In mid-June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Where there is a sun, it is like a fireplace, and where there is no sun, it is like a steamer, and even the most diligent people are lazy and unwilling to move much, after all, if they move, they will be soaked.

One day, Dong'er and her father were enjoying the shade under the grape trellis in their yard, Dong'er tried to make up a grasshopper cage, and Wan Kezhou was tasting a sour plum soup with ice, Yang Chen came in from outside, wiping his sweat and shouting: "Uncle Wan, I'm sorry, I brought you a bad news today." ”

Wan Kezhou saw that Yang Chen's face was covered with sweat, and the top of his head was full of white gas, so he sat down first, and Dong'er poured him a cup of herbal tea. Yang Chen stretched his neck and drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth after drinking, put the bowl down, and then said:

"Uncle Wan, Dong'er girl, Uncle Liu went back from our house yesterday and suffered from heat stroke, this old man is old, his body is really not resistant to tossing, it was just heat stroke, and then it caused other weak diseases, the doctor of the medicine hall instructed him to only recuperate at home, and he can no longer go out to bump and get heat, Uncle Liu is worried that the foot treatment of the Dong'er girl can not be interrupted, so our son-in-law discussed with the old lady, and wanted to take the girl to our house for treatment every day from tomorrow, and the old lady agreed very happily, although Uncle Liu was weak, But there is still some strength in the bones, but I don't know if Uncle Wan and Miss Dong'er are willing to run over there. ”

When Dong'er heard this, she was a little flustered in her heart, turned her head to look at her father, and waited for her father to make a decision.

Wan Kezhou looked at Dong'er a little panicked, deliberately teasing his daughter, while looking at his daughter, he replied to Yang Chen: "Since Uncle Liu is old and frail, then we won't let him go back and forth, the ugly daughter-in-law will have to see her in-laws sooner or later, go early and go late, go early and pass this hurdle early, so as not to ponder all day long." ”

Dong'er was a little reluctant, but there was no good way, so she had to nod: "Everything is arranged by my father." ”

Yang Chen got the right word, relieved, Wan Kezhou let him have lunch before leaving, this kid said that his son-in-law let him get the right word and go back immediately, without delay, Wan Kezhou did not force him to stay.

After Yang Chen left, Dong'er was a little restless, so he went back to his house, Wan Kezhou thought for a while, and chased after him.

Dong'er was sitting at the round table in front of the bed, feeling uncomfortable, Wan Kezhou sat down on the stool next to her: "What's wrong?" Child, nervous or scared? ”

"Dad, it's neither, I just feel that my leg hasn't fully recovered, and I'm afraid they will laugh."

Wan Kezhou smiled gently, he took his daughter's hand and encouraged her: "Child, you should think so, although I still have a little regret today, I will be radiant tomorrow, as long as your feet are good, then you are jade and gold, white and flawless, they can only envy you." ”

Dong'er was very shy to be praised by her father, and she smiled shyly and asked her father: "Dad, am I that good?" At most, it's just a perfect person, where does the light come from? I'm not the pearl of the night. ”

Wan Kezhou planned to go back on the road of touting his daughter, and continued to praise: "How can my daughter be a little pearl of the night, my daughter is the sun, and her father's future days will be bright." I'm afraid that tomorrow we will go to the Yang Mansion, and the people in the Yang Mansion will have to cover their eyes with their hands, otherwise their eyes will be blinded. ”

The anxiety in Dong'er's heart was swept away by her father's words, and she asked with a smile: "Daddy, don't you care at all that we go to Yang's house first, instead of them coming to our house first?" ”

"Child, Uncle Liu, as an old servant of the Yang Mansion, has been treating your foot disease for almost two months without collecting a penny, and every day people take the initiative to come to our house to practice medicine, so it makes sense that we should all go to the door to thank you, but because they are men, we are women, I don't want to take too much initiative, Uncle Liu has given us a chance to get sick this time, and we will come to thank them."

"Daddy will definitely accompany me tomorrow?"

"How can I not accompany you, Daddy wishes you could find your next home quickly, someone will accompany you, I can get out and go to the mountains and rivers in the same chic way as Li Taibai."

Dong'er pouted and said angrily: "I said just now that I am the sun, and now I am compared to a cage, which is really contradictory." ”

Wan Kezhou looked at his daughter's still immature face, pouting and "angry", and had mixed feelings in his heart: "Child, to tell you a word from my heart, my father has no power and power, and he is not a dignitary, and he has not been able to raise your value, I already feel ashamed of you, and I can pull down a face for you to go to Yang Mansion to thank you." ”

Father is so sincere, Dong'er is a little unhappy, she put one hand on her father's shoulder, stroked, comforted: "Dad, don't think so, for so many years, there are two people in the family, dad and child, dad likes quiet and elegant, how can I not like the fun of seclusion in the city." The reason why I don't care about being Yang Jiqing's outer room is actually a big and selfish -------"

Wan Kezhou looked at his daughter in amazement, he couldn't believe how selfish his daughter could be at the age of twenty-eight.

Dong'er looked at her father's surprised eyes, hesitated for a moment, and honestly confessed: "I don't actually want to live the life of a big family, I just want to live a small family outside." If you do the main room, you have to cater to your in-laws, and you have to control the slaves, and you have to worry about the countless complicated and trivial things of that huge family every day. ”

Wan Kezhou was really relieved to hear his daughter confess "a big and big selfishness", and sighed: "Child, if you belittle your wishes to selfishness, then the father's selfishness will be even heavier. ”

The surprised expression of the same style as her father reappeared on Dong'er's face.

Wan Kezhou lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "Since you reached the age of talking about marriage, I have always wanted to find a door-to-door son-in-law for you, so that you can stay with your father for the rest of your life. But I am afraid that the person who is in love with you will not accept such a request from my father, but will delay your marriage, so I have never dared to tell you what I think in my heart. Since you have encountered such an opportunity now, it can be regarded as an opening of God's eyes, following your wishes, your house does not need to be found, just live in our house, I raise you as if raising a son, not separated from you, not only you, but even your children are happy under my knees, such a beautiful thing, I have dreamed many times. ”

After listening to her father's words, Dong'er's heart was full of surprise and emotion, she couldn't help but throw herself into her father's arms, hung her arms around her father's neck, put her face against her father's chin, rubbed his beard as much as she could, and complained happily: "Dad, why didn't you say it earlier, I thought you would really dislike me if I stayed at home?" ”

Wan Kezhou also hugged his daughter and said happily: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, in the future, whoever is in the neighborhood will say in front of our grandfather that the girl is not in the middle, and we will keep him and stay as an enemy, we will blast him out and stop dealing with them." ”

Dong'er was happier, and hugged his father harder, the weather was really hot, Wan Kezhou tried his best to "loosen" himself, he broke his daughter's arm, wanted to push her away, and shouted while breaking: "No, no, keep your distance, keep your distance, this moment of effort, you have already sweated out of me." ”

Dong'er refused to let go, hung on his father's neck and was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Daddy doesn't say that I am the sun, if I am the sun, you have to be not afraid of the heat." ”

Wan Kezhou hung his arms helplessly, gave up struggling, and muttered: "Okay, okay, let's just cover the maggots here, cover them hard." ”

Oh my God, it's really hot.
