Time flies like a white horse, the imprint of yesterday is still left, and the memories of the day before yesterday have faded away.

In a blink of an eye, Fang Mumu was already twenty-eight years old. From Fang Mumu's graduation from high school to now, she is used to living with an inferiority complex with her left hand like an ornament every day, and it has been a full ten years, in the past ten years, what has supported her to this day is that her brother has said that he will wait for him to come back to marry her, and now, she no longer expects her brother to marry her, she only hopes that her brother can come back, let herself keep the promise of waiting, and then live her life alone in her own way. But when the crockpot village changed from the small village it used to be, my brother didn't come back.

Under Yu Cai's long-term guidance and persuasion, Fang Mumu, who was originally reluctant to go out because of the relationship between his left hand, slowly began to try to go out. From the very beginning, she didn't have the courage to take the next step when she walked to her own door, and later, she grabbed her left wrist with her right hand, held her hands in her arms, accompanied her mother to work in the fields, walked around the village at will, and always smiled indifferently when facing the people in the village. Even when she passed by the entrance of the village alone, she would listen to the old mother-in-law who had lost her teeth and talk in a whisper while glancing at her, but she never showed a lost expression. In fact, she really wanted to say to them: I can hear what you say.

Walking on the country road, Fang Mumu will always take a closer look at the small village he lives in. In ten years, everything has changed.

After all, entering the era of the industrial revolution, there are huge machines everywhere, except for sowing seeds, others have been mechanized, hoeing without hoeing, using a hoe instead, a person driving a hoe, a person can hoe more than ten or twenty acres of land a day. Instead of using a sickle, two or three people can turn on the machine and harvest all the crops in the village in three to five days. Small bungalows were built on the edge of the farmland where wheat was originally used to put wheat and set up wheat fields, because there was a machine for flouring wheat, and the wheat could be powdered when it was taken back, and the wheat would be moved back to whoever was finished with the flour.

In addition to farmland, the most changes have been made in houses. In the past, when Fang Mumu and Yuan Chengle went to Lizhi Mountain to play, at a glance, the village was full of earthen houses and earth walls, and it was already good to see one or two brick houses with brick walls. Nowadays, the earthen houses have been turned into tiled houses, rows of earthen walls have been replaced with brick walls, and some people who have made money have even built two-story small western-style buildings, although the appearance is a little strange, but it is indeed more magnificent than the bungalows.

In the past, the fastest means of transportation in the village was a donkey cart, and the descending was an ox cart. In the last two years, there have been motorcycles with the same two wheels but faster than bicycles, tricycles with three wheels, and walk-behind vehicles with four wheels. Because of the change of transportation, the time to and from the town has been shortened, and the people of the village have gone to the town more and more frequently. I've been to town before, and maybe I can say it out and show it off, but now everyone has become very modest, because there are not many people who haven't been to town, so there is nothing to show off. The more I went to the town, the more people in the village began to change, I used to think that I was a farmer, and it was good to be able to wear clothes, but now I want to dress well and dress decently.

Life is getting better, but people are getting older. Those who have grown old in the past either don't have the sights to see it all, or they don't have the heart to see it anymore.

Dr. Bai had passed away two years ago, and his yard was now inhabited by people living in the field, who claimed to be distant cousins of Dr. Bai, but Dr. Bai had always lived alone before his death, and even when he left, there was no one by his side. Dr. Bai was found by his neighbors three days after his death, and the villagers felt sorry for Dr. Bai who had been treating the villagers all his life, so each family took out some money to bury Dr. Bai and handle the funeral for him.

Fang Mumu's grandmother went to the town with someone to catch the market last year, but she didn't expect to be hit by a car, hurt her bones, and her legs could barely stand up. Since then, Yu Cai's family and his mother's family have run at both ends, serving the big and small ones in the family, and then going to serve the old ones in his mother's family. In the eyes of others, Yu Cai is really filial, and he didn't leave his wife alone at this time. But in the eyes of Grandma Fang Mumu, Yu Cai is still a broom star that she can't see, and when she sees Yu Cai coming to serve her, she always has to say a few words, and she feels comfortable in her heart. Fang Mumu asked her mother why her grandmother treated her like this, and she was willing to serve her grandmother without complaint. Yu Cai only smiled and said: Because that is the mother who gave birth to me and raised me.

Looking at the slowly darkening sky, Fang Mumu thought that he had almost shopped around today, and it was time to go back. She first walked to the door of her grandmother's house, usually when her mother entered, she would leave a crack in the door, but now the door was closed, and her mother should have gone home. So, she turned around and headed in the direction of her house.

Familiar laneways, unfamiliar are changes. Fang Mumu stood at the mouth of the alley, and he could see the innermost home at a glance. Because Zhang Erwa smashed the door with a hoe, her father gritted his teeth and slowly renovated the house bit by bit.

As far as Fang Mumu is concerned, if he wants to go home, he must pass through the door of Yuan Chengle's house. Yuan Chengle's home was also renovated, and his family's economic conditions were already good, so he built one of the few two-story small western-style buildings in the village. The door of his house has also been replaced with a new one, and since the change of the gate, the lock that used to hang on the gate has not been seen very often, and his parents will often come out and go.

