The belated lunch started at almost three o'clock. Rong Yu had never eaten small shrimps, but it was the first time that small shrimps were too delicious. They were steamed very fresh with soy sauce, and they ate three bowls of porridge directly. Feeling sleepy, I turned around in the main room for a while before I digested my food, squinted my eyes and climbed onto the bed, just lay down, and took a deep breath in pain.
Ying Xun happened to walk in, holding a bottle of medicated oil in his hand, sat down by the bed, patted Rong Yu's waist: "Turn around, I'll wipe it for you, or you'll be green tomorrow."
Rong Yu blushed instantly, and stretched out his hand: "I'll wipe it myself."
Ying Xun raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you can reach it?"
"Can."
"You can't knead it, if you don't knead it, the medicine won't work."
"me… "
"Then ask Dad to wipe it for you."
"Forget it, you come!"
After Rong and the words fell, he turned over and buried his head in the pillow, the roots of his ears were red as if they were about to bleed.
The two pots of iced drinks that I went to sell today are only half filled, mainly because they are afraid that they will not be sold out, but judging from today's situation, it is not difficult to sell more, so after they discussed it, they will continue to increase the amount tomorrow, so Today I added a few more basins of ice, and the room was very cool.
Rongyu didn't sleep well last night, the temperature was right, Ying Xun rubbed him, and he fell asleep, snoring a little.
After Ying Xun finished rubbing, he realized that, looking at the sleeping man, he reached out to touch his face, but smelled a smell of medicine, so he retracted, covered him with a quilt, and left the room.
In the lobby room, Rong Yao had just finished taking a shower and was brushing his hair. When he saw Ying Xun come back, he told him that he could take a shower.
"No, I'm going to get some saltpeter." Ying Xun replied, the weather is too hot, and the saltpeter melts quickly after it turns into ice, so I have to keep adding saltpeter, and the three packs I got before are almost used up.
"Ah, let me go too!" Rong Yao put down the towel when he heard that he was going to get it.
"No, just three bags, I'll be back soon."
"Don't go far away, Xiao Xun and I can do it."
Father Rong came out of the room. Because they used a lot of ice, these children filled their rooms with ice basins, filled the available bottles, pots, and pans with cold white and put them on top of the salted ice to make ice cubes, which made the room so cool that he didn't even want to come out.
Fortunately, there is not much farm work these days. I go to pick mulberry leaves in the morning and come back to feed the silkworms. I have nothing to do and enjoy it for two days. Father Rong felt that if he continued to enjoy it, his bones would become blunt.
"Dad, didn't you just come back from the field, rest!" Rong Yao waved his hand and went to get the straw hat.
"Today, my mother and I just went to look at the fields and find out when the reservoir will release water for transplanting rice seedlings. We didn't do anything. Go back to your room and rest. Make braised pork for your father in the evening." Drooling: "I'm going to help Xiao Xun, hurry up!"
"It's done, Dad and Xiao Xun have worked hard," Rong Yao yawned: "Make something delicious tonight."
In the scorching weather, two big men dragged a tricycle to the next village, chatting about Ying Xun's silk business from time to time. Father Rong was still a little worried, after all, it was all the family's savings.
Ying Xun's eloquence is good, and with decades of business experience, it's not difficult to convince Father Rong.
The two chatted while walking, and talked about Ying's family affairs. Father Rong has always wondered why the Ying family was so cruel to Xiao Yu. On the day he came back, he was really dragged back. But he couldn't blame Ying's family, after all, it was his son who took advantage of him for more than ten years.
"The old man of the Ying family doesn't like Rong Rong." Ying Xun only knew about it in his previous life.
Ever since Ying's mother married into the Ying family, the old man of the Ying family didn't like her, not to mention embarrassing her, especially in the old house of Ying's family, he didn't feel well. Others naturally look at the dishes. Mother Ying will endure, but when Rongyu grows up a bit, she will not hide her thoughts at all. Every time the old man makes things difficult for Mother Ying, she will bravely stand up and fight.
Protecting his mother like a little tiger, and showing his teeth to the old man, he was hated by the old man because of this.
