Chapter 489

"what?!!!"

"Mengmeng, why did you go?"

"Don't go there. If something happens, how can grandma survive?"

"Well, get ready, but..." Teacher Zhou rubbed his chin, pondered for a while, felt the threat from Lu Yulan, and changed course, "Don't go."

"."

Living room at home.

The whole family stared at Zhou Lingmeng, their faces were full of anxiety and impatience, and they tried their best to persuade each other.

After checking the score and filling in the application form, Zhou Lingmeng played wildly for several days, and suddenly felt that it was meaningless, and an idea suddenly came to her mind: she was going to climb a mountain.

Climb Mount Everest.

Since there is a word "Ling" in her own name, she should "know how to be the top of Ling, and see all the small mountains at a glance".

Climb to the top and overlook the world.

Do whatever you want, Zhou Lingmeng immediately told the whole family what she wanted.

As soon as this idea came out, Zhou An's family was flustered and panicked.

At this moment, their family is trying their best to persuade Zhou Lingmeng to give up the idea of ​​climbing.

Zhou An looked at his daughter and scratched the back of his head. He and Hou Mengting are not adventurous people, so why did they have such a wonderful thing?

"Think about it."

"I've thought it through quite clearly." Zhou Lingmeng waved his hand, with a high-spirited look, "In life, you should do something earth-shattering and shocking. I won't risk my life. Let's put 1 Heart is it."

After a pause, she turned her head to look at Hou Mengting, hugged her mother's arm tightly, shook her gently, and said coquettishly, "Oh, mom, mom, my mother, my mother, just promise me."

Zhou Lingmeng knew that Hou Mengting was the one who could call the shots in their family.

"Mountain climbing makes you cry ghosts and gods? Do you misunderstand the words "weeping ghosts and gods?" You will never be able to eat four dishes in your life." Hou Mengting glanced at her daughter, dismissed her, and took a deep breath , then said solemnly and solemnly: "No!"

Ask, what is the difference between climbing a mountain and dying?
No!

They are all dead!
She was conceived in October and raised her daughter through all kinds of hardships and dangers, but now she wants to die, what is the difference between that and her old life?
"Dad~" Zhou Lingmeng realized the old mother's resolute tone, and looked frustrated. Then he cast his eyes on Zhou An, and Zhou An spread his hands, helplessly, pouted his mouth, and said to Hou Mengting: "Mom, I've been a child since I was a child." I have been living in Shanghai since I was in college, and I have never seen the outside world. I finally finished the college entrance examination, so I just want to see the outside world, so that I will not feel ashamed when I grow old in the future.
When you checked your score, you promised to unconditionally agree to one request of mine, and my request is to climb mountains. "

Zhou Lingmeng was treated like a daughter by their family.

Hold it in your mouth for fear of melting, hold it in your hands for fear of breaking.

On the one hand, their family loves Zhou Lingmeng, and on the other hand, they are also restricting her free life.

After hearing the words, Hou Mengting frowned slightly. Arriving alone, she is already an independent person. If she restricts her daughter too much, it will have a negative impact.

Moreover, she also understands her daughter, and she is definitely not a compromiser.

Today, with the idea of ​​mountain climbing, it is like a seed planted in the bottom of my heart, and it will grow into a towering tree in a short time.

"Yes." Hou Mengting thought over and over again, nodded and agreed, a bright smile appeared on Zhou Lingmeng's face, ecstatic, and the former's voice changed, "However—someone from our family must go with you. a care."

"I, I, I, I'll go." Hou Lin raised his hand first, his excitement was palpable, and he was obliged to do such a fun thing.

Hou Mengting was a little helpless: "Dad, you are almost seventy."

Seventy old man, climbing Mount Everest, what an inspirational news headline.

Before he climbed up, he sang a little song to send Hou Lin off.

Zhou Lingmeng shook her head, her eyes flicked among the family. The four old people could not be chosen, otherwise she would become a sinner in the family. She looked at Zhou An expectantly, but Zhou An shook her head and said in her heart: You think highly of your father, I can't even climb into bed now.

"Zhou Liang~" picked back and forth, and finally chose Zhou Liang.

"No!" Zhou Liang said with a blank expression on his face, "Mountain climbing is better than staying at home and reading books. You can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. You can understand the changes in the world without leaving your home. Mount Everest has already been climbed in my heart."

"If you don't go, don't go, what's the use of talking about those great principles?"

