Hua Jin said nothing and looked at the man in the sports car quietly.
Under Hua Jin's gaze, the handsome man's smile became a little stiff, and he even twisted his **** uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Sir, it is the responsibility of every citizen to obey traffic rules." Hua Jin pointed to the road sign next to it, which read "No parking on this section."
The conversation turned into a traffic law promotion, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
The man was not angry after Hua Jin gave her a blunt rebuttal. He glanced sideways at Hua Jin and said, "Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Watching the sports car disappear at the corner of the street, Hua Jin held on to the fence behind her and coughed repeatedly. The air quality has not been very good in the past few days, and there are catkins flying everywhere. Just a few steps after she walked out of the hotel door, the catkins made her nose choke and her eyes red, and she almost couldn't breathe.
I didn’t expect that there would be so many willow trees on this section of the road. For people with sensitive respiratory tracts, this is simply full of malice.
Behind the fence is a huge artificial lake. The lake is quite clean and there is no plastic waste. Facing the lake and taking a few deep breaths, someone suddenly tapped her shoulder from behind. Hua Jin turned around and looked back, and saw an old couple standing behind her. The one patting her on the shoulder was the smiling old lady.
"Girl, don't think too much about anything. It's windy here. Don't catch a cold on you." The old lady pointed to the public seats in the distance.
"No, no, thank you." Reluctantly suppressing the urge to cough, Hua Jin took out a handkerchief from her bag and put it between her mouth and nose, "Sorry, I have some allergies in my nose."
"Oh, it's okay if it's an allergy." The old lady nodded several times, "In previous years, catkins start to fall after April. I don't know what's going on this year. It's only the end of March, and they're all over the sky. This thing."
He tilted his head and coughed a few times, then Hua Jin made a loud sound and said, "Yes, yes."
"Then don't stay here. There are willow trees planted on the nearby roads. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." The old lady was very enthusiastic. She and her wife helped Hua Jin hail a taxi and took Hua Jin. Jin stuffed it in.
Hua Jin was a little embarrassed by the two old people. She was a young person in her late twenties, but she was allergic to catkins, so she asked the old people to help stop the car: "It's really troublesome for you."
"As long as everything is fine." The old lady smiled and waved her hand towards Hua Jin, indicating to the driver that he could drive.
The driver glanced at Hua Jin in the rearview mirror, drove the car a certain distance, and couldn't help but said: "Little girl, life is very long, and there are still many hopes for the future. Don't make such mistakes just because of trivial matters. Things that hurt yourself."
Hua Jin was a little confused when she heard this, and nodded in agreement with a smile.
When the car became quiet, Hua Jin took out the makeup mirror from her bag and looked at her face. Who is this woman with red eyes and red nose? Who is the woman with beautiful curly hair blown into a mess by the wind?
So the uncle and aunt just sent her to the car, were they worried that she would not be able to think about it?
"A few days ago, there was a little girl who couldn't let go of her love. She jumped into the lake. When she was fished out, her whole body was white and swollen. Her relatives were lying on the lakeside crying until they fainted." The driver said. Sighing, "The little girl is pitiful, and her family is pitiful as well. It feels so uncomfortable to choke on the water."
"Oh, by the way. The lake where the little girl drowned is right where you got on the bus." Seeing that Hua Jin didn't respond, the driver added a few words, "You young people don't like to say anything online. , there is nothing that food cannot solve, if one meal is not enough, just eat two.”
After listening to the uncle explore the meaning of life to the philosophy of food, and then talk about the philosophy of food and the popularity of the Internet, when she got off the bus, Hua Jin felt that her body and mind had been cleansed and sublimated.
After returning home to take off her makeup and take a shower, Hua Jin felt relieved when she saw that her eyes were no longer red and swollen.
Aunt Gao once said that eyes and hands are the most important things for an embroiderer. If she wants to go further in Shu embroidery, stand taller and become a true craftsman, she must protect her hands and eyes. .
So unless necessary, she would try to avoid staying up late to make embroidery. This would cause too much damage to her eyes.
Opening the curtains, Hua Jin did a set of eye exercises. When she heard her cell phone ringing, the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. When she saw where the number belonged, she paused for a moment while pressing the call button before answering the call.
"Hello, I am Hua Jin, the embroiderer at Fanhua Shu Embroidery Studio."
"Hello," the person on the other end of the phone stammered, "I am the person who customized the dragon and phoenix quilt last time. I would like to ask if you can help me make the quilt in advance. I am willing to join you. Money, really, I am willing to add money, as long as you are willing to help me make it in advance!"
"Sir, please don't be anxious." The moment she heard the other party's voice, Hua Jin remembered who the other party was. She noticed that something was wrong with the other party's mood and tried to slow down her tone, "Speak slowly."
"The doctor said that my mother-in-law... doesn't have long to live. She has been unable to eat in the past few days and has to rely on painkillers to barely sleep." The man's voice was choked, "I just want her to be covered. Such a beautiful quilt, I...I..."
