Chapter 19: Guest
When the rumors spread, all the girls who stayed in D City were unlucky.
Forced by rumors, some of those girls moved their families, some got married in a hurry, and some left for others, in short, the ending was not very good.
Since Yulan came back, she has intentionally or unintentionally guided Yumei to work and make money by herself, the money earned by this batch of rag dolls a few years ago made Yumei earn sweetness, and there are still big orders waiting for her after the year, how can Yumei no longer walk on the old road with Chen Liansheng and his wife, right?
As for the other girls in the village, Yulan asked Yumei to take advantage of the time she was wandering around the village in the past few days to tell a few girls about helping at home after the New Year.
All she can do now is provide an opportunity to change, and as for whether others can seize it, it is not up to her.
However, Magnolia didn't have much hope.
Even a person like A-Niang, who doesn't know a single word, vaguely knows that it's not a good place to go, and Yulan doesn't believe that others don't have this awareness.
Those girls may be naΓ―ve, but how can their families be ignorant?
It's just that money is moving, and there is the temptation of high wages and not tired work, and my eyes are blinded by interests and I can't see the risks.
Yulan felt that she had become cold-blooded, and she didn't mind pulling others when she could help.
Self-help is the most reasonable saying.
However, if she wants to go out and stop something, she feels that her ability is limited, and she doesn't have that mind.
The only thing she cares about and can spare her life is her own relatives.
In the back room, Daddy and Auntie were still chattering, and in the outhouse, Yulan listened to her parents talk long and short with a smile, and fell asleep peacefully.
β¦β¦
After the New Year, the Spring Festival is not far away.
Yulan saw that A-Niang was busy preparing for the New Year, and suddenly lacked interest.
When she thought that she and her sister were going to her grandmother's house for the New Year, she couldn't lift her energy at all.
Thinking of staying at her grandmother's house for more than ten days, and fighting with those vegetables every day, Yulan felt even more loveless.
But no matter how reluctant Yulan was, she didn't dare to tell Ah Niang that she didn't want to go, otherwise Ah Niang's tears would drown her.
Li Aihua didn't know Yulan's reluctance, so she asked Yushu to take her two younger sisters to get a haircut.
Yushu is a boy with an inch of hair is very simple, Yumei has long hair and is reluctant to cut, only asked the master to repair some dry and split hair at the end of the hair, only Yulan's hair is half long and not short, and the haircut master pushed a watermelon head.
Yulan looked at herself in the mirror with a bitter face, her face was round with baby fat, and she was paired with a watermelon head, how could she describe it with a "stupid" word.
Yumei looked at her eldest sister who wanted to cry without tears, and smiled unkindly, and Yulan suddenly puffed up.
Yushu saw that it was still early, and coaxed Yulan to take her to play.
Yulan pretended to have a temper tantrum and looked unreasonable, but wasn't it just to make it easier for the brother and sister to talk when they were alone?
immediately asked Yushu to take her to climb the mountain.
Yushu responded to his sister's request, and although he was embarrassed, he agreed.
The wind blows on your face like an ice blade blowing on your face, making you shiver.
Yumei guessed that Yulan probably had something to say, so she walked behind the two of them without saying a word.
The three of them climbed to the top of the mountain, rested for a while, Yulan typed the draft, and then said to the two seriously: "I have something to say to you." β
Yushu couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Yulan's little face being serious, but as Yulan talked about it, he gradually couldn't laugh.
Have had a long dream, can you remember it, suddenly open your mind and learn a lot of skills?
With Yumei's supplement and corroboration, Yushu's face became more and more solemn.
He has always been an atheist, and what Magnolia said today subverts his previous perceptions.
Don't be kidding, it's just a story that exists between the lines, and who would really dare to swear that they saw a miracle and wouldn't send you to a madhouse.
The words Zhuang Zhoumeng, Die, Nanke, Yimeng and other words flashed in Yushu's mind, and only these two words could explain what Yulan said.
However, the most important thing at the moment is not to distinguish between the true and the false, but how to cover up the past.
Yushu has a bit of a headache, but fortunately, there are many types of books that I have saved, so I can just push it here.
As for whether it can stand up to the pitch, let's talk about it later.
He said to the two of them sternly and solemnly: "No one is allowed to speak of these words today. Before Erya reaches adulthood, these skills are not allowed to be displayed in front of others. If you have a problem, push it on me and the big girl, understand?"
Yulan's heart warmed slightly, and she nodded "um" heavily for her brother and sister's maintenance of herself.
β¦β¦
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar, after eating early in the morning, Li Aihua set off with his four brothers and sisters.
