By the time I opened the wooden door in the backyard of the house, the sun was already slightly setting in the west. The tall Calamus Mansion was majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the firewood house in the backyard was hidden in the long shadow of the wall, pitiful as an ant that was barely breathing.

Here, she and her mother have lived for two whole years, and they have been as humble as ants for two years.

Carrying a heavy bamboo basket into the house, his compassionate face also turned into a hint of sunshine when he stepped into the threshold, "Mother, I'm back!" ”

When the woman in the house heard the voice, she immediately raised her head and smiled softly at the girl, "Pu'er, come and see, my mother has finally embroidered this picture of a hundred birds, fortunately it can be completed before your father's birthday, and your father will be very happy when he sees it." ”

She looked at her mother's happy face stupidly, and suddenly felt so painful in her throat.

She really wanted to rush forward and tear the embroidery off, throw it on the ground and step on it a few times, she really wanted to ask her mother loudly, since he no longer loves us, why do you keep him in her heart like a god!

In the past two years, his birthday, New Year's holidays, his mother's affairs are no small, like a yellow calendar, hanging on his lips, every time he has to carefully embroider a picture to send, for which his eyes are red, tired of his body, but what about him, what has he done to his mother, what has he done to their mother and daughter! He didn't even bother to step into the backyard!

Throwing the bamboo basket on the ground in a sluggish manner, her footsteps did not move, "I'm not interested, I don't want to see it." ”

"Pu'er......" The woman's eyes darkened, and she immediately lowered her head, and there was a hint of choking in her voice, "Don't talk to your mother like this, okay?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.

"Mother, I didn't mean to ...... with you" The girl bit her lip, for fear that her mother would hurt her heart.

"Pu'er," as if she had long been accustomed to it, the woman put away the embroidery, carefully placed it in the basket, and when she looked at her again, her face had regained its previous tenderness, "If you don't want to see it, then the mother will put it away." Just, don't hate him, okay. ”

There was a hint of sadness in the gentle voice, "He, after all, is your father." ”

She nodded, "Yes." ”

However, the hatred in my heart is like an endless sea, spreading boundlessly.

Yes, how can she not hate, seeing that her mother is getting haggard day by day, he didn't even step into the backyard to take a step to look at her mother.

And how could she not hate.

sighed, stepped forward helplessly, and held my mother's hands, "Okay, okay, it's Pu'er's mistake, mother, don't be sad, okay." ”

"Pu'er," the woman's lips squirmed, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared on her beautiful face, "Pu'er, mother's ......" She stopped talking for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry." ”

"Mother......

Suddenly remembering something, the girl's dark eyes suddenly brightened, withdrew her hands from her mother's hands, and then took out a bright yellow paper bag from her arms, "Mother, this is a freshly baked pear blossom cake, Pu'er has been holding it in her arms, and it is still hot, mother, hurry up and eat it while it is hot." ”

"Pear blossom cake?" The woman's face was stunned when she looked at the paper bag, and there was suddenly a hint of questioning in her tone, "Pu'er, where did you get the money, didn't you calculate that after we bought things this time, we only had a penny left?" ”

The girl smiled slightly, "It's Ah Yang-"

Unexpectedly, before she could finish answering, the woman had already swept out the pear blossom cake in her hand, and there was a trace of anger on her beautiful face, "Pu'er, how many times has my mother told you, don't just ask for other people's things, especially those gangster things!" Why don't you listen! ”

"I, I didn't do it casually, yes,"

"You still dare to slam your mouth!" A slap was thrown on her face, and a trace of tears flowed from the corners of the woman's eyes, mixed with a trace of heartache that hatred of iron is not made of steel, "In vain, I Du Sujuan raised you with hard work, Pu'er, how can you be so shameless, your father is a dignified Luocheng outsider, if your matter spreads, where can your father's face be put from now on!" ”

The slap was so hard that it hit her with stars in the eyes.

The grievances in my heart are a thousand times more painful than my face.

Mother, mother, why didn't you listen to Pu'er's words, Pu'er is talking about Ayang's sister-in-law who sells pear cakes on West Street, not Ayang, the ruffian hooligan in Dongcheng. Why did you not choose to believe your daughter in the first place, but blurted out that you were afraid that the man would lose face? That man is so important in your heart, and Pu'er should be nothing?

