"I heard it, I heard it."
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
The girl who spoke first lowered her voice mysteriously: "Last time, I saw a man looking for the widow of the Lin family. This time, I saw a man again! Judging by his dress, he didn't look like a country man, but like a city man. , he should still be a wealthy person.”
"City people? But what do those people in the city want her for?"
"Who knows, maybe he is the child's biological father?"
Lin Yuchun's origin has always been a mystery. No one knows her past. She is like a dandelion floating in the sky, quietly landing in Qingshan Village and quietly taking root.
She doesn't usually interact with others much. Hua Cui is still on good terms with her and has the closest contact with her.
The round-faced girl shook her head and said, "No way. If the child is really the biological father, how come she lives in our village? The shabby house she lives in leaks every time it rains, so she can't live in it."
"Maybe she's a relative. I've seen a woman come to see her, and she doesn't look like a local."
"Hey, so who is she?"
"Who knows."
"He must be some powerful big shot."
“But it doesn’t look like it.”
Hua Cui listened carefully to the gossips of these girls. Her curiosity was peaked. Has anyone from outside come looking for Lin Yuchun?
Who is she?
Hua Cui felt that Lin Yuchun was mysterious, maybe a person who pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger, but she was not prepared to wade into this muddy water.
Hua Cui didn't know how many times she had given the revised design to Lin Yuchun, "Look, there is no problem this time, right?"
Lin Yuchun looked at the design drawings Huacui handed her. She didn't show it on her face, but she was still surprised and envious for a few seconds. She was making rapid progress, faster than she imagined.
"Well, it's not bad." He looked reserved on the surface.
Hua Cui pursed her lips: "Tsk, complimenting me a few times is like killing you."
She took back the blueprint, stretched out her hands and violently kneaded it into a ball of paper, then threw it into the pile of firewood as if it were waste paper.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
"Leave it for you to light your fire."
Lin Yuchun glared at her: "Who asked you this? Why did you throw away such a good design?"
Xiao Cui heard Hua Cui's voice in the house and staggered toward her with her arms outstretched. She was still unsteady when walking. Hua Cui hugged her and reached out to pinch her round nose.
"Are you good? Have you been obedient recently? It's useless if I want it. It's just a piece of waste paper."
The last sentence was in reply to Lin Yuchun.
"What kind of waste paper, didn't you design it with all your hard work?" Lin Yuchun's face was distorted, which was really annoying.
God chased me to feed him, but she kicked the rice bowl away. Not only did she kick it away, she also stepped on it several times.
"I just want to prove that I have the ability to do it, and I am not responsible for the subsequent development."
Lin Yuchun: "."
Just asking if you are angry or not, God is really unfair.
"Hey, come and see, Xiao Cui has so many teeth." Hua Cui stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Cui's cheeks like she was observing a small animal. She looked up and down as if she had discovered some new world.
"Children grow up very fast, so what's the fuss?" Lin Yuchun was still staring at the pile of firewood in a daze.
Xiao Cui didn't get angry when her face was pinched, she still giggled stupidly. She imitated Hua Cui's movements and reached out to make trouble on her face.
Hua Cui pretended to be fierce: "Don't move. If you move again, I'll throw you to your mother. I won't hug you anymore."
Xiao Cui smiled even more happily in her arms.
Lin Yuchun looked at the commotion in front of him, and asked without giving up: "You really don't want to follow me? Are you willing to stay here?"
"Give up, I'm the one you can't get."
"." Lin Yuchun muttered, "What's so good about this place? If it were me, I wouldn't leave anything behind."
Hua Cui didn't tell her that she was going to take the college entrance examination. She guessed that Lin Yuchun must have her own reasons and had no choice but to stay in Qingshan Village. She flicked Xiao Cui's forehead.
"Then just take her with you. The sky is as high as the birds can fly, and the sea is as wide as the fish can jump."
Lin Yuchun smiled slightly and looked at Xiaocui without saying anything.
She whispered: "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."
"Okay." Hua Cui waved her hand casually.
Lin Yuchun stopped talking, and Hua Cui played with Xiao Cui for a while. It was estimated that it was almost time. At this time, Li Guifang had already prepared the meal and was waiting for it to be served. She stood up to leave.
"I'll give it to you."
Lin Yuchun didn't know why she was in a daze. Hua Cui said it twice before she came back to her senses.
"No need, you are very enthusiastic today, well, you are weird~" Lin Yuchun's expression froze, and she felt guilty. Hua Cui smiled and said, "But it's useless no matter how much you try to please me, I will always be what you can't get." ”
Lin Yuchun: "Forget it, you'd better leave quickly."
Hua Cui left humming a song randomly and stepped out of the yard. Lin Yuchun suddenly said from behind: "If we start from the same place, you are no worse than me."
"?"
Hua Cui reacted for a while before she understood what Lin Yuchun was talking about. She continued to pout, bah, you can't even praise others.
What a guy without emotional intelligence.
At that time, Hua Cui was still dissing Lin Yuchun's low emotional intelligence, but she suddenly received a big surprise. She turned around and just wanted to slap her on the forehead.
It turns out that she is the one with no IQ!
Lin Yuchun left.
Gone quietly.
No one knows where she went or when she left.
Hua Cui had not seen Lin Yuchun since they separated that day, which was not surprising. The two did not meet every day until Li Guifang asked Hua Cui to send her a bag of green chili peppers.
The peppers grown in the yard are all ripe and growing so happily that they can't finish them all. Li Guifang pities Lin Yuchun for her orphans and widowed mothers, and takes more care of them.
