Chapter 18: The World
"Mom, can we plant vegetables in the yard, I want to grow it myself?" As soon as Tang Destiny entered the yard, he ran around excitedly.
"Grow carrots here, radishes here, shallots here, garlic here, ginger here, and ...... there" The child seems to have a complete plan, and every place he goes to report what he wants to plant.
Lin Wanqing looked at the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard, stunned.
In the past, this place was also orderly and full of pleasant greenery, but at that time, she longed for the life of the metropolis, and was full of disgust and impatience for this small world full of life.
It wasn't until she came back again, and saw that it had really become a dead and silent world, that she realized that it was a home like before. It's a pity that she understood too late, she not only lost her home, but also lost her family forever. The two people who would always wait for her to come home and nag at her had left this little courtyard forever, and no matter what changes she made in the future, they would never come back.
The little boy who was planning the future inadvertently saw his tearful mother, his heart ached, so he hurriedly trotted over, hugged his mother's thigh, and said softly: "Mom doesn't cry, you still have fate, fate will never leave you, mom is a woman favored by fate." ”
Letting go of her legs, the little boy took a few steps back and opened his arms as if to embrace the small courtyard. He smiled and said to his mother, "Mom, I will definitely restore this place to the way it looks in the photo." This is the home of grandparents, the home of mother, and the home of destiny in the future... It doesn't get much happier than that for me. ”
He looked at her and asked expectantly, "So mom don't be sad anymore, okay?" ”
Lin Wanqing raised her hand to cover her eyes and cried silently.
She didn't want her baby to see her crying twice in one day, and she didn't want him to see her fragility again.
The child walked up to her, reached out and grabbed the corner of the mother's clothes, and gently tugged at it a few times.
Lin Wanqing looked down, tears poured out even more, and she couldn't stop it.
The child with his eyes closed, with his arms open, seems to be waiting for something.
Lin Wanqing's lips trembled, she squatted down slowly with a whimper, and threw herself into his arms.
The child hugged his mother, happy like a second fool.
From this day on, he is an adult. He wants to carry her world on his back and become someone who can rely on his mother.
The overgrown yard is full of life and death. There are weeds that died in the harsh winter of last year and no one clears them, and there are new plants that grow with spring.
The vegetables and flowers, which were once orderly but abandoned because of the lack of care from their owners, struggled to withstand the scorching heat and cold, day after day, year after year, and never gave up. Some of them have been defeated by nature, some have been replaced by more resilient weeds, but many more are still struggling to hold on. They survive the winter solstice, usher in the warmth of spring, experience the cool summer, and accept the scorching heat, just to usher in a new owner again, become the grass on the shoulders of the master, and fly to the sun together.
In the courtyard where life and death coexist, one big and one small hug each other. A small wind swept up, bringing up some withered yellow leaves, and making the new plants sway from side to side. The whistling sound of leaves flying in the yard and the rustle of emerald green plants drifting in the wind seem to be welcome, and it seems to be silently comforting the mother and child who embrace each other.
The house is more than ten meters away, and it is also a relatively similar house, but compared to Tang Fate's two-story low building, it will be much higher, with five floors.
At this moment, it is more dilapidated than the child's house, it seems to have a gloomy fifth floor of the building, on the open window, the curtains rise and fall with the wind, a figure, hidden in the darkness of the room, a pair of calm eyes, as the curtains are blown up by the wind, falling, just like that, sometimes there are, sometimes not, staring directly at the mother and son embracing each other in the neighbor's yard.
The protest of the stomach disturbed the mother and son who hugged each other.
Parting, the little boy scratched his head with one hand and said a little shyly: "Mom, I'm hungry." ”
Lin Wanqing smiled softly, and reached out to help the child wipe the tears from his face, "Mom, I'm going to cook, do you want to be together?" ”
Tang Destiny's head shook directly into a broken wave, "Mom, fate has more important things to do." ”
Lin Wanqing glanced around the messy yard and said clearly: "The responsibility of cleaning up the yard will be handed over to my mother's little man." ”
Tang Destiny straightened up and saluted happily, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”
Lin Wanqing waved her hand, "Act separately, pay attention to your mother's instructions at any time, hear the instructions, gather at the table, and destroy the enemy together." ”
"Roger."
Lin Wanqing smiled and was about to stand up, but was pressed on her shoulders by a pair of small hands.
Lin Wanqing was puzzled.
The little boy looked at his hands, shook his head with some disgust, wiped his hands on the clean clothes on his body, took out a pack of tissues from his mother's bag, took out one, and carefully wiped the tears on his mother's face.
Lin Wanqing didn't move, just looking at this most gentle child in the world for her.
I don't know how long it has been, the little boy suddenly said with a solemn face: "Mom, promise fate, you must not look in the mirror, and do not go out." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Wanqing, who roughly understood what was going on, said seriously: "No, the fate of the can't, my mother is always a woman, how can a woman not look in the mirror?" ”
"Uh~" The little boy racked his brains and slapped his leg for the last time, and said loudly: "Mom must be the most beautiful flower-faced cat in the world." ”
Lin Wanqing smiled suddenly, reached out to hug the little boy, and was about to pick him up. It's a pity that I don't know if I squatted for too long, or if the child was too heavy, she failed, if it wasn't for the child's quick reaction, she almost fell to the ground.
