After New Year's Day …
Mi Xiang 'er went to Feng Shifeng's tailor shop as an apprentice …
A few days later, Mo Dongyang came looking for her. Feng Shifeng wasn't around, so Feng Xiuzhu and Mi Xiang 'er were cutting clothes in the room. When they heard the door open, they turned to look. Mi Xiang' er was fine, but Feng Xiuzhu immediately blushed and lowered her head.
Mi Xiang 'er glanced at her sensitively … After getting along with her for three to four months, she felt that Feng Xiuzhu was a good girl. However, she was too introverted and hadn't had a boyfriend yet. She was a young lady in her late twenties, but she still hadn't gotten married. Feng Shifeng always sighed and occasionally said a few words to her:
"Your mother passed away early and your sister is already married. You can't always stay by my side. I'm not chasing you away, but you have to live your own life."
"If you have someone you like, just tell me … If you're embarrassed, I can go and ask for their hand in marriage!"
"A girl at your age shouldn't have set her sights too high. It's fine if you're not satisfied."
"…"
Simply put, it was the same no matter what era one's parents were pushing for marriage.
No matter what her father said, Feng Xiuzhu didn't respond. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
At this moment …
As soon as she saw Mo Dongyang enter, she blushed and rushed to the kitchen to brew a pot of tea. She turned sideways and poured a cup for Mo Dongyang. "Mo … Big Brother, please have some tea!"
She didn't call him "Young Master Mo" like her father did.
Mo Dongyang nodded casually and casually took the teacup. He accidentally touched her fingertips, and Feng Xiuzhu hurriedly took half a step back. She loosened her grip a little too quickly, and the teacup fell to the ground with a "clatter" and broke into two halves.
Feng Xiuzhu's face turned even redder. She hurriedly bent down to pick up the broken pieces.
Mo Dongyang sighed. "Be careful of your hand!"
It might have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but the moment he spoke, Feng Xiuzhu raised her head to look at him. Her hand had really touched the broken pieces. She frowned and hissed. She hurriedly put her finger into her mouth and sucked on it.
Although Mo Dongyang wasn't considered a warm man, he was extremely meticulous. When he saw this scene, he casually grabbed a towel and squatted down to pass it to Feng Xiuzhu.
When their eyes met, Feng Xiuzhu hurriedly lowered her head.
Mo Dongyang was probably used to her shyness … After all, they had known each other for many years. He didn't mind. "Hey, are you bleeding? Hurry up and wipe it! If there's a wound, wash it with water. Don't forget to apply some mercurochrome! "
Mi Xianger also walked over slowly. "Sister Xiuzhu, are you okay?"
She hurriedly tried to pick up the broken pieces.
Mo Dongyang immediately stopped her. "You're pregnant. Don't lean over here! There's water on the ground. Be careful not to fall again. "
He stooped down and swept the broken pieces into the cup …
Feng Xiuzhu stood at the side and watched … She saw Mo Dongyang's thick, short hair, which made his facial features look even clearer. Under his black woolen coat, he wore a turtleneck sweater, which showed off his well-proportioned and slender figure. His whole person exuded a devilish aura with a hint of scholarly elegance. She couldn't help but be mesmerized by him.
Mi Xianger pursed her lips and smiled. She nudged her lightly with her elbow.
Feng Xiuzhu seemed to have woken up from a dream. Her face was as red as an apple. She held her braid with both hands and rushed out the door.
Mo Dongyang was still a little puzzled. He muttered softly, "What's the meaning of this? Why did she suddenly run away again?"
Mi Xianger tilted her head. Instead of answering, she asked, "Brother Mo, I've known you for so long, but I haven't seen your girlfriend yet!"
Mo Dongyang smiled mischievously. "You haven't, right?"
"No!"
He propped up his white teeth. "I haven't seen her either!"
Mi Xianger blinked her big watery eyes. "Then … Brother Mo, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of person are you looking for?"
Mo Dongyang was a little embarrassed … He was probably not used to talking about this with a girl.
