Seeing that they were leaving, Yan's mother hurried to the kitchen, got a can of local honey she bought last time in the countryside, and chased after them. When she came back from seeing them off, she noticed that the father and daughter standing in the living room were not in a good mood, so she asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

"Your daughter is so opinionated now. She didn't even tell her father about such a big thing." Father Yan was so angry that he glared at her. It was really too opinionated for his daughter to become so opinionated after not seeing her for a few days.

Such a big thing happened, but they only asked an outsider to go with them. If they were beaten or kidnapped by bad guys, they wouldn't know. Fortunately, the person he met this time was kind. If it was a bad guy, he wouldn't dare to think about it any further.

Yan Sisi stood there obediently and was scolded without saying a word. When she saw her mother looking at her, she quickly sent out a signal for help.

Yan's mother also felt that the lady had been quite chauvinistic recently. She felt distressed when she saw the injured lady coming back to visit her, and she even thought about disciplining her. It was just right to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson, otherwise who knows what she would do in the future.

She turned around and avoided the girl's eyes that were asking for help, walked into the house and started packing the things she would take back tomorrow.

Seeing that her mother ignored her, Yan Sisi didn't know what to say when faced with her father's serious expression, so she could only stand there obediently.

Father Yan continued with a cold face, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Yan Sisi looked up at her father and whispered, "I was wrong for not telling you."

"You didn't tell me anything?"

"I didn't tell you it was fake. I only found out after I went there."

Seeing that his daughter still didn't understand, Yan's father went to get a washboard and handed it to her, saying with a hard heart: "Keep thinking, and get up when you figure it out."

He has been too accustomed to his daughter, causing her to be unaware of the dangers of the outside world. This time he must correct her thinking.

Are those places she can go alone? This time it was lucky. If it was like the girl who ran away and never came back in the past, what would he and his wife do?

The world is much better now than before, but there are still many unknown dangers.

Yan Sisi stared at the washboard in front of her with wide eyes. She did not dare to resist and just took the washboard reluctantly and knelt on it carefully, comforting herself in her heart: He who knows the current affairs is a hero.

When Yan's mother came out after packing up her things, she saw this scene: a man was kneeling on the washboard, and another was standing beside him, looking at his daughter kneeling on the washboard with heartache.

I really don't know what to say. He was the one who asked others to kneel on the washboard, but in the end, he was the one who felt bad.

Mother Yan looked at the stubborn father and daughter and walked forward, "What happened?"

"Ask your daughter."

"Dad asked me if I knew I was wrong. I admitted my mistake, and I shouldn't have forgotten to tell him that the matter has been resolved." Yan Sisi quietly raised her knees and looked up at her mother. She still didn't understand why her father asked her to kneel on the washboard.

Growing up, her father would only discipline her when he was angry, either by making her stand in the corner or face the wall to reflect on her mistakes. It had been several years since the last time she was punished, but she didn't expect that this time he would ask her to kneel on the washboard instead.

Yan Sisi felt a slight pain in her knees. Fortunately, the weather was cold so she wore an extra pair of woolen pants, otherwise her legs would probably be bruised after kneeling.

Upon hearing this, Yan's mother reminded her daughter cryptically, "Your father is also afraid that something might happen to you if you go out alone. Have you forgotten that a few years ago there was a 20-year-old lesbian in your father's factory who went out alone and never came back. Don't you know where you went wrong?"

When Yan Sisi heard this, she was still confused and quickly climbed up the pole. The moment she stood up, her legs couldn't help but bend. She had been kneeling for too long and her knees couldn't bear it.

Seeing this, Yan's father subconsciously reached out to support his daughter, and Yan Sisi grabbed her father's arm and said softly, "Dad, I really know I was wrong. Next time something like this happens, I will definitely come back and tell you the first time. I won't make decisions alone."

She had heard a lot of gossip from neighbors about the missing lesbian in her father's factory. Some speculated that she was kidnapped by traffickers, some speculated that she was thrown into the river, and there were all kinds of speculations.

She really didn't expect that her father was worried that something might happen to her, and thought he was angry because she didn't tell him.

Yan Sisi looked at her father's face, which was still unmoved, and quickly shook his arm, and promised with a serious expression: "Dad, I really know that I was wrong this time. I promise I won't dare to do it again next time."

After saying a lot of reassurances, Father Yan's face slowly relaxed. He said to his daughter earnestly, "Dad doesn't want to restrict your freedom, but it's too dangerous for a girl like you to be out alone. What if something happens to you..."

Yan Sisi immediately thought of the dream in which she committed suicide and her parents passed away a few years later. She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and said with a hint of tears in her voice, "Dad, I know I was wrong."

She will definitely cherish her life and will not make her parents cry all day long like in her dream.

