Dressed up as a Real Mom

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Chunhua got a few salted duck eggs from somewhere. When he drank porridge in the morning, he gave half of them to everyone in the family, and he hung a wormwood at the door. Apart from that, it was no different from ordinary days.

In the morning, He Xiaoyun walked home from the river after washing her clothes. He heard the loud speakers at the entrance of the village shouting there. The commune’s projection team will show a movie at the threshing ground tonight for everyone to watch.

During the slack season, the screening team would go to the countryside and take turns showing films in each brigade. This time, it happened that it happened to be the Qingshuihe brigade during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Someone next to her was on the same road. He heard the radio and said, “Xiaoyun, go to the movies tonight.”

He Xiaoyun smiled and said, “I just want to go, and the children can’t sit still. Let’s take a look.”

“Yes, a three-year-old kid, fart and greasy.”

Entering the courtyard gate, I saw Wei Yuanhang sitting on a small stool gnawing on the rice dumplings. The rice dumplings at home had been wrapped a few days earlier, and they were almost finished by now.

He Xiaoyun dried her clothes and was about to go back to her family’s home. Last time, her father had a bad foot. It has been several days. She didn’t know if it was better. She went back to see if she needed any help at home.

She talked to Wang Chunhua, went to the room again, and said to Wei Jianwei: “I’ll go back, look at the child, don’t let him play with mud.”

She intends to come back before lunch, and bringing the child will inevitably be procrastinated, but the kid has been a bit sticky to her recently, so he won’t let him see it for a while.

“Is there something at home?” Wei Jianwei was still reading, and when she saw her come in, he put the book down.

“No,” she squeezed her hair in the mirror and pulled her clothes, “just go back and have a look.”

“Do you need me?” he asked again.

He Xiaoyun didn’t dare to ask him to go back with him, otherwise her mother would have asked for eggs when she saw her son-in-law come to the door, “I’ll do it alone.”

After tidying up and going out, Wei Yuanhang was not seen in the yard. He listened to the voice and was talking to his grandma in the backyard. He Xiaoyun quickly slipped away while he was not found.

When she got home, Li Yuegui had just finished her housework, she had to take a breath, and when she saw her, she stood up again, “Have you had breakfast? I’ll get you a zongzi.”

He Xiaoyun pressed her and said, “I ate it, and I also ate zongzi.”

As soon as she walked in, she saw the rice dumplings hanging on the beams of the room, a small bunch of them, probably about ten, so let’s save them for the elderly to eat.

“What about Dad? How are his feet?”

Li Yuegui sat down again. Hearing these words, she said with anger: “After having breakfast, I went out, saying that I was bored at home for several days and everyone was boring. Just go as he pleases and don’t say that my feet hurt again.”

He Xiaoyun also moved a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: “If you can go out, it means nothing will happen.”

“Don’t talk about him, what about Jianwei? Why didn’t he come back with you?”

“It’s okay to let him do it, and it costs you two eggs.”

Li Yuegui slapped her, “You kid, what are you talking about. Couples walk in pairs, and no one else will gossip.”

He Xiaoyun curled her lips in her heart, I’m afraid that when others see her walking with Wei Jianwei, there will be more gossip.

But she also understands Li Yuegui’s mood. At the beginning, how many people read the jokes about her daughter’s insistence on Wei’s family, now things are better, and she even wants her daughter to live a prosperous life and hit those people in the face.

“Is there any work at home? Is the vegetable field about to plant new seeds?” He Xiaoyun changed the subject.

“Your eldest sister came back the day before yesterday and has already done it for me.”

She nodded and remembered something again, “I heard that my uncle’s family has already targeted a girl?”

Speaking of this, Li Yuegui sighed softly, “I’m still a relative of Jianwei and his sister-in-law. I heard from your aunt that the girl is very good, she looks good, has a strong body, and is hardworking. It’s her house…”

“What’s wrong with her family?”

“Oh, it sounds pitiful. She has an older brother who was ill when she was a child, and one of his legs was broken. He is now lame. I heard people say that their family wants to point their daughter to give more gifts and give the money to his brother. Say a good kiss.”

He Xiaoyun frowned slightly when she heard her, and she used her daughter’s gift money for her son to get married. This is a real thing, and it’s not uncommon nowadays. There are even bad habits of changing relatives in some places.

“What did the aunt mean?” she asked again.

Li Yuegui said, “Your aunt really likes that girl. She is also thinking about whether to let your cousin meet someone first. If the two young people get along, other things are easy to discuss. After all, your cousin. People, if you don’t marry a better wife, how can you control him.”

He Xiaoyun didn’t have much impression of this cousin, she only remembered that she was a person who didn’t talk much, but listened to her mother’s meaning, it seemed that he was quite individual and uncomfortable.

It’s okay at home, she talked to her mother for a while, and after seeing her father, she went back.

At the beginning of May, the scorching sun was shining, the vegetation was dense, and the Huangni Road was covered with dog’s tail grass. He Xiaoyun pulled a few sticks in her hand and planned to bring it to Wei Yuanhang for fun. She didn’t tell him before going out, and hoped that she would not make trouble after returning home. That’s good.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the child shouting her voice.

