Be gentle

The store was open until 11:30 that night. Just ten minutes after the last business transaction, when Huaran saw that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road and was about to close the store, suddenly three or four men hurried into the store.

Their movements were loud and their voices were loud, breaking the silence in the shop at once.Huaran was taken aback, and when she looked closely, she found that the four men looked familiar.

"Why is it you? Where's Aunt Bai?" One of the four ran ahead, and when he reached the counter, he said anxiously, "Will you bandage it up? Help Brother Qiang deal with it."

It was only when Huaran heard the word "Brother Qiang" that he remembered who these people were.The person talking to her was Xiao Yang who was holding her hand at that time, and the man supported by two boys behind him was Brother Qiang.

Hua Ran followed Xiao Yang's words and looked at Brother Qiang, and found that his forehead was seriously injured, blood had already flowed all over his body, and a deep wound could be vaguely seen.

She was actually quite afraid of these men in her heart, but remembering that Bai Shu said that these men were old acquaintances with the Bai family, and seeing that he was seriously injured, she couldn't ignore him, so she had to muster up the courage to say to them: "You first Help him to sit on the chair, and I'll see if I can stop the bleeding."

Several people seemed to be familiar with the pharmacy, and helped Brother Qiang to sit on the chair.The man called Brother Qiang was pale, but his expression was always calm, and his consciousness seemed to be very clear. He closed one eye and looked at Huaran.

Huaran used to see her grandfather applying medicine to traumatized people, so she was not afraid of blood and shocking wounds.It's just that several opposite sexes around her are staring at her intently, which makes her very nervous.

Brother Qiang's wound was long and deep, as if he had been cut open by some sharp tool, and the bleeding could not be stopped with gauze alone.Huaran wanted to use Yunnan Baiyao powder to stop the bleeding, but every time he applied it, the blood washed it away.In the end, she could only wrap the powder in the gauze and press it on his head with her hands.

Brother Qiang didn't seem to feel the pain, and he could even send Xiao Yang out to investigate the situation during the process.Huaran pressed for a full ten minutes before the blood finally stopped slowly.

The other two boys waited anxiously beside them, and only then did they finally relax.

Huaran helped Brother Qiang change a piece of gauze, added a lot of Yunnan Baiyao, and finally wrapped it up with a bandage.

"Although the bleeding has stopped, we should go to the hospital for stitches, otherwise the recovery will be slow." Although Huaran didn't want to cause trouble, but after all, she had worked in the pharmacy for a long time, and subconsciously told her.

Brother Qiang said "thank you", and the two younger brothers next to him hurriedly followed suit, which made Huaran feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"It should be." She didn't dare to ask how the injury came about, let alone say anything more.

Brother Qiang took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to Hua Ran while asking his younger brother, "Are you sure no one is following you?"

Huaran's hands were covered in blood, and she didn't dare not take it, so she had to carefully walk to the counter with the money, pretending that she couldn't hear the conversation of several people at all.

"Xiao Yang said he didn't see anyone, so he probably got away with it just now, and they didn't dare to make trouble with Aunt Bai."

Brother Qiang stood up and said, "We still can't make it difficult for Aunt Bai, let's leave as soon as there is no one else."

Huaran was looking for money for him, seeing several people walking out, one of them was anxious and couldn't help shouting: "Brother Qiang, I'm looking for your money."

After she yelled, she felt something was wrong. Brother Qiang turned his head and looked at her for a while, then suddenly frowned and asked, "Do you know Tao Wan?"

"What?" Huaran was a little puzzled.

Brother Qiang ignored her, and walked out and said, "You don't need to change the money."

Huaran saw the three of them walk out of the store, and was about to let out a sigh of relief when Xiao Yang suddenly pushed the door open and poked his head in to say something.

"Miss Huaran, I'm really sorry last time."

Huaran's heart stopped in fright after being treated like this. Although there was no danger, she still closed the door quickly.

The longer she worked in the pharmacy, the more Huaran began to understand what the hotel proprietress said to herself.Almost every customer who comes to the pharmacy to buy medicine knows the mother and daughter of the Bai family, and most of them can chat for a while.Especially after the weather gradually warms up, the old people nearby often like to come and walk, even if they don't buy medicine, they still have to talk to Bai Wenxue.

Probably because the pharmacy has been open for a long time, it has almost become an iconic place.Nearby are almost all demolition and allocation houses, most of which are rented out to young office workers.They were not at home during the day, and many of the couriers were temporarily placed in the pharmacy, and they got to know the mother and daughter of the Bai family after coming and going.

Huaran didn't know whether Bai Wenxue had a wide network of contacts, but she knew that they must be very popular.Enthusiastically help others, treat others equally, and create convenience for others.

They seem to have gotten used to this kind of life. Bai Wenxue is like the mother of many people, while Bai Shuyi is like the granddaughter of many people.

Day after day, life seems to be the same, but so colorful.Does time go fast or slow?Huaran doesn't know.But it must be happy, she is absolutely sure of this.

On the weekend in mid-April, the three of them woke up early to go to Huaran's hometown.Zhao Xingxing drove the car himself and acted as a driver for the three of them.The four of them arrived in T county around ten o'clock, and Zhao Xingxing found the hardware store under the guidance of Huaran.

