Tofu Dongshi

After a few days, Dou Jiafu's toe got better and he started to work early again. He couldn't help it. He didn't go to the city for a few days. Except for a little soybean, he basically ate everything else at home.

In fact, his foot injury has not fully healed, and he still has a dull pain when he exerts force, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.If he was the only one in the family, he would be able to get by with a little rice and noodles for a while, but now there is an extra man who can eat and drink and is picky, and the expenses are rising, but it will be the top in a few days. Can't stop.

When Dou Jiafu was pushing the scooter to go out, Zhen Zhigong had a rare conscience and said, "Are your feet good, don't walk halfway and it will crack again."

Dou Jiafu replied angrily: "No, so what, there is no rice at home, I won't sell tofu for money, cousin, what do you eat?"

"Cousin" was speechless, annoyed by Dou Jiafu's rude words, but also embarrassed and depressed by the truth of what he said.

He was also aware of the situation at home, last night he took a handful of rice out of the rice bag and cooked half a pot of porridge, and the two of them ate a meal together.In the morning, Dou Jiafu ground tofu and baked a few pancakes with the remaining bean dregs. This was the daily ration for the two of them.

Zhen Zhigong himself admired himself, his eldest and young master had always been well-clothed, well-clothed, well-clothed, rich and caring, but now he was living a poorer life than a monk. It was a miracle that he survived for so long.

While he was feeling sorry for himself, Dou Jiafu pushed the car out of the yard creaking.

When it was getting dark, and Dou Jiafu hadn't come back yet, Zhen Zhigong couldn't help worrying, that kid's foot injury wouldn't really get worse, did something happen on the way?

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly tugged, and he couldn't care less, he went out on tiptoe with his right foot, and walked forward along the road that Dou Jiafu entered the city.This is the first time he has stepped out of this yard since he was rescued from the injury.

Fortunately, after a while, I saw the familiar figure pushing the cart. Although his gait was a bit unsteady, he was a good guy.

Zhen Zhigong felt relieved, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did you come back so late, and your feet hurt? Let's just forget that the tofu can't be sold out. It's not the same to keep the rest for yourself."

He is now used to the days when there is tofu every day, and he will feel uncomfortable if he can't eat it any day.

Dou Jiafu said nothing.

Zhen Zhigong thought that his business was not good and felt unhappy, so he lost his temper with him as usual and didn't take it seriously, the two went back to the small courtyard together.

After entering the room and lighting the lamp, Zhen Zhigong realized that something was wrong. Dou Jiafu kept his head down and dodged, not facing him directly, and did not respond to what he said.

Zhen Zhigong became impatient, and pinched Dou Jiafu's chin to force him to look up, "What are you hiding, what did you do wrong?"

After seeing it, Zhen Zhigong gasped, Dou Jiafu was almost unrecognizable, his small face was bruised and swollen, his already small eyes were almost invisible, and there was a cut in the corner of his mouth, stained with stains. Black and gray blood.

Zhen Zhigong's face darkened immediately, "Why did you become like this, who beat you?"

Dou Jiafu was already on fire in his heart, and he was even more irritable when Zhen Zhigong asked him with a dark face. He pushed him away forcefully, and said firmly: "You don't care who he is, it has nothing to do with you anyway!"

Nothing to do with him?

Zhen Zhigong laughed back angrily, this little bastard really wants to rebel.

Dou Jiafu came back with a small bag of rice and some rotten vegetables and melons that were obviously picked up by others. Zhen Zhigong took the initiative to cook the food. Although the taste was not as good as Dou Jiafu's, it was still rare for him.

During the meal, Dou Jiafu still didn't speak, but the expression on Wu Qing's face was no longer so ugly.

After eating and taking a shower, the two of them went to bed.

Originally, Dou Jiafu would sleep with his upper body naked every night, which was convenient and comfortable, and also reduced the wear and tear of the clothes, but this night he wore an underwear, which made Zhen Zhigong a little uncomfortable.

Dou Jiafu's skeleton is well-proportioned, his skin is smooth and tender, and he feels very good in the hand. Zhen Zhigong hugs him every night, and often can't help but touch him twice.Now separated by a layer of rough cloth, the tentacles are like rough sandpaper, of course I feel uncomfortable.

After the two lay side by side in the familiar position for about a quarter of an hour, Zhen Zhigong said in a low voice, "Little Tofu, tell me about yourself."

After a while, Dou Jiafu's muffled voice sounded, "How do you know I'm not asleep?"

Zhen Zhigong smiled lightly, raised the hand on his waist and pinched the tip of his nose, which is not tall enough but small and slightly raised, "Of course I know, you usually fall asleep as soon as you touch the bed, and you fall asleep as soon as you fall asleep." He snores a little, like a pig. Now that he is so quiet that he can’t even hear his breathing, he is naturally still asleep.”

you are a pig!Your whole family is pigs!Dou Jiafu cursed in his heart, his face was slightly hot, but the nerves that had been tense for a long time relaxed.

He twisted his body a little uncomfortably, avoiding the big hand, and lazily said: "I have something to say, you have seen it all, except for making tofu and selling tofu in the city."

Zhen Zhigong froze for a moment, a strange expression appeared on his face.No way, Dou Jiafu rubbed against his arms a few times just now, and he actually... reacted.Could it be that he has been abstinent for a long time, so he can't bear to be teased, even if he is holding a man, he is still a man who he ridiculed as "Dong Shi" because of his ugly appearance?

