"Come in." Yu Cai stood at the gate of the school, wanting to push Fang Mumu into the gate of the junior high school.

"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to go in and have a look?" Fang Mumu looked at his mother in front of him with red eyes.

"Mom's enough to look here." Yu Cai patted Fang Mumu on the shoulder and pushed Fang Mumu towards the school gate again.

"But..."Fang Mumu lowered her head, tears welled up in her eyes, and her blurred vision was her mother's still limping right leg.

"No, let's go inside." Yu Cai pushed Fang Mumu and took a few steps forward.

"Mom, you don't have to push, I'm obedient, I'll go in by myself." Fang Mumu's eyes looked at Yu Cai's right leg distressedly, the past memories in her mind slowly opened, she couldn't stop the tears from bursting, and could only walk into the school with the six big characters 'Feiwa Junior High School' written on the door without looking back.

That day, after Fang Jian said that there was no money for Fang Mumu to go to junior high school, Fang Mumu's original happiness because of her good exam became extremely heavy, and she couldn't remember how her mother helped her up from the yard, and then dragged her back to the kitchen.

It was Yu Cai who sprayed ice water on Fang Mumu's face one after another, which woke up Fang Mumu's scattered consciousness.

After Fang Mumu regained his consciousness, the first thing he said when he saw Yu Cai was, "Mom, he said that he didn't have the money to send me to junior high school, so what's the use of saying that I worked hard to get such a high score?" Fang Mumu's voice was very soft, and the expression on his face was more like a freeze, and there was no change because of his words. The tears that slipped across her face seemed to be forced into her eyes by an unfamiliar person under the instigation of her eyelashes, and the tears flowed out of the unfamiliar person's eyes.

Yu Cai put down the scoop in his hand, half-knelt in front of Fang Mumu, held Fang Mumu in his arms, and patted her on the back.

In the time before she found Fang Mumu, Yu Cai had been busy cooking, and she hadn't heard what was going on outside. When her meal was ready, she wanted to go out to see if Fang Jian had woken up, thinking that if Fang Jian woke up, she would quickly bring the prepared meal over, lest Fang Jian find fault with her for not cooking in time and find her a thorn. It was only when her feet stepped out of the kitchen door that she found Fang Mumu sitting on the ground, not moving, no matter how she shouted or pushed, Fang Mumu didn't give her any response. Afraid that Fang Jian would come out to find trouble, Yu Cai had to bring Fang Mumu into the kitchen.

After hearing Fang Mumu's expressionless words, Yu Cai didn't need to ask who he was in Fang Mumu's mouth, she also knew that the decision to decide whether Fang Mumu could go to school was only in the hands of Fang Jian.

"It's okay, it'll pass." Except for such a painless sentence, Yu Cai couldn't think of anything that could soothe Fang Mumu's inner disappointment.

"What?! Are you trying to starve me? ”

Yu Cai and Fang Mumu were both startled by the sudden sound, and both of them turned their faces to the door, only then did they find that Fang Jian was standing at the door, and the two of them didn't notice when Fang Jian came.

Fang Mumu could see the anger on Fang Jian's face, that anger was like a fire, burning in his messy hair, "Dad~" She couldn't help but shout.

"Knowing that I am your son, why are you still crying and mourning?" Fang Jian stepped over the threshold step by step and walked in, "What? Do you have an opinion on my decision just now?! As he spoke, Fang Jian's eyes that were originally viciously staring at Fang Mumu began to look around.

When Fang Jian finally picked up the small bench in front of him, Fang Mumu came to know what her father wanted to do, she didn't dare to push away Yu Cai without thinking, and then rushed out of the kitchen as fast as she could, she wanted to thank Fang Jian for the small bench in her hand, if it wasn't for the small bench, she thought that she had already been caught by Fang Jian when she ran out.

"I'm going to kill someone! It's going to kill! Fang Mumu shouted as she ran, she ran towards the gate, looking at the gate that was getting closer and closer, she said that as long as she ran out, she would be safe, and her father would definitely choose not to beat her for the sake of face.

The big wooden door was in front of her, but Fang Mumu couldn't run out after all, she felt that she was being held by someone, she desperately wanted to break free, when she heard the hidden gasp, she realized that it was her mother who hugged her. Her mother's trembling body let her know that it was her mother who prevented her father from hitting her.

"I thought I had grown up, so I had a lot of courage, didn't I?" Fang Jian's voice was very loud, in Fang Mumu's opinion, even if she ran out and was caught, her father would still beat her up in front of everyone.

"See if you still run?!" After that, Fang Jian repeated this sentence, and every time he repeated it, Fang Mumu could feel the moment he hit his mother through the flesh behind him.

"Don't run! Don't run anymore! Never run again! This was not said by Fang Mumu, but by Yu Cai, because Yu Cai was desperately covering Fang Mumu's mouth, she was afraid that Fang Mumu would be excited for a while and say something that would anger Fang Jian, and even if she added another one, it would be difficult to protect Fang Mumu.

Fang Mumu shook her head desperately, she remembered that because she wanted to go to school, she was picked up by Fang Jian and beaten that memory was revived again, and the pain was all over her body. It was only a bare hand, this time it was blocked by his mother but the small wooden stool that Fang Jian was holding just now, and the pain must have been many times heavier than in his memory.

When the scorching sun hid into the clouds, Fang Mumu could feel his mother's breath lying on his back getting weaker and weaker, but his mother's hand holding her did not lose a little strength.

