Chapter 10 Is Today a Good Day?
An Ran hummed a song as she rode her electric bike briskly, heading home in the afterglow of the setting sun. Today is a big harvest. You can tell at first glance that Aunt Su is not an ordinary person. After she uses the skin care products she makes, she is not afraid that no one will come to buy them from her in the future.
When she rode to a remote section of the road, she saw a pile of branches blocking the road from a distance.
An Ran rode over and looked at the branch blocking the road in surprise, thinking that it was not on the road when she passed by this morning. She got off the electric bike and prepared to move the branches away.
Just then, a dark, short and fat man came out from the woods by the roadside.
He walked towards An Ran and reached out to grab An Ran and pull her into the woods.
An Ran raised her foot and kicked him without thinking. The short and fat man screamed and flew far away and fell heavily to the ground: "Ouch..."
An Ran asked him with a cold face: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The man looked at An Ran's pretty face, his squinting eyes emitting a lustful light: "I'm your husband, why don't you come and help me up."
"Husband?" An Ran looked at the horrible face and instantly felt her fists harden.
The man rubbed his fat buttocks that were hurt from the fall, and climbed up in a panic: "Hey, I'm your husband. Dear sister, call me husband again."
An Ran clenched her fists and looked at him coldly: "I'll give you one more chance. Reorganize your words and say it again."
The man thought he was very cool and shook off his greasy hair with his hand: "My family has gone to your house to propose marriage. If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry? Since you are so beautiful, I will not bother with you about the insults you made to me before. Come here quickly and go home with me..."
An Ran couldn't bear it any longer, she rushed over like the wind and kicked him to the ground. He kicked him all over the face.
"I'm your wife? I asked you to come out and disgust me, I'll kick you to death. Don't you have a mirror at home? Why don't you look at yourself? Who gave you the courage to mess with me?"
An Ran stepped on him and kicked him over and over like a football.
"Ouch, ouch."
Li Jiabao had been spoiled at home. As a grown man, he couldn't bear any hardship. He fell to the ground and screamed.
"Help! Someone's been beaten to death."
Li Jiabao rolled on the ground holding his head, his face covered with tears and snot.
An Ran was disgusted by this. She stopped and stood far away from him: "If you do it again, I will kill you."
After saying that, she pulled away the branches that were blocking the road, got on her electric bike and rode away.
Ever since Anran drank the spiritual spring water, her strength has become astonishingly great. Combined with the Chaos Art she practiced, if she hadn't restrained herself, she would have kicked Li Jiabao to death with just one kick.
Just as An Ran was about to reach the door of her house, she saw An Guodong looking out.
A smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face, which was calm just now: "Dad, I'm back!"
When An Guodong saw his daughter riding over, his anxious face also showed a simple smile.
"Nannan is back. Are you tired? Just now your mother said she wanted to go and greet you."
An Guodong opened the gate and An Ran rode her bike into the yard. The yard was filled with the rich aroma of meat.
"Mom, what delicious food are you making today?"
Lin Qingwan walked out of the kitchen holding a spatula and looked at her daughter with a smile in her eyes.
"Ranran is back. Did you have fun in town today?"
"Happy. I also bought clothes for you and my dad."
An Ran took a few shopping bags from the car and placed them on the table in the yard.
An Guodong closed the gate and walked over. When he heard An Ran's words, he immediately felt sorry for his daughter.
Other girls all dress up fancy things, but his daughter only has a few clothes. We are still saving money to buy clothes for him. Why should he, a grown man, wear new clothes?
"Nannan, Daddy has some clothes to wear. I'll return them tomorrow and buy you some new clothes. Girls should dress up well."
"Oh, Dad! I happily bought you these clothes, but I will be sad if you don't wear them!"
An Ran walked forward, hugged An Guodong's hand and started acting coquettishly.
Lin Qingwan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just be happy that your daughter bought you some clothes! Try them on quickly to see if they fit you."
"That's right."
An Ran took out clothes from the shopping bag and handed them to him. An Guodong happily carried the clothes into the room.
"Mom, what delicious food are you making today? I smelled the fragrance as soon as I entered the yard."
An Ran smiled and hugged Lin Qingwan's arm, then sniffed.
"Mom, do you smell something burnt?"
"It's broken. My food."
Lin Qingwan hurriedly shook off An Ran's hand that was holding her arm and hurried into the kitchen.
Anran watched her mother ruthlessly push her away, grinning, and happily followed her into the kitchen.
Lin Qingwan took the plate and put the food in it, muttering: "Fortunately, fortunately, I almost couldn't eat it."
