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 and biting it hard, making her cheeks bulge. Lao Gao looked angry.
Le’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. He took a sneak peek and saw that Lele His face was filled with anger, and 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, she strongly objected because a girl went to the mountains to see Mrs. Lin. Danger.
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 became angry from 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 almost too old to understand, is playing the news network with the sound turned up loudly. Small.
The sound of the TV is low, but the sound of Classmate Le chewing cucumber is particularly loud.
As a father who watches his children grow up, Lele’s father is well aware of his daughter Lele’s little temper. The little cotton-padded jacket is very stubborn. What she decides is not just a nine-headed cow, but a nine-headed tiger. He couldn't pull her back, he was really afraid that she would run away secretly, and he would be even more worried then.
"Lele, Lele, little cotton-padded jacket, daddy's good 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. He lowered his stance and called him his usual nickname.
"Little Cotton 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, He looked like he would rather die than surrender.
Le’s father’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that this child has had his own opinions since he was a child. His temperament followed him and his father’s, and he was stubborn and stubborn. His father said that the child’s personality was too strong and he always taught him in a gentle way. I'm afraid of being like him, upright and easy to break.
"Okay, I agree. I agree, isn't it okay?" Le's father was afraid. Really, he was afraid that his child would run away in anger and would not call or contact him. He was the one who was worried. , if he agrees, at least Lele will inform him so that he knows what to do.
"Dad, you are a good dad. Lele loves daddy 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, Leyun She jumped up with cheers and rushed to her father's side to act coquettishly. She knew that her father would be tough and not soft, so it would be easy if she had a tougher attitude.
For his stubborn daughter, Le's father is helpless. Look at his girl, she looked angry and had a grudge against him just now. When he stepped back, she immediately lost her face. He was so flattering, but felt very useful to his child's flattery, and had to put on a serious expression to negotiate terms with her, demanding that she tell her her itinerary, etc.
Bargain,After some bargaining, the father and daughter finally 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 touched two cucumbers by the way. He originally thought that cucumbers were grown by people in the village. After tasting it, I found that it was just like tomatoes, crispy and delicious, making people want to eat it again.
Le’s father was shocked. He wondered whether he should tell County Magistrate Tang about the news in the middle of the night. When he woke up, he temporarily put the problem behind him and thought about his daughter going into the mountains. After dinner, when he saw his child getting ready to leave, he was filled with worry again.
The place his girl wants to go is not an ordinary mountain, but the most famous Shennong Mountain in the province. There are virgin forests there and there are places that even explorers have not been able to set foot in until now.
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 medicine through a combination of practice and teaching. Knowledge.
Although Lele has been dealing with medicinal materials and mountains since she was a child, she is only fourteen years old now, and a child like her has to go to places like Shennong alone to collect medicinal specimens and other things. As a father, Lele Dad is really worried about it.
Le Yun proposed to tie her backpack to the back seat of her bicycle. Her backpack was the canvas bag she used to carry her luggage. The style was a bit outdated, but the function was excellent. It was waterproof and more importantly, sturdy and average. Even thorns can't tear it apart. As for the luggage, it only consists of 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 2000s. , can still be used today, which shows how reliable the quality of the original electrical products was.
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 take all the tomatoes and cucumbers with you and 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 had many cautious suggestions. Bring something to eat.
"No need, Dad, the spring water in Shennong Mountain is cleaner than the mineral water, so there is no need to bring water. You don't have to save tomatoes, just eat them by yourself, don't worry about your little cotton-padded jacket, I miss you back then. When the girl was four years old, she stayed alone in the mountains for seven days without incident. Now that she has grown up, she knows better how to take care of herself and what is the safest way. "
Let's talk about what Le Yun did when she was a child. The most memorable feat is of course that when she was four years old, she went up the mountain with her grandfather. Then she got lost, and she was lost for seven days. When she was found, she was already in the back mountain of the next town.
Le’s father was still frightened when he mentioned what happened ten years ago. When Lele was lost, they were in despair and thought they had lost their child forever. Fortunately, God showed mercy and little Lele came back safely.
“That was different. You didn’t go there then.It's Shennong Mountain. "
"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 If you are half-hearted and distracted at work, it will be fine if your attendance is deducted. But if your year-end bonus is deducted every year, the loss will be huge. ”
“I understand. You must also remember to call if you have signal and let me know where you are.” "Being told back by his own child, Le's dad felt sweet and sour in his heart.
Father and daughter told each other again, Le Yun pushed out her bicycle, climbed into the car outside, waved her little hand to her father, be happy As Le sets off, Le’s father reluctantly watches his child off with worry, watching her go further and further away
