Chapter 168: Approaching Your Purpose
At noon this Saturday, Bao Xiaodie went to a clothing mall in the center of the city alone after school.
It's late spring now, the weather is already very warm, the women on the street are wearing all kinds of beautiful fashions, showing the beautiful side vividly, only she Bao Xiaodie is only wearing plain and slightly difficult clothes throughout the spring, she has tried to wear her old clothes in the cabinet at home several times, none of them fit, because she has grown about fifteen centimeters taller in the past two years, how she wishes she could have a beautiful set of casual clothes!
Although her bright clothes are also covetous, she knows that she is in a situation where she must not buy clothes casually.
Although I don't dare to buy it, it should be okay to get over it.
"Little sister, come here! Here's the right clothes for you, and you, and this one, are the most popular this year! ”
The young clerk waved to her enthusiastically, and then familiarly pointed to the fresh and elegant garments hanging on the wall.
"I'm just"
Bao Xiaodie smiled and shook her head.
"It doesn't matter if you buy it or not, come here!"
The clerk said in a commanding tone.
Bao Xiaodie didn't want to disappoint the clerk too much, so she waved her hand again and again and said, "I'm just passing by"
Having browsed through almost the entire clothing mall, it's time for Bao Xiaodie to leave.
With a little frustration, she walked to the storage cabinet on the first floor to retrieve her school bag.
After taking her bag out, she headed straight outside.
However, as soon as she walked to the gate of the mall, she was faced with the fact that it had rained heavily.
The torrential rain poured down on the ground, smashing the ground with a loud bang and making a mighty splash, and there was not a single figure in the square or on the road, except for the occasional car passing through the rain curtain that filled the road like a ghost.
At this time, there were many people gathered at the entrance of the mall to hide from the rain, all of whom were trapped because they did not carry rain gear.
Bao Xiaodie also didn't carry any rain gear, but she saw that the rain continued to fall, without the slightest sign of weakening, let alone stopping, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while, she couldn't help but worry, how can I go back?
Of course, she can choose to take a taxi on the side of the road, but it will cost at least thirty yuan to take a taxi, and she will definitely be reluctant to use a penny in half.
When she was worried about how to go back, suddenly a small flower umbrella was handed to her.
"Here you go!"
Said the man who handed the umbrella.
Bao Xiaodie turned her head in surprise and the person who handed the umbrella was Zhong Kaihui, and she said happily, "It turned out to be Aunt Zhong!" Such a coincidence. ”
It turned out that Zhong Kaihui had two days off naturally every month as a nanny, and she didn't have a day off this month, Lin Ruoxi saw that she was working hard every day to take care of the children, so she persuaded her to take a break.
So she listened to Lin Ruoxi's words and didn't go to her house this morning.
After lunch, she wanders around the mall with nothing to do, and unexpectedly bumps into Bao Xiaodie.
Zhong Kaihui said with a smile: "Take the umbrella, I won't stop for a while, you go back with the umbrella." ”
Bao Xiaodie hesitated for a moment, took the umbrella in her hand and asked, "You gave me the umbrella, what should you do?" ”
Zhong Kaihui still smiled and said, "It's not far from my house, I'll go back when the rain stops." ”
Bao Xiaodie returned the umbrella to her and said, "How can this be done!" You use it yourself, I'll wait for the rain to stop before leaving. ”
Zhong Kaihui perseveredly persuaded: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to go back." You live in the suburbs, it's far away, so take it! ”
Bao Xiaodie said firmly: "No! I'll be embarrassed if you try to persuade me again. ”
Zhong Kaihui thought for a while and said, "Or I'll send you back"
"No, no, no! How dare I trouble you? ”
Bao Xiaodie shook her head like a rattle, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of affection for her.
Zhong Kaihui thought about it again and said, "Actually, I want to go to one of my relatives' house, and that relative lives in the neighboring village of your village, so I just sent you back by the way." ”
Bao Xiaodie said, "I see, that's okay." ”
Zhong Kaihui holds the flower umbrella open and props it high on Fluttershy's head.
Seeing this, Bao Xiaodie hurriedly took the umbrella from her hand, and then affectionately grabbed her arm and walked towards the overwhelming rain.
