8. Chapter VIII

In the afternoon, the aunt really asked the man in her family, who looked as kind as her, to drive a modified electric tricycle to send Tan Xixi and her second aunt to Carpenter Tan's house.

The loess drove for half an hour to Tanjia Village.

Tan Xixi lived in Tanjia Village before he was two years old, but now he definitely has no impression, this can be regarded as the first time to come, take a closer look, and find that this is a village similar to his grandmother's side, only the four-story small building at the head of the village and a large courtyard with an iron gate in front of the small building look much more magnificent than other houses.

That's Carpenter Tan's house.

Carpenter Tan did see someone teasing his little daughter when he was walking around the village a few days ago, and on a whim, he remembered that he also had a daughter, so he went to Du Yuegui's house to ask.

Du Yuegui was a yellow-faced woman when she married Tan Carpenter, and now she is so old again, naturally she only has a more yellow-faced woman, and Tan Carpenter now even looks down on the daughter-in-law who used to be a flower in the village, and often goes out to have fun, so naturally she will not have any interest in Du Yuegui's ex-wife. However, I wanted to see the daughter born to my ex-wife.

When he was young, he didn't pay much attention to his children, but he was influenced by traditional concepts, thinking that his daughter was a loser, and his son was important. In the past two years, when I got older and had money in my hand, I realized that it was best to have children and daughters under my knees. remembered that he actually had a daughter, and he could barely be regarded as having both children and daughters, so he went to Du's house on a whim to ask about his daughter's situation.

Tan Xixi's second aunt shrewdly seized the opportunity to talk to him about borrowing money, not for her own use, but for Du Yuegui's mother and daughter, who had been a little unable to turn around recently.

Tan Carpenter was not short of money, and he was not afraid that Tan Xixi's second uncle would repay the debt, so he lent it to them with a wave of his hand.

I didn't think much about it when I saw them come to repay the money, but I just thought that I just remembered to meet my daughter, and my daughter took the initiative to come, and this wish came true quite quickly.

Sitting in his own small building, which is not earthy and foreign, and has a mix of styles, Carpenter Tan looked at his daughter Tan Xixi who was sitting on the sofa opposite with great interest.

After looking at it, I feel very satisfied, this daughter grew up in a big city, although she is not very outstanding, she is generous and pleasing to the eye, sits upright, speaks politely, and looks strong and strong, looking very healthy. If you look closely, there are still some similarities with him in those eyebrows and eyes.

Tan Carpenter has been in business for so many years, his horizons are much broader than before, although Tan Xixi has not said a few words since he entered the door, but what he said is decent, his thinking is clear, and he has a natural attitude towards his father, who has never met, neither accusatory nor deliberately flattering, and he is very good at talking and behaving.

On the other hand, his two sons who don't like to read are not so generous in their words and deeds, and they were taught a little childish by their daughter-in-law.

Tan Xixi was very uncomfortable.

The person sitting opposite was tall and slightly fat, and it could be seen that he had a sturdy physique with five big and three thick when he was young.

Looking at the long arms and big hands, Tan Xixi felt sorry for her mother back then, how painful it would be if it was a slap! Her mother ran right back then, even if this person became rich later, she couldn't follow him anymore, and people couldn't ask for money and die.

Except for his strong physique, which caused Tan Xixi to have a bad association, Tan Carpenter was quite ordinary in other aspects, and his face was not as bad as he imagined, so he did not continue to cause Tan Xixi's discomfort.

This person is her blood father, but Tan Xixi looks at him without any feeling of looking at his relatives, and his father is no different from a stranger to her.

Now the stranger was trying to show favor to her, and in a while, the fruit, coffee, melon seeds and peanuts had already instructed the middle-aged woman with thin eyebrows and white faces beside him to run three or four times, and brought a few tea trays and things out to entertain guests.

The middle-aged woman has good facial features, and her waist is still thin, but there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and lips, and her skin is a little loose, but she obviously doesn't want to be old, so she puts a very thick layer of makeup on her face to cover these wrinkles.

