Chapter 658: Pride and Prejudice
The moon in the north is very cold, and Xiao Jing, like all the vendors in the market, wraps herself tightly. She was wearing a thick cotton coat, a hat on her head, and a scarf wrapped around the hat, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and a layer of hoarfrost hung on her eyelashes, so that she couldn't see what she looked like at all.
Seeing that the little girl was frozen like a snowman, Han Mingxiu secretly gave birth to some praise in her heart.
In these years, there are not many girls who are willing to endure hardships like this, and the strength to endure hardships for this girl is enough to prove that the chaotic vision is good and she has not seen the wrong person.
This girl is really a good one.
Xiao Jing seemed to be a little sluggish in her thinking, and after Han Mingxiu asked the price, it took her a long time to react before she replied: "One piece...... Two cents and five pounds ......"
When she answered, her teeth seemed to be a little warp, and her nerves should have been frozen.
Han Mingxiu smiled and said kindly, "How many crabs do you have?" I want to wrap up the rounds. ”
When Xiao Jing heard that Han Mingxiu wanted to wrap up Yuan'er, her eyes lit up, her spirit was also lifted, and her speech was much smoother than just now: "Really? There are still more than 20 pounds, comrade, do you really want to wrap up the round? ”
Han Mingxiu nodded and said, "Really! I want it, but there are so many crabs, I can't take them alone, can you help me send them home? Let's take half of each of us. ”
"Yes, where do you live, not far away? If it's not far away, I'll take it for you alone. ”
"It's not far, two stops, let's take the bus back." Han Myung-so reported the address.
Xiao Jing said: "I know there, it's not far from here, I'll take it alone." ”
Han Mingxiu said: "It's better to take half of one person, otherwise it will be seen by someone (chaos), and it should be said that I have exploited the working people, and I can't afford this crime......"
Xiao Jing smiled lightly and said, "Okay, then I'll finish weighing, and we'll take half of the ...... each."
This half basket of crabs is a little more than twenty-six pounds in total, and after weighing it, Xiao Jing divided the twenty-six pounds of crabs into two flower baskets. When calculating the money, Xiao Jing, a crab of more than twenty-six pounds, was twenty-six pounds, a total of thirty-two yuan and five cents, and Xiao Jing also wiped the five cents and only collected thirty-two yuan.
After paying the money, Han Mingxiu and Xiao Jing carried a flower basket on their backs, and Xiao Jing put the scale, a bundle of net bags and a small stool in the flower basket she was carrying, and walked out of the market with Han Mingxiu.
The two of them walked to the bus stop together, and the big chaos sneaked after them, and got on the bus with them, only one in the front, one in the back, one in the light, and one in the dark......
Along the way, Han Mingxiu kept chatting with Xiao Jing. Through communication, Han Mingxiu found that Xiao Jing is a girl who talks decently, thinks clearly, is elegant and delicate, and is neither humble nor arrogant.
Even for a big customer like Han Mingxiu, she didn't show the slightest flattery and stammering, and her words and deeds were very decent, so that Han Mingxiu had to look at her with admiration.
When she arrived at Uncle Gao's house, Xiao Jing took off the flower basket on her back, and Han Mingxiu asked her aunt to pour out the crabs in the two flowers and make two cups of hot tea by the way.
Xiao Jing must have been frozen after standing outside for a day, and Han Mingxiu wanted to invite her to a cup of hot tea and tell her to warm up.
When drinking tea, Xiao Jing took off the scarf wrapped around her head, took off her hat, and revealed her beautiful face.
This child is very delicate and elegant, although it is not the delicate and beautiful beauty of Han Mingxiu, but it is also very good-looking.
Her facial features are not prominent anywhere, but when combined, they are very comfortable and clean, and there is a feeling of being as light as a chrysanthemum at a glance.
The posture is graceful, elegant as a chrysanthemum, and when you sit down, your back is straight, and your legs are together. When drinking tea, I took a small sip of the product, and I didn't drink it because I was thirsty and cold.
