Chapter 81 The West Comes to the West on the River and Flies Together
On the day I had an accident last time, was what I saw really Shen Yiwei's shadow?
That...... Another Lao Gu chain assured vegetable shop quietly opened.
There was no ribbon cutting, no flower baskets, no ceremonies, and no grand publicity. My parents said that I would go out to see the excitement when I was bored at home and had nothing to do.
But when they arrived at the Anxin vegetable shop, after only a while, Lao Gu and his wife were so busy that they disappeared.
I didn't know why I came, and I was stuck in the crowd of people shopping.
Stalls are neatly arranged, with colourful vegetables and enticing staple food kitchens, all of which are clearly priced.
The red banner and yellow ribbon of the opening promotion made the shoppers smile. Although the store is full of people, it is orderly.
There is no bargaining dispute, only a figure of careful selection and patient inquiry. There was an orderly flow of people coming and going, picking and picking up the flow of people, and no one noticed me!
I stood beside several neatly arranged shelves of fresh and green vegetables with dull eyes in my eyes. For some reason, an image of a boy and a girl selling vegetables popped up in my head.
In the picture scroll of my memories of my first involvement in the world, many pictures have long been filtered into the passing smoke clouds of the years by my unintentional me. But every memory of that boy, although it has gone through cold and summer, spring and autumn, not only has it not been forgotten, but even every detail has been constantly magnified, so that every corner of the past related to him has been fresh for a long time.
Especially the first picture of us selling vegetables together that popped up in my mind just now, as the years passed, it has been forever fixed in the depths of my memory. Now it popped out of my head again, and I couldn't help but be in a daze.
In the evening of the picture, the boy named Shen Yiwei and me named Gu Caiyun squatted together next to the vegetable cart in front of an old community, the two cooperated tacitly for the first time to sell vegetables, and the air was full of the tempting fragrance of fireworks and vegetables in the world, and the sweetness of the girl's heartbeat has made that picture eternal.
The various vegetables and melons and fruits scattered on the vegetable cart, they are cheap and good, and they are freely rolled around under the busy and unskilled hands of me.
And Shen Yiwei squatted quietly and skillfully, took the dishes I handed over with one hand, and paid the price in seconds with the other, like an old farmer, concentrating on meditation and beauty.
Once intertwined with the scene, the same selling vegetables, but unfortunately, now ...... Who reads the west wind and is cool alone? At that time, it was just ordinary! How could everything not make people suddenly dream!
I finally showed a smile inadvertently, and I was suddenly frozen by the dazzling array of dishes in front of me!
Suddenly, there was an argument between two women the same age as my parents, and the voices grew louder and louder, and the rest of the customers indifferently bypassed and continued to choose their own dishes.
"Is there a good day like you? On a good day when the big opening is opened, the dishes are well arranged, and you turn it like this, and you take away so many plastic bags, what a small advantage!"
"Can I pick and choose first? I pick mine, you choose yours, what's your business!"
"It's all like you, how can we choose what we buy later! I just can't get used to people who take advantage of small advantages like you!"
"Don't take advantage of the small advantage? You will take advantage of today's opening to buy so much in the store? I am a normal grocery shop, usually like this, what kind of eyes do you have? They are all people who live at home, if you are not used to it, don't look at it! No one praises you for your good looks!"
"What are you talking about? Do you speak human words! Is there anyone in this store?"
The two of them quarreled more and more fiercely, until they pulled and pulled.
Disdainful, snarky voices collide. Soon the two of them stood in front of me in a tangled way, pushing left and right, hoping that I would give justice with a blank face.
How did they find me? I really wondered!
I was at a loss and realized that today my parents put on a vegetable shop uniform for me, and they treated me as a clerk!
"Boss, have you heard or seen it? Is there anyone who cares!
Alas, I don't look at them squarely, I just stare at the well-packaged and neatly arranged dishes on the shelves, they are at the mercy of others, they can't decide their own life and death, and they have completely lost the freedom to be chosen!
As for their sudden quarrels, the world is full of people, firewood, rice, oil and salt, women embarrass women, how boring and boring, what do they have to do with me?
They were even more angry at me when they saw that they were indifferent, and I looked back at them more helplessly and innocently, until they both let go of their hands and looked at me angrily.
"Big sister, oh, my good sisters! Come to me!" the shopkeeper rushed and persuaded them to go to the side where there was less traffic.
"What the hell is that girl doing? Is she deaf? It can't be a psychopathy! We don't have anything to do, she's like she can't hear or see? If it's a nervous disorder, don't put it in the way of the store, it's weird and scary to affect business!"
"Hey, you all come over and take a look, let's not talk about which of us is right and who is wrong, do you think she looks like a decoration?
At this time, they turned their rivalry into jade silk in an instant, and joined forces to change the topic and provoke the store manager.
"Please speak with respect, how can you talk like that!" The clerk next to me couldn't help but help me speak, but was stopped by the store manager.
"Yo, two eldest sisters, look at what you said, you listen to me......" The store manager's words became softer and softer, like their confidant little sisters.
"Don't get me wrong, she's our boss's ...... Relatives, who came to the store for internships! I see that you two live in this neighborhood, right? We have a small business, small profits and quick turnover, all of which are home-grown vegetables in the mountains. Open today, there are many discounts, it doesn't matter if you don't do it, this is a bit of a promotional membership product, I'll give you a little bit, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors...... You two come with me......"
