Chapter 10: The Return
As soon as Xia He left, the house was even more deserted. The courtyard, which used to be slightly crowded, is now empty.
The old woman seemed to be afraid of this coldness, and asked someone to accompany her all the time, and as long as she walked away for a short while, she would shout.
As soon as the winter is over, the work in the fields will be done, who has the leisure time to accompany the old woman. Chen Suyun had no choice but to move all the needlework to the old woman's house, talking to her and doing work.
"Tuk tuk" someone knocked on the door.
"I don't know who's coming, I'll open the door." Chen Suyun said to the old woman.
The old woman closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and snorted in her mouth to indicate that she understood.
"Who?" While asking, Chen Suyun opened the door.
A man stood at the door at a loss.
"Lu Peng? What are you doing here? Chen Suyun was also a little surprised, and subconsciously lowered his voice and asked.
"I'm coming for you...... Autumn leaves and autumn flowers are now in my house. Lu Peng said.
"How is it at your house?" Chen Suyun was stunned.
Lu Peng continued: "I went to the mountain to see if there was any prey, and when I came down the mountain, I found the two of them on the path, and I wanted to bring them back, but they were not happy. So I took them to my house, and my mother was eating them both. ”
"Suyun, who. Why did you talk for so long and not invite you to sit in the house? The old woman began to urge.
"Autumn leaves and autumn flowers are back, I'll pick them up. You'll be at home by yourself. Chen Suyun turned around and shouted.
The old woman coughed a few times: "Then you come back quickly." ”
Chen Suyun closed the wooden door and followed Lu Peng to Lu's house.
The people of the village met them on the road, and their eyes were a little strange. Chen Suyun was worried about her two daughters and didn't care about them. Lu Peng noticed that he was thick-skinned, so he couldn't see it.
"Eat more, eat slowly." Grandma Lu looked at the two little girls with a smile.
"Autumn leaves and autumn flowers!" Seeing this, Chen Suyun shouted.
Autumn leaves and autumn flowers put down the chopsticks in shock, and autumn leaves swallowed a little anxiously and choked.
Grandma Lu was so busy that she gave water to Autumn Leaves to drink.
"Mother." The two little girls got down from their stools and shouted quietly. The face is dirty, and the clothes are a little frayed, and it looks so pitiful.
Chen Suyun wanted to ask what was going on, but now that she was at someone else's house, it was difficult to ask.
"Autumn leaves and autumn flowers, have you eaten well? After eating, say thank you to Grandma Lu and go back with your mother. Chen Suyun said.
Autumn leaves and autumn flowers walked to Chen Suyun's side, and one of them took the hand: "We've eaten, mother." ”
"Thank you, Grandma Lu, goodbye, Grandma Lu." The two little girls said goodbye sweetly.
Grandma Lu smiled: "Come and play more." ”
On the way back, for some reason, Chen Suyun cried, and the hand holding her daughter became tighter and tighter.
"Mother, it hurts." Akiba spoke up.
"I'm sorry, my mother is distracted." Chen Suyun hurriedly let go, "Are you all right?" ”
"It's fine."
After walking for a while, Qiuhua glanced at Chen Suyun and whispered, "Mother, I and Qiuye will be obedient in the future." Don't chase me and Akiba away, okay? ”
"Why is my mother willing to drive you away? What are you thinking? Chen Suyun pretended to scold, "My mother hasn't asked you yet, why did you two come back?" What about Auntie? ”
"Auntie is at home...... We heard my aunt and my husband talking last night. We said that we would call them daddy in the future...... But we didn't want to, so we came back. ”
Chen Suyun felt even more uncomfortable when she said this, let's be more bitter, my daughter said that she shouldn't send it out.
"That's right. However, you heard it wrong, mother, I am ready to let you recognize your aunt and aunt-in-law as godfathers and godmothers. Two more people hurt. I'm still your mother. Chen Suyun said.
"Really?" The eyes of the autumn leaves and autumn flowers lit up.
"Really!" Chen Suyun nodded vigorously.
"So, will we be able to stay at home in the future?" Akiba asked, tilting her head.
Chen Suyun smiled: "Silly girl, where do you live if you don't live at home." However, you will have to go to my aunt's house with me and apologize to her. came back without saying a word, and my aunt should be in a hurry if she can't find you. ”
In the end, I didn't go to Chen Guixiang's house.
Chen Guixiang took the little girls' luggage to Ge's house first, and was chatting with the old woman.
"Auntie, I'm sorry." Autumn leaves and autumn flowers said.
"Okay, what are you sorry for?" Chen Guixiang touched the heads of the two little girls, they are all good children, but unfortunately, they have nothing to do with themselves.
"It's my aunt who should say I'm sorry, I know you're homesick, so I should send you back early." Chen Guixiang said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, it's dirty. Go back to the house and rest first, and my mother will boil water for you later, and take a good bath. ”
Chen Suyun sent the autumn leaves and autumn flowers back to the house, and took Chen Guixiang to the kitchen to boil water, mainly to avoid the old woman.
"Sister..."
"Don't talk about it. Alas, I also figured it out, I'm the aunt of Autumn Leaves and Autumn Flowers. Chen Guixiang looked lonely.
"This fate is all determined by heaven, and there are no children in my life, what can I do."
"Sister, I want Autumn Leaves and Autumn Flowers to recognize you and your brother-in-law as godfathers and godmothers. In the future, you will have a share of all filial piety. Chen Suyun said.
"What to do with filial piety? I don't want this, I just want someone to call me a mother. Chen Guixiang said, "Godmother is also a mother, you see, God didn't treat me too harshly." ”
Chen Guixiang is spicy and refreshing, and the bad feelings will not stay on her for too long, and after a while, she will be relieved from the sad atmosphere.
"I'll go back first. I'm always worried at home. Chen Guixiang said.
Chen Suyun sent Chen Guixiang to the door, and just as he wanted to go home, he saw a black head poking out behind a tree.
"Lu Peng, why haven't you left yet?"
"I, I'm worried, so I'll come and have a look." Lu Peng said, "I'll go back." ”
Chen Suyun ignored him, turned his head and entered the door, and closed the door with a "clang".
I have too much pressure in my heart, and I find someone to vent my temper.
Dongdong and Chunhua came back and saw their two younger sisters, and they were also very happy.
"Mother, you don't know. When Autumn Leaves and Autumn Flowers went to her aunt's house, Xia He also said that you were going to send them away. It's true, I believe all the bluffs. At the dinner table, Chunhua said with a smile.
"Mother won't send us away! The second sister loves to talk nonsense! Akiba hurriedly answered.
God knows, how sad she was with Autumn Flower when she knew they were going to be sent away. Fortunately, I heard it wrong.
"Yes, yes, your second sister loves to talk nonsense." Chunhua pinched Qiuhua's nose.
"Oh, eldest sister, it's what Akiba said, what are you pinching me for." Autumn Flower frowned.
Forehead...... Autumn leaves and autumn flowers look similar, except that autumn leaves have one more mole in the left ear than autumn flowers. If you don't look closely, you can't see it.
