Through the cultivation of tang pear leaves rouge color

Because he didn't see Dong Wu's parents, nor his brother, even if he had dinner, he didn't see Granny Li, who he met in the afternoon, having dinner with him. Song Li was still very curious about this.

Song Li finished a small bowl of rice, and Dong Wu scooped up another spoonful of soup for him. Song Li knew it was unnecessary to be polite with him, so he put the bowl away after drinking the soup. The salted duck egg was also eaten, and then began to clear the table.

At this time, the sky has darkened, but things can still be seen clearly.

Dong Wu cleared the table very quickly, Song Li watched his movements, thought for a while and asked, "Dong Wu~, where are the rest of your family?"

Dong Wu paused as he was about to leave with the bowl in hand, he smiled at Song Li, and said, "My parents passed away early, and there are no brothers or sisters in the family, only one uncle lives in the county town, and at this time there are only you and me in the family. People, from now on, you and I will depend on each other to live..."

Dong Wu turned his back to the window, so that his face was hidden in the shadows, Song Li looked at him, he knew he was smiling, but that smile only made him feel the silence and desolation of this person, even the sound of his voice The time is also lighter and lower than that in the daytime, so it shows the feeling of silence even more.

At this time, Song Li still didn't know his background, that he was a strong person who had been living alone since he was 15 years old and was striving for a bright future for himself. One day, he had a good impression of this person.

It is true that sincerity can always move people, Song Li can't ignore the simple sincerity of others.

Song Li was still a little unaccustomed to the other party's words of "depending on each other to live together". He raised his head slightly, looked at the tall man standing there, and said, "I have no one to rely on when I get here, and I will do things wrong in the future. You have to be more tolerant."

Dong Wu heard him say this, and to be honest, he was a little excited. The last gleam outside the window was reflected on Song Li's face, which was obviously still an immature boy's face, but with the silence and tranquility of seeing the world, Dong Wu even He wanted to go up to hug him and nibble on him, but at this moment, he was holding the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, so he really couldn't do what he expected. Moreover, he probably came up to give him a hug. The lady will regard him as an enemy again.

Dong Wu carried the bowls into the kitchen, then came to clean up the table and the bedroom before going into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Song Li could hear the faint sound of dogs barking outside, the sounds of other animals, and even the sound of a woman yelling at a child. The bustle was isolated from the window, but he sat on the head of the bed, enjoying the tranquility. Suddenly he didn't feel alone.

In this world, in this darkness, there is also an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Song Li was closing his eyes and using his ears to feel the sounds of the world. Dong Wu came into the bedroom with an oil lamp. He put the lamp on the table and said, "I'm afraid you are afraid of the dark. Let me light a lamp for you. If you are tired Now, wash up and go to sleep!"

Song Li had slept enough, and couldn't fall asleep because of food accumulation just now, he opened his eyes and looked at Dong Wu who put down the lamp, and said, "I just ate and couldn't fall asleep, let me talk to you!"

Dong Wu seemed very happy that he wanted to talk to him, he said, "Come after I close the door."

Song Li heard voices from the yard outside, followed by the creak of the gate closing.

Dong Wu came in with a basket that hadn't been weaved yet, and then came in with the bamboo strips that had been picked. He sat in the middle of the bedroom weaving the bamboo strips, and asked Song Li, "Do you want some water?"

Song Li shook his head and said, "I drank too much fish soup, I can't drink water."

Dong Wudao, "You shouldn't have been asked to drink so much fish soup just now. After a while, you will have to drink a bowl of medicine. I don't know if you still have stomach for it."

Song Li felt uncomfortable when he thought of the smell of the medicine, and he didn't answer Dong Wu's words.

Song Li wanted to know which era he was in now, but he couldn't ask directly, so he said, "Tell me about your village."

Although the oil lamp was lit, when it was dark outside, the room was still not bright, and only the surrounding area of ​​the oil lamp had acceptable visibility.

Dong Wu's hands were very nimble, and Song Li saw that the bamboo strip was in his hand, and it was quickly woven into a part of the basket. Dong Wu's face was clearly bright and dark in the light of the oil lamp, giving his face a kind of contrast that was not there during the day. Perseverance.

He looked at Song Li before he said, "There is nothing to say in our village. There are nearly a hundred families, most of whom are surnamed Li. My family moved from the side of the water. Now I am the only one in the village surnamed Dong. But the neighbors It’s pretty harmonious, and nothing happened. Granny Li lives not far from us. She is a widow with only one daughter. A few years ago, the daughter got married, and the uncle died not long after she got married. The parents-in-law over there said she was Kefu I drove her back home, and now I live with her mother. After all, life is difficult for two women, so I asked Granny Li to come to my house from time to time as a helper, and I gave her some money every month, which was also considered as repayment for her previous care. My kindness."

Song Li said softly "Oh", and asked again when he thought of something, "Don't others gossip about you and Granny Li and her daughter?"

Thinking back to ancient times, a woman who was driven home by her parents-in-law probably attracted gossips, and Dong Wu's helping their family would also cause gossips!

Dong Wu stopped what he was doing and stared at Song Li. Song Li felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and said in a weak voice, "What's wrong?"

Dong Wu got up and took a thick ruler from the outside room and came in. Song Li was startled and didn't know what he was going to do, thinking what he said wrong, would he hit someone?

But in fact, Dong Wu didn't beat people with this ruler.

He sat down on the stool again, and beat the basket with the ruler to make the bamboo strips on the basket finer and firmer. He replied to Song Li, "Miss, you don't have to worry about this problem. Chunying and I have known each other since we were young. I treat her like an older sister. After she came back from her husband’s house, she seldom went out to meet people. She always did some work at home. She lived in the city. The shoes made of embroidered embroidery were liked by the city people, so she did these. Entrust her to sell it in the county town, living like this, I have almost no contact with her, so you don't have to think about it."

Song Li really wanted to refute Dong Wu and tell him not to call him his wife, but Dong Wu was more focused on weaving bamboo strips, so it was too late for Song Li to refute.

When the two talked like this, apart from Song Li's voice of weaving bamboo strips, there was only the faint sound of the wind outside the window. In Song Li's view, such a scene was very much like the daily life of an old couple.

Dong Wu remembered the time, stood up after a while, brought out a bowl of warm soup medicine from the kitchen, brought it in front of Song Li, and said, "You drink the medicine, and eat a piece of cake."

Song Li felt that Dong Wu treated him so awkwardly, but he couldn't resist, so he took the medicine in his hand and drank it in one gulp. The taste of the medicine was really unpleasant, so Dong Wu hurriedly handed him the water to rinse his mouth. I brought him a honey cake and let him eat the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Song Li began to feel drowsy, and he only thought about the problem of sleeping at this moment. Could it be that Dong Wu wanted to sleep in the same bed with him?

This is really a hard thing to accept.

Seeing that Song Li was getting tired, Dong Wu went to fetch hot water, twisted a handkerchief to wipe his face and hands, and brought water for him to rinse his mouth.

Song Li felt very embarrassed and embarrassed, and when Dong Wu put the washbasin back, he asked, "Dong Wu, um, where do you sleep at night?"

Song Li thought that Dong Wu's family only had this one bed, and the two of them could only sleep together, how hard it would be for him to accept.But it's not justified not to let the host's family sleep in the bed.

Dong Wu was stunned for a moment before saying, "Of course it's on the bed. But don't worry, lady, I promised you that if you don't want to, I won't force you."

Song Li wailed in his heart, really speechless.
