Chapter 145: There is always a time to get together and leave
Wang was reluctant and kept looking at the backs of the husband and wife. However, in order not to make the Wang family too uncomfortable, or to run up, Mi Lu was ruthless and did not look back, and pulled Zhai Wei to stride forward.
Since some things can't be changed, you can only move forward.
Seeing that Wang was unhappy again, Mi Yuanwai said: "Why are you so hard, you are trampling your body in vain." It's just one night, and tomorrow the deer will come out again. How many words will not be able to be said then. ”
So saying, he put a cloak on her. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and the wind is starting to pick up at this time. That is, Wang insisted that he had to watch the couple leave. Otherwise, it would have been long overdue.
Hearing this, Wang said: "That's what I said, I also understand." However, I still felt very uncomfortable. When I thought that my daughter was right in front of me, but I couldn't go back to my home, and I became a member of someone else's family, I blamed myself for not taking a good look at her back then. You say, if she hadn't lost ...... in the first place."
Hearing this, Mi Yuanwai knew that this topic was another endless cycle. Since Milu was lost, the Wang family would start like this every time, endlessly.
"Okay, don't think about the past, the most important thing is that now my daughter is back. Think about it, after tomorrow, your daughter will be able to come home, right? By the way, didn't you say that you want to put some date cakes in the deer room? So the southern dates and sugar cakes have been chosen? ”
Mi Yuanwai knew that it was useless to say anything now, so it was better to change the topic and keep Wang busy. After so many years, Wang's mental state is only a little better when he is busy.
The years have ruthlessly destroyed her health, and it can't get any worse.
In the end, it is a family, and Mi Yuanwai still knows the Wang family very well. I have to say that this trick really worked.
As soon as he heard the word "jujube cake", Wang immediately came to his senses. Today, she was glued to her daughter almost all the time, and whenever she had time, she was thinking of ways to add something to her house, so she didn't have time to prepare food.
"Hey, look at my memory, I've forgotten about it. Good thing you reminded me. Let's go, go out with me again. "Wang now only wants to prepare the materials for the jujube cake.
Hearing this, Mi Yuanwai said, "What are you going out to do now?" ”
In fact, there are southern dates and sugar cakes at home, and fennel has been bought a long time ago, just to prepare for the needs of the Wang family. Speaking of which, fennel is also half a family, so she naturally knows the Wang family very well.
God knows they've been shopping all day today, almost half of the city. At the moment, his legs kept clamoring to rest. He really didn't want to go out anymore.
Hearing this, Wang said angrily: "Didn't you just say, we have to go out to buy ingredients." You forget, the southern jujube sold in my own Wang Ji shop is the most authentic, a big core and a small color, and the jujube cake made is the best. Also, I've got to buy some beans and go back. Ah, speaking of which, Lu'er likes to drink my ground soy milk the most when eating jujube cake. ”
Speaking of soy milk, this family hasn't drunk it again for more than ten years.
Anyway, how many days Milu has been lost, how many days have the family not bought beans. Without him, Wang always said that he panicked when he saw the beans. Since this is the case, the family does not dare to buy beans, and they dare not mention it.
Thinking of this, Mi Yuanwai's heart softened, and he said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll accompany you and let a few children go home." ”
Hearing the news, several people threw a grateful glance at Mi Yuan.
Today, all of them were instructed by the Wang family to run around to buy all kinds of gifts for Milu and his wife. Sometimes, I run up a few streets in order to bring a piece of osmanthus cake to Milu.
Now they are really tired and just want to go home and rest.
A few children went back, but Mi Yuanwai couldn't leave. Cheering up, Mi Yuan walked seven or eight streets with the energetic Wang, and only then did he arrive at the Wang Ji shop in Wang's mouth.
In fact, in the eyes of Mi Yuan, the things here are similar to those in other shops. Take the southern jujube as an example, it is not the same. However, Wang just stubbornly thinks that the things here are good, and he doesn't know how much the word "Benjia" has played.
Boss Wang is about to close the shop, after all, it is dark, and generally no one will come to patronize it again. When he turned around, he saw Wang coming with a smile, followed by a slightly tired Mi Yuanwai.