"Yo, you, the store manager, little sister, are really a warm-hearted person, worthy of being the store manager, thank you!"
The two eldest sisters squeaked happily with the store manager, and they had long forgotten about me.
I realized that I had accidentally stood up again, and I turned my head to look at them more blankly, and the store manager turned back to me and smiled kindly.
After dealing with the conflict, the store manager came to persuade me to go home again. I'm stubbornly reluctant to leave, and I'd like to see who else wants to provoke me today!
"Sister Caiyun, your letter! A girl just left it for you, and left without saying a word!" the little girl at the cash register called me.
"I'm curious!" Who will know the address of my new restaurant? Besides, who else will write to me in these days?
The envelope was opened, revealing a shorthand note that read:
"Gu Caiyun: See you in Cafe C, Block B, Caiyuan Building, at X o'clock on X month. Xiao Yeqing, Mingming. ”
I looked at the time, and it was half an hour later!
When I saw the time, place, and people I was going to meet, I couldn't help but cry, and I quickly ran out of the store.
There was a lot of traffic outside the store, and Xiao Yeqing was nowhere to be seen.
But I know that she is finally willing to come out to meet people, especially willing to take the initiative to meet me, she must have forgiven herself and let herself go!
I immediately seemed to be a different person, and all the sluggishness and unhappiness just now dissipated.
I was so radiant that I quickly took off my clerk's coat, bought some children's food, and hurried to the meeting place under the surprised nose of the store manager!
Xiao Yeqing and I made an appointment to meet at Caiyuan Building, and I couldn't wait to meet her after recovery, and I wanted to see the scene of their mother and son reuniting.
This is the crossroads of Caiyuan Road, the place where Shen Yiwei's accident occurred, McDonald's and the International Building intersect, and now it is already a lively place.
In Cafe C, I recognized Xiao Yeqing at a glance. Seeing her from afar, I saw that she was as demure as a flower shining on water, and her beauty was not only demure in appearance, but now there was more of a mother's tenderness.
In her arms, a little boy saw me from afar, and was about to break free from his mother's arms with joy.
"Auntie, we're here!" they were very excited to see me.
"Obviously baby, I still know my aunt! I'm so good! So many delicious foods, all for you! Are you happy to play with your mother? Tell Auntie, how old are you?"
He finally broke free from her embrace and came over to me. I picked him up and asked him and kissed him.
"Baby, 2 years old!"
Ming Ming put up two fingers, looked at the pile of food I bought for him with a greedy face, and replied sweetly, with a milky tone and short words, and a childish look on his face that was very endearing.
"Look at him, he has no conscience, he sees you more than he sees his own mother! If you have food, everyone is a mother! If you don't believe it, if you ask him to call your mother, he may call him!" Xiao Yeqing's words were a little sour.
"Why, I'm jealous! I'm no one else, I don't need to tempt him with good food!" I couldn't help but laugh at her.
I kissed Ming Ming's little face again, and then I gave him back to Xiao Yeqing.
She looked at me gratefully with tears in her eyes, picked up Ming Ming again, stared at him intently, and kissed him from time to time, as if she wanted to make up for the lost time of two years in an instant, and was good to him, provoking him to free his little hand holding food from time to time and resist her with disgust.
"Have all the adoption procedures in the welfare home been completed?" I asked Xiao Yeqing quietly.
"Not yet, there are still some procedures that are very troublesome! But they agreed that I would take him out to play for a short time, and it won't be long before I can go through the relevant procedures, and he can come back to me, thank you so much!"
Finally, Xiao Yeqing let go of Ming Ming and stood up and hugged me!
I also hugged her tightly, and the years were so quiet in an instant!
This is the first time we have been so close, we are like relatives, for the sake of clarity, we finally get closer and reconcile!
"I'm so glad to see you!" I said. The scene when we first met came back to my eyes.
When I resigned from Litian Company, I spent my days looking for things on the streets.
I was looking for Shen Yiwei, but there was nothing, so I started looking for Xiao Yeqing too!
I heard that Shen Yiwei's bad news hit the car and was admitted to the hospital, his fiancée who was about to give birth, the only family member I knew of his dearest, I wanted to see her for no reason!
I tirelessly ran around the obstetrics and gynecology departments of various hospitals in Minjiang all day long, and searched tirelessly through one hospital after another, and finally found the obstetrics department of the hospital where Xiao Yeqing gave birth.
To my surprise, after Xiao Yeqing was sent to the hospital and came to her senses, she kept looking for death and life, crying endlessly, and the most incredible thing was that she didn't want to give birth to his child!
And there is only one aunt by her side who takes care of her closely, and I finally waited for this anxious aunt outside the obstetrics!
"I'm a friend of hers, I can help Xiao Yeqing!" I said earnestly to this aunt.
"What's your name?" she asked me, skeptical and hesitant.
"You tell her, my name is Gu Caiyun!"
"But she doesn't want to see anyone, she doesn't want to give birth to children, I'm just a nanny, how can this be good!"
"Who is Xiao Yeqing's family? Come on! I'm going to give birth, come quickly!" the nurse shouted eagerly.
"Oh, it's coming!
Without further explanation, we hurried out of the delivery room.
