Chapter 313: Mid-Autumn Festival (This Life)
Eight years ago, Yun Meng was five years old and Yun Ze was six years old.
"Brother, wait for me!" Xiao Yunmeng's round cheeks trembled, and she stopped, panting.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunze immediately turned around and came to Xiao Yunmeng's side, he stretched out his somewhat rough hand, his face was full of eagerness and joy.
"Little dream, we have to hurry! Little Red has been waiting for us for a long time. ”
Xiaohong, their friend who has known each other for a month, lives near the street a kilometer away from their home.
"But, brother, I can't walk." Xiao Yunmeng whispered, she didn't want to go, she couldn't walk.
Xiao Yunze thought for a while and said loudly: "I'll carry you!" ”
After speaking, he bent down at the same time and stretched out his hand to put it on his back, "Little dream, come." ”
Xiao Yunmeng hesitated for a moment, and finally carefully lay on Xiao Yunze's back, holding Xiao Yunze's neck with both hands.
"Brother, will it be heavy?"
Xiao Yunze smiled: "Of course not, you see!" ”
Xiao Yunze got up and smiled: "Let's go!" ”
However, after only walking a certain distance, the speed began to slow down.
I can't move my back!
But he didn't stop to rest, he didn't gasp, he just kept exhaling and inhaling faster.
At first, Xiao Yunmeng was lying on Yun Ze's back, very relieved, but gradually, she felt that her brother's hand became wet, and then she noticed that there was some water on Yun Ze's neck.
"Brother, I'm not tired anymore, you can let me down, I'll go by myself."
"Okay." Xiao Yunze didn't need to be strong, because he really couldn't hold it anymore.
Then, holding hands, the brother and sister walked across the street to a somewhat luxurious building.
There, there was a little girl dressed very beautifully walking around impatiently.
When she saw the Yunze brothers and sisters, she ran over instantly, and said very unhappily: "Hey, why did you come here for so long!" ”
Xiao Yunze said apologetically: "I'm sorry. ”
"Forget it, it's my birthday today, so I won't worry so much about you."
But the little girl glanced at Yun Ze and them again, and said dishappily: "Didn't you say to wear your best clothes?" Why is it still like this? It's all patches. ”
"Ah, Ozawa and Xiaomeng, you're finally here, why hurry up and come in and hang at the door?" At this time, a woman came out and said happily.
"Come in, my classmates will be here today." After the little girl finished speaking, she went in.
The woman's eyebrows furrowed slightly, a little displeased with her daughter's behavior, but she didn't need to say anything, she warmly invited Yun Ze and them in.
Half a year ago, Xiaohong's family temporarily moved here due to demolition problems, when Xiaohong got lost and came to Yunze's neighborhood near their house, and finally brought Xiaohong back with the help of Yunze's mother.
So, this woman, Xiaohong's mother naturally has a good impression of Yun Ze and them.
After that, the Yunze brothers and sisters became familiar with Xiaohong, and Xiaoyunmeng often chatted with Xiaohong.
After entering, the Yunze brothers and sisters heard laughter, which seemed to be very lively.
Xiao Yunmeng couldn't help but hold Xiao Yunze's hand, and she became a little nervous.
Later, led by the women, the Yunze brothers and sisters came to the courtyard, and they saw that there was a small long table with a large cake on it, and many other snacks and drinks next to it.
When the Yunze brothers and sisters arrived, the laughter stopped abruptly.
"They...... Who is it? A little girl asked Xiang Xiaohong.
They looked at the Yunze brothers and sisters carefully, and then they didn't hide the disdain on their faces at all.
"They're the ones I met in the neighborhood." Xiaohong said casually.
"That's it......" The girls replied with expressionless faces, and the atmosphere cooled down.
"You can play together, if you're thirsty, you can have a drink here, take it yourself, and we'll eat cake together later." The woman smiled at her, and then went in and got busy.
However, it still didn't work as lively as just now, Xiaoyun dreamed of playing with Xiaohong.
"Sister, can I play with you?" Looking at them with pure eyes, Xiao Yunmeng was a year younger than all of them.
"I'm going to play with my phone." One of the little girls went to play with her phone in the distance.
"I'll go too."
So, Xiaohong and Xiaoyunmeng were left alone.
Xiao Yunze looked at those little girls, they were all very well dressed, and there was disdain on their faces.
Xiaohong was embarrassed for a moment and said, "You can play with your brother first, I have to accompany my classmates, they finally came once." ”
With that, he went to them.
Xiao Yunmeng was a little disappointed, she slowly returned to Yun Ze and stayed silently.
