Chapter 31: Mother's Nagging (1)
Lan Xinrui ran straight home and sat on a bamboo stool at the door of the main room, and the whole person became a tearful person.
When Li Liangdong and Li Chunsheng... When more than a dozen people appeared in front of her, she smiled faintly: "I'm fine, I'm just too excited." ”
Li Liangdong breathed a sigh of relief: "You almost scared me to death." ”
"I really didn't expect that everyone would greet me with such heavy etiquette. I can't stand it! Lan Xinrui said emotionally.
Bai Lihong raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister Lan, do you know what our peach blossom people call you?" ”
"What? What can I be? Like you, I'm an ordinary person. ”
"You are too modest, we peach blossom people all respect you as a living bodhisattva who saves suffering, a goddess, and a fairy."
Li Chunsheng glanced at her, and was about to speak, when he received a call from Deputy County Magistrate Yu. As soon as the phone hung up, Li Chunsheng said to everyone: "Let's go, let Mr. Lan have a good rest." ”
"Go ahead, I'll stay with Sister Lan to chat." Bai Lihong moved over a chair and tried to sit down.
Li Chunsheng grabbed her arm and pulled her away. Bai Lihong resisted: "If you want to go, you go first, I want to sit with Sister Lan for a while." ”
"No, you didn't see that Sister Lan was very weak and couldn't stand the toss. Besides, this is an order from the deputy county magistrate. Li Chunsheng dragged Bai Lihong away vigorously.
Soon, tranquility was restored inside and outside the home.
"Come, take a sip and let off the cold." Li Liangdong handed over a cup of hot tea just delivered by a neighbor.
Lan Xinrui took a sip gently: "The tea of our peach blossoms is delicious, sweet, comfortable and refreshing." ”
"Needless to say, otherwise, why would you marry Peach Blossom."
"I'm marrying you, not a peach blossom."
"You married me at the beginning, but later after you became a cadre, you remarried Peach Blossom."
"What nonsense are you talking about, I only marry you in this life, life is your person, death is your ghost."
"I mean, since you became the general manager and village party secretary, you only have peach blossoms in your heart, and you have been running around for peach blossoms all day long, and you have already put me and my son behind!"
Lan Xinrui listened, and her heart ached. She stared at Li Liangdong, and the topic changed: "I haven't seen our son for so long, I miss him strangely, let's take a moment and go and bring my son back, by the way, take a look at my mother, one old with one young, it's not easy." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I've already arranged it!"
"Fool me, huh?"
"Who fooled you, early this morning, I secretly called my mother and told her that we can go back to Peach Blossom this morning. She was very happy to hear this, and said that she would come with her son in the morning. ”
"You didn't tell her the truth about me!"
"How dare I, I'm afraid that her old man won't be able to stand it for a while."
As he was talking, there was a chaotic and shredded sound of footsteps outside.
Lan Xinrui listened carefully and smiled: "It must be my mother and son who have arrived." ”
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Lan Mu walked into the house with her ass upside down and an iron face, followed by Bai Lihong, who was holding Dong'er.
"Dong'er, quick, call Mom." Bai Lihong teased Dong'er while pointing at Lan Xinrui and calling Dong'er Mom.
"Dong'er, don't scream, there's no one like her." Lan Mu shook the fat on her face, and she had an unforgiving posture.
"Mom, you're a... Who you off? Lan Xinrui asked softly.
"Who else? your son my baby daughter! The Blue Mother glared at her.
"Me?" Lan Xinrui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Mom, don't tease me, haven't you always praised me for being your gas dissipator?" Besides, you are my mother, I wish you were happy every day, how can I be willing to make you angry, Mom, you have wronged me! ”
At this time, Li Liangdong pulled over a stool and handed over a cup of hot tea: "Mom, please sit down and drink tea." ”
As soon as Lan Mu's ass sat down, she took the tea angrily and took a sip: "This tea is delicious, but it is difficult to get rid of it." ”
Li Liangdong asked softly: "Mom, is Dong'er not obedient and makes you angry?" ”
"Dong'er is very well-behaved, but you and Xinrui are not well-behaved, you guys joined forces to lie to me, saying that going abroad for investigation and study is all lying nonsense." Lan Mu looked directly at Li Liangdong, her teeth chattering, "Let me ask you, if Xin Rui is really beaten to death, will you tell me that Xin Rui has done an excellent job and has been favored by the President of the United States, leaving her to work in Washington and never coming back?" ”
Lan Xinrui sneered: "Mom, you are just teasing when you talk." ”
Li Liangdong originally felt ashamed, and when he heard Lan Mu say this, he lowered his head, kept rubbing his hands, and said: "When Xinrui just had an accident, I was stunned, and I couldn't think of it so much, and then I wanted to tell you, but Xinrui didn't let her, she was afraid that you would be sad and couldn't stand it." But I'm afraid that you'll be suspicious after a long time, so I'll..."
