Chapter 247: Uncovering the Background and Seeing the Sky
The sun was already red, and the nest of swallows on the eaves seemed to be together. The couple is cocking their tails, telling the babies stories that happened during the day.
The orchid ran into the tiger house, and the two of them were like sparrows, "chattering" and laughing.
Listening to the laughter of the children, Shuzhen tirelessly made a few cold dishes and mixed noodles with spicy skin and pork noodles that they all loved.
After everything was ready, Shuzhen hesitated whether it was too early to boil water, afraid that Xiangzi would not come back for a while, and she would have to boil it again.
In my ignorance, I suddenly heard Shoko's footsteps. He poked his head out happily and shouted, "I'm down, come and wash your hands and eat." Before the words came out, he saw Xiangzi followed by a white woman with an elegant temperament and a well-proportioned figure.
Shuzhen hurriedly greeted her with a puzzled face. Before Shuzhen could speak, the woman took a step forward generously, took Shuzhen's hand, and said enthusiastically: "It's Shuzhen's sister, right?" I'm your sister Juanzi. ”
Shuzhen was really shocked, opened her mouth in a daze, and didn't say anything. A pair of surprised eyes fixed on Shoko's silently smiling face.
Before Xiangzi could speak, he said with a little childishness, "Mom!" "Broke the whole deadlock. The air around him suddenly came alive.
Seeing the mother and son hugging each other and making love for a while, Shuzhen seemed to suddenly wake up from her dream, and shouted with a smile on her face: "Come into the house!" Come inside! I'm going to go down there. With that, he turned and walked towards the room.
The same meal, but among the lively and happy table of people, only Shuzhen did not eat the original taste.
Somehow, on weekdays, I always hope that Xiangzi can find Sister Juanzi and the family will have a reunion. But when people really came to the door, they suddenly seemed to be halfway soaked in cold water, and there was a cool breeze in their hearts.
After eating, everyone gossiped for a while, Juanzi looked at Shuzhen gently, and said, "Let them quarrel, my sister will go out with me." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and got off the kang. Huzi muttered a little squeamishly, "Mom, or I'll go with you, right?" My godmother is tired all day. ”
Juanzi glanced at Shuzhen inquiringly, and before she could speak, Shuzhen hurriedly smiled and said, "I haven't done any work, what are you tired of?" Look at your unweaned appearance, the days to come will be long, and there will be times when you are slimy. With that, he enthusiastically took Juanzi's hand and went out.
In Fuyuan City at night, except for the houses without courtyard walls, the dim oil lights were faintly flickering, and the streets were a hazy gray.
Occasionally, a bright spot is approaching, and it is also a faint but deep blue light emitted by the eyes of wild dogs that sneak out of the night in search of food.
Shuzhen knew that Juanzi had something to say to herself, so she didn't go down the street, but went directly to an old elm tree not far from her home. Shuzhen wiped the stone bench with her sleeve, helped Juanzi sit down, and sat silently beside Juanzi.
Juanzi sighed softly, reached out to hold Shuzhen's slightly cold hand, and put it in her arms. He said in a calm tone: "Let's put the matter of our adults first, and talk about the children first." ”
So, he told how he resisted marriage back then, how he made a private agreement with Xiangzi for life, and how Xiangzi was killed, and he failed to find his relatives and became a bandit.
Before that, he said with great emotion: "I didn't expect that Creation was so tricky, and let these two dolls meet together." ”
When Shuzhen heard this, she shouted in panic like thunder: "Hu Da! I really thank the Lord for his protection, if you don't come tonight, I plan to talk to Orchid about their marriage at night, you see if it hangs! ”
Juanzi sighed lightly and said, "I'm afraid that the two children are already angry and want to hurt the children." ”
Shuzhen took a long breath and said, "So far, I can't take care of those." The orchid hasn't had time to say anything, although I can see that the orchid likes the tiger, but the orchid is very arrogant when it is small. Even if I know the truth, I won't be looking for death and life, but Huzi makes me feel at ease. The baby is sincere, doesn't talk much, and everything is left in her heart. Last month, I told him about the orchid, and it seems that he is quite happy. The poor baby's heart has only been hot for a few days, so she poured cold water on her. ”
Juanzi sighed lightly and said, "I'll talk about Huzi, the girl in the orchid has to worry a lot." ”
As he spoke, he gently stroked Shuzhen's shoulder and said, "It's cold outside, let's go back to the house." ”
Things are not as disturbing as imagined. Juanzi put her arms around Xiaohu's shoulders, and told her how she played with Xiangzi when she was a child, how Xiangzi loved and cared for her, and later, her father disliked Xiangzi, had no home, no mouth and no property, and did not agree to their marriage, and insisted on marrying herself to a ruffian. In desperation, he made a private agreement with Xiangzi for life.
I thought that the wood was already in the boat, maybe my father could agree to a sweet marriage. Unexpectedly, the soldier ruffian didn't care about it, and insisted that Xiangzi was a bandit, caught in the barracks, beat him to death, and threw him into the messy post.
Later, I knew that I was pregnant with you, so I had no choice but to marry Wang Chong. Tell it like someone else's story. At the end, he looked a little nervous, and Xiaohu, who had been silent, said softly: "You don't complain about your mother, do you?" ”
Who knew Huzi, smiled shyly and relaxed, and said, "What do I blame you?" No wonder I always feel that my uncle and I have an indescribable sense of intimacy, it turns out that I am the eldest of you. ”
Juanzi took a long breath and said with a smile: "You can't marry Orchid, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Huzi smiled shyly and muttered: "I have always regarded her as a sister, last month my godmother said that she would let Orchid be my daughter-in-law, I thought about it, I felt very happy with Orchid, so I agreed." ”
Juanzi rubbed Huzi's head lovingly, and said distressed and funny: "My silly son, it seems that you haven't tasted the relationship between men and women." ”
Seeing Huzi smirking at himself ignorantly, Juanzi reached out and patted Huzi's head gently, and said with a smile: "Say that you are still a raw melon egg." ”
In Shuzhen's room, there were bursts of crisp laughter from time to time. When Shuzhen told the story of Xiangzi and Juanzi euphemistically, and pointed out that Xiangzi was Huzi's biological father, Orchid looked elated, clapped her hands and shouted: "Great! Huzi turned out to be my own brother. ”
Shuzhen was stunned for a while, and asked tentatively, "You don't like Huzi?" ”
Orchid glanced at Shuzhen suspiciously, blinked her eyes, and said, "I like it, I still want to panic if I don't see you for a few days." ”
Shuzhen sighed lightly and muttered, "I know, you girl, you have no heart when you are young, and you don't think of yourself as a girl." First of all, I'm still worried, you know that Huzi is your brother will be unhappy, hey! ”
Orchid playfully put her arms around Shuzhen's shoulders, put her face to the root of her ear, and muttered with a smile: "Mother, you are too funny, Huzi is my own brother, why should I be unhappy." ”
Shuzhen glanced at the orchid lovingly, pretended to be displeased and pushed her away, and muttered lukewarmly: "Hu Da, this stupid girl, when will she grow up." ”