Seeing this, Boss Wang said: "Outside the rice staff, Mrs. Wang." Speaking of which, Madame didn't patronize it, I thought you wouldn't come? ”
Hearing this, Wang said with a smile: "Look at what you said, my deer is back, so I naturally want to come." It's not that you don't know that she loves to drink my ground soy milk. ”
"Yes, I haven't had time to congratulate Madame!"
He had heard about this new event that had caused a sensation in the city.
Along the way, after buying beans, Wang will think of osmanthus cake, and after buying osmanthus cake, he will think of Sipa. In short, she always has something to buy.
Seeing this, Mi Yuanwai had no choice but to say: "Madam, that osmanthus cake, according to me, it is better to come and get it early tomorrow morning, hot and fresh." Now I buy it back, but it's not new. ”
Wang listened to this sentence, and then followed the rice man home with a large bag and a small bag. The moment he stepped into the gate, Mi Yuanwai felt like he was going home, and he hurriedly ordered someone to lock the door.
Today, he really didn't want to go out again.
After returning home, he didn't bother to eat dinner, so Wang took tools and cleaned the stone mill again and again, and then ran into the house where Mi Lu was a child and put the things he had just bought into it.
It was arranged for most of the night, and then I lay down and rested excitedly.
On the second day, early in the morning, when the whole family was still sleeping, Wang took the money and went straight to the pastry stall on East Street to buy Mi Lu's favorite osmanthus cake when he was a child. With osmanthus cakes, I went to Zhang Ji Food Shop to buy steamed buns and fried spring rolls, and went to Lao Cheng's house to buy a few large bowls of pickles.
After thinking about it, I went to a deep alley and bought a lotus leaf chicken. Seeing that he really couldn't take it, he gave up and went home.
As soon as I got home, I went into the stove to check the beans that had been foaming last night. Seeing that all the beans were swollen badly, he pinched them with his own hands, and he was very satisfied, thinking that the beans he bought in Wang Ji's shop were still big.
Thinking about Milu's mouth again, he took the trouble to pick up the bean skin.
After doing this, the clean, smooth and tender peeled beans are put into the stone mill and the soy milk is ground against. After doing this, I found that I had no strength and couldn't pull it, so I cried in a hurry.
Fortunately, Mi Yuanwai knew that Wang would definitely not be able to sleep today, so he paid close attention to her movements. Who knows, because he was so tired yesterday, he still overslept. When he got dressed and walked out, he found that Wang was crying in front of the stone mill, sobbing and smoking, very sad.
Children are debts!
Sighing in his heart, Mi Yuanwai hurriedly walked to the stone mill and changed the topic while grinding: "Have you bought osmanthus cake?" By the way, what about lotus leaf chicken? If not, I'll let fennel buy it. ”
Hearing this, the Wang family said angrily: "Hmph, when you think about it, it is estimated that it will be sold out long ago." I've already bought it. I just waited for these beans to be ground and put into the pot, but I didn't have the strength. ”
The couple grinded beans while talking, and they were tired of the rice workers. To say that he is also almost fifty years old, he never thought that he would grind soy milk himself when he was old.
It is said that children are debts owed in the previous life, and he thought of this again in his heart.
In this way, he owed too much debt in his previous life.
finally grinded the beans, and Mi Yuanwai felt that Wang should be satisfied, at least he would not go to the kitchen to cook soy milk in person. Unbeknownst to him, Wang collected the ground beans carefully and went straight to the kitchen.
Tossed until the soybean milk came out of the pot, and the three children in the family got up, Wang freshened up seriously, and sat at the door waiting for the two Milu to come back.
Today is the Day of Tranquility.
Sure enough, Xu was afraid that the Wang family would wait too long, and just after breakfast time, Zhai Wei and Mi Lu appeared at the door. came along, and the little maid sent by the Zhai family, carrying all kinds of gifts in his hands.
It's a polite one.
Yesterday, the second elder of the Zhai family was really taken aback by the various gifts that Zhai Wei took home, to say that this in-law is really polite, as soon as he makes a move, there are a lot of them, there is almost everything. At the same time, the second elder was also happy in his heart, feeling that this family business was a pair.
