The second marriage of the stars

No problem - the mute wrote these three words with confidence.

Although this kind of agreement was made, Xingzhao didn't believe that he could complete the task, which was different from cooking okra.The okra has a slippery and greasy taste and is disgusting, but it has no strange taste, and no matter how carefully the bitter gourd is prepared, it will have a bitter taste.Not to mention Doudou, it is estimated that 90.00% of the children do not like hard things, their nature is like this, and there is no way to change it.

After eating the snacks and continuing to wander around, Doudou suddenly asked the man in a loud voice if he could spin a spinning top.Seeing him shaking his head, the little guy grabbed his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll teach you."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Xingzhao, and began to act like a baby: "Dad, buy me one, and let's play together when we go back."

There are many colorful baubles on the stall not far away. There are twenty or thirty tops of different sizes on the dark blue floral coarse cloth, some of which are painted with fresh colors, and they spin very beautifully.Seeing that he likes it, the father didn't hesitate, and bought a rainbow pattern: "Have you memorized today's Tang poems? I'm going to elementary school soon, so I can't patronize and play."

"White blankets are spread with poplar flowers along the millet path, and green coins are stacked with lotus leaves in Dianxi. No one sees the baby bamboo shoots, and the ducklings sleep next to their mothers on the sand." In order to prove that she is not lazy, Doudou milk childishly recites a song of Tang Dynasty. Du Fu's "Manxing Quatrains No. [-]" made the dumb dumbfounded.It is considered good for a child of this age to recite some popular sentences such as bright moonlight before the bed, spring sleep without awakening dawn, etc., but he can even remember quite unpopular chapters. Is he extraordinarily smart or a lazy father who didn't teach step by step?

Does he know what it means, the mute asked.

Xingzhao picked up his son and laughed loudly: "How could he know, he just recited it."

Sure enough, this guy's early education failed very badly, and he completely used his son as a repeater.The man thought about it. It is useless to memorize it by rote. You have to let the child absorb the knowledge and apply it alive.In this way, I will teach Doudou from tomorrow.

"You?" It's not that he doubts his knowledge, but how can a person who can't even speak teach others to read.

Being underestimated, the mute was somewhat upset, and wrote a paragraph in a flurry of words-let me try it for a week, if it doesn't work, you will kick me out immediately.Not only can I teach Chinese, but I can also teach painting, swimming, piano, and foreign languages. I am also a master of close combat and jujitsu. I can completely save hundreds of dollars in tuition fees for interest classes!

"You make the delicious bitter gourd first, and then talk about being a tutor." So omnipotent?Xingzhao didn't believe it!

Contrary to his father's suspicion, Doudou was looking forward to the mute's teaching, and kept asking this and that excitedly. Of course, he couldn't understand many words, so he had to ask his father to translate the man's answer for him.

After turning two streets, passing by the only department store in the town, Xing Xiao went in and bought a lot of things.Doudou's snacks and high-calcium milk, the rice noodles and cooking oil that the family lacked, etc., and also selected cleaning supplies for the man.After walking around for a while, I took sandals and a few changes of clothes. Although they were all cheap sweatshirts and knee-length shorts, they were all worn by rural workers, so there was nothing to be particular about.

After paying the money, I thought that the man’s previous family background should be good, and now I let him live a hard life. Although it’s not my fault, I still feel a little sorry: “The weather is hot now, so I’ll make a living and wear it first, and I’ll buy it for you when the weather gets colder.” .”

What do you mean, can you stay?

The mute suddenly felt a sense of relief, but before he got a definite answer, his heart was still hanging.

Already very good, fits perfectly, thank you.Your T-shirt is really too small, I don’t feel good wearing it—I can’t wait to go home, so the mute found a public restroom and changed into a new one. When I took it off, I found that it was stretched and baggy.Xing Zai is actually not short. The height of 174 belongs to the middle and upper middle in the relatively petite southwest region, but compared with tall men, it is still half a head shorter.

"How tall are you?" He said with envy.

190 - quite a staggering number.

"That's great. I hope Doudou can grow tall and strong in the future. Don't be like me. At least 1.8 meters or more, good baby, tell me." It can be seen that he really loves his son , This kind of kindness is continuously emanating from the eyes, tone, and actions.The mute was watching the interaction between the two fathers and children. Many words originally written on the paper were crumpled up by him and thrown into the trash can.Such a beautiful moment, don't disturb them.

