"Hey, old sister, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"It's the car that came two days ago, and it is said to be Fang Jian's future in-laws."

"What? That daughter of Fang Jian's family is getting married? ”

"Yes, I also heard from the little daughter-in-law next door."

"Ouch, it's really a bad thing in the end, and there are many good things, which makes my old woman want to be reincarnated as a broom star in her next life."

"What is this old lady?! Good people don't expect it, but they want to expect people like that. ”

"I just said it casually, you just listened to it casually, you didn't really think about it."

The rumors about Fang Mumu marrying someone in Clay Pot Village are getting more and more popular, Fang Mumu is not listening to things outside the window, and he is too lazy to listen, but Yu Cai has to listen to it involuntarily, and there are always a few women in the village who pull her and ask when she is separated from Fang Mumu.

"Yo, Yu Cai is good! Are the in-laws you are looking for really that rich? ”

"Yu Cai, are you really going to marry your daughter?"

"Yu Cai, how did your family get up with such rich city people? Give my family a support. ”

"Yu Cai, have you ever been to your future in-laws' house? Is their family big? Broad-minded or not? ”

......

Yu Cai looked confused at the beginning, and then slowly sorted it out, although Yu Cai couldn't be sure if the rich woman she saw in the field that day had come to see Fang Mumu, what she could be sure of was that Fang Jian had found her in-laws for Fang Mumu. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad about this matter.

As Yu Cai accepted the content of the rumors, her mentality changed, and she cared more about Fang Mumu's food, clothing and daily life than before. Whenever she thought that Fang Mumu might marry someone else's wife in the near future, she felt panicked and wanted to give Fang Mumu more care, for fear that she would never be able to give it again.

One day at noon, Yu Cai had just finished cooking, Fang Jian had no sign of coming back, Fang Mumu had just put down the bucket in his hand, walked to Yu Cai's side and was about to bring the food to the table, one didn't pay attention, she was scalded by the outer wall of the dish containing the hot dishes, she reflexively quickly withdrew her hand and put her fingers on her earlobe.

Yu Cai happened to see it, stopped what he was doing, and pushed Fang Mumu to the table, "Sit down, didn't I say it, what you have to do now is to eat well, sleep well, and don't worry about anything else." ”

"Why?" Fang Mumu frowned slightly, her mother seemed to have said such things to herself these days, when she was carrying a basket of potatoes on her back, because she was greedy, she was full, and because of the hot weather, she walked a little long, causing her to almost fall halfway. She thought that her mother was just distressed for a while, but today she was just burned, and nothing happened, and her mother said the same thing, which made her heart very puzzled.

"You're a girl, I'm a mother, where are there so many whys." Yu Cai glanced at Fang Mumu as he spoke, and warned Fang Mumu, who was pressed on the stool by himself and wanted to get up, with his eyes, not to let her get up. Then, he turned around and quickly brought the meal to the table.

Seeing Fang Mumu quickly finish eating a bowl of rice, and was rolling up his sleeves to put away his bowl, Yu Cai grabbed Fang Mumu, "Sit down, what did I just say, are you listening?" ”

"I'm listening." Fang Mumu was dragged by Yu Cai and looked confused, she wanted to ask what she was listening to, but after thinking about it, if she asked like this, her mother would definitely feel hurt that she didn't listen to her, so she didn't ask.

Yu Yong looked Fang Mumu up and down with his eyes, "Then what are you doing here?" ”

"Washing the dishes, of course." Yu Cai's question made Fang Mumu a little inexplicable, after all, every time she finished eating, washing dishes and washing pots was her job.

"You still said you were listening, I just said you should leave everything else alone." Yu Cai looked at Fang Mumu with a straight face, and pressed the sentence that Fang Mumu was about to come to his lips back to the bottom of his heart.

Fang Mumu had nothing to do, she could only sit and wait for her mother to eat, usually she thought that her mother ate very quickly, but today she felt that her mother ate surprisingly slowly, as if she was deliberately wasting time.

Yu Cai was a little embarrassed by Fang Mumu, and raised his eyes to look at Fang Mumu, "There is still some rice in the pot, why don't you eat more?" ”

In addition to this method, Fang Mumu couldn't think of any other way to kill time and wait for his mother to eat, so he had to nod, and as soon as her hand touched the bowl, the bowl was taken away.

"Mommy is coming." Yu Cai got up while chewing his food and went to serve Fang Mumu rice.

Fang Mumu looked at her mother's back, and began to think about her mother's sudden change in her heart, her brain conducted a carpet search for the memories of recent days, and the more she recalled, the more the bad feeling in her heart that was suppressed began to stir inch by inch.

"Come, eat." Yu Cai put the bowl of rice in front of Fang Mumu, and Fang Mumu's thoughts were pulled back to reality.

Yu Cai and Fang Mumu sat opposite each other, both holding their bowls and eating with their own thoughts, and this meal was eaten until the sun was slanting westward at noon.

Under Yu Cai's repeated orders, Fang Mumu obediently sat on the stool and watched Yu Cai scramble to clean up.

After Yu Cai finished washing the dishes and finally washed her hands, Fang Mumu got up and walked out of the kitchen, stood at the door, looked up at the sky and estimated the time, this is a new skill she has learned since working in the field. The nap that was supposed to be there had had to be given up because of the ink of the meal.

