The butterfly seemed to be fated with Liu Junfang. It flew around her head several times before reluctantly flying away. She chased after the butterfly. Yan Yihu couldn't help but follow the butterfly. The butterfly flew and stopped, stopping and flying, as if it was joking with Liu Junfang. Liu Junfang kept chasing it, trying to catch it. She chased for a long time until the butterfly disappeared. Just as she was about to walk back, she suddenly saw a fat and big hare running past her. Liu Junfang immediately followed the hare. The wild rabbit wasn't running very fast. In addition, Liu Junfang's legs were agile, so the wild rabbit didn't escape from her sight. After running for a while, he saw the hare enter its rabbit nest.
"Dad!" Liu Junfang shouted. Come and catch the rabbit!"
When Yan Yihu heard Liu Junfang calling him, he hurriedly ran over and asked in confusion,""Little girl! Why are you shouting?"
Liu Junfang said,"I found a wild rabbit in this hole. We caught it."”
"How?" Yan Yihu asked. If it doesn't come out, how can we catch it?"
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, guard the exit of the rabbit nest first. I will naturally have a way to catch it."”
Liu Junfang found a big plastic bag in the car and collected some hay. After searching for a while and finding no other exits around the rabbit hole, he was relieved to proceed with the next step of the work. She set the hay on fire at the exit of the rabbit hole and used her clothes as a fan to fan the rabbit hole. After the thick smoke was blown into the rabbit's nest, the fire at the scene was cleaned up. He used a plastic bag to cover the entrance of the cave and waited for the rabbit to come out.
"What kind of trick are you playing?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"The rabbit won't come out of its nest. I'll use smoke attack."”
Yan Yihu said,"In ancient times, fire was used to fight, but you used smoke to catch rabbits. How smart!"”
Liu Junfang said,"Pouring the thick smoke into the rabbit's nest to smoke it, it won't be long before it can't stand it and runs out automatically."”
The father and daughter waited quietly at the entrance of the cave, not daring to make a sound. Ten minutes passed without any movement. Just as they were feeling anxious and helpless, a rabbit suddenly darted out of the cave. Since the exit of the cave was covered by a plastic bag, the rabbit immediately crawled into the plastic bag. Liu Junfang stepped forward and pressed the plastic bag. The rabbit was trapped inside. The rabbit struggled with all its might and almost tore the plastic bag. A few minutes later, the rabbit stopped struggling.
"There's not much air in the plastic bag," Yan Yihu said."The rabbit will suffocate in a while.”
Liu Junfang said,"I want it alive. I can't suffocate it."”As he spoke, he opened the plastic bag and took out the rabbit. After a few minutes, the rabbit regained its vitality and struggled desperately.
Seeing that Liu Junfang could not control the rabbit, Yan Yihu grabbed the rabbit's ear with one hand and the rabbit's hind legs with the other. The rabbit was helpless.
Liu Junfang said,"This rabbit is really strong. It really wants to eat me."”
"Any animal will perform exceptionally at the critical moment of life and death," Yan Yihu said. As the saying goes," When a rabbit is anxious, it will bite." One must first grab its ears, control its head, and prevent it from biting. Then, one must grab its hind legs. The hind legs were the strongest.”
Liu Junfang looked at the wild rabbit carefully. It was big and fat, with bright fur and bright eyes. He thought to himself that this wild rabbit weighed at least five to six catties. He could eat it for a few days after killing it. She had no idea at the moment, so she asked her father,"Dad, what should we do with this wild rabbit?”
"Girl, how do you plan to deal with this?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"It's just a living little animal. I really can't bear to kill it."”
Yan Yihu said,"Look at how big this rabbit's stomach is. It must be pregnant. It has a baby rabbit." Killing it would hurt a few lives.”
Liu Junfang asked,"Is the wild rabbit a protected animal?"”
"Although wild rabbits are not protected by the state, they are becoming less and less common in nature," said Yan Yihu. Its main food was grass, which was not harmful to crops. In addition, rabbits were indispensable in the carnivorous food chain. If humans killed a large number of hares, it would affect the survival of other wild animals.”
Liu Junfang gently touched the wild rabbit's belly and said,""Little rabbit! You're so pitiful. I'll let you live!”
Yan Yihu said,"Let's give up the bloody massacre and give it freedom and happiness!"”
Yan Yihu gently placed the rabbit on the ground and released his hands. The rabbit raised its head and glanced at them. It shrugged its ears and ran into the distance, disappearing into the grass. They smiled at each other and left the scene of catching the rabbit.
Liu Junfang started practicing driving again. Yan Yihu patiently explained the essentials of driving a car, and Liu Junfang seriously operated and practiced, making rapid progress. Unknowingly, he practiced for another two hours. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
"We've been practicing for a day. Let's go home!" Yan Yihu said.”
Liu Junfang looked at the sun. The sun was setting, and the rays of the sun shone brightly, reflecting half the sky red. The mountains that connected the sky and the earth were undulating, and the forest was dense and lush. The sunset added a layer of bright red to the beautiful mountains, rivers, and forests, adding more charming colors. Strange clouds were dyed by the multicolored light, moving in the sky, colliding, separating, merging, and changing in all shapes and sizes. The sunset made the verdant mountains and rivers beautiful and pleasing to the eye. It made the smiling faces of the father and daughter turn red and radiant.
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, let's not rush home." When we go back, we each have a home. It's so boring to guard an empty big house!”
"Let's go back!" Yan Yihu said. I'll stay in the same house as you today. I won't go to the new house.”
Liu Junfang shook her head happily and said,""That's great! I'm so happy to have Daddy with me!"
Yan Yihu tugged at her braids and said,"Little girl, you're really a child!”
Liu Junfang pointed to the west mountain and said,"Dad, look at the sunset. Let's go to the lawn and rest for a while before leaving."”
Yan Yihu said,"Nature is so beautiful and colorful. Let's accept nature's gift without hesitation!"”
They locked the car and returned to the flat and wide lawn.
