Chapter 8: In the end, I planted the land

By the time Fang Mumu and Yuan Chengle came down from the mountain, the sky was completely covered with darkness, and it was almost August 15, but there was no bright moon in the night sky that resembled a silver disk.

Fang Mumu looked at the alleyway in front of him, and suddenly called Yuan Chengle, "Brother~"

"Huh?" Yuan Chengle wanted to see Fang Mumu's face clearly at the moment through the lights of each house, the changes between her eyebrows when she called him brother, whether her eyes were happy, and whether the corners of her mouth were raised. However, the lights of each house had to illuminate each house, and they were surrounded by walls, doors and windows in a boxy space, and they could not take care of his desires.

"I haven't asked you yet, when will I leave the day after tomorrow?" Fang Mumu deliberately made his tone lighter when he spoke.

"The morning after tomorrow." Yuan Chengle took Fang Mumu's hand and continued to walk towards the alley where the two of them were located, "You don't need to send it." ”

"Okay." Fang Mumu's heart had already rippled because of the four words 'don't need to be sent', and she tried hard to suppress it, but she couldn't let herself show it, especially from her own voice.

Yuan Chengle wanted to explain to Fang Mumu that he didn't have to send it, because he was worried that she would cry because of parting. Before he could say anything, a figure standing at the entrance of the alleyway was the first to speak.

"Mumu?" Yu Cai was a little unsure if there was Fang Mumu among the two black figures in front of her who couldn't see their faces clearly, she just listened to the voice like Fang Mumu, and the fat height of one of the figures was also like Fang Mumu.

Yuan Chengle and Fang Mumu were both startled by this sudden voice, and the moment Fang Mumu came to his senses, his brain was running rapidly, and he realized that the voice he had just spoken was like her mother's.

"Mom?" Fang Mumu was a little skeptical that his ears had heard it wrong, after all, it was such a dark day.

As soon as Fang Mumu's words fell, he saw the black shadow in front of him running over and grabbing his wrist, "Ah~" She screamed unconsciously.

"Where did you go, kid?" Yu Cai grabbed Fang Mumu's wrist tightly, afraid that Fang Mumu would disappear without one of his notices.

"Auntie, I'm really sorry." Yuan Chengle looked at Yu Cai, who appeared on the other side of Fang Mumu, "We went out for a walk, and we came back a little late, and I was planning to send Mumu home." ”

Yu Cai naturally knew that the tall man standing beside Fang Mumu was Yuan Chengle, although Yuan Chengle took Fang Mumu out to make her worry after she came back, but she was not easy to have a seizure, after all, Fang Mumu was such a friend who could play together and talk about one place.

"It's okay, just come back." Yu Cai responded politely, "Lele, you should go back quickly, you haven't gone back so late, and your parents are also very worried about you." ”

"Okay, Auntie." Yuan Chengle could hear the unhappiness in Yu Cai's tone, although she hid it well. Therefore, Yuan Chengle was no longer stubborn and insisted on following Yu Cai and Fang Mumu's mother and daughter, "Auntie, then I'll go back first, and you guys will go back early." ”

"Hey, let's go back." Although Yu Cai said this, he didn't have the slightest intention of holding Fang Mumu's hand to leave.

"Goodbye, Auntie, goodbye Mumu." After Yuan Chengle waved his arm, he trotted towards his house.

After Yu Cai saw Yuan Chengle's figure go away, he pulled Fang Mumu and walked home.

"Mom~" Fang Mumu let her mother pull her, she knew that her mother was angry and angry with Yuan Chengle, not because Yuan Chengle took her out, but because Yuan Chengle didn't think that she was not good yet, so he ran out with her, and he didn't come back until now.

Yu Cai's silence made Fang Mumu feel more and more empty, and she didn't know if she should defend Yuan Chengle.

After struggling for a long time, Fang Mumu decided to make it clear to his mother, "Mom, I've been at home for nearly three months, and I really want to go out for a walk. My brother agreed to take me out after all my pleadings, and we didn't go far, but I came back late because I was walking slowly. ”

Yu Cai pushed open the big wooden door in front of her with a bang, and after Fang Mumu followed her in, she let go of the hand holding Fang Mumu and closed the door behind her from the inside.

"I don't care why, you're too dangerous." After Yu Cai whispered to Fang Mumu, he walked towards the side room with the lights on without looking back.

Fang Mumu found that not only the lights in the side room were on, but also the lights in the main house were on, indicating that her father had returned. It was also at this moment that she understood the so-called danger in her mother's mouth, not just the danger of her coming back so late.

The pain in her legs and feet caused by fatigue slowed down Fang Mumu's pace towards the side room a lot, and she looked at her mother who was about to enter the house in front of her, thinking about the possibility of how her father would suddenly rush out and treat her.

When Fang Mumu placed the stick on the top door behind the side door door, her somewhat frightened heart calmed down a little.

That night, except for her mother who slept with her back to Fang Mumu as if she was sulking, everything was spent in peace, she didn't have dreams about Yuan Chengle and her mother, nor did she have nightmares about her father.

As the days enter the countdown to parting, they pass faster, and it doesn't seem to want people to have too much time to be silent in the reunion before parting. And, after that night, Fang Mumu never saw Yuan Chengle again, even the day Yuan Chengle left.

