reborn in childhood

Chapter 7

Mu Mian stared at the baby's face subconsciously, thinking about the housekeeper Quan.

My mother revolves around my father all over the world, and rarely thinks about herself. Looking through the clothes in the closet, she can find that she has not added new clothes for at least two years. Added clothes and made a small one for herself, but she saved the mother's share and saved it. Dad didn't find it carelessly, or he took it for granted when he found it. Grandpa symbolically praised that the eldest daughter-in-law is really good , That's good, and then, nothing happened, and grandma didn't even have a nice word, she accepted it with confidence, as if my mother deserved death if she didn't do this.

At that time, I didn't think anything of it, but when I grew up, when I recalled my mother's behavior, I felt that she seemed to be too virtuous. Not only did she not get well, but she suffered too much.

It's really bad to go on like this, no, she has to add fire to the family!Since the family had already been separated before she was born, grandma once said that when the family is separated, they should take care of their own affairs. She used this excuse to indifferently watch her mother work hard and take care of the children during the confinement period. Since it is what grandma said, then they should follow suit, let her enjoy life well, and don't have to worry about their family's affairs anymore, like second uncle and second aunt who know how to behave, they should be as filial as they want, and never Don't let grandma worry about their family, parents have to learn a little bit.

Mu Mian walked over and snuggled up behind Chen Fang, hooked her neck and lay on her stomach, slowly moved her head to her face, hehe, she had to enjoy it for a while before talking about troubles.

That's right, this girl wants to act like a baby. Chen Fang has already washed her clothes, so she just hangs them on a rope to dry. Thinking about the time, she just wiped off the water on her trousers, turned around and put the clothes on. Holding her in her arms, she rubbed her soft face and asked, "What's the matter? Mianmian? I didn't want to quarrel with you just now, but I wanted you to love the toys your dad bought like you love the clothes I made, Mianmian Don't be angry, mom still loves you the most, look at your second aunt, she often yells at Doudou, but if you ask Doudou, he must think that his mother treats him best."

"Mom, I'm not mad!" Never get mad at you.

"It's fine if you're not angry. That means you have something to whisper to your mother?"

"Well, mom, why do you ask her mother for the money for the soul? I have to ask grandma for the money?"

Chen Fang paused, her nerves became alert, she stopped hugging her daughter, and asked nervously: "Mianmian, tell mom what happened, did you feel wronged by grandma?" Yes, I would never say something like that for no reason.

Chen Fang has a gentle temperament, and she might not be able to make up her mind if she is not stimulated, so Mu Mian learned what the old lady said, including what she said, and finally cried, "Mom, I My leg hurts, my butt hurts, my arm hurts, and grandma is so fierce."

In fact, Mu Mian didn't expect the bruise to be so serious. She was startled when she fell asleep last night. She thought it must be because she was thin, but she can take advantage of this injury.Sure enough, when Chen Fang heard about it, she immediately lifted her clothes to look, stomped her feet angrily, and kept saying how could there be such a grandma.

When the two mothers were crying, Mu Dong came back pushing his bicycle. In the basket were the meat and vegetables needed for today's dinner. Seeing this scene, he felt a little puzzled. Chen Fang has shed tears. In the past two years, the electricity at home has been connected and a little money has been saved. Why does she cry more?
After hurting her heart, Chen Fang would not be willing to say anything, and turned her face away to start a fight with Mu Dongcai. Her voice was not loud but she sounded aggrieved.

"Okay, Mu Dongcai, the child is five years old, and I haven't seen you add anything to her. I said it's fine, why did you remember to buy her a toy? You are guilty of cooperating, you are still a father Is it right? You let the child be bullied and hurt by the side, your heart is made of stone? How did our mother and father feel sorry for your old Mu family, and deserve it? "

In the past, it was Mu Dong who made a fuss with Chen Fang first, but now that the roles have been reversed suddenly, Mu Dong is very uncomfortable and thinks it should not be like this, but when he saw the poor little thing crying in Chen Fang's arms, he couldn't say anything. What, after supporting the car, he asked in confusion: "Okay, why are you making trouble again? Look at Mianmian crying!"

How could she be unreasonable?Chen Fang felt very tired and didn't want to talk to him at all, so she handed Mu Mian into his arms and said angrily: "What is good, you can see for yourself, the injury on the knee is the result of helping the old lady a few days ago. The one who delivered the bowl knocked, and his arms and butt were hurt by the old lady yesterday." After that, she started to hang the clothes and ignored the two of them.

