After playing with the toys with my brother-in-law for a while, I heard the sound of cars parking outside, and I knew it was Haizi who had returned.
"Brother, sister-in-law," I heard Haizi shouting outside before anyone arrived.
The servant quickly ran out of the kitchen, "Haizi, what are you doing?" ”
"Oh, sister-in-law, sold a la carte food back, the mix is also there." I arranged beer bottles under the kitchen. ”
"What do you want to arrange, sister-in-law, I want to go to the kitchen myself." Hey, I want to experience a wood-fired stove stir-fry. The beer bottle smiled awkwardly.
Looking at the beer bottle, he smiled and carried the things he bought back to the kitchen. In that way, I felt my spirits shake up. This boy, did he still study stir-frying?
After we talked for a while, I saw my aunt come out laughing, "You guys said he came to show his hand." ”
"Auntie, then you sit."
"No, Ah Fei, Fang Fang, you come with me next door to toast the incense candle."
I stood up with the, and I went and took an unopened bottle of wine and went into the next door.
At this time, the aunt had already lit a few incense candles and inserted them on the edge of a black and white photo frame, with an indescribable pain, "Dead ghost, you have brought her boyfriend to see you." ”
I quickly stood up with the girl, and I looked up at the man in the picture frame. The man in the photo is dressed in an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, his hair is also very neatly groomed, his face is smiling, and his eyes are shining like he is in his early forties. Instead of the black silk hanging from the picture, I would have thought that such a man would not have died young.
Is this different from my impression? How could such a man be a gambler and an alcoholic, and finally develop into selling his daughter?
"Come on, you incense." My aunt handed me and the maid three freshly lit incense sticks.
I prostrated my head respectfully three times with the maid, and my aunt helped us to stand up. I took the bottle and poured a glass of wine in front of the frame, "Father-in-law, I'll come and see you're coming." ”
My aunt looked at me and poured the wine and said to us:
"Ah Fei, you and Fang Fang stand in front of the picture frame for the dead ghost to see, and when the two of you have burned these six incense sticks, you will leave the room again, and after taking three steps, don't look back."
"Mom, what are you doing?" I didn't speak. At this time, the voice of the servant was not right, obviously with fear.
"Fangfang, don't talk. This is for your future well-being. The aunt said with tears in her eyes.
After listening to my aunt, I felt that the atmosphere in the room was depressed a lot, the room felt a little more than a gust of wind, and the back was sweating. The girl also held my hand tightly, cold and cold. This big noon, what is Auntie going to do? How many people outside are chatting, can I still run out of my father-in-law's coffin board?
I sneaked a glance at my aunt, who had been staring at the photo, and the movement in her hand had not stopped, holding a piece of money paper and throwing it into the brazier in front of her, as if to keep the fire alive.
The girl used the force of the hand we were holding, and I looked at her, meaning what was the matter? She shook her head and gave me an innocent look. I watched as the incense burned and estimated it would take a few more minutes. I was afraid she would get tired from standing for a day, so I let her lean on me gently.
"Are you two now seeing if there's a change in the photo?" The aunt asked suddenly.
"Nothing." The servant replied directly.
It's strange that there are changes. I also looked up at the picture frame, normal. No, I feel a sudden tightness in my head, haunted? I suddenly realized that the smile at the corner of my father-in-law's mouth was gone, and the angle of the eyes seemed to be different from before, it was the kind that was about to bulge out. And that eye is also slowly changing to feel water vapor. I wiped my eyes, afraid I had misread it myself, and looked at it again, as if it were back to normal.
Auntie kept watching us, "Ah Fei, how are you?" ”
"I first felt that the photo was a little different, and I wiped my eyes as if it were normal again." I answered truthfully.
"Didn't you see a red glow in the photo?" The aunt asked nervously.
"Nothing." I'm sure about that.
"That's fine, you and Fang Fang will just not spend the night in this old house in the future, remember." Now it's time to go out and never look back. ”
"Well," I took the handmaiden's hand and hurried out with her. A moment after we came out, My Aunt closed the door as well.
Oops, inexplicably.
"What's your mother doing?" superstition? I quipped as I watched my aunt smile and say hello to us and go to the kitchen.
"I don't know." The girl took my hand and smiled, "I just made me nervous." ”
Watching Haizi and duck Li teasing the brother-in-law, I was in a good mood. With my brothers like this, I don't think I'll be alone in the road ahead.
"Ah Fei, you and Fang Fang go to the kitchen to help serve dishes." Auntie washed a little fruit at this time and came in. "Your brother said it was time to eat."
