In summer, the days are long and the nights are short.

No matter how long the days are, there is also evening, dusk comes, tired birds return to their nests, cattle and sheep return to the pen, people who have worked hard all day also get off work, and those who do farm work are finished one after another.

Le Dad looked at his mobile phone again when he got off work, shook his head helplessly, Lele little padded jacket didn't call him for two days, and I don't know which one to run to play in the forget the day, there is a good time at home is a treasure, let it out like a wild horse girl, he deeply felt what is called worry and entanglement, the girl is bold, he can't accept it.

Entangled in my heart, I got on my own electric tricycle and went home.

Zhou Qiufeng came back from the field, washed his hands and feet in the ditch outside, and saw the old lady looking outside the door, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mom, what are you looking at?" ”

"I haven't heard Lele speak for a few days, and I feel so weird." Grandma Zhou looked at Le's house a few times, full of wondering, Lele had been here on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and she didn't see the child's shadow in the next few days, and she didn't know where to go.

"You just ask Brother Le." Zhou Qiufeng replied casually, she is busy transporting fertilizer to the field these days, leaving early and returning late, rarely at home, and she has been thinking about Lele saying that she wants to find a new mother, and she is a little absent-minded about external affairs.

"Hmm." Grandma Zhou responded, wanted to turn around and go home, heard the clatter of the car rolling on the ground, looked at the village road, saw an old tricycle coming back, and immediately walked to Lejia: "Yueqing is back, I'll ask him where Xiao Lele went." ”

Zhou Qiufeng opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Go, go, go", but when he looked up and saw that Yueqing was about to arrive at Lejia, he was stunned, and couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Dad Le drove the car outside the house, saw Grandma Zhou coming straight to him, hurriedly braked, and shouted "Auntie".

"Hey, Yueqing, what about your family Lele, I want to find her to help me thread the needle during the day today, but I haven't found anyone for a long time." Grandma Zhou smiled at Mimi's response, there is a way that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, and so does she, the more she looks at Yueqing, the more she feels that she is a good match for her daughter.

"Auntie, you're looking for Lele, Lele isn't at home, she went into the mountains to study medicinal herbs." Dad Le is an honest person, what do you have to say.

"Huh?"

Two cries of surprise sounded at the same time, one was Grandma Zhou's and the other was Zhou Qiufeng's, and both mother and daughter were startled by the answer.

Grandma Zhou almost jumped up: "Oh my God, Lele went to the mountains again?" Why haven't you come back yet, it's almost dark. ”

Le Dad heard two exclamations, saw Zhou Qiufeng outside the Zhou family's house, thought of Lele's words, the tips of his ears burned, and was shocked by Grandma Zhou's panicked tone, quickly retracted his gaze, and hurriedly replied: "Lele entered the mountain on the sixth day of the first month, and went for several days. ”

His girl lied to him to play, saying that he would go for three or five days, and this was the fourth day, and no one had seen a shadow yet, and the girl didn't talk much, and Dad Le was very depressed.

"You entered the mountain on the sixth day of the first month? Today's tenth day of the new year, how many days have you been there? Did I call you? "Grandma Zhou is in a hurry.

"Two days ago, I called and said that I was going to a place with no signal, and I couldn't contact him for a few days, auntie, don't worry, Lele knows in her heart, she will take care of herself."

As a father, Le Dad is also worried, and he has to appease Grandma Zhou, the neighbors care about Lele is the kindness of others, and it makes no sense for others to accompany him.

"What are you talking about, men are careless, you don't want to think about it, how old Lele is, you are willing to let her run into the mountains alone, how can you say you, it's really anxious......"

Listening to Grandma Zhou's chatter, Le Dad listened honestly, and when she finished speaking, he said a sentence: "Auntie, you know, Lele is stubborn, she can't pull back the nine cows she decided, she said I don't agree, she ran in the middle of the night, didn't call me, didn't tell me where I was, how dare I stop it." ”

"This is really what Xiao Lele did, when Lele calls back, you have to hurry up and urge her to come back, the insecurity of the deep mountains and old forests ......"

Grandma Zhou nagged a lot before turning home, and when she went to bed at night, she talked about Yueqing's difficulty and Lele's sensibility, etc., saying that she decided to be a matchmaker, and when Lele came back, she went to ask Lele who was the new mother, no matter what, she was cheeky to ask the woman's meaning, and then, fell asleep.

She slept soundly in the old man's house, but Zhou Qiufeng couldn't sleep at all, for a while she remembered that her mother said that Lele helped her father talk about matchmaking, and for a while she remembered that her mother said that when Lele came back, she would ask Lele who she wanted to be the new mother, and then she thought about Brother Le and Lejia's everything, and when she thought of this, she thought about that, and her mind was chaotic, turning over and over, and she couldn't sleep for half a night.

It started raining the next day.

It is very normal to rain in spring and summer, it rains every three or five days, the first few days God gives face, either sunny or cloudy, even if there is occasional drizzle, it does not delay the work in the fields of the farmer, so the sweet potatoes of the villagers are also planted, and the fields are sprinkled with herbicidal water, even if it rains, it has no impact on farm work.

It probably didn't rain a few days ago, and God had accumulated a lot of sadness, and not long after the rain began in the morning, it was like pouring a basin on it, pouring down from the sky, and the water was getting deeper and deeper, and the river was rising.

Le Dad's heart was a mess, such a heavy rain, was Le Le trapped in the mountains? Is there anything else to eat? Will it get wet, will it be cold?

The father is the backer behind every child, who is usually silent or silent, or may not be good at expressing himself, and his love for his children is never less than that of his mother.

Le Dad has a few words on the outside, delicate and gentle in his heart, he has been a father and a mother for more than ten years, the whole person is like the tea leaves in the water when making tea, always ups and downs, hot afraid of the child being hot, cold and cold, not by his side for fear of being bullied, not to mention the dangerous thing that the child runs deep into the mountains to slip away, he can rest assured that it is a strange thing.

In the afternoon, the rain was a little less, but it was still wet.

Dad Le's heart lasted for a long time, and finally got some comfort in the middle of the afternoon, and his little padded jacket sent him a text message! Even if he didn't call, he knew that people were safe, and his anxious heart could be more stable.

As for the child's return date, he no longer expects her to come back on time, Xiao Lele is like a bird returning to the forest when he enters the mountain, and he is probably reluctant to go home if he doesn't play enough, he only hopes that the little padded jacket can take care of herself, don't be hungry and cold.

Everyone has a bottom line, in front of the child, Le Dad's bottom line is low and low, before, he hoped that the child would be obedient and not fight, later, he only hoped that the child would not break the enemy when he fought, and he would lose eight hundred, before the child entered the mountain, he hoped that people would come back on time, and now he just hopes that she will not be injured.
