reborn in childhood

Chapter 36

Mu Dong has only lived for more than 20 years. He has never enjoyed great blessings or hardships. He has never experienced the feeling of despair. With the moonlight shining through the window, he can see his daughter's face clearly. The joking expression froze instantly, what kind of expression does Mianmian have?
He couldn't find any other words to describe it except despair.

Mu Dongcai's heart seemed to be stabbed fiercely by an ice knife in the cold moon. The pain, cold, and soreness made people suffocate. He held his daughter in his arms almost tremblingly, his icy little body kept shaking, Fragile and perishable like an ice doll in the sun.

Only at this moment did he know what it was like when Chen Fang said those words to him. Apart from being as distressed as Chen Fang, he was also full of self-blame and regret that could not be vented.

He was irritated very much by Mu Mian today, and that stinky boy Doudou also behaved shamelessly, avoiding him like a jackal, not caring about being rubbed with ashes by the pot, and standing far away from him, holding the bowl and putting him on the table. Depressed, these children are really more difficult to take care of each other, like when they were young, they just had to eat enough, clothe themselves warmly and not be beaten, how could they have so many small thoughts.

He asked Chen Fang puzzledly: "Listen to Mianmian, she has a big opinion on the old lady, but our mother didn't do anything to her? Anyway, I don't remember that she ever slapped Mianmian , Is there anything else I don't know?"

Chen Fang looked at him angrily and in surprise, is this person stupid?Whether it is good for children is only reflected in the matter of hitting children or not?She felt that she was going to be so angry with this bastard, her temples were throbbing, her head was swollen, Chen Fang rubbed her temples, and she was thinking: before she told Mu Dong that she didn't believe it, but this year he might believe it Her own words are good, and she doesn't want their mother and son to get angry, and Mu Dong is very kind to Mianmian, so she intends to swallow that tone. Just take this opportunity to let him fully understand how his mother treated his daughter.

With the lessons learned from last time, Mu Dong was very concerned about Chen Fang's confinement. Although he didn't know what he said just now was wrong, but he really pissed off his wife. With a smile, he pushed off the heel of the shoe Sitting side by side, Chen Fang rubbed her head lightly, waiting for her to talk about her past that she didn't know.

Chen Fang's voice was a little tired and sour, and she said while recalling: "I won't say much else, lest you think that I provoke your mother-child relationship, I just tell you one thing. That year, you and Wu Jun When I went out to work, Mianmian and I were the only two at home. I had to take care of the children and do crop work. Originally, Mianmian was sensible and didn’t need me to worry too much. After the village head yelled on the horn, every household was busy harvesting the crops. The beans in our family’s two acres of land were all up to me alone. At home, the little Mianmian didn't cry, she dragged a small basket, and followed me quietly to pick up the beans that fell on the ground. When she had cut less than half an acre of land, she suddenly ran up to me and said that she was uncomfortable. Kiss her forehead, it's horribly hot, but all the work in the field is waiting there, I can't get away from Ben, our parents don't have much land, and they did the same thing at that time, our mother has already gone home to cook , I asked Mianmian to go home and look for her, I thought, she is the child's grandma after all, I don't expect the old lady to help me with work, but she will always take the child to see a doctor, but, do you know what the result is? ?”

Mu Dong heard his heart beating like a drum. He knew that Mianmian was lying in the room in good condition and was angry with him, but he couldn't control his nervousness and blurted out: "How is it?" gone?"

Chen Fang wiped away tears, leaned on him, and said angrily: "I was busy until the next morning before cutting the crops. Dong Liang asked a friend to borrow a tractor to help me pull them home. After that, I went to see Mianmian in the house and found out that something was wrong. Her mouth was burning and blistered, and her face was terribly red. I woke her up and asked her if she had seen a doctor. She said no, and grandma gave her medicine. , I opened the small paper bag she handed me and saw that there were three pieces of paracetamol that were about to be squeezed by cotton. The small bowl on the table was used for drinking medicine by cotton, and the water I poured was left in the bottle. The last point is that the bowl is full of theophylline. Mianmian must have heard me say that she can't drink cold water when she is sick, and she can't boil water herself, so she can only make do with the undrinkable theophylline water. She has no water. I have to drink, let alone have food to eat. I don’t understand. Is the old lady’s heart made of stone? Knowing that the child is sick, she doesn’t take her to see a doctor, and knowing that I’m not at home, she sends Mianmian When a person comes back, even if he is a stranger, he can’t just do these things, right?”

Chen Fang cried hard on Mu Dongcai's body. Although the door was closed, the house is an old-fashioned earthen house, and the sound insulation effect is not very good. Chen Fang was afraid of disturbing Mianmian and Doudou in the west room, biting the corner of the quilt and groaning. Sobbing and sobbing, the body was shaking violently.

