Even when she heard the sound of the door of the main house being slammed shut, Fang Mumu didn't get up from the ground, she still squatted on the ground against the door, staring at the darkness in the side room with empty eyes.

"Mumu, open the door." Yu Cai was outside the door with a prepared meal in one hand and knocked on the door with the other.

When Fang Mumu reacted, Yu Cai had knocked on the door for a long time, she stood up in a panic, but because of the numbness of the body after squatting for a long time, she endured the numbness like an electric shock and stood up again, took the top door stick away, put her hand on the wall, and opened the door, "Mom~"

"Was you just sleeping? Why did it take so long to open the door? Yu Cai asked as she walked towards the house, she didn't notice Fang Mumu's abnormality, "Mumu, put the kang table on the kang and prepare to eat." ”

"Okay." Fang Mumu leaned against the wall and slowly approached, and with each step, her numb feet limped as if she had been beaten with a stick.

"Why..."Yu Cai put the plate in her hand on the kang, wanting to turn around and ask Fang Mumu why he was so slow, when she saw Fang Mumu limping against the wall, she walked over and supported Fang Mumu worriedly, "What's wrong?" Was it the leg that was beaten badly? ”

"No, I didn't fight that badly, I just squatted on the ground, and I squatted for too long and became numb to squatting." Fang Mumu said with an embarrassed smile.

"You~" Yu Cai put Fang Mumu's hand on his shoulder, and put his hand on Fang Mumu's waist, so that Fang Mumu's whole person relied on him, "Hold on." ”

"Okay." Fang Mumu nodded, and then handed herself to her mother, with the help of her mother, she sat on the kang, she turned over and knelt up, wanting to go to the kang table not far from her.

"I'll do it myself." Yu Cai grabbed Fang Mumu, "You, sit down for me." ”

"Actually, I can." Fang Mumu looked at his mother's busy figure and whispered.

"You can eat." After Yu Cai put the food on the kang table, he handed a bowl of rice to Fang Mumu.

"Thank you, Mom~" Fang Mumu took the rice and handed it to his mother with a big smile.

"Okay, it's like going to someone's house to have a meal, so why are you polite?" Yu Cai picked up the chopsticks and put the vegetables in the square wooden bowl, "Hurry up and eat." ”

"Okay." Fang Mumu smiled, picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp, after eating a few bites, she found that Yu Cai had been watching her and not eating, she stopped her chopsticks and asked suspiciously, "Mom, why don't you eat?" Is it Dad's side that hasn't finished eating yet? ”

It stands to reason that if Fang Jian hadn't finished eating, Yu Cai wouldn't have brought the meal over, even if he knew that it didn't make sense to ask like this, but apart from this question, Fang Mumu couldn't think of a reason why his mother didn't eat and only stared at her.

"Your dad has eaten it." Yu Cai didn't pick any vegetables, fed several mouthfuls of rice to his mouth, and said inarticulate while eating, "I'm eating, I'm eating." ”

"Mom, if you have vegetables, don't just eat rice." Fang Mumu used his chopsticks to put some vegetables into the bowl that Yu Cai picked up, "Just eat with the dishes." ”

Yu Cai looked at the extra dishes in the bowl, and did not continue to eat, but stopped the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the food in the bowl, and did not speak.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Fang Mumu asked with some concern, "Is something happening?" ”

"No... Nothing, nothing happened. Yu Cai said, tears flowed down involuntarily, she was afraid that Fang Mumu would worry, so she quickly wiped away the tears with the back of her hand holding chopsticks, "The green pepper planted this year is spicy enough, so spicy that I can't stand it anymore." ”

Fang Mumu put the chopsticks in his hand on the kang table, "Mom, what happened?" ”

"You kid, I said it was chili, why don't you believe it?" Yu Cai picked a few green peppers from his bowl and sandwiched them into Fang Mumu's bowl, "Don't believe it, you taste it yourself." ”

"Mom!" Fang Mumu didn't move the dishes and chopsticks, still staring at Yu Cai in front of him, "The green peppers are all fried yellow, no matter how spicy they are, they won't cry you spicy." ”

"There are so many crooked reasons." Yu Cai continued to eat, tears kept flowing down, and finally, she couldn't hold back anymore, got up and prepared to leave, "No, I have to change the bowl of rice again." ”

"Mom~" Fang Mumu knelt up and grabbed Yu Cai, "Is there anything we can't say between us?" ”

"Yes." After Yu Cai turned her back to Fang Mumu for a long time, she turned around and looked at Fang Mumu squarely, "Your life's event." ”

Fang Mumu's grip on Yu Cai's hand gradually loosened, and she slowly sat back on the kang, "Mom, I told you about this question, I thought you knew what I thought." ”

"What do you think?" she sat on the edge of the kang weakly, "Can't you change your mind?" ”

"I can't." Fang Mumu lowered his head and whispered stubbornly, unwilling to look at Yu Cai.