Xiao Yunze gently touched Xiao Yunmeng's head, he pointed to the snacks and drinks on the table, and said softly, "Xiaomeng, do you want to eat some snacks?" ”
Although Xiao Yunmeng nodded, she didn't have any interest in these snacks, she hadn't seen these snacks, and her mother told her that she couldn't just eat things she didn't know.
Over there, it's starting to be lively again.
After a while, the woman came out with a lot of fried chicken legs, "all of them came over for cake." ”
Xiao Yunmeng's ears moved, and then he looked over, his eyes full of anticipation.
Xiao Yunze is too, and he is also looking forward to it.
Then the crowd began to sing Happy Birthday, and then the little girls took out their gifts and wanted to give them to Little Red, but the women were the first to say, "Let's eat the cake first." ”
So, the woman cut the whole plate of cakes for the Yunze brothers and sisters, and the brothers and sisters ate happily.
"Mom, Dad, isn't he coming back today?" Xiaohong asked, her face a little lost.
Today, not only is it her birthday, but also the Mid-Autumn Festival, but her father has an important job and needs to work overtime.
The woman smiled slightly, "But Dad, he still remembers your birthday." ”
"Mid-Autumn Festival? What is it? Xiao Yunmeng suddenly asked.
Such an ignorant question instantly made those little girls sneer: "I don't even know about the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"What a bun!" This sentence was said in such a low voice that the Yunze brothers and sisters could not hear it, but the woman could still hear it, and she began to furrow her brows again.
However, it is true that Xiao Yunmeng does not know.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival for us, similar to the Spring Festival, the day of family reunion, and moon cakes, which is people's good wish for family reunion." The woman explained.
Xiao Yunmeng was very curious, so he listened very carefully, and nodded slowly after listening.
"Beep!"
About a few minutes later, the horn of a car sounded at the door.
"Ah, my mom and dad are here to pick me up, I'm going back." One of the little girls immediately stood up, and after she handed the gift in her hand to Xiaohong, she ran outside, and Xiaohong went out with her mother and other friends, and there were only the Yunze brothers and sisters here.
At the door, there was a very noble and gorgeous couple waiting, and when Yun Ze also came out, he saw the little girl being hugged by his parents, and he smiled very happily.
Xiao Yunze: "......"
"Why are you here so early, the party has just begun?" The woman said.
"Isn't this a new minister, everyone is ready to celebrate."
The oily man smiled: "You have to leave a good impression on the new minister, listen to me, talk to Brother Liu more, and be smart." ”
The woman kept smiling, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
Not long after they were gone, another came, and another......
In the end, there were only the Yunze brothers and sisters.
After they left, the woman called Xiaohong in, and after a while.
She came out to Xiaoyunmeng and apologized: "Just now, I'm sorry......"
Xiao Yunmeng looked puzzled, she didn't know why Xiaohong said sorry to herself, but she still hurriedly said that it didn't matter.
So, Xiaohong and Xiaomeng played on the side, just like before.
The woman came out and sat next to Yun Ze, and she whispered to herself, "Sure enough, you should send her to an ordinary kindergarten." ”
"This kid, for fear of being hated by his classmates, can only deliberately ignore you."
"Those children, they ......"
The woman paused for a moment, did not continue, she looked at Xiao Yunze, and saw him eating the cake intently.
Such a young child doesn't understand.
Yun Ze: "......" Although he seemed to be eating cake intently, he listened to her words.
Later, when the Yunze siblings were about to go back, the woman gave them a box of mooncakes.
On the way home, Xiao Yunmeng held Xiao Yunze's hand, and she kept looking at the box of moon cakes curiously.
"Brother, is this called moon cake delicious?" Xiao Yunmeng asked, holding his right index finger.
"I don't know, let's go back and eat with my mother."
Back home, Xiao Yunze quietly opened the door and came to a room.
"Ozawa, welcome home...... Ahem! A weak voice rang out.
"Mom, I'm sorry to wake you up." Xiao Yunze hurriedly came to the bedside.
Xiao Yunze's mother was lying on the bed, coughing a few times, her voice was full of love: "No, I've been awake for a while, are you having fun?" ”
Xiao Yunze nodded in response, "Yes." ”
"Auntie also gave us a box of mooncakes."
"Mooncakes?" She thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I remember, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival...... Does Ozawa know? ”
Xiao Yunze: "...... Well. ”
A smile appeared on her face, looking very lonely, "Ozawa, I'll sleep for a while......"
Then, Xiao Yunze covered her with a quilt and gently closed the door and went out.
