"Hey, you poisoned my grandson and beat my son, what a crime, drive all these country people away, drive them back, they are the ones who harmed people."
"Who poisoned your grandson? If you want to blackmail us without evidence, I will sue you and send you to jail."
"What are you talking about? You're the one who killed a thousand dollars, so you're going to go to jail and lose money."
"You are the ones who want to pay me. You hurt my brother, kicked over my stall, and smashed my bicycle. You have to pay."
"How dare you fucking scold my mother?"
"Do you dare to point at my sister again?"
In the dilapidated police station, false cries and angry roars intertwined.
"Bang!" In the dilapidated police station, the policeman sitting inside slapped the table, stood up, and said loudly, "Okay, stop shouting!"
"One person, no, you two, stand on one side," the policeman came out, waved his hand, separated the two people, and sat back in the back of the office: "Let's talk about the situation first, just..."
When the aunt heard the policeman's voice, she started howling: "He is the one who poisoned my grandson."
"Let me finish," the policeman had to raise his voice again, "If there is a problem, it must be resolved. It is not whoever yells loudly, who is justified."
Then he pointed to the middle-aged man: "You, help your mother to sit down, I don't say you can talk, so don't speak up!"
The policeman had a dull pain in his forehead, and his eyes swept over the two families. On one side was a 1.8-meter-old man with his mother, and on the other side were three children who looked like they came from the countryside. Uh, although the other one is white and clean, it’s true. Not so country-like.
"Tell me your name first, Xiao Sun, write it down." The policeman called out, and a young policeman ran out, took a pen and paper and sat down at the table: "Officer Li, tell me."
Officer Li opened a notebook and said, "First of all, you, Wang Tiezhu, you, Chen Cuihua, are from Taopo Town, right?"
When the aunt heard this, she raised her chin and said mockingly, "Yes, we are from the town, unlike those from the countryside, we have no heart."
Officer Li frowned, didn't say anything, and looked at the other three children: "Report the name of the village, the name of the person, the age, and what you do."
"Linshui Village, Ying Xun, fourteen years old, student, doing summer job."
"Linshui Village, Rongyao, fourteen years old, a high school student, working as a summer job."
"Linshui Village, Rong Yu, fourteen years old, student, working in summer vacation."
Officer Li was surprised when he heard this: "You are not a family."
"no"
"yes."
Two voices sounded at the same time, it was Rong and Ying Xun.
Officer Li knocked on the table: "Is it a family?"
"I grew up in Linshui Village with Rong's parents, but now my registered permanent residence is in Beijing." Ying Xun replied openly, feeling a little sad when Rong Yu said that he and he were not in the same family.
"Hehe, I also said that I am an American!" the aunt said again.
"Aunt Chen, wait for me to finish," Police Officer Li looked helplessly at Ying Xun again, a little surprised, why did he feel that the kid next to him was more like from Beijing, but it didn't matter, he coughed lightly, and continued to ask: " Wang Tiezhu and Aunt Chen said that the mung bean candy you sold was poisonous, and his grandson got sick from eating it, and he is now hospitalized in the town clinic, isn’t it?”
Rong Yao glanced at the two people on the opposite side, and said, "I haven't seen these two people today!"
Ying Xun and Rong Yu also shook their heads.
"Of course you haven't seen us. If we were here, would you let you sell poisonous things? My grandson bought it himself. It costs eight cents a bag. It's expensive. Yes, they cheated money." The aunt pointed out The three cursed.
As soon as Aunt Chen's words came out, the three of them knew that it was not their fault.
"We've been selling it for a dime, but we haven't sold it for eight cents. You can go to the station and ask," Ying Xunfu, thinking of Rong Yu being beaten up because of those bastards, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "There are two stalls across the street today, and they sell eight cents."
"That's right, hit people without knowing it, you, you, pay me money." Rong Yao was so angry that he wanted to beat them up, but at the police station, it was obviously impossible, and the only way to make people feel distressed was to lose money.
"You, if you say it's not, then it's not. You must have raised the price again." Although Aunt Chen was aggressive, she felt guilty and couldn't speak easily.
"Xiao Sun, go to the station now to see if he is still there, and bring him back when he is there." Officer Li said, Officer Xiao Sun responded, put down his pen immediately, and ran out.
When the aunt saw it, she became a little nervous: "Well, how come, it's obviously them."
Rong Yao was furious: "I will sue you for defamation."
"I'm back," when the two parties were angry again, a female police officer walked in with a small bag of things in her hand, "I bought the medicine, let's wipe it first!"
The aunt quickly grabbed her son: "Hurry up, wipe my son quickly, his face is swollen, you pay for it..."
