Chapter 9: Apricot Yellow (2) (3)
At this time, the winter solstice is still lying at home all day with nothing to do, not knowing what he can do in the future. He admires the stick baby very much. I think Bangwa is a very amazing person, and he can follow the adults to the outside world. I have seen a lot and know a lot, and I am simply a man of God. He once begged the stick baby behind his back, can he ask the stick baby to beg Mao Lin, bring himself with him, and go out with him. The stick baby patted her chest and said, it's okay, it's all wrapped up in me, my father listens to me when he encounters something, and he will definitely agree. However, as soon as the big talk was spoken, the cowhide was blown up, but there was no echo.
Actually, Bangwa really mentioned it to Mao Lin. At that time, Mao Lin glared at the bull's eye and didn't say anything. The baby was so frightened that she immediately cowered, and didn't dare to mention it again.
The winter solstice is still looking forward to seeing the sky, and several times I went to the stick baby to ask for a reply. Bangwa didn't dare to say that her father disagreed, but lied on the spot, my father said, it's not time yet. As soon as there is a shortage of manpower, I will immediately take you to the outside of the mountain.
Although the winter solstice is suspicious, it is still eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the time when the forest is short of manpower.
After Xingzi returned home, he kept following Mao Sheng's buttocks, doing some household chores and farm work in the field. Mao Sheng was greatly pleased, and tried his best to teach him all kinds of farming tools and farm routines. Apricot doesn't seem to hate farm work. He studied seriously and solidly, and was praised by Maosheng.
Xingzi also envies the stick baby. envy him for running outside all day long, well-informed, like an old character who travels south and north. However, he will not be as naïve as the winter solstice, hoping that Maolin can bring him. He knows very well that only by following Maosheng closely will he have the backbone and backer. This idea has been around for a long time. In the more than ten years since his grandmother passed away and he was accepted home by the Maosheng family, he slowly developed such a sense of dependence and identity.
He was still reluctant to approach Daddy Maoxiang. Even when he met him head-on, he bowed his head and avoided him, and he had nothing to say. Most of the time, it was Mao Xiang who took the initiative to greet him, greet him warmly, and ask him to go to the house to play and eat, etc. Xingzi just agreed, but never stepped into the small courtyard where he and Full Moon lived.
This made Mao Xiang very frustrated and very sad. He can fiddle with other things smoothly and comfortably, but he can't fiddle with his own baby cub. Sometimes, he even wonders if this apricot boy is his own seed, so why don't he recognize him. As a result, he often felt bitter and aggrieved. was bitter and ruthless, and when the grievances were tight, he was angry with the wine. Once the strength of the wine was on his body, the bitterness and grievances in his heart doubled and tortured him. In a desperate situation, he secretly succumbed alone in a place where no one was there to wipe his tears.
Once, when he was squatting on the edge of the apricot grove outside the village and wiping his tears, he happened to be bumped into by Maosheng. Maosheng was startled and asked what was wrong, he was quite a big person, why did he cry.
Mao Xiang guarded his brother, and cried more and more unabashedly, saying that Xingzi just didn't recognize him, and treated himself more than outsiders.
Shigeru was also softened by his brother's painful appearance. He taught Mao Xiang, you also use anxiety. I enlightened him more from the side, and you always held him in the way. After all, it's a hairy boy, how much energy can you have. It won't take long for the apricots to change their minds. [End of Chapter]
