Ji Huai went to the city to buy medicine and rushed back to give it to Wen Yun.
This time, the bite area was larger, with new wounds and old wounds. The scratches were all red and bleeding in many places.
There were small bite wounds all over her hands and neck, very small and red dots. It will itch if you don't scratch it, and it will hurt if you scratch it, which is very annoying.
Wang Xiufen was unloading the sheets, carrying the quilt in her room and heading out: "The clothes have to be washed and exposed to the sun. Those things are very small, and they will bite them again if they get into the quilt."
Wen Yun raised her hand to scratch again, but Ji Huai held her hand, squeezed some plaster, and rubbed it on her wound, "I took a bath and changed my clothes. There should be nothing left on my body. Then change the quilt."
"It hurts." She frowned. There were many little red spots that were scratched by her, and they stung when she applied the plaster.
"Wipe it before going to bed today, and you will be much better tomorrow." Ji Huai put down her hand and comforted her.
"Don't go there anymore, there are a lot of rice bugs there." Wang Xiufen walked up to her again and warned her specifically.
"...Yeah." Wen Yun nodded obediently.
Wang Xiufen also came over to take a look, "Don't be afraid, it bites and itches, and the medicine will heal it quickly."
As soon as she left, Wen Yun and Ji Huai looked at each other. Her eyes were a little depressed. She looked at her hands and lowered her head.
"I didn't believe anything I said a few days ago, but now I've learned a lesson? Are you going to go?" Ji Huai felt distressed and helpless. Seeing her gently scratching, he took her hand over and rubbed it slowly with his fingertips.
"It wasn't like this before. I worked at home all the time. I know how to work, and I never acted like this." She raised her head again, denying that she was spoiled.
Ji Huai and Wang Xiufen do so much work every day. She doesn't want to be a useless person and has no peace of mind. She is also very diligent.
"What did you do before?" Ji Huai asked with a smile.
Wen Yun recalled one by one: "Feeding pigs, chickens, washing clothes..."
The Xu family does not have a washing machine. When she goes home, she has to wash clothes for the whole family. She has a large bucket of clothes every day. In order to save water, she has to go to the well to get water for washing.
Ji Huai's smile gradually faded, he held her hand and said slowly: "That's different. Large-scale breeding is different from those. Besides, this bug can bite people. It can be found wherever poultry gathers."
"Why did you bite me?"
This is what makes her unbalanced. Just biting her alone and grabbing her will make people think that she is too squeamish and can't do anything. There is so much work at home.
"Everyone is different." He rubbed the back of her hand and raised the corners of his mouth, half-jokingly, "Some people are born to enjoy a happy life. There is nothing they can do about it."
"No." Her eyes widened suddenly, feeling that what he said was too much, and she even took her hand out of his hand, angrily, "You might as well say that I don't have the destiny to be a princess and have princess disease!"
Ji Huai grabbed her and didn't let go, the smile in his eyes did not diminish, and he went to hug her, "Maybe there is one?"
Wen Yun has never had such daydreams.
"Don't go to the backyard next time. Grandma knows she'll scold me again. Prepare for lessons and work hard." He let go of her slightly, raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose.
"This way I can't help." She pursed her lips, her eyes falling on her hands again, feeling irritable.
"Why do you want to help? I can finish my work when you go to school, and I'm not asking you to come back and work for me. What? Do you really want to come back and pick duck eggs with me?" Ji Huai scolded with a smile.
"But you work so hard..."
Before she finished speaking, he interrupted, with seriousness in his dark eyes, "I never planned to let you help me from the beginning, and I won't let you do it either. Do you understand?"
Wen Yun lowered her eyes and looked at her fingertips, remaining silent for a while before replying in a trembling voice, "What should I do?"
How does she fit into their family
He has always said that he will get married when she graduates. She wants to marry in, but she can't help him. Is she the one who is suitable for him
Wen Yun herself has no sense of security, making it seem like the two of them are not in the same world.
"Just study hard and work as a teacher in the city after graduation." Ji Huai answered without hesitation.
Wen Yun lowered her head and took a breath.
"Don't want to be a teacher? It's great to be a teacher. You can avoid being exposed to wind and sun. You have been tanned these past few days since you got home, and now you are bitten by bugs. You don't have to suffer such hardship." He looked at her and said.
"..." Wen Yun was silent again. It took a long time to muster up the courage. Mingcheng stared at him with stubborn eyes again, "What about us?"