Mr. Ying has three sons, and there is no lack of tolerance for a grandson. After the son-changing happened, he couldn't wait to drive them away.
Ying's father is a filial son, Ying's mother is a good daughter-in-law, only sacrifices are allowed.
Whenever Ying Xun thinks of these things, his heart aches for Rong Yu.
Ying Xun didn't hide these things, he told them all. He grew up in this family, and he knew that his father would not blame Ying family for being bad.
Listening to Ying Xun's words, Father Rong wiped away his tears. It's not easy for rich people, but it's a good thing that Xiaoyu is back.
It took the two of them half an hour to walk to the saltpeter mountain, digging and poking, and made five big/sacks full. When they came back, everyone was cooking dinner.
The strong smell of meat wafted out, and Dad Rong and Ying Xun smelled it before they entered the yard. They pulled the tricycle inside and saw Rong Yu and Rong Yao picking mung beans and red beans. In fact, customers prefer mung bean ice, after all, to relieve the heat, only children like to eat red beans, but their family has limited mung beans, only two kinds are sold together.
"I'm back, go wash up quickly, and dinner will be ready later." Mama Rong raised her head when she heard the voice coming from the kitchen, and saw the two men with disheveled faces and white clothes, so she couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Yu, go get clothes for brother .”
Rong Yu: "..."
Ying Xun: "..."
"Mom, I'm older than him." Rong Yu said angrily.
"Obviously I was born sooner than you, and I'm called brother." Ying Xun smiled when he heard what Rong's mother said.
"That's not it." Rong Yu stood up and walked towards the room, like an angry frog.
Rong Yao chuckled, and ran back to the house to help Dad Rong get the clothes, because the two of them were really dirty.
The Rong family's dinner today is the second time since Rong Yu came here that it was so rich. The first time was the day he just came back, there was pork and chicken, this time it was pork and shrimp soup.
Everyone ate happily, but suddenly found that Ying Xun didn't touch the meat.
Mother Rong took a piece for him and said, "Why not? The three of you have made great contributions today, and Mom has already enjoyed your blessing."
Ying Xun said innocently: "Xiao Yu said that I am not allowed to eat meat tonight."
After swiping, three pairs of eyes looked at Rong Yu.
Rong Yu: "..."
"I think I worked so hard to sell iced drinks, and I brought something weighing two hundred kilograms, no, people back, but I didn't get any rewards." Ying Xun sighed softly, looking very melancholy.
"Pfft, Xiao Yu, what Xiao Xun means is, you pick me up quickly, if you don't pick me up, I won't eat." Rong Yao shook his head and laughed.
"If you don't eat, you don't eat." Rong Yu snorted softly.
However, seeing that Ying Xun didn't move his meat, Rong Yu finally couldn't help but give him a piece.
He got a chuckle from Ying Xun, and he was so angry that he almost put the bowl on Ying Xun's face.
Rong Yu was already full at noon, but Rong Yu still ate three bowls of rice at night, and he was overwhelmed again.
Ying Xun dragged people to eat in the yard, listening to the humming and hiccupping around him, feeling distressed and helpless.
The weather was fine today, although there was an ice basin in the room to cool the room, but we still spread wooden boards in the yard, lay down and looked at the stars, and listened to Dad Rong telling his story about being a soldier.
Father Rong had been in the army for more than ten years, and he had sent out countless missions and fought many battles. However, when the army was disarmed, he thought of Mother Rong who was alone at home, so he retired from the army.
Ying Xun and Rong Yao were not surprised when they heard it since they were young. On the contrary, it was the first time for Rong Yu to listen to it. The hail of bullets in Rong's father's memory made Rong and keep exclaiming a little, giving Rong's father a sense of accomplishment.
Listening to Rong Yu's exclamation, Father Rong became more and more enthusiastic, and the smile on his mouth never faded.
Xiao Xun and Yaoyao would exclaim like this when they were young, but as they grew older, they no longer had these reactions, which made him feel a lot disappointed. Xiao Yu's support made Father Rong seem to have regained the pride of being admired back then.
