Chapter 12 - .012 Darkness
Soybeans were soaked overnight, so that they became swollen and swollen. The next day they were taken to the threshing ground and ground into soy juice with a stone mill.
When the soy milk was being boiled, Wei Yuanhang was hovering by the stove, the soy milk was boiled, and Wang Chunhua filled him with a bowl and put a small spoonful of sugar.
Just after sending him away, I ordered tofu with white vinegar, and when the bean curd gradually formed, Wei Jianhua came again, just like his three-year-old nephew, peeking into the pot.
Wang Chunhua said in a frustrated voice: “How old is it, still greedy.”
Saying that, I also gave him a bowl of tofu brains, and after thinking about it, I simply served a bowl for everyone in the family and made a special sauce.
The freshly baked tofu flowers are white, tender and slippery, and the fragrance of soybeans is a rare delicacy these days.
He Xiaoyun felt that she was a bit depraved. She was not a greedy person before, but now she wants to have another one after eating a bowl. She touched her belly and sighed that it was all caused by lack of material.
There were more than one who had the same idea as her, and wanted to have another one after eating. Wei Jianhua and Wei Yuanhang took empty bowls and ran to the kitchen again. The smaller one got half a bowl, but the larger one was rejected by Wang Chunhua. He was politely driven out.
Wei Jianhua was not discouraged either, his eyes rolled, and he ran to coax his little nephew.
When the tofu is ready, Wang Chunhua asks He Xiaoyun to give a piece to Aunt Zhang next door. The two families live close to each other. Neighbors will give each other something they usually have.
When Wei Yuanhang heard that he was going to Yanyan’s house, he also came over with her.
Aunt Zhang’s yard is smaller than that of Wei’s. There is also a small vegetable garden in the yard. At this time, she squatted in the vegetable garden to weed. Seeing He Xiaoyun coming to the door, she said: “Yo, what do you give me?”
He Xiaoyun smiled and said, “My mother just made a plate of tofu. I will give you some to taste.”
“Your mother is really, there are so many people in the family, what are you still sending to me?” She said that, Aunt Zhang stood up hurriedly, wiped her hands on the apron, and took He Xiaoyun’s bowl. “This bowl will be cleaned.” I’ll send it to you again.”
“Good.” He Xiaoyun nodded.
With the skill of the two talking, Wei Yuanhang had already ran into the house on his own initiative, looked around inside and outside, and ran out again, “Auntie, where’s Yanyan?”
“You are late,” Aunt Zhang smiled, “Yanyan went to her grandmother’s house with her mother this morning.”
The child said, a little disappointed.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang teased him: “You like Yanyan so much. When you grow up, let her be your daughter-in-law and stay together every day, okay?”
Wei Yuanhang tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and asked, “Is it together during the day and the same at night?”
Aunt Zhang laughed and said, “Of course we have to be together, otherwise how do we call it husband and wife?”
Wei Yuanhang lowered his head to think again.
He Xiaoyun laughed and said, “Auntie-in-law is teasing you. Auntie, let’s go first.”
“Eh eh, you go back first, I will go over to talk to your mother in the afternoon.”
The mother and son left Aunt Zhang’s house. Thinking about this time, there is nothing to do when they go back. He Xiaoyun simply took the child for a walk outside.
When she walked to the riverside, seeing the grass beads grow well, she picked a handful, and when she was free, she could string two bracelets to play.
“Mom, I don’t want Yanyan to be a daughter-in-law.” The child who had been silent suddenly said astonishingly.
After hearing this, He Xiaoyun almost fell into the river and stood hurriedly. She looked back at Wei Yuanhang’s serious expression, angry and funny: “You really dare to think about it. Aunty and mother-in-law are talking and playing, you just take it seriously. Now? Yanyan doesn’t want you yet.”
Without waiting for the child to speak, she asked again: “You tell me, why don’t you want Yanyan to be a daughter-in-law?”
Wei Yuanhang frowned and said, “After that, I will sleep on the ground and let her sleep in the bed.”
He Xiaoyun didn’t understand this at first, but it took a while to figure out that it was about the current state of her and Wei Jianwei, which made the little kid think that after getting married, he would give up the bed. The daughter-in-law sleeps, but she can only sleep on the ground.
She was a little bit dumbfounded. She wanted to say a few words to fool her. She was also worried that the child would continue to misunderstand. She was also afraid that someone would ask one day and let people know that she and Wei Jianwei had been sleeping in separate beds, and there were a lot of rumors.
She thought for a while, squatted down and looked at the child, “You don’t have to give him the bed. After we get married, the two will sleep together. Your father slept on the ground because our bed was too small and he was afraid of turning over. Overwhelm you. When you grow up a little bit later, with your own bed, Dad can sleep on the bed.”
“Does Dad want to sleep in my bed?” Wei Yuanhang asked with wide eyes.
“It’s not your bed, it’s where you sleep now, and it’s Dad’s in the future.”
“I don’t want it!” The kid rushed to hug his mother, “I don’t want to separate from my mother, father sleeps on the ground!”
