The next day, it was still sunny, and the temperature was a little higher than the day that Luo Fei crossed.
Luo Fei woke up early. He wanted to go down and walk around to loosen his muscles, but he felt a burning pain under his butt just after taking the first step. He had no choice but to take back the foot he stepped out, thinking about finding a reason to lie down on the kang for a day.
Luo Yi shouted outside at this time: "Second brother, come out to eat!"
Luo Fei almost blurted out, "What time is it?" !
Well, he got up at the same time yesterday, not much later than others, but why does the rhythm seem to be different today
Sure enough, after holding on to the chrysanthemum pain, he went out to take a look, and all the food on the table was arranged—each person had a bowl of confused porridge.
There is also a small plate of salted dried radish in the middle of the confused porridge, which is the whole content of today's breakfast.
Speaking of muddy porridge, many of the younger generation may not know it, but it is actually a batter of cornmeal cooked with water. If the family is in good condition, you can add some sugar, but sugar was considered a relatively precious thing in ancient times, and generally few people in the countryside could afford it.
"Mother, don't you have pancakes?" Although Luo Ru is a girl, she has a strong mouth and can eat it. At this sight, she looks like a bowl of muddy porridge and pickles that can't be thinner, and she suddenly shows a sad expression.
"There's no more white flour at home, and the rice is almost gone, so let's take a bite." Li Yuehua poured some out of her bowl for her daughter, "Mother's, I'll give you some more."
"No mother, let's give dad and big brother more drinks." Although Luo Ru is greedy, she is a girl with three views, and she has to pour what was in her bowl into other bowls. She knew that her father and eldest brother did the most work every day, so they would definitely not be hungry.
"You still have a body, so you don't need to give it to eldest brother." Roger stopped his sister's movements.
"Don't let it go, eat your own, let it go and let it get cold. But I can't finish it, so I will give Sanbao some points." Luo Fei gave half of his own to his sister. Thinking about it, it makes me sad. You can't eat all-you-can-eat corn gooey, and these days are really hard enough. Although he is in a single-parent family in modern times, his grandmother is a folk artist. Before he came here, he was still teaching classes, and his income was good, and his mother was a strong woman, so his life has never been short of him. . Comparing it now... Mother's this is simply incomparable.
"It's spring, and it's hard for everyone now." Luo Tian said, "But to put it bluntly, our family's harvest is too small, so I discussed it with your mother yesterday and decided to open more mountains this year. Get more food, it should be better than now."
"Starting today, your father and I will go up the mountain with your elder brother, and you will stay at home." Li Yuehua said, "Er Bao, you will have to work harder in the future. Our family's vegetable garden was originally taken care of by your mother. , I have to give it to you this year. We have finished digging the corn root, and today you turn over the ground and put the seeds on the cabbage and corn. "
"Me, myself?" Luo Fei almost spit out the cornmeal.
"Isn't there another Three Treasures and Four Treasures? You can call them together." Li Yuehua said earnestly, "You don't want to get married right now, and your father and I can't force you. If you find someone to rely on, then you can only rely on yourself. In the past, my father and mother felt bad that you were a little brother, and you were weak and weak, and never let you work more. "
"It's fine to work, but can you wait until tomorrow?" Even if he was given one more day of rest, he felt that his chrysanthemum still had a laceration, and he would have to go crazy to dig some seeds in this state today!
"What are you going to do today?" Luo Tian looked suspiciously at the second son who had a "conviction".
"I don't do anything, I just..." Luo Fei didn't know what to say for a while. He knew that it was the best way to go to Xi's house, because what the new parents in front of him wanted most was that he could communicate with Xi Yanqing more. But going to Xi's house is not close to him now. He has to rub off a layer of skin when he walks to the chrysanthemum
"Father, let me tell you the truth!" Luo Fei was heartbroken, "I'm not feeling well today, I want to rest."
"Uncomfortable?" Li Yuehua immediately became nervous. These two sons loved to get sick when they were young. Later, after hearing what the fortune teller said, it would be better to change their name. Why is it uncomfortable now
"Would you like to find a gentleman to have a look?"