Magnolia is listless, this is her first year home, and she doesn't want to go to someone else's house, even her grandmother's.
But Ah Niang Fei said that her grandmother missed her sisters, so she asked the sisters to accompany her grandmother more instead of herself.
Yulan pouted, her grandmother had always been indifferent to her, how could she think of her, although she didn't know what the reason was, but it was all a trivial matter, and Yulan kept silent.
Hongguang Village to Lijiaping has not yet been opened to traffic, and a mountain road artificially stepped out between the mountains and mountains can only be walked by two feet.
Along the way, Li Aihua, Yushu, and Yumei took turns carrying Yulan and Yuzhu.
The five of them stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at Lijiaping at lunchtime.
From afar, I saw a thin old lady looking out in the open space in front of the house.
Seeing Li Aihua's family, she walked up quickly, smiling like a chrysanthemum blooming, hugging magnolia and jade bamboo for a while.
Yulan's impression of her grandmother was still the cold and lonely old lady in the past, and she couldn't accept the enthusiastic old lady in front of her, so she avoided behind Yumei.
Li Aihua couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Ouch, this kid! This is grandma, what are you hiding?" He helplessly explained to Mrs. Li: "Erya is stupid, timid and afraid of life, no matter how you teach, you can't teach it." β
Yulan secretly rolled her eyes when she heard this, and complained in her heart that A-Niang was talking nonsense, but her face was dumbfounded, and in the eyes of the old lady, she felt that this girl was stupid and stupid.
Crossing the high threshold of the hall, Li Aihua left a few children behind and prepared to help in the back kitchen.
Mrs. Li hurriedly stopped, "I don't need you, just have Xiaohui busy working, you can rest for a while, let's talk." β
Yumei looked at her eyes and said obediently: "Grandma, then you talk to Auntie, and my sister and I will help Auntie." β
Mrs. Li praised her without hesitation: "Good girl! take good care of my sister." β
Yushu held the sleeping Yuzhu and planned to put it on the bed in the room to sleep, and Yumei pulled Yulan into the back kitchen.
The kitchen was smoky, the light was dim, and the lights were on in broad daylight. The wooden ceiling was covered with plastic film, a greasy, black, aged dirt and a ring of black ash under a tungsten light bulb.
Aunt Yu Hui was busy standing in front of the stove, and when she saw the two sisters coming in, she smiled and said, "It's here, it's hard work." β
The attitude is a little cold, but Yulan knows that the eldest aunt has always been like this, she is not close to anyone, and she has no scheming, and who she likes and dislikes is intuitively shown on her face. Speak straight, never know how to write the word euphemism, always how to be happy.
Yu Hui's character became bigger and bigger with his uncle's business in the later period, and he offended people a lot. However, her grandparents protect her, her uncle also loves her, and her son is filial. She lived a prosperous life in her later years and lived as most women idealized.
In the past, Yulan remembered that when she was thrown out of the mourning hall by the jade book, everyone looked on coldly, even sneering, and only the eldest aunt helped her.
She said: "Your aunt will be strong all your life, and I hope that each of you will live better than others." You are young and ignorant, she thinks that you are not angry, you have disgraced her, and she thinks that it is her failure to teach you well. She can't pass the threshold in her heart. She didn't want people to see jokes, but now that your brother and sister are out of harmony, you're making a big joke. If you're at fault, your brother is useless, you can't protect your sister, forget it, and you're embarrassed to be angry.
Don't think about dying and paying for their lives, your life is not worth anything. You have to live, you have to live well, and live like your aunt wants, that's what you should do. Who hasn't been stupid? You've just stepped on a piece of shit and made a big fall, although this fall is a bit miserable, but isn't life like this? Smooth sailing is all daydreaming, and ups and downs are real life. Let's go, go far, find a place that no one knows and start over. β
Yulan had already had a will to die at that time, and her aunt's words were like a thunderclap, awakening her lost reason and giving her an outlet for the guilt that she had nowhere to vent.
If there was no aunt's words at that time, there would be no self who worked hard to live later, and Yulan has always been grateful.
β¦β¦
At this time, facing her aunt, who was more than ten years younger, Yulan respected her from the bottom of her heart. She said hello respectfully, causing Yumei to look at her in surprise.
Magnolia smiled, there were some things she couldn't explain, so she had to be silent.
Yushu settled Yuzhu and followed into the back kitchen.
The eldest aunt thought that the four siblings were staying in the kitchen to occupy space, and unceremoniously blasted them out.
Yushu couldn't cry or laugh, went out, and took his two younger sisters to play in the pavilion in the four corners.