Although no one introduced him, Tan Xixi felt that this person must be the woman who asked for money and didn't want to die - the daughter-in-law who married his father.

Because she didn't have any big ideas about her own father, she directly classified him as a stranger, so of course she didn't have any thoughts about this cheap stepmother. In addition to secretly expressing 120,000 admiration for this woman's courage to dare to take punches and kicks for money, she only made up her mind that after leaving this gate, she would not interfere with the river water, and no one knew anyone.

But people obviously don't think so, when the cheap stepmother is facing away from Tan Carpenter, she looks at Tan Xixi's eyes very sharp and unkind, and it is a veritable eye knife.

Tan Xixi went out alone, alone, and didn't want to cause more trouble, just hoping to get rid of the debt that came out of nowhere.

Although this is contrary to her original intention of going out to clean up all the people who dare to bully her mother Du Yuegui, Tan Xixi said that that is the goal set by the second personality talking to herself, and now that the second personality is not lurking, it is very good that she can handle things to this point!

So she stared at the second aunt and returned the money, and asked for a note that was obviously written in an unreasonable manner, and the content turned out to be that her second uncle borrowed money on behalf of her sister Du Yuegui, and finally it was an IOU signed by her second uncle and pressed her fingerprint, so she stood up and said that she still had to catch the train that night, and it was not too early to leave.

If Carpenter Tan hadn't made an appointment with an important guest to see the goods today, he would have left Tan Xixi for dinner. But after all, this daughter has not been raised for a day, and she has no feelings just by looking at it, and it is definitely not as important as business, so she didn't keep them after a slight hesitation, and just sent it out in person.

Hearing Tan Xixi say that she was going to the town to take a long-distance bus, and her second aunt and brother-in-law were not all the way, she beckoned a worker in the yard to send Tan Xixi to the town on a motorcycle.

As soon as the words fell, a black high-end off-road vehicle rarely seen in this area drove into the yard. Carpenter Tan didn't care about paying attention to others, and hurriedly greeted him.

Three people got out of the car. Two of the men were very young, dressed very well, and at first glance they were not ordinary people, and they stood in this country courtyard and looked very eye-catching. The third, even more striking, is an old foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes.

Carpenter Tan should be familiar with one of the young men, and after greeting him enthusiastically, he led the three of them directly in, and did not go to the small building, but bypassed the small building and went to the backyard.

Tan Xixi always thinks that blonde hair and blue eyes are used to describe foreign beauties, but he didn't expect to see a foreign old man who can be described by this word today, or in such a rural place, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, and waited for the backs of those people to disappear before retracting his gaze.

At this time, the motorcycle that came to see her off drove over, and there was a little boy riding on the car, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, looking very delicate, looking only sixteen or seventeen years old, nodding at Tan Xixi, "Let's go, send you to the town." ”

Tan Xixi knew that many families in the countryside were like this, and if the children in the family were not good at studying, they would leave school in their teens and come back to help farmers or work, so she didn't think much about her father hiring such a small worker, and said politely, "I'm sorry for you." ”

The sister-in-law felt that he had completed the task assigned by Tan Xixi's aunt, and instructed Tan Xixi to be careful on the road and take the second aunt, whose face had been as black as the bottom of a pot, back to the village.

Tan Xixi got on the motorcycle with his bag on his back.

The little boy's motorcycle drove quite well, steady and fast, Tan Xixi was quite satisfied at first, but after more than half an hour, he gradually felt that something was wrong.

According to the sister-in-law, Tanjia Village is closer to the town than their village, and it takes about half an hour for the sister-in-law to walk through the electric three-wheeler, and it must be faster to ride a motorcycle than the electric three-wheeler, which has not arrived in half an hour!

Not only is there no sign of going to the town, but the more and more secluded it is, and it takes a long time for a car to pass on the road, which is really unreasonable.