Looking around, no one was with her, and the loss can be imagined.

She snorted softly, and then stepped heavily, with a lot of resentment and resentment seemingly mixed in her.

Everyone present looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, just when Zhou An's family thought that Zhou Lingmeng had canceled the climbing plan, she suddenly appeared in front of everyone and announced that she already had someone to accompany her on the mountain.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Deng Xi immediately appeared on the stage, with an embarrassing smile on his face.

"Uncle Deng is my godfather, and Deng Xi is my godbrother. That is also our family." Obviously, Zhou Lingmeng has her own set of speech skills, taking advantage of the word "family", her mind is always in crooked ways. is so flexible.

Moreover, it is obvious that Zhou Lingmeng has successfully persuaded Deng Hengtao and Deng Xi, otherwise Deng Xi would not be here.

Facing the triumphant appearance of her daughter, Hou Mengting did not expect the change of things at all, the corners of her mouth twitched, and it took a lot of effort to restrain the impulse in her heart.

As soon as the words are spoken, the horse is hard to follow.

Hou Mengting did not interfere with her daughter's behavior.

The person in charge of the Zhou family has not spoken, and the others have nothing to say.

Before departure, Zhou An, Deng Hengtao, Zhou Liang, Zhou Lingmeng, and Deng Xi went to the mountaineering supplies store to purchase corresponding equipment for their two children, including alpine tents, backpacks, down sleeping bags, alpine boots, sweat-wicking thermal underwear, GORE-TEX jackets and pants, a series of must-haves.

Zhou An asked the clerk to recommend high-quality mountaineering equipment for them, and said helplessly to Deng Hengtao: "Why is Deng Xi messing around with Zhou Lingmeng? Don't you stop it? You are only a child, and you want him to inherit your age. Family business."

In his impression, Deng Xi was a well-behaved child, so well-behaved that he didn't look like a child from a wealthy family at all.

Unexpectedly, the biggest loophole appeared in Deng Xi's place.

"Hehe." Deng Hengtao smiled, "Well, well, brother An, don't worry, as long as you are fully prepared, mountain climbing is not as dangerous as you think, otherwise there won't be so many entrepreneurs and rich people who like to climb mountains. Those people are all greedy for life and afraid of death, so they must be quite safe to do it.

Besides, I don't want Deng Xi to go either, but Deng Xi has never asked me for it for so many years, and I finally want to go mountain climbing, and I have no reason to refuse."

"Why does your Deng Xi want to go?"

Deng Hengtao shrugged his shoulders: "Then I have to ask the "old girl"."

In the store, Zhou Lingmeng raised her head and raised her eyebrows, walking in front with high spirits, followed by a clerk, who would buy whatever mountaineering equipment she saw. The clerk lowered his head slightly, smiling brightly, like a flower blooming .

Looking at Zhou Lingmeng, he is by no means an ordinary person, his body exudes an aura of wealth from the inside out.

It has been a long time since they have seen such a wealthy customer in their shop.

The clerk silently glanced at Zhou Lingmeng, feeling joyful and envious at the same time.

Everything I pursued, a rich second generation can easily get it, but just for personal interest, it costs astronomical sums that ordinary people can't imagine.

Sometimes you can't help but feel sad.

But that trace of sadness quickly disappeared. I finally met a big client today, and I should serve him well. After finishing today's ticket, I went to the club to find a male model.

Chic!

Thinking of the male model, I couldn't help but feel joy in my heart, and I felt grateful to Zhou Lingmeng.

Zhou Liang and Deng Xi walked slowly.

Putting his hands in his pockets, Zhou Liang asked, "My "sister" is full of muddleheads. She is crazy, so you are crazy too, right?"

"Hey." Deng Xi smiled flatly, "Brother Meng is right, life needs occasional stimulation, not to dilute the original peace, but to use another way to find the answer you want, even if it's just a little bit, It's also interesting enough. I think she has a good idea, so I naturally agreed."

Zhou Liang stopped in his tracks and stared at the other party with his eyes. Those eyes seemed to penetrate through the clothes and skins, reaching deep in the other party's heart: "No, no, it's definitely not the reason."

"What's wrong?"

"Zhou Lingmeng can't say such educated words."

Zhou Liang knew her "sister" too well, she would only answer concisely about many things, like or dislike, and would not use a bunch of big reasons to prove whether her actions were right or wrong.

