[Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Gift]
After lunch, Shen Yuyao went to work.
She had just ridden to the department store, and before she entered the yard, she heard someone shouting loudly from behind: “Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen!”
Shen Yuyao hurriedly got out of the car, and then saw Xiaoya standing across the street and waving at her.
Seeing her get off the car, Xiao Ya happily ran over from the opposite side.
At noon, the sun is scorching.
Even if you stay indoors, you will sweat every time you move, let alone squatting on the curb.
Xiaoya's short-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat.
The little girl must have followed others to pick up coal cores again. She was dirty all over and her face looked like a calico cat, with black and white patches.
I haven't seen you for nearly half a month. You've lost a lot of weight, and your chin is so sharp that it looks like it could prick someone's throat.
He looks dark and thin, just like a little monkey.
Seeing Xiaoya like this, Shen Yuyao couldn't help but frowned slightly.
In fact, she couldn't understand it. Mrs. Qian was a formal employee of the textile factory and her salary was higher than hers.
In this day and age, if you have a house and an income in the city, you can live a good life.
Not to mention that Mrs. Qian also does odd jobs from time to time.
Xiaoya is the only daughter in the family, so there is really not much place to spend money!
Shen Yuyao really couldn't understand why she lived like this?
Xiaoya is almost six years old now and is old enough to go to school.
Even though you can't learn anything in school nowadays, it's better to be confined to the campus than to run around the world picking up coal cores with a group of big boys every day, right?
The last time Shen Yuyao saw Xiaoya, she was fighting with a few boys on the side of the railway track, and a train was speeding towards them not far behind them...
Shen Yuyao was so scared that her legs went limp!
She personally sent Xiaoya back that day and told Sister Qian about it.
Mrs. Qian slapped the little girl on the back, scolded her, and told her not to run around like that in the future.
As for whether Shen Yuyao heard the rest or not, she didn't know.
It made her feel quite embarrassed, as if she had gone to complain about the child specifically.
Since that day, Shen Yuyao has never seen Xiaoya again, and she doesn't know why she came to see her?
Shen Yuyao did not ask immediately, but took Xiaoya into the backyard of the department store.
She parked the car, took out her handkerchief from her bag, wet it at the public water pipe, and wiped Xiaoya's face.
Then she took out her comb, combed her hair which was all messed up due to running, and tied it into a small braid.
Because Xiaoya lost even her hairband, Shen Yuyao took out a spare red hairband from her bag and tied it on her.
After a few moments, a smart little girl reappeared in front of him.
Shen Yuyao then bent down and asked, "Xiaoya, what are you doing here to see your aunt?"
Xiaoya washed her face and hands with cold water and felt much more comfortable.
Her eyes narrowed with joy at this moment.
She fumbled in her pocket for a long time, then took out a piece of green glass and said, "Auntie, I give you this gem. I found it on the beach. It's so beautiful!"
As she spoke, she held up the glass towards the sun and motioned for Shen Yuyao to look.
Through the green glass, even the sky changed color.
"It looks very good." Shen Yuyao nodded in admiration.
"For you!" Xiaoya handed the "treasure" to Shen Yuyao.
Shen Yuyao took the glass and looked at it carefully.
Found that it was probably a fragment of a bottle.
But because it fell into the sea and was washed by the sea water for a long time, the glass was polished and rounded all around.
It feels smooth to the touch and looks crystal clear.
Although she knew that this thing was worthless, Shen Yuyao also understood that it represented the child's thoughts.
Shen Yuyao squatted down and thanked the child, then asked: "Why did Xiaoya give me this?"
She was indeed a little curious.
Xiaoya suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She lowered her head and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry about that day. I didn't mean to play by the railway, and my mother didn't mean to be mean to you... Auntie, please don't be angry with us, okay?"
Shen Yuyao was stunned.
She never thought that Xiaoya came to give her a gift for this reason!
She did feel a little uncomfortable that day, but it was not because of Sister Qian's attitude.
Although Mrs. Qian was a bit perfunctory, she didn't show anything to her, and Shen Yuyao was not the kind of person who would care about things.
She felt uncomfortable because seeing Xiaoya, a little girl, running around like crazy, she felt a little worried about her, but she couldn't say it.
She didn't remember showing it at the time, nor did she expect the child to be able to sense it.
He even came to apologize to me.
Shen Yuyao couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment.
She took out a sorghum candy from her bag and stuffed it into Xiaoya's mouth, deliberately smiling and saying to her: "You are a clever little girl. Although you are young, you have a lot on your mind. Auntie is not angry, but a little worried. Go to places like that less often in the future, and don't fight with others!"
"Yeah." Xiaoya nodded heavily.
Knowing that Shen Yuyao had to go to work, Xiaoya did not stay long. She gave the glass to Shen Yuyao and left.
Shen Yuyao also hurried to take over.
What Shen Yuyao didn't expect was that as soon as she arrived at the counter, she heard good news that both of her works had entered the final selection.
Ding Cuifen told her that there were five works shortlisted for the final selection, and two of his were selected!
This shows that the teachers and leaders who judged the works appreciated her work very much.
This time, a total of three designs will be selected for production, and the selected authors will not only receive certificates and prizes, but also cash as rewards.
Ding Cuifen said that the bonuses in the past were almost all around 100 yuan.
Out of five candidates to choose from, Shen Yuyao took up two spots, so it was almost certain that she would be selected this time.
Although her work was not selected, Ding Cuizhen was very excited that her apprentice received such appreciation.
She looked like she wanted to be happier than Shen Yuyao!
Ding Cuizhen was not the only one who was happy. Everyone else in the department store who learned the news congratulated Shen Yuyao.
The main reason is that the collectivist thinking is still very strong in this era. Although Shen Yuyao participated in this competition in a private capacity, she is a member of the department store after all.
Knowing that she was selected, everyone felt honored and very proud.
Shen Yuyao was feeling happy and cheerful that day.
Xiaoya is as happy as her.
Xiaoya went straight home after coming out from the backyard of the department store.
She was reluctant to bite the piece of sorghum candy in her mouth all the way. As soon as she entered the slum, she shouted loudly: "Mom, mom, I saw Aunt Xiao Shen today. Aunt Xiao Shen gave me candy! Ah, look, I still have some in my mouth. It's delicious!
Auntie also braided my hair into pigtails and gave me a new hairband!"
Xiaoya was so happy that her voice was so crisp that everyone in the yard could hear her.
Ma Erhua is naturally no exception.
She slammed the door shut from the inside, then snorted coldly and looked at Wang Yueling, who was leaning on the bed with her eyes closed and not saying a word.
She cursed angrily, "I have never seen such an incompetent person as you! You are not ugly, are you? And we have raised you to be very delicate and tender, how come you can't even catch a 40-year-old man!"
