Chapter 74
Early the next morning.
Bi Chunliu opened the window and felt the dampness of the wind. It really had rained last night. She'd heard the sound of dripping rain. She took a deep breath. Hmm, the air was thick with the fresh scent of earth and the large tree in the yard. It smelled so good...
I quietly got up and went outside to see that it was only half past five! No wonder there was no movement in the courtyard.
Could it be that I can’t sleep at my age?
After opening the door and going to the bathroom, Bi Chunliu came back and prepared to put the batter on before washing up. She wanted to eat omelets, so she would make breakfast today.
Weiguo had been making breakfast lately, and the food at home was pretty much the same. In the morning, besides porridge with pickles, she'd eat steamed bread and cornmeal pancakes. She couldn't even eat eggs often. Thinking about how many more years it would take before she could eat whatever she wanted again made her mouth sour!
So greedy!
Bi Weiguo and the other two got up. The four of them sat down at the table, each eating a bite of egg pancake, a small piece of pickled vegetable, and a mouthful of porridge. Bi Chunliu sighed, feeling that there was still hope.
"Sister, our teacher said that the final exams will be at the end of the month, and we will have a holiday on the 10th of next month, haha!!" Bi Qiuguo was very happy.
Bi Weiguo was also happy, because the holidays meant graduation. He was finally going to graduate and finally didn’t have to go to school anymore!!!
"Okay, then you guys do well in the exam." Bi Chunliu then urged Bi Weiguo, "Do your best and don't do as badly as you did in your last exam at school."
Bi Weiguo: "I understand..."
After telling the three children about some rewards for doing well in their exams, Bi Chunliu prepared to go to work. She had cooked today and didn't have to wash the dishes, so she could just wipe her mouth and go out.
When she went out, she happened to meet Nie Xiangbei. When Nie Xiangbei saw Bi Chunliu at work, he greeted her so enthusiastically for the first time.
"Sister Chunliu, are you going to work?"
Bi Chunliu: "Well, are you going to school?"
"Yes, Sister Chunliu, I'm leaving first. See you later."
"good."
Bi Chunliu felt that Nie Xiangbei was really weird, but she turned her head and forgot about it. How could anyone in the Nie family be normal?
Nie Xiangbei was satisfied: We will also work in the same factory in the future, and our interpersonal relationships may come in handy, so let’s make some contacts in advance!
.
In the morning, Bi Chunliu was at work, mainly listening to Zhao Mei and Wang Hongxia gossiping, when he heard someone from the factory office calling him to answer the phone.
Bi Chunliu put the melon seeds in his hand on the table, stood up, clapped his hands, and walked out.
As soon as I step outside, I immediately notice how hot it is. It's only mid-June, and the sun is already so strong. Will I be able to go out again in July or August? I need to find my big palm-leaf fan and cooling oil, and even get out my mosquito net.
"Xiao Bi is here? Hurry up, the person on the phone said it was your third aunt, and she sounded very anxious."
Director Lin from the factory office said.
Bi Chunliu thanked her, thinking that his Third Uncle must be up to something again, so he fought back.
Aunt Bi's voice on the phone was low, as if she was an underground worker handing over a task, "Chunliu, your uncle has gone to the city to look for you!"
Bi Chunliu: "What does he want to talk to us about?"
Aunt Bi San: "Hasn't it been a month since you went home? I asked him what he was doing, but he didn't tell me. He wanted to go two days ago, and I tried to stop him, but today I couldn't stop him. He just left."
"Oh, okay, I got it. Aunt San, when Uncle San comes home, I'll ask him to bring some kelp back to Guangyao. You can use it to make a cold dish or stew it into soup for him. Remember to ask Uncle San for it, and don't let him give it to others." Bi Chunliu promised some benefits to Aunt Bi San in advance.
Aunt Bi smiled politely, "Oh, it's because you, as an older sister, feel sorry for Guangyao. He hasn't been able to eat these past two days."
"Well, Aunt San, please let Guangyao study hard. I'm going to hang up first."
Aunt Bi San: "Hey, okay, hang up now."
After Bi Chunliu hung up the phone, Secretary Lin asked her curiously, "Is there something going on at home?"
Bi Chunliu smiled helplessly and bitterly, then said, "My third aunt said that my third uncle came to the city and said he missed us..."
Director Lin from the factory office, like Zhao Mei and Wang Hongxia from the labor union, was also a know-it-all. Seeing this, he comforted her: "Every family has its own problems. You're still so young, and it's not easy. Everything will be fine when your brother is older."
"Well... I hope so." Bi Chunliu took out a handful of candy from his pocket and shared it with Director Lin from the factory office and Dong Tingting. He said a few more words before returning to the union office.
After stretching her head to watch Bi Chunliu leave, Dong Tingting pouted and asked Secretary Lin, "Sister Lin, what's going on at Bi Chunliu's house?"
Secretary Lin: "Oh, you don't know yet? That all starts with Xiaobi's father..."
Bi Chunliu returned to the office. Zhao Mei heard Bi Chunliu say that Uncle Bi San was looking for her, and she warned her again, "Don't just sit there and wait for him to scold you. Last time, he was pushing and shoving." Zhao Mei was very disappointed. "If he dares to make trouble again this time, you must fight back. If you don't dare to fight back, call the security department over. After all, you are from our factory! Have them take him directly to the Public Security Bureau and see if he dares to make trouble again!"