Tan Xixi called the little boy behind his back, "Are you going the wrong way?" It has been so long and it has not been to town. ”

The little boy pulled the car to the side of the road and said, "Get down!" ”

Tan Xixi got out of the car inexplicably, thinking that there was something wrong with his motorcycle, "What's wrong?" ”

The little boy looked faint just now, and then his face simply showed a trace of contempt, "It's not far away, there are still dozens of kilometers, let's go over by yourself!" Looking at her up and down, she was very disdainful, "Just like this, your mother must be uglier!" I sue you, my dad's money will be my brother and I in the future, you can come back with less cheekiness and get cheap, and next time you dare to be cheeky to my dad, it won't be as simple as throwing you out! ”

Tan Xixi's eyes widened, "You-" Only then did she realize that the thin eyebrows and fine eyes of the young man in front of her were exactly the same as her cheap stepmother, this person was one of her cheap younger brothers!

The cheap brother is probably still in the second stage of middle school, bad and horizontal, and he doesn't take things seriously, so he turned the head of the car with a cold snort, and walked away with a smoke, really leaving Tan Xixi halfway through.

Tan Xixi didn't care about being angry, she was suddenly a little anxious, at this time it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, almost five o'clock in the afternoon, she was a young girl, no matter how ugly and handsome she looked, it would be dangerous to stay alone on such a remote road.

I didn't dare to stay where I was and stop the car casually, so I walked slowly along the highway first, hoping to see a sign showing the location, and then called my aunt and asked her to find someone to pick him up.

After walking for a while, the sky began to darken, and Tan Xixi was still not sure where he was now, so he beat the drum in his heart, secretly wondering if it would work to call the police directly at this time.

Suddenly, I saw a car parked on the side of the road in front of me, and there were a few people standing next to it, it seemed that the car had broken down, and when I walked over, I saw that there was a blonde and blue-eyed foreign old man, who turned out to be the same people who came to see Carpenter Tan when she left.

Unexpectedly, these people were very fast, and they all rushed to her after seeing the goods and drove away.

Those people probably also thought that Tan Xixi, a girl in her twenties, was very strange to appear on the road without a village or a store at this time alone with a bag on her back, and looked at her suspiciously.

Tan Xixi finally met a few people who knew a little, and stepped forward to say hello, she was not very good at accosting people, and spent a long time trying to say nonsense to a few people, "The car broke down?" ”

One of the men in those two years had slender eyes and looked a bit like the male protagonist in the Korean drama that Tan Hee-hee chased before, and asked her, "You came from Tanjia Village?" I seem to have seen you at the gate of Lao Tan's house just now. ”

Tan Xixi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, my relatives at home came to him for some trouble, so I came with me." ”

The man frowned, "Then why are you here alone?" ”

Tan Xixi felt that he grabbed his relatives to repay the money, and then was misunderstood by his cheap stepmother and younger brother that he was here to curry favor with his father and rob property, so he secretly made the fact that he left her on the way is not good, and it is too complicated to say, so he found a simple reason that he thought would be the most trustworthy, "I quarreled with my boyfriend, but he was angry and left me halfway." ”

Although this reason is bloody, it still sounds reasonable to explain why she is here alone, the two young men disdainfully raised their eyebrows, and the blonde and blue-eyed foreign old man simply sighed directly, "Chinese men without grace!" ”

Tan Xixi, knowing that this foreigner could understand Chinese, she made up other reasons, which is good, and it has affected all innocent male compatriots.

Her appearance was too ordinary, and the two young men who were not ordinary at first glance were probably self-respecting and no longer cared about her.

Tan Xixi definitely couldn't go forward by himself, and estimated that they should have found someone to pick them up, or called a rescue vehicle, so he tried to find something to say, wait a minute, and look around a little embarrassed, and his eyes fell on the black car that broke down on the side of the road.

This is a high-end four-wheel drive off-road vehicle made by M China, with a high price and excellent performance.

The black color of this car is actually not good-looking, and it is not practical, but she still likes the most classic jungle camouflage.

