Chapter 67: Go or Stay
I don't know who the old gentleman is saying this, whether it is for himself or to Ma Jinbo's grandfather, all of this is unknown, but at this time, Ma Jinbo's father is walking here.
Soon, Ma Jinbo's father made some food with the existing ingredients, because after tossing for so long, everyone was tired, before cooking, Ma Jinbo's father hugged Ma Jinbo and Ma Jinbo's mother to the kang, let them have a good rest, and then waited for them to wake up, everything that happened now is only Ma Jinbo's father and grandfather are still vivid, and then it depends on whether Ma Jinbo can recall everything that happened, if he can, tell them the whole story, if not, Then just let this matter sink into the sea, and no one should mention it again.
After the old gentleman, as well as Ma Jinbo's father and grandfather finished eating, Ma Jinbo's father put away the dishes and chopsticks, and sat not far from the kang, smoking silently, waiting for his wife and children to wake up, while Ma Jinbo's grandfather basically remained silent, didn't say anything, just watched all this silently. The old gentleman seemed to be thinking about something, or rather looking at something, and sat alone near the window, and then rested his head on the sash made of wood, and said nothing.
After about two or three hours, Ma Jinbo and his mother woke up one after the other, and everyone seemed to be in good spirits and looked at them.
After Ma Jinbo saw his father for the first time, he first shouted excitedly to hug, Ma Jinbo's father hurriedly stepped forward to hold the child in his arms, and kept comforting Ma Jinbo, Ma Jinbo kept crying at this time, snuggled in his father's arms, just when Ma Jinbo kept crying, his mother also woke up, and then looked around at the unfamiliar environment.
"What's wrong with me? Why are we here? I feel like I've been dreaming for a long time, huh? Ma Jinbo's mother woke up and looked at the surrounding environment and said to herself, she didn't see Ma Jinbo's father at all, at this time she heard the cry, looked in the direction of the cry, and found that Ma Jinbo was snuggled in her father's arms, Ma Jinbo's mother asked suspiciously: "The child's father, what's wrong?" Why is our family here? Why does the child cry non-stop, is he hungry? ”
Hearing Ma Jinbo's mother say this, everyone understood that Ma Jinbo's mother had forgotten what happened at that time and just regarded it as a dream.
So let's see what Ma Jinbo's reaction is?
At this time, Ma Jinbo stared at the people around him back and forth with a pair of black eyes, his eyes kept passing over the old man's face, and he drilled into his father's arms, and after finding a position where he felt safe, he pointed at the old man with a fleshy little finger, and said softly in a frightened tone: "Dad, that old man looks so scary, why does he look so ugly?" ”
Hearing this, the father hurriedly stopped Ma Jinbo, Ma Jinbo was startled because he heard his father's serious tone, and when he was about to cry, his mother hurriedly rushed up, held Ma Jinbo in her arms, kept comforting Ma Jinbo, and turned his head to Ma Jinbo's father and said angrily: "What are you doing, are there such a fierce child as you?" Isn't this a child? ”
After Ma Jinbo's father saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to the old gentleman, and said: "Old gentleman, I'm sorry, the child is unscrupulous, you adults have a lot, don't be angry with the child." ”
Hearing this, the old gentleman laughed a few times, and then said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay for a child to have such a heart, it's harmless......"
When Ma Jinbo's father heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and put down his hanging heart.
Looking at Ma Jinbo's appearance, after hearing what he said, everyone felt that Ma Jinbo didn't know what was going on at all, so there was no need to worry too much about these problems.
"Okay, since it's been resolved, then please go home, the old man should be clean and clean here." At this time, the old gentleman gave an eviction order to everyone.
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly got up, especially Ma Jinbo's father, who hurriedly got up and thanked the old gentleman again, and was about to give the money on his body to the old gentleman, but the old gentleman waved his hand to stop it directly, and did not collect it, and they no longer shirked each other.
Ma Jinbo's grandfather looked at the old gentleman with a different expression, and also thanked the old gentleman, and after thanking him, he walked home with Ma Jinbo's parents, because Ma Jinbo's father has always been related to the situation of Ma Jinbo and his mother, and many times he ignored Ma Jinbo's grandfather's expression.
Ma Jinbo's father led the group in the direction of home at this time. Grandpa lowered his head at this time, bent over and pulled the cart in front of him, Ma Jinbo's father held Ma Jinbo with one hand, and Ma Jinbo's mother's hand with the other, and the four of them walked towards the front like this, because this place was not very far from home.
At this time, Ma Jinbo lay in his father's arms, and then leaned his head on his father's shoulder, his eyes kept staring at the old man's residence, and from time to time he wrote down the path, because he knew everything that happened, but in order not to worry his parents, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything, but the old man could see it, so in order not to let Ma Jinbo's father find anything, he immediately issued an eviction order.
Soon, they returned home, and Grandma was already at the door to greet them, and when she saw that everyone had come back safe and sound, Grandma kept chanting: "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless." As he spoke, he folded his hands and bowed to the sky.
