Dressed up as a Real Mom - Chapter 18
He Xiaoyun took out the shoes, put them on her feet and made gestures. It was indeed her size. I don’t know how Wei Jianwei knew it.
And he is a big man, rushing to buy women’s leather shoes, the scene must be very eye-catching.
In terms of current aesthetics, these shoes are very fashionable, with a glossy leather finish and a little high heel. She only saw one or two people wearing them when she went back to the county town. She had never seen them in the countryside. The price was high. One point, two is the occasion that there is nothing to wear out.
If she wears these shoes to go for a walk or stop by, it will not take a day for the whole brigade to talk about it.
He just gave a pair of black cloth shoes, which are more practical than leather shoes.
Thinking that way, she still put the shoes in the cabinet very carefully, and the book was on the bedside.
Wang Chunhua was making jelly in the kitchen. When He Xiaoyun came in, the black jelly was already formed, cut open in a large bowl, trembling like jelly.
“Mom, why do you think of making jelly?”
“Didn’t your Aunt Zhang made it a few days ago? Xiao Hang ate it at her house and kept reading it after returning. She said that there were dried jelly grasses, so I asked for it.”
He Xiaoyun smiled and said, “Hanghang’s gluttonous ghost, he will read as long as he eats, so don’t be coaxed by him.”
Wang Chunhua spoke for her little grandson: “Which children don’t like to eat, let’s Xiaohang be obedient.”
She dipped the jelly in the water, waited for it to become cold, and then mixed it with sugar, and had a bowl of it on a hot day. Nothing was more refreshing.
He Xiaoyun shook her head helplessly when she heard that she was full of love for her grandson. Jelly is not a rare thing, but sugar is valuable. You have to buy sugar with a ticket. Others may not be willing to buy it once a year.
“Jianwei is back, in the bamboo forest behind.” Wang Chunhua said.
He Xiaoyun nodded her head. She didn’t intend to move, but think about the gifts that the other party ran all the way to the county seat and brought her back. He also felt that he couldn’t be too stingy. He expressed sincerity, so she would be generous and forgive him for chanting.
Thinking about this, she wandered out the back door.
There is a bamboo forest in the backyard. Wei Jianwei cut a bamboo to make bamboo bed legs two days ago. The bamboo branches are still in the forest. Now he uses them to make brooms.
He Xiaoyun walked over and said, “You are back.”
This was the first time she took the initiative to speak after the unilateral cold war yesterday.
Wei Jianwei raised his head to look at her, nodded, and continued his hand movements for a few more times. He probably felt that she was finally willing to talk to him and could not appear too cold, so he added: “Wake up?”
He Xiaoyun couldn’t help but laugh at this false social etiquette. She squatted down in front of him and said happily, “How do I feel that we two are playing officialdom?”
Wei Jianwei also hooked his mouth.
He Xiaoyun said, “Thank you for your gift. I like it very much, but don’t buy it in the future. I stay at home and can’t put on those shoes.”
“Go out and wear it.”
“Where can I go, either to the mountain or to the river, I can’t bear to wear it out.”
Wei Jianwei frowned slightly and said, “They say that young girls like it.”
He Xiaoyun estimated that the women he was talking about were shop assistants, and said: “They have to say so in order to be able to sell the goods. I don’t like it either. I just can’t put them on. It’s a pity to put them on.”
Wei Jianwei nodded again.
There was an awkwardness, and now the two of them stay together, but the atmosphere seems to be more natural and harmonious than before.
He Xiaoyun helped him to tear off the bamboo leaves from the bamboo branches. The two worked together, and the speed was much faster. In the meantime, they caught a bamboo elephant. She ran home and took a thread and tied it to the bamboo elephant’s nose. The insect spread its wings and buzzed and flew around, but couldn’t fly away.
When Wei Yuanhang woke up, he was so happy when he saw that there were jelly to eat and bamboo elephants to play with.
“I’ll show it to Yanyan!” He ate the jelly and couldn’t wait to pull the string out to show off.