"Don't, don't, don't! Don't!" The porridge can't be eaten anymore, and then look at Lang Zhong, can't wait to drink the northwest wind? Luo Fei hurriedly refused, "Mother, I just want to take another day off, by the way, I'll go to Xi's house by the way, didn't the cloth bag stay there when I sent seeds to Xi Yanqing, I'll go get it back. "
"Listen to Lao Tzu!..." Before Luo Tian finished speaking, Li Yuehua pinched him under the table, and his voice was cut off in half.
"That's fine." Li Yuehua said, "but you have to promise your mother that you will grow vegetables tomorrow, do you hear me?"
"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely plant it." Luo Fei sighed secretly, thinking that he would have to move to attend the banquet at this time, who would let his parents eat this set now. He drank the corn paste, thinking in his heart that when his parents were gone, he would ask Luo Yi to go to Xi Yanqing and ask Luo Yi to bring back the cloth bag. As for whether he went or not, that doesn't matter.
After a while, Luo Tian went out with Li Yuehua and Luo Ji. The tiger was not at home, so Luo Fei became the king of the mountain.
Luo Fei called his brother over: "Sibao, didn't you always want to hear Xi Yanqing talk about the war? The second brother will give you a chance, go and fetch our cloth bag, and by the way, let your brother Xi give it to you. Tell me about him, what do you think?"
"Second brother, how can you do this? You told Dad that you were going to Brother Xi's house. Now you let the Four Treasures go. Isn't that letting the Four Treasures deceive people? You are not afraid that Dad will beat you." Luo Ru disagreed . Her parents are used to talking, but there are two exceptions: one is deceiving, and the other is concealing. Her second brother is trying to pluck the hair on the tiger's head.
"Then what should I do? Your second brother, I'm really really uncomfortable right now." Luo Fei pointed to his waist, "My waist hurts, I dare not walk."
"But if Dad finds out, we will definitely get beaten up." Luo Yi looked cowardly, "And Dad said that those who help people cheat and do bad things are called from, where did they come from? Oh, right? , accomplice!"
"What is the accomplice to say so scary." Luo Fei didn't care.
"Father's beating is more scary!" Luo Yi said.
"Oh, if you don't say it, I don't say it, it's unknowingly, who knows?"
"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and the old man who said he was going up the mountain actually came back!
"Okay, Luo Erbao, how dare you lie to me?!" Luo Tian rolled up his sleeves.
"Yes, yes... Dad?" Luo Yi was so frightened that he couldn't say anything, "You, why did you come back so soon?" Luo Yi walked around the corner of the table and walked to Luo Fei.
"It's still early? If I don't come back so early, I don't know that you two brats dare to cheat me together!" Luo Tian was furious, "Luo Erbao! You tell me, what do you mean by 'I don't know what ghosts are'? Feeling 'ah? It's against you!" Luo Tian picked up the dust rake and was about to beat Brother Luo Fei.
"Second brother, why are you still standing there?" Luo Yi said, "Run!"
"Ah! Ah?! Hey, wait, wait, wait! Four treasures, you, you!! Stop it for me! Ah, ah, ah!" Luo Fei was going crazy. Damn, she was dragged to the door without any preparation in her heart. Chrysanthemum, who was briefly paralyzed under the fright, couldn't stand this powerful friction.
"Stop, stop, run! If Dad catches up, we'll be dead!" Luo Yi didn't know where the courage came from, he pulled Luo Fei without even turning his head, and sprinted towards Xi's house with all his heart.
Luo Fei wants him to stop, but this little brother who is very good at pitting the second brother seems to have an electric motor on his leg, and he runs so powerfully! So the running background music became Luo Fei's "Ahhhh!" "Stop, stop, stop!" "Luo Sibao, if you run again, I will fight with you!" "Ahhhh! Fuck!"
Just ran all the way to the door of Xi's house, and the brothers stood down. Luo Fei was out of breath, and Luo Yi turned back. This turn around is incredible, there are quite a few people watching the fun, but none of the people who should be there!
