Chapter 19 Nightmare

Aunt Lu put a portion of rice in the pot and kept it warm over the water.

It was completely dark, and the third brother hadn't come back yet.

From the quarrel between the second sister and the eldest brother, she basically understood the whole story.Although she also thinks that He Xiaoxi is imitating the shortcomings of the third brother, which is not very authentic.But still more envious of her boldness.At that time, Second Sister Lu must have been stunned by her.It's a joy to think about.Unlike myself, who knew that Second Sister Lu was always messing around and making unreasonable sophistry.But he didn't know how to refute her, so he could only feel depressed.

Close the door of the pot house, ready to go to rest.Walking to the middle of the courtyard, she still couldn't bear the fact that Second Sister Lu had nothing to eat all night.After much hesitation, he returned to the pot house, opened the cupboard door, took out two steamed buns from the bun basket (a small basket made of crop stalks, with a cover), put them in his sleeves, and prepared to smuggle back to the room for Lu Ermei to eat.

The Nabe House door was opened from the outside at this time.Sister Lu subconsciously hid the cornbread in her sleeve.

A man walked in shortly.Big Sister Lu was relieved when she saw that it was Second Sister Lu.Second Sister Lu went straight to the place where the cornbread was placed, took out two cornbreads, gnawed on them, and sneered at Big Sister Lu: "You are only worthy of being a dog, so what do you think of the food? Don't I just eat it?"

Sister Lu took a deep breath.Throw the cornbread in your hand back into the steamed bun basket.Said to Lu Ermei: "Dog? You are really not worth a dog. I feed the dog a cornbread and it wags its tail at me instead. I feed you, but you bite me." After finishing speaking, he slammed the door and left .

what!It turns out that the taste of beating people is so pleasant.

He Xiaoxi didn't know that there was a person at this time, because of his enlightenment, he no longer tolerated the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

He Xiaoxi had a nightmare.

In the dream, Mrs. Chu was holding a baby and smiling at her.There is a gentle smile on the corner of the mouth, like a flower blooming in the wind.

Suddenly the bright red lips turned into an abrupt purple, and Mrs. Chu suddenly had difficulty breathing.He tried hard to hand over the swaddling clothes in his hands to her, but he couldn't.He Xiaoxi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and burst into tears. He tried to pick up the child but couldn't move.

The child fell into the water and became a great treasure.Dabao was thrashing and struggling in the water.

"Ah", He Xiaoxi woke up with a start.Touch the sweat on his forehead and the tears all over his face.It was still pitch black outside the window, and one or two chirps of night owls could be heard in the distance.

The door of the east wing room on the opposite side opened with a "squeak" and then closed again.He Xiaodong tapped on his sister's window: "Xiaoxi? Xiaoxi? What's the matter?" He Xiaoxi replied: "It's okay, brother, I had a nightmare."

He Xiaonan next door: "Making troubles all day long." This kind of person is giving her face when talking to her, and no one wants to talk to her.

He Xiaoxi urged her brother to go back to the house: "Brother, I'm fine, you go back to sleep." "Dreams are all fake, don't be afraid, turn the pillow over and sleep on it." The voice of the sister-in-law.She too was startled.It can be seen that He Xiaoxi's cry was not small.

There is a custom here, if you have a nightmare at night, turn the pillow over and the dream will be reversed.The eldest brother and sister-in-law did not dare to ask Xiaoxi what kind of dream he had.Because there is also a local custom that before the sun comes out, dreams cannot be told.Before the sun came out, I said the content of the dream, the good dream will come true, and the bad dream will come true.

The sister-in-law took off her shoes and sat on the inside of the bed, pulled the quilt for her daughter, and complained: "It's all your fault, why do you say you are so fierce? My sister is not a person who is not particular, it must be that little girl from the Lu family who is unreasonable." , I rushed there in a hurry. Let me scare you, and you will be frightened."

He Xiaodong was full of guilt, but still insisted: "How could I scare her?"You women are trouble. "It caused Liu Shi to kick him to vent his anger.

