Chapter Twenty-Six: The Second Friend

Maybe it naively heard Mrs. Wu's prayers, maybe it took pity on these villagers who were already in a difficult situation, or maybe it simply wanted to fulfill Xu Ming's wish to tread the snow and find plums, and had no intention of hurting others. www.biquge.info In any case, on the evening of the eleventh day, the wind stopped and so did the snow. Xu Ming and Mrs. Wu finished shoveling the snow on the roof and the small courtyard, and stood at the gate of the small courtyard and looked at the center of the village.

"Thank you, Boss Xu!" Mrs. Wu looked at Xu Ming, who was still a little out of breath, and gently approached him, patting the snow on his back and the corners of his clothes!

"Oh, I'll do it myself!" Xu Ming hurriedly patted the snow on her body by herself, it was inconvenient for her to bend over while pregnant. "What are you thankful for, call me Xu Ming in the future, don't be the boss boss has to be called, they are all friends!"

"Friends? Well, friend, I'm lucky to be friends with such a warm-hearted, kind, handsome, and wealthy boss as you. ”

"You're making fun of me again, and you're rich, you're talented, okay!" Xu Ming lost his mother since he was a child, and his father was busy with work all the year round, so he lived with his grandmother since he was a child. Grandma Xu is not afraid of heaven and earth, just afraid of the same, her daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson.

Xu Ming's father is the youngest son in the family, and he has four older brothers. The four elder brothers all gave birth to sons, and Grandma Xu originally pinned her hopes on Xu Ming's father, hoping that he could add a granddaughter to herself. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and it's still a grandson. So Xu Ming was often raised as a girl when he was a child. Grandma Xu put on a skirt and pigtails for him, and always praised him when she took him out: "Look at my eldest grandson, with fine skin and tender meat, white and pure, how much like a big granddaughter!" ”

Therefore, Xu Ming had a very vague understanding of his gender for a while. He doesn't want to be treated like a girl, so as a boy, he has a strong sense of inferiority and loss. He felt that he was not recognized and respected as a boy, so he worked desperately to prove himself.

When he was in high school, he refused financial support from his family and began to work part-time, and he earned his own college and study abroad expenses. After graduation, he refused to work in his family's company, and insisted on starting a business alone. Although his own business is getting bigger and bigger, making more and more money, and his male identity and status are widely recognized in society, he is indeed becoming more and more confused. He was still called by his grandmother: "My beautiful grandson!" He can never change his grandmother's desire for him to be a granddaughter and treat him as a granddaughter. He didn't know the meaning and direction of his efforts, he was anxious and confused, and even fell into a deep depression.

Later, during his treatment, the psychiatrist gave him a suggestion to change to a new living environment and experience a completely different way of life. Hopefully, the new environment can divert his bad emotions and give him new motivation to move forward.

By chance, he came here, where he was amazed by poverty and deprivation, and ashamed of the simplicity and expectations of the people. What he has is beyond their reach, but he is born in the midst of blessings and trapped by blessings. He was so lucky compared to them that he decided to change their fate within the scope of his ability, improve their living conditions, and make their lives better. He's only done a little bit now, but he's received their unbridled praise and admiration. Thinking that he was an invincible warrior in their eyes, Xu Ming smiled knowingly. He never felt that he was so important, the villagers praised and thanked him, which made him feel more honor, or social responsibility, he felt that his feeling of being needed made him more motivated and secure, and he felt that he loved here more and more, and he couldn't leave here more and more.

This also made him reacquaint himself with his grandmother's feelings for him, and he always thought that grandma's desire for her to be a girl was fundamentally rejection and denial of him! Now he understands that his grandmother loves him, and his grandmother's expectation that he is a girl does not affect her love for her grandson, this child, as a grandmother. That is, even if he is a boy, his grandmother loves him just as much. She just has a beautiful expectation, no care!

"Do you know why I have to choose your house to rent?" Xu Ming wore the hemp gray woolen gloves knitted to her by Mrs. Wu, and asked with a smile on her face.

"I don't know, I'm quiet here?" It shouldn't be right, this sissy is not a person who likes to be quiet, he likes to drill into the pile of people when he has nothing to do, and now in the village, his popularity is almost surpassing that of the third aunt.

"It's just one of them, the most important thing is that your yard is quaint. It's similar to the castle in my grandmother's story when I was a kid. Well, it's just a little smaller, a little shorter. "A big man, still imagining the appearance of a castle, it seems that he has always had a child living in his heart, still a little girl. Isn't it just a little girl who likes princesses, castles and the like?

"Then there is the fact that your yard is high and close to the back mountain, so I can climb the mountain at any time and see the whole village. I especially like this, this feeling of looking down from a high vantage point and looking down at the mountains. "Yes, he likes the feeling of being able to help others, and he loves the feeling of being needed.

Mrs. Wu and Xu Ming have been getting along these days, and they have figured out a position that is most suitable for Xu Ming in this village, the women's director. Yes, he is the most suitable to be the women's director, he can talk and talk, especially the little daughters-in-law. Since the village chief's daughter-in-law was paralyzed in bed with a blood clot, the position of women's director has been vacant, and there is really no suitable candidate in their village.

