Soybeans were soaked overnight, until they swelled and swelled. The next day, they were taken to the threshing ground and ground into soybean juice with a stone mill.
When the soy milk was cooking, Wei Yuanhang lingered by the stove. When the soy milk was boiling, Wang Chunhua filled a bowl for him and put a small spoonful of sugar.
Just as he was sent away, he ordered tofu with white vinegar. When the tofu curds gradually took shape, Wei Jianhua came again, just like his three-year-old nephew, poking his head into the pot.
Wang Chunhua said angrily, "How old is he, and he's still hungry."
Having said that, I also made a bowl of tofu nao for him. After thinking about it, I simply served a bowl for everyone in the family, and even made a special sauce.
The tofu flowers just out of the pot are white, tender and slippery, and there is a fragrance of soybeans. It is a rare delicacy in this year.
He Xiaoyun felt that she had fallen a little bit. She was not a greedy person in the past, but now she wanted to have another bowl after eating one bowl. She rubbed her belly and sighed, it was all caused by lack of material.
There was more than one person who had the same idea as her and wanted to have another serving after eating. Wei Jianhua and Wei Yuanhang took empty bowls and ran to the kitchen again. As a result, the smaller one got half of the bowl, but the big one was ignored by Wang Chunhua. He rushed out politely.
Wei Jianhua was not discouraged, rolled his eyes, and ran to coax his little nephew.
When the tofu was ready, Wang Chunhua asked He Xiaoyun to give a piece to Aunt Zhang next door. The two families live close to each other, and they usually give each other something if they have something.
When Wei Yuanhang heard that he was going to Yanyan's house, he also came over to go with her.
The yard of Aunt Zhang's house is smaller than that of Wei's house, and there is also a small vegetable garden in the yard. At this time, she is squatting in the vegetable garden and weeding. Seeing He Xiaoyun coming to the door, she said, "Hey, what can you give me?"
He Xiaoyun smiled and said, "My mother just made a plate of tofu, and I'll give you some to try."
"Your mother is really, there are so many people in the family, why do you send me here." Saying so, Aunt Zhang hurriedly stood up, wiped her hands on the apron, and took He Xiaoyun's bowl, "This bowl is waiting to be cleaned Yes, I'll send it to you again."
"Okay." He Xiaoyun nodded.
While the two were talking, Wei Yuanhang had already run into the house familiarly, searched inside and outside, and ran out again, "Auntie, where is Yanyan?"
"You're late," Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "Yanyan went to grandma's house with her mother this morning."
The child let out an oh, a little disappointed.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang teased him: "You like Yanyan so much, when you grow up, let her be your daughter-in-law, together every day, okay?"
Wei Yuanhang tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and asked, "Are we together during the day and at night?"
Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "Of course we have to be together, otherwise how can we call them husband and wife?"
Wei Yuanhang then lowered his head and thought again.
He Xiaoyun laughed and said, "My aunt is teasing you. Auntie, let's go first."
"Hey, you guys go back first, I'll go talk to your mother in the afternoon."
The mother and son left Aunt Zhang's house, thinking about the time, there was nothing to do when they went back, so He Xiaoyun simply took the child for a walk outside.
Walking to the river, she saw that the grass beads were growing well, so she picked a handful and could string two bracelets in her free time.
"Mom, I don't want Yanyan to be my daughter-in-law." The child who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke out in surprise.
He Xiaoyun almost fell into the river when she heard this, she quickly stood up, looked back at Wei Yuanhang with a serious expression on her face, angrily and funny: "You really dare to think, aunt and grandma are just joking, so take it seriously Is it? Yanyan doesn’t want you yet.”
Before the child could speak, she asked again: "Tell me, why don't you want Yanyan to be your wife?"
Wei Yuanhang frowned and said, "From then on, I will sleep on the floor, and the bed will be for her."
This was nonsensical, He Xiaoyun didn't understand it at first, and it took a while to figure it out, probably because of the current state of her and Wei Jianwei, which made the little kid mistakenly think that after marriage, they should give up the bed to others. The daughter-in-law sleeps, and I can only sleep on the ground.
She was a little dumbfounded, and wanted to say a few words to fool her, but she was also worried that the child would continue to misunderstand, and she was also afraid that someone would ask about it one day, and people would know that she and Wei Jianwei had been sleeping in separate beds, and there would be many rumors.
She thought for a while, squatted down and looked at the child, "There is no need to give him the bed. After we get married, the two of us will sleep together. Your father sleeps on the ground because our bed is too small, and he is afraid of turning over. Overwhelm you, when you grow up a bit later and have your own bed, Dad can sleep on the bed."
"Does Dad want to sleep in my bed?" Wei Yuanhang asked with wide-eyed eyes.
"It's not your bed, it's where you sleep now, and it will be Dad's in the future."
"I don't want it!" The little boy rushed over and hugged his mother, "I don't want to be separated from my mother, daddy sleeps on the floor!"
"Uh..." He Xiaoyun laughed dumbly. She thought this little fat man would feel sorry for his father who was sleeping on the floor, but he was only worried about whether his land would be robbed. It seems that this father and son are also plastic flowers.
