It was sunny for two or three days in a row, and the seedlings were almost finished planting. On the fourth day, it suddenly rained early in the morning. The rain was not light, and those who went to the field had to stay at home.
It was a bit uncomfortable to suddenly be idle. He Xiaoyun remembered that the room hadn't been cleaned for many days, so she brought a bucket of water and planned to wipe the bedside and wardrobe.
In the room, her territory and Wei Jianwei's territory were clearly separated. The bed and wardrobe belonged to her, while the table and suitcase belonged to him. As for Wei Yuanhang, he jumped around everywhere, and there were traces of him everywhere.
After cleaning her place, looking at Wei Jianwei, remembering that this person helped her carry water before, He Xiaoyun felt that she should not be too narrow-minded, so she twisted the towel again and wiped the other side as well.
When I wiped the table, I found a book on the table. She knew before that Wei Jianwei would sometimes read books for a while at night, just to not seem to pay too much attention to him, she hadn't paid attention to it all the time, now looking at the book in front of her, remembering her great ambition of going to university, she couldn't help flipping through it .
This is one of the volumes of "One Hundred Thousand Whys". He Xiaoyun thought it was funny at first. Wei Jianwei, who is not too young, still reads this kind of children's books. Books are different. The current "One Hundred Thousand Whys" actually teaches people how to use firearms and tactical knowledge!
Originally, she only intended to have a casual look, but after reading a few pages, she unconsciously put the towel in her hand aside and read it seriously.
When she noticed Wei Jianwei walking in, it was too late for her to put the book down.
"That..." When she was found to have moved the other party's things without authorization, she was a little lacking in confidence, and explained in a low voice, "I'm going to clean the table for you..."
Wei Jianwei glanced at the book in her hand, said nothing, stepped forward and opened the desk drawer, took out a comic book from it, and handed it to Wei Yuanhang who came in after him.
He Xiaoyun's eyes were straightened. She hadn't touched this big desk. Before Wei Jianwei came back, every time she cleaned the room, she just wiped it on the desk. She never knew that the three drawers of the desk were so stuffed. It's full of books!
"Mom, Dad show me comic books!" Wei Yuanhang said happily while holding the comic book.
He Xiaoyun nodded absent-mindedly, her heart has been taken away by Wei Jianwei's book.
This era advocates the theory that reading is useless. Many people do not like to read. Students do not have any teaching materials other than textbooks in class, and some schools do not even teach textbook knowledge. Going to work in the field, as for the extracurricular reading materials, there are very few extracurricular reading materials. He Xiaoyun has never seen a book during the time he has been here, and even Wei Jianhua was at home on weekends two days ago, and he did not see him take out a book to take a look. .
As a result, Wei Jianwei, a soldier who is not even an educated youth, has so many books, why didn't she be surprised
After doing the cleaning, I went to the main room. The neighbor Aunt Zhang came to visit with her granddaughter Yanyan. Wei Yuanhang and Yanyan were reading comic books together.
He Xiaoyun took a small stool and sat under the eaves to watch the rain. In the dense rain curtain, the mountains in the distance and the fields nearby seemed to be covered with a layer of light veil. Thin and lonely.
Aunt Zhang suddenly mentioned the idiot at the head of the village, and someone hooked him up, who was from the commune next door, who was also an idiot, "If I could have a normal child, my old sister-in-law would be gone, and I could close my eyes. "
The old sister-in-law she is talking about is the mother of a fool. When she was young, her husband died and she took care of a foolish son. Now that she is getting older, she is afraid that her son will be left behind after her death, so she wants to marry her son and have a child. , while she can still work for a few more years, raise the grandson, and when she goes away, the grandson will continue to raise the son.
He Xiaoyun heard it in her ears, and couldn't help asking: "What if the child born is abnormal?"
Parents are fools, what is the probability of having a smart child? Even if he was lucky enough to meet him, when this child grows up, the elderly grandma and both stupid parents will be on his shoulders. How heavy is his burden
Aunt Zhang said: "Any stupid one will give birth to another one, and a good one will always be born."
He Xiaoyun didn't know what to say.
Feng Qiuyue subconsciously touched her protruding belly, frowned and said regretfully, "The child is also pitiful."
"It's pitiful, who says it's not pitiful?" Aunt Zhang said, "My old sister-in-law has worked hard all her life for her stupid son. When she gets old, her funeral has not been found, and she has to continue to worry about her son. If she can be ruthless, Before I kick my legs, I first poured pesticides on the fool, and this life will be clean."
Just feeling emotional, the two children in the room had finished reading the comic books at some point, and ran to the room to take out the wooden box containing the eggs, Wei Yuanhang excitedly shouted: "Mom, come and see, Nuan has really become a bug!" !"
Seeing him stumbling, He Xiaoyun hurriedly opened her hand to catch him and the box together.