However, I am the daughter of you who personally trained me, and I am the daughter of Du Sujuan, the first virtuous lady in Los Angeles.

How can I disgrace you?

Resisted the grievances in his heart and squatted on the ground.

The snow-white pear blossom cake had been shattered and collapsed on the ground, as if it was also silently shedding tears.

Carefully picked up the undirty part, and desperately warned himself, Calamus, my mother is just worried about you, and her raised face is like a flower, "Mother, you misunderstood, this is given to us by Ayang's sister-in-law who sells pear blossom cakes in the west of the city, not the hooligan Ayang in the east city, Niang, Pu'er never dared to smear her mother's face, because Pu'er is the daughter of the first virtuous lady in Los Angeles, and Pu'er is her mother's daughter." ”

"Pu'er......" The woman was stunned after hearing Ayang's sister-in-law's name, and suddenly remembered that the woman selling pear blossom cake on the West Street was indeed called Ayang's sister-in-law, and understood that she had misunderstood her daughter, and an unusually remorseful expression suddenly appeared on her face, "Pu'er, I'm sorry, I ......"

"Mother," stood up happily with a happy face, and her tone was full of lightness, "Don't doubt Pu'er anymore, okay, Pu'er knows that Pu'er is worried about Pu'er, and Pu'er has always been quiet and never provokes others." Would you like to try some pear blossom cake? ”

Seeing that the woman's face was full of guilt and was about to cry again, she hurriedly held the pear blossom cake in front of her mother's eyes, "What my mother wants to say, Pu'er understands, but now this good pear blossom cake is going to whine and mourn, if my mother doesn't eat it again, it will really hate my mother!" ”

With a "poof", the woman suddenly turned from crying to laughter, but her nose was full of sourness, and her heart was also full of guilt.

pinched up a piece of broken pear blossom cake and handed it to the girl's mouth, "Pu'er, my mother doesn't want to eat it today, why don't Pu'er eat it on behalf of my mother, okay?" ”

She shook her head, looking disgusted, "No, last time a piece of pear blossom cake almost burst my stomach, so I don't want to suffer again." ”

"But......" the woman muttered.

The girl couldn't wait to interrupt, "Oh, my mother just eat it quickly, you see Pu'er's dirty hands, you have to go and wash it quickly." ”

Put the pear blossom cake in his hand on the table, and fled, unable to bear the slightest embarrassment in front of him.

Actually, how can my mother really not want to eat it, her favorite is the pear blossom cake, but after the pear blossom cake fell to the ground, the clean part is only more than three or two bites, and the mother wants to give her something delicious!

Looking at the room through the window, she saw that her mother was extra careful to stuff the pear blossom cake into her mouth little by little, and there was a satisfied expression on her face, and an irrepressible sourness surged in her heart.

It turns out that a penny can really stump a hero, but she is so depressed that she can't even buy a small piece of pear cake to satisfy her mother......

Raising his hand to his mouth, he greedily licked the remnants of the pear blossom cake stained in his palm, the rich fragrance was so good, as his throat poured into his lungs, the whole stomach was filled with a faint aroma of pear blossoms.

trembling, he clenched his palms and glanced at the mother in the house again.

Calamus, you have to remember this smell from the bottom of your heart.

In the days to come, you will have to buy pear blossom cake for your mother that you will never finish.

Calamus, you must!

By the time she returned to the house, her mother had already finished eating the pear blossom cake and sat down in front of the couch again to thread the needle.

The round bamboo inlay flew up and down with the gesture of the mother, and the strands of colored silk threads made a landscape between the cloths, turning into colorful abundance.

Mother's skillful hands, not Xiao Xiao is shocked, and it can be regarded as the nine girls hanging in the dust.

Seeing her enter the house, the woman couldn't help but raise her head, "Pu'er, can you do my mother a favor...... Send this picture of a hundred birds to the mother? ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the table in the middle of the room.

There, neatly stacked with the mother's embroidered birthday picture, white background, flowers and birds, swarming to the free sky, exquisite.