After walking around and returning home, I happened to help make lunch.
While the fire was burning, the sound of firecrackers suddenly came from outside, and it seemed that many people were talking.
Feng Qiuyue walked to the door and looked at it, and said, "It's over there at Dongtou, does anyone have a wedding?"
Wang Chunhua thought about it for a while, and said, "A while ago, your Aunt Zhang mentioned that it was that fool who got married."
Feng Qiuyue and He Xiaoyun said "Oh" and stopped asking.
After hearing what Aunt Zhang said that day, the two of them had talked in private, and they didn't agree with the matter of letting a fool have a child.
He Xiaoyun used to live in an era where eugenics and prenatal care were emphasized. Although some people believed that having children is everyone’s right, even if they are fools, they should not be deprived of it. But most people are more rational. After all, having children is only for a while, but raising children It is a matter of decades. If a child is born with the same disease, who is responsible for his life
Feng Qiuyue is about to become a mother. She hopes to give the best to her children, so when she thinks about what the fool's children will face in the future, she feels a little pity.
But the idiot's mother did this out of her love for her child, fearing that if she died, her son would be left alone.
So in this matter, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong.
Unlike the many emotions of adults, children only need to have fun to join in.
As soon as the firecrackers went off, Wei Jianhua took Wei Yuanhang to see the bride, and didn't come back until dinner was about to start. Everyone held a handful of peanuts and melon seeds.
"It's time to eat, don't eat those messy things, you are really, such a big person, if you don't do something good, let Xiaohang learn, and do this kind of thing every day." Wang Chunhua will inevitably read Wei Jianhua again, But judging by the way he was laughing and joking, it was obvious that he didn't listen.
Aunt Zhang came to the house in the afternoon, and sure enough, she also talked about the fool's marriage.
"I went to see the excitement. The bride looks good, and she can't see anything on the outside, but her mind is not normal."
Wang Chunhua said: "Speaking of which, silly Abao is actually quite energetic. If both of them are well, they will be a good match."
Abao is the name of the fool at the head of the village. Aunt Zhang talked to Wang Chunhua, feeling a pity.
There is no entertainment at night in the countryside. After dark, everyone washes up and goes back to the room early.
What He Xiaoyun said to Wei Yuanhang at the riverside in the morning, He Xiaoyun just said it and forgot it. Seeing the child playing wildly, she thought he had forgotten it too, but this kid still remembered it.
That night, Wei Yuanhang didn't go to Wei Jianwei's place to play as usual, but climbed into bed early to play with building blocks, and after a while he would look up at his father. He looked like a dragon guarding gold coins.
Wei Jianwei noticed something and looked at him a few times.
The more he looked, the more vigilant the little fat man became. Then he forced He Xiaoyun onto the bed and sat in her arms with his mother and the bed beside him. Then he turned to Wei Jianwei and said, "Daddy has his own bed, don't rob me." of."
Rao Wei Jianwei was a little puzzled when he heard this sentence suddenly. He asked He Xiaoyun, "What did he say?"
He Xiaoyun shook her head innocently. Of the three in the room, she was the only one who knew everything that happened, but it was hard to tell Wei Jianwei what she said in the morning, and the child couldn't explain it, so she just pretended not to know.
Wei Yuanhang was also afraid of what she would say, so he hurriedly said: "Nothing, Mom didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything, right Mom?"
His performance is a vivid interpretation of what is called no silver three hundred taels here. He Xiaoyun suppressed a smile and nodded cooperatively, "Yes, what did you say? It's your father who thinks too much."
Only then did the child feel relieved, and not long after, he fell asleep, and He Xiaoyun lay down for a while, and then began to feel drowsy, half awake and half asleep, and suddenly had another trouble.
She wants to go to the toilet.
The food at night was a bit salty, so she drank more water, and usually went to the toilet again before going to bed, but today Wei Yuanhang kept watching and refused to let her go, so she failed.
She originally wanted to bear it, but it was okay if she couldn't bear it. After she endured it, she felt more and more obvious that she wanted to urinate, and she became more and more energetic. The sleepy bug just ran away, so she had no choice but to sit up.
The lights in the room had long been turned off, and there was no movement in Wei Jianwei's direction, and he probably fell asleep too. Not wanting to wake the two of them up, she didn't turn on the light, but waited for her eyes to adapt to the dimness before groping to stand up.
The furniture in the room was placed against the wall, only Wei Jianwei's floor was placed in the center, she walked slowly along the wall, finally came to the door, ran out lightly to use the toilet, and then ran back .
The night outside was a little brighter than inside the house. When I just came in from the outside, my eyes were pitch black, even darker than before, and I couldn't see anything.
He Xiaoyun had no choice but to rely on her memory and tentatively move forward in the dark.
First turn right, one step, two steps, three steps... Go to the wall, then turn left, one step, two steps, three steps...
It should be ok, He Xiaoyun left the wall and walked towards what she thought was the bed.
One step, two steps, three—
"Plop—"
She fell headlong into Wei Jianwei's bed.
