Chapter 5
This time it was Xu Wen’s turn to be dumbfounded, she squatted down to be level with Dongsheng and shook her head in rejection, “There’s only one mommy, you can’t call her indiscriminately oh! You call me mom, your own mom will be very sad”
Lu Yuanzheng folded back, habitually flexing his fingers to knock on the top of Dongsheng’s head, his fingers fell halfway down the road remembering Xu Man’s words, his hand flipped his index finger hooking Dongsheng’s collar and pulling it back, his tone of voice warning, “Don’t fool around!”
Dongsheng dead embraced Xu Man’s neck and refused to let go, before being knocked and kicked by Lu Yuanzheng did not take it seriously, now Lu Yuanzheng did not do anything, but he cried, “Oooh, I don’t have my own ma ma, you as my ma ma, okay? You have the flavor of Ma Ma on you”
Xu asked: “”
I’ve never been a mom in two lifetimes where can I get the smell of mama?
The little guy cried pitifully, Xu Man was at a loss for words, looked up at Lu Yuanzheng, his eyes asking for help
Lu Yuanzheng lowered his head and lowered his eyes to look at Dongsheng, the complexity of the complexity of the look, see Xu asked to look at him, to Xu asked to shake his head, mouth wordless: his mother is gone
Xu Man looked down at Dongsheng in his arms, his gaze compassionate
He was only three or four years old, so young, no mother?
He couldn’t help but raise his hand on Dongsheng’s back and gently pat and coax him
Really a poor child
Dongsheng flopped down in her arms and cried his heart out, the more he cried, the louder he cried
Xu Wen froze, she did not have experience with children, did not know how to coax, looked up towards Lu Yuanzheng for help, but saw that Lu Yuanzheng also seemed to be at a loss, as if he had never seen such a dongsheng, did not know how to deal with it for a moment
Lu Yuanzheng frowned and raised his hand to jerk a handful of hair at the back of his head, bent down and asked little Dongsheng: “Didn’t you say you wanted to eat roasted frogs? If you cry like this, the pheasants will be scared away”
Dongsheng instantly stopped crying, turned back from Xu Wen’s arms, and asked Lu Yuanzheng in a sob, “Didn’t you say there are only frogs in the rice paddies but no pheasants?”
On the way here, he said that he wanted to eat roasted pheasants, but Lu Yuanzheng said that the rice paddies here were different from the rice paddies in their place, and that there were only frogs and mangy fowls but no pheasants
Lu Yuanzheng sheepishly touched his nose and coughed lightly, “If you cry again, there won’t be any” Turning his face, he requested Xu Man, “Please help me bring him for a while, I’ll go catch a few field fowls to roast”
Xu Man opened his mouth and before he could speak, Lu Yuanzheng was already only a back
Xu Man: ???!!!
Did I agree?
This time, even if Xu Man’s three heads and six arms were not enough, not only to drive away mosquitoes and tickle himself, but also to drive away mosquitoes and tickle Dongsheng
When the road expedition back to the sky has been completely dark
In one hand, he was carrying the already processed and skewered chickens, in the other hand, he was holding a handful of green wild plants, and under his armpit, he was also holding a small bundle of dry tree branches
He placed the branches and green plants on the open space next to the water pit, and picked out a few of the green plants and handed them to Xu Man, “This is wild mint, you crumble it up and apply the juice to the places where the mosquitoes have bitten you and you’ll soon stop itching, it’s especially effective”
“Thanks” Xu Man hadn’t eaten many mint products in his past life, but it was really the first time he had seen a mint plant It couldn’t be said that it was the first time she had seen it, it could be found everywhere in the fields just that she didn’t know it was mint
She followed Lu Yuanzheng’s example and pulled a few mint leaves and crumbled them up, trying to apply them to the mosquito bites on her arm Then her eyes lit up, “Hey? It really works!”
Lu Yuanzheng was making a fire, and when he heard this, he looked up and saw Xu Man curiously studying the mint in his hands, his eyes brighter than the stars in the sky, and he couldn’t help but hook the corners of his lips, and an inexplicable pride arose in his heart
Xu Wen saw that Lu Yuanzheng was busy, pulled a few leaves and applied them to Dongsheng’s exposed skin before applying them to herself
I didn’t realize that Dongsheng, who had just stopped crying, skimmed his lips and cried again
Xu asked, “”
This child looks quite solid, was Lu Yuanzheng punched over and kicked over also did not see crying, this how also suddenly so sentimental it?
