Dad is here

Chapter 61

In front of Mu Xiaotao, Xu Luofeng could not drive Luo Yuqun away, let alone speak ill at her. Although he was very disgusted in his heart, he held back on the surface, and welcomed Mother Cheng and Luo Yuqun into the door expressionlessly. .

Luo Yuqun was very reserved, since Xu Luofeng returned from studying abroad the year before, this was the second time she met him.The last time she was in Xu Pingchuan's company, she went to talk to Xu Pingchuan, and met Xu Luofeng by accident. At that time, her son just gave her a cold look, then turned and left.

She wanted to call him, so she asked: Luo Feng, are you back?But seeing his repulsive appearance, she didn't speak after all.

Before that, she hadn't seen Xu Luofeng for many, many years.

It was Luo Yuqun's first visit to Xu Luofeng's home in Fengtai Mingcheng, and she didn't dare to look at the house too presumptuously, so her attention naturally focused on Mu Xiaotao.

Mu Xiaotao had already been put down by Xu Luofeng. She hugged her father's leg and looked curiously at the two strange grandmas.

Mother Cheng really felt uncomfortable, she took all the ingredients she brought to the kitchen, and when she came out, she saw Xu Luofeng and Luo Yuqun still silently standing in the living room with a distance of more than two meters, she couldn't help but have a headache.She managed to smooth things over, and took out a basket of sweet beans and handed them to Luo Yuqun: "Yuqun, peel this for me."

Luo Yuqun quickly took it, and glanced at Xu Luofeng, seeing that he didn't object, she sat at the dining table and peeled the sweet beans.

Mu Xiaotao became interested in this kind of work. She lay on the table and watched Luo Yuqun peel sweet beans one by one. The fresh and tender green beans were peeled and put in a bowl, which made her feel very interesting.

"Grandma, can I play with this?" Mu Xiaotao walked up to Luo Yuqun, pointed to the sweet beans with pods in the vegetable basket, and asked. Before Luo Yuqun could answer, Xu Luofeng had already opened his mouth seriously: "Xiaotao , watch TV."

Mu Xiaotao looked back at him: "But I don't want to watch TV."

Mother Cheng tugged at Xu Luofeng's sleeve: "Children need to be encouraged to help adults."

She went to Mu Xiaotao's side, seeing the little girl's round and tender face, she liked it more and more, and said, "Is your name Xiaotao? Xiaotao, grandma taught you, this is not for fun, we have to peel off the little bean." , you can cook delicious dishes for Xiaotao later."

Mu Xiaotao nodded, and Mother Cheng taught her to peel a sweet bean. Mu Xiaotao learned it very quickly, and peeled it decently.While she and Luo Yuqun were peeling beans at the dining table, Mother Cheng pulled Xu Luofeng into the kitchen.

Pushing the sliding door up, Xu Luofeng's face instantly pulled down: "Auntie, why did she come?"

"Luo Feng, don't be angry. Auntie apologizes to you." Cheng's mother sighed and said softly, "It's not my fault. When you called Lao Cheng, your mother was doing cupping in our clinic. She I have a bad waist these days, and I have been looking for Lao Cheng to see it. I answered the phone and told her casually, saying that I want to come to you to see your daughter, and your mother was stupid. With all of them, I realized that she didn't know anything."

Naturally, Xu Luofeng would not get angry at Cheng's mother, but the original good mood had disappeared at this moment.

Mother Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Luo Feng, Auntie watched you grow up and knows that you blame your mother in your heart, but today Auntie begs you, in front of Xiaotao, don't talk to you Mom is angry. She is also very old, and she is not doing well now. You don’t know how humble she was when she begged me to come together, as if she was afraid that I would not agree. I really refused without her."

Xu Luofeng's tense face softened a little, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass her in front of Xiaotao."