She is not afraid of hardship and can endure hardship.
"We? What we?" Ji Huai frowned, "Of course I have to endure more hardships before you graduate. I can't just keep doing this. I can't make any money on my own, and I have to save money before you graduate. Buy a house and get married.”
Wen Yun's expression froze for a moment, and then she recovered. Her sad heart that hit the bottom quickly rose again, and she muttered, "I'm not forcing you to buy a house."
Ji Huai: "Where will you live and work in the city? What will you do if your children go to school?"
What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and it seemed to be a sure thing. She didn't expect that he had already considered it so far. Her cheeks were filled with pink, and her heart felt like she had eaten candied fruit. She pursed her lips and said softly, "It's still early~~"
"It's not early, we need a lot of money."
"Well… "
…
Ji Huai said to the end that he would not let her get too involved and said that he would find a way to let her study with peace of mind.
Since being bitten that time, Wen Yun has been completely banned from entering the rear farm. Her usual duties include cleaning the yard and helping Wang Xiufen make salted duck eggs. But misfortunes never come singly. Within two days, she had a fever.
I originally wanted to perform well, but now I have become sick and have no place to cry.
"What happened? Take her to the hospital quickly." Wang Xiufen urged Ji Huai, and her rough hand came over again and touched her forehead, "It must be a fever, go to the hospital quickly."
Ji Huai looked solemn and stood up to get some clothes for Wen Yun. Wang Xiufen took them and put them on for her.
Wen Yun was so burned that she felt like her eyelids were heavy, her whole body was weak, she felt guilty and embarrassed, and she had all kinds of mixed feelings.
I even feel like I'm a drag.
On the way, Ji Huai didn't speak, and she didn't dare to speak either. She sat in the passenger seat sickly.
When he arrived at the hospital, he was busy registering and taking her to see a doctor. Wen Yun's feet were so weak from the fever that her whole body was weak and she just wanted to stand against the wall. It was so uncomfortable.
Her head was buzzing and she had a headache. She even thought that when she got better, she wouldn't dare to live in Ji's house because she would cause trouble to others.
"Be patient." Ji Huai breathed out, walked to her side, and put his arm around her.
When he was already fragile, as soon as he released the information, Wen Yun leaned into his arms, her body weight pressing on him.
"Were the clothes I wore for you yesterday too thin? Did you kick off the quilt after I left?" Ji Huai put his hand on the back of her head and gently comforted her, frowning and looking slightly downcast.
Wen Yun instantly understood what he was talking about.
Although the two of them didn't sleep together, this man came to haunt her every day.
She was also worried at first, but later she found out that Wang Xiufen was fine and refused to go upstairs at all, but even so, she would urge him to go back and not spend the night with him.
"The windows don't seem to be closed, are you catching a cold?" he added.
Wen Yun pursed her lips, feeling really uncomfortable. Seeing that he still felt a little guilty, she hummed in his arms, like an injured cat asking for comfort, which was particularly pitiful.
After seeing a doctor and prescribing an injection, Wang Xiufen called during the injection. Wen Yun's heart tightened and she just heard him say, "The fever is gone."
The other end didn't know what was said. He nodded and answered a few times before hanging up.
When he put away the phone, Wen Yun's tone became pitiful and she rolled her eyelids, "Why do I have so many things to do? Will grandma think I'm a trouble?"
"No." Ji Huai laughed.
"My health is so bad." Her expression darkened, and she emphasized again, "I wasn't like this before. I rarely get sick, really."
"Yeah, so it will be fine soon." He said and got up to get her a cup of hot water. It was a little hot. He blew it on gently and then gave her some water after a while. "Drink some water."
Seeing him like this, Wen Yun slowly relaxed, but she was still a little worried about Wang Xiufen's thoughts.
Unexpectedly, when she returned, the other party had already cooked light pork rib porridge for her, served her a bowl, and said, "Eat something light, rest more and sleep more."
"Thank you, grandma." Her eyes were sore and sore. No one has ever taken care of her like this. In the past, she had to carry herself when she was sick and buy some medicine.
Wang Xiufen said with kind eyes, "After eating, go up and take a nap."
Because of her illness, her working hours were postponed for two days. Wang Xiufen cooked spareribs porridge for her alone for two days in a row, and also cooked light noodles for her breakfast.