After shopping around the market, they bought the food for the evening and walked home with big and small bags of spoils.On the way, I met many acquaintances who greeted Xing Cai cordially. Some patients who had been taken care of by him even stuffed boiled eggs, red dates and other foods into their pockets.

You are so popular, and everyone likes you—the mute expression was very disappointed when he wrote this sentence.

"Doctors are parents, I just do my duty. Fortunately, everyone treats me sincerely. People here are easy to get along with and kind-hearted. The neighbors are like relatives." After shopping all afternoon, Doudou was sleepy. , Xingzhao carried him to bed, ready to let the child sleep until dinner.The man looked at him with complicated emotions, and it took a long time to write, so no one has hurt you or made you sad?

"How could it not be." I thought I had let go of the past long ago, but every time I thought about it, I still felt the surging pain in my heart.After all, he married with the feeling that even if you don't love me, I will fall in love with you with all my heart and fulfill my obligations as a husband and wife, but he got this kind of ending.But he didn't want to speak ill of that person, he couldn't bear to blame him, and he didn't want to fall into hatred and couldn't extricate himself.So I can only shake my head and justify my tolerance: "Life is like this, there is no way everything goes smoothly, there will always be people who don't like you, and things that don't go your way, just look at it."

Do you hate the person who hurt you——the dumb questioned.

"I said, did you inquire too much, hurry up and prepare dinner." Although he was not angry, Xing Zou would not open his heart to anyone casually.

A patient just happened to come, so he simply drove the man into the kitchen and went to the clinic to do some work by himself.

In summer, the sun was long, and it was still light at seven o'clock in the evening. Xing Zou, who was finally done with work, moved the table and benches to the roof, planning to have dinner there.As for his two-story building, although the design is unreasonable, every room is boxy, too tall and too big to be used, but the roof has been tidied up very well.Flowers are planted, fish are raised, grape vines climb the whole shelf, and there is a swing.

"Why is this, there are no other dishes today!?" Doudou, who was awakened from starvation, rubbed her eyes, not believing that the table full of green vegetables was today's dinner, and made an exaggerated protest: "I quit, I want to eat meat! "

"Look, I told him he doesn't know how to eat bitter gourd." Facing a table of carefully cooked bitter gourd dishes, no matter how much Xing Hao persuaded him, he just refused to touch it, and he almost cried in the end.The mute was heartbroken, and he didn't care about the agreement whether he would stay or not, so he quickly fried luncheon meat and fried delicious egg fried rice to feed him, to calm down the little guy's anger.

What a failure—after washing the dishes, he pushed Doudou on the swing, with a clearly frustrated look on his face.

"Don't think about it, children are like that, and they don't like bitter taste. I think it's delicious, especially the cold dish, which is super good for rice. But because the bitter gourd is cold, I'm not feeling well right now, so I can only taste a little. It’s not that your cooking is not delicious.” The man’s craftsmanship is nothing to say, although the taste is not as gorgeous as in hotels and restaurants, but it is very good, and it has a warm feeling after eating, which can make people add another bowl of rice: “Yes By the way, do you know how to cook fish? Xiaolin’s father is a farmer. I just ordered a few pig mouth fish from him and they will be delivered tomorrow. I usually stew them in clear water. The meat is tender and less thorny, and it’s very refreshing. I'm tired of eating stew, so try another way."

Pork mouth fish?The name is interesting, the man has never heard of it, so he asked about it.

It turns out that the current of the Beipan River is turbulent and the water level drops greatly. A fish with a particularly well-developed snout grows in the huge rock crevices.They live in the rapids and live by eating small fish, shrimps and algae on the rocks. Because of the large amount of exercise, the fish meat is particularly firm and elastic.The strange thing is that the fish meat is not bad, because of the high fat content and the gelatinous skin rich in collagen, the taste is very tender and smooth.

It is a pity that because of its delicious taste, pig mouth fish was overfished and killed on a large scale in the 80s, and it was almost extinct. It has only been artificially bred in recent years.

Doudou loves to eat this kind of fish very much, and Xingzhao wants to use this as compensation for not letting the children eat well at night.

