Jiang Zao: “…”
Jiang Zao: “???”
"What are you doing, you 1.9 meter tall man? Are you acting like a spoiled brat?"
Xiao Shuisheng covered Jiang Zao's mouth with a frown on his face: "Okay, shut up and go to sleep..."
"You heard wrong."
"I'm hallucinating."
Jiang Zao: “?”
Xiao Shuisheng: "I was talking in my sleep."
After being woken up, Xiangdi rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked drowsily, "Uncle, do you still know that you are talking in your sleep? You are better than Xiangdi. When Xiangdi falls asleep, he doesn't even know whether he is talking in his sleep or not, but you can still chat with Auntie."
Puff, the childish words seemed to hit Xiao Shuisheng's chest with a few knives.
Childish talk.
It hurts the most.
If Xiao Shuisheng couldn't bear to leave his wife, he would have gone to sleep next door with his quilt.
"Go to sleep quickly. Your aunt and I were just joking. If you don't go to sleep now, an old blind man will catch you and eat you at night."
"He'd grab your fingers, crunching the carrots, and say, 'Whose land is so fertile? The carrots grown there are so crispy.'"
She pulled the quilt higher to see it, and was so scared that she started crying: "Yes, it's Xiao Shuisheng's fingers that are fragile, not me. I don't want to see it, I don't want to see it."
His voice was as weak as a kitten's, so pitiful.
Jiang Zao was so exhausted from laughing that her lungs were about to explode. She nudged the big man behind her with her elbow and said, "Alright, that's enough, you're so childish. Pick up the image on the ground and put it on. You're an uncle after all, and you're scaring children and leaving them with a traumatic childhood. You're unforgivable."
Xiao Shuisheng closed his eyes and went to sleep in a good mood.
Jiang Zao hugged her and tried to coax her: "Your uncle is teasing you. He lied and you exposed him. He feels bad, so he bullied you. Tomorrow, auntie will hold you and beat him, okay?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, and her embrace was warm and fragrant. I wanted to snuggle in it and fall asleep again quickly.
But she was frightened awake in the middle of the night, crying and shaking her head: "No, don't eat my fingers, they are not tasty, eat my uncle's, or eat my mother's, my mother beats people every day, her fingers are all brittle."
Jiang Zao was startled awake, and half asleep, he comforted the child: "Don't be afraid if you want to see it, don't be afraid, it's all a dream."
Fortunately, the child slept more soundly in the second half of the night thanks to her coaxing.
The next morning, Jiang Zao was dressing the child and found that her eyes were swollen and she glared at someone sitting on the chair.
"Want to see what you dreamed about last night?"
He wanted to see her take a long breath and exhale, then he raised his hand to put on his short sleeves. "I dreamed that my uncle turned into an old witch and wanted to eat my fingers. I said...eat it, eat my mother's, it must be very crispy."
Xiao Shuisheng raised his eyebrows: "Why did I see you say in your dream that you wanted to eat your uncle's food?"
My eyes widened instantly when I wanted to see.
Is her uncle a devil?
How do you know everything?
"You really came into my dream."
Jiang Zao was speechless: "Shut up, go wash the pot, I'll make some vegetable porridge and boil a few eggs."
It's breakfast again.
Xiao Shuisheng went out. After a long time, he stopped thinking about that matter when he wanted to watch.
After dinner, Jiang Zao sent Xiangdi back to the old man's house and waited for Xiao Wensheng to come and pick her up. Then Xiao Shuisheng and Jiang Zao went to work.
When they arrived at the institute's office, Xiao Shuisheng asked Xiao Chen to investigate the relative's phone number.
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen came back and handed him the phone number: "Professor, what do you want?"
Xiao Chen also knew what Xiao Qiang had done. They all lived in this area, so what was there for him not to know? He was very curious about why the professor wanted to turn off the phone inside. Did she want to send her sister to the countryside?
Xiao Shuisheng didn't say anything. He made a phone call in front of him and the call was transferred several times before being transferred to the brigade.
The brigade was busy in the summer. After a rain, the crops in the fields had not grown a few inches when weeds suddenly grew up, leaving no place to step.
After waiting for a long time, the hoarse voice of an old man sounded from the other side.
"No... I don't dare to answer it. Will it suck my soul away?"
Many elderly people in the mountains and poor valleys have never used a telephone.
The captain motioned him to come over quickly: "It's okay, I won't let you down. Pick up the phone quickly. He said his surname is also Xiao. I remember you have a house and your relatives are very rich. Pick up the phone quickly, maybe they are sending you money."
After a while, the other party picked up the phone tremblingly: "I'm Xiao Laizi."
Xiao Shuisheng did not neglect him just because he had no money. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Third uncle, do you still remember me? I am Shuisheng."
Xiao Laizi's old eyes lit up: "I remember, I remember, you are the grandson of Yangshuo (Mr. Xiao's full name), the eldest brother. I forgot whether it was the eldest or the third brother. Your grandfather came home to visit the grave and invited me to drink. He said you were very capable, that you had studied for many years and were very good. You knew every word in the dictionary, right?"
While speaking, Xiao Laizi seemed to smell the aroma of wine and food from the meal, and his saliva spread in his mouth.
"What's the matter Shuisheng? Is your grandfather coming back to visit the grave again? Qingming Festival has passed!" He is old and his voice is loud.
Xiao Chen could hear him talking even though he was standing several meters away.
Xiao Shuisheng waited for him to finish, then said softly, "It's not about tomb sweeping. I've had some family matters lately. Are you free? Bring my Third Grandma, as well as your son and daughter-in-law, on this trip. I'll pay for the tickets."
Jiang Zao told him this in the morning, and Xiao Shuisheng repeated it word for word.
Xiao Laizi glanced at the team leader and said with some embarrassment: "Don't go, Shuisheng. The team is earning work points. We still owe the team grain last year."
They are warm and welcoming, but if the whole family goes there, what will they eat in the winter?
Besides, even if I want to go, will the captain agree?
Would the commune be willing?
Xiao Shuisheng continued, "It's worth coming here. I'll give you 200 yuan for this trip. It will be less than 200 yuan by the Autumnal Equinox. You will need food and clothing. If you are worried about the brigade and the commune, I will negotiate a solution for you."
"What? Two hundred!"
The person who spoke was not Xiao Laizi, but the team leader of their production team.
He snatched the phone and said, "Okay, okay, call the person over."
Xiao Laizi's family can't afford to do any work. He is fine, but his son is not a good guy. He is sneaky and cunning. When he works, his buttocks or waist hurts, and he can't do any work all year round.
Xiao Shuisheng hummed, "Captain, please buy them some tickets. I'll send the money to you later and issue a certificate of relationship for a few months."
The captain knew that the Xiao family had a wealthy relative who not only had money but also status, and he was no less capable than him in that regard. "Yes, don't worry, we'll send them to the train tomorrow."
There aren't really that many people traveling on this line, and it's not a holiday or anything.
Xiao Shuisheng: "Thank you very much."
