…
dusk.
An orange glow appeared on the horizon.
After talking with Amo, Bai Yan left in a hurry.
Because Amo gave him a contact number for Lu Tingfeng, the person in charge of Mochen in the north, and told him to go directly to Lu Tingfeng to talk.
As for Liu Jing, he probably wanted to stay, but after receiving a phone call, he said goodbye to Gu Yu and the others and left in a hurry.
now--
Amo, Shixia, and Guyu strolled along the pedestrian street in Shichahai.
Following behind, Ah Chen, while making a phone call, savored the leisurely pace of old Beijing while also feeling the pulse of the city.
"Brother, we'll be on holiday in half a month! Are you still in Xiangxi?"
This is Duoduo's voice.
Ah Chen hasn't seen his younger sister, Duo Duo, for almost four months.
He was thinking to himself!
He stood in the crowd, gazing at the shimmering surface of Shichahai Lake.
Looking at the boats and lotus flowers on the lake--
And the riverside alleys, unique shops and restaurants--
I couldn't help but think: Duoduo has never been to Yanjing before, I should find a chance to bring her here to have some fun.
Unfortunately, time didn't allow it this time.
But the sunset here is truly beautiful.
From this location, Yinding Bridge is just 400 meters ahead.
A few minutes later, we arrived at Ah Chen's house.
When Achen heard Duoduo's voice, his gaze naturally fell on the direction of the courtyard house prepared for Duoduo.
“Brother, I heard from Grandma that the poor areas in western Hunan are very poor, and the better areas are slightly better. Since you have cell phone signal, you must be in a good Miao village.”
Duo Duo's voice came through again.
Now, Ah Chen was even more concerned. He said softly, "Brother isn't in Xiangxi right now. He and your sister-in-law came to Yanjing two days ago."
"Brother, you went to Yanjing?"
"Yes! Your sister-in-law is getting her certificate, and your brother is accompanying her."
"Brother, I know that Yanjing is the heart of our Great Xia. After you finish your work in Yanjing, will you come back?"
Duoduo misses her brother very much.
Ah Chen said, "After you finish your work in Yanjing, you'll have to go to Hong Kong. You'll be busy there too!"
"Brother, are you going to stay up all night again?"
In Duoduo's memory, her brother would stay up all night whenever he went to the port city.
"This time it won't be a complete all-nighter! Duo, after the holiday starts, is there anywhere you want to go?"
“I don’t know, brother. Teacher Shen said that this holiday is two months long, so I want to go to Zi Miao to study for a month, and I can do something else for the remaining month.”
After a pause, Duoduo continued, "Brother, today I went to the fruit shop down the mountain to help the older brothers and sisters pack the fruit, but the uncles wouldn't let me do it."
"Is it very heavy? They won't let you do it!"
"It's not heavy, I can carry it! The uncles said that all the other men and women who came to do it were temporary, so I..."
Ah Chen understands!
When the orchards are busy, the young women and Miao men who come back on weekends can work at the fruit processing points, earning money by the piece and being paid accordingly.
This will not only alleviate their financial burden, but also let them know that if they don't study and learn, they will suffer even more in the future.
Duoduo can do it, and Achen doesn't object.
But how could the uncles and aunties in the grove let Duoduo, a little girl, do it, since it's all physical labor?
"Duo, of course the uncles won't make it for you!"
"Why, brother—"
“Our Duoduo will be helping her brother manage a larger business in the future. The uncles are just afraid of wasting your time.”
"ah?"
Duoduo exclaimed in surprise from the other end!
The Miao men and women inside the house held their breath when they heard Duoduo tell Brother Chen that her uncle down the mountain wouldn't let her work.
At this moment, both A-mei and Miao Lang were thinking:
If this complaint is taken to Brother Chen, what if he gets angry?
Even Aruo from Lanmiao held his breath when he got close to Duoduo.
Aruo didn't want to hear the content of Duoduo and Brother Chen's conversation; she wanted to hear Brother Chen's voice.
She hadn't heard it in a long time.
"But brother, I've finished all my homework, and it's all correct! And I know all the books I brought back from Hong Kong too. I just want to do something—"
"Duo! If you want to do it, go to the Starry Sky Fruit Forest. Didn't Brother set up a separate grove of fruit trees? Go over there."
"whee--"
Duoduo finally smiled.
"Brother, I'll go in a bit. By the way, brother, Lan Miao and Aruo are with me, so you don't need to worry."
"Got it! Be careful yourselves."
"Yes! Brother, you should stay up less late and remember to eat on time. Don't keep skipping meals, or my little nephew will never be able to get out."
Forehead--
Little Miao nephew?
Duo Duo's overflowing care touched A Chen deeply.
…
A few minutes later, the call was disconnected.
Ah Chen's mind was filled with images of Duo Duo's fair and clean little face.
Thinking that if this year's holiday is long, after she finishes learning the secret arts with Zi Miao, she should bring her along if she wants to go out and play.
I miss her!
Ah Chen walked and thought, while ahead--
Amo and her friends, who were about ten meters apart, started laughing, no one knew what they were talking about.
Each of the three women held a glass of freshly squeezed juice.
At this moment, we have already crossed the Silver Ingot Bridge.
Shi Xia said, "Mo Mo, let's just eat something casually outside. It's too much trouble for you to cook at home."
"No trouble at all, you can help me with this."
