reborn in childhood

Chapter 14

The three members of Mu Dongcai's family had something to worry about, and the atmosphere at home was not as good as before. Even Doudou, who was lively and active, calmed down in this weird atmosphere, and quickly learned addition and subtraction within ten.

When Chen Fang went to see Zhang Guihua that day, Zhang Guihua comforted her for a while, but she was still worried, worried that Mu Dong would have a relapse, and that her mother-in-law would make the trouble worse. After returning home, she cried a lot. While looking at her dad nervously.

As expected, Mu Dongcai did not disappoint her, he picked up Mu Mian, put him in Chen Fang's arms, laughed a few times, and persuaded: "If you cry again, Mianmian should laugh at you, you don't know about mother's temper She sometimes doesn’t know what she’s saying, but you’re good, take everything she says seriously, Mianmian is still young and needs to be taken care of by adults, don’t you want her to be a mud monkey like other children? In my opinion , I will add a younger brother to her in two years, and now the family only has tens of dollars, and I can’t even pass the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you have children now, I will have a headache. What can I support you?"

Chen Fang hugged Mu Mian and sat up straight, complaining in a low voice: "It's nice to say now, maybe it will change in a few days, besides, you didn't think so before."

"Before, before... well, remember what you were doing before."

Mu Dongcai was a little embarrassed when he came back. A good man doesn't mention his bravery, a lazy man doesn't mention his dirty years, and Mu Dongcai doesn't mention his bad years...

Mu Mian poked her head out of Chen Fang's arms, "Father is really ashamed, you used to be fierce, are you still embarrassed to apologize to your mother?"

Mu Dong just opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say a word of apology. Come on, he is no more serious than a child. The child doesn't understand anything, so he should continue to paste boxes.

"Dad, don't go out first, I know how to have a little brother sooner."

Mu Dongcai staggered and almost fell down. Doudou didn't even know where the child came from. Yesterday he asked Chen Fang in pain if he was staying in the mother's womb like a little brother. He grew up so big, How uncomfortable it is to be squeezed inside. This silly question made Mu Dongcai and Chen Fang amused for a long time, but Mu Mian's words that didn't seem stupid sounded even more stupid. Still shocked, he shook his fingers and asked, "What, what do you know?"

Mu Mian crawled down from Chen Fang's arms, hugged her leg and said sadly, "It's all my fault, it's because Mianmian's family doesn't have a younger brother."

"Silly boy, what does it have to do with you?" Mu Dongcai asked amusedly.

"Yeah, Mianmian, it's okay for you. Did someone say something bad to you? No matter who said it, it's all fake. Mianmian did nothing wrong."

"But that's what my wife said."

Mu Mian's answer made Mu Dongcai and Chen Fang confused. There was only one person the children called "wife", and it was the old lady Mu who had been widowed in their backyard for many years.Her family has a small population and high seniority. Mu Mian can't even call her Mrs. Zu because she likes children very much. It sounded messy, and finally she told the children, no matter what generation they were, to call her Mrs.

The old lady Mu is kind and righteous. Mu Mian was often taken care of by her when she was a child. She should not talk nonsense to the child. Although Chen Fang didn't understand, she was really afraid that something might happen. If Mu Dong believed it after hearing it, she would blame everything. On Mianmian's head, how will she live with Mianmian in the future!With a straight face, Chen Fang anxiously pushed Mu Mian forward, as if to provoke her.

"Mianmian, don't talk nonsense if you don't know, what does it have to do with you? Go out and play, if you talk nonsense, Mom will be angry."

Chen Fang took a lot of medicine to have a child. She never let go of any of the folk remedies and secret remedies she had heard of. No matter how hard it was, she could drink it down. There should be some truth in her words, but Chen Fang refused to listen without hesitation. How could Mu Mian not understand her intentions, hugged her legs, and said while crying: "Mom, I am not talking nonsense. The wife said that it was because the mother did not cultivate well when she gave birth to Mian Mian, and later because Mian Mian made her cry a lot, she broke her body. The younger brother was sent home, but the wife said that my mother was so thin, she was not healthy at all, and she had to get fatter to give birth to a younger brother for Mian Mian."

