C27 Will Daddy Come Back

As Yao Shu led the two children toward the main house, she responded, "Really? Would Big Treasure and Erbao feed their younger brother together? "Mother went to do business in town. When Big Treasure and Erbao are older, they can help Mother …"

When they entered the room, the whole family sat around the table. Seeing Yao Shu and Yao Chao come back, they were also very happy.

Finally, Uncle Yao said, "Chao, put your things down. Shu, go wash your hands. It's time for dinner."

The first dinner at home made Yao Shu feel unusually warm. The sun was setting and the oil lamp was lit in the room. Everyone chatted until it was very late.

Yao Shu brought Dabao and Erbao to the east room to rest as the two children strongly requested, while San Bao and his grandma slept together.

Knowing Yao Shu would return home today, Mrs. Yao had already spent the whole day drying the quilts on the east side of the house, and her two sister-in-law had also prepared a new fire.

At night, the three of them lay on the kang under the warm quilt and chatted nonchalantly.

"Mother, my sister and I have already learned how to read and write."

"Are Dabao and Erbao that powerful? What words have you learned? "

"Heaven, Earth, Sun, Moon …" And the names of Mother and Big Treasure Erbao. "

"Who taught you that?"

Erbao quickly answered, "I was taught by second aunt. Big brother even knows how to recite the 'Thousand Character Classic'! "

The winter night was very quiet, with only the occasional "beep beep beep" from the charcoal fire in the room. Si was still young, so she quickly fell asleep.

Just when Yao Shu was half asleep, she heard Zhi ask her softly, "Mother, do you want to be a father?"

Her dazed spirit came to her in an instant.

"Hmm? Why did Big Treasure ask that? Thinking of Abba? "

Zhi didn't answer immediately, but after a while, he said quietly: "Mhm …" Mother, is Abba really not coming back? "

Yao Shu was momentarily at a loss as to how to face this problem.

When she had just passed through, the two children, including herself, had all been bullied by the Lin Family until they couldn't even go through with it.

Yao Shu had always thought that in the hearts of the two children, Lin Family was a lair of tigers and wolves, and even the role of father was bleak.

She also had the heart to leave!

But hearing the words of Big Treasure, it was clear that he missed his father. As a mother, there was no way he could make his child forget his father.

Yao Shu patted his head as if she was encouraging him.

"Dad has been gone for so long, I can barely remember his face."

Zhi pulled the blanket up to his chin and whispered, "But he's really good to me and his sister, and to mother as well."

"nanny always bullied us when father was around, but whenever she saw us, she would get angry.

"At that time, Mother always liked to quarrel with Abba. Sometimes, when they are arguing fiercely, Abba would go out. "I once saw my father sitting on the doorstep of his courtyard in the middle of the night, looking at the moon. He looked very sad …"

"But the next day, Abba was still afraid that Mother would be upset and refuse breakfast. He cooked the eggs early in the morning and brought them back to Mother's room for her to eat."

"Erbao and I also often get good food. nanny didn't want to give us eggs. Every time, she would secretly hide the eggs for Third Uncle. But when Abba finished his work in the fields, he would sometimes scoop up bird eggs from the birds' nests on the trees and even roast rabbits for us to eat … "

"Abba was very powerful. Last winter, he even hunted a bear and brought it back from the mountains. "After selling the bear to the hunter, he bought a silver bracelet for Erbao. However, after Abba left, the silver bracelet was taken away by nanny …"

"After dinner today, Second Uncle asked me, if Abba and I return, will we return to Lin Family … I said wherever Mother is, we'll be there. "

"But Mother, will Abba really come back?"

In the silence of the night, the air was cold and dry.

Yao Shu moved her arms and held the little boy in her arms.

Her heart ached because of his understanding, and similarly, she couldn't stop thinking about her father.

Yao Shu thought for a long time, and could only say, "Dabao, Mother knows that you're a good child. You have always remembered my father's kindness to us." Yao Shu weighed the words in her hand, softly hugging him, and said in a gentle voice, "Mother also always thought that your father would come back." Big Treasure, don't think too much about it right now. As long as you and your brother and sister grow up healthy and healthy, you can wait for Dad to come back, okay? "

The boy in his embrace nodded his head obediently and closed his eyes. Even the corner of his mouth had a peaceful smile.

His mother's embrace and gentle promise gave him a sense of security he had never felt before. In this warmth, he slowly fell asleep.
