Chapter 43: The Butterfly Effect
Of course, the Fang family didn't know about these things, and the only one who knew Zhao Qi's specific information was Fang Tian, who had locked herself in a cabin for several days in a row, and she had been to Zhao Qi's house.
When the Fang family shook their heads and said that they didn't know much, those who were full of expectations darkened their faces and said that they didn't want to say it, their family also had a daughter, and they wanted to marry Fang Tian to Zhao Qi, and if they didn't tell others the specific information about Zhao Qi, they were afraid that Fang Tian would not be able to hook Zhao Qi's heart.
Gradually, the words spread in the village more and more unpleasantly, and some people even entangled the matter of Fang Tian and Zhao Wenxuan with this matter, secretly sneering.
The more Zhao Xiuqin listened, the more annoyed she became, and she almost rushed out of the door to scold others, but fortunately, Father Fang stopped her.
Fang Tian, who was addicted to perfume preparation, didn't know those things, and as soon as he closed the door of the newly repaired cabin, it was a small world, and it had no connection with the outside world.
The people of the Fang family were afraid that Fang Tian would be distracted, so they rarely talked about things outside, and only occasionally asked about Zhao Qi.
Whenever she talked about these, Fang Tian waved her hand and said that she really didn't know anything about Zhao Qi, and now she was thinking about the preparation of perfumes, how could she have the heart to inquire about Zhao Qi's personal affairs, and gradually Zhao Qi was no longer mentioned at the local dinner table.
Things happened one day, that day Fang's father and Fang Gang both went out to work, and Zhao Xiuqin was not allowed to go out because of a distant relative's matter, so only Lin Xiao and Fang Tian were left at home.
After Fang Tian had lunch, he locked himself in the cabin and didn't come out again, and the heavy responsibility of seeing it fell on Lin Xiao alone.
In the past few days, Fang Tian has been so busy that he doesn't even have time to take care of the flower garden, so Lin Xiao took over this task, watering and catching insects every day, and squatting in the flower bed to observe those flowers when he has nothing to do.
There are only orchids planted in Orchid Village, and the others are inconspicuous wildflowers and weeds, so Lin Xiao doesn't feel bored to stay in the flower garden all day while watching the flowers.
Suddenly, someone stepped on the country road and walked slowly towards Fang's house.
Lin Xiao squatted in the flower garden to observe the appearance of the flowers falling into her eyes, she smiled and opened her mouth softly: "Little friend, are you from this family?" ”
Lin Xiao heard the voice, looked up, and saw a girl pushing open the door and walking in.
She was wearing a pink dress, with light makeup on her face, a gentle smile on her eyebrows, and a small basket full of flowers in her hand.
Looking at her clothes, it seems that the conditions at home are good, and she looks delicate and gentle, in Lin Xiao's eyes, she is a little worse than Fang Tian.
Lin Xiao looked at her in a trance, subconsciously wanted to shake her head, and suddenly remembered Zhao Xiuqin's words.
"Since there is no one in your family, you have entered the door of our family, and you will be a member of our family in the future, and you will have food at home, and you will have no good wine and meat, and food and clothing can still be given to you! In the future, whenever someone asks you whose child you are, you will stand up and say that you are from our family, understand? ”
At that time, the boy nodded, so moved that he almost burst into tears.
"I'm from this family!"
When Lin Xiao said this, he raised his voice and straightened his waist, there was clearly no momentum in the immature child, but when he raised his voice and said this, no one dared to underestimate him.
The woman who stepped into the door looked slightly stunned, smiled and nodded.
Her name is Ah Wan, and she is also from this village, and she usually has little contact with the Fang family, but if she counts several generations, she can calculate that their family is of the same clan as the Fang family, and it is precisely because of this relationship that she dares to directly open the door of the Fang family.
"My name is Awan, and I'm coming to my cousin."
There is no doubt that the only female baby in the Fang family is Fang Tian, and the cousin she is talking about is of course Fang Tian.
Not long after Lin Xiao came, the three aunts and seven aunts of the Fang family hadn't had time to figure it out, and when they heard Awan report that she was Fang Tian's cousin, she hurriedly jumped up from the ground, looking a little panicked: "No one in the family is here, my sister is in the house, I'll help you call!"
Ah Wan nodded, with a gentle smile on her face, but when Lin Xiao turned to find Fang Tian, there was a trace of disgust on her face.
Their family is rich in the village, and the family has made a small business in the town, making a lot of money, and moved to the town a few years ago. She has grown up in the town since she was a child, and she has always hated the muddy roads in the countryside, and she is reluctant to come back to visit her relatives during the New Year's holidays.
Ah Wan half-lowered her face, raised her hand and gently stroked her sideburns, her expression was a little dazed. She was thinking about the strange man she bumped into when she happened to walk around the village a few days ago, compared to the vulgar man in the village, he looked so good-looking and special, when Awan saw him for the first time, she couldn't help but beat her heart.
Awan is good-looking, her family conditions are also good, she has two older brothers at home, and her parents usually spoil her, so she has developed her squeamish and arrogant character. When she was married, the threshold of the family was about to be broken by the matchmaker, and she thought she was the number one beauty in the town, so when she saw Zhao Qi on the side of the road that day, she didn't come forward to talk to her even if she was moved.
She thought that Zhao Qi would look at her sideways like the beautiful story depicted in the script, and then fall in love at first sight, otherwise she would be amazed by her beauty like other men who admired her.
So that day she stood on the side of the road and waited for a long time, smiling with her chin held high.