The next day, Ji Huai turned off her alarm clock, causing her to sleep until 11:30 in the morning. When she woke up and saw the time, she almost jumped up with fright, looking at a loss.
It's over.
Not only does she have a lot to do, but she is also lazy and even sleeps until noon. How could there be such a lazy person like her? You haven’t passed the test yet, what do you want others to think
When she went downstairs, she did a lot of mental preparation and felt really shameless.
Flustered and uneasy, and not daring to delay, she had no choice but to go downstairs. As soon as she got downstairs, she met Wang Xiufen coming out of the kitchen carrying food, and Ji Huai coming back from work.
"Are you awake?" Wang Xiufen looked at her and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better today?"
"Yeah." Her voice sounded like a mosquito, and she was embarrassed to see anyone.
"I'll be fine if I take some medicine today." Ji Huai took off his clothes and put them together. Neither of them seemed to think there was anything wrong with her getting up late.
Wang Xiufen still cooked noodles for her this morning, but because she didn't get up, he scooped them up and put them on the table, "Eating noodles will make your digestion easier. Eat more vegetables."
Wen Yun felt like a lazy insect.
Ji Huai has always been doting on her. Ever since the two of them got together, he has obeyed her every word. If she didn't do any work, he probably wouldn't be relieved.
But Wang Xiufen was more casual than him and didn't take it seriously.
She told Ji Huai about her embarrassment in the evening, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "Didn't I tell you? If you don't want to go downstairs, grandma can serve it to you. Tell her what you want to eat, and she promises to remember it. Why are you so restrictive? ? Isn’t it the same as hurting you when I hurt you? "
Wen Yun pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at the door. He followed his gaze and locked it with his free hand.
She put her arms around his neck, sat on his lap, and hooked her arms around his waist.
The two of them faced each other, their postures were very ambiguous and bold.
She likes this position best. It's very comfortable to sit and she can lean into him or rest her head on his shoulder. When she clings to him, she likes to tilt her head and rub her head into his neck. "I'm not that lazy."
Ji Huai continued to laugh and hug her, "Aren't you going to work? This way you won't have any psychological burden."
“…”
As soon as Wen Yun went to work, it was true that she spent more time in class. When she came back, Ji Huai and Wang Xiufen had done everything and were just waiting for her to have dinner together.
As long as it's time to go to work, Ji Huai will put down what he's doing to pick up and drop off people, and occasionally deliver goods by the way. Wait until she gets off work and then pick her up.
No matter morning, afternoon or evening, he was always at her call, just like a special car. She only needed to make a phone call and he would be here.
She has a gentle personality and good abilities. She has been taking classes for a few days and is taken seriously. Sometimes she has three classes a day and is suddenly called to substitute.
No, she didn't come back from get out of class until half past three, and she was asked to go to class again at half past five.
She found it troublesome to pick her up and drop her off, but Ji Huai was used to it and just asked, "Are you going now?"
She nodded and tried to explain, "I can't refuse. Teacher Ai is not available. Her child is sick."
"I'll change some clothes." He put on his clothes and took the car keys before driving, taking her to the city.
In the car, Ji Huai also asked, "Would you like to buy something to cushion your stomach? It will be very late when you get home after class."
"I'm not hungry." She shook her head, "You and grandma eat first, don't wait for me."
Every time Ji Huai and Wang Xiufen had to wait for her to come back before eating. When it was late, she wouldn't come back until eight o'clock.
"Okay." Ji Huai agreed and parked the car in front of the cake shop. He got out of the car and bought her a cake. After getting in the car, he handed it to her, "Eat quickly. There's a bit of a traffic jam now. It's almost time to get there." . ”
Wen Yun looked at the cake in her hand, and then at him in the driver's seat, the curvature of the corners of her mouth becoming more obvious.
"What's wrong?" Ji Huai drove forward, noticed her gaze, and asked doubtfully.
She opened the cake and ate it with a spoon, with an unstoppable smile on her face, "a dedicated driver who works hard and never complains."
But on time.
"Do you do your duty?" Ji Huai followed her words and added, "Brother loves you."
Wen Yun felt a hint of sweetness in her heart and was too shy to reply.
When getting off the car, Ji Huai pressed down the window and said, "get out of class is over at half past eight?"
She nodded, "Yeah. You go back to eat first, you can come later."
He said again: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I haven't bought any New Year's goods yet. I'll pick you up later, and then we'll go to the supermarket together?"
The small supermarkets in the town are not as good as the big supermarkets in the city, and they have a wide variety of New Year products.
