Eat Honey[Transmigration Book]

As soon as Xiao Yao fell asleep, he slept until dinner time. Because he seldom slept at this time, he did not sleep deeply. Instead, he had a lot of dreams. Someone called him vaguely. He opened his eyes, and in the dim candlelight, I saw Zhou Haiquan calling him to get up: "It's dinner, go to bed after eating."

Sleeping during the day, my head hurts, and Xiao Yao has no appetite.But he got up anyway, went outside, saw Uncle Chu asked, "Are you asleep?"

Xiao Yao let out a "hmm" and went to the bathroom outside, only to find that the snow outside was thick and creaking when he stepped on it. It was too cold, and it might be the result that he had just come out of the warm blanket and was shivering with cold.After going to the toilet, I came out of the hut, saw Zhou Haiquan standing outside, and said, "There are wild cats around here, have you seen them?"

Xiao Yao shook his head: "Are there any wild cats?"

"Yes, I saw it just now when I went to the latrine." Zhou Haiquan said.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao was not only not afraid, but also very excited. He walked around the yard and saw no wild cats.He heard that wild cats are bigger than domestic cats, have a strong temper, and can hurt people. He doesn't know if it is true or not. He has only seen it on TV, and their eyes glow green.Except for the snow field, it was all dark in the four fields, only their house had a dim light. He really experienced how warm the winter night was, and he couldn't help shivering again.

Uncle Zheng came out and said with a smile: "It's time to eat, it will be cold if you don't eat."

Dinner was simpler, with a plate of pickled cucumbers. Xiao Yao had no appetite, so he mainly ate that, dipped in chili sauce.After drinking the remaining half bottle of wine at noon, Uncle Zheng took it out again and said, "Drink two cups to warm your body."

Xiao Yao felt cold, so he drank two more cups. Strangely, he thought it tasted better than the one he drank at noon.Uncle Zheng said, "You can drink well."

"Actually, I don't know how much I drink," Xiao Yao said, "I don't usually drink too much."

Uncle Zheng took out the plum wine at home: "We usually drink this, you should try it."

There are bright red bayberry soaked in it, which looks very delicious. Xiao Yao has never drank bayberry wine, so he thought it was sweet, but after taking a sip, he found that it was very spicy.

"Yangmei wine is good. It invigorates the stomach and eliminates food, promotes body fluids and quenches thirst." Uncle Chu said to Xiao Yao, "Drink a few more sips and you will get used to it."

Xiao Yao drank up the big glass of red bayberry wine unknowingly. After drinking it, he felt a little dizzy. It felt very strange. When he stood up, he staggered. She reached out to support him, and asked with a smile, "Are you all right?"

"No...it's okay." Xiao Yao smiled, probably because of the alcohol, he was a little excited, "Just a little dizzy."

He also took two special steps, his feet were soft and comfortable, mainly because this experience was new to him, Uncle Chu said: "Drink some soup, drink more water, the alcohol will soon go away."

"How do you drink it? If you think it tastes good, I will bring you a pot when you leave. I brewed a lot." Uncle Zheng said.

"I'm not used to this," Zhou Haiquan said, "Xiao Yao, sit down and drink some soup."

Xiao Yao smiled and sat down next to him, maybe he was a little dizzy, and looked a little childish. He lay down at the table and took a sip of the soup, his face was flushed and very gorgeous.

"I used to be able to drink," said Uncle Chu. "When I drank a lot, a bottle of white wine was fine."

"You're ashamed to brag about it," said Uncle Zheng, "he drank heavily when he was young, and it hurt his health, so he quit alcohol as a last resort. That's not honest, he still has to drink a glass every now and then. Now his blood pressure is a bit high, I If he is not allowed to drink, he is still not happy."

"If you can't smoke or drink when you're old, what's the point of living." Uncle Chu said, "That's all I have now."

"You still have to focus on your health," Zhou Haiquan said, "Uncle Zheng is also thinking about your health."

"It's enough to live at this age," Uncle Chu said with a smile, "When a person is old and crippled, it's easy to hurt others. When the day comes when life can't take care of itself, it's better to enjoy it as soon as possible. Go early."

His tone is very open-minded, but it sounds a little sad.Probably after drinking, Xiao Yao said without thinking, "You can't think like this. If you are gone, what will Uncle Zheng do?"

