Chapter 35: Eat Hard, Not Soft

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 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.

, looking angry.

Lele's father was holding two tomatoes. He was determined to ignore his girl. When he heard the sound of the child chewing cucumber, his heart trembled. When he took a peek, Lele's face was filled with anger.

, his heart was beating wildly, becoming more and more unsure.

The reason for the quarrel between father and son is very simple. During dinner, Le Yun told her father that she would go into the mountains to collect medicinal specimens tomorrow. When Le Yun heard this, her father strongly objected because it was too dangerous for a girl to run 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 decision of the other. They started getting angry at the dinner table and remained in a stalemate until after the meal.

The door has been closed long ago, mugwort leaves are burned in the room to ward off mosquitoes. Le's color TV, which is three years older than Mr. Le and is almost too old to understand, is playing the news broadcast with a low volume.

The sound of the TV is low, but the sound of Classmate Le chewing cucumber is 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 still go by myself." Le Yun frowned, as if 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.

I will inform him if I am happy enough to let him know.

"Dad, you are a good dad. Lele loves dad the most. Don't worry, your little cotton-padded jacket has known 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 dad, she will know whether he is tough or not soft, so if she doesn't have a tough attitude, she will be fine.

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. As soon as he stepped back, she immediately started to flatter him shamelessly.

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 ate tomatoes with peace of mind. After eating two, he felt that it was not enough, so he went to pick up two more, and by the way, he touched two cucumbers. He originally thought that cucumbers were in the village.

The kind grown by others, after tasting it, I found that it is just like tomatoes, crispy and delicious, making people want to eat it.

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 his child getting ready to set off, he was filled with worries again.

The place his girl wants to go is not an ordinary mountain, but the most famous Shennong Mountain in the province, where there are virgin forests and places that even explorers have not been able to set foot in.

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 the early 2000, and it is still in use 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 tomatoes and cucumbers, you can use them as water to drink." Seeing the child neatly tying his luggage, Lele's father did not dare to say any unlucky words, and cautiously suggested bringing more food.

"No, dad, the spring water in Shennong Mountain is cleaner than the mineral water. There is no need to bring water. You don't have to save the tomatoes. Eat them by yourself. Don't worry about your little cotton-padded jacket. I remember when your girl was four years old.

I stayed 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 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 next town.

Mentioning what happened ten years ago, Lele's father was still frightened. When Lele was lost, they were in despair, thinking that they had lost their child forever. Fortunately, God had mercy on him, 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 and detained for being distracted at work,

Perfect attendance is fine, but if the 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 gave each other instructions again. Le Yun pushed out her bicycle, climbed into the car outside, waved her little hands to her father, and set off happily. Le's father reluctantly watched his child off with worry, watching her go further and further away.