"Auntie worked hard. Haizi, let's clean up the table. Duck Li was a little excited to see that there was a meal, "You don't know, the beer bottle craftsmanship is really good, it is rare to eat once." ”
I patted Duck Lee on the shoulder and smiled and said, "So we're blessed?" Ha ha. Go,, go to the kitchen. ”
When we approached the kitchen of the servant's house, we found a large mud stove with two stir-fry pots on it, and the stove burned with split branches, burning creaking. Beer bottles are carefully putting condiments in two pots.
"Beer bottle, look at the posture of this two years and still learn a hand?" I went in and pointed to two woks.
"Well, brother, sister-in-law, why are you coming in?" Want to steal a trade? The beer bottle looked at us and smiled, "You put those few fried dishes on the top, and these two dishes are almost the same." I'll get two more greens and I'll be able to cook. ”
I looked closer, and those dishes really made people feel full of color and flavor.
"Beer bottle, your craft is really good." The servant looked at the dish and praised it.
"Hey, sister-in-law, I like your exaggeration. I tell you, this... The beer bottle was just about to continue with two sentences, and when he saw that we had served a few dishes, he came out, and before he could close his mouth, his tone was the same as that of a complaining woman, "Alas, alas, sister-in-law, you are waiting for me to finish." ”
"Cluck, don't let you get caught," the girl laughed after me.
When I came out, I saw that my aunt and Haizi and the two big men had already cleaned up the table. There are also alcoholic beverages and the like on it. Even my brother-in-law was so happy that he helped hand over some small cutlery on the side, and hummed a child's song in his mouth.
"You didn't say in advance that you would have to eat the dishes you brought back at noon." Auntie said sorry to us.
"It's all right, auntie, we're not outsiders. We don't have a normal relationship with my brother and sister-in-law. Haizi said hurriedly.
"Yeah, auntie, I'm also a local. In the future, my aunt can tell me anything. Duck Lee also smiled and answered.
"All right, thank you. As long as you have a good relationship with your brother and Fangfang in the future. ”
Just during the gap between our conversations, the beer bottle came in with two dishes, "Haizi, Duck Li, you go to the kitchen to bring those few dishes up to eat." ”
At dinner, I also hinted to Duck Lee to tell his aunt about the things he had done in the morning. When she gave the IOU to her aunt, her eyes were red again when she trembled, and the girl reminded her that she was eating, and then her mood relaxed.
Duck Lee looked at me again halfway and organized the following language:
"Auntie, I have already found someone to deal with the divorce procedures of my sister-in-law, just two days." The mayor has a problem and has reported it to the county. My brother and sister-in-law have already discussed taking you and Xiaodouzi to the county town to live, and the house is also in contact. This mayor has to deal with, in the future you live in the county town will be a lot less trouble, of course, there will be no trouble, this I promised my brother and sister-in-law. Auntie, you can rest assured. ”
"Well, Duck Lee, brother toast you." When I finished, I stood up and said, "Come, this glass of wine, only for us to be brothers." ”
"I'll come too." The girl hurriedly took a small glass of beer and stood next to me, and gave me a blank look, "Ah Fei, you don't want to stop me, I'm happy today." ”
Hey, this. Well, brother agreed.
"Well, brother, sister-in-law, I drank first." Duck Lee touched the two cups with us, lifted his head and took a sip.
Watching the girl sit down next to me after drinking, I took a sip of the wine, smiled and scolded the duck Li, "Duck Li, the amount of wine is OK." ”
"Also average, huh. It is not comparable to the brother's estimate. I heard the beer bottle talk about your reading, and I knew that I would follow him there to study. He shook his hand.
"Haizi, let's go one too." Duck Lee drank with Haizi again.
Watching the two of them drink a little bit there, the girl couldn't hold back, "Ah Fei, pour me a little bit of white wine for me to taste." ”
I poured a throw for the girl, "Beer bottle, do you want to pour some to taste?" You're good at it. I laughed and quipped about the beer bottle.
"No, no, auntie, little beanie, I'll accompany me to drink." He hurriedly postponed it, and found a reason, and it was good to be clever at this time.
"It's so astringent." The servant took his tongue and tasted it, and poured the rest of the wine into the cup, "I drink too." ”
"Silly girl," I touched her hair.
"Mom, you eat vegetables," the girl said, giving her mother and brother a piece of fish meat. Finally, I put a piece of ribs in my bowl, and she smiled a little, she knew that I liked meat, huh.
"Auntie, it will get better and better in the future." I watched my aunt watching us drinking and playing, with a smile on her face, but with a little regret, I knew that I was probably thinking of my father-in-law.
"Yes, Mom. Later, I will take my brother to the county seat, and we will come back to see you when we are fine. The servant had a follow-up.