"Dad!" Liu Junfang said. The lawn here, the mountains here, the sunset here, the sunset here, what's the difference between this place and our hometown in the countryside? Why didn't she feel any poetic and picturesque feelings back in her hometown?”
Yan Yihu said,"Nature is the fairest. It doesn't change with human will." The key was one's mood. Only when one was in a good mood would the scenery in one's eyes be beautiful.”
Liu Junfang said," I worked in the fields in the countryside. Every day, I went out to work in the morning glow and went home with the sunset. I was so tired that my whole body ached. How could he be in the mood to appreciate this beautiful sunset? Now that she was the daughter of the manager's father, she could eat well, live well, and work without being tired. Only then did she feel the happiness and joy of life. I will never forget Dad's…”
Yan Yihu did not wait for her to finish and interrupted her,"You're just disobedient. I just said not to mention the word 'kindness' but I still have to say it. You haven't put down the burden of your family's difficulties, and you're carrying the burden of 'Repaying Gratitude.' It seems that it's too difficult to make you feel relaxed and happy.”
Seeing that he was unhappy, Liu Junfang teased him,""Daddy, don't be angry. I'll sing you a song!”
"You can sing?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said," I'm the backbone of Fengyang High School's publicity team. I'm good at singing and dancing.”
"What song do you know? Let's hear it!" Yan Yihu said.”
Liu Junfang cleared her throat and sang,"The sun sets in the west mountain, the red clouds fly, the soldiers shoot at the target and return to the camp…"”
"I can sing this song too," said Yan Yihu. Choose your best lyrical song and sing it to me.”
Liu Junfang looked at the sunset in Xishan and said,""In this beautiful and colorful scenery, I learned to sing Yang Yuying's 'Red Dragonfly in the Sunset' to liven up Dad's mood. I wish Dad good health and a happy mood!”
Yan Yihu said,"Don't be polite. Sing!"”
Liu Junfang stood up and walked a few steps on the grass to find the feeling of being on the stage. She held a flower as a microphone and sang,
"Never forget you in the sunset
Stepping on the green grass, the setting sun is in my heart
Always a little sad that you're not in my dreams
I saw little red dragonflies flying around
A red dragonfly quietly flies past your window
I wonder if your eyes can see
There is a drop of my tears gently falling on the strings of the zither
I wonder who can hear my song
……。
Liu Junfang nodded to end the show. Yan Yihu clapped and said,"Her voice is sweet, and the aftertaste is long. Her voice is full of emotion, and it's deeply touching." He did not expect the little darling's singing to be so moving.
Liu Junfang said,"I used this song to keep up appearances in the publicity team."”
"I wonder how good the girl's dancing skills are."”
Liu Junfang said,"The grass is uneven, so it's not easy to dance. I'll do a kick and split."”
Liu Junfang stood up straight and kicked her leg upward. The tip of her foot could reach the top of her head. He could sit firmly on the ground with his legs split. Yan Yihu saw her kung fu and said happily,"Find a suitable opportunity to watch your singing and dancing performance. Haha! Haha! My precious daughter is talented in singing and dancing. She's really a good child!
Liu Junfang said,"Not only can I sing and dance, but I also know a little about many instruments."”
"What instruments do you play?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said," Jinghu, erhu, banhu, gaohu, violin, pipa, guitar, sanxian, yangqin, guzheng, sheng, xiao, flute, suona, and sanhuang can all be used to perform some songs.”
Yan Yihu said,"The girl is really versatile!" It's a pity that there's no instrument for you to perform on now.”
Liu Junfang said," It's not difficult for me to have no musical instruments. I can pick a leaf and grass to play a song for you."”
Yan Yihu grabbed a leaf and stuffed it into Liu Junfang's hand. He said happily,""I want to see how a child prodigy like you can blow this leaf.”
Liu Junfang calmly put the leaf in her mouth and soon blew out the song,"Return from Shooting." Yan Yihu plucked a blade of grass and gave it to Liu Junfang. She could still play a moving song.
"When did you learn such martial arts? I'm really impressed!" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said," Children in the countryside like us often help adults in the fields. After work, we pick leaves and grass and blow them in our mouths. After a long time, we have practiced this kind of kung fu.”
Yan Yihu said,"It seems that I still have to take you as my master to learn this kind of blowing skill. Can you teach me?"”
Liu Junfang said,"You should first acknowledge me as your master!" Call me Master Liu!"
Yan Yihu bowed with both hands and said,"Master Liu, please accept my bow!"”
Liu Junfang quickly grabbed his hands and said,""I was just joking and you took it seriously. You're my father, my elder. If you bow to me, you'll kill me.”
Yan Yihu said,"Let's not talk about Dad and Master anymore. Quickly teach me!"”
Liu Junfang plucked a leaf and put it in Yan Yihu's mouth.""Put this leaf between your upper and lower lips and gently blow on it.”
Yan Yihu blew for a long time, but no sound came out. He asked anxiously,"Why can't I make any sound?”
Liu Junfang said,"Don't press the leaf too tightly with your lips. Let the leaf be in a relaxed state." Only the airflow that was blown out like this could make the leaves tremble and make a sound.”
Yan Yihu was so anxious that he couldn't make a sound even though he was sweating profusely. He sighed and said,""This disciple of mine is too stupid!"
Liu Junfang said,"Your mentality is not good now. The more anxious you are, the worse it will be." When you calm down, you'll definitely learn it.”
Yan Yihu asked," Girl, what other tricks do you have? Show them to me. I like you more and more."”
Liu Junfang said,"What kind of brilliant move is this? It's just some small tricks for fun."”
"You're too smart! She's so cute!"
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, you won't regret taking me in, right?"”
"Of course, this is a blessing that I've accumulated over several lifetimes," said Yan Yihu.”
Liu Junfang looked at Yan Yihu's kind face and thought of what her parents had said when she first left the house."Don't talk to strange men and don't accept their money.”Therefore, he asked Yan Yihu a question,""Why do so many people say that 'Officials and Rich People Are Not Good People?'”
