This was absolutely true. This afternoon, Tian Xiaolan grabbed his hand and he tried very hard to pull it out but couldn't. He was still a little worried, after all, there were so many of them.
He struck a match and saw that she had no injuries on her body and her clothes were still clean, so he felt relieved. She might be afraid that he would worry about her and not tell the truth, but that would not happen with her clothes.
Tian Xiaolan let him look at her, she had nothing to hide.
"It's not even dawn yet, come to bed!"
"good."
"Is the money still there?" Wei Wenjie was still a little worried.
Tian Xiaolan said helplessly: "Everyone is here, go to sleep, why are you so energetic?"
"I'm asleep." Wei Wenjie just lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the bench too hard for you to sleep on? Why don't you sleep on it?"
As he said that, he sat up, intending to give his seat to Tian Xiaolan.
After waiting for a while without any movement, he looked down and saw that Tian Xiaolan had already fallen asleep with even breathing.
Tian Xiaolan listened to the sound of him touching the bed in the air, and went to sleep, putting aside the messy thoughts in her mind.
The next day, Tian Xiaolan got up early and opened the door. She saw some children carrying a green cross-body bag and wearing striped shirts to go to school, and they were pulling their clothes to show off to others.
Tian Xiaolan remembered that it was the time of reform and opening up, and those who went to trade goods could make a lot of money. She guessed that Xing Yifei had also gone there, and hoped that he could also make a lot of money, so that she could also benefit from his help, and even if she didn't have meat, she could just have soup.
The return date is uncertain. Xing Yifei has been out for several days and no one knows when he will come back. Tian Xiaolan feels a little troubled when looking at the money in her hand. To be honest, she feels that she may not be able to get it.
Because there are always people better than you and there are always mountains better than you.
Despite this, she decided to give it a try. If she didn't work hard, she might miss some opportunities. There were also some people helping her along the way. If she gave up halfway, wouldn't she be letting them down?
Tian Xiaolan did what she said and went outside to buy two bowls of noodles. After putting them aside, she called Wei Wenjie to get up and eat.
"You're up so early!"
Tian Xiaolan pointed to the clock on the counter and said, "Look at the time. It's already seven o'clock. How can it be early? If it's any later, the price will be negotiated. What else can we do?"
"You're right." Wei Wenjie quickly rolled up a lump of noodles with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, not caring whether it was hot or not.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, the root of his tongue hurt so much that he couldn't speak. He instinctively wanted to spit it out, but when he saw Tian Xiaolan was still there, he swallowed it straight down without even chewing it. The hot air went down his throat to his stomach, and he didn't forget to keep his expression.
Tian Xiaolan had just watched the noodles being cooked. She had said that just now to make him eat faster, but there was no need to do that: "Don't eat so fast, blow on it twice! Even if you have an iron tongue, you can't stand this!"
As he spoke, he poured him a glass of cold water from the thermos, handed it to his mouth and watched him drink it.
Wei Wenjie didn't know why she wanted him to eat faster and slower at the same time, but he just did as she said: "Okay, I'll eat slowly."
I picked up a handful of noodles, blew on them a few times with my pursed lips before eating. Sure enough, I felt better. My throat wasn't as burning after drinking some water.
It was only 7:30 when they finished eating. Tian Xiaolan woke him up early because she was afraid that he would oversleep. Now he had extra time to wash up.
Tian Xiaolan said: "Washing your face and brushing your teeth gives you a fresh mental outlook."
"good."
Tian Xiaolan took out the toothpaste from her bag and squeezed it onto the toothbrush. She then used his bowl to collect some water, dipped the toothpaste on the toothbrush into the water, and brushed her teeth.
When she brushed her mouth full of bubbles, she spit out saliva with blood. She rinsed it with water several times before it felt better. She didn't brush it hard, but it still caused bleeding.
Wei Wenjie saw it and said, "Why are you still bleeding? Let me see."
"Go away and wash your face."
Wei Wenjie scooped some water with a ladle and poured it down, then splashed it on his face with one hand. In a few strokes, all the water was gone.
Tian Xiaolan saw his unique way of washing his face and felt that it was difficult to wash it clean, so she asked, "Don't you have a basin at home?"
"Yes! It's the one we used yesterday."
Tian Xiaolan thought about it and realized that the one she used yesterday was a foot basin. It was too unhygienic to mix them up.
Seeing that she asked, Wei Wenjie thought she wanted to use the basin to wash, so he took the basin and rinsed it with water. Just as he was about to flush the water in it, Tian Xiaolan stopped him.
"Wait, don't scoop water in, I'll wash it by hand."
Tian Xiaolan rubbed her face with the tap water, looked up and said to him, "Are you done packing? If you're done, let's go!"
He had taken all his things, so he just had to follow Tian Xiaolan to see if he could take over the store today.
Tian Xiaolan was walking in front. The place where the price was negotiated today was at the government office. The store had been taken over by them.
When Tian Xiaolan got there, she saw the gatekeeper she had seen two days ago. Before she could say anything, the gatekeeper moved the pole away.
"Are you here to see Director Shi again? He just went in. You can see him if you go to his office!" The gatekeeper said to her with a look in his eyes. Last time he saw her being taken in directly, and now his heart was as clear as a mirror.
He must have misunderstood something, but she was too lazy to explain and walked in with Wei Wenjie. There was a tree not far away in the yard. The air was fresh and birds were singing on the branches.