Listening to the incomprehensible crying on the phone, Hua Jin pursed her lower lip and looked at the half-finished embroidery on the embroidery stand: "Is it okay for five days? I will make the dragon and phoenix quilt in five days. I’ll deliver it to you, please send me the shipping address.”
"Thank you, thank you." The man kept saying thank you, but other than thank you, he couldn't say any other beautiful words.
Hua Jin hung up the phone, looked out the window full of sunshine, took a deep breath, and sat in front of the embroidery frame.
There are many legends about dragons and phoenixes. Some say that dragons and phoenixes are naturally at odds with each other and will fight fiercely whenever they meet, so it is called a dragon-phoenix fight. But the more mainstream view, or in many traditional cultures, is that the appearance of dragon and phoenix at the same time is auspicious, also known as dragon and phoenix presenting good fortune.
So when embroidering dragons and phoenixes to present auspiciousness, it is not only enough to embroider dragons, phoenixes and auspicious clouds, but more importantly, to capture the harmonious charm between dragons and phoenixes, so that people who see this embroidery, first The first feeling is harmony, beauty and happiness.
In traditional perception, the scales and feathers of the phoenix are very beautiful, and a great feature of Shu embroidery is that the threads are brightly colored, which is perfect for embroidering dragons and phoenixes.
In these five days, Hua Jin spent most of her energy on embroidering dragon and phoenix quilts. By the time she finished processing the quilt, it was already four o'clock in the morning on the fifth day. She had slept in bed for two or three hours, and climbed out of bed with difficulty amidst the continuous screams of the alarm clock.
For seriously ill patients who cannot sleep or eat, every waking moment is precious and Huajin cannot afford to waste it.
Taking a taxi to the hospital, when Hua Jin called the other party, it took a while for the other party to answer, her voice tired and desperate.
Hua Jin said: "Take good care of your family. No need to come down, I will send it up to you."
The corridors of the hospital are crowded with beds. The faces of the sick and the family members caring for the patients are full of haggard. When Hua Jin found the man who customized the dragon and phoenix quilt, he was sitting against the wall, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand. Seeing Hua Jin coming over, he tried to force out a smile, but failed.
When handing the quilt to the man, Hua Jin saw a critical illness notice among the pieces of paper in his hand. On the hospital bed closest to him, a sallow-faced, thin woman was sleeping on a ventilator.
The man took out a stack of money from his bag and handed it to Hua Jin. Hua Jin took two out of it: "No need for the others."
"Then how can you get it?" The man was so anxious that he spoke in dialect, "If you can't do it, you have to give what you should give. It's not easy for you young people to make money."
"A deposit and two hundred yuan are enough." Hua Jin did not accept any other money, "It is rare to meet fellow villagers after so many years outside. You can keep the remaining money to take good care of my eldest sister and those who are still studying. Children."
The man's eyes were red, and after a while he nodded emphatically: "Thank you."
He took a deep look at Hua Jin, as if he wanted to remember her appearance in his heart.
Hua Jin did not disturb the couple again, walked through the corridor with the strong smell of disinfectant, and then got lost in the winding corridors of the hospital. It was hard to find the elevator, but after entering, I discovered that the elevator only stops on even-numbered floors, not odd-numbered floors.
On the second floor, Hua Jin came out of the elevator. Before she had even taken two steps, she heard a scream not far away: "Wait, wait, press the button for me."
If the opponent hadn't been running in this direction, Hua Jin almost thought it was a pineapple essence. A yellow jacket, yellow hair, and a pair of wealthy gold sneakers.
Such a shining color made her help him press the elevator button involuntarily. However, it was too late, the elevator was already rising upstairs.
"Pineapple Essence" gasped and stood in front of the elevator door, turned his head and said feebly: "Beauty, thank you."
"You're welcome." Hua Jin couldn't help but look at the other person twice. Nowadays, there are not many young people who can still have the feelings of Mashat, and they need to be protected.
The elevator in the hospital was crowded almost 24 hours a day. Hua Jin found a safe passage and went downstairs. There was a very strange smell in the passage. Hua Jin, who had stayed up late for several days in a row, smelled the smell and the smell of disinfectant. She suddenly became light-headed and almost rolled down the stairs.
"Beauty, it seems that we are destined for each other, but the price of falling down the stairs to throw myself into my arms is a bit high." Someone stretched out his hand to give her a hand, and then quickly took his hand back.
Standing her body against the handrail of the stairs, Hua Jin looked intently into a pair of watery peach blossom eyes.
It was the sports car guy I met outside the hotel five days ago.
This time the other party was wearing a white shirt and a blue suit vest, and he looked a lot more serious.
"The price is worth it. Didn't you take the initiative to bring it to me?" Hua Jin took out the chocolate from her bag. She had stayed up late and had no breakfast. She might have low blood sugar.
Cut the chocolate in half and put one half into the other person's hand: "Although I don't like men who are too proactive, I am very satisfied with your appearance. This is a reward for you."
We are all members of society, who wouldn’t take advantage of words?