Bao Xiaodie walked a little way to the bus stop to wait for the bus, because it only costs two yuan per person to take the bus; But Zhong Kaihui insisted that she would take a taxi, she thought that the rain was too heavy, although there was an umbrella to cover her, but it was raining, and her shoes and pants would quickly get wet and splashed.
Bao Xiaodie knew that she only had three yuan and five dimes on her, and it would definitely not be enough to take a taxi, so she had to express her embarrassment: "Auntie, I don't have any money on me." ”
Zhong Kaihui said with a little blame: "Girl, who wants you to drive!" You can rest assured, this fare will be driven by the aunt. ”
Bao Xiaodie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When the taxi arrived at Bao Xiaodie's door, Zhong Kaihui said, "I want to go to your house to sit, welcome?" ”
Bao Xiaodie said happily, "Of course you are welcome!" ”
After getting out of the car, Bao Xiaodie led Zhong Kaihui to her home.
Zhong Kaihui said that going to Qi was actually an excuse, so she didn't rush to leave after she sat down.
Bao Xiaodie is a cheerful girl, and Zhong Kaihui's personality is not introverted, so after they sit down face-to-face, the conversation box can't stop as soon as it opens.
After nearly two hours of casual conversation, Zhong Kaihui learned more about Bao Xiaodie's family situation in the past and the situation she is facing now.
She proposed to borrow some money to help Bao Xiaodie improve her living situation, but the defendant Bao Xiaodie flatly refused, saying that although she has no financial income now, her mother has saved a sum of money for her, and as long as she is careful about her calculations, she will not go hungry and cannot afford to pay her school fees.
When encountering such a strong girl, what else can Zhong Kaihui say?
She can only secretly admire Fluttershy's strong character of not admitting defeat.
At around 5 p.m., Bao Xiaodie began to wash rice and cook, and she remembered that there were still a few potatoes piled up in the corner of the wall, which could be peeled off and cut into thin slices and stir-fried. In addition, she used to grow some cabbage in her yard, and it is estimated that she can now pluck it and eat it.
Zhong Kaihui left after dinner.
Before leaving, she warmly invited Bao Xiaodie to go to the countryside next Sunday, and said that she would borrow a camera to take pictures of people in the beautiful natural scenery as a souvenir.
Bao readily agreed.
How did Bao Xiaodie know that Zhong Kaihui took the initiative to send her back in order to bring them closer and gain her trust, and invited her to take pictures in the suburbs in order to send her photos to Yang Xiaotong in the province.
All of them are under Zhong Kaihui's control.
On the day they are invited to the countryside, Zhong Kaihui waits for Fluttershy at the school gate at half past ten in the morning.
Going to the picturesque suburbs full of vitality, Zhong Kaihui took more than 20 photos of Bao Xiaodie.
When Zhong Kaihui took it alone to the photo studio to develop it, he asked the master to develop an extra copy of each photo.
After Yang Xiaotong received the photos mailed by Zhong Kaihui, she couldn't put it down and carefully took them one by one, as Zhong Kaihui said, her daughter has grown into a beautiful big girl, and she seems to be much taller than her.
Although she misses her daughter very much, she is cowardly by nature and doesn't know when she will be able to break through the barrier in her heart and recognize her daughter.
After the photo studio developed the photos, Zhong Kaihui took a stack of beautiful photos and took Lin Ruoxi's daughter to the gate of Bao Xiaodie's school to wait for her.
It took a full two hours for Bao Xiaodie to come out.
Bao Xiaodie is full of affection for Zhong Kaihui, who is a warm-hearted woman.
Although they have an age difference of nearly 30 years, there is no barrier between them, and they can talk very well.
Bao Xiaodie wanted to talk to Zhong Kaihui on Saturday or Sunday when school was out of the day, so she asked, "Where do you live?" How can I find you in the future? ”
Zhong Kaihui said: "You can go to the 'Ruona Beauty Salon' to find me, I am waiting for you there every Saturday, how about it?" ”
Bao Xiaodie remembers that Lin Ruoxi's beauty salon is called "Ruona Beauty Salon"
, so he was surprised and asked, "Are you very familiar with Lin Ruoxi?" ”
"I'm working as a nanny for her family now."
