While the Zhou family's mother and daughter were talking about marriage, the Le family's father and daughter were staring at each other, no, they were sulking. Le Yun was holding a cucumber, biting it hard, and her cheeks were bulging.
He looked angry.
Lele's father was holding two cucumbers. He was determined to ignore his girl. Hearing the sound of the child chewing cucumber, his heart trembled. When he took a peek, Lele was tensed up with anger.
With a face on his face, his heart was beating wildly, getting unsteady.
The reason for the quarrel between father and son was very simple. During dinner, Le Yun told her father that she would go into the mountains to collect medicinal specimens tomorrow. Le Yun's father strongly opposed it because it was too dangerous for a girl to go deep into the mountains and old forests.
One insisted on going, the other firmly opposed. The father and daughter each had their own opinions, and no one could change the other's decision. They started getting angry at the dinner table and remained in a stalemate until after the meal.
The door had been closed long ago, mugwort leaves were burned in the room to ward off mosquitoes. Le's color TV, which was three years older than Mr. Le's classmate and almost too old to understand, was playing a news broadcast with a low volume.
The sound of the TV was low, but the sound of Classmate Le chewing cucumber was particularly loud.
As a father who has watched his children grow up, Lele’s father is well aware of his daughter Lele’s little temper. The little cotton-padded jacket has a very stubborn temper. Not to mention the nine-headed ox, even the nine-headed tiger cannot hold back what she decides. He really
He was afraid that she would run away secretly, which would make him even more worried.
"Lele, Lele, little cotton-padded jacket, daddy's cute little cotton-padded jacket..." Lele's father was worried and called the girl by her nickname in a soft tone. After calling him a few words, she still ignored him, and his posture became even lower.
, call him his commonly used nickname.
"Little cotton-padded jacket is still angry. I didn't hear what you said. Please don't negotiate with me. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you don't agree, I will go anyway." Le Yun frowned, looking like she would rather die than surrender.
Dad Le's heart skipped a beat when he knew this! The child has been independent since he was a child, and his temperament has followed his and his father's. He is stubborn and stubborn. His father said that the child has a strong personality and has always taught him in a gentle way, fearing that he would be like him.
Straight and easy to break.
"Okay, I agree, isn't it okay if I agree?" Le's father was afraid. Really, he was afraid that his child would run away in anger and not call or contact him. He would still be the anxious one. If he agreed, at least Le would be happy.
If you are happy, you will inform him so that he knows what to do.
"Dad, you are a good dad. Lele loves dad the most. Don't worry, your little cotton-padded jacket has known the mountains and rivers since he was a child. He will not be in danger." Dad compromised, and Leyun jumped up in cheers and threw herself at him.
If she acts coquettishly around her father, she will know whether he is tough or not soft, so if she doesn't have a tough attitude, it will be settled.
Father Le is helpless when it comes to his stubborn daughter. Look at his girl, she looked so angry and had a grudge against him just now. When he stepped back, she immediately started flattering him shamelessly. For the child's
Flattery, he felt very useful, and he had to put on a serious expression to negotiate terms with her, demanding that she tell her the itinerary, etc.
Bargaining, haggling, and finally the father and daughter reached an agreement. Le's father also gnawed the red pomelo with peace of mind. After eating two, he felt that it was not enough, so he went to pick up two more and touched two cucumbers by the way. He originally thought they were cucumbers.
It's the kind that people grow in the village. After trying it, I found it was just like the red tangerine, crispy and delicious, making people want to eat it again.
Le's father was shocked. He wondered whether he should tell Magistrate Tang about the news in the middle of the night. When he woke up, he put the problem behind him for the time being, thinking about his daughter going into the mountains. After dinner,
Seeing the child getting ready to come out, he was filled with worry again.
The place his girl wanted to go was not an ordinary mountain, but the most famous Shennong Mountain in the province, where there were virgin forests and places that even explorers had not been able to set foot in so far.
In the past, in order to train Lele, his father would take Lele to the mountains every year when she was very young to collect medicines, observe the habits of medicinal materials, and teach children medical knowledge through a combination of practice and teaching.
Although Lele has been dealing with medicinal materials and mountains since she was a child, she is only fourteen years old now. Just a child like her has to go to a place like Shennong alone to collect medicinal specimens and so on. As a father, Lele’s father really has 10,000
One hundred million people are worried.
Le Yun proposed to tie the backpack to the back seat of the bicycle. Her backpack was the canvas bag she used to carry luggage. The style was a bit outdated, but the function was excellent. It was waterproof and more importantly, it was strong and could not be damaged by ordinary thorns.
As for the luggage, it is just a raincoat, long-sleeved thick clothes, rubber shoes, a small hoe, a short hatchet, as well as some bread and other supplies.
In addition to the backpack, there is a point-and-shoot camera hanging around my neck. The camera is slightly younger than Le’s old TV, and still older than Le’s classmate. It was also bought by Grandpa Le in early 2000, and it can still be used today. It can be seen that
The quality of electrical products back then was so reliable.
The bicycle was a means of transportation when I was in middle school. I didn’t ride it much when I went to the county town in high school. I oiled it and maintained it, and it still works today.
"Lele, you'd better bring all the cucumbers and cucumbers to drink as water." Seeing the child neatly tying up his luggage, Lele's father did not dare to say anything unlucky and cautiously suggested bringing more food.
"No, Dad, the spring water in Shennong Mountain is cleaner than that in Mineral Mountain. There is no need to bring water with you. You don't have to save the water. You can eat it by yourself. Don't worry about your little cotton-padded jacket. I remember when your girl was four years old.
I stayed alone in the mountains for seven days without incident. Now that I have grown up, I know better how to take care of myself and what is the safest way."
The most memorable feat that Le Yun did as a child was of course that she went up the mountain with her grandfather when she was four years old. Then she got lost, and she was lost for seven days. By the time she was found, she had already
Go to the back mountain of the neighboring village.
Mentioning what happened ten years ago, Lele's father was still frightened. When Lele went missing, they were in despair and thought they had lost their child forever. Fortunately, God had mercy and little Lele came back safely.
"That's different. You weren't going to Shennong Mountain at that time."
"What's the difference? They are all mountains. Dad, just keep your heart in your stomach. Your little cotton-padded jacket promises to go and come back safely. You have to go to work with peace of mind. Don't be half-hearted. If you are caught wandering off at work, you will be detained.
It's okay if you have perfect attendance, but if your year-end bonus is deducted every year, the loss will be huge."
"I understand. You must also remember to call if there is a signal and let me know where you are." Being told back by his own child, Le's father felt sweet and sour in his heart.
The father and daughter exchanged instructions again. Le Yun pushed out her bicycle, climbed into the car outside, waved her little hands to her father, and walked out happily. Le Yun's father reluctantly watched his child off with worry, watching her go further and further away.
