Chapter 12 Farewell to Parents and Running Away
Qingqing slept until dawn.
Daddy and mother were having breakfast, and the old man under the moon who came to the matchmaker was already waiting.
After the cleaning was completed, she issued an "eviction order" as soon as possible.
"Uncles and aunts, I understand your kindness, but I am still young and don't want to marry at all, please go back, even if you talk from early morning to dark, I will not be tempted!" Qingqing, in spite of the anger in her heart—the hateful man who had made her angry and hated last night, she thought to herself: If she were a weak girl, wouldn't she ruin the innocence of the family? Fortunately, he was "an evil god", but Qingqing was born in a "scholarly" family, and he had to maintain the image of a lady in ten miles and eight towns.
She "kindly and politely" sent away many matchmakers.
Poor and rich, thinking of the fright she received last night, Qingqing's head was big, and she hurriedly said to her father: "Dad, mother, I don't like the climate in the deep mountains of SC very much. It's as hot as a furnace in the summer, and like an ice cellar in the winter. The world out there is so big, I want to go out and break in. Qingqing asked for it thoughtlessly.
"This kid, our ancestors have been here for generations, but you are so picky, isn't SC called 'the land of abundance'? Isn't such a big heavenly state enough for you to toss? Your heart is bigger than the sky. The mother was a little angry and stopped.
"Mother, no, I'm going to go. I don't want to spend my life in this palm-sized place, and I have to bring as much incense powder as we have in our house. ”
"Help me grind the chili noodles a little finer, I'm going to make a mysterious weapon."
The father understood his daughter and knew that his strong "thighs" couldn't twist his daughter's pink "little arms" at all, so he had to agree.
Then, Qingqing and Niang grind the dried chili peppers on the stone mill finely, and then evenly mix the chili noodles and incense powder together, pack them in a sturdy cloth bag, and tie the mouth of the bag with twine.
Over the years, my father and mother have made a career by being a private school teacher, and they have also saved some money.
"Children, poor families are rich, bring all the friends in the family, save some flowers, as the saying goes, 'a penny is difficult to beat a hero'." Dad said.
"Daddy, my daughter will go to the world tomorrow, please rest assured, I know the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, and people's hearts will not be all holy and beautiful. I will definitely be bold and careful, and when I walk on the road, I will definitely grow a pair of eyes in front and a pair of eyes in the back of my head. Qingqing tried her best to let her father and mother see her "experience in the rivers and lakes".
"Yes, when you encounter a bad guy and you can't deal with it, you have to actively use your brain to find a way, or run to a crowded place for help." Mother suggested.
"When staying in a guest house, you should look inside and outside the room clearly, especially to see if there are people hidden in all the corners of the bed." Dad reminded solemnly.
"Yes, it's Daddy's 'trick'." Qingqing praised with a smile.
"None of them are on the right track." But Daddy still couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Daughter, although you are over 15 years old, as long as you are at home for one day, your mother and I will treat you as a child, but you are about to leave your father, you will be a true adult, grow up, and you will have to make your own decisions." Dad said with tears in his eyes.
"Daddy, don't be sad, the little eagle can't fly until the cliff, and he will never be able to fly in the blue sky, I will take care of myself."
"Dad, my Great Song Dynasty attaches great importance to 'Wenzhi and martial arts', I brought classic books such as "Four Books" and "Five Classics", please buy another set for yourself, and when the time is ripe in the future, I will also learn martial arts well!"
Qingqing affectionately hugged goodbye to her father and mother who gave birth to her and raised her.
"Daddy, go back, I will definitely return home." Qingqing reluctantly said goodbye to his parents.
