Chapter 42: The Missing Mother's Love

Seeing the scene where his father was about to kiss Ning Tienan, Xu Chenglong didn't know why he was very unhappy.

"Xiaolong, why are you here?" Xu Da was surprised.

"Is it your son?" Ning Tienan hurriedly stood up and opened the courtyard door, "Come in, I just happened to eat." ”

After sitting down, Ning Tienan immediately brought the dishes and chopsticks, "I'll fry a few more dishes, and you two will eat first." ”

"There are so many dishes, don't fry them." Xu Da said.

"Don't get in the way, you eat first." After speaking, Ning Tienan went to the stove room.

Xu Da was a little embarrassed, cleared his throat and asked, "How did you find here?" ”

"Brother Ringo told me."

"Have you seen Lin Bufan?"

"Hmm. He's really good. ”

"Well, study with him in the future."

After saying these few words, the father and son stopped talking.

I am most afraid of the sudden freezing of the air.

"It's just a fake marriage, don't think about it." Xu Da was afraid that his son would not be able to accept his remarriage, so he broke the deadlock and said.

"You said that the other day, I know."

"Oh......" Xu Da replied softly, and after taking a sip of wine, he said, "She is quite a good person, and she is a woman who lives a life." ”

Originally, Xu Da wanted to follow along with this, but Xu Chenglong did not answer.

A dish of mushroom greens and mapo tofu came up.

"Eat vegetables." Ning Tienan said diligently.

Xu Chenglong took a bite of mapo tofu and said deliberately: "It's so spicy." ”

"I'm sorry, Auntie didn't know that you didn't eat spicy, so eat these ribs."

Ning Tienan sandwiched a piece of pork ribs for Xu Chenggong, Xu Chenglong took a bite and said deliberately again: "Did you put sugar?" It's so sweet. ”

"Auntie, put less sugar next time." Ning Tienan stood up and said, "There are still some spare ribs in the pot that have not been cooked, I will go and cook another bowl." ”

"I want beef." Xu Chenglong was obviously eager to eat a home-cooked meal, and Ning Tienan's dishes were obviously delicious, but he was embarrassed by Ning Tienan, and even he didn't know why he did this.

"It's getting dark, where are you getting beef?" Xu Da's face turned black.

"Why are you murdering him, it's a good thing that the child wants to eat, Auntie go buy it, wait." Ning Tienan took off his apron and rushed outside.

There is a delicatessen at the intersection of Guishan Road, which is more than a kilometer away.

Just after Ning Tienan ran out for a while, the sky thundered, and it actually rained heavily.

The summer rain is coming.

The pouring rain fell.

"Why is it raining, she didn't bring an umbrella." Xu Da stood up, anxious.

"Dad, do you feel sorry for her now?" Xu Chenglong's tone was aggrieved.

Xu Da was in a dilemma, "Dad is just to do business and fake marriage with her, don't think about it." ”

About 20 minutes, Ning Tienan ran back panting.

"Huhuhuhu......" Ning Tienan's whole body was soaked, his hair was close to his cheeks, and water beads were dripping down.

Seeing that Ning Tienan's hands were empty, Xu Chenglong said unhappily: "What about beef? You won't buy it because it's raining heavily, right? Or do you want to buy it if you don't want to eat it? ”

"Here it is." Ning Tienan took out a bag of beef packed with lotus leaves from his arms, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, the beef is not wet, I'll cut it for you." ”

Xu Da couldn't look at it and said, "Go and change your clothes first." ”

Ning Tienan said: "My body is stronger than a cow, first cut beef for the baby, the baby grows the body, and can't starve." ”

Ning Tienan insisted on cutting the beef first and then changing his clothes.

Xu Chenglong was eating beef, his heart was turning upside down, and there was an indescribable feeling rippling.

Ning Tienan's skills are very good, Xu Chenglong said that mapo tofu is spicy and the pork ribs are sweet, but in the end, he eats the most.

Before I knew it, I ate three bowls of rice.

After the meal, Ning Tienan gave Xu Chenglong a glass of sugar water.

Xu Chenglong drank the sugar water and remembered an essay by his classmates - the sugar boiled water made by his mother.

The article wrote: I have always had a bad stomach and is not easy to digest, my mother will always pour me a glass of sugar boiled water after meals, she said that drinking a glass of sugar boiled water will help digestion......

At that time, Xu Chenglong was particularly envious, although sugar boiled water was not a luxury drink, it had the taste of his mother.

After drinking, the three of them began to chat, Ning Tienan reassured Xu Chenglong that he would not rob his father, saying that the two of them were a deal, and they would be separated in a short time, hoping that Xu Chenglong would not be angry during this time.

When he learned that Xu Chenglong had been in boarding school since elementary school, Ning Tienan stroked Xu Chenglong's head lovingly, and said: "Child, I have wronged you, I must have suffered a lot since I was a child, and in the future, Auntie will come to Auntie's house every Saturday, and Auntie will cook the dishes you like to eat." ”

Ning Tienan likes children very much, but unfortunately he can't give birth to them.

After Xu Chenglong was touched by Ning Tienan, his heart was warm and his nose was sour for some reason.

When he was at school, he could often see his classmates with lunch boxes prepared by his mother, and some of them would show off.

"You see, my mother prepared bacon for me, and this bacon was made by my mother herself."

"What's so great about bacon, this is the pickled fish my mother made, it's fresh."

"My mother will also make dumplings, next time you all come to my house to eat, I will ask my mother to make sauerkraut filling, three fresh filling dumplings for you to eat."

Every time Xu Chenglong hears such a conversation, he is very jealous in his heart, and he will fantasize that his mother will return to him.

