Shanhe's injuries were not severe, and he was quickly discharged from the hospital, and then went to the Public Security Bureau to make a record.
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, she went to Ami's house and told her uncle and aunt to take good care of Ah Hui and not let him run around anymore. Then, Shanhe asked Ah Hui about the introducer, but Ah Hui gave her a face and refused to say anything.
Shanhe was about to reprimand Ah Hui, but his uncle and aunt protected Ah Hui at once, saying that they would not let Shanhe teach him a lesson.
The uncle even scolded her: "My own son, don't worry about you!" ”
Shanhe is so angry that her liver hurts, she is really a loving mother and father, but she is helpless. Shanhe thought of Meng Wutong's words, and he was afraid that he would be too anxious, and Ah Hui had a rebellious mentality, so he planned to slow down and ask slowly in the future.
After finishing the matter, Shanhe returned to the hotel.
Life goes on, and life goes on as usual.
On the weekend, Shanhe received a call from the landlord of the store, asking her for rent.
In fact, the 50,000 yuan she transferred to Brother Jie was going to be used to pay the rent, but now the money can't be recovered. She had to find another way to raise the rent, or the landlord would have to take back the shop and the restaurant would have to close.
Shanhe didn't like to default on other people's rent, so after hanging up the phone, he said to Ami and Uncle Ming: "I have something to do, I want to go home, and I will be back in a while." ”
It happened to be in the afternoon, and there were no guests in the hotel, so Ami said, "Sister, I'll accompany you!" ”
Shanhe nodded, drove a domestic car, and took Ami back to the house where he lived.
It didn't take long for Meng Wutong to come to the hotel. After inquiry, I learned that Shanhe received a call from the landlord to urge the rent, and then drove home.
Meng Wutong didn't stay long, and then left the hotel.
**
Shanhe returned home, went directly into the bedroom, and took out a beautiful wood carved box from the wardrobe.
Ami looked at Shanhe and took out the wooden carving box, and said in surprise: "Sister, what are you going to do?" This is the dowry that my aunt left you! ”
Shanhe didn't speak, sat quietly on the sofa, placed the wooden carved box on the coffee table, and then opened the lid.
The box contains a set of gold jewelry with very exquisite craftsmanship, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings, all with a strong Miao family style. Shanhe also has a complete set of Miao silver jewelry, including silver horn headdress, silver handkerchief, silver hairpin, silver earrings, etc., which are also left to her by Shanhe's mother. It's just that the total value of this set of silver jewelry is not high, and it is not as valuable as gold jewelry. And the significance of silver jewelry in Miao culture is very important, so Shanhe came up with this set of gold jewelry.
Ami asked again: "Sister, are you going to sell this set of gold jewelry to pay the rent?" ”
Shanhe didn't answer, but nodded slightly.
"How's that going to work? This is the dowry that my aunt left you! ”
Shanhe pulled his lips and smiled, it doesn't matter if the dowry is or not, anyway, she is already an older leftover girl, and she doesn't have much hope that she can get married in this life. Marriage itself is a very troublesome thing, she has no family background, and she has no parents, and men with good conditions may not look down on her, but she herself is also a particular person, she would rather be single, than compromise, and refuse to be wronged.
Shanhe thought of Meng Wutong again, this man is really good, both in appearance and inside, he is the best. She wasn't sure what kind of feelings she had for him, she was a little moved and a little moved, but she hadn't yet reached the point of falling in love with him. After all, he is Meng Yangliu's elder brother, she can accept him as a person, but she can't accept his family.
If Meng Wutong was not Meng Yangliu's brother, she might have accepted him and agreed to be with him. However, there are always many regrets but inevitable things in life, if Meng Wutong is not Meng Yangliu's brother, how can she know him? These contradictions were doomed ten years ago, and Meng Wutong and his family were inseparable, so she and Meng Wutong were destined to be fruitless!
Thinking of the past, Shanhe felt a little sad and a little sad.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ami saw her staring at the jewelry box in a daze, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Nothing, let's go out!"
**
Meng Wutong stood downstairs and saw Shanhe and Ami walking downstairs together, and Shanhe was still holding a beautiful woodcarved box in his hand. The sisters then got into the car and drove away.
Meng Wutong didn't walk up, just stood silently and watched.
That day in the ward, after Jiang Yu left, Shanhe rejected him again, and she still said the same sentence: "Meng Wutong, I will never love you." ”
In fact, Meng Wutong knew very well in her heart that because of Yang Liu, she would say that. But...... So what does it matter? He knew that the mountains and rivers had gradually begun to move, and the girl he had been waiting for and waiting for for ten years finally had him in his eyes. He believed that as long as he had been silently waiting by her side, she would finally accept him wholeheartedly.
Meng Wutong drove behind Shanhe's car, watched their car stop outside the jewelry store, and then they got out of the car and entered the jewelry store together with the wood carving box. Meng Wutong also got out of the car and stood outside the shop, watching Shanhe bargain with the manager through the window pane, and she still held a gold chain as thick as a baby's thumb in her hand.
Meng Wutong immediately understood that she was selling her gold jewelry, in order to raise money to fill the vacancy of 50,000 yuan! Shanhe is such a girl, she has no father since she was a child, and she is used to carrying any difficulties by herself, and she never asks others for help. Although she is petite on the outside, she is very strong on the inside, and this is the girl he likes.
Sunward negotiated the price with the manager of the jewelry store, and the two sides began to sign the transaction agreement, after all, this is a large gold jewelry transaction, if the gold jewelry is not from the right source, then Shanhe will bear full responsibility. The clerk measured the weight of the full set of jewelry in front of the mountains and rivers, and checked the purity when it was finished.
