Dressed up as a Real Mom - Chapter 13

He Xiaoyun fell over for a while, and when Wei Jianwei moved, she reacted and immediately got up in a hurry, but it was dark, and she didn’t know where the person was or where the bed was. She slipped, and stepped on Wei Jianwei a few more feet in the meantime.

In the end, he sat up, helped her shoulders, and got rid of the embarrassment.

Her face burned with fire, and for a while, she began to rejoice that the black light was blind, so that no one could see her embarrassment clearly, “I’m sorry…”

Wei Jianwei just hummed, the night was deep, and his voice seemed to be deeper than the day.

He Xiaoyun quickly slipped back to the bed and pulled the quilt up to cover her face, revealing only a pair of eyes. She held her breath and watched the movement at the other end of the room, until she heard him lying down too, and then relieved her breath slowly.

The next day, Wei Jianhua went back to school before dawn. Wang Chunhua sent him away, counted the eggs he had saved in recent days, and decided to go to the market.

The commune collects every five days, and many people take the eggs and vegetables they grow at home to the collect, and exchange them for daily necessities such as salt and oil.

This small-scale private transaction is permitted by the state, but if someone buys the farmers’ eggs and resells them, it will not work. After being discovered, they will be sent to the quarry for labor reform. .

When He Xiaoyun first came, she also thought about whether she could do something to earn some money. After all, life without money on hand is always frustrating. Later, she happened to pass by the quarry and saw those who were “re-education through labor”. People who immediately dismissed this idea.

Now she still concentrates on reading, study hard and make progress every day.

She and Wang Chunhua went to the market together, and Wei Yuanhang’s little tail naturally followed. In addition to a dozen eggs, they also carried some cabbage and pickles.

There are many people at the market, and there are farmers who sell things like them, and some come from communes and counties to buy things.

Wang Chunhua chose a place, put down the back basket, and asked He Xiaoyun to show Wei Yuanhang around.

“I’ll do it alone here. You and Xiaohang will go shopping to see if there is anything you want to buy.” He said that he wanted to take out some change for them.

He Xiaoyun said hurriedly, “I have money here.”

“Then you go, don’t go too far.”

He Xiaoyun nodded and led Wei Yuanhang to walk slowly. In fact, there is nothing to look at. The only things that farmers sell are those that are not their own products, but they are picked from the mountains and fished in the water. Pork and grain are not allowed to be traded privately, so they cannot be seen in the market.

Wei Yuanhang is different. He is happy as long as he can go out, saying that He Xiaoyun led him around, but in fact he dragged his mother to run forward, squatting in front of other people’s stalls for a while, watching the lively fish in the bucket, and then ran to watch others catch them. The pheasant tried to pull off a colorful chicken tail.

“Dang—Dang—Dang—” There was a sound of iron flicks in a corner of the market, and He Xiaoyun looked at it. It turned out that someone was selling maltose, and the stall was surrounded by children.

Wei Yuanhang’s eyes lit up, and he quickly trot over with her hand. The snow-white maltose is packed in a shallow iron plate. If someone wants to buy it, the stall owner will knock a piece of it with an iron piece and cut it into small pieces.

He Xiaoyun had eaten this kind of candy when he was a child. At that time, they could change it with things they don’t need at home. She once exchanged a pair of broken shoes for a small piece of candy.

Although there are many children onlookers, few actually buy them, because the price of sugar is not cheap. After all, it is made of grain, and these days, grain is more precious than anything.

A child was grinding his mother for a long time, crying and making trouble, insisting on buying sweets. The woman couldn’t help but scolded, and finally used two eggs for a piece of candy the size of a child’s palm.

“Mom…” Wei Yuanhang shook He Xiaoyun’s hand and looked at her eagerly.

He Xiaoyun said, “Don’t you still have orange candies at home?”

“But…” The child narrowed his mouth and swallowed exaggeratedly, “I haven’t eaten this candy before.”

His reason was so straightforward that He Xiaoyun didn’t know how to fight back.

She didn’t plan to buy it for him, so she would give it what she wanted. What if she is spoiled? But then I think about it, what can be spoiled for children in such a time of nothing? It’s better to spend a little money to cheer up the child, so as to save him from thinking about it later.

However, she still told the child in advance, “You can only buy a little bit, and after you buy sugar, you don’t want it no matter what you see after a while.”

“Hmm!” Wei Yuanhang nodded repeatedly.

He Xiaoyun bought a copy for 30 cents, and the stall owner cut it up and wrapped it in newspaper.

She gave the paper bag to Wei Yuanhang, the child got it, and first gave her a piece, “Mom, eat it.”

He Xiaoyun looked down at him, smiled, bent over and opened her mouth to take it, and said, “Thank you, and remember to give grandma a piece later.”

“I know.” The little fat man said, holding the small paper bag, walking and jumping, and then saw someone selling baby chicken cubs, he squatted and watched for a long time, but remembered what He Xiaoyun said, he didn’t make a fuss about buying it. .

The market was not big, so the two went to see Wang Chunhua after they were shopping.

