Waiting for you with 18 eggs
The doctor said that I was malnourished and there were signs of it slipping from mild to severe. When I got up to leave, he said: "Eat some local eggs. Remember, they are local eggs."
So on the way home, I bought a hen, which was all white and had rich feathers. Light-boned, without any of the stupidity that characterizes other hens. I feed her good food and drink and wait for her to lay eggs. After waiting for three years, she still didn't lay an egg.
I stubbornly waited for "Er Gei" to lay an egg. "Er Gei" was the snow-white hen that refused to lay eggs. "Er Gei" was the Chinese homophone of "Egg". I told her clearly by name: "I raise you to eat the eggs you lay."
But I don't know if Er Gei is pretending to be confused or really doesn't understand, she just refuses to lay them. an egg. I urged her again and again: "When are you going to lay eggs?" The second child tilted her head and replied: "I won't lay eggs at any time." After that, she left without looking back and went to the yard to catch gray-brown eggs. Little grasshopper.
I'm not angry with her at all, never. For three years, she was the only one who lived with me in this suburban bungalow. We ate together, walked together, tasted loneliness together, and told each other's thoughts.
On the second night when she is in a good mood, she must sleep on the sofa; if she is in a bad mood, she must sleep on the bed. Even if I refused fiercely and threw her down again and again, she would jump back on the bed again and again, shamelessly squatting at my feet, inserting her head into the wings, and falling asleep after a while. I took her back to the sofa. As soon as she woke up in the morning, I exclaimed: "Er Gei, why did you go back to sleep on the sofa? You abandoned me like this in the middle of the night. I'm very hurt." Er Gei blushed and lowered his head, not knowing why he was like this. .
But my malnutrition seemed to be getting worse. In the mirror, I looked pale and often felt dizzy. I told Erjii that I needed her eggs to supplement nutrition. But she refused. The reason for not agreeing was that she was not interested in laying eggs.
I said: "Ergui, you are a selfish hen. However, you are so cute."
Ergui said: "You are also a selfish person. But you are also selfish. "You are so selfish that you are not as cute as me. By the way, you are stubborn and annoying."
The two selfish animals have lived together for three years, relying on each other and having a deep relationship.
One day, after a walk, Ergui said: "I plan to fall in love."
I was a little jealous, but I still said, bless you, this is a good thing.
Another day, Er Gei told me that she was ready to lay eggs.
As soon as she said the word "lay eggs", my saliva dropped vertically. I said: "Okay, lay the eggs. Okay, okay, lay the eggs." Because there was too much saliva in my mouth, my words were almost slurred. Er Ge tilted his head and looked at me with cold eyes. I held her head in my hands, kissed her on the cheek, and said vaguely: "Second, you finally realized your conscience and repaid your kindness. I decided to fry the first egg you laid. Poached eggs." Er Ge tilted his head and still looked at me coldly. I continued: "Second, thank you, thank you. From now on, I can eat free-range eggs every day. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring."
When I said everything I wanted to say When all the excitement she wanted to express in her words was blurred, she spoke, her tone was very hard, like ice cream: "I want to lay eggs because I want to be a mother. You are not allowed to lay eggs. Take one away and you are not allowed to eat one.”
What Er Gei said made me furious: “What a joke! First, I didn’t raise you to hatch a nest of chicks. It’s very upsetting; secondly, I raise you just to eat the eggs you lay; thirdly, I am your master, you must listen to me.” He responded word for word: "First, I lay eggs because I want to be a mother; second, I will not lay eggs to satisfy your appetite; third, we are equal."
”
I was so angry that I couldn’t say anything. If I had known this, I should have raised a stupid hen in the first place. A hen that only lays eggs and obeys the owner’s orders. A hen like Ergui with a sharp tongue and a smart mind. The hen was really not suitable for domestic use. Then I said harshly: "You either don't lay eggs, or you lay eggs for me to eat." There is no other choice! "After throwing these words away angrily, I felt dizzy and lay down on the bed.
I fell asleep for some reason. When I woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day. I found that two She was curled up at her feet. She was telling me that she was in a bad mood.
I kicked her out of bed. She couldn't stand and screamed several times in panic. God, she said: “I decided to run away from home today and never come back. Unless you agree to give me the freedom to be a mother. "
"You are a threat! "I shouted.
"This is not a threat, this is you forcing me to the corner. "She also shouted very loudly.
I really regret that I spoiled her so much before. She spoiled her rotten. She didn't listen to me in anything and talked back even more than me. I said: "If you want to leave, just leave. Go away, you heartless fellow. ”
“Okay, Master. "The first time Er Gei called me master, my heart felt sour.
