Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 163 Dad. Dad

On Saturday, the family went to the farm with Guan Xiaoyun.

On the way, Liu Xiaonan told Meng Xiangxiang and Guan Xiaoyun while driving: "Wu Yanli and the child have adapted to the life there, and their emotions have stabilized. After meeting, you two should control your emotions and talk more about happy things. Don't make her sad again."

Guan Xiaoyun said: "My master was such a happy person before, I can't even imagine how miserable she is now."

Meng Xiangxiang said to the two children: "When you arrive at the farm in a while, you two will see an older brother. That older brother is slightly different from the two of you. He can't talk or walk. You two can't say that your brother is sick, let alone laugh at him. Brother. You two should play with him, love him, sing and tell stories to him, and make him happy."

Qimeng asked her mother, "Why doesn't brother walk and talk?"

Meng Xiangxiang said: "It's not that my brother doesn't want to walk and talk, it's because of a serious illness that has taken away the ability of my brother to walk and talk. This kind of disease, we human beings are still unable to overcome and defeat it. So, you two should bring it to my brother. hapiness."

Qiyu said: "I will give the Transformers to my brother."

Qimeng rolled her bright eyes. She felt that it was inappropriate to give her dolls to her brother. After thinking for a while, she said, "Mom, when I grow up, I want to be a doctor and fight against those hateful diseases."

Meng Xiangxiang encouraged and said: "Good job, Mengmeng will definitely become an angel in white when she grows up."

Liu Xiaonan looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Mengmeng, didn't you promise Dad that you would be an engineer of human souls?"

Qi Meng said: "Let my brother be an engineer, and now I want to be a doctor, so that my brother can walk and talk."

Qiyu retorted: "I am not an engineer, I want to build big ships and warships. Dad took us to the military port. Those warships and submarines are so big and mighty. Dad said that our country does not have aircraft carriers yet. When I grow up, I want to build aircraft carriers."

Liu Xiaonan said: "If you have time, Dad will buy you a model of an aircraft carrier. Boys must make a big career."

Qimeng protested: "My father is partial, and I want to do a great job."

Liu Xiaonan hurriedly corrected herself and said, "Father is not biased. What Dad meant is that the division of labor is different for boys and girls, and it is a big cause."

When they arrived at the farm, Wu Yanli was basking in the sun in front of the building with her son in her arms.Guan Xiaoyun got out of the car first, called master, hugged the child in Wu Yanli's arms, and then introduced Meng Xiangxiang: "Meng Xiangxiang, she is our sister-in-law."

Meng Xiangxiang stepped forward to shake hands with Wu Yanli and said, "Our sisters met, at Xiaoyun's wedding."

Wu Yanli said: "I remember, you were still a college student at that time."

Guan Xiaoyun said to Wu Yanli: "In terms of age, she is younger than both of us, but we both have to call her sister-in-law."

Meng Xiangxiang said, "You don't need to be called sister-in-law, I didn't force you. We are all sisters, so let's call each other by name."

Wu Yanli said to Liu Xiaonan who got out of the car afterwards: "Everyone has gone up the mountain to pick cherries, let me wait for you here."

Liu Xiaonan said, "My two children are also going to work, so let's go together."

Wu Yanli rolled out the wheelchair and put Wen Tian in.Qiyu gave the Transformers to Wentian, and pushed the wheelchair with his father, while Qimeng was bouncing and singing beside him, which made Wentian giggle.The three women followed behind talking and laughing.

Qiyu said to Liu Xiaonan: "Father, it's good that Brother Wentian is a Transformer."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Brother Wentian is a little angel just like you. However, Brother Wentian has a pair of invisible wings."

Qimeng whispered to Liu Xiaonan: "Father, I want to be a doctor when I grow up, and I must let brother Wentian fly."

Liu Xiaonan said, "Okay, your dream will definitely come true."

At the foot of the mountain, Qiyu Qimeng ran up the mountain.Liu Xiaonan picked up Wen Tian with one hand and the wheelchair with the other, and ran up the mountain behind the two children.Qiyu Qimeng shouted to his father to cheer, and Wentian in Liu Xiaonan's arms also kept laughing.

Guan Xiaoyun said to Wu Yanli: "When I lived in their house, I knew that Xiaonan liked children very much and could play with them like a child. He liked children but didn't spoil them. Let the children dress, fold, wash and wash the dishes by themselves." Clean up the room and let the children learn how to make dumplings and roll dough. There are many practices of the couple, which are worth learning from."

Wu Yanli said: "As long as he has time, he will play with my son for a while and teach my son to use the TV remote control. I am not as patient as I am. He really taught my son. Now I can find cartoons to watch. .I thought he was pitying my son."

