The mother looked at the husband of the medicine jar again, "If you don't make money, you will be dragged down, this, there are two male babies who have grown up, what can I do?" I'm tired of being alive. Her voice was almost choked up.

The dream is silent, but the heart is heavy.

The mother sighed, then nagged again, "Besides, you still have to think about your brother." If the two younger brothers learn the craft from others, and they can support their families by engaging in construction everywhere, isn't it also a skill? What's more, on the construction site, his brother has the final say, who is not using it? A family inside and out, so much down-to-earth?

Besides, you don't have to be selfish, always say that on the wall, if you can't meet it in your life, then you plan not to marry for the rest of your life? Stay at home as an old girl, do you want to be talked about for me? Look at you, it's usually me who spoils you, is self-willed and pampered, unwilling to sacrifice for my brother, and selfish. ”

I don't know if I heard it, my daughter didn't reply, and she didn't turn over anymore, letting her mother talk endlessly.

Erxizi and Loach, seeing Mengyao get in and plug in the door. The two of them stood at the door and listened, but there was no movement, and then they were relieved and turned back and walked to the loach's house.

"How about being your daughter-in-law?" By the moon, the loach asked him.

"Ha, count your kid with a conscience." With that, he raised his rough hand and slapped the loach on the shoulder. Pingsuri, the old face that was always half crying and not smiling, has finally changed drastically.

This night, it was easy to endure the rooster's crow, touched the clothes, and was full of sweat, maybe the kang was too hot...... In the morning, Erxi, who couldn't eat, said goodbye to the loach family with a deflated stomach. Like an arrow, he wants to tell his mother the great news of the day.

And how can Mengyao have a good night?

My mother talked for a long time late at night, and finally she realized her cousin's good intentions. Mother repeatedly emphasized that an older man can take care of her like his brother Sai's father, and can support his family, has a calm personality, and will not suffer hardships and hardships when living with him, and can be relied on for a lifetime.

In the past few days, Mengyao has always had the same dream at night. In the dream, the actor approached her, under a peach blossom tree, accompanied by falling flowers, staring at himself, and his eyes were veined. It seems that he understands her thoughts, just when Meng Yao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, the man smiled and put his finger to his lips, signaling her not to say anything.

He lifted up his arms behind his back,

Meng Yao's eyes flashed, "Huh? A bouquet of peach blossoms? ”

Under the flower tree, she is very close to the male god. On the male god's clothes, there was a faint mint fragrance, and his hand was on Mengyao's head. Ah, she has a wedding dress on her head.

When she dreamed of this, she woke up.

When I woke up, I was preoccupied, and I stared at the actor for a long time every day. When I turned my head, I often caught my mother frowning desperately on the side, sad and helpless.

Finally, one morning, for the sake of the feelings of everyone around her, she stepped on the bench, silently took it off and hung it upside down. The actor's handsomeness disappeared immediately, leaving the white paper that blended in with the wall. Saying goodbye to the male god in her heart for the time being, that night, by the moonlight, she wanted to cry, but there was a sigh in her ears and the cry caused by her father's illness, so she didn't dare to go her own way.

After all the total, she finally decided to let go of what she wanted in her heart and try to accept it for the sake of her family. However, for the male god who held her little hand with bursts of mint fragrance in her dream, she was sick.

After a fever for more than a week, my mother sighed beside her, sat on the eaves of the kang, and fed her bowls of reed root water. I didn't have the money to get medicine, so I had to use up the earthwork in the village. It didn't work, so I picked fresh lotus leaves to cook soup, and mashed them with thorny vegetables by the ditch, not only covering the whole body, but also rubbing the palms of my hands and feet with the whole leaves full of thorns, until my skin turned purple.

Busy for 2 weeks, finally better.

After the fever subsided, she relieved for a few days, and she always warned herself that she must let go of the shadow in her heart, and be willing to sacrifice and work hard for the sake of the overall situation of the family.

That morning, she hurriedly went to the market and bought a bundle of yarn. Mother saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart. And only Mengyao herself was sour and sad, but she tried her best to hide it. After she recovered from her illness, she matured a lot in her heart. Perhaps, knowing how to make trade-offs is the sign of growing up.

In the afternoon, my mother smiled and squinted her eyes, and rushed to cooperate with the wrapping of the yarn. Mengyao took it and found Aunt Guo. Aunt Guo is not tall, she is a delicate-looking woman, and she is also a good hand at living.

Mengyao saw that the tables and benches in her house were all crocheted, including pillows and pillowcases on the kang and hanging curtains...... Some of the background color is white, but there are pink flowers embedded in it, one ring and one button, and the needles are artistic, which is really lovely.

Aunt Guo didn't hide or tuck, and taught her to weave begonia leaves.

I remembered my mother's conversation last night, and I was repeatedly questioned about reality at night. She didn't say that the actor was not a reality, and he couldn't be eaten in front of him, and she couldn't take it seriously if she longed for it in her heart.

In the end, the mother said that the picture was fake, people can't really look like that, they all lied to the little girl to play, and said that "one bed and two good things are not in the world". Meng Yao thinks about it, his heart is like pressing a stone, although he is weaving it with his hands, but in his heart?

Hopeless? Since he was 12 years old, he has been pasted on the wall, and his inner expectations for several years have been criticized by his mother as a void.

In the middle of the night, my mother repeatedly emphasized that she had never seen a man like this in the painting in the village for so long, and if she could never find it, then she would be able to retire in her mother's house for the rest of her life? At that time, the person in front of him who can support his family will not miss it?