Mu Dong took a deep breath after seeing it. He fell so hard, how much force the old lady had to use. He had known for a long time that the old lady was not very affectionate to Mu Mian. She will complain a few times, but the child is her own granddaughter after all, so it won't be too bad. I never thought that the old lady would play hard.

Mu Dongcai's mood was embarrassing for a while, and he asked her to accompany the woman. He couldn't hold back his face, and greeted the air, then carried Mu Mian back to the house, and applied purple lotion on the broken skin. Can only wait for it to slowly disappear.

"Dad, I don't hurt, please tell mom not to be angry."

"Your mother is not angry. She is busy. Dad bought a lot of vegetables today, as well as meat and chicken. Mianmian can have it tonight. Why don't we go and see what else we bought?"

How could Mu Mian be fooled by him, tugging at the corner of his clothes, "If you don't look at it, Mom is angry, go out and persuade, Dad is the best."

Mu Dong touched his nose in embarrassment, and walked out slowly under his daughter's adoring eyes, looking up at the sky, "Well, I've already bought the vegetables, what are you doing tonight? Han Guang is here for the first time For our family to eat, the food should be cooked decently."

He didn't get a response, so Mu Dong turned his head and took a look into the room. Mu Mian was holding his fist high at him, and stomped his feet anxiously. Alas, why didn't I find out before, it's really hard to serve the big and the young.Chen Fang was really angry, well, he had to do something if he just said that he didn't make a fake move, so Mu Dong bent down to get the clothes in the bucket, and wanted to express his apology with sincerity.

"Snapped!"

Chen Fang hit him, "Hands are so dirty, why are you touching clothes! You want me to wash them again!"

"Mianmian, look, your mother has spoken, and she is not angry anymore!" Finally he spoke, now he can do business.

Mu Mian nodded, and when Mu Dongcai's smile just burst into bloom, she suddenly slapped her hands and said excitedly, "Oh! Oh! Dad was beaten, Dad was beaten!" Quickly ran out.

"Where are you going, Mianmian?"

The two people who reacted shouted in unison, one was worried that she would be bullied when she went out, the other was worried that she would not be able to keep her mouth shut and would talk nonsense when she went out, why dad was beaten, he is not Wu Jun, he will be angry with a woman!Mu Dongcai raised his eyes to look at Chen Fang. She has a small and exquisite body, a delicate face, and a tender and thin neck. Such a daughter-in-law can't be turned into a tigress no matter what.

"Don't worry, Mianmian knows how to measure and won't go out and talk nonsense. Guess what she said to me today? She asked me why Xinbeibei and the others spent money to ask for it from their mother, but she could only ask for it from grandma. .”

Mu Dong kept a straight face and remained silent for a while.

Chen Fang didn't care about him, and said to herself: "The last time I went back to my mother's house, my mother also asked me who is in charge of my family's money now. I was too embarrassed to answer her. I felt ashamed. What did you say, look for yourself, people around you, whose family is divided and the money is handed over to the old man? Whose children are living worse than Mianmian? If I am soft-tempered, I deserve to be speechless at home? Tell me the truth, is it because Mu Mian is a girl and you think I will not live with you sincerely, so you gave the money to your mother? We have been married for several years, how did I treat you and this family? Yes, you have eyes too, you can see everything, am I so unreliable? Can't you be a good support for our mother and daughter?"

After Chen Fang finished speaking, she wiped away her tears, turned around and went to wash and choose vegetables, leaving Mu Dong standing there alone thinking, and Mu Mian who jumped out of nowhere shouted, "Dad , I'm going to my second aunt's house."

In fact, Mu Dongcai did have that kind of worry at the beginning. He felt that Chen Fang was too beautiful, and he was afraid that he, a poor boy, would not be able to keep it. There were not one or two women who eloped with others in the village. He couldn't bear to let his daughter-in-law be with others, let alone that person, so when his mother asked to help manage the money, he agreed with the trend. If he wanted his mother to suppress Chen Fang, he had better grind her temper to save money. She is restless, even if she really climbs to the top in the end, she will not lose money and money.