If it was placed at the age of eighteen or twenty, Fang Mumu might still be looking forward to meeting his parents at the door of Yuan Chengle's house, and then if he had the opportunity, he would listen to the news of Yuan Chengle in their words. But now, the last thing she wants to pass by is Yuan Chengle's door, she is afraid of meeting his parents, afraid of hearing anything they say, even if it is not about Yuan Chengle.

Fang Mumu lowered his head and walked briskly, looking at the stones on the ground, estimating the time, and calculating the distance to the door of the house.

"Mumu~"

Fang Mumu's body shook, and the whole person froze in place, she laughed at the boredom of fate in her heart, and she would always meet the last thing she didn't want to see when she was reluctant.

Fang Mumu turned around slowly, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Yuan Chengle's mother with a smile, "Hello, Auntie." ”

"Auntie is fine, I just haven't seen you for a long time." Yuan Chengle's mother walked in slowly, reaching out to touch the poor Fang Mumu in front of her.

Fang Mumu's body stepped back unconsciously, she was a little embarrassed, "Auntie is fine." ”

Yuan Chengle's mother looked at her hand hanging in the air and Fang Mumu who retreated, she slowly lowered her hand and looked at Fang Mumu with a distressed face, "Your aunt knows, a few days ago, your mother also told me about you and Lele, I have been looking for a chance to tell you, Lele him..."

"Auntie~" Fang Mumu interrupted Yuan Chengle's mother in a panic, she didn't want Yuan Chengle's mother to continue, she was afraid of hearing bad news about Yuan Chengle, and she was afraid that her disappointment of falling to the bottom would turn into despair, "Are you quite busy?" Then hurry up and get busy! I'll have to go back first, my mom is still waiting for me to eat. ”

After saying that, Fang Mumu turned around and ran to the door of his house with his hands in his hands, letting Yuan Chengle's mother call her name behind her, but she didn't hear it.

After Fang Mumu closed the new door that she had changed, she squatted down against the door, because she found that her legs were weak and she was still shaking. The tears seemed to be summoned, and they kept flowing, no matter how Fang Mumu wiped them with his sleeves, he couldn't finish wiping them off.

"Mumu, what's wrong with you?" Yu Cai came out of the kitchen to splash water, and when she turned around to go back to the house, she found Fang Mumu squatting at the gate, she quickly threw down the basin and ran towards Fang Mumu.

"Mumu, what's wrong with you?" Yu Cai held Fang Mumu's lowered head, wanting to look at Fang Mumu's eyes, but saw Fang Mumu's tears, "Mumu, where are you uncomfortable, tell your mother, okay?" Don't scare your mother! ”

Fang Mumu, who was teary-eyed, looked at his mother's vague figure, and the sadness in his heart seemed to rush out of his body, "Mom~ I don't know if I'm okay, I just feel so uncomfortable." ”

"Good Mumu, you tell your mother, where are you uncomfortable." Yu Cai held Fang Mumu in his arms, and her body followed to stand up, "Mumu don't cry, mom will take you to the hospital to see a doctor, so that you won't feel uncomfortable." ”

Hearing that she went to the hospital to see a doctor, Fang Mumu realized her mother's worries later, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve, "Mom~ I'm fine, I just want to cry." ”

Yu Cai breathed a long sigh of relief, pulled Fang Mumu out of his arms, and pointed his finger at Fang Mumu's head, "You, scared to death Mom, I thought something was wrong with you." ”

Fang Mumu lowered his head guiltily, "Mom~ I'm sorry." As she spoke, a tear fell on the back of her left hand.

Yu Cai took the opportunity to sit beside Fang Mumu, "What do you say stupid kid, I'm sorry." ”

Fang Mumu didn't speak again, but slowly leaned his head on his mother's shoulder, enjoying the comfort from his mother.

Just as Fang Mumu and Yu Cai were sitting quietly watching everything in the courtyard at dusk at sunset, the door behind them was kicked several times in a row.

"Open the door!" Fang Jian stood outside the door and shouted into the door.

Panicked, Yu Cai and Fang Mumu looked at each other, Yu Cai got up, helped Fang Mumu up, patted the dust on Fang Mumu's body, and then pushed Mu Mu into the yard, and whispered, "Hurry up and go into the kitchen." ”

"Okay." Fang Mumu nodded and ran quickly to the kitchen.

"Open the door! Where did they all die? Fang Jian scolded and kicked the door a few more times.

Yu Cai saw Fang Mumu walk into the kitchen, she touched her hair with her hand and tugged at her clothes, "It's here." ”

After opening the door, Fang Jian didn't come in immediately, but leaned on the door, frowning and looking at Yu Cai, "Your eyes are red, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, just chopped onions." Fang Jian's concern happened from time to time after Fang Mumu cut his wrists, and Yu Cai knew that he didn't really want to care, but he didn't want to be passive and be talked about. Well, the older you get, the more you want to be more active.

"Oh." Fang Jian struggled to stand up straight and swaying his body, and walked into the courtyard slowly, looking around as he walked, "What about the bad luck thing?" ”

Yu Cai was first shocked in his heart, and then replied to Fang Jian tremblingly, "In the kitchen." ”

"It's good to be back." Fang Jian continued to walk slowly towards the main house, walked to the door and said to Yu Cai, who had closed the door, "Oh, by the way, I won't eat tonight." ”

"Okay." Yu Cai nodded and sent Fang Jianmu into the main house, she let out a long sigh of relief.