"That's good." Cheng's mother tidied up the vegetables, fish and shrimps she brought, Xu Luofeng glanced at the dining room outside through the sliding door of the kitchen, Mu Xiaotao was still peeling sweet beans with her back to him, Luo Yuqun talked to her from time to time Say a few words, with a kind smile on your brows and eyes.

Such a smile made Xu Luofeng feel strange and dazzling.Mu Xiaotao's eyes resembled Luo Yuqun's, which was the most powerful proof of the blood relationship between the three of them. Xu Luofeng was proud that Mu Xiaotao looked like him, but also hated that he and Mu Xiaotao looked like Luo Yuqun.

This is a particularly contradictory mentality, Xu Luofeng knew that he really couldn't let go of that woman who was over fifty years old.

He didn't want to go out to face her, so he leaned gently on the counter and asked Cheng's mother who was washing the vegetables, "What's the situation with her now?"

Cheng's mother naturally knew who he was talking about, and answered him peacefully: "What else can I do? She was with that man. The man divorced a few years ago and left the house. His wife took the children to He said that he would never meet his children in this life. Your mother has a house anyway, and the two live together. Your mother has retired and plays mahjong and dances every day. The man is still at work. Originally, he There is a prospect of promotion in the unit, but a few years ago because of the divorce, I almost ruined my reputation, until now I am just a small employee in my 50s, waiting to retire."

Xu Luofeng turned to look at Luo Yuqun again. She had short hair with yellow tips and black and white roots. It looked like she hadn't dyed it for a long time.Her face is no longer as exquisite and beautiful as it was a few years ago, she is obviously much older and haggard, her clothes are not fashionable, she is no different from ordinary middle-aged women on the road.

Who would have thought that this woman was so glamorous when she was young that she made women jealous and men crazy.

There is always a scene in Xu Luofeng's mind. In the hot summer, the ceiling fan was creaking and turning overhead. Luo Yuqun stood in front of the full-length mirror and changed into a tight dress. She combed her curly hair, her breasts were full, her arms Xu Luofeng, who was standing beside her, was stunned when she exposed her white and white legs, and her pair of phoenix eyes looked forward.

She put on her lipstick carefully, and Xu Luofeng, who was only four years old, hugged her leg and said, "Mom, do you want to take me out to play?"

Luo Yuqun patted him on the head and said, "Xiaofeng is good, I'm playing at home by myself, my mother has to go out beforehand."

Then she twisted her waist and went out with her satchel on her back. She didn't forget to lock the door behind her, completely ignoring Xu Luofeng who was in the room banging on the door and crying loudly.

Turning her thoughts, Mother Cheng was still saying: "That man is not treating your mother well now. Originally, a man has a wife and daughter, a career and a future, and a family that requires him to fight, but in order to be with your mother At the same time, he doesn’t want anything anymore, and even his relatives don’t have much contact with him. Naturally, there is a gap in his heart. As time goes by, he becomes unhappy, misses his daughter, and gets frustrated at work, so he quarrels with your mother. It turned into a fight."

Xu Luofeng frowned deeply: "The man hit her?"

"Isn't that right, your mother has a bad waist, that's why she was beaten by that person. At first she refused to tell, but I saw the bruises on her back and felt something was wrong, so I forced her to ask." Cheng's mother was washing in the sink. Speaking of Heiyu, "After so many years, everyone knows that the two of them are really bad, and I have no intention of speaking for them. But, looking back now, I really think they are hateful and pitiful. There are two people with a son and a daughter, but they have betrayed their relatives and left them alone. Sigh..."

She sighed heavily, looked back at Xu Luofeng and said, "Luo Feng, Auntie knows that you have always blamed your mother. But there is a saying, I have been waiting for you to return to China, so I can tell you."

Xu Luofeng looked at her suspiciously.

Cheng's mother said: "Two years ago, I asked your mother and she didn't regret it. She thought for a long time before telling me that she didn't want to mention her, your father, and that man. That was her own choice. She can't blame others for being accused by thousands of people. She just thinks that the person she is most sorry for is you. "

"..."