Mu Dongcai stared sharply at the opposite wall, with a cold expression on his face, wishing he could knock open his fucking chest to see if the jumping thing was made of stone!Is his daughter's life a human life?
The more Chen Fang thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, she became impatient, and bit Mu Dongcai's arm hard. Mu Dongcai was full of remorse and wished she would punish him harder, so she just sat there and let her bite without moving. Then she continued with a heavy nasal voice: "I asked her for money to go to the clinic, but she was okay, she said no need, just give the child another paracetamol, I was so angry that I really wanted to make a fuss, but I was afraid Delaying Mianmian's illness, I carried her directly to the clinic. Uncle Mu who opened the clinic is a relative who came in with our family. He knew that I had no money, but without saying a word, he gave Mianmian a hanging water, and even finished the hanging. After a few days of water, Mianmian's fever did not subside. At the beginning, Uncle Mu said that it would be dangerous for the child to have a fever of [-] degrees. Fortunately, Mianmian's brain did not burn out. But since then, I don't know what happened. , she is even less talkative. My sister also knows about this. She pays for the clinic's money. She loves Mianmian the most, and she is inevitably angry, so she didn't give you a good face. Don't blame her. If you want to blame, blame your mother. Is there such a grandma? Outsiders are better than her. She doesn't even take Mianmian's life seriously. How much do you expect her to treat the child? How well do you expect the child to treat her well? She? What Mianmian said today is not pleasant, but she is not wrong at all. No matter how young a child is, he knows what is good or bad. For example, if you feed him often, he will smile at you more. It is our Mian Mian Xinyan is good-natured, if it is another child, I don't know how to make a fuss."

Mu Dong was a little embarrassed. His daughter was neglected and bullied like this. Where is he as a father?I couldn't help complaining to Chen Fang: "Why didn't you tell me this before?" If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have done so many stupid things.

Chen Fang smiled wryly, shook off Mu Dongcai's hand on her shoulder, lay a little further away from him, and said coldly, "Why didn't I say that? But what I said was useless, and instead I ended up complaining more and making the old lady hate Mianmian even more, so why should I keep talking?" If it weren't for your lack of dedication as a father, how could there be such problems? After having a son, she has to fall into her schemes.

Chen Fang closed her eyes and recalled Mu Mian's grievances, and she was unwilling to talk to Mu Dongcai again. If Mu Dongcai hadn't said anything about Mianmian until now, she would definitely have a quarrel with him, but he Cooking and talking softly, she was so depressed that she had nowhere to vent her anger.

Mu Dongcai also recalled the past, when he came back from other places that day, his mother told him that Chen Fang didn't take good care of the child, and almost made the child have a fever, and told him that Chen Fang ran to her mother's house every three days , are married, who has such a daughter-in-law?He is a bit patriarchal, but he can't bear the fact that his daughter-in-law almost brought up his daughter in an accident. The heart that was originally elated when he returned home was suddenly poured with cold water, and he put all the apples he brought home in his mother's place angrily. When I got home, I had a quarrel with Chen Fang. Chen Fang seemed to say something at the time, but he didn't hear it in his heart, and he doesn't remember it now. He just remembers that she went back to her mother's house for a few days with the child in her arms. I don't know how to cook, so I can only go to his mother's place to eat every day, and then listen to his mother talking a lot. Since then, the relationship between husband and wife has become worse and worse...

Mu Dong narrowed his eyes coldly. It seems that what Mian Mian said was true. He was not good in the past, and he didn't clarify his position. Using Wu Jun's words to describe it, he was too stupid and filial. He only remembered He is his mother's son, but he forgot that he is also a husband and a father, and he forgot to support his wife and daughter with a sunny and bright sky. Fortunately, now, he knows everything he should know, and he should be completely awakened .

Mu Dong just smiled flatteringly, ignored Chen Fang's struggle, and hugged her forcefully in his arms, and said some intimate words, Chen Fang's body gradually softened, her mother taught her that the prodigal son will never change his money if he turns back, Don't hold on to a man's mistakes, and she'll just let it go.

Mu Dong just got a smile on his face, and he was in a good mood for a while, and said cheerfully: "Mianmian didn't like to talk before, so I didn't see it. She is so transparent that she is smarter than me. Some things are clearer than me. , Do you think it's strange?"

Chen Fang was crying out of water, so Mu Dong poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. The steaming steam spread from the mouth of the cup to her face. She held the warm water cup and said softly: "At first I It’s also a little strange, you said I’m not smart at all, and you’re not too smart, why is our Mianmian the smartest kid in the village? Thinking about it later, maybe it’s because Mianmian suffered too much, and God compensated him. Her, last summer vacation, I often heard Mianmian talking in my sleep, sometimes I would say, grandma, don’t drive my mother away, it’s okay if you don’t like me, my mother treats you so well, you must like her, Sometimes I said, if my mother divorces my father, she will die. I don’t want my mother to die. I must protect her and prevent people from bullying her... Anyway, it’s similar words. She cried while talking, her little face There were tears all over her face, and even the pillow was wet from crying. At that time, I thought, whether she is smart or stupid, what does it matter? She is always my daughter, thinking of me wholeheartedly, but I can’t Let her live a good life, and let her worry and fear, and can't even dream peacefully, so from then on, I don't care what she wants to do, as long as she can be happy."

