Chapter Twenty-Six: He Returns
The boat rippled all the way to the distance with the shallow waves, and Qiu Cicada wanted to ask something again, but Xia Chun had already grabbed Qiu Cicada's hand, "Qiu Cicada, just let him go, he doesn't know." ”
Qiu Chan turned around and saw Xia Chun, "What about Mr. Lin?
"Jiren has his own natural appearance, let's go first, don't worry too much. Xia Chun said.
The two left like this and went back to Mei's house, Mei's family was still as usual, Qiu Cicada went to sleep early, Xia Chun went to the tea room, and began to continue embroidering the small purse promised to Mei Wendian. She promised Mei Wendian, so she insisted on embroidering the purse and couldn't break her promise.
She embroidered a plum blossom for Mei Wendian, standing proudly in the cold wind. A few plum blossoms blooming in the corner of the wall, and a few plum blossoms in the corner, Ling Han bloomed alone. I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. It's almost a little bit of summer and spring embroidery.
On this day, Mei Wendian came back late because of playing chess with them, tiptoed into the door, and lay on the bed.
Unexpectedly, Xia Chun deliberately waited for Mei Wendian to come back before entering the house. She quietly went back to the house of the two of them, and quietly placed the embroidered purse beside Mei Wendian. Mei Wendian was still immersed in the excitement of playing chess just now, he felt the coldness of Xia Chun's fingers, and the whole person was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Xia Chun would soon go back to his bed to sleep, but who knew that after waiting for a long time, Xia Chun still didn't leave, sitting beside him. Mei Wendian turned around and called "Sister Xia Chun".
Xia Chun sighed and called Mei Wendian's name, "Adian." ”
"Well, what's wrong?" he asked.
Xia Chun stepped forward, pinched the quilt corner for Mei Wendian, and said silently, "Adian, you are going to go to Eqiao Town to study in middle school after the spring, but you can't continue to play like now." ”
Mei Wendian excused himself, and said in an almost tantrum tone, "Where did I play." ”
Xia Chun followed Mei Wendian's words and said, "Since you know that you are going to school, don't learn chess every day, take care of yourself, and prepare for the exam, you will be the one who will go to college in the future." ”
Mei Wendian disagreed, "Sister Xia Chun, in fact, I don't want to go to college in the future......"
Xia Chun was noncommittal, "Phew, don't talk nonsense, you don't want to go to college, so where are you going, do you want to squat at home every day in the future?"
"Anyway, I don't think it's interesting to go to college in this world, so it's better to go out and fight. Mei Wendian turned over and said casually.
"Phew, just your little body, still going out to fight?" It's not that Mei Wendian is buried, but Xia Chun has been with Mei Wendian for so many years, and he has already figured out Mei Wendian's personality, knowing that he, a child, is always hot for three minutes, and has less time to do things.
Xia Chun looked at Mei Wendian, and said, "Not to mention whether you have the body and bones to fight, even if you have, Adian, you can bear it? Bear to watch me be afraid of you? Bear to look at me and worry about whether you will die on the battlefield, worried about whether our Mei family will be extinct?" You yourself often say that you are the only man in the Mei family now, can you think about me now, after your mother-in-law died, she entrusted you to me, if something happens to you, I will die in the future, and go underground, how can I explain to my mother-in-law?"
Mei Wendian also sighed, "Hey, but I was very happy when I was with them, Uncle Mazi Sixth would tell me about their past fights and killings, and Uncle Wang would also tell their previous stories, but in those years in the school, I lived like a fool, I didn't know anything, and I had to follow the teacher to read what stupid 'At the beginning of man, nature is good'......"
"Adian, sleep, you are still young, when you are older, you will know that this world is not what you imagined, I don't care about you these days, but in a few days the middle school will start, you must remember to report it......"
As soon as Xia Chun's words fell, Mei Wendian's even and heavy breathing came, the corners of Xia Chun's mouth raised, and she also turned around and sank into sleep.
The next day, Xia Chun got up early, because she was going to the tea factory to study with Mei Leyue. The tea factory started, a few miles away from Mei's house, and it was also in Qingshui Stream.
On this day, Xia Chun went to Mei Leyue's house early and went to the tea factory with Mei Leyue, which is mainly used for tea packaging. More than a dozen workers in the tea factory, who were about to start work, saw that Xia Chun was coming, and they all bowed respectfully to Xia Chun under Mei Leyue's instructions. Xia Chun waved his hand, took the work clothes on the side directly, and put them on himself without asking, and started to work with the big guy.
Before Mei Leyue could say anything, someone came outside and called her away, Mei Leyue directly told Xia Chun that she wanted her to experience it herself, and Xia Chun didn't understand, so she followed behind this group of old aunts to learn. She saw that her aunts had brought the useless cartons over, and she followed suit, and she saw that the aunts had folded the finished cartons and bundled dozens of them together, and she also learned to tie those cartons together and carry the cartons onto the rickshaw with them.
