Chapter 238 237. Xu Hongdou’s heart skipped a beat
Walking into the plum forest, there is a square table with a teapot brought by Aunt Feng from home and some paper cups.
There are also some straw hats in the bamboo basket, and there are several woven baskets next to it.
After helping Aunt Agui put away the things she had brought, several people chatted, laughed and clapped their hands.
"You have never done farm work. Don't pick too much in the basket on your back. It will easily tire your shoulders. If it feels heavy, just put it down quickly. I will really cause trouble for you."
After Aunt Feng finished speaking embarrassedly, Xu Hongdou smiled slightly: "Aunt Feng, we will do it, don't worry."
"Don't worry, Aunt Feng, leave it to us here." Mr. Ma looked at the woven basket on the ground and looked at it curiously: "Aunt Feng, you knitted all this? You are very skillful with your hands."
"Oh, I just made it up casually when I have free time. Then you should work first and don't get tired." Aunt Feng was a little embarrassed.
These bamboo baskets, woven baskets, and straw hats were all made by her and her wife and sold for money.
Now that people come to help, it is impossible for others to prepare these things for work.
She sincerely thanked Xu Hongdou and others for coming, but there were not many places to express her gratitude.
"Okay, A Feng. Let these young people stay here while we go over there." Aunt A Gui said and pulled Aunt Feng towards the forest. When passing by Xu Hongdou, she did not forget to tell her.
road:
"Hongdou, you have to put on your clothes. The sun is poisonous and won't tan you."
Xu Hongdou nodded sheepishly: "Don't worry, Aunt Agui, we all brought sunscreen."
"That's good, otherwise your Wen Tao would feel bad, right?"
After saying that, she smiled and pulled Aunt Feng into the plum forest.
As soon as she separated from these young people, the smile on her face disappeared, she also let go of Aunt Feng's hand, and said to herself:
"I'm not here to make peace with you. Aquarius can't drive a tricycle, so I'm just here to help."
Aunt Feng glanced at the other party and said, "Thank you."
"Hey, the sun is coming out from the west. I think I heard someone saying thank you to me." After hearing this, Aunt Agui still had an attitude of refusing to admit defeat, but her face turned into a smile again.
"It's true that you two are so old, and you still act like you did when you were young."
When Aunt Baoping saw the two people walking over, they looked like this again and said jokingly.
Aunt Feng looked at Aunt Agui next to her and said proactively: "Why did you bring the food here so early? It's still some time before noon, and I also make some at home."
"Ah Feng, you don't understand this. Young people like them have never been on the ground. If you don't prepare more, you will be hungry when the time comes. What you have done will not be enough. Baoping,
You said what I said, right?"
"Ah, that's what happened."
Aunt Baoping nodded, came to Aunt Feng and said, "Well, thank you to Agui for her thoughtfulness. I just helped her, and she cooked all the dishes."
"this…"
"Didn't you tell me thank you for all this? I just think you are working too hard and you have a heart disease..."
…
On Xu Hongdou's side, several people with baskets on their backs and straw hats had already started picking.
The method of picking plums is very simple, just pull the green fruits off the branches and put them in a woven basket.
This repetitive movement will not be tiring at first, but as the weight of the basket increases, the movement of raising the arms will gradually become sluggish.
Hu Youyu performed well as always. For a person like him who lacked exercise in his limbs, this kind of physical labor meant that even if he had the intention to do it well, in the eyes of others, he was just a slow grinder.
Ma Ye, his co-star, didn't dislike it either, and he didn't expect it in the first place.
Nana, Damai, and Xu Hongdou were in charge of a fruit tree. They cooperated very well, talking and laughing on their own.
"Oh, you all did it."
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."
While everyone was busy, the voices of Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin came from the door of Meizilin, and they walked in quickly holding a pile of sun protection clothing and a package.
"Come on, come on, put on these clothes and ice sleeves first." Huang Xinxin walked at the front, greeting everyone.
Seeing them coming, everyone temporarily put down their work.
Several women were a little excited about the things Huang Xinxin brought. Although they applied sunscreen, the sun is so poisonous. If you get sunburned after working for a day, you will inevitably...
After taking the things from Huang Xinxin, Nana asked with concern: "What are you and Mr. Xie doing?"
"The two of us..." Huang Xinxin paused and looked to Xie Zhiyao who was handing out sun protection clothes and ice sleeves to Hu Youyu and Ma Ye.
His expression was a bit awkward, and he didn't know whether he should say anything.
Xie Zhiyao pursed his lips slightly and said to them: "It's about the B&B. Lao Li, who built the B&B, came back, but he didn't dare to go back to the village, so he made an appointment with Xinxin and me to have a chat."
"Does he still have the nerve to come back?" Hu Youyu blurted out after hearing this.
Others also turned their attention to Xie Zhiyao. In the past, this middle-aged entrepreneur always showed his hearty smile to others. There was a little hesitation in his eyebrows. Everyone just went to change clothes and wear ice sleeves, so they didn't notice it.
"Don't say that." Xie Zhiyao lowered his eyes and explained, "He also has difficulties, and he has no choice but to deal with the B&B. This matter..."
"Mr. Xie, is it difficult for him to have trouble with you?"
After changing, Nana interrupted Xie Zhiyao's words and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Look at you...and Xinxin, both of them are so worried while busying themselves with his affairs.
As a result, when he came back, he didn’t dare to come forward to solve the problem. Did he want to withdraw his capital and then blame the matter on you?"
"That's right, you and Xinxin worked voluntarily for a long time, and ended up being left alone. If not Mr. Xie, what are you trying to do? Xinxin is at least..."
Hu Youyu chatted, and halfway through speaking, he saw the indignation in Huang Xinxin's eyes and closed his mouth.
Although his relationship with Xie Zhiyao could not be said to be very good, he could still be regarded as one of his own in front of outsiders. Seeing that one of his own had been wronged because of outsiders, he couldn't help but want to say a few words.
But this statement... makes sense.
"Sister Xinxin, Lao Hu didn't mean that."
Damai beside Huang Xinxin also heard the ambiguity in Hu Youyu's words. He quickly pulled Huang Xinxin's arm, feeling a little nervous for no reason.
At this moment, she glared at Hu Youyu who looked embarrassed.
"No...no, Xinxin, what I mean is..." Hu Youyu wanted to explain, but looked at a few people awkwardly.
"It's okay, that's not why I'm angry." Huang Xinxin pursed her lips and continued following what Xie Zhiyao had just finished:
"Actually, Lao Li can't be blamed for this. His wife suddenly got bone cancer, and then his family found out. He suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction and was admitted to the ICU..."
"cancer…"
When Xu Hongdou heard about this disease, he was startled and his heart skipped a beat.
Looking at the hesitant Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin, who became increasingly sad as he talked, he sighed softly and bit his lower lip, not knowing what to say.
The colors in my eyes have also become much darker.
In the morning, my heart, which was still filled with joy because of the meaning revealed in Zhang Wentao's words last night, seemed to be affected.
Which will come first, the accident or tomorrow?
As she thought, she couldn't help but turn her head to the direction of the ancient town.
It seems that it is not impossible to be earlier...
