Chapter Twenty-Eight: Regrouping
No matter how Xiao Mu persuaded them, the mood of Zhang Laohan and his wife did not improve. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and it will be over after a small fight, but this is their hard work, and it will be sad for anyone to happen.
But life is like this, it can't be smooth sailing, there are no quiet years, there are just many disasters and difficulties.
In this incident, Xiao Mu, who was not so pessimistic, also began to have pessimistic thoughts and began to think crankily under the influence of Zhang Laohan and his wife.
Is he a broom star, why did he have so much misfortune when he came to Zhang Laohan's house, why did everything have such a big loss, why did all this happen, is he the source of all this?
The whole family was in a slump, and everyone was expressionless and spiritless, like the walking dead.
Xiao Mu saw that the situation was miserable, so he decided to use his actions to impress Zhang Laohan and do what he could, otherwise the whole family would collapse if he continued like this.
The next day, Xiao Mu put on a bamboo basket on his back and walked to the vegetable garden with a small hoe.
I saw that the vegetable garden was overgrown with weeds, and the weeds grew more vigorously than the vegetables, only a few tall cabbages were scattered and visible, and the vegetable leaves were bitten by insects.
Sure enough, as long as everything is not taken care of, it will become depressed.
Although Xiao Mu has never done farm work by himself, he has been going to the farmland with adults since he was a child, and he probably still knows how to get it.
Imitating the appearance of adults, squatting in the corner of the vegetable garden and pulling out the grass.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Mu didn't know who it was, so he turned his head to look.
The smooth and fair face, the angular-sharp cold handsomeness, the deep eyes, the charming color, the thick eyebrows, the high nose, the beautiful lip shape, and the long black hair, all exalting nobility and elegance, this person is not at all like a rural person, but simply a noble daughter in the city.
Xiao Mu didn't know who she was, "Who are you?"
The man didn't answer who Xiao Mu was, but just asked, "What are you doing here, who are you a child, so obedient, you will come to work." ”
Xiao Mu naturally didn't dare to lie, so he said: "I am the grandson of Zhang Laohan's family and the son of Xiaoying. ”
When the woman heard that it was the grandson of Zhang Laohan's family, she seemed to understand something, "Oh, oh, oh! It's the son of that Xiaoying's sister, the one who didn't stay with his father and came back to Zhang Laohan's house." ”
Xiao Mu nodded, "Well, yes." ”
This is Xiao Mu's pain, whenever others mention their past, they will feel a little sad.
But what can you do if you are sad, the mouth is someone else's, and there is no way for people to mention it, what others say, you can only bear it silently, and you have no other choice.
"Then what are you doing here, are you here to pull weeds, what about your grandfather?" the woman asked.
Xiao Mu didn't dare to look at the woman, and replied with her nails buttoned on the side: "They are at home, something happened at home recently, which makes them a little sad, I am not idle and have nothing to do, and then I will come to the vegetable field to weed, and I should play." ”
The woman seemed to see Xiao Mu's helplessness from Xiao Mu's words, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone has difficulties, it'll be fine after a while, my family is not yet, it's a bad life, but look at it." ”
Immediately, the woman took out a few candies from her pocket and gave them to Xiao Mu, "Come, then, my sister will give you candy to eat." ”
Xiao Mu naturally didn't dare to take it, "I don't want it, I don't eat sugar," although Xiao Mu wanted to eat it, he still didn't take it.
It's not that he doesn't want to take it, but he doesn't dare to take it, now he has become very introverted, but all outsiders, he is afraid of seven points.
The woman talked for a long time, but Xiao Mu still didn't answer, and she seemed to be a little angry.
"If you come here, I'll ask you, do you pick it up or not, this is what my sister brought back from the city, and I won't give anyone else food. ”
Xiao Mu didn't answer, she looked a little aggrieved, and secretly looked at the woman.
The woman looked a little impatient, rushed over and grabbed Xiao Mu's little hand full of muddy water, and patted it, "You kid is really, you can take it if you ask it, why are there so many things, twisting and pinching, not like a boy at all." "Stuff the sugar into Xiao Mu's hand.
"Let's go, my sister is going to the vegetable garden, I won't talk to you more, I will have a chance to come to see you another day." With that, the woman jumped and ran to her vegetable patch.
At this time, Xiao Mu had some tears in her eyes, I don't know if it was because the woman gave her candy, which made him feel the long-lost love and the warmth of the world, or because the woman's words and deeds reminded him of the past and poked at the sore spot, so he cried, so I don't know. In short, Xiao Mu was in tears.
In the next few years, Xiao Mu often went back to the woman's house to play, and the woman was also happy to take Xiao Mu to play.
The woman was very beautiful, but Xiao Mu was still a child at that time, so she naturally didn't understand what adults said about love.
He just thinks that the sister is good-looking, and it is only because the woman is simply good to Xiao Mu, and the woman is good to him perhaps because she takes into account Xiao Mu's life experience and thinks he is pitiful.
Many years later, I heard that the woman went out to work, and I heard that the elders said that she was married, anyway, Xiao Mu has not seen her since, and there is no chance of repaying it.
Anyway, I used to be kind to Xiao Mu, and I was kind to Xiao Mu, so many years, Xiao Mu has not forgotten, even if it is just a small thing, but the timing of the appearance is different, no matter for any reason, so I have not let Xiao Mu forget it for so many years, let him remember the reason.
Xiao Mu returned home depressed.
Zhang Laohan saw that Xiao Mu was wrong, "Xiao Mu, what's wrong with you, didn't you go to the vegetable garden?" hugged Xiao Mu and said.
"Hmm!"
Xiao Mu nodded.
Zhang Lao felt very strange, "Then why are you so frustrated, is someone bullying you?" ”
Xiao Mu lowered her head and said in a low voice: "No, when I was in the vegetable field, a sister passed by, and she gave me candy to eat, but I don't know why, I was sad, I just wanted to cry." ”
After Xiao Mu said this, Zhang Laohan didn't continue to ask, but just comforted Xiao Mu not to cry.
Looking at the crying Xiao Mu, Zhang Laohan seemed to suddenly realize that since he had taken on the responsibility of raising Xiao Mu, he should let Xiao Mu live happily, instead of letting Xiao Mu cry all day long.
He wants to see Xiao Mu's laughter, and he must regroup to make his family better and better, so that he can have confidence, instead of being so depressed and broken as he is now.
If we continue like this, we can only fall behind more and more, and only by letting our own family perish faster and going to the village to see what others are doing, can we not fall behind.
Everything before, if you don't have it, you won't come back, and everything after that will only be owned if you work hard.
After simply cleaning up his mood, Zhang Laohan cheered up again.
patted Xiao Mu's shoulder, "Xiao Mu, don't cry, grandpa will definitely have candy for you to eat, I will take care of you, as long as I am still here, I will try to make you better and better, don't worry." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Laohan walked to the kitchen.
Xiao Mu looked at Zhang Laohan's back, and instantly felt that this man was so great, with a thin figure, he carried so many burdens.
