The door opens.

Meng Yao touched the West House by feeling, quickly took off the wet clothes around him, dried his body, and then poured a glass of water and drank wildly. At present, the appetite seems to be more steady, less tumbling clouds, and falling asleep again with moisture, groggy.

The next day.

She actually had a fever, and she actually talked nonsense, "Mom, Mom, why are you here?" Where's Dad, are you okay? What about the younger brothers? What the? The second brother also has a girlfriend? Oh Mom, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't go! ”

Meng Yao suddenly woke up.

The cheeks and temples were all overflowing with crystal tears, and most of the fever had subsided. Could it be that last night's big glass of water turned into tears? After all, for a long time, I didn't have any substantive tears.

It's good to go back to my hometown in my dream; It's better to see your mother in your dreams.

But the dream is not my mother crying, but actually myself. Mom, I'm sorry, but I miss you so much. Hey, I still have to work hard to save some money for the journey, and the money to buy small gifts for the family, she secretly encouraged herself, and tried to sit up.

Just come over and open the curtain and look, "Mom." ”

A weak voice.

"Oh, singlely." Mengyao's tears flowed again.

Running over the threshold alone, she touched the child's tender little baked cake face, and the child put a bowl of porridge firmly on the eaves of the kang.

I only heard the old woman outside shouting, "Only, where did you go, you dead girl?" ”

Shan Shan who was wearing a cotton skirt with flowers and rice listened to it, shrunk his neck, quickly turned around, and opened the curtain to hide.

"Tell you this dead girl, don't go to that house to see that slut again. If you go again, I'll send you out and throw it into a ravine far away to feed the snow wolf, and your mother will come from that wild ghost place. ”

The old woman leaned over and caught Shan Shan a hard lesson.

Just nodded, the feather shuttlecock above his head swayed, and when he heard his grandmother mention the wolf, it was definitely not a good kind, and he couldn't help but panic, and his heart also raised his throat. Although she was already a primary school student, in school, she had never heard the teacher talk about the snow wolf, but looking at her grandmother's demeanor, the snow wolf must be the most powerful and terrifying existence in the world, and it eats people at every turn.

I heard vomiting in the house again.

The old woman listened, "Huh? Why did you get pregnant again? ”

"Two joys, two joys." The old woman shouted.

Erxi just got up lazily, because he was angry and hurtful, and he was old, he slept until today, and he also felt weak. Because of the sister-in-law's gallstones, Daxi was delayed to go out to work, so Erxi didn't get 2 months' salary, so he rested at home.

At present, the sister-in-law lives in a hospital in Beijing and is about to undergo surgery, and when Daxi went home, Erxi also gave 100 yuan. Hey, I'm looking forward to getting better, and I'm going to be able to get out.

"Look at that broom star, is it again?"

"Huh?"

Erxi didn't have a special demeanor when he heard it, he still didn't stop thinking, after his brain was tired, he looked up at a few pictures of fat boys posted on the walls of the house, and suddenly frowned again, for the first time he felt that the smile of this group of boys was sarcastic, and finally he sighed.

Could this be fate?

Yes, it depends on the bet. Although he didn't deliberately look at the nuisance race, on Mengyao's kang eaves, there would be a bowl of porridge at every meal, and on the top of the porridge skin, there was occasionally a small pickle.

These days, the weather is really hot, and Mengyao's stomach is getting up really fast.

"Could it be that this baby is a boy?" Erxi couldn't help but believe in the reins, and his heart was fascinated.

"Hey, whatever, right?"

He was gloomy again, and did not dare to speak too much. Think about the words that last month, Zhang Laojiu's daughter-in-law in the village intercepted him and said that if there was another girl, her family wanted to raise him.

It's annoying to think about.

Last month, before the was pregnant, she cursed me that I couldn't make a boy?

It's so contemptible.

recalled that he not only refused on the spot, but also replied to the vicious words that insulted Zhang Laojiu's daughter-in-law, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. Suddenly, he remembered the old bald man Wang and the old man at the scrap station, so he said to himself, "Hmph, as long as it's not a special wild seed." ”

"Huh? What? The old woman didn't hear clearly, and when she saw that Erxi was still talking to herself, she mentioned, "Are you going out to hide?" ”

Erxi came back to his senses.

Anyway, if it shows the dew, then it's time to go out and hide again. Erxi thought of the thrill of being captured alive last time, and suddenly remembered this, Erxi still had palpitations.

At night, with his mother, he had a kang head and a kang tip, and Erxi smoked a cigarette and asked the old woman about going out to hide.

The old woman coaxed her to sleep soundly and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to ask for a second cousin farther away." Her home is in the northern suburbs, where there is a Liu Kuaizhuang, who lives at No. 25 Santiao Shi Street. ”

2 months later.

Summer is long past and the days are still hot.

Erxi pulled out a few clothes and wrapped them in a wrapper. Riding a dilapidated bicycle to the station, he leaned against a discarded oil drum that had been converted into a giant fritter stove with a large metal ring on it. The chain lock is threaded through the tab, tightening the back seat frame of the bike and locking it.

Carrying the burden, I took the bus all the way to the northern suburb of Tianmu, and it took seven or eight hours to arrive at the station, and finally arrived at Liu Kuaizhuang.

Mengyao got motion sickness and vomited.