Isn't it just about getting married?
Wang only had Mi Lu in his eyes, and after greeting Zhai Wei, he entertained with Mi Yuanwai and several sons, and he pulled his daughter into the house.
Looking at these dream-like places, whether familiar or unfamiliar, Mi Lu only felt that his nose was sour. However, when she thought of Wang, she couldn't help it.
Just let her pull it, babbling about the past.
Turning the verandah and passing by a few rooms, Wang pointed to a delicate room and said, "This is the house you lived in when you were a child." ”
When I entered the house, I saw that ** were all old things, but they were spotless and neat, obviously the Wang family did not let people move, and tried their best to keep them as they were.
Seeing that there was still a big table of food on the table, Mi Lu knew that this must have been prepared by the Wang family when he got up early in the morning. It's just that she set off after breakfast at Zhai's house.
What can I do?
In order not to satisfy the Wang's intentions, Mi Lu said: "Mother, are you all prepared in the morning?" Otherwise, I'll call my husband and eat together. By the way, did the older brothers and younger brothers eat? ”
Thinking of this, Wang said with some embarrassment: "I actually forgot about them." But it's okay, I'm more prepared, and this time it's cheaper for them. Fennel, you're going to call them over for breakfast. ”
Originally, Mi Lu felt that it was absolutely impolite for a few brothers to come to his room for dinner. But so what, it's just a meal, and after eating this one, who knows how many more meals you can sit and eat here?
Thinking of this, I also called someone to go with fennel.
Seeing the delicious food on the table, Mi Ye couldn't wait to take a bite of soy milk, take a bite of the bun, and eat a mouthful of jujube cake, then he opened his mouth and said, "Mother, these you make are really delicious." ”
The third child even said while eating: "Speaking of which, I haven't drunk my mother's soy milk yet." Well, that's good. Wow, this is the lotus leaf chicken made by Granny Zhou. God, this is the most hearty breakfast I've had in years. ”
Hearing this, Mi Lu knew in her heart that this was the first time that the Wang family had ground soy milk after more than ten years, and her fourth brother had naturally never drunk it.
Seeing that his brother said something that would remind everyone of something unhappy, Mi Ye hurriedly picked up a bun for him and successfully gagged him.
Seeing that Wang's eyes were full of anticipation, Mi Lu, who drank soy milk, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and tasted it, it was still hot, and it must have been bought by Wang when he got up early.
It's just that the moment she eats it, Mi Lu wants to spit it out, because she doesn't like the taste at all now, it's weird. It's just that when she saw Wang staring at herself, she had no choice but to take another sip of soy milk and swallow it hard.
When she was beaten by the family and swallowed the bran vegetables, she did think of the taste of osmanthus cake and thought it was the most delicious thing in the world. However, after more than ten years, why do you only find it difficult to swallow?
The osmanthus cake is still the osmanthus cake, and the taste has not changed. It's just that after people have experienced a lot of things, even their tastes have changed.
No matter how the Wang family wants to compensate her now, no matter how hard she tries, after all, more than ten years have passed, and it can no longer be recovered.
She used to hate the Wang family in her heart, because if she hadn't been negligent back then, she wouldn't have suffered so much. In the end, I had to leave my hometown, marry Shanxi, and live in a place that I was completely unfamiliar with.
However, looking at the white hair on Wang's sideburns and the one she made for herself, Mi Lu felt unbearable.
After breakfast, Wang, who had been in a state of excitement, took out a lot of clothes and jewelry for Mi Lu to try on. Mi Lu, who was originally a little impatient, endured it and dressed up according to Wang's preferences.
Sure enough, Wang was even more happy, and turned out all the dowry jewelry at the bottom of his box for a while. She has given birth to four children in her life, but she only has one daughter, Milu, so no one shares these with her on weekdays.
Needless to say, the sumptuous lunch made Zhai Wei a foodie to his heart's content. Although Wang did not continue to uncontrollably put vegetables into the rice deer bowl as he did at noon yesterday, he also recommended a lot, which is said to be what Mi Lu loved to eat when he was a child.
