Chapter 2 Osmanthus Cake

The sixteen-year-old girl was a peach blossom, Su Youling had a good body, her clothes looked good no matter how she wore them, and after she arrived in Shanghai, she became a little whiter, which became more eye-catching. The female worker who www.biquge.info the factory had some good things to do was going to introduce her, but she only knew that she could not understand it, and if she said something about the little girl, people thought that she was still young and ignorant, and it was not easy to continue.

The rape flowers behind the factory building became more and more scarce after a long time, Gu Xiaochun was engaged, her fiancé's surname was Li, and she planned to get married at the end of this year, Su Youling couldn't help but feel cold and bored, Gu Xiaochun definitely didn't live in the factory building after getting married, and now she has begun to be busy with marriage, and she can no longer play with Su Youling often. Su Youling sometimes plays the role of a little girl, and insists on following Gu Xiaochun and her fiancé out to buy wedding things, holding Gu Xiaochun and holding Gu Xiaochun, claiming that Brother Li has abducted her sister, and this marriage thing must pass through her eyes, which makes the two of them cry and laugh. However, she is still measured, and she will let them go after messing around twice, and since then she has lost one of her closest playmates. Looking at the rape flowers that were gradually receding outside, she was also saddened.

I didn't see Master Xiao Zhao these two times, and the annoying guy at the counter always liked to tease her, she felt bored and boring, and she ignored it, which made the guy more and more happy to tease her, and she got some news between her words. That guy is long-winded, and she dislikes it, but everything related to Master Xiao Zhao, she sharpened her ears to listen, her heart was sweet, complacent, and she had a straight face and white eyes, and she thought he was verbose. For a while, she lived in this complacency.

And it was already May when she met Master Xiao Zhao again. The spring breeze in the evening of May is intoxicating, and the fragrance of magnolia blossoms fills the air, and even the air is sweet. After getting off work, she went out alone, and when she passed by Zhao Xingji, a young man was coming out at the door, and she couldn't see it very clearly, but she shouted out, "Hey, Master Zhao!" She was surprised at why she was so uncalm, and she had seen him two or three times, and she seemed to have known him for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He greeted her with a smile, carrying something in his hand as if he had something to go out, she felt that she hadn't seen him for a long time, and she hadn't seen him every time she came to the store, and she had unconsciously walked towards him at this time, "Master Xiao Zhao is busy, where are you going to go this way?" "Ahem, go to a relative to deliver something, just call me Xiao Zhao, it's just an ......apprentice," he said to her a little embarrassed, as he hung his things on the bicycle faucet and fastened it. She saw that he was still carrying a bunch of Wan Nianqing, presumably the old Wan Nian Qing in their store was distributed for others to raise, so she asked him to ask for one, saying that he had been coveting the Wan Nian Qing in their store for a long time, and he had always wanted to move one, and he thought the guy at the counter was stingy and didn't want to talk to him. She saw that he was in a hurry to leave, so she didn't say much to him, he said hello to her and rode away. She carried the evergreen plant and stood in the wind on the street, the May night breeze was already warm, and it was very comfortable to blow softly, but her heart was empty.

The evergreen plant was planted, and she found an abandoned flower pot in the factory and raised it on the windowsill.

There were no rape flowers outside the window, as if it was just a moment, as if a brilliant dream had passed in an instant, and she still remembered that he had opened the flowers and came to pick up kites, and brought with him a large area of golden yellow like a dream, and kites all over the sky...... The spring of May was clear, a large area of greenery, a clear blue sky, so clean that she was lost.

After a period of time, their yarn factory was very busy, turning like a spinning top every day, irritable and depressed, and they were so tired that they didn't want to move when they came back from work. She hasn't been to Zhao Xingji for a while, and she just bought some pastries nearby to fill her hunger in the middle of the night, as long as she can resist her hunger, she can't care about anything else. During that time, her only solace was the longevity of the windowsill. Later, she eased down a little, and was less nervous, and her mouth missed the osmanthus cake.

