Be gentle

Huaran spent the New Year with Bai Wenxue, and returned to her hometown in the third year of junior high.Because she hadn't contacted Granny Hua this year, she decided to go back and stay for a few more days this time to see if she could hear about her.

Bai Shuyi was very reluctant to leave, if the store wasn't too busy, she would have gone with her.

When Huaran returned home this time, her mood was completely different from the past. At least she would no longer feel guilty and helpless when facing the village chief's family.What surprised her even more was that she had paid off almost half of her debts within one year, and Bai Wenxue gave her a bonus of 2 yuan at the end of the year.

This time she didn't refuse, and kept it well by herself.After all, there is still money from Granny Hua that has not been repaid. If I save enough by myself, I don't need to bother Bai Wenxue anymore.

Because there are a lot of things, Huaran simply packed a car and came back this time.After staying with Bai Shuyi for a long time, she became more open about money.The cement road that originally only led to the entrance of the village has been slowly repaired into the village in the past year. Although it is not very neat and exquisite, it is wide enough to ensure the passage of trucks.

When she came in, she just passed a car, and the two cars didn't look crowded side by side.

Huaran has called Hua Jianguo regularly this year, so she is quite clear about the development of the village.It is said that Songhetang also signed a contract with them on Dendrobium candidum, and the income of the villagers has increased a lot this year.Due to the advantages of the geographical environment, under the leadership of the village head, every household began to plant relatively expensive Chinese herbal medicines.

The driver was quite responsible, and sent Huaran to the door of the village chief's house.Hua Jianguo seemed to have been waiting outside the door for a long time. Seeing Huaran's car coming, he hurriedly asked his son and grandson to come out to help her get things.

"Grandpa, what are you doing waiting outside in such a cold day, I will call you when I come."

"Oh, I didn't wait long, I just came out...Why do you bring so many things, don't move, let your uncle and Brother Shuanzi carry them for you."

Hua Mengmeng also came out with her father and brother, warmly took Huaran's hand and said: "Sister Huaran, you are finally back. Don't carry such heavy things, let my brother do it."

I don't know if it's because I have a different state of mind, so I feel differently towards others. Huaran always feels that everyone seems to be more enthusiastic about herself.It's not that there is really such a big contrast, it's just that everyone looks very relaxed, and the strong flavor of the year just makes people feel beaming.

"OK then……"

Hua Ran was pulled in by Hua Mengmeng, and Aunt Hua brought her sweet soup.There were still a few cups of undrinked tea left on the table, it looked like someone had just left.

"Don't be busy, Auntie, I've already eaten."

"I'll eat some after eating, I'm sure I'm hungry after so long in the car." Aunt Hua said kindly while packing the tea set, "It's still a long time before dinner, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll go buy some more."

"I can eat anything, don't bother me."

"No trouble, no trouble, it's much more convenient now, I'll ask Shuanzi to buy some more fish, and I'll cook steamed fish with meat for you tonight."

Auntie is so enthusiastic, Huaran can't shirk anymore.Several men brought all the things in, Huaran simply divided the things for everyone.

Everyone seemed to be in a good mood, even Shuan Zi, who had no good looks at the beginning, spoke to Hua Ran very gently today.Hua Jianguo took out a red envelope for her as New Year's money, and the two pushed and pulled Huaran several times before accepting it.

"Dye girl, I really want to thank you, and also Boss Bai. This year, the income of the village has improved a lot, and the Chinese herbal medicine base has gradually been built. The tourism bureau also said that if our village is done well, it will help us do it. The development of tourism projects has planned our village into a tourist area."

In recent years, the local tourism industry has also been developing, but Huajia Village is located in the middle of the mountain, and generally few people will come here to see anything, so they don't benefit much.

Knowing that everyone is getting better and better, Hanaran is also very happy.

"Grandpa, you don't need to thank me. I didn't do anything, but I will convey your thanks to Aunt Bai when I go back. It is because you, the village head, think about everyone and work for everyone's welfare that the village can get better and better."

Hua Ran boasted that he was honest, and Hua Jianguo was very relieved to hear it.

"That's not to say, everyone is working hard to get rich. That's right, if you stay a few more days this time, grandpa will take you to see the base of our village tomorrow. Although it will take a few years for artificial planting to be harvested, But the transplanted piece has grown very well, and someone came here to buy it."

The base was established with the help of Songhetang, so most of the medicinal materials had to be sold to them.However, Songhetang did not restrict them to retail in small quantities, and some individuals would come to buy semi-finished products by themselves.

Hua Ran remembered the car when she entered the village, and said casually: "No wonder, when I entered the village, I just saw a car leaving the village. Is it to buy medicinal materials?"

