Feast of Flowers - Chapter 21
Chapter 20 Village girl
Fanhua: Where are you, I’ll pick you up!
Hua Jin got up and turned off the switch in the store and locked the door. Seeing that Tan Yuan did not reply to the message, she directly dialed her mobile phone: “Tang Yuan, tell me the address.”
“Huahua…” Tan Yuan was holding her mobile phone and looking at her haggard in the vanity mirror, her voice choked a little, “I’m fine, don’t come here.”
“It’s okay.” Hua Jin said directly, “I have been friends with you for a few years. I don’t know what your personality is? Tell me the address, and I will pick you up right away.”
Hearing Huajin’s fierce tone, Tan Yuan’s originally floating nervous heart settled down. She took out the powder cake and pressed the tears on the corner of her eyes, and told Huajin the address.
“Yuanyuan?” A worried man sounded behind him, and Tan Yuan put the phone back in his bag and walked out of the bathroom.
The two of them sat back on the chairs, Tan Yuan lowered her head and did not speak. She gently stirred the coffee in the cup with a cold expression.
After a long time, the boyfriend sitting across from her spoke up.
“I’m sorry, Yuanyuan.” Her boyfriend was tired. “Our relationship for three or four years, I shouldn’t have said so much, I’m sorry.”
Tan Yuan looked up at him and said, “Cao Yi, what makes me sad is not how much you said, but because you have denied all my efforts over the years and my parents’ efforts, do you understand? ?”
“I didn’t mean that.” Cao Yi explained, “You know that I am for your own good, why do you want to misinterpret what I mean? The lacquerware you make is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also can’t make much money. Do you think Live like this for a lifetime?”
“But do you know that there are fewer and fewer people who can make lacquerware in China now. If others don’t do it, I won’t do it. Who else will do lacquerware in the future?” Tan Yuan squeezed the coffee spoon in his hand, “Cao Yi, this It’s my dad’s lifetime craft, I don’t want to lose it.”
“What about me?” Cao Yi was agitated, “We are going to get married in the future and have to live. And Aunt Tan Shugao is also getting older. If there is a headache, it will cost a lot of money. I respect you very much. Feelings, but feelings can’t be eaten as food, we have to survive, to cure diseases, and to spend money. Even if the craftsmanship of lacquerware is not cut off in the hands of our generation, what about the next generation and the next generation? Sooner or later, It will disappear into the torrent of history.”
Tan Yuan smiled bitterly, “If I, as a descendant of lacquer craftsmanship, are unwilling to do it, others will probably be even more reluctant to engage in this industry. Cao Yi, do you remember how we met back then? And my parents don’t have to worry about the issue of pensions. , My family is not poor enough for that.”
Cao Yi was stunned.
“When you saw the lacquerware I made in the school handicraft competition, it was very rare that I could sink my heart to study traditional handicrafts. At that time, you asked me to praise me and pursue my things, but now you persuade me to let go “Tan Yuan smiled so that her eyes were red, and her tears were still not falling. She closed her eyes and forced her tears back. “In the past four years, have you changed or I have changed?”
“I changed, but everyone will change. At that time, we were still students who were not in contact with society, and we didn’t have to consider money and status…” Cao Yi was a little uncomfortable with Tan Yuan’s gaze, and he turned his head, “You Unlike Huajin, you have parents and education, and you will have a bigger future. A village girl like her from the country has no education and no other way of development. Apart from holding Aunt Gao’s thigh, there is no Other better lifestyles. You stay with her every day, not getting better and better, you will only make yourself like her…”
“Shut up!” Tan Yuan sank his face, “Cao Yi, Hua Jin is my good friend!”
“It’s because you are friends with her that I want to wake you up!” Cao Yi saw that his girlfriend turned his face with him for an outsider, and was also annoyed. “You are a well-known college student who is mixed with her and a village girl. Want to lower your level?”
“I think… being with you really lowered my level.” Tan Yuan looked at Cao Yi in a daze. He didn’t expect that he would treat his good friend that way. When Cao Yi had a party with classmates last year, she didn’t know what to give to classmates. She and Huahua rushed to make more than 20 hand-embroidered card sets for him to take. At the beginning of the year his mother celebrated her birthday, Hua Jin embroidered a particularly beautiful shawl for her to take home with Cao Yi in order to give her a good impression in front of her future mother-in-law. When she was busy with Cao Yi, Hua Jin often helped them. Cao Yi said thank you to Huahua, but he thought of her that way?
“You are right, I really need to be awakened.” Tan Yuan smiled bitterly, “Cao Yi, let’s… break up.”
“Just because I said Huajin, are you going to break up with me?” Cao Yi looked at Tan Yuan in disbelief, “We have been in relationships for several years, but you broke up with me because of another woman, Tan Yuan, you are Not crazy?”
“I’m not crazy, I’m just awake.” Tan Yuan put down the coffee spoon, her expression gradually cooled, “I’m sorry, I can’t give you what you want, you can go.”
