Mei'er woke up suddenly, reached out and touched the child's head, it seemed that the child was really hungry, she sat up straight, and fed the child porridge without distraction.

Mingchen glanced at her, and there was a nervousness in her eyebrows.

"Don't worry, my lady is in the guest and not at home."

Mei'er breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, I will stay for a day or two at most and then go back to the house, I shouldn't have met his wife, but when I thought about it, she felt a little unnatural, why should I worry?. I met this person, Pingshui, even if he was to save people, I was upright, I was not afraid of shadows, what were I afraid of?

But her pink face was still slightly hot, and she didn't dare to look at Mingchen again, but carefully blew away the heat of the porridge and fed it to the hungry child.

The child ate happily, and the little hand grabbed Mei'er's wrist from time to time and shook it around, and the little buttocks were jumping around on the bed, which was very squeaky.

Mingchen couldn't help touching the bridge of his nose and sighed: "Sure enough, when I feed him, this kid always crawls all over the ground, and every time he has to pick it up and beat his ass a few times before he is willing to settle down and eat obediently." ”

Mei'er looked at him unhappily and said, "Such a young child, are you willing to beat it?" ”

There was a rare condensation on her pretty face, and Mingchen could only turn her head and cough in a low voice.

Mei'er looked at Mingchen's back, and suddenly lost her words, this is someone else's, I am just an outsider, how can I peck indiscriminately

She smiled apologetically and said softly, "Ah, you feed the children on weekdays?" It's really hard for you, what about the child's mother? Why? It's really pitiful that the child is always crying and asking his mother to hug him! ”

Mingchen straightened his back, he took a deep breath, and said in a dumb voice: "My son misses his mother, since he was born to the present, her mother has only hugged him once, but he remembers the smell of his mother's body."

Mei'er was stunned, the child was shaking her hand again, she took the bowl in Mingchen's hand, and the bowl had bottomed out.

"After eating, is it enough?"

The child shook his head, grabbed the porridge bowl with his little hand, looked at it again and again, and showed an aggrieved expression on his face.

"You can't eat too much at once, okay, Yong'er come to Daddy, this sister is also hungry, come here."

Mingchen's words were a little more harsh.

Mei'er put down the empty bowl, wiped her mouth for the child, and said with a smile: "What your father said is right, children can't eat too much at once." ”

The Emperor handed another bowl of porridge to Mei'er, and by the way, he took the child who was tired of Mei'er's side with one hand and put it beside him: "Eat it quickly, the porridge is cold." ”

The child babbled reluctantly, crawled up to Mei'er, and sat down next to her.

"What's the child's name?"

"Chenyong, eternal—eternal, eternal."

"Chenyong?"

"Well, do you like the name? This is a big name, and you can give him a nickname. ”

Mei'er stuffed another mouthful of porridge for the child, and listened to the old grandmothers in the house say that the child would walk away to play when he was full, and now this Xiao Chenyong was still looking at the porridge bowl in his hand and swallowing saliva, obviously not eating enough.

Xiao Chenyong happily swallowed the porridge, and his small mouth went to the porridge bowl again, Mei'er couldn't help but regret: "How much does your father feed you each time?" Isn't it only half-full at every meal? ”

Xiao Chenyong stared at a pair of pure and innocent eyes and nodded honestly.

Mingchen shouted: "How can you see how good he looks, raising a child needs to bring three points of hunger and cold, so that he can raise a hard-boned man When you are not there, I am"

Xiao Chenyong suddenly burped loudly, Mei'er gently patted the child's back to smooth him, and said with a smile: "This is full." ”

Mingchen looked at her thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "It's really strange that you, a deep young lady, are so familiar with bringing up children." ”

Mei'er slowly stirred the porridge with a spoon, and her face couldn't help but show surprise: "What you said is also true, I also think it's a little strange, my two brothers are not married, and there are no children in the house, but looking at your little son, I feel very fond of it."

"Have you ever thought that this is an instinct?"

Mei'er's face burned slightly, her body was slightly sideways, and she buried her head in drinking porridge.

Mingchen said carefully: "Or is it a mother's instinct?" ”

Mei'er frowned, and was about to refute, but Xiao Chenyong had already crawled over, hugged her arm with both hands, and shouted in a milky voice: "Niangniang, kiss, hug." ”

She involuntarily held the child in her arms again, and this feeling was very strange, especially when the child looked at her with those big watery eyes, she sincerely felt a thousand kinds of pity.

Mingchen reached over and carried the child back, and the child cried and broke free from his father's hand, and crawled back to Mei'er.

"Get out of the way, let him sit next to me."

“”

"Why don't you eat it?"