But after so many years, he is not blind. He has long understood that Chen Fang is good. Who in these ten miles and eight villages does not envy him for marrying a good wife, and he is not the poor and white boy who used to be. The more I feel that I can do a good job, I won't spend my whole life facing the loess and falling to the sky with a drop of sweat and can't earn much money. What I told Han Guang this time is an opportunity. If it goes well, he will soon Let the wife and children live a good life.Thinking about it carefully, they have indeed wronged their wives all these years. Zhang Guihua is in charge of the money of the second brother's family, and she and Doudou have not suffered much wronged.He knew that his mother was a bit bully and fearful, whoever was bullying and fearful, even he himself was not the same sometimes, but he didn't expect the old lady to be like this to his own people. Soft, he should be more protective in the future as a pillar.

Only then did Mu Dong figure something out, and he felt guilty for his original thoughts, so he made up his mind and went to the old lady's place.

When the old lady heard that he wanted to take the money back, she shook her head like a rattle, and said that she had a headache and that her waist was uncomfortable.

"Mom, I really don't want to hand it over to Chen Fang, but I will manage it myself. I will go to the bank to open an account in two days and deposit the money in it. No one can withdraw it without the password, even Chen Fang can't withdraw it." penny."

Mu Dong patiently explained it again. The relatively unfamiliar word "bank" made the old lady a little dumbfounded, and unconsciously pursed her lips.But who is she, Ma Xiangxiang? She is a person who is used to in the Mu family. Take the old man in the family as an example. He was also a tough guy who said nothing in the past. With an idea, he patted his thigh and said, "You silly boy, what kind of bank do you save in! Do you know the people in the bank? How can you trust them if you don't know any of them? If they are closed, who do you ask to go? How can a bank have a mother? It's safe, don't worry, mom will keep it safe for you, mom is better than the bank, absolutely half a cent is not a lot."

"Mom, the bank is run by the state, and you won't default on your debts. Just give me the money, and I won't spend it recklessly. If you want anything in the future, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you too."

Asking her son for money and her son asking her for money are the difference between heaven and earth, even life and death. This is the first time she used the moves she usually used against Mu Dongliang and Zhang Guihua on her eldest son, but she used Shun Liu, and she came as soon as she said it.

"The bank won't renege on its debts, but your mother and I will? You don't believe me! God, my life is so miserable. Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son who asked me for money in a polite manner? His wife provoked him, he really married his wife and forgot his mother..."

Mu Dong was startled by his mother's voice. After realizing it, he felt a little uncomfortable. He finally realized the saying that having a father and a mother is not as good as having one in his own hands, but he couldn't do without the money. Let alone Chen Fang, Even if he wants to do business, he needs capital, right?

After the old lady howled for a long time, Mu Chuanqing finally "woke up". He came out of the back room laughing, pushed Mu Dongcai out of the door, and persuaded, "Are you making your mother angry? Your mother will You are feeling uncomfortable in your heart, you should go back first, and talk about it later, ah, talk about it later."

Mu Dongcai was dismissed like this. When the old lady used excuses on Chen Fang before, he didn't feel much. The old man has worked hard all his life. It is not easy for a junior to ask her to say a few words, but now it is his turn. , He immediately felt the pain, he just wanted to get his own money back, judging from this posture, it was even more difficult than asking his family for money when he was a child.

Mu Dongcai still remembered that everyone was poor at that time, and his family was no exception. When he was a child, he was greedy and dragged his younger brother to the stall where he couldn't buy peanuts. They bought it, and stood there haggling with the peddler for a long time. She took a few peanuts from the peddler, but she was very happy, but she didn't want to taste any of them. She kept them all for his brother. He and his brother ate those peanuts for many days. , laughing at Wu Jun while eating, the kid was beaten by his mother but didn’t eat anything, he thought his mother was much better than Wu Jun’s mother, and secretly swore at that time that when he grows up, he must be filial to his mother , bought her a lot of peanuts, and also bought her other good things.

It is true that he has been doing this all these years. Whatever the old lady says works for him, and he never doubts what she says or does, because he believes that what his mother does is for his own good. Wu Jun He said that if Jinhe Village selects a filial son, then he must be a role model. The old lady has such a filial son in her life, and everything is worth it. He was very happy to hear that, and felt that he had finally fulfilled the promise he made when he was a child.

But why?The old lady is getting more and more difficult and unreasonable now?His daughter is her own granddaughter, where did the love for him go?It's just that he lost the previous enthusiasm for himself and started to care about him. Could it be that he got used to it?Or is it that the old lady is old and confused?Why does he look at his mother now, and he no longer feels like he used to, and doesn't feel like his mother anymore?

Mu Dong was hit and returned home in a daze, not paying attention to Mu Mian who was secretly following behind him.
