The manor was hidden in the lush greenery. Even the wooden plaque of the manor was entangled by ivy beside it. Only a few words could be vaguely understood: Xiangshan Parent-Child Experience Villa.
They got out of the car. Tao Tao frowned and looked around."Is this the place? It didn't look like there was anything fun to do!”
At this moment, a receptionist came over and led them to the reception room inside. He Li went straight to the point." I came here because I saw a recruitment plan on your website. I didn't read it carefully. What kind of rural experience is this?”
A young lady served them a cup of tea and introduced them,""Our rural experience plan is like this. You only need to rent a piece of land here, each piece of land is dozens of square meters, and then your family can grow vegetables there and experience the joy of planting with your children. We have experts in agriculture here to guide you. We use organic fertilizer to adjust the ridges, dig holes, bring your family, you plant, I cover the soil, experience and record the farming process in the private plot. When the harvest season comes, you can still harvest the green vegetables that you planted yourself. Isn't that the happiest thing for your family? Moreover, this process was the best way to close the distance between their loved ones.”
He Li nodded and continued to consult her about related matters.
Tao Tao couldn't stand it anymore. She quietly pulled Jin Xiaomao outside and whispered,""Let's ignore her and go out for a walk first.”
Jin Xiaomao followed them out. In the fields not far away, there were already several families clearing the weeds in the fields. It might be the first time that the city people had such close contact with nature. They worked and took photos. They laughed and made fun of each other. It was a happy and worry-free rural life.
"Uncle, there's a waterwheel over there! Bring me over to play!" Tao Tao pointed at the pond not far away. As expected, there were a few waterwheels beside the pond. One of the waterwheels was being used by another family to turn the water.
"Alright." Jin Xiaomao squatted down, carried her on his back, and ran to the waterwheel to play with her.
He Li signed the agreement with the staff and received the sunblock bamboo hat that was given to him. Under the guidance of the staff, they arrived at the land she rented.
"Good!" He Li agreed and called Jin Xiaomao and Tao Tao over to work.
They ran over. He Li distributed the bamboo hats to the two of them. Tao Tao put them on and also felt that they were very cute. He Li said," This piece of land belongs to our family from now on. Taotao, we'll plant cabbage and radishes here in the future, okay?"”
"Alright, then what should we do now? There are so many weeds here." Tao Tao asked.
Hence, the three of them got busy. Of course, He Li did not forget to take out his phone to take some pictures of the labor scene as a souvenir in the future.
When they were tired, they would go to the pavilion in the fields to rest. The pavilion was quite big and spacious. Not only was food sold there, but tea was also provided. It was very thoughtful. Tao Tao, on the other hand, was unwilling to be left out. He ran to the side to play with the children in the neighborhood.
Jin Xiaomao ran over to get two cups of tea. The two of them drank one cup each. He Li looked at Tao Tao who was playing happily in the distance. She suddenly felt that perhaps now was the best time to tell Jin Xiaomao the truth, so she asked,""What do you think of Tao Tao?”
Jin Xiaomao felt that he liked to play around, so he replied,""Tao Tao is smart and cute. She's also quite obedient. I quite like her.”
"Then I'll tell you something. Don't be angry.”He Li gave him a heads-up.
"What is it? Tell me, I'm not angry." Jin Xiaomao answered.
"I brought you and Tao Tao here today to let you and Tao Tao get closer. If possible, I hope that we can bring her here every weekend. The family of three can grow vegetables and play here happily.”He Li paused for a moment and took a sip of herbal tea before continuing," Do you understand what I mean by a family of three? You and me, and Tao Tao. What I want to tell you is that Tao Tao is not my sister's daughter. She is my daughter.”
Jin Xiaomao seemed to have fallen into an ice hole from the dog days. How could it be fake? From the mute incident at the beginning, to the BMW, to the company's general manager, she had never been honest with him about anything. Now, she even hid the matter of her daughter from him. Did she ever have any sincerity for him? He suspected, seriously suspected.
"I'm sorry. I didn't tell you at the beginning because when we first started chatting, I felt that Tao Tao had nothing to do with you at all. Later, I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that this matter would affect our relationship. It wasn't until a few days ago when you went to my house and my mother was extremely unhappy with you that I thought it through. If we really want to be together, we have to face these very realistic problems together. That's why I specially brought my daughter here today to tell you about our relationship. This is also the first problem we need to solve.”He Li said slowly. She didn't expect Jin Xiao Mao to forgive her immediately. After all, she had lied to him.
Can I forgive you for everything just by saying sorry? No! You don't even know how much this hurt you. This has seriously affected your perfect image in my heart. It made me suddenly feel that the person standing in front of me now was no longer He Li, but another woman who looked exactly like you and had the same name. Besides, why do you, He Li, believe that I'll be willing to listen to your arrangements and be your daughter's stepfather willingly? Jin Xiaomao thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't help but cover his face and shout,"Ah!"
This voice was either a kind of dissatisfaction or a kind of venting! No one knew what was going on. Perhaps he was the only one who knew.
Of course, this voice also shocked all the people resting in the pavilion. They looked at them in surprise.
He Li was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Jin Xiaomao to have such a big reaction. She lowered her head and tried to cover her face with her bamboo hat. She whispered to Jin Xiaomao,""Can you not be so loud? People would laugh at us and think that we broke up.”
Seeing that he was no longer speaking, He Li continued to lower his voice and said,"I admit that I was wrong, but I do have my own difficulties. I'm afraid that you'll run away once I say it, okay? "Now, just treat it as our first meeting. I'll tell you directly that I'm divorced. This child is called Tao Tao. The court has ordered me to take care of him. That's the situation. What are you going to do?”
"Don't force me. I haven't thought about it yet. When I've thought about it, I'll go and find you.”Jin Xiaomao took off his bamboo hat and threw it on the ground. He turned around and walked straight to the entrance of the villa.
He Li stared blankly at his back as he walked away. His eyes could not help but become moist.
The parent-child rural experience ended prematurely. Would the parent-child activity be complete without the male protagonist?
The staff member was very understanding and helped He Li pack his things very attentively. When they drove away, he did not forget to wave at them. However, these scenes could not affect the woman's mood at all. She could only drive silently in frustration.
"Mom, where's Uncle Jin? Why didn't he come back with me?”Tao Tao asked curiously.
He Li didn't say anything because she had already seen a familiar figure striding along the path they came from.
"Uncle Jin, isn't that Uncle Jin?”Tao Tao also saw him.
He Li stepped on the accelerator and caught up to him. She stepped on the brakes and stopped beside him. She rolled down the window and said quietly,"You'd better get in the car. After all, this place is too far from home.”
At this moment, Tao Tao also stuck his head out and said,"Uncle Jin, how rude of you to run away without telling me? You're obviously in the wrong, so I can forgive you! But if you don't get in the car, we'll cut ties in the future. I'll never talk to you again.”
Therefore, Jin Xiaomao could no longer find a reason to refuse and could only get into the car.