"I'm not hungry, you eat"

He couldn't care if he was hungry Mei'er, but she was really hungry, this time the child was very well-behaved, just lying beside her, raising her head to look at her, Mei'er touched the child's head, and said with a smile: "You are good, my sister will play with you after eating porridge"

Xiao Chenyong seemed to understand her words, his bright eyes dimmed, he hung his head and hugged her thighs.

She just buried her head in drinking porridge, and didn't bother to pay attention to the strange man Mingchen who was sitting on the edge of the bed with an affectionate face.

After eating porridge, there was a little Chenyong who was crawling around on the bed between the two, Mei'er held her head and looked at the child for a while, and faintly felt that it was not appropriate to sit down like this, so she stood up and gave a salute to Mingchen, and said: "Childe, I want to go out for a walk, or, if you have time at the moment, please send a letter to my father as soon as possible, and ask him to send someone to take me home." ”

Mingchen picked up his son who climbed to the side of the bed with one hand and said casually: "Ah, do you want to go out for a walk?" Fortunately, it is getting dark, can this news be postponed until tomorrow? ”

Mei'er turned her eyes to look at the window, the sunlight was blocked by the cyan curtains, she didn't know the time, but there was still dazzling sunlight leaking in, but after two teas, was it already dusk?

She walked to the window, lifted the curtains, and sure enough, it was a heavy twilight as far as she could see, and she said to herself, "Why did I think it was morning so soon?" ”

Mingchen looked at her back with a smile, and gently patted his son's chubby little feet with his big hand.

Mei'er hesitated, this time is naturally not good to nag others to go down the mountain to deliver letters, but she can be under the same roof with this person, and she feels a little inappropriate in her heart.

She thought for a moment, turned around and asked in a low voice, "Is there any other room in Childe's house?" ”

Mingchen shook his head: "No, this is the only one." ”

Mei'er pursed her lips gently, approached the wooden door, stretched out her hand, the wooden door creaked and slid open, outside was a living room, there were several cases with wooden benches, she was happy in her heart, and she was about to step out of the threshold.

When her foot touched the threshold, she hesitated for a moment and turned around and said, "Master Mingchen, may I ask where my shoes are?" ”

Mingchen stretched out his hand in his arms, took out a pair of embroidered shoes with lotus embroidered surface, and said with a smile: "But this pair? ”

Mei'er's face was flushed, she approached quickly, took the embroidered shoes in her hand, walked a few steps in the direction of the wooden door, turned her back, and bent down to put the shoes on.

"Yesterday, your dress, shoes and socks were all soaked, I washed them once, they have been dried over the fire, and now you feel comfortable wearing them?"

Mei'er whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "I know, don't mention this matter again." After a pause, she whispered again, "Comfortable, thank you." ”

She didn't dare to look back, so she went straight to the living room and sat down next to a few desks, the windows in the living room were open, the night breeze was cool, and the sweet fragrance of flowers swept into the room.

There is no candle flame on several cases, but it is not dark, Mei'er looks left and right, this house is all made of logs, the rough bark on the wood is clearly visible, you can be in it, you don't feel simple and poor, but on the contrary, it is filled with a simple mellow atmosphere, which makes people feel peaceful and indisputable.

"Are you looking for a light?"

There was steady footsteps behind him, and the man in green clothes, Mingchen, walked out of the inner room with Xiao Chenyong in his arms.

"Hmm."

"Look up and look at the roof."

Mei'er looked up as she said, and there was a flame-shaped glass lamp hanging on the roof, and the soft light of the veins radiated from the middle of the lamp, spilling into the living room through the pale cyan glass.

"Oh, it's beautiful."

Mingchen hugged Xiao Chenyong to the other side of the case, and put his son on the case, as soon as the child took off his father's hand, he immediately climbed to Mei'er, stretched out his little fat hand, and shouted: "Niangniang, kiss and hug." ”

Mei'er smiled and nodded Xiao Chenyong's face, and said softly: "I'm not your mother, you just call me sister." ”

Xiao Chenyong grabbed Mei'er's sleeves with both hands, his little face was pitifully twisted, and he shouted unrelentingly: "Niangniang, kiss and hug." ”

Mei'er was quite helpless and said to Mingchen, who was sitting opposite, with a leisurely face: "Master Mingchen, you"

Mingchen lowered his eyes and looked at several cases, and sighed in a low voice: "The child is small and ignorant, he has not really gotten along with his mother since he was born, and when he sees you at this moment, he will inevitably become attached to it." ”

Mei'er was extremely shocked and wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing that his face was gloomy, and she was afraid of arousing his sad memories, she gently stroked the back of the child's hand and said, "But I'm not his mother, what about this child's mother?" Didn't you just say that she was among the guests? This"

Xiao Chenyong took advantage of the gap between the two to talk, and he turned over and threw himself into Mei'er's arms, Mei'er could only hold him on his lap with both hands, and said with a smile: "Oh, you kid is really weird."
