Having almost digested her emotions, Chen Jiao gently pushed the man away, "Okay, let's go to the master quickly and don't let the old man wait too long."
Lu Zhengxu curled up the corners of his lips, his eyes and eyebrows revealing joy as he sat on the bicycle.
Just as Chen Jiao was about to sit on the back of the bicycle, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and stared at Lu Zhengxu sharply, "Is this the only thing you hid from me this morning? Nothing else?"
Lu Zhengxu tightened his grip on the bicycle handlebars subconsciously, "No, nothing else."
Chen Jiao's pair of wise fox eyes narrowed slightly again.
When Lu Zhengxu turned thirty, he experienced for the first time what it felt like to feel guilty.
But his professional training made him look at Chen Jiao with extraordinary calmness, without blushing or beating his heart.
Chen Jiao dispelled the doubts in her heart and sat on the bicycle.
When the two arrived at the commune clinic, they found it was full of wounded people and Mr. Xu was busy as a madman.
After asking, Lu Zhengxu found out that today, members of two production teams had an argument over a trivial matter, which eventually developed into a gang fight with weapons, resulting in many injuries.
Mr. Xu was busy treating and bandaging everyone's injuries.
Seeing Chen Jiao and Lu Zhengxu coming, Old Xu took the time to wipe the sweat off his forehead and said, "Girl, I don't have time to take you to see the old woman today.
Then you just need to go to Xishan Village and ask someone about the way there. ”
Chen Jiao nodded, "Okay, then Mr. Xu, you go ahead and do your work, we can go there by ourselves."
Chen Jiao and Lu Zhengxu asked all the way to Xishan Village, and Chen Jiao asked the villagers about where Old Mrs. Huang lived.
When the villagers heard who they were asking, they looked at them warily and strangely, "Who are you? What do you want to see Old Lady Huang for?"
Chen Jiao said with a smile: “Uncle, my family lives in Dajiang Village, and Grandma Huang is my husband’s distant aunt.
We just found out two days ago that she was the only one left at home, so we thought of going to see her. ”
The uncle opposite looked her up and down and said, "I don't think you two are bad people. Old Mrs. Huang lives at the end of our village. If you follow this road and walk to the woods at the foot of the mountain, you will see a half-collapsed thatched house, which is her home.
But I have to remind you that Mrs. Huang has a bad background and is now crazy. If you want to go find her, you have to be careful. ”
Shen Jiao thanked the uncle and walked to the end of the village with Lu Zhengxu.
The two men walked into the woods at the end of the village. Just as they saw the half-collapsed thatched house that the villagers mentioned, something flew towards them in the air.
Lu Zhengxu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He put one hand around Chen Jiao's slender waist, and dodged to the side in a flash.
The thing that flew towards them hit a tree trunk with a "bang".
Chen Jiao looked over subconsciously and saw the thing sliding down the tree trunk, leaving a line of yellow marks on the trunk.
As the foul smell spread through the air, Shen Jiao instantly realized what it was, and her stomach churned.
At the same time, the old lady's sharp curse came into my ears, "You bastards, I wonder who dares to criticize me.
If you dare to criticize me, I will kill you. Anyway, I am only one person and I am not afraid of you!
Come on, come on! Eat shit, you guys! ”
Just as Shen Jiao was about to speak, a pile of feces flew past them again.
Chen Jiao: ...
She was glad that Lu Zhengxu came with her today, otherwise she would probably be covered in shit by now.
Whether the old lady went to the restaurant before or went to their house yesterday, her clothes were always clean.
She thought the old lady was just a little bit arrogant, but she didn't expect her to be so tough and unrefined.
Chen Jiao was afraid that the old lady would throw stink bombs at them again, so she quickly spoke up, “Master, it’s me.”
The old lady just came out of the woods at this time, glanced at the two of them, and said lightly: "Oh, you still remember to come?
I thought you were a forgetful person and treated yesterday's apprenticeship as nothing! ”
As the old lady spoke, she took off the glove-like thing on her right hand and threw it aside, then she walked slowly into the shabby thatched house with her hands behind her back.
Chen Jiao touched her pretty nose angrily and followed.
"Have you brought all the ingredients?"
The old lady asked as soon as Shen Jiao entered the room.
Chen Jiao: ...
After get off work today, she was so busy teaching the man a lesson that she actually forgot to prepare the ingredients.
The old lady stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes and snorted coldly, "What's the matter? Nowadays, everyone is hungry, and you follow me to learn skills, and you still want to eat and drink for free?"
Chen Jiao: ...
She had plenty of ingredients and other things in her space, but now she couldn't take them out in front of the old lady and Lu Zhengxu!
Suddenly, I felt powerless, as if I had returned empty-handed after spending all my money.
She could only say weakly: "Master, this is my first day here. I have no experience and am not fully prepared. I will come back tomorrow with full preparation."
After that, she asked tentatively: "Master, today I..."
She was halfway through her words when the old lady's sword-like gaze instantly locked onto her, "What, you don't want to learn anymore?"
Chen Jiao: ...
"think!"
The old lady pointed to a pile of leaves in the corner and said, "Go and chop those leaves. Make sure they are evenly thick and not thicker than a hair."
As the old lady spoke, she put her hands behind her back and went into the inner room, leaving Chen Jiao alone facing the pile of leaves.
The leaves are from a white flower tree. They are thick and hard, with a smooth oil film on the surface. They need to be cut steadily and evenly into pieces thinner than a hair...
Chen Jiao felt a little sorry for her hand...
But you have to do it even if it hurts. People have to work hard for their dreams while they are alive, otherwise what’s the difference between them and salted fish.
When Lu Zhengxu heard the old lady say that she wanted to cut those leaves, his first reaction was to feel sorry for his wife, and he even wanted to persuade Chen Jiao not to learn it.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
When he told Chen Jiao today not to go to work, there was obvious rejection and disdain in Chen Jiao's eyes.
Although she is willing to rely on him, she will not rely on him completely. She longs to have her own career.
He felt that as a husband, he should support her, just as she supported him, rather than becoming a stumbling block in her pursuit of her ideals in life.