Zhong Kaihui pretended to be surprised and said, "It turns out that you know Lin Ruoxi!" ”
Bao Xiaodie snorted coldly and said, "Don't mention her, she is a ruthless and unrighteous woman!" I've known her before. ”
She almost blurted out that Lin Ruoxi used to be her sister-in-law, but suddenly thought that there was no need to say it, so she urgently "braked"
。
Although Bao Xiaodie didn't say it, Zhong Kaihui had long known that Lin Ruoxi was the wife of her brother who was not related by blood.
Zhong Kaihui and Lin Ruoxi had no relationship or any intersection before, so how could she know so clearly?
The cause of the incident began 17 years ago.
At that time, Yang Xiaotong couldn't bear to throw away her daughter who was born less than two months old in person, so she asked Zhong Kaihui to help lose the child, and also asked Zhong Kaihui to secretly observe who would take her daughter, she wanted to know where her daughter was settled, and when her daughter grew up, she would find a chance to recognize her daughter.
Zhong Kaihui did as she wanted.
When Mei Zhifang picked Bao Xiaodie up from the bamboo basket, Zhong Kaihui was hiding in a nearby hidden place and watched silently.
Later, Yang Xiaotong returned to the countryside from S City, and was bumped into by her husband who suddenly came back from odd jobs in the city with a love = husband Chen Can stole = love, and her angry husband stabbed Chen Can to death on the spot with a knife, Yang Xiaotong had no choice but to go away to avoid the condemnation and abuse of the villagers.
After Yang Xiaotong went to other provinces, due to the long distance, he rarely had time to come back to his daughter quietly, so he entrusted Zhong Kaihui, who has been working in S City, to learn about his daughter's situation from time to time.
Yang Xiaotong once risked a huge risk to save Zhong Kaihui's life, and she readily agreed to be grateful to Yang Xiaotong.
Zhong Kaihui naturally didn't dare to disclose her identity to Mei Zhifang's daughter Xiaotong, because she was afraid of arousing unnecessary suspicion.
So she took the opportunity to take the initiative to recognize a sister with a woman in Mei Zhifang's village, and from time to time knocked on the woman's side to inquire about Yang Xiaotong's daughter's life in Mei Zhifang's house.
The woman told her what she knew about Mei Zhifang's treatment of her adopted daughter.
Not only that, but also told the situation of another boy adopted by Mei Zhifang.
Later, Feng Tianyu was taken away by the police at the wedding scene, and Zhong Kaihui also learned about it from the woman's mouth.
Therefore, she knew that Feng Tianyu's new wife was called Lin Ruoxi.
Of course, Zhong Kaihui would not tell Bao Xiaodie how she knew that Lin Ruoxi was Feng Tianyu's wife, because if she said it, she would be rejected or even disgusted, so that she might not be able to get close to her in the future.
Although Zhong Kaihui knew that Lin Ruoxi was the wife of Bao Xiaodie's unrelated brother, she didn't know why Bao Xiaodie resented Lin Ruoxi.
She wanted to ask Bao Xiaodie, but after thinking about it, she forgot it, since Xiaodie was secretive about Lin Ruoxi being Feng Tianyu's wife, then it would be futile to ask her.
Bao Xiaodie looked at Zhong Kaihui suspiciously and asked, "How long have you known Lin Ruoxi?" How did you meet? ”
"We've known each other for less than two months."
Zhong Kaihui smiled, and then said: "I passed by the door of her beauty salon that day, and there was a notice on the glass door to recruit a nanny. ”
Bao Xiaodie said in her heart I thought you and Lin Ruoxi had known each other for a long time, and you took the initiative to approach me under Lin Ruoxi's instructions, but it turned out that you were suspicious.
In order to further overturn her suspicions, she thought: Lin Ruoxi has no interest in herself, how could she instruct Aunt Zhong to approach her?
It's just a coincidence that Aunt Zhong worked as a nanny for Lin Ruoxi's family.
Bao Xiaodie said in a commanding tone, "Aunt Zhong, I don't have a good impression of that woman Lin Ruoxi, so I hope you don't mention me in front of her in the future!" ”
Zhong Kaihui said: "Don't worry, I won't mention it." ”
Bao Xiaodie said, "I won't go to 'Jona Beauty', so how can I find you in the future?" ”
Zhong Kaihui said: "I have a mobile phone, you remember my mobile phone number, you can call me when you want to find me." ”
Bao Xiaodie said, "Good"
