Chapter 17: See You at the End
It was the golden autumn of October, cool and comfortable, and occasionally a cool breeze hung up, lapping on her face, making her energetic.
Mo Lan's gaze slowly shifted and fixed on the thin figure.
The familiar figure was vividly in her mind, her thoughts were completely confused, and the thoughts she had been missing day and night were released at this moment, her eyes were red, and tears poured down like a stream.
The young boy stood tremblingly, staring at the beautiful girl who was close at hand, he was very excited, his body trembled slightly, his lips trembled, his eyes were full of joy, and he shed hot tears.
The reunion of the year before yesterday, the outpouring of emotion, like a flower that has long withered, has been greatly nourished at this moment and blooms again.
The young child's face was wet with tears, and Mo Lan stared at him, smiling at the tears, like a flower bud open.
"Sister...... Sister. ”
"I'm so good...... Miss you. ”
The toddler stammered these two sentences, unable to suppress the hurt he had suffered during this time, and burst into tears, unable to help himself.
When the woman heard the shouting, she came out of the kitchen and saw her sister and brother crying, "You two haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk about the old days, and I'll cook for you." ”
After saying that, she consciously went into the kitchen and continued to cook, without bothering.
The handsome man returned at this moment, and he was very relieved and moved to see the two sisters and brothers in tears, and his son finally returned to him, and finally reunited their sister and brother, and he felt that his decision was very wise.
However, what he didn't know was that what he did left a huge shadow on the young child's psyche, which will accompany him for a lifetime and cannot be erased.
Mo Lan knew that her brother had been injured one after another, and this time she came to SH with a twist and turn, and there must have been a lot of shadows in her heart, she looked sad and stepped forward to hug him.
"I miss you too!"
Tears fell again, she gently patted the child, comforting, "Don't cry, aren't you happy to see your sister?"
Mo Lan let go of her embrace and looked at the young child with a smile on her face, she was very happy, it was better to see her brother again than anything else.
The young boy wiped his tears, his eyes were red, he looked at Mo Lan without blinking, and said, "Happy, of course I'm happy to see my sister again." ”
He grinned.
"Lanzi, the meal is ready, pull your brother down to eat. ”
The woman stared at the young child, her eyes showed joy, and Mo Lan could see it clearly, and her eyebrows were furrowed, and she felt a little emotional.
She hadn't seen a woman look at her like that since she had been brought into the family by her father, and even when she called her mom later, she only smiled coldly.
She knew that it was because of her sister, but she didn't complain about her younger sister, often she could see displeasure in the woman's eyes, even disgust, she didn't squeak, she just wanted to ask her father, why did you bring me when I have a sister?
Now she could see in the woman's eyes that she loved her brother, and she was very excited, so that he could be well taken care of in the future.
Was it because my brother was the only boy in the family? And I wasn't? She was happy for her brother.
"Xiao worry, let's go, let's go eat. ”
Mo Lan dissipated her thoughts, touched her brother's head, and pulled him towards the dining table.
At this time, the toddler felt that he had no strong sense of strangeness, and his fear was much less, and he felt very comfortable in the place where his sister was.
The night fell, but it did not make the young child feel terrible darkness, but everywhere the lights were bright, and all kinds of lights shone in, but made him feel a little warm.
The flow of people in the vegetable market began to increase, one after another, and the noise became even more noisy, and at dinner time, it was always like this.
At this time, the young child and Mo Lan sat at the dining table, the table was full of food, there were seven or eight kinds, it was very warm, everyone sat around, but there was a sense of coldness.
There was no communication, no movement, everyone was very quiet, as if some ceremony was being held, and it seemed very quiet in this noisy place.
"Old watch, it's so lively today!"
At this time, a stout man approached, with a round face and a slightly fat face, but his arms were full of muscles, which looked very powerful, and his body was full of the atmosphere of rivers and lakes.
He is an old watch of a handsome man, he came from the same countryside to SH to work hard, there have been some small achievements in the past ten years, the handsome man is in the entertainment business, and he sells chickens and livestock in the vegetable market, monopolistic, very domineering, known as the old watch of the rooster.
"Oh, the rooster is here, Arashiko, go get a chair ready. The woman said.
"Brother and sister, don't be so polite, I just passed by to say hello, and the meal has already been prepared at home. Zheng Lie said that his surname was not Mo from the father of the toddler, but Zheng.
"Old watch, I took over the little worries. The handsome man said slowly, "Come, sit down and take two drinks." ”
"Where?"
"It's this one, it's a handsome guy. ”
Zheng Lie said as he took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to the young child.
The young boy didn't know why, so he didn't say anything and didn't resist, and let him put the money in his pocket.
"Huifang, quickly take out the money and return it to the old watch. The handsome man was a little angry, "Old watch, this money can't be collected, and we can't accept it." ”
Suddenly, the two of them reprimanded back and forth, unwilling to accept the money.
"Old watch, this is the first time I've seen Xiao Wei, and the meeting gift is indispensable. Zheng Lie was quite serious and continued, "You don't want this money, I'm going to turn my face." ”
The woman reprimanded again and again, and her head was big.
"Then I'll thank you for my family's worries. The woman accepted it when she saw it, smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Don't go, I just made some good dishes, so you can stay and eat." ”
When the handsome man saw the woman accept the money, his brows furrowed, a little displeased, and then he looked at Zheng Lie gently.
"Old cousin, what do you say today, you have to stay and drink two drinks with me. ”
"Since the old watch is so enthusiastic, then I won't postpone it, it seems to be raw. ”
Zheng Lie smiled, knowing that he couldn't refuse, so he happily agreed.
The toddler was very scared of life, and after slowly finishing eating, he chatted with Mo Lan beside him.
In the end, the toddler's father and Zheng Lie were left on the table drinking and talking.
"I think Xiao Worry's child is full of good, not as noisy as other people's children, he only knows how to play. ”
Zheng Lie looked at the young child's shy departure, and liked it a little, so he opened his mouth to praise.
"yes! It's okay, except after crying at first, it's much better now. "Handsome man.
"Because of this, Huifang quarreled with me several times. ”
He seems to be drunk in his brain, and then he opens his mouth to complain, very helpless, always sighing.
"Take your time, everything will be fine after a long time, and everything will have an adaptation period. Zheng Lie was also a little drunk, patted the handsome man's shoulder and said slowly.
The handsome man looked at the two sisters and brothers who were laughing and talking, and said with sorrow:
"Hopefully!"
