Chapter 21: Why Can't I Marry?

When Yu Cai helped Fang Mumu back home, it was so dark that he couldn't see the slightest trace of the day. She settled Fang Mumu in the side room, hurriedly went back to the kitchen, heated the food in the pot, and just put the food on the plate, she heard that the door of her house was opened and closed again, no need to ask, she also knew that Fang Jian was back.

So, Yu Cai put aside the food prepared for Fang Mumu to dry, took out the food left for Fang Jian in the pot, and served the rice to Fang Jian first, and then turned around and came back to serve Fang Mumu's food.

Yu Cai pushed open the door, the lights in the room were not bright, Fang Mumu still maintained the sitting posture she had left, and the whole person stared blankly at a place on the ground, looking at it like that, she could know that her thoughts must have long since lost where they had flown to.

"Mumu, come and eat." Yu Cai put the food on the kang table, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked Fang Mumu to eat.

Fang Mumu's body was obviously shocked, and the three souls and seven spirits out of her body instantly returned to their places, she slowly turned her head and looked at Yu Cai, after a long time, seeing Yu Cai's lips slightly open and wanting to ask, she lowered her eyes and shook her head, "Mom, I really don't want to eat." ”

There is a kang table between Yu Cai and Fang Mumu, and the two sit across the table facing each other. Hearing Fang Mumu's words, Yu Cai stood up from the side of the table, walked to Fang Mumu and sat down, put his arm around Fang Mumu's shoulders, and asked with some concern, "Mumu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Instead of slowly caressing his cheeks and leaving as usual, tears came out of his eyes and fell directly, slapping on the back of his hand without warning. The tears stained on his eyelashes blurred his vision, and Fang Mumu couldn't see the warmth on the back of his hand. She shook her head slightly, her lips slightly open without saying a word.

The heart was pumped by grief and went crazy, there was no regularity to adapt, Fang Mumu endured the pain in his heart, did not let himself cry, and did not let fate see his vulnerability. She understands, and has always understood, that some misses are doomed, even if you wait for the past spring and autumn to write a piece of history. Even if he patiently listened to Yuan Chengle's words at that time, even if he understood Yuan Chengle's intentions, he would still be like this in the past.

"Don't think about the past." Yu Cai hugged Fang Mumu tightly in his arms, wanting to give her some maternal strength, so that she could be a little stronger, enough to support her to come out of the past, "In the future, my mother will accompany you." ”

The smell on Yu Cai's body was very healing, and the pain that Fang Mumu could feel was getting less and less, even so, the sadness still took away the strength from her.

"Mom, I'm so tired." Fang Mumu whispered weakly in Yu Cai's arms.

"When you're tired, go to sleep." Yu Cai pulled Fang Mumu out of his arms and wiped the tears on her face, "It's okay to sleep." ”

"Hmm." Fang Mumu mimicked the smile on Yu Cai's face and nodded heavily.

Yu Cai turned around and went to the kang, put Fang Mumu's pillow, pulled the quilt covered by Fang Mumu, pulled Fang Mumu on the kang, and settled her in the quilt.

"Mu Mu, you go to sleep first, mom go and cover the food, and when you wake up, we will eat." Yu Cai kept stroking Fang Mumu's hair, and when she saw Fang Mumu nodding, she stopped, cleaned up the kang table and food, and turned off the lights. After going out to do her work, she returned to the side room, slept next to Fang Mumu in the dark, and fell asleep holding Fang Mumu's wrist, who was already asleep.

Compared with Fang Mumu's family, Yuan Chengle's family is not so quiet.

Yuan Youliang, Lin Man, Yuan Yushuang and her husband, Yuan Yucong and his wife, and Yuan Chengle's family sat around the table, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn.

"Lele, do you want to stop thinking about this matter?" Yuan Youliang sighed and persuaded weakly.

"I've thought about it very clearly." Yuan Chengle looked directly at Yuan Youliang, his eyes were blazing, and his tone was firm, "In this life, I will not marry anyone except her." ”

"It's still a long life, let's look back." Lin Man pulled out an inappropriate smile forcefully, lifted the teapot in front of him, and poured some tea into his cup, the temperature of the tea had receded, leaving this dark yellow cold water, soothing the melancholy hearts with the sadness unique to autumn.

"I'll go and propose tomorrow." Yuan Chengle's gaze turned to Lin Man, "Whether you agree or not." ”

"What are you kidding..."

"Lele~" Lin Man quickly pressed his hand when Yuan Youliang didn't finish speaking, interrupting his words, she raised her eyes and looked at Yuan Chengle, "It's not that I'm feudal, it's not that I love face and can't pull my face." It's just that Mu Mu's girl's life should be like this, not something you can marry. ”

Yuan Chengle's face turned cold, and his originally polite tone became mean, "Why can't I marry?" ”

"She ......" Lin Man lowered her eyebrows with her mouth half-open, what she wanted to say was on her lips at the moment, but it was difficult to say as if she had encountered a barrier from thousands of mountains and rivers.

"Since my mother can't say why, then I'll get married, and tomorrow I'll go to buy a marriage gift..."