Meng Xiangxiang asked Guan Xiaoyun: "Do you remember when you were in junior high school, a girl in your class threw herself into a well? Do you remember her name?"

Guan Xiaoyun said: "If you don't mention it, I will almost forget it. There is such a girl whose name I can't remember. What's wrong?"

Meng Xiangxiang said: "Xiao Nan remembers the girl's name, and every detail of what happened. At that time, you ran behind that girl, and you were the one who protected her first."

Guan Xiaoyun thought for a while and said, "It seems to be like this."

Meng Xiangxiang said to Wu Yanli: "Xiaonan is a compassionate person. He doesn't sympathize with you mother and son. He just doesn't see suffering. I was able to finish college smoothly because Xiaonan sponsored me. I'm afraid You don't know. So, don't have any burdens, I can understand."

Guan Xiaoyun said in surprise: "So that's how it is. You hid it deeply enough. No wonder my uncle and aunt insisted on letting you be their daughter-in-law."

Meng Xiangxiang said to Guan Xiaoyun: "Actually, I am very grateful to your grandfather. It is the stone tablet left by your grandfather and the story with my grandmother that nourished Xiaonan's life and feelings. He told me that he The purpose of contracting this farm is to make it an ideal home full of love."

Guan Xiaoyun said to Wu Yanli without hesitation: "Master, we both passed by Xiaonan, and we can't blame others. Xiaonan and I have grown up, and no one has seen it so thoroughly. She can be our sister-in-law. , not without reason."

Wu Yanli just smiled, what can she say?She asked Guan Xiaoyun: "When will you go abroad?"

Guan Xiaoyun said: "There is still more than a month."

After several years of cultivation, the big cherries have gradually entered the full fruit period.On the terraced fields on the hillside, against the background of green leaves, the ripe big cherries are bright red and yellow pleasing to the eye.The three women also joined the picking crowd, packing the picked cherries into cartons, and the scent of fruit and laughter wafted from the hillside.

While taking care of the three children, Liu Xiaonan called the customers who had agreed in advance to allocate the supply of big cherries.After a busy day, the large early-maturing cherries are basically sold out.

After dinner, Liu Xiaonan hugged Wen Tian and walked along the bay with three women and two children.Walking to the edge of the reservoir, Qiyu remembered and asked, "Dad, when will we have cicada pupae? It tastes so delicious."

"We have to wait until after Lixia." Liu Xiaonan replied, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and asked Qiyu Qimeng: "The cicada is crying again, do you two know why?"

Qiyu Qimeng shook his head at the same time and said he didn't know.

"There is a story here." Liu Xiaonan said while thinking, "There is an insect school in the forest. Cicada is a first-grade pupil. He doesn't listen carefully in class, sleeps and talks nonsense. The woodpecker teacher criticizes Cicada for not being humble. Said it knew everything and didn’t need to learn. When the woodpecker teacher really asked the cicada to answer the question, the cicada asked three questions and didn’t know anything. The woodpecker teacher said angrily, don’t you know everything? Don’t be called a cicada in the future , I’ll change your name to Zhizhi. You know, Zhizhi, the insects are called Shunkou, and Zhizhi is called Zhizhi. Since then, Zhizhi’s name has become famous all over the world.”

Qimeng said happily: "Dad, the story you told is so interesting. There is also such a child in the big class of our kindergarten. He doesn't listen to the lectures in class, and the teacher criticizes a few words and cries like a girl."

Qiyu questioned: "Dad, is the story you told true?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "This is a story made up by my father. I want to tell you that there are many things in the world, there are many areas that we don't know, and there are many unsolved mysteries waiting for you to explore. He wants to build warships and aircraft carriers. If you want to be a doctor in your dream, you need to learn continuously from an early age, accumulating knowledge bit by bit, including taking you to participate in labor. Your elder brother Wentian is also learning, he has been able to recognize the numbers on the remote control, and can use the remote control , What an amazing progress, isn't it, Wentian?"

Hearing Liu Xiaonan's praise, Wen Tian happily stroked Liu Xiaonan's cheek with his clumsy left hand, opened and closed his small mouth, and suddenly uttered a syllable.Although not very clear, Liu Xiaonan could really hear it.

He encouraged: "Wentian, say it again, say it again."

Wen Tian closed his small mouth tightly, and opened it suddenly: "Dad!" - a monosyllabic syllable, like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the shady scene.

Liu Xiaonan continued to encourage, and demonstrated with her mouth: "You say so, Dad, Dad."

"Dad." It's not very coherent, the interval is very long, and it can only be said to be repeated.But it was very clear, enough to express Wen Tian's own meaning.

