Chapter 9

The Four Treasures, who had no idea what Yu Wuya was thinking about, was thinking about when she could go to Jiang Er again.

It's roasted sweet potatoes and candied haws again. It's too good for me. It's not like this Yu Wuya, who only bullies herself, and it's not like the fierce old man Yu who only despises herself.

Even during dinner in the evening, Si Bao sat in the courtyard and looked at the old man Yu's face full of ravines in the lobby, and felt that the rice glutinous rice in the bowl was no longer tasty.

Moreover, the old man Yu was always staring at him, and the second brother who never liked her was always looking at him. Their eyes and sight made Si Bao feel a little uncomfortable.

Because something happened to Liu Xiulian's family, Yu Dabao accompanied Liu Xiulian back to her family early in the morning.

The work of cooking at home fell on Aunt Yu again.

She still has to work in the fields, and the men in the family, one or two, don't care about these trivial farm work.

Aunt Yu was so tired that she couldn't stop crying in her heart.

Because the old man Yu and Yu Erbao were at home, the Four Treasures stayed in their own house all the time, did not go out, and did not want to go out.

A gust of hot wind hit, and Aunt Yu estimated that it was almost time for lunch, so she straightened up and took a breath.

The sun is gradually darkening in the sky, the clouds are dense, and the sky is about to change.

Aunt Yu picked up her hoe and hurried home. She didn't know if anyone had picked up the clothes hanging in the yard and the crops she had taken back a few days ago.

Walking from the ridge to the edge of the avenue, Aunt Yu vaguely saw a butcher selling meat at the entrance of the village.

Thinking of coming home, haven't seen meat and fish for a while, so Aunt Yu stepped forward and wanted to weigh some meat home.

Looking at the white flesh, Aunt Yu couldn't help but sigh, and she felt the front of her clothes but found that she didn't bring any money.

No way, have to go home first.

Aunt Yu stepped into the yard with her front feet, and the rain fell on her hind feet.

It crackled and hit the ground, and the splashing water was mixed with muddy soil.

Aunt Yu hurriedly ran into the courtyard and carried the clothes hanging on the bamboo poles back into the house.

Soon he rushed into the rain screen with a rake, and pushed all the few grains to pile under the eaves.

Old man Yu was sitting in the main room smoking a dry cigarette, watching Aunt Yu working alone in the courtyard.

Aunt Yu was so tired that she was panting, and all her clothes were soaked with rain.

With a sigh, Aunt Yu went back to her room holding the clothes that were put into the house in time.

Sibao sat by the window with her hair loose, her white fingers resting on the black-brown window frame, staring at the outside very seriously.

Seeing Aunt Yu entering the house, Sibao turned her head slightly to look at her mother, and then quickly turned back to look out the window.

Seeing that she was serious, Aunt Yu didn't call out to her.

After the dirty clothes on her body were changed, Aunt Yu walked over to the Four Treasures and combed her hair.

One end of the blue silk was divided by Aunt Yu from the middle, and half of the hair on both sides was gathered at the top of the head, twisted into two matching buns, and the rest generally hung down at the back of the head.

The Four Treasures, who had combed their hair, looked cute, shook their heads, and said sweetly to Aunt Yu, "Mother."

"Hey!" Aunt Yu's heart was softened by the sound of Sibao's call. With a smile on her face, she gently touched Sibao's head.

For a while, all the hard work and exhaustion of working all morning seemed to disappear.

Aunt Yu knew that her daughter was never stupid.

The rain outside the house kept ticking, and Aunt Yu took some dry wood from the woodshed to prepare a fire for cooking.

There is not much oil left in the house, Aunt Yu fry two green vegetables, but she is not willing to put much oil.

On the contrary, when I cooked rice porridge for the Four Treasures, I poured more. After all, the Four Treasures were really thin, and Aunt Yu was reluctant to be harsh on this girl who already ate less.

Yu Erbao, who hadn't shown up for a while, appeared at the dinner table when it was time for dinner, and Yu Wudi followed him and sat down.

At the dinner table for four people, there are two plates of green vegetables and a small plate of pickles.

This is called Old Man Yu very disgusted.

"Why are there all vegetarian dishes, what do you want me to eat?" Elder Yu held chopsticks in his hands and stared at Aunt Yu with bulging eyes.

Aunt Yu's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly when he shouted, and after carefully placing the bowl on the table, Aunt Yu said, "It's not raining today, it's delayed, I'll weigh in later. Bring back some meat."

The kind words did not make the old man Yu hold back his temper. Instead, he intensified his tone and questioned Aunt Yu: "If you don't say anything, I will forget that the last time you used your wages to buy meat, it is estimated that it will be enough for our family to eat. Have you had several meals?"

Aunt Yu's face was ugly, and she lowered her head and didn't speak. Seeing this, Old Man Yu snorted and didn't speak anymore. He took a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth.

No one noticed that Yu Wuya, who was sitting beside her, was shaking unnaturally when she heard her parents' conversation.

After the meal, Aunt Yu packed up the dishes and put them in the kitchen to boil water to wash the dishes. She saw Sibao came out of the house with the bowl and put the bowl into the pot.

Aunt Yu talked to Sibao while boiling water: "Sibao, will you buy meat to cook for you tonight?"

Sibao sat on the small stool next to Aunt Yu and nodded obediently: "Okay."

Hearing that there was something delicious, Sibao's tone became more cheerful. Usually, he only said one word, but now he added a small ending.

Aunt Yu's smile deepened. Seeing the Four Treasures like this, she couldn't help but lead the Four Treasures to speak, "Which one do you prefer to drink, rice porridge or meat porridge?"

Sibao didn't answer immediately, but tilted her head to think carefully. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and she forgot what it tasted like.

"Meat and porridge."