Tan Xixi didn't know why he suddenly had such a thought, but he involuntarily stepped forward, "I'll see, what's wrong." ”

Another young man who hadn't spoken to Tan Xixi was stunned, "Do you know how to repair a car?" ”

"It's not very professional, but you can try." Tan Xixi heard himself say, "The engine power of this off-road vehicle is not very high, because it is not actually designed for road drag racing, but low-speed, high-torque and stable output, and the main performance advantage is in the low-speed area, which serves the off-road passability, so driving at high speed on the highway between cities for a long time sometimes has some small problems." ”

When she said this, the man immediately told her to try.

The results of the trial are also remarkable, Tan Xixi's movements are neat, it only takes ten minutes to get it done, wipe his hands, "Okay, you can go." ”

After helping to repair the car, and then taking a ride, Tan Xixi unceremoniously squeezed into the back seat of the off-road vehicle and sat side by side with the blonde and blue-eyed foreign old man.

The old foreign man got rid of the trouble of breaking down halfway, and was very happy, and did not hesitate to praise, "Chinese girl, very capable." ”

The young man who asked Tan Xixi to repair the car couldn't stand him anymore, and turned his face from the passenger seat to give an opinion, "Ou Ren, can you not cover a large area as soon as you speak!" Just now, Chinese men have no grace, but now Chinese women are very capable, and your scope is too wide, as soon as you open your mouth, it will be almost 700 million, and then you will open your mouth and it will be 700 million! ”

EugΓ¨ne replied very slyly, "Qiang, I am a foreigner, I am not good at Chinese, you have to be considerate of me." ”

Tan Xixi didn't expect these people to have a little humor, the country's population is almost 1.4 billion, but there are almost 700 million men and 700 million women, and they were all involved in the two sentences of the foreign old man. If it weren't for the fact that she was preoccupied now, she would definitely have to laugh at it.

Tan Xixi's series of actions just now were all subconscious behaviors, and when she reacted, she was already sitting in an off-road vehicle that could drive.

Tan Hee-hee has long had a clear understanding of the boldness and straightforwardness of his second personality. It was said on the Internet that the second personality often has a huge contrast with the first personality, so Tan Xixi can understand that the second personality is very different from her original personality.

But what is that stuff that just came to mind? When did she fiddle with an off-road vehicle and still do it? She wasn't impressed by that.

It was also said on the Internet that when the personality split disorder is more strict, different personalities will be relatively independent, and each can't remember what the other has done, Tan Xixi is very worried, she shouldn't be sick and strict!

The person who first talked to her, who looked a bit like the protagonist of a Korean drama, asked Tan Hee-hee sideways while driving, and his tone was much more polite than just now, "I can't see it, you also like to play with off-road vehicles?" Miss doesn't look like you're local, where are you from? ”

Tan Xixi laughed dryly, thinking that I didn't see it myself, and replied vaguely, "I came from City C to visit relatives, and I will go back immediately." ”

Owen laughed when he heard this, "What a coincidence, we are also going to City C soon to participate in the annual Mingyizhai auction there, and it is said that every year someone can find good things." ”

Tan Xixi was absent-minded, and told him casually, "The Mingyizhai auction in the past two years is not as good as before, there are few good things, and it is rare that two pieces will be fried to sky-high prices, if you really want to buy rare antiques, people in the industry actually go to Tongyunxuan." ”

"Oh my God, is it real?!" Eugène was suddenly a little excited, and exclaimed in French, his blue eyes shining brightly.

Tan Xixi is still thinking hard about when she learned to repair cars, "Of course, but if you want to be recommended by people in the industry, they won't accept them if you come to the door by yourself." ”

The first two looked back together, looking at her in great surprise, and the driving one turned back at a glance, and the one who was called strong by Ou Ren looked at her for a little longer.

EugΓ¨ne rejoiced, "Honey, you know French!" ”

Tan Xixi was stunned for a moment, "I won't-" Then she heard herself, she was speaking French.

Day –

Tan Xixi looked at Ou Ren expressionlessly, in fact, he was about to faint. She's just rubbing a car, as for making so many accidents to hit her! When did she still learn French! How much did this damn second personality do behind her back!
