Quick mission: We don't make trouble
Chapter 42 Talk
In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves, bringing a touch of brightness and warmth to the forest. Everyone woke up one after another, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and quickly washed up. They found some wild strawberries for breakfast, quickly ate them, and prepared to continue on their journey.
At this time, Yu Bo stepped forward and volunteered to carry Zhu Yingying for a while. He patted his chest and said confidently, "I slept well last night and my strength has fully recovered. Let me do it!"
Mr. Zhu originally wanted to say that he would carry his daughter on his back.
But Mother Zhu pulled him aside and said first, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyu."
Yu Bo walked over to Zhu Yingying and carefully carried her on his back. Zhu Yingying's light body rested on Yu Bo's broad back, her hands gently clasping his neck.
Yu Bo carried her on his back and walked forward.
Mother Zhu instructed Father Zhu, "Old man, you go ahead and clear the way. Check for snakes and other things. I'll look after you from behind."
Father Zhu whispered, "Why didn't you let me speak just now? Why do you always bother Xiaoyu... It's okay to say it when we were not here, but now that we are here, we should take care of Yingying..."
Mother Zhu: "What do you know? We should give these young people a chance..."
Father Zhu: "What opportunity?"
Mother Zhu slapped him angrily.
Father Zhu suddenly realized: "Ha, you're still thinking about finding a son-in-law. Really? Don't you think about the time?"
Mother Zhu glared at him and said, "Is it not possible? Xiao Yu is a good boy, I think he can do it..."
Mr. Zhu: "Okay, Dr. Chen, whatever you say is fine."
He took a few quick steps, passed Yu Bo and Zhu Yingying, and ran to the front to clear the way.
It’s better to walk in front, so that you won’t be bothered by it.
There is nothing wrong with this young man Xiao Yu, but why does his old father feel like his cabbages are about to be eaten by pigs?
What a pity!
Mother Zhu followed slowly behind.
From time to time she stopped, bent down, and carefully looked for wild strawberries hidden in the grass.
Yu Bo was responsible for picking these small wild fruits yesterday, and she just needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor.
But the situation is different today. Xiaoyu has to carry Yingying on his back and cannot be distracted to do these things.
So Mother Zhu felt that she should take on more work so that Xiaoyu could have an easier time.
Yu Bo, who was walking in the middle, asked Zhu Yingying, "Sister Zhu, do uncle and aunt do this often? It seems very interesting."
Zhu Yingying: "My parents are both doctors, one is a Chinese medicine doctor and the other is an obstetrician and gynecologist. They are so rigorous and serious when they are working, which makes people respect them. But once they retire and return home to have some free time, they are simply two live treasures! Since my sister and I are often not at home and don’t have much time to accompany them, these two old people have to complain to each other to relieve boredom. You bicker with each other, just like two old naughty children with childlike innocence. We are used to it, but if my little cutie Didi is here, the situation will be very different! The two old people are dominated by this little one. Have you seen her?" At this point, Zhu Yingying's face was filled with a doting smile.
Yu Bo: "Yes, she is the little girl who first stopped me to see the glacier stone. She is quite cute."
"It's cute, but also very naughty."
"Children are always naughty."
"Yes. My mom even said I was more naughty than Diddy when I was little."
"You, naughty?" Yu Bo couldn't imagine Sister Zhu being naughty. In the past two days, Zhu Yingying had always given him the impression of being mature and steady.
Zhu Yingying: "You can't tell, right? Hehe. My mom said I was raised as a boy when I was little. My dad would often go out collecting herbs and not come back for ten days or half a month. My mom was busy with work, so she left me and my sister in the courtyard of our hometown to play with the other kids. We were like naughty monkeys, climbing trees to catch birds, climbing roofs to tear off tiles, fighting cocks and playing with dogs. We did everything."
Yu Bo couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. "Now I can imagine and understand." He thought, everyone has their own childhood memories! Perhaps these experiences shaped the Zhu Yingying she is today? However, he still struggled to connect the gentle, steady woman before him with the mischievous little girl she had been as a child. Perhaps people always grow and change with time and circumstances.
Zhu Yingying seemed to see through Yu Bo's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't just talk about me. You must have had a lot of interesting experiences when you were a child, right?"
Yu Bo thought for a moment, recalling some childhood memories: "Well... I also grew up in a compound, but it wasn't a compound like yours. It was a children's welfare home."
Zhu Yingying exclaimed, "Ah, you are an orphan?"
Yu Bo: "I don't know. Maybe. Anyway, I've been in the orphanage since I can remember."
Zhu Yingying: "I'm sorry, I didn't know your background would be like this."
Yu Bo: "It's okay. I'm used to it. The uncles and aunts in our welfare home are very kind to us. We can be said to live in a warm big family, especially our director, grandma. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be a college student.
But she's sick now, and I don't know how she's doing. I originally wanted to take the glacier stone back to see her...
Zhu Yingying was surprised and said, "Oh, so the sick grandma you were talking about is the director of the welfare home."
Yu Bo nodded and said, "Yes. The director's grandmother had no children and dedicated her entire life to the orphanage. She has raised several generations of children! The uncles and aunts who grew up in the orphanage affectionately called her 'Director's Mom,' and my generation and the children after us call her 'Director's Granny.' Although she is no longer the director, she still regards the orphanage as her own home."
Zhu Yingying sighed, "I can imagine that she must be a very kind and respectable old lady."
Yu Bo: “Yes.”
Zhu Yingying: "I'm just a little curious. Why would the director want to see the glacier stone? Does she have any connection to this place?"
Yu Bo: "I don't know the details. I just know that the director's grandmother's hometown seems to be here. She lost her parents at a young age and was left alone. Fortunately, she was taken in by a caregiver from the army and brought to live in the mainland. After she grew up, she stayed in the welfare home and worked hard until now.
I often heard my grandmother talk about glacier stones, and I thought she missed her hometown.
After all, there is a rumor among the people that what the elderly most want to see before they die is the grass, trees, mountains and rivers in their hometown.
That's why I came up with the idea of getting a piece of glacial stone and sending it back to the welfare home.
Unexpectedly…"
Zhu Yingying sighed inwardly. Things went against her wishes. It was just like her family. Who could have expected that she would encounter such a bizarre thing as time travel while traveling?
However, she still tried to comfort Yu Bo, saying, "Don't worry. Grandma will surely be deeply relieved by your kindness. Perhaps she has already recovered and is safe and sound."
"I hope so."