He Xiaoxi, who was awakened by the nightmare, found it difficult to fall asleep again.With the current medical conditions, she can't save Mrs. Chu.

Nightmares are fears that originate from the depths of the mind.Even though it all started again, He Xiaoxi was still panicked.I always worry that when I open my eyes one day, everything now is a dream.Since everyone can't escape the established fate, what's the point of asking her to do it all over again?He Xiaoxi was a little confused.

He didn't fall asleep again until almost dawn, and He Xiaoxi, who never sleeps in, rarely got up late.Fortunately, they don't need to cook today, and the work in the lake is done, so no one has much opinion on her getting up late.

It's just that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are a little worried, worried that she is sick.The sister-in-law went into the house and looked around before she relaxed and went to work.Discuss secretly with her husband and ask him to talk to his step-mother-in-law to see if he can add an egg to his sister-in-law's breakfast.My sister-in-law didn't eat any of the scoop of eggs sent by the Lu family.

When He Xiaoxi woke up, she heard Mrs. Liu crying to her elder brother hypocritically: "Lulu often eats eggs as a supplement, and your father also eats them. The eggs at home are tightly eaten by their grandson and grandson. Your brother and I I don’t even want to give it to him. I have to change the salt sooner or later, how can there be eggs at home? Besides, Xiaoxi is such a big girl, she can eat anything, why is she so greedy that she has to eat those expensive things? I know you love her, but you can't be so partial, I don't want you to feel sorry for Xiao Nan, she is not yours, so don't force it. Your brother is yours, why don't you know how to feel sorry for him? "

He Xiaoxi didn't care about the one or two eggs.She has endured hardships and enjoyed blessings. Although she has returned from the rich and noble township to the current difficult years, she herself feels that she is quite used to it.After all, she had lived such a life for many years.But it cannot be accused of being greedy for no reason.

Eldest brother is a big man who doesn't know the details of the firewood, rice, oil and salt in the pot house, so he was speechless by Mrs. Liu's words.It doesn't mean that He Xiaoxi doesn't know.After she saved Dabao, the Lu family sent a scoop of eggs as a thank you gift.Although she was ill at that time, she didn't know how many eggs the Lu family sent.But she had entanglements with the Lu family in her previous life, and she knew that the Lu family's ladles were all big ladles.Nowadays, there are no foreign eggs like those of later generations, and the current ones are all slightly smaller native eggs.The Lu family wanted to give a thank you gift, but they didn't have enough eggs, so they would go to their two uncles' house to collect some.According to the custom of giving gifts in this village, He Xiaoxi guessed that the Lu family sent thirty eggs.

From Lu Ermei's inexplicable hostility towards her, He Xiaoxi could also guess that the Lu family's gratitude would not be less than thirty.Because as the youngest child in the previous generation, besides the grandchildren of the Lu family, Second Sister Lu is one of the few who can occasionally eat eggs.Eggs at this time are the source of oil and salt money for rural people.The salt is replaced by eggs.Women's needles and brains, and children's snacks are all exchanged for eggs.Therefore, except for children who need eggs to supplement, adults can rarely eat them.

The chance for adults to eat eggs is also the frangipani that is buckled in a pot of salty soup during the busy farming time at home.

It is caused by material underdevelopment, and every household is like this.This situation did not gradually improve until after the 80s.

Because this time to send a thank you gift to the He family, not only the Lu family's own eggs were smashed into the basket (all of them were taken), but some were also borrowed.Borrowing should be paid back immediately.Lu Ermei's eggs were pinched off.

That's why Lu Ermei is so hostile, always trying to make things difficult for herself.

 Heiyu told himself: Don't care about the data until the number of words reaches hundreds of thousands of words, and before various recommendations are published.However, I still couldn't help but pay attention.Because I care too much.I always worry that it will be particularly ugly.Imagine if you really kneel, what will you do in the future?Do you want to go back to the old way?After thinking about it, tell yourself: Even if you kneel down, you will stick to the book.So, please feel free to support Heiyu.As long as you don't give up, Heiyu won't give up.Even if only one person followed him, Hei Yu would insist.