When Mu Dong heard that his daughter was talking about her mother in her dream, and she didn't even say anything about her father, he felt a little apprehensive, but when he thought about what Chen Fang did for his child, and compared with what he did for his child, he felt only The rest was uncomfortable, and he regretted that he was too careless before, ignoring the two of them. He tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, so he finally decided to come and explain it to Mu Mian.

Mu Mian didn't know that his father was full of thoughts at this time, and he didn't know what to do. He stuck to Mu Dongcai's chest and kept crying. Doudou was worried about Mu Mian and slept more vigilantly. Awakened by crying, he sat on the bed and watched them quietly, his little head was full of puzzlement, Mian Ya was crying, uncle was shedding tears, and aunt standing silently at the door was also wiping tears. What can I do?Something big happened!The sky is falling!
"Wow wow wow wow..."

Doudou's crying was earth-shattering. He didn't quite understand why everyone was crying. Anyway, he was going to cry too, and nothing could help him. He was so sad.

The big yellow dog in the next yard stood up with a whoosh, and rushed out of the kennel dragging its chain with a clatter, and barked at the moon with its head up, following Doudou's voice one after another, very loud in the silent night, Wu Gang, who was suffering from insomnia, was a little worried and decided to go to see Doudou and the little mute tomorrow morning.

The original sadness in Chen Fang's heart was instantly extinguished by Doudou's loud voice, and she walked over and touched his hard head and said, "You silly Doudou, why are you crying?"

Doudou was supposed to do nothing but thunder and never rain, and managed to squeeze out two drops of toad urine. Now that Chen Fang smiled, he couldn't cry immediately. Seeing Mu Dongcai and Mu Mian looked at him incomprehensibly, so he had to feel pitiful Said: "I'm hungry, I want to eat."

After finishing speaking, he was worried that Mu Mian would make fun of him as a foodie, so he immediately added: "It's not my fault, what kind of stuff does uncle cook, um, it's not delicious at all, and I'm not very hungry at all."

Mu Dong is angry, sir, I have worked so hard to serve you you little brat, and now I am serving you wrong?
Chen Fang sent him and Mu Mian to the kitchen to cook with a smile, leaving room for their father and daughter to talk. She led Doudou to the east room by herself, and made him a cup of milk powder first. Now Doudou is happy, lie down Playing with my brother's little feet on the bed.

Just before Mu Dong lit the pot, Mu Mian stood on a small bench, added some water to the big pot, put a grate on it and put a few steamed buns on it, then silently washed and chopped vegetables.

When Mu Dong saw that she had been silent all this time, he sighed faintly. He had to bow his head first when talking to his daughter-in-law, and he was the first to bow his head when talking to his daughter. A brat waiting for him to teach him a lesson.

He added a lot of fire, and said: "Mianmian, it was because Dad was bad and ignored you before, but Dad promises that he will treat you twice as well in the future. Even your younger brother is not as important as you."

This turn of events made Mu Mian grinned, but her brother's name hadn't been decided yet, how could she compromise so quickly, so she pretended to be indifferent and continued to lower her head, cutting the flat eyebrow peas into thin slices. The silk is emerald green, just like her current good mood.

Mu Dongcai's technique of coaxing people is getting better and better now, he can handle the big ones, so can't he coax the little ones?With a dry cough, he continued: "You silly girl, are you still holding grudges against your father? You have said so much today, but I have criticized you. My father said he was disappointed in you. It was disappointment. You don't believe me at all. We are Family, if you have any ideas, tell me directly, can I still make decisions for you?"

Mu Mian turned her head slowly, lowered her eyes so that Mu Dong couldn't see her eyes clearly, and asked sullenly, "Then what's your brother's name?"

"Let's discuss it slowly as a family."

"Who will listen to our family's affairs in the future?"

"Of course you listen to me."

"what?"

"No, I mean, of course our family discussed it slowly, and we will listen to whoever is right."

The corners of Mu Mian's mouth curled up, and the more she smiled, the more obvious she was. Finally, she threw herself into Mu Dongcai's arms with a cheer, and muttered, "Father, you are so kind. For the sake of your good performance, Mianmian must take good care of you in the future." you."

"Who cares about your little girl's protection."

Only then did Mu Dong pat her buttocks, and he couldn't close his mouth when he smiled. The fire light reflected on the father and daughter, warming and penetrating deep into their hearts.