“mother-“

He Xiaoyun raised her head and the sun was shining. She built a small pergola with her hand on her forehead, and she could see the little fat man running towards her not far away. Wei Jianwei followed him.

The child stumbled and stumbled. When he was approaching, he tripped under his feet and almost fell. He Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped forward to catch it.

“Mom! Mom! Mom!” Wei Yuanhang threw his head into her arms and kept calling out with his head up.

“I heard, I heard.” He Xiaoyun replied helplessly, wiping the sweat from his forehead with her hand, “It’s such a hot day, why don’t you stay at home well, why do you run out?”

It’s okay not to say it. As soon as she said that the child stopped calling her mother, she immediately changed her tone and complained rather aggrievedly: “Mom left, didn’t you tell me!”

He Xiaoyun expected such a time and said, “It’s my mother, right?”

She replied so readily that the child didn’t know how to answer it for a while. He turned his head to think about it. Mom had apologized, and it seemed that there was nothing to make trouble, so he had to say: “Well then, mom can’t do this in the future.”

“Okay, let’s not do this.” After wiping his sweat, He Xiaoyun found that his eyes and nose were a little red, so he asked: “You were crying and embarrassed just now?”

“No no!” Wei Yuanhang retorted hurriedly.

Just as Wei Jianwei also came to the front, He Xiaoyun asked him, “Is he making trouble at home?”

Wei Jianwei glanced at his son. The kid was shaking his head vigorously at him.

Before he could speak, He Xiaoyun saw a bit of sticky liquid on his chest, and said to the child in disgust: “You must be crying. Look, there is still your nose on Dad’s clothes. Woolen cloth.”

Wei Yuanhang hurriedly took a look at it, and it was true that he hummed and couldn’t speak.

He Xiaoyun took him by hand and said as he walked: “I can’t do this in the future. Mom didn’t tell you when I went out. I was wrong. But you cried and made trouble at home and soiled your father’s clothes. That’s you. The next time this is unreasonable, I’m going to beat you up.”

“…I know.” The child replied with his head hanging down and his mouth bulging.

He couldn’t understand in his small head. Before he went out, he was ready to criticize his mother, so that she would never leave him to go out by himself. Why was he criticized by his mother now?

The three of them walked home and passed by the door of a house. The other person was sitting at the door. When they saw them, they joked: “I just saw Jianwei holding Xiaohang. I thought where I was going, it turned out to be picking Xiaoyun home. Jianwei, you can’t stick to your daughter-in-law so much. I came to look for it if I didn’t see it for a while!”

He Xiaoyun smiled, did not answer this, and asked, “Did Aunt eat it?”

“Not yet, how about you?”

“Neither did we.”

After walking a short distance, Wei Yuanhang shook He Xiaoyun’s hand and said, “Mom, it’s not that Dad is coming to see you, I’m looking for you!”

He feels very proud, ready to take credit.

He Xiaoyun ignored him and glanced at Wei Jianwei. The nose on his chest was gleaming in the sun.

Deserve it.

She thought badly in her heart that she knew what to do when she faced her, and to an unreasonable child, let’s see how he could make use of his wicked eyes.

She suddenly remembered a sentence: a bit of tofu in brine, one thing loses one thing.

Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancestors is endless.

As if perceiving her gaze, Wei Jianwei looked at her, and He Xiaoyun immediately turned to the beginning.

After doing this, she silently spit on herself again, why turned her head, as if afraid of him!

But she didn’t dare to turn back and look at him again.

At the lunch table, Wang Chunhua mentioned the movie in the evening and said, “You all go and watch it.”

He Xiaoyun said, “I’m afraid Hanghang won’t be able to sit still, so I won’t go.”

“Let him follow me. It’s rare to show movies and go lively.” Wang Chunhua said, and then lowered his head to ask the grandson: “Can Xiao Hang be with grandma at night?”

The child wants his head like a rattle, “I want to watch a movie!”

Wang Chunhua said: “Then take him. If you can’t sit still, come back early.”

He Xiaoyun has to say something more, Feng Qiuyue said: “Xiaoyun also go, when you walk around, if it doesn’t look good, we will come back.”

“Yes, Jianwei will go too. You used to show movies. You were not at home. It’s rare to be here this time. Go with Xiaoyun. I heard that young people in the city would eat and watch movies together when they were not married. What do you call it an appointment, an appointment—”

“Dating.” Wei Jianwei added.

“Yes, it’s a date! You two will also go on a date tonight.” Wang Chunhua said.

He Xiaoyun took a sip of soup in her mouth and almost choked to death. She hurriedly swallowed, secretly staring at Wei Jianwei.

People took a mouthful of food leisurely, and if nothing happened, they even hooked up the corners of their mouths.

He Xiaoyun is angry, this guy absolutely deliberately, isn’t he just making fun of the snot on his clothes, meanie! Remember the hatred!
