C78

During the evening, class started to resume at the eighth day of university. Cao Xiaolian had not been to school for several days. Huang Fang panicked. She could not hold it in any longer and headed straight to the entrance of Cao Xiaolian's factory.

Grandpa Li had a pair of reading glasses and was taking notes. When he saw a young man standing at the door, he raised his head and asked, "Hey! Comrade, may I ask who you are looking for? "

"Oh, grandpa, I'm looking for Cao Xiaoling."

"Xiao Lian?" When Grandpa Li heard this, he immediately became suspicious. He carefully sized him up and asked, "Who are you? Why are you looking for Xiao Lian?"

"I'm Cao Xiaolian's classmate." Huang Fang quickly revealed her identity: "I just saw that she hasn't been to school for a few days. I was afraid that she might feel uncomfortable somewhere, so I came over to take a look."

"Oh!" When Grandpa Li heard this, he immediately understood. He had a good impression of this young man in front of him and felt that he was rather concerned about his classmates. He waved for him to come in and wait.

"You wait here first." Grandpa Li smiled, "The factory will be off duty at 5: 30 in the evening. There's still half an hour left."

"Sigh!"

Uncle Li was so bored that he started chatting with Huang Fang and Huang Yi. Huang Fang wanted to find out more about Cao Xiaoliu from Uncle Li's mouth. The two chatted all the way until they got off work.

"Sigh!" "He's out."

Master Li smiled as he beckoned to the familiar figure. "Xiao Lian, someone is looking for you here."

Cao Xiaolian was walking with her head down as she was troubled by this matter. She raised it to look when she heard Grandpa Li's words. "Huang Fang, why are you here?"

"The teacher asked me to come and ask why you didn't go to school for so many days?"

The excuse was that he had already thought about it long ago. Cao Xiaolian hadn't been to school for a few days, but he didn't mind as much as she did. They were all from the public, and he didn't know if they would come or not.

Cao Xiaolian thought it was true, "Oh, I had something to do in the past few days and forgot to tell teacher. I'll have to trouble you to go back and tell teacher about it."

"What's going on? Why are you so busy?" Huang Fang saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and said with a pained heart, "Did you not eat properly? How can you be so thin?"

"Black looks thin."

Huang Fang saw that she didn't even bother to open her mouth, so she just kept quiet.

Cao Xiaolian was walking in the front while he was following behind her.

When they were almost to Cao Xiaoling's apartment, she turned around and asked, "How long are you going to follow me?"

Huang Fang curled her lips, feeling wronged. "I thought you were planning to never talk to me."

He looked at Cao Xiaolian pitifully like a wounded child.

She sighed, "Huang Fang, to be honest, do you like me?"

He did not expect Cao Xiaolan to ask this question. He froze for a moment and then his face flushed like a cooked shrimp.

Seeing this scene, what could she not understand?

At first, he thought it was just a normal relationship between fellow students, but then all sorts of actions by Huang Fang came to mind. It was not hard to guess that he had fallen for her.

Cao Xiaolian was speechless. This was way too much. It was a pity that she didn't have any such thoughts at the moment.

"Huang Fang." Cao Xiaoling's eyes were filled with helplessness as she said, "I only have feelings for you as a classmate."

"No problem, I can wait." He waved his hand, his face red as he spoke from the bottom of his heart, "I know you're still young, but it's too sudden to tell you this. But I'm not a bad person. Believe me, I can wait for you to grow up."

"Huang Fang." Cao Xiaoling interrupted him, "Don't you understand? It has nothing to do with age. Even if ten more years pass, I still won't like you. "

"Why?" He was stunned, and his eyes were hurt. "What did I do badly?"

"No, it's my own fault."

"You yourself?" Huang Fang's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Don't tell me, you already have someone you like?"

Cao Xiaolian did not know how to respond to him, so she gave in and said, "I guess so."

"Who is it?" Huang Fang was a little angry: "You're only seventeen, how come you already have someone you like?"

I am seventeen and you like me just the same.

Cao Xiaolian resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "That's my problem. I'm just telling you that you and I are not going to have any chance, so don't waste your time on me."

With that, she went upstairs.

Huang Fang stood downstairs, biting her lips, unwilling to leave.

When he returned home, he was surprised to find that Tian Fugui's entire family was there.

"Sigh!" Auntie Gui Hua? " Cao Xiaoling was surprised. "When did you arrive?"

"She came at noon. Your mother insisted on letting us finish our lunch. We could only eat another meal with our faces full of shame."

Gui Hua Niang was still smiling, but Tian Fugui had become a lot fatter.

"My mom would be happy if you could stay. It would be best if you stayed at our house and ate like this every day."

"Look at this girl, she's really speaking." Aunt Tian laughed out loud: "No wonder he runs a factory, he only knows how to talk."

"Aunt, how are you and my uncle doing at the meat joint?"

Cao Xiaolian peeled an apple and gave it to Tian Guihua. She glanced at her mother for a moment before timidly taking the apple.

His personality had changed, and he wasn't as arrogant as when he was young.

"That's why I came this time." Cao Xiaoling was stunned. "Is there something wrong with that?"

"No, your aunt came over and gave me a pig's leg." I said no, she wouldn't do it, she had to be polite with me. "

Mother Cao complained, "You are too kind, her sister-in-law. How many times have you helped us all these years? How do you expect us to repay you for this favor?"