Several mean faces suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but sink her face and said, "Are you going to the front yard again?" ”

If you don't go, can you?

Jiang Zhenghe said that unless invited by a major festival, the mother is not allowed to step into the front yard for half a step, and she is reluctant to enter and exit the front yard because of the blood flowing in the Jiang family, so every time she sends something to the front yard, it is the mother who asks her to go on her behalf. It's just that every time I go to deliver something for my mother, I have to be humiliated by the people in the front yard......

Every time I think of this, the fist in my hand has to be clenched tighter and tighter.

However, seeing her mother's begging face, she finally sighed and took the embroidery from her mother's hand, "Okay, I'll send it." ”

It's just that at the moment of going out, glancing at her mother's eyes full of expectations, she suddenly wanted to ask her mother a question:

Is it really necessary for us to do this?

The front yard of the dog fighting people, the front yard full of indifference, the front yard where money is supreme and desperation is supreme, who can understand the hardships and painstaking efforts of the mother?

Will he?

Biting her lip, she finally swallowed the words back into her stomach, it has not been easy for her mother over the years, so why bother to add a little worry to her?

Holding the bird map tightly in his arms, the girl's brows furrowed tightly, Jiang Zhengyan, will he be there? Now he is either accompanying the amorous Cui Hongrou, or he is busy flattering the powerful ministers in the court, right?

As soon as I walked into the front yard, I saw a little girl dressed richly, holding the little master who was in swaddling clothes, walking in the direction of the garden step by step.

The pink Suzhou embroidered Yunxia gown looks really good on her body, and she knows which daughter it is at a glance. The little girl seemed to be in a good mood, and when she walked, she jumped and jumped, until the silver bell on her wrist rang crisply.

A trace of bitterness appeared on her face, and if the dividing line was obvious enough, they were also the children of Jiang Zhenghe, they were wearing gold and silver silk and satin, but she was......

Stand still, dodge to make a way for the oncoming people, although I don't want to talk to them, but the minimum etiquette still needs to be understood. Mother said that between brothers and sisters, we must respect and love each other, they can be indifferent to the point of ignoring family affection, but she can't.

Breaking bones and connecting tendons, they always have a blood relationship that is constantly abandoned.

But he didn't want the little girl to rush straight over, so he pushed her to the side domineeringly, and her domineering attitude was like an unstoppable flood, "Calamus, what kind of thing are you, you dare to stand in the way of Miss Ben?" You can also come and go in and out of the compound of the Mansion? ”

Such an arrogant move, such a sharp tone......

The girl's expression was stunned, "Yiliu ......"

"Don't call Miss Ben's name! If you want to call the eldest lady, does the eldest lady know? The little girl brutally interrupted her words, deliberately elongated the word "big", and her face was full of arrogance, "Every time I tell you, I don't know how to remember it in my head, it's really worthy of being born by that woman, it's just stupid and dull like a pig!" ”

That woman!

Calling her like this, the girl only felt a surge of anger rise in her heart.

With an annoyed face, he stood firm, staring at the little girl's eyes like a torch, "Jiang Yiliu, you can insult me, but you can't insult my mother!" ”

"Don't forget," she glared at her word after word, clenching her fists, "she's your mother!" ”

Pregnant for ten months, the mother who worked hard to bring you to this world!

"Mother?" The little girl's lips pursed, her eyes were obviously full of disdain and hatred, and her tone was three points vicious and seven points mocking, "It's really thanks to her, it's because she is my own mother that Miss Ben is so embarrassed that she can't hold her head up in the mansion!" Mother?! Hmph, she is the shame of my Yiliu in this life! ”

"Willow! You! He raised his hand high, and tried his best to restrain his body trembling with anger, but the grief and indignation in his heart burned like a volcano.

How can you say that about your own mother!

How can anyone say that about their own mother!

A lifetime of shame? How can you, Yiliu!

But she didn't want to face her raised palm, but instead of being afraid, the little girl grabbed her wrist instead, "Calamus, you actually dare to slap Miss Ben?" Why, I thought you were the old lady of the Mansion, me! Do you believe it or not, I'll tell my dad to go, you teamed up with that woman to bully me? ”

After speaking, he glanced at her proudly, "Calamus, you shouldn't really want to see that woman crying, right?" Every time before her father could speak, the woman pretended to be pitiful with teary eyes, as if the whole world had wronged her, which made people disgusted to watch! ”

"You!" Despite the raging anger, the girl gritted her teeth and lowered her arms.

