There was a little light in the sky, and Xiaojuan felt as if a pair of small hands were pulling her hard.
She suddenly woke up and hurried to see Guoguo. The redness on her little face had faded and she was sleeping soundly. She reached out to touch her forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaojuan opened the door and went out, and happened to see Qiu Zhen standing at the door with a bowl of steamed buns.
…
Both of them were stunned, feeling a little awkward thinking about yesterday's argument.
"fruit……"
"Mom, Guoguo's fever has gone down, he's fine now!" Xiaojuan looked relaxed with a smile on her face.
"Okay, okay, it's good now." Qiu Zhen also relaxed, tears of joy flashing in her eyes. Holding the steamed bun, she said, "You've been busy all night. You must be hungry. I just steamed it. Don't you like brown sugar? I added brown sugar."
Xiaojuan nodded continuously and said, "Yes, I love it, Mom, thank you."
"Why thank you, silly child!"
Since this illness, Liang Guoguo has been in better health. He can jump up and down very fast and he was running all over the place when he just turned one year old.
People say it’s easy to raise children in the summer, as they can grow up just by rolling around in the mud.
Cicadas are chirping. Zhao Meiying graduated from high school this month and will go to teach at the town's junior high school in September. When the weather gets cooler, good days will come for her and Xu Guoqing.
Aunt Xu has already begun to prepare the things for the couple's wedding in an orderly manner. She set up an embroidery frame and personally embroidered a mandarin duck quilt for them.
Ever since the good day was set, Qiuhua has kept it in mind. She took the empty embroidery surface and made a fan according to the previous pattern. On it was embroidered a plum blossom blooming in the wind and snow.
"Qiuhua, your embroidery is so beautiful." Zhao Meiying liked it very much.
"This is the work of an embroidery master. We must keep it well. It may be worth a fortune in the future!" Xu Guoqing joked.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid that you won't be able to support me in the future and will sell it?" Zhao Meiying replied.
"That can't be possible. Teacher Zhao must be kept plump and white by me!"
Qiuhua felt choked by hearing everyone calling her Teacher Zhao, and she frowned while embroidering.
"It's been so many days since the holiday, why hasn't Wu Xin come?" Meiying sent Xu Guoqing away and wanted to say a few words to Qiuhua about the girls' true feelings.
Qiuhua shook her head. The last time Xu Guoqing brought Meiying back from Shanghai, Wu Xin also came hurriedly once. They met outside the yard. The two were two meters apart and didn't say much.
After that, he went to school and didn't even send a letter.
"There's no letter either." Qiuhua stopped, his hands feeling weak.
Although Wu Xin and Mei Ying are not in the same high school, their vacation time is the same. It is really unreasonable for him not to come to see Qiuhua for so many days.
"Or, let's go to his aunt's house and ask." Zhao Meiying stood up and said.
Qiu Hua shook her head and said, "Forget it. What are you asking? How can a little girl like you come to ask for news? This is not good."
Zhao Meiying thought about it and sat back down. It made sense. Qiuhua was still unmarried at her age, and it was unacceptable for her to go to his house to ask for news.
"Did he say anything to you?"
"What?" Qiuhua didn't understand what she was asking.
"Like when to find a matchmaker or something like that."
Qiu Hua nodded and said, "I did...after he graduates from high school."
She felt sorry for Qiu Hua: This Wu Xin! He talks about everything, but he just disappears without a trace! Are there any good people left?
Xu Guoqing was working peacefully at home when he was caught off guard by a sneeze. This was an accidental injury.
"Qiuhua, it's really not easy for you to ask. How about I ask Xu Guoqing to ask?"
Qiuhua shook her head. Although she was nervous, she still believed him.
"I think he must have been delayed by something. He will definitely come to see me when he is free."
Zhao Meiying blinked, nodded after a moment, and said with emotion: "You two are still the best."
"What's good, Teacher Zhao?" Xu Guoqing brought over half a basin of watermelon.
"Oh, Teacher Zhao, you should go back to Brother's house. If you stay here any longer, he will move his family here." Qiuhua said pretending to be angry.
Xu Guoqing chuckled and said, "That's right. Even if Meiying wasn't here with you, I would still give you some watermelon to try!"
He handed the watermelon over. Meiying took it and gave it to Qiuhua first, saying, "That's right. I can't be without Qiuhua even if I'm not here."
A few words dispelled the gloomy atmosphere. The three of them ate watermelon as the sun set in the west. Meiying stayed at Qiuhua's house.
Lying in bed at night, Qiuhua thought about what Meiying said during the day and became more and more worried.
After the Chinese New Year, Qiuhua took on several embroidery jobs. After working during the day, she had to work at night. Sometimes when she was free, she would remember that she had not received a letter from Wu Xin for a long time, but she would forget about it the next moment.
Now that high school is on vacation, she thought he would come soon, but Meiying has been to Qiuhua's house several times and has not seen any sign of Wu Xin.
Now that Meiying said this, Qiuhua became worried.
I'm not worried about anything else. There's no news at all. I'm really afraid that something has happened to him.
She began to regret that because of Meiying's matter, she kept pushing Wu Xin away, fearing that she had really hurt his feelings.
After Meiying came back, the two met briefly, but she still hadn't had a good talk with him because of what happened last time. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad and buried her nose and mouth in the sheets.
Summer nights are stuffy and humid, and it doesn't take long before I'm sweating all over.
When Qiuhua woke up the next morning, his face looked a little pale.
"Why, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Meiying saw that she looked pale and dazed, so she couldn't help asking.
Qiuhua nodded and replied, "I couldn't sleep, tossing and turning." After saying that, he sighed deeply.