Surging with what his mother said, Meng Yao closed his eyes, reciting the handsome and handsome male god in his dream, elegant and fresh, kind and natural, and his eyes could penetrate all the wisdom...... In the sigh, she was as powerless as a fish in her throat, all this beauty would eventually wave away.

After more than ten hours of bumpy busting, the car finally stopped from Hexiwu. Erxi couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, tightened his Lei Feng hat, lowered his head, and trotted all the way towards the ferry.

At this time, the canal was already covered with ice, and there was no need to ferry, Erxi stepped on the ice road and drifted vertically and horizontally, and the green army was swollen with wind. His heart suddenly became heroic, and he became a god of war and a hero in seconds.

The canal crossing was not too wide, and in less than half an hour, he flew across the clouds and mist to the opposite bank, and there was a lotus pond in front of him.

At the east end of the village, the fence gate was crooked, and he jumped into the courtyard with a step, happy like a child.

"Mom, I'm back!" Entering the yard, a few old hens who were bathing looked at the stranger inexplicably, "clucked" a few times, and hurriedly flapped their wings to dodge.

He opened the door and saw his mother behind the door of the east house with her hands folded, burning the incense of plants and trees and kneeling down to chant. There is no need to listen, Erxi also knows what her mother's heart disease is, so she interrupted without waiting for her to react, "Mom, I'm back, see what this is?" ”

The old woman who was kneeling suddenly opened her eyes and saw that her old son was in front of her, as if she had fallen from the sky, and she was holding a bundle of money in her hand. The old woman's eyes lit up, and she quickly struggled to stand up with the wall cabinet.

Erxi stepped forward to help, her mother lost weight again, and she broke her heart for herself for so many years...... Thinking about it, I felt guilty and helped my mother sit firmly on the kang. She habitually crossed her legs, withered her hands, trembling and clutching the wad of money, counting and falling down for half an hour, and finally did not figure out the amount of money.

"Mom, I have a daughter-in-law!"

Erxi took off the green army, and while throwing it on the quilt, he reported at the same time, full of confidence.

"Huh? Where is it? Where is it? The money in her hand was so easy to pick up, and all of it fell on her trouser pocket again, and she looked around.

"I went to Zhangjiakou yesterday on a blind date, and I took a fancy to that girl. Don't worry, it's not a liar, it was introduced by a fellow worker in the subway, and the girl is his cousin, just 17 years old. ”

"Huh?" When the old woman heard this, she was really overjoyed, so she opened her mouth wide and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Good-looking, good-looking." After blurting out, Erxi scratched his scalp embarrassedly, "Like a fairy, her skin is translucent and moisturized, and she can pinch out water." ”

When the old woman heard this, she was stunned for a long time.

"Oh, the Bodhisattva has appeared!" She suddenly realized that she seemed to think of something, and immediately looked for her shoes to get off the kang, and did not forget to turn around, pulled the money together and pressed it under the kang quilt, and then moved her half-big foot and came to the wooden door. "Plop" and get on your knees. Continue to fold your hands, close your eyes, and recite words, and no longer care about the second happiness.

Erxi saw that his mother was so superstitious, so he shook his head.

The old woman sat on the kang head and rolled up her sleeves, still cross-legged, a dry and slender old hand, holding the half-big foot on the right side, the thin body, swaying from side to side and playing the rhythm, happy and proud of the Bodhisattva's appearance!

"Tell me about it." The old woman urged,

"Oh, but it has nothing to do with apparitions." Erxi cleared his throat.

He told him how to invite loaches to eat meat dishes on the construction site, and after a long time, he became good buddies, and then the loaches introduced his cousin to tell him a few times. The old woman finally dared to be sure, and nodded with satisfaction, her face filled with hope.

"When can I pass through the door? Only when you really get the red book, can you be considered a proper couple, so hurry up to renew the incense for our family, don't take advantage of the youth, hurry up and give birth to him ten or eight big fat boys, what are you waiting for? "The old woman wants to strike while the iron is hot.

"Okay, I'll urge you when I go to work on the construction site for the Chinese New Year. After the New Year, how can I bring you a family. ”

"Doesn't she think our family is old-fashioned? Don't think you're old? ”

Erxi rolled his eyes and thought about it: Mengyao's pink cheeks under the candlelight, his heart was crisp and itchy, and that night, the moment he grabbed the green onion and white jade hand. Hey, that feeling, it's a hat.

"No problem, this matter is a certainty, that kid from Loach is also a real person who is really reliable." He and his mother made categorical promises.

In the middle of the night, letting the cold wind beat the window lattice, Erxi hugged the pillow tightly...... Hey, bear with it a little longer, anyway, after a while, you will be able to hug that icy and jade person. Hehe, wiped the saliva that overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and shaved the stubble on his old face with his rough big hands.

He got up suddenly, and in the middle of the night, picked up a razor, shaved without looking at the time, and hummed the songs of his youth. In the morning, the chickens crowed several times, and Erxi slowly got up from the kang to chop wood. It's almost the New Year, and my mother has to steam a few more pots of steamed buns, as well as bean paste, and she needs a lot of hard wood.

After a while, there was also movement in the outhouse, and the mother was bending down to wash the pot and make porridge and cakes. After everything was done, the firewood was put on the shelf, and the bellows were filled back and forth, and when I saw the stove full of flames, I stopped.

The back of her head was a little loose, and she couldn't care about it, and she paced hard with half a big foot, and came to the courtyard and brought out a chicken food bowl.

"Don't split, don't split, wait until you're fed." The old woman was a little impatient and pushed the chicken food pot hard.

A few chickens at the base of the wall slowly stood up in hesitation, staring intently at the stranger in the courtyard, speculating whether there was danger.
