The next day, it was gray and bright. Many people did not get up.
Little Bell's mother gently got up from the brick bed. Seeing that Little Bell was still asleep, she put on an apron and quietly went out.
She looked around in panic and quickened her pace.
He walked to the trash can outside and stopped.
A moment later,
She walked to a hidden crack in a rock not far away and took out a smooth stick.
He actually started to flip the trash can with a stick.
After a while,
Her eyes lit up when she saw a postmark, and her face became happy.
Very quickly, in a hurry, and in a hurry.
Her skillful hands ignored the mess in the trash can. She carefully picked up one letter after another and placed it in front of her apron.
She only went back quietly when there were no more similar envelopes in the trash can.
When she went back in,
There was a small hole in the corner of the paper window, revealing a large black eye. It was blinking as it watched her mother walk in in a panic.
Xue Lin quietly pushed the door open and entered. After finding that Little Bell was fine, her expression relaxed.
She carefully placed the apron on the other side and began to take the fire tongs to the small stove.
There was an aluminum teapot on the small stove, and the spout was still steaming.
After opening the teapot, she took out a piece of burnt honeycomb briquet with a pair of fire tongs and replaced it with a new one.
Then,
She poured the hot water from the teapot into another aluminum pot and placed it on the sandwich panel.
He took out one and a half steamed buns from the cupboard, placed them on the sandwich board, and covered the lid.
He sat next to the stove and watched in a daze. Sometimes, he covered Little Bell with a blanket, and sometimes, he looked to see if there was a fire in the stove.
“gie~giegie”
The crow of a rooster sounded.
Little Bell opened her eyes sulkily.
"Mommy!"
Xue Lin took out some clothes from the stool and handed them to Little Bell.
Just as she was about to help Little Bell put on her clothes, Little Bell very sensibly lifted the blanket.
She reached out her small hand and took the cotton-padded jacket that had been sewn countless times. There were five or six patches on it.
"Mom, I'll do it myself!"
Xue Lin was a bit stunned. She nodded and handed it to Little Bell.
Just like that, she watched Little Bell put on her clothes seriously. Little Bell looked a little clumsy when she put on her clothes. She hurriedly helped Little Bell put on her sleeves and button them up.
"Alright! Mommy!"
"I want to wear my own clothes in the future!"
Xue Lin just smiled and handed a steamed bun to Little Bell. She took out the other half of the steamed bun and poured the hot water into the washbasin.
She tested the temperature of the water with her hand and placed the handkerchief into the basin.
Just as she was wringing her face towel, she felt a warm breath by her ear.
"Mommy! You eat, I'm not hungry today!"
Little Bell handed the steamed bun to the side of Xue Lin's face.
Xue Lin shook her head and pointed to the other side of the stove, indicating that she was not hungry.
"Mom, you eat!"
Little Bell decisively shook her head and didn't retract her hand.
However,
Xue Lin picked up the fire tongs and looked at Little Bell with a warm and angry expression. She pointed at Little Bell's body as if she was telling Little Bell that she was growing and if she didn't eat, she would hit her.
"Alright then! Alright then! Can't I eat it?"
"Mom, don't be angry!"
After Little Bell noticed Xue Lin's anger, she started to eat the steamed bun with all her might.
Xue Lin's face softened after seeing it.
After Little Bell finished eating, she handed the wrung handkerchief to Little Bell and signaled with her eyes.
Little Bell took it with both hands and wiped her face.
However, it seemed that it was not wiped clean.
Xue Lin sighed and shook her head. She wiped Little Bell again.
"Hehe! Alright, I'm alright! It's clean!"
"Mommy, it hurts!"
After washing up, the sky became much brighter.
There were already voices outside, and they were starting to ring out one after another.
Little Bell was carrying a small canvas bag and wearing a red scarf.
"Mommy! I'm going to school!"
"Bye, Mommy!"
Little Bell waved her arms and said to her mother Xue Lin.
Xue Lin had been smiling at the door as she watched Little Bell hop out of the courtyard house.
......
At this moment,
"Xue Lin, someone complained that the vegetables weren't washed properly. You have to be careful in the future!”He Yuzhu reminded.
Xue Lin came back to her senses and nodded humbly.
"Silly Zhu, Xue Lin washed the vegetables very well. Don't look for trouble. I think you did it on purpose! Xue Lin, don't worry about him." Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and looked at He Yuzhu with dissatisfaction.
"Xu Damao, it's none of your business. Are you looking for a beating? Are you itching for it?" He Yuzhu raised his fist, ready to fight.
Xue Lin saw this and quickly walked to the middle. She waved her hands at both sides, indicating that she should not be angry.
"Tsk! Who was afraid of who? Xue Lin, come and sit on the bicycle behind me. I'll take you there."”Damao Xu no longer paid attention to this idiot. He warmly invited Xue Lin and patted his back seat.
Xue Lin shook her head and returned to her room.
"Look, your warm face is stuck to a cold buttocks! Virtuous!"
"A dog can't change its ways!"
He Yuzhu hummed a tune after he finished speaking. He put his hands in his pockets and swaggered past Xu Damao.
Xu Damao glared at him,"Silly Zhu, just you wait!" Humph!"
He said in a low voice. After looking at Xue Lin's house, he rode his bicycle out of the courtyard.
After Xue Lin returned to her room, she carefully took out the letter from her apron and dried it on the stove. When she saw the time on the old alarm clock, she turned the button behind it.
Then, he quickly placed the pieces of paper under the box.
After putting on her blue work clothes and apron, she hurriedly closed the door and jogged out.
......
Time flew by.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Lin had been waiting for Little Bell at the gate of the courtyard after work. She rubbed her hands back and forth with worry in her eyes.
She would wave her hand and ask if anyone had seen Little Bell.
"Why isn't Little Bell back after school?”Third Uncle asked curiously.
Xue Lin nodded.
Suddenly,
"Not good, Little Bell and the stick are fighting!”
"Mother, hurry up and take a look!”
The second aunt said loudly from the other side of the alley.
"What is it? Is there anything wrong with the stick? Are you hurt?" Jia Zhangshi, the grandmother of the great joke, happened to come out of the door and asked hurriedly after hearing it.
"Aiyo, the two of them are fighting fiercely. I can't even pull them apart!”The second aunt pouted and shook her head as she described.
