Wei Min went back home once a month and spent three days with A'ruan before going back. During the three days since she came back, A'ruan smiled more often than usual. Even if Wei Min looked at him for a second longer, he thought it was sweet.
During these three days, A Ruan cooked different kinds of dishes for Wei Min and stayed around her all day, so naturally she had no time to pick up needle and thread in front of her.
Several months passed by, and in the blink of an eye, spring clothes were replaced by summer clothes, and summer has arrived.
When A Ruan woke up in the morning, Wei Min had already left. He was in a daze and heard his wife leave but didn't wake up.
A Ruan sat up, got out of bed and bent down to put on his shoes, when he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and a soreness in his waist, and he almost fell headfirst to the ground.
He reacted very quickly and grabbed the bedpost immediately, thus avoiding falling headfirst to the ground. A Ruan patted his chest with some relief, exhaled slowly, and after the dizziness in front of his eyes subsided, he reached out and rubbed his waist twice.
The two of them stayed up too late last night. When A Ruan was a little tired, he heard his wife's seductive voice asking him, "Can we have it for the last time? Can we?" Immediately, the thought of "no" turned into "yes".
In the end, he satisfied his wife but made himself suffer.
But when he saw the rice porridge and eggs that Wei Min left for him in the pot, A Ruan felt sweet in his heart again. Thinking of his wife's tenderness last night, A Ruan's face turned red even when he ate an egg.
It's a bit hot today. The sun is not strong at noon, but it is particularly stuffy.
A Ruan was woken up by the heat not long after lying down after lunch. He was sweating all over and suddenly felt sticky all over. He felt dizzy and had a heavy head in his sleep.
Since she couldn't lie down any longer, A Ruan simply got up, filled a basin with cold water, added some hot water and wiped her body with it. After she felt better, she took out her needle and thread and started to embroider a handkerchief.
Recently, Li wanted a handkerchief with extremely fine embroidery, and said it was specially customized. Li asked A'ruan to embroider and gave him three times more money than usual after he finished.
Three times the money is indeed a lot, but it is also really tedious and troublesome to embroider. A'ruan had been embroidering for several days and was almost finished. He only didn't touch it during the past three days since Wei Min came back.
Perhaps it was because the room was too stuffy, or perhaps it was because it was particularly difficult to embroider at the last moment, but when Ah Ruan took out the handkerchief again today, she felt restless.
Finally, he simply picked up the bamboo basket, walked to the door, moved a stool and sat in a ventilated place in the yard to embroider.
The weather is hot, but the occasional breeze is cool.
A Ruan lowered her head to embroider the handkerchief, doing it very carefully. After she cut off the last thread with scissors, she realized that the weather had changed without her knowing.
The sky was filled with leaden clouds, and the wind blew the clothes drying in the yard, making them rustle.
A Ruan saw that it was likely to rain heavily, so he immediately put down the bamboo basket in his hand and went to collect the clothes in the yard.
He sat for a while and stood up suddenly. The dizziness and blacking out in the morning appeared again, but this time he was not so lucky to grab something. He fell to the ground with a "bang" and his forehead hit the stone on the ground with a crisp sound.
A Ruan groaned in pain, reached out and touched his forehead where he had been hit, and couldn't help but gasp and make a "hiss" sound. There was no bleeding, probably just a skin scrape.
The rumbling sound of thunder rolled back and forth overhead, and occasionally a flash of white light flashed, illuminating half the sky.
Raindrops as big as beans fell slowly, making Ah Ruan panic and climb up. He didn't even care about his forehead. He quickly put the clothes on the bamboo pole into his arms, and put them into the house together with the stool and bamboo basket.
The light in the room was as dim as outside. A'ruan was afraid of falling again so he walked with extra caution. Fortunately, he knew where the things that could trip him were, so he avoided falling again.
As soon as A Ruan entered the house, it started to rain heavily.
The rain seemed to have been held back for a long time and was finally released. It was extremely heavy, pouring down. Water was soon flowing down from the eaves, and a lot of water soon accumulated in the yard.
A Ruan went into the room, took out the medicine box, took a clean cotton ball, dipped it in the medicine and gently rubbed it on his forehead.
In just a short while, the place where his forehead was hit began to swell and turn red, and the skin was abraded and bleeding.
A Ruan applied medicine on his forehead in front of a small bronze mirror. It was burning painful where the medicine touched the broken skin. Ah Ruan shuddered from the excitement, his lips turned white in pain, and he applied the medicine with trembling hands.
When he was younger, he had many injuries like this, most of which were caused by Zhang. Whenever Zhang was in a bad mood or upset, she would come back and find fault with him and vent her anger on him.
Although Zhang Youyao was young, she learned from her father very well. Once, she accidentally pushed him down, and he hit the edge of the well.
His forehead was bleeding at that time, and the warm red liquid flowed down his eyelids to his cheeks and finally dripped onto his chest. He didn't feel any pain at that time, he just felt dizzy and didn't react for a long time. He only remembered seeing blood.
When Zhang Youyao saw that his face and body were covered in blood, he was so scared that he just cried. Zhang ran out of the house. She was shocked at first, but then she hugged Zhang Youyao in her arms to comfort him, and blamed him for being so careless.
Finally, the neighbors couldn't bear to see him anymore, so they took him into the house, washed off the blood with water and applied medicine on him.