Standing firm and waiting for the dizziness in her head to disappear, Lin Wanqing squatted down again, pointing to her cheeks that were a little flowery by foundation, "Fate kiss my mother." ”
The little boy didn't hesitate to kiss her on the cheek.
Lin Wanqing laughed and said: "The fate of my family, I will definitely be liked by countless girls in the future." ”
The little boy blinked and said displeasedly, "I don't want it, I just want my mother to like it." ”
Lin Wanqing stretched out a finger and poked the child's cheek lightly, "This, you don't count." ”
The child was a little confused.
Lin Wanqing got up with a smile, waited for the dizziness in her mind to fade, and opened the door and entered the house.
At this moment, she felt that her whole body was full of strength.
………………
"Mom, I'm out of the house."
"Well, stay safe, and be sure to come back before dark."
"Okay."
"Wife, is Xiaoyan going out too often this week?"
Lin Yuan, who was teasing Lin Yu, made a move and asked rhetorically: "Haven't you been following for a few days, and there is nothing else to gain except being beaten?" ”
Lin Zihai said dissatisfiedly: "What is stalking? I call this covert protection. ”
"It's still secretly protected, and they've become street rats." Lin Yuan said with disdain.
Lin Zihai sighed helplessly, "No way!" The neighborhood is the daughter's eyeliner and thug. ”
Lin Yuan was speechless. was treated as a perverted, stalker, and fat father, I'm afraid only Lin Zihai is the only one.
In fact, Lin Yuan was also a little worried. My daughter has been a little abnormal lately, and the first priority when I go home in the past is always my sister, but now I'm actually hanging out with my classmates, and it's my sister's turn to go home after dark.
"Don't worry about it, my daughter is fine, and her power is huge. Going out is just going to the nearby park with the little sister to kick the shuttlecock and jump the rope, which is normal. Lin Zihai is very relieved now. This is the answer he came up with after being beaten eight times in three days.
What made him even more speechless was that he was chased by a group of little kids with wooden sticks for more than a dozen streets.
"Wife, we seem to have some misunderstanding all along."
"Huh?" Lin Yuan turned her head to look at her husband.
Lin Zihai said with a solemn expression: "It seems that it is normal for children to go out to play after school, right?" It seems that we are the only ones who take my sister when I come home from school. ”
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
It seems to be true! Probably because Lin Yan was too sensible, which made her always subconsciously ignore the fact that she was just a child.
Lin Yan has been very distressed recently, very distressed.
She's been running to the park every day lately, why doesn't that little broken child show up? If you have done such an excessive thing to yourself, you don't need to apologize or be responsible?
Frivolous scumbag! Lin Yan secretly gave Xiao Po such a definition in his heart.
A little broken child who incarnated as a little vegetable farmer sneezed, raised his dirty face, looked left and right, saw nothing abnormal, lowered his head and continued to get busy.
It's the beginning of April, and the little tails of spring are almost slipping away, and if you want to eat fresh vegetables, you can't do it without working hard.
He wanted to save up the money for groceries as soon as possible so that his mother would not be so tired.
The fence on the right side of the yard should also be put up as soon as possible. Raising chickens and ducks as early as possible is the king.
And the small storage room on the left should also be emptied as soon as possible, renovated, and cleaned up. It's important to get your mother to eat pork regularly.
Although the schedule is full, the child does not feel tired at all, and the thought of making his mother live a good life makes the child feel that he has endless strength.
The footsteps came from far and near, and soon they reached the front of the courtyard, and Tang Destiny looked up in surprise and called Mom.
Lin Wanqing excitedly opened the courtyard door, trotted to the child, and asked excitedly, "Guess what good things Mom brought back for you?" ”
Tang Destiny thought for a moment, his face was happy, and he said loudly: "Is it a new vegetable seed?" ”
The corners of Lin Wanqing's mouth twitched.
Seeing that his mother's face was wrong, Tang Destiny looked his mother up and down trying to find any clues.
Melon seed face, most of the long brown hair is scattered behind, a small part of the naughty slightly cocked on the chest, and the forehead has air bangs. 1.67 meters tall, wearing a long black professional suit, a pure white underwear, and instead of high heels, he changed into a pair of black leather boots.
Well, it's still spicy and beautiful, and it's bubbling.
When he saw his mother's hands behind his back, his eyes lit up and he smiled confidently, "Hmph, Mom, I already know what it is." ”
Lin Wanqing smiled, put the A4 paper behind her in front of the child's eyes, and said excitedly: "That's right, it's the admission notice." ”
"It's a seedling of a fruit tree."
Lin Wanqing and Tang Zhiyuan's smiles on their faces were lost at the same time.
