Bi Yue finally finished cleaning and put the broom and shovel into the warehouse.
She wanted to see if her mother could slip again this time. If she sprained her waist again, it would mean her mother was too stupid.
He entered the kitchen, picked up the teacup, and drank half of it in one gulp, regardless of whether it was hot or cold.
After drinking, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and took off his cotton hat. His short hair was wet with sweat and stuck limply to his scalp.
Bi Yue didn't even have time to rest. She looked around while wondering "Where is Dad?"
I really admire her mother. It seems that there is nothing to eat at home. Where did she get the pig blood and tofu?
He muttered to himself, "Never mind, let's burn the house first."
She put on her cotton hat again, took the dustpan and started carrying honeycomb coal, poking the stove in each room, until her face and nose were covered with black ash.
After keeping the stove on for most of the night, if it got hard to light, she would have to run to the warehouse to find some dry wood to stuff in the stove.
After finishing all the work, Bi Yue looked up at the time and felt a little worried.
Squatting in the kitchen, I was so worried that I forgot to wash my face, peeling potatoes with a frown on my face.
It's almost 7 o'clock at 6:30. You have to come back no matter what you are doing. Where are you?
She got up quite early in the morning, but when she touched her side, it was cold. Most of her mother's quilt was under her feet.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a sound at the door. I quickly stood up and looked out. Liu Yafang's loud voice came:
"Hey, who cleaned the yard?"
Bi Yue stood at the doorway, rolling her eyes. She knew the answer, but she still asked. Who could it be? The Snail Girl.
Then the voice of Chen Cuiliu could be heard faintly.
Chen Cuiliu's lips trembled from the cold, and she kept shifting her feet while speaking:
"Sister Yafang, brother-in-law, thank you so much. I can't hold on any longer. I have to go back to the house to warm up first."
Bi Yue didn't wait for her parents to arrive, she quickly opened the kitchen door and said in surprise:
"You two took her to see the flag-raising ceremony? How did you get there?"
There are no cars on the road at three or four o'clock, and there are few minibuses. How lucky would you be to find one so early in the morning?
Liu Yafang took off her headscarf, her cheekbones red from the cold. She picked up the teacup before replying:
"You're so smart, I was hoping you wouldn't think we were lost.
We're just here to watch the flag-raising ceremony, right? We can't let them come here for nothing.
Haha, how did you get there? This time I might have been too patient. I just walked there and took the bus back.
Danier, your dad is not as good as me this time. I led them to the car and I remember every line.
I helped point the way when we went there. If you had listened to your father, you would have taken the wrong path."
After saying that, he looked at Bi Yue and smiled, sniffing his nose, looking very proud.
Bi Yue looked at Bi Tiegang.
Bi Tiegang was just rolling up his sleeves to wash his face, and nodded at his daughter with a complicated expression, testifying:
"Yes. Your mother is really a good person. She is so stupid that I am freezing because of what she said.
It's not reassuring at all. You're always calculating. If you want to calculate, don't go out. If you go out, just go out quickly and happily.
But she insisted on waiting for the bus.
What time was it when we finished watching the flag-raising ceremony? The bus hadn't arrived yet, so we just stood there in the square.
Your aunt Cuiliu almost cried from the cold, and we were also very cold.
You say your mother, you have a cold, and we have to buy pills, don't that cost money? Besides, if the child gets frozen, wouldn't that be a disaster?
No matter what I say, he won't listen. The main kidney is not straight, it's not straight!"
Liu Yafang was arguing while unbuttoning her coat:
"You are so good at complaining to your daughter. This guy is your father. He knows nothing when asked, darling?" He looked at Bi Yue again:
"You don't know how clumsy your father is.
The kid Xiaochu took us to watch the flag-raising ceremony. He pointed here and there and said something, then pointed at the tall building opposite and said something.
It's just about the flag-raising time and the sunset and sunrise time. They all have their own opinions.
Back then, Xiao Chu asked your dad, "Uncle, remember?" Your dad agreed, but what happened? He got stuck at the critical moment. I asked him to say a few words, but he didn't know anything.
"That's not stupid waiting, what? You're so dry, you can't even say a useful word!"
Bi Yue: “…”
Did you walk? Standing in the square for hours? Are you guards?
It's all very frustrating. She was just involved in a lawsuit early this morning.
Liu Yafang threw her coat onto Bi Tiegang's back, causing Bi Tiegang to glare at her. She didn't care and rolled up her sleeves to ask Bi Yue:
"What are you doing? What do you want to eat in the morning?"
"What else to eat?" Bi Yue was puzzled: "Mom, I just looked around, and there is nothing left at home, not even a few potatoes. Did you go to the vegetable market yesterday?
Liu Yafang snatched the potato scratcher from her daughter's hand and said with a chuckle:
"Then your mother hasn't achieved anything like that. The vegetable market recognizes me, but I don't recognize it.
Go, wash your face and get ready, I'll cook.
What is it? I ran into my neighbor when I went out yesterday. I borrowed it from Mr. Sun, the neighbor next door."
Bi Yue's eyes widened: "Borrowed pig blood? Tofu? Bean sprouts?"
"The bean sprouts are our own. I soaked the beans and grew them the day I arrived."
Bi Yue looked at Bi Tiegang. Bi Tiegang was so overwhelmed by his daughter's helpless look that he scolded Liu Yafang:
"You've come to the city with such shame. How can you be so arrogant when you're so capable? Do people recognize you? You just come to their house and borrow their money."
"Why don't you recognize me?!
When I asked about taking a bus, I knew I could ask the Sun family about it.
Besides, what's so shabby about it? Our Gadda even borrows food certificates, and you go out to borrow money all the time, so what if I borrow tofu?"
