Chapter 32: Really So Busy?
As soon as the two walked to the door, Luo Xiangnan said, "It's overcast outside, bring the umbrella." As he spoke, he went back to the house and took the big black umbrella that had been used for several years and handed it to Ye Jingtao.
By the time we were halfway through, the sky had become dark, and a gust of wind swept away the people with a torrential rain. Ye Jingtao tried his best to hold the big black umbrella beside Ye Xiaochi, and walked towards his uncle's house step by step.
Ye Xiaochi watched the kid tilt the umbrella to her side as much as he could, covering her entire body, and she couldn't understand how she could meet such a younger brother, who was sensible and distressing.
In the first few days, she didn't want to move, she didn't want to open her eyes, she thought maybe she would sleep, and she would go back when she woke up. I also thought about it, if I died once, would I die back?
She has been living with this family like a walking dead for more than half a month, but what they say and do always feels like watching TV to her, and her own heart has been wandering away, unable to integrate with that family. It's just a faint bystander day by day, thinking that maybe I can go back.
It wasn't until she lived together for a long time that she was able to accept the family little by little from her heart, and she was finally able to talk to them naturally...
Ye Xiaochi retracted the emotion in her heart, and moved with Ye Jingtao to the door of her uncle's house against the wind. The reason why she walked so slowly was that she had to blame her for being too scumbag.
At this time, a gust of wind blew the umbrella in Ye Jingtao's hand "bang" over, the umbrella was quite big, Ye Jingtao was surrounded by the umbrella, and his body stumbled for a while before he could barely stand firm, and he saw that one of the umbrella bones of the old umbrella was separated from the umbrella surface, but he still held on to the handle and refused to let go.
Ye Xiaochi is not much stronger, her physical strength is poor, and she is floating in the lower plate, and a sudden gust of strong wind blew her hair messily in front of her eyes, blocking her vision, she groped and held on to the railing on the iron door at the door, and was pulled by Ye Jingtao, so that she could stand firmly.
Ye Xiaochi hurriedly cut his hair, saw that Ye Jingtao was still holding the overturned umbrella, and laughed at him: "You are too thin, if you are thinner, let the wind blow away." ”
As he spoke, he pulled his sleeve and walked into the courtyard. Luo Xiangdong greeted him: "Why are you here at this time? ”
Zuo Yucheng and Qu Xiaowu just now saw that it was going to rain on a cloudy day, so they went to clean up the cotton pads used in the carriage to put under the warping case. Then the carriage was covered with a rain cloth. When I returned to the door after cleaning up, I saw the sister and brother who were blown by the wind.
Qu Xiaowu felt that the person who came was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. Zuo Yucheng said to him softly: "You have seen this person." The last time I came, I was watching from the road, and I beat the dog. ”
Zuo Yucheng's prompt, Qu Xiaowu remembered, at that time he also said that it was impossible to see her again, and he had only spoken for a few days, didn't he just see her? How could it be so coincidental, this girl seemed to be Luo Xiangdong's relative.
Luo Xiangdong blocked Ye Xiaochi's head with his hand, took the sister and brother into the house, and then took a towel and handed it to Ye Xiaochi.
Ye Xiaochi is not used to using other people's, at this time, his body is a little wet, and he can't do it if he doesn't wipe it, so he sniffed it, Luo Xiangdong: "......"
Ye Xiaochi saw that this uncle was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, your towel is quite clean and can be used." ”
Zuo Yucheng watched from the side, feeling that this girl was not afraid of her uncle at all, and her nephew had a good relationship.
Ye Xiaochi didn't rush to wipe himself with a towel, dragged the boy who was a little shorter than her, wiped it on his head and face, and then wiped the moisture on his head.
Ye Jingtao was stunned by her at first, and only reacted when he finished wiping, the sister who ignored him in the past wiped his face and hair...
Luo Xiangdong said to Ye Xiaochi: "You see that you are not slow, you are confused by Xiaotao." ”
Ye Xiaochi smiled, wiped his arm clean, and then handed the towel to Xiao Tao to wipe it himself.
Zuo Yucheng noticed that she was wearing black sweatpants with white bars on the side, and her trouser legs were pulled up. The white sneakers on my feet are a little wet. Out of politeness, he glanced away with just one glance.
"Have we met?" Ye Xiaochi had actually noticed Zuo Yucheng and Qu Xiaowu standing next to him, and he seemed to have seen them somewhere.
Hearing her words, Zuo Yucheng nodded, indicating that she was right, Ye Xiaochi thought of the car in the yard, and suddenly remembered: "You are the person who helped me on the road next to the store that day, right?"
Luo Xiangdong wrung his eyebrows and listened to the two of them, Zuo Yucheng was originally watching with his hands behind his back, but when he saw that she remembered, he nodded: "Yes, it's me, it's a coincidence." Looks like your leg is getting better. ”
Qu Xiaowu grew up with Zuo Yucheng since childhood, and has witnessed his rebellion and unruliness.
Especially Zuo Yucheng also took a fancy to Luo Xiangdong's craftsmanship, so he was naturally more polite to his niece.
"yes, almost, you know my uncle?"
Ye Xiaochi noticed that the head case that couldn't see any material, and the paint had fallen off in many places, and one leg was missing, and guessed in her heart that this person might also come to her uncle to repair the furniture.
"I just met, and I asked your uncle to fix a painting case. Zuo Yucheng said, pointing at the warped case.
"Why, do you know each other?" Luo Xiangdong asked, puzzled. Zuo Yucheng explained to him what happened on the road near the store that day.
Ye Xiaochi listened to Zuo Yucheng's voice next to him, and he always felt a little like he had heard it, and his eyes saw the warped case, and knew that it was a painting case used by the ancients to write and paint. When I thought of the ancients, I looked at Zuo Yucheng's appearance again. Ye Xiaochi finally remembered what the feeling of déjà vu was.
This person must have met in an antique shop, when she only saw the back. But she still remembered the sound of him talking to people inside. In this case, this person should be from an antique shop.
At this time, Zuo Yucheng had already explained to Luo Xiangdong the reason why he knew Ye Xiaochi. Luo Xiangdong listened and said to Ye Xiaochi: "If you say that, I should thank you well." ”
"That's not necessary, everyone has to help me. Zuo Yucheng waved his hand lightly, not intending to say more in this regard.
Ye Xiaochi looked at Luo Xiangdong, she wasn't sure if he would ask them less for the maintenance fee because he was grateful. She would rather do something for the surnamed Zuo herself than affect her uncle's remuneration because of this.
This person is from an antique shop, and if this job is done well, there may be long-term cooperation in the future. If Luo Xiangdong's asking price is too low at the beginning, he will suffer too much in the future. After all, his craft is not something that ordinary people can have.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaochi smiled and said to Zuo Yucheng: "Do you see those chairs? He has good craftsmanship, and there are many people who ask him to do work, and some people deliberately increase the price in order to let him take the job. My uncle was so busy that he didn't even have time to cook. Just look at his kitchen, he always messes around a few times and finishes it, but he's too busy. ”
Hearing her words, Zuo Yucheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her and asked, "Is it? Your uncle is so busy?"
Ye Xiaochi nodded: "Isn't it?, he didn't have time to cook the morning meal, and my little brother brought it." ”
Luo Xiangdong: "......" Even if he is busy, he won't have time to cook, is he too lazy to do a good job?