Rong Yao immediately interrupted her words, "You lose money, we never sold mung bean candy to your grandson, you beat my brother, kicked the bicycle, smashed the stall, and lost money."
"You, you, you..." The aunt clutched her chest, pretending to be about to faint, she almost rolled her eyes.
Rong Yao ignored her and dragged Rong Yu to take the medicine.
The place where Rong Yu was hurt the most was his elbow. After wiping off a piece of skin, it was bloodshot and shocking. Rong Yao's eyes were red, Ying Xun gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and cast his devouring gaze on the middle-aged man, causing him to take two steps back in fright.
"Ying Xun." Rong Yu pulled him, calling him back to his senses: "I'm fine, I'll be fine in two days."
Ying Xun didn't reply, he reached out and rubbed his head, helping Rong Yao with the medicine.
The disinfectant in the 1990s was not as good as it was later, and when rubbed on the wound, it would bubble and make people cry in pain. Rong Yu used to think that after the three months in his previous life, there was nothing he couldn't bear, but his eyes were still red with pain.
"Does it hurt? Just bear with it." Ying Xun leaned down, blowing gently on the wound, and said softly, "It will be fine soon, and the infection will not be inflamed after disinfection."
"En!" Rong Yu sniffed, and responded in a low voice.
The abrasion on the elbow was three fingers wide and one palm long. After disinfection, rubbed red lotion, the pain disappeared a lot. The soles of the feet were also slightly scratched, and they were also disinfected and applied with lotion. Safflower oil was applied to the stomach, the places on the side of the waist that were blackened by bicycles, and the buttocks that were hit by stones.
For this reason, he borrowed a room from Police Officer Li, and when he came out, he smelled like medicine.
Police officer Xiaosun quickly came back with his men. As soon as the two peddlers entered, Wang Tiezhu and Aunt Chen rushed over, and applied what they did to them, crying and making noise.
Regardless of the size of the case, there must be parties involved, and Wang Tiezhu and Aunt Chen are at most the family members of the parties involved. Police officer Xiaosun therefore went to the town clinic again, brought over the little boys who had finished hanging the salt water, and identified one of them.
The truth came out, and in the face of this situation, Aunt Chen was still stubborn: "Who knows they are not, who told them to sell mung bean syrup, and we didn't mean it."
"You can hit someone without intention, you will either go to jail or lose money." Rong Yao was furious: "You also smashed our business, lose money."
"You want to blackmail people!" The middle-aged man, like his mother, didn't think he was wrong, and said stubbornly.
But neither Ying Xun nor Rong Yao is easy to bully, they will either lose money or go to jail.
Public security detention is still a very unfamiliar word in this era, but it is very clear to the three of the Rong family that the two mother and son are fully charged. However, since Ying Xun also hit someone, after discussion, including the loss of the stall, the other party paid ten yuan, which is considered a settlement.
Ten yuan is not a small amount for this era. The two mothers and sons turned around and grabbed the two hawkers, and began to ask them for money, and the scene became noisy again.
There's nothing to do with Rong's third child, so Police Officer Li sent him out.
"In the future, if this happens, don't worry about the car, just run away." Officer Li saw that when Wang Dazhu kicked the car, the child's instinct was to go to the ambulance: "People are more important than cars."
"Well, thank you!" Rong Yu nodded, a little embarrassed, he was also a little confused at the time.
Police Officer Li smiled, and looked at Ying Xun again. He was only fourteen years old, but he was young and had a lot of vigor. Looking at Rong Yao, who was short in stature, he was also very strong. At that time when Ying Xun was beating someone, Aunt Chen wanted to help, but when Rong Yao made a move, she locked him up with a lock.
"Both of you siblings have practiced before? They are very professional!" Officer Li asked curiously.
"My dad is a veteran." Rong Yao bent his small arms, showing his tiny muscles, and said proudly, "I practiced with my dad."
"No wonder, no wonder, well, go back quickly." Officer Li waved his hand, turned around and went back to the police station.
My head hurts again.
Erba's bicycle is still strong, and it was kicked, but the chain fell off, and it was enough to unscrew the iron box and put it back on again. The three put their things back and got on their bicycles. When they passed the vegetable market, Rong Yao stopped and ran into the vegetable market to buy two catties of meat, and a fish ran out.
"Giving Xiaoyu Bubu."
"Um!"
Rong Yu stretched out his head in response, smiling.
Rong Yao sighed softly, she ran into the vegetable market just now, wanting the two of them to talk, but it seems that they didn't talk at all. That's right, Rong Yao found out when he was at the police station that Ying Xun was angry, and very angry.