Later, the wound formed a scar and healed slowly, leaving only a scar on the forehead.
A Ruan casually lifted up all the loose hair on her forehead. There was an obvious area of skin on the right side of her forehead at the hairline, which was a different color from other parts of her skin.
A Ruan lowered her eyes, loosened her hands, and the loose hair on her forehead fell down to cover the new and old scars.
It has been more than five months since I married Wei Min. These six months have been the most comfortable time in Aruan's life. Normally, if Wei Min bit him hard, he would gently purse his lips with pity. But today, when he fell to the ground, A Ruan felt inexplicably aggrieved and uncomfortable in his heart, and he stood there for a long time without getting up.
A Ruan put the medicine box away and came out to wash his hands. He stood at the door and looked into the yard for a while. The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the water in the yard was accumulating more and more. The rain water did not seem to flow out through the gutter in the yard, but instead accumulated in the yard.
The yard of the old house was fenced off later. The soil is higher than the main room. In order to prevent water from accumulating in the yard and entering the house, a high threshold was built at the door of the main room. In addition, there is a drainage ditch in the yard, so there is no need to worry about water accumulation.
It has rained countless times since spring, but this is the first time it has rained as heavily as today. The dark sky seemed to have a hole in it, and water was rushing down desperately.
Normally there is little rain, so when water falls into the yard it is absorbed by the soil. Now that it is raining heavily, the soil is not soaked as fast as the water can be stored, so we can see that there is water in the yard.
A Ruan saw that the water in the yard was accumulating more and more, and it would soon overflow the threshold and flow into the house, so he suddenly became anxious.
The main room was still piled with dry firewood that Wei Min and he had picked up yesterday. The tables, chairs, and benches in the room were not made of good wood. If they were soaked in water, not only would there be no firewood for cooking, but the furniture might also be rotten by the water.
A Ruan did not hesitate any more. He took off his cloth shoes and put on wooden clogs. He rolled up his trouser legs to his thighs, put on a straw raincoat, picked up the iron trousers, and went out.
In the face of heavy rain, the straw raincoat on my body seems to be of no use. The rain poured into A'ruan's clothes desperately, and soon his clothes were soaked inside and out.
A Ruan reached out to wipe the rain off his face, and used an iron hook to find the blockage along the gutter bit by bit. Finally the cause was found at the base of the wall.
There is a hole at the base of the wall, the size of a fist, which is convenient for draining water from the yard. However, no one has lived in the old house for a long time. Perhaps because they were afraid that something would crawl into the yard through the hole, someone blocked the hole with stones, and the blockage was quite solid.
A Ruan bent down and squatted on the ground. He first dug it twice with his hands, and when he was sure that he couldn't move it, he used the wooden handle of the iron pliers to hit the stone.
I don’t know if it was rain or sweat on my forehead, but it flowed down my eyelids and blurred my eyes.
Ah Ruan squatted on the ground and fiddled with it for a long time before he finally got it through. He used great strength, and the moment he broke the stone, the force pushed his body forward and he almost fell into the water.
After the drainage ditch was dug, the water in the yard flowed out of the yard along the ditch.
A Ruan was soaking wet, and his clothes were sticking to his body, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He was afraid of catching a cold after being caught in the rain, so he quickly boiled some hot water, took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and cut two slices of ginger and boiled a bowl of ginger soup.
The brown soup had a pungent smell. After A Ruan drank a bowl of it, Feifan didn't feel comfortable at all. Instead, he felt like vomiting.
A Ruan suppressed the urge to retch and poured ginger soup into his stomach. He even had no appetite to eat. Seeing that it was getting late and that he had finished his embroidery for the day, he simply went to bed early.
It rained heavily all day and all night yesterday, and it gradually stopped in the early morning.
After getting up, Wei Lian prepared to go to the fields to check on the rice. Before leaving, she told Sun: "It rained so hard yesterday, and Ah Min wasn't home. You should go check on Ah Ruan later."
Sun said yes, and after his wife left, he was cooking in front of the stove and couldn't leave, so he called his son who had been playing at the door after getting up, "A Luo, go to your uncle's house to check on him on behalf of your father and ask him if he has eaten."
Wei Luo responded happily outside the door and ran away in his wooden clogs.
Wei Luo was jogging along the way, carrying out the task assigned by his father, and would deliberately step over small puddles when passing by.
"Uncle." After arriving at the old house, Wei Luo reached out and pushed the door. After pushing it twice and failing, he realized that the door was still closed.
Wei Luo looked into the yard through the crack in the door, and the door to the main room was not open.
"Uncle?" Usually when he came in the morning, his uncle was already awake.
Wei Luo pushed the door twice more, but saw that the yard was quiet and the door of the main room was silent, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared. He shouted twice more in a crying voice, but still no one in the room paid any attention to him.
Wei Luo stopped shouting immediately, turned around and ran home, running much faster than when he came. The clogs slipped away, but he quickly turned around and picked them up, holding them in his hand without wearing them.
Just as Sun had put the meal on the table, she saw her son running towards her as if he was being chased by someone. With red eyes and sobbing, she said to him, "I called my uncle-in-law but he ignored me. The doors at home were not open. I saw through the crack in the door that the door to the main room was also not open..."
Sun was still holding the bowl in her hand. When she heard her son say that, her hand shook and the bowl fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces with a crisp sound, and the rice porridge splashed all over the floor.