After catching the eggs that day, the wooden box was carried back to the room by Wei Yuanhang. In the first two days, he took it out from time to time to have a look, but the eggs never hatched, and the child quickly lost patience, and threw the box to the back of his head. It was to be shown to Yanyan before it was moved out again, but the eggs had already hatched.
He Xiaoyun looked at the light, five worms hatched out of six eggs, and one egg did not move, probably did not survive. The newly born worms are light yellow, with some burrs on their bodies, crawling on the vegetable leaves. The leaves inside have been stored for several days, and they are no longer fresh, with a mildewy smell.
"I'll pick vegetables for the little bugs to eat!" He ran into the kitchen and tore off a leaf from the cabbage he had just picked this morning, followed by Yanyan, who also tore off a leaf.
When Aunt Zhang saw it, she quickly stopped her granddaughter, "Don't touch Yanyan!"
"What's the matter," Wang Chunhua said, "a few leaves are not valuable things. You don't know, our second child is the one who wastes good wooden boards, makes a wooden box for the child, and pampers him." Raising vegetable bugs, I said he doesn't look like an adult at all."
Aunt Zhang laughed when she heard it, "Jianwei has always had ideas, and others can't think of raising vegetables and bugs."
"You have an idea." Wang Chunhua spat, and then she laughed too.
He Xiaoyun helped the child replace the cabbage leaves in the box. The two children met each other and squatted there looking at it non-stop. She also observed it for a while. She was really bored, thinking about the books in that drawer, and ran back to the room again.
Wei Jianwei was sitting at the table reading a book. She walked in as if nothing had happened, straightened the bed, touched the wardrobe, flicked the dust that did not exist on the mosquito net, and coughed several times during the process, but the person at the table was as stable as Mount Tai, motionless.
She couldn't hold back any longer, she walked over slowly and stood on the opposite side of the table.
The light was blocked, and the other party finally raised his head.
In need of help, He Xiaoyun forced a smile on her face, "Lend me your book, please?"
She recalled her attitude towards Wei Jianwei in the past few days. Although she could not say that she was thoughtful and enthusiastic, it was still considered courteous. If she borrowed a few books, he should agree... right
Wei Jianwei really acted generously, opened the drawer, and took out a large stack of comic books from inside, "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", the four major classics are short of "Dream of Red Mansions".
He Xiaoyun stared blankly at the stack of books. What the other party showed Wei Yuanhang just now was a volume in "Journey to the West". It was also a small book for her. What do you mean, she looks so uneducated, she can only read it Children's books
"Don't do this, I don't read comic books."
Wei Jianwei then took out another copy of "Selected Compositions for Primary School Students". Seeing that she didn't respond, he took out another copy of "Youth Literature and Art".
He Xiaoyun saw it, this guy did it on purpose.
In this case, she stopped being polite and civilized to him, and simply rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, took a copy by herself, took it out and looked at it, it was "Youth Travel Handbook", which was worthy of her level. Well!
The two sat facing each other and read books. In the main room, Aunt Zhang saw that she was silent after returning to the room, so she couldn't help asking Wang Chunhua, "I think Xiaoyun and Jianwei have reconciled?"
In the past, when she was in her own house next door, she could always hear the aggressive voice of the second daughter-in-law of the Wei family. To be honest, she felt that although this girl looked shrewd and aggressive, she was actually quite stupid.
Is there anything that can't be said behind closed doors, so that everyone knows? Not only is she divorced from her husband, but her in-laws don't like her, and she is also a joke for others.
But whoever has eyes, who can't see that Jianwei will have a bright future in the future. With such a husband, if she doesn't win over her well, she quarrels with the sky every day over trivial matters. Isn't this throwing away the watermelon and picking sesame seeds
When mentioning the second daughter-in-law, the smile on Wang Chunhua's face faded, but the other party has indeed changed a lot these days, and she didn't want to speak ill of her family in front of outsiders, so she just said: "Young people, it's better to quarrel for a while."
"That's right," Aunt Zhang said, "that brat in my family had a fight with his wife the day before, and he seemed to be fine this morning, so I said he is a dog and has a dog temper. "
"Where are the puppies?" Wei Yuanhang asked hurriedly after hearing the second half of the sentence while playing next to him.
Aunt Zhang was overjoyed, and teased him: "There are no puppies, but there are children. Your parents are giving birth to your little sister in the room!"
Wang Chunhua patted her and scolded with a smile: "You are not serious, tell the child this."
"What are you afraid of? He doesn't understand." Aunt Zhang laughed more and more.
Children really don't understand, but they have a good memory and strong curiosity. That night, when Wei Yuanhang was playing on his father's bed, he suddenly thought of this question and asked, "Where's my little sister?"
Wei Jianwei looked down at him, then at He Xiaoyun.
On the other side of the room, He Xiaoyun was also confused, "What little sister?"
The little brat shouted loudly: "Auntie and mother-in-law said that father and mother are giving birth to a little sister!"
He Xiaoyun was almost choked to death by the saliva, so she stepped forward and carried the child back to her bed, stopped reading and went to sleep.
