Chapter 62 The Sense of Fate and Belonging

Bai Mumu nodded. She didn't know how long Pang Guimei had been guarding her here, and she blamed herself slightly.

"Just wake up." With a smile on her face, Pang Guimei stood up and opened the lid of the thermos from the table: "I don't know when you will wake up, so let the people in the cafeteria fill the porridge into the thermos."

Bai Mumu heard the sound of porcelain bowls colliding, so she poked her head to look, and just bumped into Pang Guimei and turned her head: "Can I get you a big bowl?"

Her tone sounded like she was comforting a sick student, Bai Mumu nodded and smiled at her.

Vegetable and meat porridge, a little thin salt, when Pang Guimei handed it to her, it was still steaming, and Bai Mumu scraped the porridge with a spoon and sipped it.

She couldn't eat half of it, and wanted to find a place to put a bowl of rice. When she looked up, she found that Pang Guimei had been staring at her. She suddenly felt like she was caught doing something wrong.

The enthusiasm that subsided a little came back to her face, startling Pang Guimei.

She raised her hand and touched Bai Mumu's forehead: "Isn't it burning again? I'll take another medicine later."

Bai Mumu shook her head, looking at her with moist eyes: "No, it's just that the porridge is not finished..."

Pang Guimei said "Oops" and took the bowl from her hand: "Don't worry, it won't be wasted anyway."

Bai Mumu suddenly thought of the little piglets raised by the wall.

The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a spinning thread. Bai Mumu had been lying on the bed for two days and his body was still not fully recovered. His throat still seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and his voice was humming.

Two or three days later, Pang Guimei went to the dormitory to find her on a quiet night: "Mr. Bai, are you interested in going out with me?"

Bai Mumu readily agreed.

The two walked round and round the playground.

"Mr. Bai, I heard something about you from Uncle Li. If you-"

Before Pang Guimei finished speaking, Bai Mumu said anxiously: "Mr. Pang, I never thought of leaving my job, so don't fire me. It was just a special situation at that time. If I didn't say that, my mother..."

The Jiangshui Middle School at night has a different kind of beauty, the dim lights, and the white mist rising from the ground seem to cover the moonlight with a layer of tulle.

Pang Guimei chuckled: "Where did you go?"

She looked into Bai Mumu's eyes in the hazy moonlit night: "What I want to say is that I can give you a vacation and let Teacher Bai take care of personal affairs first."

"Jiangshui High School always welcomes you."

Pang Guimei's words brought tears to Bai Mumu's eyes. She can readily accept the evil that others give her, but she is afraid that she will not be able to bear the little good that others give her.

In the past, she always thought that this world was too cruel to her, from Lin Luning to Bai Song, and then to Xie Wan.

But there has never been a moment like this one, when she thanked herself for never giving up.

"Thank you, Teacher Pang." Bai Mumu's voice was choked with sobs.

……

Three days later, under the coordination of Pang Guimei, Bai Mumu bought a ticket to go home.

Although she didn't stay in Jiangshui Township for a long time, she felt that she had lived for a long time. The land under her feet seemed to have taken root in her heart, giving her a sense of destiny and belonging.

It is still a small eDonkey, and the person carrying her is still Pang Guimei.

Bai Mumu sat behind her and yelled: "Mr. Pang, when you come back next time, teach me how to ride a little electric donkey."

"Okay!" Pang Guimei responded loudly: "When you come back, the weather will be colder. If you wear thick clothes, you won't be afraid even if you fall!"

Bai Mumu hid behind Pang Guimei, pursed her lips and snickered.

It was as if the wind had also felt Bai Mumu's joy, instead of the bone-chilling chill of the previous few days, it gently brushed on her face.

Pang Guimei sent her to the car: "Bon voyage, just let me know if you need help."

Bai Mumu nodded heavily: "I will come back as soon as possible."

On the bus, the luggage was placed under the feet, and there was a bag on Bai Mumu's lap, which was prepared for motion sickness.

The preparation was sufficient, but unfortunately it was not used.

She got out of the high-speed rail station and saw Bai Yiming in the waiting area, but after a few days, she felt that the person in front of her was a little strange.

"You've lost weight, haven't you eaten well during this time?" Bai Mumu stood in front of Bai Yiming, looking at his red and swollen eyes.

Bai Yiming took the luggage in her hand, showing a little embarrassment on his face: "Well, Mom is not in a good temper right now."

Bai Yiming thought about being on the dining table, Xie Wan turned the table over because of a disagreement with him, and all the dishes he had worked so hard to cook fell on the ground.

It's not enough to lift it up, she still has to sit by the window holding a picture of Baisong and crying about her difficulties and the children's disobedience.

Those words were like a curse, haunting and tormenting him every quiet night, causing him to wake up several times from his dreams.

"Now I understand my sister's feelings a little bit." Bai Yiming smiled sadly: "I can't reason with my mother, because it doesn't make sense at all."

The disagreement that time seemed to be because one dish was salty, Xie Wan kept holding on to this point, he got impatient and adjusted the order of the dishes.

This action suddenly ignited Xie Wan's anger: "Do you think I'm annoying! Yiming, can't mom even talk anymore?!"

Seeing that Bai Yiming didn't respond to her directly, she slapped him and knocked off the food on the chopsticks: "Why do you still eat as a matter of course?!"

"Mom, what's the matter, can we talk after dinner?" Bai Yiming glanced at the dishes on the table, he really just wanted to finish the meal in peace.

The meat and vegetables splashed on his body and landed at his feet, and the greasy vegetable soup left deep marks on the gray clothes.

Bai Mumu patted Bai Yiming's shoulder understandingly, got into the car silently, and stood downstairs in the community silently.

Before she got her luggage out of the car, Bai Mumu heard Xie Wan's showy voice: "Oh, what a coincidence, I can't go to the supermarket with you to grab discounted vegetables."

"My daughter came back from S City, and because of Lao Bai's death, she was worried about me, so she resigned and planned to stay with me at home."

Half of Xie Wan's body was blocked by the car, and the woman standing opposite her smiled awkwardly, her eyes wandered around, and when she saw the figures of Bai Yiming and Bai Mumu, she chopped off her feet suddenly.

"Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here!" The woman twisted her waist and faced them, the plastic bags in the rattan basket rattling: "I won't disturb your reunion, I have to grab food!"

After the woman left, Xie Wan came out from the back of the car and suppressed the smile on her face. She saw that Bai Mumu's first words were not concerned, but a very mocking voice: "Resigned?"

Bai Mumu shook her head: "No."

When Xie Wan was about to explode, Bai Mumu turned on her toes, took out the access control card from her bag, and said in an extremely calm tone, "Mom, are you sure you want to quarrel with me downstairs?"

"Aunt Liu may not have gone far."
