Dad Le felt that he was hallucinating. No, he thought it must be that he was too worried about Little Cotton Jacket last night and was afraid that she would be unsafe at school and on the way back, so he didn't sleep well all night, so that it felt like he was dreaming in broad daylight.
Similar.
In a daze, I felt my arms being shaken violently. I subconsciously looked at the child sitting on my right, and my mind was still in a mess.
"Lele, what did you just say?"
"Dad, I said, please find me a new mother. I want a new mother." Le Yun blinked her clear eyes and pretended to be sweet: "Dad, good dad, do you agree?" "Lele, my father is in his forties. He is old and disabled. He cannot... and cannot help you find a new mother who is really good to you."
Lele's father finally understood that it was not his hallucination. His little cotton-padded jacket really wanted to persuade him to find another partner. The child had mentioned it before, and he only thought that she was young and ignorant. Maybe Lele really wanted a mother and father.
No matter how good you are, you can't give me the love that your mother gives you.
"Dad, what if someone is willing?" Le Yun hugged her father's arm and showed a pure and innocent smile.
"If someone doesn't dislike your father and is really nice to you, I...have nothing to say. Unfortunately, this is impossible. Lele, you'd better not want a new mother. My father is disabled. Our family
It’s completely innocent, and no one wants to come here and suffer.”
Dad Le couldn't bear to let his daughter down, and he had to dampen her enthusiasm. If he hadn't been lame, he might have been able to find a second wife to make ends meet. Such a disabled man couldn't lift his hands or shoulders, and he couldn't do heavy work in the fields.
, which woman is willing to be a stepmother is equivalent to shouldering the burden of supporting the family and working as a coward for the father and daughter. Do you think any woman would be that stupid?
"Dad, when Aunt Feng brought me back today, I met Zhang Jing's mother, Aunt Wu, in the village. She said that Aunt Feng and I were like a family together."
Lele's father's face changed: "Lele, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Some people in the village are talkative and always like to say ugly things. Just think of them as farting."
"Well, most of the time I think they are farting, but I still listened to what I said today. In fact, if Aunt Feng becomes my new mother, I will be happy. To be honest, Aunt Feng always takes care of us, even if we are neighbors.
It’s easy to attract gossip.”
Lele's father understood what the child meant, and his old face turned red: "Lele, don't think wrongly. Your Aunt Feng is kind-hearted and has always taken care of us. Don't imitate others who always think wrongly and misunderstand her good intentions. You Feng
Auntie is young, so it’s not that she can’t find a suitable person, but she is concerned about Grandma Zhou and doesn’t agree.”
"Dad, please be honest, if Aunt Feng doesn't hate being my new mother, are you willing to make do with Aunt Feng?"
Who is Le Yun? She used to know everything about fighting and scolding. From a young age to a brat, she was able to talk about people's worldliness and was unambiguous. She was also unambiguous when it came to being her father's matchmaker. Such a person is known as - cheeky. p>
Even though Le's father had lived for forty years, he was blushing with shame when his life was discussed by a child or a girl who was under eighteen years old.
Seeing her dad acting like that, Le Yun knew it. People say that love grows over time. Dad and Aunt Feng have known each other since childhood. They have been neighbors for so many years. Even if they didn't have love before, they probably have a good impression now.
Her father was a thin-skinned man, so Le Yun stopped chasing him and continued to eat, because she thought that her father might be able to settle down his whole life. She also ate very deliciously, even when her father forced her to drink.
"Realgar wine" doesn't taste unpleasant either.
The child no longer mentioned that problem, and Le's father was relieved. After the meal was cleared, the father and daughter tidied up the kitchen. When he saw his caring little cotton-padded jacket taking out a bag of things from her trolley suitcase and covering it in her arms,
Wandering about to go out, he quickly stopped her: "Lele, where are you going?"
"Dad, I'm going to see Grandma Zhou and Aunt Feng. Don't worry about me. When I get back, I'll plant potato vines in the back garden." Le Yun carried the tomatoes, made a face at her father, and ran out.
"This..." This little bastard!
Seeing the child jumping out of the house, Le's father's face was congested and stunned. He raised his head at noon and immediately went to check the wind. How much did the little cotton-padded jacket hope to sell her father?
At the beginning of May, the second batch of sweet potato seedlings has grown and can be transplanted. It rained a few days ago and stopped yesterday afternoon. The ground is drier today, so most people are rushing to cut and plant sweet potato vines. p>
Brother Zhou, his wife Zhou and Zhou Qiufeng also went to the fields, and even their children went to help. Grandma Zhou was cutting sweet potato vines at home. She heard someone calling her, and after searching for a while, she saw the children of the Le family entering the house.
The Zhou family has two houses, the upper house is still an old-fashioned brick and wood structure, and the lower house is a three-story small foreign-style building built later. There is a small patio in the middle of the upper and lower houses. The door opens to the north and south, which is the style of the south.
The courtyard house.
"Lele, did you do well in the exam? Are you nervous?" Seeing the smiling little girl, Grandma Zhou put down the scissors and the sweet potato vine in her hand, dragged the chair aside and talked to the child.
"I'm not nervous. I feel like I did well on the exam." Le Yun sat down next to Grandma Zhou, took out a juicy tomato and handed it to the old man: "Grandma Zhou, I want to talk to you about something serious.
Are you willing to listen?"
"Hey, you want to talk to me about big things, so you just want to bribe me with a tomato?" Grandma Zhou smiled with wrinkles all over her face, but she took it unceremoniously, wiped it with her skirt and started to bite it.
Say yes: "It's delicious, the same taste as last time."
Leyun was a little dizzy. What did this mean? She thought to herself and asked.
"Last time, your dad came back from the county town and said that you bought him very expensive tomatoes. He gave two to Qiufeng, and Qiufeng gave one to me. I ate it and thought it was very delicious. The taste today is the same as last time.
It has the same flavor, did you buy it at the same place?"
Grandma Zhou’s explanation made Le Yun want to cover her face. Last time, her father brought back three fruits, each with her teeth marks on them. He was able to give them away without blushing or out of breath. This shows that Dad
So cool.
As a result, she was extremely excited. It seemed that there was something going on between Aunt Feng and her father!
While the iron was hot, Le Yun immediately came to Grandma Zhou's side and discussed in a low voice: "Grandma Zhou, what I'm talking about is my dad's business. That's what it is. I really want a new mother.
But my dad is thin-skinned, and there are some things he won’t be able to say, so I’ll come to you..."
"You want me to... help your father be a matchmaker?" Grandma Zhou understood immediately. Her eyes behind her reading glasses were so wide that Lele was already worried about her father's marriage. Is this child really only fourteen years old?