"Well, okay, Mommy's happy for you."
I know that this meal, for the mother and daughter of the bridesmaids, is still missing a very important man in their lives, their husband and father.
"Ah Fei, fangfang will be handed over to you in the future, and I am also relieved and bless you." Auntie looked at me and Fang Fang.
"Thank you Auntie." I replied hastily.
"Mom, let's eat first."
"Good, good, good."
The meal was eaten for more than an hour. The beer bottle saw that Haizi and Duck Lee were almost drunk there, and put the rest of the wine aside. The result almost attracted the punches and kicks of two people.
Just as we were finishing eating and cleaning up the tabletops, a woman of the same grade as her mother came to the house. A few of us young people casually greeted her, and when she saw that it was the maid who came back, she pulled the maid to chat with her mother, and when she saw the girl calling out to the mother very kindly, I didn't pay any more attention. I also saw that my aunt and this wang mother were happily chatting about something.
Watching Haizi a few with their brother-in-law playing soccer outside giggling. I walked over and the beer bottle said football was something he had in his car, and seeing that the little guy liked it, he said it was given to him.
After a while, the lady came out and took my hand and asked me to introduce myself to the mother of the king, who had been exaggerating with the mother of the mother and saying: Good, really good, blessed or something. I can only be embarrassed on the side. It seems that the relationship between the servant's family and this neighbor is relatively good, and they may usually walk around each other a lot, and they are close to each other.
When she finally left, she gave her some snacks, cooked food and other things in the gift. She refused to accept anything at first, but only accepted a small part at the insistence of her mother.
Auntie, the, the duck Lee said to the beer bottle that dinner was settled in the small restaurant in town. They have booked private rooms. The dishes in the evening were ordered, and the friendship of the landlord was exhausted. I want to tell you. "I watched Mama Wang leave and quickly told my mother that I would save her from having to worry about dinner again later."
"Well, you young people arrange, and I and Fang fang will listen to you." Auntie was refreshed at this time, and she didn't know what Wang Mama had said to her, and her state of mind was completely broadened. It seems that this wang mother is good, and I will let the girl thank you well in the future.
"Mom, I'll take Ah Fei out for a spin." The girl took my arm and said something to her mother.
"Go, go, come back early." The aunt immediately agreed.
I said hello to a couple of guys playing soccer, and the guy took me out. On the way to the street, the girl took my hand and sipped her mouth, "How do you feel that my mother likes you so much?" ”
"Because you like me." Brothers should also be good, brothers, men, women and children killed. I looked at the girl and laughed.
"You've got to be caught." The girl looked at me, a little embarrassed, "Ah Fei, do you believe in love at first sight?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Giggling, because this girl had a crush on you half a year ago, I did it on purpose when I first asked you to borrow a book."
"Isn't it, it's been a long time, and then you are ready to plot against your brother?" I was a bit dumbfounded.
No wonder I ran to me at both ends for three days, and every time I came back to open the door, I could see her come out to say hello to me. I took her hand and took her in my arms.
"What are you doing, taking advantage of me again?" She hammered me. "I'll see it." But it didn't let go of me.
"Hey, you should have told my brother directly at that time, and my brother would definitely give him a promise, hehe." I looked at her shy look and quipped at her again.
"Well, that night you gave the slave family a promise." She let go of my embrace and pulled me toward the front.
"Here comes this set again?" I despised her for following her down the street.
"Hey, a lot of things on this street have changed, the little shop that took my brother to buy popsicles is gone, and the grandfather's stall that sells steamed buns has built a house." The girl was muttering all the way. "The old shop that bought seed fertilizer has always been open."
"Because you've grown up too," I looked at her and smiled.
"I just want to take you to a place I used to know." The girl looked at me seriously.
"Okay, brother follow." I stroked her little red face.
"Ah Fei, this shop is still there, the food is delicious, let's take a little back."
"Ah Fei, you look at that, I liked it the most when I was a child, but unfortunately I was reluctant at that time." Now I can only give it to my brother, I hope he likes it. ”
"Ah Fei, are you tired?"
"Ah Fei, the uncle who sells sugar chips can't be found either."
"Ah Fei, do you know ?。。。。?"
"Ah Fei ,。。。"
。。。。。。
Many years later, these words of the bitch's head are still wrapped around my ears. I also stood alone in front of the little bungalow of the maid many times, staying for half a day. I also walked through this remote town repeatedly, walked through every place where the servant took my hand and muttered, every small street, to find the shadow of my girl, to feel the breath that the girl had once retained. I hope the girl will be able to call me again, "Ah Fei, you know what? ”
