The next day, after Xiang Jin and the others paid for the 400 sets of goods, she first gave Yan Chen's share to him, and then took out another 200 yuan for herself to use for payment after returning.
The payment for the stone was made, and the rest was deposited in the bank.
However, as soon as she and Yan Chen got into the car, someone greeted her, "Xiang Jin, are you going to the show today?"
Xiang Jin raised her head and saw a young man with a black face and Chinese characters sitting next to him. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a moment, so she was a little stunned.
The other party looked at the smile on her face, and Xiang Jin nodded slightly towards him.
Although Xiang Jin didn't remember who the black-faced boy was, Yan Chen did. He remembered it from the time he was in the bookstore. Song Kaiyan from the sixth team of the tenth team was from the second class next door to Xiang Jin and others at that age.
This was how he introduced himself to Xiang Jin at that time, so he remembered it word for word.
"Let's go," Yan Chen put the backpack in front of him and told her to go inside, there was an empty spot there.
"oh!"
Xiang Jin walked inside and walked to the middle row, where there happened to be two empty seats. Then she sat down in the innermost clinical seat, and Yan Chen sat down in the seat next to her.
The black-faced boy turned his head and looked at them.
Xiang Jin didn't look at him and looked directly out the window.
The conductor came over to collect the money, and the black-faced boy quickly handed over a piece, then pointed at Xiang Jin and said, "Hers, I'll give it to her!"
The conductor was stunned for a moment, and Yan Chen handed over two dollars directly, "We are together."
The conductor was a little hesitant, who was charging this?
At this time, Xiang Jin looked away from the window, and then said to the conductor, "Take it from him."
The one she gestured to was Yan Chen.
She is now very familiar with Yan Chen, so they don't care who pays the fare for whom.
The conductor reached out and took the money from Yan Chen's hand, and then gave them two tickets.
The corners of Yan Chen's mouth turned up, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
The black-faced boy looked slightly embarrassed, and in the end he had to take the dollar back with a smile.
After a while, he turned around again and asked Xiang Jin, "Xiang Jin, who is this?"
What he looked at was Yan Chen.
Yan Chen raised his head, glanced at him faintly, and then faintly uttered two words, "Yan Chen."
Xiang Jin added, "My friend!"
"Friend?" The dark-faced boy suddenly raised his voice, seemingly surprised, but when he saw everyone in the car looking at him, a look of shame and irritation suddenly appeared on his face.
But after a while, he softened his tone again, seeming to be talking to himself, "Oh, friend?"
Xiang Jin didn't say a word, and Yan Chen didn't say a word either. Instead, they both looked out the window, and the dark-faced boy had a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, the dark-faced boy suddenly raised his head and said, "Xiang Jin, what are you doing today?"
The two of them looked away from the window, then looked at the black-faced boy, and Xiang Jin answered his question with a slight "Ah".
Then the black-faced boy seemed to explain why he was rushing to the market, "We have a guest today, and my mother asked me to go to the market to cut some meat."
"Yeah," Xiang Jin nodded slightly.
"Xiang Jin, I heard that your family is building a house now. Is it true?" the young man asked again.
"Well, it's true."
"So building houses is very popular now, right? What have you built?"
"It's okay, but you have to ask the craftsmen whether it's hot or not, I don't know."
At this moment, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky, and then everyone unanimously turned their attention to the window. They saw a strong wind outside the window, and black clouds had rolled up in the sky not far away.
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and said, "It's probably going to rain."
Yan Chen nodded in agreement, "It seems so."
"What should we do if we don't bring an umbrella?"
Yan Chen said, "I hope it won't rain before we get home."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's all we can do. It seems that we should bring more umbrellas when we go out in the future."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Indeed, if you plan ahead, nothing bad will happen."
"yes!"
Suddenly, Yan Chen asked, "Have you taken the oilcloth you bought before and put it up over there in the shed?"
