The room was so quiet that even the wind could be heard. The child's cry suddenly sounded. The tranquility was like throwing a rock like water, which made me tremble for a moment. I suddenly felt completely at a loss. After a while, I gently stretched out my hand to stroke her back and said, "Li'er, don't cry, I'm here...?"

This simple sentence was obviously not enough to coax her. As soon as I finished speaking, she cried even louder.

"I don't, I don't, I want my dad, I want my dad!"

"Li'er..."

"I want dad!"

Her voice was very loud, and her whole little face turned red, as if it was the same when she suddenly knew that I was her mother and thought I was an ugly guy. But this time she cried even harder, and even struggled in my arms. I could hardly hold her with all my strength.

"Li'er, don't cry." I hugged her tightly, and I was so anxious that I could only say softly: "We live here, Dad is in the original place, but it's not far away. If you miss Dad, we can go to his place in a short time."

"I don't! I don't--!"

She couldn't listen at all and cried out loud: "I want my dad, I don't want this place, I don't want it!"

She struggled so hard that I could no longer hold her, so I could only put her down carefully. As soon as she stood firm, she immediately turned around and ran out of the house. I could only hurriedly chase her out, chased her into the yard and grabbed her hand, and explained gently: "Li'er, is it okay to listen to my mother's words? There is nothing bad here. Haven't you said it? As long as you are with my mother, you are willing to live in bad places."

Now that I think about it, it was my first time as a mother, and I had no experience at all, and I really took the words of my children seriously. They said they were willing, maybe it was just that there was nothing that made them dissatisfied at that time, so they liked it because they didn't make them dislike at that time. But once there was a little change, all the words before, I took them seriously, would be overthrown.

She couldn't listen at all. I grabbed her hands and tried to control her, but the child actually waved his arms and started hitting her randomly. I was hit on her chest and shoulders several times. Although she was a child, it hurt to hit someone like this. When I was still trying to persuade her with a smile, she suddenly slapped me in the face.

With a "pop", the scorching pain made me froze.

My face suddenly sank.

I never knew that my cute daughter had such a bad temper, and even once she was angry, she would not care about anything and listen to anything.

A burst of anger surged up, and I felt my whole mind swelling. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her over, grabbed her two little arms and said sternly: "Li'er, what are you doing?"

She was stunned.

Maybe she had never seen me angry before. Her crying choked, she looked at me with wide horror, and I sternly said, "Who taught you, who taught you this way, will even dare to beat my mother?!"

She was frightened and stared at me in a daze, not daring to speak, her lips trembling.

I was trembling too. I don’t know if it was because of my temper just now or because of something else, my hand holding her was shaking and I couldn’t even catch her.

Li'er suddenly said, "You are not my mother!"

“…!”

She pushed me away all of a sudden, and I was pushed and staggered, almost falling to the ground, and could only reach out and support the ground.

Gu Ping, who had been standing next to him, threw down his bag at this time and hurriedly walked up: "Aunt Qing!"

I had a pale face and couldn't speak for a moment.

Li'er still had tears on her face, and she looked at me angrily: "I don't want a mother like you!"

After saying that, she pushed me hard again. This time I couldn't hold on and fell to the ground in a mess.

Gu Ping next to him also showed anger on his face and said loudly: "What are you doing?!"

Li'er looked at me, then looked at him, and suddenly burst into tears again.

While crying, tears rolled down like beads with broken threads. She turned around and walked out, pulled open the yard gate, and stumbled while walking, crying: "I don't want...I don't want...I don't want...I want dad, I don't want mother!"

"Li'er..."

I still wanted to call her, but my voice was completely dumb.

Gu Ping hurriedly reached out to pull me, but saw that I had completely lost my mind, and my whole body was as cold as ice. He saw that the front was getting further and further away from the other side, so he simply put me down and chased after me quickly.

And I fell to the ground, looking at the courtyard where I was quiet and quiet, but I was empty and I was left with my sobs, and tears were surging wildly for a moment.

That night, there was no tears, and at this moment, the dam broke.

The hot tears fell across my cheeks like a knife. When they dripped on my hands, each one made me tremble.

I don’t know what I was crying, but I couldn’t stop my tears. I lost all my strength and couldn’t even cry. Only tears kept pouring out.

I wanted to wipe my tears so that I would not cry so miserable, but when I raised my hand, I saw the palm of my palm was blood red. It was just pushed to the ground by Li'er, and my palm was worn by rough sand and stones. It felt like a needle pricking, and my face was filled with the scorching pain of my daughter's blow. The pain kept pricking it in my heart.

I reached out to cover my eyes, and more and more hot tears fell down. The pain in my palms became more and more intense, making me cry more and more violently. Tears mixed with blood flowed down my fingers. My low whimpering sound seemed particularly depressing, mournful and sad, and it seemed like there was no end.

.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally stopped my tears, but my eyes were almost gone, and I could feel my eyes swollen and my palms were still hurting, but at this time I didn’t care about so much, and I stood up slowly on the ground.

Li Er...