"Next time I see you crying and sad again, I'll beat you to death." As he spoke, Fang Jian kicked Yu Cai, "And you, since you are so protective of the calf, go with you." ”

Fang Mumu heard the sound of the small bench being thrown to the ground, heard the sound of Fang Jian gasping and leaving, and heard Fang Jian standing in the distance and shouting, "Hurry up and bring the rice." ”

Yu Cai slipped off Fang Mumu's body and lay beside Fang Mumu, the bright red on her back stained the dirt red, and she felt that she had no strength to get up again.

"Mom~Mom~" Fang Mumu hugged Yu Cai and couldn't help but call softly, except for tears, she didn't have anything to do. Yin Yin just now still had the strength to call for help outside, but at this moment all her courage was silent in powerless tears.

"Help me up." If he remembered Fang Jian's last words, Yu Cai thought that he was not willing to open his eyes at all.

"But..."Fang Mumu choked up and couldn't say the next words, the injuries on his mother's body should have been borne by her.

"Obedient." As soon as Yu Cai finished speaking, she coughed, and the cough shook her internal organs to pieces, but she told herself that she couldn't fall, and if she fell, what would her Mu Mu do. "Quick, help me up."

Fang Mumu could hear his mother's voice biting her back molars and enduring the pain, "Okay." She carefully held her mother's arm, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, she would hurt her scarred mother.

With Fang Mumu's support, Yu Cai finally walked slowly to the kitchen step by step, she only dared to lean lightly against the wall, "Mumu, you put the rice on the plate." ”

Fang Mumu glanced at his mother, and after seeing that she was stable, he went to prepare the meal for his father. A tear accidentally dripped into the bowl, and she frantically rubbed her sleeve against the tears that had regained her face, afraid that her father would taste it and attack again.

When Fang Mumu was taking a step to bring the prepared meal to the main house, Yu Cai's trembling voice stopped her, "Wait~"

"It's okay, I'll go." Fang Mumu raised his arm and wiped away the tears that had just flowed out with his sleeve, and said to Yu Cai with a smile.

Yu Cai shook his head, "Obedient, I'll come." ”

"But..."Seeing Yu Cai shaking his head uncontrollably, Fang Mumu's words didn't come out after all.

"Help me~" Yu Cai reached out to pick up the plate in Fang Mumu's hand.

"I'll give it to you when I get to the door." Fang Mumu raised his arm and let Yu Cai support him. The two of them slowly walked towards the main house.

After arriving at the door of the main house, Yu Cai took the plate in Fang Mumu's hand, Fang Mumu looked at her trembling hand worriedly, she wanted to take it.

"Let me come~" Yu Cai's voice was very light and light, so light that she felt that she had no strength to speak, but her hand holding the plate increased her strength, and the green tendons on the back of her hand bulged out, as if they were about to burst through the skin.

Fang Mumu stood at the door and watched Yu Cai go in worriedly, her two ears were always vigilant, afraid of what would happen inside, except for the sound of dishes and chopsticks, she didn't hear any other sound.

After a long wait, Yu Cai walked out of the main house with empty bowls and plates, Fang Mumu held the plate with one hand and Yu Cai with the other, and the two of them slowly walked towards the kitchen step by step. When the two of them entered the kitchen, as soon as they lowered the curtain of the kitchen, they heard Fang Jian's footsteps, and when Fang Jian's footsteps faded away, the hearts of the two of them were relaxed, and the strength that supported Yu Cai's persistence was also withdrawn in an instant.

After Fang Mumu put the empty plate on the stove, he slowly moved the remaining dishes to the kang in the side room. Fang Mumu turned on the light in the side room and came to Yu Cai, who was lying on the kang on her side, looking at the bloodstained clothes on Yu Cai's back, she couldn't hold back and cried again. Fang Mumu ran out to fetch a basin of warm water while crying, and then cleaned the wounds of the flesh for Yu Cai.

Fang Jian's temper was like a whim storm, and it was quiet after the raging, but when he got up the next day, Fang Mumu found that his mother's right leg was lame.

In the days that followed, Fang Mumu didn't expect that she could go to junior high school, she realized that she might be here to repay her debts in this life, and in addition, she couldn't have any more hopes, otherwise what was waiting for her was the abuse set by fate.

After the exam, Yuan Chengle went to the city, and Fang Mumu was glad that he didn't have to face the person who gave him hope of going to school at this time.

Since then, Fang Mumu seems to have grown up overnight, helping Yu Cai run in the field at home.

What made Fang Mumu see that the repeated days had changed was when the junior high school was about to start, and the village chief and two other strangers who were waiting at the door of his house.

The two strangers said that they were teachers from Feiwa Middle School in the township, and because Fang Mumu had excellent grades, they came to officially admit Fang Mumu to their school to study in junior high school.

Fang Mumu's tanned face did not show joy because of this, she looked at the person in front of her timidly and said, "I have to ask my father." ”

The village chief was originally proud that the teachers from Feiwa Middle School personally came to the village to recruit Fang Mumu, who had excellent grades, but Fang Mumu's attitude made him a little embarrassed. He could only laugh and say to the two teachers from Feiwa Middle School, "It's okay, his dad is an active member of the village, there is no problem." ”

That day, Fang Jian came back from outside early as if he knew that there was a guest at home, and took the village chief and the two teachers to the main house to talk for a long time, and occasionally Fang Mumu, who passed by in front of the door, could hear their laughter inside.

After the village chief left with the two teachers, Fang Jian stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Fang Mumu with a smile, and Fang Mumu felt furious, but Fang Mumu's face had the usual smile on his father's face, "Dad, the meal will be ready soon." ”

"I'm not here to ask for food." Fang Jian looked at Yu Cai, "Yin'er picked up two clothes for Mu Mu so that he could prepare for junior high school." With that, he turned and walked away happily.

Later, Fang Mumu learned that Feiwa Middle School gave her father a sum of money in order to admit her, and she had no way of knowing how much.