"Actually, she has always asked me and Lao Cheng to inquire about you. You went to Los Angeles, and sometimes contacted A Xu. A Xu would tell us about your recent situation, and your mother came to me to inquire. She knows where you study , I also know what major you are studying, when you will graduate and return to China, and that you have a girlfriend. At that time, she also told me that when you got married, she didn’t know whether you would ask her to have a wedding. She was very worried and said If your mother is not present when you get married, will you be laughed at by the woman's side?"

Xu Luofeng raised his hand and wiped his face, feeling so congested that he could hardly breathe.

He walked out of the kitchen, Luo Yuqun was cleaning the peeled pods and beans, Xu Luofeng took Mu Xiaotao to the bathroom to wash his hands, Mu Xiaotao asked him for credit: "Dad, I peeled a lot of beans!"

Xu Luofeng wiped her hands with a smile: "Xiao Tao is really capable, she can help Dad with things."

He sent Mu Xiaotao to play in the living room, Luo Yuqun took sweet beans into the kitchen, and when he came out, he saw Xu Luofeng staring blankly.

She rubbed her hands, stepped forward and called him cautiously: "Luo Feng."

Xu Luofeng raised his eyes to look at her, and suddenly said, "Give me your bank card number later, and I'll send you a sum of money tomorrow, and you can keep it for yourself."

"No, no, no..." Luo Yuqun shook his hand, "I don't want your money, I have money myself."

At this moment, Mu Xiaotao rushed over from the living room, holding a green paper frog in her hand, and proudly said to Luo Yuqun, "Grandma, look! I folded this! Dad taught me!"

Luo Yuqun took the frog and lovingly patted Mu Xiaotao's head: "Ah... Xiaotao is so powerful."

She looked down at the paper frog in her hand, and suddenly smiled at Xu Luofeng: "You still remember how to fold a frog. When I taught you, it took you a long time to learn."

Xu Luofeng was hit hard in his heart, he tried his best not to show shock, watched Luo Yuqun squat down, and said to Mu Xiaotao: "Xiaotao is smarter than daddy, and he folds really well, when daddy was young, grandma Teach him to fold a frog, but he still cries and refuses to learn!"

Mother Cheng cooked a sumptuous lunch, and Mu Xiaotao ate delicious porridge with fish fillets, as well as the sweet peas and corn she peeled herself, and she was very happy.After eating, Mother Cheng cleaned up the kitchen and left Xu Luofeng's food for the evening, so she offered to leave with Luo Yuqun.

Before leaving, Luo Yuqun hugged Mu Xiaotao, kissed her on the cheek, and said to Cheng's mother, "Xiaotao looks exactly like Luo Feng when we were young."

Mother Cheng nodded again and again: "It's very similar. Luo Feng was so beautiful when he was a child. I remember that there was a time when his hair was long, and you tied two small braids for him. Anyone who saw it said he was a girl."

Xu Luofeng's head was full of black lines, and he took Mu Xiaotao from Luo Yuqun's arms. Luo Yuqun thought he didn't want him to hold Xiaotao, so he lowered his hand in embarrassment, but Xu Luofeng said coldly: "Your waist is not Okay, don't hold the baby, she weighs more than 30 catties."

Luo Yuqun's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and when she walked to the door, she turned her head and said, "When Xiaotao's mother comes back from a business trip, you take her and Xiaotao with you, and I'll treat you to dinner. I have to give Xiaotao's mother a red envelope, and Meet and greet."

Xu Luofeng: "..."

"I kept some of the gold utensils your grandma gave me, but I didn't sell them. Although the styles are old, you can take them to the gold shop to remake them. When your father asked me for them, I didn't give them back. I was afraid he would take them away. Please other women. This is what your grandma left for your daughter-in-law..."

Xu Luofeng could hardly listen, so he could only interrupt her: "Let's talk."

At night, Xu Luofeng had a dream.

