On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was cloudless.
Xu Hongping was still the same, getting out of bed early.
She washed up and stayed alone in the kitchen to work. The fire burning in the kitchen was imprinted on the wall - a bright red patch.
But after the fire burned for a while, it dimmed again.
She raised the torch and blew the fire with a "pop-pop" sound.
"Mom, how long have you been up?"
"Ahem~" Xu Hongping choked on the smoke.
She coughed twice and replied: Erfeng! I just got up too.
Erfeng took a breath and muttered: Mom, I'm going to wash up.
Xu Hongping stoked the fire and remained silent.
After a while, Xu Hongping rushed to the stove and washed the pot neatly.
After a few minutes, the firewood fell from the stove.
She took the poker to clamp the firewood.
"Mom! Let me do it!" Erfeng strode over.
Xu Hongping said: Go and add fuel to the fire.
Erfeng took the poker and slowly lit the fire.
Xu Hongping asked: Erfeng, how did you sleep last night?
Erfeng responded: Just like that, I will have dreams every day when I sleep until the middle of the night.
Xu Hongping continued: What did you dream about in your dream?
Erfeng replied: The dream was a mess...
"Have you ever dreamed about your husband, my new uncle?" Xu Hongping joked:
Erfeng lowered his head and whispered: Mom.
Xu Hongping said: You are not young anymore, why are you so shy! When I was your age, I was pregnant with your brother.
"Mom, I'm not married yet. You tell me about having children..." Erfeng interrupted:
"So! You should grow up and keep your eyes open to find a good husband." Xu Hongping replied:
Erfeng looked at the pot and called out: The rice is almost turning into porridge.
Xu Hongping responded: Don't interrupt! When marriage comes up, you change the subject.
Erfeng said: Mom, you said you would not interfere with my marriage.
Xu Hongping said: Did I interfere with you?
She waved her little hand and called: Okay, I won't tell you anymore.
"Bring that filter over here." Xu Hongping shouted:
Erfeng handed over the strainer and muttered: Here it is.
Xu Hongping took the strainer and ordered: Go outside and bring in two eggs.
Erfeng turned around and ran straight out.
Xu Hongping glanced at her side and saw that Erfeng had left the kitchen, and thought: Girl! How long do you want to hide it from your mother?
She scooped up rice soup and said softly: When a son grows up, he cannot help his mother, and when a daughter grows up, she depends on her son-in-law. In her heart, she only has a son-in-law.
"Mom, where do you put the eggs?" Erfeng held a few eggs and said:
Xu Hongping replied: Bring it here and I will cook it right away.
Erfeng sat in front of the stove and continued to add fuel to the fire.
Xu Hongping put a spoonful of oil into the pot, and smoke suddenly appeared in the pot.
Erfeng smelled the smell of oil smoke and felt like something was stuck in his neck.
Xu Hongping cracked the eggs and asked: Erfeng, what's wrong with you?
"Lila".
Erfeng covered her mouth and ran straight out the door.
"Sister Erfeng, you!" Shitou stood at the door of the kitchen and said in surprise:
He walked into the kitchen and asked: Aunt Tang, what's wrong with Sister Erfeng? What's wrong with her?
Xu Hongping responded: How could I know!
Shitou raised his feet and shouted: Aunt Tang, I'm going to wash up.
"Shitou, hurry up, we are about to eat." Erfeng ran back and shouted:
Shitou stopped and asked: Sister Erfeng, were you running so fast just now?
Erfeng continued: I didn't sleep well last night and was a little nauseous.
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, I will go to the hospital with you later.
Erfeng replied: I'm not sick, why should I go to the hospital!
Shitou called out: Sister Erfeng is really not sick!
Erfeng replied: I'm really not sick.
Shitou said: Sister Erfeng, give way.
The two phoenixes took two steps back one after another.
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, come and take this soup out.
Erfeng responded: Okay.
She picked up the soup and walked slowly.
As soon as she entered the living room.
Her face became ferocious.
