Chapter 18: CH 18

He Xiaoyun took out the shoes and gestured at her feet. It was indeed her size. She didn't know how Wei Jianwei knew. He, a big man, ran to buy women's leather shoes, that scene must be very eye-catching.

In terms of current aesthetics, this pair of shoes is very fashionable, with glossy leather and a little high heels. She only saw one or two people wearing it when she went back to the county town. She had never seen it in the countryside. The price was high. If she wears these shoes to go for a walk or stop by outside, it won't take a day before the whole brigade to talk about it.

He can just give me a pair of black cloth shoes, which are more practical than these leather shoes. Thinking that way, she still put the shoes in the cabinet very carefully, and the book on the bedside.

Wang Chunhua was making jelly in the kitchen. When He Xiaoyun came in, the black jelly was already formed, cut, and placed in a large bowl.

"Mom, why did you think of making jelly?"

"Didn't your Aunt Zhang make it a few days ago? Xiaoyuan ate it at her house and kept talking about it after he came back. He said that there was jelly there, and asked me for it."

He Xiaoyun smiled, "Xiaoyuan's a gluttonous ghost, he can play as long as he eats, so don't be coaxed by him, Mom."

Wang Chunhua spoke for her little grandson: "Which children don't like to eat? Lets Xiaohang be chubby."

She dipped the jelly in the water, waited for it to become cold, then mixed it with sugar, and had a bowl on a hot day. Nothing was more refreshing. He Xiaoyun shook her head helplessly when she heard the grandma's full of love for her grandson. Jelly is not a rare thing, but sugar is valuable. You have to buy sugar with a ticket. Others may not be willing to buy it once a year.

"Jianwei is back, in the bamboo forest behind." Wang Chunhua said.

He Xiaoyun nodded her head. She didn't intend to move but think about the gifts that the other party ran all the way to the county seat and brought her back. She felt that she couldn't be too stingy. He expressed his sincerity, so she would be generous and forgive him. Thinking about this, she wandered out on the back door.

There is a bamboo forest in the backyard. Wei Jianwei cut the bamboo to make bamboo bed legs two days ago. The bamboo branches are still in the forest. Now he uses them to make brooms.

He Xiaoyun walked over, "You're back."

This was the first time she took the initiative to speak to him after the unilateral cold war yesterday. Wei Jianwei raised his head to look at her, nodded, and continued his hand movements a few more times. He probably felt that she was finally willing to talk to him and could not appear too cold, so he added: "Wake up?"

He Xiaoyun couldn't help but laugh at this false social etiquette, and squatted down in front of him, happily: "Do you think we two are playing officialdom?"

Wei Jianwei also hooked his mouth.

He Xiaoyun said, "Thank you for your gift. I like it very much, but don't buy it in the future. I stay at home and can't put on those shoes."

"Go out and wear it."

"Where can I go? Either to the mountain or to the river, I can't bear to wear it out."

Wei Jianwei frowned slightly, "They say that young girls like it."

He Xiaoyun estimated that the 'they' he was talking about were the shop assistants, and said: “They have to say so to be able to sell the goods. I don’t like it either. I just can’t put them on. It’s a pity to put them on.”

Wei Jianwei nodded again. There was a sudden awkwardness, now the two of them have stayed together, but the atmosphere seems to be more natural and harmonious than before.

He Xiaoyun helped him to tear off the bamboo leaves from the bamboo branches. The two worked together, and their speed was much faster. In the meantime, they created a bamboo elephant. She ran home and took a thread and tied it to the bamboo elephant’s nose. 

When Wei Yuanhang woke up, he was so happy when he saw that there was jelly to eat and bamboo elephants to play with.

"I'll show it to Yanyan!" He ate the jelly and couldn't wait to pull the string out to show off.

Xiaoyun shook her head, "When this kid is big, he will definitely marry a wife and forget about his mother."

Feng Qiuyue chuckled when she heard it, "I just heard Mom say this today."

"What's wrong with mom?" He Xiaoyun was curious.

"It's Jianwei," Feng Qiuyue looked at her teasingly, "At noon, not long after you went back to the room, Jianwei came back with a box. Mom opened it and looked at the shoes. At a glance, I could tell that they were worn by young people. After Jianwei returned to the house, mother talked to me, saying that her son was so old, but he had never bought shoes for her but knew that he should buy shoes for his wife, she became a forgotten mother!"

He Xiaoyun didn't expect to be embarrassed by Feng Qiuyue's teasings because of those shoes. Feng Qiuyue said again: "But mom just jokingly said that, don't take it to heart. She also told me that Jianwei was not at home all year, and you took care of the child by yourself and had to work. Since it's rare for him to come back, he should be considerate."

She said this to console her but when He Xiaoyun listened, not knowing why, she felt embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "The shoes he bought can't be worn at all."

"It's not surprising that you can't wear it. Do you know that when Jianguo and I first met, he gave me a hair tie? Guess what color is it?"

"Red?"

"It would be great if it was red, he gave me a green one!"

He Xiaoyun laughed, "Then did you wear it?"

"No, when he saw that I didn’t wear it, he was ashamed to ask why I don't wear it at all. So these men who don't know to buy things, we can open one eye and close the other." Feng Qiuyue smiled rather helplessly.

After Wei Jianwei finished making the broom, he saw that there were a lot of bamboos left, so he re-arranged a fence for the chicken coop for the original one was old. He Xiaoyun cooked with Wang Chunhua over the fire, and the dinner was ready and went to call people back for dinner. Wei Yuanhang followed He Xioayun around.

"Mom, does the bamboo elephant eat bamboo?"

"They eat bamboo shoots a lot. After being eaten, bamboo shoots can't grow into bamboo anymore."

The child said: "Then they are bad bugs!"

"It's a pest." He Xiaoyun smiled and corrected.

Wei Yuanhang nodded and asked, "Why are they called Bamboo Elephants?"

He Xiaoyun thought for a while and said: "It should be because they are like elephants, with long noses."

The child nodded again, seeming to understand, and then asked again in the next second: "What is an elephant?"

"It's a very big animal with a very long nose." He Xiaoyun replied casually, fearing that he would still have questions, she hurriedly said: "Here, let's see if Dad is ready, we're going to eat. "

The child's attention was diverted, and he jumped and ran to his father, "Dad, we are going to eat!"

Wei Jianwei just finished and packing up his tools, he stood up, "Okay."

He Xiaoyun walked over and said, "Let's go quickly. When the sun goes down, there will be more mosquitoes in the bamboo forest."

"Yeah." Wei Jianwei nodded, glanced at her, and then turned back his head.

"What are you looking at?" He Xiaoyun joked, "Is there a mosquito on my face?"

Wei Jianwei nodded, "There are mosquitoes." He stretched out his hand. He Xiaoyun subconsciously wanted to step back but stopped, she was a little uncomfortable: "Where? I'll do it myself."

One of Wei Jianwei's fingers had already landed on her cheek, and he wiped it down, then showed her the finger, "It's a big mosquito."

She fixed her eyes to see that there was no mosquito, it was clearly a small piece of firewood dust, which should have floated on her face when it was just burned. When he touched it like this, she must have a black mark on her face now.

She looked at the smile in Wei Jianwei's eyes, raised her fist, and attacked him, "I will give you a punch!"

Wei Yuanhang heard it and remembered the Journey to the West that his mother had read to him before, and quickly said: "Mum and dad are wrong. It's, 'Hey, take my stick!'"
