Chapter 36: The Secret of the Heart

If that so-called relative just deceived her feelings, Xia Mo would resent, but she wouldn't hate, but when they concealed her parents' letters and made her not know the news of her parents, Xia Mo hated it very much.

So little Xia Mo had to flee, but she was only 7 years old, she didn't know the way at all, and she couldn't find her way home anyway, so she had to lose her temper and dare to let the family have to throw her back.

The woman smiled, stroked her daughter's back, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Xia Mo said, suddenly Xia Mo had an idea, if it was a dream, why did she feel pain now.

My daughter's body kept shaking, how could it not hurt?

"Since it hurts, you can't be naughty in the future. The woman said angrily, "You are a girl, so naughty, you actually went to climb the big elm tree at the mouth of the alley and fell from the tree." If your aunt hadn't come back and saved you, you'd have lost half your life if you didn't die. ”

Xia Mo listened, slightly stunned, she didn't climb a tree at all, but was beaten by the so-called relatives and aunts, because she wanted to come back to find her parents, but they wouldn't let her come back, so she broke one of her aunt's favorite antique vases, and the aunt was very angry, so she beat her with a feather duster.

also angrily scolded her for being a mourning star and a short-lived ghost, saying that she was going to sell her, she was very scared and kept crying, and her aunt asked her to stop, but she didn't, so she was beaten several times.

But the truth doesn't matter, what matters is that she wakes up and finds herself back, back to her own home.

Her hands are not chapped and rough and calloused, but white and slender fingers, because in her aunt's house, her aunt always embarrassed her, and even let a 7-year-old child wash dishes and laundry.

The little hands were cracked by the winter water, but the aunt told her mother that she was very well-behaved, very obedient, and would help with the housework, and indeed she had to be diligent under the intimidation of the feather duster, otherwise she would not even be able to eat.

It's incredible, but it's true.

Letting go of the hand holding her mother, Xia Mo looked at the woman carefully, with a fair goose face, big almond eyes, a straight nose, and ruddy lips, this is when her mother was young.

"Uh-huh. Xia Mo responded and choked up, "I'm not naughty anymore." ”

The woman smiled and said, "Oh, my little princess is so obedient today?"

"I've always been so obedient, okay?" Xia Mojiao said angrily, a mother's child is like a treasure, unconsciously coquettish in front of his mother.

Not thinking about why she was sent away, and it won't be a month left right away, she just wants to enjoy the happiness of having loved ones.

"Yes, Mommy's little princess has always been so obedient. The woman said, "Okay, you've been asleep for hours, get up quickly, eat some watermelon to relieve the heat, and when your father comes back, we can have dinner." ”

Xia Mo nodded, kissed her mother's face, and said, "Okay, mom is the best." ”

Xia Mo got dressed, got out of bed, and went to the yard to wash her face. Even though it was almost night, the woman still combed Xia Mo with two beautiful braids.

A little boy came in with a few washed peaches in his hand and said, "Auntie, my mother has got some peaches, let me send you some to taste." ”

Xia Mo and the woman just cut the watermelon and said, "Xiao Ke, come and eat the watermelon, it's made in our yard, it's big and very sweet, I'll take half of it back later."

Eating watermelon in the summer makes my heart feel cold.

The little boy was also polite, and sat down to eat two pieces of watermelon. When Xia Mo's mother entered the house, she reached out and pinched Xia Mo's face.

The eight-year-old young man is already very handsome, full of sunshine, very dazzling, so that Xia Mo does not dare to look directly, but think about it, there doesn't seem to be such a neighbor who is about the same age as her in her memory, but it seems that there is, maybe it has been too long, Xia Mo has forgotten it.

"Does your back still hurt?" the boy asked, "and let me know later that you climb trees and see that I don't spank you!"

Spanking? She was still remembering whether she knew such a neighbor before, and now she saw his smiling face.

However, the boy's words made Xia Mo's head full of black lines, and a word destroyed her long-brewing mood.

"Xiao Ke, I've grown up, if you beat me, I won't be good with you. Xia Mo pouted, Xia Mo thought of it, she did have such a friend in her childhood, in her memory, just half a month ago, the eight-year-old Xiao Ke confessed to the seven-year-old her, the point is that she still accepted it.

Thinking about it, I also feel that I was really naïve when I was a child, and then think about Sun Like I met later, the two of them are simply incomparable.

Although she didn't understand what love was at the time, she felt good when she saw her loving parents and thought that she could live with Xiao Ke forever in the future.

It's normal for her to make such a delicate gesture, so she didn't make Xiao Ke suspicious.

"Oh, if you do something wrong, I can't say anything about you yet!" Xiao Ke pinched Xia Mo's delicate little nose, "Even if Auntie knows, she won't blame me." ”

"I know it's wrong, you can't hit me. Xia Mo said, talking with his childhood sweetheart's brother turned out to be such a happy thing.