On the way back, because Rong and his buttocks were hit by stones, even after rubbing the medicine, and adding sacks to the wooden boards tied to the beams, he would still gasp from time to time when he walked over the uneven road occasionally.
Rong Yu's inhalation was like a hammer hitting Ying Xun's heart, which was stuffy and painful.
Rong Yu was injured, and when he returned home, Rong's father and mother were shocked. After hearing the process, Rong's father was so angry that he wanted to kill him in the town, looking for a man named Wang Tiezhu to settle accounts, but Rong's mother stopped him.
"Mom, I want to take a bath." Although Rong Yu's hands and feet ached, his whole body was sweating and sticky, and his back was itchy. In the past few days, he always took a shower when he came back.
"Here, how do you wash it!" Rong's mother looked at the face and the wound on her body, "This wash, the medicine has been washed away."
"Wash it off and then wipe it off." Rong Yu raised his hand, scratched his itchy chin, accidentally raised his injured hand, and breathed in pain.
"Look, look, how do you wash it like this?" Mother Rong was still worried.
"Why don't I help him wash it!" Father Rong suggested, knowing that Rong Yuai was clean, he couldn't bear to stop him seeing him in such a miserable state.
"No, no need," Rong Yu repeatedly refused, but seeing Rong's father and mother's expression of disapproval and not letting you wash by yourself, she pulled Ying Xun over: "Ying Xun will wash for me."
Rong Yu didn't think much about it, mainly because he felt that he could make Ying Xun turn his back when he entered the bathroom.
Ying Xun didn't expect that Rong Yu would pull him, and said, "Let me wash it for him!"
"Okay, go wash it up and come back, mom will steam the meat for you." Rong's mother was heartbroken and hurt, seeing Rong Yao bought the meat and went out with it.
Ying Xun helped Rong Yu out, Rong Yao was counting the money, Rong's father felt that he was the only one who had nothing to do, looked around and saw the sunken pot, his heart ached.
The pot is sunken like this, Xiaoyu hurts so much from being hit by a car, no, it seems that he has to go with him tomorrow.
Father Rong made up his mind, strode to the automatic car, unloaded the things, washed the sunken pot, beat the well with a hammer, and told Mother Rong about going with him tomorrow.
"No way," Rong's mother smiled, and said, "Xiaoyu will definitely not be able to go tomorrow, just let Yaoyao and Xiaoxun go. Don't you still have to look at the seedlings tomorrow? You also need to fetch water, and the rice planting will be done in a few days." .”
The Rong family didn't have much land, only one mu and two, and it took about two days to transplant rice seedlings, but this matter couldn't be delayed, because the reservoir was only filled with water for a few days, and if you missed the autumn rice, you couldn't plant it.
"That's right." Father Rong scratched his head and sighed softly. Ever since Xiao Yu came back, either this injury or that injury, Father Rong felt very uncomfortable.
Rong Yu was helped by Ying Xun to sit in the bathroom, through the small door, watching him running around to get clothes and water for himself, Rong Yu was in a complicated mood for a while.
For the first time, a thought came to my mind, why
Before Ronghe could figure it out, Ying Xun prepared everything, closed the bathroom door, turned around, and bumped into Ronghe's clear eyes, only then did Ying Xun feel a little embarrassed.
Rong Yu pointed at the door and said, "You, turn your back."
Ying Xun: "Let me take off your shirt first."
If you think about it, it's okay, the injury on his elbow is too big, and he can't lift it up at all.
Rong Yu is wearing Ying Xun's old clothes, a pullover T-shirt. This fabric is not pure cotton, but it feels a bit like cotton. It is made of other fibers, a bit elastic, a bit hard, and actually a bit hot to wear. But what Rong Yu is even more fortunate is that what Ying Xun bought was not the dark red striped or dark blue striped T-shirts that can be seen everywhere on the street, but pure dark blue ones, which are ugly but ugly and simple.
In the bathroom, the sound of drizzling water soon sounded, Rong Yu sat on the chair, barely finished the shower by himself, and then barely put on his pants, with Ying Xun helping him with his coat. First put the injured glove in, put on the head, and then put on the other hand. In the hot summer, this tossing made me sweat again.
Ying Xun opened the bathroom door and helped him out.
Although the sprain of Rong and his ankle was not serious, it was just injured, and walking was still a little painful. Ying Xun saw him sweating from walking, and then looked at the hot sun, gritted his teeth, bent down, and hugged him horizontally.
Rong Yu: "..."