"You can't say that this is wrong, but you can't say that it's completely right either. Nowadays, materialistic desires were rampant, and there was a lot of corruption and resentment in the officialdom. Many people used their power and a few stinky money to indulge in debauchery, eat, drink, gamble, cheat, and commit all kinds of evil, leaving a very bad impression on the people. It was understandable that the common people hated them, scolded them, and despised them. However, there were also many good officials and good entrepreneurs who did their best to serve the people. Therefore, it could not be said that all officials and rich people were bad people.”
"Ever since I met my dad, I've changed my mind," Liu Junfang said. His father was an official and could be considered rich. He was a good person!”
Yan Yihu said," You're just a little girl. You have a sense of self-protection. It's right for you to be more vigilant. If you encounter bad people or perverts, you'll be in trouble!"”
Liu Junfang said,"When I first met you, I kept thinking, why would a man I don't know help me like this?" Don't you know that we might not be able to repay you in our lifetime? When I first moved into your house, I couldn't sleep at all. My brain was about to explode. I always feel that you're either a fool or a bad person. If you had come back an hour later, I would have fled back to my hometown.”
"Why didn't you run away after that?”
Liu Junfang said," Dad has a kind face, a gentle demeanor, and a righteous aura. There's no room for doubt. If I still don't believe you, the heavens won't tolerate it."”
Yan Yihu said," You can't judge people by their appearances. You must be vigilant at all times. If I'm really a bad person, you'll be in trouble."”After saying that, he stretched out his hands and pretended to grab her to scare her. She didn't dodge or panic at all.
"Are you really not afraid of me?" Yan Yihu asked again.”
"I'm really not afraid!" Liu Junfang said.”
"What if I'm really a bad person?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said," You saved my life. At worst, I'll let you eat it. Consider it as me returning your favor."”
Yan Yihu said,"You're my good daughter. I'll protect you for the rest of my life and won't let you get hurt in any way."”
Liu Junfang said,"You are my father and my savior." I want to serve my father for the rest of my life, be filial to my father, and dedicate my life to my dear father!”
Yan Yihu looked around and saw that night had fallen. The stars in the sky blinked and told the legend of the night sky. He patted her shoulder and said,"It's already very late. It's time to go back, right?"”
"No!" Liu Junfang said. I haven't had enough fun yet!"
"Look, it's already dark. We can't see anything. How are we going to play?" Yan Yihu said.”
Liu Junfang said,"Let's lie on the grass and look at the stars in the sky!" I really want to chat with Dad.”
Liu Junfang pressed his shoulder and pushed him down on the grass. She lay beside him and said happily,""Let's lie down and sleep for a while!”
Yan Yihu said,"You're already so old. Can you lie in a man's arms?"”
Liu Junfang said,"You always say that I'm a child. How did I suddenly grow up?" Besides, in my eyes, you're just a father. Isn't it normal for our children to snuggle in their father's arms?”
"Yes! You're right! But you have to be obedient and not move.”
Liu Junfang said,"I just want to find a pillow to be comfortable for a while so that I won't disturb your beautiful dream."”
"Can I still sleep if you squeeze me like this?" Yan Yihu asked. Let's talk!"
Liu Junfang looked up at the sky. The stars were shining brightly, beautiful and mysterious. "Which of the stars in the sky do you think is the brightest?" she asked.”
Yan Yihu said,"People often say that the brightest star is the Big Dipper. Of course, the Big Dipper is the brightest.”
Liu Junfang said,"The Big Dipper is the star that guides the direction." Dad is the Big Dipper in my heart. You illuminate my heart and point me in the right direction.”
Yan Yihu said,"I don't deserve to be worshipped by this girl." Who in the world could call themselves the North Star Battle?”
"Dad, who did you say was the second most popular celebrity?" Liu Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu pointed at a bright star above his head and said,""This one is Sirius, slightly less bright than the Big Dipper.”
Liu Junfang said,"My father is Sirius, and I am the sheep star beside Sirius."”
"Your analogy is too inauspicious!" Yan Yihu said. I'm a big pervert, you're a little sheep, I'll eat you sooner or later.”
Liu Junfang said," You're not a wolf. I'm not a sheep. We have to live in peace and be close and united." Which star is brighter?"
Yan Yihu pointed at another star in the sky above Southern Sky and said,"" This is the third brightest star, Canopus. Look, although this star is called Canopus, it's actually sparkling and brilliant.”
Liu Junfang said," Dad is a Canopy Star. You're a treasure in my heart!”
Yan Yihu pinched her nose lightly when he saw how naughty she was.""Crazy girl, you're spouting nonsense. If you dare to be naughty again, I'll beat your butt!”
Liu Junfang said,"Don't be in a hurry to spank me. Tell me the story of Canopus first!" Why is this planet called Canopus?"
Yan Yihu cleared his throat and said,""Canopus is located in the south, so people call it 'Canopus of the South Pole' or 'Celestial of the South Pole'. Li Bai once wrote a poem: "Hengshan boundless into the purple underworld, look down at the South Pole Canopy." From then on, this star was named after Li Bai's poem. The famous modern poet, Mr. Chen Zhongyuan, also had a few poems about Canopus: "Hearing in the morning and dying in the evening, the inscription of the sage, how can we accumulate gold in the front and back halls?" Who knows what's good for him? Canopus fell from the west.》Canopus was a respectful title for the elderly, hoping that the elderly would live a long life.”
Liu Junfang said," Dad is the Canopy Star, and I am the Young Girl Star. I am the sparkling little star beside Dad. I will never leave you, the Canopy Star."”
Yan Yihu said,"I've never heard of a 'Maiden Star' in the sky. This is a constellation that you imagined out of thin air.”
Liu Junfang pointed to a small star next to Canopus and said,""Dad, look at the little star on the left of Canopus. Let's name this star 'Girl Star'!”
Yan Yihu said,"There must be a reason for this girl star!" What reason do we have to call it 'Teenager Star'?”
