After eating a rich lunch comparable to a celebration banquet, the titles of several people were changed from "boss" to "uncle" one by one. Zhao Shirong was slightly drunk, patted He Wei's little shoulder vigorously, and said while burping: "Xiao He, uh, if you need help with anything next time, just look for me, uh, although your old Uncle Zhao and I are bankrupt, but the connections are still leveraged, uh, you don't have to, uh, you don't have to talk politely to me......"

He Wei's small body was almost broken up by him, and in the end, it was Tao Defu who came out and asked the two guys to put Zhao Shirong in the car and send him home.

He Wei followed Tao Defu back to Yu Embroidery Pavilion, and the other embroiderers and men all performed their duties, because she had just come to the store, and there was no work assigned to her, so she simply followed Tao Defu to his office with a cheeky face, and rubbed his good tea to drink.

Tao Defu was also generous to her, directly took out the best Pu'er that had been treasured for many years, after brewing, poured her a cup, and casually said that Boss Yuan wanted a statue of Guanyin, and did not say that people named her to embroider, but said: "Zhao Furong and Yu Yajun, because they have been embroidering in the store, they have saved a lot of work at hand, Boss Yuan's matter is temporary, speaking of which is also my friend, my friend's trust, I naturally want to give him the best, your embroidery skills, better than both of them, you have to think okay, this Guanyin statue, I will entrust it to you." ”

He Wei was very happy that business came to her door on the first day of work, and she hurriedly said, "Okay, Uncle Tao, you look at the arrangement." There's just something I'd like to discuss with you. ”

What He Wei wanted to ask was if she could take the embroidery home and do it. Except for weekends, she has to go to class during the day, and she has to stay for physical exercise after school in the evening, so she has no time to come to Yuxiu Pavilion. And since it's hidden from home, it's always hard to run out on weekends. In case she was asked, she should have a headache and make excuses again.

"That's fine." Todd agreed in one bite, "Just be careful, don't get the embroidery dirty, but I think you know that." ”

He Wei nodded, seeing that the problem was solved, she comfortably tasted the tea in the cup.

Since he wanted to take it home to embroider, Tao Defu called Zhou An and asked him to sort out all the needles and threads and fabrics that might be used for the Guanyin statue and put them in a non-woven bag for He Wei to carry back.

Before leaving, she said to Tao Defu: "Uncle Tao, this Guanyin statue is a gift from me to the store, so don't give me money." ”

Tao Defu was surprised when he heard it: "Xiao He, you are ......"

"You and Yu Xiuge take such good care of me, I am thinking about embroidering something to give to the store, since there are guests who want Guanyin statues, it also saves me from thinking about embroidering samples. The repair fee for the embroidered screen, Uncle Tao didn't let me be polite, and in the same way, please don't be polite to me about this matter, so it's settled. I'll pick things up, embroider them or have any other problems, I'll come back to the store. ”

After speaking, He Wei shook the non-woven bag in his hand towards Tao Defu, turned around and walked out of the gate of Yuxiu Pavilion.

"Hey! This girl ......"

Tao Defu was stunned when he heard it, and when he heard it, where could he still see He Wei's figure? couldn't help laughing: "This little girl is interesting, don't look at her young age, she definitely has a way of dealing with people!" ”

After He Wei brought the embroidery home, of course she didn't dare to do it in front of her family, but just put it in the evening, before doing yoga, embroidering for an hour. If it takes too long, I am afraid that it will affect my eyesight.

He Xidong has to go out of the stall after dinner, and he basically won't come back until eleven o'clock, unless it rains.

He Wei usually accompanies He Mu to watch the local soap opera in prime time for a while, and as soon as it is half past eight, she consciously gets up and washes. After washing, I returned to my cubicle, took off my school uniform, changed into cotton pajamas made by He's mother, practiced yoga for a while and then went to sleep. The schedule is as regular as that of an elderly lady.

Now that she has embroidery, her routine has changed slightly.

After He Xidong went out, she also said to her parents, went back to her room, and carefully fastened the latch.

Father and Mother He thought she was studying, after all, after entering junior high school, her remarkable progress was obvious to everyone, and they all consciously let go of their hands and feet and tried not to disturb her.

And when He Xidong came back, she had basically finished practicing yoga and went to bed and fell asleep.

Such a regular day passed in a flash to the end of the month.

The hand-embroidered picture of Guanyin has also been completed by one-third.

On November 3rd and 4th, the school organized an autumn outing.

There is an unwritten convention in Mingjiang Middle School, that is, each junior high school student can organize a two-day tour to collect wind. However, in order to ensure the safety of students, all teachers in all grades are assigned to each class.

Thanks to the blessing of the third junior high school students, the first and second junior high school students can also rest for a day on the fourth after the autumn outing on the third day.

And He Wei, who did not participate in the autumn outing, had two more days off out of thin air.

He Xidong had been asking her a few days earlier if she wanted to go where to play, and he took her there.

He Wei hesitated.

She wanted to go out for a walk, but after coming into this world, she hadn't gone out much, and she had shuttled from strange to familiar in a few streets and alleys.

