Chapter 37: Escape from Fear

Cao'er began to avoid being alone with her parents, in her own way.

In fact, grass work is very fast, she carries a bucket of clothes to the river, can be rinsed in less than half an hour, but she often deliberately grinds until an hour or even an hour and a half before returning home.

How comfortable it is to be by the river:

There was no sense of oppression from her parents, and there was no other talk from anyone else, just herself, and the gentle flow of the river, and the breeze that swept across the fields and kissed her face, whether there was sun or not, staying here was warm and warm.

She didn't want to go home, at least, she could stay at home a little less, and spend a little more comfortably by this free river.

Although, after she returned home, she was reproached by her mother:

"So much laundry for so long!"

But she doesn't care anymore, she is more afraid of being at a loss in front of her mother, and it is much better to suffer if she wants to do something in front of her mother and doesn't know what to do.

Over time, she started to do things really slowly, I don't know if it was born or because she deliberately slowed down after following her parents, in short, she became a very chronic child.

However, her body is indeed thin and weak, and her hands are weak, and her laundry is indeed not clean enough. Often the clothes she washes, if they are her own, are left to dry. If it is a mother's clothes, the mother usually has to wash them again and then dry them. In the words of my mother and other teachers, Cao'er's own clothes need to be taken care of by herself, and whether they are clean or not is her own business. But if you think your clothes are not clean, you have to wash them again.

Cao'er listened to her mother's words, and watched her mother wash her clothes again, she didn't have too many thoughts, this is her mother's freedom, she can't wash it clean, and her mother washes it again, it's her own.

Besides, Cao'er likes her parents to tell her to go out to buy things the most. Because this way, you can spend more time on the road.

Therefore, as long as her parents tell her to buy something, she is very active. If the small shops around her didn't sell them, she ran to the smaller shops farther away. She even wished there were other shops in the neighborhood so that she would have a good reason to be out and not at home.

Cao'er's parents were very incomprehensible about her obsession, and they made it very clear when she bought it: if there is nothing to sell nearby, there is no need to buy it! She had to go far to buy it back, and she really didn't know whether to praise or criticize.

So, judging from all the signs, Cao'er's parents came to the conclusion that they had a very stupid daughter. This daughter is so straight that she can't bend.

So, when they told their daughter to buy more things, they either wrote them on paper, or they had to explain them five or six times, at least three or four times, so that their daughter could repeat it clearly before buying.

Cao'er knew that her parents thought they were stupid, but she didn't mind, and even wanted to fulfill her parents' wish to think they were stupid. So the situation arises:

"You go buy salt, sauce, vinegar and ginger after eating."

The father commanded his daughter, who was squatting next to the rice cooker with a bowl and serving rice.

"Hmm."

Cao'er agreed as usual.

"You'll have to ask her to repeat it, or you'll get the wrong one."

Mother stressed beside her.

Indeed, it is also a common thing to buy the wrong thing from time to time, sometimes unintentionally, sometimes intentionally. But whether intentionally or not, Cao'er is willing. As long as she can spend a little more time away from home and her parents, she is happy.

"No, I'm sure I remember! Okay, okay, then you repeat it. ”

How could a father not believe that his daughter could not even remember these things? You must know that she scored more than 96 points in every exam in school, often double hundred, and wherever she went in her hometown, people praised her daughter for inheriting his intelligence.

"Salt, sauce, vinegar, oil."

The grass repeated, and the rice was still slowly scooped in her hands.

"You really can't remember! Salt, sauce, vinegar, gingerβ€”"

"Look, I said it, she just can't remember it, you have to say it a few more times, and then let her repeat it clearly."

Mother said very kindly beside her.

"Salt, sauce, vinegar, ginger! Salt sauce vinegar ginger! Remember? ”

"Hmm."

The grass followed as usual.

"Salt, sauce, vinegar, ginger! You repeat it again. ”

"Salt sauce vinegar - ginger."

Cao'er's face was calm without a trace of waves, but she was secretly happy in her heart, proud of herself In this way, next time she really remembered wrong, she would not be scolded, anyway, her parents knew that she was stupid.

For how many pounds and taels she has, Cao'er does not have the slightest fear and timidity, her evaluation of herself is never influenced by outsiders, so she is not affected by the language of outsiders, even if it is her parents and relatives. She still hopes that if her parents can be happy, she will be happy, and if her parents are unhappy and she is under pressure, it is best to escape from her parents' sight.

Cao'er has never been very comfortable with the rational discipline of her parents, and she is always longing for the warmth and freewheeling of her grandmother when she is with her.

For this reason, Cao'er is looking forward to her parents' change of heart, hoping that at least she can return home to be with her grandmother.

The place where she lives with her parents, she doesn't think it's their home, it's just a place to live, only a large family of people who used to have grandma, grandfather, uncle and aunt are all called home, but why do parents use "home" when they mention their current place of residence before and after others? This made Cao'er wonder.

As Cao'er left home for more and more time, Cao'er heard her parents continue to call her residence "home", and when Cao'er thought that the home where her grandmother was in her hometown was her hometown, Cao'er panicked and felt as if she couldn't go back, and this was indeed the case.

Cao'er began to think about her grandmother day and night, thinking about the mountains and rivers in her hometown, she didn't like this new place, she drank tap water every day, where was the well water at the door of her house cool? !

As soon as it came Thursday and Friday, she began to think about how to talk to her parents and go back to her grandmother for the weekend.

There was no way, Cao'er had to move to her parents with fear and trembling, saying that she wanted to go home to see her grandmother.

Her parents didn't like or want her to go back, and they knew that once she went back, she would be coquettish and squeamish at home and not do any work, so that her grandmother would be obedient to her.

But she just wants to go back, and she just moved in, so she should have an adaptation period. If you don't let her go back, it doesn't seem to be justified. The two agreed to their daughter's request with a cold face, but told her to come back early.

"Hmm!"

She readily agreed. Just let her go home to see her grandma and spend the weekend with her grandma, and say anything.
