After the kiss, looking at Mu Jiajun's eyes as before, Chu Ye couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, and Mu Jiajun also caught her in time.
Chu Ye broke down and cried, as if the lost child had finally found a supporter. She sobbed and intermittently poured out everything that happened after the two of them broke up - being sent to school by the Chu family, being fired, the fatigue in the factory, The sadness when I first started selling fish, the joy after making money, and now...the collapse of the fish school.
"They are all bullying me! Wuwuwu... they are all bullying me..."
"What should I do - the fish are all frozen to death, and all my efforts have been in vain!" Chu Ye cried loudly, and a large piece of Mu Jiajun's chest quickly became wet. The liquid seeped into his skin through his clothes, and the cold Cool.
He wrapped his arms around Chu Ye, trapping her tightly in his arms, feeling her emotional changes, and patted her back lightly with his palms.
After a long time, the crying in her arms became quieter. Mu Jiajun lowered his head and touched the top of her black hair with his chin. Just now, when he heard that the Chu family ran to the school to make trouble, his teeth were itching with hatred, and his thoughts instantly returned to When Chu Ye was deceived by his family into going home for a blind date, he was so angry that he beat Chu Guangyao. Speaking of it, it was the first time in his life that he beat someone.
He heard that Chu Ye slept in a dormitory with more than a dozen girls for half a year in the factory, and he felt infinite distress in his heart.
Later, he quit his job and rented a fish pond, and started to raise and sell fish step by step. He started to make money bit by bit by dealing with people.
His girl was always so good. Even though fate dealt her many injustices, she never complained and always looked for a new way out.
He also thought about the time when the two were teenagers. Chu Ye would go to the Educated Youth Courtyard to study every day after dinner. He often studied until late at night, when everything became quiet, and he would send Chu Ye home with a flashlight.
The dirt road in the countryside was not smooth, but the moon in the sky always shone brightly into people's hearts. He would secretly observe the girl around him with his peripheral vision, and became increasingly curious about why she was always so enthusiastic and powerful in studying.
And Chu Ye's answer was also very simple. She said that she wanted to get rid of the fate of marrying early and having children, and that she wanted to study hard and get out of the mountains by her own efforts. These words had a big impact on his soul. You know, the reason why he ignored his family His objection to coming to this remote mountainous area was actually because he was confused and couldn't find his direction in life at the time, and he wanted to come here to have more contact with people and the sophistication of the world so that he could see his own heart clearly.
And that night, when he heard Chu Ye's dream speech, he felt that his heart was also inspired, and some places that were obscured by the white fog gradually became clear.
His girl is such a strong girl who never talks about hard work. Only he knows how much she has paid to get into the Normal College, how many pen refills she has used up and how much blank paper she has written. He knows how difficult it is for her to remain the first in grade in the school for three years. , knowing how many questions she asked herself during the internship teaching in order to better teach the students.
But she never talks about hard work, she always smiles, accepts others' kindness and actively gives back. But now, the person who has always been strong and gritted her teeth from a small mountain village to the coastal city of Shenzhen collapsed in his arms. Crying loudly, like a crystal doll that fell into pieces all over the floor.
He felt equally bitter and shameless. When Chu Ye finally cried enough and vented all the grievances in his heart, he gently held Chu Ye's shoulders and moved her face away from her chest.
Sure enough, his face was red from crying again.
Mu Jiajun wiped away the tears on her face distressedly, but his throat was dry and he couldn't say a word of comfort. After a while, when Chu Ye's emotions had almost calmed down, he took Chu Ye's hand, and the two of them walked towards each other one after another. On the plastic sheet, Mu Jiajun squatted down and opened a corner. Inside, there was a frightening piece of white fish belly.
He closed it silently again, turned around and asked Chu Ye if he felt better after crying.
Chu Ye nodded slightly, and then said in a hoarse voice, "It's better, but..."
But what to do with the fish?
How could Mu Jiajun not understand her unfinished meaning? He led Chu Ye to the door of the small house. After learning that the house belonged to her, he pulled people into the house.
He first asked the question that mattered most to him, "When you said we wanted to break up, we broke up. I knew your intentions and agreed to it, but why didn't you say anything to me when you left school? I clearly told you before getting on the plane. Got your and my study address ”
Most of the suppressed emotions in Chu Ye's heart were gone after crying. When Leng Buding heard these words, she felt a little guilty. She unconsciously clasped her thumb with her index finger, "I didn't. I felt uncomfortable when I was fired. I accidentally Forgot you.”
"Ha!" Mu Jiajun gave a rare sneer. He pinched Chu Ye's cheek lightly, "I think you were not careless, but deliberately didn't want to contact me. I wrote to you as soon as I got to school, but I waited and waited. But when the envelope was returned unchanged, it was said that the person was not found.”
Chu Ye lowered his head with a guilty conscience. This incident should have coincided with the time when she was dismissed from school and went south directly. At the beginning, she was not sure what would happen when she came to Shenzhen, so even Mingzhu didn't know where she was going.
"...I'm sorry." After a while, Chu Ye made a muffled voice.
"Alas..." Mu Jiajun sighed, how could he really have the heart to blame her? Even if she really didn't contact him on purpose, let alone her reasons, he would still be searching for her all over the world.
Otherwise, what else can be done? I have loved this one all my life, let me pamper you.