Wen Yun: "Okay, the hot water blanket and foot bath I bought for grandma have arrived. You can pick them up when you go back."
Ji Huai made an "OK" gesture.
Wen Yun was tutoring a little girl in fifth grade who had a poor foundation in English. She had to start with the most basic teaching, lead her to read the words, and let her memorize the words. The lectures should not be boring.
Because it is her major and strength, it is also an attempt for her, and she teaches with great care.
She teaches seriously, and the little girl also learns seriously.
After class, her father came to pick her up and said to her father, "Dad, can I let this teacher teach? She teaches better than Teacher Ai."
Wen Yun was embarrassed. This was not the student she had taught at the beginning. She was here as a substitute teacher today. She could only say good things, "Teacher Ai is an excellent and responsible teacher, with strong teaching ability and experience..."
The little girl's father was also open-minded and said helplessly, "Everyone's child's situation is different, and the teacher's teaching methods are also different. Maybe she is more suitable for your teaching method. Teacher Ai is indeed excellent, but she may be strict. She I just like to do it the other way around.”
…
The two chatted for a while about the child's current situation and problems. The little girl's father didn't care, so he thanked him and left.
Wen Yun breathed a sigh of relief. When Ji Huai arrived, the person in charge of the organization sent her a message as soon as they arrived at the supermarket.
When she saw it, she frowned and said it casually without hiding it from Ji Huai.
The person in charge arranged for the little girl to have one more class starting tomorrow. She was worried about what Teacher Ai would think, after all, she was her student.
Ji Huai enlightened her: "What are your thoughts? Will it be targeted at you? Maybe she also feels a little uncomfortable taking this student's class. It's normal to change teachers, so don't have any psychological burden. You are also part-time, and you will be going to school soon after the Chinese New Year." If you quit your job and have no contact with each other, if you feel comfortable here, you can work there part-time next time if you have the opportunity. If you don’t feel comfortable, you won’t go there again. They may be strangers to you who will never meet again.”
Hearing what he said, the burden in Wen Yun's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the two got out of the car and walked into the supermarket.
The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, and the supermarket is particularly busy. Ji Huai pushes a shopping cart, holds her hand with the other hand, and walks inside.
"What do you want to buy?" she looked up and asked him.
"What do you want to eat?" When Ji Huai saw someone walking by, he put his arm around her shoulders and led her towards him.
"What do I want to eat?" Wen Yun looked confused.
"Yes, we can buy whatever you want to eat, nuts? Milk? Chocolate? Candy?" Ji Huai pulled her to the snack area, pulled off a bag and handed it to her.
"What do you want to eat?" she asked, and then said with a smile, "We will buy whatever you want to eat."
Ji Huai laughed softly, his eyebrows stretched, he pulled the bag and put a few "Gold Ingot" chocolates inside, and then selected the "Gold Coin" chocolate, "Choose together."
"Okay~" she responded sweetly.
Since the death of Ji's father and Ji's mother, Ji's family rarely buys much new year's goods during the Chinese New Year. Firstly, he doesn't like snacks, and secondly, the elderly can only buy some candies, cookies and oranges.
For Wen Yun, this is also a new attempt. She has been either in the Wen family or the Xu family since she was a child. She is even more embarrassed during the New Year and the holidays. The one or two pieces of chocolate she occasionally gets are not sweet in her mouth. Wen Qiulan would not take her to buy new year's goods, but would only let her stay at home and work.
"Do you want to eat jelly?" Ji Huai picked the chocolate and put it in the shopping cart and asked her sideways.
Wen Yun shook her head and saw scallion-flavored pancakes for sale in a corner. Packs of small ones were sold. She pointed at them, "I want to eat that."
She is obsessed with this kind of pancake. When she was a child, Mrs. Wen always liked to buy this kind of biscuit. She only gave her a small bag every time, but gave several bags to her two cousins. She was always not full, so she was very greedy. Very greedy.
When she grew up, every time she went to buy biscuits, she would mostly buy this kind.
Ji Huai pulled a bag to her and raised his lips, "Go."
She took small steps and walked towards the other end with a happy face.
I took three classes today and earned 180. I can buy more.
Li Ru pushed the shopping cart downstairs and saw a familiar figure from behind. She pushed it closer and saw that it was Wen Yun.
"What a coincidence." She took the initiative to say hello, her eyes falling on the price tag next to her.