Uncle Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "You see, you are not as good as a child who can see through everything. You can't die all day long."

Uncle Chu laughed, took a sip of tea, grabbed the thin blanket on his knees, and said, "Since I've said this, I've always had a request in my heart, and today I want to take this opportunity to tell Xiao Zhou .”

"The more you talk about it, the more energetic you are." Uncle Zheng said.

Zhou Haiquan smiled and said, "You tell me, I'll listen."

"My body is getting worse and worse. Others don't know it, but I feel it myself. I have been helping each other with this old guy for so many years. He, an orphan, is very poor. At home No relatives, no reason, if I die first, he probably won't even find a body collector, a few years ago I..."

"Look at you," Uncle Zheng interrupted him, "after drinking some wine, you start nagging again."

"Don't interrupt me," Uncle Chu continued to say to Zhou Haiquan with reddened eyes, "A few years ago, I asked someone to find my nephew and told him about it, saying that if Lao Zheng died later, I would ask him to come Come here to collect a corpse and bury him, he won't bother. But I don't feel relieved to find an outsider for this matter. Xiao Zhou, look at this..."

His tone was a little cramped, probably trembling, the old man's voice trembled as if he was out of breath, although he was smiling, but his eye circles were red: "I think, if we two are companions, we will still be together." Well, if I die, please take your uncle Zheng out, even if you throw him in any nursing home, we both thank you."

Zhou Haiquan nodded solemnly and said, "Even if you move out now, I can arrange it."

"How dare you bother you like this, we are used to living here, and we don't want to move outside." Uncle Chu poured a glass of wine as he spoke, and said, "Come on, Xiao Zhou, I'll toast you, please excuse me .”

Zhou Haiquan quickly picked up his wine glass and touched Uncle Chu. Uncle Zheng was smoking beside him and didn't speak, his face was a bit ugly.After drinking, Uncle Chu turned to look at him and patted him on the shoulder. Then Uncle Zheng said, "You entrust this and that, why don't you try to live longer, it's useless to think about it every day. I'll let you Take care, be careful, and you don’t want to, isn’t that the fake mercy of the cat crying and the mouse.”

"That's right, it must be right that Uncle Zheng is doing your best." Xiao Yao said.

This topic came to an end, and everyone started talking about the snow outside for some reason. Uncle Chu said: "The snow can fall, and it hasn't stopped until now."

"It seems that the temperature and snow have dropped in most parts of the country these days." Zhou Haiquan said, "Tomorrow we have to explore the road, otherwise the snow will get thicker and thicker, and we may not be able to go out if the mountains are closed."

"It doesn't matter if you can't go out," said Uncle Chu, "Just stay here with us, there is food and drink, and you won't be hungry."

"What do you mean, people just want to eat and drink, and there is no serious business outside? Xiao Zhou is the person who manages such a big company." Uncle Zheng put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "I will go with you tomorrow .”

Xiao Yao just smirked around the stove, he couldn't turn his head around right now, he was in a daze.

After eating, he was about to stand up and help clean up. Zhou Haiquan saw that his face was flushed and his eyes were dazed, so he knew he was still a little dizzy, so he said, "Sit down, I'll come."

Xiao Yao staggered out the door and went to the bathroom, but when he was about to come out, he suddenly saw a black figure jumping out from the side, which made him stagger and almost fell on the snow.

Are there really wild cats?

He regained his senses a little, and when he came back, he went straight into the kitchen to see if there was anything he needed to do, but he saw Uncle Zheng sitting by the stove and lighting a fire, the fire reflected his bronzed face, he was quite old and haggard Seeing him coming in, he smiled and said, "The smoke is heavy, be careful not to choke you."

"Why is the fire still burning at this time?"

"Warm up some hot water and soak your feet." Uncle Zheng said, "Go out, this house is dirty."

Xiao Yao didn't leave, but bent over and came in, squatted down in the stove fire, reached out and took a branch, and stuffed it under the stove: "It's the first time I've seen a stove," he said, pulling When the bellows was turned on, the flames immediately became more intense, so he laughed and said, "I heard that there are fewer such bellows in rural areas now, and now they are all the ones with chimneys, which can directly pump the fire up. It seems that they use The principle of hot and cold flow does not need to pull the bellows, the wind will drill in by itself, which is clean and trouble-free."