"Well, we got it. Yesterday at noon, my uncle and the others came back for lunch, and then they took them over to get it," Xiang Jin nodded.
The corner of Yan Chen's lips curled up, "If it starts to rain today, I'll buy that oilcloth in time."
"that is!"
"Xiang Jin, I'll get off here. It's closer to where we are when we get off the bay." After a while, when the car drove to the entrance of Liujiawan, the black-faced boy lifted a meat bag from the seat.
He stood up and said goodbye to Xiang Jin.
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin nodded slightly, and the black-faced boy got out of the car.
The faster the black cloud came, the faster it went. When Xiang Jin and Yan Chen got off the car at Zaoerya, the wind outside had already picked up, and the blazing sun was shining in the sky again.
, the rain did not fall after all.
"Worrying was in vain," Xiang Jin said.
The corners of Yan Chen's lips curled up slightly, "Do you want it to rain, or don't you want it to rain?"
Xiang Jin said, "Half and half, I hope it will rain because it hasn't rained here for a long time, and the weather has been so hot. I hope it will cool down a little after it rains."
I don't want it to rain because we didn't bring an umbrella today. You said it would rain so suddenly, and it's still such a long way from our home, and there's no one to shelter from the wind and rain along the way.
When we got off the bus, we would be soaked in the rain, which would be very embarrassing.
So, perhaps what I hope for is to wait until we get home before it rains heavily, so that the ground can be penetrated and the crops can absorb more water."
"Yeah, it's true that it hasn't rained for a long time."
The two were walking by the small river at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly a large wave of waves splashed up from the water and hit them. Xiang Jin was startled. Yan Chen quickly pulled her behind him, and then
He just stared at the river.
Xiang Jin was still in shock when he saw one blue-gray, one black and red, two big snakes about two meters long and as thick as an adult's wrist quickly jumped out of the water, and then quickly swam towards the rice field on one side.
passed.
"Snake," Xiang Jin's face suddenly turned blue with fright. He didn't even have much strength to speak, and his feet couldn't even take a step. They felt as heavy as lead, and as if they were filled with strong glue.
It's like it's stuck together.
Yan Chen quickly supported her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, she has already swam away."
It took Xiang Jin a while to regain his composure, and then Yan Chen held her arm and walked forward. They walked for nearly ten minutes before Xiang Jin spoke.
"Yan Chen, do you know? I was scared to death just now. I have never seen such a big snake in real life, and there were two of them. What do you think we should do if we are bitten by them?" This is still her.
The first time I saw it here, it was absolutely terrifying.
Yan Chen continued to comfort her and said, "No, as the saying goes, snakes don't hurt and tigers don't bite. As long as we don't provoke them, they won't hurt us.
Maybe it was because it was too hot, so they were bathing in the river, and then they happened to meet us."
"Is that so?" Xiang Jin was dubious.
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, although snakes are cold-blooded animals, they will also dislike the heat if the weather is dry for too long. In fact, animals are similar to humans. They all have sharp sensory systems, and some are even better than humans.
It’s still developed.”
"I know that, like a bat."
"right!"
The two walked to the mouth of the bay talking, and then Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin, "How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
"Well, it's much better," Xiang Jin nodded heavily, "As soon as I saw the familiar environment, it seemed that the fear just now suddenly alleviated a lot."
Yan Chen said, "It will be better if you go back and sleep."
Xiang Jin said, "How can that be possible? There are still so many goods waiting to be made."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. I'll make those goods. You can go back and rest for a while."
Xiang Jin said, "That's not possible. There are so many goods, how can I let you do it all by yourself? I said I would increase the share for you but you disagreed. Didn't you deliberately make me feel bad?
"
Yan Chen smiled, "How is that possible? If you really feel sorry for yourself, then when you are free, you can make us some braised vegetables to eat. My grandpa likes the braised vegetables you make very much."
Xiang Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, what's so difficult about this?"