There was a dark cloud above Fang Mumu's heart, which couldn't linger, and later, she let the dark cloud become infinitely big, anyway, when fate was coming, she wouldn't say hello. When fate needs people to bear, they will not let go easily.

Fang Mumu lowered her eyes weakly and walked towards the place where the hoe and shovel were placed, and before her hand touched the hoe, she was reprimanded by her mother's voice.

"Mumu!" Yu Cai walked briskly from the kitchen door, "You kid! What the hell is going on? Didn't Mom say you don't have to worry about anything else? ”

Fang Mumu's hand that originally wanted to take the hoe was hanging high, and she didn't know whether to continue to get the hoe or put it down obediently. She looked at her mother in front of her helplessly, her mother's appearance was still familiar, but her mother's feeling became strange. "I'm just doing what I normally do."

"You won't have to do any of this in the future." Yu Cai directly took the hoe and shovel standing on the wall, one in each hand, like a man with four legs standing in front of Fang Mumu, "I said, you don't have to care about anything now, you don't have to do anything." I'm going to go down to work, and you're going to rest at home. ”

"Mom~" Fang Mumu stopped Yu Cai, who turned around and was about to leave, "Can you tell me, what did I do wrong?" ”

"Huh?" Yu Cai looked back at Fang Mumu in confusion, "You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that you need to rest and take care of yourself now." ”

"But..."Fang Mumu felt her voice involuntarily get louder, and after a pause, she lowered her voice, "But I'm not sick, what to raise?" ”

"You are a girl, I am a mother, I said that you need to raise it, you have to raise it, and you don't have to be sick to raise it." Yu Cai said as if she was swearing her sovereignty as a mother, looking at Fang Mumu's slowly lowered head, her tone softened, she took out a free hand and patted Fang Mumu on the shoulder a few times, "Good, there is not much work in the field today, I will go and go back." ”

Fang Mumu knew that no matter what she said at the moment, she couldn't change her mother's mind that wanted her to rest, so she could only nod weakly, watching the pair of feet that belonged to her mother rotate in her lowered line of sight, and then quickly disappeared in front of her eyes.

The big wooden door made a heavy sound when it opened and closed, and after the sound fell, Fang Mumu slowly raised her head, looking at the empty courtyard, she stumbled towards the side house, the infinite dark cloud in her heart surrounded her, and tears ran wildly without warning. Mother said that this time she would approve of her father's behavior and marry herself, is there already an eyebrow?

Fang Mumu felt that her body lying on the kang became heavy, and her thoughts became even heavier, and this heaviness made it difficult for her to breathe, until she was about to lose her breath, she fell into a deep sleep.

"Stop!" Fang Jian, who had finished drinking from outside, called Yu Cai, who had just returned from the field, at the door of his house, "Have you heard about the happy event?" ”

Yu Cai nodded with her head lowered, she didn't dare to look directly at Fang Jian.

"It's good to hear about it, lest I tell you again." Fang Jian's hand was on the door frame, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said to Yu Cai, "Do you remember that in the past two days, you have taken that bad luck thing to buy two clothes and dress up better, but don't let that bad luck thing notice it?" lest she make any more trouble. ”

"Okay, master, I know." Yu Cai stood in front of Fang Jian, she wanted to say that even if Fang Jian didn't say it, she would do the same, after all, Fang Mumu was not an unlucky thing in her eyes, but her precious girl.

"It's good to know." Fang Jian lifted his footsteps and walked towards the main house, and after taking two steps, he turned back to Yu Cai and said, "Don't worry about me for dinner, I've already eaten it." ”

When Yu Cai raised her head, Fang Jian's figure had disappeared into the courtyard, she quickly closed the big wooden door and hurried back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The sky was completely occupied by darkness, and the dinner made by Yu Cai had already come out of the pot, Fang Mumu, who had not appeared, had worried her, and when she thought that Fang Mumu might be sleeping, she persuaded herself not to worry.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Cai put the food on the table into a wooden plate and brought it to the side room.

It was pitch black in the side room, so Yu Cai had to withdraw, put the food on the steps at the door, go in and turn on the lights in the side room, and then pick up the food on the steps and put it in the house, and put it on the kang table.

"Mumu~Mumu~" Yu Cai gently shook Fang Mumu's body.

Fang Mumu's brows furrowed together, but there was no sign of waking up.

Yu Cai knelt on the kang worriedly, stretched out his hand to Fang Mumu's forehead, cheeks, and neck, and touched them one by one, for fear that Fang Mumu would really get sick. She couldn't help but increase her strength and raise her voice, "Mumu ~ Mu Mu ~ Mu Mu ~"

"Hmm~" Fang Mumu was woken up by the sound of calls one after another, she slowly opened her sleepy eyes, looking around at the people shaking her body, behind her, she saw Yu Cai's figure, "Mom~"

Yu Cai saw Fang Mumu wake up, and suddenly sat down on the kang, "You dead girl, you want to scare your mother to death, I thought you were really sick." ”

"Nope." Fang Mumu got up and faced Yu Cai.

"Alright, let's go eat." Yu Cai said and got up and walked to the kang table and sat down, handed Fang Mumu's rice to Fang Mumu, looking at Fang Mumu's unhurried eating, Yu Cai really wanted to spend some more time to see, but she knew that she didn't have this time, "On a cloudy day, let's go to the town to buy you a few new clothes." ”

"What?" Fang Mumu looked up at his mother in disbelief as if he was hallucinating.