Liu Junfang said," Canopus got its name from Li Bai's poem," The vast Hengshan Mountains enter the purple underworld, and look down at Canopus in the South Pole." Why don't we recite a poem from " Young Girl Star " and pass it down to future generations?”
"You also want to write a poem that will be passed down to future generations to be the title of Young Girl Star?" Yan Yihu asked in surprise.”
"Why can't we?" Liu Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu said,"Recite this poem of yours,'Young Lady Star'."”
Liu Junfang scratched her ears and cheeks in embarrassment.""I was just saying it casually. Actually, I don't have the poem 'Girl Star' in my heart yet.”
Yan Yihu widened his eyes and looked at her."If you don't have the ability, then don't brag. It's better to save your strength and rest for a while!”
Liu Junfang was a little unconvinced when she heard him say that. She felt her mouth open and said,""Daddy looks down on people. Are you sure I can't compose a few poems for you?”
Yan Yihu said,"If you're not convinced, then say it!”
Liu Junfang patted her head and pondered for a moment before saying,"
"The peaks of the Western Hills rise from the firmament,
Gazing at Canopy in the Southern Sky.
The immortal old man went on a tour of the south, bringing along your daughter,
For a moment, he did not leave Maiden Star.
Look at these few sentences!"
"Alright!" Yan Yihu praised. Interesting. However, who can admit the name of this 'Girl Star'?"
Liu Junfang said,"As long as we both admit it." People said that the people on the ground and the stars in the sky corresponded one by one. You correspond to Canopus, and I correspond to Maiden?”
Yan Yihu said,"The correspondence between heaven and earth is just people chatting casually. Why take it seriously?"”
Liu Junfang said," I don't care about that. I'll follow you on earth, and I'll be with you in heaven. I'll always be by your side and never leave you."”
Yan Yihu said impatiently,"Alright, alright!" We'll never leave each other and be together forever!”
The father and daughter lay on the grass and chatted for two hours. They only got up and went home when their mouths were dry.
On the way home, Liu Junfang fell asleep in the passenger seat. Yan Yihu drove the car to the compound of the community. When he parked the car, the inertia of the car shook a little. She leaned to the left and leaned on Yan Yihu's shoulder. Yan Yihu couldn't bear to wake her up and wanted her to sleep a little longer. He brushed the hair on his forehead with his hand and quietly looked at her slightly childish pink face. Smelling her unique body fragrance, the love in his heart arose spontaneously. What a good little girl! He felt refreshed when he saw her and relaxed when he smelled her fragrance. The child must be tired after a long day. Let her sleep a little longer! He slept for about half an hour, but she still did not wake up. His shoulders were a little sore from the pressure. He thought, I can't ask her to sleep in the car for the night!”Therefore, he decided to carry Liu Junfang upstairs. She woke up the moment he carried her.
Liu Junfang rubbed her eyes and said,"Dad, I'm really sorry. I slept too soundly."”
Yan Yihu said,"If you want to sleep, hurry up and go upstairs!”
Liu Junfang went upstairs in a daze and fell asleep on the bed. Yan Yihu sat by the bed and quietly looked at her delicate and rosy face. He listened to her even breathing and smelled her faint fragrance. He was unwilling to leave for a long time. As he looked at it, he was intoxicated and didn't feel sleepy."I didn't look at her carefully in the past. This child is too cute. It's so good to have this girl by my side! She missed this child after not seeing him for a few days.”However, on second thought, I can't just care about myself. I have to think about the girl! She's in her youth and is in the golden age of studying. Wasn't I too selfish to waste precious time by her side? No, he had to think of a way to get her to resume her studies and get into a famous university. However, this girl was too stubborn and difficult to coax. How can I convince her?"
Yan Yihu and Liu Junfang went to their hometown, Kaoshantun, to deliver the car. After leaving Sanhe City, the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the road gradually decreased. Liu Junfang pestered Yan Yihu to learn how to drive. "Daddy, let me try. Can't you drive slowly?”Yan Yihu couldn't do anything to her, so he let her drive for a while when there were no cars on the road. After driving for a while, she stopped for a while and taught her how to drive step by step. It took her three hours to drive the 70-kilometer road before she arrived at Liu Junfang's house.
Hearing the car engine, Liu Junfang's parents came out to welcome her. When she saw her daughter drive back in a new car, her face lit up with joy. Yan Yihu opened the car door and got out of the passenger seat to greet her parents. Liu Baozhong took a few steps forward and held Yan Yihu's hands. Two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes and he did not speak for three minutes.
Liu Junfang broke the silence between the two fathers.""Dads, what are you staring at? Hurry up and enter the house!" Liu Junfang's mother poured two glasses of water and placed them in front of Yan Yihu and Liu Baozhong. Liu Baozhong calmed down and said to Yan Yihu,""Elder brother is helping us like this, how are we supposed to reply!”As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.
"We're family now, so there's no need to stand on ceremony," said Yan Yihu. I consider that you can't solve your family's difficulties just by farming. You have to do some business. This small truck could do some transportation. Can you drive?"
Baozhong Liu blushed and said,"A little, but not very experienced."”
"Then you have to practice well. Only after you're familiar with it will you be on your way." He had to get a driver's license before he set off. Driving without a license is a fine."
Liu Baozhong said," With a car, other problems are easy to solve. I will definitely work hard to do a good job in my business and change the poverty of my family.”
Yan Yihu said to Liu Junfang,"Girl, find a spacious place to practice driving." Be careful, don't drive into the ditch." Liu Junfang happily led her younger brother and sister to practice driving. There were only three adults left in the room.
Seeing that he had sent the children away, Liu Baozhong approached Yan Yihu and asked,"Is Xiaofang obedient? Did I cause you any trouble?"