Wang Hongxia: "...Can you please teach her something nice? How could a girl like Chunliu fight back against a man working on the farm? Wouldn't she have fallen to the ground if she had been pushed?"
Wang Xiaojun was eager to try, rubbing his hands and saying, "Chunliu, I'll go with you. Then I'll say I saw him bullying someone and I stood up for what was right!"
Bi Chunliu quickly stopped Wang Xiaojun. Those who didn't know would have thought they were going to have a fight. "Don't worry, I'm not the same person I used to be! I won't be bullied! If my third uncle dares to make a move, I'll knock him down in one blow!"
Bi Chunliu narrowed her eyes. Although she was not a violent person, she could still help her uncle if he wanted to relax!
Zhao Mei laughed out loud, "Okay! We all believe you. When the time comes, we'll help you hold his arms while you punch him in the stomach and kick his butt!"
Wang Hongxia and Wang Xiaojun also laughed.
It seems Sister Mei and Xiaojun still don't believe in me... Bi Chunliu stood up, feeling she needed to show off! She jumped a few times, stretched her arms and legs, and dragged Wang Xiaojun and her chair out. Bending down, she lifted them up like a child and walked around the room.
Zhao Mei:!
Wang Hongxia:! !
Wang Xiaojun: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
"Ah ...
Bi Chunliu carefully put Wang Xiaojun, who was dizzy with excitement, down. "Well, the artificial roller coaster is me!"
At this moment, Wang Xiaojun's eyes sparkled with excitement. He suddenly jumped up from the stool, hugged Bi Chunliu, squeezed her arm, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, Chunliu, you are so amazing!"
Zhao Mei and Wang Hongxia also reached out to pinch the flesh on Bi Chunliu's arms. This girl doesn't look fat, so how come she's so strong?! I can't believe it!
Bi Chunliu asked about the weight of Zhao Mei and Wang Hongxia, and when he learned that they were both around 120 pounds, he asked them if they wanted to feel it.
"Can you bear it? We are not light."
"I should be able to try anything that's less than one hundred and fifty." Bi Chunliu tried it after she came back. Her limit was to lift both Xia He and Qiu Guo. The two of them together weighed one hundred and eighty, but that was when she was just lifting people, and there was a stool.
Zhao Mei and Wang Hongxia were relieved and felt Wang Xiaojun's emotions just now.
"Oh my God... Chunliu, if you were a man and I were twenty years younger, I would definitely marry you!" Zhao Mei relaxed Bi Chunliu's shoulders and continued, "The last time someone held me was when I got married!"
"Who isn't? Let alone my child's father holding me, during the Chinese New Year, my daughter fell asleep and I asked him to hold her and walk home. He was so tired on the way that he was panting like a puppy!" Wang Hongxia said with disgust.
Wang Xiaojun: "Chunliu, how did you practice? I also want to have such great strength!" It feels safer to have great strength!
Bi Chunliu: "It's slowly increasing. I was very strong when I was a kid."
Honestly, she didn't know why. She'd previously suspected it was from practicing martial arts with a martial arts instructor in a past life, but then she thought, wouldn't practicing martial arts increase your strength? Anyway, this was a good thing for her, so she didn't dwell on it. Isn't there a saying that goes, "Everything that happens is good for me!"
.
In the afternoon, not long after work, Uncle Qi, who was guarding the gate of the textile factory, came to call Bi Chunliu and said that someone was looking for her at the door, saying it was her third uncle.
The other three looked at her in unison, with the same meaning: Don't be scared, it's up to you!
Bi Chunliu: ………Why do I always feel like they want me to beat up Uncle San?
Uncle Bi was standing in the shade of a tree not far from the entrance to the textile factory, waiting for Bi Chunliu. He glanced at the newspapers and tea in the guardhouse, his eyes red with envy! When could he live a life like this?
"Uncle San, what do you want to talk to me about?" Bi Chunliu thought that Uncle San was probably sick. Why was he staring at Uncle Qi? He was so confused that he even hit the tree with his hands, as if Uncle Qi had wronged him.
Uncle Bi came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he scolded Bi Chunliu in a harsh voice, "It's so hot, and I didn't even bring me a glass of water. Do you want me to die of thirst?"
Bi Chunliu: It’s said that people only remember to eat but not to be beaten. It’s only been a month, right?
"Uncle San, have all the benches in your house been repaired?"
Uncle Bi hesitated for a moment, remembering the high bench that hadn't been rebuilt yet, and changed the subject, "Look at the four of you. You didn't even go home to see your grandma. Your grandma misses defending the country!"
Bi Chunliu was a little impatient. "Why don't you just tell me what's going on? I'm still at work. Weiguo is in the third grade, and it's a busy time for him. How can he have time to go home?"
"You won't go home and show your appreciation? You can't even buy your grandma something good to eat. The old lady is already so old, how many more years of happiness can she enjoy?"
Bi Chunliu smiled. My grandma lived much longer than you in the previous life. She was still alive when you were still alive for several years... But now she understood that her third uncle was being roundabout. He didn't want a job anymore and instead wanted money and things.
"I understand. I'll buy something and send it to you in a couple of days."
Uncle Bi: "No need, just give me the money and I'll buy it for your grandma. I know what she likes to eat."
Bi Chunliu frowned. Uncle San's abacus beads were flying all over her face! She suddenly thought of Uncle San's lover in the village and said, "Uncle San, when I went home last time, I saw a kid named Guangzong in our village. Do you think he's interesting? He looks a lot like you..."
Uncle Bi:!!!