Turn around and leave as if nothing had happened. But in my heart, I was trying my best to swallow the pain in my heart.

Calamus, you have to hold back, being scolded for two sentences is indispensable for a piece of meat.

Calamus, you can't cry, you have to protect your mother well.

And now, staying away from this little devil who recognizes the thief as his father and causing a disaster to his mother is the protection of his mother.

But he didn't want to turn around and before he took two or three steps, a leg suddenly stretched out from his feet, tripping him, and his back was also pushed hard by a palm.

The body lost its balance in an instant, and slammed into the bluestone floor in front of it.

The moment her knees hit the ground, and at the same time as the sharp pain hit, she clearly heard a slight sneer from behind her, accompanied by a vicious word, "You deserve it."

Deserve.

Gritting his teeth, he endured the pain and got up, the cloth in his hand had already fallen to a place three feet away in the process just now, and a large number of birds surged out and rushed to the sky, as if they were silently crying.

The blood on his knees was dripping, and he hurriedly ran to pick up the bird picture that fell to the ground, even if he had something to do, but the bird picture couldn't be fine, it was the mother's bird picture, it was the birthday gift that the mother gave to his father, and it was the mother's hard work for many days and nights......

However, the snow-white cloth was already covered with black dirt, and no matter how hard she tried to beat it, it could not be erased.

What should I do if the cloth is dirty? Send it over, Jiang Zhenghe will definitely disdain to accept it, but if you take it back...... Thinking of her mother's sleepless night, thinking that her mother would cry, she had to wrap the cloth tightly in her arms.

Be careful, how to care for a newborn baby.

It's just that the tears keep falling, mother, what should I do, what should I do with you, what should I do with Yiliu? I'm just a fifteen-year-old, what should I do?

Gritting her teeth, enduring the pain, getting up from the ground, and then holding the bird map tightly in her arms, she finally decided to go to the hall to find Jiang Zhengyan.

In her heart, her mother is the most important, as long as it is her mother's wish, even if it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, what does it matter?

Calamus, you are right, being scolded and scolded is indispensable for a piece of meat, and being humiliated is also indispensable for a piece of meat.

As long as my mother is happy, as long as my mother is happy, it will be fine.

Just as he was about to walk forward, a heart-rending cry suddenly came from not far behind him, mixed with a trace of frightened helplessness and sadness, "Help! ”

As soon as her footsteps stopped, she hurriedly turned around, only to see Jiang Yiliu standing by the lake crying and wiping her tears, stomping her feet and crying. On the surface of the sparkling lake, a small dark blue cloth wrap is floating and sinking with the blue waves, and the baby wrapped in the small cloth, the eldest young master of the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Zongli, is crying in the water.

There was a roar in her head, and the first reaction was: The little master has fallen into the water!

The bird map in her hand rushed over as fast as she could, picking up a branch under her feet by the way, she stood by the lake and shouted in a scorching voice, "Zong Li, don't be afraid, my sister is here to save you!" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he leaned out, before he could gain a firm foothold, there was already a push behind him!

She only felt that the soles of her feet were unbalanced again, and the whole person didn't have time to exclaim, she had already "plopped" and fell into the water!

And behind him, there was also the sound of Yi Liu crying and grabbing the ground, "Come on, help, Daddy, my sister threw my brother into the lake, Daddy hurry up and save my brother!" ”

Forgetting what kind of consternation it was, and what kind of panic it was, between the ups and downs, she suddenly saw an extremely familiar face appear on the shore, that face was full of anxiety, and kept roaring angrily behind her, "What are you still stunned about, don't hurry up and go into the water to save people!" ”

A figure quickly rushed to the edge of the lake, took off its coat and jumped into the lake with a "plop".

An ordered voice immediately sounded on the shore, "Hurry up and get the little master, if the little master has three long and two short, I will kill you!" ”

With Jiang Zhenghe's order, the subordinates quickly scooped up the small cloth wrap containing the young master, and after a splash of water, with the approach of the navy blue cloth wrap, the little master had been successfully lifted ashore.