"Little dream?" Yun Ze said softly.
Then he saw Xiao Meng lying on the ground and falling asleep, so he took out a blanket and covered Xiao Yunmeng.
Time gradually passed, and soon it was night, and Xiao Yunze sat at the door and looked at the sky until nightfall.
It just so happened that Xiao Yunmeng and her mother woke up at the same time.
The woman came out of the room in her cloak, her face was pale and thin, and she looked like the wind could blow her down, her long messy hair falling over her shoulders.
Although she looks sickly, you can still see how beautiful she was before, and now she has a sickly beauty, which is pitiful.
"Mom, why did you come out?" Xiao Yunze hurriedly stepped forward.
She looked up at the sky and smiled slightly: "Today's moon is very garden, very beautiful...... Cough. ”
"Mom!" At this time, Xiao Yunmeng also came, she took the woman's hand, smiled sweetly, and looked very stupid.
The woman took Xiao Yunmeng and Xiao Yunze's hands and sat down together, and she covered the three of them with the blanket that Xiao Yunze had just taken out.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, of course, we have to enjoy the moon together."
Yun Ze, on the other hand, went to fetch the moon cakes, and he had to cut the moon cakes into small pieces first.
The woman held Xiao Yunmeng in her arms and whispered softly: "Xiaomeng, why haven't you asked me about my father?" ”
Xiao Yunmeng said simply: "My brother told me that I can't ask my mother about my father. ”
After hearing this, the woman first paused, and a wry smile appeared on her face: "Is it?" Do you want to know that little dream? ”
Xiao Yunmeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded decisively, "Well, I want to know." ”
"Daddy, where are you......" the woman said, pointing to the sky.
"Heavenly?" Xiao Yunmeng looked puzzled.
"Well, Daddy, he's watching us from the sky......"
"Oh......" Xiao Yunmeng kept looking at the night sky, kept looking, and even narrowed his eyes.
Seeing this, the woman smiled, "You can't see it like this." ”
"Mom, why is Dad in the sky, why doesn't Dad come down, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, does Dad still have to work?"
Faced with Xiao Yunmeng's question, the woman just touched Xiao Yunmeng's head, shook her head slightly, and did not answer.
"In the future, Mom may go to Dad, and ...... when the time comes"
"Ahem!"
"Mom!" Xiao Yunmeng immediately turned around and shouted worriedly, and when she saw her mother, she shook her head slightly, signaling that it was okay.
Xiao Yunze, who had been hiding behind the door for a while, heard the words just now, and his whole person couldn't help but tremble, and then went out immediately with a plate.
"The mooncakes are coming." Xiao Yunze smiled.
So, the woman also took Xiao Yunze into her arms, and the three of them leaned on each other, looking at the round and bright moon, and eating small pieces of moon cakes.
The woman only ate one piece and didn't eat much, and so did Xiao Yunze, who leaned on the woman's left arm, inhaling the breath that made him very reassuring, and feeling the unusual warmth.
Seeing that her mother didn't eat moon cakes, Xiao Yunmeng picked up a piece and handed it to the woman, she looked at Xiao Yunmeng, and then opened her mouth slightly to bite it.
The woman wiped the moon cakes next to Xiao Yunmeng's mouth and said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, are the moon cakes delicious?" ”
Xiaomeng smiled and nodded: "Sweet, delicious." ”
The woman then looked at Xiao Yunze, who seemed to be asleep with a comfortable face.
"Ahem!"
The woman coughed suddenly, and it became more and more violent, and then immediately woke up Xiao Yunze.
"Mom, go back and rest early." Xiao Yunze instantly cheered up, and he didn't feel a little sleepy.
The woman nodded: "Sorry to wake up Ozawa." ”
Xiao Yunze shook his head, and then held the woman's hand with Xiao Yunmeng until the woman lay on the bed and fell asleep.
At the door, there was also a mooncake on the plate.
"Brother."
As soon as Xiao Yunze turned around, a piece of moon cake touched his lips.
"Brother, eat."
Xiao Yunze took a bite of the last piece of moon cake with a smile, and let Xiao Yunmeng eat the rest.
Feeling that there was a residue next to his lips, Xiao Yunze was about to open his mouth, but Xiao Yunmeng suddenly kissed him and kissed him near his lips.
Xiao Yunze was stunned for an instant, Xiao Yunmeng looked up at Xiao Yunze and grinned, and then ran away.
The mooncake scraps are gone.
Xiao Yunze touched the side of his lips, wet, looked at the beautiful moon in the night sky, and then smiled, and went back to the room to sleep.