This girl, who is elegant and calm in her gestures, reveals a good upbringing, not at all like the daughter of a vegetable vendor, but very much like the daughter of a scholarly family in the past.
Han Mingxiu looked at her while secretly feeling anxious about the chaos.
Speaking from the heart, such an excellent girl, the chaos is really not worthy of others.
Although the chaos is good-hearted, there is nothing to deal with, compared with Xiao Jing, the two of them are 108,000 miles apart.
It's just that everyone has the psychology of protecting their shortcomings, that is, they know that the chaos is not worthy of others, and Han Mingxiu still hopes to give it a try as much as possible.
Anyway, Chaos is her brother, and he still hopes that Chaos can get the happiness he expects.
Moreover, the chaos was watched by her growing up, although this child is uncertain, but his character is still certain, and he is definitely a child with three views. If Xiao Jing really got together with the chaos, she wouldn't be like-minded, and the chaos would never make her suffer a little grievance......
While drinking tea, Xiao Jing accidentally caught a glimpse of an English version of "Pride and Prejudice" on the coffee table, so she smiled and said, "Did you read this book?" Coincidentally, I love this book too. ”
Han Myung-so said: "People who like this book are generally romantic lesbians who dream of meeting a Darcy of their own like Elizabeth. ”
Xiao Jing's face flushed slightly, and she seemed a little embarrassed, but she still said calmly: "Yes, what girl wouldn't want to marry an excellent boy?" ”
Hearing this, Han Mingxiu silently lit a row of candles in his heart for the chaos.
The gap between the Great Chaos and Mr. Darcy is not only the spiritual and material gap, but also the gap in appearance and cultivation.
It can be said that there is a world of difference between the two, if the boy Xiao Jing likes is Mr. Darcy's, it is estimated that there will be no drama in this life......
The two talked about some reading experiences together, and Han Mingxiu found that Xiao Jing read a lot of books, and when she talked about it, she had a kind of poetry and bookish atmosphere.
In order to facilitate communication and contact, and also to create an opportunity for chaos, Han Mingxiu took the initiative to propose that if Xiao Jing likes to read any books, he can borrow them from her at any time.
The family has a large study room, and there are hundreds of books in the study, all of which were bought by Han Mingxiu.
In fact, there used to be thousands of books in the study room at home, but in that movement, they were all burned by patriotic students.
After Uncle Gao came back from rehabilitation, because his eyes were not very good, and he didn't like to read very much, this study gradually became Han Mingxiu's special study, and the books in it were all slowly added by Han Mingxiu.
Han Mingxiu took Xiao Jing to the study, and when Xiao Jing saw the books in Han Mingxiu's study, of course she liked it very much.
She loves to read books very much, but she doesn't have the money to buy them, and she is very grateful to see that Han Mingxiu has so many books and promises to read them casually.
So, I picked out a copy of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and a copy of "Sister Carrie" on Han Mingxiu's bookshelf, and said goodbye and went home with joy.
After Xiao Jing left, Aunt Gao said worriedly: "Xiu'er, why do you buy so many crabs?" When will these old crabs be eaten? ”
Han Mingxiu said: "Auntie, if you can't finish eating, you can take it and give it away, in the future, if you go around with your old friends, you will send crabs, and I will come out of the crabs." ”
"Yo, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" Mrs. Gao was very puzzled by this.
Han Mingxiu smiled bitterly and said, "Good medicine for short-term protection......
……
Xiao Jing came out of Uncle Gao's house, and didn't go far when she suddenly met Wang Yingming, the crab dealer who gave them crabs.
Seeing Wang Yingming, Xiao Jing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This man, who used to be the most unkempt and unhygienic, has only been working for a short time, and he seems to have changed as if he had changed, dressed neatly and neatly, and looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.
However, even if it looks more pleasing to the eye than before, Xiao Jing is not happy to meet him.