Snacks are absolutely indispensable when listening to a story, Rong Yu was fascinated by the listening, he reached into his trouser pocket and took out a big white rabbit, he was about to take it apart and put it in his mouth when Ying Xun grabbed his hand.
"Your stomach is still bulging and you're still eating. You probably won't be able to sleep tonight." Ying Xun said in a low voice helplessly.
"It's just a candy." Rong Yu refused to accept.
"Don't you drink water after eating the candy? Be good, be good, there are no digestive tablets at home, I will eat it tomorrow." Ying Xun said, wanting to take the big white rabbit in Rongyu's hand and wrap it back into the candy wrapper.
Of course Rong Yu didn't want to, so he started to grab him, but his strength was incomparable to that of Ying Xun who had been farming since he was a child and carried sacks from time to time.
The movement of the two startled Father Rong, who was looking at the stars while remembering, turned his head and saw Ying Xunzheng clasping Ronghe's wrists with one hand, and pressing Ronghe's forehead with the other hand to prevent his teeth from baring. Rong Yu rushed over, having fun for a while.
"Is it stopped like this? Xiao Yu's strength still needs to be practiced!" Father Rong said cheerfully.
"He's just a big bull." Rong Yu was so angry that he couldn't move his hands and head. He started to move his feet, retracted and kicked towards Ying Xun. He missed the first kick and was pinned down again. smoke.
"Hey, hey, this is just a wooden plank, you will both be miserable if it falls." Rong Yao watched the wooden plank slamming, and quickly reminded. She will point to the two of them to do business tomorrow. If they are all broken, she will make less money.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Xun let go of Xiao Yu." Mother Rong patted Ying Xun with a cattail fan, and rescued Rong Yu. As soon as Rong Yu was free, she kicked Ying Xun off the wooden bed.
Rong's mother exclaimed, seeing Ying Xun get up, smiled, and patted Rong Yu with the cattail fan again, and said, "Don't do this next time, what should I do if there is a stone hurting my brother?"
The wooden bed is not high from the ground, about 20 to 30 centimeters. Although it can't hurt people, it hurts to bite a stone.
With two hums and hums, it is considered a response.
Ying Xun got up and patted the mud off his body, and was about to go to bed, when a large character booth took up the entire bed board of about 1.3 meters. The meaning is obvious: don't come up.
"Little Xun Xun, go up, beat the bully Xiao Yuyu." Rong Yao shouted cheering from the side, and then shouted at Rong Yu: "Xiao Yuyu, hold your ground and let the invaders know what the fist of socialism is."
"Who are you helping?" Rong Ma was happy, and was about to sit back in the chair when a drop of cold water fell, then two, three...
"It's raining." Father Rong sat up and looked at the sky, the stars were indeed much darker.
"Pack up your things and go back to bed." Mother Rong urged.
Rong Yao was shocked, looked at the sky, stretched out his hand, a drop of water fell on the palm of his hand, he was dumbfounded for a moment, and wailed: "My money, my dime, this rain won't come until tomorrow!"
"Probably not!" Rong Yu also got up, and he was also very concerned about making money.
"Don't be dazed, pack your things quickly." Rong's mother had already moved the chair into the room.
Father Rong also hurriedly moved the bed boards to the small hall, the wood is easy to rot when exposed to water.
The family didn't finish moving in one round, there was a bang, and it rained cats and dogs.
Wet the clothes of several people before moving back to the room.
Although Rong Yu only had two sets of clothes, it was hot in summer, and the clothes would be dried as soon as they were washed, which kept him from running out of clothes. But after returning to the room, Rong Yu remembered that his clothes were still outside.
"What's wrong?" Ying Xun asked, seeing that he was not moving.
Rong Yu's clothes were not completely wet, but the wet part took up half of the clothes and was half attached to the body. The fabric at this time is very poor, it is the kind that can be torn with a little force, and it will be a little transparent when worn on the body.
Ying Xun slightly looked away.
"It's nothing." Rong Yu closed the wardrobe and walked to the bed.
Ying Xun's eyes darkened. He thought that after coming back for so long, he only saw Rong Yu wearing the two sets of clothes he left behind. The suitcase had never been opened. He would rather be wet than touch the contents of that suitcase.