The storyline arranged in his mind didn't happen, and Zhao Qi didn't even give her a look, and walked directly in front of her, as if he didn't see her at all.
Ah Wan couldn't help but be annoyed, and after inquiring about it, she learned that Zhao Qi had come to find Fang Tian.
Ah Wan was not impressed by her nominal cousin, she only knew that she was not as good as herself, and her family background was not as good as herself, and she heard that there was a scandal a few days ago, so she didn't feel that Fang Tian was any threat to her, so she came to Fang's house to inquire arrogantly.
When Lin Xiao knocked on the door of the wooden house, Fang Tian was struggling with the proportion of perfume, she had been troubled by this matter for a long time.
"Eight percent essential oils, 15 percent alcohol, and five percent water?" Fang Tian found pen and ink to smear on rice paper, and after thinking about it, he always felt that this ratio did not seem to be right.
The sudden knock on the door startled Fang Tian, and a drop of ink splashed with a pen in his hand, and a presumptuous flower bloomed on the rice paper.
Before Fang Tian could respond, Lin Xiao directly pushed the door in.
Since the last time Fang Tian locked herself in the cabin for a whole day because of the refining of orchid essential oil, which caused a false alarm in the Fang family, Zhao Xiuqin strictly ordered her to close the door and think about her perfume business, not to lock it.
Therefore, after Lin Xiao shouted that she didn't receive a response, she pushed the door directly and entered.
Fang Tian turned his eyes to look at him and asked puzzledly, "What happened?" ”
Lin Xiao and Fang Tian stuck together the most, Fang Tian knew his temper best, if it wasn't for a big thing, he wouldn't have bothered him at all, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered.
Something must have happened, right?
Although Lin Xiao looked anxious, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and it didn't seem like something big had happened.
"There is a very good-looking sister outside, saying that her name is Ah Wan, and she is your cousin!"
Since Lin Xiao came to Fang's house, he had never seen that young lady of the same age come to talk to Fang Tian, so he thought that Fang Tian had a withdrawn personality, and today he suddenly saw a beautiful young lady visiting, and she also claimed to be Fang Tian's relative, of course he was happy for Fang Tian!
Although he has to think about doing business, it is not good to always be alone in the cabin, it will hurt his body, Lin Xiao has long had an opinion on Fang Tian's behavior.
"Sister, that Sister Awan is still carrying a small basket in her hand, and there are a lot of flowers in the basket, do you want to meet her?"
Fang Tian's heart moved, took Lin Xiao's hand and walked out the door.
At first, Fang Tian didn't mean to go out to see Ah Wan, just because Ah Wan was a person, and he didn't have a good impression in his memories.
Although the two families are relatives, they rarely have contact, and Ah Wan does not have much weight in the memory of the original owner, and what is even more surprising is that she occupies almost all bad things.
The original owner didn't like this man.
Although the original owner likes the wrong scumbag, her tutor is good, her three views are not crooked, and as long as her eyes have nothing to do with Zhao Wenxuan, she almost never makes a mistake, so Fang Tian's impression of Awan is very bad, and she doesn't even want to see her.
If it weren't for Lin Xiao saying that she was carrying a basket in her hand, Fang Tian wouldn't even be able to leave the wooden house.
When Lin Xiao ran to invite Fang Tian, she went straight into the living room and didn't pour tea for herself, not only because the tea was cold, but also because she felt that the Fang family was so poor, there must be no good tea at home.
Seeing Fang Tian stepping into the door, Ah Wan greeted him, as if Fang Tian was the guest of this family, this realization made Fang Tian feel a little uncomfortable.
"Cousin, we haven't seen each other in a long time." Ah Wan forcibly endured her dislike of Fang Tian's old clothes, hugged her arm and said softly.
Fang Tian's face was not very good-looking, and he subconsciously pulled his arm out of Ah Wan's hand.
If it weren't for the sake of the flower basket she brought, Fang Tian felt that he could have behaved even more rudely.
A hint of anger flashed on Ah Wan's face, and she wanted to lose her temper at Fang Tian, but when she remembered the handsome son she saw that day, she suppressed her rising anger again, and still had a smile on her face, as if she was not angry at all: "Cousin, do you remember me, I lived in the house on the right side of the village when I was a child, and we used to play together when we were children, do you remember?" ”
As if he was afraid that Fang Tian would not give face directly, Ah Wan also reported her name: "My name is Ah Wan, counting the relationship between our two families, I should call you cousin." ”
Fang Tian agreed indifferently, his eyes fell on the flower basket on the table: "I still remember you, we played together when we were children, but after your family moved to this town, we never met again, and then there was no contact." ”
Ah Wan sneered: "Isn't it that the two families are far apart, and it is difficult to move around." ”
Fang Tian silently rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking to himself that it was not easy to move around from the distance, the town was not far from the village, and the reason why there was no contact was just that their family hated the poor and loved the rich, and they were afraid that the Fang family would ask them for money.
"The weather was good today, so I took advantage of the good weather to go to the valley and pick some flowers. When I passed by the village, I remembered that my cousin you have loved flowers since you were a child, and it was useless for me to take them home with them, so I thought about taking a detour to give you flowers and see how you were doing. ”
Ah Wan said, her eyes staring at Fang Tian, and her smile was a little fake: "I haven't seen you for so many years, cousin, you are getting better and better-looking." ”
Ordinary people are praised like this, they must smile and go back politely, but Fang Tian is different, although the smile is a smile, but what she said is: "I also think I am good-looking, thank you sister for the praise." ”
