Chapter 11 - .011 teasing
A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, He Xiaoyun went up to the mountain and did not pick many wild vegetables, but found an ownerless bayberry tree.
Ye Yangmei is not big, only the size of a thumb finger. It hangs red on the branches and makes people drool.
The shorter one was already plucked off. She climbed to the tree and spotted the big and red one. She took it off and put it in her mouth for two breaths, then couldn’t wait to put it in her mouth. The next second, Her face was pulled into a ball.
It’s too sour.
No wonder there are a lot of fruits hanging on the tree, but if they taste better, she won’t be able to pick them up.
But anyway, it was the only kind of fruit that I had eaten these days, He Xiaoyun wrinkled her face and swallowed it wholeheartedly. The bayberry core did not come out. According to the old man, bayberry is a hot fruit, and only if it is eaten with the core will it not get angry.
She didn’t dare to try again after eating one, but looking at the red fruit on the tree, she was reluctant to give up, and finally picked up a pocket and took it home.
Wang Chunhua was packing rice dumplings. Although there were still a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the commune high school was not closed that day. She was afraid that her younger son would not be able to eat the rice dumplings.
When He Xiaoyun stepped into the courtyard with Yangmei, Wei Yuanhang pouted and played in the mud by the small vegetable garden. Wei Jianwei chopped firewood in the courtyard and cooked rice dumplings for a while.
She rolled her eyes, walked towards Wei Jianwei with a smile, picked out a red bayberry from her pocket and handed it to him, “Here.”
Wei Jianwei stopped his work, looked at Yang Mei in front of him, and then at her smile, without moving for a while.
Wei Yuanhang, who was next to him, saw this scene and ran over hurriedly, curiously asked: “What is it? Mom, I want to eat too!”
He pulled He Xiaoyun’s sleeves and stood on tiptoes to look.
Fearing that the little fat man would miss the stuffing, He Xiaoyun didn’t care about anything else, and hurriedly stuffed Yangmei into Wei Jianwei’s mouth. She thought that the other party would not let her succeed, but he didn’t expect that he would really open his mouth to take it.
She was surprised, but soon she was immersed in the anticipation of seeing him ugly, waiting for him to grin with sour teeth, and see how he still spoiled him with an upright face all day long!
But she watched him chew a few mouthfuls and swallowed Yangmei, her expression did not change at all.
“Huh?” He Xiaoyun frowned in confusion, looked at him, and then at the Yangmei in her pocket. What’s the matter? Isn’t his one sour? Could it be that she was unlucky and ate sour?
Wei Yuanhang already yelled in a hurry: “Mom is partial and only feeds Dad!”
He Xiaoyun was wondering. After listening to this, she glanced at him, and said that she would just test him again. This is what you asked for, the little fat man. You cried for a while. Don’t blame your mother for being partial.
She picked the hottest one for Wei Yuanhang.
The child took it, hurriedly put it into his mouth, chewed it, the smile on his face disappeared, chewed it again, his little brows frowned tightly, he did not give up, chewed it again, the whole face was distorted, finally willing Spit out the bayberry, yelling sour: “It’s so terrible, so terrible!”
He Xiaoyun originally wanted to see Wei Jianwei’s jokes, but she couldn’t stop laughing when she saw him. Thinking of the child’s dramatic expression changes just now.
Wei Yuanhang’s cries alarmed Wang Chunhua. She walked out of the kitchen and saw the little grandson blushing and screaming and jumping. The second daughter-in-law was smiling and leaning forward and backward, even the second son’s mouth was smiling. .
She couldn’t talk about her daughter-in-law, but she was not polite to her son, and cursed at the moment: “How old are you, you still lie to the children to play, hurry up and finish the firewood, I will use it soon!”
After speaking, he took Wei Yuanhang to the kitchen and stuffed him with a candied date.
He Xiaoyun held back a smile, and heard Wei Yuanhang pitifully complaining to his grandmother, saying that his father was really bad, so she didn’t tell him so. She couldn’t help but laugh, and was afraid of being heard by Wang Chunhua, she lowered her voice and said to Wei Jianwei: “I heard it, but you are the worst, even children are cheating.”
Wei Jianwei can only bow down to this kind of practice.
The remaining bayberry was washed by He Xiaoyun and placed on Wei Jianwei’s table. The snow-white porcelain bowl is filled with bright red fruits, which is so good-looking, can’t he eat it without changing the color? Eat more then.
Wei Yuanhang’s young heart was traumatized and he stayed beside Wang Chunhua until he had lunch before coming to He Xiaoyun again.
“Mom, why doesn’t the little bug move?” He was holding the box of cabbage butterfly larvae.
He Xiaoyun took a closer look. The insects in the box had grown a lot, and the color had turned turquoise. It was fat and fleshy. It was a bit oozing at first, but after a long time it was a bit weird and cute.
“It’s about to form a pupa, just build a small house to wrap itself up, and the insects will transform secretly in it, and they will become butterflies and fly out in a few days.” She explained to the child.
Wei Yuanhang said: “Why secretly transform, can’t we watch it?”
“You can’t watch it, you will be shy when you see it, and you won’t become a butterfly.”
“Oh…” The child nodded seemingly.
He Xiaoyun asked him to put the wooden box away and leave it alone for a few days, just wait for the butterfly to fly out.
