C37 (2/2)
Big Sister and Little Sister are still supporting me. With such a pair of people fooling around in front of me, I can't stay here any longer. ”I want to go back to the main hall,” I say weakly.
So my mother made me a pallet in the corner of the hall. This will be my place from now on. I had an urge to leave the house. He didn't know where to go.
At dinner, the few of them gathered around a table, talking and laughing. I lay on my stomach on the bunk. In front of me was a bowl of porridge and a piece of pickle. I said, Mom, get me a bun and some stir-fried vegetables. My mother was sitting on a stool. She twisted her neck and looked at me, saying, ”We don't have any more buns at home, and we've already finished all the dishes. We only have some soup left, so let's pour it out for you!”
Second Sister Jin Yuhong quickly said, ”I can't pour this soup for him, I still have to pour more out for my meal!” She picked up the dish and poured the soup into her own bowl.
The eldest sister, Jin Yuxia grumbled: ”Mother, if Er Nizi eats like this everyday, we won't be able to raise her!”
I also saw, originally there was a basket of square buns on the table, each of them took one or two to eat, and the rest were all eaten by Second Sister Jin Yuhong. She ate no less than ten square buns. This square bun was steamed by itself, it had a big body and high density, one square bun and two and a half mantou on top. Even a hungry ghost would not be able to eat as much as her. Her stomach was bulging and her clothes were unbuttoned.
”Why does Yuhong eat so much? This is abnormal! ” ”No,” I said.
Mother said: ”Ever since she got that little person in her stomach, she has been eating more and more! He ate more today than he did yesterday. Maybe he would eat even more tomorrow than he did today! Eating with your life on the line, what are you eating with! ”
Yang Dabao chewed on his food as he said, ”Mom, quickly get Er Nizi to get married. Let her torment her wife's family! ” He still had a bun in his bowl, so Er Nizi picked it up and ate it herself. This caused Zhao Xinxin to say unhappily: ”Make Big Treasure eat more!”
”What's the point of eating so much? So full of energy, why don't you do it? ” Second Sister Jin Yuhong replied.
”That's me, what's wrong? Did anyone do it to you? I heard from Xianzi that you dig your crotch every day. Even though the people don't seem that big, the addiction is still too big to blame! ” Zhao Xinxin ridiculed.
Second Sister Jin Yuhong took a deep breath, her eyes staring as she tried to retaliate. Her mother quickly said: ”Yuhong, there's still a bun in the kitchen, if you want to eat it, take it!” When the Second Sister heard her, she didn't have the time to argue with Zhao Xinxin and quickly got up. Running towards the kitchen, she was afraid that someone would snatch it away from her.
I asked, ”Is Er Nizi still bleeding from his lower body?”
Mother frowned and said: ”No more, but yellow pus! A huge amount flowed in a day! That smell can really stink people to death! ”
Zhao Xinxin threw down her chopsticks and said angrily: ”I'm not eating anymore. I'm so sick of talking about these disgusting things, I can't eat any more!”
Mother looked at her and said: ”It's good that you don't want it, let Er Nizi eat the remaining food! Even an old sow would not be able to eat at home! ”
”Hmph, we can't let her get away with this! ”I'd rather die from pushing myself!” Zhao Xinxin picked up the bowl and continued eating.
Second Sister Jin Yuhong couldn't find the bun in the kitchen. She complained that her mother lied to her, cried and made a ruckus. Finally, she got anxious and went to the chicken coop to eat the egg. Zhao Xinxin was so angry that she started to cry and bawl, ”There's no eggs to eat tomorrow, how are we going to live!” The mother looked at Yang Dabao with her face drooping.
Yang Dabao chuckled, he stood up from the stool and walked to Zhao Xinxin's side and patted her shoulders, and said: ”Don't cry, let's go, I'll bring you to bed!”
Only then did the house quieten down.
After cleaning up the tableware, it was already late in the night. I lay on the floor staring awake. Mother came to my side and sat down with a worried look on her face. She sighed and said: ”Shier, the family is so poor now, and is always so anxious when they are poor. If it's not this noisy, it's that noisy. You have to think of a way to earn two dollars! ”
I said: ”There's still a Zhao Xinxin buried in our yard, you haven't told anyone else about this, including Yang Dabao!”
”No!” Am I stupid!? I just don't know if the person in the cabinet below is still alive! ” Mother said.
”What about the plastic tube for ventilation? Has someone been pulled out? ” I asked.
”No!” It was still stuck perfectly in the ground! Didn't it rain heavily that day? I even took some boards and oiled paper and built a shed to cover the plastic pipe. I didn't let the rain pour in! ”What I'm worried about is that the person in that cupboard hasn't eaten or drank for days. Can they even starve to death?” Mother said.
”Give me your phone, let me contact Lao Chang!” ”No,” I said.
