A loud and fierce slap.
But it wasn't hit on Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan opened his eyes and found that Xia Yuan's father was half-kneeling on the ground, slapping his cheeks continuously.
“Daddy…don’t do this…please…please!”
Xia Yuan cried and pulled her father. After beating her several times, Dad Xia hugged his daughter tightly.
"Yuanyuan, Dad has been looking for you everywhere today. When I couldn't find you, I thought about many, many things."
"I've been busy with my career these years and haven't had time to spend with you. If I had spent more time with you and mom, you would definitely not have run away from home."
"When I think about the possibility of losing you forever, when I think about you being hurt by bad people out there, I feel like my heart is about to break. My heart is broken, you know."
"If that's the case, Dad will never forgive himself in his life."
"Don't be like this... Dad... I'm wrong too."
Xia Yuan rubbed his eyes and said, "I shouldn't have made you and mom so worried... I won't do this again, I promise."
"In this way... then Daddy also promises you that I will not mortgage our house anymore, and I will sell the loss-making restaurant. From now on, I must spend more time with you!"
"Ok!"
"Xia Xun, you brat!" Xia Yuan's grandmother began to pat her son-in-law's shoulders vigorously. "A man should keep his word. Don't fool my precious granddaughter. I will supervise you closely!"
"I know, I know..."
Xia Yuan's father was already grimacing as he spoke, and it seemed that he had already suffered greatly from it.
Anyway... Fortunately, things did not develop into the worst case scenario that Mei Fang had imagined.
Xia Yuan’s father still loves his daughter very much.
Perhaps it was because of this love that he did not want to leave his daughter to suffer alone in this world.
But no matter what, this reason is still not enough to cover up the fact that you were not worthy of being a parent in the previous life.
This matter cannot be considered truly settled yet, and the current commitments will only be recognized when they are implemented.
Only in this way can what Mei Fang knew in his previous life be regarded as a parallel universe.
In addition, as the plan to run away from home progressed, Mei Fang still had a very puzzling question in his heart.
I've been missing for so long, why haven't my parents even called me?
Could it be that I am the one who lacks the love and care of my family?
Taking into consideration that they had to go to school the next day and poor Xiao Mei had not yet seen her parents, the group decided to drive back to Baimei County overnight.
Xia Yuan's uncle was also in the car, so they could take turns driving without having to worry about driving fatigue.
Xia Yuan snuggled in her mother's arms and talked a lot. After a short nap, she suddenly woke up.
She glanced at Mei Fang, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
"what happened?"
Xia Yuan leaned over and whispered into Mei Fang's ear.
"Mei Fang, let me tell you, I just had a terrible nightmare."
"What nightmare?"
"I dreamed that I was having dinner with my parents. It was a very, very sumptuous dinner."
"Mom and Dad also poured me a lot of juice."
"Then, I drifted off to sleep."
"Then, my mother held me and kept crying. She cried for a long, long time."
"I had never seen my mother cry so hard, so I cried too."
"After that, my father and mother also drank the juice and fell asleep with me."
"We slept so soundly that it seemed as if we would never wake up again."
Mei Fang raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked in a gentle voice:
"Weren't you asleep? Then how did you see it?"
"Hmm... let me think about it..."
"let me see……"
Xia Yuan lay on Mei Fang's chest and fell asleep again in a daze.
While no one was paying attention, Mei Fang gently kneaded Xia Yuan's fair face, feeling the beauty of life.
Chapter 033 A Small Lottery
Mei Fang was sent back home. When he opened the door, only his sister Mei Ya greeted him. His parents were even discussing watching TV.
Little Mei Ya hugged Mei Fang tightly and acted coquettishly in his arms.
"Brother, where have you been today? My whole family is so worried. I thought you didn't want me as your sister anymore."
"I didn't expect that my sister loves me the most..."
Although Mei Fang was no longer old enough to need his parents' love, his parents' indifference to him was something he had never experienced in his previous life. He couldn't help but complain:
"What's wrong with you? My son has been missing for a whole day and there's no news...Aren't you worried about my safety at all?"
"I find it funny when you say that. Since you were in kindergarten, have your parents ever worried about you..."
Mei Lijun yawned and stretched his body. "Okay, no more jokes. We originally searched with Xia Yuan's parents and were anxious for a while, but later we heard that you and Xia Yuan were at her grandmother's house, so there was no need to worry."
