The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Feng went out hunting during the day and she continued to make molds at home. After dinner, Cheng Feng asked her, "Are you going to the city tomorrow?"

The fool said without thinking: "Aren't you going?"

Cheng Feng asked again: "Are you going to the city the day after tomorrow?"

The fool thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Not going?"

After a while, Cheng Feng said: "Are you going the day after tomorrow?"

The fool thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead."

Cheng Feng said: "Oh."

The fool asked: "Why do you ask this?"

Cheng Feng said: "It's nothing. If you don't go, I won't go these days. I'll save up some prey for a few days and go together."

In the past, Cheng Feng didn't go to the city every day. Winter was different from summer. The prey could be frozen and left for a few days without any problem. If he wasn't in a hurry to change money, he would save a few days before going, so he wouldn't have to trouble Uncle Chen all the time.

The fool said: "Okay."

At night, the fool cooked hawthorn. Cheng Feng said, "What are you doing?"

The fool said: "I will make popsicles later, and I will go to the city with you to sell them for money the day after tomorrow."

Cheng Feng asked the fool: "What is a popsicle?"

The fool said: "You will know soon. If you are not in a hurry to go to bed, just wait and I will let you eat later."

Although Cheng Feng didn't know what the popsicles in the fool's mouth were, but the fool didn't sleep to make popsicles, he wanted to help so that the fool could go to bed early. He said, "Then let me help you light the fire."

The fool boiled a pot of hawthorn water. When it was almost cooked, he added sugar to the pot. He added a lot of sugar. Cheng Feng felt distressed when he saw it, but he didn't say anything. There was also a lot of hawthorn in this pot. The fool can do whatever he wants.

The fool poured the hawthorn water into a basin. She took out the mold she made, poured the hawthorn water into the mold, inserted a bamboo skewer inside, and carefully took the mold out.

Then the fool cleaned the pot and started to cook the mung beans. As soon as the water boiled, the mung beans turned green. She immediately poured out the water, otherwise the water would turn red if it was boiled again. She cooked the uncooked mung beans until the bean paste was cooked.

The fool added sugar to the mung bean water. Cheng Feng thought to himself, how much sugar did you buy?

Then the fool found the mold and made mung bean popsicles.

When the fool took out the mold filled with mung bean water, he took a look at the hawthorn popsicles she had made. They were already frozen solid. She brought the mold back and placed it next to the stove. After a while, the hawthorn popsicles could be removed from the mold. After pulling it out, she gave the first one to Cheng Feng. Cheng Feng saw that it was a tongue-shaped popsicle. He took a bite. It was sour and sweet and was really delicious. The fool looked at Cheng Feng expectantly. Cheng Feng nodded and said, "It's delicious."

The fool happily unmoulded all the hawthorn popsicles, put them into a basket, and sent them outside to freeze.

Then when entering the house, continue to fill the mold with hawthorn water.

The two of them did nothing else that night. Instead, they made all the water into popsicles. They could freeze a batch in more than ten minutes. Unfortunately, there were fewer molds, which would have been easier.

The two of them were already very sleepy when they went to bed. This was the last night they slept in the past few days. Cheng Feng hugged Fool and fell asleep.

Neither of them got up too early the next day. When the fool opened his eyes, Cheng Feng had already woken up. The fool raised his head and said, "When did you wake up? Why didn't you call me?"

Cheng Feng said: "I see that you are sleeping well. I have to wake you up when I come here."

Cheng Feng's body was indeed very hot. There was no warmth in this cold house once the fire ceased at night. If Cheng Feng got up, she would definitely wake up from the cold. What made her feel strange was that people here didn't seem to sleep on the heated bed. When she went to Aunt Chen's house in the front yard, she didn't see a fire pit or a wooden bed, but it was much warmer than Cheng Feng's house. First of all, the house was a red house, which was half brick and half earth. Secondly, there is a stove in Aunt Chen's house. Cheng Feng's house is an earthen house and there is no stove, so it is much colder here than in Aunt Chen's house.

It's not that she doesn't know how to build a stove, it's just that the ground is so frozen at this season that she can't even dig out a piece of dirt. There's no way she can build a stove, so she has to hold on.

The fool let go of Cheng Feng's hand and said, "Get up then, you'll still be alive in a while."

Cheng Feng stared straight at Fool. This look made Fool particularly uncomfortable, mainly because they were so close. She avoided Cheng Feng's eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

Although Cheng Feng spoke calmly, a fool could hear the suspicion in his tone right away. Cheng Feng said, "You're not going to make popsicles, are you?"

The fool sat up and felt that the heat in the quilt had escaped a lot. She said, "I have bought so many things, I have to do them."

Cheng Feng had no choice but to get up and go to the ground, handing the fool's clothes to the fool.

Cheng Feng said while getting dressed: "Can anyone buy this popsicle?"

The fool said: "It should be possible. Didn't you say it was delicious yesterday?"

Cheng Feng nodded and said, "It's quite delicious. If we can't sell it, we can keep it for ourselves."

