Outside the bamboo fence, when Lin Huang saw the woman, his whole body froze.
The woman was sitting on a lounge chair enjoying the shade, wearing a simple green dress. She didn't look very noble or gorgeous, but she gave people a gentle and demure feeling from the inside out.
No makeup was applied, but she didn't feel like a mountain village woman at all. She was more like a fairy who had returned to peace and ordinaryness.
Even in the mountains and fields, there is an air of dustiness.
There is also a baby in the woman's arms, pink and tender, giggling, and its fleshy little hands stretch out the swaddling clothes, as if wanting to grab the woman's teasing fingers.
Looking at the happy appearance of the baby in her arms, the woman had a smile on her face. She leaned down and pressed her forehead against the baby's forehead, teasing her lovingly.
Lin Huang's heart was suddenly filled with sadness.
He looked stunned.
For some reason, when he saw the woman for the first time, Lin Huang felt a different kind of emotion in his heart. It seemed like grievance, like sourness, like happiness, like exhilaration...
All kinds of thoughts came to my mind at once, and it was difficult to explain.
When he saw the smile on the woman's face and affectionately teasing the baby in her arms, he felt extremely warm. It was as if in that moment, Lin Huang's fatigue from years of struggle was swept away.
Mother.
The two words that were pressing in my heart were finally overturned like a flood at this moment, hovering in Lin Huang's heart, heavy and warm.
Aggrieved and warm.
Sad and warm.
It's just...very warm!
I finally saw my mother, even if it was only in a fantasy world. But the woman's every frown, smile, and eyebrow were all so clear, right before my eyes.
Outside the courtyard, Lin Huang looked at it and started to giggle. Except for the hint of stupidity, the smile on the woman's face seemed to be carved from the same mold.
At this moment, the door of the hut suddenly opened.
A little girl less than three or two years old climbed over the chest-high threshold, staggered out of the hut, ran to the woman, held the corner of her clothes, and blinked with a pair of big watery eyes, which looked very pitiful.
said:
"Mom... I'm hungry!"
The woman raised her head and looked at the little girl who had been out of her sight for only a quarter of an hour. She was covered in dirty clothes and her braids were about to fall apart. She immediately glared at her in a fake way, but then looked at the little girl pitifully.
She looked embarrassed, couldn't help feeling distressed, reached out and patted the dust on the little girl's clothes, and tied the little girl's pigtails again.
"Xiao Xue'er, wait a minute, daddy will prepare it soon, and we can eat in a little while!"
"oh!"
The little girl shouted crisply and nodded at the same time.
Then the woman turned her head again and looked at the hut. Her expression was no longer so gentle, and she looked more like a delicate woman. The gentleness in her voice was reduced a lot, or even a lot. Lin Huang started to scream after hearing this.
Got a shiver.
"Lin Changtian..."
A woman can fall out of favor faster than turning over a book.
"Hey...Okay, okay, I'll be fine soon!"
The woman's voice responded immediately. There was a hint of flattery in the smoothness, which was completely spineless and completely embarrassing to the man.
Lin Huang looked up and saw a man in an apron appearing at the door of the thatched hut. He was about thirty years old. He looked quite handsome, and he was not too romantic in a small mountain village.
He was wearing an apron, his face was covered with pot ashes, and half of his eyebrows were burned by the fire.
How could a good grown man become such a loser?
Looking at the man who appeared at the door, the woman was angry and funny. She just felt a headache. She finally wanted to take a rest, but the result was even more troublesome.
The woman had no choice but to put the baby into the cradle beside her and told the little girl, "Xiao Xue'er, help mother take care of your brother. Mother will cook for you!"
The little girl nodded fiercely.
The woman stood up, took the apron from the man, glared at the man angrily, and entered the kitchen.
The man, recalling the charm of that glance, chuckled and felt like he couldn't stand up straight.
After the man was liberated, he finally stretched out, touched the little girl's head, and then stretched out his hand to tease the baby in the cradle, "Xiao Xue'er, take good care of your brother. If you obey, daddy will catch a dragon for you.
Play!"
After that, the man walked through the courtyard, passing by Lin Huang, and walked to the foot of a willow tree.
Then the man secretly looked at the hut through the willow tree. After confirming that the woman's figure would not appear for a while, he squatted numbly under the tree and dug out a big hole with his hands.
There is a jar of wine in the pit!
At this moment, the man's spirit obviously improved a lot. He rubbed his hands impatiently, picked up the old wine and drank a few sips. Then he sat down under the willow tree and let out a long sigh of relief after thinking about it.
Life is pleasant, but that’s it!
"Wow……"
The baby in the courtyard suddenly cried. The man was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground. He thought that something was wrong. As soon as he heard the cry, his wife would come out to see him. If he saw him slipping away, he would not even think about getting into the bed tonight.
Already.
Then, the man appeared in the courtyard like a whirlwind, squatting beside the cradle with concern, pretending to be at a loss, and patiently comforting the baby.
But babies are amazing. Apart from eating, sleeping, laughing, and pooping, they also cry.
Practice makes perfect in this kind of craft work, and once you get used to it, you won't be like men at all, your legs will be wide open and you will cry even louder.
Next to the cradle, the little girl was laughing, secretly throwing away the caterpillar in her hand, and making faces at the baby in the cradle, with a hint of cunning in her cuteness.
Sure enough, the woman left the hut in a blink of an eye.
The man's heart trembled. He looked at the woman approaching and immediately picked up the baby in the cradle. He seemed to be moving around to comfort the baby, but in fact he distanced himself from the woman.
"Who the hell invented this thing called wine, so you can't make some that don't smell like wine? What will happen if my wife finds out that I've been drinking secretly?"
The man was filled with anxiety and fear.
"Hey...I think about the time when my daughter-in-law and her son traveled around the world disguised as men. The two of them hit it off instantly. They drank so passionately that the gods in the world would be blown away by the cowhide that Lin Changtian stepped on. How could he fall in love after living in seclusion?
Is there a ban on alcohol?”
"Not happy, not happy!"
The man was very worried. At this moment, he just hoped that his wife would put down her worries and go back to cooking.
Before eating, I have to deal with the evidence of drinking on my body!
"Mom...Dad just stole wine and drank!"
The little girl in the courtyard suddenly said with an innocent look.
The man's face suddenly fell...
The woman also raised her head and looked at Lin Changtian. The smile on her lips really made the man shudder coldly.
"Yeah...this time I fell into the hands of two little ancestors!"
The baby in the man's arms suddenly giggled...it was so sweet!