"So, you've made up a big lie. It hurts me to be rejoicing in your departure when Xinrui is most painful. You're ripping my heart with a knife. ”
Lan Xinrui was very calm, her round and slightly emaciated face was rippling with a sweet smile, and her tearful eyes watched her mother's every move. In fact, from her mother's expression when she first entered the house, she knew that Bai Lihong had told her mother everything about her situation.
"Li Hong, give me Dong'er quickly, don't get tired and hurt your body." Lan Xinrui slowly stood up from the chair, stretched out her arms, and hugged Dong'er, "Yo, Dong'er is so good, Dong'er has gained weight." ”
"Mom, grandma said, you and Dad went far, far away, I thought you didn't want me anymore!" Dong'er, who has always been silent, suddenly burst out with a sentence, which made Lan Xinrui's heart like a knife, tears flowing, she hugged Dong'er tightly, and kissed him on his round little face, "Dong'er, you are your mother's heart, how can your mother be reluctant to want you!" ”
Li Liangdong hurriedly took Dong'er from Lan Xinrui's hand.
Bai Lihong stood awkwardly, squeaky and wanted to speak, but still didn't say it.
Lan Xinrui knew what was on her mind, and whispered to her: "Li Hong, I know what you have to say, I don't blame you for this, don't take it to heart." Actually, if you don't tell my mother, I will tell her today that I can't lie to her for the rest of my life. The reason why I hid it from her before was because I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it, but now that I'm fine, I should tell her the truth. ”
Bai Lihong still felt quite guilty in her heart, she shook her head, and an unnatural smile appeared on her face: "Sister Lan, your family is rarely reunited, so I won't mix it and go back!" After speaking, he beckoned to Lan Mu, kissed Dong'er lightly on the face, and turned around to walk out.
As soon as Bai Lihong left, Lan Mu nagged again: "Lihong is a good person, a very capable woman, you can't blame her." During this time, she rode her bicycle to our house every three or five years, brought some delicious food to Dong'er every time, and helped me do a lot of gravity work. She also guarded your business before and refused to say anything, but just now she met at the entrance of the village, and she told me the truth about you. ”
Lan Xinrui said: "It's too late for me to thank her, how can I blame her, but my mother just blamed a good person." ”
"You mean Liangdong?"
"Yes, if it weren't for his careful care this time, I would have recovered so quickly."
Lan Mu raised her head and glanced at Li Liangdong, who was standing on the side: "Alas, Xinrui, how do you tell me to say hello, are you too out-of-sight when you say this, who is Liangdong, he is your husband." You suffer such a great sin that he does not take care of you who takes care of you. Besides, my wife was beaten, is my husband not responsible, at least he can be convicted of a 'breach of responsibility for protection', I didn't pursue him, even if I have a lot of adults, do you still want me to thank him? There are no doors. ”
Li Liangdong was said to be blushing and thick-necked, although he felt wronged in his heart and wanted to plead a few words, but Lan Xinrui's two sharp gazes like thorns stopped him.
"Mom, my affairs have nothing to do with Liangdong, and Liangdong was not by my side at that time, how can you protect me? Even if he was around me, he couldn't protect me, because I volunteered. ”
Lan Mu smiled contemptuously: "You really know how to tell jokes, and people still volunteer to find a fight?" ”
"It's not voluntary, it's a last resort. If I hadn't stepped forward at that time, the deputy county magistrate would have been in danger. ”
Lan Mu thought thoughtfully: "According to what you say, you are still a great hero who acts bravely?" ”
Lan Xinrui smiled faintly: "In the eyes of others, yes, but I don't think so." ”
Lan Mu sighed and complained: "Maybe in the eyes of others, your actions are righteous, but in my eyes, your actions are unfilial. I only have a daughter like you, and I still expect you to give me a pension, if anything happens to you, then can I still live? Do I still have the value to live? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about our Lan family and Dong'er. Xinrui, don't complain about your mother's selfishness, sometimes, a mother's selfishness towards her children cannot be changed. ”
Lan Xinrui listened quietly and stared silently. Finally, she couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart, knelt between her mother's legs, and fell into her mother's arms: "Mom, please forgive your daughter's unfilial piety!" ”
Lan Mu stroked her oily black and messy hair, and sour tears rolled in her deep-set eyes: "Live well, only by living well, can you lead the villagers of Peach Blossom Village to create a rich, happy, harmonious and beautiful peach blossom." ”
Lan Xinrui held back tears and bowed her head deeply.
After another long sigh, Lan Mu got up, picked up the broom, and cleaned and cleaned the dusty, simple and simple home with Li Liangdong.