"I wonder how nice it is that Xiao Lian found us this job." Mother Gui Hua held onto Xiao Lian's hand and said apologetically, "Xiao Lian, I didn't know about this earlier, so I told your mother about it."

"Huh?" Cao Xiaolian did not react. She turned around and looked at her mother, only to find that her smile was forced, "It's alright. Mom knows everything about the factory."

"Mom."

Cao Xiaolian had not said anything about it. She was afraid that her mother would not be able to take the blow, so she wanted to keep it a secret for a day. She did not expect that her mother would slip up because of the arrival of Gui Hua's family.

"It's all because of your aunt." Tian Fugui was dissatisfied. After all, the job Cao Xiaoling asked for was their benefactor. "I told you to bring your brain and brain along when you went out. Why do you look so loose without it?"

Gui Hua Niang was also wronged, but she knew that this was caused by herself. Although she had already comforted Cao Ma for a long time, she was still afraid that she would fall ill if her heart did not settle down.

"Xiao Lian."

Seeing that Gui Hua Niang was a staunch and resolute woman, looking at her with a cautious look, Cao Xiaoling could not bear to see it, "Aunt, I don't blame you. Initially, this matter was covered by paper and could not be put on fire. I had planned to tell my mother about it in the next two days."

After saying that, she turned to Mother Cao and said, "Mom, the check-up has been completed. They said that we used duck feathers that are sick. I don't know what's going on, but when we went to load the ducks, we didn't have the disease. "

Mother Cao finally understood why her daughter looked so tired recently.

Her heart ached. "I know very well what my own child is like. It's good that you're narrow-minded. How could you do such a heinous thing? We have to trust the government to return your innocence."

Cao Xiaolian smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid things won't be as simple this time. The factory may not be able to open up any more."

"What? It's that serious?"

Mother Gui Hua was shocked. "Xiao Lian, you better think things through properly. If this wasn't done by us, we can't be blamed by this person."

"Exactly." Tian Fugui agreed as well. "That factory, how big is it? If it's closed, then it's closed. It doesn't matter how much effort it has put in."

Mother Cao's heart ached when she saw her daughter sitting in the middle with a helpless look on her face.

"Forget it, if we really can't open it, then we won't open it." Now that she had a house and several tens of thousands of dollars in savings, she would not open a factory in the future. Her daughter loved to read books, so she could find a job wherever she went. How could a living person piss to death?

"Your mother is right. Xiao Lian, don't think too much."

During dinner time, besides Tian Fugui himself eating and drinking, the two of them had to look at Cao Xiaoluo for fear that she might be in a bad mood as they exchanged a few words. However, when they realized that their daughter was eating with relish and taking care of the flowers, the two of them began to talk privately.

After dinner, Tian Fugui drank until he was drunk and spoke a lot more.

"Xiao Lian, you didn't tell that Wang Ziwen. You say a fine young man is with a widow. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I've really never stuck to a woman before in my eight lifetimes."

Mother Cao was extremely embarrassed. Gui Hua was so angry that she wanted to cover his mouth. "You can start talking nonsense if you just drink a bit of horse urine. If you continue talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off."

"How dare you!" After drinking, Tian Fugui felt that he was the head of the family. He glared at Jiang Chen like a stubborn donkey, "Women have to act like women. I'll let you order every day at home, and you'll be able to overturn the heavens. Be careful, or I'll find someone outside and tell you to take a look."

"Alright then, you should hurry up and look for it. I really want it so much." Gui Hua Niang was also angry, "If you're crazy, go out and send it. Don't embarrass yourself in her house."

"Hmph, Xiao Lian's family. That's my family." Tian Fugui reeked of alcohol as he slurred, "Xiao Lian, have you contacted that university student since then?"

"Which university student?"

"Are you playing dumb with Uncle?" Tian Fugui chuckled, "It's that Tsinghua University student. You forgot, the two of you even made a call."

"Hehehe, I knew it, our Xiao Lian will definitely be a golden phoenix flying out of a mountain." Hehehehe, I knew it, our Xiao Lian will definitely be a golden phoenix flying out of a mountain.

Cao Xiaoliu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Uncle, there's really nothing going on between us. I've been asking for his help since then."

"Then why didn't she help me pinch him?" Tian Fugui patted his chest. "Don't be modest. If you marry a good family in the future, remember to give our Gui Hua a hand. This ugly girl, if she had half your heart, I would even burn incense in my sleep."

Mother Cao was so angry that her face turned ashen. It was hard to say what would hinder an old friendship. Mother Gui Hua also knew that she had offended someone this time. It was hard to explain, so he could only push Tian Fugui away, "You old bastard, we're going back. Now that you're going downstairs, no one will stop you no matter how drunk you are."

"Gui Hua, let's go." Mother Gui Hua pulled at the osmanthus flower and apologized to Mother Cao, "Big sister, I am truly sorry. This old thing would talk nonsense after drinking some wine. Don't bother with him. Don't open the door for him when he comes again. I don't have the face to see you again. "

"What are you saying? I don't know who you are." Mother Cao sighed, "In the future, tell young master Tian to drink some wine. We're no longer in the village, it's too easy to offend people."

"Girl, you're so generous. I really have no face. Alright, I'll take this shameless thing back first. I'll apologize to you another day when he wakes up from his drinking."

After he finished speaking, he dragged Tian Fugui and pushed him towards the door.

When the door closed again, the season was finally peaceful.
