Chapter 15: Are You Naughty?
"His father, our youngest son is gone?" It was Yuan Youliang's wife Lin Man who said this, and she only felt that her head was buzzing. Just now she was worried that her little son would wake up and cry, so she went into the house to see, it was okay not to look at it, but she was startled when she saw it, and her white and pure boy became a black girl.
This was not a loud statement, but it silenced the guests who were originally making a fuss and wanted to get drunk, and they all looked at each other.
When Yuan Youliang heard the words of his daughter-in-law, his body seemed to be crushed by a mountain, and a festive person who was originally full of energy turned into a lifeless walking corpse, he was a little incredulous, "What... What? ”
Lin Man had already burst into tears, and his delicate face was only pale at the moment, "Our little son is gone!" ”
Yuan Youliang staggered step by step and walked towards the house, and several neighbors with vision stepped forward to support him, so as not to fall to the ground in this state.
Fang Jian blended in the quiet crowd, staring at the door that Yuan Youliang walked in without daring for a moment, the door where he walked in and out with his child, if the sound of the heartbeat could be heard, then the guests should be looking for the sound of the heart pounding quickly against the body and wanting to come out.
A few people in the house really couldn't recognize who the black child who was sleeping in the nest was, and they couldn't find the youngest son of the old Yuan family who had appeared in front of them not long ago, so they had no choice but to look at me, I look at you, and wait to see what kind of action Yuan Youliang would have.
Yuan Youliang escaped from his dark and chaotic thoughts when he heard the call of his neighbors.
"Whose is this kid?"
"I haven't seen it."
"Is there a way to find it?"
"Why don't you take it out and ask."
Yuan Youliang could only nod, he had no other way than this method. But one thing he was sure of was that if he found the child's parents, he would find his youngest son.
When Fang Jian felt that his forehead and palms were wet with sweat, it was the child wrapped in the quilt who was carried in broad daylight, although the child was lifted, she still slept with her eyes closed, I don't know if she was so young that she was smart enough to avoid the gaze of the worldly people hiding dirt and dirt, or if she really loved to sleep to the extreme.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Yuan, am willing to pay a hundred yuan, just to find the parents of this child." Yuan Youliang pointed to the baby who was lifted up on the side as he spoke, if it weren't for the two people next to him supporting him, maybe everyone would think that he was a cold-blooded person, and he would let people hold a baby half a little older so simply and rudely.
Fang Jian's hand clenched the edge of the stool under his buttocks, and he could hear the sweat of nervousness and panic trying to squeeze into the gap of the stool through the strength of his hands, looking for a place where he could stay, and his heart was one by one excluding who had seen his newborn child.
Fang Jian's eyes stiffly swept over the guests present, and found that except for Qi Qin, the others were basically people who didn't have much contact with their family. His heart was a little more settled, and he only hoped that Qi Qin at this time would be blind, deaf, and dumb.
"Why does that kid look like Fang Jian's daughter so much." Before Fang Jian's inner prayer came to an end, Qi Qin's voice sounded in the quiet courtyard.
Fang Jian clearly felt the feeling of being the focus of everyone's attention, and it was because of such a thing. He felt the blood on his body flowing backwards, the coldness was crawling inch by inch all over his body, and the sweat was crawling out of his body from the bottom of his skin as if he were taking refuge.
Fang Jian's mind was blank, he couldn't feel his mouth, it seemed to say something, "No, it's not." ”
"Huh? How do I look so similar? Am I mistaken? Qi Qin looked down at the second child in her arms and said to herself, but her voice echoed in the ears of everyone in this courtyard.
"This is indeed a girl!" Yuan Youliang suppressed the tremor of his body, but he couldn't fool the tremor of his voice.
At this moment, a person in the crowd shouted loudly, "Then go to Fang Jian's house and take a look at his daughter to know if it's okay." ”
The others didn't know if they really wanted to help Yuan Youliang find his son, or if they just thought that the days were too peaceful, and they wanted to join in the fun, so they responded and said, "Yes, just go and see." ”
Before Fang Jian could argue anything, everyone set him up, and walked towards his house in a black manner, Yuan Youliang still followed the team with the support of others.
Yu Cai was lying on the kang, the child beside her was crying, she didn't want to take care of it, it was better to look at the wood on the beams than the child's crying, they used their bodies to support the life of the house, isn't it more worthy of attention than the child's cry?
"Knock knock...", a powerful knock on the door, almost crippled the somewhat old door of Yu Cai's house.
Yu Cai was still lying down, she thought that it was Fang Jian's door that was closed just now, he was going out, and the door was closed from the inside, so the door was not closed at all. If it is knocked and not opened like now, it is scratched, and it must also be drawn by Fang Jian, after all, he said that no matter what he sends, don't go out. After all, he said that if you want to live and die, you have to take care of the child next to him who is crying to death.
