Chapter 432
This typhoon came quickly and left quickly. The wind gradually died down from noon, and the dark clouds in the sky no longer rolled as wildly as before, but began to slowly disperse.
When Su Miao finished the exam, the rain had stopped and the bright sun came out. The only bad thing was that the temperature seemed to be rising again.
In the evening, Su Miao didn't plan to read anymore, so he went to the workshop to watch TV with Brother Yu.
Although there is a TV in the living room in the backyard, she always feels that it is more enjoyable to watch it with someone, and they can discuss the plot while watching.
Before she knew it, it was nine o'clock. She planned to go back to take a shower and go to bed early. Brother Yu sent her to the gate of the yard and watched her go in.
As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard my father talking on the phone. I couldn’t hear it clearly, but his voice was a little low and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
However, after hearing her footsteps entering the yard, her father's voice suddenly rose. His acting was really poor, as if he was deliberately concealing something:
"Ah! Miaomiao is back! Great! You did well on the test! Right, right, right! There's still one more day tomorrow!"
Then, his father turned around and said to Su Miao who had just walked in, "This is your second uncle. He wants to ask how you did on the exam."
Su Miao was just about to reach out and say a few words to his second uncle when Su Yuanzheng said into the phone, "Let's not talk about it for now. Wait until the exam is over. Goodbye, second brother."
Then he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Su Miao was full of doubts and couldn't help asking, "Dad, why don't you let me talk to Second Uncle?"
"Ah, ah... What's there to say? Dad has told him everything he needs to say. Go take a shower and rest! I've already boiled some hot water."
As her father spoke, he ran quickly to help her get hot water. His steps were so fast that he almost bumped into the chair next to him.
Looking at his father's slightly flustered back, Su Miao always felt that something was not right.
While taking a shower, she thought about her father's behavior just now. It was indeed unusual.
Whenever her father called home, as long as she was nearby, he would always let her answer the phone and say a few words, and would also share interesting stories about his hometown with her with a smile.
But this time she didn't even hear her second uncle's voice, and her father hung up the phone in a hurry.
Even if you want her to rest early, one or two minutes won't make a difference.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the matter was not simple. All kinds of bad guesses emerged involuntarily in her mind. She was sure that something must have happened, and it was probably a big thing, otherwise her father would not have hidden it from her like this.
So, after taking a shower, Su Miao didn't go back to her room to sleep as usual. Instead, she went straight to her father's room and asked, "Dad, was it really Second Uncle who called you just now?"
Su Yuanzheng didn't expect her to ask about the phone call. He was stunned for a moment, but soon replied calmly, "Yes, it's your second uncle."
Su Miao stared closely into her father's eyes, carefully observing his every subtle reaction. This sentence didn't sound like a lie, so she continued to ask, "What did Second Uncle say on the phone? Is there anything he wants to tell you?"
"No...no, I just wanted to ask how you did on the exam."
"I said I did well on the test. I only have one day left tomorrow to finish the test."
"Dad, when a person is lying, his eyes will often unconsciously look to the upper right. You have already looked twice." Su Miao said seriously.
"No way, what does lying have to do with eyes?" Su Yuanzheng said in surprise. Is his acting so bad?
"Of course it is related. Looking to the upper right is lying, and looking to the upper left is recalling. This is science! If what you said is indeed what your second uncle asked just now, then you should look to the upper left, not the upper right." Su Miao said confidently.
"……oh"
Su Yuanzheng responded helplessly. He knew his daughter was so smart that it would be hard to hide it from her. Su Yuanzheng lowered his head, intending to learn from the quail and hide in his nest, not answering the question.
Su Miao looked at his father's expression, and became increasingly anxious. He asked loudly, "What on earth happened?"
"It's just a small matter. Don't worry about it. There are so many adults here. Just focus on doing well in the exam."
Su Yuan was trying to brush it off and force a smile on his face, but the smile looked so forced.
He sat in a chair, rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, looking uneasy.
Countless guesses flashed through Su Miao's mind. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. Her face changed slightly and her heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened to her family?
She asked hurriedly, "Could it be that there was a typhoon yesterday and Second Uncle helped me go up the mountain to burn incense? The mountain road is so difficult to walk on! Did he fall? Is he injured?"
Seeing this, Su Yuanzheng quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no! No one was hurt! I called your uncle last night and told him not to go up the mountain in the rain. We're setting up the altar in the ancestral hall today."
"Oh! Dad! Please tell me quickly. If you keep it hidden, I will be worried and it will make you do worse in the exam!" Su Miao urged anxiously.
"Actually...it was actually the strong wind last night! Our new batch of papaya seedlings were planted not long ago, and the roots haven't taken root yet. The wind in the village was so strong yesterday that half of the seedlings were blown down.
But don't worry! Team Leader Su went over to check today and said that if they were straightened and replanted, most of them would survive. After the weather cleared up this afternoon, your second uncle and the workers started working.
But your college entrance exam is important, so I wanted to keep it a secret from you so as not to distract you."
After hearing what his father said, Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dad, you really scared me to death. I thought something big had happened!
Team leader Su had previously said that this variety of papaya needs to be protected from wind, and we have also taken wind-proof measures in the field.
But those seedlings haven't fully grown yet, and with the strong wind, it's inevitable that they'll be blown down. We can just follow Team Leader Su's advice and remedy the situation. Why are you hiding it from me?"
There was a hint of anger in her tone, but more of it was relief.
Su Yuanzheng carefully looked at his daughter's expression and said, "Don't worry, it's really not a big deal. Your second uncle and the others have already taken care of it."
His eyes were full of concern, fearing that his daughter's mood would be affected by this incident.
Su Miao waved his hand and said, "Compared to the college entrance examination, this is a trivial matter. Besides, I feel very relieved with Second Uncle here. As long as nothing happens to my family, it's fine."
A relaxed smile appeared on her face, and her previous worries were swept away.
Su Yuanzhenghe followed with a smile and said, "Yes, as long as my family is safe and healthy, nothing else matters."
As he spoke, his gaze fell softly on his daughter, his eyes full of relief.
