Chapter 232: Cooperation
In addition to the hot and muggy heat of the midsummer evenings, the excitement of mosquitoes and insects is indispensable. In the middle of the night, the heat dissipated a lot, and the crickets and gnats were almost tired, but the mosquitoes were flying more and more excited.
During the day, Lu Tong was not too serious about a suggestion, but Father Jiang used it as a life-saving straw, he not only thought of a way, but asked someone to hang the news that the Jiang family would make a cake that night and hang it in the well, and spread it around the Fulong Inn where Miaowei Zhai and the Xie family temporarily lived, and he also hid in the firewood room and waited for the rabbit.
Jiang Han felt that the possibility of someone coming was very low, but under the current situation, she, the culprit in the eyes of everyone, did not dare to express her opposition easily, so she could only honestly accompany his father to hide in the firewood room, staring at the direction of the well through the gap in the wooden door made of several uneven wooden boards.
"Smack!"
The drowsy Father Jiang was about to rush out in shock, but he was stopped by the red-faced Jiang Han, spread his palm in front of him, and said: "Dad, no one came, there were too many mosquitoes in the firewood room, and they bit me all over the bag, and I couldn't help but shoot a ...... to death."
Father Jiang shook off her hand and reprimanded: "I can't help but go back to the room, don't get in the way here, I'll stay here by myself!" Who knows if there is someone in our neighborhood who is staring, and as soon as you slap it, people may hear it, and then turn around and run away? ”
"How can it be so mysterious?" Jiang Han muttered embarrassedly, "If anyone else came tonight, they would have come a long time ago." It's three watches in the middle of the night, and after a while there will be people walking on the street. ”
"Woohoo! ~~”
As if to verify that Jiang Han was right, as soon as her voice fell, there were several rooster crows in the night sky.
"I'm not wrong, am I? On weekdays, less than an hour later, the two aunts of Hanada are coming, and we should also get up to make steamed buns and skewers. ”
Father Jiang pulled the crack in the door and looked out for a while, but there was still no movement outside, he couldn't help but sit on the ground in frustration, with a sad face, and let out a long sigh.
Suddenly, he raised his hand, slapped Jiang Han hard with a few slaps, his face was full of resentment, and he scolded angrily in a low voice: "Stinky girl, why do you say you don't use your brain when you speak?" In vain, you have been in the Lilai Teahouse for so many days, and you haven't grown at all! Now that this incident has happened, it doesn't matter if we two of us destroy your senior brother and your Uncle Zhao? They are so kind to you, how can you be worthy of them? The scolding was still angry, he picked up half a piece of firewood casually and greeted Jiang Han twice.
Jiang Han didn't dare to say a word, only leaned sideways and hugged her head to bear her father's anger.
She knew that although she was unintentional in this matter, she had to bear the responsibility of lighting the fuse.
Unintentionality often leads to catastrophes, such as people who smoke in the mountains and forests, throw down the cigarette butt and step on it, but leave without checking whether the cigarette butt is extinguished, and the result is a forest fire - this must be punished.
This man consciously stepped on the cigarette butt, indicating that he had no intention of causing a fire, but why should he be punished?
The crux of the matter is that he knew that smoking in the forest would cause a fire, but he still smoked and threw away the cigarette butts, thinking that as long as he was careful, nothing would happen.
And she knew that Yun Niang's sister and brother were sensitive and couldn't mention it at will, but in front of Wan Shun, she still held a fluke mentality and easily pushed Yun Niang out in a vain attempt to shock the other party.
- How similar this behavior is to the person who unintentionally caused the forest fire!
So, remorse is useless, she really should fight!
Her face was cold, her nose was a little blocked, Jiang Han, who was still leaning sideways, sniffled, only to find that her tears and snot had overflowed, she simply covered her face and curled up her body, sobbing silently.
Seeing her like this, Father Jiang thought of her changes and efforts in the past two months, and his heart softened again.
