Huai En returned my clothes the next morning.

I was pumping four tires in the yard with a pump when Huaien arrived, which I had bought early in the morning when I went to the town's auto repair shop. I figured out how to put a few tires on either side of my canoe and probably wouldn't flip over.

Huai En handed me my clothes, she seemed to have forgotten yesterday's embarrassment, and showed her cute little tiger teeth to me: "Uncle, thank you yesterday, give, your clothes!" ”

She probably re-washed the clothes again, because I smelled a faint fragrance on them, and I was never in the habit of adding spices to my clothes.

I was just about to reach out and take it, but Huai'en's hand retracted again, she looked at my hand and said, "Uncle, your hands are too dirty, let me help you put them back in the house!" After saying that, he smiled at me, turned and went into the house.

It's just that when she came out, her expression changed, and she stood at the door and asked me with a strange expression: "Uncle, where are my clothes?" ”

I smiled to myself, thinking that you girl has such a big heart, and now I think of your clothes.

I pouted at the courtyard wall on the west side of the wall, and Huai En followed my gesture and looked over, and his white face turned red!

On a rope by the courtyard wall hung a few of my freshly washed clothes, and her long dress and two other pieces of gear were also hanging on it.

When I saw Huai'en when I was doing laundry this morning, I didn't plan to help her wash her clothes, after all, she was a girl who had nothing to do with me, and a girl's underwear was something that a man could touch at will.

But I don't know when she will come to pick up her clothes, and I have been maintaining a tidy lifestyle since I came out of prison, and I always feel a little uncomfortable leaving a few dirty clothes unwashed.

Thinking that she had been calling me uncle, probably because she regarded me as an elder, she probably didn't think there was anything wrong with my behavior, so she washed her clothes together.

"Uncle, you...... How do you ......" Huai En was ashamed and embarrassed, but he didn't know how to say it, so he stopped stiffly after only saying a few words, and stomped his feet.

I saw that her face was as shy as a monkey's ass, and I was embarrassed to make fun of her again, so I continued to lower my head and hit my tires as if nothing happened.

"I'll do the laundry for you in the morning, and you can take it back when it's dry!" I looked down and deliberately didn't look at her, and said in the most normal tone.

Huai En did not reply to my words, but remained silent for a long time.

I was curious, and looked up at her, only to realize that she had been looking at me, but the moment I looked up, she lowered her head in a little panic.

"What? You're not going back? Don't you have a class today? I knew she was still embarrassed about the clothes, and she asked as she retracted her gaze as she was busy with the work at hand.

"Not in the morning, in the afternoon, only in the afternoon!" Her voice was still a little unnatural.

"Then your teacher is really easy, there are not a few classes a week, are you a teacher because of your relationship?" I saw that she still couldn't let go, and said jokingly.

She was really brought out of the emotional environment just now by my words, and immediately protested: "Who entrusted the relationship!" I'm a top student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts! Do you still use a trust relationship for an art class in elementary school? I can't even be invited by other schools! If it weren't for the poverty alleviation, I wouldn't have come! ”

She said with a slightly uneven face, as if she had forgotten the embarrassment just now.

I didn't mean to say this, but listening to her made me a little curious, with her innocent character

However, she doesn't tell lies, and I've seen her paintings, so there's no doubt about her skills. So why did she come here to be an art teacher in an elementary school? She said that it was poverty alleviation, but I was afraid that this reason was not sufficient.

"Miss Huaien, can you tell me why you came here to be an art teacher in an elementary school?" I immediately asked the question in my mind.

"Didn't you say it, in order to alleviate poverty, I will treat it as a volunteer teacher!" She walked up to me, crouched down next to me, watched me, and said casually as I worked.

"Didn't you have any other jobs before this?" I asked.

"No, I only graduated last year, and after graduation, I traveled around alone, no, I traveled to Tibet and met you!" She rolled her eyelids up, looked at me with her big eyes, and replied.

"Then why did you come here to teach again?"

"What's so strange about this, I'm idle anyway, I'm here when I see the recruitment information sent by the principal!" Her tone was casual, as if it were taken for granted and nothing strange about it.

"Then you can't teach here all the time, then the country won't train you, a top student of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, in vain!" I asked the question in my heart in a joking tone.

Huai En held his face with his hand and said a little absent-mindedly: "Originally, my father wanted me to study in the United States, but the school over there has not yet been decided, and I don't really want to go, so I came here!" ”

Only then did I realize that it seemed that she had only come here to teach on a whim, and she would probably be gone soon, and she was indeed not suitable to stay in this small place, which could only bury her.

"Why don't you want to go?" I asked.

