pastoral little wife

Chapter 118 Moved (1)
According to the normal situation, Nie Dalang would have come back long ago, but he hasn’t come back at this time, and he is only going to deliver the goods. There is no possibility that something will delay his return until tomorrow. Yun Duo stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked towards the village road, but Nothing happened.

Going back to the house again, looking at the jumping flames of the oil lamp, just sat down, couldn't help standing up again, touched the buns in the pot, and it wasn't very hot anymore, she added some firewood to the pot, and the pot burned again Open, Nie Dalang still did not come back.

Yun Duo looked at the dark sky and the not-so-bright moon outside, reached out for a kitchen knife, locked the door, and came out.

It was getting colder, and people in the village went to bed earlier. At this time, the whole village was silent, only the occasional two chirping of insects could be heard.

Yun Duo tugged at the jacket that Nie Dalang made for her, and walked through the village in the dark alone. When she reached the main road not far from the entrance of the village, she looked into the distance, but couldn't see anything.

Maybe, something happened to Nie Dalang, he just came back a bit late?Or maybe it was too late, and he planned to stay overnight and come back tomorrow?I think so, but in Yun Duo's heart, he always feels that something happened to Nie Dalang.Otherwise, how could you not come back?

The night wind blew coldly on his face, Yun Duo flinched and grabbed the kitchen knife tightly.

After standing there for a long time, Yun Duo felt that Nie Dalang might not come back tonight, but she didn't want to wait for her to go back.Thinking about waiting a little longer, maybe Nie Dalang will be back?

She squatted down, curled up together, grabbed the kitchen knife, and looked at the end of the road.

After squatting for a while, she felt that her feet were numb.Suddenly the ear moved and there was a sound.She hurried forward.

Nie Dalang drove the donkey cart quickly, looking at the moon in the middle of the sky, his heart became more anxious.He didn't come back so late, did the little girl worry about him?She stayed at home alone, wondering if she would be afraid?
Thinking of someone at home waiting for him and worrying about him, Nie Dalang felt hot and drove the donkey cart faster.

Yun Duo looked at the fast-moving donkey cart in the distance. Under the not too bright moonlight, she immediately saw that the driver was Nie Dalang, her eyes lit up, and she rushed up happily, "Nie Dalang! Nie Dalang!"

Nie Dalang was startled, seeing Yun Duo rushing towards him, his heart tightened instantly, he hastily tightened the reins, and stopped the donkey cart.

He thought he was dazzled, but Yun Duo ran straight over, his face was full of joy, "Nie Dalang, you are finally back!"

Something hit him hard in his heart, Nie Dalang's voice was two points more cold than usual, "Why did you come out?"

"I thought you don't cook fish, so you definitely won't stay overnight. I just went to deliver something, and I still have to come back tonight. The steamed buns I steamed were cold, so I came out to have a look. I didn't expect to see you come back It's gone!" Yun Duo happily explained, looking at Nie Dalang, "Why did you come back so late? Did you meet that fat man, and he bothered you?"

Nie Dalang looked at the kitchen knife in her hand, his eyes narrowed, he didn't answer her words, and grabbed her hand with one hand.There was a kang in the room, it was hot, but her little hands were cold, how long have you been waiting outside?In the middle of the night, when everyone else was asleep, she was a little girl, she was obviously scared, and she took a kitchen knife to courageously came out and waited for him.His heart felt like it was burning.

Seeing him take away his kitchen knife, Yun Duo said embarrassedly, "I thought it was getting dark, so I took the kitchen knife out."

Nie Dalang didn't speak, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.Holding the petite and frail little person in his arms, it seemed as if something was taking root and sprouting in Nie Dalang's heart, breaking through the ground.

Yun Duo was stunned, and wanted to push him away, but Nie Dalang hugged him even tighter, and she suddenly felt a little hot on her face.Nie Dalang...was he too moved?When he was at Nie's house, old man Nie and Mrs. Liu were scolding him, and Mrs. Zhang and Nie Dagui were buns. He must be very touched that she came to wait for Nie Dalang today.He was very moved when I brought him some snacks and came back to eat.Yun Duo decided to let Nie Dalang hold her for a while.

Feeling that she no longer resisted, Nie Dalang took a deep breath, tightened his long arms again, and held the person in his arms tightly.

"Nie Dalang! You won't cry, will you?" Yun Duo's voice suddenly came from his arms.

Nie Dalang's face froze, and he let go of his arms.

Yun Duo carefully looked at Nie Dalang's face, but unfortunately, despite the moonlight, he couldn't see whether Nie Dalang was crying or not.He seemed to have froze just now, and she probably hit the mark.In order to avoid embarrassment of Nie Dalang, Yun Duo changed the subject, "Today, I made a meat bun wrapped in a pot, which was mixed with tofu and radish. I fried the tofu and it was golden. It’s delicious when cooked. I’ve heated several of them in the pot for you! Let’s go home quickly!”

Nie Dalang was silent for a while, and nodded in response.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Duo thought that he hadn't held back his crying yet.Nie Dalang had already stretched out his hand, picked her up, and put her on the donkey cart.

Nie Dalang didn't speak, and Yun Duo sat obediently beside him, watching him drive the donkey cart to Fan's compound.

The gatekeeper of Fan's family was called up and picked up the donkey cart with a yawn.

Nie Dalang carried the bamboo basket on his back, and stretched out his hand towards Yun Duo, "I'm holding you."

Yun Duo blinked, "Nie Dalang, you are night-blind, right? You just can't see at night." Afraid that he might not understand night-blindness, he made a point of explaining it.

Nie Dalang didn't speak, and held her little hand directly.

Yun Duo felt embarrassed, "If you are night blind, you should have driven the donkey cart into the ditch." But Nie Dalang's hands were really cold.

The two held hands and walked all the way home.

The lights in the room were not turned off, and warm light shone through the windows, and Nie Dalang's eyes softened.

After opening the door, Yun Duo asked Nie Dalang to put down the bamboo basket, "Hurry up and wash your hands, the steamed stuffed buns are still hot in the pot."

Lifting the lid of the pot, there was no heat, and a few buns were already cold.

"I'll cook it." Nie Dalang rubbed her head, squatted down and lit the fire, heating up the pot.

Yun Duo washed his hands and grabbed the bun.

Nie Dalang saw that there was not much water left at the bottom of the pot. There were circles of white circles on the pot, which were marks of tea rust. After half of the pot was boiled, there were only two bowls left. He got up and cleaned the pot, added water, and boiled it again. Get angry.

The stuffing of the buns was big and the skin was thin, and the taste was well seasoned. Nie Dalang ate three of them in one sitting.

The water in the pot was hot, Yun Duo moved the wooden basin and scooped up the hot water. In order to prevent Nie Dalang from washing her feet again, she hurriedly took off her shoes and socks, and put a pair of white and tender little feet in the water.