Thinking about it, his responsibility as a father is even greater - since his leg was destroyed, not only can he not protect his child, but he also let her rush forward for this family matter. If he could have been a more responsible father, Wan Shun would have gone to the Jiang family stall on Washi Street to find him instead of going to the Lilai Teahouse, and maybe there would be no such things.
"Dad shouldn't beat you, it's Dad who is useless!" Father Jiang sighed bitterly and looked at the door of the firewood room with a melancholy expression.
"Dad, it's my daughter who is not careful in what she says and does...... It's not that she's not cautious, yes, it's ......" Jiang Han's chest was stuffy, and her brain was in a mess, she didn't know how to express it to accurately describe the thoughts in her heart, she wiped her nose, took two deep breaths, and felt sober, and said, "It's that deep down in my heart, I have never really paid attention to Yun Niang's sensitive identity issues." Although I knew in my head that this matter was very important, my heart was more like a spectator, so I thought I was clever at that time, and wanted to use 'Xie Shi' vaguely to scare Wan Shun. ”
Perhaps this mentality is the root cause of her troubles.
She has always subconsciously positioned herself as a spectator, and all the starting points of her actions, whether it is to change the Jiang family or help Yun Niang, or even to be forced to give advice to the king's shopkeeper, are all based on the unwillingness to think highly of herself but everything is not going well, and to prove that she is capable and different.
Although her father, Yun Niang and the Liu family's kindness and tolerance to her often moved her heart, and even made her impulsively want to protect them and give back to them, but she also acted based on a lofty attitude, and deep down she did not regard herself as Jiang Han of the Jiang family in Luoxia Town.
I think of the second half of her junior year, she went to a school for an internship, did well in physical education class, and occasionally put forward some ideas, but she never integrated into the school with the mentality of a master, nor did she take that job as a life goal, she just went to earn credits and experience, as long as she did a good job, did not perform too mediocre, and did not stiffen the relationship with her colleagues. In her consciousness, she didn't belong there, and sooner or later she was going to leave.
"It's my bad mentality. I never really thought about what the future would be. Jiang Han curled up on the ground, and the voice that came out of the palm of his hand was buzzing, "Dad, although I told you and Yun Niang that I wanted to open a restaurant, I actually only have a vague direction, and everything else is chaotic." After so many things, I also thought about changing my way of doing things and attitude, but I couldn't grasp the main point, and I was always spinning around in the sudden chaos. Dad, what do you say I should do? As soon as the words came out, the tears that had just stopped poured out uncontrollably, and the body couldn't help shaking, and a fear of the unpredictable future suddenly rose in the bottom of my heart.
When Daddy Jiang heard her say that she was like a spectator, he was already strange in his heart, and now when he heard this sentence again, he felt pain and confusion in his heart.
This is a question that he has never seriously thought about since his crippled leg.
In the past, he worked hard to earn a family business for his daughter and not be looked down upon when he married into his in-law's family in the future. But the sudden disaster not only wasted his legs, but also his heart.
In the past half a year, he has either been lying in bed complaining about the thieves or sitting at home worrying, the courage to defy hardships and dangers has turned into frustration, if there is no moon girl crookedly broke out of the way to make food, he doesn't know what this family will be like in the future!
Previously, he regretted that he didn't stop this crisis, but at this time, when he heard his daughter's heart-to-heart words, he really woke up to the fact that he was indeed an unqualified father! - My daughter is only sixteen years old, and she suddenly suffers a great disaster, and she needs him to lead the way, instead of leaving everything to her to face and bear.
"Yueya, Dad is an unqualified father, Dad apologizes to you! Now, Dad doesn't know what to do......" He smiled sadly, and cheered up again, "But it doesn't matter, if we can pass this level smoothly, we will discuss it together in the future, once upon a time, your father and I were also well-known figures on the docks of Luoxia Town, and we can always figure it out." ”