Xia Mo felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart, when she was a child, although she accepted the confession of this boy named Xiao Ke, she was very naïve, talking and doing things, always making people cry and laugh.

"If you know your mistakes, you will change them, and if you are good, I won't beat you. Xiao Ke didn't see the sadness in Xia Mo's eyes, and said, "By the way, I'm going to move elsewhere in a few days, and I'll write to you then, you must write back to me·······"

Xia Mo lowered her head, chuckled in her heart, and said, "I know, I know······" But Xia Mo thought that it seemed that it was that time that the little boy never came back to look for her, because she also left only a few days later, not to move, but to be sent to an orphanage.

The day before, they were happily sitting together eating watermelon and chatting, but everything came so suddenly, and the next day he was put on a train to an unfamiliar place, and it seemed that her parents were going to see her off.

At that time, she was ignorant, crying and making trouble, crying and crying on the train, it was hot, and she had heat stroke, and she didn't even see Xiao Ke for the last time.

"Be obedient there, wait a few years, find a place to work, and when you are an adult, I will marry you." Xiao Kedao looked at the tsundere Xiao Xia Mo warmly.

"Oh······" Xia Mo responded and didn't dare to look up, she was afraid that Xiao Ke would see her gaffe, because this was a dream, she already knew everything that Xiao Ke didn't know, and she knew that she didn't see Xiao Ke the next day.

Seeing that Xia Mo seemed to be unhappy, Xiao Ke was reluctant to let him leave for Xia Mo, and smiled like a fox who ate candy.

When the woman came out of the house, she gave the watermelon to the boy Xiao Ke to bring it. Seeing Xia Mo's mother coming, the boy thanked him and left with the watermelon.

The woman was busy cooking, and she didn't notice anything unusual about her daughter, so she ordered some wormwood that smoked mosquitoes, and went to the kitchen.

When Xiao Xia Mo returned to the house, she smelled the good smell of wormwood, but Xia Mo was not happy at all, because she would be sent away the next day, and she would never come back, she looked at the wedding photos of her parents on the wall, she wanted to remember the appearance of her parents in her dreams, and she would never forget them.

She still remembers that when she was sent away, she was sad, reluctant to leave her parents, reluctant to leave home, reluctant to her only good friend Xiao Ke, crying and crying all the time, and was in high spirits, and did not ask her parents why they sent her away in a hurry.

Thinking that dreaming can bring her back to this age, to the place before she left, maybe it is to make her ask the reason why she didn't ask more than ten years ago.

She can't be so weak anymore, she has to ask clearly, what is it for, so that she knows in her heart.

On the night of the dream, Xia Mo's father hurriedly came in from outside, his face was pale, and his hair, which had always been neat, became slightly messy. Due to the rapid walking, even when I got home, I was still panting.

"Wife, you pack Momo's things and send her on the train to City A tomorrow. Xia Mo's father panted, his nervous appearance was no longer as calm as usual.

Xia Mo came out of the house and looked at his father, who was as young as he remembered in his memory, with a square Chinese face, black hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and tight skin without wrinkles.

When many people first saw their father, they thought he was a tough soldier, but after getting acquainted with him, they would find that her father was a very gentle and humble literati. He has done research and is very serious, and has cultivated many good varieties of fruit trees and won many awards.

"Dad. Xia Mo stepped forward and called out to the man tentatively: Dad, and then stepped forward and hugged his father, who had not seen him for decades, and couldn't hold back anymore, "Dad, Dad·······"

Although he knew that he had been living in an orphanage for many years because of the man in front of him, Xia Mo still couldn't help but want to hug the man in front of him.

shouted one after another, pouring out Xia Mo's inner thoughts, grievances, and irresolvable remorse······

The man thinks that his daughter does not want to leave home, after all, his daughter is only 7 years old, and she is still a child who has not grown up.

"Good, good, Momo, don't cry. The man gently patted his daughter's back and comforted him softly, trying to make his voice as gentle as possible so as not to frighten his timid and well-behaved daughter.

But Xia Mo's tears, like beads with broken threads, kept flowing down.

"You, why do you have to send the child away as soon as you come back?" The woman was also very puzzled, especially when she saw her daughter crying like this, she was even more distressed, "In our family, there is only one child in Momo, although I ...... But can you send her away later? I want to spend a few more days with her...... , we are two dual-income workers, and we can't feed Momo a child in just a few days!"

The woman was in tears, although the seven-year-old Xia Mo couldn't understand the conversation between the two people at that time, she still saw the painful struggle between the two people, and knew that her parents must have a reason to send her away, Xiao Xia Mo has always been naïve to think that they will pick her up after just a few days.
