Chapter 443 She can save herself [Ye Xianghong Extra]
At 6:30 in the morning, Ye Xianghong got up, washed up, and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
In fact, it was just steaming the buns that had been made before, and then making some porridge.
While she was busy, Ye Feng also came in to help and helped to stir-fry two side dishes.
The mother and son had dinner together, and Ye Feng went to college.
College has been open for just over half a year, and Ye Xianghong noticed that her son seemed to go to school earlier recently than when school just started. He also
came back a little later after school.
He always found excuses to go out during holidays.
As an experienced person, Ye Xianghong understood what the child was doing at a glance, and just silently gave him some pocket money so that her son would not be too tight in front of the girl he liked.
Now Ye Mei and Sheng Zhiwu are married. In order to facilitate their business, they live in Shenzhen and only come back during holidays or off-seasons.
Although Ye Qingyue is married and lives next door, with Huo Qingchi taking care of the housework, she still likes to eat at home.
Ye Xianghong did not forget to leave a portion for the young lady and Huo Qingchi, and put it on the stove to keep warm.
When the two get up, they will naturally come here to eat.
Ye Xianghong is resting today. After finishing her chores, she wrapped the wood carvings she had made in the past few days in cloth, put them in a basket, carried them on her back, and went out to the familiar commercial street to set up a stall.
She has little time at work, so she goes to carve wood in her spare time.
Li Qi and Mr. Jiang saw that the young lady liked woodworking, and they specially found an old master to teach her.
Today, Ye Xianghong's craftsmanship is getting better and better. She has been running this small business for several years and has developed many regular customers.
Every time she sets up the stall, she can always sell out within a day.
Sometimes she will accept orders from regular customers, and the price is not cheap.
Ye Xianghong now has her own small treasury, but her two daughters are very competitive, so there is no room for her to show her ability.
Although Ye Feng is still studying and spending the family's money, he said that he plans to find a part-time job during his holidays to earn money for himself.
When his two sisters were his age, they had already earned money for the family.
Ye Feng knew that he was not as good as his sisters, but he did not want to embarrass them, thinking that at least he could support himself.
Seeing that the children are getting older and no longer need pocket money from her, Ye Xianghong can only spend more time on the gifts for her parents, and she often makes the two old people smile. Her life is leisurely and comfortable.
She sets up the stall on weekends, and there are many customers.
The wood carvings on Ye Xianghong's stall were soon sold out, leaving only one.
It was a cute calf.
In two months, it will be the Year of the Ox, so Ye Xianghong carved several calves and sold the rest. This one is expected to be sold out soon.
"How much is this?"
At this time, a familiar voice sounded.
Ye Xianghong looked up and saw Lu Aiguo squatting in front of the stall, raising his hand to pick up the calf.
"If you want it, I'll give it to you." Ye Xianghong said. Her nephew Jiang Shaoyan and Lu Xue of the Lu family were married, so they were also relatives in some way.
Lu Aiguo was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You should give me the money. I'm buying a child for Xiaoxue, and the expected date of birth is after the New Year."
"Yes."
Ye Xianghong said, "Qingyue has seen it, and it should be about half a month after the New Year."
Lu Aiguo paid the money obediently, but did not leave, but waited for Ye Xianghong to pack up the stall.
Ye Xianghong was carrying a basket on her back, and when she saw that he did not leave, she suddenly said, "What do you want to say?"
Lu Aiguo was stunned.
Ye Xianghong said, "You always appear in front of me these years. You have something to say to me, what do you want to say?"
Lu Aiguo stammered, and after a while he said, "Do you... still remember me? When we first met."
Ye Xianghong thought for a moment and said, "I was in the park and was almost beaten up, and you saved me."
Lu Aiguo smiled bitterly and said, "You really don't remember me."
The first time they met was in Jiangcheng, in the mountains, and Ye Xianghong saved him.
But he hurt Ye Xianghong.
He caused Ye Xianghong and her husband to divorce, and he killed Ye Xianghong's husband himself.