Er Gei walked out of the room, walked to the yard, and then walked out of the yard again, his snow-white figure gradually blurred. I rushed out: "Second, come back, I promise you! "
Er Gei ran back and said proudly: "Haha, I knew the result would be like this. "Her words made me a little uncomfortable. This is really a scheming hen. She knew that I couldn't let her go, and she took advantage of my feelings.
I sat on the threshold with a sullen face. Ergui said: "I will dance the little swan dance for you. "So she started dancing, with her short neck and short legs. She looked very funny. It was a pure little hen dance. I laughed wildly. The other two also laughed. So we made up. At night, I lay on the bed On the bed, she was lying on the sofa and told me about her bright future: “I want to lay 10 eggs, no, no, no, too few. Lay 20 eggs, no, no, no, too many, just 18, yes, just 18. I want to be the mother of 18 chicks. I took them for a walk in the yard and caught insects. Oh, it was so great and so happy. ”
She was immersed in the imaginary happiness and fell asleep soon.
The next day, she laid an egg in the grass nest in the yard. It was small, Round and pink eggshell. As soon as I saw it, my mouth watered. Although I restrained myself, the desire to eat it was like a river bursting with water.
I fried it into a golden poached egg. Because I ate it too quickly, it went into my stomach before I could taste it. When the second child came back from bathing in the sandpit outside the yard, I She was wiping an oil star on her lips. She was smart enough to know what happened in the first second.
"Bad guy, you ate it." "She shouted sharply.
I smiled apologetically: "I tried to restrain myself, but I didn't succeed. "
"You are a shameless person, a villain who doesn't mean what you say. ”
Originally, I still felt a little guilty, but Er Gei gave me the words “bad guy, shameless, villain” in just two sentences, and the guilt disappeared. .
I said: "I'll just eat it, what do you want?" "
Er Gei ignored my scoundrel look. She found the eggshell fragments and buried them in the soil. While doing all this, she had tears in her eyes. Her tears , which made my heart hurt. I knew that I had hurt her.
Er slept on the sofa at night. She slept on the sofa, not because she was in a good mood, but because she was in a good mood. Dislike of me.
I thought of the days when we were close and bickering, and felt lonely in my heart.
The next morning, Erjii proposed to leave home again. The request to leave.
And I took out an agreement:
Agreement
Party A: Two for you
Party B: Three for easy
After the agreement, both parties agreed to the following terms:
1. After the second egg is laid, it must be hidden in time. If the third egg is found, it will be given to the third person to eat; if it is not found, the third egg will be eaten. Can hatch into chicks. After 18 eggs are laid, Sanyi will provide two places to hatch the chicks without disturbing them.
2. No one is allowed to cheat, otherwise, they will be kicked out of the house.
Party A:
Party B:
Year, Month, Day
The second one stepped on it, and the third one is easy, that is I pressed my fingerprint and the agreement came into effect
Because of this agreement, Er Ge stayed with full hope. She believed she could hide the eggs.
I actually thought about the content of the agreement all night: There is just such a bungalow and a yard, where can the second wife hide the eggs? I can find her wherever she is hidden. Therefore, I don’t have to worry about being alone since my second brother ran away from home, nor do I have to worry about having no free-range eggs to enjoy.
As expected, it is too easy to find eggs.
On the first day, I found one in the wall hole in the yard, and I made it into sweet and sour tomato scrambled eggs.
The next day, I found one in the bookcase in the room, and I made it into tender and refreshing steamed eggs.
On the third day, I found one under the sofa and made it into fragrant green onion eggs.
On the fourth day, I found one under the rose tree in my yard, and I used it to bake a golden and tempting egg pancake.
......
When I eat eggs, I never do it in front of Ergui. Er Gei goes to the sandpit to bathe every afternoon. This seems to be a biological habit that she cannot change. While she was bathing, I ate eggs. When she came back, I read a book and observed her while reading. As soon as she came back, she went straight to the place where the eggs were hidden. After a while, she would rush to me quickly, her face red, making the surrounding feathers red. She said, "Did you find it? Eat it?" I nodded, and she left silently with tears in her eyes. The steps were very slow, as if there was no strength at all.
Looking at her back, I often feel distressed, throbbing in pain. Especially when I saw her packing up the eggshells and burying them in the soil bit by bit, my heart ached so much that I shed tears.
However, I couldn’t help but want to eat eggs, and I wanted to eat Ergai’s eggs.
We barely speak to each other anymore. She sleeps on the sofa every day, and sleeping on the sofa does not mean she is in a good mood.
One day, I suddenly couldn’t find the eggs.
It was not found the next day.
I couldn’t find it on the third day.
For 10 days in a row, I didn’t see any small round pink eggs. I almost turned the room and yard upside down, but couldn't find it.
By the way, I must explain something. I have to go to the company every morning, and it is during this time that I lay the eggs and hide them.
