Chapter 21 - .021 under the lights
The little kid’s shout was like a thunderstorm, and He Xiaoyun was originally fortunate not to fall. Hearing this, she realized that her hand was being held by Wei Jianwei and hurriedly broke free.
The atmosphere was a bit weird for a while. The part of her wrist, because of her pale skin, gradually showed the fingerprints held by him. The heat there seemed to be higher than elsewhere, and it was hard to ignore.
He Xiaoyun resisted the urge to touch, and said, “Go home.”
After talking about taking Wei Yuanhang away, Wei Jianwei stood there for a while before slowly following.
The next day, He Xiaoyun got up before dawn, went to the market alone, bought chicken, eggs, and some dried fruits to her family.
Seeing these things, Li Yuegui hurriedly said, “It’s not a festival or a day, what’s this for? You get it back as soon as possible.”
He Xiaoyun put the back basket on the ground, sat down and panted and said, “I went out this morning and haven’t had a drink. Mom, are you going to drive me out?”
Upon hearing this, Li Yuegui immediately poured a bowl of tea and asked, “Have you had breakfast?”
“Yeah.” He Xiaoyun took the tea bowl and poured it down, she didn’t have the time to speak.
“Slow down, slow down, don’t choke.”
After drinking the tea in one breath, He Xiaoyun sighed for a long time. Seeing her mother was about to talk about the topic just now, she said, “Did the eldest sister tell you when she went home yesterday?”
“Say what? She came back and sat for a while and then left.”
“She went to mine first yesterday, saying that your 50th birthday next month, while Jianwei is at home, it is better to have it in advance.”
Li Yuegui waved her hands again and again, “I’m so old, and I’m not a kid, so I’ll be one year older after my birthday. What’s so easy?”
“That’s not the same. Fifty years old is a whole life,” He Xiaoyun said, “I want to have fun with my family. Besides, I have already agreed with Jianwei. He also agreed to come home tomorrow. You can’t help but let him come. ?”
She knew her mother liked her son-in-law, so she deliberately brought Wei Jianwei out.
After hearing this, Li Yuegui’s attitude of refusal was not so firm, but she still said: “Then you guys are here. You are chickens and eggs. Bring a lot of them back. Your in-laws will Not happy.”
He Xiaoyun patted her hand and said: “Don’t worry, I have told my mother-in-law, she originally said that I should catch the chicken at home, and the chicken must be kept for laying eggs. How can I move? Then I went to the store and bought one.”
“How much does it cost?” Li Yuegui felt a little relieved, still feeling distressed.
“It doesn’t matter how much it is, and it’s not every day to eat. Tomorrow you and your dad don’t have to do anything. The eldest sister will bring meat and noodles back. Just leave the things on the stove to the younger generations. Your old man will just tease your grandson and granddaughter. Enjoy a day.” He Xiaoyun smiled.
Li Yuegui groaned, “I can still enjoy the life of a toiled ghost for a lifetime. Only when your sister gives birth to a boy, you and Jianwei have a good time, and your brother will have a future in the future, I will have the heart to enjoy.”
“You are a little greedy. With so many wishes, Cautious Bodhisattva cannot bless you.”
“What nonsense?” Li Yuegui patted her.
He Xiaoyun smiled and avoided, and asked, “Where is Dad?”
“In the back yard, the chicken coop was broken. After talking for several days, he was willing to repair it. Day by day, he would be stumbling around when nothing happened, and he would get his ankles in the next day. Don’t expect me to bring him water and food.” Li Yuegui was talking about it.
After He Xiaoyun walked to the house, her dad He Dazhi dangled his pipe and meditated at the hole in the chicken coop in a cloud of smoke.
“Dad.” She yelled.
“Huh?” He Dazhi replied, the pipe in his mouth moved, and he raised his head in slow motion, and saw her standing in front of him. Only when he saw her standing in front of him, he completely recovered, and realized that his daughter was calling him just now.
“Xiaoyun is back?”
He Xiaoyun nodded, “Dad, do you repair the chicken ring?”
He Dazhi looked at the tattered chicken coop and the mess of bamboo on the ground, frowning, “It’s not your mother, the chicken coop is a bit broken, so I read it all day and night, and he said he wouldn’t give me food if he didn’t fix it. , Hum, don’t eat if you don’t eat…”
He Xiaoyun smiled and shook her head, went to the front again, talked to her mother for a while, and hurried back before cooking at noon.
At night, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool, until it was completely dark, they went back to their rooms.
The clothes Feng Qiuyue made for Wei Yuanhang before are already ready. He Xiaoyun puts it in the closet after washing it, and only took it out tonight, planning to wear it to his grandmother’s house tomorrow.
Wei Yuanhang saw it and cheered: “Wear new clothes!”
He Xiaoyun glanced at him and said, “Don’t be too happy, just say yes. Tomorrow, you will wear new clothes, you are not allowed to play in the mud, you are not allowed to sit on the ground, you are not allowed to climb walls, and you are not allowed to wipe your nose.”
Every time she said no, the smile on the child’s face was lost. In the end, it was a bit miserable, “Then I still don’t wear new clothes.”
“You want to be beautiful.” He Xiaoyun smiled and nodded his forehead.
“Do Mom and Dad also wear new clothes?”
“No, we don’t have new clothes, only you have.”
The child uttered, and suddenly said loudly: “Mom has new shoes!”
Speaking of new shoes, He Xiaoyun looked at Wei Jianwei subconsciously.
Wei Jianwei was also looking at her.
Glancing at each other, she turned away first, and said to Wei Yuan, “There are new shoes. Dad bought them.”
Wei Yuanhang tilted his head and asked, “Why does Dad buy mom’s shoes?”
“Uh…” He Xiaoyun got stuck.
Wei Jianwei came over and sat beside the bed, “Because I made your mother angry.”
“Dad is an idiot.” The kid said very rudely, and then proudly held his small breast, “I won’t annoy my mother.”
He Xiaoyun looked at him speechlessly, who gave him confidence?
Wei Jianwei also didn’t expect to be evaluated like this by his son, and he was speechless for a while.
He Xiaoyun saw that it was not early, patted the bed, and said to Wei Yuan: “Don’t brag, lie down and sleep, and get up early tomorrow.”
“I want my mother to sleep in a hug.” The child opened his hand.
“How old are you?” He Xiaoyun couldn’t help but complain.
The child thought to ask him, stretched out a hand that was as fat as three small radishes, and said: “Three years old, did Mom forget it?”
She was speechless and funny, and finally reached out her hand to hug him, lay on her lap, wrapped it in a quilt, put one hand under the child’s neck, and patted his back with the other hand, “Now I can sleep. Right?”
She had just washed her hair in the evening, and after drying it, she tied a ponytail indiscriminately. At this time, part of her hair was hanging loosely. Wei Yuanhang was holding a few of her hair in his hand, still humming and not feeling sleepy.
“Mom, is your mother a grandmother?”
“Um.”
“Daddy’s mom is grandma?”
“right.”
“What about grandma and grandma’s mother?”
“Their mother is very old, too old.”
The child seemed to understand, and then began to ask other questions.
The night was getting deeper. In the grass outside the house, insects kept screaming. In the house, the child’s tender voice did not know when to stop, and the light was shining on the two people’s side faces by the bed, dim and gentle.
He Xiaoyun felt that her cheeks were a little itchy, it should be because of the hair sticking to her head. She breathed out gently, but it didn’t blow off. She breathed out again, but it still didn’t fall off.
The other side suddenly stretched out a hand, gathered her scattered hair, and pinned it all behind her ears.
That hand touched her auricle, and the heat it left behind was almost frustrating.
