Chapter 411: The Sound of Cicadas, the Singing of Frogs, and the Verdant Trees (7)

War epidemic demons, poverty demons, anti-piracy, support genuine reading.

In the two adobe houses inside and outside, cleaned up neatly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the bedroom inside, only to see the black beans were hiding in the most corner of the desk, hiding in it motionless, two small eyes dripping and turning, thinking that they were hiding very secretly, and were not noticed by the owner.

Lulu laughs at Black Bean's antics and laughs, and after laughing, her eyes are suddenly drawn to the objects on the desk.

I saw a thick stack of old newspapers in the center of the desk, and on the top newspaper was a large script written with a brush, "The heart is as calm as water".

Seeing that Lulu stopped laughing, her eyes were attracted by her own calligraphy, and her mother-in-law smiled shyly, "This is what I wrote when I was idle." ”

Lulu said to her mother-in-law in an envious and admiring tone: "Mom, I thought you only wrote a beautiful pen handwriting, but I didn't expect that your calligraphy is so good, I have only seen this kind of official writing on the book, and it is rare." Mom, how long have you been practicing this calligraphy? ”

Asked by her daughter-in-law to arouse memories of the past, the mother-in-law squinted at the calligraphy in the newspaper and whispered: "It seems that I can remember, and under the pressure of my old father, I grabbed a brush and practiced calligraphy." It seems to be a little more than three years old, my father held a bamboo pole and let me practice calligraphy with my brother and sister, at that time my little hands could not even grasp the brush steadily, often grinning and crying, and complained in my heart that my father was too ruthless and forced me to practice calligraphy. It's been almost half a lifetime, and my old father has been away from us for almost ten years. ”

The mother whispered about the past when she was a child, and the voice and smile of the old father who had passed away for many years came to mind, and a thin old man looked at her with a smile, still so loving and kind.

This is the first time Lulu has seen such a sad mother-in-law, looking at the bean-sized tears rolling down the corners of her mother-in-law's eyes, as a doctor, she stepped forward to hug her mother-in-law, touched her mother-in-law's back with her hand, didn't say a word, didn't say anything, didn't need too much voice, just quietly accompanied, empathetic and accompanied.

Under Lulu's touch, the mother-in-law looked up at her daughter-in-law with tears in her eyes with a smile, and said ashamedly: "Look at me, why do you cry when you speak, and make you cry, the older you get, the more useless it becomes." ”

I don't know when the black bean drilled out from under the desk, feeling the owner's low mood, its two small short back legs kicked the ground hard, one soared into the air, and the two small front legs slapped the mother's body, this action did more than a dozen in a row.

Lulu and her mother-in-law were amused by Black Bean's actions, and her mother-in-law wiped the tears from her face with her thumb and explained with a smile: "This is Black Bean using its body language to persuade me, it tells me to have it with me, don't be sad, this is a hairy child who can't speak." ”

Listening to her mother-in-law's soft voice, Lulu's face was incredible, in order to verify that Heidou could understand human speech and was a spiritual hairy child, her mother-in-law pulled Lulu out of the house.

The mother-in-law stood in the courtyard and said to the little black bean who was following her: "Black bean, weren't you thirsty just now, go to the small pot and drink water." ”

The little black bean looked up at her mother-in-law with her little head, and then looked at the hand-washing pot under the begonia tree in front of the door, and looked back and forth several times, hesitating, but there was no movement.

The mother-in-law said softly in a coaxing tone: "Okay, you drink the water from the kettle today, and my mother doesn't blame you." ”

As soon as the mother-in-law's words fell, the black bean ran rhythmically towards the small pot with her little short legs.

Lulu was wondering in her heart, there was a lid on the wash pot, and the long spout was so thin, how could the little black bean drink water?

I remember that there is a story in the primary school Chinese textbook "The Crow Drinks Water", the crow throws pebbles into the mouth of the bottle to make the water surface rise to drink, is this little black bean also like the smart crow to throw pebbles into the mouth of the pot?

While she was in doubt, Lulu saw Little Black Bean put her mouth on the lid of the kettle, bit the small handle on the lid with her teeth, and then threw the lid to the ground, and her little head came to the open of the kettle and began to drink water.

Xiaozui took a few sips, and then jumped to the mother-in-law, a jump, its two front paws and the mother-in-law's right hand palm that had already been stretched out lightly clapped the palm, and then excitedly stood at the mother-in-law's feet and happily shook its almost invisible little tail.

Looking at this scene unbelievably, looking at Lulu staring at the arrogant little black bean with a pair of beautiful eyes, covering her mouth with her right hand, she was very surprised, and her mother-in-law lowered her head to the black bean and said, "Black bean, why did you forget to cover the pot?" ”

Like a soldier who obeys orders and listens to commands, Little Black Bean ran to the lid of the kettle again, and put it on the kettle with the lid in his mouth, but it was misplaced each time.

It took a few times in a row to put it right, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at the smart little black bean and laughed, and Lulu laughed so much that tears came out.

The kitchen door was open, and the father, who was talking to Miao Miao openly, looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were smiling in the yard, and his eyes were red, "Son, seeing that Lulu doesn't dislike our family's conditions at all these days, has your hanging heart returned to its original place?" ”

"Dad, how do you know how I feel?" Miao Miao, whose cheeks were crimson from drinking, widened her eyes and asked her father in surprise.

A few days ago, he had been worried that Lulu, who came from a well-to-do family, would not be used to living in the humble farmhouse of his orchard

Unexpectedly, Lulu did not dislike the simple environment at all, and lived a very nourishing life, and last night she also said to her mother-in-law on the phone that she would continue to live in the orchard and not return to Ningxi City.

The father who came over looked up and took a sip of beer, stared at his puzzled son and said, "I'm your father, I don't know your little thoughts." Your anxious mood is exactly the same as your father's mood, when my father had nothing, he was a poor boy from the countryside who had never seen much of the world, and it took a lot of effort to catch up with your mother, although your grandfather's family is not a rich and noble family, but it is also a scholarly family, your father and I are mud legs who just came out of the countryside, can you not worry about your mother disliking my family? ”

This is the first time that Dad has talked to Miao Miao about his young past, and Miao Miao asked with great interest: "Did my mother dislike the conditions of Grandpa's family at the beginning?" ”

"Nonsense, if you dislike it, can there still be you?" Dad said happily, with a look of pride and happiness.

Seeing that Miao Miao nodded in understanding, her father suddenly asked a very abrupt word, "Son, do you complain about Dad?" Dad is self-righteous and credulous, and he made a rich home like this, and you are all married, and he didn't even buy you a wedding house? ”

In the end, Dad's words were a little choked, Miao Miao knew that his father was very self-blaming, he opened his heart and told Dad, "Dad, I have been resenting you in my heart for the past few years, and even hating you a little, but not for the marriage room, but for my mother, what a cheerful, optimistic and confident person my mother was?" It was born like this, but fortunately it was ...... that winter."
