Chapter 51: Fate
Early the next morning, Mo Hongming returned to Mo's house together accompanied by Ye Jingshu and Ye Cheng.
Along the way, Mo Hongming kept his head down and kept silent. His brows were furrowed, his steps were slow, and his hands were stirring and squeezing together.
Ye Jingshu saw Mo Hongming's appearance and felt very funny: This is probably the so-called "hometown timidity"! So I started to tease:
"Hongming, when you walk, why are your hands still clenched so tightly?"
But Mo Hongming didn't seem to hear Ye Jingshu's question, and still walked forward on his own, immersed in his own world.
Seeing this, Ye Cheng walked up to Mo Hongming, went up and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Hongming, Jingshu asked you, why didn't you say anything?"
The sudden application of external force caused Mo Hongming to tremble strongly. After a slight pause, he came back to his senses.
"Ahh Sister Ye, you call me? I'm sorry, I just ran away. ”
Looking at the two black and blue balls under Mo Hongming's eyes, Ye Jingshu sighed silently:
It's not easy for this kid. ran away from home with youth and vigor, and I don't know what kind of ups and downs I went through, making me haggard and exhausted.
Now that I am about to see my long-lost relatives, no one will have no waves in their hearts.
Even if Ye Jingshu could guess eight or nine points about Mo Hongming's thoughts, in order to alleviate the current dull and depressing atmosphere, Ye Jingshu still asked:
"Hongming, what were you thinking just now?"
I saw Mo Hongming raise his head, look at Ye Jingshu embarrassedly, and whispered about the long-pent-up thoughts.
"Sister, I haven't been home for several years."
The corners of his mouth trembled, and there was a hint of crying in Mo Hongming's voice:
"Back then, I was really uncompetitive, lazy and lazy, with low eyes. Grandpa asked me to inherit his craft, but ......"
After stopping for a few seconds and hesitating again and again, Mo Hongming made up his mind:
"Sister Ye, Brother Cheng, I said don't be angry."
"Seeing my grandfather coming and going in the wind and rain, running around for most of his life and still doing low-level work, I ...... I really don't want to be like him for the rest of my life......"
Mo Hongming's appearance is very similar to the students who have just walked out of the campus in the later life:
After reading books for many years, and having parents holding them at home, as soon as I suddenly entered the society, I didn't look down on the work that was too low-level, and the starting point was higher, and I was reluctant to do it. In the end, nothing came of it.
"Hongming, have you ever heard a sentence called 'look up at the starry sky and keep your feet on the ground?' It is a good thing to have lofty ideals, but 'all tall buildings rise from the ground', and everything must be done step by step. ”
Ye Jingshu looked at Mo Hongming now, and thought of herself at the beginning:
"Besides, there is no distinction between high and low work. As long as you put your heart into it, you can get a lot of gains. ”
"Look at Grandpa Mo, although he only makes braised pig's trotters, he has practiced his skills to the extreme. Mo Ji has become the white moonlight in the hearts of many people! There is no shame in making money with your own craft. ”
Ye Jingshu's eyes were open, and her eyes were sincere. Mo Hongming became more and more ashamed after reading it:
"Sister Ye, Brother Cheng, I didn't understand these truths before. But now I understand, but nothing has been accomplished. Will my grandparents disown me? ”
Seeing Mo Hongming's face with shame and red eyes, Ye Jingshu suddenly felt envious in her eyes.
Yao thought that he ignored the advice of his parents and insisted on going his own way, and finally ended up dying in a foreign country, and he didn't even see his mother's last face.
Mo Hongming still has grandparents waiting for him. Besides, people's greatest capital is youth, as long as they are young, they will have the opportunity to start over.
You can ...... it yourself After stumbling for 20 years, looking back on it is a hundred years of ......
Taking a deep breath, Ye Jingshu tried her best to suppress the surging grief, turned her head, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Ye Cheng, who was beside him, keenly noticed the change in Ye Jingshu's mood, and everywhere he looked, he found that Xiao Maotuan was in tears.
"Jingshu, why are you crying?"
Ye Jingshu shook her head and didn't say much, just lightly apologized for her gaffe:
"I'm sorry, I was blinded by the wind and sand just now."
At this time, even Mo Hongming, who had a rough line, sensed that something was wrong with the current atmosphere, stepped forward in a panic, and hurriedly prepared to go up to wipe away Ye Jingshu's tears.
But before he touched Ye Jingshu's shoulder, Mo Hongming's hand was moved away by Ye Cheng without a trace:
"My child, I'm here to comfort you."
This time, Ye Jingshu was completely amused by him:
This old man is really good, he even eats the vinegar of his little brother......
However, seeing Ye Cheng so tightly about himself, Ye Jingshu's heart was instantly filled with happiness. Warm, soft.
After a while, Ye Jingshu calmed down and continued to bring the topic back to Mo Hongming:
"Hongming, although you have not been at home all these years, you believe me, Grandpa Mo and Grandma Mo remember you very much in their hearts. As long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work, you will one day be recognized by everyone. ”
With Ye Jingshu's encouragement, Mo Hongming gradually let go of the uneasiness in his heart, and even his steps became brisk.