"Can you at least give me a phone call?"
After saying this, Mei Fang felt that she was childish.
This inexplicable feeling of grievance should be due to the child's physical condition?
"Okay, okay... Mei Fang, stop complaining. Are you hungry? If you are hungry, there are dumplings in the refrigerator. If you want, you can make them yourself... Oh, mom will cook them for you."
"You definitely wanted me to cook it myself, didn't you?"
"Oh, Mei Fang, let's not talk about this for now..." Xiang Xiaoxia asked, "What's going on with Xia Yuan's family? Tell mom and dad about it."
"Yes, that's it!" Meilijun, who was originally drowsy, suddenly perked up after hearing this, "We stayed up so late just to wait for you."
"Yes! Brother! What happened to Sister Yuanyuan? Tell us quickly."
There was a bright light flashing in little Meiya's eyes, and it was obvious that the whole family was eager to enjoy the show.
Although Mei's father and mother were more optimistic and positive in their previous lives, Mei Fang never noticed that they actually had such funny qualities.
It must be because he was too poor in his previous life, so he couldn't be funny.
Mei Fang simply told his family members the original reason why Xia Yuan ran away from home. Apart from the part where he instigated the whole process, it was quite reasonable.
"I heard before that Lao Xia's hotel has lost a lot of money in the past two years. It turns out to be true."
Mei Lijun pondered, "If he really sells the hotel, can he pay off the debt? His family used to be so rich, I don't know how it is now... but they should still be richer than our family."
"I think as long as the person is fine and the money is enough, that's enough. Like our family, we are harmonious and happy, without any illness or pain, isn't that enough."
"Mom, I don't agree with what you said."
Xiao Meiya retorted, "When will our family have enough money? Last time I wanted you to buy me that Barbie doll, you didn't buy it for me."
"Didn't you just buy My Little Pony last week?"
"That's not what I want to buy! Yes, yes..."
Mei Ya pointed at her father Mei Lijun who was watching the show and shouted, "Dad insisted on buying it for me!"
The Meili army clapped their hands and sang an adaptation of "The Legend of Nezha" to fight back:
"It's her, it's her, it's her, it's her, our daughter, little Meiya!"
"Dad, you're so annoying! Your singing is so awful!"
Meiya raised her little fist and hit her father's face wildly, hitting him on the cheek.
It seems that respecting filial piety is a fine tradition of the Mei family.
After the rebirth, Mei Fang's family's daily life is always full of joy. That small lottery ticket has indeed changed a lot of things.
After the commotion, Xiang Xiaoxia suddenly called Mei Fang, "By the way, Mei Fang, you haven't visited your grandma for a long time. This week is a holiday, I'm going to find a kindergarten for Xiaoya, can you go to the hospital to visit grandma for me?"
"Is Xiaoya going to kindergarten so early?"
"It's getting late. It's not a good idea for me to stay at home and take care of her all the time. Now that Meiya's household registration has been settled, she can go to school."
"That's great. Finally, I can play with the kids."
Meiya is lively and outgoing by nature. Although she is only 3 years old, she is already the kind of wild girl who can't wait to play with noodles all day long.
"What about mom? What does mom do?"
Xiang Xiaoxia explained, "My father works very hard, and I am too idle at home. I have to find a job, otherwise I will be so sorry for him."
……
The topic suddenly became heavy.
The lottery ticket that Mei Fang bought caused a major world line change in her family.
First of all, the hundreds of thousands of dollars won by the lottery made my parents well fed and warm... well, anyway, they became very loving;
Lin Youxi, who Mei Fang brought home, made her mother want to have a daughter, and then her younger sister Mei Ya was born;
The birth of my younger sister inevitably led to my mother's resignation, but in her previous life, my mother worked until Mei Fang went to high school.
Due to the infinite love that Mei Lijun and his wife have for their daughter, and the reduction in their source of income, the hundreds of thousands that Mei Fang had earned before... I'm afraid it's not enough to spend?
Don't worry, my dear, next year is 2006!
As long as I can make it to the World Cup once more, I can sell my Fantasy Westward Journey account, buy a few hundred lottery tickets from him, and contribute my own tremendous strength to our small family!
Um, who was the 2006 World Cup champion?
First, I would like to rule out my favorite Pantos Eagle! 18 years is French chicken, 14 years is German chicken, 10 years is Dutch chicken... No, it's Spanish chicken!