He cried at every turn
“What’s wrong with you?” Xu Wen had a bit of a headache, she really didn’t know how to coax a child
“Oooh, Ma Ma you you treat me so well”
Xu Man: ????
She twisted her head to look at Lu Yuanzheng
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Xu Man’s eyes could speak, plainly writing “How do you usually abuse your son? Giving the child pity like this”
Not knowing how to explain, Lu Yuanzheng squeezed out a sentence in the middle of the day, “You’re different from the lesbians we usually come into contact with”
Usually when he was busy at work, he would occasionally ask other female comrades in the unit to help take care of Dongsheng
They were very good to Dongsheng, but not the same as Xu Wen’s goodness
The other lesbians who were good to Dongsheng cared about such physical needs as whether Dongsheng was hungry or thirsty
Even Lu Yuanzheng himself was like that
Xu Wen is different, she will stand in Dongsheng’s position to think about the problem
Like he beat up Dongsheng, we all know that he is not really beat up, no one said anything, and even often people coaxed to tease Dongsheng: “Let you skin, and beaten up, right?”
But Mr Xu said it would be bad for the child’s physical and mental health
Other people talk to Dongsheng in the commanding tone of elders to juniors
Xu asked to talk to Dongsheng is the kind of equal conversation between adults, give is respect
As for mosquito bites, they were a common occurrence, and all the children and old people were very used to them, so no one would specialize in dealing with them
Lu Yuanzheng just see Xu ask so white skin by mosquito bites after a scratch a little shocking, looking for firewood by hand to get some mint to
Who knew that after she tried it, she would first apply it to Dongsheng
Dongsheng a little boy in the past how to have this kind of treatment?
Not to mention that Dongsheng will be touched, he looked a little envious of Dongsheng
Lu Yuanzheng used a kerosene lamp to ignite the firewood and took a handful of green mugwort leaves to ignite the smothering smoke to drive away mosquitoes
Mint leaves grow in the field, are wild mosquito repellent good thing
Xu Wen consciously led Dongsheng to the place where the smoke from the mugwort leaves enveloped his eyes, but would not smoke his eyes
Finally free from mosquito bites, Xu Man breathed a sigh of relief and complimented Lu Yuanzheng, who was roasting field chickens, “You’re awesome! You know everything”
“I’ve experienced a lot” Lu Yuanzheng said lightly, naturally handing the skewers of field chickens to Xu Man, “Hold this for me”
Xu Man took it, and saw Lu Yuanzheng pull out two paper packets from his pants pocket, opened one of them, and pinched a bit of white crystals to evenly sprinkle on the field chicken
Xu Man: “”
Surprisingly, someone came to the field to catch moths, and even brought salt with them?
Is this ready for a barbecue at any time?
Xu Man’s eyes couldn’t hide anything
Lu Yuanzheng, who saw her thoughts clearly, “”
Without waiting for him to say anything, Little Dongsheng grabbed the credit for him, “My dad’s grilled field chicken is delicious! His grilled fish and shrimp and oysters are all delicious!”
Lu Yuanzheng: ” “No, there’s no need to explain
I guess in Xu Wen’s eyes, he was a glutton
As soon as Xu Wen arrived at the head of the field, he saw the scene of this young man and woman talking and laughing, piercing his eyes
Then he remembered Xu Man’s sudden withdrawal from school to make a fuss about getting married, as well as Zhu Meizhen’s constant recitation of the words about whether Xu Man had been cheated by someone
An epiphany: no wonder Ask, who was afraid of the dark, took the initiative to come to the field to catch moths! So it was to date this man?
It must be this kid who abducted Ask!
Xu Wen rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, and without saying a word, swung his fist at Lu Yuanzheng
Lu Yuanzheng steadily held the Tianji skewer in one hand and raised one hand
“Brother?!” Xu Man exclaimed
Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Xu Man, withdrew his raised hand and quickly shoved the chicken into Xu Man’s hand, receiving a solid punch from Xu Wen
Xu Wen: “”
She looked down at the roasted chicken in her hand and suspiciously looked at Lu Yuanzheng
Can still be so swimming to give her Tianji why don’t you dodge it?
Xu Wen punched one punch not relieved, and wanted to punch another, Xu Man quickly stopped him, “Brother, stop!”
Little Dongsheng jumped onto Lu Yuanzheng to protect him and glared at Xu Wen, “Don’t hit my father!”
