When Wu You heard the voice from the gate, the expression on his face was blank.He couldn't remember how long he hadn't heard this voice.Before meeting Big Brother Jin and Mr. Ying, during those worst days, he would dream of this voice almost every few days.But now, he hasn't dreamed of this voice for a long time.

Probably, since the time I met Brother Jin and Mr. Ying, I haven't dreamed of her for almost two months.

Wu You didn't know how to describe his current mood, he was a little excited, but at the same time couldn't help being fearful and cowardly.He wanted to not respond to that voice, but the mother's call outside came one after another, making it impossible for him to ignore it.

Jin Shan couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw the cub he had raised for almost two months. He looked at the pile of delicacies on the table, and received them all into his system with a wave of his hand. in the space.

When Wu You turned her head and looked at him at a loss, she smiled: "You can't explain these things to that person, so let's have something ordinary."

Then there was a bowl of egg noodles, a small bowl of stewed pork and a bowl of pickles on the table.Compared with the table full of delicacies just now, it looks extremely shabby.

Wu You pursed her lips. He opened his mouth to say something, but Ying Sheng kicked his ass: "If you let him shout, the people around will be called out by her. Go and open the door. What are you afraid of?" ?”

Wu You seemed relieved after being kicked. He looked at Jinshan and Yingsheng again, and then mustered up the courage to open the door of the house and the courtyard with some eagerness.

Zhou Xiaohui, who was outside the yard, patted the door but gradually sank down. She couldn't help but wonder why her son didn't open the door for her until now. Is it because he wasn't home and went to eat at his uncle's or sister-in-law's house, or... he Don't you want to open the door for your own mother?

If it's the former, should she go to the uncle's house to take a look?But she really didn't want to see that selfish family.If it's the latter, Zhou Xiaohui gritted her teeth lightly. She also had reasons for leaving. Those debtors are really pressing too hard. If she doesn't run away, she doesn't know how she will be rubbed.It was her useless husband who made the mistake, so why should she bear the pain?

and……

Moreover, at that time, it was good for her to have someone who was willing to give her shelter and take care of her. Compared with the two, a fool would know how to choose, right?

Just as Zhou Xiaohui was thinking this way, the courtyard door in front of her creaked and was opened.The moment she saw her son, Zhou Xiaohui was very happy. She even stepped forward and hugged her child with both hands: "Youyou! Youyou! It's great that you are fine! Mom has been worrying about you for more than a month! "

Wu You was fascinated by his mother's warm embrace for a moment, but when he heard Zhou Xiaohui's last words, his heart felt uncomfortable.He actually didn't want to talk like this, but he couldn't help but said, "Then why didn't you come back earlier?"

Zhou Xiaohui froze for a moment, let go of her son in her arms, and looked at him with some puzzlement and doubts: "What?"

Wu You pursed his lips, the feelings of grievance, resentment and resentment that were about to dissipate in the past two months or were tightly pressed in his heart broke out inexplicably when facing himself, the closest person. come out.

He opened his mouth again, looked at his mother and said, "Since you are worried about something happening to me, why didn't you come back earlier? Why didn't you accompany me? Are you not afraid of something happening to me if you leave me alone at home? "

Zhou Xiaohui was speechless.

She was at a loss and embarrassed for a moment, never expecting her son to ask such a question directly.But at the same time, she also felt wronged that her wronged son would talk to her like this, completely ignoring her helplessness and suffering.

Zhou Xiaohui's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Youyou, are you blaming mom?"

Wu You gritted his teeth and didn't speak. He just looked into his mother's eyes quietly. Brother Jin told him that eyes are the windows that can best reveal a person's true thoughts, and no one can hide them.

The sad expression on Zhou Xiaohui's face became heavier, and at the same time, it also brought grievances and some blame.

"Youyou, you can't blame mom. Mom was also forced to do nothing. At that time, the people in the Zhang family were so crazy that they chased us to lose money, but how could our family have any money? I was the only daughter in the family. Yes, how can I fight against them alone! They are too scary, too scary, so mother can only run away."

The cold wind of the twelfth lunar month was blowing, and suddenly roared at this time.The biting wind hit Wu You's face, making his already expressionless face even colder.It's just that the trembling and choking voice he spoke revealed his extremely unstable mood at this time.

"Then grandma and I are not afraid? Grandma got mad at the end, you know? If you are afraid of people from the Zhang family, after grandma dies, people from the Zhang family won't bother us anymore. Why don't you How about coming back? Why didn't you attend grandma's funeral?"

Zhou Xiaohui was embarrassed and a little annoyed by her son's successive questions.

She couldn't understand why her son became what he is now, let alone why he could treat her so coldly when she came back to visit him at this time.She is his mother!

And Wu You also couldn't understand his mother's thoughts.He just quietly looked at the aggrieved and accusing person, and felt that the delicious food he ate just now seemed to have turned into something bloated and greasy, making his stomach feel like vomiting.