And in his ears, he also clearly heard the gloomy voice of Jiang Zhenghe, "Quick, hurry up and take the little young master back to Madame's bedroom, and quickly order the kitchen to boil some ginger soup to ward off the cold." ”

probably saw that the person holding the little young master did not move, and a gloomy sentence came from the shore, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up, do you hear it!" ”

"But, but the eldest lady, she is still in the water......" The voice holding the little young master hesitated a little.

"Leave her alone!" But he didn't want to refuse directly in a gloomy voice, "Such a vicious person, it's good to drown her, just to remove a scourge from the world!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

It's good to drown her, just in time to remove a scourge from the world!

Such a resolute and vicious voice, such a cold and ruthless voice, does not even carry any trace of the affection between father and daughter...... As if she was nothing to him!

Scourge!

She only felt a chill in her heart, and the faith she had always believed in in her life suddenly collapsed in an instant.

It collapsed completely, and it was desperate......

I remember what my mother has always said, family affection is thicker than blood.

No matter when and where, she and them are always relatives, relatives, and there is a natural relationship that binds them, and they are all involved.

For this reason, she has worked hard with her mother countless times, flattered her, endured it, but also looked forward to it!

However, what kind of family affection is this thicker than blood? A sister who wants to bully me all the time and wants to cure me to death, and a father who wants to get rid of my "scourge" without indiscriminate family affection, how is it that my blood is thicker than me? What kind of involvement and concern?

Mother, can you tell me?

The body, little by little, loses its strength and sinks downward; And the figure on the shore also became blurred little by little and gradually dissipated......

The gloomy figure stood coldly by the lake, her face gloomy, and she struggled in the water until she was exhausted. It was as silent as watching a prisoner who had been executed by Ling Chi.

Yes, the prisoners who were executed in the middle of the night.

A dog that he had already kicked out of the gate of the calamity's house! A scourge that should have been drowned a long time ago!

Her body exhausted the last of her strength, and she finally gave up the struggle, allowing her body to be swallowed by the lake. Even if he was unwilling, his indifference still refused to save her ashore after all.

Haha, Jiang Zhenghe, I really can't imagine that in the case of father and daughter, you can be so indifferent to me and cruel to me!

Jiang Zhenghe, you are really worthy of being someone else's father!

Mother...... Mother......

If she dies, my mother must be very sad and sad. Niang is the best person in this world to her, and she is the same to Niang.

And now, mother, you are Pu'er's last concern in this world......

In the confusion, there was a sudden sound of "plopping" into the water above the lake, and before she could think about it, a powerful arm had already been embedded in her waist.

At the same time, her body also broke through the encirclement of the lake in an instant, and touched the cold air.

"Pu'er!" An anxious call came from my ears.

She struggled to open her eyes, and a man was looking at her with an anxious expression.

The man's eyebrows were clear and handsome, probably due to excessive nervousness, and the furrowed eyebrows were slightly undulating with wheezing.

coughed violently a few times, with a hint of hoarseness and exhaustion in his voice, "Big brother." ”

The body was tightly pulled into a warm embrace, and the handsome man in front of her wiped the droplets of water from her face with a heartache, and his voice was flustered and anxious, "Don't be afraid, there is a big brother, Pu'er is not afraid." ”

Such a gentle tone, such a trembling whisper, as soft as a spring breeze in March, easily made her eyes wet.

Don't be afraid, with the eldest brother here, Pu'er is not afraid......

It's just another trace of sourness rising in my heart, but it is no longer self-evident......

In fact, it should have been expected to be his ...... Isn't it, in the Calamity Mansion, in addition to her mother, the only one who still has a trace of warmth for her is the eldest brother.

Only here is the eldest brother, the eldest brother who married into the Jiang family with Erniang and has no blood relationship with her, that she can experience a trace of family warmth, and she can feel a trace of warmth between relatives in this desperate predicament.

How pale, and ridiculous!

When they were carried ashore by Xiao Zishan, Jiang Zhenghe had already stood on the shore and looked at them coldly for a long time.