Yan Yihu said,"Xiaofang is really a good child. Don't worry!" I have something to discuss with you. Xiaofang was very good at math and had a sharp mind. Her foundation in literature was also very solid. She was a good material. In the past, she had dropped out of school because of her family's difficulties. Now that she had passed the difficult period, she should persuade him to continue studying. Otherwise, it would ruin the child's future. However, I couldn't persuade her no matter what. She was troubled by the thought of repaying a debt of gratitude. The better I treated her, the more unwilling she was to leave me. I have to give her something powerful and break her heart completely before she leaves me. As long as she went home, it would be easy to persuade her to go to school. I'll be responsible for all of Xiaofang's school expenses. Just don't tell her. Don't tell her these things, and don't persuade her to go to school now, lest she sees through our plan. He would only persuade her to go to school when she had calmed down after crying enough.”
"How do you want to persuade her?" Liu Baozhong asked.”
Yan Yihu leaned close to Liu Baozhong's ear and told him how to force Liu Junfang to go home to school. "This is indeed a good idea," Liu Baozhong said. But going to college costs a lot of money. How can I let you bear it?”
Yan Yihu said,"We're family! Don't stand on ceremony."
"I'm worried that Xiaofang won't be able to withstand this blow and will make a fuss at home," Liu Baozhong asked.”
Yan Yihu said," We must not be soft-hearted when we should be ruthless. Not going to school will affect her future." Don't be afraid of her crying. She'll calm down after crying enough.”
Liu Baozhong looked at Wang Xiuqin and said,"Brother is right. We are all doing this for her own good." Even if they find out that we lied, they won't hate us.”
After lunch, Yan Yihu said,"Girl, it's rare for you to come home. Stay with your parents for two days!"”
"There's nothing urgent at home, so I went back with Dad," Liu Junfang said.”As he spoke, he pulled Yan Yihu's hand and left. Liu Baozhong and his wife were very happy to see Xiao Fang jumping around happily like a happy little monkey.
After saying goodbye to his parents, brothers, and sisters, Yan Yihu and Liu Junfang took a bus back to Sanhe City. On the way, they started chatting again.
"Girl, who gave you your name?" Yan Yihu asked. Why is she called Junfang?"
"My grandfather named it," Liu Junfang said.”
"Junfang, what does it mean?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said," Grandpa loves to raise Clivia. When Grandpa hugged me, he smelled the same fragrance as the Clivia. So, he named me Liu Junfang."”
"You still have a little fragrance now," said Yan Yihu. I thought it was the shampoo on your head. Later, I opened the shampoo you used and smelled it. It was different from the scent on your body.”
Liu Junfang said,"When I was young, I could smell the fragrance from far away. When I grew up, the fragrance became much lighter." If one's sense of smell wasn't too sensitive, they wouldn't be able to smell it from two meters away. In winter, the pores on her body contracted, and her clothes were very thick, so she couldn't smell the fragrance. When I'm excited, my body fragrance spreads faster when I sweat. It's easy to smell it.
Yan Yihu said happily,"The girl's body fragrance is natural. She doesn't need to spend money on perfume."”
"Dad, I haven't asked you yet!" Liu Junfang said. Why was a gentle and refined gentleman named Yan Yihu?”
"When I was young, I was very strong, so my father called me Hu Zi. My family is all weak scholars. They hope that I will become a tiger general, so I took the scientific name Yan Yihu.”
Liu Junfang said," I've never been afraid of heaven and earth since I was a child. I'm not afraid of ghosts and gods. I dare to say it and I'll take responsibility. It would be great if we could change our names."”
Yan Yihu used his hand to scratch her nose and said,"You naughty girl, you're so rude. It seems that I really can't spoil you too much.”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, tell me a story. I'll fall asleep when I'm in the car."”
"If you're sleepy, then go ahead. Children sleep a lot," said Yan Yihu.
Liu Junfang said,"I can fall asleep in five minutes."”As she spoke, she lay down in his arms and closed her eyes.
Yan Yihu hugged her gently with both hands. After a while, he heard her snoring. He thought to himself,'This girl doesn't snore at home. She must be pretending to be asleep now.”He used his hand to gently poke her armpit. Liu Junfang suddenly burst into laughter.
Liu Junfang said,"I was sleeping soundly. Why did you tickle me?"”
Yan Yihu said,"I know you're not asleep.”
Liu Junfang leaned her head on his shoulder again and asked in a low voice,""Let me ask you a question. Daddy, answer me truthfully, okay? To be honest! If I wasn't a girl, but a boy begging in the square, would you help me?”
Liu Junfang said," In the beginning, I really didn't see that you were a girl. You had a tomboy's head shape, and you were as thin as a stick. You didn't have any physiological characteristics of a girl. Didn't I donate to you?"
Liu Junfang said,"I said that you took out all your savings to save our family." There must be a reason for this."
Liu Junfang said,"I see that your family is so difficult that they have no way out. It's only natural for you to help the poor."”
"I might as well ask Dad directly, do you like me?" Liu Junfang asked.”
"Can't you feel it yourself whether I like it or not?”
Liu Junfang said,"I'll let Dad say it himself."”
"I like it, I like it! I like it very much! Are you happy now?"
Liu Junfang said,"I knew it. Dad treats me like a baby." I'm so blessed! He really wanted to shout and sing!”
Yan Yihu whispered into her ear,""Don't make a racket in public. It will affect the rest of the passengers.”
Liu Junfang said," I have another question to ask Dad. You are a top student at XX University. Why did you work in a small city like Sanhe City?"”
Yan Yihu said,"I'm a bookworm. It was okay to go to school, but the job was not suitable for the trend of social development. When I was in junior high school, I taught myself high school courses. When I was in high school, I taught myself advanced mathematics in university. When I was in high school, my geometry teacher was sick, so I took her place to give lessons to my classmates. I was also the best student in university. After graduation, one-third of our classmates went abroad to develop themselves. One-third of them went to the State Science and Technology Committee and the Education Committee as officials. The remaining one-third of them set up businesses in the country. A few of his classmates had founded a company with assets of more than 100 million yuan. I also formed Tianyi Electric Power Automatic Technology Development Co., Ltd. with a few people. According to my qualifications, I should be the chairman or general manager, but I can't adapt to social trends. I'm not cut out to be an official. At that time, the company needed to develop the sales market in Sanhe City and set up a branch office in Sanhe. No one was willing to go to Sanhe, so I volunteered to go to Sanhe Branch. Therefore, I am the worst among my classmates.……”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, you can't compare like this." It was not just about how much money one earned, but also about their personality, morality, and awareness. If one was unscrupulous in order to earn money and get promoted, it would be better to be poor. I think Dad is the smartest, wisest, most outstanding, kindest, cutest, and the best father in the world.”