When Father Yan heard that his daughter's voice was not right and that she seemed to be about to cry, he panicked and said, "Don't cry."

Mother Yan looked at the scene in front of her and stepped forward to interrupt, saying, "Okay, you are the one who teaches people, and you are also the one who comforts people. I will sleep with my daughter tonight, and you can go back to your room to rest!"

After saying this, she signaled her husband to leave with her eyes, and she took the girl, who was in a bad mood, back to the room. The two of them lay on the bed and talked for a while before falling asleep one after another.

The next morning, Yan Sisi woke up to the smell of something delicious. She walked to the living room and sniffed the air. "Mom, what delicious food did you eat today that smells so good?"

"It took me a whole can of oil to make these meat pies. How could they not be delicious?" Yan's mother brought out the prepared meat pies. Before she had taken a few steps, Yan Sisi came forward and quickly grabbed a piece.

Yan Sisi just took the meat pie in her hand and threw it back because it was too hot. She subconsciously put her burned fingers on her earlobes to cool them down. She also made two "hissing" sounds in her mouth. Only when the temperature of her fingers dropped did she ask, "Mom, are we going to the countryside today?"

If her mother didn't let her go to the countryside today, she would have to follow her no matter what. If she missed this opportunity to go to the countryside, she might have to wait until the Chinese New Year.

"I'll go back after breakfast and wait for you alone."

Yan Sisi thought that this meant that she could go back with them. He didn't let her go back a few days ago, so why did he agree today without even waiting for her to act coquettishly?

Before Yan Sisi had time to think about it, she was urged again. She quickly picked up the cooled corn porridge and drank a few sips. With her other hand, she picked up a piece of meat pie and started eating it, taking a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of meat pie. After eating two pieces of meat pie and a bowl of porridge in succession, she stopped because she felt her full stomach.

It was a rare opportunity to eat meat pie in the morning. She might not have had it once in the past two months. Why did her mother think of making meat pie today?

The remaining meat cakes on the plate were put into the lunch box by Yan's mother. The weather was cold and the meat cakes could be stored for a long time. She got up early in the morning to make some meat cakes so that she could bring some back for her father and nephew who couldn't cook, so that they could also taste the meat.

At this time, Father Yan came out of the room carrying two packages in one hand. Yan Sisi quickly stepped forward to take one and said, "Dad, why don't you put the package in my space first and take it out when we are almost home?"

Father Yan turned his head and looked at the somewhat boastful daughter with a serious expression, "Remember not to use your space outside. What if someone notices you taking things out without permission? How will you explain it?"

After cleaning up the kitchen, Yan's mother also echoed, "Your father is right. You can use it at home as you like, but you must not use it outside. Otherwise, if someone finds you, they will definitely catch you and study you, and then cut off your blood and flesh."

After being threatened by the two, Yan Sisi obediently promised under the serious expressions of her parents: "I promise you two leaders here that I will never use it outside, and I will not mention this to anyone else. Apart from the three of us, no fourth person will know about this."

Seeing that his daughter understood the seriousness of the matter, Yan's father felt relieved and walked out first with the package. Yan's mother took the package from the daughter's hand and walked out. In the end, Yan Sisi, who was left with nothing, was responsible for locking the door.

Amid the tangled and evasive looks of their neighbors, the three of them left the compound and walked towards the station.

After walking for nearly half an hour, they finally arrived at the county bus station. They saw several red and white cars scattered at the entrance of the bus station, and many people were crowding around the doors carrying large and small bags.

Yan Sisi, who had been here many times and was used to it, ran to the entrance of the bus station quickly, took out 18 cents from her wallet and handed it to the ticket seller sitting at the desk, saying, "Yanjia Village, three tickets."

"Xiao Yan, go back again."

"The weather has been getting cold recently, so I'm sending some things back home." Yan Sisi chatted with the ticket seller Zhang Xiaofen familiarly for a few words, and finally asked, "Sister, are there many people today?"

"It's OK. If you arrive any later, there might not be any seats left. Hurry up!"

When Yan Sisi heard this, she quickly took the three yellow tickets with six cents printed on them and ran quickly to the car parked at the usual place. When she arrived, Yan's father and mother were already sitting side by side in the car, waving at her from the window.

Yan Sisi handed the three tickets to the conductor, walked through the crowd and sat between her parents. The family of three squeezed into two seats, and soon the bus was filled with people, everyone holding large and small bags in their hands.

When it was 7:30, the driver yelled and closed the door tightly. Those who had not squeezed in could only wait for the next bus.

The car was driving on a bumpy road, and Yan Sisi was shaken back and forth. With a strange smell and noisy voices in her nose, it took almost two hours for them to reach the country town.

When Yan Sisi got out of the car, a cold wind blew past. Feeling the temperature was completely different from that inside the car, she sneezed.
