Chapter 20: 427 days of absence
When did Yuan Chengle leave, Fang Mumu didn't know, how she was pressed into the quilt by her mother again, she had no memory, her memory seemed to be sealed, staying at the moment when Yuan Chengle said that she was going out for a walk.
"Mumu, it's time to sleep." Before Yu Cai was about to turn off the lights, he glanced at Fang Mumu and saw that she was still open, so he persuaded her.
Fang Mumu obediently blinked his eyes and nodded. Yu Cai didn't say anything more, turned off the light, lay down in the quilt, and then moved to Fang Mumu's side, this time, she didn't grab the quilt again, but gently held Fang Mumu's wrist.
Fang Mumu turned her head to look at her mother sluggishly, but the room was too dark, she couldn't see her mother's face at all, she slowly fell asleep, and let her mother hold her hand, for her, the more important thing was not her mother, but how to face Yuan Chengle on a cloudy day, or what way to escape and go out with Yuan Chengle.
In the thought of his thoughts rushing left and right, Fang Mumu fell asleep. She felt like she had just closed her eyes and fell asleep, and the rooster outside began to crow, she opened her tired eyes and wanted to sit up, but she moved her arms to react, and her wrist was still being held by her mother.
"Mumu, don't run around." As the words fell, Yu Cai's strength in holding Fang Mumu's wrist increased.
Fang Mumu listened to Yu Cai's vague tone, and secretly blamed himself for almost waking up his mother.
When Yu Cai's chaotic breathing became regular again, Fang Mumu exhaled a long breath, opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling that was too dark to see the outline, and waited for his mother to wake up naturally.
Time has become extremely long again, and in normal times, the dawn is all at once, but today's day seems to be dragged down by unreasonable people, and it brightens very slowly.
Fang Mumu felt that his awakened consciousness was stirred into sticky porridge by Yuan Chengle's words, and he was about to burn in the long wait at this moment.
Yu Cai opened her sleepy eyes, and immediately made sure that the wrist she was holding in her hand was still there, and then touched Fang Mumu sideways, feeling that Fang Mumu was by her side, she let go of Fang Mumu's wrist with peace of mind, got up quickly, folded the quilt three times by five, and went out to prepare breakfast.
Fang Mumu's mother who was motionless and sent away, when she felt the door of the house open, the cool breeze that blew in was warmed by the air that had been closed in the house overnight, she sat up, touched the black quilt, put on her shoes, walked to the cabinet, and looked for clothes in the cabinet by feeling, she wanted to find a beautiful dress, in case she couldn't hide, she still had to follow Yuan Chengle out.
Looking at the clothes that were all the same in the dark, Fang Mumu had to put them back in the cabinet, walked to the door, stuck out her head, looked into the yard, and saw that the kitchen light was on, and there was no one else in the faintly bright yard, she went into the house and turned on the light.
Under the light, I quickly found a dress from the wardrobe that I thought I could still see, spread the front on the kang, quickly turned off the light, and then got dressed in the dark.
When Yu Cai brought breakfast in, he was startled when he saw Fang Mumu who had packed up, "Mumu, what are you doing here?" ”
"My brother said to take me out for a walk." Fang Mumu was a little embarrassed to explain to Yu Cai, as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it a little, now, no matter how much she wanted to avoid it, she couldn't avoid it.
"Okay, it's good to let Lele take you out for a walk." Yu Cai immediately smiled, yesterday Fang Mumu seemed to be in a stupid state that made her a little worried, looking at Fang Mumu's state today, she was glad that she asked Yuan Chengle yesterday.
Yu Cai and Fang Mumu quickly finished breakfast, Yu Cai had just finished cleaning up the table and was about to wash the dishes when she heard someone knocking on the door, she turned around and smiled at Fang Mumu, "It must be Lele, I'll open the door." ”
Yu Cai put down the plate, dragged the clothes on his body, and went to open the door, "It's coming~"
"Lele~" As expected, she opened the door and saw Yuan Chengle, the smile on her face bloomed in the autumn wind, like a flower that blooms in summer, "Have you eaten?" ”
"Auntie, I've eaten, I'm here to find Mumu." Yuan Chengle responded with a smile.
"Come on, come on, come in." Yu Cai turned sideways, got out of the way, and let Yuan Chengle come in, she gently closed the door, and there was no lock, and then walked to Yuan Chengle's side, and took Yuan Chengle to the side room, "Are you going to take Mumu out for a walk?" ”
"Yes." Yuan Chengle was like a young man who had been poked out of his heart, and said with some embarrassment.
"Lele, thank you for thinking so much about us Mumu, if it weren't for you, we Mumu wouldn't be willing to go out of the house so quickly." Yu Cai said gratefully.
"Auntie, you're polite, this is what I should do." Yuan Chengle felt more and more embarrassed.
"There's nothing you shouldn't do." Yu Cai stopped and looked sideways at Yuan Chengle, "It's your good heart, and it's good for Mumu, it's a pity that creation makes people..."
"Auntie, I..." Yuan Chengle wanted to say his own thoughts, but was interrupted by Yu Cai.
"Needless to say." Yu Cai smiled and continued to walk towards the side room, "Auntie knows, and she is also white, you guys are good now." ”
Yuan Chengle and Yu Cai got closer and closer to the side room, Yu Cai's last sentence was very quiet, Yuan Chengle opened his mouth and didn't say anything more.