She just raised her mouth, but the room suddenly fell silent. After a while, Hua Jianguo asked cautiously, "You, did you see that car?"

At the beginning of Huaran, she hadn't reacted yet, but when she saw the attitude of several people, she felt a little bit suspicious.

"Yes...the one I met at the entrance of the village, isn't it here to buy medicine?"

Before Hua Jianguo opened his mouth, Dongzi said first, "Yes, I came to buy medicinal materials. But too many people have bought them recently and they are out of stock, so she didn't buy them."

Uncle Hua next to him echoed repeatedly, and Aunt Hua took the opportunity to say, "Oh, don't chat anymore, let Xiaoran rest for a while after drinking the sweet soup, and Shuanzi, drive your motorcycle and go buy some vegetables."

The topic was taken away, and everyone became lively again.Hua Mengmeng was admitted to a key high school, and there seemed to be some changes in the past six months.Huaran wrapped her a red envelope to congratulate her on her good grades, but she even shied away.

Compared with previous years, Huaran obviously felt that everyone was busy.Hua Mengmeng talked with Huaran for a while, and then ran to help her mother handle the medicinal materials - she earned a lot of pocket money by doing this.

In the end, Hua Jianguo was left to accompany Huaran and talk about some recent developments.

"Dye girl, boy Teng came back this year and told the truth about what happened back then. Everyone feels sorry for you. If someone greets you tomorrow, I hope you..."

Hua Teng was the young man who had a crush on Hua Ran and tricked his parents into donating money to her.It is quite complicated for Huaran to mention this matter again, but it does not seem to be the case when it comes to resenting him.

Hua Teng and her are really like childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.It's just that because she wants to take care of her family, and the two of them are different from each other, their relationship is naturally not considered close.

It's not that she doesn't know that Hua Teng likes her, and she has always clearly rejected it.When the other party tricked her parents into donating money for her, she believed that his intentions were good.It's just that the later development really exceeded expectations. The other party cowardly chose to acquiesce, which dealt a heavy blow to her—don't talk about the friendship between men and women, just talk about the friendship that grew up together, how did it go so far?

In the past few years, she rarely returned to the village, mainly because of that incident.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I never blamed them. At that time, everyone extended a helping hand to me. Although there was some misunderstanding later, they really helped me through the difficulties. I have never had the opportunity to thank them properly."

To ask Huaran if she has any complaints, she thought that she should still have some complaints.It was really hard at the beginning. If I hadn't met the Bai family, I don't know what it would be like now.

But on the other hand, if this incident had not happened, her life might have been different.

Then can we still meet Xiaobai?

She didn't know, and didn't want to assume that possibility.

Because she is doing well now, she can treat those things more calmly.

Hua Jianguo knew that Huaran had always been a kind and sensible child, so he felt relieved and felt more guilty at the same time.Not only because of the fact that her family used to collect debts from her, but also because of another thing that she wants to hide from her now.

"Grandpa, is there still no news from Granny Hua?"

Huaran has always been very concerned about this matter, not only because she has to pay back the money, but also because she wants to visit Granny Hua.Considering the other party's advanced age, she was really afraid that it would be forever to contact her.

"This..." Hua Jianguo sighed, and said, "Not yet. Xiaoran, don't worry, Granny Hua is still in good health, and her daughter's family is also good, so she will take good care of her. Grandpa will help you find out. "

Hua Ran felt that she had troubled him, so of course she was too embarrassed to force her, so she just said: "Grandpa I know, I want to take advantage of this time to find out by myself, can you give me Granny Chun's previous address?"

I have been hiding it for nearly a year, and I don't know how long it can last, but since Hua Jianguo chose to do this in the first place, there is no turning back.

"Rye girl, you will only find a needle in a haystack if you look for it like this. Listen to grandpa and stay here for a few days when you come back. Grandpa will help you find it."

Hua Jianguo refused to give her the address, Huaran only thought that he didn't want to do useless work by himself.Insisting no longer seemed to distrust him, so he had no choice but to compromise.

Hua Jianguo took her to visit the base the next day, and the villagers he met on the way greeted her warmly.

However, rather than becoming enthusiastic, it seemed to be returning to the previous situation.Huaran grew up in the village, and his grandfather is the only doctor, so the villagers are very familiar with each other.If there was no previous incident, it would be impossible for her to suffer such cold treatment in the following years.

While politely saying hello to the uncles and uncles who greeted her, she carefully observed the village where she grew up.

A lot of changes have taken place in the village. Although they are not earth-shaking, Huaran really feels the improvement of everyone's living standards.

Once again, she thanked Bai Wenxue from the bottom of her heart.
