When Jihuan woke up the next day, the pillows were all wet.
Weeping.
Grandpa entered his room at some point, his rough palm seemed to want to touch his face, but accidentally touched the wet pillow.
"Xiaohua, are you awake? Grandpa is going to wake you up, but why is it so wet here?" Grandpa asked in confusion.
"Oh? Black egg pissing." Without changing his face, Ji Huan threw the cauldron to the only black egg in the room who couldn't speak.
Hearing his uncle calling his name, the black egg crawled out from under the towel and quilt. He didn't seem to wake up, and was still trying to scratch his eyes with his small paws.
"Ouch! This is really a big soak of urine. Let's continue to pack diapers after the black egg." Grandpa said, but his expression was always smiling. He picked up Jihuan's pillow and walked out with the pillow. .
He quickly put the school uniform on his body, and Ji Huan hugged the black egg and looked out: Grandpa was sitting in the yard washing the pillow towel, and the pillow core was clipped by Grandpa and hung in the yard to dry. on the clothesline.
The things that are placed in Grandpa's laundry tub now are: pillow towel, Jihuan's underwear, socks, black egg's green apron...
All the messy things are mixed together. Jihuan said it several times before, but grandpa always forgets it next time. Then, now that grandpa can't see it, it is even more difficult to classify.
The person washing clothes in the simple but clean courtyard is obviously a little old man, but, for some reason, in Jihuan's eyes at this moment, the person who helps Jihuan wash his pillow towels, socks and underwear has become a terrible monster with horns .
He is so tall and looks so vicious, but at this time, he is carefully washing his pillows and socks, oh! There is also a small green apron.
He washes very carefully.
But there will still be a few holes in it - Jihuan thought to himself.
Ever since he was a child, Ji Huan has always known that Grandpa has too much strength to wash clothes. Every time he washes a good clothes, there are definitely a few more holes in it.
There are holes in every pair of Jihuan's jeans. It's not because of fashion, but because Grandpa is strong and loves to work.
=-=
Fortunately, Grandpa also knew this, so he never helped Jihuan wash school uniforms.
"Grandpa, you washed your panties and socks together again!" After saying something as usual, Ji Huan continued, "I'm going to cook."
As usual, he pulled a handful of green vegetables from the vegetable garden at home. Thinking of how the shofar vomited in his dream yesterday, Ji Huan stopped while holding the vegetable bowl.
"... They are cruel, never live in groups, and are pure flesh-eating monsters that are rare among monsters... "
Ah Jin's words flashed through his mind again.
Jihuan ran to the refrigerator with the vegetable bowl in his hand. After opening the refrigerator, he was stunned: there was no piece of meat, only two fish that Grandpa caught.
"Grandpa doesn't like meat, but he likes vegetables." Grandpa used to say this since he was a child, and Jihuan believed it too.
"Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei love to eat fish so much, can Grandpa fish for you every day?" Just because of this sentence, Grandpa went out fishing every day, fishing for more than ten years, his eyes couldn't see clearly and he never stopped.
… they love meat and hate fishy smells…
Another sentence that A Jin said appeared in Ji Huan's mind.
Biting his lip, Ji Huan put the vegetable bowl to the side of the pool, and then ran to the pigsty.
Dabai has already given birth to seven piglets in total. Because Jihuan took good care of them, all of them survived and started to grow meat. Jihuan didn't plan to eat them. , he discussed with grandpa and planned to sell it during Chinese New Year, but...
Biting his lip, Ji Huan jumped into the pigsty, grabbed the fattest little piglet from it, and ran into the kitchen with it.
Jihuan loves to be clean, and the little piglets are still young. It is summer again. Jihuan often takes them to the kitchen to take a shower. After a long time, the little piglets have become accustomed to Jihuan holding them and walking around. He is a very fond of bathing, and when he saw Jihuan bring him to the kitchen, he curled up his little tail happily.
Put the piglet in the water basin, and then, Jihuan covered its eyes.
Hands up and down—
The straight white ring stared at his uncle, and the black egg tilted his head and sniffed.
Jihuan also took a breath.
Then he started to work.
When he removed the palm that covered Piggy's eyes, revealing a pair of small eyes below, he sniffed again.
And then, he completely calmed down.
Pig blood is collected, guts are cleaned, and the piglet's body is broken down into pieces.
This morning, Jihuan stewed a large pot of pork, and the fragrant smell wafted far away. Grandpa was seduced by the smell from outside.
"Xiaohua, this is... pork? In the morning, where did you buy it?" Grandpa knows very well that there is no meat at home, and he rarely eats meat at home. He cooks meat occasionally, and it is almost always eaten by Jihuan, of course. , When Xiao Hei was still there, Xiao Hei also liked to eat meat.
"I just killed a small pig of our own pig." Ji Huan said calmly. He didn't think about buying meat from outside today and doing it at night, but when he thought of the dream last night, he thought of that pig. The emaciated monster who vomited, he couldn't bear it for even a second.
Jihuan stirred the pieces of meat in the pot: "Grandpa, smell it, is it fragrant?"
Saying that, he took a chopstick of pork and put it next to Grandpa's nose.
The gravy accidentally tickled onto the black egg's face, who was looking at his uncle and grandpa Zeng seriously. He stretched out his small paw to wipe off the gravy, and the black egg licked it, and then vomited.
Black eggs really don't like meat.
"Hey! Xiaohuaer, what are you doing? You forgot Grandpa, I don't like meat..." Grandpa's reaction was a little flustered. He took a few steps back, and it seemed that he really wanted to avoid it. It looks like Jihuan would have believed it before, but now...
Ji Huan noticed the saliva secreted from the corner of Grandpa's mouth.
So he firmly stuffed the pork into Grandpa's mouth.
"I watched the health channel, and experts said that the elderly don't like to eat meat, but if they don't like it, they have to eat it. In the future, our family will buy meat to eat regularly." A new purchase order was agreed.
This morning, the grandparents ate stewed meat.
The black egg is not used to the smell of stewed meat, so he still drinks milk powder, eats eggs, and finally comes with a bowl of vegetable puree - green green!
Seeing that Grandpa said he didn't like to eat, but chopsticks flew eagerly, Ji Huan stiffly bent the corners of his mouth.
However, Grandpa still continues to weaken. People seem to have a time point. Before this time point, they are strong and strong, and even if they accidentally grow a wrinkle, they will not feel that they are aging; however, at the other side of this time point, Not at all.
Suddenly old, decayed, and full of anger - today's grandfather is standing on the other side of the time point.
Even though Jihuan had cooked meat stuffed for him at every meal, he was like a deflated balloon, shriveled day by day. More than half of the bones on the horned monster in the dream have turned gray.
So when I met A Jin again at the part-time job that day, Ji Huan suddenly asked him a question:
"Karas... Is it okay to eat pork and beef?"
His question rarely made A Jin startled, and then Ji Huan saw A Jin smile: "How is that possible? Karas is a middle-level monster, how can a low-level creature like pigs and cattle work on them? The inferior flesh will only stimulate their taste buds and make them more bloodthirsty and cruel..."
Jihuan was stunned.
So the next day, he stopped the luxury of stewing meat every morning for the first time. He cooked a bowl of red bean porridge, using only red beans and white rice, and then added a little blood from his own wrist.
