Chapter 1 Stubborn Yun Gentle
In 1986, in Jiulishan Village, Nanchong County, Sichuan Province, the sun enveloped the entire village like a mask.
The girl Yun Wenwen walked into the village with her schoolbag on her back and cheerful steps.
"Dad, I'm back." The girl's cheerful voice sounded outside a dilapidated tile-roofed house in the village.
The walls of the tile-roofed houses are made of bamboo strips mixed with soil and cement, and can be broken with a strong kick.
"I'm back. I'll be back when I'm back. What's your name?" The man who was called dad, named Wu Yi, responded impatiently.
"Dad, where's my mom?" Yun Wenwen happily circled around the camphor tree in front of the house and asked happily.
The camphor tree was brought back from the school tree planting project when Yun Wenwen was in the first grade of elementary school.
She would never think that taking a tree home is stealing, just like Kong Yiji "stealing books cannot be considered stealing." If she helps the school plant trees, taking one, can it be considered stealing?
"I don't know, I'm so surprised." Wu Yi hummed.
"Dad, I'm going to town to take the high school entrance examination tomorrow. I'll graduate after the exam." The girl said happily after seeing that the tree she planted had grown taller again.
"Just take the exam. What do you want to say to me? I'm going to drink. When your mother comes back, tell her to fry a plate of peanuts for lunch. I want to drink." The man said in a rude tone.
"Dad, I have to pay the exam fee for the exam tomorrow. All other students have paid it." Yun Wenwen's voice became a little cautious.
"Drink, it turns out you didn't come back to work, but came back to ask for money. I thought you took leave and came back to help with the work. Do you want money? By the way, the cocoons on the tree are ripe. Go pick them off and sell them tomorrow.
I'll give it to you." Wu Yi suddenly raised an eighth note.
"Dad, I have the exam tomorrow and it's too late to sell cocoons. Can you give me the money? When I come back after the exam, I'll catch fish for you to drink." Yun Wenrou said flatteringly.
The wind has picked up, and the wind has penetrated into the sunshine.
"Go away, go pick the cocoon, damn it, I was almost fooled by you." Wu Yi roared.
"Dad-" Yun Wenwen begged in a long tone.
"Go away and pick the cocoons. You are not allowed to eat until you finish picking them." Wu Yi was unmoved.
"Bump!" The door was slammed with a loud bang, the thin mud wall trembled, and Yun Wenwen also trembled.
Wu Yi came out of the room cursing. He still looked like a handsome old man, but when he heard the cursing words in his mouth, his image was completely ruined.
"Dad, don't buy wine. Give me the money to pay the exam fee. Dad, okay? Dad, please!" Yun Wenrou followed closely and walked out without giving up.
She looked at her father pleadingly with her big eyes open, her long and curled eyelashes flickering, and her dark eyes filled with a little water.
Wu Yi turned around and wanted to scold his daughter angrily. He looked at her tearful eyes, paused, turned around and walked out without saying a word.
"Dad, Dad, don't buy wine, okay? Wait until you have money after selling the cocoon, okay? Can you give me the money you have to pay for the exam fee? Dad -" Yun Wenrou followed Wu Yi and reached out.
Pulling on the corner of his father's clothes, a look of pleading appeared on his pretty and cute face.
Wu Yi threw away his daughter's hand and strode forward. Yun Wenwen had no choice but to trot behind.
"Dad, dad, dad..." Yun Wenrou kept shouting.
"What are you shouting for? Shouting!" Wu Yi turned around and cursed, then walked faster.
"Dad, Dad, where is the money for the exam? I can't take the exam if I don't have money! Dad, please!" Yun Wenwen followed her father closely and begged.
"Take the test, take the test, it's a crappy test, you can't afford me the money to drink, no way!" Wu Yi yelled angrily.
"Dad, Dad, don't buy any wine today and skip one meal, okay? Just use the wine money to pay my exam fee!" Yun Wenrou prayed.
