"Rong Rong, why did you run out?" Rong Yao came out of the kitchen with the medicine in his hand, and saw Rong Yu walking by the wall, and hurried over: "Quick, go back, and apply the medicine to you."
The medicine prescribed by Grandpa Chen does not need to be taken internally, but is boiled into a paste and pasted on the back. In fact, it has been boiled long ago and kept cooling.
"It stinks." Rong Yu wrinkled his nose and turned his face away.
"I've been smoked all afternoon in the kitchen! Put it on me too." Rong Yao poked Rong Yu with his elbow, making him smile, and thanked him in a low voice.
"You're welcome, let's go." Rong Yao said rudely.
The person speaking inside heard the voice outside, the two elders didn't think much about it, but Ying Xun was flustered, stood up quickly, said to help Rong Rong and apply the medicine, and went out hastily.
"Xiao Xun has been back for a few days, and he has a good relationship with Xiao Yu." Mother Rong said happily.
"Boys in the same age group are easy to get along with." Father Rong said with a smile.
When Ying Xun returned to the room, Rong Yao was already applying medicine to Rong, and the black medicine applied to her fair skin was amazingly beautiful.
"You've been in the sun for so long since you came back, why are you still so white?" Rong Yao jealously poked Rong Yu's waist, itching him so much that he wanted to hide with a smile, then pulled his back again, and gasped.
"Don't tease him." Ying Xun walked in, pushed Rong Yao aside, took the medicine bowl, and helped to wipe it on.
Rong Yao made a grimace, squatted on the bedside, touched Rong Yu's forehead, sweated in one hand, stretched out his head to look at the quilt that was so wet that he couldn't get down, and frowned, it seemed that two basins of ice were still not enough.
After Rong Yu finished taking the medicine, the tingling pain was relieved a lot, and he fell asleep again with his eyes closed.
Ying Xun went out to wash the dishes, picked up his hat and sack, and dragged out the tricycle hoe. The crackling sound startled everyone.
"Xiao Xun, where are you going?" Mother Rong was washing mulberry leaves, saw his movements, thought for a while, there is no farm work in the afternoon!
"I'll go dig some saltpeter and come back." I went to borrow saltpeter before and agreed to pay Grandpa Chen twice as much. It looks like Rong Yu will lie down for another two days, and now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and he can't stand being shirtless, let alone lying on the quilt.
"I'll go too." Rong Yao took his hat and followed Ying Xun.
The two left the courtyard, and after walking for a while, Rong Yao suddenly asked, "Are you here for Xiao Yu?"
Ying Xun frowned and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Intuition," Rong Yao said with a smile, "Intuition."
Ying Xun and Xiaoyu should have never met before he came back, but after these days, Rong Yao somehow felt that they had known each other for a long time. More precisely, Ying Xun seems to have known Xiaoyu for a long time.
The two didn't speak any more, and they walked for almost thirty minutes before arriving at their destination.
The saltpeter is on the side of the mountain, which was exposed after a mudslide. Grandpa Chen sometimes went up the mountain to find some herbs, and found it by accident.
The two of them picked up the saltpeter with hoes, and when they were almost finished, they packed them into sacks, and they stopped after filling three full sacks.
When I got home again, it was already six o'clock in the evening. I thought cooking had started, but there was no smoke coming from the kitchen. The two of them looked at each other, walked around the alley in the kitchen, and entered the courtyard. Dad supported him while Mom wiped his chest with a wet towel.
Rong Yu's chest was covered with red dots, it was prickly heat.
"Hahaha," Rong Yao was amused, and ran over to poke Rong Yu's chest, but Ying Xun grabbed his hand from behind: "You have saltpeter in your hand."
"Your hands are too dirty, go and wash your hands." Mother Rong pushed Rong Yao, seeing her leaning forward and backward with a smile, helpless.
Rong Yu was a little shy at first, but when Ying Xun and Rong Yao came back, their faces were flushed.
"Are you ready?" Rong Yu asked awkwardly.
"Okay, okay," Rong's mother put the towel back in the basin, "I'll get you clothes, Xiao Xun, go to Grandma Li's house to borrow some talcum powder, her family has a two-year-old baby, and she has some .”
"Daddy." Rong Yao, who washed his hands, squeezed Rong Yu's face, smiling happily.