"No, Dad, cough, cough..." Luo Yi beat his chest, "Why didn't Dad follow?"
Luo Fei instantly killed Luo Yi's heart!
On the other side, at the entrance of Luo's house, Li Yuehua looked strangely at the direction of the disappearance of her two sons: "Dad, you really didn't beat them? Why did Erbao scream like killing a pig?"
Luo Tian was also a little strange: "Can I still run if I hit them? Could it be that Erbao really has back pain?"
"Can't you? I think he runs very fast." Li Yuehua was confused, but quickly laughed out loud, "But that's okay, he ran to Xi's house anyway."
"Second treasure is just spoiled. The Xi family is such a good boy, he is not happy." Luo Tian thought about it and felt that the second son was suspected of being kicked by a donkey in his head.
"It's probably because of the Zhang family. Forget it, there will always be a day when I want to open." Li Yuehua patted her sleeves and walked into the vegetable garden.
"Where are you going? Didn't you say go to open the land?" Luo Tian asked.
"What kind of land are you going to open? Erbao has already gone to Xi's house. Today, I will plant the little cabbage first, so as not to delay eating, you and Dabao can go and open it." Originally, I wanted to use the trick of letting the children work He hides out, because these two sons are coddled and have never liked to work. Originally thought that it would take a little thought to teach the child to learn to hide in Xi's house, but I didn't expect that it would be easy to pass
As soon as Luo Tian thought about it, he carried the pickaxe and walked up the mountain with his eldest son.
But at the door of Xi's house, the righteous guy Luo Yi finally found that his second brother was a little wrong: "Second brother, are you all right? Why is your face so ugly?"
Luo Fei waved his hands, sweating profusely, and he was unable to speak in pain. He wants to be a newspaper now!
Luo Yi suddenly thought that Luo Fei was uncomfortable at home, and immediately became a little nervous. He slammed on the door and shouted, "Brother Xi! Brother Xi, are you at home?"
Xi Yanqing was at home. He just finished boiling the water and was about to take a shower. It's too dark at night, he's not used to it, and he usually doesn't come here, so he locks the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as I took off my clothes, someone called the door.
Hearing that it wasn't Luo Fei's voice, Xi Yanqing didn't go out directly, but after a while, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be Luo Fei in the voice he heard before, so he put on his clothes again and responded: " coming!"
Luo Yi looked relieved: "Second brother, why are you uncomfortable?"
Luo Fei glared at his brother, and his voice seemed to be squeezed between his teeth: "Shut up, hurry home with me!"
Let him throw his face in front of Xi Yanqing, he might as well die! He thought Xi Yanqing was not at home before, so he poured his breath at the door, but now that he heard the voices, he didn't want to stay any longer.
"Don't, second brother, you are so painful, go in and rest for a while before leaving." Luo Yi hurriedly grabbed Luo Fei, "Besides, do you want to get the cloth bag back if you don't say anything?"
"Are you here to get the cloth bag?" Xi Yanqing came out quickly, but when he saw Luo Fei's pale face, his brows furrowed tightly, "What's wrong?"
"It's alright!" Luo Fei straightened his back, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly said, "Let's get back the small cloth bag, the one that filled you with seeds earlier."
"Brother Xi, my second brother seems to have a backache." The second brother of the pit went online again, "He's just stubborn, can you let him in for a while?"
"It's all said to go home!" Luo Fei didn't want Xi Yanqing to see anything, so he just walked away. But the professional quality of the second brother's professional household is not covered, and he just grabbed the door frame and didn't let go.
"Second brother, when you go home now, Dad will definitely beat us up. Let's stay at Brother Xi's place first. Let's go back and let Brother Xi take us back. He will talk to Dad again, and Dad may be able to calm down." Luo Yi can see it, his father used to see his brother Xi pleasing to the eye, and it will be pleasing to the eye in a few years.