After returning to the room to apply the medicine, Rong Yu felt the cool air-conditioning in the room, yawned and fell asleep quickly. He was woken up to eat at around 6 o'clock in the evening, and his stomach was gurgling with hunger. However, although the food for dinner today was good, Rong Yu didn't eat enough, because Ying Xun kept staring at him, seeing that he was almost done eating, he snatched the bowl over, and Rong Yu was so angry that he wanted to kick him a few times, but he didn't.
Rong Yu, who couldn't eat enough, took his anger to sleep at night. When Ying Xun went to bed, he found Rong and Zheng characters spread out on the bed.
"Where are you going to let me sleep?"
"Go sleep with silkworm baby."
"If you don't give up the space, I will bring silkworm baby to sleep with you."
Rong Yu was afraid of silkworms, Ying Xun guessed that he was never willing to step into the silkworm room. Thinking about it, I think it is a bit cute.
Rong Yu: "How dare you?"
Ying Xun raised his eyebrows: "You try."
Rong Yu thought for a while, and gave up half an arm's width.
When Ying Xun fell asleep, all he had to do was turn over, and it would be the ground.
But he wasn't in a hurry, sure enough, after Rong Yu fell asleep, the first thing he did was to turn inside out. Fortunately, Ying Xun's hand was about to stabilize him, otherwise his elbow would hit the bed and he would have to wake him up painfully.
Once you hold it in your hand, you won't want to put it down.
Ying Xun half propped himself up, looked carefully at the man's eyebrows and eyes through the oil lamp, stretched out his hand and touched them gently, his deep eyes were filled with strong emotions: "Don't get hurt again, I feel uncomfortable."
Today Rong Yao thought he was angry and didn't know how to protect himself, which made him hurt. Actually it wasn't, Ying Xun was angry with himself and failed to protect him.
It took Rongyu three days to heal from this injury, because of the injury, there was no place for him to do business, Rong's father and mother would go to the fields during the day except for picking mulberry leaves, so he was left alone at home. Fortunately, there was ice in the room, so it was not too uncomfortable for him to stay in the room. But there was no TV, no mobile phone, and it was annoying to stay alone, so Rong Yu started to limp, looking for work everywhere.
In the past three days, Rong Yu has learned how to mix chicken food, how to share food with chickens without getting pecked, how to cook pig food, and how to let go of his sight, automatically blur the creeping silkworms, and add mulberry leaves to the baby silkworms. . His feet are already healed, and the bruises on his stomach have begun to fade away. Except for the elbows that have not yet been scarred, he can't move too much, and he is alive and kicking.
At 5:30 this afternoon, everyone didn't come back. Rong Yu walked around the yard and picked up some dead wood in the woods. When he passed the glass honey tree, he saw a few green long-haired insects. Goosebumps arose immediately, and he never dared to stay in the woods again.
Not long after returning to the house, Rong Yu was bored again. Mom and Dad are going to fetch water, and they will plant rice tomorrow. Ying Xun and Rong Yao went to town and haven't come back yet. Because they have been doing business twice in the past few days, the whole family is very busy, and they feel that they are the only ones eating plain rice. After much deliberation, Rong Yu decided to help cook for tonight.
"Wash the rice, pour it into an aluminum sieve, add water to the pot, put it in and cook." Rong Yu recalled while moving.
Having never eaten pork, and even seen pigs running, Rong Yu is very confident about it.
Mom, Dad, and the others don't come back until almost seven o'clock. Although the sun sets late in summer, it's still dark at seven o'clock. The two parents met Ying Xun and Rong Yao at the intersection of the village, and they were surprised to see each other because they thought the other would come back sooner.
The four of them thought of Rong Yu at the same time, and for some reason, they always felt a little flustered.
"It's okay, it's okay. These days, judging by how powerful Xiaoyu is, he will feed chickens and pigs, and he is a big boy, what can happen at home?" Father Rong said it easily, but his pace couldn't help but quicken.
"Xiao Xun, you and your sister will go back on the bike first, hurry up." Mother Rong waved her hand, and when the two left on the bicycle, she said to Dad Rong: "It's just that Xiao Yu is too sensible, I'm afraid he will go to cook. .”
"We can't burn the house down!"
"I'm even more afraid that he will burn himself."
Mother Rong replied, Father Rong's pace was faster, and he almost caught up with him, but found that Mother Rong was left behind by him, and walked back.
Rong's mother was helpless: "You left as soon as you left, why did you come back?"
Father Rong scratched his head: "I'm not, how could I let you walk alone at night!"
"I've been walking for half my life, what are you afraid of." Although Mama Rong said so, she couldn't help smiling, and her pace quickened.
