That Village That Person That Fool - Chapter 22

It was almost 30 years old every day, and two heavy snowfalls came down. It was terribly cold. Every household was warm in the house, and people could hardly see people walking in the village lanes. The lotus and the longevity are also in the house almost all day long, can’t wait to stay on the kang.

Although there are only two of them in the family, the Chinese New Year still has the appearance of a Chinese New Year. Early in the morning, the lotus boiled a pot of paste and brought it to the room to put on the kang, instructing Changsheng to paste the new window paper , I leaned on the quilt and duo to cut the window flowers, cut the Fu character first, opened it, looked at it, and shouted Changsheng proudly, “Changsheng, do you look good?”

Longevity was kneeling on the kang to paste the window seriously, and when she called him, she turned her head to take a look, nodded indifferently, and continued to paste the window paper.

The lotus also seemed to say to herself: “You are blessed, marrying my witty daughter-in-law, I tell you, the window flower that I cut is the first one in our village. I cut all the windows.”

Longevity screamed that he heard her talking.

The lotus admired his craft, and said, “What do you want me to cut? What do you want the magpie or peony? Or the big carp? The gold ingot?” I looked up and saw that I was not interested. Then I stab him with my feet and said like a treasure, “Don’t do it first, look at me, you say what you want, I can cut whatever you like, it looks like the real thing of.”

After listening to this, Changsheng turned and said, “I want a grandma.”

“Ah?” The lotus froze.

Chang Sheng said seriously: “You said, you can cut whatever I like, I like grandma, you cut a grandma.”

The lotus pouted and murmured in your heart: You are sincerely playing with me, then where can I cut it?

Chang Sheng climbed to the window that he faced when he slept, patted it, and said to the lotus: “Cut a grandma’s post here, I can see it every night.”

Lotus felt a little bit distressed to see him like this, thinking that he hadn’t left Grandma Four since he was a child. This time Grandma walked for so long, he didn’t say anything, what he wanted to do in his heart.

She was thinking about it, but Wen Changsheng said again: “Cut another lotus and paste it here.” As he said, he patted the window on the right.

The lotus was stunned and smiled with a squeeze. He was about to speak, but Longevity shook his head again and said, “No, no, not here…” He pointed to the rightmost window and said, “Lotus Posted here.”

The lotus was not happy: “Why did you stick me so far!”

Longevity smiled and said, “Tie me in the middle, grandma on the left and lotus on the right.”

Lotus saw that Changsheng smiled brightly at her, and for a time he didn’t know what to say. It was only sweet and warm, and he gave him the same bright smile.

Changsheng said that the lotus would not be cut. After thinking about it, I cut three big pig heads instead. One fat head with big ears and squinted eyes giggled was Changsheng, and the other two were wearing flowers on her head and her four grandmothers. She compared the two with flowers for a long time and chose a beautiful one. , Smiled and said: “This looks good, this is me.”

Longevity took the sidelines and said, “Grandma is beautiful.”

The lotus pulled his face: “Are you saying that I am not pretty?”

Changsheng shook his head and said, “No, lotus flowers are also pretty.”

Lotus said: “Then who said that my grandma and I look better?”

After thinking about it for a long time, I was a little embarrassed: “It looks good…”

He Huasha taught me: “I tell you, you are married now, and you can only feel that your wife looks good, even your grandmother can’t look better than your wife, you know!”

Longevity nodded stunnedly.

“Then I will ask you now, who do you think is best?”

“My daughter-in-law is the best.”

“Who is your wife?”

“You are my daughter-in-law, you better look.”

At the age of thirty, when I wiped the black lotus flowers, I moved all the dumplings into the house. The noodles and stuffing were already prepared. She specially prepared two portions of dumpling stuffing, one with more meat, There are many dishes. She originally wanted to make Changsheng roll out her skin. She made dumplings, thinking that it could be faster, but it took more time to dry than she did. Because Changsheng insisted on rolling each agent into a round shape, it would have to be rubbed and rerolled when it was a little deformed. The lotus looked anxious and took over to do it. After a while, I looked up and found that Changsheng was standing The side by side inspections, as long as they were not round enough, were ruthlessly crumpled into a small noodles and neatly put aside.

The lotus was angry and helpless, but he said straightforwardly: “Grandma said, you must roll the potion into a round piece.” The lotus can’t make it, and he has to rely on him. As a result, the dumplings won’t be eaten until it’s dark. .

Both were hungry enough, and the hot dumplings contained two large plates. Lotus put the dumplings full of meat in front of Changsheng, put two in his bowl and smiled, “Eat more, there are more meatballs on our stovetop.”

Chang Sheng looked at the dumplings on the table. The plate in front of him was full of big ingots. The plate in the lotus was full of small mice. He asked curiously, “How is it different?”

The lotus said casually: “The ingot is meat, and the rat is vegetable. I don’t like to eat more meat. It’s too greasy. You eat more.”

“Oh.” Changsheng poked the big ingot in his bowl, muttered in confusion, “Grandma doesn’t like meat either, she doesn’t like meat…how delicious meat…”

The lotus smiled lightly, and gave him a few more words, saying, “If you think it’s delicious, eat more, eat meat with more strength, and our family will point at you to do the work. Plant the land and rejoice when grandma comes back.”

Longevity thought about it and pretended to be serious: “Oh, then you cook another plate for me, I will eat more and save my energy.”