Jin Shan and Ying Sheng stood quietly behind the mother and son at this time, Jin Shan's always smiling face showed a very rare disgust and disgusting look, 【What kind of eyes does this woman look at Wu You?She still feels wronged?She's already pregnant with someone else's cub, so she's still ashamed to come and see her own son? 】

【What does she want to see? ] Jin Shan sneered: [Do you want to see his son's excited and happy expression when he sees her, or see her moved to tears? 】

[I didn’t take my son with me when I ran away, but I put all the gossip and pressure on a child when I could come back, and I didn’t come back until things gradually improved? !The fuck is this trying to pick Lao Tzu's peaches? !I really want to kick her into the ice river. 】

Ying Sheng glanced at the man who rarely got angry, and said calmly: [Aren't there many such people, they are just selfish and greedy.You should have a number of means to be able to fix them. 】

Jin Shan was disgusting, and at the same time, he glared at Ying Sheng: 【You violent trash want me to make mistakes so you can squeeze me out, don't you?The mastermind clearly stipulates that the system cannot attack ordinary people at will, so what do you do? !Moreover, although I have seen many selfish and greedy people, this woman is the mother of Wu You, who I raised, which makes me especially uncomfortable. 】

Ying Sheng looked at Jin Shan's expression and wanted to say something more, when Zhou Xiaohui started talking again.

Because her son did not show the excitement and enthusiasm she imagined, Zhou Xiaohui's heart also cooled down, but now she can't leave, she looked at the empty yard and the old house that hadn't changed at all, she still stretched out her hand to hold him Wu You's hand: "It's too cold outside, worry, let's go inside and talk. No matter what happened before, aren't you already well now? Let's not talk about the past. Mom brought you a good The food you ate, you must not have eaten well at home by yourself? Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's have a reunion dinner together!"

Wu You looked down at his mother's hand holding his hand, and found that his mother's hand was softer than his own.He has been exercising hard and making pickles every day for almost two months, and the skin on his hands has also become rougher, and because he needs to practice knife skills, there are still some small, incomplete fingers on his fingers. Healed cuts.But his mother's hand seemed to be better than before she left home.

Wu You pursed her lips.

He stepped on the snowflakes on the ground and thought, how can he ignore the previous things?

If he doesn't explain what happened before, doesn't give an explanation to his dead grandma, and doesn't give an explanation to himself who was once angry, painful and even desperate, he will have to face the abandonment of this family, and he will also add a lot of money to this anger, pain and despair. Mother?How could he accept her back without any grievances?

Even if he longs for a gentle mother and a strong father in his heart, even if he longs for a happy family in his heart, it is impossible for him to forget everything.

Because the pain in the past was really too painful.

It's not something that can be taken away by a sentence of "previous love".

When Zhou Xiaohui dragged Wu You into the house, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw the old furniture that had hardly changed.

She subconsciously said, "Youyou, haven't you added new furniture to your house? Didn't you make money selling pickles?"

Wu You's footsteps stopped instantly.He felt his stomach hurt even more, and subconsciously turned his head to look for the two figures who had been behind him.

But behind him was air.

Cold sweat instantly covered his back and forehead, and Wu You subconsciously said, "Jin,"

Then, the extremely flustered boy heard a sigh, and was finally held down by a slender big hand on his head.

It was only when he felt that gentle touch that the boy put his heart into practice.

[Brother Jin, I just thought you and Mr. Ying had left. 】

【You won't leave, right?Didn't you say you would stay with me for a long time? 】

Wu You asked eagerly in his mind, and he didn't even hear Zhou Xiaohui's voice calling him.

Jin Shan looked at the restless child and rubbed his head. 【rest assured.won't leave.We won't leave at least until we're sure you're happy. 】

Ying Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said in a voice that Wu You couldn't hear. [The task only requires the counterattack to be successful, and does not need to determine whether the host is happy. 】

The implication is that you are doing too much.

As a result, Jin Shan gave him a middle finger: [You are a cold-blooded and violent trash who only knows about missions and doesn't care about cubs!The gap between you and me is the gap between beasts and humans. I really don’t know how you brought the host to the present! 】

And the big brother Ying who was murdered by the beast: [...] I also want to know, how did you, who is like taking care of the host and raising cubs, how did you not get killed by the mission until now!

Jin Shan didn't care about Ying Sheng's knife-like eyes, and slapped Wu You on the back of the head: [Go and confront your wolf-hearted mother!I have been teaching you for almost two months, can you not cope with such a trivial matter?What are you talking about? Behind you is Lao Tzu and that violent trash. There is no one better than me in this world. What are you talking about? 】

Wu You was slapped, which dispelled his heaviness and hesitation, and also showed his spirit and combat effectiveness.

When Zhou Xiaohui called him again, he looked up at her: "Huh? Mom... what's the matter?"

