Chapter 224(1/2)
When I heard my mother say this, I looked at my father, reluctantly put on my bag, turned around and reluctantly left the ward, and reluctantly stepped onto the home that I once dreamed of.
In the afternoon, the bus stopped steadily at the door of the house as usual. I got out quickly, but what greeted me was a closed door. I dragged heavy steps and found a wooden stick in front of the old door. I pounded it from under the door. Then I heard a bang, and the stick on the door fell. I struggled to lift the door. My uncle walked out in a hurry.
"Who!"
I heard the master's voice say
"It's my uncle!"
At this time, my uncle took my bag
"I just said why someone didn't knock on the door and opened it directly. It turned out that it was your donkey begging the baby (a local catchphrase that elders talk to younger generations) back!"
I forced a smile
"Our door is usually closed, just pushing it from inside."
My uncle said with distress when he saw my haggard appearance
"Go away and walk inside the house, stand outside and it's cold!"
But when I opened the curtain and saw the cold kitchen, I missed my mother very much. Then my uncle handed a cigarette
"Uncle, the sun has not yet set yet, otherwise you will have to go home. It will be so many days since you can do it!"
My uncle took the cigarette and asked worriedly
"Your mom has been going up for more than ten days, and now is this?"
I was shocked after hearing it for more than ten days and thought it was wrong. It wasn't that I had just lived there for five or six days, so I asked with some confusion.
"I called that day. Didn't my dad still be at home and just went up to live there?"
My uncle sighed
"Your dad came back that day, and he spent all the money he received. He came back and borrowed money!"
I'm even more curious about this
"That means my dad has been in the hospital? That family said to take care of him!"
My uncle smiled
"Okay, my mum, your mother is so sick, how can your dad be away from you? We are so close, I called and I came over. By the way, are you back?"
In addition to my deep self-blame and gratitude to my uncle, I cried with excitement for a while.
"My brother-in-law lied to me and said that my dad wanted to buy a car, but I couldn't find my mom, so I came back!"
At this time, my uncle said a little angry
"Didn't you say I won't tell you? I'm in charge of the door and you have anything to worry about!"
I glanced at my uncle a little angry
"I'm so sick, how can I not tell me, I really don't know what you guys think?"
My uncle took a sip of cigarette and looked at me
"Hey, good boy, you're not easy to get your job! How is your mom's situation now?"
I lowered my head a little embarrassedly
"Hey, it's much better now! Basically, I'm in control!"
At this time, my uncle looked out the window and licked my lips
"Uncle, hurry up and get through, it will be cold later!"
My uncle asked some concern
"You can live alone in such a big yard? The kang has not burned yet, so I will talk about it when I finish burning the kang!"
Seeing my uncle get up, I quickly grabbed it
"Uncle, I am such a young man, what are you afraid of? Besides, with such a big yard, my mother lives alone all year round! You should wear warmer quickly, I can burn the kang!"
My uncle put on his coat and sighed with great concern. But when I saw my uncle go away, I saw my mother making me a chopping board for me and a stove for poached eggs. My mother looked like a movie. I used a quilt to pack my head, silently with tears in my eyes, and suddenly my uncle came back.
"Just, why did you go to bed without closing the door?"
Hearing my uncle's voice, I quickly wiped my eyes with the quilt
"Why are you back, uncle?"
My uncle said with distress when he looked at my red eyes crying
"I saw that you didn't close the door, and I thought you were asleep! I forgot to tell you that pigs are fed twice a day. Today I have already fed the sheep, only one meal at night, and you can pour some corn on chickens a day. Oh, by the way, there is also dog food to boil the water and then burn it!"
I rubbed my face
"It's okay, our door is usually open during the day, and there are people in our room that are fine!"
My uncle choked up when he saw me and couldn't speak well
"Then if you can't do it alone, I won't be able to go there. You haven't done anything about sleeping all night!"
I took a deep breath
"My uncle is fine. I am capable of it alone. I have helped my mother with these things. You can go over and wait until it's cold!"
My uncle looked at me with great concern. When I was sent to the gate, my uncle turned around.
"Just, don't worry! Now that the city hospital is living, don't worry! If you have any problems, your parents don't have a cell phone, just call me!"
