The rich milky white chocolate lies quietly in the palm of your hand, and the sweet taste penetrates into your nose.
"You, how come you, a woman, don't know what reserve is?!" Peach Blossom Eyes held the chocolate in her palm, her hands shaking as if she was holding a packet of explosives.
Under the slightly dim light in the corridor, Hua Jin noticed that the other party's cheeks and ears were a little red. She just said a few words and her face turned red with anger? It's not good for adults to be so impatient.
Worried that the other party would get angry and hurt someone, Hua Jin leaned back her upper body. Before the other party could react, she took a few steps down quickly and was about to walk out of the safe passage.
"Wait!"
Hua Jin hesitated for a second between continuing to walk or turning back, then turned to look at the peach blossom eyes who stopped her: "Excuse me, is there anything else?"
"Is the chocolate expired?" He turned to look at the wall with his peach-blossom eyes. Standing against the light, he looked a bit like an aristocrat in an oil painting. He was beautiful and refined but out of tune with ordinary people.
Hua Jin blinked: "I bought it new, it's not expired."
He stared at her for a long time with peach blossom eyes, then bit into his mouth, with a look of disgust on his face: "It's sweet, greasy, and unpalatable."
After saying that, he was ready to throw it away, but he turned around and searched for a long time, but could not find the trash can, and his face suddenly became ugly. He looked at Hua Jin quietly, and Hua Jin continued to move towards the exit.
Be careful when teasing, as being mean can lead to trouble.
It’s all because the other person is so good-looking, which makes her make the same mistakes that many people make.
"Mr. Pei, why are you here?" A slightly fat man came to the safety passage on the second floor. On a March-April day, his head was covered with sweat. He seemed to be relieved when he saw Peach Blossom Eyes standing at the door.
"Fortunately you are not in the elevator. There was something wrong with the elevator on the second floor just now. Mr. Yang Shao was trapped in the elevator. The staff is making emergency repairs." The fat man saw that Mr. Pei's face was not good and thought it was this. Wei took the wrong route in the hospital, so he was in a bad mood, so he said: "Mr. Chen's ward is on the eighth floor. Please come with me."
"Did you bring tissues?" Pei Yan asked.
"Huh?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry when I came down just now, so I forgot to bring it with me."
"Forget it." Mr. Pei took out the handkerchief from his suit jacket pocket, wrapped the chocolate in his hand, and put it into his pocket.
"What are you doing?" The fat man looked at all this with confusion. Was the chocolate wrapped in a handkerchief just left after eating? It is rumored that Mr. Pei spends money like water, and many people like to seek investment from him. In the past two years, many people privately liked to call him a fool. Who would have thought that this guy who was lucky enough to invest randomly would actually make money on more than half of his investments, which surprised many people.
I didn’t expect that Mr. Pei, who is rumored to spend money like water, would be such a frugal person that he would even wrap up leftover chocolates. As expected, the richer people are, the stingier they are, and they are reluctant to throw away even half a piece of chocolate.
"Let's go." Mr. Pei turned to look at Hua Jin who was standing below, smiled, waved slightly to him, and slipped out of the passage.
"Mr. Pei?" The fat man took a few steps and found that the person was not following him. He wondered if he would do anything wrong in the future. He stopped and looked at the person uneasily.
"You said... a woman who was walking by the lake looking melancholy, with red eyes, and looking like she was about to commit suicide, why did she suddenly come to the hospital?" Mr. Pei suddenly asked.
"Maybe he is seriously ill and has financial difficulties?" The slightly fat man thought for a while and added, "Life is stressful now, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Mr. Pei thought that the woman was still in the mood to tease him, and she probably hadn't thought of committing suicide yet.
"A few years ago, a colleague of mine committed suicide without warning. He usually looked like a cheerful and normal person. Only after he passed away did we find out that his parents had passed away and his wife also passed away in an accident not long after." He shook his head and sighed, then extended his hand to invite Mr. Pei to enter the elevator, "Normally no one would notice that he has encountered so many unfortunate things. If we could have discovered it earlier and cared more about him, maybe we wouldn't have reached that point."
After finishing speaking, the slightly fat man realized that he had said too much. He turned around and saw that Mr. Pei's face had no abnormal color, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Jin did not go to the store, but went home and slept all afternoon. When she woke up, it was already dark outside. I got up and made myself a bowl of noodles. I turned on my phone and just browsed the web page for a while when I received a transfer from Yang Lin.
The transfer amount is 1200. After staring at the number for a while, she smiled and said thank you in return.
Yang Lin: You're welcome. I found out I'm pregnant today, so I'm sending you a red envelope to cheer you up.
Hua Jin smiled silently and replied to the other party: Thank you.
Yang Lin: I remember that you seemed to like to be happy back then. Once, a newlywed couple held a wedding banquet and gave our waiter a wedding banquet. You happily ate up all the candy, saying that it would bring happiness.