"Lele!" Lin Man interrupted Yuan Chengle's words.

From the time Yuan Chengle entered the door and asked everyone to get together and say that there was something to discuss, Lin Man chuckled in her heart, and she could think of who Yuan Chengle would open this mouth because of her toes. She held on and laughed until now, not for anything else, just for Yuan Chengle to be shaken and change in the slightest, but Yuan Chengle's attitude made her completely give up the hope of one thousandth.

"Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about her first marriage, she has only been widowed for a few days, and you hurriedly come to the door to propose, are you in a hurry to move the unfortunate ancestors?" Lin Man restrained her emotions and tried to make her tone sound calm, but her unusual tone, and instead holding Yuan Chengle's trembling hands, made her disguise exposed.

"It was her unblessed husband who died, not her." Yuan Chengle quickly broke free of his hand from Lin Man's hand, "She has been divorced, she is free, she has the qualifications to talk about marriage!" In this case, why bother with the length of time? ”

Yuan Chengle's aggressive momentum made Lin Man, who slowly raised his head and looked up at him, stunned, and she couldn't think of anything to respond to Yuan Chengle, who seemed to be stunned.

"Lele, dad and mom are not what you think, in our opinion, marriage is a big deal and needs to be considered in the long run." On the side, Yuan Yu's eyes saw Lin Man and Yuan Chengle blushing, and they were deadlocked, as the eldest of the children in the family, he hurriedly came out to mediate, "Besides, marriage is a matter for two families, not for you to decide alone." Since you want to marry Mu Mu, it must be beautiful, these are not decided overnight, so let's get here tonight, and we'll discuss it tomorrow. ”

Yuan Chengle listened to his sister's words, his original fierce momentum instantly fell, and the invisible thorns erected all over his body instantly showed fatigue, especially at this moment, what was in his mind was Fang Mumu's reaction during the day, he was not sure at all, if he didn't propose marriage in such a tough way, would Fang Mumu agree?

Looking at Yuan Chengle, who was a little dazzling in front of him, Lin Man felt that he might be able to take the opportunity to say a few more words at this time to loosen Yuan Chengle's determination to marry Fang Mumu.

Lin Man's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't have time to make any sound, because Yuan Yushuang didn't know when to move in front of her, holding her arms with both hands, and when she and Yuan Yushuang looked at each other, Yuan Yushuang's frowning serious face shook from side to side two or three times with the slight shaking of his head. Lin Man let out a long breath, and the words that he wanted to say next to his mouth finally swallowed into his stomach. She was thinking: maybe she was too anxious, and maybe things hadn't gotten out of control yet.

The whole room instantly fell into the abyss of silence, and the night became deeper and deeper, making the silence a little more helpless, Yuan Youliang coughed lightly, as if he wanted to break the suffocating silence.

"Ahem~ It's really not early this day, it's time to go back to the house to rest." When Yuan Youliang said this, although he was looking at everyone in the room back and forth, anyone could hear it, and he was obviously saying it to Yuan Chengle, who was in a fugue.

Yuan Chengle's inner entanglement came to an abrupt end because of Yuan Youliang's light cough and words, his body shook unconsciously, he supported his body with his hands on the table, and after standing still, his eyes mixed with dazedness looked around at everyone, and nodded his head slowly, as if affirming Yuan Youliang's words.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, thinking that the stalemate could finally be put aside, and the tense body also relaxed, leaning on the chair and lying on the sofa on the back, they all got up and rested after relaxing at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chengle's words made them sit up straight again and stretch their necks.

"I'll propose tomorrow." Yuan Chengle's voice was neither light nor heavy, as if he was saying something that was too ordinary to be ordinary, after the words fell, he didn't wait for anyone to respond, shook his thin body and left, behind him was Yuan Youliang's uncontrollable lament, it was Lin Man's gradual low sobbing, and it was the others who carefully whispered to appease.

The sky had just been dyed gray with fish belly white, Yuan Chengle woke up from a short sleepless sleep, without superfluous distractions, and got up directly to clean up, after all, for him, today is a busy and meaningful day.

After Yuan Chengle cleaned up, the red sun in the east knocked out a few holes in the sky, and sowed a dawn full of hope to the world through the holes, which was golden and red. Yuan Chengle had no time to appreciate the beauty of the sunrise in the countryside close to nature, and he silently muttered in his heart: May everything go well, and may Mumu become my wife.

"Do you want to go out so early?" Lin Man's voice sounded behind Yuan Chengle.

Yuan Chengle's body froze, and a trace of loss crossed his originally expectant heart, and the reason for the loss was not Lin Man's question, but Lin Man's tone of questioning, full of exhaustion and helplessness, as if he was powerlessly asking him: Do you want to go out and make trouble so early?

Yuan Chengle exhaled deeply, didn't turn around to look at Lin Man, nodded, didn't say anything, and left.

Lin Man's body had already fallen down for more than half a hundred, and Yuan Youliang on the side helped her up in time to prevent her from falling to the ground, her red and swollen eyes were eroded by tears again, and her lips trembled, "I've waited for ten years, I've been looking forward to it for ten years, but I still haven't been able to escape?" ”
