Chapter 192

At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark and chilly. The ground was like a black rag soaked in cold water and then frozen, emitting a damp chill.

The grass on the ground was covered with frost.

It rained and snowed again last night, but fortunately it stopped before dawn. The moon and stars came out, and the weather looked good enough to prevent us from going out for fun today.

It's just that the ground is slippery.

Aunt Yu didn't want her to go anymore and kept nagging her, "Girl, why don't you go another day? The path is slippery and you don't want to fall and get hurt again. Or you can wait until daybreak."

The child was unhappy: "I don't have any free time this month. If I don't go today, I will have to ask for leave if I want to go later. Then my salary will be deducted. Mrs. Chai doesn't like people asking for leave either."

Aunt Yu: "Then let's go tomorrow. Let the sun shine on the road and melt the ice. The road will be easier to walk on tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is for me to catch up on sleep. If I go tomorrow, I won't get enough sleep and will be very tired the day after tomorrow."

"Can you play for a while?"

"do not want!"

She deliberately put her vacation time together just to have more fun!

Aunt Yu muttered again, "Look at the sky! There are clouds in the distance again. What if it rains or snows again?"

"It might rain tomorrow, too. I'll just bring my rain gear."

The child didn't listen to her.

Aunt Yu is good in every way except that she likes to nag and worry, which is a bit annoying.

Moreover, when the child went to work or to the Zhang family's house, she never said anything about bad weather. She would just urge her to go faster and earlier. She did the same even during holidays. But as soon as the child wanted to go out and play, she would nag a lot.

After muttering to herself, and seeing that the child hadn't changed her mind, she helped her prepare, and said with some worry: "I don't know if the young eunuch Chen you mentioned will show up as promised. What if he doesn't come because the weather is bad?"

The child pouted angrily: "Then I'll go by myself, Aunt Yu, please stop talking!"

I just listened to her mumbling all morning.

"Okay, okay," Aunt Yu agreed, then turned around and said worriedly, "Wear more clothes. Don't be so pretentious. It's so cold, and wearing such thin clothes makes you look silly. Besides, we're going to Fayuan Temple and we're going to climb mountains. How can we wear a skirt? It's so troublesome and bumpy. Take it off quickly and put on this outfit. Be obedient, or I won't let you go."

Aunt Yu had a fierce look on her face and used both coaxing and threats to strip the child of his favorite clothes and replace them with warm cotton clothes.

The child wasn't cold at all, but she didn't listen.

She couldn't stop the child from running, but if he ran away, wouldn't he have to run back? In order to make her shut up, the child had to change his clothes and eat something to fill his stomach.

She was so focused on the famous vegetarian food at Fayuan Temple that she had no appetite for food. Aunt Yu felt that she had not eaten enough, so she stuffed two large pancakes into her arms before she left.

The bloated child carried a straw hat on her back, an egg in her pocket, and a pair of wooden clogs in her bag. Aunt Yu was afraid that she would be too hot in the sun, so she asked her to bring a set of thin clothes. She was also afraid that she would be thirsty, so she asked her to bring a water bag.

She confiscated the money given by Zhang Fengci and exchanged it for some copper coins and small change that were worth spending, which she then stuffed in several places on her body.

This is not going out to play.

If you give her some dry food, she can travel far away.

It's no wonder Lian Li joked when he saw her: "What? You owe too much debt, are you planning to run away?"

The child, carrying a bag and a bamboo hat, stared at him with a droopy face, not looking happy at all, and asked:

"Where are your things? You didn't bring anything with you?"

"No, I just need to bring the silver."

This makes so much sense!

But the child had no money to bring.

Aunt Yu was so cruel that she only gave her one or two taels of silver and told her not to spend the money recklessly.

The child pouted and looked unhappy.

Lian Li was dressed like a young man in fine clothes, walking lightly on the road, and the child following him looked like an inconspicuous little maid.

Who can be happy about this?

Lian Li also thought those things were cumbersome and didn't want to help her carry them. Instead, he gave her a bad idea: "It's not important, just throw it away. I'll buy you a new one later."

The child wanted to, but shook his head and said, "No, Aunt Yu will keep nagging me."

"Didn't you say that she used to be a servant in a wealthy family? Why is she so stingy?" Lian Li asked in confusion.

The child spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. I'm not from a wealthy family. She always says that you should worship the mountain and chant the sutra according to your wishes, and eat the food according to your time. If you have money, you can live a different life. But I don't have any money. I still owe money."

"Does she know about those tens of thousands of taels?"

"No."

"That's what I told you," Lian Li chuckled. "If she knew, she wouldn't let you out to play."

The child wanted to refute, but she had nothing to say!

Aunt Yu is a very frugal person in her life.

She buys the cheapest everything, saving whenever possible and not trying to save at all. It's a good thing the child is her daughter, not her daughter, otherwise she would control her even more strictly.

"What do you care!" The child pouted unhappily and asked, "How far is it?"

"It's still early. About two hours from now, if we're lucky we should be able to catch the first pot of vegetarian food."

Child: "It's not the first incense, so why does it matter which pot it is?"

"The second pot will be at noon."

As soon as Lian Li finished speaking, the child pulled him and ran away: "Why don't you hurry up, what will happen if it's gone?"

Lian Li:……

He ran for quite a distance, but he couldn't keep up. He gasped and waved his hands, saying, "Stop running, stop running. It's late. I'll treat you to a meal. Even if there's nothing left, I can ask them to make something else."

"That will cost money, right?" The child went there for free.

Lian Li: "I want my life more than money."

It's a two-hour journey, and it's hard enough to walk there. Now she wants to drag him there to run. That would be the end of him.

Child:……

The child really wanted him to save some money and return the money for the tea, but Zhang Fengci didn't let her say that. She could only think indignantly: It would be a waste if I don't spend it!

Then she slowed down her pace and when she reached the city gate, Lian Li pointed to the carriage shop and asked her if she wanted to take a carriage.

Anyway, it’s not a child, so why not spend money?

She climbed up happily, took out the big pancake from her arms and shared it with Lianli.

He also drank up all the water in the water bag.

When I got off the carriage, I felt a little lighter.

The child, full of energy, decisively rejected Lian Li's suggestion of riding in a sedan chair and climbed up the mountain by himself.

Looking excited.

Lian Li couldn't go in the sedan chair by himself, so he could only resign himself to his fate and climb up behind her.

I complained in my heart: How can I not enjoy the blessing I have? Climbing up must be so tiring.

Child: It doesn’t matter if I’m tired or not. This is so much fun.