The hand with clear knuckles moved from the cheek to the forehead, and he tapped it helplessly, saying, "If you hadn't written to Qiao Mingzhu, and I happened to be back in China, I wouldn't have known that you were so heartless as to come here."
Chu Ye still didn't look at him, and said "hmm" in a depressed voice for a long time.
Mu Jiajun stopped his hand, moved a stool and sat in front of the table. After asking Chu Ye, he took out pen and paper from the table. He sat upright, holding the pen, and his whole body suddenly changed. For a moment, Chu Ye seemed to be back to the girl who was "forced" to be immersed in the English environment.
Her eyes widened, and she didn't understand what he was trying to do. Mu Jiajun asked her question, "How many acres of fish ponds do you have now?"
"Two eight acres here, and another twelve acres not far away, a total of twenty acres." Chu Ye was puzzled, but answered honestly.
"Okay, how many fish are there in these twenty acres of fish pond?" Mu Jiajun took a pen to write on the paper, then raised his head and asked.
"It should be more than eleven thousand kilograms."
"Are all these fish frozen to death?" Mu Jiajun asked again.
"Well," Chu Ye felt heartbroken when this topic was brought up, but for the sake of rigor, she added, "I was too uncomfortable at the time and didn't go into the water to explore, but I guess herring and crabs should be able to survive. Both of them are relatively cold-resistant. .”
Mu Jiajun looked up at her. Hearing these words, he knew that she had indeed worked hard on raising fish.
He finally asked, "Except for you, how is the situation of other people's fish ponds? Have you ever asked?"
Chu Ye was not completely sure about this question. After careful consideration, she speculated, "There are also five or six fish farmers nearby. I usually don't have much contact with them, but when I knew that the cold wave was coming, I secretly visited several nearby fish ponds and found that their measures were similar to mine, so the situation must be the same.”
This was a cold wave that no one expected to be so severe. Everyone only knew that the cold wave was coming, and they made all the preparations they thought they could, but in the end it was all in vain.
Mu Jiajun nodded, and then continued to write and draw on the paper. He stopped writing for a moment and looked at Chu Ye seriously, making Chu Ye hallucinate the moment when he was staring at and asking questions when he was studying.
"...Now that things have happened, what we have to do is try to make up for it and minimize the fault." Mu Jiajun said.
"Yeah!" Chu Ye nodded.
"There are too many frozen fish. Even if they are sold at a low price, they will not be sold out in a short time. I checked the weather when I came here. This cold wave is not over yet and will probably continue. About a week." Mu Jiajun briefly analyzed the situation, and Chu Ye listened carefully, and his originally wandering mind gained a backbone and gradually settled down.
"These fish cannot be soaked in water. They need to be fished out and frozen as soon as possible to maintain their current condition and delay decay. Taking advantage of the cold wave, we freeze more ice cubes and build a simple cold storage." Mujia Shun said.
"Cold storage?" Chu Ye in front could understand it. She could probably guess what this cold storage was by the name.
"Well, a cold storage is not difficult to build. We just want to spend this period of time, so it is easier. But we need a lot of cotton and wooden boards. Oh, by the way, I think the plastic sheet on the fish pond is good. , that can be used too," Mu Jiajun continued.
Chu Ye pondered for a moment and understood what he meant. It was like those insulated boxes selling popsicles pushed on the roadside in the summer. There was a thick layer, often covered with quilts, for the purpose of insulating and keeping warm. Thinking of this , she asked aloud, "Cotton is hard to find, can quilts be used?"
"Of course." Mu Jiajun nodded.
Chu Ye also nodded, indicating that he understood, but another question surfaced again, "Then catching fish, freezing ice, and building cold storage are all to delay the rot of the fish. What happens after that? Just... Or sell them cheaply? Fish?”
"No! This cold wave is coming hard. Since everyone's fish have been frozen to death, there is no advantage in selling it at a low price at this time, so we don't sell frozen fish. We process the fish meat into fish balls and sell them overseas. !" Mu Jiajun said firmly, and in a few moments he thought about how to maximize the benefits.
An unprecedented idea was born! The advice provided by Mu Jiajun was like a burning flame in the darkness, bringing endless hope. Chu Ye's eyes widened, and he was also thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion in his mind. Finally, he came to the conclusion that this was the way to go. !
"Jiajun, you're great!" Chu Ye stood up in surprise, leaned over and gave him a big mouthful on the side of his face, as if a spark of fire was lit in his eyes!
Mu Jiajun smiled, smiling like the sun in June. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Chu Ye's head, and also placed a gentle kiss on her face.
"Since we have decided to do this, we need to prepare the necessary items as soon as possible and have enough manpower. Do you have any ideas?" Mu Jiajun left with a kiss and asked. He was not familiar with this place and could only provide ideas and specific details. How to do it depends on Chu Ye.
"Put it on me!" Chu Ye assured her with a pat on her chest. The spirit of a little white poplar returned to her body, and she looked as proud as a peacock.
When she asked people to build a dormitory behind the house, she built two rooms. Originally, Pan'er and Xiaoya had one room each, but they had to live together, so there happened to be an empty room.
"I'll go outside to collect items. You can look at the fish pond and the house at home. You can see how to build a cold storage." Chu Ye said with high spirits.