Today is Saturday, and Wei Jianhua arrives home in the afternoon. Wei Yuanhang is very close to this young uncle, and he will be around him as soon as they come back.
Wei Jianhua is also a child’s disposition. He put the child on his shoulders for a while and walked around, and then threw him around for fun. The yard was full of Wei Yuanhang’s chuckles.
“Be careful, don’t fall!” Wang Chunhua didn’t feel relieved.
Feng Qiuyue smiled and said, “Jianhua is well-measured.”
“It’s weird if he could have it.” Wang Chunhua said, thinking of the second son deceiving his little grandson in the morning, she couldn’t help but mumble, “Jianwei is the same as he is. He usually looks quite calm, but he is actually naive. .”
He Xiaoyun quietly spit out her tongue.
A few of them are picking soybeans, picking out the bad ones, and soaking them overnight. Wang Chunhua plans to grind some tofu tomorrow.
After picking the beans, there was no other work to do for a while, so He Xiaoyun went back to the room to read a book.
She picked up the book again, except for Wei Jianwei and Wei Yuanhang, no one knew that Wei Jianwei was not a talkative person, and children didn’t understand it at all. It is very early for the resumption of the college entrance examination policy. He Xiaoyun doesn’t want people to know her plan. Even if someone asks later, she just says that she is suddenly interested in reading.
After a while, Wei Yuanhang ran in after playing profusely, leaning against He Xiaoyun, “Mom…”
He just called her without saying what to do, she was tired and crooked.
She knew it was sleepy. The child would sleep a lot. He woke up early in the morning and played around every day, and consumed a lot of energy. He had to sleep for a while almost every afternoon.
Looking for a towel to wipe off the sweat on Wei Yuanhang’s body, He Xiaoyun took him to the bed, covered the quilt, and patted gently on the quilt with one hand.
Wei Yuanhang quickly fell asleep with sleepy eyes and a daze.
He Xiaoyun sat on the side of the bed and flipped through the book. Wei Jianwei was a little farther away, sitting at the table, the wind of early summer blowing in from outside the door, comfortable and quiet.
The child suddenly uttered a few babbles in his sleep. He Xiaoyun listened intently and found that he was saying “So sour and sour…”
She couldn’t help turning her head to look at Wei Jianwei. He happened to look over, and the two looked at each other for a while, “Puff ha ha ha…”
He Xiaoyun couldn’t help but laughed again.
Wei Jianwei hooked the corner of his mouth, with a smile in his eyes.
“Why is Ersao laughing?” A head suddenly pierced outside the door, and Wei Jianhua walked in, “Where is Xiaohang?”
“He just fell asleep.” He Xiaoyun still smiled.
Wei Jianhua said silently and lowered his voice, “I just heard Ersao smiling, what is so funny?”
If only the second sister-in-law laughed, he wouldn’t be so curious. The key is that the second brother was also laughing, that would be surprising.
He didn’t say it, but when he mentioned it, He Xiaoyun wanted to laugh again, but only said: “Ask your brother.”
Wei Jianhua was secretly surprised. When did the second sister-in-law ever mention the second brother in such a pleasant manner? When he came back last time, he found that the atmosphere between the two brothers and sisters-in-law had changed a lot.
He just noticed it when he walked in. It seemed that as soon as he came in, he became the most surplus person in the whole room. The second sister-in-law smiled and the second brother smiled, so he scratched his head with curiosity.
He couldn’t help but approached Wei Jianwei and said, “Second brother, just tell me.”
Wei Jianwei didn’t look at him, and asked, “Are you busy?”
Wei Jianhua couldn’t help but secretly curled his lips, look at his cold and ruthless brother, look at this attitude toward the enemy’s autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, the difference treatment is fine, the most hateful thing is that he does not hide it at all!
But he didn’t dare to complain, and honestly said: “I’m here to borrow a book from you.”
Wei Jianwei opened the drawer and let him find it himself.
The book was found soon, but Wei Jianhua was still reluctant to go out, dipping, and looking for words, “Second Sister-in-law, what book are you reading?”
“Just take a look,” He Xiaoyun smiled, “I read a few books with your second brother last time. It’s not bad to pass the time when I’m bored.”
Wei Jianhua didn’t want to continue expressing surprise. The second sister-in-law, who has always been extremely pungent, actually read the book like a young intellectual, and regarded that drawer of the book as a treasure. Even if he came to borrow, he could only borrow at most one second brother. But let the second sister-in-law read the book casually, what’s wrong with this world?
He was maligning. When he looked up and saw the bright red bayberry on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, “Where’s the bayberry?”
“Just picked from the mountain in the morning.” He Xiaoyun said.
“I have one?” Wei Jianhua’s paws were ready to move.
He Xiaoyun was about to remind him that it was sour, but when Wei Jianwei nodded, she said, “It tastes good.”
When Wei Jianhua heard it, he didn’t doubt it at all. He picked up one and threw it into his mouth. In an instant, his face wrinkled into dried pickles.
He Xiaoyun was very hard to endure with a smile.
“Second brother, we are brothers, how can you do this—” Wei Jianhua complained.
Wei Jianwei said mercilessly: “Keep your voice down.”
Wei Jianhua felt very wronged.
