In summer, the days are long and the nights are short.
No matter how long the day is, there is still a time in the evening. When dusk comes, tired birds return to their nests, cattle and sheep return to their pens, people who have worked hard for a day also get off work, and those who do farm work finish their work one after another.
Lele’s dad looked at his mobile phone again after get off work, and shook his head helplessly. Lele’s little cotton-padded jacket hadn’t called him for two days, and he didn’t know which nook and corner he went to to play and forget about the days. There was a good boy at home. He was a treasure when he was young, but when he was released, the girl was like a wild horse. He deeply felt what it meant to be heartbroken and entangled. 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, filled with wonder. Lele came once 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 he went.
"You can just ask Brother Le." Zhou Qiufeng replied casually. She was busy transporting fertilizers to the fields these days. She left early and came back late. She was rarely at home. Moreover, she had been thinking about Le. Le said he was looking for a new mother, but he was a little distracted from external affairs.
"Yes." Grandma Zhou responded 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 Le Home "Yueqing is back. I'm going to ask him where Xiao Lele has gone."
Zhou Qiufeng opened her mouth to say, "Let's go, let's go." When she looked up and saw Yueqing approaching Lele's house, she was stunned. , his ears pricked up involuntarily.
Dad Le drove the car outside his home and saw Grandma Zhou coming straight towards him. He braked quickly and called out "Auntie".
"Hey, Yueqing, where's your Lele? I wanted to ask her to help me thread the needle during the day today, but I couldn't find anyone after shouting for a long time." Grandma Zhou responded with a smile. Youdao is the mother-in-law. The more she looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. The more she looked at Yueqing, the more she felt that he was a perfect match for her daughter.
"Auntie, you are looking for Lele. Lele is not at home. She went into the mountains to study medicinal materials." Le's father is an honest man and 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."
Lele's father heard this After two screams, he 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, "Lele will go into the mountains on the sixth day of the lunar new year." , I’ve been gone for several days.”
His girl lied to him and said, “It’s the fourth day since I left, and I haven’t seen him yet. The girl’s words don’t mean anything, and Le’s father is very depressed.” .
"I went to the mountains on the sixth day of the lunar month. Today is the tenth day of the lunar month. Have I called you after so many days?" 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 good care of herself."
As a person. 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 it. How old is Lele? You are willing to let her run into the mountains alone. What can I say about you? It's really annoying. "Afraid"
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. She said that I didn't agree with her decision. 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 that little 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 turning back. At home, when she went to bed at night, she chatted again and again about Yueqing's difficulties and Lele's sensibleness, etc., saying that she decided to be a matchmaker, and when Lele came back, she would ask Lele who she liked as a new mother. , no matter what, she shamelessly asked the woman what she meant, and then fell asleep.
She was sleeping soundly, but Zhou Qiufeng couldn't sleep. One moment she thought of what my mother said about Lele helping her dad as a matchmaker, and the next moment she remembered that she said she would ask Lele what she wanted when Lele came back. When you are a new mother, you will be thinking about Brother Le and the Le family, and you will be thinking about this and that, and your mind will be full of thoughts, turning over and over again, and you will have no sleep for half the night.
It started to rain the next day.
It is rainy in spring and summer. It rains every now and then. It is normal. God has been kind to us in the past few days. It is either sunny or cloudy. Even if there is an occasional drizzle, it will not delay the work of the farmers in the fields. Therefore, the countryside The people's sweet potatoes have also been planted, and herbicides have been sprayed on the fields. Even if it rains, it will have no impact on the farm work.
Probably because it didn’t rain a few days ago, God has accumulated a lot of sadness. Not long after the rain started in the morning, it was like pouring water from the sky, and it fell from the sky, accumulating water. Deeper and deeper, the river rises.
Lele’s father’s heart was in a knot. With such a heavy rain, did Lele have anything to eat while trapped in the mountains? Will he get wet or cold?
A father is the supporter 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 the mother.
Le’s father 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 sinking and floating when it is hot. He is afraid that the child will get hot, he will be cold if he is cold, and he will be bullied if he is not around him. Not to mention the dangerous things like running into the mountains for a walk, it is strange that he can rest assured.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped, but it was still wet.
Le’s dad had been worrying about it for a long time, and finally got some in the middle of the afternoon.Xu comforted him. 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. Once little Lele enters the mountains, she is like a bird returning to the forest. She will probably be reluctant to go home if she doesn't have enough fun. He only hopes that she will return on time. The little cotton-padded jacket can take good care of herself, as long as she doesn't get hungry or cold.
Everyone has a bottom line. When it comes to children, Dad Le’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 the children would not defeat the enemy a thousand times when they fight. The damage was 800. Before the child went into the mountains, he hoped that she would come back on time. Now he just hopes that she would not get hurt. Looking at the past and thinking about the present, if this development continues, his bottom line will probably be lowered to nothing.
