On the day when Yue Zhongyao came back, he ignored Mrs. Wu who was outside and called the door and went back after having dinner with his daughter.
Wan'er has passed her fourth birthday and has already learned to eat by herself. However, every time Yue Zhongyao comes back, he likes to hold a bowl and let her father feed her.
Naturally, Yue Zhongyao wanted it. Father and daughter loved to eat together every time.
Naturally, Qiao Mingjin would not skip a meal from him.
But because her cousin-in-law He was there, she naturally ate with her cousin-in-law He, and specifically avoided it with Yue Zhongyao.
Yue Zhongyao naturally saw the changes in Qiao Mingjin's dinner table. There were meat, vegetables, soup, and white rice, and there was plenty of oil and water. He even saw the changes in his daughter, but he didn't say much.
ask……
Yue Zhongyao stayed at Qiao's house until very late, eating with his daughter, looking at her vegetable patch, picking eggs with you, driving the chickens into the nest, bathing his daughter, and coaxing her to sleep before he got up and went back.
Before leaving, he handed a big bundle to Qiao Mingjin.
"It's winter. I brought back some furs given by others and made fur coats for you two."
Yue Zhongyao's eyes flinched and he stretched out his hand, trembling a little, fearing that his wife would reject him.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to say a few more soft words, he saw Qiao Mingjin reaching out and taking the bundle.
Yue Zhongyao felt happy and had a smile on his face.
Just when I was about to take advantage of the situation to say a few more words, I heard my wife say quietly: "It's night, let's go back."
Just as Yue Zhongyao was thrown into Yunxiao's heart, he suddenly stopped as if he had been hit by frost.
I opened my mouth several times but couldn't squeeze out a single word.
"Then, then...then I'm going back." He walked towards the entrance of the courtyard with heavy steps.
Qiao Mingjin followed, and when his legs crossed the threshold, he closed the door and inserted the bolt from the inside.
Yue Zhongyao just watched his wife close the door little by little, and watched his wife's bright face disappear inside the door little by little.
The night was dark, Yue Zhongyao was completely covered in the night, and his heart was as cold as the weather in early winter. It was freezing and uncomfortable.
My two feet were as if they were filled with aluminum and I couldn't move them at all.
He just stared blankly at the closed door, letting the cold air of the early winter night envelope him little by little...
He watched Qiao Mingjin close the courtyard door and walk towards the room. The sight of that thin figure made people feel sad.
"Leaving?"
"Well, let's go."
The two fell silent.
He looked at the bundle in Qiao Mingjin's hand and asked, "Did you give something else?"
Qiao Mingjin spread the baggage: "Well, someone else gave me some furs to make winter clothes for Wan'er."
"oh."
He opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but then he closed his mouth tightly.
What to say? She didn't know what to say.
He took a breath of the cool air in the early winter night, exhaled it for a long time, and said: "It's night, get some rest early. I have to go to the workshop tomorrow morning."
"Okay. Cousin-in-law also goes to bed early."
Qiao Mingjin watched Mr. He enter the room and closed the door. Then she habitually looked around the courtyard before turning around and entering the room.
Wan'er was already fast asleep in the room, with a slight smile on her face.
Qiao Mingjin looked at her daughter's face blankly and sighed.
With the faint light, he unpacked the baggage sent by Yue Zhongyao.
There are five pieces of fur in total, pure white rabbit fur.
It is not an ordinary domestic white rabbit skin, but a long-haired rabbit from foreign countries, pure white, without a trace of color.
Although it is not as good as the pieces of fox fur that Zhou Yanqing gave a few days ago, although these pieces are rabbit fur, such long-haired rabbits are still relatively rare at present. This fur is naturally relatively precious.
He was just a small catcher in the county government, and it was rare to find such a few long-haired rabbit skins.
Qiao Mingjin sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her daughter blankly. After a while, she took the sewing basket and started playing with the pieces of fur.
No more sleepiness...
And Yue Zhongyao faced the tightly closed door at the door of Qiao's house, and stood dumbly for a long time. He listened to the conversations of the people in the room, and heard the sound of the door closing, and then returned to calm...
…
He stood there blankly.
For a long time, until I felt that my body was wet and cold from the night dew, I turned around and left with heavy steps.
In the night, I could only hear a few long, low sighs...
Yue Zhongyao pushed open the courtyard door of his house, and the old courtyard door "squeaked... creaked..." twice.
When he turned around and closed the door, he saw his mother Wu wearing a thick coat, staring at his empty hands, standing in the middle of the door and yelling at him: "You still know how to come back?
Why don't you just sleep over there? Do you still think this is your home? When you come back, you don't even enter the house with your baggage, you just run over there, and you try to send all the good things over there! It's my wife's fault.
Living with me, I have never seen you show such filial piety to me..."
Yue Zhongyao was feeling uncomfortable at first, but how could he feel good after being yelled at by Mrs. Wu?
He didn't respond, and just walked over to his room.
Wu watched blankly as he opened the door, walked in, and closed the door again in a blink of an eye.
Reflecting on this, he began to curse bitterly: "The wings are too hard! The wings are too hard! No one or two of you take me seriously anymore! I pissed you off over and over again, and you don't care about me anymore."