"Luo Fei, you won't be beaten, right?" Xi Yanqing frowned even more. He wanted to help Luo Fei, but seeing that Luo Fei's muscles were tense, he instinctively released a message of resisting touch, so he didn't help.
Luo Fei felt extremely painful even taking a step now, and he deeply doubted that his poor chrysanthemum might have more than one wound. When he was running fast just now, he didn't have time to feel it carefully, but now when he moves, he vaguely feels that something is not right. It's like, as if a bag has grown on it, or it's swollen. Anyway, it's very uncomfortable.
"I can't..." Luo Fei muttered. Is it infected
"Are you sure you want to continue to stand here for others to look at you like you're hesitant to say anything but very aggrieved?" Xi Yanqing looked into the distance. There is no shortage of gossip people in the village. Luo Fei made such a stop at his door at this moment, and maybe something will come out in the future.
"You've stopped talking and you are very wronged, who is wronged?!" Luo Fei glared at Xi Yanqing angrily, "It hurts in the back!"
"Is it?"
"Why are you lying to me?" Luo Fei clenched his hands and moved inward while supporting the pain—the key was that it was so painful that he couldn't walk home, so he could only have a cheeky rest here at Xi Yanqing. As for why not stand at the door? Biting spring breeze, dear!
"Did he say why his back hurts?" Xi Yanqing asked Luo Yi after watching for a while. He felt that Luo Fei's walking didn't look like he had a backache.
"I didn't say it, just said back pain." Luo Yi was also a little confused.
Luo Fei entered the house and saw a large wooden bathtub in the kitchen at a glance. Although this basin is not new, it contains half a cup of hot water, and I exhale with the heat outside, and I feel comfortable watching it.
He hasn't taken a bath since he came. He secretly took some water to the hut to wash it last night. When he went out, the water was still hot, but when he successfully washed the chrysanthemum, the water became cold. At the end of March now, the temperature outside is still very low at night, and the water will become cold in a while. Well, he doesn't want to remember this hard thing now. Anyway, the reality is that there is no such thing as a bathtub in his house. To clean his body, he basically uses a small wooden tub to decorate his body with hot water and wipe his body. In summer, he simply showers outside, or washes in the river.
In the last life, I wanted to take a bath twice a day, but now...
Luo Fei stared at the hot water in the bathtub for a while.
Why? When Xi Yanqing walked through, he had his own house, fields, vegetable gardens, and his own bathtub! He wants nothing, even the toilet chips, he has to cut it himself to have a special one for himself!
The chrysanthemum was scratched before it was cut!
The more Luo Fei thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and then he heard Xi Yanqing ask: "Do you want to wash?" Xi Yanqing said, "I have a lot of water to boil."
This is simply naked temptation!
Luo Fei asked almost instinctively, "Can, can you?"
Luo Yi, who secretly observed the exchange between the two, instantly widened his eyes: Second brother, are you crazy, second brother? ! You are going to shower my mother at Brother Xi's house before you even get through the door. What should I do at this time? Should I stop you or find a reason to turn around and leave? Brother Xi, you are wrong, you know!
Luo Yi felt that Xi Yanqing simply did not give his second brother a way out. If he took this bath, wouldn't his second brother have no choice in the future? !
But... isn't this what the family expects? Especially my father and mother, they must be very happy to hear it! Besides, as long as you don't let outsiders know about it, you'll be fine! The most important thing is that maybe his father won't beat him when he is happy!
After Luo Yi figured it out, his heart suddenly became clear: "Oh, brother Xi, second brother, I suddenly have a stomachache, I have to go home quickly!"
Luo Yi ran out before he could finish speaking, and Luo Fei didn't hold back when he wanted to.
Seeing that Luo Fei was still a little tangled, Xi Yanqing took a clean towel and placed it on the table beside the bathtub: "I still have something to do in my vegetable garden, you can do whatever you want, but it's best not to get your hair wet."
Luo Fei asked subconsciously, "Why?"
Xi Yanqing just walked to the door, when she heard the words, she turned her head and smiled lightly, and asked, "What do you think?"
