A mournful cry overflowed from his purple-black lips, "Zhenzhen! Then, he jerked himself to his feet and pounced on Becky.

Xiaobei was startled, and hurriedly hid behind Zhang Zijing, stretched out her head in horror to look at this crazy old man, and asked, "Grandma, who is this person?" ”

Zhang Zijing helped her father-in-law and said, "Dad, go in and talk!" ”

Father Mu's hands and feet trembled, his lips trembled, and his eyes looked at Zhang Zijing longingly and desolately, "Is it Zhen Zhen?" It's a ......."

"It's Vera back!" When Zhang Zijing saw him like this, she still couldn't bear the pain in her heart, and tears quietly slipped down.

Minglang stared at this old man, who was already very old, and the memory that this old man gave her was painfully vivid, and for a while, whenever she thought of him, she would cry in fright. For three years in a row, she would also be awakened in her dreams, and in her dreams, she saw him beating her with a stick.

It's just that at this moment, seeing the longing and pain in his eyes, the fear and shadow in his heart have gradually dissipated, and in the end, the blood is connected to the heart, especially now that her resentment has disappeared, everything should be made a thing of the past.

She stretched out her hand to help him and shouted bitterly, "Grandpa! ”

Father Mu turned his head to look at her in a hurry, with doubts in his eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Vera!" There was a trace of tears flashing in the bright eyes, before Mu Yi died, her grandfather was very good to her, and she was almost brought by her grandfather to the age of five.

"You're not, she's who!" Father Mu wanted to rush over and hug Xiaobei, Xiaobei was extremely afraid, his eyes flashed, and he wanted to hit him, and said sharply: "Xiaobei, looking for death?" ”

Xiaobei was frightened and immediately shrank behind Zhang Zijing.

"Why are you scolding me?" Father Mu's face suddenly became fierce, "What are you?" You dare to scold my granddaughter? I'll beat you to death! He staggered, and when he reached the door, he grabbed a stick the thickness of a baby's arm, and then turned sharply and raised it at Minglang.

The familiar and terrifying memory suddenly came through time and space, Minglang only felt cold all over, her body trembled slightly, tears swirled in her eyes, she endured it to prevent it from falling, if it weren't for a trace of strength to support her in the bottom of her heart, she would almost have knelt down like before and asked him not to hit her.

The stick in Mu's father's hand did not fall on Minglang's body, he looked at Minglang's tearful eyes in a daze, as well as the frightened look on her face, the stick in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he sang in his mouth: "Moonlight, shine on the ground, Zhenzi, you obediently train yourself to get out of bed, listen to Grandma to rush to plant seedlings, Grandpa watched the cow and went to the hill... Zhenzi, you're about to grow up, and Grandpa Helper is going to see the cattle and sheep..."

This song, which is well-known here, is used by the elderly to lull children to sleep. And when he was a child, Father Mu used this song to coax the Zhen Zai in his mouth to sleep. There is a very strange custom in the village, if a boy is born, he will call the boy's milk name Ah Mei, so that God will not be jealous, and then the boy will grow up smoothly. And when a girl is born, the word "boy" is usually added to the back, which means that I hope that the girl can grow up to be as promising as a boy in the future.

Zhang Zijing is from the city, so she never calls her Zhen Zhen like this to Father Mu, and never allows Father Mu to call Zhen Zhen like this, so every time Mu Father sings and calls her Zhen Zai when he sleeps.

Minglang sang with him in tears: "Moonlight, shine on the ground, Zhenzai, you obediently train yourself to get out of bed, listen to grandma to catch shrimp, grandma to weave until the light of day... You're growing up, and you're even more good at rowing......"

Zhang Zijing burst into tears when she heard this, her heart was sad, Zhen Yang reached out to hug her, and her voice was slightly choked, "Mom, don't be sad, this is a happy thing!" ”

"You are Zhen Zhen, you are Zhen Zhen...... Father Mu's eyes bloomed with a glint of light, he took Ming Lang's hand, and his withered old face burst out with great joy, but then he cried like a child, "Do you hate Grandpa?" You must hate me! ”。

Minglang looked at this old man who was too old, and couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, took his cold hand, and entered the house together.

The furnishings in the house seem to be when she was a child, she knew that the house was rebuilt, and she vaguely heard that it was her grandfather who blamed himself too much after she left, set fire to everything, and planned to **. Fortunately, the neighbors found out early, otherwise, the people would have been gone.

The old man next to him followed her like a child, his feet were not good, he walked a little slowly, and muttered in his mouth, "Do you hate Grandpa?" ……”

Minglang helped him sit down, squatting in front of him, thousands of emotions flashed in her heart, and finally, she shook her head, "Don't hate!" ”

Father Mu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly hid his face and cried!

This crying can't be persuaded by anyone. Zhang Zijing said to Minglang: "Let him cry, he has been depressed for more than 20 years, and he has been in a daze for more than 20 years, but he is very clear about your affairs, so he is also sad and sad for more than 20 years, and now he is happy to see you come back and see you well!" ”

Minglang nodded, feeling unspeakably sad in his heart. Looking at the familiar furnishings at home, many sweet and painful memories of her life are here, five years old, there shouldn't be many memories, but she is so profound, I don't know if this is a blessing or persistence.