Yu Cai heard the last gasp of the old wooden door, and followed the old wooden door into the embrace of the loess dust: Finally, after waiting for so long, is it finally coming?
Yu Cai heard the sound of the door of the main house being pushed open, at this moment she had already sat up, like a fool who didn't know anything, sitting on the edge of the kang and shaking her legs, in the crowd, she saw the little black girl born from her, she smiled at the little black girl in the sea of people, the silence of the little black girl is the best answer to her: Look, the most well-behaved, the least crying is my child.
Fang Jian was placed in front of the crowd, and he saw Yuan Youliang being supported and walked to the crowd, and the person next to Yuan Youliang was holding his daughter in his arms, which he had always refused to admit. He bowed his head in frustration, he didn't want to say anything to himself in front of the facts, because everything he said would be pale and weak.
The child next to Yu Cai was still crying, and Lin Man, who rushed out of the crowd, picked up the crying child and coaxed him with a look of relief. The child seemed to have found a place to stay and cry, and after handing the cry to the person holding him, he quieted down, and his eyes narrowed into a slit by tears still chose to close.
"Good girl, sleep, sleep." Lin Man's tears dripped on the back of the hand holding the child, on the quilt wrapped in the child, on her heart that was dried by worry, but fortunately, the child was still there.
Several women came up and surrounded Lin Man and carried her and the child away from the unusual atmosphere. The person holding the child standing next to Yuan Youliang gently placed the child beside Yu Cai, Yu Cai looked down at the little guy next to him, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Are you naughty?" And then he started giggling all the time.
Everyone didn't pay attention to Yu Cai, everyone could see that as a mother, Yu Cai would not throw her children to other people's homes, but took other people's children as their own, all of this must have been forced by someone. And the only person who can force Yu Cai is Fang Jian, who is Yu Cai's husband, and everyone focuses on Fang Jian.
Yuan Youliang sat down on the stool handed over by the people around him, everyone was afraid that he would faint, Yuan Youliang was not afraid of Fang Jian in front of him being angry with him, but he was afraid that his kindness would be unbearable because he was fed to the dog, and he would become an unbearable heart to take revenge on himself.
"Let's talk about it." Yuan Youliang raised his eyes to look at Fang Jian in front of him, and he found that Fang Jian was like an extremely pitiful dog at the moment.
Fang Jian still lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Someone pushed Yu Cai, "Your man doesn't want to say it, but you can talk about it." ”
Yu Cai's laughter stopped, and she raised her eyes to stare at the person who pushed her like a ghost, and her mouth didn't mean to speak.
The man was stared at by Yu Cai's eyes, and he could only shrink into the crowd behind Yuan Youliang.
"Why are you doing this?" When Yuan Youliang said this, he clutched his kneecaps tightly and used the hardness of his bones to support his strength.
Fang Jian and Yu Cai remained in their original state, still without any thoughts or precursors to say a word.
Everyone was naturally anxious, and one voice followed one voice after another, asking one question after another, but the content was the same as a wordless book with no difference.
Fang Jian's parents and Yu Cai's parents were brought over by the so-called 'well-wishers', and the main house of Fang Jian's family was originally a small place, but now it is full of people.
Fang Jian's father and Yu Cai's father, as the heads of the family, can also be regarded as people with faces in this village, with such a son, daughter-in-law and daughter and son-in-law, the two of them naturally have no way to say a word to defend themselves, so they can only stand in front of everyone like a mute and accept everyone's attention and baptism.
Yu Cai's mother glared at Yu Cai fiercely with her eyes: Sure enough, it was this nemesis who caused the trouble, causing me to be embarrassed here. Yu Cai's mother's body slowly moved behind her wife little by little.
Fang Jian's mother stepped forward and slapped Yu Cai's body twice, "It's really embarrassing to be thrown into the ancestral grave, I don't want the ancestors to live in peace." As she spoke, the tears in her eyes entered the play like a play.
Yuan Youliang looked at everything in front of him and felt that this farce might not blame the two culprits who stole the children in front of him, but should ask the parents of the two culprits how they poisoned them with their thoughts.
Yuan Youliang wanted to scold Fang Jian in a thousand words, but in the end he gave up, he thanked himself for walking out of the crockpot village and seeing the world, today's farce of false alarm should have broadened his horizons again. He stood up, walked up to Fang Jian, raised his fist, and put it down again, "For your poor girl's sake." ”
As Yuan Youliang left, the people who planned to watch the excitement broke up unhappily, they originally thought they could watch a play, but who knew that the play would end before it was broadcast.