I smiled unconvincedly
"Well, uncle, please slow down!"
My uncle put a coat on
"You go in quickly. Remember to close the door when you are sleeping, and I'll leave!"
I stood by the road and looked at my uncle's back, gradually moving away. When I was about to enter, I met my sister-in-law.
"Just, why are you back!"
I smiled
"The Empress (the honorable title of my aunt in my hometown) is hospitalized, I will come back to come to the door!"
My sister-in-law asked a little worried
"How is it now? When I left that day, I was very ill. Your elder brother just left after he left, and he almost died of anxiety!"
I lit a cigarette
"It's okay, my brother won't go out, what are the two kids going to school? Now it's much better and I'll be discharged from the hospital in a few days!"
My sister-in-law is a little embarrassed
"Then have you eaten?"
I smiled because at that moment I really didn't want to say a word.
"Sister-in-law, I've eaten! Then I'll go in first!"
Sister-in-law sighed
"Then you don't have to cook tomorrow, come to my house for a meal!"
When I heard that I was going to eat at my sister-in-law's house, I was nervous because my mother always used to be my temperament when she was at home, so she was very picky about her meals.
Except for the meals at home and restaurants, I basically don’t eat them. Most of my relatives come back hungry when they go to their homes, so I quickly said
"Sister-in-law, I won't go to dinner anymore. I don't know what time it will take for me to fall asleep!"
Sister-in-law looked at me helplessly
"Then you don't want to do it anymore. Come and I'll do it for you when I fall asleep!"
After seeing off my sister-in-law, I closed the door as soon as I entered and returned to the kitchen again. It was early in the third month of the Gregorian calendar, but it was late spring, and I stayed alone in an empty house without a stove, no cooking, and no relatives to accompany me. The empty yard was surprisingly cold except for loss, so I quickly took off my shoes and got into the quilt.
As a result, I went crazy as soon as I got on the kang. Maybe I didn’t like to sleep on the kang that was too hot. Maybe it wasn’t that time to burn the kang at night, and my uncle had not had time to burn the kang. The hand mold got a little warm and warm, but the more I slept, the colder I got.
In the end, it was so cold that I gritted my teeth, went down to hold some corn stalks, and burned the kang again, but burning the kang was a technical job. I squatted in front of the kang tube door (the place where the earth kang was put in the firewood), and couldn't hold the smokey tears, but it was not good to burn the kang with my waist bent down, but it was not good to burn it. In the end, I couldn't grab it anymore, so I casually pressed the kang tube door panel upwards and stopped burning it.
Looking at the smoky house caused by my burning kang, I was so choked that I couldn't stay there. So I thought that when it was not dark, I quickly fed the pigs at home! After feeding the sheep, I had tormented for less than half an hour, and I often breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, after running for a while, I was a little hungry. After thinking about it carefully, I quickly uncovered the lid of the pot, but found that there were only two or three volumes waiting for me, cold buns with cold light, and I couldn't get one and prepared to soak some buns and eat them.
But when I took out the bowl and blew the ashes that had fallen from the burning kang just now, and was about to break the steamed buns, I remembered the water in the thermos, and I burned all the dog food.
At this moment, I smiled bitterly and said to myself
"I just care about hot food for the dog, but I didn't expect that I could use it!"
There was no way I thought of it again, with spicy hot rice and steamed buns, but when I opened the spicy hot rice box, I saw that there was only a foundation left in it. At this time, I remembered that my mother didn’t like to eat stir-fry dishes, nor did she like to eat spicy rice.
At this time, I was completely furious by the reality of the ruthless unit. I thought tonight that I must eat this oil and spicy food, so I pretended to be like my mother, and put the chili noodles into the box of oil and spicy food, then poured a stir-frying spoon of oil, turned on the gas stove, and quietly watched the oil.
Suddenly I found that the stir-frying scoop started to smoke, but there were many small bubbles floating on it, so I couldn't tell it. Is it smoke or hot air? Finally, I remembered what Chef Liang said
"I can't see the dishes that have never been fried. The oil is red and not red. As long as it starts to smoke, you can pour it into it with confidence."