Entering the house, the second sister and the eldest sister look very similar, although they don't see each other much, the second sister still feels cordial, and he is asking someone to come. His half-crying face was infinitely flattering.

Pretend to laugh, even if the laughter cramps.

Her house is not big, but there are several rooms that are free, and Mengyao lives in a single room here. After the meal, everyone wanted to take a lunch break, so Erxi went out to find the bus station and ran to the distant Lotus Pond Village.

Only she was left to raise a baby in Liu Kuaizhuang.

"Let me tell you, you can't walk around at will out of the courtyard here, because here you can also catch a big belly immediately, not to mention your second child. The village caught the wrong person because of a misunderstanding last month, and a child was also arrested, do you know how miserable it is? In the end, they all went to court. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Meng Yao stared in surprise, covered his chest, and instantly couldn't figure out his brain circuits.

"So if you want to be born, you can come out again in the dark, and it is only limited to this small courtyard."

Meng Yao nodded solemnly.

She walked into her room, looked around, the number of square meters was not large, only a dozen square meters, leaning against the 2 walls was a single bed, the back of the bed was not the head of the bed, but the cabinet that had been comparable to the roof, and when she opened the cabinet door, there were squares inside. Kemeng Yao's package is simple, only autumn clothes and pants and that coat that has been around for many years.

Now when she takes that dress, it's not a question of beauty or ugliness, nor is it a matter of shielding from the wind and cold, nor is it a question of replacement. Perhaps only that dress can remind me of how spoiled I was when I first met Erxi. So every time she stroked her clothes with her hands, her face was full of warmth, and then her eyes were gloomy.

Tuck the package into the squares.

The white bed curtain is indeed a good fabric, embroidered with blue swans flying flat wings, and around the swans, a few light blue clouds are scattered.

Looking at the windowsill, there is a large pot of purple orchids on it, with dense and pointed leaves, like a palm. A few short spikes are untamed, vigorous and exciting. And the long spike of more than one meter can not be arrogant, but can only be proud, showing the beauty of a graceful and shy little woman.

After a long time, it will grow secretly, and not long in the middle of the leaves, a pinch of pink flower bones will be clustered. These delicate and delicate flower bones are gradually bursting by the care of the leaves on the long spikes.

Soon it will bloom gracefully, and there is a little bit of yellow in the core. Will it turn out? Meng Yao thought about looking at the other spikes, but couldn't see them, and raised his fingers again, picked up the plump leaves on the spikes, and took a closer look.

Oh, and sure enough, there are a few charming little green bumps in the flowerless places. The green pimple consists of three or two small pumpkin petals. A purple orchid is placed in a greenhouse, and only survives in a small mud pot, and they can bloom freely and bloom in this way. Branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, and fruits, there are a lot of them. She leaned over, leaned over her cheeks, and kissed the fullest of the leaves.

There was an instant chill.

The fingertips gently touched the damp and straight leaves again, and in the gap, I saw a peach blossom painted on the mud pot. Meng Yao frowned when he saw it, and touched the peach blossoms on his sideburns, because of the excessive sun exposure caused by drinking, he couldn't see the reason for it, and it was dark.

The rosy cheeks of the past are long gone, replaced by a terrible toad-like skin, and she stands in front of the window, bowing her head and sobbing inwardly but not daring to speak out, for fear of being heard.

At this moment, there was a faint pain in her abdomen, and she was in a panic, so she quickly wiped her eyes, she had to stop crying, otherwise the baby would resist. Maybe the baby only wants her mother to be happy, so she can't stand the slightest bad mood. Thinking of the past, those babies who had never seen it at a glance couldn't help but feel a cone again, but the tumbling in her belly once again reminded her to deliberately keep it happy.

What to do?

Perhaps only by going to bed for a while could she forget everything, she moved her swollen feet a little awkwardly and ran towards the bed. In the soft bed, I slept for an unknown amount of time, dreaming of her holding hands with her mother and living in a manor that could only be seen in movies.

The manor is surrounded by greenery, clear water, and in the distance, there are pink peach blossoms dotted with poetry, and there are hidden steps of moss between the pink. The villa, the meadow, the mother smiled happily, the father was well enough to walk upright, and the children surrounded them to ask for warmth. She was infinitely intoxicated in her dreams, and there seemed to be sweet cream on her lips.

Oh, I wish I never woke up.

"Knock knock." The door rings.

Meng Yao suddenly opened his eyes and saw that there were white walls around him, and his body was covered with a clean and thin quilt, and the thin quilt did not have the slightest peculiar smell, only a fragrance of wormwood.

Could it be that the dream has come true?

"Knock knock." There was another knock on the door.

Mengyao had to get up, and after sitting up, he caught a glimpse of the spider plant on the windowsill, and only then did he understand the taste. What dreams come true? This is obviously the second cousin's family, and she fled here because she was pregnant and avoided everywhere.

A stirring spirit in his heart, let himself appear in his original form again.

She stood up and looked at the dressing mirror, smashing her messed up three heads, with a strong sense of reality, and another dampness in her heart. In the mirror, I suddenly found that a few gray hairs appeared on the sideburns. has always judged a person's age by white hair, but he is less than thirty years old, and he has also given birth to gray hair, and he has become a living textbook......

Frequent birth of children without nutrition is not good, and it is true that I don't remember my age. After all, my mother is so old, and there are only a few sideburns. Depressed, she couldn't help frowning.

Lowered his eyebrows and opened the door.
