Chapter 15: The Pillars of Silence

At dinner, Xiao Wu's grasp that the three of them went up the mountain today and did not work at home is another difficulty, the family finished eating in silence, and even the hibiscus who was scolded for losing money did not open her mouth to refute, she was too tired, and she didn't want to worry about Xiao Wu's who was just a few scolding words over and over again, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.

After eating and doing the housework, the family sat in a circle in the room, peeled off the prickly shell of the burr ball, and took out the chestnuts inside.

Xiao Mu straightened her waist, hammered it a few times with her hand and said, "I've lived for such a long time, and I didn't know that there was this thing in this burr ball, it's really a long experience." ”

"Mother, this thing is called chestnut, and I only know this thing with the knowledge taught by the master." Mu Hibiscus put down the burr ball in her hand and came to Xiao Mu's back to hammer her back.

"No, if it weren't for a benefactor, we would normally pay attention to see if there was anything in this thing full of thorns. Jin'er's father's waist is also sore, why do you only give your mother a hammer. Saying that, Father Xiao straightened his waist decently.

"Daddy, didn't I come here to hammer you, so a master is a master, otherwise how can you be called a master if you are as shallow as we ordinary people." Xiao's mother gave Mu Hibiscus a look and signaled to Xiao's father, and Mu Hibiscus went over to hammer Xiao Chengren's back.

Mu Hibiscus praised his wit in his heart, if he hadn't pulled out the banner of being a master, how many lies would he have to tell for the knowledge brought by modern times, and how many brain cells would have to be spent.

"Hahaha, yes, if a master is like us mortals, is it still called a master. Jin'er, have you also been taught by a master, why is it so good now? Father Xiao comfortably enjoyed the massage of the hibiscus, and felt that his daughter's massage skills had been greatly improved, so he asked curiously.

"Well, what the master taught me, how comfortable is it!" Hearing this, Mu Hibiscus proudly replied to Xiao Chengren, thinking that although she majored in agriculture in her previous life, she also majored in a minor major, and she also learned some miscellaneous health care bits and pieces. This massage is to learn from the chief masseur of a private club for almost half a year, although it is not very professional, but it has also achieved initial results.

Xiao Chengren put down the work in his hand at the request of Mu Hibiscus, relaxed his body, closed his eyes in enjoyment, and replied, "Well, it's comfortable." ”

The candlestick on the table suddenly exploded, waking up the hibiscus who was immersed in the memory, and looked down to see that Xiao Chengren had leaned back in the chair and snorted slightly.

Looking at Xiao Chengren's haggard face, the blue and black crescent moon under his eyes, Mu Hibiscus's heart hurt irrepressibly like a cocoon, thinking that after the accident, Xiao's father must be sad in his heart, on one side is his parents and brothers, and on the other hand is his wife and children, and his parents who have always admired him still treat him like this.

Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but think of the heavy rain that night, the blood in his mother's hand and the blood-stained knife that night, looking at the sleeping Xiao Chengren, Mu Hibiscus was a soft mess, reflecting on whether he had pushed him too hard, and brought the thin quilt on the bed to cover Xiao's father lightly.

Mother Xiao looked at the sleeping Xiao Chengren, tears flashed in her eyes, and she confided in the two brothers and sisters, "Since Jin'er told you about your grandmother and Zhang Gongzi last time, your father has not slept well all night, and I often wake up in the middle of the night to hear your father sighing around in the yard." He is the pillar of this family, and I can't say the pain in my heart, I feel distressed to see your father like this. ”

Mu Hibiscus looked at Xiao's father in a complicated way, and said distressedly, "Grandma treats Dad like this, Dad feels uncomfortable, he can't say it, he can only keep it in his heart, and Dad is not easy." ”

Sadness, confusion, and silence enveloped this small room, and the mother and son peeled the shell of the burr ball on their hands, but their thoughts did not know where to fly into which dark end.

The heart of the candle on the table burned slowly, crackling and popping from time to time, and the candle was slowly melted by the flame on the heart of the candle, and then a string of pale and hot tears flowed.

When the candle was half-lit, and the moon with a missing corner hanging high overhead, Xiao Muchen finished peeling off the last burr ball, and said "Mother" at a loss...... This ......"

"Flutter, hahaha......" Seeing his own brother so cute, Hibiscus couldn't help laughing.

Xiao's mother was also amused by Xiao Muchen, and said with a smile, "Okay, look at your stupidity, go to sleep, don't you have to go to the city tomorrow?" Don't be unable to get up tomorrow morning. ”

After helping her mother clean up the room, Hibiscus stood in the courtyard and looked up at the bright moon, feeling that the moon that was missing a corner was also very beautiful.

In the previous life, I liked the full moon completely, and I especially liked things that were complete and complete when I felt that my life was imperfect, but now my mentality has changed in my two lives, and I feel that this incomplete moon also has a special kind of incomplete beauty. Epiphany in my heart, life is like the moon, people have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and sometimes there is no shortage of regretful life is a wonderful life.