"Being praised by my daughter, I'm the most, most, most…happy! The car is about to reach Sanhe. If we get too drunk, we won't be able to get out of the car.”They got off the coach and took a taxi home.
For the past few days, Yan Yihu had been thinking about how to persuade Liu Junfang to return to school. This girl was indeed good material. She could endure hardships, had perseverance, and was smart and intelligent. He would definitely become a talent if he nurtured him well. She refused to listen to his persuasion many times, so he could only make up his mind to put pressure on her. No matter what, she could not ruin her future.
On Sunday, Liu Junfang rested at home. When Yan Yihu knocked on the door and entered the room, he deliberately looked worried. He sat on the sofa without saying a word, thinking about how to deal with this stubborn girl. He was an honest man who did not know how to lie, so he felt uneasy when he lied. Time and time again, he comforted himself that his white lies were for the sake of the girl's future. Letting the girl stay by his side would harm her.
Liu Junfang saw Yan Yihu's solemn expression and asked without saying a word,""Dad, you don't look well. Are you sick?”After saying that, she touched his forehead to see if he had a fever.
Yan Yihu removed her hand and said,"I'm not sick. I'm just upset."”
Liu Junfang gently rubbed his chest and said,""Is there a problem at work? If there's a problem, think of a way to solve it. Don't be anxious.”
"It's not a problem at work. It's a problem at home," Yan Yihu said word by word.”
"Aren't Godmother and brother in America?" Liu Junfang asked in surprise. What's the problem?"
Yan Yihu pushed his hand away and said,"My wife is critically ill in the United States. She called me to ask for money to treat her illness."”
"How much money do you need?" Liu Junfang asked. Quickly think of a way to solve it!"
" The medical fees in the United States are very expensive," Yan Yihu said." It costs 60,000 US dollars, about 500,000 RMB.”
"What should I do if I need so much money?" Liu Junfang asked anxiously. Our family has used up all your savings. Now that you're in trouble, how can I help you?”Liu Junfang was so anxious that she circled around the room.
Yan Yihu saw Liu Junfang's anxious look and felt a little heartache. He pulled her to sit on the sofa and said,"Girl, don't worry. I'll think of a way!”
"What can Dad do?" Liu Junfang asked.”
"There's only one way now, and that's to buy a house. I can buy these two houses for 500,000 yuan.”Speaking of this, he was a little proud. Without a house, there was no place to live. Without a home here, Liu Junfang naturally had to go back to her hometown to study.
Liu Junfang asked,"Where will Dad live after selling the house?"”
"What else can we do if we don't sell the house?”
Liu Junfang said,"You will definitely suffer losses if you sell the house in such a hurry. You will lose your savings for many years." Can I borrow money from the company to treat my godmother first and then slowly repay her?”
Yan Yihu said,"I'm a person who makes a clear distinction between public and private matters. I can't do things that use public funds for personal use."”
Liu Junfang said,"Isn't it because we need money urgently to cure illnesses and save people?"”
"Don't you know?" Yan Yihu said seriously. Embezzlement of public funds is illegal and will be punished by the law and sentenced! Do you have the heart to let Dad go to jail?”
Liu Junfang saw that her father was a little angry and hurriedly said,""We can't use public funds to think of other ways. No matter what, we can't let Dad go to jail!”
"What else can we do besides selling the house?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad has a lot of classmates and friends. You can borrow some money from them!"”
Yan Yihu said,"My classmates and friends are all 'business-savvy.' I can't lend them money and affect their business. Even if I ask them to lend me money, they might not be able to lend me.”
Liu Junfang said," When my family is in trouble, you helped without holding back. Now that your family is in trouble, I stand by and watch. Am I still human?”After saying that, she began to cry.
Yan Yihu wiped her tears and said,"You're just a little girl. You don't have the ability.”
Liu Junfang lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head again and said firmly,""You saved my life. Dad, don't buy a house anymore. Just sell me!”
Yan Yihu was shocked. He went forward and stroked her hair. Besides, it won't cost much!"
"How much can I sell it for?" Liu Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu said," I can only sell it for 100,000 yuan in the country. At most, I can sell it for 200,000 yuan. If I sell it overseas, I can sell it for 500,000 yuan.”
Liu Junfang said firmly,"As long as you can sell me for 500,000 yuan, sell me abroad!"”
Yan Yihu said,"You won't be able to stand it if you sell them abroad and become slaves.”
Liu Junfang said,"My life is worth 500,000 yuan."”
"Girl, don't talk about selling people." Yan Yihu said. Human trafficking was illegal and absolutely not allowed. The most realistic way was to sell the house. I plan to sell my house and go to America as soon as possible. Saving people is like putting out a fire. I can't care about you now. Pack your things and go home!”
After he said this, an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart. Ever since he had the girl, there was warmth and happiness in the house. If the girl really left, how would he spend his lonely and boring days?
Liu Junfang said,"Let me go to America with you to serve Godmother!" Dad was getting old and needed someone to take care of him. If necessary, I can work in the United States to earn some money to supplement my living expenses.”
Yan Yihu said," It's a long journey to the United States. The plane tickets are very expensive. The procedures for going abroad are very difficult. You shouldn't go."”
Liu Junfang looked at his pained expression and said,""If you really can't take me away, find me a place to stay! I can work and earn money. I'll wait for you in Sanhe City. When you come back, we'll rent a small house for the time being. When we have money, we'll buy a big house.”
Yan Yihu thought to himself, If the girl doesn't leave Sanhe City, she won't return to school.”"Now, human traffickers are rampant in Sanhe City. It's very dangerous for a young girl like you to stay in Sanhe City. If the human traffickers took it away, you would be finished. So, you should go back to your hometown in Fengyang to study!”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, I don't want to go to school anymore. I just want to be with you." As long as I can see you every day, I will be satisfied.”
