Chapter 4 Daddy Never Beats Us
Li Qing flew over the peanut field and the sweet potato field, and the Tianhe River was in front of him.
Li Qing looked back, Song Nanzhi didn't catch up, he only saw his back from a distance, and he had already walked back.
Li Qing stood on the polder embankment of the Tianhe River, and as far as the eye could see, the riverbed was almost flush with the ground, 100 meters wide, and his eyes were full of golden yellow sand.
On the other side of the river, there are clusters of low chestnut trees, faintly visible, and in the middle of the riverbed, about ten meters wide, the water flows quietly, clear to the bottom.
Li Qing walked down the polder, several children in the village were playing in the river, Li Qing held a sandal, walked barefoot on the soft sand, ran to the river, and played with the children.
"Xiao Qingzi, we're going home, aren't you leaving?"
"I don't want to go back"
"Don't you dare to go back, I'm afraid that your mother will beat you, hehehe"
"Oh, you guys go back first"
A few children in the village jumped up and down the polder.
Li Qing also walked from the river to the shore, sat down on the sand, grabbed the sand with his hands, and released his fingers, so that the sand slowly leaked through his fingers.
The sand of Tianhe is very large and golden, and the children in the village often come here to play.
Li Qing saw that the sky was getting dark, and the villagers in the fields were gradually decreasing, and it was estimated that the time was not early, so he patted the sand on his body, jumped and jumped, hummed a song in his mouth, and walked back. When I arrived at the door of the house, I hesitated and looked around for a while.
Song Nanzhi was speaking in the hall with a former female student, Zhang Ju (who later became Li Qing's fourth aunt).
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Qing's face and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just hearing her voice and seeing no one, I looked around and looked for her.
No wonder no one can be found! Climb to the chestnut tree on the ridge, such a tall tree! ”
Song Nanzhi told Zhang Ju
"The day before yesterday, Zhuangzi in the back, Li Dasheng's son, climbed a tree and fell from a tree, and his leg bones were broken
…
You said that if you fall and fall and don't die, what will you do in the future, her father, is not at home today, when the time comes, how will I explain to her father?"
Seeing Li Qing bowing his head and quietly walking home, he shouted loudly
"You go to my knees, don't eat tonight, see if you still have the strength to climb the tree?"
Song Nanzhi walked into the hall, picked up a bamboo chair by the earthen wall, put it behind the door of the hall, and asked Li Qing to kneel up.
Li Qingmo hesitated, moved to the bamboo chair, pouted, bent his knees, and knelt up.
Zhang Ju squeezed his eyes at Li Qing, his upper and lower lips kept moving, but no sound came out.
Zhang Ju twisted her buttocks, walked on two short and thick legs, grinned, and approached Song Nanzhi to persuade her
"Teacher Song, let Qing'er get up first, scare and scare her, she won't dare next time, hehe~hee, Teacher Song~"
His eyes purred, looking at Song Nanzhi, holding Song Nanzhi's arm with both hands.
Song Nanzhi huffed and muttered to Zhang Juxu
"I climb trees all day long, and I don't listen to anything."
Zhang Ju saw Song Nanzhi walking to the kitchen, quickly turned around, took three steps and made two steps, stepped in front of Li Qing, lowered his head, squeezed his eyes at Li Qing, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered
"You, you, little fool, when you see that your mother is not in front of you, stand up, and your mother will kneel again when she comes, remember!"
Li Qing pouted, raised his head, and kept kneeling on the chair.
When it was time for dinner, no one shouted or went to eat.
After dinner, Li Yun and Li Feng took a bath and went to the river to wash their clothes.
Li Zhenfu crookedly, pushing the permanent plate, black weighted bicycle, hanging from the handlebars, and a black handheld briefcase, walked to the gate.
Song Nanzhi and Zhang Ju were sitting on bamboo chairs at the door, picking vegetables.
Zhang Ju's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Li Zhenfu at a glance, he smiled, and quickly twisted his butt and stood up,
"Secretary Li, are you back?"
"Hmm"
Li Zhenfu put the bicycle at the door and stepped into the gate.