But she wanted to hurry up and finish the embroidery of the Guanyin statue at hand, and was struggling, He's father's hometown asked someone to come to the furniture factory to find them, and learned that the two of them were no longer working in the furniture factory, so they found the Jiangbin community, saying that it was Grandma He's birthday this year, so that their family would go back to have a birthday dinner.

The older generation's birthdays have always been the lunar calendar, and Grandma He's lunar birthday is the first day of October, which is converted to this year's solar calendar, which happens to be November 4th.

Get! There is no need to worry about it now, the whole family has to go back to his hometown in Hejiabu.

Although Hejiabu also belongs to Daqing City, it is still a little far from Qing City, and it takes at least one and a half hours to take the bus, not including the bus ride after getting on and off the bus.

Therefore, the birthday dinner at noon on November 4, the family had to go over at noon on the 3rd at the latest. As a child, it's not good to be like ordinary relatives, step on the meal to arrive, you have to help do some work in advance, right?

"But isn't Grandma only sixty-seven this year? Why do you want to have a big birthday? He Xidong was puzzled.

Mother He said with a wry expression: "It is said that since the beginning of this year, your grandmother has been sore here and there, and she has been thinking that she will not be able to last until she is seventy years old, and your uncle simply obeyed her wishes, and this year he gave her a ...... birthday."

"That's!" He Xidong's eyes widened in disbelief: "Does anyone else curse themselves like this?" What if this is 70 years old? Do you have to do it again? ”

"It's all done in advance, why do you have to do it again?" He Mu's face was puzzled.

He Xidong shrugged: "Happy!" I thought I couldn't hold it out, so should I hold a big celebration? ”

He Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud, causing Father He to glare at the two brothers and sisters.

"Why are you staring at the children, Dongzi's words are not unreasonable, maybe that's what your Eminem thinks......" He Mu replied angrily, and finally asked: "How much gift money do you say our family should give?" ”

It's no wonder that Mother He asked this, but it was because Father He's status in Lao He's family was a little embarrassing. Although it is Grandma He's biological son, Grandma He gave birth to three sons in five consecutive years, and she didn't love this little son who hurt her all night during childbirth.

When Father He was thirteen years old, he followed Grandpa He's cousin to the city to learn the craft, and the one who had no children and no daughters under his knees regarded him as a stepson. At that time, the life of Lao He's family was indeed not good, Grandma He did not explicitly approve of this, but she did not say that she was against it, and she also accepted the succession gift from the other party, which by a certain definition, can be regarded as a disguised recognition of the fact of adoption.

Who knows, Father He has been in the city for less than three years, and his cousin, who is like his own son, died of lung cancer, and his aunt, who was too sad, also went with him in less than half a year. At that time, he had already learned how to do woodwork, and through the help of his cousin, he entered the furniture factory known as the "iron rice bowl" at that time.

After finishing the aftermath of his uncle and aunt, Grandpa He and Grandma He brought him home, saying that they would still be members of the old He family in the future, so don't say anything about what is too much. In this way, after leaving home for three years, He's father returned to the He family, but it feels like there are more layers of estrangement.

In addition, the two elder brothers in his hometown, who went to the sea to do business in the early years, were the first to make a fortune in the village. Gradually, the family went back less often, and now they also make some rituals on Qingming and Chinese New Year's Eve to go to the grave and pay respects to the New Year.

"Just go with the flow." After a moment of silence, Father He raised his head and continued.

"Last time my father-in-law had a birthday, he sent 660 yuan with the flow of the village, and the words of your eldest brother and sister-in-law are ugly, I still remember them clearly when I am here."

Mother He pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, got up and went into the kitchen to arrange dinner.

He Wei was afraid that Mother He would secretly wipe her tears behind their backs, so she hurriedly followed up to help.

said to be a help, nothing more than washing a few cabbage plants. Mother He will never let her touch the chopping board, why? There's a kitchen knife on the cutting board.

"Mom, Dad said to follow the crowd and follow the crowd, and don't care what others do so much. Hengzhi is to have a meal, and after eating, he comes back, his face is ugly, his mouth is ugly, it has nothing to do with us, and we don't ask them for anything. ”

He Wei persuaded He Mu while washing vegetables.

Mother He was taking the pickled pomfret from the salt tank, which was bought by an acquaintance when he passed by the fishing ground when he came back from the dock yesterday, in addition to this big pomfret weighing a pound, there were also two pike crabs, which were eaten by the family after steaming last night.

Since He Wei was discharged from the hospital, the two of them have begun to pay attention to their diet. Save is saving, and if you should make up for the two children, you don't dare to leave it behind. After all, it is the period of growth and development, and if you really suffer from malnutrition, anemia and calcium deficiency, it is not only a problem that can be solved by a few fish and a few pieces of meat in the future.

Hearing her daughter say this, Mother He's movements paused, yes, isn't it just to go over and have a meal, no matter what they do so much! Quan went to the restaurant next time, and paid for a big meal by himself, but it was just a little farther away.

Thinking about it like this, He's mother was in a much better mood, and while steaming fish in the pot, she said: "You are forgetful, last time He Meiqin bullied you to cry, and came back and said that you will never go to Hejiabu again, so soon you forgot it?" ”

He Wei's face was embarrassed, and she didn't dare to say more.