No problem, but I want to borrow your computer. I haven’t seen this kind of delicacy before. I don’t know how to cook it to maximize the value of the ingredients. The sun is sunny, and the land is barren and flat, and the people are so poor that they can't even afford food.Unexpectedly, this place not only has a good ecological environment, outstanding people, but also countless gifts of nature, it is indeed a treasure.

No wonder they stayed here and didn't want to leave... Looking at Xingzhao's back, the mute had a lot to say, but couldn't write a single word.

The next day, Xiao Lin personally delivered six pig mouth fish, each weighing two or three pieces, alive and kicking, very fresh.Putting down the plastic bucket, seeing that the mute was still in the clinic, he frowned, and gave Xingzhao a look that you were messing with and didn't drive him away.

"Mute is very capable, I plan to hire him. You know I'm pregnant again, it's always inconvenient to be alone, and I have to have left and right hands to help." Of course, you can't say this in front of the mute, the bitter melon matter has not been settled yet, Xing Zou didn't want him to be too complacent, lest the man feel that he needed him very much: "Don't worry, he is very nice and caring. Except that he can't help with medical treatment, I can leave everything to him."

"You can think about it." Now that the decision has been made, it's not convenient for Xiao Lin to say too much, but he still added: "Call me if you need anything, anyway, I'm next door, just yell three times and I'll come to save you and Doudou .”

"Understood, thank you Lord Xiaolin for your kindness in sheltering me." Clasping his fists with both hands, he saluted exaggeratedly: "There are customers in your shop, why don't you go say hello."

"Okay, then I'm leaving." As soon as the enthusiastic oil tea shop owner left, Xing Xiao felt a fetal movement in his abdomen.

He touched his gradually swollen belly, and couldn't help but sigh how quickly time passed, this little guy was almost four months old.April is a critical period for fetal development. It grows rapidly and requires a lot of calories and minerals. It is also necessary to supplement nutrition in time to avoid fatigue.As a doctor, he certainly knows this, but he is under financial pressure and cannot close the clinic to rest.

There are tens of thousands of deposits, but he is not a woman. The lack of a birth canal prevents a male pregnant woman from giving birth naturally, so he can only choose to have a caesarean section. This is a lot of money.In addition to prenatal training and postoperative recovery, she was unable to work for several months, and Doudou was about to go to elementary school. Even if the mute could take care of him, she still had to be paid.

"Hey, it's really not the right time, can't you postpone it for two years?" He felt a little headache when he thought of the huge expenses.

What's the matter, is there something uncomfortable? Seeing his sad face, the mute squatted beside him and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Xing Zou sat up straight, trying to pull himself together: "Maybe I've eaten too much cold food these days, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I think you should stop trying to make bitter gourd. I can't eat it, and Doudou can't eat it." If you are willing to eat it, it would be a pity to waste it."

Then can I stay? Worried that I won't be able to get Xingzhao's approval, the mute showed a panicked expression, and quickly wrote that I am really capable and willing to do anything, and I don't need money.

"As long as you are willing to stay and help, of course I welcome you with both hands. However, since I am hiring you, I'd better explain the salary clearly so that there will be no problems in the future. I can cover food and housing here. The salary is not much. Every month Eight hundred. You are responsible for taking care of Doudou, cooking three meals a day, and the cost of buying vegetables is calculated separately, so you won’t suffer.” He can’t do things like taking advantage of others, but the salary can’t be high, okay In this small place, the per capita income is very low, and there are seven to eight hundred jobs all over the street: "Would you like it? I can't help you buy insurance or other benefits. I'm also in a tight financial situation recently."

No money, no money, as long as you let me stay—the mute laughed.

"It's so easy to be satisfied, which makes me feel embarrassed." Xing Zou also laughed, feeling at ease with this man by his side, as if he could overcome all the difficulties: "Okay, let's go fish, I'll come too help."

Soon, scents and laughter came from the kitchen, and the dumb jokes written on the paper made Xing Hao laugh out loud, temporarily forgetting the troubles in life.

The author has something to say: Don’t complain about the low salary for the dumb, the province where the author is located is an underdeveloped and relatively backward place, and the wages in many towns and towns are really hundreds of thousands, but relatively, the prices are not that high XD