“Uh…” He Xiaoyun laughed blankly. She thought that the little fat man would love his father who was sleeping on the floor, but people only worried about whether his site would be robbed. It seems that the father and son are also the friendship of plastic flowers.
Wandered around and returned home, just to help cook lunch.
It was burning, and suddenly there was the sound of firecrackers outside, and it seemed that there were still many people talking.
Feng Qiuyue walked to the door to take a look, and said, “It’s the Dongtou side, is there anyone doing the wedding?”
Wang Chunhua thought about it for a while, and said, “You aunt Zhang mentioned a while ago that it was the fool who got married.”
Feng Qiuyue and He Xiaoyun let out a cry and stopped asking.
After listening to Aunt Zhang that day, the two of them had chatted privately, and both of them didn’t agree with letting fools have children.
He Xiaoyun used to live in an era that emphasized prenatal and postnatal care. Although some people believe that having children is everyone’s right, even if they are fools, they should not be deprived of them. However, most people are more rational. It is a matter of decades. If the child born is also suffering from the disease, who is responsible for his life?
Feng Qiuyue is about to be a mother. She hopes to give the best to her children, so when she thinks of what a fool’s child will face in the future, she feels a little pity.
But the fool’s mother did this because of her love for her child, and she was afraid that she would die and no one would care about her son.
So in this matter, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong.
Unlike the many feelings of adults, children only need to have fun.
As soon as the firecrackers rang, Wei Jianhua took Wei Yuanhang to see the bride, and did not return until the dinner was about to start. Everyone was holding a handful of peanuts and melon seeds.
“I’m going to eat, don’t eat those messy things, you are really, such a big person, don’t do something good to let Xiaohangxue, do this kind of thing every day.” Wang Chunhua inevitably has to read Wei Jianhua again. But looking at the way he was joking, he obviously didn’t listen.
Aunt Zhang came to the house in the afternoon, and she really talked about the fool’s marriage.
“I went to see the bustle. The bride looks good, and she can’t see anything from her appearance, but her brain is abnormal.”
Wang Chunhua said, “Silly Abao is actually quite energetic. If both of them are good, they will match well.”
A Bao is the name of the fool at the east end of the village. Aunt Zhang and Wang Chunhua said it was a pity.
There is no entertainment at night in the countryside. After dark, everyone washes up and returns to the room early.
What He Xiaoyun said to Wei Yuanhang by the river in the morning, she said and forgot. She thought he had also left it behind when she saw the child playing wildly. How could she remember this kid?
That night, Wei Yuanhang did not go to Wei Jianwei to play as usual. Instead, he climbed up to bed early to play with building blocks. After playing for a while, he had to look up at his father. It looked like an evil dragon guarding gold coins.
Wei Jianwei noticed it and glanced at him.
The more he watched, the more vigilant the little fat man became. Later he forced He Xiaoyun to the bed and sat in her arms with her mother and bed beside her. Then he turned to Wei Jianwei and said, “Dad has his own bed, don’t grab me. of.”
Rao was Wei Jianwei. He was a little confused when he heard this sentence. He asked He Xiaoyun, “What did he say?”
He Xiaoyun shook her head innocently. There were only three people in the room who knew everything that had happened, but it was hard to tell Wei Jianwei what happened in the morning. The kid couldn’t explain it, she just pretended not to know.
Wei Yuanhang was also afraid of what she said, and hurriedly said: “I didn’t say anything, my mother didn’t say, I didn’t say, right, mother?”
His performance was a lively interpretation of what is called “no silver three hundred taels here”. He Xiaoyun smiled and nodded in cooperation, “Yes, there is nothing to say, it is your father who thinks too much.”
The child was relieved now. After a while, he fell asleep. He Xiaoyun lay down for a while, and also began to get confused. He was half awake and half asleep, and suddenly there was another worry.
She wants to go to the toilet.
The dishes in the evening were a bit salty. She drank more water and would go to the toilet again before going to bed. But today Wei Yuanhang kept watching and refused to let her go.
She originally wanted to endure it, but it was okay that she could not bear it. Under the endurance, she felt more and more urinary, and she was getting more and more energetic. The sleepworm just ran away, and in desperation, she had to sit up.
The light in the room had already gone out, Wei Jianwei’s direction did not move, and he probably fell asleep. Not wanting to wake them up, she didn’t turn on the light, but waited for her eyes to adjust to the dimness, and then fumbled to stand up.
The furniture in the room was placed against the wall, only Wei Jianwei’s floor was hit in the middle. She walked slowly along the wall and finally came to the door of the room. She ran out to the bathroom and ran back again. .
The night outside was slightly brighter than the inside of the house. I just came in from the outside, and the darkness in front of me was darker than before, and I couldn’t see anything.
He Xiaoyun had to rely on her memory to tentatively move forward in the dark.
Turn right first, one step, two steps, three steps… Go to the wall, then turn left, one step, two steps, three steps…
It should be fine. He Xiaoyun left the wall and walked in the direction where she thought she was a bed.
One step, two steps, three—
“Puff-“
She fell headlong into Wei Jianwei’s bed.