"It'll take me at least a year and a half to go to America to treat my wife," Yan Yihu said. Hurry up and go back to school. Come back after you get into Sanhe University in a year. We can still live in the same house. I'll help you find a good job after you graduate from university. It'll be great if you have a bright future and a brilliant career!”
Liu Junfang said," I don't want to have a career anymore. I just want to live a stable and dull life with you." As long as I'm with you, I'll be happy. I'll be very sad to leave you.”As she spoke, tears welled up again.
Yan Yihu said," Girl, don't cry. Don't be sad. I'll definitely return to China as soon as possible. We'll meet soon."”
Liu Junfang wiped her tears and said to Yan Yihu,""Dad, we said that we would always be by each other's side. Do you really have the heart to leave me behind? I can't leave you anymore. Take me away! I've already grown up. I'll definitely listen to you and be a good girl. I can still earn money to support myself in the United States. I won't give you any trouble.……”
"How can I take care of you when such a big thing has happened at home?" Yan Yihu interrupted him. Don't give me any more trouble. Let's go back to our hometown!”
Liu Junfang burst into tears again when she heard that Yan Yihu was in a hurry to chase him away. But thinking about it calmly, he couldn't help the other party when they were in trouble. He was still causing trouble here. He should leave quickly! She packed her things and said," Take care, Daddy." Then she walked out.
Yan Yihu took out an envelope and stuffed it into Liu Junfang's pocket.""Take good care of this ten thousand yuan. Be careful on the road and don't let the pickpocket steal it. Go back to school and study hard. You must get into university.”
Liu Junfang gave him the money and said," This is Godma's life-saving money. Now is your most difficult time. How can I take your money?"”After saying that, she took her luggage and rushed out of the house.
Yan Yihu wanted to send her off, but he had to be ruthless! If she continued to be so wishy-washy, she wouldn't be able to leave. If she couldn't leave, it would affect her future. He opened the window and looked at Liu Junfang's back as she left. His heart was heavy and his tears flowed out. What a good child! Just like that, he chased her away. They already had deep feelings for each other, so it was really hard for them to part. Loneliness and loneliness tormented his broken heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
Liu Junfang left Yan Yihu and stumbled back home. She didn't say a word and went into bed to cry. Her parents asked her without saying a word. After crying for three days without eating or drinking, his tears were dry, his strength was exhausted, his face was sallow, and he was on his last breath. Her parents had no choice but to circle around her. Who could persuade her? She could only ask her godfather, Yan Yihu, to persuade her. However, he had set up this trap to make Xiaofang leave Yan Yihu and come back to school. If he came to his house to persuade Xiaofang, the whole plan would fall through.
His mother called his father into the courtyard and whispered,""We all want her to go to school in peace, but if she doesn't eat or drink and cries like this, she'll die.”
"It's been three days since we last ate rice. Can you persuade the child?" Even if it's just some water!"
Her mother lifted the blanket and begged her softly,"Xiaofang, you're a sensible child. Drink some water! If a person is dehydrated, their life will be in danger."
Dad said,"Mom and Dad are so anxious. Why aren't you obedient?!"”
Liu Junfang slowly opened her eyes and said intermittently,""I feel terrible. I don't want to drink water or eat.”
His mother said,"If you feel uncomfortable, just say it. It's even more uncomfortable to hold it in."”
"It's useless to say anything," Liu Junfang said.”After saying this, he closed his eyes and did not say anything else.”
Her parents stayed by Liu Junfang's side for a long time and tried to persuade her. "It's fine if she doesn't want to go to school. It's good that she's with her godfather." Yan Yihu won't mistreat her."
Her mother also said,"She doesn't want to go to school. She can't blame anyone else. Let her be!"”
Her mother lifted the quilt covering Liu Junfang's head and helped her tidy her messy hair. She said,"Xiaofang, stop fooling around. If you really don't want to go to school, we won't force you anymore.”
"I'll tell you the truth! There's nothing wrong with your godfather's family. He doesn't have to go to America! Eat some food and recover your energy before you go find your godfather!”
Liu Junfang vaguely heard her parents say," Godfather doesn't have to go to the United States if there's nothing at home." She immediately raised her head and asked,"What are you talking about? Is Godfather alright at home?"
"Your godmother isn't sick. It's your godfather who urged you to go back to school. He lied to you for your future. Don't blame him.”
Liu Junfang immediately sat up from the bed and asked,""What is it? Say it again!"
Liu Baozhong said again,"Your godfather is afraid of ruining your future, so he asked you to go back to school."”
Liu Junfang said," He said that his godmother is critically ill in the United States and needs to sell her house to get money for her treatment. Did he lie?"”
"If your godfather didn't say so, could you have gone home?" Liu Baozhong asked. This is all for your future."
Liu Junfang said,"He actually lied to me. I'll go back and settle the score with him!"”
His mother said,"He did it all for you. When you go back, you have to serve your godfather well. Don't be crazy and mess around with him."”
Liu Junfang said,"This farce must have been planned by the three of you. You must have worked together to lie to me and force me to come back to school." I'm already grown up. I know what to do. You shouldn't have done this. That's too wrong!"
"Think about it carefully. Why are we doing this? Isn't it for your future?"
"Of course I know!" Liu Junfang said. I know that the mastermind of this scene is Godfather. You'll see how I deal with him when I get back.”
"You mustn't mess around," his mother said."He doesn't have any ill intentions or selfishness. They still have to pay for your tuition fees when you go to university. What's wrong with you?”
Father said,"He is our benefactor. We must not be ungrateful."”
At this time, the dark clouds in Liu Junfang's heart disappeared in an instant. She said happily,""Mom, I'm hungry. Make me something to eat.”
Dad smiled and said,"Look, my wife, Xiaofang's illness is cured with these words!"”
Liu Junfang said,"You guys teamed up to lie to me. You almost tortured me to death."”