He scratched his forehead. "This … isn't up to me to decide, right? Love is not something you can get just because you want it. You like someone, but they don't like you. If they end up together, it will be the most impossible couple! Take you and Tiger Yun for example. I still can't see how the two of you can get together. Anyway, let fate decide! It's all up to God! "
Mi Xianger nodded silently. She walked slowly to the door and suddenly pulled it open … Feng Xiuzhu was standing outside, bending over to listen to the movements in the room. When she saw Mi Xianger, she smiled embarrassedly. "I … changed Brother Mo's cup!"
Mi Xianger hesitated for a moment before she moved forward slightly. She lowered her voice and said in her ear, "Sister Xiuzhu, sometimes, a woman can't be passive. She has to take the initiative to fight for her own happiness."
Feng Xiuzhu looked at her in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Mo Dongyang asked curiously from behind, "What are you two whispering about?"
Feng Xiuzhu's face was obviously nervous. She grabbed Mi Xianger's arm and shook her head gently.
Mi Xianger understood … She liked Mo Dongyang, but she didn't have the courage to confess. She was even afraid that he would see through her feelings, so she raised her voice and deliberately changed the topic. "Brother Mo, we were just talking about changing a pot of good tea for you!"
"Oh! No need, I'm leaving now! " Mo Dongyang took it seriously and hurried out of the room. "I'm here because I have something to discuss with you. I've already contacted Wu Jiefang, and we'll be there tonight. Is there anything else you need to prepare?"
Wu Jiefang?
That meant they were going to gamble tonight.
Mi Xianger thought for a moment. "Then let's buy a few sets of poker cards. No matter what we play, poker cards will be useful! "
Mo Dongyang usually thought that he was pretty smart, but every time he worked with Mi Xiang 'er, he couldn't guess what she was thinking or her next move. He simply stopped guessing and nodded. "Alright then, I'll pick you up when the time comes!"
Without hesitation, he quickly walked out of the Feng Family's courtyard.
Mi Xianger then turned to Feng Xiuzhu. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and didn't say anything. She just smiled at her.
Feng Xiuzhu felt embarrassed under her gaze. She lowered her head and pretended to work … But her mind wasn't on the clothes at all. She had been a "skilled worker" for so many years. Sewing buttons? When she was working, she actually pricked her hand with a needle.
Mi Xianger sighed softly … She didn't intend to be a busybody and force her. She put her hands on her waist and sat back on the chair. She lowered her head and continued to cut. She asked softly, "Sister Xiuzhu, do you want to talk about it? How did you and Brother Mo meet? "
She didn't expect Feng Xiuzhu to answer, but who knew that she would open her mouth leisurely … Perhaps even the most introverted person would need to find an outlet to vent after holding back for so long. "Mo Dongyang and I used to be primary school classmates!"
"Ah?"
Feng Xiuzhu took a deep breath. It was as if she wanted to say all the words that she had held back for so many years. "He had eight sisters, but he only had one precious son. He was pampered by the family and had a bad temper. We students privately gave him the nickname … Mo Jiubao!"
"…"
"After that, we went to junior high together. My family's situation worsened day by day. There were people who bullied me in school. There was even one time … a few soldiers wanted to cut my Yin Yang hair. You know my personality, I wouldn't resist, and I didn't dare to resist. I was pinned to the ground and my head was almost shaved in half. Then, Mo Dongyang came …"
Feng Xiuzhu slightly faced the window. The warm afternoon sun enveloped her, and she looked completely different. A warm smile replaced her usual loneliness. "I don't know why he helped me. Maybe it's because … we went to the same school? Anyway, that time, for my sake, he fought with a few soldiers with his bare hands. "
"…"
"After that, he won. He came over with a swollen eye and a half-limped leg. He put his old military cap on my head to cover my ugly hairstyle. I remember it very clearly. It was October, and the sun was especially beautiful …" Li Du's eyes were swollen with a black eye.
She stopped talking, and her eyes were filled with fascination. She seemed to have traveled through time and space, and in an instant, she returned to that unforgettable scene.
