2.卖身(1 / 2)

月待圆时 怀愫 0 字 2022-01-11

    喜子躺在床上,秋娘在院门口晒蘑菇竹笋,石桂上山去挖,装上一篓才能换个十个大子儿,一季也攒不出看病的钱来。

    她见着石桂先是笑,等看见陈娘子,慌忙立起来,膝盖上的竹箩滚下去,笋干滚了一地,见着陈娘子还有甚个不明白的,可偏偏却窘迫的说不出叫人走的话。

    里头于婆子听见声儿出来,先看见滚了满地的笋干,才刚骂一句,抬头看见陈娘子,脸上立时换了颜色,她早想着把石桂卖掉,儿子不松口,就见天的跟儿媳妇吵嚷,又不是亲生的,原来就是捡来的,吃了这些年的饭,可不得还报些。

    每到她张嘴,秋娘就恨不得能捂了石桂的耳朵,怕她听了不是亲生的话就远了她们,只得告诉她这是阿奶不喜欢她,胡说的。

    石桂一向不说破,可于婆子原来是怎么折腾秋娘的,她俱都看在眼里,村里似她这样难缠的婆婆却也少有,家里哪个不干活,只有她见天儿的翘了脚不动,哪个女人不下地,她却连带孩子都不沾手,不独是石桂,就是喜子,眼看着石桂能带孩子,也都扔给石桂带,闲着在家晒日头。

    于婆子自来不给石桂好脸,看她吃饭直瞪眼,捞上口干的,她就要敲筷子,这会儿却笑得眼睛都眯缝起来,伸手就要捏石桂的胳臂:“她看着瘦,可有力气呢。”

    秋娘抖了嘴唇,这一季的稻种不买来,地就要荒上半年,到了秋天又要收租,家里连牛都卖了,羊也没养成,这几天丈夫还非下地,先把地犁起来,累得倒在地里,叫人抬回来,一裤子都是血。

    她看看女儿,再看看陈娘子,抖着嘴唇就是说不出个“不”字儿来,石桂转身进房,喜子躺在床上,见着她细细叫一声姐姐,石桂摸出糖来,送到他嘴边,喜子眼睛亮晶晶的,张开嘴,伸了舌头舔一下,砸吧着嘴巴,心里惦记着要吃石桂糖,没旱的时候答应他的,他一直记到现在。

    陈娘子一走,屋里摔瓦喝骂,男人吼了一声,跟着又没了声息,于婆子哭天嚎地,还是那些车辘轳话,甚个寡妇人家养大了儿子不容易,恨不得割肉喂了他,这会儿竟想饿死老娘。

    喜子一双眼晴盯住石桂,小手握了她的手指头,把石桂拉过来睡在他身边,石桂拍着喜子哄他睡,吃了糖,他梦里都是甜的。

    夜里就跟过节似的,秋娘把挖来的笋子片的薄薄的,三文钱换了一块老豆腐,烧过蝗虫的池塘那一层灰,倒养了许多肥泥鳅,拿竹笋换了两条来,切成段烧汤,烙了几张饼,把给石头爹补身子的鸡蛋都拿了出来,香喷喷几大碗全端到石桂面前。

    于婆子闻见香在外头跳脚,可她这会却不敢吵,隔了窗子咽唾沫,背着儿子说了百来句媳妇不孝顺,石桂立起来“啪”的一声关上窗户,于婆子在外头唬了一跳。

    石桂拿着勺子一口口喂喜子喝汤,原来白胖胖,如今瘦得豆芽菜一样,成了个大头娃娃,这会儿抱着汤碗喝个不住,肚皮吃得圆圆的,两腿一伸躺到床上:“要是明天也有,就好了。”

    第二天一大早陈娘子就来接石桂,秋娘眼睛肿成核桃样,石桂反过来劝了她:“娘回去罢,过年的时候我给喜子捎吃的来。”

    屋里两个躺着,只有秋娘送她,抱了她只是垂泪,从头顶一直摩挲到手掌心,看了一夜抱了一夜,可怎么也没抱够,不是她亲生的爹娘,可这么待她也不差什么了。

    家里有了钱就想着给她裁花衣裳做裙子,这么丁点大的姑娘家,村里谁也没能戴上银丁香的,年景好的时候也给她买了来穿耳朵眼,更不必说还有个于婆子见天嚼舌,过得虽苦,日子却是顺心的,越是这样,她越是不能叫这个家就这么散了。

    秋娘跟在油车后头走了长长一段路,出了村口,过了石桥,石桂就这么掀了车后的帘子看着,秋娘一路走一路哭,她咬着唇儿不落泪,手指头攥得紧紧的,一定还要回家来。

    天还没亮透,四处都是雾,秋娘的影子越来越淡,到再也瞧不见了,剩下满眼凄凄茫茫的野蒿草,她才转回去坐正了身子,一车的女孩儿,彼此看一看,俱都不出声。

    青布油车里挤挤挨挨着坐了七八个,一个个相互挨着,头碰了头脚对着脚,小道上坑坑洼洼,长草里埋着乱石,不时就颠簸一下,车身跳高了再落下,到了这儿就是出了村子了,石桂最后看了一眼村口,记着那棵古槐树,把兰溪村三个字刻在心上,

    驴车慢慢悠悠往前行,不知是谁先没忍住,低声啜泣起来,先时声儿小,车外头人也不当回事,等这一圈女孩都忍不住哭了,外头一掀帘儿,陈娘子眼儿往她们身上一溜:“哭甚,这是带了你们去过好日子了。”

    石桂把小包裹放在膝盖上,打里头摸出个些糖块来,就是白大娘给的那角,秋娘全要给她带着,她把糖拍碎了,留了一大半给喜子。

    糖粒黑乎乎的,可石桂一拿出来,这些姑娘们便都收了声,腮上还挂了泪,一抽一抽的看着她。

    她笑一笑,把手摊出来:“吃罢。”