The simple two words were spoken slowly by Sibao, word by word. But this was the first time Aunt Yu had heard her say two complete words, not just a passing tone.

Even so, Aunt Yu was very satisfied.

In the afternoon, the rain gradually faded, and finally stopped, and the sky began to clear.

Aunt Yu was about to go out to buy meat.

Sibao took off her shoes and went to bed in the morning.

Aunt Yu walked lightly, walked to the edge of her bed, and groped under the pillow and quilt.

Suddenly, her expression changed, she lifted the quilt in disbelief, and hurriedly found it on the bed.

But no matter how she looked for it, she couldn't find the copper coins she put there.

Aunt Yu became more and more flustered, and her movements became louder. Not a small movement directly woke the Four Treasures on the bed next to her.

Sibao rubbed her eyes and stared at her mother in a daze, and her puzzled eyes fell on the bed that was turned over by her mother in a mess.

But now Aunt Yu didn't have time to appease her, she patted her head with her palm to make herself awake, and searched carefully in her mind.

It suddenly occurred to me that Yu Wuya was arguing with her that she wanted to eat candied haws, but Aunt Yu was not sure.

After all, this is just a conjecture.

She turned around and asked Sibao, "Sibao, have you ever seen anyone enter the house?"

Sibao thought about it for a while, then shook his head decisively, saying no.

Aunt Yu now understood something, so she asked the Four Treasures again, "Have you ever been on Mother's bed?"

Sibao didn't even think about it, she shook her head very quickly, she didn't like going to other people's beds at all.

Seeing this, Aunt Yu didn't ask any further questions, and walked out of the house directly.

Yu Wuya ran out to play after lunch, not knowing where anyone was at the moment.

Although Aunt Yu lost her money, she was anxious, but she also knew that before the matter was clear, she couldn't just rely on the fifth girl.

For a while, didn't know where to start, and Aunt Yu had to search from place to place according to her impression.

At this time, Yu Wuya was walking to the beach with a group of children.

When they said they were going to the beach to pick up shells, everyone was overjoyed, and some even carried small baskets on their backs.

Only Yu Wuya was terrified and a little absent-minded.

A little girl who was only five or six years old glanced at Yu Wuya, then raised her hand a little cautiously and embarrassedly and handed her a small shell.

Yu Wuya was thinking about something in her heart, and was suddenly startled by her action, and subconsciously pushed the person away.

Although Yu Wuya looked thin, she was much older and stronger than the girl. She pushed the girl to the ground directly, and even took a bunch of shells that the girl was holding scattered on the ground. land.

There was a sharp shell in the girl's hand, and the delicate palm was directly cut, and blood flowed.

The girl fell to the ground and cried with a wow, her round and lovely face was red from crying, and the children beside her were all dumbfounded.

Yu Wuya was so frightened that she turned around and wanted to run. She didn't know the little girl, and she didn't know why it was serious when she just accidentally pushed her.

But the older children had come to their senses and surrounded her.

"Yu Wuya, why are you more fierce than me? What are you pushing her to do for such a small sister?"

The one who spoke was Shen Jiaqi, the son of the Shen family Xiucai. His round body stood in front of Yu Wuya, and he asked her angrily.

Although he is used to being arrogant on weekdays, he is a boy after all. He always protects little girls younger than himself, not to mention that the little girl who was pushed to the ground by Yu Wuya is very beautiful.

Yu Wuya was so flustered by his question that she desperately wanted to leave the place, but she didn't answer Shen Jiaqi's words, she pushed Shen Jiaqi away and ran away from him.

Shen Jiaqi was immediately unhappy, and followed behind with a group of younger brothers.

Instead, the little girl who fell to the ground was left in place.

The little girl cried even more pitifully, her hands were still bleeding, and the sand on the ground had been dyed red.

Her face became pale, and the little girl's cry became smaller and smaller.

A woman glanced uncertainly from a distance, then rushed over in a hurry, hugged the little girl who had fallen to the ground in her arms in horror, reached out and squeezed her injured palm for her, and wrapped her with a handkerchief. , temporarily stopped the bleeding for her.

Yu Wuya was being chased and wanted to run home in a hurry. At the entrance of the village, she ran into Aunt Yu who was looking for her.

Aunt Yu grabbed Yu Wuya's ear and yelled at her angrily: "What are you running for, did you cause trouble outside again?"

Yu Wuya stood on tiptoe as her ears were pinched, and she hurriedly said, "It hurts, mother, it hurts to death."

Seeing this, the group of children chasing after him laughed, especially Shen Jiaqi, who turned his back and forth with a grinning mouth.

I even forgot why chased after him.

Aunt Yu didn't care about that, she grabbed Yu Wuya and went home.

On the way, Aunt Yu asked her, "Didn't you tell me last time that you want to eat Naoshizi candied haws?"

Hearing this, Yu Wuya was startled, and she didn't care about the pain in her ears. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her small eyes rolled quickly.

"Yes, yes, last time I said I wanted to buy it, didn't you say it was too expensive and wouldn't be willing to buy it for me?"

"You'd better tell me the truth." Aunt Yu stuttered when she heard her words, her tone became more serious.

Now Yu Wuya is really flustered, she doesn't know if Aunt Yu really knows, she is a little bit speechless: "I didn't, it was Yu Sibao who stole the money, I saw it with my own eyes, if you don't believe me, go and see her. There is also a candied haws hidden in that cloth pocket!"

Speaking of the back, Yu Wuya nodded to her mother with a certain expression.

Yu Wuya's words made Aunt Yu stunned for a moment, her face full of disbelief. It seems that the only way to understand the matter is to go home and read it.

Aunt Yu took Yu Wuya hurriedly to the house, but she didn't know that an uninvited guest had already arrived.