The eggs brought by the family have been sold out, and there are some leftovers. Eggs have always been a hot product. Most of the people who come to buy them are factory workers or grassroots civil servants. Because they need tickets to buy eggs in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and their tickets are often not enough, they will come to the market to buy them.

When Wang Chunhua saw that Wei Yuanhang was holding maltose in her hand, she was about to say something, the little grandson had already stuffed a piece of her mouth, “Grandma eat candy!”

She couldn’t say what she wanted to say.

The three rushed home before noon. Feng Qiuyue had already prepared lunch and washed the dishes after eating. He Xiaoyun took Wei Yuanhang back to the room.

After walking for a long time today, the child was obviously tired, otherwise he would have already ran out to play at this time.

“Mom, where’s Dad?”

He Xiaoyun smiled and said, “Your father has disappeared for most of a day, but only now I found out?”

Wei Yuanhang stopped playing with the quilt and asked, “Is my father a soldier again?”

In the past, when Wei Jianwei was away, Wang Chunhua would always point to the pictures in the hall to teach her little grandson that her father would serve as a soldier in the army, and when he returned home, he would bring delicious food. So in the child’s head, the father is not at home, so he just went to serve as a soldier.

He Xiaoyun teased him: “Yes, Dad has gone as a soldier.”

Wei Yuanhang pouted, “He didn’t even say goodbye to me.”

“Are you reluctant to dad?”

“Reluctant.” The child nodded.

He Xiaoyun said: “But dad is gone, you don’t have to worry about him coming to grab your bed.”

The kid thought for a while, it seemed like this, if his father is not there, his mother and the bed belong to him. Although Dad will buy him orange candies and make wooden boxes for him… But compared with his favorite mother and bed, Dad should go as a soldier.

He figured it out and said loudly: “Then father, let’s go.”

He Xiaoyun laughed out loud, rubbing his head and said: “It’s funny, your father will return to the army, but not now, he went to his comrades-in-arms’ house today.”

Wei Yuanhang couldn’t understand what the comrade-in-arms meant, but it didn’t prevent him from knowing that his mother was lying to him again.

He snorted, turned over and pointed at He Xiaoyun with a fart, and muttered: “Huh, I’m not talking to mom anymore.”

He Xiaoyun stretched out her hand and patted his little **** and stock.

The child was still muttering at first, but gradually disappeared after a while. He Xiaoyun took a probe and was already asleep.

She pulled up his little quilt, then pulled the big quilt, and covered him with a quilt. The sky was getting warmer, and the cover was too tight. Wait for him to sweat again.

After doing this, she stood up, ready to take a book to read, but saw Wei Jianwei walk in from outside.

“I came back so early?” She asked in a low voice. In the morning, she heard that he was going to visit his comrades in the county, and thought it would take a whole day.

Wei Jianwei nodded and glanced at Wei Yuanhang’s back, “Asleep?”

“Yeah.” He Xiaoyun stopped her hand holding the book and decided to go out instead. What happened last night, she still feels a little embarrassed when she thinks about it. This guy is the kind of person who can make a bad person. If she asks to make fun of her, then her face will be lost. It’s better to hide.

Before leaving the room, she remembered to ask again, “Have you eaten lunch?”

Wei Jianwei had walked to the big box and seemed to be looking for something. Hearing the words, he said, “I have eaten.”

He Xiaoyun walked to the yard, Wang Chunhua happened to come out of the backyard and said: “Jianwei just came back, I forgot to ask him if he had food.”

“I asked, he has already eaten.”

“That’s good.” Wang Chunhua said, nodding her head secretly. In the past, her daughter-in-law never cared about her son. Now she can ask him whether he has eaten or not. It seems that the relationship between the two is getting better. If the juniors can be in harmony, she is naturally happy as an elder.

The vegetables in the yard were harvested the first two days. You can pickle the pickles after they are exposed to the sun. He Xiaoyun laid hands on Wang Chunhua and spent a long time busy picking up this year’s pickles.

After that, she went back to the room, ready to call Wei Yuanhang up, so as not to sleep too long during the day and not sleep at night.

Wei Jianwei was no longer there. He Xiaoyun walked to the bed and was about to speak when she suddenly found an iron flashlight next to the pillow. He picked it up and pressed it, and the bright light shone on the bed.

She had seen this flashlight before, and it was placed under the suitcase. Although many people have flashlights in their rural areas, but because they can’t replace the batteries and small light bulbs, few people actually use them. This one is in her hand. , Because the battery is empty, it has been idle.

I remembered that Wei Jianwei was looking for something in the suitcase. He bought the battery and replaced it?

He Xiaoyun was a little touched. Just now, she mistakenly thought that the other party would make fun of her with what happened last night, but unexpectedly he prepared a flashlight for her.

“It shouldn’t wake me up next time.”

She was making small bubbles, and Wei Jianwei appeared from nowhere and said such a sentence.

The little touch in He Xiaoyun’s heart was immediately extinguished by her, this guy is still so annoying!
