"I'm afraid of her. I don't want to see her! It's strange for you to say that almost ten days have passed. We both followed the previous agreement and came at the right time in order to avoid her. Today
What does she mean by coming so early? Seeing that the master is about to be discharged from the hospital, are you here to show your courtesy?"
"Mom, this is because you think too much. You think so much. Aunt Ji must not have paid attention to it. She probably came earlier because she has been free these days." Liu Tian answered uncharacteristically, as usual for the two.
Liu Tian never expresses his own opinions on family matters, and mostly follows what his mother says.
"Son, something is wrong with you today. Why are you talking to others? There is something wrong with you, something is wrong with you."
"No way, Mom, are you not past menopause yet?"
"Drive your car well!" Xiufen smelled a strange smell. She kept staring at her son in the rearview mirror, feeling more and more that something was wrong. After a long time, she finally said, "I understand! Are you right?"
Is there any lingering love for the daughter of the old Du family?"
He was just about to hit the brakes, and Liu Tian was really helpless, "Mom, what are you talking about? It's been so many years, how is it possible?"
"That's not sure. Something didn't feel right with you after you came back from the hospital last time. I've been observing you in the past few days and you've been absent-minded several times. It seems like you've met your childhood friend."
In Xiufen's impression, Du Juan is still very good. After all, Du Juan will greet her politely every time she sees her. From this point of view, she likes Du Juan in her heart, but she has nothing to deal with Du Juan's mother, but tonight
There are subtle changes.
"Mom, what do you want to eat tonight? How about we eat roast duck?" Liu Tian just wanted to get rid of this topic quickly.
Xiufen looked at the dial on the car and said, "What are you going to eat roast duck? I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. I can take a bite when I go home. I don't have yesterday's vegetable dumplings at home. I'll buy two kilograms of elbow meat from the alley entrance later and finish it quickly."
Do you still have to cover tonight?"
"Substitute?"
"Ji Yuyan said she made an appointment to meet someone tonight and asked me to take care of the old man for her tonight."
"Then...you agreed?" Liu Tian didn't believe that his mother would give in, "Weren't you hiding from me just now? Okay, Mom, it seems that you and Aunt Ji are getting along well over the past few days.
ah."
Xiufen said sternly, "Whatever you say, I pity her. If something big happens, don't delay any more. It's better to spend less time getting along with her."
"Yeah." Liu Tian nodded seriously, "If my mother's previous personality were to be allowed to go away, she would never let Aunt Ji go. This makes sense. You helped Aunt Ji take over the shift. It's normal for her to come early.
Yes, don’t worry, Mom, your relationship will get better and better in the future.”
Xiufen continued to ignore her son. She didn't know what his son was planning, but she still questioned her own actions: What's wrong with me? How can I be soft-hearted towards Ji Yuyan?
After a long while, Liu Tian drove his car and was about to turn into an alley, when he saw a crowd of people blocking the notice board at the entrance of the alley. They didn't know what they were looking at.
"It seems we can't get in. Mom, you go home first and I'll park the car in the parking lot."
"Okay, there are a lot of people this time, please take it easy."
Walking to the bulletin board, Xiufen also took a curious look. It was the admission brochure of Jinghuafang. Xiufen was shocked, and the neighbors started talking about it.
A gray-haired Hutong man who was very familiar with Jinghuafang said, "Lao Du's family has been working on Jinghuafang for many years. They recruited students several times in the early years, but there was no improvement. Now his daughter
We started doing it again, and the mother and daughter were struggling with it, but they had no direction and didn’t know what to do again.”
"Isn't this Jinghuafang just a place for people to make repairs? Why are they recruiting students this time? What are they recruiting? Tailors?" He held a popsicle in his hand, tilted his mouth, and looked cynical.
There was no such thing as a young boy, so Xiufen rolled her eyes at him.
"What they are doing is all non-heritage. I didn't see it written on it, silk people! Our silk people in the capital!" Someone seemed to understand. Xiufen turned around and it was none other than Lao Du standing beside her angrily. Everyone reacted.
, he was busy saying hello.
"Hey, Doctor Du?"
"Doctor Du, now that you are retired, you have a lot of free time. Can your daughter succeed in doing this? Didn't she fail several times before?"
Lao Du waved his hands and didn't listen to this person at all, "Please be quiet for a while. I know what my daughter is like. What she wants to do now, post it here. If you are interested, you can come to my house and ask. No.
Don’t say so much if you are interested.”
"Hey! I said Lao Du, your temper..." Someone in the crowd became impatient. Xiufen couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward and said, "Why can't the silk man be successful? This is what my family has been doing for many years.
We all live in the same alley, are you still unfamiliar with Jinghuafang? A few of them know about intangible cultural heritage, and they are all making sarcastic remarks here."
Everyone became quiet. Even the old man just turned around and left. Xiufen shouted to him, "Uncle Cui, don't leave. You just want to leave after you stir up trouble."
The uncle didn't listen and disappeared in a flash.
Someone in the crowd whispered, "Hurry up and leave. The golden scissors are here, and they are not easy to mess with."
"It's gone, let's go! Don't block the way. If you're interested, come to my house and have a look. If you're not interested, just leave it to yourself." Lao Du shouted at the crowd, and the crowd had almost dispersed. Lao Du
He turned around and thanked Xiufen, "I'm really sorry to trouble you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what other unpleasant things they would have said."
Xiufen became embarrassed and said, "Well...that's okay. I just saw that it's not appropriate for a group of people to bully a little girl here. Where's Du Juan, why isn't she here?"
"She went to the parking lot to hand out flyers."
Seeing that there was no one around, Xiufen asked in a low voice, "Lao Du, does Yu Yan know that your daughter is doing this?"
"I guess I don't know. I only found out about it this morning. These flyers are all newly printed. This girl locked herself in the house for several days. She thought she was depressed by the events of the past few days.
, I didn’t expect that she would pick up Yuyan’s old business again. She still wanted to recruit a group of people who like silk art by holding silk art classes and get Jinghuafang back on track.”
"Yuyan definitely doesn't agree with what this kid is doing! That stubborn woman's thoughts... I'm sorry." She almost told the truth, but Xiufen quickly changed her words, "Yuyan's thoughts are completely different from those of Du Juan.
In the second year after Jinghuafang was established, it was also done through enrollment, but as a result, Jinghuafang has always been unstable, and later it became a patchwork in everyone's mouth."
Lao Du had no choice but to know that Yuyan disagreed, but he supported his daughter Du Juan in whatever she wanted to do. "That's no choice. Now it seems that this is the only way to save Jinghuafang."
