Chapter 318: A childhood sweetheart meets a bamboo horse
Mu Nianxue glanced at Ouyang Yiman, then looked up at Mu Niancheng, who had a cold face. He hesitated for a moment, took Ouyang Yiman's hand, walked to the dining table, and asked tentatively, "Brother, we
Play cards with you, okay?"
Mu Niancheng didn't even raise his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and the hand holding the card turned white. Two little girls, you looked at me, and I looked at you.
"Let's go, Manman. Let's play together. Brother doesn't play with girls." Mu Nianxue couldn't bear the coldness, so she reached out and took Ouyang Yiman's hand.
"Sister, how about we watch brother play cards?" Ouyang Yiman obviously didn't want to leave. He pulled her little hand pitifully and begged stubbornly.
"Okay." Mu Nianxue had no choice but to agree unhappily, climbed onto the stool of the high-backed chair, then lay on the table and looked at the card in Mu Niancheng's hand.
Ouyang Yiman spent a lot of effort to pull the stool to Mu Niancheng's side, then finally climbed onto the stool with all her strength, and happily stretched her little head to look at the card.
The card moved to one side, and Mu Niancheng's body moved away from her.
Ouyang Yiman unconsciously leaned forward.
Mu Niancheng frowned, lowered his eyes, and glanced sideways at her, his lips pursed unwillingly. The muscles on his face tensed up.
"Brother, what is this? What do the little figures on it mean? Do you recognize him?" She was not aware of his displeasure at all, stretched out her chubby little hand, pointed at the Water Margin characters on the card and asked.
"You don't understand. Don't ask." Mu Niancheng endured the impatience in his heart and said coldly.
"Okay, if my brother doesn't let me ask, I won't ask." Ouyang Yiman sat down obediently, folded her two little arms on the dining table upright, and looked at Mu Niancheng happily.
Her brother finally spoke to her. From last night to now, apart from the words he said when they first met, this was the second sentence Mu Niancheng said to her.
Her heart was filled with joy. Because of these words, even if she was allowed to sit quietly for a long time, she would not get annoyed.
"Manman, I'm really impressed by you." Mu Nianxue shook her head, slipped off the stool, went back to the room and took out a few books.
"Come on, Manman, let's read a book together. It's much better than those cards." She put the book in her hand in front of Ouyang Yiman and persuaded her.
"Okay, sister Xuexue."
Ouyang Yiman took the book and looked up at Mu Niancheng, who was concentrating and thinking quietly. A smile gradually appeared on her cute little face as she read the picture album.
"Brother, what do you pronounce this character?"
"Brother, why do you think this witch is jealous? What does jealousy mean?"
"Brother, how come Snow White's prince has so much magic power? Does everyone have a prince?"
…
Within a few minutes, Mu Niancheng got down from the stool anxiously, with cold eyes, and walked quickly to the bedroom.
"Brother, wait for me, you haven't answered my question yet, brother -" Ouyang Yi slipped off the stool in a hurry and almost fell. He didn't care to steady himself and ran towards Mu Nian City.
"You, stop." Mu Niancheng stopped, turned around and pointed at her coldly, and ordered, his face clouded, why is this girl so ignorant and always so annoying.
"Brother." The sweet voice is soft, like soft spring water. When it is heard in people's ears, it adds some softness for no reason.
"You are not allowed to follow me." He was as indifferent as the newly melted snow on the iceberg. Ouyang Yiman couldn't help but shudder. He timidly took a step back and nodded, "I listen to my brother."
After saying that, she looked at him eagerly. There was a layer of wetness in her big gray eyes.
Mu Niancheng's lips curled up, and he turned around and entered the bedroom.
The door was suddenly closed in front of Ouyang Yiman. Her little body was shaken and she lowered her head with a sad expression. "Manman, come on, let's play the string of pearls game together. My brother is such an arrogant man. He never
As someone who plays with girls, it’s extremely gracious to be able to talk to you.”
Mu Nianxue took a look, slid down from the stool, walked over, took her hand, and walked together to her room.
"Sister, what does mercy mean?" She raised her face, looked at Mu Nianxue, and asked doubtfully.
"Being merciful means being extra nice." Mu Nianxue rolled her eyes and replied casually, taking out the pearls from the box and placing them on the carpet.
Ouyang Yiman thought for a while, suddenly smiled, sat down and played happily.
When the day's trip was coming to an end, the Ouyang family had become good friends with the Mulengrui family. So when the Ouyang family left, Ouyang's mother said:
"Mr. Mu, Madam, you can come and stay at our house. Our house is in the manor. There are enough rooms for you to live there, and the two children can be company. If you have something to do when you go out, I can also take care of the children.
"
When Mu Lengrui heard this, he declined politely. He felt bad for troubling others with such a matter.
"Daddy, Mommy, I want to go with Manman. How about we go to Manman's house? Okay?" Mu Nianxue heard that she ran over and took the hands of Mu Lengrui and Dai Yuxiao, eagerly
begged.
"Auntie, don't you like Manman? You go to my house, okay? I will give my room to my sister, and I promise to be the best behaved. You go, okay?"
Ouyang Yiman glanced at Mu Niancheng, who was standing aside with a cold face, and took Dai Yuxiao's hand, pleading.
"Honey, seeing as the two children are so inseparable, why not just..." Dai Yuxiao was soft-hearted. To be honest, she really liked Ouyang Yiman.
"Mr. Ouyang, how about this? Are there any houses for rent or for sale near you? If so, we can rent or buy them so that the two families are not far apart and can come and go frequently."
Mu Lengrui pondered for a long time, nodded and said, he didn't like the feeling of being under someone else's roof.
"Oh, that's it. Let me think about it."
