Chapter 11: Change
Li Tiezhu went into the outer room with a blushing face. Although he was stupid, he was no longer a child. He was still hot-headed after being teased by Zhang Ping just now.

So after he came in, he wanted to go to the west room in a daze, but was stopped by the old man Zhang who heard the movement from the room, "It's Tie Zhu, Erchun moved to the east room."

Then Li Tiezhu turned back to the east room like a headless fly. When he came in, he found Erchun lying on the small north kang, so he strode over and stopped two steps away from the kang, "Erchun, what's the matter?" ?”

He was cautious in his voice, he was afraid that Erchun would be upset and scold him again. Was he afraid of being scolded by Erchun? Ever since he was a child, Erchun never scolded him when he saw Erchun, but he didn't want to provoke Erchun. hate oneself.

Erchun raised his head and glanced at him when he heard the voice, then turned his head back, and said in a strong nasal voice, "It's okay, I just caught a little cold, you can go home and eat, you have to go to work in the afternoon, don't delay you."

In the outer room was the sound of old man Zhang turning over things, presumably he was cooking.

Li Tiezhu in the room became anxious after hearing Erchun's words, scratching his head, "What's the delay, then...then I'll go home and ask my mother to make you some noodles."

"Stop." Erchun called him with heavy hair, sat up while supporting himself, looked sideways at Li Tiezhu who turned back, his almond eyes struggled to move away, "I'm just a little hairy, It’s not a serious illness, what’s wrong with asking your mother to make noodles for you? The village also knows what happened when you fell into the water in the morning. If you ask your mother to make noodles for me, why don’t you remind your mother to remember what I did in the morning? ?”

"Then...then I'll do it for you." This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, Li Tiezhu doesn't know what to do.

Although Erchun knew that he cared about him, he still had to get annoyed, "If you don't want your mother to hate me, then go back and do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about me, just rest for an afternoon. Just come and eat."

"Then I'll listen to you." After hesitating for a while, Li Tiezhu nodded naively. Seeing Erchun's listless appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Seeing that he wouldn't go away, Erchun stood there with his lips moving for a long time. He obviously had something to say but didn't dare to say it. eat human."

Li Tiezhu's face was hot, "No...it's okay, just...that's..."

"Speak well." Erchun was dizzy at first, but when he heard this stammering again, he felt his head was about to explode, so he couldn't help but interrupt him.

But being so strict, Li Tiezhu spoke smoothly, "Erchun, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

After leaving the words, the man turned his head and rushed out.

bull.

Erchun muttered something, but his heart was still sweetened by the sudden confession, and he lay back on the kang again, but he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

She didn't let her think about anything, so she fell asleep in a daze. During the period, she felt like her body was being roasted on a steamer. It was cold and hot, and she heard Li Yanhong speaking in a loud voice, but she couldn't remember what she said. , and then the voice of grandpa calling her to eat, she only remembered that she answered twice indiscriminately, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

When Erchun woke up, the house was quiet and her head was no longer heavy. She raised her head and wiped it, and found that her forehead was covered with sweat. She knew it was healed and didn't know what time it was. Looking out of the window of Xiaobei Kang, I can see that the sky outside is still bright through the window of the outer room, but I think I have to sleep too much, it is almost two or three o'clock in the afternoon .

Pulling off the quilt and going down to the ground, Erchun saw the tea mug on the edge of the kang, picked it up and drank a few sips of water, feeling that there was food in his stomach and gained some strength, and went down to the ground.

She had just walked a few steps when she heard movement in the outer room. The door of the east room was pulled open, and Li Yanhong walked in wearing long clothes and long trousers. He looked like he had just woken up, and the shoes on his feet Before it came, I put it all on in a hurry, and stepped on the heels like that, obviously coming here in a hurry.

"Are you awake? There is porridge in the pot. Your grandfather cooked it for you before he went to Hetao, and I'll serve it for you." Li Yanhong didn't think much of it, seeing that Erchun really woke up, he turned and went to the outhouse again.

Erchun worked for a whole morning, fell ill again, and was still hungry until now, so he really didn't have much strength, and he didn't show any courtesy to him, so he just sat on the south kang and waited, Li Yanhong came in with a big bowl of millet porridge , There are two eggs in the bowl in the other hand. Compared with his strong body, the two bowls in his hand make him look funny at this time.

"These two eggs were brought by the Li family boy." Li Yanhong put all the things on the kang, folded them into the outhouse and brought back the chopsticks, and handed them to Erchun, "I think the Li family boy is not bad. Sometimes I saw you fell asleep and didn't wake you up, so I put the eggs in the pot to warm you. Don't look at his stupid mouth, the couple can live by not only being able to talk, but also being down-to-earth. Good boy, if you are in the city, the more silent you are, the better you will be in the end."

Erchun buried his head in eating porridge, and after a few mouthfuls of porridge, he came back to life, raised his head and stabbed him, "What did Li Tiezhu do to you, asking you to speak for him like this? I'm marrying a man, not going to fight."

"Look, just say a few words to your girl's stubborn temper again, I, Mr. Li, am I afraid that you can't see clearly that this is a good young man?"

"Okay, okay, old Li, I can memorize your words. Are you used to being an elder before, and you like to reason with everyone you see? I'm not a three-year-old child, what? If you don’t understand, why don’t you teach me?” Erchun interrupted Li Yanhong’s words bluntly.

Li Yanhong choked when he was told, his eyes glared, "Okay, my old Li can't speak well of you, you eat yours, I think it will fall this day, your master dried some firewood, I'll go Give it back."

While waving his hands, he left the house.

Erchun really laughed, "I said, Old Li, although you are a rough talker, you have one good thing, that is, you can recognize your own mistakes."

After hearing this, Li Yanhong, who walked to the outer room, grinned and said, "That's right, our old Li is also an educated person, that's an intellectual."

There was a sound of 'dang', followed by Li Yanhong's voice, and the sound of closing the door.

Sitting on the Nankang in Erchun, through the window, you can see Li Yanhong, who is gathering firewood in the yard, looking down at the sky outside. The clouds are really thick. It seems that it will fall again in the next few days. Erchun Chun Ye hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of the porridge in the bowl to his mouth, and while taking off his kang shoes, he went outside.

It's already late autumn, except for the autumn vegetables distributed by the team and the ones grown in the vegetable garden at home, Erchun was lazy before, and did not dry autumn vegetables like other people's houses. The picked eggplants and beans were placed in the west side In the small warehouse in the village, there are only some red peppers left to dry outside.

When Erqiu came out, Li Yanhong came to look at him. While he was stooping to pack the firewood, he urged, "What are you doing here, don't blow it up, go in quickly, and just call me Lao Li if you need anything."

"No, I'll take the peppers to the house and put them on a string today. When the weather clears, hang them up to dry." Erchun went to the wooden fence and took down the dustpan hanging on it, then turned around and went into the vegetable garden to collect the peppers. .

The yard of the Zhang family is not big. The house is more than ten meters long from west to east, and the wooden fence of the vegetable garden opposite the house is only four meters. In the north is an adobe chicken rack, and several flower hens are eating around it.

Li Yanhong had already piled up all the firewood for drying. When he stood up and rested, he looked at Erchun, who was working in the vegetable garden, looking at everything in the yard, with a smile on his resolute face, as if In the past, he always thought that after the war, he would live a peaceful life like this, have a small family, work at sunrise and return at sunset.

It has been a few months since I came to this village, and it is the first time that I feel out of home.