Hua Jin put down her phone, ate up the already mushy noodles, got up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. This house is too old, and if used bowls are not washed immediately, they may attract insects.
After cleaning up the house, she posted several photos of the finished embroidery products on Weibo. She doesn't have many fans on her Weibo. Occasionally one or two people will like or comment on her, but most of the time she just entertains herself.
Two days later, when Hua Jin finished processing the carp embroidery pieces, she received a text message.
"Thank you, Miss Hua Jin. My family is leaving today. She likes the quilt you embroidered very much. Thank you."
After seeing this text message, Hua Jin felt a little uncomfortable in her throat. She stood up and poured a glass of water. She drank several gulps before suppressing the feeling. Through the transparent window, she looked at the passers-by outside the store and took a few deep breaths.
“Wow, I didn’t expect that embroidered bags can be so beautiful.”
Hua Jin looked at the door, and a man and woman walked in. The girl who spoke was wearing a waist skirt and a scarf around her neck. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes were slightly curved, and she was pretty and a little playful.
She saw Hua Jin and pointed to the bag on the shelf: "Can you show me this bag?"
"Okay." Hua Jin took off the bag and handed it to the female customer.
The female customer held the bag in her hand and looked at it several times in front of the mirror: "This bag is so beautiful. What's the pattern on it? It's so gorgeously embroidered but not tacky at all. It's really rare."
"The patterns on it are mainly peach, lotus, and bat patterns. The entire embroidery is called Luck and Longevity. It not only has a good meaning, but is also very beautiful and gorgeous." Hua Jin glanced at the other party's fair skin and said, "But For a fair-skinned and bright-looking beauty like you, whatever bag you carry is just an embellishment."
When the female customer heard this, she felt very happy. She couldn't help but choose another shawl and a painted jewelry box in the store before leaving with a smile on her face. Before leaving, I heard that Hua Jin also made other embroidery products, and took the initiative to add her on WeChat.
No one can reject beautiful things, this is nature.
The man gently wrapped the urn with the dragon and phoenix quilt that his wife had gently caressed before she was alive. When he comes to a big city to pay for his wife's medical treatment, countless people tell him that even coming to a hospital in a big city is just a waste of money, and even his wife doesn't want to come.
If you come for treatment, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don’t come, you can only wait to die.
He has been married to his mother-in-law for more than 20 years, and he has not let her enjoy any good things. He is already incompetent. How can he let her endure the pain day and night and wait to die in order to save money?
At least there were painkillers and analgesic injections in the hospital. At least she was allowed to come to the most prosperous city to see it, and there was also the dragon and phoenix quilt he had promised for many years.
"Brother, please express your condolences." The young man who sent him to the station claimed to be someone from the Internet. He heard about his mother-in-law's illness from somewhere and insisted on donating money. When he saw that he refused to accept it, he I often come to visit, and this time I helped him buy a train ticket using his mobile phone.
The man shook his head and hugged the box in his arms tightly: "That's good, she doesn't have to suffer anymore."
The young man Ka looked at the man's weathered face, his expression full of emotion: "Can I tell others about you and your wife?"
"What stories can people like us have?" The man's face was tired and sad, but his eyes were bright. Bringing his wife home was a breath of support for him to continue walking.
"You spent all your family's money for your wife, ate steamed buns and drank cold drinks every day. If other people knew about these things, many people would be moved."
"What's so touching about this? We are husband and wife, shouldn't we take care of each other?" The man gently wiped the surface of the box, even though it was spotless, "When you become a couple, you are a person who will spend a lifetime together. There’s nothing worth saying about being kind to your own people.”
"Although the cost of being sick and hospitalized is a bit more, medical insurance can still reimburse part of it. If I work for a few more years, I can pay off the debt. I have kept the house at home and haven't sold it yet. How can it be considered a waste? Spend all your wealth."
The man left with his wife's ashes. The young man looked at his slightly hunched back with complicated emotions.
That night, he went home, wrote down the story, and posted it on Weibo.
When writing this story, he told it in a straightforward manner, without sensationalism or deliberately exaggerating anything, because the whole story itself is a kind of emotion.
In real life, he is a relatively successful white-collar worker. On the Internet, he is an emotional blogger with hundreds of thousands of fans. After this Weibo post was posted, it attracted many people to forward and discuss it.
Every character in this story is cute and warm.
The husband who is poor but spends all his money for his wife, the husband who has no money but feels that he cannot take money for nothing, the doctors and nurses who take care of the couple, the blogger who wants to help the couple, and the blogger who stays up late to embroider The owner of an embroidery shop who wears dragon and phoenix quilts but doesn't charge much money.
Some netizens said that this is not a love story, but a somewhat sad and touching story of human tenderness.
