MTL - It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother-Chapter 22 don't know how to call mother
A large pot of crystal-clear off-white rice porridge, dotted with pieces of diced sweet potatoes in yellow soil. The color is bright and beautiful, and the taste is dense and soft. When you take a sip, you will be satisfied with the aroma of rice, noodles and sweet potatoes. Mo Daxi's family's hungry taste buds.
Xu Shaolin cherished every mouthful of porridge, the warmth and sweetness slipped into his throat, warming his heart. This is the grain bought by their family Daxi with money, and the porridge made by their family Daxi himself. At this moment, Xu Shaolin felt that there is nothing in the world that is more delicious than this porridge. After many years, even though he has tasted delicacies from mountains and seas, but He still thinks this porridge is the most delicious thing he has ever eaten.
The three Mo Wuyun brothers also ate the porridge in small sips. The porridge made of white rice and white noodles with diced sweet potatoes is naturally many times more delicious than black batter. It's just that although their taste instincts enjoy this meal very much, there is always something in their hearts. Unable to let go, the three of them didn't say a word. In order to avoid contact with Mo Dai's eyes, the three of them kept staring at the big sea bowl in their hands. The deliberate and focused expressions made Mo Dai feel very uncomfortable. It's funny and funny, almost laughed out loud a few times.
The two children were more frank than their fathers, and they ate very happily. After a while, a small bowl of porridge was drained. After eating, they continued their old habits and started to lick the bowl.
Seeing this, Mo Dai was very distressed, took their small bowls, and added another bowl for them: "Eat slowly, there are still a lot in the pot!"
The phrase "There are still many in the pot" is undoubtedly the most beautiful sentence heard by everyone present, especially the two children, whose little faces instantly burst into light of surprise.
Originally, porridge was enough to satisfy the whole family, but when Mo Dai served the vegetable and meat buns heated in the pot, the atmosphere at the dinner table stagnated for a moment.
"Eat the steamed stuffed bun while it's hot." Modai said.
"..." Except for Maru Niu who kept clamoring for food at her ankles, the others responded to her with silence.
Mo Dai knew that this family was used to suffering, and it would be impossible for them to take the initiative, including the two young ones, who just ate the food given to them by the adults in an orderly manner, as much as they were given, no matter what. Don't bother asking for it.
Modai simply divided up the buns for each person. Of course, Maru Niu is also essential. She bought a total of ten vegetable and meat buns before, and there were two left after dividing them in a circle. Mo Dai put one of them in front of Mo Wuqing, and broke the other to share with the two little ones.
Everyone naturally has no objection to her division, except Mo Wuqing.
"Mo Daxi, what do you mean?" Mo Wuqing put down his chopsticks angrily. In her eyes, is he really so delicious?
"Huh?" Mo Dai didn't understand what Mo Wuqing meant.
"I don't eat much, you don't need to give me more, you'd better leave it to yourself!" Mo Wuqing picked up the vegetable and meat bun and put it back in front of Mo Dai, picking up his own vegetable and meat bun angrily He took a hard bite. After taking a bite, the whole person couldn't help being startled. Although the sweet potato porridge is sweet and delicious, it is still not as good as dry food. He only ate this vegetable meat bun once when he was six years old. He didn't expect to eat it again now. really tasty!
Mo Wuqing ate while thinking about it, and then came back to his senses, a vegetable and meat bun had already entered his stomach, Mo Wuqing blushed uncontrollably, he would never admit that one bun was not enough, and he wanted to continue eating.
Hearing what Mo Wuqing said, and looking at his actions, Mo Dai suddenly understood the reason for his anger, so she put the vegetable and meat bun in front of Mo Wuqing again, and said before he got angry again: "You are pregnant When you are pregnant, you have to support two people while eating alone, you are eating too little!"
Hearing this, Mo Wuqing couldn't help but startled, and then felt his eye sockets burning and sore, he endured it with all his might, and glared at Mo Dai: "Hmph, you don't need to pretend to be kind!" Return it again.
Mo Dai didn't mind either, she drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, took away the buns a few times, and then said to Xu Shaolin: "Father, in fact, I'm working as a second wife in Fumantang now, and I have 900 Wen a month, and I can pay you back. You can take a day off and go home to visit relatives. It is only the beginning of March, and I won’t be back until the beginning of April when the seeds fall.”
When Xu Shaolin heard that Mo Dai was working in Fumantang, he was very pleased, and nodded repeatedly to ask her to work hard, and don't let the boss say no.
"Father, I want to sleep with my two children tonight." Modai said again, at this time she didn't look at the expressions of the three Mo Wuyun brothers, because she knew that they had no expressions, even if they had those expressions, they were lucky.
Xu Shaolin felt that something was wrong, and glanced at his three sons who were expressionless, alas, these three are not worried!
"Daxi, you..."
"Father, I have to leave very early tomorrow, and I won't be back for the next month. I want to spend more time with the children!" Mo Dai interrupted what Xu Shaolin wanted to explain for her three husbands, and stood up after speaking , "Father, I want to go and see Mrs. Osmanthus, you can give me a tael of silver, and the sold meat is also for Mrs. Osmanthus!"
