Brother of Rebirth

As soon as the hour passed, Qi Wu went to Uncle Zhao's house. He had told Su Ling and Aunt Sun that if it was late, let them eat by themselves and not wait for him.

It was almost noon, and Qi Wu was late, and Mrs. Sun guessed that Qi Wu would not come back for dinner. She thought about making some simple and appetizing meals to fill her stomach. She asked Su Ling, and Su Ling asked him to make whatever he wanted, so Mrs. Sun made it herself. Claimed to go.

It was getting hotter day by day, Su Ling took off the morning blouse, went to the pine cabinet and found a set of linen bunts for a change, then felt refreshed, went to the carved bronze mirror, looked The neck is covered with red marks from Qi Wudou, what's more, the legs and arms exposed by the bunt are covered with bruises.

Su Ling was taken aback, thinking that she had to take a look in the mirror, otherwise she would be seen by Mrs. Sun in such a dress, how embarrassing it would be.

He immediately took off his clothes, at least he found a spring shirt and put it on, checked it around, and it was covered, but the neck was really not covered. Thinking about it again, when I went out for breakfast in the morning, the grandson The sister-in-law must have seen it, she was so careless, now it's over, then the sister-in-law Sun must have secretly laughed in her heart.

The more I thought about it, the more I was annoyed by Qi Wu. This brute always loves him, and his body is easy to leave marks. If he doesn't pay attention, he will be seen as a joke. Looking around, he saw a wooden box in front of the bronze mirror. The round box is the face powder that Qi Wu brought to him when he went to the city a few days ago. Su Ling never likes to put something greasy on his body, so in order to cover those red marks, he had to put some on it Yes, I opened the round box, put some greasy powder on the palm of my hand, and applied it little by little on the red marks, slowly fading away, looked around, and felt relieved.

Aunt Sun's voice came from outside, "A Ling, it's lunch time."

Su Ling responded and went out.

Mrs. Sun's sharp eyes saw the unnatural white marks on Su Ling's neck at a glance, she secretly laughed in her heart, this child is so funny, it's probably just trying to cover up.

Su Ling's skin is fair and delicate, these face powders are not as natural and fair as the original skin, but are more eye-catching. With this kind of skin type, this kind of appearance, probably any kind of face powder would be too much for her. Aunt Sun looked at Su Ling and thought.

This kid Qi Wu is really a blessing.

There were only three of them at home, and they usually went to bed at noon, and Mrs. Sun made simple cut noodles.

Mix the white flour with water, and press it again and again with a bamboo stick to make the dough very chewy. Then spread it out with a round stick, fold it into several stacks, and cut it into noodles that are as wide as a finger one by one. Boil the water, put it all in, scald it, put it in a bowl, add chili, diced green onion, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, wedelia sauce and other condiments, quickly clear the water in the pot, and put the pork in while it is hot Oil, burned to the surface emitting white smoke.Scoop it with a spoon, pour it on the noodles one by one, mix quickly, and a bowl of delicious, hot and sour cut noodles is ready.

The pickle soup has already been prepared and heated on the back stove, Mrs. Sun brought the food trays together, and brought them all to the dining table.

Achang's little greedy cat saw his favorite hot and sour sliced ​​noodles, his hands were muddy and dusty from playing with them, so he jumped on the table.

Mrs. Sun pinched his nose, "Hurry up and wash it, I won't let you eat this bowl if you can't wash it clean."

Achang screamed strangely and went.

Su Ling looked at the steaming cut noodles, dotted with red and green chili peppers and scallions, and was splashed with hot oil, exuding a tempting aroma. This summer's appetite was not good, but the hot and sour smell rushed over Su Ling. Ling immediately felt a little hungry.

Mrs. Sun's craftsmanship is really buried in this countryside.

Su Ling took a bite of the sliced ​​noodles. There was a burst of aroma at the entrance, and as he chewed slowly, the hot, sour and delicious taste gradually permeated, happily distributed in every taste bud. It was so delicious that he wanted to chew his tongue. Su Ling After blowing, I took another bite. In this hot summer, it would be such a happy thing to eat a mouthful of oily, hot and sour noodles.

Su Ling ate until his nose was sweating, "Sister-in-law Sun, if you open a restaurant, I, I will go to your place to eat every day."

Aunt Sun covered her mouth and laughed straight, "You child, you were so sincere before, but you have been with Qi Da for a long time, and you have started to talk glibly."

Su Ling said, "What I said is true, sister-in-law, I love every dish you cook."

Mrs. Sun smiled, and suddenly looked a little lonely, "I originally wanted to open a restaurant in the city with that dead ghost. He is not in good health and can't do farm work, and I feel sorry for me, a woman who works hard in the fields every day. It's a pity. , Unfortunately, he left before even writing the horoscope."