"Yeah!" Ying Xun smiled and took a good look at the person before turning around and going out.
His face and head were hot again, and he ground his teeth in anger.
Ying Xun came back soon. Rong Yu was already dressed and lying on the wooden bed, only 30 centimeters high. The wind from the small forest behind him was blowing gently, and his body was very dry.
As long as the body powder is not sweating, it will bring a cool feeling when you put it on your body, it is very comfortable, and it also has a faint fragrance, which Rong Yu likes to smell.
After Ying Xun poured the talcum powder on Rongyu, he went to get some big bags to make ice and put them in the room and closed the door. When he came out, he didn't know what to say to Rong's parents, so he pushed his bicycle and left.
Rong Yu was lying on the wooden bed, shaking his head, staring outside for a long time before asking Rong Yao who was sitting next to him doing his summer homework: "Where is he going?"
"Who?" Rong Yao asked blankly as he was thinking about the topic.
"Ying Xun." Rong Yu muttered.
"Go to town." Rong Yao replied casually, and then buried himself in his homework.
Rong Yu wanted to ask him what he was doing in the town, but he felt it was inappropriate, but he knew it a little bit, and finally got angry with himself, lying on the pillow with a puffy face, like a frog.
Ying Xun is not here for dinner today, so I eat winter melon stew, which is very rich.
Because he was injured, he ate a few extra pieces of meat for nothing.
After dinner, the family enjoyed the shade in the yard, and Rong Yao happily went to make frozen mung bean candies. The mung bean candy is cooked in the afternoon, just poke the ice in the plastic pot in the room and pour it into the mung bean candy.
In the hot summer, the cold mung bean candy makes the whole person alive.
After Rong Yao finished his bowl, he went to poke another bowl. Seeing that the ice in the plastic pot was about to bottom out, Rong Yu struggled a few times, and said, "Do you want to save some?"
"Huh?" Rong Yao turned around, blinking in doubt.
"Ying Xun, haven't you eaten yet?" Rong Yu's voice became lower and lower, Rong Yao was happy, and smiled slyly: "Oh, I still want to eat a bowl, what should I do?"
"Then you eat!" Rong Yu's face was hot, and he muttered in his heart, whoever asked him to go out during the meal, he deserved not to eat.
Seeing Rongyao's angry look, Rong Yao burst out laughing, lying on the bed and unable to straighten up.
"Don't make trouble with brother," Rong's mother couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "There's still a pot of ice!"
Rong Yu blushed and glared at Rong Yao.
Ying Xun didn't come back until almost ten o'clock in the evening. There was still a plastic bag dangling from the front of the car.
"Oh, the person who was cared for is back." Rong Yao sat on the ground with his back leaning against the side of the wooden bed, and said with a smile when he saw Ying Xun.
"What?" Ying Xun pushed the car into the lobby room and came out with his things.
"Hee hee." Rong Yao giggled and didn't reply.
"Go, get a bowl for Xiao Xun, it's very hot and tiring to come back!" Mother Rong stood up and wet a towel and handed it to Ying Xun.
"It's okay," Ying Xun wiped his face and asked strangely, "Who are you worried about?"
"When eating mung bean ice, Xiao Yu wanted to keep it for you!" Mother Ying smiled and told the story earlier.
Ying Xun also smiled, feeling warm in his heart, and sat on the floor beside the wooden bed, took out the contents of the bag and put them on the bed, a box of talcum powder, and a handful of white rabbit toffee.
On the white sugar paper, there are simple rabbits drawn with blue lines, very cute.
In the dark night with only moonlight, the bright starlight floats in the dark and clear eyes, which makes people's hearts move.
"For me?" Rong Yu asked uncertainly.
"Well, it's for you." Ying Xun replied with a smile.
"Thank you!" Rong Yu pulled the big white rabbits scattered on the bed to the pillow, grabbed a few more and stretched out his hand: "Mom."
"Oh, I borrowed Xiao Yu's light." Rong's mother stood up and took one, and put the rest back: "Mom doesn't like sweets, so Xiao Yu kept them."
Father Rong sat across from each other, watching the interaction between the two eagerly rubbing his hands, trying to get closer, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped, he was so anxious that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet down.
"Father." Rong Yu grabbed a few more and stretched out his hand.