When I was tired, the days always passed very quickly, and by the time Xia Chun put things in the car with them, the morning had passed in a flash.
At noon, Qiu Cicada came over according to the instructions given to her by Xia Chun a long time ago, brought a lot of pastries, and distributed them with Xia Chun, not to mention how happy they were to eat. In fact, all these young people have gone out to work hard, and those who stayed in Qingshuijian were middle-aged women, who did some logistics for the Mei family, and they could be regarded as dedicating their lives.
Xia Chun chatted with them about family life, including a few people who came to each house to make trouble during the last funeral, but they stopped making trouble now and sat quietly next to them.
After eating the pastries, the female workers all went to rest, Mei Leyue came back at this time, she asked Xia Chun how she felt, Xia Chun said that she had mixed tastes, as if she felt a lot, and as if she didn't feel anything.
"I feel that these women workers are working hard. Xia Chun said honestly.
"The women of Qingshuijian are hard, no, it should be said that the women of the whole Huizhou are hard, our life for thousands of years can be said to have only one word, that is, 'wait', since ancient times Huizhou merchants have parted, we are waiting for their return in Qingshuijian, and we have been waiting for many years. ”
"Sometimes I wonder if this kind of waiting is really meaningful," Xia Chun smiled bitterly, as soon as she looked up, she saw these female workers in front of Qingshuijian working diligently, very seriously, Xia Chun knew that most of these women, men are still doing business or working outside, and they send money home every month to support their wives and children in Qingshuijian. These women are in Qingshuijian, if it weren't for this tea factory, all they can do now is to spend their days chatting at home. In this way, the tea factory in Qingshuijian has provided them with a place to work with peace of mind.
"Don't underestimate such a small tea factory, just rely on it to feed the lives of many people in our Qingshuijian I don't know. Mei Leyue patted Xia Chun's shoulder and said earnestly.
Xia Chun followed Mei Leyue to learn, just in the spring, Mei's tea factory has received several orders for business, Mei Leyue told Xia Chun about the operation process of the tea factory, in the afternoon Mei Leyue began to teach Xia Chun to read the account book, taught her the most basic bookkeeping methods, Xia Chun's brain is flexible, learn things quickly, and quickly write it down, Mei Leyue has been praising Xia Chun.
Xia Chun is sensitive and studious, and in the evening, he reviewed what Mei Leyue taught him again before leaving. When Xia Chun left, there was no one left in the entire tea factory, and only Xia Chun was left. But she didn't feel scared at all, she just felt that the cold tea factory in the past also had feelings and temperature.
The night before Mei Wendian went to report, Mei Wendian told Xia Chun that he had already left the school. He won the second young master of the Cui family this time, but he will have to pay attention and study hard in the future, but she has to play a game of chess with Xia Chun.
The two of you went back and forth, and after hundreds of steps, Xia Chun defeated Mei Wendian and won the final victory, which can be regarded as a fierce battle.
Xia Chun praised approvingly, "It's really a lot of progress, it seems that I'm going to prepare a generous gift for your master." ”
Mei Wendian grinned and said, "Actually, if you want to prepare a gift for Master, you also have to prepare a gift for Ma Ziliu, in fact, most of the time he came to teach me." ”
Xia Chun said to Mei Wendian while collecting the chess pieces, "I still agree with that Uncle Wang as the master, but if you recognize the bully Ma Ziliu as the master, I am 10,000 unwilling, Ma Ziliu still doesn't know what it has become to brainwash you, you will have less contact in the future." ”
"Why do you keep slandering my friends?"
"Friend, Ma Ziliu is also your friend?" Xia Chun's eyes widened, "You don't go to see what Ma Ziliu has done, he has done all kinds of evil, and he finally worshiped a master of the martial arts hall, and as a result, he gave other people's wives to ......."
Speaking of the back, Xia Chun couldn't go on.
"In short, Ma Ziliu's character is really problematic, you can do it yourself, and have less contact with him. ”
Mei Wendian still wanted to reason with Xia Chun, but Xia Chun had already packed up and walked back, and Mei Wendian could only stick out his tongue at Xia Chun's back.
In fact, Xia Chun went back to her room to read a few books that Mei Leyue lent her.
That night, it was midnight, Xia Chun finished reviewing the homework assigned to her by Mei Leyue today, and was about to go back to the room, but suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door not far away.
Knock knock. Knock knock.
The sound of being struck grew louder and louder.
"Who's looking for ...... so late?"
The autumn cicada got up in a daze and went to open the door.
After a long time, Xia Chun suddenly heard a cheer of excitement-
"Mr. Lin is back!"