Su Ling never thought that such a casual chat would touch Mrs. Sun's sadness, and she blamed herself, "Sister-in-law Sun, don't be sad. If you like it, I'll talk to Ah Wu and see if I can rent it for you in the city." A shop, you really can't bury such a good craftsmanship."

Mrs. Sun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It's not that simple, I'm still so young, how can I leave me, and I don't dare to think too much about it, it's thanks to you for taking care of us mother and son. Dead bodies in the wilderness."

Su Ling said, "Don't say that, what do you accept, whether you accept it or not, we can eat so much and so much delicious food when you are at home. In the end, I don't know who will take advantage."

Mrs. Sun smiled, "You are more and more able to talk, you child. After all, it is impossible for me and Keqi to stay in Qi's family for a lifetime. Let's just wait a few years. After a few years, Keqi will grow up to be as big as Achang." , I’m considering going to the city to become a cook.”

Su Ling smiled, "I, I want to participate."

Aunt Sun had already understood the concept of shareholding just now, and seeing Su Ling say that now, she was overjoyed, "I will definitely give you a shareholding."

After eating, Qi Wu still didn't come back. Su Ling saw that Mrs. Sun was taking a jar of nectar that he had soaked himself and poured it into another jar, and couldn't help being surprised, "Sister-in-law Sun, you, what are you doing?" ?”

Sister-in-law Sun said, "It's the most refreshing to drink in summer. It's not easy to get drunk, and it's sweet and delicious. I steamed a lot of millet rice yesterday. It's best to make this honey wine with nectar."

Su Ling likes someone like Sister-in-law Sun who can make the ordinary life alive.That is to say, in this ancient time, there was no concept of living family. If it was a coincidence, the intangible value of Mrs. Sun's handicrafts might be more profitable than the water ganoderma that she sold.

Mrs. Sun mixed the ingredients in the jar, sealed it with oil paper, mixed some mud, sealed the mouth of the jar, moved the jar of honey wine to a warm corner of the courtyard to ferment, watching the sun warm Looking at the corner, Mrs. Sun wiped her gray hair and smiled gratifiedly, "It will be healed in half a month."

Su Ling looked at the jar and began to look forward to it.

Mrs. Sun seemed to think of something, "In half a month...it's almost Qi Da's birthday again."

Su Ling asked, "You said Ah Wu's birthday is in half a month?"

Mrs. Sun nodded, but soon she sighed, "Forget it, it's not a good day."

Su Ling was even more surprised why Mrs. Sun would say that, birthday, why isn't it a good day?

When I was in the orphanage, what I looked forward to the most was the birthday. Every day when it came, the director would take him to the playground that Xiao had wanted for a long time. This was a rare expectation in the boring years of the orphanage. If there is any day that is the happiest, Su Ling will choose birthday without hesitation.

Auntie Sun looked at Su Ling who was full of suspicion, and sighed again, "The birthday of Qi Da is also the anniversary of the death of his parents."

Su Ling was startled.

Mrs. Sun said, "Qi Da never celebrates his birthday, so don't mention it to him, he will scold me later."

Su Ling felt a little uncomfortable, "He, his parents..."

Sister-in-law Sun looked into the distance, revealing the vicissitudes of life in her eyes, "The situation in that year was even worse than this year, the war had just subsided, and there were bandits everywhere. It hasn't rained for three months, and Qi's father and mother are finally dragging their four brothers, it's very hard."

Aunt Sun looked back from a distance, and looked at Su Ling sadly, "It was Qi Da's birthday that day, although I ate sweet potatoes and drank porridge for several days, at least I had something to eat, so I can be a parent , since they wanted to give something good for the child’s birthday. That day, they went to the city and exchanged the remaining copper coins for meat buns. The rogues of the Qi family were originally given to them, but the Qi family's parents were also stubborn, and they desperately guarded those big meat buns of Qi's, and later, later..."

Mrs. Sun couldn't go on talking anymore.

Su Ling's eyes began to blur, and slowly there was moisture on his cheeks, that person, that person... Su Ling couldn't think of anything to say.

Su Ling thinks about the man who loves his family, defends their safety, food and clothing, puts himself at the bottom, thinks about others when he has good things, and tries his best to carry their livelihood on his own shoulder. Even though she had such a sad past, she never showed any fragility.

Obviously, he must also have sad times.

Su Ling suddenly missed that man who looked fierce.

Although sometimes he is so strong towards himself, Su Ling knows that he is the weakest one. That reckless man dotes on him and tries his best to give himself a good life. Whenever he is in danger, , always desperate to save him even at the expense of himself.

Su Ling thought about it later, his sense of security in this world came from this man.

Those pampering, love, and all the dedication.

For some reason, Su Ling suddenly missed this man.