Mom said,"We're all doing this for your own good."”
After Liu Junfang ate something, she wanted to go back to Sanhe to settle the score with Yan Yihu. She stood up and took a few steps, but her legs felt weak and did not listen to her. After resting for a day to recover, he hurried back to Sanhe.
Ever since Liu Junfang left Sanhe, Yan Yihu had been in a trance and depressed. He lay on the bed that the girl had slept on, his heart surging with thoughts. When she left, it was as if she had taken her heart with her. The depressing atmosphere enveloped his heart again. The chirping magpies disappeared, and the lively and lovely swallows flew away. The intense work might be able to fill his empty and lonely heart, but once he was idle, he would fall into the abyss of confusion. He was secretly amazed. Why couldn't he take care of his own happiness and the girl's future at the same time? If he didn't let her go, he would ruin her future. I can't be selfish. I should do my best to support her and nurture her. But how was she now? Are you still crying?
Just as Yan Yihu was deep in thought, he heard someone open the door with a key. He jumped up from the bed and saw that the servant girl had returned. He was surprised at first, but then he felt melancholy. He was happy that his daughter, whom he had been longing for day and night, was back, but he was worried about how to coax her back to school. It would be difficult for her to go back.
When Liu Junfang saw her father at home, she hurriedly went up to him and held his hand."Dad, did you sell the house?"
Yan Yihu hesitated for a moment before saying," I've made an agreement with the buyer. Tomorrow, I'll hand over the house and the money will be paid. We'll go to the real estate transaction hall together to handle the transfer procedures." Girl, why are you back?"
Liu Junfang said seriously,"Dad is in great trouble. Can I still stand by and watch?"”
Yan Yihu said,"I see that the girl's complexion is quite good. She didn't cry, right?"”
Liu Junfang said,"How can I cry? I've grown up!"”
Yan Yihu said,"Good child, you should go home. You can't help here."”
Liu Junfang said,"How can I be at ease when you're in trouble?"”
"You can't be of any use here. It's better for you to go back. As the saying goes,"Father and daughter are birds of the same fate, when disaster comes, they fly separately."》Let's…"
Before her father could finish, she interrupted him."Wrong! Daddy was so wrong! Originally, it was said that husband and wife were birds of the same fate.》We are father and daughter! Could they still go their separate ways when a disaster was imminent? When our family was in trouble, did you fly away? No, he didn't. You're in trouble, so of course I can't fly. Therefore, this sentence should be changed to,'Father and daughter's affection is as deep as the sea, and they will never leave each other in all kinds of difficulties.'》Dad is in trouble. I will definitely help you get through it.”
Yan Yihu looked at Liu Junfang's face and asked in confusion,""Girl, how can you help me if you don't have money?”
Liu Junfang tapped her nose and said,""I am money! I'll sell myself to the South African people and get 500,000 yuan for Dad. You don't have to take responsibility. You can get through this.”
When Yan Yihu heard Liu Junfang's words, he rushed forward and hugged her tightly. Tears flowed out of his eyes and sprinkled on her face. Liu Junfang wiped the tears from her father's face and said,""Daddy, don't cry. Daddy, be good. I know Daddy won't sell me. I'm Daddy's little baby. Even if you sell me, you won't be willing to sell me yourself. But what I can't tolerate is that you actually ganged up to lie to me and chase me home.”
"Who lied to you?" Yan Yihu asked.
Liu Junfang said," You still don't want to tell me the truth. Back in my hometown, Mom and Dad have already told me that Godmother is not sick at all. You don't have to go to America."”
Yan Yihu saw that the "scheme" had been exposed and said embarrassedly,"We were all kind enough to let you continue your studies and train you to have a bright future.”
"Good intentions!" said Liu Junfang. Could good intentions do the job? Did you know? It's your "Kindness" that almost tormented me to death. If my parents didn't tell me the truth, I would have died.”
"Do you think I want you to leave me? I can't wait to be with you every day. However, you are at the right age to study. If you bury your precious youth by my side, I will be your sinner. We had no choice but to do this.”
Liu Junfang said,"The poisonous influence of 'all things are inferior except reading' in the minds of you feudal 'old fogeys' has not been eliminated yet. Did he have no future if he didn't go to university? Did going to university mean a bright future? Wrong! It was a huge mistake! There were so many university graduates nowadays. Were they all capable? Elites who had never gone to university were everywhere. Why must I go to university? I can still do something even if I don't go to university."
Yan Yihu said anxiously,"Girl, I know you're filial and grateful. You're a good child. I like you from the bottom of my heart." However, it's precisely because you're my good child that I can't let you stay by my side and waste your precious youth.”
Liu Junfang said,"Everyone has their own ideals. You can't impose your will on me." I don't want to go to university, but you insist that I go to university. Isn't that forcing me? I am in charge of my life and I am in control of my happiness. What I don't understand is that you, an honest and proud father, actually lied to your daughter and said that you were doing it out of kindness. Please put away your kindness! I will never leave you. I will be with you forever.”
When Yan Yihu heard these words, he lowered his head and pondered."I didn't expect this girl to be so stubborn and unreasonable. If I don't think of a way to convince her, I'll harm her. How can such a good child be buried by my side?”
Liu Junfang saw that her father was in a serious mood and thought that her words were a little presumptuous, so she comforted him and said,"I know Dad has good intentions. Everything you did was for my future. Don't worry! I won't hate you or blame you. Actually, I like Daddy even more. You're even closer than my biological parents. You think of me in everything and are always caring and considerate. However, I want to make a request to Dad.”
"Tell me! Do you have any requests?"
Liu Junfang said,"No matter what happens, Dad, don't hide it from me. You can't lie to me."”
"Daddy doesn't lie," said Yan Yihu.”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, look me in the eyes and say it three times."”
"Daddy won't lie, Daddy won't lie, Daddy will never lie to the girl! ----- You naughty girl, I seem to have become a child.”
After saying that, the two of them smiled from the bottom of their hearts. The clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared after the rain. The happiness of family was restored.
