Chapter 010: Going against the male protagonist and starting to practice self-defense
Low brick-walled courtyards and intricate alleys.
This area should be the resettlement area of Hongwu Street, with old houses from decades ago.
Tian Xiang remembered the location, pushed her bicycle out of another alley, found a grocery store, bought some candies, and then turned back to the road she had just taken.
At the main entrance to the alley, a few children were playing with pebbles. Tian Xiang rode over and asked the kids, "Did a girl in a flowery dress just enter this alley? Her hair was permed and it was very curly."
Nowadays, it is not uncommon to wear floral dresses, but not many people perm their hair.
The children ignored her at first, but when they saw Tian Xiang holding out the candy, they asked, "What do you want to do with Aunt Jiang?"
The eighth female supporting role is named Jiang.
Tian Xiang smiled and said, "She was buying vegetables at the market earlier and left her scarf on our counter. I brought it to her, but when I chased her here, she was nowhere to be seen."
The children were very enthusiastic when they got the candies and immediately showed her the way.
Tian Xiang asked: "Whose aunt is she?"
The children didn’t understand, “What do you mean by ‘whose aunt’? Aunt Jiang is Aunt Jiang!”
Tian Xiang smiled and explained, "I was asking whose daughter-in-law she was and what her husband's surname was."
"She has no man."
"He died in an accident at the factory..."
It turned out to be a widow.
No wonder she is labeled as the supporting actress.
It is said that there is a lot of trouble around a widow.
Tian Xiang suddenly understood what "Enlightenment Master" meant.
Isn't it just that kind of thing?
Have you ever eaten pork or seen a pig run?
That scumbag from Lu Feng didn't even let the widow go.
The man who played the supporting female role died in the line of duty. People like him are worse than beasts!
Of course, it is also possible that the two of them were in love and hit it off right away.
In short, she will focus on this area in the future, and she will definitely be able to catch the scumbag Lu.
Tian Xiang went back very satisfied and even cooked herself an egg as a snack at noon.
…
Sanlixiang convenient barber shop.
Hu Honglian was queuing up at the public health department to wash her lunch box after finishing her meal when a colleague came over to call her.
"Mrs. Liu from the Qiaonan Convenience Store wants to see you."
When she heard it was Mrs. Liu, Hu Honglian stopped washing her lunch box, asked her colleagues to help, and went through the store to the front.
Mrs. Liu was standing under the big tree at the door of the store. When she saw Hu Honglian, she smiled at her.
Hu Honglian, however, had a sullen face and a very bad attitude.
"Sister Liu, you're here. What's up?"
Mrs. Liu is in her early fifties and also lives in Sanli Lane. However, she works as a salesperson in a convenience store south of the bridge. That is the territory of Hongwu Street, so she can be considered half a Hongwu Street person. Plus, with her identity as a salesperson, she is usually flattered wherever she goes and is very arrogant.
Granny Liu pulled Hu Honglian and said, "What are you doing? Are you still angry with me? Oh, I don't know anything about that! If I knew Tian Xiang didn't go, I would have told Wu Jinzhu right away to avoid a misunderstanding that would bring shame to your family!"
Wu Jinzhu is Lu Feng's mother.
"Honglian, this is not our fault. It's all Tian Chuying's fault. She is uneducated and shameless."
The two chatted as they walked and went to the flower bed next to them to talk.
Hu Honglian: "What's the point of talking about this now? Forget it."
Hu Honglian was still angry, and Liu Pozi laughed along, then said to her excitedly, "This matter is not without room for reversal. Tian Xiang went there to make a scene yesterday, and not only the Lu family but the entire machinery factory knew about it. Tian Chuying wants to marry into the family, but there is no way."
Hu Honglian tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth and hide the smug look in her eyes.
"If a younger sister can marry her elder sister even if she does, then this society will be in chaos."
Mrs. Liu nodded, "That's right. So, Wu Jinzhu came to see me again this morning, and we had a good chat, and all the misunderstandings were resolved. I thought that since it was a misunderstanding, we might as well let the two children see each other again, and treat the previous events as a test for the two young people, and we just don't think about it."
It seems that Lu Feng really likes his daughter!
Oh, I didn’t expect that my daughter’s slap would actually bring out such a foolish man.
Hu Honglian was happy in her heart, but her face became longer and longer. "Such a big thing, how can I just say I don't want to think about it? And this matter can't be handled like this. Lu Feng looked at his sister and then his elder sister. What does he think of the daughters of the Tian family? Cabbages in the market! This won't work. Sister Liu, don't worry about it."
After talking with Lu Feng yesterday, Hu Honglian had almost decided on this son-in-law, so she naturally agreed to take a new look at him.
But some things cannot be said directly.
The girl from Sanli Lane was going on a blind date with the guy from Hongwu Street, and she was already a head shorter than him.
It was a rare occasion that the Lu family came to visit her, so she had to behave herself and give face to her daughter.
Mrs. Liu was also a shrewd person and she saw through it after just a few words.
Thinking that Hu Honglian had been making clothes for her family for two years, Mrs. Liu didn't say much. It was understandable that a mother would give her daughter face.
but……
"You have seen that guy from Lu Feng. Can you be willing to give up on him like this? I tell you, if you miss this opportunity, you may never find such a good-looking guy again.
Honglian, forget it, don't be stubborn with me, give the children a chance. ”
Hu Honglian knew when to stop, and pretended to be hesitant and said, "If Lu Feng is sincere, it's not impossible, but my Xiangxiang is angry, so this matter can't be done now, we have to wait a while."
What Hu Honglian said was true. When she mentioned reuniting yesterday, her daughter became like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She became completely furious.
Mrs. Liu was a little unhappy. She had said so much, why was she still being so reserved?
But when she thought of the generous matchmaking fee Wu Jinzhu mentioned, she suppressed her unhappiness and advised, "That's true. But you have to persuade her as soon as possible. It's rare that she has spoken up, and you can't just leave her alone. You have to give her a reply as soon as possible."
Hu Honglian nodded.
After get off work in the afternoon, Hu Honglian went home humming a song. She heard that Tian Chuying was doing volunteer work at the neighborhood committee, so she turned a corner to take a look. She saw that person cleaning the bulletin board and laughed for a long time with her hands covering her mouth.
When I got home, I couldn't wait to share the news with my daughter, but I found her squatting and doing boxing in the main room.
"Xiangxiang, what are you doing?"
It's not nice for a grown girl to be laughing and groaning all the time.
Tian Xiang: "I'm practicing self-defense."
What happened in the morning reminded Tian Xiang that it was not so easy to go against the male protagonist. In a situation like this morning, if she had not been agile, the misunderstanding would have caused her to hang herself on the spot.
For her own physical and mental safety, she decided to practice her skills every day.
If I don’t have time, I practice at home. When I have time, I go to the street drama troupe to practice somersaults with the uncles and children.
Hu Honglian picked up the picture book on the table and asked, "Are you serious?" There was also a book.
"Where did you get this?"
Tian Xiang: "I found it in the abandoned warehouse of the library. Mom, please don't damage it. I have been searching for it for a long time."
When Hu Honglian heard this, he was so scared that he quickly closed the door. "You climbed through the window to read again! If someone catches you, you will be forced to do volunteer work."
"Mom, it's okay. I won't go there anymore."
"I remember. You don't know, after get off work I saw Tian Chuying cleaning the street, it was so embarrassing..."