"If you don't want to go, you don't want to go, what's the reason, a person is a stranger in a foreign country, how pitiful, I don't want to go!" She pouted.

"Your father is also good for you, if you don't go, won't you disobey his expectations of you!"

"Of course I know he's good to me, and I don't want to disobey him, so I can only pray that the school over there won't accept me!" A sly smile appeared on her face as she said this. "You say that if I write about me as a bad girl in my profile, or write something attacking the United States, will they reject me?" She seemed to suddenly be interested and looked at me with interest.

I sneered, glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to go, just talk to your father, you think you can write the information how you want?" It's all about going through your notarization at the university in China! ”

Huai En was immediately deflated when he heard this, sighed and lowered his eyelids in frustration.

"Don't talk about this, uncle, what are you doing here?" Huai En probably didn't want to be bothered by this matter, so he immediately changed the topic and pointed to the four tires that I had already inflated.

"Steady my canoe!"

Huai En's drooping eyelids instantly rose when he heard this, and his eyes shone again.

"Uncle, let's go now, I'll help you get it!" She looked at me with a wistful look in her eyes, and could tell that she was also interested in my canoe.

I glared at her and said angrily, "You didn't drink enough sea water yesterday, did you?" Want to try it again? ”

Huai En stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Uncle, aren't you improving, it shouldn't capsize, let's go, let's try it now!" As he spoke, he picked up two tires and urged.

I looked at her childlike innocent appearance and smiled bitterly, my heart was really good, the scar forgot the pain, as if I had forgotten that I was still asking if I would die yesterday, and today I was eager to try again.

shook her head helplessly, it seems that she will not be willing to let her enjoy it again. As she wished, she picked up two other tires and the rope she had prepared and went out.

I fixed the four tires on each side of the canoe and added a layer of bricks in the cabin to increase the draught of the canoe to stabilize the hull.

With yesterday's lesson, the improved Wind and Wave Riding has really stabilized a lot, and even when there is wind, it can still float steadily on the sea.

Yesterday's accident didn't have any psychological impact on her, and I jumped into the canoe before I was ready.

When the canoe paddled into the deep water, still steady in the waves no less than yesterday, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Huai En was even more excited, holding the oar and paddling in the water.

"Uncle, we succeeded!" Huai En rowed the canoe to the center of the bay and shouted to me excitedly, the sea breeze blowing her hair up and making her look like she was full of life.

I looked at Huai En, who was excited, and couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle, from now on, I will be the captain of the Wind and Waves, how about you being my co-captain?" She waved her hands with her teeth and claws, as if she had found some treasure.

"Okay, I'll be Miss Huaien's first mate from now on!" I laughed.

"First mate? It turns out that the deputy captain is called the first officer! Sounds amazing! Huaien was happy like an innocent child, with a fascinated expression, as if we were really going to explore the unknown world.

We had been floating on the sea until noon this morning, and although the autumn sun was still shining, it was cool with the sea breeze. I took the fishing nets that were placed on the bamboo raft and put them down in the bay to catch fish, while Huai En was in charge of rowing, and whenever I collected the nets, Huai En would be excited to help me catch fish from the nets. Looking at her happy appearance, I think this is just an experience she has never had.

At noon, Huai En and I carried a net of fish and shrimp, and returned to my yard with satisfaction, I personally cooked with the fish and shrimp that had just been caught and made two dishes that I was best at, please Huai En tasted, Huai En needless to say, very face-saving, two dishes were eaten by the two of us with rice, Huai En was still unfinished with what to say, what is it, what is it, and said to me: "Uncle, can I still eat the dishes you make in the future?" ”

I saw her gluttonous appearance and smiled silently, to be honest, I actually didn't want to have too much contact with her, one is that I still prefer a lonely life alone, I don't want to change anything, and the other is that I am worried that there will be another situation that I can't predict, and that uncontrollable feeling makes me feel terrified, even though she keeps calling me uncle and always regards me as an elder!

"Okay, uncle?" Seeing that I just smiled and didn't answer, Huai En looked at me coquettishly with a begging look.

I sighed, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, if you want to eat seafood, come to me, I'll make it for you!" "But I prayed in my heart that I would not be afraid of any more situations!

Seeing that I finally agreed, Huai En immediately showed excitement, and got up to say goodbye: "Uncle, I have classes in the afternoon, I'll go back to school first!" "I wanted to leave, but I stopped me.

"Bring your clothes back, and let me send you to school?" I glanced at her and said angrily.

Huai'en's face was slightly red, and he glanced at me shyly, walked quickly to the wall, wrapped two underwear in skirts, and ran out of the yard quickly.