Amused by Tan Yuan’s words, Cao Yi pushed the coffee cup forward and made a clicking sound, which attracted the attention of the people at the neighboring table: “Tan Yuan, you are cruel, and I love you so much after years of feelings. But you say let it go, what about your heart?”
“If you are not ruthless enough, how can you look down on my parents who have been engaged in traditional crafts for a lifetime, and how can you mock my friends?” Tan Yuan asked, “Cao Yi, I like you, but I am more than Live for you alone. You want me to give up what you like, give up friends, give up everything for you, I can’t do it.”
“you……”
“Since you love me so much, why can’t you understand my profession and respect my friends?” Tan Yuan stood up and prepared to leave no matter how many people were watching beside him. “Don’t hurt me under the banner of loving me. Can’t afford such love.”
“You can’t go!” Cao Yi grabbed Tan Yuan’s wrist, “Tan Yuan, please tell me clearly!”
“What’s this for?” Huajin approached the coffee shop and saw Cao Yi’s expression tugging Tan Yuan’s wrist. The other guests in the shop were all secretly looking here, waiting to see the excitement.
She stepped forward two steps, pulled Cao Yi’s hand away, and stopped Tan Yuan behind her: “Cao Yi, what’s the matter go back and say, I’m noisy here, are you going to let others watch a joke?”
“I’m not allowing you as an outsider to interfere with Yuanyuan’s affairs.” Cao Yi sneered, “Aunt Gao accepts you as an apprentice, so you really consider yourself a sister Yuanyuan?”
“Yeah, I have a thick-skinned face, so I love to be nosy.” Hua Jin glanced at Cao Yi and made sure that he didn’t have a murder weapon on him, and he wouldn’t suddenly go crazy and hurt people, so he relaxed, “If you don’t accept it, then Hold back, you are a big man bullying my friend, and you don’t let me help. Really there is no one behind my glutinous rice balls?”
Cao Yi’s face was red. He didn’t expect Hua Jin to be so shameless. Seeing that Tan Yuan and Hua Jin’s hands had been held together, he was anxious and angry. He blurted out even more unpleasant words: “You are a village girl who can’t get married. , Is it a psychopath that doesn’t look good on others to destroy our feelings?”
“Get out!” Tan Yuan couldn’t bear it. He picked up the unfinished coffee on the table and splashed it on Cao Yi’s face. “Cao Yi, keep your mouth clean.”
After being splashed with coffee, Cao Yi calmed down a little bit. He wiped the coffee on his face and said a few good words: “Tan Yuan, are you really going to break up with me?”
Tan Yuan didn’t speak, she lowered her head and held Huajin’s hand, and whispered: “Huahua, don’t listen to his nonsense, who said you are a village girl…”
“Of course I won’t listen to him saying this. Regarding beauty, I am not an ordinary village girl. At least I want a village flower to describe my beauty.” Hua Jin didn’t know what happened between Tan Yuan and Cao Yi, and didn’t want to let the two Because he was too stiff, he joked and obscured the matter, “I don’t care about this kind of man with little aesthetic level.”
“Hua Jin, you don’t have to pretend to be magnanimous in front of me. If you like Tan Yuan so much, don’t you just want to learn Aunt Gao’s acupuncture skills?” Cao Yi sneered, “I know people from small places like you. It’s been a lot, not a few simple ones. Tan Yuan, you will protect her again, and one day she will sell her and count the money.”
He still remembers that once when he came to Tan Yuan’s shop, Hua Jin was hypocritical in order to earn dozens of dollars more. He obviously learned embroidery and this elegant thing, but did extremely vulgar things.
“I am willing.” Tan Yuan’s heart was completely cold, “Cao Yi, you go, there is nothing to say between us. The problem between me and you has nothing to do with others. In the final analysis, it is the two of us. The concept is not suitable. If the three views are not in harmony, even if you reluctantly go on, it will only torture each other. While you are still young, I will not delay you, I hope you find a partner that suits your wishes.”
“Don’t tell me, let me do it.” Cao Yi stared at Hua Jin bitterly, “Hua Jin, I’m half of the trouble with Tan Yuan to this point…”
“Is this a vegetable market, or a place to drink coffee?” When the crowd in the cafe was enjoying the excitement, several young men and women walked in.
The headed man wore a white shirt, his hair was neat and tidy, and a pair of slightly raised peach eyes was a bit arrogant. He walked on his long legs and walked towards Huajin and the others without any hurries. The diamond lavalier on his tie swayed slightly, as if the stars in the sky were twinkling, but his appearance was more than the diamond on the lapel. Be dazzling.
“Go on.” He raised his wrist and straightened his cuffs, with a mocking tone in his tone. Suddenly he kicked Cao Yi’s knee and Cao Yi fell.
“Who is the village girl scolding, eh?”
Kicked Cao Yi, he turned his head to look at Huajin, his face was full of disgust: “You are not very good at talking in front of me. When you encounter this kind of garbage, can you not be able to scold you if you can’t beat it?”