Mrs. Wu saw the picture of Xu Ming distributing family planning supplies everywhere in front of her eyes, and she unconsciously laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Ming originally spoke seriously, but he didn't know where he hit Mrs. Wu's laughter. However, why bother pursuing it, it's good that she is so happy. Xu Ming also laughed.

Mrs. Wu saw that Xu Ming didn't know why she had to smirk, and she felt even more funny, laughing so much that she was about to lose her breath, and she wanted to stop but couldn't stop. "Whatever I laugh at, you laugh along!"

"Why are you laughing, tell me!"

"Don't say it, haha"

"Okay, sell it with me! See how to clean up you! After Xu Ming finished speaking, he grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu pretended to be angry, and Xu Ming slapped the snowflakes on Mrs. Wu's body while apologizing.

Mrs. Wu laughed a little tired, so she endured her sore waist and turned around to pinch a big snowball, ready to give him a big soup ball while Xu Ming was not paying attention. In the snowy days, in addition to climbing the mountain to enjoy the snow, Xu Ming's favorite thing is to throw snowballs and have snowball fights in the yard with the children.

"Smack"

"Ouch!"

The snowball flew out with a whoosh, splashing snow-white pear blossoms in all directions. It was indeed not Xu Ming, who was bending down and laughing, but Wu Duo, who had just approached behind him.

"Ma'am."

Wu Duo hadn't met Mrs. Wu properly since he told Mrs. Wu about Wu Da, and he didn't know how to face him. In the past, Wu Da was there, he knew that she couldn't accept him, teasing her by her side, and willingly guarding her had no hope. There is no pressure to get along with her freely, but now, he has the opportunity to be with her for real, and he is a little overwhelmed. He didn't know how to make her happy, happy, to make her accept him. He wasn't used to the change for a while.

Besides, Wu Da repeatedly instructed him not to let him tell Mrs. Wu, he broke his promise, and felt a little sorry for Wu Da in his heart. After all, over the years, he has treated him well, he betrayed his buddies and felt that he was a little inauthentic. Although he betrayed first, he still couldn't be calm. Maybe it's because they've been getting along in this way all these years, and when it changes, he is at a loss. He didn't know that his mind was in a mess, and suddenly he had no idea. Therefore, it was also he who deliberately avoided Mrs. Wu, and he wanted to wait until he thought clearly before seeing her.

But when he mustered up the courage to meet her, she did say so many cruel things to him that he could not accept.

When Mrs. Wu saw that it was Wu Duo, she took a selfie and patted the snow on her hands, held her waist and turned around and entered the house. She didn't blame him, she didn't want to see him. She used to treat him as a brother, and she used to joke about him when he said. Naturally, she was not stupid, and she knew what he was thinking about her. But she thought it was because he had been single and couldn't find a daughter-in-law, so she had to pin some emotions on herself, and when he had a chance to find a daughter-in-law, he naturally put her down.

She never took his feelings, his words, or even his person, seriously!

But since he came to her that day and said to her seriously: "If you leave Wuda and follow me, I will be good to you for the rest of my life!" She looked into his eyes and his face, and she knew that she couldn't stop taking him seriously. She had to let him die that heart, she couldn't be with him, even if Wuda really didn't want her, she couldn't. Because in her heart, he is a younger brother, and she can't get over the hurdle in her heart. Besides, if you really want to be with him, what do others think of the two of you? They were innocent before, but they really couldn't wash it even to the Yellow River. That would not be fair to him, after all, she was a pregnant child.

"I'll bring you some vegetables and fruit." These are the things he begged for Uncle Six-Fingered, and it was so easy to get them. Uncle Six-Finger has a cellar, and every time he goes to the town to catch up with the market and sell meat, he will buy some fresh vegetables and fruits and come back to sell them out.

In the days when the snow has fallen, the only ones who still have vegetables and fruits at home are the six-fingered uncle's house. These are the six-fingered uncles who are not ready to sell them for themselves. He exchanged Xu Ming for a box of good cigarettes that he was not willing to smoke before, which was a precious treasure.

"These weren't bought by Boss Xu, they were specially sent to you." Vudo emphasized. Standing behind them just now, watching them laugh and play, Xu Ming was a little unhappy about Mrs. Wu's actions.

"You can take it back, you still have it at home, you don't need it."

"I heard from the third aunt that it is best to eat some fruits during pregnancy, and the baby will grow white and beautiful in the future."

"Take it, I really don't need it." Mrs. Wu grabbed the basket that Wu Duo put on the ground and handed it to Wu Duo's arms, but Wu Duo did not answer, and as soon as Mrs. Wu let go, the basket fell to the ground, and some wilted apples, hawthorns, carrots, and cabbage bones rolled to the ground.

Xu Ming hurriedly got up to pick it up, and Mrs. Wu was also about to pick it up, Xu Ming grabbed Mrs. Wu's arm and said, "You sit, you have an inconvenient body." ”

Wu Duo looked at Xu Ming, and then at Mrs. Wu, who was blushing and pulling out her arm from Xu Ming's hand, as if she understood something, she turned around and opened the heavy door curtain and ran away.
