Xing Bang and Madam Fanghua hugged each other tenderly for a while and then separated, and then sat down at the stone table.
The mountains are quiet and peaceful, and the courtyard is filled with the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums. Sitting quietly and sipping tea is also a kind of enjoyment.
Not long after, little Liu Hui came back, her face full of curiosity and joy.
"Hui Er, sit down and take a rest. You are sweating profusely from running."
As she spoke, Madam Fanghua quickly poured Liu Hui a cup of tea.
Liu Hui was really thirsty. She took the tea bowl and drank it all in one breath. She couldn't help smacking her lips and said, "Mother, the water here seems to be sweeter than the one in the palace!"
It's just because I'm in a good mood. The air smells fragrant.
"Great...little stick, don't you think?"
Liu Hui almost choked up again. Seeing Xing Bang's smile, the little guy also remembered the bet between them...
I haven't called out "Dad" yet.
Hearing this, Madam Fanghua frowned slightly. It sounded quite pleasant to hear her son calling Xing Bang "Little Bang" in the palace, but in this situation, it sounded a bit harsh to her and she felt uncomfortable. She subconsciously thought that this child was ignorant and disrespectful.
Then he said, "Hui Er, this is not the palace, so don't call me little Bangzi. Before coming here, didn't you call me "Uncle Bang"? "
"Ah? Mother, did I yell?"
Liu Hui was a little surprised, and she was wondering in her heart, she had been very careful, I guess she didn't shout...
I really can't remember it, but I do remember that Xing Bang called himself Uncle Bang, and he even said that he let the cat out of the bag.
This... Mother, do you think that I can call him Uncle Bang?
"Since mother thinks it's appropriate, then when there are no outsiders around, I will call you Uncle Bang!"
"Okay, that sounds good, much more friendly..."
Fanghua nodded lightly, calling him uncle was not an exaggeration at all.
Liu Hui nodded, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. This mother was so strange. Not only was she not surprised at all, but she also seemed very pleased.
Suddenly, the little guy felt like he was being cheated about this bet.
Thinking of this, Liu Hui couldn't help but look at Xing Bang, "Uncle Bang, have you already told my mother about this matter? That's why you are so sure she won't ask me?"
The little guy thought that he didn't need to hide it anymore. He felt cheated and naturally didn't want to lose for no reason.
Xing Bang smiled slightly. Wow, this kid has a really good brain. He is smarter than a monkey when it comes to getting fur...
"Look at what you said, Uncle Bang, can I play such tricks on a kid like you?"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Liu Hui expressed her disbelief. That was a call of "Dad". The stakes were so huge. There was nothing unreasonable in lying to a child!
At this time, Madam Fanghua spoke up and said, "Hui'er, he didn't lie to you. Mother really didn't know about this matter. It was you who said it before getting on the carriage, and then Mother knew about it."
"Oh, mother, I understand."
Liu Hui curled her lips. Her mother would never lie to her. She accepted defeat with all her heart.
I also decided in my heart to be an honest and trustworthy gentleman.
I will admit defeat if I lose the bet!
But how should I start? It is true that Uncle Bang and my father are of the same generation, but there is an essential difference between them.
Suddenly, Liu Hui was in a dilemma. He looked back and forth between the two of them, but he couldn't make up his mind and couldn't bring himself to speak.
"Hui'er, you were acting strange in the carriage, and you're so uneasy now. What's going on?"
This time, Madam Fanghua was basically certain that there must be some trick going on between the two men.
Liu Hui thought that it was not a gentleman's behavior to default on a debt, so he just went for it. Besides, his mother had agreed that he could call the man Uncle Bang, so it should be fine to call him Father.
Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, he subconsciously felt that he should be much safer now, and he stopped calling Xiaobangzi...
Think about this clearly.
Liu Hui let out a long sigh and made up his mind: "Dad, I lost!"
After saying this, the little guy lowered his head slightly, feeling very nervous...
"Hui...Hui'er, what did you just shout?"
Madam Fanghua opened her mouth in surprise. This was really shocking. She never expected this.
Subconsciously, I glanced at Xing Bang, and he smiled without saying anything...
I have a rough idea in my mind!
"Ah? Mother, I called you daddy, was my voice too soft?"
Liu Hui's head was buzzing, and she wasn't sure if it was because the sound was too soft that she didn't hear it.
Madam Fanghua was surprised and quickly said, "It's not that I didn't hear you, but why did you suddenly shout like that?"
"Well, mother, this is what happened..."
Liu Hui developed the child's virtue of honesty and explained the whole cause and effect in detail.
Madam Fanghua rolled her eyes at Xing Bang, saying that he was really disrespectful to his elders by bullying his own son like that. Just wait and see how I’ll deal with you tonight!
But I wasn't angry at all in my heart, on the contrary, I felt sweet.
Sooner or later I have to tell him...
It’s great to be able to get along so well!
Liu Hui was like a child who had made a mistake. She lowered her head and dared not speak, waiting for the possible reprimand and punishment she would receive...
Madam Fanghua didn't know how to start for a moment. Although she tacitly agreed in her heart, she was really not prepared for this matter at all!
Xing Bang coughed lightly and said seriously: "I just wanted to test Hui'er's courage and mind. Haha, she is really extraordinary and has the demeanor of a gentleman!"
Everything requires a process of adaptation. Anyway, his goal had been achieved, so he quickly came out to smooth things over.
From then on, in private, he simply called Liu Hui "Hui Er"...
Let’s not talk about Uncle Bang, but I don’t call you Dad for nothing, do I?
As the saying goes, once you call me dad, every time I call you dad is dad!
"Well, Hui'er, you are honest and trustworthy, very good, mother doesn't blame you!"
Madam Fanghua also said it quickly and tactfully.
Hearing this,
Liu Hui raised her little head, looking at Madam Fanghua with a look of surprise: "Mother, you really don't blame me?"
Can you really call me dad?
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand!
Madam Fanghua could understand her son's doubts, and said solemnly: "I really don't blame you. You know, when mother was in the torture chamber, it wasn't your father..."
Ugh!
Madam Fanghua was instantly embarrassed. How could she be dragged into this...
Liu Hui widened her eyes in confusion.
Madam Fanghua hurriedly explained: "No, Hui'er, it was just a slip of the tongue..."
"Well, what mother wants to say is that if it weren't for your uncle Bang's comfort and care, mother might not be alive today, and there is also this incident. So, even if you call him dad, it's not too much."
Great explanation, perfect!
It perfectly illustrates what it means for a loving mother and a filial son.