That afternoon, she went to Zhao Xingji, never thought that they no longer made osmanthus cakes, and there were so few people who bought them, so they changed to different kinds of cakes. She sighed, and the first thing that came to her mind was that Master Xiao Zhao was still working here, and it was not good to ask the guy directly, so as not to be teased by him again, so she said in a frivolous tone: "Yo, the master has changed, do you have any new pastry recommendations?" "The master hasn't changed, but now there are jujube cakes and plum cakes, let's try them?" The man held out a plate of broken cakes, and she took two pieces and tasted them, and finally frowned twice, saying yes, but absent-mindedly. The guy also saw that she didn't like these pastries, so he chattered on the side, saying that the osmanthus cake had not been made for a while, and she hadn't come for a while, so she didn't know, and said that one day after that, Master Xiao Zhao didn't know why he made the osmanthus cake again, and he didn't do much, and no one bought it, so he never made it. Her heart suddenly moved, as if she had been struck by something, and she exuded a lingering sound. Is this an echo if you don't forget it? The afternoon sun shone brightly on her face.

From Zhao Xingji, she walked along the street, and the wind was blowing, with the smell of spring sunshine, and everything around her was so bright. She had never been so enthusiastic as she was today, gazing with interest at every shop along the street and every person who caught her attention, and her long-suppressed steps were unusually brisk. She even lost track of the time and kept walking on a bright spring afternoon...... Later, I walked next to the school, there was a sports field inside the iron fence, and there were students taking sports classes. There seemed to be pigeons on the tall building behind the sports field, and flocks of pigeons flew up and circled around the top of the highest roof, flying across the sky, shining silver and white in the sun, and the humming pigeon whistle sounded so far away that she was a little obsessed.

She never thought that she would meet Master Xiao Zhao here, and she was as panicked as a dream. He rode by on his bicycle, and when he met her, he was also a little happy, and the gliding pigeon stopped in front of her, and asked her why she was here alone, and she smiled, "Nothing to do, come out for a walk." When asked where he was from, he said that he had come from a relative in Jing'an Temple, and that he was resting today to see his relative. She sighed, saying that the last time she met him, she also went to a relative's place to deliver things, and he said that his brother opened a tea shop in Jing'an Temple, and the time-honored Zhao Xingji here was opened by a distant relative, and he was an apprentice here...... The two of them were talking and talking, and they walked back side by side. He said that his name is Zhao Liansheng, his hometown Ningbo, Jing'an Temple is his brother Gui Sheng, and he now wants to learn more from the master in the shop, hoping to help Gui Sheng in the future...... When she reached the corner of the junction, she stopped and looked at him with a smile, the sun casting flickers through the leaves and sparkling on his brows. He waited for the passing car to ask her if she had come here by car, because it was a long way from their mill, and she said that she had come all the way, and he was surprised, so he asked her if she would like to ride his bicycle back, and she giggled and said that she would not jump in the back seat while the bicycle was moving, and he waited until she was seated before riding forward. At first, she was worried that he was unstable, so she grabbed two pairs of clothes, but then she felt his temper, so she boldly pulled the edge of the car seat...... The soft wind blew through the surface of her feet, as if warm water was blowing, it was very pleasant, she lifted the feet of two black cloth stumbling shoes, and suddenly remembered the embroidered shoes she wore when she first arrived in Shanghai in early spring, and couldn't help but smile slightly, looking at the street scene along the way......

"You take me to your shop, thank you, I'll go to the factory......" she told him, and he said yes. She thought of it and complained that their shop didn't make osmanthus cakes, saying that none of the current pastries were her favorite, he smiled and didn't speak, and then asked her, "Is the osmanthus cake really as good as you say?" She didn't speak, but turned to something else.

Zhao Xingji was about to come down before she arrived, he walked back side by side with her, and when he arrived at the entrance of an alley, he stopped, because the back door of their store was open in an alley, and he usually entered and exited through the back door. He said goodbye to her, pushed the cart into the alley, didn't walk a few steps and turned back to call her, shouting "belch", he was embarrassed to ask her what her name was, he said that he made her osmanthus cake, she was a little uncertain at first, he said again, "I'll make you osmanthus cake." …… When do you have time to come over? She was confused for a moment, unable to speak, incoherent, "Oh, good. …… Is that all there is? Wait for me to work the day shift, Wednesday...... After getting off work on Wednesday afternoon...... "She was in a state of pause, and after separating from him, she came back to her senses, and she didn't eat the osmanthus cake, but her heart was full of the smell of osmanthus cake echoing, and the sweet fragrance made people blush like drunk.

