Mu Jingzhe also did not want to do this, but he could not control himself. He had never seen a real snake before, so he could not control himself when facing so many snakes.
"Geez, I'm almost scared shitless." Surprised again by the door, which was blown away by the wind, Mu Jingzhe patted his chest in relief.
Shao Dong frowned as he looked at Mu Jingzhe. He thought for a moment and grabbed his hand. "Mom, let me help you call your soul."
“Mm?”
“I've also experienced fear before. Grandma in the village helped me call back my soul, and then I recovered.”
After saying that, Shao Dong crouched down and picked up a small lump of soil from the ground. Then, she wrapped around Mu Jingzhe's head and solemnly called out her soul for him.
This is something that adults often do when children in the village are frightened. Looking very serious, Shao Dong used the same method on Mu Jingzhe.
"return. Never be afraid again.”
Mu Jingzhe looked at the serious Shao Dong and felt his heart filled with warmth. His heart, which had been beating too fast, slowly calmed down. “Thank you, Little Dong. I feel better now."
"Good." Shao Dong sighed in relief.
Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Dong's serious expression and inevitably lifted him up and twisted him. "Little Dong, why are you so cute?"
Stunned by his embrace, Shao Dong held Mu Jingzhe's hand tightly. "Mama?"
Mu Jingzhe often carried Little Bei and Xiao Wu around like this. This was his first time, and he felt uncomfortable.
Mu Jingzhe looked at her and lowered her before kissing her forehead.
"Hehe."
This time, Shao Dong froze completely. His face slowly turned red, and he was stuttering even more. "Mom, what are you ... doing?"
"I just kissed you once," Mu Jingzhe confessed. “When we were in town, I couldn't help but kiss Shao Xi. Then, thought by me. When you and Shao Xi grow up, I won't have another chance to do this in the future. It's just one chance, right? So I…"
He laughed contentedly. “Dong is small, you're not angry because I didn't talk to you before, right?”
Shao Dong was not angry, but he was surprised.
She vaguely remembered that her birth mother had kissed her before. He has kissed her face and forehead. But the memory is too far away. So far away that it feels like a dream.
Now, he clearly knew that this was not a dream. When Mu Jingzhe kissed him, he felt a warmth envelop his entire body, causing his mind to become a little chaotic.
Shao Dong arranged his words. “I'm not angry, but I've become a man..”
"I knew. Don'worry. Boys keep a certain distance from their mothers as they grow older, and so do girls and fathers. I know you're older now. That's not gonna happen again. Just this once.”
Mu Jingzhe immediately convinced her and stroked her head while tidying her hair.
Shao Dong looked at Mu Jingzhe's warm gaze and felt somewhat stifled. He also felt an indescribable trace of regret.
In the past, he had always hoped that he would grow up quickly so that he could do many things. However, this was the first time he was envious of his younger siblings.
Today, she suddenly wanted to be younger and stay in her mother's arms longer.
Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Dong with mixed feelings. "Time passes quickly. Sometimes, I really wish time could slow down so you guys grow slower. ”
At that moment, he only had one thought in his mind: So now he's the only one Mommy hasn't kissed?
After Shao Dong left, Shao Nan thought for a moment and went to wash her forehead. She found Mu Jingzhe and looked at him firmly. "Mom, you must treat the five of us equally."
Mu Jingzhe was confused. "What's? Why are you washing your forehead? Are you getting dirty?" He had seen Shao Nan's puzzling behavior.
"No, I'm just getting ready." Shao Nan pointed at his forehead. “I've washed it, so it's time you kissed me, Mom. You already kissed Brother and Second Brother, so I am the only one left of the five of us. You can't leave me. ”
Mu Jingzhe's mind was in a mess. What the hell is going on? Was he waiting for her to kiss him after he washed his forehead?
In a daze, he granted Shao Nan's request and kissed her. Only then did Shao Nan give him a satisfied smile. "It's nice. It's fair now.”
He counted with his finger and said, “The ancients said that boys and girls should not sleep together after they were seven years old. According to what you said to Brother and the others just now, one must keep a certain distance from the opposite sex after they are seven or eight years old. I'm six now, and there's still one more year before I'm seven. Ma'am, you can take advantage of the opportunity to kiss me a few more times this year.”
Mu Jingzhe was in a daze. “Do you like that?”
"Yes." Yeah." Shao Nan nodded. “Actually, there's less than a year left until I'm seven, so you should take advantage of that opportunity, Mom.”
Shao Nan coughed and left. When he got to the door, he started running fast. The corner of his mouth slowly split open, and his laughter became even louder.
She had no idea what it was like to be kissed by her mother. No wonder Little Bei and Xiao Wu were so shy and excited at all times. It was only fitting that the children in the village used to show off in front of him. It is worth showing off.
Shao Nan touched her forehead and, recalling her warm touch, felt her heart filled with excitement. There's still one more year.
Although he had not experienced this in the first six years of his life, there was still one year left. It was quite good, at least better than when Big Brother and Second Brother left. However, it also made him feel very embarrassed.
Thinking of this, he could not help but envy Little Bei and Xiao Wu. Being a girl, Little Bei could continue to be close to Mommy in the future, whereas Xiao Wu was young, so he had more time.
When Mu Teng and Li Zhaodi came back and learned that Mu Jingzhe had almost been bitten by a poisonous snake, they jumped around in the courtyard and scolded the culprit for half a night. Their common meaning was that regardless of whether this was intentional or not, if anyone dared to attack again, they would definitely tear him apart.
Mu Teng heard that the snake repellent powder had been sprinkled, but he was still worried. He used a flashlight and placed a circle of thorny vines outside the courtyard. Shao Qiyang helped him.
Shao Qiyang did not expect something so big to happen when he left for one night. In addition to guilt, he also felt a prolonged fear.
After Mu Teng and Li Zhaodi returned, the matter where Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei would sleep came to the surface.
The door has been destroyed, and a new one has not been installed. Even if there was a room door, Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei were so traumatized that they still dared not sleep.
Shao Qiyang offered to let them sleep in his room, but Mu Jingzhe disagreed. After all, he was his brother-in-law, so it was inappropriate. In the end, Shao Dong suggested that Mu Jingzhe sleep with them for a while.
The rooms of Shao Dong, Shao Xi, Shao Nan, and Xiao Wu originally had two beds. Since Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei were going to sleep there, they moved the bed and everyone just slept on the floor.
Because it was summer, people would not get cold sleeping on straw mats on the floor.
Mu Jingzhe would sleep in the deepest corner with Little Bei and Xiao Wu sleeping beside him. This was the first time Xiao Wu had slept with Mu Jingzhe, and he was so happy that he kept holding her hand.
However, Mu Jingzhe was not used to it. Furthermore, he was afraid of having nightmares, so he did not sleep. Shao Dong felt this would not work and made some adjustments.
"Mom, you don't have to be afraid when we sleep around you."
Shao Dong had Shao Xi stand up and drag the straw mat onto Mu Jingzhe's head and legs. "In this way, you will be surrounded by us from all sides." Even if snakes crawled in, they would know first.
These dear ones are so sweet to her. Mu Jingzhe, who was surrounded and protected, finally understood the joy and meaning of parenthood.
