Chapter 14: Dad!
Kneeling for the whole afternoon, many people came and went. The news of being forced to kneel had already spread throughout the village. As for this, Guihua was naturally well aware.
Mr. Mo didn't let them go to the kitchen to help, probably also because he knew about this matter, so he let them avoid the storm!
Osmanthus couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh at this thought.
How could this be avoided? Not to mention anything else, just according to Erniang Lu's temperament, I'm afraid it would have been made known to everyone long ago!
Just thinking about facing the old face of Xu's family, Gui Hua couldn't help but sigh, and when she thought that Chu Yan was also implicated by herself, her heart felt even more uneasy. "Brother, I'm sorry, this time I implicated you."
"Silly girl!" Chu Yanming caressed Guihua's head with a pampered expression, then slowly stood up from the ground with his hands on the ground.
Kneeling for a whole afternoon, both knees had long since gone numb. Even when she stood up, Chu Yan Nian couldn't stand straight and could only slowly get up before laboriously pulling up Gui Hua.
Chu Yan De is actually a sensible kid. When Chu Yan Nian was on the left side of Osmanthus, he ran to the right side and helped his brother support their sister together.
A month ago, Guihua caught a cold and barely escaped from the gates of hell. Her life was saved, but her originally poor health was made even worse by the ordeal. After kneeling for an entire afternoon, if it weren't for Chuyan's company to distract her, Guihua would have probably collapsed already.
"Can we get up now?" came Chu Lishou's somewhat panting voice from a distance, and the three children turned their heads to see their father running towards them with a hoe on his shoulder, huffing and puffing.
In the afternoon, before going to work in the fields, Chu Lishou already knew about the child being punished to kneel. Guihua and Chu Yannian also told him about meeting Ling Shizi, and reminded their father not to tell others, lest they stir up trouble.
Chu Lishou did listen, and in the afternoon when anyone asked him anything, he would say unclearly that he didn't know, but in his heart he was anxious to no end. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he didn't care whether the work was finished or not, and hastily ran towards the village.
It's just in time, just in time to bring the kids back home.
Three children and their father greeted each other, Chu Lishou didn't say much else, directly hugging Guihua, with the other hand supporting Chu Yannian, while the youngest Chu Yande was responsible for dragging his father's hoe back home, the four of them walked towards home like this.
Everything looks so harmonious.
Osmanthus fragrans was originally a bit uncomfortable, although the body is a twelve-year-old child, but psychologically it has already become an adult in his twenties. Suddenly being held like this, it's hard not to feel very strange.
And this hugging posture is exactly like hugging a child, with myself half-sitting on my father's arm.
But this discomfort was soon adapted to.
Although Chu Lishou's body was full of sweat and mud, Osmanthus did not feel uncomfortable at all.
She who had never felt paternal love before, in this space, truly felt the greatness of paternal love.
Facing her mischief, Chu Lishou didn't scold her at the first time, instead he even hugged himself back home so intimately.
"Dad..." Osmanthus hugged Chu Lixiu's neck with both hands and sweetly called out "Dad".
Chu Lishou hummed and seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly asking: "Guihua, what's wrong? Is your body uncomfortable?"