In fact, the weather on this day was the last good day, and there was always a slight drunkenness in the air for the next two days, like it was going to rain and it couldn't come. She thought about which clothes to wear to see him for two days, in fact, she is wearing two clothes now, a peach sleeve shirt and a white embroidered shirt and pants are worn in turn, the pink one is slightly delicate, she really wants to wear it to get the osmanthus cake, and she feels embarrassed, the white embroidered shirt and pants she is too ordinary, and she thinks about it for two days or wears the white one. The white shirt and pants were washed the next day, but I didn't expect it to rain on Wednesday, she got off work at dusk and touched her clothes before they were completely dry.

She went to the alley they had talked about and turned into the alley at the back door of Zhao Xingji, but she didn't know which number it was, so she looked all the way and guessed by feeling. There was a tall steamer stacked in the window of a house, she thought it was this one, but she was embarrassed to stand at the back door of the house and wait, and was about to walk not far away - the back door of the number opened, she turned around, and Zhao Liansheng came out with an umbrella. She smiled and walked towards him, "I guess it's this number, besides your store, who else has such a stack of steamers." He smiled, a little embarrassed, and handed her a bag of paper-wrapped osmanthus cakes, which were still hot, "I also thought if you knew each other, and you were about to come out, but you found it first." Eh, the osmanthus cake has just been made......" She said playfully: "Yo, Master Xiao Zhao specially made it, is this custom-made more expensive than the one sold in the hall?" He looked down embarrassedly and smiled, "Don't be kidding, it's rare that you like osmanthus cake......" She took the osmanthus cake and glanced at him, pursed her lips and smiled, and walked out of the alley, he gave her away, and she didn't be polite to him.

The spring rain continued, and the cement on the ground was a little slippery, and both of them walked slowly. She smelled the fragrance of osmanthus cake, walked in the narrow and deep alley, and talked to him without a match, but she kept smiling unconsciously, and with a smile and leaned over with an umbrella to cover her face, so as not to let him see it. He wore a black tunic today, looking polite and gentle, accompanied her to the road, sent her back to the factory, and she also felt that he was thoughtful in his words and demeanor, just like the warmth of the osmanthus cake in his arms, which made her blush a little.

She didn't let him send to the factory gate, and said goodbye to him some way away from the factory, thanked him, he smiled and gestured, and told her that she could find him to do it again after eating, he was usually in the store during the day, she promised, and he turned around and went back to the factory gate. A notice was posted at the gate of their factory today, and she didn't notice it when she hurriedly went out, half of the words written on the notice she didn't know, and there was no one in the four places, so she wanted to call him to help her see, but she choked for a while, and didn't know what to call him, calling him by his name or calling him "Xiao Zhao" was disrespectful, after all, he was already her brother's age; Called "Master Xiao Zhao" and showed that she was too separated, she shouted to him in a hurry, but there were thousands of indescribable emotions surging up, she blushed suddenly, and timidly beckoned to him to signal him to come and see the notice. He came over a little confused, and she was embarrassed to say that she couldn't read a lot, so he agreed to read the notice carefully. It was their factory that wanted to issue a new batch of bib hats, so that they could find their own factory supervisors. She was polite to him now, smiling in her eye sockets, saying that it was troublesome to him, he smiled, motioned her to enter the factory, she smiled and glanced at him, turned around and walked towards the factory, did not walk a few steps and turned to look at him, he left with an umbrella, one arm wrapped in tight sleeves was copied in his pocket, a thin and neat young man. She thought about it and blamed herself for her crankiness, and forced herself to sober up and walked to the factory building.

The spring rain was dripping for many days, and she didn't go out for a few days. She blamed the spring rain, as if it was too embarrassing to go out to find him in the wet weather, if it was a good day, forget it, and go out for a walk. She washed her head and sat at the window playing with her hair, holding a lock in her hand and slowly bounced it away, thinking about him, it was all some fragments and moments, thinking of the day he helped her read the notice, she remembered something and looked everywhere for a while-she remembered that a sister brought a box of plum cabbage and meat from home not long ago, wrapped in two newspapers, and I don't know which one the newspaper was thrown into. Later, when they came back from washing, she asked them, and they had already wrapped other things and left them under the bed, and when they took them out to her, they were no longer the same. She took it in her hand and looked at it roughly, thanked the people, only said that she didn't understand the notice in the factory that day, and thought that she wanted to learn to read and write, so she sat and read the newspaper. Her sisters were also happy to discuss with her, joking that she was a model of studiousness.