You’re all pretending to be shit! Yue Laosan, come out, I’m talking to you!”
The old man in law was upset when he heard it in the room, so he touched something in front of the bed and threw it at the door of the room.
"Bang"!
In the cold night sky, the sound was clear and loud.
Wu was startled and her whole body jumped up.
When he came to his senses, he yelled into the room again: "Are you seeking death? Why are you trying to hit me?"
"You're not letting anyone sleep anymore!"
"I won't let you sleep anymore, what? Keep smashing it!"
…
Yue Zhongyao lay straight on the bed without lighting a lamp, and nothing could be seen on the top of the tent in the night.
Yue Zhongyao stretched out a hand and touched the inside of the bed unconsciously, then touched again...
I kicked off my shoes without taking off my clothes. I turned over inside, grabbed the pillow on the inside, held it in my arms, and fell asleep...
When I woke up the next day, I felt light-headed and light-headed.
Yue Zhongyao managed to push himself up and was stunned when he saw the well-folded quilt still placed at the end of the bed.
I don’t know how I slept last night.
It's already winter. No wonder I feel top-heavy when I wake up early in the morning.
Yue Zhongyao closed his eyes and found that he was no longer sleepy. He propped himself up, picked up his shoes and went outside to fetch water and wash himself.
"Third brother, are you up?"
Yue Xiaoman smiled at her third brother. After seeing her third brother nod towards him, he turned around and entered Yue Zhongyao's room.
Yue Zhongyao's room has been tidied by Yue Xiaoman since Qiao Mingjin left.
Yue Xiaoman walked into the room and was about to help her third brother tidy up the quilt, but she found that the quilt was neatly folded at the end of the bed, just as she had taken it out yesterday.
Third brother didn't come back to sleep yesterday?
It's impossible. She heard the third brother's mother scolding him a few times when he came back yesterday. And when she saw the third brother acting like that just now, he had just woken up.
Could it be that Brother Lu didn’t cover himself with a quilt last night?
Yue Xiaoman shuddered just thinking about it and hurriedly ran out the door.
Seeing Yue Zhongyao scooping up cold water with a gourd to wash himself, he hurriedly said: "Oh, third brother, it's cold this morning! Hot water is boiled on the big stove in the kitchen!"
"fine."
Yue Zhongyao wiped two handfuls on his face. The water left in the courtyard overnight made him shiver, but it also made his face less burning.
Yue Xiaoman looked at his feet and hurriedly looked at his face, and immediately noticed something strange about her third brother.
"Third brother, are you feeling unwell? Didn't you cover yourself with a quilt last night? Are you cold?"
"fine."
Yue Zhongyao responded in a low voice.
He turned around and entered the room again, closed the door, quickly took off his clothes that were wrinkled from sleep, changed into another one, brushed his hair twice, grabbed his clothes and walked out of the room.
"Fifth sister, help third brother wash it when you have time." She said and handed the clothes she had changed to Yue Xiaoman.
Yue Xiaoman responded and took the clothes he had changed out of, and stared at his face again.
Her third brother must have caught a cold last night. There was some abnormal flushing on his face.
"Third brother, where are you going? Do you want to lie down on the bed for a while? I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup?"
Yue Zhongyao didn't respond either. He waved his hand, opened the courtyard door and walked out.
Wu heard the sound and ran out of the room: "Lao San, where are you going this early in the morning? Just go there!"
Even after yelling twice, he didn't call him back. He only saw the back of his third son walking further and further away.
"They are all white-eyed wolves! They are white-eyed wolves who have no regard for my mother!"
He cursed endlessly in the courtyard...
When Yue Zhongyao arrived at Qiao Mingjin's house, Qiao Mingjin hadn't gotten up yet. Yue Zhongyao pushed the door, but the courtyard door didn't open.
The workshop doesn't start working that early, and even if it does, Qiao Mingjin doesn't go there that early. Every day, she waits for her daughter to wake up and has breakfast with her before going there.
Yue Zhongyao didn't open the door or call the door. He just sat on the bluestone threshold.
The bluestone that had been frozen all night made him almost jump.
However, he felt a little tired after walking all the way today. He wanted to find a place to sit, but he didn't get up even though he felt cold...
After having breakfast, Mr. He said hello to Qiao Mingjin and wanted to go to the workshop first.
When the door was opened, a figure fell in.
It startled her so hard that she almost screamed.
"Cousin..." Yue Zhongyao called to He in a daze.
He somehow fell asleep leaning against the door panel.
He quickly stabilized his body and stood up slightly.
Seeing his appearance, Mr. He didn't know how long he had been waiting outside. Why did he look so tired?
He couldn't help but sigh a few times in his heart.
"Why didn't you call the door when you came? It's quite cold this morning."
Yue Zhongyao smiled sarcastically at Mr. He.
When He saw him like that, he couldn't help but sigh a few times in his heart.
"I went to the workshop, and Jin Niang got up and was in the kitchen."
"Thank you, cousin."
Yue Zhongyao gave in, and He went to the workshop. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is my biggest motivation.)
