Chapter 9: Little Cousin
Wiping off the dust from the window, Lu Xi sat down again, the town without tourists was unusually peaceful and quiet in autumn, the sunset was infinitely shining on the river, and the breeze was sparkling.
The little sister didn't give Lu Xi much time to reminisce, and jumped over to sit beside him, complaining to him that the old mansion was convenient to go outside, and the dust in the house was too big, and it was not as comfortable as at home. Lu Xi wants to live here for the rest of his life, but thinking that in the next few years, there will be a large number of tourists here, and he feels a headache.
The little sister felt that the sunset was dazzling and stretched out her hand to block it, leaned her head on her brother's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sister Ming has already moved to Omi, what else are you looking at?" It's boring to sit here. She remembered that her brother used to make faces here when he was a kid and the little girl on the second floor across the river.
After being reminded by the little sister, Lu Xi remembered the name of the girl opposite - Tang Ming'er, the two families moved out of Lutang almost at the same time, and they haven't been in touch since then. Tang Ming'er looked like when she was young, Lu Xi still remembered clearly, but at this time, he couldn't think of what the little girl who was a little malnourished, three years older than the little sister, and was as tall as the little sister, looked like.
"Little three, little sister." Far away, Lu Xi heard someone shouting two people on the other side of the river in front of him.
The Lu family counted from his cousin and cousin, Lu Xi ranked third, and his parents never called him that, but his cousin and cousin and little cousin Chen Danying used to call him junior. The sunset came straight over, and the two of them walked under the rain of other people's houses with the sun on their backs, their faces were full of dark shadows, and the girl's voice was soft, Lu Xi couldn't see who was coming over, and waved his hand at the two.
"You haven't known me for two years?" The girl approached and stood on the bridge, looking up and smiling sweetly, the soft halo of the setting sun shining on her face, delicate and unprovoked.
Only then did Lu Xi see that it was his little cousin Chen Danying. After returning to China to work in her previous life, Chen Danying also worked in Yanjing, Lu Xi met her a few times, when Chen Danying had just gotten married, she was far more attractive as a first-time wife than when she was a girl, and her appearance and temperament could be compared with a woman in a long skirt who had a two-sided relationship.
Back at the age of eighteen, my mother mentioned her little cousin several times, and Lu Xi's impression was still what she looked like when she was a young woman, and when she saw her pure and beautiful little cousin, she couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.
The little sister giggled and asked, "Sister Baozi, who is he?" Brother-in-law? ”
Lu Xi also moved his gaze to the face of the boy next to Chen Danying, this person had a small white face, with a smile on his face, but looking at it made people feel uncomfortable, giving people a feeling of frivolity.
"Nonsense, my senior, Song Qiuyang, has never been to the water town, so come and play with me." Chen Danying pouted at her little sister, asked Lu Xi to wait for her, and called Song Qiuyang to walk to the front door from the stone path between the two houses.
Chen Danying went upstairs with Song Qiuyang, left Song Qiuyang behind, pinched the little sister's face affectionately, and asked Lu Xi again: "Why did you come back?" Dressed like this, he doesn't look like a high school student at all, old-fashioned. ”
People originally looked like a tender face, and then they didn't dress maturely, they always had to ask people questions when they went to do things, and they didn't even go upstairs when they got home, so they pulled their parents to Lutang, how could Lu Xi have time to change clothes, and said with a smile: "I'm not going to be the best man for Brother Bing, I heard that the bridesmaids are more beautiful than Xiaolongbao." ”
Chen Danying pouted at Lu Xi: "Why are you so annoying!" He didn't let him call Xiaolongbao anymore, and asked him why he came back.
Lu Xi looked back and smiled: "I think Xiaolongbao is gone, and if I don't come back, I will give it to others to eat." His eyes were on Song Qiuyang, who was looking around when he went upstairs.
The little sister answered: "Hehe, my brother doesn't want you, people have found a foreign girlfriend and send emails to people every day." ”
Song Qiuyang immediately came over, answered like a familiar acquaintance, and asked, "What does it taste like to be a foreign girl?" Your name is xiaolongbao? He found that he was staring at Chen Danying with the same expression as the New World.
"Compared to the water town, you are more interested in girls." Lu Xi's first impression of him was not good, and he didn't save face when he answered.
Song Qiuyang's white face was not red, Chen Danying glared at Lu Xi, blaming him for his stiff tone.
Lu Xi turned his head as if he was nothing, Chen Danying reached out to drag him again, and hummed: "Why are you boys so annoying, if you want to talk about it, there is still a minor here!" ”
"I'm an adult!" Xiaomei puffed up her chest and pouted, if there wasn't an outsider here, I'm afraid she would dare to compare with Xiaolongbao who has bigger breasts.
