Don't let her become the topic of conversation for others after dinner.
The more he behaves like this, the more she feels distressed.
Why should the innocent Qin Ningrui be trampled on like this?
Mu Mu didn't speak much along the way, and Aunt Liu's voice could only be heard in the carriage.
The only things they talk about are whose son has been promoted in the past two years, and whose daughter has married into which military commander's family as the granddaughter-in-law.
The security in the compound seems to be tighter than before, with more guards patrolling.
The car entered the compound and turned onto the path leading to Mu Mu's house.
The trees on both sides of the road were lush and green, and a gentle breeze blew through the branches, turning the leaves over and over again.
'Mumu, your father is back. If you don't come back for dinner quickly, you will be punished by standing still.'
‘…’
Mom always likes to stand at the door and call her when she comes back from Ning Rui's house.
The past seems like just yesterday, the picture is so clear.
When the car stopped in front of her house, Mu Mu saw the green courtyard in front of her house. She stretched out her hand to touch the car window, and the sunlight shone on her face through the gaps between her fingers.
She squinted her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Her black eyes were covered with a layer of transparent liquid. She slowly moved her hand downwards, and the kind mother wearing a green shirt and holding a vegetable basket disappeared in the green center.
"Mu Mu." Qin Ningrui unbuckled his seat belt and was not in a hurry to get out of the car. He looked at Mu Mu's back, reached out and patted her shoulder distressedly, "Get out of the car."
Wandering around, it feels like home only when she returns to the land where she was born and raised. Mu Mu lowered her head and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, nodded with a 'hmm', and then unbuckled her seat belt.
Aunt Liu went home and took the key to open the door of Mu Mu's house, and then opened all the doors and windows in the house for ventilation.
"No one has lived there for a long time, Mu Mu. It smells musty. Mu Mu, please go to my house and sit for a while. The place needs to be cleaned."
Aunt Liu stood in front of the window and shouted to Mu Mu.
"Why don't you go to Aunt Liu's house to rest for a while, and then go home after cleaning." Qin Ningrui was also worried that Mu Mu would not be able to stand the smell inside the house if it was not kept for a long time, so he agreed with Aunt Liu's opinion.
Mu Mu shook his head and walked straight to the door of his house.
When we arrived at the door, a musty smell hit our nostrils.
No one has been here for two years, and it happens to be the rainy season again. There is mold on the back of the sofa and in the cracks of the door.
When Mu Mu stepped into the door, he first looked at the two portraits hanging on the wall. His mother smiled gently and generously, and his serious father also had a smile on his lips if he looked carefully.
No one but her noticed it.
She walked under the portrait, then raised her head and stared at it quietly.
Mom and Dad, I'm back.
…
Although the house was dirty, the two of them cleaned it up quickly.
Mu Mu's washing machine and refrigerator were originally old-fashioned and had not been used for two years, and now they are no longer usable.
Aunt Liu took all the sofa covers, curtains, bedsheets, quilts, etc. that needed to be washed at Mu Mu's house and moved them to her own home for washing.
The wind was quite strong today, and the front and rear windows were open, so it was very ventilated. After two or three hours of blowing, the musty smell was basically gone in the house.
Mu Mu lay on the sofa covered with clean sheets and watched Qin Ningrui mopping the floor. With the natural wind, her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
In her sleep, she smelled the delicious smell of food, which made her stomach growl.
She turned over and prepared to continue sleeping.
