Chapter 412: The Sound of Cicadas, the Singing of Frogs, and the Verdant Trees (8)

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

Miao Miao was so choked that he couldn't speak, the scene of his mother's suicide still remained in his mind, so clear, as if it happened yesterday, as soon as he thought of that scene, his heart throbbed.

Dad stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and sighed: "Fortunately, I found it in time that day, otherwise, I really lost your mother, fortunately." ”

Dad shook his head and stared affectionately at his wife, who was laughing with Lulu in the courtyard, tears falling with the shaking of his head.

This is the third time that 23-year-old Miao Miao has seen her father cry, the first time was on that cold winter night when she kept vigil for her grandfather at the funeral home in Ningxi City ten years ago.

The second time was after my mother cut her wrists and committed suicide, looking at my mother lying in front of the hospital bed with a dead heart, my father sat at the head of the bed and hugged my mother tightly into his arms, and the tears gushing out wet my mother's collar.

This is the third time, I can't bear to see my father who is as strong as steel crying, Miao Miao reached out and grabbed her father's hand, squeezed it hard, and gave her father courage.

"Fortunately, your mother is still there, and her condition has improved, otherwise, there would be no point for my father to live in this world, and there would be no hope." Dad smiled with tears in his eyes, looking at the chubby figure of his wife in the yard and laughing happily, with tears on his face.

Miao Miao also stared affectionately at Lulu who gently put her elbow on her mother's shoulder with tears in her eyes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outside were like a pair of mother and daughter, and his heart was full.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing in the yard watched the little black bean chase and frolic with the black panther that was more than ten times larger than it, and the clever and clever Teddy teased the clumsy Kasro black panther running out of breath behind him.

The mother-in-law suddenly remembered something, and said to Lulu, who was laughing so much that tears came out: "Lulu, do you remember the little yellow dog who came to our house to ask for dog food in the past two days?" ”

Under the reminder of her mother-in-law, Lulu remembered that after lunch in the past two days, there was a yellow dirty stray dog standing timidly outside the gate and looking into the yard, and every time she took the naan cake given to her by her in-laws in her mouth, she was driven away by the little black beans.

"Remember, Miao Miao said that it was a golden retriever skewer that had been abandoned by the owner for a long time." Lulu replied with her mother-in-law's charitable face.

The mother-in-law smiled at the little yellow dog at the gate of the compound and looked timidly into the courtyard, and whispered: "Look, it's here again, I think it's a little hairy child with a story." With that, the mother-in-law went to the square table in the small open kitchen and took a large piece of naan.

Holding the naan cake in her hand, the mother-in-law sternly ordered the black beans and black panther who stopped frolicking and were staring at the stray dogs: "Black beans, black panthers, don't bully the weak."

It's really strange, these two hairy children listen to their mother-in-law very much, the black panther gasped and sat on the sand pile in the courtyard looking at the uninvited guests at the gate of the courtyard, and the black beans clinged to the mother-in-law's feet and did not leave an inch.

The mother-in-law threw the naan to the little yellow dog, who was not in a hurry to eat the naan in his mouth, and ran towards the east with a smoke.

Seeing her mother-in-law following the little yellow dog to the east, Lulu was full of curiosity and followed, and the two followed the little yellow dog to a small bridge about 200 meters away from the courtyard gate.

The yellow dog, who came to the door to ask for food, stood next to a litter of puppies and guarded his children, looking at the visitor with wary eyes.

I saw my mother-in-law whisper softly: "This is your child, look at their little eyes have not opened, it is not yet a full moon, you come home with me, you are not nutritious enough, the puppy has no milk to eat, and it will starve to death."

Seeing that her mother-in-law had no malicious intentions, the little yellow dog seemed to understand her mother-in-law's words, and shook her head and tail at her mother-in-law, looking well-behaved and flattering.

The mother-in-law looked around and saw a small cardboard box on the side of the road, and she motioned with her eyes for Lulu to take the cardboard box.

Lulu brought the cardboard box, only to see her mother-in-law holding the top of the yellow dog's head with her hand, and holding the little milk dog with one hand and carefully placing it in the cardboard box.

There were three little milk dogs, and the mother-in-law held the cardboard box in both hands as if holding a baby, and said to the dog's mother: "You will be called Ah Huang in the future, you will have a home in the future, and you don't have to wander around anymore." ”

The mother-in-law carefully carried a litter of puppies to the small kennel where the former loyal dog Ah Jin lived, which was a triangular kennel made of wooden planks.

There was still a worn-out padded jacket on the floor of the kennel, and the mother-in-law put the puppy on the warm padded jacket, and the mother dog seemed to know that this triangular nest would be its home in the future, so she slipped into the kennel and guarded the three milk dogs under her belly.

At her mother-in-law's suggestion, Lulu stood at a distance by the kennel, looked at her mother-in-law, poured some milk and clean water for the new member, and threw a naan cake in the dog bowl with milk.

The mother-in-law washed her hands with soap, and told Lulu, who poured water for her with a kettle: "Lulu, I don't know if the original owner of this stray dog has vaccinated it, you stay away from it, let Miao Miao go to the township veterinary station tomorrow to buy some rabies vaccine shots or something, give it an injection, and then wash it in a few days." ”

Looking at her mother-in-law who was washing her hands with mixed feelings, Lulu asked curiously, "Mom, how do you know that this is a stray dog with a story?" ”

"Although our black panther is mild, but it looks fierce, the average dog does not dare to approach our yard, this stray dog riskes being bitten by the panther and violated, comes to our house to ask for dog food, indicating that it is hungry, it knows that if it doesn't eat anymore, the body has no milk, the puppy will starve to death, for its dogs, it takes the risk to ask for food, this is the power of maternal love, don't look at these small animals, they are spiritual, but they can't speak." The mother-in-law said slowly.

Standing in the courtyard, Lulu looked at the back of her mother-in-law who walked into the adobe house to get a hand towel, and then looked at her red-faced father-in-law who was sitting at the kitchen table and communicating with Miao Miao.

A light smile bloomed on his weather-beaten face, and his eyes under his wrinkled forehead shone with a peaceful, calm, peaceful, and warm light.

Looking at her in-laws, Lulu has mixed feelings in her heart, her father-in-law with a rough personality and her mother-in-law with delicate feelings have a kind and simple heart.

During this period of living in the orchard, I have never seen them blushing once, and the father-in-law who loves his mother-in-law is obedient to his wife, and the mother-in-law, who is gradually getting better, also loves and adds to his wife.

Even in the face of the difficulties and troughs of life, my father-in-law faces life with a smile and optimism, and lives an ordinary life with his sick wife and guards the indifferent years.

From the bits and pieces of life, it can be seen that the in-laws are naturally kind, and they are both kind.

Both windows in the kitchen are covered by fine barbed wire to prevent small animals from entering the kitchen and spoiling food.