Xu Wen became even more furious, pointing at Lu Yuanzheng and yelling, “You have a child and you’re still here to lie to my sister?!”
Xu Wen was busy pulling Little Dongsheng to the side, standing himself in the middle to separate the two
“Brother! Don’t be impulsive It’s not what you think” Turning his head again to look at Lu Yuanzheng, who had just gotten up from the ground and patted the dirt on his body, he asked, “Why aren’t you hiding?”
Lu Yuanzheng wiped his thumb on the corner of his mouth that was broken by his teeth, “I owe you”
No matter what, it was a fact that she had her innocence damaged yesterday
Even if one hand could have countered Xu Wen, he still took this hit
Xu Wen: “”
If you don’t know how to speak, say less, how much does this make people misunderstand?
Sure enough, once Xu Wen heard these words, he was directly angry to the point of trembling, his fists clenched and cackling, glaring at Xu Man: “He’s bullying you so much you’re still defending him?” He forcefully broke away from Xu Man’s hand and lunged towards Lu Yuanzheng
Lu Yuanzheng pulled Dongsheng behind his back with one hand, frowning slightly, torn between fighting back and not fighting back
Just a touch, one punch isn’t enough? How about, endure another punch?
Xu Man stomped his foot and shouted, ”Brother! He’s the one who saved my life”
Xu Wen’s fist stopped in front of Lu Yuanzheng’s face
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t even blink in the face of Xu Wen’s fist in front of his eyes, and his gaze fell straight onto Xu Man’s face
Before this girl still open-eyed blindness are not willing to mention yesterday’s events, this moment how to take the initiative to admit it?
Xu Wen turned around, not quite believing it, “What life-saver? What do you need him to save?”
Xu Wen sighed softly, “I was herding sheep yesterday morning, and almost drowned when I accidentally fell into the water, he saved me”
Xu Wen frowned
Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes showed surprise, why did she lie?
“Really” Xu Wen emphasized
Xu Wen’s suspicious eyes looked back and forth between Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng, half believing, half doubting, asking, “Such a big deal, why didn’t you tell your family yesterday? If he really saved you, our Xu family isn’t a family that doesn’t know how to be courteous, so how can we not thank him with a generous gift? Besides, he saved you yesterday, why are you eating and drinking here today?”
Xu asked, “”
This is a good question
Usually, Second Brother looked naive, but I didn’t expect his brain to react so quickly
A mother was born with the same child, she also had two lifetimes, even less, blinking especially innocent: “Yesterday my birthday, sister-in-law and just said the pregnancy, I do not want to talk about this bad thing to make my parents worry I would like to go back tonight to say, you do not give me the opportunity to do so?”
Xu Wen: “” my fault?
Lu Yuanzheng took the initiative to open his mouth to answer the latter question, he pointed to the puddle at the north end, “I’m here to take over my uncle’s shift for a while”
Xu Wen was still unconvinced and said in a conspiratorial manner, “That’s quite a coincidence!”
His sister fell into the water while herding sheep in the cemetery, and he happened to save her
His sister came to the field once in a while to catch the moths, and he came to take over the shift?
There are so many moth trapping spots in the rice field, but they are right next to each other?
Lu Yuanzheng rubbed the tip of his nose, what could he say about such a coincidence?
Xu Wen looked at the roasted chicken in Xu Man’s hand, smelled the minty odor on her, and looked at the smoldering mugwort leaves on the ground
None of these were definitely made by Xu Man himself
A man who took such good care of a young girl and said he had nothing else in mind?
Anyway, as a man himself, he didn’t believe it
Seeing that his second brother’s misunderstanding was getting worse, Xu Man was just about to open his mouth when he was stopped by Xu Wen: ”Don’t speak on his behalf again! We’ll settle the score when we get back” Raising his hand, he pointed at Lu Yuanzheng, “You’re a big old man, you can’t keep letting ask speak for you, can you? I ask and you answer, talking nonsense ”
He paused and thought of a threat that he thought was awesome, “Lying will wind up pissing wet shoes”
Xu asked, ” What curse is this?”
Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Man, hesitating slightly or nodding
Dongsheng blinked, scratched his head with his small hand, tugged on the hem of Xu Man’s shirt, and asked her, “Ma Ma, why do I often wet my shoes even if I don’t lie? Is it because of the tailwind?”
Xu Wen: “”
Hastily reached out to cover Dongsheng’s mouth
Xu Wen heard this address that she jumped into the Yellow River can not be washed