Just now Gu Ping chased her up, so she shouldn't have been lost, but-

I endured the pain in my heart and the soreness of my legs and feet, and stumbled out.

Li'er...Li'er...

This place is not far from the river. Not long after walking, I saw the river beach in front. My eyes were still blurred, and I vaguely saw two figures, one big and one small, sitting on the river beach. It was Gu Ping and Li'er.

However, Li'er seemed to have stopped crying. The two of them were quietly sitting. I don't know how long they had been sitting. Gu Ping turned his head from time to time and seemed to be talking to her. From a distance, he seemed to have a little red eyes when he saw Gu Ping.

I stopped for a moment.

After a while, Li'er pointed his little head. I saw a smile on Gu Ping's face, then stood up and picked up Li'er, turned around and walked back.

As soon as I turned around, I saw me standing behind them.

There were still tears on Li'er's face. When he saw me suddenly, his eyes turned red again. Gu Ping whispered something in her ear. The girl lowered her head and finally nodded for a while. Gu Ping put her down.

She walked in front of me step by step.

I hurriedly squatted down, looking at her with a little cowardly expression, as if she was frightened. But when she raised her head to look at me and looked at the small redness on my face, she gently reached out to touch her and said, "Mom... I'm sorry."

“…”

"Li'er shouldn't beat her mother, Li'er is wrong."

“…”

My eyes, which had already dried up, immediately burst into tears again, and I hugged her into my arms: "Lier."

"mother……"

"Li'er, it's because of my mother's bad, it's because of my mother's bad." I hugged her small body tightly and choked and said, "Mom shouldn't be cruel to you, it's because of my mother's bad."

"Woooooo..." She didn't say anything, but just cried. I knew she was wronged. Tears flowed silently and dripped onto her clothes, making a large area faint. I said softly: "Li'er, don't leave her mother, okay?"

She started crying, but this time she cried particularly aggrievedly, but she was also very gentle, holding her little hands around my neck: "Mom..."

.

When Li'er and I finally calmed down our emotions and returned home peacefully, it was already noon.

I was so hungry that I was rumbled. Fortunately, I brought some snacks when I came, and the house was cleaned so clean. I directly held Li'er and sat on a stool, put the snacks out for her to eat, and went to boil water by myself.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Ping had almost sorted out the things we brought. He entered the military camp and seemed to be very skilled in tidying up housework. The things were placed in an orderly manner. Then he went to the yard to help me chop a lot of firewood. When I boiled water and made tea, he was already sweating profusely.

I poured Li'er a cup of tea and asked her to eat it slowly, then took another cup of tea and some snacks to Gu Ping.

He took the teacup and said respectfully: "Thank you Aunt Qing."

"I want to thank you."

"..." He looked at me, smiled silly, and didn't say anything.

I also laughed. I really want to thank him. Although I didn't ask him how he persuaded his son to change his mind, I think that a person like him who has lost his mother and has such a painful experience can infect anyone with his heart.

I turned around and looked at the yard, then looked at the open room, adding some things, and it seemed to add some popularity. It was not as empty as before, and it made people feel empty when I looked at it.

I smiled slightly and heard footsteps coming from outside.

When I turned around, it was Yun Xiang and Gou Er.

When I saw Yunxiang, I was naturally very happy, but when I saw the protruding head, I seemed to be Gou Er. I recalled that he went to Yangzhou Prefecture to sue me for money. Although he accidentally saved my life, I really disgusted this person's character, so I also frowned.

Yunxiang had already walked to the gate of the yard, looked at me and was slightly stunned, and said softly: "Qingying?"

"Yu Xiang, you are here."

"Well, I heard from my mother and the others that you moved back."

I smiled. As soon as I walked over, Gou Er had already come forward and smiled with a shy face, "Sister-in-law, why are you back? You didn't say anything in advance. We can help you pick it up."

I didn't say anything, but Gu Ping behind me walked forward: "It's you, I went to Yangzhou Prefecture to file a lawsuit before!"

When Gou Er heard this, his face turned pale. Although Gu Ping was not old, the people who entered the military camp naturally had a mighty aura, which made him dare not raise his head. In addition, Pei Yuanxiu's attitude towards me that night, I was afraid that he knew that I had a "big backer" behind me, so no wonder he was so flattering.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame me, I'm confused for a while. You know, our lives are not easy, and we see such a big bounty..."

The more he said, the ugly the Yuxiang's face became.

I know that she must be ashamed to marry such a husband, but she is already a family. No matter how hard this man can't stand up to the wall, she can only accept her fate and said with a slight sob: "Qingying, don't blame him."

I didn't say anything.

But Gu Ping next to him saw me handing him a wink and then took a step forward. Gou Er was so scared that he stepped back again. He staggered and almost fell down, and said tremblingly: "Give me aside!"

Gu Ping said fiercely: "I'm not sure whether to forgive me or not. Let me tell you, Aunt Qing will live here in the future, and our Nanjun people will come to visit her every once in a while. You'd better be good!"

When I listened, my heart skipped a beat and turned my head to look at him.

People from the Southern Army will come to see me every once in a while?