Father Rong took all the farm tools with him, and when the two of them hurried home, they first looked up at the top of the kitchen, there was no smoke, and they were about to breathe a sigh of relief when a burning smell wafted over, their hearts skipped a beat , almost rushed back with a run.
As soon as he entered the yard, he heard Rong Yao's voice: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good that no one was hurt, it scared me to death."
Rong Yao repeatedly patted his chest, and when she came back, she was terrified by the smell of frying, and Ying Xun even rushed into the yard on a bicycle like crazy, almost throwing her away.
"What's the matter, what's the matter? Where is the injury?" Rong's mother hurried over and grabbed Rong Yu's hand, and looked at him carefully through the dim moonlight, only to see that the face was smeared black, the clothes were in good condition, and there was nothing wrong with him. Burns, no holes in clothes, relieved.
"I'm not hurt, I'm sorry." Rong Yu's face turned pale with pain.
"It's okay, it's okay, are you cooking?" Mother Rong pulled her to the lobby room, looked around, and saw Ying Xun carrying a bucket of water, throwing the pile of firewood in the corner of the kitchen.
"Well, the meal is fine, I just want to stew the meat, and the stewed meat is gone, and it caught fire." Rong Yu pursed his lips tightly, inhaled secretly, and suppressed the choking.
"It's as long as he's fine," Rong's mother pulled Rong Yu under the light for a closer look, and she was relieved when she found out that she was fine. She got up to get a towel to wet, and when she came back, she wiped his face and coaxed him softly, "Tell mom about it." ,What's wrong?"
In fact, this matter is not complicated to say, Rong Yu first cooked the rice. Cooking rice is not difficult. Put it into the pot with a rice-aluminum sieve, add water to cover the rice, and then boil it until the rice core is a little opened. Lift it up and continue cooking for a while through the steaming rack, then turn off the fire, and cover it for a while. have eaten.
In the aspect of cooking, even though Rong Yu overcooked the rice, he barely passed the test.
The success of the meal made Rong Yu full of confidence. Seeing that everyone hadn't come back, Rong Yu stared at the piece of salted pork belly in the pot that was brought back at noon.
Since they went to sell ice drinks, they came back every day with a knife of meat for dinner. At noon, Rong Yu heard Rong's mother say that tonight they will eat bacon and stewed cabbage.
Rong Yu thought, isn't bacon stewed with cabbage cut into pieces and stewed together? So he started the first meat stew in his life, which showed that he overestimated himself. Not long after the meat was put into the pot, he found that the fire was too high and the pot was almost out of water. When he ran out to fetch water, the firewood fell out and ignited the dead leaves that had not been placed on the ground, and burned them directly into the pile of firewood in the corner.
The dry wood caught fire immediately, and the fire burst into flames, directly burning a big hole in the asphalt roof of the kitchen.
Rong Yu was not hurt, but he made a mess when fighting the fire, and the kitchen was half burned.
After finishing speaking, her face and eyes were red, her lips were pursed white, and she felt that she was very useless.
"Don't cry, as long as you're fine, mom will teach you how to stew meat tomorrow." Rong's mother reached out to touch Rong Yu's head, but saw her son with his head bowed, fell into her arms, sobbing softly.
In fact, Rong Yu didn't know what was wrong with him. He cried even when he did something wrong, which was so annoying, but he could hold it back, but when his mother said it, he couldn't.
This was the first time that Rong Yu got so close to him. Mother Rong patted Rong Yu's back lightly, her eyes were red, and she coaxed softly: "My family Rong Yu is very good. He can feed chickens and pigs, and even eat rice." If it’s boiled, the stewed meat will spoil, so let’s kill the chicken and eat it!”
Father Rong and Ying Xun saw Rong's mother holding Rong Yu outside, thinking that Rong Yu was hurt somewhere, so they hurried in and heard these words.
"Go, what are you doing here, go kill the chicken, it's so late, Xiaoyu and I are hungry." Rong's mother knew that Rongyu was thin-skinned, and hurried away.
Knowing that it's nothing to worry about, Ying Xun still wanted to see the situation. When he came back just now, there was still some sparks in the kitchen, he pulled Rong Rong outside to make sure there was nothing serious, then fetched water to extinguish the last sparks, and checked it carefully again, in this short time, there was no room for him to step in.
"Let's go, let's go." Seeing Ying Xun standing still, Rong's father pulled him away. He also wanted to develop a relationship with Xiao Yu, but his wife chased him away, so of course he had to pull Xiao Xun away.
Ying Xun was reluctant, so he went out with him, thinking that he would check on Rongrong at night.