Mu Dong's fluttering heart finally fell down, but it fell to pieces again. If this is the reason, then he is the culprit. He is the one who watched Chen Fang suffering during the confinement period. It was him who made her cry, and it was him who made her angry and made her thinner. Mu Dong was depressed and didn't dare to look at Chen Fang. He whispered: "Mrs. Mu has been taken over by her daughter." After leaving, we have no way to ask, whether what Mianmian said is true or not?"

She really didn't make up what Mu Mian said. She heard it when Zhang Guihua was arguing with her grandma. She didn't know if it was right, but it didn't hinder her from trying it out first. Okay, when he has a younger brother three years later, he should treat his younger brother better.It's just that Zhang Guihua doesn't have this idea now, she can only put the words on the head of the wife, she is sure that the wife will spend the rest of her life with her daughter, and will not come back to expose her words, so she continued: "Really, Mianmian I won’t lie, if Dad doesn’t believe in Mianmian, he can take Mom to the hospital. The doctor’s words are definitely right. Dad, go to the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe good medicine for Mom. If Mom gets fat, I will have a baby. Brother."

"How about we go?"

Mu Dong was a little dizzy, and his thoughts were completely taken away by Mu Mian.

Chen Fang hesitated: "It's good, but we don't have so much money, let's forget it, maybe the old lady in the backyard is wrong, I'm fine, I'm in good health, not weak at all, it should be I read it wrong."

Mu Mian shook Mu Dongcai's hand. Her mother was too thrifty, and she was very dissatisfied, so she could only beg the head of the family coquettishly.

"Isn't everything in the house all money? I calculated it, and it can be sold for 3000 to 1000 yuan. Even if Wu Jun is paid back [-] yuan, we can still have at least [-] yuan left. Let's do it in two days." During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when giving moon cakes, let's borrow some money from your sister, and we will definitely pay her back during the Chinese New Year this year."

"Really?" Chen Fang looked surprised, and asked him in disbelief: "Are you finally willing to borrow money from my sister?"

Mu Mian was sweating in her heart. What her mother said was as if the aunt was begging her family to borrow money, but the aunt was really kind to them. When the relatives met each other, she would secretly give Chen Fang some money. Chen Fang knew that Mu Dong was not happy to accept it, so she refused all of them, so the aunt had to settle for the next best thing. She would give her more New Year's money than her uncle's children. Unfortunately, all the money was handed over to the old lady, and Mu Mian got a share. It didn't take long, who made her mother reluctant to spend when she should, and wouldn't lie when being questioned by the old lady.

Chen Fang also knew that Mu Dongcai was awkward. On August [-]th, she didn't let him accompany her back to her mother's house for the first time. Only then was I very happy to agree, and I almost applauded my wife for being wise.

Chen Fang dressed herself and Mu Mian neatly, and took Mu Mian back to her mother's house by bicycle. She was riding an old-fashioned bicycle with a bar in the front. A few fish, which Mu Dongliang sent to his family.

Mu Mian's aunt is named Chen Li, her face is very similar to Chen Fang's, and her eyebrows are more serious than Chen Fang's. After hearing Chen Fang's defense of Mu Dongcai, she stared at her sister with shrewd eyes. After watching for a long time, I really wanted to slap her awake.

Chen Fang is a little innocent, what's wrong with her?She just didn't want her husband to be scolded by her sister. In fact, it's okay to be scolded a few times. She was more worried that if Mu Dongcai got angry and didn't want to borrow money, then her hard work would be in vain, and her mother and sister would probably be even more angry.

The younger sister completely annoyed Chen Li by being innocent, and while breaking the moon cakes for Mu Mian, she complained to the old lady: "Mom, it's all your fault, why did you give birth to such a stupid girl, but if you want to talk about Xiaofang's advantages, There is still one thing, that is our well-behaved Mianmian, Mianmian, don’t you think so?”

"Well, Mianmian is very cute, and the mooncakes are delicious, grandma and auntie, you should eat them too!"

Mu Mian took the mooncake and gnawed it happily, and the rock sugar was crunched by her bite. The old-fashioned mooncake has few patterns but the ingredients are really simple. Mu Mian likes it very much. Chen Fang and Chen Li also tasted a few mouthfuls. The old lady is getting older. , she couldn't bear it, she waved her hand and didn't answer it, she knew that Mu Dong had figured it out, and handed over the money to Chen Fang in the future, she was in a good mood, sitting on the bed and happily peeling oranges for Mu Mian.