"Why are you so dead-eyed, kid?" Yu Yong kept wiping the tears that were more fierce than just now, "Although Lele is good, you can't come together after all." ”

"My brother said, let me wait for him." Fang Mumu watched his tears fall on the back of his hand, "I promised him, saying that I would wait for him to come back." ”

Yu Cai raised his head and looked at Fang Mumu with teary eyes, "Wait for him to come back, and then what?" Will you marry again? ”

"I don't know." Fang Mumu didn't have the courage to say what Yuan Chengle said at the beginning, 'Wait for me to come back and marry you', and under her mother's repeated inquiries, she didn't have the confidence to say that sentence.

"And when will he be back?" Yu Cai's voice grew louder with the surging tears.

"I don't know." Fang Mumu still lowered her head, thinking about Yuan Chengle, who had not heard from her in the past two years, she really didn't know when Yuan Chengle would be able to come back.

"So what are you waiting for?" The more Yu Cai spoke, the more excited he became, he stood up directly and looked down at Fang Mumu, and asked with questions in his words, "Do you have to wait until you are seventy or eighty?" Will you wait until you will guard him for the rest of your life until you lie down in the grave? ”

"Mom~" Fang Mumu finally raised her head and looked at her mother, she wanted to defend Yuan Chengle, "No!" My brother said he would come back, and he would definitely come back soon. ”

"I asked his mother a few days ago, and his mother said that he might not come back to the village, where did you get the news that he will come back? Did he write to you, or did he send you a message? Every time she asked more, Yu Cai felt that the more anger she was holding in her heart, how much she was grateful to Yuan Chengle at the beginning, how angry Yuan Chengle was at the moment. Yin Yin knew that she might never go back, but she wanted to lock her Mu Mu firmly with a word, why?

Fang Mumu lowered his head weakly, "No." These two words tell all her helplessness, but if Yuan Chengle can give her a little message, she will not answer so powerlessly at the moment.

"Mumu!" Yu Cai stepped forward and grabbed Fang Mumu's shoulders, "You're twenty years old!" Not twelve! Now I can't even hold you in my arms and not let others see you, after all, the years are not forgiving, you have to get married and have children when you grow up, otherwise don't say it's you, even me and your father will be laughed at by the people in the village to death! You..."

"Mom!" Fang Mumu interrupted Yu Cai, she looked at the back of her hand, as if it was a magic mirror that could see the future, she stared at the back of her hand, "Other people's jokes are someone else's, my days are mine, even if I really wait until I am seventy or eighty, as long as my brother doesn't say no to wait, I will keep waiting until my brother comes back." ”

"You!" Yu Cai's hand was held high, she really wanted to slap Fang Mumu awake, so that she could recognize the reality and let her see her situation clearly. But her hand still didn't fall after all, "You want to me off first!" ”

Fang Mumu knew that her actions today had hurt her mother's heart enough, she didn't dare to say anything, she could only bow her head silently.

"Forget it! Never mind! Your dad is right, I did it myself, if I hadn't been too concerned about your thoughts, if I hadn't let you make your own decisions in everything, I wouldn't be where I am today. Yu Cai slowly fell back to the side of the kang step by step, "Even if I can see it again, I can't see such a thing as a lifelong event." You are already twenty years old, after all, you have to get married, you may be able to find a good family if you marry early, and a few years later, those crooked melons and cracked dates don't necessarily have to be you. ”

Tears hit the back of Fang Mumu's hand again and again, she was white about the truth between her mother's words, but some things are not white, you can really do it yourself, or let it go suddenly. She tried to argue, but her clenched lips and teeth stopped her.

"Your dad means today that he will marry you in the near future, if the family affairs are decided, I will not let you do the same before, I will follow Zhang Luo together." Yu Cai squinted his eyes and glanced at Fang Mumu, "Don't blame your mother for being ruthless, and don't blame your mother for being towards your father." ”

When he first heard his mother say that he was going to send his family recently, Fang Mumu was very surprised. After being surprised, her hands clenched tightly, suppressing the reluctance in her heart between her hands, she knew that no matter how many words she said now, I don't want to, I don't want to, it would be useless, usually so to her mother, she didn't even have room to resist.

After Yu wiped away his tears with both hands, he covered his face and took several deep breaths, "You eat slowly, I still have something in the kitchen, I'll go and get busy first." After that, she stood up, didn't look at Fang Mumu again, and walked straight out of the side room, this kind of conversation will have sooner or later, but today it was Fang Jian who picked up this talk, and she just took advantage of the situation.

When the stone in her heart that she didn't know how to fall suddenly fell, the pain all over her body hit Yu Cai, she endured the pain and walked quickly to the kitchen, sat on the small bench, leaned against the wall, closed her eyes and let the pain rage all over her body.

Listening to her mother's footsteps in the distance, Fang Mumu raised her tearful eyes, the light at the door was blurred, her legs curled up, burying her face between her knees, tears and the pain after numbness accompanied her fragile at the moment.

"Brother, I really can't hold on."

"Brother, why don't you come back?"

"Brother, why don't you even want to give me a letter with a word?"

"Brother, what should I do?"

......

Countless questions were thrown at Fang Mumu, and in her helpless head, her father and mother were smiling to see her off, and there seemed to be a smile on the face of the stranger who couldn't see clearly, and the whole village was very happy, but she was the only one who cried and mourned.

After that day, Fang Mumu became less talkative, and she did whatever Yu Cai said, like an emotionless machine. In the days when she gradually returned to normal, she waited for the bad news that she was going to get married.