If the osmanthus cake is just a breakfast that makes Mi Lu feel unpalatable, then at noon, Mi Lu eats even more inappropriately.
Because whatever Wang recommended as a dish that she loved to eat when she was a child, she didn't like it either. At this point, she herself began to be confused, what was wrong?
Is it that your tastes have really changed, or do you subconsciously refuse all the dishes you loved when you were a child?
Or, she actually hates the Wang family in her heart?
Thinking of this, Mi Lu shook his head in his heart.
There is no overnight feud between mother and daughter. No matter what happened in the past, everything has passed, and she will not hate the Wang family.
At night, at Wang's deliberate request, Mi Lu and Wang slept in the same bed. At the beginning, neither mother nor daughter spoke, and after a while of silence, Wang said, "Lu'er, are you still blaming the mother?" I know it's my fault, I shouldn't have left you to find your second brother at that time. However, I didn't expect you to be abducted by Hanako in a moment......"
This time, Mi Lu did not answer Wang.
Seeing that Mi Lu was silent, Wang confirmed in his heart that Mi Lu was still blaming her, so Wang stopped crying, as if he thought of something, turned over and got up.
"Mother, it's so late, what are you doing when you get up?"
Wang Shi did not answer her abnormally, and just walked out on his own.
Seeing this, Mi Lu sat up, a little at a loss.
Just now, the reason why she didn't answer Wang's question was not because she still blamed her, but because she really didn't want Wang to continue to live with such a burden.
Even if the Zhai family could understand her and let her live in Qingshan County for a few more days, they would have to go back to Shanxi after all. At that time, the Wang family still needed to face the days without her.
Since you can live so many years, you can also live it in the future. Whether it's her or the Wang family, it's the same.
Sometimes, success in finding relatives is not a panacea, and it can't make up for anything. Because after years of change, everyone has their own life. It's hard, or impossible, to compromise with each other.
Rather than letting Wang's liver and intestines break after she leaves, it is better to let her learn to be disappointed and adapt now. People always have to live.
So, from beginning to end, Mi Lu forcibly refused to comfort the Wang family and made himself look colder.
Wang, who got up by himself, didn't know where he went, so he came into the house after a while, but there was a stack of boxes piled up on his chest.
Each box is so festive, like a gift box.
In fact, Mi Lu guessed well.
Placing these gift boxes on the table, Wang arranged them one by one, as if they were arranged according to the traces of time.
After getting it done, Wang said to Mi Lu: "After you left, every year when it came to your birthday, I never forgot it." There are a total of thirteen boxes here, all of which were specially bought for you by your mother on your birthday. Why don't you take a look? ”
Seeing that Mi Lu seemed unmoved, Wang said to himself: "This was bought on your sixth birthday, and it is a skirt. You know, although my mother's needlework is good, but since you left, my mother can't needlework, her hands are shaking so much, she can't do anything. ”
"I bought it on your seventh birthday, and it's a string of pearls. Your skin is white, and it looks best when wearing this round pearl. You know that the jewelry in this shop is the most exquisite. ”
"This one was bought on your eighth birthday, and it's an ancient jade. That time, I took a fancy to this piece of jade while walking around with your father, and I thought it was the most suitable for you to wear. Your eldest brother insisted on robbing me, and I didn't even think about slapping him. ”
"It's your ......"
Wang, who was still immersed in his memories, continued to speak, but was hugged by Mi Lu from behind. So she began to cry and could not say a word.
Mi Lu also cried, she knew that the Wang family had not had such a difficult time these years.
If she did suffer inhuman torture, but is the Wang family doing well? Perhaps, with the comfort of Mi Yuanwai and her three sons, her wounds can heal once a year.
However, when it comes to his birthday, he will cruelly tear apart Wang's unscabbed wound and be bloody.
Year after year, it simply doesn't heal.
The thirteen boxes in front of her were like thirteen slaps in the face, and they slapped her the face, and slapped her heart.
With all that in mind, what is she not satisfied with?
After crying, both Wang and Mi Lu laughed.
It was also at this moment that Mi Lu understood in her heart that the wall between her and the Wang family had collapsed.
