Chapter 29: His Maintenance
Originally, Zhao Zhenzhen heard from Huaxi's second aunt Wang Fang that Huaxi took meat and white noodles to Lao Song's house, and she didn't feel good in her heart.
She never expected that Huaxi would issue a receipt for something she bought, and she didn't expect Huaxi to buy the latest candy!
At this time, everyone's eyes shifted to Zhao Zhenzhen. Everyone knows that the last time the old Song family caught fire, it was Hua Xi who debunked her tricks, and the quota recommended by the production team to go to the city as a worker was also announced today, without Zhao Zhenzhen.
If the village wants to say that the person who has an enmity with Huaxi is Zhao Zhenzhen.
The villagers talked a lot, Zhao Zhenzhen's face was red and white, and she covered her face and ran out of the gate of the Song family in shame.
The people in the security department also understood that they had been taken advantage of, so they apologized to Hanaxi in embarrassment, saying that they would investigate clearly, and then they all left in a hurry, and the villagers quickly dispersed.
The courtyard was quiet.
After everyone left, Hanaki squatted on the ground and picked up the candy on the ground one by one.
She obviously didn't speak anymore or complain, but it was inexplicably distressing.
Song Dongquan's heart was not calm, if it weren't for Hua Xi just making things clear by herself, even with his assurance, she would still be regarded as a thief in the eyes of the villagers.
Mother Song, who was standing in the yard, felt guilty.
The thing was not stolen by Huaxi, it was bought by Huaxi, and she personally sent it to her. But she just wronged her. wanted to apologize, but Song Mu was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
Song Dongli was the first to run to Hua Xi's side, and said timidly and quietly: "Sister-in-law, I'll help you pick it up."
Song Dongyue walked over uncomfortably, squatted on the ground and picked up the white noodle bag, and muttered, "Mom, I'm going to eat big steamed buns tomorrow, you can make more for me and my sister-in-law."
Hua Xi picked up the candy and laughed out loud. These two little hairy children are quite comforting.
Mother Song watched the haze on Hua Xi's face dissipate, and she also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went to pick up the noodle bag in her youngest son's hand, and promised with a smile: "Tomorrow Mom will cook more, fry some meat, and invite Grandpa Hua to come to our house to eat."
This is the first time that Mother Song treats her as her own. Although Hua Xi was angry in her heart, in the end, she was once ignorant, and she could understand Song Mu's approach to some extent.
Fortunately, everything is in the past.
Several people cleaned up the things scattered on the ground together, and Song Dongquan also cleaned up the tables and chairs, and the corner of his eyes looked at the fat body squatting on the ground from time to time, and he always felt that her eyes were becoming brighter and more moving.
He was very suspicious of Huaxi, but at that time, he didn't know why, seeing her being questioned, he inexplicably wanted to rush up to defend her.
Maybe this is the relationship between him who went into the city today to see Hua Xi come out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and he knows that it is impossible for her to come back and steal things.
The corner of his eye swept the blisters on Hua Xi's hand, and he frowned unconsciously. What did she do in the afternoon, and how could she get hurt?
……
At night, Song Dongquan and Hua Xi went all the way back to Hua's house.
The two men were silent all the way, and neither of them spoke.
Hanaki felt awkward.
She didn't expect that Song Dongquan would defend her today, she originally planned to have no contact with him for a while, but now it seems that she can't do it for a while.
She has a bad reputation, and when Song Dongquan will be in trouble in the future, she has just arrived, and she can be regarded as understanding the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
What's more, she still wants a divorce.
Hua Xi thought wildly, occasionally scratching her head in annoyance, and didn't notice that her every move fell into the eyes of the man next to her.
Although it was only half past seven, the old man went to bed early.
After the two men entered the room, they prepared to go back to their respective rooms. Song Dongquan lived with Old Man Hua, and was about to open the door to enter, but Hua Xi suddenly stopped him.
"Song Dongquan, wait a minute."
The man looked back, waiting for Hua Xi to speak, his deep gaze made people sink, and Hua Xi avoided it a little uncomfortably.
"It's ten dollars, pay it back to you." Hua Xi took out the money that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Song Dongquan.
"And, thank you."
Not just for him to lend her ten dollars, but also for his maintenance today.
Song Dongquan looked at the money, frowned, and reached out to take the money, "You got the money so quickly?" ”
Hua Xi's heart tightened, and she knew that as long as she repaid the money, Song Dongquan would suspect her, and hurriedly said the prepared statement: "I found a job in the city today and earned some, you hurry up and return the money to Captain Zhao tomorrow, and I won't drag you down anymore."
She didn't want to owe money to Zhao Zhenzhen's family, either directly or indirectly.
Song Dongquan stared at Hua Xi's round face, and said lightly: "I have already gone to return it when I came back just now." ”
He said meaningfully: "If you have an urgent need, you can take it and use it first, and you don't need to return it in a hurry."
Hua Xi hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, I have enough flowers for the time being, thank you for your help."
She still has more than ten yuan left in her hand, and the cost of tomorrow's stall should be enough, and she doesn't want to owe too much favor.
After paying off the debt, Hua Xi was relieved, stretched his waist and walked to his small east house, "You are also tired for a day, hurry up and wash and sleep, good night." ”
Soon, Hua Xi's figure disappeared behind the door curtain.
However, the gentle look on Song Dongquan's face became cold after Hua Xi turned around.
If she really went to work in the city, she would not have bought so many things, and she would not have ten yuan in her hand to pay him back.
But she paid it back.
She said that she found a job, but the wages of the county workers were more than one dollar a day.
It can only be said that her money came from other channels, perhaps, someone else took the initiative to give her, who would give her money for no reason?
And the goodnight she said before she just entered the house, it would definitely not be something that a girl who lives in the countryside all year round would say.
Hanaki was indeed as he guessed, very problematic.
But after observing for a night, he couldn't see the slightest flaw in her face.
Even when he was at home just now, he asked his sister Dongli to take the initiative to hug her and kiss her, he was next to him at the time, and he didn't see anything unusual, and there was no disguise on her face.
and her attitude towards Luo Yuejin today......
It is impossible for human habits to change overnight, and even if she wants to, it is impossible for her to do so. But Hanaki seems to have been reborn and become a different person, which is so strange.
Song Dongquan's thin lips pursed, even though he admired Hua Xi's intelligence and calmness, he was more and more sure in his heart that she might be the person he was looking for.
It seems that he is going to report back to his superiors.
Hua Xi tossed for a day, and after Song Dongquan entered the house, she went out to fetch water, and after scrubbing in her own house, she lay down to sleep.
After a day of tossing, she was exhausted and soon fell asleep.
At this time, there were no mobile phones, no televisions, and no Internet, people went to bed early, and the silent countryside was only the occasional birdsong from the mountains, and the night seemed more peaceful in the silence.
Late at night, a figure quickly walked out of the Hua family without making any sound.