Ouyang's father lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "It's true. The neighbor next door has a house that he wants to rent out. It's been renovated and you can move in. If you think it's suitable, I'll call him and contact him.
.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Lengrui nodded in agreement.
After a few phone calls, everything was settled.
The Mu family temporarily became neighbors with the Ouyang family.
Naturally, Ouyang Yiman became a frequent visitor to the Mu family. She even slept with Mu Nianxue at night. She preferred to follow Mu Niancheng. Even if she just watched him play games quietly, she could
Waited quietly.
But every time Mu Niancheng raised his head and saw her, he always looked at her impatiently, turned around and left.
No matter what kind of emotion this glance came from, all her waiting made sense in an instant.
Dai Yuxiao saw this in her eyes. Seeing how this originally lively, cute, and gentle little girl had become so quiet and able to tolerate Mu Niancheng's indifferent temper, an idea suddenly came to her mind.
It would be a wonderful thing if Ouyang Yiman was raised as his daughter-in-law.
Once this idea came up, she would have different feelings every time she saw Ouyang Yiman, and gradually she began to care about this matter in her heart.
"Baby Manman, come and talk to auntie, okay?" On this day, when Ouyang Yiman came running happily again, she waved and called this tender little girl to her side.
"Hello, Auntie. Are you bored? I'll say hello to Chengcheng's brother, Xuexue, and then come over to talk to Auntie, okay?"
Ouyang Yiman stood beside her obediently, asked in a sweet voice, and looked at her with a pair of gray eyes blinking.
"Okay, Baby Manman is so sensible. Go ahead, Auntie is waiting for you." Dai Yuxiao nodded appreciatively, patted her back, and watched her happily knock on Mu Nianxue's door in Mu Nian City.
There was no movement inside the gate of Mu Nian City.
Mu Nianxue murmured in agreement, slowly opened the door and walked out.
"Manman, you got up so early! Mommy, I'm so tired, I want to go back to sleep." She looked at Dai Yuxiao sleepily and explained.
"Okay, Manman, come on. Sister Xuexue walked a lot yesterday, so she is very tired. She needs to continue to rest. Auntie will play with you." Dai Yuxiao came over, bent down and took Ouyang Yiman's little hand, and returned to the sofa.
.
Door, close it again.
Dai Yuxiao carried Ouyang Yiman to the sofa and looked at her carefully for a while. Between her brows, the little girl had regular facial features and a marked appearance. Although she had some baby fat, it was obvious that she was already a beautiful woman.
"Auntie, what are you looking at? Is Manman's face not clean?" Ouyang Yiman couldn't bear it under her scrutiny, so she raised her face and asked.
"No, no, Manman's little face is very beautiful. Auntie wants to ask Manman if you want to go to China with auntie, live with Sister Xue every day, go to school together and go home together."
Ouyang Yiman blinked her big eyes and thought for a moment, "Auntie, is brother Chengcheng coming too?"
"Yes, Brother Chengcheng will come too." Dai Yuxiao nodded quickly and assured.
"I think." Ouyang Yiman nodded affirmatively. She just wanted to follow Mu Niancheng. Wherever Mu Niancheng went, she would go. Even just seeing him, she felt inexplicably happy.
Dai Yuxiao nodded, thinking about it.
In terms of family background, the Ouyang family is just fair, which may not be the same as the Mu family.
But the Mu family does not need a daughter-in-law who is the icing on the cake. She hopes that Mu Niancheng can find a girl who tolerates him, loves him, and who he loves too.
She felt that Ouyang Yiman was the best candidate.
A few days before they were about to end their journey and leave, Dai Yuxiao found an opportunity to meet Ouyang's mother.
On this day, Dai Yuxiao invited Ouyang's family to a gathering at home. Mu Lengrui naturally chatted with Ouyang's father.
Three babies are playing on the grass in the back garden. Two mothers are sitting under a parasol.
Looking at the three children, Dai Yuxiao suddenly said, "The sight of these three children together always moves me. Seeing them, I feel that the world of children is really beautiful, and I like this child Manman."
Manman also seems to like Chengcheng very much. I have a suggestion, Ouyang’s mother, how about letting Manman be the daughter-in-law of our Mu family?"
Ouyang's mother was stunned and looked at Dai Yuxiao's expression carefully. She didn't look like she was joking. She looked at the three children.
Mu Niancheng was fiddling with a remote control plane at this time, preparing to simulate flying for a while.
Mu Nianxue took Ouyang Yiman's little hand and handed the doll in her hand to her, "Manman, let's play house together. You are the princess, I am the princess's sister, and this doll is our servant."
"Sister Xuexue, can we play airplane with brother Chengcheng?" Ouyang Yiman passively hugged the doll and asked hesitantly.
"It's an airplane. Brother doesn't let us touch the remote control. We just watch it fly. How boring."
Mu Nianxue looked at Ouyang Yiman in confusion. She didn't understand why Ouyang Yiman was interested in such boring things.
"No, sister, let's see how the plane flies?" Ouyang Yiman took Mu Nianxue's hand, and the two little girls walked to Mu Niancheng's side, looking at the plane in his hand with interest...
Ouyang's mother looked away, frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Chengcheng is a calm and calm kid, and we like him very much, but if you only love him for the rest of your life, I'm afraid it will be very tiring. The heart is tired of love.
"
The two were silent.
Dai Yuxiao thought to herself that Ouyang's mother's worries were justified. But this kind of love was what she hoped her son would get.
Many years later, Ouyang's mother has always regretted what she once said, because she turned out to be a prophecy and predicted Ouyang Yiman's life. If she had not said such a prophecy, Ouyang Yiman would have been
