Cheng Yuanxi shook his head in amusement, "I heard it when I heard it. It's good for you to know something earlier, but you are not allowed to talk outside. The girl's mother-in-law wants to be a lady, and she must be virtuous. Don't make irresponsible remarks. Just be clear in your heart. .”
"Listen to your father, he is right." Chen Daya nodded in agreement.
Mingyi nodded repeatedly, "I understand, parents, hurry up and leave; I'm already hungry. I'll feed you Yiyi first and then preach. Please."
"Okay, okay, I'll be more and more coquettish." The mother-in-law tapped her daughter's forehead, helpless to her.
"Then what can we do? Parents are used to it. Let's go quickly."
Chen Daya brought a portion of the dug wild vegetables, and Cheng Yuanxi held the rest. The couple returned to the pool with their daughter.
Cheng Mingli picked the wild vegetables, washed them, dried them aside, and put them together with the wild vegetables that had been dried before. He wiped his hands and looked up to see his parents and sister back, with a smile on his face.
"Father, mother, sister, you are finally back."
"You also found a lot of wild vegetables." Chen Daya and his wife immediately saw the watery wild vegetables in front of him. A small piece of it was cleaned, which saved her the time of washing the wild vegetables.
"My sister and I discovered that there were many wild vegetables on the grass, many old and tender," Cheng Mingli said. "My parents, uncle and second uncle haven't come back yet."
Cheng Yuanxi looked around and saw the people who had returned to cook one after another, and said, "They should be here soon. You two wash and dry the wild vegetables we brought back, and father and mother go to cook."
"Okay." Cheng Mingli shook his head and took his sister to the water. He washed wild vegetables and let her play with stirring the water on the edge.
Mingyi held water and washed her face. The warm water splashed on her face to wash away the impurities, sweat and dust removed from the pores. After washing, she had nothing to do, so she moved closer to her brother.
"Brother, I'm going to find my mother."
"Mom is busy over there," Cheng Mingli said.
Mingyi raised her eyebrows, "I'm going to find mom to get some food. Aren't you hungry?"
"Hungry!" Cheng Mingli was so hungry that he was salivating. How could he not be hungry? "Then go quickly, take it out and let's eat it quietly; otherwise it won't be good for uncle and uncle when they come back."
Mingyi nodded in agreement and ran to find Chen Daya, "Mom, my brother and I are very hungry. Give us some dried meat to eat first."
"Take it by yourself. Just satisfy your hunger and fill your stomach. Don't take too much." Chen Daya waved her hand and asked her to go by herself.
Mingyi smiled and ran quickly towards the wooden shed where Cheng Yuanxi and his wife lived. When she saw the large bundle covered with luggage in the corner of the house, she opened the luggage and reached into the bundle to take out two handfuls of dried meat. .
Put it in your pocket, actually put it into the space.
Divide a handful into four parts, which is just one piece of jerky for each person; the size of the jerky is not large, about the thickness of an adult's finger.
"Father and mother, you guys eat too." One of them ran forward and stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth, then turned around and ran to his brother's side. He used his body to cover his view and stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth.
Cheng Mingli washed and ate at the same time, looking a little more childish and less polite like a scholar.
After eating a piece, Mingyi took one out of his pocket and gave it to him. At this moment, he had finished washing the wild vegetables. He simply sat on the ground with his back to the tribesmen who were coming back one after another, and he and his sister finished eating in twos and twos in the blind spot. .
"Okay, Yiyi, find a cool place to rest. Brother, let's go over after drying these wild vegetables." Cheng Mingli stood up.
"I'll help my brother."
Mingyi took the last bite into her mouth with a smile, and worked with him several times to dry the wet wild vegetables. After doing this, Cheng Mingli took her to wash her hands and go to enjoy the cool under the shady wooden shed.
When Cheng Mingyue came back with her mother, she saw Cheng Mingyi and her brother and sister sitting together, chatting and laughing, and her face immediately dropped; she felt like having a seizure, as if her face hurt, her body hurt, and everything hurt.
Simply out of sight and out of mind, he turned around and ran to meet Luo Cuihua.
Luo Cuihua smiled happily when she saw Cheng Mingyue being so well-behaved, "Thank you for your hard work, Yueyue."
"Grandma." Cheng Mingyue's face changed slightly. Why was she so hard? I just followed my mother around, but actually didn't do anything.
"Go and play with Yiyi. Grandma can't carry this thing." After Luo Cuihua said lovingly, Cheng Mingyue felt guilty for some reason.
Li Lianhua smiled with satisfaction and said to her husband: "Look, Yueyue is much more sensible."
"She is not sensible, she is afraid; only when you are afraid can you know what is good or bad." Cheng Yuandong understood clearly, "If she were really sensible, she would not be lazy today. Who can guarantee that there will be enough food on the way to escape? When I encounter a nice place like the valley and don’t know how to get more food back, I just look for opportunities to be lazy.”
"Anyway, Yueyue is already changing." Li Lianhua was also angry and ignored him.
Cheng Yuandong shook his head and sighed, taking a look at his residence, "You should also go and help with the cooking. You can't let the third brother and the third younger brother and sister work; they have already washed the wild vegetables and dried them, and I went to wash and dry them too."
This time Li Lianhua did not refute and walked towards Chen Daya.
"Third brother, I'll help the third brother and sister cook. You go and have a rest." Li Lianhua smiled heartily, as if she was not angry in front of Cheng Yuandong.
However, although Cheng Yuanxi, who watched the whole process, could not hear what they said, he knew that Li Lianhua was unhappy.
"Then it's hard work, sister-in-law." Cheng Yuanxi handed over the burden calmly and walked in the direction of his children, "Ming etiquette, etiquette."
"Dad." Mingyi said with a smile on her face, even though her face was tanned to a wheat color, she was still happy.
Cheng Mingli raised his head with a smile, "Dad, come over and rest your sweat."
Cheng Yuanxi sat next to his son, wiped the sweat from his and his daughter's faces, and said with distress, "You guys have been running outside for a long time, why didn't you come back with your cousin instead?"
"They were digging wild vegetables vigorously. My sister and I came back first when we were hungry. Dad, I don't know what happened. I felt uncomfortable hearing that my cousin and the others were taking care of us today." Cheng Mingli said dullly.
Mingyi knows that no one knows how to be submissive, and no one wants others to control them too much; when they don't understand their own heart, they will feel upset like Cheng Mingli.
To put it bluntly, you can't see your own heart clearly and don't know what state it is in. You can only rely on your instinctive habits to fight.
Once your mind is clear, your state will be different.
At that time, wisdom will naturally arise.
Cheng Yuanxi smiled and said: "You are growing up. You have your own ideas and are not willing to follow other people's ideas. Just do everything according to your own preferences and don't care too much. You can refuse things you don't want to do and don't want to hear them. You can fight back if you want, but you have to be reasonable, understand?"
"Whether we are resisting or rejecting, we must stand on the side of reason." He also came from a child, and he knew what he wanted since he was a child.
He would reasonably refuse his brothers' requests; he would never follow others' advice on things he didn't want to do. Naturally, he understood what his son's mentality was now.
