Chapter Eighty-Eight: At that time, it was just ordinary
That...... I search for memory......
On that day, another Lao Gu chain assured vegetable shop quietly opened to welcome guests.
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 was left with no idea why, standing in the crowd full of shoppers.
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.
However, every memory of that boy, despite the cold and summer, has not only not been forgotten, but even every detail has been constantly magnified!
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 in 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.
For the first time, the two cooperated tacitly to sell vegetables, and the air was full of the enticing smell of fireworks and vegetables.
And the sweetness of the girl's heartbeat has made that picture eternal.
Those all kinds of vegetables and melons and fruits scattered on the vegetable cart, they are cheap and good!
Under my hectic and unfamiliar methods, I was free to roll around.
And Shen Yiwei squatted quietly and skillfully, took the dish I handed over with one hand, and paid the price in seconds with the other.
He is 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 cold 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 a quarrel between two middle-aged women beside him, and the sound became louder and louder.
The customers passing by by, incomprehensibly, 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 like you who take advantage of small advantages!"
"Don't take advantage of it? Will you take advantage of today's opening to buy so much in the store? I'm a normal grocery shop, usually like this, what kind of eyes do you have? They are all people who live at home, and if you can't get used to it, you can hide! Don't look! 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.
Their disdainful, shrill voices collided.
Soon the two of them stood in front of me in a tangled way, pushing and shoving from side to side, hoping that I would be fair to them 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 shelves!
The dishes on the shelves that are fully packaged and neatly placed are at the mercy of others, and they can't decide their own life and death at all, and they have completely lost the freedom to be chosen!
As for their sudden quarrels, the world is full of situations, firewood, rice, oil and salt, women are embarrassed by women, how boring and boring!
Everything here has nothing to do with me!
They were even more angry when they saw that I was indifferent!
I looked back at them more helplessly and innocently, until they all let go of their hands and looked at me angrily.
"Big sisters, ouch!"
The smiling manager arrives like a goodwill ambassador.
"My good sisters!
The store manager helped and persuaded them to go to the side with less crowds.
"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.
"Hey, good sisters, look at what you say, listen to me......"
The store manager's words became softer and softer, like their two confidant little sisters.
"Don't get me wrong, she's our boss's ...... Relatives, who came to the store for an internship!"
"I think you two live near here, right? We are a small business, with 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 store manager, convincing! Little sister, you are such a warm-hearted person, you deserve to be 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 and lay down again, and I turned my head to look at them more blankly, and the store manager turned back and smiled kindly at my understanding.
After dealing with the conflict, the store manager came to persuade me to go home again: "Okay, my eldest lady, you have been tired for half a day, you can go home and rest first!"
"No!"
I stubbornly refused to leave, I wanted to see who would want to provoke me again today!
"Sister Caiyun, your letter! A girl just left it for you, and she left without saying much!"
The little girl at the cash register called me without raising her head.
"Letter?"
I'm curious!Does anyone know the address of my new shop?
Besides, who else will deliver the letter and spread the word in these years?
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 to meet, I couldn't help but feel excited.
I hurried 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 and hurried to the appointment place sweating profusely under the surprised eyes 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.
Passing by the intersection of Caiyuan Road, it was the place where Shen Yiwei had an accident.
McDonald's and the International Building are located at the intersection of the building, and today it is a bustling and lively place.
In the café C room, I recognized Xiao Yeqing with a child at a glance.
Seeing her from afar, I saw that she was as demure as a flower shining on water, her beauty faded away from the arrogance of the past, revealing her original elegance, and now she has 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.
"Aunt Ayi, here, here!" They were very excited and happy to see me.
"Obviously baby, I still know Auntie! It's so good! So many delicious things, all for you! Auntie just bought it at the store. Are you happy to play with your mother, tell your aunt, how old are you?"
He finally broke free of her embrace and staggered to me. I picked him up and asked him and kissed him.
"Bao Yibao, 2 years old!"
Ming Ming raised two pink little fingers, looked at the pile of food I bought for him with a greedy expression, and replied in a sneering manner.
His milky tone and childish short words, as well as his childish appearance, were very endearing.
"Look at him, he has no conscience, and he sees you more than he sees his own mother! Everyone who has food is a mother, and he has forgotten his mother! Don't believe it? If you ask him to call your mother to try, maybe he will really call him!"
Xiao Yeqing's words were quite sour and arrogant.
"What's the matter, jealous? I'm no one else, I don't need to tempt him with delicious food! Listen to your son's milk baby voice, there will be no worries!" 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.
She seemed to be eager to make up for the lost time of the two years in an instant, and was kind to him, provoking him to free up his little hands holding food from time to time, as if he resisted 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 could take him out to play for a short time if I was accompanied by the staff. I believe that it won't be long before I can go through the relevant formalities and he will be able to return to me!"
"Thank you so much for all this!"
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.
Originally......
After I resigned from Litian Company, I spent my days on the streets looking for it.
I was looking for Shen Yiwei, but there was nowhere to go, so I started looking for Xiao Yeqing!
I heard the bad news of Shen Yiwei, hit his head in a car and was admitted to the hospital. His fiancée, who was about to give birth, was the only family member I knew of him.
I can't help but want to see her!
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.