Oh!
So they were childhood sweethearts, and the hero saved the damsel in distress.
Mi Xianger didn't continue and quietly waited for her to continue.
After a long time …
Feng Xiuzhu looked as if she had just woken up from a dream. She shyly pinched her braids and continued, "After that, my father moved here to open a shop. He was new here, so of course he was bullied. No matter what happened to our family, as long as Mo Dongyang knew the news, he would come to help. It can be said that if it weren't for him all these years, my family wouldn't have survived until now. My father might have moved back to his hometown and not stayed in Shanghai!"
She blushed again. "Anyway, I think that Mo Jiu is a good person. No matter what others say or think of him … in my eyes, he is a man of indomitable spirit."
Mi Xianger narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Sister Xiuzhu, why don't you test him and see what he thinks? Maybe … he likes you too! "
Feng Xiuzhu smiled bitterly and shook her hand. "Me? How can I be worthy of Mo Jiu? I don't look outstanding, and I don't have a likable personality. I'm getting older … but he is a well-known figure in the Bund, and there are many girls chasing after him! "
"Sister Xiuzhu, don't say that. You are quite good-looking! What's more, it doesn't matter if two people are in love with each other or not. It depends on the heart! "
Feng Xiuzhu lowered her head again and didn't speak.
Mi Xianger was not in a hurry either. She knew that some things had to depend on the parties involved themselves, and it was useless no matter what others said.
She only smiled slightly. "Sister Xiuzhu, I don't know why, but I have a hunch … maybe, things are not like what you think. Maybe, someone has been quietly liking you for many years!"
Her words seemed to have an effect … it opened a heavy door for Feng Xiuzhu and opened a whole new world.
Feng Xiuzhu only felt a warmth in her chest, and she was suddenly filled with energy … She lowered her head and recalled all the things that happened in the past. She couldn't help but purse her lips and smile secretly.
**
In the evening, Mo Dongyang came. He borrowed a small Jeep from somewhere and parked it outside the courtyard. He was so excited that he pressed the horn twice … then he quickly walked into the house. "Little Mi, let's go!"
Mi Xianger nodded. Just as she was about to take a step forward, Feng Xiuzhu pulled her back and asked hesitantly, "Where are you going?"
Mi Xianger wasn't a talkative person, so she naturally looked at Mo Dongyang. Her meaning was obvious: Tell me yourself!
Mo Dongyang muttered to himself, but he didn't lie. "Hmm? Let's go to Pujiang Village and find someone to play a few rounds with! "
Feng Xiuzhu took a deep breath, and her little face was flushed. It was probably the first time in her life that she looked at Mo Dongyang's face seriously. "Then … can I tag along?"
"What are you going to do? We are going to do something serious … "
Mo Dongyang was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed that Feng Xiuzhu was different. He immediately swallowed his words and put his hands in his pockets. After a slight hesitation, he nodded and agreed. "Alright then! Get in the car! "
He didn't say much. He started the engine, and the car went straight to Pujiang Village.
It was a bumpy journey. When they reached the village entrance, the sky was already dark. The Jeep didn't enter the village, but went down the dirt road. After a few turns, it became more and more secluded …
Not long after, they saw a flickering light in the darkness from afar.
Mi Xianger leaned her body forward and asked in a serious tone, "Brother Mo, there's something I'm still worried about … How's Wu Jiefang's character? If he loses, will he go back on his words? Will he go back on his words? "
Mo Dongyang waved his hand confidently. "Xiao Mi, if I don't even have this little bit of confidence, I don't need to be in this business anymore! The reason why I didn't use force on him was that … if we're working together for a long time, it's better if he's willing to do it! If he doesn't take the face I've given him, I'll just have one word … f * ck him! F * ck him! "
After he finished his sentence, the car stopped at the entrance.
Mi Xianger's eyes flashed …
She saw five to six muscular men standing in front of the dark door …
— — Aside from the topic — —
Everyone's love … seems to be beautiful.
I wish everyone happiness.
