Be gentle

7 yuan, where will she get the 7 yuan within a month?No matter how good Aunt Bai treats her, she has only known her for a few months. Would you like to lend her 7 yuan?If you can't borrow it, what should you do?

Is that really the only way?

Huaran had a sleepless night, and bid farewell to the village chief's family early the next day.She went to see her grandfather and father first, and then turned to Granny Hua's house.

Although everyone in Huajia Village has the surname Hua, she is the only one who can be called Granny Hua.Because Granny Hua is the oldest embroiderer in the village, she has superb embroidery skills, and all kinds of gorgeous flowers are best embroidered and lifelike, so the villagers will call her Granny Hua when they meet her.

As the government pays more attention to mountain villages, skilled old people like Granny Hua are also taken care of.Although the old man lived a passable life in her later years, the years have already carved a mark that cannot be ignored on her.

A few years ago, Grandma Hua's memory was up and down, only embroidery seemed to be instinctive, and she never let go.When Granny Hua donated her longest embroidered picture to the government and received a bonus of 5 yuan for Huaran, it was the time when she cried the most.

Granny Hua lived alone on the edge of the village, near a stream flowing down from the mountain.The old man is 90 years old, and only one daughter is still alive, and her grandson has taken her to live in the town.The grandson and great-grandson are not bad for her. They often send her money and things, and pay the neighbors to help take care of her.

It's just that he is busy with work after all, so he might be able to visit her several times a year.Granny Hua herself doesn't want to trouble her children and grandchildren, let alone trouble others.

From a distance, Huaran saw Granny Hua wearing thick clothes and a black bowler hat sitting at the gate of the yard, groping for the embroidery on the stretcher while basking in the sun.

"Grandma, Granny Hua."

Granny Hua's eyes are not good anymore, and her ears are very deaf. She didn't hear the sound until Huaran walked to her side.

"Ah? Who is it?"

Huaran knelt down beside her and said loudly, "It's me, mother-in-law, I'm Xiaoran."

"Ah, it's Xiao girl?" Granny Hua squinted her eyes to look at Huaran's face, and there seemed to be a warm light in her muddy pupils, "Let my mother-in-law take a look, Xiao girl, you have been away for a long time, and my mother-in-law will not recognize you anymore." .”

The aborigines in Huajia Village all have the surname Hua, and there are very few outsiders, and there have only been a few in recent years.Huaran knew that she had misunderstood the person, and said: "Grandma, I'm not Miss Xiao, I'm Girl Ran, I'm Xiaoran."

"Xiaoran...ah, Xiaoran." Granny Hua stretched out her hand to touch Huaran's face, and complained: "Xiao girl, why are you so cruel? It will be too hard to dye a girl after you leave. Even if you didn't She is willing to marry into the village, but Ran girl's father is still good, he is the one who saved you."

Granny Hua has a bad memory, but she speaks very clearly.

After hearing this, Huaran understood that Granny Hua had confused herself with her mother. She was a little sad and a little shocked by her words.Two years ago, my mother-in-law's memory wasn't so bad that she would be able to recognize her in a short while.

"Grandma Hua..." The old man's dry and rough hands stroked her cheeks, causing her to feel the pain, and the pain went all the way to her heart, "You, are you okay? Are you in good health? Is anyone taking care of you?"

Granny Hua nodded with a smile, "Okay, everything is fine. The old sister often comes to visit and talk to me."

Most of the people who can be called old sisters by Granny Hua are no longer alive.

Seeing that her spirit was obviously not as good as that of the previous two years, Hua Ran had a bad premonition in her heart for some reason.She shook her head to dispel this unlucky thought, turned to look at the embroidery on the frame and said, "Grandma, is this your new embroidery pattern?"

Granny Hua sighed heavily, "No, Granny can't see it. Girl Xiao, you used to learn embroidery from Granny. You must be very good now, right? Sigh, your dyed girl is also good at embroidering."

Hua Ran didn't correct Granny Hua anymore, but just chatted with her.After talking for a while, the old man gradually became tired. Seeing her falling asleep, Hua Ran covered her with a blanket before leaving.

After returning to the town, Huaran also visited the owner of a hardware store.Her grandfather once cured the boss' chronic illness. Because of this fate, the boss lent her the remaining [-] yuan when Grandpa Hua was seriously ill.Although the interest rate is a bit high, it is enough for Huaran to be grateful when no one else is willing to help her, and it is very likely that she will not pay.

After finishing these things, Huaran finally embarked on the journey back to H City.

Being able to get a high school diploma was originally a very happy thing, but when Huaran came back, she was in a heavy heart.The matter of money, the village head's family, Granny Hua's affairs, and the things about her mother that she hadn't heard of for many years were all on her mind.

Moreover, this kind of worry made her more anxious the closer she got to the Warm Pharmacy.Her original determination to try to borrow money from Bai Wenxue began to shake violently.

