Liu Jiahua spent twenty-four hours in a tangled and uneasy state of mind.

She tossed and turned at night, and her state in the first half of the day was worse than at night, she was under the dark circles brought by staying up late, her movements were very slow, and she was scolded by the workshop director seven or eight times just for the wiring head.

Director Hong from the textile factory workshop called her to the office and directly reprimanded, "Xiaoliu, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Liu Jiahua sighed and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well yesterday, and I'm a little dazed today." ”

Director Hong also heard some rumors and was more sympathetic to her, "Xiaoliu, family affairs are family affairs, don't bring your emotions to work, understand?" ”

Liu Jiahua nodded.

"If you don't take it as an example, forget it today." Director Hong picked up the tea jar, which meant that she could leave.

Liu Jiahua was interested, thanked the director, turned around and returned to the textile workshop full of cotton wool to continue to work.

After getting off work, Liu Jiahua rode his bicycle home as fast as he could, and not long after entering the door, Wei Dali came to the door with gifts.

Liu Jiahua, who heard the movement, chopped the knife on the board, rubbed a handful of oily hands with a rag, and got out of the kitchen.

She had imagined a scene in her mind for the night, but it did not appear in front of her.

There was only Wei Dali alone in front of him, standing in front of the door with a few gift boxes.

Liu Jiahua was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What about your wife and children?" ”

Director Wei's expression was very wrong, and he looked at Liu Jiahua with embarrassment and unease.

Liu San didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly stepped forward to play the round, "Dad, you can greet Director Wei." ”

Daddy Liu also learned about the cause and effect from Aunt Liu, and it was not easy to say that his sister was ignorant, so he could only pretend not to hear it, and warmly welcomed Director Wei into the living room and brought him tea and water.

"Come on, Director Wei, I'm really sorry, I was busy in the factory yesterday and didn't go home. I just heard in the evening that you came over yesterday. I also helped Liu San get so many things, it's really troublesome for you! ”

Daddy Liu said, handing the teacup to Director Wei's hand.

Seeing that Director Wei was already chatting with his father, Liu San lifted the curtain of the kitchen door and went in.

"Second aunt, don't ask Director Wei this question again, look at how embarrassed he is." Liu San sighed, he couldn't really complain about Liu Jiahua, but the scene just now made Liu San feel unhappy.

"Why can't you ask?" Liu Jiahua was not angry in his heart, and he didn't come for Liu San. It's just that she is unbalanced in her heart, and she is not angry yet? What is he embarrassed about Wei Dali, a negative man?

Liu San saw that the second aunt wanted to know, so he could only attach it to her ear and tell her about Wei Dali's recent situation.

"Our Director Wei has never been married, and we have no wife and children. I also found out this afternoon. I said that I would invite his family to come to my house for dinner, and Director Wei's face was not good-looking. ”

Liu Jiahua was shocked, his face was full of disdain, "What? Then because he is not married, his face is not good-looking, so hypocritical! ”

"It's not because of this, Director Wei told me that he had a partner when he was young, and the two of them loved each other very much. But he went to join the army, and the object couldn't wait for him, betrayed him and married another man, and I heard that he was still the leader of a factory. Since then, our Director Wei has been stimulated, and he has not found a girlfriend, let alone married. It's almost forty years old. He said he wasn't going to look for it either, so he just made do with it. ”

Liu San's words completely shattered Liu Jiahua's resentment, and the night's tossing and turning and sleepless sleep became a joke at this moment.

What Liu Jiahua couldn't understand was why he received a letter from Wei Dali, which clearly said that he should not wait for him, he had already established a relationship with the leader's daughter, and he would get married in the New Year.

So far, although the letter has turned into a wisp of green smoke and gone away with the wind, the content of the letter is vivid, and Liu Jiahua still remembers the position of each punctuation mark.

Just as he was about to fry the crispy pork, Liu Jiahua reached out to probe the oil temperature.

With a "bang", a drop of water splashed into the oil pot, and the oil splashed everywhere.

"Second aunt! Your hand. Liu San watched as a large lump of oil flowers smashed on the back of Liu Jiahua's hand, and in an instant, the back of Liu Jiahua's hand was already red.

Hearing this, Wei Dali was the first to rush into the kitchen and determined the location of the burn, Wei Dali grabbed Liu Jiahua's hand and pressed it under the faucet, a burst of coldness covered the wound, and the redness and swelling disappeared visibly.

At this time, the pain on the back of his hand was already gone, Liu Jiahua looked at Wei Dali beside him, and his heart was distressed as if he had thrown it into the oil pot in front of him and fried it repeatedly.

"For scalding, it should be rinsed under flowing water for the first time to cool down, the first is to relieve pain, and the second is to prevent secondary injury." Wei Dali seriously explained the reason why he did this.

"I, I'll come by myself, thank you." Liu Jiahua was suddenly afraid of being recognized by Wei Dali, tilted his head, and broke free of his hand.

Wei Dali saw that the redness and swelling on her hands had disappeared, so he returned to the living room with confidence. Before leaving, he said, "Keep rushing until the skin temperature drops completely."

Seeing that it was a false alarm, Daddy Liu also sat back on the sofa with Director Wei, and poured another cup of tea for Director Wei with a smile, "Director Wei, you still know this, I really can't see it." ”

"I used to be a soldier, and I helped in the health team, and I learned a little about dealing with wounds and stuff."

After speaking, Wei Dali glanced into the kitchen again, and it was not until Liu San's mother walked in with the scald ointment that Wei Dali withdrew his gaze.

After rushing at the head of the water for more than ten minutes, Liu Jiahua felt that his hands were numb, so he turned off the faucet.

Aunt Liu took a clean handkerchief and wiped the water stains on Liu Jiahua's hands, "Come, clean your sister-in-law and give you medicine, and then you go back to rest, sister-in-law cooks." ”

"Sister-in-law!" Liu Jiahua's eyes were red, and he was so aggrieved that he almost didn't cry.

Aunt Liu was busy leading Liu Jiahua into the house, pressed Liu Jiahua to the edge of the bed and sat down, dragged her hand and blew gently, "Come, sister-in-law will rub the medicine for you, you bear with it, and squeak when it hurts." ”

Watching Aunt Liu dip a cotton swab in ointment and rub herself little by little, Liu Jiahua's mental defense gradually relaxed, and she felt that she could face the past more than ten years ago.

"Sister-in-law, in fact, I broke up with Wei Dali back then because I received a letter."

Aunt Liu's hand froze, looked up at Liu Jiahua and asked, "What kind of letter?" ”

Liu Jiahua bit his lower lip and made the final struggle in his heart, "A breakup letter written by him himself, I burned it after reading it, but until now, every word in the letter is engraved in my heart." ”

Aunt Liu's heart ached faintly, she sat on the pony and continued to rub the medicine on Liu Jiahua, Liu Jiahua's hand trembled slightly, but she didn't take her hand back.

"Liu San told me just now that Wei Dali has never been married, and said that I betrayed him back then. I think this is very suspicious, and it is likely that the breakup letter was forged by his family. Because his family has always looked down on me and has always objected to me being with him. ”

After taking the medicine, Aunt Liu put the ointment into the cabinet. She looked out the window through the glass, and at this time, Director Wei had already rolled up his cuffs and tied his apron, ready to go down to the kitchen to cook himself.

Turning around, she glanced at the lonely Liu Jiahua and sighed softly, "You are really destined." If you had married Director Wei back then, you should be happy now. Can you still make such a fuss? ”
