Nowadays, all festivals are crowded, and all festivals are festivals for children. I was so tired after leading the children to play for a day!
I would like to thank my old friends for their continued support. I am very kind to see that I wish you a happy holiday and all the best for the new and old friends.
***************************************************************************
The yard gate can be closed, the table is fixed, and two broken benches can be seated. A few people sit around the table in the yard. Zhang and his wife sit on a bench, while Ah Fa is sandwiched between his younger brother and sister and sit on the other side.
Cut cooked duck into a plate and serve with a table. Some chopped green onions float on the fish soup, a large plate of salted vegetables, and a bacon stir-fried shredded radish. The rice is a large pot, steaming.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, eat it, don't be polite." Ah Fa smiled and took two large pieces of duck meat into the bowls of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, looked around and distributed the two duck legs to his younger brother and sister.
"Eat, eat." Uncle Zhang seemed to be very moved, took the old bowl and drank a sip of wine, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Ah, I've made a comeback, and I've learned to be sensible."
"Afa was a good child, but he was just a second noble." Aunt Zhang was stupid and didn't say it clearly, but it could be heard that she was defending Afa, saying that it was not his fault that he learned bad things.
"Hehe." Ah Fa smiled, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have to go back to do things after staying for a few days. Xiao Xi and Xiao Zhi, I'm really worried."
The sound of eating stopped. Uncle and Aunt Zhang looked at Afa, Xiao Xi and Xiao Zhi also turned their heads and listened to Afa’s arrangements intently.
"Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang are kind people, and I know best." Afa continued, "I want to ask you to take care of you. Every month, I save five dollars to you." I noticed that Xiao Xi was touching him with his legs under the table. Afa paused and continued, "If there is any change in the family, let them go to your house to eat and live. If the money is not enough, I will make up for it when I come back."
This is the reason why Ah Fa invited Uncle and Aunt Zhang to dinner so enthusiastically. He couldn't always stay here. After leaving, he was worried about keeping money, mainly because he was afraid that the bastard Ergui was bad. With the care of Uncle and Aunt Zhang, the two children would at least not have to starve anymore. When Ergui drank too much and hit people, the two of them also had a way to avoid it.
"This" Zhang Bo's wrinkles thrust, and sighed with remorse, saying, "Friends in the countryside, it's a good idea to take care of each other, but Afa, you know the situation of my family, you are really powerless. Speaking of this, you're so ashamed!"
"I understand." Ah Fa nodded and said, "Even so, Uncle and Aunt Zhang have taken care of them a lot before. Xiao Xi said all these, and I am very grateful."
"I dare not be grateful, I feel ashamed!" Zhang Bo shook his head repeatedly, and there seemed to be a trace of light in his eyes. He took a big sip. He raised his head and said, "Since that's the case, then you can rest assured. From now on, if we can't starve to death, we will have these two children to eat in one bite. The money means you can't ask for anything."
"How can that be done!" Ah Fa reached out and took out five foreign dollars from his pocket, pushed it to Uncle Zhang, and said, "Don't I know what the situation is in your family? Xiao Xi and Xiao Zhi are just when they grow up, so at least they have to eat enough."
"No, no, I can't take anything to say."
"You must take this money. If you don't, you will be coaxing me and I will not be able to let go of it."
After a humble meal, Uncle Zhang finally accepted the money, but pushed it back for two more dollars and said, "I really can't use that much. I'm going to let Xiaoxi take this money. If I think the food is thick, I can buy some snacks outside."
"I love eating raw frying pan stickers." Before Ah Fa could speak, Xiao Xi had already grabbed the money in his hand. His movements were so fast that Ah Fa was stunned. I guess this girl had been staring at the money just now!
After having a meal, Aunt Zhang brought a few broken boards and a few old paper from home. Uncle Zhang jingled and added Ah Fa’s materials to deal with two beds. It was said that it was a bed, that is, a wooden shop, and it could only leave the ground. Xiao Xi and Xiao Zhi laughed and cleaned the house and yard. With Aunt Zhang’s help, Ah Fa had nothing to do.
It was busy until after four o'clock in the afternoon that the yard calmed down. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang declined the invitation for dinner and insisted on going home to eat. Ah Fa chased him out and gave him the leftover wine he drank at noon, and forced him to give him two dollars of wages before turning around and coming back.
"The Erni of the Sun family works in a textile factory and only earns 28 yuan a month." Xiao Xi, who was so sad that she was finally waiting for the opportunity to complain, was worried that Ah Fa gave Zhang Bo four yuan a month.
"Then the factory has to take care of the food?" Ah Fa was not sure.
"Brother, you can just give me five dollars when you open your mouth. How can the hard-earned money be so bad?" Xiao Xi did not answer this question, but just muttered with a pout.
"Haha, I'm not going to pay back two more dollars. OK, okay, don't stop talking, I have something to do!" Although Ah Fa has old memories, he has never experienced the hard days that Xiao Xi and Xiao Zhi have lived in person, and he still finds it a bit funny about Xiao Xi's petty care.
Xiao Xi pouted and watched Ah Fa walking towards the side room. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother, do you want to live in that room by yourself?"
"Yes!" Ah Fa turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"That bed is so small, can it be comfortable to sleep?" Xiao Xi shook his head and said.
Ah Fa hesitated. His things were hidden in the room, and the money was still a trivial matter, but the gun was not suitable for people to discover. The reason why he wanted to have a small bed in that room was the same idea.
"That" Under Xiaoxi's somewhat confused gaze, Ah Fa said, "No need, I'll just stay for three or five days, just one go."
"But I want to hear you tell the story outside tonight." Xiaoxi blinked and looked very expectant.
"Then," Ah Fa smiled bitterly, nodded helplessly, and said, "Then let's sleep in the big bed, it's still warm when you squeeze."
"Okay, okay! I'll get your quilt." Xiao Xi jumped into the side room. For a moment, he heard the girl's cry of regret and dissatisfaction again, "Brother, why are you so bad? The rubber shoes are broken..."
……………………
Under the rising sun, Ah Fa waved his fists and feet in the yard, kicking forward, kicking horizontally, kicking forward, hitting his knees, hitting his hand side, and cutting with his bare hands... His movements are quite standardized, and the layman looks like he is full of energy. But Ah Fa knew that, whether it is speed, strength and sensitivity, this body can only exert 10% of the peak of his previous life.
Since yesterday, Ah Fa found that his appetite has skyrocketed, and by supper, it was almost more than twice as good as before. What followed was the speed of recovery from his body that surprised him. When he lay quietly on the bed, he could almost feel the strength, the strength of his body, and the return of increasingly strong self-confidence.