"Hey, okay, I'll get it for you right now!" Xu Shaolin didn't ask any more questions, and quickly fetched a tael of silver and handed it to Mo Dai, "There are still ten eggs at home, you can also take them to them." !"
Looking at Xu Shaolin's thin face and the obvious flattering smile on his face, Mo Dai suddenly felt sore again. She turned her face away and took a deep breath to calm down, then smiled and patted Xu Shaolin's shoulder: "Well, it's still Father is very considerate, I will not be at home for a month, and I will go to tell Aunt Osmanthus to let her take care of our house. I will try my best to ask the shopkeeper to take a few days off and come back to see you!"
"Hey, it's all up to you. Dad believes that our family Daxi is a person who doesn't do anything. He must be a down-to-earth and hardworking person, hehe..." Xu Shaolin smiled even more, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Father, don't worry, I will do it well!" Mo Dai wanted to laugh a little, but she was also glad that Xu Shaolin was a calf protector, no matter what, he treated Mo Daxi sincerely.
Mo Dai came to Mo Guihua's house with one or two pieces of silver and ten eggs. At first Mo Guihua and her three husbands were indifferent to her. After she clarified the misunderstanding that day, Mo Guihua was surprised to leave He jumped up from the kang, not even a little bit sick. When she saw Modai handing her the money and eggs, this honest and honest woman was so moved that she choked up her voice on the spot, and straight away said she couldn't take it. Mo Dai forced it to Mo Guihua, and then explained that she hoped that Mo Guihua could take care of their family during her absence. Mo Guihua patted her chest and promised that she would try her best to help.
When Mo Dai came out of Mo Guihua's house, it was already dark, she walked back to her yard, and suddenly remembered the gate of her home that had been kicked down before, so she stopped by the door and touched it. She hadn't noticed when Mo Wuyun locked the door before, but now she realized that the door panel had been repaired.
"Osmanthus fragrans helped fix that door!" Xu Shaolin saw Mo Dai standing by the door and said with a smile, "Osmanthus fragrans is a nice person, you did the right thing this time!"
Mo Dai looked up in surprise, it turned out that Mo Guihua had repaired it, and sure enough, this woman is worthy of befriending.
When going to bed at night, Mo Dai got her wish and slept with her two children, while Xu Shaolin slept with his three sons.
The two children were still very afraid of Modai, they stayed far away from her, and shrunk their small bodies into a ball, not daring to show their air. Maruniu snorted and laughed, these two little idiots are actually afraid of this woman, since they don't want to sleep with her, then it will be impolite. Maru Niu raised his big ears, flicked his little tail, and walked towards Modai with a happy face.
However, before it got close to Modai, it was dragged by Mo Xiaoyi, and then hugged tightly, and almost missed the two extra bowls of sweet potato porridge it ate at night.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yi, come to Mother's arms!" Of course, Mo Dai knew that the two children were afraid of her, but if they were always so afraid and didn't try to communicate, they would never change.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoyi stared at her blankly, although they didn't want to, they didn't dare to disobey, their little bodies approached Modai stiffly, not daring to move.
Xiaoyu is the older brother, and she knew from a young age that she should protect her younger brother. In order to make her younger brother less afraid, she put herself next to Modai, leaving him between Xiaoyi and Modai.
Mo Dai reached out and touched Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi's heads, and said with a smile, "May I tell you a story?"
Xiao Yu didn't dare to look at Mo Dai, but tightly held her younger brother Xiao Yi's hand, and nodded obediently.
Modai didn't blow out the oil lamp, and under the dim light, she saw that the two little guys tensed their little bodies as if they were facing an enemy, and their slender and thick eyelashes kept trembling like cicada's wings.
Modai closed her eyes, and slowly talked about the children's books she had read in modern times. The modern broadcasting profession, coupled with Mo Daxi's good voice, made the stories she told vivid and fascinating. The two little guys couldn't help but open their eyes wide, and the original fear and guard gradually disappeared.
After listening to the last story of "Little Tadpole Looking for a Mother", Mo Dai touched the heads of the two children again: "Go to sleep, it's late!" After speaking, she blew out the oil lamp and lay down.
In the darkness, Tsubasa and Maruyu had already fallen asleep, while Xiaoyu was still awake although his eyes were closed.
Knowing that Xiao Yu was pretending to be asleep, Mo Dai asked softly, "Xiao Yu, can you tell me why you never call your mother?"
Xiao Yu was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes wide to look at Mo Dai beside him. In the darkness, he couldn't see Mo Dai's face, he could only feel the warmth and softness of her embrace.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hit you!" Mo Dai patted Xiao Yu's back lightly to soothe his momentarily tense nerves, and waited quietly.
After a while, she heard Xiaoyu confirming in a small voice: "...Really, won't you hit me?"
"No, I won't hit you in the future."
"…real?"
"Well, really."
"..." It seemed that he had tried a lot, but he still couldn't say that word, so anxious that he curled his lips and cried, "I, I shout...not rough (out)...not rough (out)..."
Mo Dai hugged Xiao Yu into her arms, kissed his forehead, and said distressedly: "Hey, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry if you can't, just call mom for now!"
Xiao Yu confirmed with sobs: "Mom...Mom?"
"Well, Mom."
"Mother!"
"Hey! Be good!"