Although this person is really lively and optimistic, very cheerful and kind, he also takes care of her and her grandmother, in the past, Xiao Jing was also quite happy to deal with him, but later, she found that this Wang Yingming actually had a love for herself, and she was very fond of it.
Xiao Jing's ideal lover is 108,000 miles away from Wang Yingming, and of course he will not accept his feelings.
So, a few days ago, when Wang Yingming expressed his heart to her in person, Xiao Jing politely refused.
Since then, Xiao Jing has tried her best to avoid contact with him alone, that is, every time she takes goods from him, she always asks her grandmother to pick them up, and then she sells them, so that she can avoid meeting him as much as possible.
I thought that I could avoid embarrassment by trying not to meet, but I didn't expect to meet here.
Because they are acquaintances of each other, if they don't say hello, it will be too unkind.
Xiao Jing pursed her lips and was about to say hello, but Da Chao had already opened her mouth first: "That...... Really, really, coincidentally, hehe...... Are you sold out? This is to ...... Go home? ”
Xiao Jing nodded and said, "Well......"
"That...... It's getting dark, I ...... I'll send you back......"
While talking to him in a big mess, he secretly pinched his thigh, and scolded himself in his heart for not being angry: It's so useless, I stutter when I see Xiao Jing, people will definitely look down on him when they see him like this!
Xiao Jing said: "No need, my house is not far away, just walk back by yourself." ”
Dachao took a deep breath, his emotions finally calmed down, and said, "Then how can you do it?" You are a little girl, and you still look so ...... Pretty, what if you meet a bad person? ”
"I really don't need to, if the neighbors see a boy sending me back, they will gossip." Xiao Jing's tone was still calm, but there was no smile on her face.
Chaos was rejected, but that's what he expected.
He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "That'...... Then you can go by yourself......"
"Well, goodbye." Xiao Jing carried a flower basket on her back and a flower basket in her hand, and calmly walked over from the chaos.
Dachao looked at the pretty back that was gradually fading away, and suddenly raised his hand and twitched it on his mouth.
This broken mouth will be stuck when it comes to the critical moment, as if it has eaten chicken feathers, why can't it speak smoothly?
Alas, does she think she's really stumbling? You don't look down on yourself because of this, do you?
Also, he was dressed so handsome today, why didn't she take a few more looks? It can't be that it's dark and you can't see clearly, right?
No, tomorrow when it is bright, I need to sway in front of her, let her look at herself more, maybe I will not be so annoying when I see that I am so handsome......
With a chaotic mood, he knocked on Uncle Gao's house.
At this moment, Han Mingxiu is recording, and Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao are watching TV with a few children. Uncle Gao saw that the chaos was coming, so he asked his aunt to take him to the study to find Han Mingxiu.
"Sister, what can I do......" As soon as Dachao saw Han Mingxiu, it was like a wronged child seeing his mother.
"I spent the afternoon on it, and she didn't even look at me, sister, do you think she annoys me so much? Also, I see that she's always avoiding me lately, am I that annoying? ”
Han Mingxiu turned off the tape recorder, turned his head to look at the chaos, and said seriously: "It's really not rare to recruit people......
"Sister, are you poisonous?" The chaos screamed.
Han Mingxiu laughed and said, "I'm kidding you, don't look like a bitter and hateful person, be cheerful, be careful to scare Xiao Jing away." ”
Da Chao sat down on the chair opposite Han Mingxiu, leaned his head on the back of the chair, looked at the ceiling, and said lovelessly: "I feel like I've scared her away, she really doesn't want to see me, alas......"
Han Mingxiu said: "She doesn't want to see you, doesn't she want to see other men?" So, you still have hope, it's just very slim......"
"Sister......" went away in a big mess.
Han Mingxiu hurriedly reassured: "Oh, okay, okay, I won't joke with you, now I'll tell you something serious." ”
Han Mingxiu became serious and said, "Just now I asked Xiao Jing to help me deliver crabs, and then brought her to the house......