I plan to lay an ambush during work hours and spy on her. But I finally rejected this disgraceful idea. Faced with a hen, why should I use human intrigues to plot against each other?
Er is getting happier day by day, but I am depressed day by day because I can’t find eggs, and I get more and more dizzy.
Er Gei didn’t seem to care at all, with a cold look in his eyes and a proud smile: “Haha, I can’t find it.”
I fell into a deep loneliness , how come the feeling of dependence between the two of us has disappeared? Why is there more than harm?
Eighteen days later, Ergui said happily: "Let me tell you, I have finally reached 18 eggs. According to the provisions of the agreement, you have to provide me with a place to hatch the chicks."
I said dejectedly: "Of course!"
Now I just want to know where the 18 eggs are hidden? Er Gei took me to the bedside. My bed has a backrest, and there is a mezzanine in the backrest, which I never use. Er Ge gestured for me to open the mezzanine of the backrest.
18 eggs neatly stacked.
"Well, the most dangerous place is the safest place." Er Ge tilted his head and looked at me and said, with amusement and pride hidden in his eyes.
My IQ is actually lower than that of a hen. I feel humiliated, which is not a good feeling.
I put the 18 eggs in the basket and walked to the yard, and Er followed happily. She kept asking: "Are you going to put my nest in the yard?" "Can you?" Can’t you add some cotton wool?” “Can you add some rose petals?”
“No, I want to boil them all into tea eggs.” say.
Er Gei jumped up excited by my words.
"Are you a liar? Is there a more shameless liar in the world than you?"
I just wanted to make a joke with her and vent my inner dissatisfaction. But her words instantly angered me. I decided to boil them into tea eggs. No matter if she ran away from home or not.
I just want to boil them into tea eggs.
I took the coal stove to the yard and lit a fire. He took an aluminum pot, poured water into it, and sprinkled tea leaves. When I was about to put the eggs in, Er jumped in.
"Boil me, you liar." She stood in the pot with her neck stiffened, and the water in the pot was up to her chest.
"You want to threaten me again, I won't let you do this."
"Whatever."
I tested it in the water with my hands Once, warmly.
"Are you really planning not to come out?"
"If you want to boil my 18 children into tea eggs, I won't come out."
The water in the pot began to heat up little by little under the passionate kiss of the tongue of fire.
I shouted: "Jump out quickly, you will get burned."
"My heart has been burned by you." She looked at me and said.
"Please come out, the water will be hot soon. It will hurt."
"I am already in pain, and my heart is already in pain." Er Ge explain.
A wisp of heat floated on the water.
Er Gei’s brows began to frown.
"Er Gei, please, come out."
Er Gei didn't move at all.
The water at the bottom of the pot began to bubble tiny bubbles.
I picked her up and sent her to the hospital crying. She was burned, but luckily it wasn't too serious. After returning from the hospital, I applied medicine to her every day and took good care of her. But she never ignored me. Until one day, I said sincerely: "I have something to discuss with you."
She squinted her eyes and was too lazy to look at me: "Don't discuss anything with me." The injury on her leg recovered Very bad, unwilling to grow new skin.
"It's like this. I hope you can hatch 18 chicks for me. You can lead them for a walk in the yard and catch insects. I think our family is too lonely. Is that okay?"
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at me: "Really?"
"Yes." I looked at her with certainty, "But, you will never Don’t call me a liar.”
The second injury healed immediately, and the new skin grew strong, leaving no small scars. I was busy making him a comfortable and beautiful nest, which was filled with newly picked cotton and dried rose petals.
On the nights when she wasn’t officially hatching chicks, she slept in my bed. Just because she's sleeping in bed doesn't mean she's in a bad mood. I still like to carry her to the sofa when she is sleeping. When I woke up in the morning, I exaggeratedly blamed her: "Ah, why did you abandon me in the middle of the night? I'm very hurt!" She lowered her head, blushed, and smiled sheepishly, not understanding what was going on.
On the day when the second child officially announced that he would start hatching chicks, I felt dizzy and fell on the bed. I called the doctor on the phone, and the doctor said: "You are already severely malnourished. You need to take a supplement. Eat some eggs. Remember, they are free-range eggs."
The first time the doctor came The next day, Er Ge ran away from home without saying hello.
A note was posted on the door of the courtyard: "I officially ran away from home. Please eat those 18 eggs. If you miss me, you must eat the eggs. Eat one a day for the best effect. This is The most authentic local eggs. Save two for me.”
I threw myself on the courtyard door and cried. I think of our quarrels, the days of intimacy, the hurts we hurt each other, and the funny way she danced the little swan dance...
I am waiting for the second child to come back.
Two, I will guard 18 eggs and wait for you to come back
