In the snow that did not pass the bare feet, a deep footprint was immediately left.

Mai Miao hunched forward, tightened her bloated coat, braved the cold wind, and looked ahead in the dim light of the street lamp in the distance.

Where did her father and her second uncle go?

At night, the sound of "tuk tuk" knocked on the courtyard of Zhang Guofu's house.

After a while, Zhang Mingzuo's echo sounded, "Who is it?" ”

Mai Miao continued to work harder, knocking rhythmically on the door. It's not that she doesn't want to answer, but as soon as her voice turns on, the movement is loud, and some things can't be hidden from her sisters-in-law.

Zhang Mingzuo secretly scolded his mother, but he still came to the door uneasily, "Who?" If I don't say anything, I won't open the door. ”

"Second brother, it's me, be quiet."

Zhang Mingzuo was startled, and immediately opened the door quickly, and didn't bother to ask her why she didn't bring the key for a while, so he hurriedly pulled her arm and looked around, "Did the Dong family kid bully you?" This bastard is looking for death! ”

"It's not! You be quiet. ”

Zhang Mingzuo hurriedly dragged her to pull in, "Go up to the house and warm up." ”

Mai Miao grabbed him, "I can't go in, you have to find a way to let the third brother come out together and hide it from your sister-in-law." The sky is falling in our house, woo......"

Zhang Mingzuo was so frightened when he heard this, and closed the courtyard door with his backhand, "Little sister, don't cry, my brother is here, the sky can't fall, don't cry, what is wrong with your brother?" ”

"Our dad is going to divorce my mom, woo...... I can't find our father, second brother, I've been looking for a long time, I've searched everywhere, but I can't find him and my second uncle? ”

Zhang Mingzuo was even more confused by these headless words, "Who said they wanted a divorce?" Didn't I tell you, let Mom stay with Grandma for a few days, and when Dad is gone, I'll pick her up? Tonight, Dad also asked people to say that he didn't come back if he had something, and you don't listen to other people's nonsense. ”

"No, you don't know, my uncle was looking for my father to go to his house today, but he changed his mind and pulled his second uncle over...... Later, my mother quarreled with my second uncle...... I don't know what happened to my dad at the door......"

Zhang Mingzuo frowned and listened, without saying a word, he pushed open the courtyard door with one hand, and pushed her inside with the other, "Be quiet, let's go to the study." ”

"Why don't you go to Dad first?"

"No, it's okay for him to have his second uncle with him."

Zhang Mingzuo pushed her into his father's study, and he found another excuse to call Zhang Mingyou. Today, his eldest brother is still working in the provincial capital, and the three brothers and sisters can only discuss it first.

As soon as Zhang Mingyou entered the study, he saw Mai Miao with red eyes, and immediately scolded: "I grass the eighteenth generation of his Dong family's ancestors, and he beat you?" ”

This pair is worthy of twins!

Zhang Mingzuo pushed him, "Be quiet, it's not about my brother-in-law, it's my mother who is making trouble again." ”

"That can't let my little sister go out alone so late." Zhang Mingyou finished muttering and frowned, "Mom went to complain to you again?" ”

Zhang Mingzuo sighed and waved his hand to interrupt, "Little sister, my uncle is a bit exaggerated. This time he must be biased towards our mother, don't believe everything. ”

Mai Miao nodded, "I know he is human. So when my aunt went to look for me, I asked my mother again at the time, and then I asked my mother again, and it was almost all right. ”

"Then tell us about it again, and let your third brother also listen to it?"

After drinking hot water this time, in the warm room, Mai Miao regained some composure, and told what had happened in more detail than before.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingyou scratched his head and looked at the silent brother and sister, "Do you also think that you are speechless?" Uncle is really sick! What does he do? We all said that we would pick up my mother when Dad was angry, what did he mean? ”

"You also changed your mind and want to talk to our second uncle? He's in the water in his brain, I'm afraid that things won't make a big fuss, what's wrong? Okay, now he's happy, right? ”

Zhang Mingzuo patted him, "Don't blame others, I think this matter is inseparable from ten because his mother wants him to come forward, and he may have told him that the second uncle looks down on her." ”

Mai Miao looked sad, "Second brother, third brother, I didn't expect the second uncle to know." I know him too well, he really can't bear it, Dad wants a divorce, he will definitely support it. ”

Zhang Mingyou looked at Zhang Mingzuo, the two brothers looked at each other, the meaning in their eyes was unclear, and they both understood that there was one more thing, I wonder if their second uncle found out?

Zhang Mingzuo thought about it and shook his head slightly at his younger brother. Impossible, with his second uncle's temper, if he knew, he would have run to the Huang family to turn the table and drink together?

"I did the math on the road, and it turned out that if my father made up his mind to divorce, maybe the elders would not even have anyone to support my mother."

"Grandpa will not allow his daughter-in-law to stir up the feelings of his sons; If Grandma learns that Mom doesn't care about her son's life or death, and we are all older, she will not object; The second uncle and the little uncle don't need to say anything, the second aunt can't be the master, and the little aunt won't interfere. ”

"My uncle actually asked me to persuade my father more, let him think about my future, what will my in-laws think, what will my colleagues think, how do you say I can say it? If Dad hadn't been for the four of us brothers and sisters all these years, he would have been gone. But what about Mom, if I don't persuade you, what will Mom do? ”

"Since I was nine years old, what I have feared most every day is that my mother will be confused again. Every time, she either hides it from her grandmother, or she is worried that her father will be so angry that he can't bear to do it one day.

When others go to play, I don't dare to stay outside for a day, for fear that if I am not there, if they quarrel and divorce, we will have no home. ”

Mai Miao wiped the tears from her face and took a deep breath.

"On my 10th birthday, my dad said he could grant me a request. Actually, I knew he meant to buy something with me, but I was foolish.

I told him that I wanted the family to live happily ever after, and that my parents would never quarrel or separate...... Dad smiled and agreed, but I knew he had been in this room all night......"

Speaking of which, Mai Miao couldn't stop crying.

Zhang Mingzuo turned his back to wipe away his tears, stepped forward to hug her, and patted her, "Don't worry, the second brother will let your wish come true all the time, and I will kneel to get our father to agree." ”

"No, second brother, before I entered this room, I always wanted to find my father and second uncle, and I must kneel until they agreed to my mother's return, but now I don't think so."

"Little sister?"

"Third brother, let's let Dad! Let him choose for himself this time. He lived for us for the first half of his life, and then he should live for himself. ”

After Mai Miao finished speaking, she pushed Zhang Mingzuo away and looked at the room, "Have you noticed a little, this is Dad's room." Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, he lived here. ”

Mai Miao wiped away her tears with both hands, put on her coat, and left without saying a word, leaving the two brothers to sit there in a daze......