She put the soup on the table and hurried out of the living room.
"Er Feng came out before me. She's not in the living room. Where did she go?" Xu Hongping called, holding the cauldron in one hand and the dishes in the other:
"Mom, are you calling me!" Erfeng took the bowl and went to serve everyone food.
Xu Hongping turned her head and said: Erfeng, where have you been!
"Aunt Tang, Sister Erfeng, thank you for your hard work. Shi Shi overslept and almost didn't even catch up with his meal." Shi Shi said:
Xu Hongping glanced at the stone and replied: The time you got up today is just right, and you will get up at this time every day in the future. I have told you a long time ago that you don't need to get up too early in the morning.
Shitou replied: Aunt Tang, if I sleep like this every day, sooner or later I will turn into a pig.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: If you were a pig! That's pretty good too.
Shitou said: Not good.
Xu Hongping then said: What's wrong with pigs! Pigs are very cute.
Stone responded: If I were a pig! In the winter, others will kill me.
Xu Hongping pointed at the stone and said with a smile: You!
Erfeng held his belly and said with a smile: Who dares to kill you! Who dares to eat your meat?
Shitou replied: Yes!
"Eat, eat, let's chat after dinner." Xu Hongping held back her laughter and shouted:
Shi Shi picked up the bowl and said: I am indeed a little hungry.
Xu Hongping called out: Shitou, drink more egg soup.
Shitou scooped up the egg soup and replied: Aunt Tang, Sister Erfeng, you also scoop up and drink.
Xu Hongping responded: I rarely drink soup...
"If you don't want to drink the soup, you can catch the eggs and eat them." Shitou continued:
"You don't have to worry about me, I will eat it myself." Xu Hongping replied:
Shitou saw Erfeng burying his head and shouted: Sister Erfeng, don't you drink some egg soup.
Erfeng replied: I won't drink anymore, I have no appetite.
Shitou then said: Sister Erfeng, you'd better go to the hospital for a diagnosis.
Erfeng didn't say a word and picked up the rice in the bowl one by one.
Xu Hongping put down the bowl and chopsticks and called out: "I'm going to feed the pigs."
Shitou said: Aunt Tang, I'm going to feed the pigs.
Xu Hongping responded: You haven't eaten enough yet.
Shitou held the rice in his mouth and said, "I've finished eating."
Xu Hongping argued: In order to feed the pigs, you don’t have to wolf it down!
Shitou said: I stay at home every day with nothing to do, and I feel so depressed that I can only feed the pigs. I can do it, and I can do it. I want to take this time to stretch my muscles.
Xu Hongping replied: Shitou, go ahead!
Shi Shi hurriedly ran into the kitchen, picked up the bucket and slowly walked out of the house.
Erfeng chirped and was about to clear the table.
Xu Hongping looked at the door and sighed: He is different from your father. He will not be content with this kind of mediocrity.
"Ouch! My stomach hurts. I have to go to the toilet." Erfeng covered his stomach and shouted:
Xu Hongping said: Go quickly.
Erfeng held his belly and ran out of the living room in a hurry.
Xu Hongping's mind turned around and she whispered: No, why do rocks keep running into the pig pen these days?
Moreover, Erfeng these days!
Will they?
She stood up and ran straight to the pigsty.
She arrived in front of the pig pen and walked softly.
She put her head into the pig pen and "looked", but there was no one inside.
Then, a weak voice called: Shitou, please spread the blanket a little bit.
"Ah! Stone, please be gentle, you hurt me."
Xu Hongping bit her lip and retreated cautiously.
As she walked home, she clenched her fists tightly and said with a smile: It was finally "done", which was more stable than a nail.
yeah!
She ran into the living room and put away the dishes with a smile.
She picked up the bowls and chopsticks and walked to the kitchen.
"Mom, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Xu Hongping came to her senses and replied: Erfeng is back.
Erfeng asked: Mom, you are rarely in a daze. What were you just now?
Xu Hongping smiled and asked: Erfeng, where is the toilet in our house?