The pavilion is not far from Li's house, and you can clearly see people coming and going, and if you call loudly, the people in the pavilion can hear it clearly.
The weather was nice and clear on this day. The sun shines warmly on the body, and there is no wind, even if you sit in the gazebo with wind on all sides, you don't feel cold.
Yushu leaned diagonally against the railing, and Yumei sat opposite with Yulan. The magnolia man has short calves and sits on a stone chair with his hands propped up on the chair surface and his legs dangling back and forth.
The three of them looked relaxed, but the content of the conversation was not easy at all.
Yumei asked Yulan: "Do you really think that my uncle is suitable?"
Yulan nodded and said, "It's not a question of whether it's suitable or not, the little uncle has this ability, of course we give priority to him." β
She is confident in the clothes she designs.
Li Shaopei was chosen to cooperate because his garment factory has been open for many years and is mature in all aspects.
At the same time, Magnolia also has the idea that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. In her memory, whether it was in the past or now, her uncle has always taken care of her family, and Yulan feels that this can be regarded as a disguised repayment.
Yumei nodded when she heard this, and said a little hesitantly: "Although we think so, however, the little aunt may not appreciate it." She had met with Wang Mianmian a few times and didn't communicate much, but Wang Mianmian's superior posture impressed her deeply, and she didn't think her aunt would accept it.
Yushu thought for a while and said to Yumei: "I'll go to my uncle in the afternoon, whether my aunt understands it or not, we just have our hearts." β
Yulan suddenly remembered that she had gone to her grandmother's house for the New Year since the year before last, but she had never seen her uncle's family spend the night in her grandmother's old house. She asked Yushu: "Why doesn't my uncle's family live here with my grandparents?"
Yushu looked constipated, can it be said that the little aunt thinks the old house is too old to live in?
When Secretary Yu was in junior high school, one year at his grandmother's house for the New Year, he heard his uncle and aunt quarreling over whether he could live in the old house.
The little aunt disliked the old house as useless, and almost didn't say that the old house was a kennel. The aunt wanted to live in her mother's house, but the uncle said that he was not a son-in-law and resolutely refused. Later, the younger uncle compromised. So during the New Year's holidays, my uncle's family went back to their hometown, and in addition to eating in the old house, they stayed at their parents' house for the rest of the time.
Since then, Yushu's impression of his aunt's kindness and gentleness has fallen to the bottom.
Hearing Yulan's question at this time, Yushu was not used to talking about right and wrong behind his back, so he replied implicitly: "There are people coming and going in the old house, and the room is not enough to live, and the little uncle's family lives in his mother-in-law's house." β
Yulan nodded, this is her uncle's family matter, and it has nothing to do with her, she just needs to sell the drawings smoothly. Originally, she wanted to cooperate with her uncle by using technology as a shareholder, but with her aunt's stingy personality, she would definitely not accept this. So she retreated and chose to sell drawings directly.
Yumei sighed, "If only we could produce it ourselves." β
Yulan, Sister Ah has really become a money fan now, but anyone who can make money wants to intervene.
She comforted Yumei: "There will be a chance in the future." β
Magnolia is optimistic on the surface, but in fact, there are hidden worries in her heart, and the large orders she received in front of her seem to be good, but they are only superficial.
If a successful enterprise is a giant ship, what she has now is not even a small bamboo row, and a wave can break the bamboo row apart.
If she wants to make a lot of money, she must have the ability to match, whether it is herself or the people around her, she hopes that the ability can support her ambitions.
Now that the eldest brother can take over Sister A's work, Yulan hopes that Sister can return to campus to continue her studies, even if it is part-time work and study.
Of course, there are still some details to be considered in this matter, so Yulan wisely didn't mention it.
The three brothers and sisters didn't talk for long, and someone came over to call everyone for dinner.
The young man in front of him, named Li Mingwei, is the eldest son of Yulan's uncle's family, one year older than Yumei, just a freshman, his personality is very similar to his uncle, and the whole person looks dignified and very handsome.
He greeted the three brothers and sisters with ease, behaved politely, had a thoughtful attitude, and no one was snubbed, and he could already see the demeanor of his prime in his life.
The future building materials tycoon Li Mingwei has begun to show his edge.
Yulan blinked at the young man in front of her, curious.
Li Mingwei only felt that he was being stared at by a pair of fawn-like eyes, staring at him and muttering in his heart. He took a closer look at himself, and there was nothing wrong with him, but the little girl was curious, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head.
Magnolia was embarrassed, touch her head and kill it! A pseudo-girl's heart suddenly thumped.
