Since then, Chen Man has found that the villagers have become more welcoming to her. It's as if she has suddenly transformed from an outsider into a local.
This made Chen Man a little flattered.
"Auntie, this is sauerkraut. My grandma asked me to bring it." Jiahao spoke with shortness of breath and agitated tone.
Chen Man was at a loss for words. She had already taken the eggs, the dried bamboo shoots, and the snacks she bought after school, and now they were delivering sauerkraut again.
Jiahao was followed by a group of little kids, all looking at Chen Man as if they were seeing Ultraman, a shining Ultraman. Meanwhile, Jiahao's gaze towards her was no longer as clear and foolish as when he first saw her.
It can be seen that he really wants to get close to me, and even tries to please me.
Chen Man has become accustomed to not refusing because she has prepared a lot of snacks at home.
Every time he brought something over, Chen Man would give them snacks.
"Thank you, Jiahao. Auntie will get you something delicious."
Each child received a packet of cookies.
"Thank you, ma'am~"
A group of children thanked him politely.
Chen Man remembered that on the first day, only Jiahao said thank you to her, while the other children were just having fun with their snacks.
I didn't expect that everyone would become so polite in just a few days.
"Wow, you guys are so polite. Your teacher taught you so well!"
"No Four!"
Chen Man looked at the boy who shouted "Bu Si" loudly, "Huh?"
"Si Xu Jiahao is a bitch, otherwise thank you for not letting us come."
"puff!"
Good boy, so honest!
"Wow, you guys are even more amazing. You can actually learn the best qualities from others! Wow, that's incredible, so smart! Jiahao is awesome, he's become a little teacher!"
"Auntie, you are the best. You saved Xu Jiahao. You are his savior and a little angel." A little girl with two ponytails stood silently by. Chen Man didn't pay much attention to her at first. She was too quiet and spoke slowly.
Chen Man felt warm in her heart, not because these children praised her and regarded her as a hero, but because these children were so kind and sensible.
"You are the little angel. You are all little angels. Little angels, let's be friends from now on, okay?"
There were five or six little kids, and they were going crazy.
"Oh yeah!"
"Yeah, my friend!"
"hey-hey."
…
In Chen Man's view, the winter in the south is a demon that has become a spirit.
night.
Chen Man was lying on the bed alone, covered with a thick milk-flannel quilt. She didn't feel cold, but rather quite warm.
But when my head was exposed, I could feel gusts of wind blowing across my face and forehead.
The whole room was cold, and outside, the bamboo trees were swaying in the wind, making a whistling sound. It was like hell...
She doesn't like using air conditioning. It's okay during the day, but when she sleeps at night, she always feels suffocated by the heat.
But now she felt a little regretful, she was freezing to death.
Warmth is more important than not liking it. I'll turn on the air conditioner next time, but I don't know if it will work.
It feels like there is a cold wind everywhere.
Pulling the quilt over her head, Chen Man finally escaped from the clutches of the devil for a short time.
The sky, which had been gloomy for over a week, finally cleared up. When the sun came out, Chen Man felt that the whole world was golden and joyful.
She loves the sun and sunny days.
"Man, the weather seems to be very good today." Grandma looked at the orange and yellow outside the window.
Grandma ate breakfast in bed. Chen Man had just finished cleaning up and sat in front of her bed to keep her warm by the fire.
"Yes, the sun is finally out. If it doesn't, my clothes will get moldy."
"Then take it out and dry it in the sun. It's such a nice day. Dry the bedding and quilts. It's a good time to push me out to dry in the sun, so you can dry this too. It's a little lighter when you cover it up."
Chen Man stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and dry it."
There was no clothes rack in the yard, so Chen Man bought a clothes rack and placed it where the sweet potato hole originally was. The sweet potato hole was filled and cement was paved there. Chen Man decorated it with potted plants.
The door from the bathroom leads directly here, and the washing machine is also placed here, making it very convenient to wash and dry clothes.
Chen Man moved the clothesline to the yard, which was spacious and suitable for drying quilts.
My grandmother's clothes were drying up there, and there was no room for mine, so I put them on the railing upstairs. They were drying there for almost the whole morning.
Blue sky and white clouds, clear sky.
Chen Man pushed her grandmother to the field. The Chinese New Year was still more than half a month away, and people nowadays had nothing to do, so as soon as the sun came out, they ran out to bask in the sun.
When Chen Man pushed her grandmother over, there were a lot of people in the place.
Zhang Xiaona was sitting on a big rock playing games. Her son Xu Jiaxuan was being amused by his uncles and aunts. His aunt and aunt were standing together chatting happily, and there were old men and women standing on the other side chatting about their own things.
"Sister, push grandma over here and let her sit here. The stones are hot from the sun, you can sit on them." As soon as Chen Man came over, Li Taohua greeted her with a smile and patted the stone beside her.
Compared to their previous acquaintance, which was limited to polite nodding, Li Taohua was now genuinely polite to her. Her tone was as gentle and soft as if she was talking to her own newborn daughter.
"Oh, okay." Chen Man smiled at her. Her grandmother pushed herself to a group of old ladies and sat down on the stone that Li Taohua had placed there to listen to everyone chatting.
Normally she doesn't interrupt and just listens to everyone's conversation. Occasionally, when the topic comes to her, she will say a few more words.
Zhang Xiaona finished playing a game and put away her phone. "Are you willing to come out? I've been calling you out all day and you're just hiding in your room, getting moldy."
Chen Man: "I've been a bit busy lately."
She had just accepted an advertisement and was busy thinking of a shooting plan. She also had to naturally insert the merchant's advertisement to achieve the promotional effect.
Plus, her grandmother was sick, so she had no desire to go out.
"You're busy every day. But your job is pretty good, it's easy."
Zhang Xiaona remembered something and turned to the woman next to her and asked, "Didn't they say your college students are on vacation? Why aren't they out playing?"
Chen Man gradually got to know more people in the village, and she also knew this person. She was Uncle Yong's wife, a woman who looked gentle.
She replied, "I just got back the day before yesterday and went out on my bike to pick up a package."
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of a motorcycle was heard at the intersection. When it approached this side, it slowed down and stopped by the side of the road.
A young man who looked like a college student got off the car. He was indeed a college student with a handsome appearance and a good height.
This should be the good son that Uncle Yong mentioned who was just a few dozen points away from being admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University.
He got off the car and walked over here, standing aside listening to everyone chatting. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Man.
"If I had known you were going out to pick up a package, you could have brought one for me." Zhang Xiaona said to him regretfully.
"Then why don't you ask me?" The man's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.
"Who knew you were going? Wow, that's strange. The sun is so nice today that it has even tanned the college students." Zhang Xiaona said as she glanced across the field.
