country bumpkin

The next morning, Sun Fei ate breakfast and went to school with Yun Ya.

She kept her head down and looked listless the whole way, barely saying a word. Yunya felt something was wrong; this wasn't the usual Sun Fei.

Yunya felt that something must have happened to her, which was why she was so downcast.

Yun Ya asked her what happened. Sun Fei hesitated and told Yun Ya about wetting the bed.

Yunya relaxed and comforted her, saying, "Oh dear, I thought it was something serious. It's just bedwetting, what's so embarrassing about it? Let me tell you, I actually wet the bed when I came back from the countryside! But you have to keep this a secret, just the two of us know."

Sun Fei stared at Yun Ya with her mouth agape, nodding repeatedly. Her curiosity piqued, she kept pressing Yun Ya for details.

Yun Ya told Sun Fei the details, and Sun Fei was even more shocked.

It turns out that this happened the winter when Yunya first came back. In the city, without her grandmother to accompany her to the toilet at night, she was afraid to even squat in the toilet.

The toilet was in the yard, it was too dark, and there were no lights or flashlights. She was very scared, so she kept holding it in until midnight when she couldn't hold it any longer and had to relieve herself inside the house.

She felt incredibly relieved after resolving the problem. But then she sat there, looking at the steaming lump in the blankets, lost in thought.

How could she possibly sleep like this? Yunya was nearly driven mad with worry. Unable to lie in bed, she squatted on the bed, shivering from the cold.

She wanted to wake her parents, but was afraid of being beaten. After thinking it over, she came up with a good idea.

So she got out of bed, put on her shoes, draped her cotton-padded coat over her shoulders, and hid in the desk drawer.

There was a tall writing desk in their room. It was two meters long and one and a half meters wide, with a table on top, drawers in the middle, and separate sections on the left and right sides below.

Below, starting from the left, is a cabinet with an empty middle section, and on the right are three drawers connected in a series of upper, middle, and lower sections.

Yunya hid in the cupboard on the left. The cupboard had a door, and she closed it after she went in.

She hid inside and waited for a while, but felt extremely cold, so she tried to wake her parents.

So Yunya started banging on the cupboard door with her palm.

"Bang...bang...bang...bang..."

Kong Xiujuan was awakened by a knocking sound on the doors and windows. She shook her grandson, Tao, who was beside her.

"Zitao, did you hear someone knocking on the door?" Kong Xiujuan asked.

Sun Zitao carefully discerned the source of the sound and said, "It sounds like it's coming from my daughter's room."

Kong Xiujuan said, "It's probably a mouse gnawing on the table. I'll go check it out."

As she spoke, she turned on the light, got up, put on her cotton-padded coat, and went to her daughters' bedroom.

When I went into the bedroom and turned on the light, I saw Yunya squatting in the closet, banging on the closet door.

Kong Xiujuan thought Yunya was having a sleep disorder, so she quickly called out to her, trying to wake her up. But when she looked down, she saw that Yunya was wide awake despite being cold.

She asked curiously, "What are you doing squatting here? Aren't you going to sleep?"

Yun Ya said timidly, "I'll tell you, but please don't hit me, or I won't tell you."

Kong Xiujuan said helplessly, "I promise I won't hit you, just tell me!"

Yunya crawled out of the closet, stood up, pointed to the bed, and said, "I couldn't hold it in anymore, so I pooped on the bed."

Kong Xiujuan nearly fainted from anger. She asked, "If you feel the urge to defecate, why don't you get out of bed and go outside?"

Yunya said timidly, "I'm afraid of the dark."

Kong Xiujuan then asked, "You can squat on the floor inside the house, why are you doing it on the bed?"

Yunya shivered and said, "I'm afraid of the cold, so I can only squat on the bed wrapped in a quilt."

Kong Xiujuan now believes that her second daughter must have had an underdeveloped brain due to premature birth.

She said, "You can't even get into bed now, isn't that even colder?"

Yun Ya thought about it and said, "That seems to make sense. If I knew I couldn't sleep, I might as well have squatted on the ground!"

Kong Xiujuan suppressed her temper and said, "Alright, it's still very late, go to sleep quickly, I'll go tidy up."

She woke Sun Limei up, gathered up the bed sheet, and threw it out the door with the poop inside, placing it in the yard.

Then he took an old notebook, crumpled it into a ball, unfolded it, and used it to wipe the plastic sheet on the mattress.

Fortunately, there was an old plastic sheet on the mattress, and under the plastic sheet was a boil that Sun Guoqiang had used when he was a child.

After wiping the plastic sheet clean, I tore it off and threw it into the yard. The boil itself was clean, the plastic sheet completely covering the dirt.

She only took a clean sheet and changed them. Then she let Yunya go back to bed to rest.

She was so tired that she quickly went back to sleep. After all that commotion, she was completely freezing.

Kong Xiujuan only felt alive again after lying in her warm bed.

Yunya was curious why her mother didn't hit her, and she drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Yunya went to school as usual. Kong Xiujuan didn't say anything or hit her. Yunya went to school without any explanation.

When Kong Xiujuan came home from school, she had already washed the bed sheets and plastic sheeting and hung them up to dry.

She only gave Yunya a brief instruction, telling her never to do that again. If she catches a cold, she'll need to get a shot soon.

Yunya felt there was no need to suffer from injections, and she wasn't afraid of them. She was used to getting injections often, so not being afraid of them didn't contradict the idea of ​​pain.

It still hurt a lot when the needle went in. She hissed reflexively and her buttocks twitched, as if her buttocks were also afraid of the needle and resisted.

Sun Fei listened to Yun Ya recount her embarrassing stories, feeling both amused and disgusted by the overly graphic content.

Compared to Yun Ya's situation, what was her own problem? Sun Fei's depression suddenly disappeared.

She asked Yunya, "Why didn't your mother hit you that time? I don't understand, isn't she known for having a bad temper?"

Yunya replied, "Maybe it's because it was the middle of the night, and she was afraid that if she hit me and made me cry, it would disturb the neighbors' sleep. Or maybe it was because it was right after I came back, and she hadn't started to hate me yet."

Sun Fei thought Yun Ya was right. Only for these two reasons could Grandma let Yun Ya go. (Grandma was Kong Xiujuan, who was of a higher generation.)

After the two finished telling their embarrassing secrets, they arrived at the school.

When I entered the classroom, the teacher wasn't there yet; the class monitor used the key to open the door.

The students on duty had already cleaned the classroom. Tomorrow it will be Yunya's turn to be on duty. The group leader told them to come 10 minutes early tomorrow to clean and not to be late.

Yun Ya replied, "Yes, team leader, I understand."

The team leader glared at her and said, "Just remember that, you little rascal."

Yunya's group leader is Shang Yanqiu, the class representative for Chinese.

A very pretty little girl, with small eyes and double eyelids, tall and thin, with fair skin, and good grades; she was a "triple-A student" in the eyes of her teachers.
