Leisurely Cultivation Time

Chapter 117 Meeting Halfway

Just now I heard the little girl say that the home is a little far away, but now I am walking on the road and realize that the distance is really far away.

In fact, it doesn't mean that it is very far, but Ye Fei was driving so fast that he was about to collapse.

Now Ye Fei understands what is called the eighteenth bend of the mountain road, and now Ye Fei feels that he has passed more than eighty bends.

Forget about bends, it’s still all uphill, even if it’s uphill, it’s still all dirt roads.Fortunately, the weather has not rained these few days, otherwise Ye Fei's mentality would have collapsed.

Now Ye Fei has already switched to manual transmission, and then slowly grinds up from one gear to two gears.

Now Ye Fei already knew the little girl's name, Gao Meifang.

After driving for half an hour, Gao Meifang said that she had gone two-thirds of the way.Ye Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.Thinking that two-thirds of it has survived, it is not bad for this one-third.

But Ye Fei thought of a little girl like Gao Meifang carrying things to such a far county to go shopping, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.

He couldn't imagine it in his heart. Maybe the downhill would be faster when he went, so what about coming back?All the way back is uphill, and it takes more than half an hour to drive by yourself, so what about walking?
Ye Fei asked Gao Meifang softly: "Meifang, did you go down this road with your things in your hands in the morning? Would it take a long time to walk?"

"No, I only walked for about an hour. I walked alone on a small road. The road is straight and leads directly to the foot of the mountain." Gao Meifang said.

"Then where do you have lunch?"

"I brought two rice balls down the mountain myself."

"How can the two rice balls be full after walking such a long distance? Are you hungry?" Ye Fei asked gently.

Gao Meifang didn't respond to Ye Fei's question, but lowered her head. In fact, she was already hungry, but she was embarrassed to say it.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yi took out the bun from the storage box without Ye Fei saying anything.

This is the usual breakfast for the two of them. During this period of time, they were too busy to cook breakfast, so they prepared a lot of small bread in the car.

"Come on, eat something to fill your stomach first. Don't starve. You are still developing at such a young age. You must protect your body." Xiao Yi grabbed several small buns and handed them to Gao Meifang.

Seeing Gao Meifang's embarrassed look, Xiao Yi said: "Take it, don't be polite to my brother. I will go to your house as a guest later, and my brother will not be polite to you later."

"Thank you brother." Gao Meifang said softly.

Then he took the bun, put it on the seat, and opened it.

"It smells so good." Gao Meifang smelled the smell of the buns and suddenly felt even hungrier.

One bite, it is soft and sweet, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.Soon a small bread was eaten by her.

"Come on, drink it with water, don't choke." Xiao Yi said as he handed his bottle of mineral water to Gao Meifang.

"No, I brought water myself." Gao Meifang waved her hands repeatedly.

"I've seen it all. You've finished drinking the water in the kettle. Take it quickly. I've said it all. Don't be polite with your brother."

"Thank you brother." Gao Meifang took the mineral water from Xiao Yi's hand.

Only then did Xiao Yi turn around, and didn't look at Gao Meifang again. He found that Gao Meifang was very shy, and when he looked at it himself, she felt embarrassed to eat.

Gao Meifang was relieved to see that Ye Fei and Xiao Yi didn't pay attention to her.

Then she quietly took a few small buns and put them in her pocket. They were so delicious that she wanted to take some of them home for her parents, brother and sister to taste.

Just like that, Gao Meifang ate silently in the back row of the car, Ye Fei and Xiao Yi were also thinking about something in their hearts, and the car was very quiet for a while.

Suddenly the roar of a motorcycle reached the ears of the three of them, and then the car had just turned a corner when they saw a motorcycle approaching. There was a man and a woman on board. The man was in his forties, and the woman was 22-[-]. about.

"Abba." Just when the motorcycle and the car intersected, Gao Meifang suddenly called out.

Upon hearing Gao Meifang's cry, the motorcycle owner stopped a short distance ahead, and Ye Fei also found a relatively flat place to stop.

As soon as the car stopped, Gao Meifang couldn't wait to open the door and ran out.

But after running for a few steps, he lowered his head, with a timid look on his face, and evasive eyes.

As for the two people who got off the motorcycle, the middle-aged man grabbed a small wooden stick and shouted at Gao Meifang in local dialect when he came over:
"Where did you go? Why didn't you go to school? Why didn't you go to class in the morning? Do you know that the teacher is about to cry when he can't find anyone?"

As he spoke, the man raised the small wooden stick in his hand to hit Gao Meifang.

Fortunately, the girl behind reached out to stop her. She protected Gao Meifang behind her, and then said to the man:
"Father Meifang, we just agreed not to beat the child. Let's talk slowly. Meifang is a well-behaved and sensible child. She must have a reason for doing this. Let me tell her."

At this time, Ye Fei also said in a helpful way: "That's right, big brother, talk about things, don't hit the child, Meifang is a well-behaved child, she will definitely not do things for no reason."

"That's right, it's wrong to hit a child, it will leave a psychological shadow, and you have to find the reason first." Xiao Yi also persuaded.

Seeing what other people said, the man slowly put down the small wooden stick in his hand and said to Gao Meifang, "What do you mean? Where did you go this morning? Why don't you go to school?"

Gao Meifang lowered her head and said nothing, tears rolled in her eyes.

The girl turned around and squatted down and said softly to Gao Meifang: "Tell the teacher, why didn't you come to school today, and where did you go at noon?"

"I went to the town to sell things." Gao Meifang said with a sob.

"Meifang is so good, she can sell things by herself. Then you told the teacher what you are selling?"

"Go to sell small bamboo shoots, bracken, and the mushrooms I picked on the mountain in the morning." Gao Meifang said, wiping away tears.

"Then you sold it?"

"Yes, the two big brothers bought both for 80 yuan." Gao Meifang pointed to Ye Fei and Xiao Yi and said.

The female teacher said softly: "80 yuan? It's so little. You go up the mountain early in the morning, then walk down the mountain to the town with your things, and stand there waiting for others to choose. If you don't have those two A big brother sent you back, and you have to walk back by yourself. You only earn 80 yuan in one day, which is really small in the teacher’s opinion.”

After a pause, she said to Gao Meifang again: "If you are willing to study hard and learn a lot of knowledge, when you grow up, you can earn 800 yuan with the same energy, so do you choose 80 yuan or more?" How about ten times the 800 yuan?"

"Eight hundred." Gao Meifang replied.

"But your current knowledge is not enough for you to earn 800 yuan, so you need to learn, learn a lot of knowledge, and you will be able to do it in the future."

"I don't want to study anymore." Gao Meifang shook her head and said.

The calm expression of the man behind him changed, and he raised the small wooden stick in his hand and said to Gao Meifang, "What did you say?"