Erfeng responded: Mom, why are you asking about the toilet?
Xu Hongping then said: I just want to ask.
Erfeng said: Mom, the look in your eyes makes people panic.
Xu Hongping said: Erfeng, how about that red carpet!
Erfeng said blankly: Which red carpet!
Xu Hongping said: The one placed in the pig pen.
Erfeng explained: Mom, Shitou and I, we are not...
Xu Hongping put her hands on Erfeng and praised: Erfeng, well done, well done, you can lift stones!
Erfeng exhaled and called out: "Don't scold me."
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Why should I scold you? I know the matter between you and Shitou better than anyone else.
To be honest, I like stones very much and I want stones to be my son-in-law.
It's just that there are some things that I have to take care of, and I can't get over the hurdle in my heart.
Besides, you and Shitou like each other, I thought you both would sooner or later!
Unexpectedly, Lin'er appeared in the middle.
Lin'er stared at the stone eagerly, I'm really worried about you...
"Who told you not to allow Shitou and me?" Erfeng replied:
"I was wrong, okay, I was wrong!" Xu Hongping continued:
Erfeng said: I have to thank Lin'er! If it weren't for her! It's impossible for me and the stone to progress so fast!
Maybe, we will!
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, go get that blanket and I'll wash it. From now on, you and the stone will sleep together. Mom is not a conservative person.
Besides! Stone is my best son-in-law...
"I'm going." Erfeng turned around and ran away.
"Erfeng, look at the road." Xu Hongping reminded:
When Erfeng walked back to the living room holding the red carpet.
She hit a rock.
Shitou whispered: Sister Erfeng, why did you take it home?
"I asked her to take it back and wash it." Xu Hongping came over crookedly.
Shitou raised his head and replied: Aunt Tang, blanket...
"What did you call me! Should you change your words?" Xu Hongping interrupted:
Shitou felt extremely guilty, as if he had become a thief, and muttered: Aunt Tang, I love Sister Erfeng, I...
"If you don't change your mind, I will marry Erfeng to someone else." Xu Hongping shouted:
"I won't marry." Erfeng put down the red carpet and replied:
Xu Hongping laughed and said: You stinky girl, you turned your elbows outward before you even passed the door.
Shitou called out hesitantly: Mom, Mom...
Xu Hongping laughed and responded: Uh!
"Mom, before I..." Shitou whispered:
"We don't talk about the before, we talk about the future." Xu Hongping replied:
"Mom, thank you!" Erfeng took Shitou's hand and thanked:
Xu Hongping said: Erfeng, you have never bothered me since you were a child...
"Mom, the matter between Sister Erfeng and me has reached this point, I think..." Shitou shouted:
"Don't think about it. Your dad is not at home. It's useless for you to think about anything!" Xu Hongping continued:
Shitou said: This is true.
"When dad comes back, we'll set up a few banquets." Shitou continued:
Xu Hongping argued: It doesn’t make much sense to show or not to show.
First, Shitou's close relatives are far away.
Second, we don’t have many relatives in our family.
What's more, I don't care about worldly things.
Erfeng continued: Mom doesn't care, Shitou does.
Xu Hongping said blankly: Then wait until your father comes back.
"Ah!" Erfeng rushed out of the door.
Xu Hongping glanced at the stone and quickly followed.
Erfeng squatted at the door, spitting and clearing his saliva.
Xu Hongping came close to Erfeng's ear and said secretly: How many times have you had sex with Shitou (Xu Hongping stretched out her two thumbs and hooked each other).
Erfeng said shyly: This...
Xu Hongping whispered: Mom is here, you and Mom have nothing to say to each other!
Erfeng said softly: "It happened one or twenty times."
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Silly boy, you are going to be a mother.
Erfeng said excitedly: I'm going to be a mother. I'm going to be a mother. I'll tell Shitou to go.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: She is still a child.
Erfeng ran into the living room, hugged Shitou and said: Shitou, you are going to be a father.
hehe······