The lotus smiled and knocked his head with chopsticks, saying, “I still play tricks on me, don’t say you are greedy! Eating pots and pans! You are indispensable!”

Seeing that his careful eyes were pierced, Changsheng shrank his neck and threw out his tongue.

On the second day of the New Year, when the lotus day is not bright, I set up the Kang table, put a small copper frame on the table, and lighted the oil lamp to carefully apply rouge to myself. Painted, painted, either too light, or too thick, she wants to dare to love this rouge must also have skills.

Longevity was awakened by her. He rubbed his eyes and said, confused, “The chicken hasn’t called yet.”

The lotus didn’t respond. Carefully apply the rouge on the cheek and take a photo in the mirror. A large piece of red, how to look awkward, just like the fever caused by illness, it is not like this on the peach blossom. She wiped her face again with a handkerchief, complaining while wiping: “Look, it’s all you talking to me, I’m smeared.”

Longevity is unknown, so he turned over and went to sleep.

The lotus was busy all morning. After getting up and lying on the quilt for a long time, he wore clothes and washed his face. Then he went to the bowl of cold dumplings in the stove and snorted. The lotus was still sitting at the kang table to compete with the rouge on his face. By the time she finally felt barely able to see, a large piece of handkerchief had been dyed red by rouge. Lotus looked at the distressed sigh and said, “It’s a pity, I wasted this old one…”

She put away the rouge box and looked at Changsheng again, frowning: “Who made you wear old clothes!” she said, and took out a water of new clothes from the cabinet to Changsheng, and helped him while nagging, “I’m going back to my mother’s house today. I’ll dress nicely, so my dad and mother like it… and my sister and brother-in-law, according to the old man, my sister is married, the sister who is out of the house can’t come, and we will be married. , This is the first time I saw them, let them see you clean and neat, like a brother-in-law… My two brother-in-laws, I looked at you without your spirit, we have to stand upside down, not let The old clothes are tired… Also, don’t ignore people this time, you hold the things, when you give them to my father, I don’t point to how sweet your mouth is, anyway you call me Dad, don’t look back on my dad, we don’t lose anything…” Lotus finally pulled the cuff of Changsheng and looked up, “Did you remember?”

Changsheng dangled his head and yelled.

When Lotus saw his sullen look, she thought that her words were probably in vain in the ditch, and as expected, staying at the gate of the Li family, she became a dull gourd again.

The two entered the house with something. The lotus first called Dad and Mother with a smile on their face, and then quietly pulled the corner of Changsheng’s clothes.

Longevity didn’t say a word, and took two steps forward. He pulled his head up and raised his hand. The wine jar and snack box pestle in the stunned handle reached the eyes of the lotus father.

The lotus father was startled, and subconsciously flashed back, and his face was black after the reaction.

The lotus was so angry that he glared at him vigorously. He said why would you say it at home, and would like to make dumplings to eat with me? How could he be stunned when he sees the old man, but sincerely find me scolding it? ! .

The lotus lady quickly came to the rescue, took the things in Changsheng’s hands, and said with a smile: “If you come home, you don’t need to take these things. Knowing that you come, I will warm the kang early in the morning, come up and sit down, I will give you Brew water.”

Lotus Road: “Mother, you are resting, I will come.”

The lotus lady stopped her and said, “The girl is out of the house. Where can I still work for you? You can talk with your father. I have burnt all the water and I have to pour it on.” After that, I lifted the curtain and went out.

Lotus took Changsheng to sit on Kang Yan’er, carefully watching her father’s face, and said, “Daddy, how are you?”

The lotus father responded lukewarmly: “Well, okay.”

Lotus said: “That’s good, I’m relieved.”

The lotus father said: “You can rest assured that you will come home.”

The lotus was stunned, but listening to her dad again said with anger: “The water spilled by the married girl…you don’t go further than your sister, they live in this village, take two steps Are you exhausted? You said you have been here a few times in the past six months? Your mother always coughs these days. You’re okay. You only think about your mother’s family. You don’t know how often you come back. Filial piety?”

The lotus shrunk her neck and didn’t know what to say. She actually came home after a short distance, and sent some jujube wild fruit, but she was afraid that her father would scold her. Sit in the stove for a while and leave. Seeing her dad staring at her at this moment makes her feel guilty for no reason, and feels like she is really ignorant of her mother’s unfilial daughter. He also heard that her mother is not well, so she can’t help but worry.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, and Xiaobao ran in from the outside with a chill, and entered the room, Hachi and Hachi, breathing directly.

Lotus pulled Xiao Baodao: “Why are you running so hurriedly?”

Xiaobao apparently just came back after playing with his little friends in the village. He was excited and said with a smile: “A snow battle with Huzi is coming. He will chase me when he is in a hurry. Hey, I can’t run faster!” After wiping his sleeve, he wiped his nose, grabbed a handful of food from the table and tucked it into his pocket.

The lotus father patted his hand fiercely and shouted, “Eating a bite is what the ladies do, what are you guys doing in your pocket!”

Xiaobao was beaten loose, rubbed his paws, and pouted and climbed onto Kang to sit down.

Aside, Changsheng watched Xiaobao beaten, and subconsciously touched his mouth pocket of tucked peanuts, rubbed his hands and rubbed back, and his face became uneasy, more and more like a needle felt.
