Su Qingluan originally watched his sister fall down a few steps in front of him, but he obviously did not have long enough arms to catch her small body. His heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by an invisible big hand, as if to Can't jump anymore.
When I found out that my sister was not injured in the fall, but was stopped, the feeling of my heart being squeezed slowly disappeared.
After regaining consciousness, Su Qingluan realized that she had been holding her breath because she was too nervous just now. She quickly took in big breaths to relieve the squeezing pain in her chest and waves of dizziness.
"Thank you sister... um... brother-in-law!" The little girl thought for a while and finally remembered the new title she had just learned from brother and father in the past two days. Everyone said that when my sister got married, whoever married her would be the "brother-in-law".
For a five-year-old girl, she still doesn't quite understand the meaning behind "brother-in-law", but in short she understands that although she and Mr. Mu were only in the same village before, now because her sister is "married" , so Mr. Mu is their "family".
Each "family member" has a fixed title, father, mother, sister, brother. The new Mr. Mu is called "brother-in-law".
The sound of "brother-in-law" brought Su Qingluan back to her senses and realized that it was Mu Xingzhi who had rescued her sister. She hurriedly straightened her sister up and checked her up and down to make sure that the little girl was not hurt. She turned to look at Mu Xingzhi. : "Thank you so much." Then he looked at Su Xueyan, "Although I know you miss me very much, you must not run like this again!"
The little girl almost fell down and was a little frightened. When she heard this, she nodded obediently: "Sister, I understand!"
While talking, Su Xuanhe rushed over out of breath. He first greeted Mu Xingzhi and saluted, and then looked at Su Qingluan: "Sister..." He seemed to have something else to say to sister, but suddenly I found that I couldn't say anything.
After a while, Su Xuanhe lowered his head and glared at his sister: "You said you wanted to catch crickets, why did you run away!"
The little girl obviously felt guilty and immediately lowered her head and pretended to be silent.
"Why are you here?" Su Qingluan said with a smile, "Where are your parents?"
"I'm busy at home," Su Xuanhe smiled helplessly, "Sister, you still don't know the temperament of our parents. If they are not elders and are not suitable to go out to greet the younger generation, they would like to come and pick you up themselves. No, send Here are our two 'advance soldiers'."
Then he turned around and asked Su Xueyan to hold his hand. This time, the little girl didn't cause any trouble.
After some pleasantries, Su Xuanhe led his sister to the front. Su Qingluan followed Mu Xingzhi's wheelchair and Song Bo behind, sighing a little: "I can't tell, your movements are quite agile."
Mu Xingzhi turned his head slightly and looked at Su Qingluan: "Although it is inconvenient, I consider myself to be quite flexible, and my sister happened to fall in front of me just now, so I just helped her."
Su Qingluan teased: "Now in terms of etiquette, Xueyan is also your sister."
Mu Xingzhi was stunned, then smiled and said: "That's right."
After all, the two families were in the same village. No matter how slow we walked, the village was only so big. After a while, we could see the white low wall of the Su family.
In fact, Su Guangfu was lucky. He had a dull temper and was relatively able to keep his temper, so although he missed his daughter very much, he was able to sit firmly in his position. But after all, he was not good at hiding his thoughts. The beautiful purple clay teacup in his hand was almost pulpy after being rubbed by Su Guangfu's hand.
But relatively speaking, Ms. Yang's personality is more aggressive and refreshing. She knows that as an elder in terms of etiquette, she cannot go out to greet her daughter and son-in-law in person, otherwise she will make others laugh and cause trouble for her daughter and son-in-law.
But it is said that the mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles away. Although Su Qingluan is not that far away even "hundred miles" let alone "thousands of miles", in Yang's mind, things will be different after getting married.
Although she knew that Mr. Mu was alone and her daughter had no parents-in-law to take care of her, how could a mother have her worries over? In the past few days, she was sometimes worried that Su Qingluan would not be used to the new living environment, sometimes she was worried that taking care of Mu Xingzhi would be too hard, and sometimes she was worried that Mu Xingzhi and her daughter had different tastes and that her daughter would not be used to eating...
These messy things were entangled together, making Yang feel increasingly uneasy, so she simply paced back and forth in the front hall.
"I said, old lady, can you take a break?" Su Guangfu was finally a little dizzy from being surrounded by his wife. He couldn't help but raise his head and said, "You are going to wear this ground through. Let's get together soon." She's here, and if you miss her, you can go and see her, it's not like a village never sees her."
"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about on the grand day when my daughter returns to her parents' home?" Yang glared at Su Guangfu fiercely, "When people get married, it's the time when the young couple is having a sweet time. Why am I, an old woman, trying to fool around with you? What's more? Oh, how can the mother-in-law run to her son-in-law’s house every day, doesn’t it look good or sound bad!”
"If it doesn't sound good, it doesn't sound good. I think you're going to be lovesick for your daughter!"
"What lovesickness? Don't you miss your daughter..."
Just as the couple was bickering in the main room, they heard Su Xuanhe's loud voice outside: "Dad, grandma, who do you think is back?"
Although Su Guangfu pretended to be very calm just now, after hearing his son's voice, Su Guangfu rushed in front of Mr. Yang, but the next moment he stopped running out of the door and was laughed at by Mr. Yang behind him. "Tsk": "You're still talking about me, there is someone who can run faster than a rabbit!"
The Su family does not have a slope that is easy for wheelchairs to enter and exit like the Mu Xingzhi family. In order to make it easier for his son-in-law to get in, Su Guangfu put wooden boards together at the door threshold several days in advance to form a gentle slope to facilitate wheelchair access.
In order to prevent it from collapsing under the weight of the wheelchair and an adult, Mu Xingzhi firmly filled the gap below with soil and compacted it. Even in order to make the templates look less gray and more festive, Su Guangfu also specially painted these templates with red paint. It has a bit of a red carpet feel and blends seamlessly with the red threshold.
"Dad, grandma, I'm back!" Su Qingluan bought the threshold and said loudly.
Although she was pretending to be "married", in the eyes of others she was indeed married, so when she came back again, her mood was slightly different.
"My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Unlike Su Qingluan's casual and natural salute, Mu Xingzhi's salute is very standard and elegant - even though his lower body is in a wheelchair, his upper body, whether it is the height of his raised arms or the arc of his bend, Absolutely textbook perfection.
However, when this person was sitting and saluting, he didn't feel awkward at all. Every move he made was very free and unrestrained, without any feeling of inferiority or embarrassment.
Yang and Su Guangfu exchanged glances of satisfaction without leaving any trace, and went to help the young couple up.
