Sad reminder Xiaobai

When the weeds on the nearby hills were growing slowly, the wind blew and they fell to one side. The weather was getting warmer, and Zhou Ji was looking at the peach blossoms blooming in the yard.

Alas, with a slight sigh, Zhou Ji lay down on his side, squinting his eyes, looking at the dazzling sun.

In the summer sky, a flock of birds slowly flew past Zhou Ji, looking at it, Zhou Ji's eyes were a little dazzled, and colorful birds popped out.

He hurriedly took the straw hat that was put aside to cover his face, which was warmed by the sun.

The lazy nature was induced, like a chicken leg on a barbecue grill, forced to turn over, I have to say, thinking about it, Zhou Ji was hungry.

I was planning to sleep for a while, to sleep well, to offset this difficult time.

I don't know whose voice it was, it was so loud that Zhou Ji was stunned and woke up.

Sitting up, looking at Zhou Ling who ran up, Zhou Ji's resentment rose slowly, and he lay straight on the soft grass.

Zhou Ling sat beside her and shouted, "Zhou Ji, how can you fall asleep like this? I really admire you."

Zhou Ji said silently in his heart, don't talk to her, don't talk to her, and said silently, Zhou Ji, you have to hold back and let her punch you.

After finally waiting for Zhou Ling to calm down, Zhou Ji turned over on his side, facing his back, so as to make himself more comfortable.

Zhou Ling, who was behind her, suddenly said, "Zhou Ji, get up quickly, I heard that your mother seems to have a baby in her stomach."

This news, really can't be described as shocking, Zhou Ji sat up straight, and asked reflexively, "Can you say it again?"

Zhou Ling froze as if she had been frightened, and said falteringly, "My aunt said that your aunt has a baby."

In any case, Zhou Ji blanked his head for a while, put on his back basket, packed up the farm tools, and walked down the mountain.

Zhou Ling, who was on the side, was quiet and did not dare to speak. When he entered the village and arrived home, Zhou Ji stepped over the threshold with some trepidation, only to find that people kept coming out of the back room.

Putting the basket into the hut beside him, he went into the kitchen next to him, filled a large bowl of water, hiccupped, and stroked his heavy belly.

After entering the back room, A Niang couldn't hide the joy on her face, she glanced at the father standing outside the house, who was having a good time talking with someone, probably very happy.

Zhou Ji couldn't control this subtle feeling, approached, sat by the bed, and softly called "Aniang"

A Niang stretched out her hand to hold Zhou Ji's little hand, moved closer, and bent her mouth, and said, "Ah Ji, A Niang has A Ji's younger brother in her stomach, are you happy?"

Zhou Ji was stunned, didn't answer, nodded, and asked dully, "Aniang, why is it the younger brother and not the younger sister?"

A Niang stretched out her fingers and gently squeezed Zhou Ji's wrist, sighed softly, and said with a smile, "Both brothers and sisters are fine, but Dad wants a younger brother more."

Thinking about it, after all, labor is given priority here, and women can't do as much work as a man.Besides, the matter of inheriting the family is not the top priority in life.

Zhou Jihui held A Niang's busy and calloused hand, and said with deep emotion, "Ah Ji, I will take good care of my younger brother."

"Well, Ah Ji is so good." A Niang said happily.

Time moved to mid-April, and Aniang's belly gradually became more obvious.

Farming is a bit overwhelming, Dad is busy with one person doing the work of two people, even running back and forth.

Zhou Ji laboriously bundled up a large pile of wheat and was about to carry it. Zhou Ling beside him, whose complexion was also tanned to wheat, stretched out his hand to help.

Only then did Zhou Ji tie the large pile of wheat securely behind his back, looked at Zhou Ling, who was carrying it skillfully, glanced at the surprised Zhou Ji, and said, "I really don't understand you, you are so edible, How can you be so weak?"

Zhou Ji was a little embarrassed, didn't answer, and stretched out his hand to help him, some hats that blocked his sight.Slowly and arduously, he walked towards the village with strides.

The vicious sun above his head made Zhou Ji wish he could faint on the spot.

But people's resilience is such resistance to pressure, the more difficult the time, the more tenacious.

Zhou Ji also had nothing to say.

Days move forward step by step, like a donkey grinding a mill, no matter how tired it is, it has to go.

In May, in Liang Nuo's yard, the peach blossoms were in full bloom. Looking from afar, they were pink and tender, but Zhou Ji didn't have time to look at them.

In June, it was already inconvenient for my mother to get out of bed, and my father had to take care of food and drink, and sometimes Zhou Ling's mother would come to help.

Zhou Ji looked at the stove that was constantly smoking, and sighed, so he had no choice but to go on and light the fire tirelessly.

In July, the farming work is halfway through, the busy work is coming to an end, and the preparations are also slowly proceeding.

Zhou Ji stayed at home, taking care of A Niang, and didn't have time to go up the mountain, so he didn't continue to observe the peach tree in Liang Nuo's yard, guessing that the peach blossoms should also fall.

A few days later, when Zhou Ji was still hiding in the kitchen, boiling the weird anti-fetal medicine on the stove, Zhou Ling ran in and shouted, "Zhou Ji, Liang Nuo is back."

Zhou Ji, rubbing his uncomfortable eyes from the smoke, asked "Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Looking at the medicinal soup rolling on the road, Zhou Ji couldn't be in a hurry. Zhou Ling, who was on the side, looked at the burning fire and said in a low voice, "Liang Nuo, this time I came back, and brought her father's coffin with me."

Zhou Ji's hand that lifted the medicine cover trembled, and dropped it to the side. He quickly picked it up in fright, put it away, and after being silent for a while, he said, "Then when will her father be buried?"

"Probably just a few days. Auntie said the weather is not good, so I can't keep it for a long time, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be something unclean again."

Throughout the afternoon, Zhou Ji was busy decocting medicine and preparing meals. Auntie was not feeling well and needed someone to stay by her side all the time, so Zhou Ji didn't dare to leave.

In the evening, when Dad came back, Zhou Ji was free for a while, sitting on the threshold, but hesitated, whether to go to her.

After thinking about it, I never thought of the answer, but the sleepy bug brought it out.

With his head slightly lowered, buried in his arms, he fell asleep unknowingly.

When he woke up, Liang Nuo was sitting quietly by the side, Zhou Ji thought it was a dream, rubbed his eyes, yawned again, dragged his head with his hands, tilted his head, and watched.

Looking at the quiet Liang Nuo beside him, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a year, Zhou Ji actually felt a little strange looking at him like this, so he hurriedly withdrew his eyes and looked at the dry dirt floor, which was so bare that not even a single weed had sprouted.

In a daze, Zhou Ji seemed to have fallen asleep again, his neck was so sore, but Zhou Ji was so sleepy that he really didn't want to wake up, so he curled up and didn't want to move.

The voice that echoed in my ears was vague and annoying. Zhou Ji frowned and continued to fall asleep. Slowly, the voice seemed to be clearer. He could vaguely hear it, as if calling himself. .

When he raised his head, Zhou Ji looked at Liang Nuo's side face, his head was covered, and then he realized that he didn't know when to lean on her side.

She turned her head and asked softly, "Ah Ji, why did you fall asleep here?"

Zhou Ji can no longer tell if this is a dream or reality!