Dachao interrupted Han Mingxiu's words and said, "Yes, I saw her, let's go and meet." ”
Han Mingxiu continued: "Through my observation and understanding of her this night, I found out that the two of you are really not the same kind of people. ”
Da Chao rolled his eyes and said, "You still need to say that of course the two of us are not the same kind of people, if it is the same kind of person, can't we chase her so hard?" ”
Han Mingxiu said: "Let's be honest with you, it will be very difficult for you to chase her, and the possibility of catching up with her is very small, because you are not the one she likes at all." ”
"And what does she like? Did she tell you? What do you mean? What are you talking about? ”
The chaotic pair of cat's eyes stared nervously at Han Myung-so, as if a criminal was waiting for the judge to pronounce the sentence.
Han Mingxiu stood up, found a Chinese version of "Pride and Prejudice" on the shelf, threw it in front of the chaos, and said: "In short, what she likes is the male protagonist in this book, to be honest, the difference between that male protagonist and you is really not ordinary, it is simply 108,000 miles." ”
"You go back and take a good look at this book, see how you can make yourself the kind of man she likes, if you think you can rise to that height, try to work harder, if you think it's impossible, give up quickly, lest you hit your head and bleed, and end up hurt."
He got up from his chair in a big hurry and said loudly: "Don't give up, never give up, I won't give up until I die......"
He picked up the book from the table and said cheerfully, "Aren't you just reading?" Okay, I'll see! I'll buy a dictionary later, and I'll look up the dictionary for words I don't know, and I'll eat it today, and I'll have to finish the book. ”
Han Mingxiu said: "Yes, don't eat my book, I still have to read it!" Chaos, let me tell you, after reading this book, it is only the first step in your long march, and the gap between you and Xiaojing is not ordinarily big! If you want to shorten the distance between you, you have to go through an extremely long process, and there is a high risk that your work will not work, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”
He must be vaccinated against the chaos first, lest he fall out of love in the future and be hit too hard, and he can't accept it in his heart.
Dachao put the book under the armpit, turned around and said: "Sister, I know, I'll go home and read now, I have to take a good look, what kind of man is she!" ”
After speaking, he pushed the door and walked out of the door, Han Mingxiu got up and followed him, intending to send him to the gate.
After walking a few steps, Han Mingxiu couldn't help frowning and said, "It's a big mess, can you be more stable in the aisle?" Don't run around! Look at your walking posture, it doesn't match your clothes, it's completely wearing a dragon robe and it doesn't look like the prince's sense of déjà vu! ”
Da Chao turned around, looked at Han Mingxiu with a sad face, and said:
"Sister, do I even have to change the posture of the aisle?"
Han Mingxiu said: "It is a must! Based on my preliminary understanding of Xiao Jing, she is a girl who pays attention to her appearance and demeanor, and her posture in the aisle will definitely not enter the eyes of others. ”
Just now, Han Mingxiu found in contact with Xiao Jing that this little girl's posture when drinking tea is extraordinarily beautiful, even when she walks with a small flower basket on her back, she is not at all like ordinary working people bending over and walking, but straightens her back and walks slowly. Therefore, the way of jumping horses and drilling monkeys like chaos will definitely be unaccustomed to Xiaojing.
"Okay, don't you just walk down the aisle, I'll change it!" Chaos gritted his teeth, turned around again, and walked forward step by step.
When I walked this time, I was really much more stable, and I didn't take a step and jump like I did just now......
That night, when he returned home from the chaos, he locked himself in his room and began to study the book "Pride and Prejudice".
After watching it for more than two hours, the chaos broke down a bit.
Damn, these gringos, what's the ball? A group of men and a group of women, casually hugging and dancing together, how immoral?
Could it be that Xiao Jing actually likes such a man?
It's so fucked up......
The chaos was watching while scolding, especially when he saw the scene about Darcy, and he kept scolding.
Damn, what's so good about this old man, it's just a pretending criminal, it's not good for the heroine at all, how dare you be good to Xiaojing? What does Xiao Jing like about this product?
