However, when Fu Dabai rushed forward, he discovered.

Nothing! Nothing!

The girl squatted there peacefully, and there was only a tree stump in front of her. There was no jackals, tigers, leopards, black bears, blind beetles, or even pheasants, rabbits, or big black mice.

He threw down the dead tree fork in a rage, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat her, but when he lowered his head...

"Monkey head?" Fu Dabai said subconsciously.

Yuan held up the white, slightly yellowish thing in his hand, which looked like a half-head with hair, and showed it off:

"Big Bang! I saw it right away!"

There were still dewdrops on the Hericium erinaceus in the morning, making it wet and exceptionally fresh.

Ah Yuan fondly touched it, just like touching a puppy, not minding the completely different feel of the two, and said happily:

“Sell it!”

Yuan knew that Hericium erinaceus could be sold for money. His family had picked one before, and his grandmother asked the family to sell it.

Fu Dabai took it and weighed it:

"It's more than a pound. If dried, it can be 100-200 ounces. That's enough. Let's go back!"

Fu Dabai threw the monkey head into the basket and pulled Yuan away:

This unfortunate child is so scary! He won't go to hell with her!

A Yuan hugged a tree.

Fu Dabai:? ?

"Why don't you leave? Then I'll leave you here."

A Yuan shook his head: "That won't do. What if I get lost or can't find my way home? Grandma and Mom will miss me, and you will be beaten by them every day."

Fu Dabai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are not that old, but you know the situation well. Why don't you leave?"

Yuan looked at him with sparkling eyes, full of longing:

"Let's look for more! If we find one more, we'll have two eggs each!"

Yuan was shocked when he heard the price. A monkey head is worth only 20 or 30 coins! That's too valuable!

If they had a few more, they could eat egg custard for several days! If they had one more, they could have two eggs each!

With the valuable monkey head, A Yuan became inflated and proud. Suddenly, A Yuan felt that one egg per person was not enough!

Fu Dabai rudely broke her fantasy:

"You thought that was the cabbage in the field? If you pull one out, there's still one left!

Your father has lived for thirty years and has only seen four or five of them in total, and you want another one.

I guess you are just sleepy and talking in your sleep. Come on, let me take you back to sleep."

Fu Dabai didn't want to work anymore. Anyway, the money was enough, so he decided to go back and take a rest.

Ah Yuanyi dodged his hand, hugged the tree with both hands, and poked his little head out, saying unhappily:

"Then there are also dandelions and so on!

Dad! Don't be lazy, work harder, and when I make money, I'll give you two eggs!"

Fu Dabai: ...Thank you! But your father just wants to go back to sleep!

But under his daughter's expectant gaze, Fu Dabai still felt embarrassed to say that he just wanted to be lazy.

He could only sigh resignedly, took out the piece of iron, squatted down, and pretended to dig out a wheel grass and throw it into the backpack.

Yuan smoothed the straps of the backpack with satisfaction:

"Dad, you dig hard, I'll dig over there!"

Fu Dabai nodded indifferently, watched her walk to a nearby place, and started digging again.

Fu Dabai simply put down the backpack, found a big rock to dust off the dust and sat down.

He won't dig! It's not tiring enough!

It was almost time for dinner, so Fu Dabai called out "Yuan".

Yuan ran back happily with her full little backpack, but when she saw her father's backpack... her happiness suddenly disappeared!

There was a thin layer of dandelions, a monkey head, and a handful of mugwort in the backpack. There was so little that Yuan could even see the bottom of the basket!

A Yuan looked at his father with grievance and anger.

Fu Dabai looked pitiful and complained:

"Alas! Dad is old and can't dig anymore. It's useless. Yuan, do you dislike Dad?"

Yuan: ...

Fu Dabai pretended to wipe away his nonexistent tears:

"You really despise me. It's okay. When I get older, I will run away from home and hide in the mountains. I will never cause you any trouble."

A Yuan said in a quiet voice:

"Grandpa Wang from Grandma Wang's family always tells his sons and daughters-in-law this every time he wants to eat meat:

"I am old and useless. You all despise me. I can't even eat a bite of meat! It's okay. If you really despise me, I will go away and hide in the deep mountains. I will let the blind bears eat me, the wolves dig me out, and the tigers take me away. I won't cause you any trouble."

Then he immediately had meat to eat.”

Ah Yuan bent his back and imitated Old Wang's behavior vividly, then said angrily:

“I just learned this from you!!

You also said, "This old Wang is really amazing. The older he gets, the more unreasonable he becomes!"

You are actually using this trick against me now!!!

You are obviously lazy!!!"

Yuan was about to cry:

"You said you would dig with me!"

Fu Dabai said with a frown, "No, I just agreed to accompany you, I didn't dig..."

Yuan raised his head and looked at him angrily, tears streaming down his face:

"I said I would share my two eggs with you. I even thought you were the best daddy. You were so lazy yet you came to accompany me. In the end, you didn't do anything... I am such an idiot! Woo woo~"

A Yuan lowered his head sadly and wiped his tears.

Fu Dabai: ...Actually, I don’t want those two eggs.

But it was obviously impossible to say it now. Fu Dabai successfully made his daughter cry, then he squatted down and coaxed her skillfully:

"Why are you crying? You yelled at me and scolded me, but I didn't even say anything to cry, but you started crying first.

Stop wiping it, your hands are so dirty, they look like a cat."

When Yuan heard this, he cried even harder: "You are the cat!"

Fu Dabai: ...

"Okay, okay, I'm a cat, daddy was wrong, okay.

I will dig it for you after I finish my meal. When your milk is gone, come back and find me.

This time, Daddy promises to not just stand by and watch, okay?"

Yuan sobbed doubtfully, "Really?"

Fu Dabai didn't want to take it seriously, but what could he do when he had a girl like her who was willing to dig for this thing endlessly just for a piece of egg custard?

This time, Fu Dabai really nodded in resignation, and then proposed a condition:

"No matter if it's enough or not, it's only this one month. I won't do it for one more day!"

Yuan nodded, choked twice, wiped his face with his sleeve, threw his basket into Daddy's big basket, and reached out to hold it:

"I forgive you."

Fu Dabai: ...Thank you!

She carried her daughter Fu Dabai in her backpack and went down the mountain while complaining:

"Whose unreasonable energy do you take after? Your father didn't want to eat that thing in the first place. I didn't help you when I went up the mountain. I didn't help at all, but you still blame me...

This is because I am your father. If it were anyone else, they would have given up on you long ago!"

Ah Yuan put his little head on his shoulder, listening with one ear and letting the other listen, complained a few words, sighed and asked her:

"Are you angry again? Why are you silent again?"

Yuan thought about it, turned his head back, leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"When you are old, you can be lazy every day. I will buy you meat and I won't mind your trouble. You don't have to go into the mountains. There are wolves in the mountains and they will eat you!"

Fu Dabai was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes and said:

"I won't go even if you ask me to, and I'm going into the mountains? You're dreaming. You have to support me when I'm old! You have to take care of me even if I become paralyzed!

Even if you get married, you have to stay in front of me. If you think I’m troublesome, I’ll use my walking stick to beat you every day.”

Yuan’s feelings are all in vain. I was so serious, but you were thinking about beating me!

A Yuan turned his head away unhappily:

"Humph! Bad guy!"

After lying down for a while, he turned back and said angrily:

"I don't dislike you! You don't have a chance to beat me up!"

Fu Dabai chuckled and didn't answer. He pressed her head back on his shoulder, held his daughter in his arms, and walked briskly home.
