Dong Bao heard Li Shi sighing over and over again, pulled Li Shi's arm and whispered: "Mother, don't worry, it's really impossible, you take me and run away, run away, and never come back."

Mrs. Li forced a smile, "Silly boy, we are from Tagouji. Our roots are here. If we leave here, we don't even know anyone outside. It's hard for foreigners to gain a foothold..."

The ancients moved back to the land, and if they hadn’t lost their lives and had to go out to beg for food, under normal circumstances they would never leave their hometowns. The farthest place Li has been to is Yuanshui Town. In Li’s view, two people who have nothing to do with each other Orphans and widows who are able to earn a living are separated from their families and cannot survive at all.

Dong Bao was silent for a while, what Li said was true, the two of them had no relatives and friends in other places, so they had no place to stay, the ancients had a much stronger concept of territory than modern people, I am afraid it would be difficult for the two of them to gain a foothold.

"Mother, we have to make plans early." Dong Bao said in a low voice, "If it doesn't work, we can only run away. The two of us have hands and feet. As long as we can find a place to settle down, we can live on."

This is the only way out, and Dongbao doesn't know much about this era, and running out is just as dangerous. However, she remembers that Chen Yazi's daughter-in-law, like Chen Yazi, is also engaged in human trafficking, but the division of labor between the husband and wife is different. Chen Yazi runs in several villages where they live, while his wife runs in other villages.

Since a woman can go to the village to run a dental business, the law and order must not be too bad. Dong Bao thought for a long time. After all, this body is just a ten-year-old child. After another day of tiredness, he couldn't bear the sleepiness and sleepy eyelids. Fighting, gradually fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, in a daze, Dong Bao heard Li's tossing and turning and sighing.

Dong Bao and Mrs. Li slept restlessly, and no one in the Lin family slept well. Aunt Qiuxia was very angry with Lin Fu. She ignored him all night and turned her back to him when she slept. Lin Fu was helpless and whispered to him. Aunt Qiuxia said: "I have already paid you a few times, no matter how angry I am, let it go."

Aunt Qiuxia wiped her tears angrily, "How can I calm down? You have said that to Hongzhen, you don't save any face, I am ashamed to see her!"

"Listen to me, I did this for the sake of the child." Lin Fu said helplessly, reaching out to wipe Qiuxia's tears.

Aunt Qiuxia slapped his hand off, and scolded angrily: "It's nice to say, except that the family is poor, and with such a grandma and uncle, what's wrong with Dongbao? Don't you just dislike being poor? ! Not worthy of your old Lin’s son.”

"Am I that kind of person?" Lin Fu was slightly annoyed, and couldn't help raising his voice.

"Keep your voice down!" Aunt Qiuxia hurriedly turned around and scolded in a low voice, "Why are you so loud? Do you have to quarrel father and the two children?"

Lin Fu lowered his voice, and said patiently: "We have been husband and wife for so many years, you still don't know what kind of person I am? You have to put this dirty hat on my head! You, thanks to you talking about your eldest son every day That's good, that's good, you don't even understand your son's mind! Hey, our family has more than one son, why do you have to put Dong Bao and Quan Zi together?"

Aunt Qiuxia was stunned, "You...what do you mean?"

Lin Fu was angry and funny, he put his arms around Aunt Qiuxia and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, they are still young, when the children are older, they will have their own ideas, let's find out what the children are thinking, and then give them Settle down."

"This..." Aunt Qiuxia couldn't tell whether she was surprised or happy, thinking of her handsome and gentle eldest son, "When did this kid have such an idea? Why didn't you tell me! How did you know? "Aunt Qiuxia felt a little uncomfortable, and her son actually told his father not to tell his mother.

Lin Fu smiled and said: "I guessed it too, it's not my mother-in-law who sells melons, there are so many girls in the village, there are not a few who like our son, and I don't see anyone close to him on weekdays, why do I help Dong every day?" Bao cut pigweed? Wherever you go, don’t bring Quan Zi, but Dong Bao... But it’s not necessarily true, our family is big and kind, and maybe it’s poor Dong Bao... Dong Bao’s girl is still young, I reckon Dashi didn't think it through himself, so, after two years, when the children are old enough to make up their minds, we, the parents, can help the children settle down."

"That's fine. It's just that Dashi is four years older than Dongbao, and I'm afraid Hongzhen won't like it." Aunt Qiuxia said, and the misunderstanding with her husband was resolved, and her heart suddenly brightened, and she was very happy.

"Our family is such a good child, what can she not like?" Lin Fu was quite confident in his excellent son, squinting at Aunt Qiuxia who was so happy from ear to ear, and said with a smile: "Why? , are you not angry with me?"

Aunt Qiuxia patted Lin Fu's chest happily, and said with a smile, "Why are you so angry! Am I that narrow-minded person? Don't think me wrong!" Anyway, no matter who Dongbao marries, it will be her Daughter-in-law, can she be unhappy?

Early the next morning, when Dong Bao woke up, it was already dawn, and the rooster raised by the Song family began to crow loudly. The rain outside had stopped. Dong Bao got up from the bed, opened the window at the head of the bed and looked out. The sky is still gloomy, and there is no sign of clearing up.

Usually the Li family is the first one in the entire Song family, but today Dong Bao got up, and the Li family has not woken up until now. Dong Bao pushed Li and shouted: "Mother."

Li Shi still closed her eyes tightly and frowned, as if she was also full of worry in her sleep.

Dong Bao yelled several times before Li Shi responded weakly, his eyes still closed.Dong Bao sensed that something was wrong, reached out his hand to touch Li Shi's forehead, it was a little hot, and panicked, got up and put on clothes quickly, helped Li Shi sit up, worried endlessly, "Mother, you are sick!"
