This woman named Xiaoyun has extremely large elbow joints, as if she has two elbows growing together.
Lulu immediately covered her mouth and asked me in a low voice in disbelief: "Nuan Ting, is there anyone else with arms like this?"
I scratched my head: "I don't know, I've never seen it."
At the gate, Uncle Li pursed his lips, and after talking harshly to the corpse stitcher for a while, he put his arm around Xiaoyun's shoulders and went home.
This farce was so embarrassing that after dinner, the village chief asked everyone to go back.
And because of the hot weather, the bodies of Lulu’s parents could not be stored, so they were buried in the afternoon.
In the evening, my mother came out from the shower and counted the remaining dishes in the kitchen: "No one has eaten well because of Li Fu's troubles. There is so much left. I will send some from door to door later."
My dad squatted at the door of the kitchen, puffed out a cigarette, and puffed out a breath: "It's already past seven o'clock, and it's still the seventh month of the lunar calendar."
"What are you afraid of? Let me deliver it on a motorcycle. It will be delivered in a while. If you can't store it in the summer, it will be broken tomorrow."
The second uncle was washing his arms with freshly squeezed cold water. He listened to my mother and said with a smile that it was no problem.
Why.
This little life is so wonderful, but it’s a pity that Lulu and I will start school in half a month.
"Girl Yun, what are you thinking about?" My second uncle came over with the dishes my mother had divided and tapped my forehead.
I covered my head and shook my head: "It's nothing...Second uncle, I saw Lulu's father today."
My second uncle was stunned in front of me, and my mother and father raised their heads in unison.
My second uncle hurriedly asked me: "He didn't do anything, right?"
My second uncle must have thought that Lulu’s father was still crazy, and he was afraid that he would hurt me if he knew I could see ghosts.
I frowned and said, "No, Lulu's father is here to apologize to Lulu. He said that he knew he was wrong and was sorry for Lulu, and asked me to thank you on his behalf."
My mother and the others were silent for a long time.
I also fell silent. I didn't know what it felt like. I just felt sad and cold in my heart.
Lulu's family could obviously live happily, but because of a wrong decision, the family is now ruined.
But there is another point. Although my snake eyes are a great tonic for vaginal objects, I should be afraid, but when I sent a message to Lulu’s father and Lulu so that they could communicate and relieve their knots, I felt
, a little bit happy.
It is a sense of pride that my talents will be useful.
The second uncle probably didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he took the dishes and left on his motorcycle.
My mother and father also each carried a basket of vegetables and delivered them to the nearest place. The three of us always delivered them faster.
Lulu was tired from crying again and fell asleep. I sat under the eaves and watched the stars that had just emerged in the sky. There were only a few, but they were very bright.
The swallows in the bird's nest are particularly quiet today.
A flash of red suddenly appeared in my peripheral vision. I looked closely and saw a woman in a red dress standing outside the door of my house.
"Aunt Li!"
I trotted over.
As we got closer, we saw how beautiful Aunt Li was today. She is already in her thirties, but dressed like this, she looked like she was in her twenties.
Aunt Li's skirt has half sleeves, the scars on her arms have disappeared, and she has two braids, and her whole person has completely changed her mental outlook.
Especially the red dress that reaches her ankles is redder and brighter than blood, very bright.
Aunt Li looked at me in surprise: "Girl Yun, can you see me?"
"Ah?" I scratched my head, "I can see it. Why don't you come in, ma'am? Come in."
Aunt Li looked up at my house and asked me with some trepidation: "Can I go in?"
"of course!"
Don't you usually go directly to the hospital? After not seeing you for a few days, Aunt Li was a lot more polite.
I held Aunt Li's hand enthusiastically and suddenly shuddered: "Auntie, why are your hands so cold?"
Aunt Li held my hand back and walked with me into the yard: "I just finished washing my clothes. Girl Yun, is your mother not at home?"
"I'm going to deliver the food. I'll be back soon. Madam, please go inside first."
Aunt Li had obviously walked to the door of my house, but she said nothing and didn't go in. She even looked at me several times with fear.
It's really strange.
"No, Girl Yun, I'm here to thank you for the flower scroll. It's been so many days before I can come out to find you."
I had forgotten about it unless Aunt Li told me, but then I remembered that Aunt Li wanted to use me as a substitute.
My smile suddenly froze on my face.
Seeing me like this, Aunt Li knelt down apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, Girl Yun. You are a good child, but I once wanted to harm you. But I am very grateful to you now. Can you not be angry with me?"
?”
Aunt Li's face is very close to my eyes.
Her expression was sincere, her eyes were bright and beautiful, and my defensiveness gradually dissipated.
"Mom, I'm not angry."
Aunt Li finally smiled, and her smile became even more beautiful, like a flower.
Aunt Li's cold hands pinched my cheek and said to me: "Auntie has something to do and has to go. Girl Yun, can you also bring some food to Auntie tomorrow?"
"Of course you can. My mother said we would deliver them door to door."
Aunt Li shook her head and tapped my little nose: "You go and see me off, um... you ask your second uncle to go with you."
"Why?" Didn't my mother give it to me tonight? Did his family eat a lot?
Aunt Li didn't answer for me, but just told me repeatedly: "You must go with your second uncle, don't go by yourself, don't go by yourself, you know?"
I nodded in confusion and watched Aunt Li walk towards the front door of my house.
Her red shoes were looming at the bottom of her skirt, and she walked quietly. If I hadn't looked at her, I would have thought there was no one there.
But today, Aunt Li seems to be a different person. Even after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn’t remember who she became.
It wasn't until Aunt Li walked to the gate that I remembered that I had seen the old photos of Aunt Li before she got married last year. Aren't they exactly the same?
It’s just that the skirt and shoes in the photo are white.
Aunt Li stood outside the door, turned around and told me: "Girl Yun, half of July is not over yet, don't say hello to everyone you see, remember?"
"I understand, ma'am."
"Well, the aunt is gone. You should go into the house quickly."
"okay."
The next day, we were eating at the dining table in the courtyard, and I talked about last night, when Aunt Li asked me to deliver food to her.
My mother gave Lulu a piece of Bulingbuling braised pork: "I went to her house to deliver it yesterday. I didn't go into the house and gave it to your uncle at the door. Your aunt probably didn't know."
"No, Aunt Li asked me to go there again and asked my second uncle to go with me."
My dad and my second uncle were sitting together, sipping a glass of wine.
The second uncle put down his wine glass and said with a blushing face: "Then give me some. It's rare for Sister-in-law Li to reply, and she's not having a good time at home."
My dad nodded and said, "That's true."
After finishing the meal, my mother packed so many more dishes for me that I was so greedy that my mouth was almost watering. If my stomach had not been able to eat any more, I would have eaten a lot more secretly.
Second uncle lay on the kang and squinted for a while, got up to smoke a cigarette, and then invited me to go to Aunt Li's house.