Father Mu has been reluctant to let go of Minglang's hand, and has been pulling her, crying and calling her name. Zhen Yang, who is also a man, couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, squatted down gently and hugged Minglang, and said in her ear: "No matter what hurdles you can't get over in your heart, if you want to let go, you should also let go!" ”

Minglang leaned his head on his chest, greedily sucking the temperature in his arms, and his heart was so sad that he was a mess.

After Father Mu finished crying, he didn't ask her what had happened over the years, he actually knew in his heart, she must have had a bad life, a child who lost her parents, and wandered alone, what good life would she have? He didn't dare to ask, for fear that if he asked, it would be another sad thing.

He wiped his tears, stood up, and muttered: "You like to eat zongzi, I'll make zongzi!" ”

"Dad, don't toss, there are zongzi sold outside!" Zhang Zijing couldn't bear his hard work and persuaded.

"Sold outside, where is the delicious food of my bag? All sitting, sitting, I'll ask my second sister-in-law to get some zongzi leaves, she has a lot of them at home! As he spoke, his legs walked out very quickly.

Zhang Zijing wanted to chase her out, but Zhen Yang grabbed her and said, "Mom, let him go, don't let him do something, he feels uncomfortable!" ”

Zhang Zijing looked at Zhen Yang in a daze, Zhen Yang's words pierced her heart, and she was a little frightened all of a sudden, because Zhen Yang was talking about the old man, but at the same time, he was talking about her. Ever since Vera returned, she had been trying to do something to make up for her, but she didn't know what she could do. The old man can make zongzi, but what can she do?

In my heart, I suddenly remembered that four years ago, Zhen Yang came to tell her that Minglang could donate bone marrow to Zhenzhen, but asked her to cook a meal for her and eat with her. At that time, she thought that Minglang was deliberately humiliating her, but she had ever thought that her hard-working little daughter just wanted to have a meal with her, although she hated this incompetent mother so much in her heart, but in her heart she still longed for the tenderness and companionship from her mother.

The pain in her heart was almost uncontrollable, she raised her head in a hurry, snuggled up in Zhen Yang's arms in a hurry, looking at everything in this room, with a look of lost soul on her face, the pain in her heart was even worse, here, it should have been the cradle of her happy growth, but it became a memory of her pain.

Any mother who learns that her daughter will curl up in the bed every night, crying and calling out for her parents, and then what awaits her will be a beating with a stick, and the mother will be heartbroken.

"Grandma, why are you crying again?" Xiao Bei took Zhang Zijing's hand, her little face full of worry.

Zhang Zijing's emotions suddenly collapsed in Xiaobei's soft voice, she squatted on the ground all of a sudden, hugged Xiaobei, and cried: "Grandma is sad, as long as grandma thinks of what her mother has suffered over the years, grandma's heart is as uncomfortable as being cut by a knife!" ”

Minglang looked at her in a daze, all the memories of these years came to her heart, she felt that her eyes were very painful, I don't know if it was eye pain or heart pain, maybe it was a headache, and her heart was so sour that she felt that a bunch of sour water would overflow even if she had a thought.

Father Mu went to borrow zongzi leaves, borrowed glutinous rice, proudly walked around the village, and told anyone he met, "My granddaughter is back, my granddaughter is back!" ”

The women's director of the village family planning office is a classmate of Mu Yi, and she has also come to take care of Mu's father over the years, and today she visited the village, Mu's father pulled her, crying and laughing: "Alain, let me tell you, my family Zhenzhen is back!" ”

Alan looked worried, pulled Father Mu and said, "Uncle, where are you going?" Come home, it's cold, don't run around! "Over the years, Mu's father has not been very conscious, but it is the first time that he has told people that his granddaughter has come back on the street like this time. Therefore, Alain thought that he was confused again, and was afraid that something would happen to him if he ran away, so he persuaded him to go back.

"Alain, it's true, Zijing brought Zhen Zhen back, Zijing said that she is Zhen Zhen, and she is at home!" Seeing that she didn't believe it, Father Mu raised his eyebrows and danced with his hands.

Alan frowned, although it was said that Zijing came back occasionally, but the old man had always been reluctant to talk to her, and he would get angry even when he heard her name, but now he actually had a mouthful of Zijing, which made people suspicious.

Isn't there a liar? Who hasn't been there these days? Probably someone knows that he has a lot of money, so he is greedy, right? No, she had to expose the liar.

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Zijing brought it back?" That's great, show me there! ”

"Okay, but I'm going to buy black sesame seeds first, Zhen Zhen likes to eat zongzi, I asked my second aunt for glutinous rice and zongzi leaves, and now I'm going to buy black sesame seeds and pork, as well as five-spice powder, zongzi is not delicious without five-spice powder, you go first, wait for me at home, I'll buy it...... Hey, no, I didn't bring any money, Alain, do you have any money? ”

Seeing that he was incoherent, Alan felt that he was confused, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I have money, I will accompany you to buy, I am just going to buy something!" ”

"Good, good!" Father Mu took Alain and left.

After buying the things, Alan and Father Mu walked home, and Father Mu was chattering about Zhen Zhen all the way, with a radiant look on his face.