"Grandma, you eat too."

Mu Mian took it, broke off a piece and fed it to the old lady. She loves the old lady very much, and she loves everyone who is good to her mother. Unfortunately, her grandma left early in her previous life. She couldn't help but be filial. Given the opportunity, she should perform well.

Having a reunion dinner at noon, the two uncles came with their families, uncle and cousin Xiaoyu were also there, and the meal was lively. After the meal, Chen Li quietly told her sister that she would take her to the hospital. Fearing that the money he brought out was not enough, he took some more from the old lady. The old lady opened the veil that had been wrapped several times, leaving only a small change, and handed over the rest to Chen Fang.

Then he looked at Chen Li apologetically, and said apologetically, "Li, don't blame mom for being biased. Your younger sister is the youngest and ignorant, so mom will think more about her. Seeing a doctor is a big deal for her, so you can't delay it. Give her the private money."

Where is this going? Chen Li was speechless: "Mom, don't try to imitate other old ladies. I am your own daughter, not your daughter-in-law. I will argue with you? Xiaofang is not only you The youngest child, she is also my youngest sister. I am ten years older than her and I am like her half mother. How can I argue with her? Besides, Xiaofang has performed well during this time and taught Mianmian very well , talking is more pleasing, this is a credit, you can reward her with all your private money, and let her give you a grandson who is as obedient and filial as Mianmian next year."

"Auntie, I know what grandma means. What she's talking about is not the money, but her heart. She also wants to do something for you, but she doesn't have enough money, so I can only tell you."

"Oh!" Grandma was overjoyed: "My two daughters are really born for nothing. Only Mianmian knows me best, Xiaofang, or you can just leave Mianmian here and I will take it for you for a few days?"

Chen Fang shook her head: "His father definitely disagrees. Mianmian's father spoils her these days. When the work is over, our whole family will come over. Mom, you can watch it for as long as you want. And, sister, I think you should still Go home with brother-in-law Xiaoyu, and let Mianmian's father accompany me to the hospital in the future."

"You're just stupid, you don't have a heart at all. If the old Mu's family doesn't bully you, who do you bully? How can you let the people from the old Mu's family get involved in this kind of thing? Mianmian also brought it with you. If you don't have anything to say when you go home, you can Let her learn from her father." They went to investigate, and if nothing happened, they could hide it from the Mu family first.

Chen Li was beaten a lot by her overly virtuous sister, so she didn't talk too much with her. After discussing with the old lady, she immediately put Mu Mian on the front pole and rode away on the bike. Chen Fang had to follow. People and two cars hurried to the hospital.

There were not many people in the hospital. Chen Fang saw an old doctor. After some examinations, the old doctor came to the conclusion that Chen Fang had no major problems except that she was in poor health. She was prescribed traditional Chinese medicine to nourish her body. Although it is a bit more expensive, the stones in the hearts of the two sisters have fallen, and they are happy to spend money.

When they were about to leave, Chen Li warned: "Xiaofang, remember what the doctor said, relax and take good care of yourself, and you will have a baby soon. If Mu Dongcai and your mother-in-law make you angry again, Just use these words to block them, and also, don’t drink those messy things anymore, be careful not to damage your body, and just drink these medicines honestly in the future.”

Chen Fang nodded as she was taught, and impatiently took Mu Mian back to Jinhe Village. Mu Mian didn't need anyone to explain, so she consciously learned what the doctor said, and extended it a little bit by the way, but after hearing it, Mu Dong said, He didn't say anything, and seemed to focus all his attention on the cardboard box.

Mu Mian snuggled up to Chen Fang, and whispered to her, "Dad must be regretting it. He regrets making Mom sad. Look, he folded several paper boxes wrongly in a row."

"You're just a ghost!"

Chen Fang nodded her nose and smiled, then raised her head, Mu Dong stood up at some point, and said to her: "You have ridden a lot, you must be exhausted, sit down and rest for a while. , I'll help you make medicine."

At dinner time, Mu Dong consciously helped to light the fire again, and later bought a teacup of tofu nao for his wife, sprinkled a lot of sugar on it, as if every crystal sugar grain was his heart, Melted in the tofu brain, sweet to Chen Fang's heart, she thought happily, this is the good day she wanted.
