It was very cold in the twelfth lunar month in the north. Xiaojing wrapped herself tightly like all the vendors on the market. She wore a thick cotton coat, a hat on her head, a scarf on her hat, only a pair of eyes exposed, and a layer of white frost on her eyelashes, and she couldn't see what she looked like.

Seeing the little girl being frozen like a snowman, Han Mingxiu felt a little bit of praise in her heart.

These days, there are not many girls who are willing to endure such hardships. Just being able to endure hardships for this girl is enough to prove that Da Chao has a good vision and has not misjudged the person.

This girl is indeed a good one.

Xiaojing seemed to be frozen so hard that her mind was a little slow. After Han Mingxiu asked about the price, she realized for a long time before she replied: "One piece...25 cents per pound..."

When she answered, her teeth seemed to be in a fight, and her nerves were probably frozen.

Han Mingxiu smiled and said kindly: "How many of these crabs do you have? I want to wrap the rounder."

When Xiaojing heard Han Mingxiu's desire to Bao Yuan'er, her eyes lit up and her spirit was refreshed. She spoke much smoother than before: "Really? There are more than 20 kilograms left. Comrade, do you really want Bao Yuan?"

Han Mingxiu nodded and said, "Really! I want it all, but there are so many crabs that I can't handle by myself. Can you help me send them home? We will take half of them one by one."

"Yes, where is your home? It's not far away? If it's not far away, I'll help you with it."

"Not far away, we can just take the bus back." Han Mingxiu reported the address.

Xiaojing said: "I know there is not far from this, I can just take it alone."

Han Mingxiu said: "It's better to take half of each person, otherwise you will be seen by someone (spreading chaos). It's time to say that I have exploited the working people. I can't afford this crime..."

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll finish weighing it. Let's take half of it each..."

The total basket of crabs is more than 26 kilograms. After weighing the weight, Xiaojing packed the more than 26 kilograms of crabs in two flower baskets. When calculating the money, Xiaojing, a crab with more than 26 kilograms, costs 32 yuan and 50 cents in total. Xiaojing also dispersed the 50 cents and charged only 32 yuan.

After paying, Han Mingxiu and Xiaojing carried a flower basket on their own. Xiaojing put the scale, a bundle of net bags and a small stool in the flower basket on her back, and walked out of the market with Han Mingxiu.

The two walked to the bus stop together, and they followed them sneakily and got on the bus with them. One was at the front of the car, one was at the rear of the car, one was in the light, and the other was in the dark...

Along the way, Han Mingxiu kept chatting with Xiaojing. Through communication, Han Mingxiu discovered that Xiaojing was a girl with decent conversation, clear thinking, elegant and delicate, neither humble nor arrogant.

Even for a big customer like Han Mingxiu, she did not show any favor and flattery. Her words and deeds were very appropriate, which made Han Mingxiu look at her with admiration.

When he arrived at Mr. Gao's house, Xiaojing took off the flower basket on his back. Han Mingxiu asked his aunt to pour out the two crabs from the Trichosanthes and make two cups of hot tea.

Xiaojing stood outside for a day and must have been frozen. Han Mingxiu wanted to invite her to have a cup of hot tea and ask her to warm her body.

While drinking tea, Xiao Jing took off the scarf wrapped around her head, took off her hat, and revealed her beautiful face.

This child is very elegant and elegant. Although he is not as beautiful as Han Mingxiu, he is also very beautiful.

Her facial features are not prominent anywhere, but when combined, it feels very comfortable and clean. It looks like a person is as light as a chrysanthemum.

The posture is graceful and elegant, as elegant as a chrysanthemum. When sitting down, the back is straight and the legs are together. When drinking tea, the taste is small and small, and it is not as good as the thirst and cold as it is.

This girl is elegant and calm in every move, revealing her good upbringing. She doesn't look like the daughter of a vegetable vendor's family at all, but like the daughter trained by a scholarly family in the past.

While looking at her, Han Mingxiu felt anxious about the chaos.

To be honest, such an excellent girl is really not worthy of her.

Although Da Chao was very happy, there was nothing to do with others. Compared with Xiaojing, the two were a distance of 100,800 miles.

However, people have the mentality of protecting their weaknesses, and even though they know that the chaos is not worthy of others, Han Mingxiu still hopes to give it a try.

No matter what, Daran is her younger brother, and he still hopes Daran can get the happiness he expects.

Furthermore, Da Ran was the one she grew up watching. Although this child is uncertain, his character is still certain. He is definitely a child with a positive outlook. If Xiaojing really got along with Da Ran, she would not be like-minded, and Da Ran would never cause her to suffer any grievances...

While drinking tea, Xiaojing accidentally caught a look at an English version of "Pride and Prejudice" on the coffee table, and smiled and said, "Did you read this book? What a coincidence, I like this book very much."

Han Mingxiu said: "People who like this book are generally romantic lesbians, dreaming of meeting their own Darcy like Elizabeth."

Xiaojing's face turned slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed, but she still said calmly: "Yes, which girl doesn't want to marry an excellent boy?"

Upon hearing this, Han Mingxiu silently lit a row of candles for chaos in her heart.

The gap between Dayun and Mr. Darcy is not only the gap in spiritual and material aspects, but also the gap in appearance and cultivation.

The two can be said to be very different, and the difference is very different. If the boy Xiao Jing likes is Mr. Darcy's style, it would be impossible to have a big mess in this life...

The two of them talked about some of their reading experiences together. Han Mingxiu found that Xiaojing reads a lot of books. When she talked about them, she looked like she was full of poetry and books.

In order to facilitate communication and contact and to create opportunities for chaos, Han Mingxiu took the initiative to propose that if Xiaojing likes to read any book, she can borrow it at any time.

