Chapter 27 Will Daddy Come Back?

Yao Shu led the two children to the main room, and responded to their words: "Really? Will Dabao and Erbao help grandma to feed the younger brother together? Auntie is going to the town to do business. Wait for Dabao and Erbao to come back again." If you are older, you can help Aniang..."

After entering the house, the whole family sat around the table and were very happy to see Yao Shu and Yao Chao back. The two sisters-in-law of the Yao family pulled Yao Shu to ask questions.

It was Yao's father who spoke: "Ah Chao put down his things, Ashu went to wash his hands, it's time for dinner."

The first dinner back home made Yao Shu feel very warm, the sun was setting, the house was lit with oil lamps, and everyone chatted until late.

Because of the strong demands of the two children, Yao Shu took Dabao and Erbao back to the east room to rest at night, and Sanbao slept with his grandmother.

If I had known that Yao Shu would be coming home today, Yao's mother had already dried the quilt in the east room for a day, and the two sisters-in-law had prepared new charcoal fires.

At night, the three mother and son lay on the kang, covered with warm quilts, chatting one after another.

"Aniang, my sister and I already know how to solve Jiulianhuan, and we have learned a lot of characters."

"Are Dabao and Erbao so good? What characters have they learned?"

"Heaven, earth, sun, moon... and the names of A Niang, Dabao and Erbao."

"Who taught you that?"

Erbao rushed to answer: "Second aunt taught it. My brother can recite "Thousand Characters"!"

The winter night is very quiet, only the charcoal fire in the house makes the sound of "beep, beep, beep" from time to time. Asi is young and falls asleep quickly.

Just when Yao Shu was half asleep and half awake, he heard Ah Zhi ask her softly: "Ah Niang, do you miss Daddy?"

Her drowsy spirit suddenly came to her senses.

"Huh? Why did Dabao ask that? Do you miss Dad?"

Ah Zhi didn't answer right away, but after a while, he whispered: "Well... Mom, is it true that Dad won't come back?"

For a moment Yao Shu didn't know how to face this problem.

When she first came here, the two children, including herself, were bullied by the Lin family to such an extent that they couldn't even survive.

Yao Shu always thought that in the hearts of the two children, the Lin family was a den of tigers and wolves, and even the role of their father was gloomy.

She also made up her mind to reconcile!
But hearing what Dabao said, it was obvious that he missed his father. As a mother, he couldn't let the child forget his father.

Yao Shu patted his head, as if encouraging.

"Father has been gone for so long, I almost can't remember what he looks like,"

A Zhi pulled the quilt up to his chin, and whispered, "But he is really good to me and my sister, and to my mother."

"When daddy was around, grandma always liked to bully us, but as long as daddy saw it, she would definitely get angry."

"At that time, my mother always quarreled with my father, and sometimes my father would go out when the quarrel was so fierce. I saw that once in the middle of the night, my father was sitting on the threshold of the yard, looking at the moon, looking very sad..."

"But the next day, Dad was still afraid that Auntie would be angry and refused to eat breakfast, so he boiled eggs early in the morning and took them back to the room for Auntie to eat."

"Erbao and I can often eat delicious food. Grandma doesn't want to give us eggs, so she secretly hides them for Uncle San every time. But Father goes to work in the field, and sometimes I took out bird eggs from the bird's nest in the tree, and roasted rabbits for us to eat..."

"Father is very powerful. Last winter, he hunted a bear back from the mountain. After selling the bear to the hunter, he bought a silver bracelet for Erbao. Although Father left later, the silver bracelet was Grandma snatched it away..."

"After dinner today, Uncle Er asked me if Er Bao and I would go back to Lin's house if Dad came back... I said we will be where A Niang is."

"But Mommy, will daddy really come back?"

In the silent night, the air was cold and dry.

Yao Shu moved his arms and hugged the little boy in his arms.

His sensibility made her feel distressed. Similarly, the child's longing for his father was something she couldn't stop and had to admit.

Yao Shu thought for a while, and could only say: "Dabao, Auntie knows you are a good boy, and you will always keep in mind the kindness that Daddy treats us." Yao Shu considered his words, hugged him gently, Said in a low voice, "My mother always thought that your father will come back. Dabao don't think so much now, as long as you and your younger brothers and sisters grow up healthy and healthy, wait slowly for your father to come back, okay?"

The boy in his arms nodded obediently, closed his eyes, and put a reassuring smile on his mouth.

His mother's embrace and gentle promise gave him an unprecedented sense of security, and in this warmth, he slowly fell asleep.