"I know what you're talking about," said Uncle Zheng, "that kind of waste of firewood, the stove has to be rebuilt, and you and I are getting older, so let's make do with it."

Xiao Yao smiled, hesitated for a while, and said, "Uncle Zheng, I want to ask you, do you really want to move out?" He was thinking about how to make his question not awkward, but he was a little confused , with his face being scorched by the fire again, he felt a little dizzy, "Don't be embarrassed, brother Zhou is really rich, it's not difficult to arrange you. Your place is too remote, there are no neighbors around, If something happens, what should we do?"

Uncle Zheng was silent for a while, then said: "Forget it, I've been here all my life, don't cause trouble for others. I thought it would be best if we both died on the same day. We are both satisfied and don't bother Outsiders, don't listen to your uncle Chu's nonsense, I have long been very open, people die like a lamp going out, and it doesn't matter if the corpse is collected or not, it's just a shell."

Xiao Yao didn't know why, he was a little sad, and said: "Actually, it's normal for people to trouble others, or to be troubled by others. Who can rely on themselves all their lives?"

Uncle Zheng sighed: "It is said in the world that young couples come to accompany each other. Although you and I, Uncle Chu, are not husband and wife, we can be regarded as good brothers who help and support each other for a lifetime... We are closer than brothers, how can brothers be friends?" Like us. If you say you are not afraid at all, that is true. Not to mention the friendship you have had for so many years, you are just used to it. When someone dies suddenly, you feel uncomfortable, and you are not used to it in life. Lying alone In this barren mountain and wild forest, if you think about it, it is really scary. But if you think about it the other way around, after he died, I just went to a big city, where I can eat well and live well, so what if I live a few more years? If you are going to die, if you have to bother people you don’t know before you die, relying on others to eat, drink, and scatter, and lose your dignity, it’s actually meaningless. Forget it, forget it, people are already old, and they used to be two I came here personally, and for the remaining few years, let’s live like this.”

As soon as Uncle Zheng finished speaking, Zhou Haiquan came in with a washbasin outside: "Why are you here? I said why I didn't find you. I thought you were taken away by a wild cat." He said to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao stood up and said, "I went to the bathroom just now, and I really saw a stray cat."

Uncle Zheng smiled and said, "Scare it when you see you. Wild cats are also afraid of people."

Zhou Haiquan lifted the pot, scooped up a basin of water, and said to Xiao Yao, "You wash first."

Xiao Yao washed his face outside, and the water was not wasted. He took it inside and washed his feet. It seemed really cold today. His feet were itchy after being soaked in hot water, as if they were frozen. , white and tender feet, but the side of the little toe is red.

"Lie down on the bed quickly, don't get cold again." Zhou Haiquan said.

Xiao Yao hurriedly sat down on the bed, and ten minutes later, Zhou Haiquan also came in after washing his feet, closed the door and said, "It's so cold, the wind outside is getting stronger."

You can feel it through the cracks in the window, there is a whining sound, the wind in the mountains is very loud, the branches are shaking, the sound is lonely and cold, and it is a little scary.Xiao Yao moved inward, almost leaning against the wall, when there was a knock on the door outside, Zhou Haiquan opened the door, and it was Uncle Zheng, who smiled and said, "Old Chu asked me to give you the stove."

"We don't need it," Zhou Haiquan said, "you can keep it."

"There is still a stove at home. That's fine, you guys go to bed early." Uncle Zheng closed the door after saying that.Zhou Haiquan put the stove towards the door, then opened the door a crack to let in air, walked to the bed by himself, and saw that Xiao Yao had moved to the innermost part.

The wooden bed in the country is naturally not as good as the big bed in the hotel. It is a bit narrow, and it is a bit more comfortable for one person to sleep, but it is a bit crowded for two people to sleep.This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that they didn't even think about staying overnight, and they didn't bring pajamas, but it was uncomfortable to sleep in clothes. He untied his belt, turned his head and asked Xiao Yao: "Is it okay?"

Xiao Yao froze for a moment, and said "hmm".

Zhou Haiquan took off his pants.
