After that day, my mother became ill.

Dou Zhao was very worried and accompanied his mother every day.

The mother smiled and touched her head: "Mother is fine, it will be fine soon." Go play it yourself! But his face grew paler day by day.

Her father came to see her.

The mother took the initiative to shake the father's hand.

His father's fingers were slender, fair, and distinct, and straight like jade bamboo.

"I like the way you smile the most." The mother put her father's hand on her face, "Every time you look at me and smile, I think, how can someone smile so cheerfully and carefree? It's like the sunshine of spring, which warms people's hearts. ”

"The doctor said that your pulse is calm, you have a good rest, and you will get better soon." Father's eyes reddened Chapter 20, "When you're well, I'll smile at you every day." ”

"Fool!" The mother pursed her lips and smiled, looking at him like a naughty child, with a little doting, "When two people are together, they laugh because they are happy." If you're not happy, you won't be able to laugh. Don't push yourself. ”

The father was stunned.

Mother has smiled and said: "I just want you to come to make amends to me, saying that you are not doing well with me without me." ”

The father was stunned, and then laughed wryly: "You ignore me, I'm very unaccustomed to it." ”

"I'm not with you, you're just not used to it!" The mother laughed and teased the father, her eyes were very tolerant and peaceful, but her voice gradually lowered, "I thought that only when I was by your side would you smile so happily." It turns out that others can make you laugh just like me......

The father did not hear what his mother said clearly, so he knelt down at the head of his mother's bed and asked his mother gently, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing!" Mother smiled, "It's just a little tired!" ”

"Then you don't have to say anything." The father held the mother's hand, "I'm here with you, and I'll leave when you fall asleep." ”

The mother nodded, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep. Chapter 20: The Passing Water

Listening to Dou Zhao in the corner, he ran out and smashed the small sandbag on the hot kang to the ground.

What is this?

Reconciliation?

The thought flashed, and I suddenly felt deflated.

What if it's not good?

She still lacks a younger brother!

But why did it make her feel tightened in her chest as if there were hands on her heart?

Dou Zhao sat on the edge of the kang in a daze.

The father came out of the inner room and saw Dou Zhao, his steps paused slightly, and he turned around and sat beside her: "Aunt Shou, everyone praises you for your cleverness, saying that you can now say a long sentence in one breath, do you say something for me?" ”

Dou Zhao glanced at his father and lowered his head to play with the sandbag in his hand.

The father smiled happily: "This sandbag is very delicately made, who helped you make it?" ”

Dou Zhao still ignored him.

The father didn't think it was wrong, and hugged Dou Zhao with a smile: "Go, daddy tells you to write!" ”

"I don't like to write." Dou Zhao said rebelliously, "I'm going to swing!" ”

"Good!" My father laughed, "Let's go on the swing." ”

The back garden is still full of grass and trees.

Dou Zhao and his father swinged, and their mood gradually improved.

Mother may be right to do that.

took the initiative to bow his head and envelop his father in his room...... It's better than going on like this, and you can't even find a step down.

She looked at her father with a little more pleasing to the eye.

"Daddy, go high!"

"Good!"

Her father threw her into the air.

She is like a wind galloping, and every grass and tree in the Dou Mansion is enlarged and shrunk under her feet. She saw someone washing clothes next to the well in the side yard, saw Aunt Ding and Grandma Ding standing under the eaves and scolded the little maid, and saw that there was no one in her mother's yard...... It was as if everything around her was in her eyes. It was a wonderful and interesting feeling.

Dou Zhao's laughter sprinkled on the jade plate like a pearl, crisp and pleasant.

The father also raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Only Tu Niang jumped out stupidly and stopped in front of Dou Shiying: "Seventh Master, it's too high, the fourth lady will fall, you can put her down quickly!" ”

Dou Shiying recognized Tuo Niang and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be still brave and loyal!" Instead of scolding her, he bypassed her and pushed Dou Zhao, who was sitting on the swing, out again.

Tu Niang was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

Dou Shao enjoyed the care of his mother and smiled very happily.

She saw Mama Yu running out of her mother's house in a hurry, standing on the steps of the eaves and shouting, and the maids and daughters-in-law who had disappeared rushed over and fled in all directions, and the scene was a little chaotic.

What happened?

When the swing swung again, Dou Zhao stretched his neck and looked towards the main courtyard.

The little maids are still disorganized, but Mama Yu is gone.

Dou Zhao was puzzled and instructed his father: "Stop, stop." ”

The father dragged it to the swing and said with a smile: "It turns out that our Shougu is a coward. ”

Dou Zhao didn't argue with him, but as soon as his feet landed, Mama Yu ran over with a pale face.

"Seventh Master," she was in tears, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry, "Seventh Grandma, Seventh Grandma...... Hang yourself! ”

"What did you say?" Father's eyes widened, and a smile froze on his face, "Who are you talking about?" Who hanged himself! ”

"Seventh grandmother, seventh grandmother......" Mama Yu cried, her legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground, "Seventh grandma hanged herself......"

Dou Shiying looked around blankly.

Seeing his daughter standing motionless beside him as if she had been immobilized, this was a little bit of reality.

"How could it be...... It was fine just now......" he muttered, his tall body suddenly a little shorter, his face like gold paper, his lips pale and trembling.

