Although today's fragrant flowers have changed the "core", some memories of this body have been retained when she was a child, and she also knows it.

When Han Miaozhen was still there, Xianghua's days were actually quite good, the food was okay, at least there was no need to be hungry, although the clothes were not silk and satin, but they were also thick and warm, at least at first glance, it was a child that his father loved his mother.

"Those years were tough. Later, I also heard that she was originally a young lady from an official eunuch's family, where did she do farm work? But now she not only learned to do laundry and cook, but also worked in the fields with me, and took care of Xianghua at night, so tired that everyone lost a lot of weight, but she smiled a lot in those years. She also gave Xianghua the only thing she had brought out of the house. ”

Xianghua nodded, she took out the silver lock around her neck, and said, "This is the only thing my mother left." ”

The silver lock was simple and small, although it was old, but because it was carefully kept, it was even more silvery.

Cheng Linchang fell into the past, and the usually reserved and introverted person was filled with happiness from the inside out: "During that time, I thought about the future with your mother. We had just split up and had two houses, three plots of land, and this was the beginning. When your sister grows up, I'll go out and work again. I'm young, I'm strong, and after two or three years of hard work, I can renovate the house, and if I can afford to buy a piece of good land, it would be even better. ”

"I also wanted to buy your mother a pen and a stack of papers, she rarely told me about her family, but I often saw her in a daze, occasionally writing and drawing on the ground. I know she can write, and I also inquired about the price of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I thought, the house can be slowed down, and I bought paper and pen for your mother first. ”

Xiangmiao glanced at Donglin and Xianghua with a smile, and said exaggeratedly, "Look at our father, a big lover!" ”

Xianghua couldn't help but smile - that's right, his father is always down-to-earth and almost dull in front of them, everything is family-oriented, who would have thought that he would also be desperate and just want to warm another person with a sincere heart.

"When I wanted to go out to work, I found out that your mother was pregnant again. And this time I vomited more than before, and my belly was bigger, and the old people in the village said that it was a twin, and I couldn't rest assured that I would stay. Cheng Linchang's speed of speech began to slow down, "Your mother is weak, and she lost a lot of weight after she became pregnant with Donglin and Xiangmiao. I bought chicken and fish for her to eat, but she felt so fishy that she refused to eat it after a few bites. I thought that your mother hit her head before, and her blood was lost, and the twins may not be very stable, in case something happens, I can only ...... I can only protect your mother. ”

Cheng Linchang said this, and looked at Donglin and Xiangmiao with some guilt.

Xiang Miao said: "Dad, we understand. ”

Donglin also nodded.

When Cheng Linchang said this, his eyes were a little red, as if the past was in front of him.

"When she was almost two months old, she accidentally fell, and the doctor came to see it and said that it was not very good, saying that this fetus was unstable, and it was better not to. But your mother said that since she was born in her womb, she said that she had to try anything. In order to let the child grow up safely, your mother pinched her nose and drank a lot of fish soup and chicken soup, and finally survived to full-term, your mother was like a gourd, thin and small, but her belly was big. ”

Xianghua probably understood what Cheng Linchang was worried about, her mother's situation at that time was very likely to have a difficult birth, and it was more difficult than protecting the big and the small, and it was very likely that there would be two deaths.

Cheng Linchang wiped his face and said heavily: "Thank God, Donglin and Xiangmiao finally gave birth safely, but your mother was in pain for two nights, and when the child was born, she had no strength and blood flowed all over the bed......"

He choked up in his throat when he said this, and the tragic scene at that time was still vivid.

“…… Your mother is so good. Cheng Linchang eased up a little, and said with wet eyes, "I guarded your mother at night, for fear that your mother would not be able to hold on, so I went, but your mother survived in one breath...... By the time the moon is full, your mother will be able to walk around on the ground. ”

It seems that the story should be bright at this point, but Xianghua knows that the ghostly Wei Qi is already on the way.

"I said I was going to buy some paper and pens for your mother, and although she was very happy, she looked at Donglin and Xiangmiao, and asked me to change to buy cloth and make clothes for the two dolls. I really felt sorry for her, so I quietly bought paper and pen with the money I used to buy cloth. ”

Cheng Linchang said guiltily to Donglin and Xiangmiao, "I think that Xianghua's little clothes are still new, and when I have money in the future, I will quickly buy you fabrics to make new clothes, but your mother has just come back from the threshold of life and death, and I want to buy her some of the ones she likes." ”

Donglin nodded and said, "Dad, we all understand." You and your mother have done a great job. ”

Cheng Linchang smiled, and then said: "Back then, I went back with the paper and pen I bought in my arms, and I wanted to surprise your mother. found that you and Xiangmiao were crying, and Xianghua was only a little old at the time, and she was calling her mother at the door...... I looked around the front and back of the house, but I didn't see your mother. ”

Yes, at that time, Wei Qi threatened their lives and forcibly took Han Miaozhen away.

"Your grandmother has taken care of a few of you, I have been looking for your mother for a day, and I have searched the whole village inside and outside, and then I have searched even a few mountains, but I still haven't found your mother. Some people say that your mother can't stand the hard life, so she ran away with someone, and kept saying how luxurious the man was, but I didn't believe it at all, I knew that your mother was not that kind of person. ”

Donglin and Xiangmiao were both silent and listened intently. They have been curious about their mothers for so long, and the reasons for the chaos and abandonment that they have asked countless times have surfaced little by little.

"Later, it was Grandpa Tiezhu who couldn't stand it and said that your mother did follow a man, and he saw it with his own eyes when he was herding cattle. But your mother was reluctant at first, and she didn't know what the man said, so she reluctantly followed. Cheng Linchang smiled bitterly, "I know your mother has a hard time. Maybe the man was here to save her, and if so, I'd be fine. But now, it's like this......"

Cheng Linchang's emotional strings, which have been silent for many years, were gently twisted and wiped back today, and the big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate and played all over again, and finally couldn't hold back anymore at this time, hiding his face and crying.

Xianghua and Xiangmiao couldn't help but cry, Donglin turned his head to the side, and tears were already flooding his eyes.

For a moment there was no one in the room talking, only sobbing and silent sobbing.

After a while, Xianghua handed them a handkerchief and said softly: "Dad, don't worry, my mother has not been lonely all these years, her tablet has always been worshipped with incense, and every morning bell and dusk drum...... She's just not easy, and she can't let us go, let's take my mother home together. ”