Bai Wenxue asked Zhao Xingxing and Bai Shuyi to wait in the car, while she accompanied Huaran to pay back the money.The owner of the hardware store was a fat, middle-aged man whom Hanara had contacted before, so he didn't look surprised when the two entered the store.

"Uncle Wang." Hua Ran shyly called Boss Wang.

"Come on, you and I can talk inside," Boss Wang looked like a cool person, and while greeting them politely, he said to the shop assistants: "Xiao Chen, please pour two glasses of water over here, and then have a look. shop."

Because of the creditor's request, this time Bai Wenxue brought cash directly, which was really inconvenient in the store.While leading the two of them to the back room, Boss Wang said to Huaran, "This is Boss Bai, right? Xiaoran, you really met a good boss."

Huaran nodded, and Bai Wenxue smiled and said, "Xiaoran is not only my employee, but also my goddaughter. She has helped me a lot, and now the pharmacy cannot do without her."

Boss Wang agreed and said: "Xiaoran is really capable, willing to endure hardships, good-natured, pretty and honest. Boss Bai has a good vision and found a good helper."

Bai Wenxue and Boss Wang were chatting while getting things done, but Huaran, the person involved, didn't intervene during the whole process.When Bai Wenxue said that she was her goddaughter, Huaran's head went on strike for a few minutes, and then she couldn't keep up with the rhythm. She was still a little dazed when she left the hardware store.

Although the fact that she is in debt has not changed, but for some reason, it makes her feel easier to owe Bai Wenxue than to owe Boss Wang.She soon realized that she had regarded Bai Wenxue as a very close person since she did not know when, and trusted her far more than Boss Wang, so she was relieved when the debt was transferred.

This seems to be a good phenomenon, but it also worries Huaran.She must remind herself all the time that she cannot rely on them for granted.No matter who the debtor is, you can't relax for a moment, and you must work hard to pay off the money as soon as possible.

Bai Shuyi waited for the two of them to come back in the car like a baby, while chatting with Zhao Xingxing.

"Xiaobai, you really like Xiaoran." Zhao Xingxing leaned on the seat, pretending to be casual.

"Yes, yes, because Sister Ran is so gentle and beautiful."

"Mainly because you're pretty, right? You little nymphomaniac." Zhao Xingxing shook his head and laughed, "I heard Aunt Bai said that you went to the restaurant every three days just to meet her? Or did she do you any favors?"

"It's a good thing to see Sister Ran! Brother Xing, you don't know that Sister Ran is different from everyone else." Bai Shu lay down on the back of the seat in the front seat and said with a smile, "She's not a bad person, she's fine. "

Zhao Xingxing was helpless.The little guy is too clever to make words out of him.He only hoped that her cleverness could be used in the right place and not be deceived by others.

"Okay then, come and tell me how she is different from others, so what?"

Bai Shu thought for a while, and then said: "Then let me talk about the reason why my mother decided to help her. At that time, my mother suddenly fell ill in the pharmacy alone. Fortunately, sister Ran helped her. Sister Ran worked very hard after she came to work in the pharmacy. She is motivated, and her mother often praises her for being smart and willing to endure hardships. Not only her own work, but also all kinds of sundries, she will rush to do it, and she will never shirk the dirty work."

"Do you know? I don't know when it started. Sister Ran opened the door after six o'clock in the morning and didn't close until eleven o'clock in the evening. My mother didn't know about it."

"Aunt Bai doesn't know, how did you know?"

"I just found out. One day I went to school and wanted to eat fried dough sticks from the breakfast shop next to the pharmacy. I found out after a little detour. I wondered if she opened so early, would she also close late? So I went to I asked the proprietress at the restaurant opposite, and she told me."

Zhao Xingxing understood what Bai Shuyi wanted to tell him, but because he had seen Huaran go in and out of that kind of place, he was always a little worried.

"Then why didn't you tell Aunt Bai?"

"Oh, brother Xing, you also know my mother. She is very serious about her work, and she definitely doesn't want to let sister Ran suffer. But I think that sister Ran is now consciously helped by us, and she must feel very sorry. It's better not to stop her from using it. It's good to work hard in your own way. And after a long time, my mother will find out." Bai Shuyi looked at Zhao Xingxing from the rearview mirror with a bright smile, with an expression that you should hurry up and praise me.

"You clever ghost... Well, even if what you said is true, Huaran may indeed be a nice girl, but do you know her past? If she is not what you think, you will still Do you like her?"

"Brother Xing, the logic of your sentence is wrong. If you admit that Sister Ran is indeed a good girl, then she is what I think. No, it must not be what I think, but the fact. Since it is a fact, then her past What else is important?"

"I don't know if my mother told you about the situation of sister Ran's house, but you should be able to see that she had a hard life. But even if it was so hard, I never heard her complain or complain. I think sister Ran What a representative of industriousness, gentleness, kindness, and beauty!"

"Sure enough, it's because of her beauty." Zhao Xingxing laughed loudly, but a bit of bitterness welled up in his heart.

Hardworking, gentle, kind, and beautiful, these four words could be used in another girl without any difference.

Did Xiaobai also see her shadow in Huaran?
