Liu Juan looked at Chen Meng’er in surprise. “Meng’er, why are you up?” After all, this daughter of hers usually had to be yelled at to get up in the morning.
“Daddy is going to the city, so I got up,” Chen Meng’er said matter-of-factly. As she answered her mother’s question, she walked into the house and placed the cloth bag on her back on her small chair.
Chen Ping saw the cloth bag on Chen Meng’er’s back and immediately smiled. “This girl, she actually prepared all her luggage.”
“That’s right. When father and mother prepared the luggage yesterday, I also went to prepare.” Chen Meng’er said with a wide smile.
“Your father is going to the city to sell ginseng. Your father himself is not familiar with the city. Why are you going with him?” Liu Juan did not approve of her husband, Chen Ping, bringing his daughter along,
“No, I want to go. I want to go to the city with daddy. Daddy promised before.” Chen Meng’er relied on her young age to act coquettishly and shamelessly. She was completely at ease.
“When did I agree?” Chen Ping wanted to retort, but when he saw his daughter looking at him with that aggrieved look, he swallowed the words that were about to reach his mouth.
Chen Ping and Liu Juan both loved Chen Meng’er from the bottom of their hearts. This time, Chen Meng’er acted coquettishly and shamelessly. She successfully convinced her parents to agree to bring her to the city.
The Chen family village did not have a bus that went straight to the city. When the villagers went to the city, they had to rush to the town first and then take one of the few buses that went to the city. This was also the reason why Chen Ping had to get up so early.
After a few quick bites of breakfast, Chen Ping carried Chen Meng’er’s big cloth bag on his back and pushed Chen Meng’er, who was sitting in the back seat, towards the town.
There was a distance between Chen village and the town, so Chen Ping could not push his bicycle. He had to ride his bicycle. However, the road from Chen Village to the town was muddy. Not only was the road not wide, but it was also uneven. Chen Meng’er, who was sitting in the back seat, was jolted all the way. When they reached the town, Chen Meng’er’s little butt was in so much pain that she could hardly feel anything.
Obviously, Chen Ping knew what it was like. When he was riding his bike, he had already picked a flat road as fast as he could. However, the result was not much different.
When they reached the town, Chen Ping stored the bike and carried Chen Meng’er down from the back seat. “How is it? Meng’er, does your butt hurt? I told you not to follow me.”
“Dad, my butt doesn’t hurt anymore.” Chen Meng’er raised her small face and said. What she didn’t say was that she couldn’t feel the pain anymore. She was still thinking in her heart that she had to let her parents earn money as soon as possible and buy a car as soon as possible. She didn’t want to go to the town or the city in the future and still have to suffer such pain.
Speaking of which, Chen Meng’er still didn’t understand the current situation. Now wasn’t the time to buy a car just because you had money.
Chen Ping, Chen Meng’er, and the others had good luck today. When they arrived at the station, there was a train that had just finished driving in the city. It was about to leave. Chen Ping bought the tickets and carried Chen Meng’er out of the bus that had just finished driving in the city.

Now, Chen Meng’er was only three years old. She was not even old enough to buy a ticket and was not tall enough. Therefore, she could only sit on the lap of her father, Chen Ping.
Speaking of which, in her previous life, Chen Meng’er really had never taken a bus. No matter what she went out to do, she would always have a special car to pick her up. Therefore, she was very curious about this bus.
Fortunately, Chen Meng’er was only three years old, and this was her first time going on a long journey. It was very normal for her to have such a placid expression, so she did not attract anyone’s attention. However, Chen Meng’er’s small and exquisite little face… made many aunties and uncles who were on the same bus very interested in her.
The forty-something-year-old aunty sitting next to Chen Meng’er looked at Chen Meng’er and asked Chen Ping, “Is this your daughter?”
“Yes,” Chen Ping replied with a smile.
“Your daughter is really good-looking. She is even more exquisite than the model in those new year paintings.” If it were not for the fact that everyone was unfamiliar with her and did not dare to touch her, she would have reached out and pinched Chen Meng’er’s little face.
“Hehe.” Chen Ping was quite proud of others praising his daughter, but he didn’t want to show it too obviously, so he could only smile to cover it up.
After someone started the conversation, the Auntie in the car was already interested in Chen Meng’er, who was as cute as a doll. She went forward and asked one question after another. Not long after, where did Chen Meng’er’s family live? How old was she this year? All those miscellaneous questions were asked clearly.
Everyone’s enthusiasm was very simple and without any purpose, she would have stopped her father, Chen Ping, long ago.. However, Chen Meng’er decided in her heart that if her father, Chen Ping, went out to do business in the future, she would have to give him a good sense of self-defense.