Hua Cui came to the door carrying peppers. The door was unlocked, so she pushed the door open and went in. Xiao Cui was sitting alone on a small bench, grabbing something in her hand and trying to put it in her mouth.
"Oh, I put everything in my mouth. I'm so greedy." Hua Cui quickly snatched the cold corn cob from her hand and threw it away, "Where is your mother?"
The house was deserted inside and outside, and there was no one around. Hua Cui suddenly had a bad feeling: "Lin Yuchun! Lin Yuchun!"
The stove was cold and things were arranged neatly, but it looked like no one had cooked in days.
The mattresses were all still there, and Xiao Cui's clothes were neatly folded on the bed, separated for winter and summer. The only thing missing was Lin Yuchun's own things.
Hua Cui roughly checked several rooms. She didn't take anything she could not bring, but only took away some necessary items.
At first glance, it seems that it has been planned for a long time. Hua Cui accepted this fact expressionlessly. She stood in the middle of the room, but she still couldn't help but grit her teeth and uttered a curse word.
She's so good! punishment!
Xiao Cui didn't know what happened yet, so she didn't cry or make a fuss. She held the door frame and looked at Hua Cui eagerly. When she saw her looking over, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, and then opened her arms.
This means to hug.
Huacui didn't hug her, but looked straight past her, her eyes falling on the window sill beside her, where a crumpled paper ball was pressed with a stone.
It looked familiar, it was the design she had crumpled into a ball and thrown away.
Hua Cui shook the ball of paper and turned it over. The dark patch on the back was written by Lin Yuchun to her.
After reading it, Hua Cui said another dirty word.
She didn't even know what to say.
She had always been the only one who tried to trick others, but she didn't expect that she would capsize in the gutter today and be tricked.
"Your mother doesn't want you anymore, and she's still laughing!"
Xiao Cui raised her little head and stared at Hua Cui with a smile. She didn't understand. She only knew that Hua Cui wouldn't hurt her, so she grabbed her sticky legs and wanted to hug her.
"Hold your head and go away!"
What else can Huacui do? You can't really leave people in an empty yard to fend for themselves.
She carried the chili pepper in one hand and Xiaocui by the collar with the other hand and carried it back to Zhao's house.
When Li Guifang saw that she had brought back a small one, she didn't think much about it. She just thought she was bringing Xiaocui here to play: "Hey, come on, come on, let your mother-in-law take a look."
While hugging Xiaocui, she asked Huacui: "What, she took it away? We can't finish it, so let her be polite, we have a lot of peppers."
Hua Cui looked at the happy scene between Li Guifang and Xiao Cui and was silent for a moment: "No, she is gone."
"Huh?"
"She left, ran away, I don't know where she went."
Li Guifang looked at Xiaocui blankly: "Then, then she..."
"Stop calling me mother-in-law, call me grandma."
Li Guifang: "..."
Li Guifang was so frightened that she quickly handed Xiao Cui back to Hua Cui like a hot potato.
Hua Cui was also confused: "Don't give it to me. What should I do with this child?"
"What should I do? If you are not a relative or an acquaintance, why would you give me a chili out of kindness and pick up a child for free? There is no such logic in the world!"
"Anyway, her mother ran away, and she is the only one left. Otherwise, I will take her back. Life or death depends on her destiny."
Of course Li Guifang stopped her: "Isn't that murder? Such a small child will starve to death without food or water."
"Then stay?" Hua Cui knew that Li Guifang would not really throw the person back.
"What the hell..." Li Guifang smacked her thigh sadly, regretting that she had asked Huacui to deliver the chili peppers. She didn't know how good it would have been. If she saw it and ignored her, her conscience wouldn't let her go.
"She must be hungry too. Let her have a full meal first. We will discuss where this child will go when your father and others come back."
Hua Cui had no objection: "Okay."
"Really ran away?"
"Why are you lying to me? I went to see him, and he didn't leave any information. He didn't say where he was going or what to do with the child."
Hua Cui kept the matter of the paper ball a secret, and that bastard Lin Yuchun wrote it to her as if he guessed that she would be the first to discover it.
She didn't say anything else, just that she was leaving Qingshan Village. She had more important things to do, and she still had unfinished dreams.
As for Xiao Cui, Lin Yuchun said frankly that if Hua Cui likes her, let her be her daughter, and she will never come to snatch her away later. If Hua Cui doesn't like it, let her help take care of her for a few years. She doesn't have the energy to take care of the child. Wait until everything is settled. After getting on the right track, she will contact you again later.
If neither of them were willing, Lin Yuchun didn't blame anyone. She just asked Hua Cui to try her best to find a good place for Xiao Cui for the sake of the two of them. It would be enough for her to have enough food and clothing.
Of course, Lin Yuchun painted a cake for her again, saying that a drop of kindness was repaid by a spring of water. He also said that she would never forget to repay this kindness, and if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can go to her.
At the end of the paper, she attached an address where she could be contacted, and also praised her as a talented and smart child with a bright future.
:)
Li Guifang sighed beside her: "What a sin, the child is still so young..."
Xiao Cui is good-natured. If Hua Cui doesn't hug her, she will find a small bench by herself and sit quietly. She is so sensible that Li Guifang becomes a little soft-hearted.
When Zhao Qiming came back from working in the fields, he found that the house was eerily quiet. Hua Cui looked at him and said, "Congratulations, you may be going to be a father."
Zhao Qiming's heart suddenly hung in his throat: "Dangdang, daddy?"