"." Deng Xi was silent, and also remembered Zhou Lingmeng's character, "I forgot that Brother Meng hates the truth."

The two grew up together, so it wasn't too embarrassing, he paused, and continued: "Hey, I can't help it, Brother Meng often pestered me a few days ago, she followed me wherever I went, I had no choice but to agree Yes, and she also gave me a hand-knitted scarf, which she said was the first time she knits a scarf."

After hearing the words, Zhou Liang was silent, silent, and silent again.

Looking up at the sky, at this moment, the hot sun outside was blazing fiercely, the ground was scorching hot, and even Cicada closed his mouth because of the sun.

Zhou Liang swallowed his saliva: "Are you fucking sick, right? Do you have any sense of time? In the hot summer, who the hell knits a scarf? Also... Zhou Lingmeng weaves a scarf? This is the best I've heard in ten years Laughing joke."

Zhou Liang did not expect that Zhou Lingmeng's method of deceiving Deng Xi was so clumsy and stupid, he did not hide his behavior at all, and what was even more stupid was that Deng Xi believed it.

I believe Zhou Lingmeng will knit a scarf for him.

The three of them grew up together anyway, and they should already know what Zhou Lingmeng is.

Deng Xi finally came to his senses, widened his eyes, and replied in an unbelievable tone: "You mean?"

"Should have bought it bah! Definitely bought it."

"Zhou Liang, are you spreading rumors?" Zhou Lingmeng's voice came over, and then he put a hand on Deng Xi's shoulder, staring at his younger brother, "I bought the scarf and improved it."

"How much improved? Ten percent 5.00%?"

"Don't worry about it."

Deng Xi twitched the corner of his mouth: "Brother Meng, I don't want to climb the mountain anymore."

Zhou Liangmeng's hand on Deng Xi's shoulder bent slightly, clasped his neck tightly, smiled slightly, like a pool of rippling spring water: "No! You got on my boat, that's me I have the final say on when to get off the boat, otherwise, I will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."

"."

Mountaineering seems to be a very low-cost outdoor sport, but it is actually a luxury sport. A set of standard equipment for climbing Mount Everest costs five figures, which is just an expense.

For the safety of the two children, Zhou An paid a high price to hire professionals to lead the two to climb the mountain, and the price was even higher.

In addition to food expenses, transportation expenses, vehicle expenses, mountaineering registration and management fees, etc., a series of consumption is hundreds of thousands.

Inside the airport, Zhou An watched Zhou Lingmeng and Deng Xi disappear into the airport.

He couldn't help but sighed, and now he finally realized the feeling of "a child travels thousands of miles and a mother worries".

Zhou Lingmeng has never left him since he was a child, and has been living in the magic city. Suddenly, after a long time of separation, it seems that there is a piece missing in his heart, empty.

At night, the sky is full of stars, like diamonds scattered on the sky.

Hou Mengting walked out of the bathroom while wiping her wet hair, and asked, "Going away?"

"Yeah." Zhou Anping lay on the bed, looking lazy.

"Reluctantly?"

"I said no, do you believe it?"

Hou Mengting sat at the dressing table: "I don't believe it."

"Then what are you asking?" Zhou An rolled his eyes. This bitch likes to ask inexplicable questions. He put down his phone, walked to the dressing table, picked up the hair dryer, plugged it in, turned on the hair dryer, and immediately picked up the hair dryer. The black and beautiful hair blew up, "You are not an adventurous person, and I am not an adventurous person. Why do you think that kid wants to climb? I can't figure it out."

After a pause, he suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, his mouth widened, and he looked extremely shocked: "Hiss, isn't Zhou Lingmeng my child? Hou Mengting you"

Snapped--!
Before she finished speaking, Hou Mengting waved her right hand and slapped Zhou An on the face. Her voice echoed in the bedroom, and she said angrily: "Zhou An, you bastard, my mother worked so hard to give birth to you, and the child is actually yours!" Not yours, you fucking failed my trust in you."

Zhou An was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Pfft——!
Looking at Zhou An's almost unstoppable expression, Hou Mengting couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately burst out laughing, with the spring breeze blowing on her face, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Zhou An finally came to his senses and thought about it for a while: "You are amazing and beautiful."

"Indeed!" Hou Mengting raised her head slightly, proud of it, "My old lady has always been very good."

Having said that, she paused for a moment: "Zhou An, are you fucking driving?"

"I'm a decent person."