When he returned home, Ma Jinbo's father summoned the rest of the family to the hall, saying that there was an important meeting to be held, which must be attended by all the adults in the family. Soon, the adults in the family came to the hall one after another, and at this time, Ma Jinbo's father arranged for the children of the second uncle's family to take Ma Jinbo to the yard to play.
After everyone came to the hall, after Ma Jinbo's father recounted the previous events, everyone was shocked when they heard it, and some people had already begun to discuss it below. Therefore, Ma Jinbo's father said that for this issue, what to do, how to deal with it, I hope everyone can discuss an opinion.
Ma Jinbo's father has a total of six brothers and sisters, because Ma Jinbo's father is the eldest, so at that time, his father raised all of them in order to make his brothers and sisters grow up, and then he became a family, so they treated Ma Jinbo like a treasure.
The second uncle's children took Ma Jinbo to play in the yard, Ma Jinbo sat on the threshold of the side room, and whispered to the children of the second uncle's family and said with a feeling of sadness: "Brother, if I disappear, will you be sad?" ”
Hearing this, the child of the second uncle's family stared at Ma Jinbo suspiciously, patted his head and said, "What are you thinking?" Look at what you said, if you are gone, we will definitely be sad, and you forgot that you were sick last time, but your family is in a hurry...... Especially the uncle, he felt anxious and was about to cry. ”
After Ma Jinbo heard the child of the second uncle's family say this, he smiled very happily, and then his face was full of happy expressions, but his heart still lingered in his ears about what the old man said before. Ma Jinbo suddenly changed his expression, and then said to the children of the second uncle's family: "Let's make a game, shall we?" ”
"Okay, what game do you want to make?"
"Let's play hide and seek, I'll hide, you come to me, okay?"
"Okay, let's play with this."
"Then you count, count to a hundred, and you will come to me."
"yes, okay." After the second uncle's child finished speaking, he leaned on the wall, covered his eyes, and began to count: "One, two, three, four, five, six........"
Ma Jinbo watched the children of the second uncle's family count, and then ran towards the courtyard alone.......
Just after Ma Jinbo left, after Ma Jinbo's father repeated the words of the old man to all his relatives, Ma Jinbo's mother reacted the most violently, first stood up and shouted excitedly: "That's my child......"
At this time, the other aunts stepped forward to comfort Ma Jinbo's mother, patted Ma Jinbo's mother's back, and said, "Jinbo,, don't worry, this is not a big guy is discussing, you have just recovered, but you must not be excited." ”
Ma Jinbo's mother didn't say anything at this time, sitting alone in a chair and wiping her tears.
Ma Jinbo's father glanced at it, sighed, and said, "Now let's discuss what I just said and see how to solve it?" Go or stay? ”
After saying this, the relatives of Ma Jinbo's family communicated with each other, but Ma Jinbo's father's eyes were full of anxiety, on the one hand, his biological son, and on the other hand, his brothers and sisters, now let him choose, he didn't know how to choose.
After everyone discussed for a while, Ma Jinbo's third uncle took the lead in speaking, the third uncle was not yet middle-aged, and he had already bowed his head, like a Mediterranean Sea in the middle, coughed softly, and said in a very official tone: "That big brother has finished talking about this matter, so let's discuss it, because this matter is not only related to the lives of the eldest brother's children, but also because this matter is related to the lives of our people, so we must choose carefully." ”
"Third child, look at you, if you want to talk about the result, good guy, what are you talking so much about?" A relatively thin young man, dressed very energetically, said as he lay on his back in a chair. It turned out that this person was Ma Jinbo's fifth uncle.
"Fifth brother, don't interrupt, let your third brother speak." Ma Jinbo's father stopped the fifth uncle's words.
Then, everyone just talked and discussed.
Before the result was discussed, the child of the second uncle's family suddenly pushed the door in, panting heavily, and said intermittently: "Uncle, that ...... That one...... Kim Bo ....... Kim Bo ......."
All looked at the anxious look of the second uncle's child and said, "What's wrong? Make it clear. ”
"It's gone." The second uncle's child said with a sigh of relief at this time.
"What? It's gone? ”
"What's going on?"
Everyone asked.
Ma Jinbo's father calmed down first, and then said, "What's the situation? Why is it gone? ”
The second uncle's child finished his chest at this time, and then told the whole story.
After listening to the words of the second uncle's child, everyone was stunned, and only the father thought of it for the first time, maybe Ma Jinbo already knew at that time, but he didn't want his family to worry so he pretended to know nothing.
At this time, the fourth child shouted: "Don't care about these things for now, hurry up and find someone, no matter what, he is a child of our Ma family." ”
"Yes, it is the blood of our Ma family."
At this time, Ma Jinbo's father shouted: "You wait at home, and your sister-in-law and I will go to find the child......"
With that, he took Ma Jinbo's mother's hand and walked outside.