In order to make up for it, he always gave things to the Ye family and Ye Xianghong, and appeared in front of Ye Xianghong from time to time to help her.
But Ye Xianghong would always make up for it, which made his compensation meaningless.
"The first time we met... was it a very important thing?"
Ye Xianghong asked. She was not pretending to be stupid, she really didn't remember it.
In the past, she had a mental illness, so her memory was not very good.
Later, when she came to the capital, under the treatment of her daughter Ye Qingyue, Ye Xianghong slowly returned to normal.
She stopped taking medication after Ye Qingyue got married. Li Qi, who also had a mental illness, also stopped taking medication recently and his mental state has recovered very well.
As for the memories of the past illness, she also forgot a lot.
Seeing Ye Xianghong's confused face, Lu Aiguo was silent for a long time, walked with her to a nearby park, and told her everything.
"I harmed you."
Lu Aiguo said, "If it weren't for me, Ye Yong wouldn't have misunderstood you, and if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have died."
Despite Ye Yong's crime, even if he didn't die under his gun, he would have been sentenced to death.
But there is still a difference between the two.
"So that's it."
After listening to what Lu Aiguo said, Ye Xianghong seemed very calm, without resentment or other emotions.
She said, "Is that all?"
Lu Aiguo didn't expect her to react like this, and couldn't help but say, "Why did you..."
"A Yong didn't misunderstand me because of you."
Ye Xianghong said, "Without you, there are others. He just needs an excuse, and you just happened to show up."
Lu Aiguo said, "But I had the opportunity to make him lose this excuse."
Ye Xianghong shook her head and said, "There is no if, everything has already happened."
Lu Aiguo was silent.
"Have you always minded this?" Ye Xianghong asked, "I heard that you have never married, is it because of this?" When
Lu Aiguo heard her mention "marriage", his face became hot and his body tensed. He observed Ye Xianghong's expression and saw that she did not have any negative emotions such as rejection, so he mustered up the courage to say, "Yes."
"Then you don't have to mind it now."
Ye Xianghong whispered, "You can let yourself go."
Lu Aiguo was stunned: "What did you say?"
"I don't mind what you do, and these things are not your fault, so don't mind them anymore and let yourself go."
Ye Xianghong said, "Don't punish yourself for the past and cut off your own life possibilities."
Lu Aiguo said, "Comrade Ye, I... I'm not punishing myself! I'm really... really..."
Lu Aiguo, who could remain calm even in a life-and-death crisis, blushed at this moment. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "I'm interested in you, that's why I don't want to get married."
"Is that really the case?"
Ye Xianghong said, "We only met a few times back then, and you didn't even know me. How do you know, is the person you like me, or the me in your imagination?"
Lu Aiguo was stunned. He had never thought about this problem. To him, if he likes someone, he likes him. How can it be so complicated?
Ye Xianghong said seriously: "Comrade Lu, please take your life more seriously and don't be too hard on yourself."
"Comrade Ye..." Lu Aiguo didn't know what to say.
Ye Xianghong signaled him not to explain and prepared to leave with the basket on his back.
Before leaving, Ye Xianghong paused and said: "Every time you appear, you help me intentionally or unintentionally. Comrade Lu, I am not the person you imagine, who just waits for help and rescue. Even if you don't show up, my life will go on as usual. So, please think about these questions carefully and tell me your answers."
After that, Ye Xianghong left.
Lu Aiguo stood there, watching her figure gradually disappear, his eyes blank but with a hint of seriousness, he murmured: "Okay, I will think about these issues seriously, and then go find you, Comrade Ye."
After saying that, Lu Aiguo felt his body lighten, as if something heavy had been unloaded.
He thought, no matter what the final answer was, he should thank Ye Xianghong very much, and should also say sorry to Ye Xianghong seriously.
The woman in front of him looked thin and weak.
But in fact, Ye Xianghong was even tougher than him.
As Ye Xianghong said, she didn't need anyone to save her, she could save herself.