"I still have two new sets of clothes, which I haven't worn. I'll bring them to you." Ying Xun knew that Rong and his heart had wounds, but he never knew that he was injured like this. He didn't even want to touch the things that Ying's family brought. .
"I don't want it." Rong Yu shook his head.
"My parents made the clothes for me to go to Beijing, not the Ying family's." Ying Xun replied.
"Then bring it!" Rong Yu said as a matter of course.
The conversation between the two of them in the room was transmitted outside through the lightly closed door. Rong Ma happened to come in with Rong Yu's wet clothes that had been drying outside. Yes, but did not expect to hear these words.
Mother Rong's eyes were red, she carefully hung the clothes in the small hall, turned around and left, closed the door of the small hall lightly, and told Dad Rong about it when she returned to the room.
When Father Rong heard this, he was silent for a long time before telling Mother Rong what Ying Xun told him today.
"It's all my fault, I didn't notice it at all." Rong's mother patted herself, tears streaming down her cheeks. She saw Rong Yu wearing Ying Xun's clothes before, and thought he didn't wear his old clothes and shoes because he had to do farm work. I thought of this reason: "When he came back for the second time, he was wearing Xiao Xun's old shoes, so why don't I worry about them!"
Rong's mother felt that she owed Rong Yu too much, so she didn't think about anything.
"We didn't expect the Ying family's relationship to be so complicated, so don't blame yourself." Father Rong comforted Mother Rong, but he also neglected Rong, thought for a while, and said, "There's no farm work tomorrow, so I'll pick the mulberry leaves in the morning. I'll borrow a bicycle and take you to town to buy him two suits."
Mother Rong felt better after hearing what Father Rong said, but she still couldn't control her tears.
Why is her childhood so miserable.
Rong Yu puts on Ying Xun's new clothes, no, it's his new clothes now, turn around twice, it's okay, although it's bigger, it's comfortable to wear.
Rong Yu climbed onto the bed and was about to hug the quilt to make him fall asleep when Ying Xun pushed him.
"What are you doing?"
"Apply medicine."
"Why do you still need to take medicine?"
Tolerance and dissatisfaction.
"Do you still want to go to town tomorrow?" Ying Xun raised his eyebrows.
"Go!" Rong Yu said in a muffled voice, turned over, turned over. After waking up after wiping off this afternoon, I didn’t feel much pain. This medicine is still useful, but it can’t be a loss if I can’t go tomorrow because my buttocks are blue.
Ying Xun smiled, kid, it's a matter of course.
It was rare that after applying the medicine and still not asleep, Ying Xun blew out the oil lamp and went to bed, the little boy turned over twice, and a river of Chu and Han was separated in the middle.
Ying Xun smiled helplessly and closed his eyes.
He has good physical strength, but he is also very tired after this day, and he is about to fall asleep in a daze, but the people around him still turn over from time to time. Is it because he sleeps too much at noon and can't fall asleep at night
Ying Xun yawned, turned around, and saw that the opposite was dark, and he could barely see the human form.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Ying Xun asked sleepily.
"Can't sleep." Rong Yu knew that he would get up early tomorrow, but he was still very awake and didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Then what should we do?" Ying Xun asked.
"You sleep yours, I can fall asleep later." Rong Yu muttered.
"But you keep turning the bed."
"I'm not a dead person, if I can't fall asleep, I will definitely turn over!"
"You turned over, I can't sleep?"
"Then what should we do? How about you lay the floor?"
Ying Xun was happy, thought for a while and said, "You can fall asleep when you are tired, why don't you go outside and run around?"
Rong Yunu: "It's raining outside! Why don't you run around outside?"
"It's not that I can't fall asleep." Ying Xun continued to yawn, almost unable to hold on, and said, "Don't turn over within thirty seconds, and I will fall asleep."
"real?"
"Um!"
"All right!"
Sure enough, Rong Yu didn't move, closed his eyes and counted silently in his heart, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he fell asleep.
Ying Xun heard the sound of gentle breathing, with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth, pulled the quilt to cover him, and fell asleep.