Seeing Li Qing kneeling on the bamboo chair behind the gate, knowing that he must have broken the law again, he looked back at Song Nanzhi and asked Song Nanzhi with displeasure
"What's wrong with Qing'er? Hit Qing'er again? ”
Zhang Ju walked to the kitchen, stretched out his head, glanced at Li Qing secretly, shrank his head, stuck out his tongue, turned to Li Zhenfu, and whispered
"Secretary Li, Qing'er went up the tree to beat chestnuts, the chestnut tree is so high on the ridge, Teacher Song said, just shouting and not seeing people, but still at the head of the tree, ran down, hehe, we told her to eat dinner and didn't eat.. Secretary Li, have you eaten? ”
"Oh, Zhang Ju, I've eaten it"
Li Zhenfu smiled slightly, looked at Li Qing, and said softly
"Qing'er, don't you get up yet? I'm thinking about letting you go to a sports school, you're so good at climbing trees. You see, your mother has put the food in the pot and kept it for you, get up, and go eat."
Zhang Ju was beside him, blinking his eyes, hehe, seeing that Song Nanzhi didn't come to the kitchen, he lifted the lid on the iron pot, brought the dishes to the clay stove table, and beckoned to Li Qing to go to the kitchen.
"Qing'er, come and eat,"
In fact, Li Qing's stomach was grumbling with hunger, but he was angry in his heart.
After listening to Li Zhenfu's words, he stood up, pouted, and walked straight to the kitchen.
"Hee-hee, Qing'er, are you full? Tonight, the production team will play a movie in the rice field, don't you watch it? ”
Zhang Ju chatted with Song Nanzhi and Li Zhenfu in the hall, Zhang Ju smiled and stretched out his head to ask Li Qing, Li Qing pouted and didn't speak, walked straight through the hall, picked up a small bench and Li Feng, and went to the rice field of the production team.
"It's like a boy,"
Song Nanzhi looked at Li Qing's thin back and said with a smile,
"Hehehehe, Qing'er looks skinny, the elves are weird, Teacher Song, Secretary Li is back, then I'm going home"
"Oh, Zhang Ju, aren't you going to the movies? Come and play when you have time."
"I went home and asked, if my dad was going to the movies, go with him"
Zhang Ju twisted her buttocks, quickly moved her legs, and shook her body onto the path.
Li Zhenfu looked at Song Nanzhi and said
"Can't you just talk to Qing'er? Hit the kids at every turn."
Song Nanzhi frowned slightly
"Say it well? It's not okay to beat her twice for three days, anyway, the wicked people will let me do it, and you will be a good person."
"We can't both beat her, we have to sing with a white face and a red face, haha"
"Yun'er, Feng'er is obedient, just this Qing'er, I really suspect that she was reincarnated by Sun Wukong, she is the thinnest, and she is still the most energetic, haha,"
"Last week, we all went to the cinema on the street and watched the Shaolin Temple, hey, yesterday morning at four o'clock, Qing'er practiced boxing in the back,"
Li Zhenfu reached out and picked up the black briefcase on the bookcase, unzipped it, and took out a few banknotes from it.
"Oh, Nanzhi, I almost forgot, I paid my salary today, and my salary has increased by five yuan, for you."
"Paid? It's gone up by five yuan, I'm worried, school is going to start soon, I'm going to prepare tuition for the children, I'm still on summer vacation as a famous teacher, and I don't have a few salaries,"
Song Nanzhi counted the money, took out five yuan, and said
"Zhenfu, you don't keep a few dollars for yourself, you give me all your monthly salary, so how can you do it?"
Li Zhenfu put the five yuan back in his bag and said to Song Nanzhi
"You and the children go to the paddy field to watch a movie, and I come to see the house"
The next day, Li Zhenfu rested and had breakfast, Li Qing and Li Feng, as well as a few children from the village, were sitting on the bamboo bed at the gate, reading villain books.
Li Zhenfu sat at the dining table in the hall and shouted out
"Qing'er, come"
"My dad called me, I'll go and find it yourself."
Li Qing stepped into the door and stood in front of Li Zhenfu.
Li Zhenfu smiled and said
"Qing'er, yesterday, why did your mother beat you so hard and punish you for kneeling on a bamboo chair? Before, it was just a symbolic hit on you twice.."
Li Qing was silent, listening to Li Zhenfu doing ideological work, his eyes looked at Li Zhenfu, his eyes were kind, and he smiled.
Thought
"It's better to be dad, dad has never scolded us, let alone beaten us, he is always smiling and grieving us."