What Cheng Feng said was delicious was true. He ate two popsicles yesterday. He loved both the hawthorn and mung bean popsicles. If he hadn't heard the fool say that they would be sold in the city, he could still eat them while sitting by the stove. There are quite a few popsicles, but saying that I can’t sell them and keep them for myself is just to comfort the fool. After all, the cost of these popsicles is quite high. If they are not prepared to sell them in the city, no one can make such an expensive thing that is not worthy of being eaten. eat.

After hearing what Cheng Feng said, Idiot felt much better. She smiled and said, "If the popsicles are sold well, you won't have to go hunting in the future."

Cheng Feng's hands tying the buttons visibly paused. When he grew up, Fool was probably the best person to him. Although Fool lived in the house for a short time, Fool was not generally kind to him and gave him things he had never had before. warmth.

Since his parents died when he was a child, he has been living at his brother's house. Although he was not hungry, it was only later that he could hunt. The life of his brother and sister-in-law became better, and the family had enough food and money. , but he has never worn new cotton, whether it is cotton coats or trousers. They are all old cotton that his brother and sister-in-law replaced and made for him again. But he doesn’t choose, his parents are gone, and there is one It's good that his sister-in-law can mend things for him, but his brother is a soft persimmon. If nothing happens, he will let his sister-in-law make trouble. For his brother's sake, he has to endure it.

Before the separation, his sister-in-law would give him a bad look if he didn't go hunting for a day, so he rarely showed up at his brother's and sister-in-law's house every day when they weren't eating.

Now that there is a fool cooking for him at home, he no longer has to look at Liu Dalan's stinky face, and his life is much better than before.

The idiot also made him a new cotton-padded jacket and trousers, which are still warm. The peach cakes he bought for the idiot were only ten yuan in total. When he was hunting in the mountains, the idiot secretly brought him eight yuan. He watched them last night. , there are still two pieces left, and the fool is not willing to eat even one piece. The remaining two pieces should be taken to the mountain for him to eat when he is hunting.

In so many years, Juanzi never asked him whether it was cold or hungry when he went hunting in the mountains. He just asked him to buy delicious food if he had nothing to do. He would satisfy everyone's requests and buy them back every time. He could not count the number of things he gave Juanzi. He and his niece and nephew bought many packages of peach cakes, but when he first tasted the taste of peach cakes, a fool secretly put them in his pocket.

Just like what the fool said, he really felt that Juanzi was a bit embarrassed to eat the noodles the day before yesterday. He could clearly feel that the fool looked down on Juanzi, and his eyes were filled with contempt and contempt. He saw it all, and he felt very sad the day before yesterday. He felt uncomfortable. He didn't know whether it was Juanzi's behavior of rushing to eat the noodles that made him uncomfortable, or the fool's words and contemptuous eyes that made him uncomfortable, so he hurriedly sold the prey and bought more white noodles for Juanzi. He didn't want to It really doesn’t look good if Juanzi comes to grab food like this from now on.

He also gave Juanzi some more coins yesterday, because when the fool took out the coins and gave them to him the day before yesterday, he seemed to deliberately let Juanzi snatch them away as if he had never seen the money. This seemed like giving him coins, but Cheng Feng thought about it for a day, and he was right. The fool was teasing Juanzi deliberately to make her look embarrassed, but Juanzi didn't know it.

As soon as I got up this morning, Idiot said that after making money from selling popsicles, he wouldn't have to hunt anymore. It sounded like Idiot wanted to support himself. Since Idiot could speak, Cheng Feng had to think carefully about anything Idiot said. Think about what this fool meant.

He could tell just now that Silly was not laughing at him for making little money from hunting, but probably feeling sorry for him for the hard work of hunting.

Cheng Feng had just planned to help Fool make popsicles at home for another day, but he still felt that he would go hunting in the mountains. He couldn't make Fool feel that he could not support his family, and he had to rely on her to make popsicles to support the family.

Seeing that Cheng Feng didn't say anything, the fool got dressed and went to the kitchen.

Still making gnocchi, the two of them ate gnocchi in silence. The fool said: "You come back early in the evening, I will cook early."

Cheng Feng could understand what the fool meant, which was that the fool wanted to prepare delicious food for him to come back early to eat.

Cheng Feng nodded.

The fool continued to make popsicles at home. She made several more types of popsicles. Unfortunately, the molds were not enough. She could freeze several popsicles at a time. The most popular ones were various rectangular shaped popsicles, so she had to continue to make a few more. mold.

Yuhua started to lie on the wall again. She didn't know what the fool was doing back and forth in the yard. She shouted to the fool: "Fool, what are you busy with?"

The fool smiled when he saw it was Yuhua: "Wait for me."

She went to the side room and took out two prepared popsicles and handed them to Yuhua. Yuhua saw a popsicle with a rabbit pattern and a red tongue-shaped thing and said excitedly: "Idiot, what is this?"

The fool said: "I made the popsicles. They are delicious."

Yuhua stuck out her tongue and took a lick, then nodded and said, "It's delicious. Idiot, you are so awesome. I haven't even eaten it."