Liu Xiaonan excitedly shouted to the front: "You three come here quickly."

The three women who were walking in front heard Liu Xiaonan shouting abnormally, ran back together and asked what happened.

Liu Xiaonan restrained her excitement, and said to Wen Tian, ​​"Wen Tian, ​​in front of your mother and aunt, please call again."

Wen Tian also realized that his pronunciation ability could attract the attention of adults, so he wriggled excitedly in Liu Xiaonan's arms, wrapped his left hand around Liu Xiaonan's neck, and shouted: "Dad."

Shi Potian was shocked, and the three women were stunned. Wu Yanli immediately burst into tears.Liu Xiaonan said to Wen Tian: "Wen Tian, ​​keep shouting, keep shouting."

He was worried that if Wen Tian stopped shouting, he would lose his hard-won ability to make this sound.

"Dad." "Dad." "Dad." Wen Tian yelled three times in a row, and he had already mastered the technique of making this single sound.

Wu Yanli was sobbing, sobbing, "This is the first word a child will say."

Meng Xiangxiang and Guan Xiaoyun comforted Wu Yanli from left to right, and the child spoke, which was a great joy.

Liu Xiaonan hoped that the miracle would happen again. He pointed to Wu Yanli and said to Wentian, "Wentian, I am not your father, you should learn to call yourself mother. Come on, learn from uncle, you say mother, mother."

Wen Tian opened his mouth, but could only make a "woo woo" sound, his little face was blushing, but he still couldn't make the sound "Mom".He burst into tears, suddenly stretched out his left hand, and kept patting Liu Xiaonan's head, shouting eagerly: "Father."

Wu Yanli hurriedly hugged Wentian and said, "Wentian, you're disobedient again, how can you hit your uncle?"

Wen Tian was crying in Wu Yanli's arms, seemed unwilling to let his mother hug her, beat and kicked her body, stretched out her left hand tenaciously towards Liu Xiaonan, and cried, "Father."

Women who have been mothers understand what Wen Tian wants to express, and they can say the monophonic "Dad" to make people happy, but with a clear direction, it makes people in a dilemma.

Wu Yanli coaxed her son with tears, her heart was pierced.When the biological father was alive, he wouldn't call him father. When the biological father was gone, Wen Tian would call him father. He found a father for himself.But... how is this possible?
Guan Xiaoyun looked at Liu Xiaonan, looked at Meng Xiangxiang, holding back all the words she wanted to say; Meng Xiangxiang pulled a pair of children in front of her, this scene surprised her and made her feel at a loss, she didn't know what to do Dealing with this kind of thing, he observed Liu Xiaonan's expression unnaturally.

Liu Xiaonan also understood and understood, although he couldn't bear it, he couldn't agree.Turning around and leaving was the best solution, but he couldn't move.He looked at Meng Xiangxiang with a guilty face, and faced everyone with embarrassment. He wanted to smile and cry in his heart.

For a day, Qiyu and Qimeng have been yelling for Dad, and Wentian must be silently following along.In his not very sound mind, he definitely hopes that he can have a father who loves him like Qiyu Qimeng.

The biological father is gone, maybe there is not even a vague impression.These days, he is the only man who is the closest to him, and he can call him daddy, but who else can he call him daddy?

Wen Tian was still crying, and the cry of "Dad" was heartbreaking.

Qi Meng gently pulled Wu Yanli's skirt, and called out, "Auntie."

Wu Yanli crouched in front of Qimeng holding Wentian.Qimeng discussed with Wentian and said: "Brother Wentian, don't cry. I will lend you my father, and when you can say "mother", then return my father to me, okay?"

Wen Tian agreed with an "ahh".

Qiyu said to Wentian: "Brother Wentian, we are men, we must keep our word and we cannot go back on our word."

Wen Tian still agreed with "ahh".

In front of innocent children, all the thoughts of adults seem stingy.Meng Xiangxiang said to Liu Xiaonan with tears in his eyes, "Promise the child, let the child have more sunshine in his heart."

Liu Xiaonan nodded, reached out to hug Wentian from Wu Yanli's arms, and said to him loudly, "Wentian, please call me Dad again."

"Father!" Wen Tian smiled through tears, lying on Liu Xiaonan's shoulder.

Liu Xiaonan knelt down and said to her two children, "Come on, ride on Dad's shoulders."

Qiyu Qimeng, one on each side, straddled his father's shoulders, holding his head.Liu Xiaonan stood up slowly, with a child in her arms and two children on her shoulders, walking steadily.The three children laughed happily on him.

The three women followed, sad and relieved.