An Ran took out the dishes and put them aside, then saw An Guodong standing at the kitchen door embarrassedly in his new clothes.
"Oh my, my dad is so handsome."
An Ran went over, pulled him into the kitchen, and pushed him in front of Lin Qingwan.
"Mom, do you think my dad is handsome?"
In fact, An Guodong himself is handsome, but he is usually busy working in the fields and his clothes are rather rough. Dressed like this, he immediately reveals the charm of a middle-aged man.
Lin Qingwan looked at An Guodong with a slightly blushing face. An Guodong stood there looking a little shy.
The couple stood face to face, looking at each other, both looking a little embarrassed. There seemed to be little pink bubbles in the air.
An Ran sat at the dining table, holding her forehead in her hand. They had been married for a lifetime, yet they were still so innocent.
"Dad, Mom, if you keep watching, the food will get cold!"
They both turned around suddenly, their faces flushed red.
Lin Qingwan glanced at An Ran in a reproachful manner: "This bad girl, even your parents make fun of you."
"No, I'm just hungry, so I asked you to eat."
Anran had a mischievous smile on her face.
"Nannan, eat quickly. Don't starve yourself."
When An Guodong heard his precious daughter say that she was hungry, he quickly picked up a piece of pork ribs for her.
An Ran was chewing the ribs contentedly, and looking at the table full of food, she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what's the good day today? Such a rich meal."
An Guodong also picked up a piece of pork ribs for his wife, and then was busy peeling shrimps for An Ran.
"Oh, today is not a good day. Your brother will come home tomorrow and he will eat without caring about others."
Uh...An Ran silently felt sorry for her brother for a second.
She took a bite of rice and felt extremely satisfied. This is the taste of home, full of warmth and happiness.
"Mom, I want to go into the mountains tomorrow."
The Daqing Mountain behind the village is deep in the mountains, with dense forests and abundant resources. I heard that there are tigers and black bears deep in the Daqing Mountains. The villagers only dare to walk around the edge of the mountains, and almost no one has ever been to the depths of the mountains.
"No, there are wolves in the mountains. It's too dangerous. How can a girl like you run up the mountain?"
Before An Guodong could say anything, Lin Qingwan had already sternly refused.
"Yes, Nannan, listen to your mother. The mountain is too dangerous. Last time, Dahui from your third uncle's family sneaked up the mountain and encountered such a big python. He was so scared that he ran back with his face pale."
An Guodong made a big circle with his hands and gestured the size of the python.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I'll just look around the outside and find some herbs. I won't go in. I know my own limitations and won't act rashly."
"That won't work! Besides, why are you looking for herbs?"
Lin Qingwan still refused without hesitation.
An Ran sighed silently in her heart. It really took countless lies to cover up one lie.
"Mom and Dad, look at my skin. It has become very good."
Upon hearing this, the couple looked at An Ran's face. Her skin was crystal clear, white and shiny.
Well, my daughter is just pretty.
"Really? Your skin has always been like this!"
Lin Qingwan said doubtfully, and An Guodong nodded in agreement.
Hey, this is the filter of my parents! Have they forgotten her sallow face and dry hair?
"Mom and Dad, my skin used to be sallow. When I was working outside, I accidentally helped an old lady, and she was all alone at home. To thank me, she gave me her family's ancestral beauty secret recipe. Today I went to the county town and met an aunt who asked me to make a portion for her. So, I want to go to the mountains to pick some herbs."
The couple who doted on their daughter mindlessly did not notice that there was anything wrong with An Ran's words. They thought that any good thing that happened to An Ran was normal. After all, my daughter is so beautiful and kind, no one would dislike her.
"Can't we buy it at the pharmacy?"
An Guodong still didn't want An Ran to go up the mountain alone.
"Dad, many of the medicinal materials in pharmacies are fake now. Besides, the medicinal properties of artificially grown ones are not good. I can't just make a substandard product and give it to others. Besides, Aunt Su still has to pay."
"Then...then I'll go into the mountains with you tomorrow."
An Ran suddenly became a little anxious. If her father went to the mountain, how could she get inside? There are no precious medicinal herbs outside the mountain. With her current skills, she will be fine as long as she doesn't go to too dangerous places.
"Dad..., it's really not necessary. You still don't trust your precious daughter. My life is precious. Besides, you still have to go to work with my uncle tomorrow. It's not good to not go without a reason."
With a "puff", Lin Qingwan laughed helplessly. This girl looks gentle and docile, but she is extremely stubborn at heart and has her own plans.
"Forget it, Guodong. Let her go, or she will sneak there one day."
