In summer, the days are long and the nights are short.
No matter how long the day is, there is always an evening. When dusk comes, tired birds return to their nests, cattle and sheep return to their pens, people who have worked hard all day come back from get off work, and those who do farm work finish their work one after another.
When Lele's dad got off work, he looked at his cell phone again and shook his head helplessly. Lele's little cotton-padded jacket didn't call him for two days, and he didn't know which nook and corner he went to play in and forgot about the day. When there is a good boy at home, he is a treasure. When he is let out, he is like a treasure.
He deeply felt what it meant to be worried and entangled with the wild horse girl. The girl was so bold that he couldn't even accept it.
Confused in my heart, I got on my electric tricycle and went home.
Zhou Qiufeng came back from the fields and washed her hands and feet in the ditch outside. When she saw my mother looking outside the door, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "Mom, what are you looking at?"
"I haven't heard Lele speak for several days. It feels so weird." Grandma Zhou glanced at Lele's house and was filled with wonder. Lele came here on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, but she didn't see the child in the next few days.
I don’t know where I went.
"You can just ask Brother Le." Zhou Qiufeng answered casually. She was busy transporting fertilizers to the fields these days. She left early and came back late, rarely at home. Moreover, she had been thinking about what Lele said about looking for a new mother.
I am a bit distracted from external affairs.
"Yeah." Grandma Zhou agreed and wanted to turn around and go home. She heard the sound of the car hitting the ground. She looked towards the village road and saw an old tricycle coming back. She immediately walked towards Lejia: "Yueqing is back.
I'll ask him where Xiao Lele went."
Zhou Qiufeng opened her mouth to say, "Go, go, go." When she looked up and saw Yueqing approaching Lejia, she was stunned and involuntarily pricked up her ears.
Dad Le drove the car outside his home and saw Grandma Zhou coming straight towards him. He braked quickly and called "Auntie".
"Hey, Yueqing, where is your Lele? I wanted to ask her to help me thread the needle during the day today, but I couldn't find anyone after calling for a long time." Grandma Zhou responded with a smile. You said that the mother-in-law is looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes her.
, the same is true for her. The more she looks at Yueqing, the more she feels that she is a perfect match for her daughter.
"Auntie, look for Lele. Lele is not at home. She went into the mountains to study medicinal materials." Le's father is an honest man, so he will say whatever he wants.
"Ah?"
Two surprised screams sounded at the same time, one from Grandma Zhou and one from Zhou Qiufeng. Both mother and daughter were shocked by the answer.
Grandma Zhou almost jumped up: "Oh my god, Lele ran into the mountains again? Why hasn't he come back yet? It's almost dark."
Dad Le heard two screams and saw Zhou Qiufeng outside the Zhou family's house. Thinking of Lele's words, the tips of his ears burned. He was shocked by Grandma Zhou's panicked tone. He quickly looked away and hurriedly replied: "Lelechu
I went into the mountains on the sixth day and stayed there for several days."
His girl lied to him, saying she had been there for three to five days, but this was already the fourth day, and he hadn’t seen anyone yet. The girl didn’t mean what she said, and Le’s father was very depressed.
"You went into the mountains on the sixth day of the lunar month? Today is the tenth day of the lunar month. Have you been there for so many days? Did you call me?" Grandma Zhou was very anxious.
"I called two days ago and said that I was going to a place with no signal. I won't be able to contact you for a few days. Auntie, don't worry, Lele knows what's going on and she will take care of herself."
As a father, Lele's father is also worried and has to appease Grandma Zhou. The neighbors' concern for Lele is the kindness of others. There is no reason for others to worry about him.
"What are you talking about? Men are just careless. You don't even think about how old Lele is. You are willing to let her run into the mountains alone. What can I say about you? It's really worrying..."
Listening to Grandma Zhou's scolding, Lele's father listened honestly. After she finished speaking, he murmured: "Auntie, you know that Lele has a stubborn temper, and everything she decides is worthless."
I couldn't pull her back, and she said I didn't agree. She ran away in the middle of the night without calling me or telling me where she was. How could I stop her?"
"This is really something Xiao Lele can do. When Lele calls back, you have to urge her to come back quickly. It's not safe in the deep mountains and old forests..."
Grandma Zhou nagged her for a long time before returning home. When she went to bed at night, she chatted a lot about Yueqing's difficulties and Lele's sensibleness, etc., saying that she decided to be a matchmaker, and when Lele came back, she would
She went to ask Lele who was the new mother in the picture. No matter what, she shamelessly asked the woman what she meant, and then fell asleep.
She slept soundly, but Zhou Qiufeng couldn't sleep. One moment she thought of what my mother said about Lele helping her father as a matchmaker, and the next moment she thought of what my mother said when Lele came back, she would ask Lele who she wanted to be as her new mother.
Sometimes I think about Brother Le and the Le family, now I think about this, now I think about that, my mind is full of thoughts, turning over and over again, and I can't sleep for half the night.
It started to rain the next day.
It is rainy in spring and summer, and it is normal for it to rain every now and then. In the past few days, God has been kind to me, and it has been either sunny or cloudy. Even if there is an occasional drizzle, it does not delay the work of the farmers in the fields. Therefore, the villagers have also planted sweet potatoes.
Herbicides have also been sprayed on the fields, so even if it rains, it will have no impact on farm work.
It probably didn’t rain a few days ago, and God has accumulated a lot of sadness. Not long after the rain started in the morning, it fell from the sky like a splash with a basin. The water became deeper and deeper, and the river also
It’s rising.
Lele's father's heart was in a mess. With such a heavy rain, is Lele trapped in the mountains? Is there anything to eat? Will he get wet or cold?
A father is the backer behind every child. He may be silent or not good at expressing himself, but his love for his children is never less than that of a mother.
Dad Le is dull and talkative on the outside, but delicate and gentle on the inside. He has been a father and a mother for more than ten years. His whole person is like the tea leaves in the water when making tea, always floating up and down. When it is hot, he is afraid that the child will be hot or cold.
Afraid of getting cold, afraid of being bullied when not around him, not to mention dangerous things like running into the mountains for a walk, it’s weird that he can rest assured.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped and it was still wet.
Dad Le had been worried for a long time, and finally got some comfort in the middle of the afternoon. His little cotton-padded jacket sent him a text message! Even if he didn't call, at least he knew that he was safe, and his uneasy heart could feel more at ease.
As for the child's return date, he no longer holds out the hope that she will come back on time. As soon as Xiao Lele enters the mountains, she is like a bird returning to the forest. If she doesn't play enough, she will probably be reluctant to go home. He only hopes that the little cotton-padded jacket can take care of her by herself.
Okay, just don’t go hungry and stay cold.
Everyone has a bottom line. In front of his children, Le's father's bottom line is getting lower and lower. In the past, he hoped that the children would be obedient and not fight. Later, he only hoped that when the children fight, they would not lose a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to themselves. When the children go into the mountains,
In the past, he hoped that she would come back on time, but now he just hopes that she will not get hurt. Looking at the past and thinking about the present, if this development continues, his bottom line will probably be as low as possible.