Zhou Xiaohui looked at her son suspiciously, always feeling that in the two months since she left, her son had changed, becoming strange and...indifferent to her.She felt uncomfortable and didn't understand why her son had changed after she had been away for such a short time.

Still, she decided to forgive her son who had become cold.

"I brought you a roast chicken, your favorite braised pork ribs I made, and dumplings stuffed with pork and celery stuffed by me. Mom will heat it up on the steamer, and you will be able to eat it in a while." I ate."

Wu You watched her mother take out roast chicken steak and dumplings from the backpack she was carrying, and her first reaction was not to be happy that her mother brought him so many delicious foods, but to ask directly: "How do you get these things?" Where did you do it? Where have you been all these days, Mom?"

Zhou Xiaohui's hands trembled, but soon she stroked the hair around her ear, and said with a stiff smile: "Mom went to hide at a friend's house, you don't have to worry. I can take care of myself."

Wu You nodded.He didn't ask who that friend was again.

After that, Zhou Xiaohui went to the kitchen to warm up the dishes, and she naturally saw several jars of pickled vegetables neatly arranged in the kitchen.There was a look of joy in her eyes.After the dishes were steamed and brought to the table by Zhou Xiaohui, Zhou Xiaohui sat at the table and served Wu You very attentively.Wu You ate the dumplings and chicken legs she gave him, looked up at his mother who gave him food, and ate in silence.At least, she is sincere at this time.

Zhou Xiaohui felt a little sour when she watched Wu You eat with a big mouthful.She knew that her son must have suffered during these times, and she could also guess how the people in the village would treat the son of a murderer. Her sorrow must have been very miserable.She is also distressed.However, she is a woman, and she has no way to change this.Compared with Wu You who will suffer some hardships, she, a foreigner who married into the village, will definitely face more accusations and difficulties, so she can only leave.If she didn't leave, she would be forced to death and scolded to death by these people, she couldn't bear it.And worry...

Youyou is from this village, and he is still a child. Those people will definitely not do too much to him.So worry can stay.She has to go.

If she ran away with Youyou, the Zhang family would chase after them, and the person who received her would not be happy either.

Therefore, worry can only stay.

Zhou Xiaohui repeated her reasons again in her heart, so that she could face her son's gaze with peace of mind.And, say the following.

Zhou Xiaohui took a stick of radish with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. She tasted it carefully, and it really had a sweet and sour taste with a little spicy taste.It is delicious and can be eaten by both adults and children.

She put down her chopsticks and looked at Wu You.

"Youyou. Did you pickle these radish strips yourself? It's really delicious."

Wu You stopped chewing the ribs and nodded.Answer according to what Brother Jin taught him: "Well, fortunately, it is delicious. Otherwise, I have no income and can only go to the street to pick up bottles."

Zhou Xiaohui paused. "That's really hard work for you. But now that mom is back, you don't need to make these radish sticks in the future, just leave them to mom. Mom will do it."

Wu You looked at the somewhat similar eyes of his mother and aunt at this time, and lowered his head.

"Oh... After that, my mother will live at home? I know, I will prepare the ingredients every day. Mom, you can cut radish strips and marinate them at home."

This is obviously not the answer Zhou Xiaohui wanted, and her tone was a little eager: "No, no, it's very troublesome for you to mix the ingredients. You can just tell me the recipe. Don't worry, mom will definitely not put Fang Zi told the others."

Then, Wu worriedly raised his head.The boy's eyes looked straight at his mother, and Zhou Xiaohui felt a little guilty to look away from the sharp light in those eyes, but she gritted her teeth and looked at Wu You soon.

"Sorrow..."

"Do you live at home?" Wu You didn't answer her, but insisted on asking this question.

Zhou Xiaohui gritted her teeth, and she shook her head with some difficulty: "No. Mom can't come back. People in this village are prejudiced against my mother, worry, if I live here, they will definitely speak ill and point at me every day Yes! Mom can’t stand this, mom can’t live here. But you can rest assured! Mom will definitely come back to see you often! And mom will give you monthly living expenses in the future, will, "

Before Zhou Xiaohui finished speaking, she was interrupted by Wu You's indifferent voice.

"You can't stand this. Can I?"

Zhou Xiaohui was stunned.She saw her son's eyes were cold and even filled with resentment.

"What you can't bear is what I have to endure every day for these two months."

"You couldn't take it anymore, you ran away. But you left me here to take this."

"Mom." Wu You looked at the woman in front of her, who seemed to have become very strange after two months of disappearance, and said the last words indifferently and calmly: "If you can't bear this, you shouldn't force yourself to come back. Like you miss me terribly and care about me."

"And, I won't give the pickle recipe to anyone."

"That's not my pickle recipe. That's my life."

Zhou Xiaohui's face turned pale and embarrassed in an instant.