Wu Yi stopped and turned around angrily. Yun Wenrou also stopped urgently and looked at his father timidly.
"Go back! If you follow me again, I'll see if I don't beat you up." After Wu Yi yelled, he turned around and left.
Yun Wenwen shrank her neck in fear, looked at her father's back as he walked away, bit her lips lightly with her teeth, looked at the man walking away unwillingly, stamped her feet suddenly, and started running again.
"Dad, dad, dad..."
When Wu Yi walked to the bend of the mountain, he heard the sound coming closer and closer behind him. He got angry and broke a tree branch nearby, and looked at his daughter who was chasing him fiercely.
"Yun Wenrou, are you so fucking brave? How dare you disobey me!" Wu Yi roared, raised the tree stick in his hand, and whipped his daughter's legs hard.
Although Yun Rouwen dodged left and right, she still received several blows on her legs.
"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you beating the child? Are you drunk and crazy again?" A woman came out of the corner and shouted when she saw this.
"Why don't I beat my baby?" Wu Yi said angrily, dropped the tree stick in his hand, threatened his daughter not to follow him anymore, and left angrily.
"Gentle, you child, why are you so stupid? Your father won't run away even if he hits you, ugh! Are you hurt?" The woman looked distressed and stepped forward to hold the girl's trousers to check.
"Aunt, it's okay, it just hurts a little. Dad was just scaring me." Yun Rouwen took a step back, avoiding the woman's hand.
"Well, you are a good boy. Your father is so blessed that he has such a beautiful, obedient, and well-educated daughter, but he still soaks in wine bottles every day, and beats people when he is drunk. I don't know.
What can you say?" The woman touched Yun Wenwen's head, said lovingly, shook her head, and left.
Yun Wenrou rolled up her trousers. Under the sun, a few bruises on her legs looked like caterpillars crawling on her legs. She gently put down her trousers, tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and walked towards her father stubbornly.
Wu Yi arrived at the small shop in the village and said, "Uncle Zhang, bring me half a catty of wine."
The shop owner smiled and said, "After you finish the wine you bought yesterday, you won't save some. Let's make a deal first. I won't sell it if I don't have money."
"Haha, don't worry, we won't do it on credit this time." Wu Yi slapped the five yuan on the counter.
"Dad, Dad, don't drink today, okay? Pay me the exam fee first, Dad -" Yang Susu rushed over panting, saw the money on the counter, and reached out to take it.
"Pah!" Wu Yi slapped the hand that was reaching for the money, pinched the money in his hand with his backhand, and shouted angrily: "Isn't that a light slap? You dare to follow me? Are you too brave?"
"Hey, Wu Yi, why are you angry at the child?" The shop owner, who was holding a bottle and preparing to drink, stood up and scolded.
"Wen Wenwen, isn't it class time today? Are you called back to work by your dad again?" The store owner smiled and talked to Yun Wenrou.
"Uncle, no. The high school entrance exam is tomorrow and school is on holiday today." Yun Wenrou said to the shop owner with a sweet smile.
"The high school entrance examination, you will graduate from junior high school soon. Are you sixteen yet?" the shop owner asked with a smile, and grabbed a few pieces of fructose and handed them to Yun Wenrou, "Come, uncle, treat you to some candies. I wish you the best."
You will get good grades in the exam tomorrow."
"Thank you, uncle, I am just sixteen years old this year." Yun Wenrou took the candy and thanked her obediently.
"Okay, you've grown up so quickly. Wu Yi, I'm not telling you, my daughter is back, buy a canned fish and give it to her, and it won't be too late to drink wine later," the shop owner advised.
Wu Yi said angrily: "I don't even have to eat, she is a girl, she can eat whatever she wants." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Yun Wenrou followed the chase out the door, shouting: "Dad, dad, dad——"
"Hey, stop yelling, he must have gone to the commune to buy wine." The shop owner sighed.