Suddenly, Mo Hongming had a flash of inspiration and asked Ye Jingshu:
"Sister Ye, how did you guess my identity?"
In fact, this is also the problem that has been bothering me all night.
It stands to reason that he, Mo Hongming, ran away from home a few years ago, and according to his grandfather's violent temper and face-loving temperament, he would definitely not take the initiative to mention himself to Sister Ye.
Ye Jingshu listened, smiled, and winked mischievously:
"Boy, it's all a routine!"
Ye Jingshu's unfathomable expression completely aroused Mo Hongming's curiosity. At this time, the young man began round after round of soft grinding and hard foaming.
"Sister Ye, tell me, okay? What's the routine? ”
"Sister Ye, you're the best......"
"You're my sister......"
However, no matter how coquettish Mo Hongming was, Ye Jingshu gritted her teeth and never spoke.
In fact, Ye Jingshu already knew Mo Hongming's identity at the first glance when she saw him.
With a self-deprecating smile, Ye Jingshu couldn't help but sigh: Fate is really destined in the previous life.
In his previous life, after he married into the Pu family, the unconscious eldest brother ran out to cause trouble in three days: fights, abductions, and abduction were commonplace for Pu Dagui.
Occasionally, if she injured someone, or stole something and was caught, her mother-in-law would always let her go over and spend some money to bail someone out.
I remember one time, Pu Dagui had a verbal altercation with a little brother in the slaughterhouse when he was delivering goods in the slaughterhouse, and he knocked people to the ground in three or two strokes.
Of course, the young man's family will not give up, and under the thunderous means, Pu Dagui was directly sentenced to two years.
Ye Jingshu noticed Mo Hongming next door to Pu Dagui when she was delivering food to her eldest brother-in-law.
At that time, he was different from the current youth, his face was full of wind and frost, and the wrinkles on his face were crisscrossed.
Listening to Pu Dagui, this person was originally the head of the well-known "Mo Ji Cooked Food" in City A. But he was young and frivolous, wandered away from home, and suffered a lot.
Later, somehow, he was involved in a drug trafficking case and served more than ten years in prison after being arrested.
finally returned to his hometown after the sentence expired, but he learned that the only two relatives had already returned to the world.
The grief-stricken Mo Hongming blamed all the mistakes on the leading brother who fled.
Thousands of miles rushed to the river, and in a fit of anger, he came to the eldest brother. And Mo Hongming himself was sentenced to death for intentional homicide.
When Ye Jingshu saw him in the previous life, Mo Hongming's affairs were already powerless, and his life had entered the countdown......
The past is gone. Fortunately, Mo Hongming has not yet reached a dead end in this life, and there is still a chance to reunite with Old Man Mo and his grandmother. And so is myself.
Looking at Ye Cheng, who was looking at him affectionately, Ye Jingshu felt a burst of satisfaction in her heart.
During the fight, the three of them had already arrived at the door of Old Man Mo's house. Looking at the familiar black lacquer door, Mo Hongming's nose was sour, and two lines of tears flowed out at once.
Looking at Mo Hongming, who had mixed feelings, Ye Jingshu stepped forward and smiled gently, gently patted Mo Hongming's shoulder and said:
"Hongming, don't be nervous, I'll knock on the door."
Mo family.
The old man had just sat up from the bed when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who, this early morning! It's not a good idea at all! ”
Grandma Mo, who had just made breakfast, looked at the angry face of her old man, and said with a smile:
"You bad old man, don't even look at what time it is! Still want to stay in bed? ”
Since Old Man Mo passed on his skills to Ye Jingshu, he has lived a leisurely life: playing tai chi, yo-yo birds, and sitting by the lake with his wife in his spare time.
In business, anyway, the apprentices are angry, and the "Mo Ye" business is in full swing, and the old man Mo is also happy to be idle, and he picks up the dividends with peace of mind every month.
Hearing his wife's complaints, the old man was not annoyed, but his old face drooped down and he was coquettish:
"Oh, you're going to let me sleep a little longer, it's only half past seven!"
When Grandma Mo heard this, she was completely anxious:
"You are not ashamed, sleep and sleep! Know you're comfortable all day long! Didn't you hear a knock on the door outside? Hurry up, numb, don't let people see the old face when the time comes! ”
Old Man Mo shouted impatiently, but the movements in his hands were not dragged at all:
"Hey! Who could there be at such an early age? It must be Ye Yatou who is here! Oh, I guess, there's still that Ye Cheng next to me......"
"Anyway, it's the apprentice and her object, it's not too much to let them wait a little longer!"
With that, he lifted his chin proudly.
Here, as soon as Grandma Mo heard Ye Cheng's name, she had already opened her legs and was about to open the door. Turning his head, he looked like a "gossip old age gene", and leaned over with a smile:
"Hey, wife, you say, do we Jingshu and that Ye Cheng really mean that?"
I saw Old Man Mo wave his hand, raised his eyebrows with a smile, and said proudly:
"Isn't that obvious! What are you doing here, mother-in-law? Go open the door! ”
