Chapter 14 Commitments
My heart sank, and I hurriedly pricked up my ears and listened carefully. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is Yu'er's voice. I hurriedly walked in the direction of the cry, and happened to meet Yueying walking towards me, holding Yu'er in her arms.
I wondered, why did the big one just finish crying here, and the little one came to cry? What did Yueying and Yu'er say?
I walked up to them in a few steps, and Yu'er's small face was full of pear blossoms and rain, and she was still crying out with her mouth open.
Yueying looked at me anxiously. I put my hand on the back of Yu'er's head, stroked it gently, looked at Yueying and said, "What's wrong with Yu'er?" Why do you cry so much? ”
Yueying shook her head and said, "It was Fangyan who brought the little lady to find Yueying, and Yueying couldn't coax the little lady, so she had to take it to find Zhuniang." ”
I took Yu'er and held her in my arms, and she lay down at my neck and still couldn't stop crying. Although I was anxious, I thought that I couldn't ask her anything for a while, as long as she didn't have anything else, so I hugged her and followed Yueying back to the room.
Yueying brought a basin of hot water, and I wiped Yu'er's tear-stained face with a soaked towel. Her eyes were swollen, her nose and mouth were red, and she was slumped into my arms, looking heartbroken.
I held her little hand and asked her, "Yu'er, have you eaten osmanthus cake tonight?" ”
She nodded, but didn't speak.
I asked again, "Is the osmanthus cake delicious?" ”
She nodded at first, then shook her head vigorously, her mouth pursed, as if she was about to cry again.
Because I haven't raised children, I don't have a lot of experience as a mother. I only know that she is very sad, but I can't guess where her heartache is. Seeing that she was about to cry again, he immediately hugged her and shook her, comforting: "Yu'er doesn't cry." "If I cry again, my heart will break.
After tossing and turning repeatedly for a long time at night, I couldn't ask her why she was crying. Yueying said that she was going to find Fangyan, but I stopped her and said, it's so late, it's better not to make a big deal out of it. As a result, this night, Yu'er slept in my room.
When she woke up the next morning, she returned to her usual state like she was nothing. When Yueying helped me with my hair, she also rushed to use a comb to help me comb my hair. It's good that she's fine, but the reason why she cried her nose last night still has to be figured out.
When it was time for breakfast, Fang Yan came to pick her up, and I told Fang Yan to let her bring breakfast to my room. Fang Yan brought porridge and side dishes to my room, and I asked her about last night.
Fang Yan looks young, but his words and deeds are very stable and mature. She stood respectfully in front of me, her head bowed and her eyebrows bowed. Whatever I asked, she answered sincerely. Regarding last night's incident, she replied like this: "I don't know. When asked again, she replied, "The slave really doesn't know." ”
I took a sip of porridge, glad that Yueying was not in the room at this time, if she heard such an answer, she would not be moved. Yu'er sat at the table, holding a small spoon and laboriously putting porridge into her mouth spoonful by spoonful.
I changed my strategy and asked her, "Who were in the house last night?" You always know that, right? ”
She said: "When Fangyan left, the little lady was alone in the house, and when Fangyan returned to the house, the little lady was standing not far from the house, already crying. ”
I was stunned and asked, "What did you do when you left the house?" ”
"The little lady said that her mouth was dry and she wanted to drink water, and Fang Yan went to the kitchen to get hot tea."
This statement is really leaky. I was not good at dealing with some of the trivial matters of the parents, and by this time the question had reached an impasse, and I had reached the point where I had nothing to ask.
Seeing that I didn't ask any more, Fang Yan knelt on the ground and said, "The slave is responsible for dereliction of duty, please ask the young lady to cure the crime of dereliction of duty of the slave." ”
I was stunned for a moment by this act of voluntary plea. In ancient times, Lian was quite guilty, and Lin Xiangru forgave him. In this situation, should I learn to be similar?
After thinking for a moment, I said to her, "Get up." ”
She paused, got up from the ground, and still stood respectfully in front of me, her head bowed.
I said again: "Yu'er is still young, thanks to your care on weekdays, in the future, you will need to bother to watch her." Since you have received this responsibility, you must fulfill it well. I can cure you for dereliction of duty, but does that guarantee that it won't happen again? I paused and continued: "I don't think you look like a hairy maid, you need to be careful and careful in taking care of children, and if you use these two things in the future, you can avoid such a thing." ”
She bowed and said, "Follow the teachings of the young lady." ”
I glanced out the door and said, "It's not early, you don't need to eat, go ahead." ”
She bowed again, and turned to go out.
Yu'er suddenly put down the spoon and said to me, "Yu'er doesn't like Sister Fangyan. She doesn't like to laugh, and every time Yu'er squats by the pond to play in the water, she says, 'Come back, you'll fall into the water'. As she spoke, Yu'er pursed her lips and made a serious gesture.
I smiled, and she exclaimed, "And oh, every time Yu'er looks for little ants in the garden, she says, 'Come back, you'll get your hands dirty.'" ”
In the end, Yu'er concluded: "Anyway, she is not as fun as Aunt Yue." ”
When I saw that she was lively, I tried to ask her, "Why did Yu'er cry last night?" ”
She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, then looked up at me and said, "Yu'er wants to go to her mother." "A pair of watery eyes.
I wondered, "Looking for me?" So why cry? Is it because you can't find it? ”
"No," Yu'er shook her head, "there are two sisters talking outside the house, and they say that the mother will leave the house and leave Yu'er, just like in that play." ”
I understood why she was crying, and I asked her, "What kind of play is that?" ”
She scratched the back of her head, thought for a long time, and said, "Yu'er forgot." ”
I touched her little face and said, "What is said in the play is false, how can Yu'er take it seriously?" ”
She looked at me quietly for a while and said, "That mother won't leave Yu'er, will she?" ”
I thought of Zhu Shuzhen's future life, and I suddenly felt a pain in my heart. Whether it's as Zhu Shuzhen or as Wanchun, I can't give her a firm answer. But she looked at me with anticipation in her eyes, like I was the only person in the world I could rely on.
I choked in my throat, struggled for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Yes." Then he took her into his arms and said, "My mother will not leave Yu'er, she will accompany Yu'er for a long, long time." ”
The eyes are a little sour, and the vision is blurry. I don't know what to do next, but for the sake of Yu'er and Yueying, I think I'll do my best to stay with them as long as I can.