His scalp went numb, and he moved back without a trace, putting a little distance between him and Dou Jiafu, and then said: "I know these things, but what about the others? For example, this is Zhangjia Village, but your surname is Dou, It should be an outsider. What's so good about this ghost place, why would you move here alone?"

Dou Jiafu didn't notice Zhen Zhigong's abnormality, maybe it was because this person's tone tonight was really soft and gentle, maybe it was because he finally had the desire to confide after being alone for a long time, or maybe it was because he had suffered too much grievance. He wanted to vent, so he was not in a hurry, and replied in a natural tone: "It's good to have a place to stay, how can I dislike it. I used to live in Yongping County with my parents. I was gone, and I couldn't find any relatives to turn to, so I came to Zhangjia Village alone."

Dou Jiafu's family of three were originally from Yongping County. There was a small tofu workshop at home, and there was a small shop facing the street. They made a living selling soy products such as bean curd, soy milk and tofu.The family gets up early and works in the dark every day. Although the life is a little hard, they live a happy and comfortable life.

However, the weather was unpredictable. In the winter of the previous year, Dou Jiafu's mother had an occasional cold, but he didn't take it seriously, so it got worse and worse. In the end, he spent a lot of money to hire a doctor and used good medicine, but it couldn't be cured.His father, Dou Kailiang, blamed himself for the pain and collapsed immediately, and his energy was not as good as before.

One day Dou Kailiang bought two baskets of soybeans from the market and was walking back with a load. Because he was in a daze, he accidentally bumped into a street ruffian named Lai San.Lai San was only slightly rubbed against the edge of the basket. He was completely fine, but insisted that he had suffered internal injuries. He not only called a few accomplices to beat Dou Kailiang on the spot, but also blackmailed him on the grounds of getting medical treatment for the injury. blackmail.

Dou Kailiang was an honest person, and his wife passed away and beat his wife. When encountering this kind of thing, he dared not report it to the officials, nor was he able to entangle with the gangsters. .

Dou Jiafu is quick-witted, although he didn't go to any serious school, but his calculations are pretty good, he usually stays at home looking after the shop, suddenly seeing his father come back with a bruised nose and a swollen face being escorted back by some aggressive gangsters, he immediately felt something bad.After asking what happened, he was so angry that he vomited blood. He was about to rush up to fight Lai San, but was held back by Dou Kailiang.

The Dou family has only one seedling, Dou Jiafu, and the death of his wife is enough to make people sad. Dou Kailiang doesn't want anything to happen to his only son, so no matter what, Dou Jiafu is not allowed to come forward, and he insists on treating his wife's illness and taking care of the rest of the funeral. The two pieces of silver that came later were all taken out and compensated to Lai San.Dou Kailiang thought, this time it is only a matter of giving up money to avoid disaster, as long as his son is safe and sound, the rest can be done slowly.

Lai San and his gang saw that his house was really shabby, and there was nothing they could do to blackmail them. Although Dou Jiafu was thin and small, and was dragged by his father, the hatred that shot out from his blood-red eyes His gaze was a bit creepy, so he said a few harsh words fiercely, and then walked away with the money.

After Dou Kailiang lost his wife, he was hit again, and he was injured again. He suddenly aged more than ten years, and he has been lingering and ill ever since.Dou Jiafu served soup and medicine to take care of his father every day, and had to do all the work by himself. He was so busy all day long that he didn't even have time to sleep.

Originally, although his family was poor, Dou Jiafu was also spoiled by his parents, and he seldom did heavy work. Since then, he has been burdened with heavy burdens and experienced the sufferings of the world.

Even so, Dou Kailiang passed away less than half a year later, and before he died, he told Dou Jiafu not to seek revenge from Lai San, and those local ruffians were not something they could afford to provoke.Dou Jiafu had no choice but to agree. In fact, even if he refused, there was nothing he could do. Lai San's group of gangsters didn't know what happened, and suddenly disappeared on the ground in Yongping County. Dou Jiafu couldn't find anyone if he wanted to take revenge.

The family property was emptied by Lai San and his gang. Dou Jiafu is a dutiful son. In order to raise money for a decent funeral for his father, he not only sold the family house, but also transferred out the shop facing the street, leaving only A set of tofu-making utensils handed down in the family.

After finishing the burial and burying his parents together, Dou Jiafu packed his tofu-making household items into the car and left Yongping County alone.The price of goods in the city is high, and he can't afford to rent a house, let alone buy a house, so he can only go out of the city to find another way of life.

After making a big circle in the outskirts of the city, he came to Zhangjia Village, met Zhang Dazhuang by chance, and got his inadvertent advice, so he settled down in a dilapidated and abandoned earthen house at the edge of the village.From then on, I lived alone, and I got up at five o'clock every day to make tofu, and then walked ten miles into the city to sell it in exchange for a little rice, flour, oil and grain.

Recalling the past, Dou Jiafu felt uncomfortable, his voice became low and hoarse, Zhen Zhigong's heart also felt very uncomfortable.He had just experienced the sadness of his grandfather's death before he left home to travel, so he can empathize with Dou Jiafu's sadness.

He couldn't help tightening his arms, and took Dou Jiafu back into his arms, and unconsciously rubbed his chin gently on top of his head.