He groped for a long time in a room where he couldn't see his fingers, but he couldn't find the door.At this time, there was a cry of frogs suddenly coming from beside him, "croak, croak, croak..." He looked around in surprise, and found that there were green lights shining in the corner, and there were frogs of different sizes. Frogs popped their heads out of the darkness.

Thanks to the light, he finally found the door. After opening the door, he found that there was a forest outside. The breeze was blowing, and the sun was warm. He ran briskly in the woods, and the little frogs kept jumping and accompanying him. .

When he came to a pond, Xu Luofeng looked into the water, and what he saw was a four or five-year-old boy. He had eyebrows and eyes very similar to his own, and there was no smile on his face.

The ripples in the water rippled, and when it calmed down again, there was a young woman behind the little boy.

She was very beautiful, with her hands on the little boy's shoulders, she was looking at Xu Luofeng across the water with a smile on her face.

Xu Luofeng looked back, only to realize that he was already in a room, the young woman was sitting beside him, she took out a blank piece of paper and said, "Xiaofeng, mommy will teach you how to fold a frog, okay?"

"..."

"As long as you miss your mother, just fold a frog. Although your mother is not by your side, the little frog will always be with you."

"..."

"Xiaofeng, are you willing to go with your mother?"

The second half of the dream was filled with endless quarrels and verbal abuse, and Xu Luofeng had a severe headache. He saw the silent little boy, hiding under the square table, with his small body huddled up, covering his ears and facing wall.

At his feet, there are a few scattered paper frogs.

The frog gradually grew bigger, and eventually it was even bigger than the little boy's body. They surrounded him in a circle to protect him. One of the frogs turned around, its bulging eyes rolled around, and its long red tongue stuck out. .

Xu Luofeng woke up instantly.

In a dark and quiet room, he was lying on a soft and comfortable big bed.Xu Luofeng turned on the bedside lamp and found that Mu Xiaotao had kicked half of the quilt away, so she quickly covered her.

Mu Xiaotao rolled over under the quilt, with the corners of her mouth curled up, sleeping soundly.

Xu Luofeng was covered in cold sweat. After getting out of bed and going to the balcony to smoke a cigarette, he sent a text message to Mu Fengying. Pressing his finger on the screen, he unconsciously typed two words and sent it: Yingying

It was already past 3 o'clock in the morning, Xu Luofeng didn't expect Mu Fengying to reply to the text message at all, but 2 minutes later, the phone message sounded.

He opened it, and Mu Fengying said: What's wrong?
Xu Luofeng stared at the phone for a long time, then looked back: I had a dream.

She replied: Nightmare?
Xu Luofeng: Yes.

Mu Fengying: Woke up?
Xu Luofeng curled his lips and replied: Yes.

Mu Fengying: Hug, don't cry

Xu Luofeng's mood suddenly became better, and he turned off the message tone on the phone. He went back to the room, lay down next to Mu Xiaotao, and started a text message with Mu Fengying, just like they did when they were in college.

In this era, few people send text messages to chat, and everyone is used to communicating with each other through telephone, QQ, email, etc. The package with the largest monthly SMS package in the campus network package has long been out of favor.

But that night, Xu Luofeng and Mu Fengying sent text messages back and forth, one after another, and chatted for two hours.

Until the end, Mu Fengying said: I am sleepy, I want to sleep.

Xu Luofeng said: Well, good night.

Mu Fengying: Wrong, it's good morning.

She turned over on the big bed in the hotel, and 5 minutes later, the phone turned on again.

She picked it up and looked at it, it was from Xu Luofeng: "Okay, good morning."Sakura, I miss you so much.

Mu Fengying put away her phone, got out of bed and walked to the window.The heavy curtains were drawn open, and the light came in at once.Mu Fengying narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to block her eyes.

It's dawn, another busy day.In the last week of the year, foreigners all over China were preparing to go home, but she was still staying in this distant city, doing something she didn't know the meaning of.