Looking at the largest and newest box, Mi Lu said, "Mother, did you buy this box for me this year?" ”
"yes, I bought it on your birthday this year." Wang said, "You can try it and see if it fits." ”
Mi Lu carefully opened the box, this was the first time she had opened a gift in so many years. When I opened the box, I saw that there was a small box inside. Wang said: "This small box contains a pair of earrings, which are also produced in Zhenbaozhai. ”
After picking up the box and opening it, Mi Lu found that it was a pair of leaf-shaped earrings, which turned out to be her favorite style. Thinking of this, I continued to look at the big box, and there was a set of light yellow dresses lying quietly inside.
The color is tender and yellow, like the tender color of spring.
In Wang's expectant gaze, Mi Lu put on the earrings and put on the dress, and was surprised to find that everything was so perfect, and the size was not bad at all, this time it was her turn to be surprised, and looked at Wang with a surprised face.
Wang said a little shyly: "This size is the size I wore when I was seventeen years old." ”
What is Mother and Daughter? Probably that's the best way to interpret it.
So, in the middle of the night, Wang and Mi Lu tried on various dresses in the house until dawn.
At dawn, everyone felt that there was a difference between the Wang family and Mi Lu. However, what exactly is different, no one can say clearly.
Only the parties know that there was a test between them.
After returning home, the Zhai family also made careful preparations, and then agreed to the request of the Wang couple to visit.
Mi Yuanwai husband and wife are knowledgeable, the second elder of the Zhai family is not bad, although they don't read much, but at least there is no shortage of silver in the family, so the two families who have been saving their hearts and pleasing each other feel more and more satisfied with the right eye.
In this way, after the collusion outside the rice staff, the old man of the Zhai family made a decision on the spot, and then stayed in Qingshan County for half a month.
This made the Wang family happy, and after he went back, he bought a lot of gifts and sent them over. The second elder of the Zhai family naturally refused to fall behind, and in line with the principle of courtesy and exchange, he returned a lot of courtesy.
This made Zhai Wei, who was busy running errands, a little "dissatisfied", and said puzzledly: "It's better not to send it back and forth." ”
In the next half month, the Wang family took Mi Lu to visit relatives everywhere, so the relatives knew that Mi Lu had successfully found a home, and now he was married and married well.
With some emotion, time flew by.
Half a month is fleeting.
The Wang family originally thought that Mi Lu would be able to get pregnant within half a month, so the Zhai family would not let Mi Lu rush with her body pregnant, saying that they had no choice but to raise a fetus here, and it was best to wait for the child to be born.
They can also hug their grandchildren.
It's a pity that the heavens failed people's wishes, Milu was not pregnant after all, and the Zhai family really wanted to go back to Shanxi. After all, Shanxi is their hometown, and there are still many things waiting for them to go back and deal with.
On the day of departure, Wang and Mi Lu looked at each other with their hands, speechless and choked, but they couldn't help it.
Seeing the carriage getting farther and farther away, Wang began to cry.
She gave birth to four children in her life, and experienced the twists and turns of Milu being lost and refounded, with great sorrow and joy, but in the end, she still had to separate.
Fortunately, she also has three sons, and all of them are leading people to the house, rather than going out.
Seeing Wang's sadness, Mi Yuanwai said proudly: "What are you crying for, what do you say you are crying about, Lu'er is going home, there is her own world there." If you think so about your daughter, let's clean up the house first, and I'll take you to Shanxi for a walk in a while, okay? ”
Hearing this, Wang smiled.
It's just that she knows in her heart that this is just her father-in-law's words to comfort herself. Since Mi Lu was lost, she has devoted herself to finding her children, and her three sons, especially the eldest are almost innate.
Now, he is about to get married, the second child is about to get married, and the third child is still young. When the eldest gets married, she will be a grandmother. One by one, which one is not a thing, and which one does not need her to ask in person?
Her heart has always been threefold, one in Mi Lu, one in Mi Yuanwai, and one in her sons.
It was, it is, and it will always be.
As for Milu, after all, it is far away, and everything is just a matter of fate.
I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles.