I have a large study room in my home, which contains hundreds of books, all of which were bought by Han Mingxiu.

In fact, there were thousands of books in my study room in my home, but during that movement, they were burned by patriotic students.

After Mr. Gao came back from rehabilitation, because his eyes were not very good and he didn't like reading, the study room gradually became Han Mingxiu's special study room, and the books inside were also slowly purchased by Han Mingxiu.

Han Mingxiu took Xiaojing to the study room. When Xiaojing saw the books in Han Mingxiu's study room, she certainly liked them very much.

She loves reading books very much, but she doesn't have the money to buy them. Seeing that Han Mingxiu has so many books, she promised to read them casually, she is very grateful.

So, he picked up a book called "Count of Monte Cristo" and "Sister Carrie" on Han Mingxiu's bookshelf, and said goodbye with joy and went home.

After Xiaojing left, Gao Lao said worriedly: "Xiu'er, why did you buy so many crabs? When can you finish these old crabs?"

Han Mingxiu said: "Auntie, if you can't finish the meal, please give it to someone. From now on, you can visit your old friends and you will send crabs, and I'll give it out."

"Oh, what medicine are you selling in this gourd?" Gao Madam Gao was very puzzled.

Han Mingxiu smiled bitterly and said, "A good medicine to protect her shorts..."

...

Xiaojing came out of Mr. Gao's house and didn't go far when she suddenly met Wang Yingming, the crab dealer who gave them the crabs.

Seeing Wang Yingming, Xiaojing was stunned for a moment.

This person was the least ungrateful and hygienic person in the past. In just a few days, he seemed to have become a different person, dressed cleanly and dressed neatly, looking much more pleasing than before.

However, even though it seemed to be more pleasing to the eye than before, Xiao Jing was not happy to meet him.

Although this person is very lively and optimistic, cheerful and kind, he takes care of her and grandma a lot. In the past, Xiaojing was quite happy to deal with him, but later, she found that Wang Yingming actually fell in love with him, and she was very in love with him.

Xiaojing's ideal lover is a thousand miles apart from Wang Yingming, so of course he will not accept his feelings.

So, a few days ago, when Wang Yingming expressed his feelings to her, Xiaojing politely refused.

Since then, Xiaojing has tried her best to avoid contacting him alone, and every time she gets goods from him, she will ask her grandmother to pick them up, and then she will sell them, so that she can try to avoid meeting him.

I thought I could avoid embarrassment by trying not to meet, but I didn’t expect to meet here.

Because they are all acquaintances, if you don’t say hello, it will seem too inhumane.

Xiaojing pursed her lips and was about to say hello, but Da Ran had already spoken: "That... is really, really, coincidence, haha... are you sold out? Are you going to... go home?"

Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes..."

"That...it's dark, I...I'll send you back..."

While chatting with him, Dalun secretly pinched his thighs and scolded him for being unscrupulous in his heart: It's so useless. He stuttered when he saw Xiaojing. When people saw him like this cowardly, they would look down on him!

Xiaojing said: "No need, my home is not far away, just walk back by yourself."

Da Ran took a deep breath, and his emotions finally calmed down, and he said, "How can that be done? You are a little girl, and you are so beautiful. What if you meet a bad person?"

"It's really not necessary. If the neighbors saw a boy sending me back, they would gossip." Xiao Jing's tone was still very calm, but there was no smile on her face.

The chaos was rejected, but this was what he expected.

He grabbed his head and said awkwardly: "Then... then you can go by yourself..."

"Well, goodbye." Xiao Jing carried a flower basket on her back, and with a flower basket in her hand, she calmly walked over to Dalun.

Da Ran looked at the pretty back that was gradually fading away, and suddenly raised his hand and twitched it in his mouth.

This broken mouth is stuck at the critical moment, like eating chicken feathers. Why can’t we speak smoothly?

Alas, would she think she was really stuttering? She wouldn't look down on herself because of this?

Also, he was dressed so handsome today, why didn’t she look at him a few more times? Could it be that it was dark that I didn’t see clearly?

No, tomorrow at dawn, I have to sway in front of her more and let her see myself more. Maybe I won’t hate it if I see myself so handsome…

With a messy mood, he knocked on Mr. Gao's home in a mess.

At this moment, Han Mingxiu is recording a novel. Mr. Gao and Mrs. Gao are watching TV with a few children. Seeing that the chaos is coming, Mr. Gao asks his aunt to take him to the study to find Han Mingxiu.

"Sister, what should I do..." As soon as Da Luan saw Han Mingxiu, he looked like a child who was wronged to see his mother.

"I've been dressed up for an afternoon, but she didn't even look at me directly. Sister, do you think she's so annoying to me? Also, I think she's always hiding from me recently, are I so annoying to me?"

Han Mingxiu turned off the tape recorder, turned around and looked at the chaos, and said seriously: "It's really not very popular..."

"Sister, are you poisonous?" screamed.

Han Mingxiu laughed and said, "I'm kidding you, don't be so bitter and revengeful. Be cheerful and be careful to scare Xiaojing away."

Da Ran sat down on the chair opposite Han Mingxiu, leaned his head on the back of the chair, looked at the ceiling, and said undesperately: "I feel that I have scared her away. She really doesn't like me, alas..."

Han Mingxiu said: "She doesn't like you, don't she like other men? So, you still have hope, but your hope is very slim..."

"Sister..." The chaos and riots went away.

Han Mingxiu hurriedly comforted her and said, "Oh, OK, okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Now I'll tell you something serious."

Han Mingxiu became serious and said, "I asked Xiaojing to help me deliver crabs, and then took her home..."