After all the transactions were completed, Shanhe took the money and left the jewelry store.
Meng Wutong hid beside him, and after Shanhe and Ami left, he walked into the jewelry store.
Before the set of gold jewelry could be collected, the manager of the jewelry store couldn't put it down with the necklace, and it was obvious that the jewelry store had made a profit.
Meng Wutong knocked on the counter and said, "Give me that set of gold jewelry, and I'll buy it." ”
**
Shanhe got the money and paid the rent directly, returned to the hotel, and sat on the stool in a daze. Thinking that the gold jewelry left to her by her mother may never come back, she can't help but feel a little depressed.
By eight o'clock in the evening, the restaurant had no business, and all the lunch boxes from the project department were delivered.
Closing the roller shutter door of the hotel, Shanhe didn't want to go home, so he planned to wander around alone. She took out her mobile phone and made sure that there was no problem with the surveillance heads at the front and back doors before leaving the hotel. Since the incident with Boss Zhou, she has had an extra eye, the back door has been replaced with an anti-theft door, and a monitoring head has been installed.
When night fell, Shanhe walked quietly on the river alone. The dim street lamps seemed to spread a layer of golden frost on the road, and there were many people who came out for a walk after dinner, locals or outsiders, and many children laughing and playing on the riverbank.
Shanhe stopped, leaned over the railing, and looked across the river at Vietnam.
The boundaries between the countries are separated by a river only a few tens of meters wide, and although they are very close, they are always two kingdoms. It's like between her and Meng Wutong, there is always such an insurmountable river.
A couple of Vietnamese women with burdens appeared on the riverbank, carrying pointed hats, selling their wares, hammocks, bracelets and other knick-knacks to the strolling crowd.
There are also many special snacks in Vietnam, such as Vietnamese small rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls, and duck eggs.
Shanhe likes duck eggs very much, and the taste is very unique. A Vietnamese woman selling duck eggs appeared in front of her, she walked forward without hesitation, came to the Vietnamese woman, sat on a small stool, and said, "Three duck eggs!" ”
Women are such amazing creatures, and when they are in a bad mood, they either go shopping or eat. Mountains and rivers belong to the latter.
The Vietnamese woman was very happy to see the business coming to her door, so she took out a small plastic bowl and began to make zuò condiments. She first took some perilla leaves and shredded ginger and put them in a bowl, cut them with scissors, poured in MSG and pepper and salt, squeezed out fresh lime juice, and finally poured in the soaked red pepper soup, and a sour and spicy topping was ready.
"Gollum." Shanhe seemed to have heard the sound of his own saliva.
At this time, the Vietnamese woman takes out the green-skinned duck eggs from the small boiler, knocks the eggshell from the middle, cuts it with scissors, and then pours the boiled duck eggs into the ingredients. This is a fifteen-day-old duckling embryo, the yolk is covered with blood vessels, and the egg white gives birth to a duckling that has not yet been fully formed, very similar to the living beads in China.
Those who have never eaten it may feel cruel and dare not bite it, but after taking a bite, the delicious and sour taste will never be forgotten. Shanhe also felt cruel when he was very young, but when he grew up and thought about it, there was no difference between eating duck embryos and killing adult ducks, both of which were killing! So I opened this mouth, and I couldn't stop anymore. This thing is not only delicious, but also particularly nourishing, high nutritional value, spleen and kidney, nourishing and nourishing beauty, especially suitable for women in confinement.
The Vietnamese woman puts three duck eggs in a small plastic bowl and hands them to Shanhe.
Shanhe was about to eat a lot, when a low male voice came from behind him: "Eat three in one go, you have a good appetite." ”
The voice was familiar, and she didn't have to look back, she knew who was behind her.
Shanhe didn't respond, buried his head in eating his duck eggs, well, the taste was really delicious, it was delicious!
Seeing that she didn't react, Jiang Yu didn't say anything, sat down on the small stool next to her, and said to the Vietnamese woman, "Give me one too." ”
Shanhe glanced at him, "You dare to eat it too?" ”
"You dare to eat even a girl, why don't I dare to eat it?" Jiang Yu took the small bowl from the Vietnamese woman's hand and silently ate the duck eggs with Shanhe.
After a while, Jiang Yu said, "I came to look for you, but there is actually something." ”
"Oh? Manager Jiang can tell me if he has anything! The mountains and rivers hula lala ate the three duck eggs, and handed the small bowl to the Vietnamese woman, "Two more." ”
Jiang Yu didn't want the duck eggs in his bowl anymore after eating them, put down the small bowl, and said calmly: "It's too hot now, I hope your restaurant can provide us with a lot of ice cubes at noon every day." ”
"Ice?" Shanhe raised his eyes and looked at him in surprise, "What do you want ice cubes for?" ”
"Cool down."
"Cool down?" Shanhe raised his eyebrows, and looked Jiangyu up and down, and his expression seemed to have some ambiguous meaning.
Jiang Yu ignored her eyes and said expressionlessly: "The temperature inside the Sun Village Tunnel is too high, the average temperature during the day is above thirty-five degrees, like a steamer, so a large amount of ice is needed to cool down the workers." ”
"Oh." Shanhe realized that he wanted to be crooked, so he lowered his head embarrassedly and quietly stuck out his tongue. "Can't you provide ice yourself? How do you order from us? ”
"The project department provides limited ice." Jiang Yu looked at her calmly, "You bought a new large-capacity freezer in the store, I saw it last time when I took a photo of you as a model." ”
Shanhe rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart that you remember it clearly, and then said: "I don't think you need ice, you just need to stand in the tunnel with this dead face, it's cold enough." ”
Jiangyu: "......"