Having been taken care of like this, can I really push forward like this again?What would Aunt Bai think of herself?Do you feel like you're lying to her?

Huaran cherishes the relationship with Bai Wenxue and Baishu very much, so she cares more about their opinion of herself.It doesn't matter if it's just that they can't borrow money, but if they think that they have something wrong, and they can't continue to work in the pharmacy, this is what she doesn't want to see anyway.

Huaran got off the bus worriedly, only a few hundred meters away from the pharmacy, but her feet could only move slowly as if filled with lead.The sky had gradually darkened, and she walked back slowly with a heavy heart.

Just at this moment, a figure jumped out of the pharmacy.

Huaran saw Bai Shu quickly turned on the advertising light in front of the drugstore, and then stood at the door looking around as if looking for something.Her heart beat quickly, and then she met the child's eyes from a distance.

"Sister Ran!" Bai Shuyi's voice was filled with surprise and excitement, and he was already running towards her while waving at her, "Sister Ran, you are finally back."

On the young girl's Qingjun face was a warm smile that didn't know the misery in the world, as if it was the sunshine that could melt the ice and snow in winter, it made Huaran's heart feel hot and her eyes sour.

"noob……"

As soon as Bai Shu held her hand, he said with a smile, "What's the matter, Sister Ran? Did you see me so moved? Hehehe, let's go home, we're having dinner right now."

The haze in my heart seemed to be dispelled all at once, and all kinds of unsolvable difficulties seemed less daunting.Bai Shuyi's slender and strong hand held hers, as if he was leading her back from the thorny road to the warm sunshine.

"Ah."

Bai Shuyi seemed to have something to say, and he dragged her to chatter, while Huaran silently followed her, responding to her gently.The moment she stepped into the pharmacy, she seemed to have entered another world.

"Xiaoran is back?" Bai Wenxue was setting the dishes, and when she saw her daughter come back with Huaran, she said with a smile, "I don't know how many times I looked at the door today, but I finally hoped for you to come back. Want to have dinner? Come and eat together."

Is this what it's like to be waited upon and greeted?It seemed like she hadn't tasted it for a long time.

Seeing Huaran's dusty appearance, Bai Shu took her backpack and put it away, and urged her to wash her hands.

After Huaran entered the bathroom, Bai Shuyi said to Bai Wenxue with some sadness: "Mom, I think sister Ran is a bit weird... Did something happen when I went back?"

She is sensitive by nature, and Bai Wenxue is also intuitive.

"It seems so, I don't know what happened."

"I feel wronged, don't be bullied?" Bai Shu was filled with righteous indignation every time he thought of this possibility, and his voice unconsciously became louder.

Bai Wenxue didn't ask much about Huaran's affairs before, but after getting along with her during this time, she has already regarded her as his own family.

"I'll ask Xiaoran later, don't be embarrassed to tell me if you have any difficulties."

Bai Shuyi naturally agreed, "Yes, yes, mother, you can ask her."

Seeing her excited look, Bai Wenxue smiled and said, "I have a sense of proportion, so don't meddle in it, so that she won't be embarrassed to speak in front of you."

"I know, Mom."

Huaran's heart that had been frozen due to fear before finally warmed up a little bit, but it was still unavoidable to be full of worries when eating.The sleepless night and the exhaustion of the journey made her look extremely haggard. Bai Wenxue and Bai Shu saw it but tacitly didn't mention it. After dinner, she was asked to go back to the room to rest.

If it was the usual Huaran, he would definitely reject this proposal, and insisted on immediately putting himself into work.But she was really in a trance today, and she obediently went back to the room, even forgetting to take her backpack.

"Mom, there must be something wrong." Bai Shuyi said firmly.

Bai Wenxue nodded, "I'll go ask her, one by one, take care of the store."

"Okay, mom, you can go."

Huaran's first idea when she agreed to her uncle's words was to advance Bai Wenxue's salary. It doesn't matter if she signs a contract for five years, ten years or even longer, and the borrowed money will be deducted from her salary slowly.But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was too shameless.

How can an employee who has not worked for a long time ask his boss to advance his salary for ten years?Even if you are willing to sell yourself, do people need to do it for so long?Because they are kind to you, did you immediately think of borrowing money from them?

Huaran understands the embarrassment of borrowing money from others best, and there are not a few folks in the village who had a good relationship with each other because of this kind of thing.She is both sad about her situation and disgusted with herself who wants to rely on the Bai family.

So brazen.

When the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything.

But if you don't do this, what can you do?After finally breaking free from the quagmire, did he go back again?

If I really do that, I will never see Bai Shuyi, Bai Wenxue, and the village chief's grandfather again, right?

After death, grandpa and father will definitely not want to see themselves again.

Huaran was sitting in the room, struggling extremely in her heart, at this moment, Bai Wenxue's voice came in along with the knock on the door.

"Xiaoran, you forgot to take your bag."

The author has something to say: I will enter V tomorrow, and there will be three shifts at that time.