Dou Zhao had lost his ability to speak, and his mind was like a galloping horse, rumbling non-stop.

Why did my mother die?

Didn't Wang Yingxue become a concubine?

Even if she gave birth to a son, she would be the eldest son......

Why did my mother die?

So what's the point of her returning?

Dou Zhao pursed his lips stubbornly, and his small hands were tightly clenched into fists.

The spring sun is warm and warm, quietly shining on two clay sculptures, one big and one small, only the swing, still shaking, attracting several colorful butterflies to dance around it, a competition for beauty.

※※※※※

Dou Zhao was wearing a coarse linen filial piety robe, knelt in front of the spirit with a dull expression, and kowtowed indifferently with the sound of singing and cheering.

My mother hanged herself, so she couldn't live a long life, and with her elders in the hall, she could only do Dharma for 5735 days at most.

There was no one in charge of the family, so my grandfather invited the third uncle and the third aunt to help handle my mother's funeral, and took out the Nanmu coffin prepared for myself and gave it to my mother.

The people who came to mourn offered incense, and they inevitably asked about the cause of death.

The people of the Dou family all said that they died of a violent illness, and everyone who listened to them wept: "...... Not yet twenty years old! ”

Dou Zhao's eyes turned red.

Yes, how could she have forgotten that although her mother is her mother, she is not yet twenty years old!

She only understood the truth at the age of thirty, how could she expect her mother to figure it out at the age of twenty?

Some injuries are buried in the bottom of the heart, even if the flesh and blood are blurred, there is not a trace on the surface.

Mother, never really reassured, never really relieved, right?

Dou Zhao looked to the opposite side.

The father, who was plain white, had a blue complexion and deep-set eye sockets, looking very haggard.

He was kneeling in front of the filial piety basin, burning paper money for his mother one by one, with a serious and pious expression, as if he was holding a talisman in his hand.

Wang Yingxue, whose eyes were red, walked over, she knelt side by side beside her father, silently picked up a stack of paper money from the side, tore them one by one, and threw them into the filial piety basin with her father.

"Seventh Master!" Her voice was hoarse and a little choked, "You've been kneeling here for a day and a night, and if you continue like this, your body will be dragged down...... My sister's funeral is still counting on you! ”

The father didn't say anything, gently pulled the paper money out of Wang Yingxue's hand, and continued to burn the paper money.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Wang Yingxue's face, she knelt there for a long time, her father didn't look at her, her eyes were slightly dark, and she quietly retreated.

The sixth uncle came over and grabbed his father's arm: "Ten thousand yuan, don't be like this." The deceased is gone, and the living should take care. ”

My father would not get up.

In front of his friends and brothers, he cried in a low voice: "I agreed with Gu Qiu that I would give birth to five boys and three girls...... She's gone now, but she doesn't even have a wrestler...... You just let me burn her a few more pieces of paper...... I feel so uncomfortable......"

The sixth uncle stomped his feet, but his eyes were shining: "You are just sad, now is not the time!" As he spoke, his voice deepening, "Ruifu is back!" He did not participate in the selection of the Gurgis......"

Dou Zhao raised his head.

Rui Fu is the cousin of her uncle Zhao Si.

"Count the hours, and he'll be almost there." The sixth uncle's voice was bitter, "When you meet Ruifu, have you thought about it?" The third brother and they are all in the uncle's study. We have to discuss this matter in advance......"

"Say? What is the statement? The father muttered, his mind obviously still wandering too empty, "It's all my fault...... That time, Mama Yu said that she was going to hang herself, and I thought she was trying to blackmail me...... It turned out that she was really sad and desperate for me...... I didn't know anything, and I was smug that I had won...... She said, waiting for me to compensate her, saying that she wants me to admit that I will not have a good life without her......" He fell in front of his wife's spirit and began to cry, "I didn't know it would be like this, I really didn't know it would be like this...... I promised my uncle that I would take good care of Gu Qiu and be good to Gu Qiu for the rest of my life...... I don't believe what I say...... She said I was filthy...... Not wrong at all......"

"10,000 yuan, 10,000 The sixth uncle wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and dragged his father up vigorously, "I'll talk about this later." Now the top priority is to give Ruifu an explanation. You can't be presumptuous. ”

The father shook his head and said disheartenedly: "I'm sorry for Gu Qiu, when I finish Gu Qiu's funeral, he can do whatever he wants with me!" ”

The sixth uncle was very angry, called two little servants in, and took his father to Heshoutang.

Dou Zhao ran out.

Wang Yingxue was standing under the magnolia tree outside the mourning hall, looking at the distant backs of her father and sixth uncle in a daze.

Dou Zhao shouted to her: "Aunt Wang! ”

Wang Yingxue turned her head, glanced at the servant woman outside the mourning hall out of the corner of her eye, and walked over with a decent smile: "Aunt Shou, what's the matter?" "The tone is gentle.

"You'd love to have a son, wouldn't you?" Dou Zhao raised his head, his dark eyes stared at her eyes fixedly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "However, it's a pity that you gave birth to a daughter in this womb!" After the filial piety, the new housewife entered the door, I don't know if it is as good as my mother? ”

"You ......" Wang Yingxue was frightened, and retreated again and again in horror, looking at her as if she had seen a monster.

Dou Zhao was very satisfied.

He pursed his lips coldly, and walked past her with a loose posture.