That day, Fang Jian seemed to have calculated that Fang Mumu wanted to go out to see Yuan Chengle leave, and he had been sitting in the courtyard since he got up early in the morning. For Fang Mumu wandering in the yard, he always casts a different look.

Yu Cai saw Fang Jian's abnormality this day, and he didn't dare to go out, after all, some things, for Fang Jian, were all whims.

In the end, Yu Cai was busy working, Fang Mumu and Fang Jian were both sitting in the courtyard, Fang Jian was sitting at the door of the main house, Fang Mumu was sitting at the kitchen door, Fang Jian looked into the distance, and then looked at the people in the courtyard, Fang Mumu's eyes stayed in the sky where Yuan Chengle left the direction, she thought that he must have brought a lot of luggage, and his family must have sent him to school happily.

Thinking about it, Fang Mumu thought that Yuan Chengle's mother once joked that she wanted Yuan Chengle to marry her, but I don't know if when Yuan Chengle came back from college and wanted to marry her to his mother, his mother agreed at once, or...

"Are you deaf?" Fang Jian's voice broke the crystal ball of Fang Mumu's imagination.

Fang Mumu looked at the height of the sun, it must have been lunch time. Then, she slowly turned her head to Fang Jian, who was still wearing a messy hair like a chicken nest, and impatience became synonymous with his whole person.

"I ask you if you're deaf?" Fang Jian stood up, his brows furrowed, and looked down at Fang Mumu sitting at the door of the kitchen with a slight gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Fang Mumu looked at Fang Jian expressionlessly, I don't know when it started, the hypocritical smile she had in the face of her father never appeared on her face again, after being beaten, or after her father came back?

"What's wrong?" Before Fang Jian could talk about Fang Mumu, Yu Cai ran out of the livestock pen and asked Fang Jian as he walked towards Fang Mumu.

Fang Jian looked at Yu Cai's posture, so he had to let Fang Mumu go for the time being, "Do you want to starve me to death?" ”

"I'll serve the food." As he spoke, Yu Cai pulled Fang Mumu, who was sitting on the bench, into the kitchen.

Yu Cai wanted to say a few words about Fang Mumu, but when she saw Fang Mumu standing in front of her with her head down, she couldn't help it, she didn't have anyone she liked, and she didn't know what kind of mood it was like for someone she liked to go away. She could understand that just like Fang Jian was not a thing, if Fang Jian suddenly left one day, she would also feel sad.

"Let's get ready to eat." After Yu Cai finished speaking, he took out the lunch he had prepared in the morning from the big iron pot and put it on the plate.

Fang Jian ate and didn't mention half a sentence about Fang Mumu

The years have passed quickly, and it seems that winter is about to enter, except for the few big aspen trees at the entrance of the village, which still have some broken dead leaves, the other trees are already only bare branches.

After a few months of cultivation, Fang Mumu's legs and feet have fully recovered. In these months of cultivation, she has been entangled in what she wants to do and what she can do. In the end, she was reluctant to pick up textbooks again, and chose to help her mother support the family together.

At Fang Mumu's insistence, Yu Cai, who didn't agree with Fang Mumu working in the field, also nodded and agreed, but the premise was that the body was the first, and if there was any discomfort, he should tell her in advance, after all, working in the field is not something that can be solved with his brain, it requires strength and tenacity.

Fang Mumu and Yu Cai made at sunrise and rested at sunset, Yu Cai, who was usually alone in the field, had company, and Fang Mumu also really understood the hard work of working in the field, she was glad that she did not have a high eye, and she was glad that her decision could be shared by her mother who was carrying it alone.

At this time, Fang Jian was even more unscrupulous about drinking, but he would no longer trouble Yu Cai's mother and daughter, and when he wanted to drink and go crazy, he stayed in Chen Shaodong's teahouse and slept for a night. What made him change like this was that Fang Mumu chose to work in the field, after all, he was nearly half a hundred years old and didn't want to work in the field himself. Finally, someone is willing to work for him, and he will naturally be much more tolerant.

Fang Mumu's work has never been a fake, although she is thin, but the place where she should work hard is definitely not pretentious, and she never picks up the work in her field, because those who live in Fang Mumu are either doing it herself or her mother, and the only way she can feel sorry for her mother is to work more.

In the past, Fang Mumu spent most of her time reading, and she was almost always with Yuan Chengle when she played, and the villagers' opinions on her stayed in gossip.

Now that Fang Mumu has come out to work in the field, it can be regarded as showing up, and the people in the village no longer just stop at hearsay, but have a new understanding of her.

"I used to think that the daughter of the Fang family only had the ability to study, but I didn't expect that when she started working, she would not lose to her mother at all."

"But no, her mother was originally a master who could endure hardships, and the way she worked, I think she could endure hardships more than her mother."

"This big boss can be regarded as picking up a treasure, although the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are not born well, but they can endure hardships, and being able to endure hardships in this world is the last word, otherwise how to live."

"I think, if anyone can marry the daughter of the Fang family to the family as a daughter-in-law, that family will really pick up the baby, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law can sleep on the kang and wait to serve."

"By the way, how old is that girl of the Fang family this year?"

"This year is just after the eighteenth."

"Yo, all that big? If it were put in our generation, we would have given birth to two or three children. ”

"The main thing is that knowledge changes fate, although in the end I still planted the land."