5.99 per pound.
In a large supermarket like this, biscuits costing less than six yuan per catty are extremely cheap, and any cake you buy costs more than ten or twenty yuan per catty.
Who spends a few dollars a pound to eat biscuits during the Chinese New Year
Wen Yun turned around and saw that it was her, and was a little surprised, "What a coincidence. Are you coming to the supermarket too?"
"It's Chinese New Year. Why don't you buy some snacks to eat while watching the show?" She said and then asked, "What about you? Are you looking for a part-time job when you come back?"
"Yeah." Wen Yun nodded.
Li Ru looked at the bag she was carrying. It only contained cheap pancakes. There were no shopping carts around. She pretended to be kind and pointed to the biscuits worth nearly thirty yuan a pound. "Those biscuits are so delicious. I even I bought a big bag.”
Wen Yun looked at her half-stacked shopping cart with various snacks and snacks. There was a bag of biscuits she was referring to, but she didn't like the taste of this fruit and shook her head, "I can't get used to this kind of fruit." Taste, I want to buy some more cakes.”
Wang Xiufen likes to eat cake.
Li Ru's sense of superiority was always present. He decided that she was reluctant to spend money, so she pursed her lips and changed the subject, "Did you do it yourself?"
Before she finished her sentence, Ji Huai pushed the cart over from the other side, holding a box of milk in his hand, "My wife, can I buy you this new flavor of yogurt to try?"
In the cart in front of him, there were more things than could be piled up, including various nuts, candies and chocolates.
"What did you get? Why are there so many suddenly?" Wen Yun looked at the car full of things and took a breath.
"I want to buy more." Ji Huai walked over and took the bag from her hand, "I'll weigh it."
She looked at the jelly in the car, "I just said I wouldn't eat jelly, why did you buy it too?"
Ji Huai: "It looks delicious. I'll buy it for you to try."
Seeing that he was going to weigh biscuits, Wen Yun quickly said goodbye to Li Ru, took a bag with cakes, and followed him.
Li Ru smiled forcefully and stiffly. In her sight, two people were standing side by side not far away. He took the cake in her hand and handed it to the clerk next to him. He put his other hand on her shoulder casually, making an intimate gesture.
She could only keep comforting herself, wasn't she just a poor boy? No matter how generous and kind he is to Wen Yun, he is still a poor boy and an illiterate poor boy.
I can only use some tricks to deceive people, but I don’t know what will happen in the future.
Li Ru pushed the shopping cart to check out.
There was a long queue, and the old man and lady in front were still very annoyed. She looked impatient. When it was her turn, Ji Huai and Wen Yun, who were queuing next to them, were also checking out.
They had a lot of stuff and packed two big bags.
"The total is five hundred and seventy-two point seven cents." The clerk read the amount.
Wen Yun had prepared the payment code. When she raised it to show it, Ji Huai's big hand had already covered it, and he could easily cover it. With a little force, he could press her hand down and said, "Scan mine."
"Ding."
Payment successful.
Before Wen Yun could say anything, he handed her a box of milk and carried the other two large bags. "Failed to grab the order. Next time you try hard, you can carry this."
While Li Ru was struggling to carry a large bag of snacks, Wen Yun was walking in front of her with a box of milk in one hand. She didn't know what the two of them were talking about. She reached out to hold his arm, acting like a baby. Rubbing it against his arm.
When she walked to the door, she looked at a black car not far away from the two people.
The man opened the trunk and put two bags of New Year's goods in. He took the milk from Wen Yun and put it inside.
The two got in the car and drove away.
She was too concerned about face and did not get close at all. When the other car reversed, she was afraid of being seen and backed away.
It was inconvenient to carry too many things, so she wanted to take a taxi, but found that it was difficult to get a taxi during the rush hour recently, so she called her parents again. They both had cars, but no one wanted to pick her up, and they shied away from each other:
"You can't come back by yourself? What do you mean you can't carry it back? Just buy less?"
"I said you spent too much money, did my money come from the strong wind?"
"Go to your mother."
"Call your dad."
…
Li Ru looked at the snacks on the ground and became more and more angry. The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she became. She couldn't help but kick her foot up and thought angrily: Isn't it great to have a car? Which family can't afford a car now? Can you afford a house in the city? I was afraid that my family was poor and I deliberately borrowed money to buy a car so that I could deceive the little girl.
Wen Yun's vision only went so far.