"Hey!" Father Rong stood up quickly, a little staggering, but fortunately, mother Rong who came back helped him up, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
Father Rong stepped over with both feet, and only took one: "Dad doesn't like candy, one is fine, one is fine, hee hee."
Father Rong scratched his head, unwrapped the candy wrapper, ate it, and nodded, "It's delicious, it's delicious."
After a few steps, I went back to the original stool and sat down, picked up the cattail fan to fan the wind, it looked like nothing, but secretly wiped away my tears.
Ying Xun withdrew his gaze, lay down on the bed, propped his chin to look at Ying Xun: "What about me?"
Rong Yu paused, picked up one, and pushed it along the bedboard in front of Ying Xun, while the others were silently folded into his arms.
Ying Xun smiled, you little bastard.
"What, what? Don't share the food while I'm gone!" Rong Yao ran out with a bowl in his hand, and stuffed the mung bean candy to Ying Xun: "Add ice yourself."
"Candy." Rong Yu raised his hand, tapped it a few times, took out three, and handed them to Rong Yao, who took them without hesitation, and sighed: "Big white rabbit, it's so expensive, three for ten cents, I can buy two buns."
"Xiao Xun, you have never bought me a single candy when you are so old, you are still small and have face."
Rong Yao stuffed a big white rabbit into his mouth, it was milky and milky, with a little bit of peanuts, it was delicious.
The next day the two elders of the Ying family didn't come again, and I don't know how Ying Xun persuaded them last night, but it's a good thing not to come, everyone present knows how to tolerate and resist them.
"When you're hungry, go to the lobby room for dinner. At noon, I'll ask Rong Yao to come back and take a look. If there's anything to do, just yell. Uncle Huang's family didn't go to the field today, so I can hear you." Rong's mother was talking, they were going to go to the field to weed the grass today. Picking mulberry leaves looks much better, but you can't take people into the fields.
"Well, I got it." Rong Yu was quite comfortable lying on his stomach today, the room was so cold, Rong Yao came over in the morning and didn't even want to leave.
"Then I'm leaving, remember to eat!" Rong's mother patted Rong Yu's back, got up and left.
After a while, Ying Xun came again.
Looking around, he didn't see the big white rabbit, so he sat down on the bed and said, "You can't sleep with sugar in your mouth, it will cause tooth decay."
"I haven't." Rong Yu denied.
"Oh, who woke up early this morning and found candy in his mouth?" Ying Xun raised his brows. He obviously took water to rinse his mouth last night, but who would have thought that he secretly stuffed one.
"I don't know." Rong Yu buried his head in the pillow and stopped talking.
Ying Xun sighed softly, sat by the bed and talked about the things he should pay attention to at home, and then left.
After a while, Rong Yao came again.
Rong Yu: How disturbing is he
Although Rong Yu complained like this, but after everyone left, he was lonely.
I don't know if it was those decades of being alone that made him particularly afraid of not being able to hear the sound.
Rong Yu wanted to sleep by himself, but it was still morning, he just woke up not long ago, he couldn't fall asleep at all, so he just got up, leaned on the wall and walked out slowly.
After applying the medicine overnight, walking today will not cause dull pain when I move like yesterday. As long as the movements are light, the slight pain is still tolerable.
Rong Yu opened the door, the cicadas chirping outside were much clearer, and the chickens crowed from time to time.
It's the end of June in the lunar calendar, the hottest time of the year. Rong Yu is sweating all over after standing for a while, and he doesn't want to go back to his room. It will make him feel that he is the only one left in the world.
Just like the decades in my previous life, that feeling was terrifying.
Rong Yu was thinking about whether to feed the chickens, and lingered into the chicken coop, only to find that the chickens were gone, and then remembered that the chickens would be put in the woods to have fun during the day. Speaking of which, he has never seen a pig at home!
Thinking of this, he wanted to take a look at the pigsty again, halfway there, a strong smell came over him, Rong Yu turned around, and walked back silently, forget it.
He would also pass the pigsty when going to the bathroom, but he always ran while pinching his nose. This time he didn't pinch his nose, and it was in the middle again, and the impact was too great.
Back in the room, Rong Yu was already sweating, and when he was thinking about what else to do, he heard the rustling of the small hall room, and he seemed to be able to feed silkworms.
But thinking of the writhing white and fat body, Rong Yu felt that he should go back to sleep!