"Mumu, Lele is here to pick you up." The moment Yu Cai opened the curtain, his face was full of smiles, "You hurry up and clean up and follow Lele out for a walk." ”
"Okay." Fang Mumu lowered her head, not daring to look straight ahead, she was originally sitting on the edge of the kang, her dangling feet slowly landed, and one hand was at a loss to pull the corner of her clothes.
"It's autumn, it's cold, remember to wear more clothes when you go out." Yu Cai hurriedly picked up the plate, walked to the door, and turned around to admonish.
"Okay." Fang Mumu nodded.
As soon as Yu Cai went out, Yuan Chengle strode up to Fang Mumu, took her right hand, and walked out the door.
"Don't be in such a hurry." Yuan Chengle's steps were too big, Fang Mumu's steps didn't keep up, and then trotted two steps, she whispered behind Yuan Chengle as she ran.
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited." Yuan Chengle slowed down, a little embarrassed.
"It's fine." Fang Mumu shook his head, staring at Yuan Chengle's heels with both eyes, and let Yuan Chengle pull her.
The morning glow on the horizon is like the little girls who are just beginning to bloom, pink half of the sky, waiting for the half-smiling sun to climb out of the mountain.
"You came out so early, didn't the family ask?" Fang Mumu took the lead in breaking the embarrassment of silence between her and Yuan Chengle, she wanted to ask Yuan Chengle, wouldn't his daughter-in-law mind if he came out so early? But she always felt that it would be strange for her to ask like that, and it might make them more awkward between them, so she changed her way of asking questions that she felt was tactful.
"They didn't ask." Yuan Chengle looked back at Fang Mumu and replied with a smile.
"Oh~" Fang Mumu could feel it, as if this question was asked tactfully, but the embarrassment became even worse.
"Hold on a little longer, you'll have to walk for a while." Yuan Chengle looked at the road in front of him and comforted Fang Mumu.
"Are you going up the mountain?" Fang Mumu looked at the dirt road under his feet, felt the wind blowing from all directions, raised his head, and found that she and Yuan Chengle were now standing at the foot of Lizhi Mountain.
"Well, the air there is good, the view is wide, and it is convenient to talk." Yuan Chengle nodded, and pulled Fang Mumu to the mountain.
When the sun climbed into the sky, Fang Mumu and Yuan Chengle had already reached the top of the mountain, and the two of them sat on the side of the mountain, panting and adjusting their breathing.
"You're so red." Fang Mumu looked up at Yuan Chengle and smiled at the pink that appeared on his fair cheeks, "It's the first time I've seen your face so red." ”
"It seems that I will have to climb the mountain with you often in the future." Yuan Chengle looked at Fang Mumu's smiling face, and laughed as she did, responding to Fang Mumu with a little seriousness.
Hearing Yuan Chengle's words, Fang Mumu's laughter stopped abruptly, and she was happy and entangled in her heart. Happily, this was said by Yuan Chengle. can be entangled, Yuan Chengle's serious words are a little unreasonable, Yin Yin He is already married.
"What? Is it so scary to come with me to climb the mountain often after hearing about it? Yuan Chengle teased.
"It's not." Fang Mumu stood up with a wry smile and looked down the mountain, "However, my brother is a person with a daughter-in-law, so this is not good." ”
"I have a daughter-in-law? Who do you listen to? Yuan Chengle then stood up and asked Fang Mumu with a puzzled expression.
"My brother said it himself, it's here, I've seen that woman, it's beautiful." Fang Mumu tried to make the smile on his face look open-minded.
"Did you misunderstand something?" Yuan Chengle pulled Fang Mumu over, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and looked at her face, "I'm not married, and I don't have any so-called daughter-in-law!" I don't know who that so-called beautiful woman you are talking about. ”
"How... How can it be? Fang Mumu couldn't laugh anymore, she couldn't believe it, "Yin Yin... Yin Yin is my brother said that you are coming back to prepare for marriage, Yin Yin I..."
"Why are you so stupid?" Yuan Chengle looked at Fang Mumu's face full of disbelief, and said with some hurt, "I said, I came back to get married, I want to marry you, you didn't even give me a chance to say a complete sentence, do you know that I have been waiting for you, even if I know that you are married, I have been waiting." Waiting for you to be my bride, you have been absent from my wedding for 427 days. ”
"Nope! That's not true! Fang Mumu broke free of Yuan Chengle's hands, "It's not like this!" ”
"That's right! All the time! Yuan Chengle grabbed Fang Mumu and hugged her into his arms, "Mumu, I'm waiting, marry me!" ”
"Nope! No! Fang Mumu used all her strength to break free of Yuan Chengle's embrace, and she retreated, "No!" You deserve the best bride! I'm no longer suitable, and it's not worth it! ”
Fang Mumu turned around and ran, like crazy, leaving Yuan Chengle standing there in a daze, "You are worth it, you have always been worth it!" I'll marry you, I will. ”
Yu Cai stood at the door and looked at the entrance of the lane, it was almost dusk, Fang Mumu hadn't come back yet, she was waiting in the yard in a little hurry, so she had to come out and stand at the door to wait.
Fang Mumu stumbled at the mouth of the alleyway, the whole person looked very wrong, Yu Cai hurriedly ran to Fang Mumu and helped her.
Seeing Fang Mumu's face as red as if he had been poisoned, and his red and swollen eyes that were still stained with tears, Yu Cai asked worriedly, "Mumu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Fang Mumu looked up at his mother in front of him, didn't say anything, and burst into tears.
"It's okay, it's okay, mom is here." Yu Cai hugged Fang Mumu and patted her on the back, "Mom will take you home, and you will be fine when you go home." ”