"Why are you crying?" Ning Tienan saw Xu Chenglong crying and panicked, "Is it that Auntie said something wrong?" ”

Xu Chenglong shook his head and swallowed his tears strongly.

After a while, Ning Tienan said, "Let's stay here and sleep tonight." ”

"Well, Xiaolong, sleep in the same room with Dad at night."

"I don't want it either, you snore, I can't sleep."

"Then sleep with Auntie."

"......" Xu Chenglong turned his head shyly and did not refuse.

After 9 o'clock, Ning Tienan went to boil water, and then went to Xu Da's room with a basin.

"Come, wash your feet." Ning Tienan squatted on the ground, picked up Xu Da's trousers, and began to wash Xu Da's feet.

It was the first time for Xu Da to let a woman wash her feet, which was both embarrassing and moving.

When Xu Chenglong saw this scene, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

After washing Xu Da's feet, Ning Tienan went to his room again with hot water and washed Xu Chenglong's feet.

Xu Chenglong was cramped and ashamed.

"He is a pair of good feet, and he must be a down-to-earth person in the future." Ning Tienan said with a smile.

"Auntie, don't you feel dirty?" Xu Chenglong asked weakly.

"Hahaha...... How can it be dirty, dissatisfied with you said, auntie especially likes children, but can't give birth, see other women wash their baby's feet and bathe, my heart is jealous, today is you gave aunt such a chance to fulfill her wish, auntie wants to thank you. ”

"Auntie, does every mother love her children so much?"

"That's for sure, the child is a piece of meat that fell off his body, how can he not love it."

"Then why didn't my mother want me and ran away with another man?"

Ning Tienan chuckled in his heart, the movements in his hand stopped, and after a while, he sighed and said: "No one can do anything wrong if he is not a sage, as long as he is a person, he will always do something wrong, and your mother must regret it in her heart now." ”

"Why didn't you come back to me?"

"I feel guilty, I don't dare to see you, Xiaolong, when your mother comes back in the future, don't blame her too much, she may also have her own unspeakable secrets, give her a chance to make amends, and let the sad past go away with the wind, okay?"

Xu Chenglong's nose was sour again, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

After washing his feet, Ning Tienan spread his quilt on the floor.

Xu Chenglong asked, "Do you want to sleep on the ground at night?" ”

"Auntie farms and picks dung every day, there is a smell on her body, and she is afraid of smoking you when she sleeps together." Ning Tienan touched his head and said innocently.

"Nonsense, where do you smell?"

"That'...... That slept together. ”

At night, the night sky in the countryside is particularly bright, and the moonlight shines in, sprinkling a silvery white.

Xu Chenglong is not sleepy yet.

Ning Tienan said, "Can't you sleep? ”

"Hmm!"

"Are you bold?"

"Of course."

"Auntie can tell ghost stories, do you want to listen to them?"

"Okay."

Ning Tienan told the ghost story vividly, and when it came to the horror, Xu Chenglong was so frightened that he hid his head in the blanket.

"Hahaha, you still say you're not afraid." Ning Tienan said with a smile.

"I ...... I'm not afraid. ”

"Okay, good, you're not afraid."

That night, Xu Chenglong felt what happiness and maternal love were.

When I was a child, other children would say that their father or mother would tell them stories before going to bed, but he never fell asleep listening to the stories.

I didn't expect that I would grow up, but I could make up for this regret.

Early the next morning, when the father and son went downstairs, they saw that breakfast had been prepared, millet porridge, corn on the cob, pickles, pickled radish, and a few steamed buns.

Both father and son feel that this is life.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I cooked millet porridge."

"Millet porridge is fine." Xu Da said.

"Do you like to eat pasta, if you like to eat it, I will cook noodles for you to eat in the future."

"I like it!" Father and son said in unison.

Xu Da still has to stay and discuss the banquet with Ning Tienan, Xu Chenglong is going back to school, although it is already a holiday, he still has to attend several interest classes organized by the school.

Before leaving, Xu Da shouted: "Bring the umbrella, in case it rains." ”

"No, it's so nice." Xu Chenglong was not happy to hold something in his hand.

Walking out of the door and into the yard, Ning Tienan chased after him and stuffed the umbrella into Xu Chenglong's hand, "Be prepared, what if it rains and you catch a cold?" ”

Xu Da knew his son's temper, and just wanted to say that he refused to take it......

"Oh! Auntie, you're right. Then I'll take it. Xu Chenglong gladly accepted, took a long umbrella with a wooden handle, and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Xu Da was surprised.

The son became well-behaved.

On the way, Xu Chenglong looked at the umbrella over and over again.

He remembered that when he was in junior high school, it suddenly rained heavily after school on a sunny day, and he didn't bring an umbrella, while most of his classmates had umbrellas.

"Luckily, my mom let me bring an umbrella, and sure enough, it rained."

"I didn't want to bring an umbrella in the morning, I was annoyed by my mother's nagging, and I didn't expect it to rain."

"Hahaha, children with mothers are different from children without mothers." This sour classmate looked at Xu Chenglong, who didn't have it with him.

At that time, Xu Chenglong was very sad in his heart.

After more than two hours, Xu Chenglong arrived at the gate of the school, at this time, the wind was fierce, the clouds were thick, and the rain was pouring down, and it soon turned into a torrential rain.

Xu Chenglong held an umbrella and stood stupidly at the gate of the school, not walking in.

After seeing Xu Chenglong in the rainstorm, the classmates in the teaching building said in surprise: "Is Xu Chenglong, this kid stupid, he didn't come in after such a heavy rain." ”
