Secretary Huo had expected it a long time ago and said sincerely: "Whoever marries the daughter of the Gu family will own the land that is developed by the Gu family. The wealth will not flow to other people's land. The uncle is helping you. The second young lady is about the same age as you.
."
Huo Tao thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "No, cousin, if you don't want it, just give it to me! Uncle, you are not being kind enough to do this."
"How do you know it's unkind if you haven't seen it? I think that girl is better than Gu Lifei, and she is not impetuous." Secretary Huo said.
Right!
You are at home anyway!
"Then I'll sneak over and take a look. If it looks beautiful, I'll think about it again."
Although Secretary Huo thought that Huo Tao should look down on that girl, he would be more hopeful if he met her: "Go! Get your mother to identify her for you."
Huo Tao went downstairs and asked his mother. His mother was so busy that she didn't notice Miss Gu Er. After looking around, she didn't see Xiao Yi: "Maybe you went back! When are you free?"
I asked Mrs. Gu to invite her out to meet you."
Huo Tao suddenly felt very boring: "In a few days!"
Xiaoyi hid in the garden for a while. The air in the yard was very good and it was empty. She was the only one. The hustle and bustle inside and the silence outside seemed to be in obvious contrast.
She lay down on the grass. She had very little time to sleep every day, so she could take advantage of this opportunity to get some sleep.
As soon as she lay down, Huo Yuncheng called her up: "Don't be like a beggar, go back to sleep."
"You are the beggar, what do you think I think? My mother won't let me go back before ten o'clock." In the blurry darkness, a figure could be vaguely seen, and when the sound was spliced together, she remembered who it was. Xiaoyi stared.
He glanced at it, turned around and went back to sleep.
"Wait a minute, the hem of your skirt is torn." He turned his head away from looking at her. A big hole was torn in the hem of her skirt, and her snow-white thighs were almost fully visible.
"Yeah! This is borrowed. Can you help me get my needle and thread? Give me a flashlight by the way." Xiaoyi glanced at the torn hem of her skirt distressedly. Maybe she was too tired recently, and she seemed to be seeing things now.
It's a little blurry and needs the help of a flashlight.
"You want to sew it yourself?"
"Of course." Make enough food and clothing by yourself.
"Wait for me." He turned around and was about to leave. He turned around and took off his coat when he remembered something. He carried her on his back and handed it over with one hand: "Cover it up, it's so ugly."
"Thank you." Xiaoyi didn't reply. She was so embarrassed that she took it to cover the rotten hem of her skirt. Suddenly she felt that Uncle Xiao Huo wasn't too bad after all.
After a while, Huo Yuncheng brought a sewing box. It was a big box with threads of all colors. Xiaoyi took it and threaded the needle and thread carefully and began to sew. Huo Yuncheng sat aside and watched her work as a female worker. She was very fast.
Quickly, threading and sewing seems to be her specialty: "Do you often do needlework?"
"I majored in fashion design, and occasionally I would make some dolls to sell at the night market." When I had good materials and time, I would also make costumes for Xiaobai's performances.
"Are you short of money?"
Xiaoyi nodded: "I'm just short of money recently."
"Do you want me to lend it to you?"
"I've already borrowed it." She already owed him some favors, and she didn't want to owe him any more because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to pay it back.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiaoyi got on the car sent by the Gu family to pick her up on time, and the car drove back to the Gu family.
Gu Hongwei and Mrs. Gu heard the noise and came out. When Gu Hongwei saw his daughter whom he had not seen for a long time, he felt guilty and happy at the same time. He greeted her with a forced smile: "Xiao Yi! Did you have fun today?"