He Xiaoyun shook her head, “When the fart is big, he will be long and short all day long. This kid will definitely marry his wife and forget his mother.”
Feng Qiuyue chuckled when she heard it, “I just heard Mom say this today.”
“What’s wrong with mom?” He Xiaoyun was curious.
“It’s Jianwei,” Feng Qiuyue looked at her teasingly, “At noon, not long after you went back to the house, Jianwei came back with a box. Mom opened it and looked at the shoes. At a glance, I could tell that they were worn by young people. After Jianwei returned to the house, my mother babbled to me, saying that when my son was so old, he had never bought shoes for her. I’ve forgotten my mother-in-law!”
He Xiaoyun didn’t expect to be embarrassed by Feng Qiuyue’s smile because of those shoes.
Feng Qiuyue said again: “But mom just said that, don’t take it to heart. She also told me that Jianwei was not at home all year, and you took the child by yourself and had to work again. It is rare for him to come back. You should be considerate.”
She said this for relief, but He Xiaoyun listened, not knowing why, and felt embarrassed, so she hurriedly said: “The shoes he bought can’t be worn at all.”
“It’s not surprising that you can’t wear it. Do you know that when Jianguo and I first met, he gave me a hair rope. What color is it?”
“Red?”
“It would be great if it was red, he gave it green!”
He Xiaoyun laughed, “Then how to wear it out?”
“Yeah, when he saw that I didn’t wear it, he was ashamed to ask why, do you want me to put grass on my head all day? So these men, he knows that it’s good for you to buy things. We can open one eye and close one eye.” Feng Qiuyue smiled rather helplessly.
After Wei Jianwei finished making the broom, he saw that there was a lot of bamboo left, so he re-arranged a fence for the chicken coop. The original one was old.
He Xiaoyun cooked Wang Chunhua over the fire, the dinner was ready, and she called him to come back for dinner, and Wei Yuanhang followed her around.
“Mom, does the bamboo elephant eat bamboo?”
“They eat bamboo shoots a lot. After being eaten, bamboo shoots can’t grow into bamboo.”
The child said: “Then they are bad bugs!”
“It’s a pest.” He Xiaoyun smiled and corrected.
Wei Yuanhang nodded and asked, “Why are they called Bamboo Elephants?”
He Xiaoyun thought for a while, and Hu Bian said: “It should be because they are like elephants, with long noses.”
The child nodded again, seeming to understand, and then asked again in the next second: “What is an elephant?”
“It’s a very big animal with a very long and very long nose.” He Xiaoyun replied casually, fearing that he would still have problems, and said hurriedly: “Here, let’s see if Dad is ready, we are going to eat. “
The child’s attention was diverted, and he jumped to his father and ran to him, “Dad, we are going to eat!”
Wei Jianwei just finished finishing, packed up his tools and stood up, “Okay.”
He Xiaoyun walked over and said, “Let’s go quickly. When the sun goes down, there will be more mosquitoes in the bamboo forest.”
“Yeah.” Wei Jianwei nodded, glanced at her, and then turned back again after turning away.
“What are you looking at?” He Xiaoyun joked, “Is there a mosquito on my face?”
Wei Jianwei nodded, “There are mosquitoes.” He stretched out his hand.
He Xiaoyun subconsciously wanted to step back, stopped again, and said a little uncomfortable: “Where? I’ll do it myself.”
One of Wei Jianwei’s fingers had already landed on her cheek, and he wiped it down, then showed her the finger, “It’s a big mosquito.”
She fixed her eyes to see that there was no mosquito. It was clearly a small piece of firewood dust. It should have floated on her face when it was just burned. When he touched it like this, she must have a black mark on her face now.
She looked at the smile in Wei Jianwei’s eyes, raised her fist and smashed him, “Hey, give me a punch!”
Wei Yuanhang heard it and remembered the Journey to the West that his mother had read to him before, and quickly said: “Mum and mother are wrong. It’s’Hey, take my grandson a stick!’”