When girls are developing, Chen Danying's breasts are small like xiaolongbao, Lu Xi naughtily often calls her xiaolongbao, and Lu Yaoguang also naughtily calls her Sister Baozi, but I haven't seen her for two years, but she has quite momentum on her chest, and it seems to be a lot older than Xiaomei.
At this time, his mother asked her little sister downstairs to help, and Lu Xi pulled Chen Danying to sit beside him and threw Song Qiuyang aside. The cousins and brothers in the house talked endlessly, Song Qiuyang went downstairs boringly, and when others went out, Lu Xi smiled evilly: "This kid has evil in his eyes, Xiaolongbao should be careful." ”
"Little brat, do you know what evil spirit is? Don't call me xiaolongbao in the future. Chen Danying pouted and pinched Lu Xi's arm, "I'll go to my house for dinner later, my mother made your favorite sauerkraut yellow croaker soup." ”
Aunt cooks better than mother, Lucheng cuisine is authentic, Lu Xi was greedy when he was a child, and often went to his aunt's house to rub rice, which often made Chen Danying unhappy, and the two fought while eating.
Lu Xi licked his lips, thinking that he hadn't eaten the food cooked by his aunt for a long time, and glanced at her chest again, the white T-shirt inside the pink sweatshirt was bulging, and he smiled heartlessly: "It's really grown up!" ”
Chen Danying blinked, didn't understand what Lu Xi meant, and found his gaze, so she blushed and pulled up the zipper of her sweatshirt, pouted: "I'm not a child anymore, tell me about life abroad, I heard that it's very easy, you really found a foreign girlfriend?" ”
Lu Xi shook his head, he didn't feel relaxed, he didn't know how many classes a day he didn't read in a high school in China, anyway, he had to take seven classes a day in the redwood tree, and the most important thing was that the teachers in the Christian school were super rigid, and they couldn't sit in mixed genders.
Seeing Lu Xi reply, Chen Danying turned his head sideways to look at him, Lu Xi squinted, his long eyelashes jumped slightly in the sunset, and there was a smile on his thin and handsome face, giving people a sense of affinity that he liked from the bottom of his heart, Chen Danying squeezed him as he did when he was a child, put his hand on his arm, and asked, "Why did you go out for two years and feel a lot more mature?" ”
"How can people be immature, but Xiaolongbao is still like a child, don't bully those bad boys in the future." Lu Xi smiled again and took Chen Danying's white little hand, and said with a smile that he would show her palmistry.
"Who is bad for you, you bullied me when you were a child, you look at palmistry, why do you touch people's hands, little pervert." Chen Danying retracted her hand and pinched Lu Xi's arm again, like scratching her boots.
Lu Xi laughed twice, remembered the vague time of his childhood, and said, "It seems that I was quite bad when I was a child." ”
"Wilted, full of bad water, just as bad now." Chen Danying pinched Lu Xi's face again as she spoke.
Lu Xi leaned his head on the window frame and stretched out his hand to rub his face, and said with a smile: "I thought you would bite me when you were a child." ”
"Nasty." Chen Danying chirped, and when he saw Song Qiuyang walking to the bridge, he hurriedly took his hand away from Lu Xi's shoulder, and said with a blush that he would go for a walk with his senior.
Chen Danying seemed to care about Song Qiuyang's appearance very much, and Lu Xi glanced at Song Qiuyang who was standing at the head of the bridge, wanting to find out what else this little white face was worthy of being liked by girls except for that face. The two looked at each other, but Song Qiuyang didn't dare to look directly at Lu Xi's gaze and turned his back.
Lu Xi chuckled, this kid has a ghost in his heart.
It was getting late, the wind was blowing a little cold, and when I heard my mother calling me to help below, Lu Xi also left from the window, and I heard Song Qiuyang standing outside and scolding: "The pretending to be pure is pure!" ”
Lu Xi walked back to the window, Song Qiuyang was still standing on the bridge, and when he saw Lu Xi at the window, he turned his back again as if he was a thief.
***********************************
Song Qiuyang took the car back to Xingang before dinner, aiming at Chen Danying, who was sitting next to his little sister, Lu Xi thought to himself that Song Qiuyang should be afraid that he would talk nonsense during dinner, and he would not even leave dinner to eat before running away, he would follow the car in the afternoon and go back in the evening, which was really pitiful.
As soon as Lu Xi asked about this, Xu Youzhen said that the boy was good, and he was not ugly if he had good grades, and asked Chen Danying what his relationship was with that boy.
Chen Danying blushed when asked, only said that the two were friends, and secretly pouted at Lu Xi, his aunt and uncle-in-law did not answer, and Lu Xi did not ask his mother to ask nonsense, Xu Youzhen pointed the finger at him again, telling him to study hard.
Lu Xi pretended not to hear and ate with his head bored, and Xu Youzhen chatted with his aunt about trivial matters after a few words. Lu Xi didn't listen to their trivial matters, and listened carefully to his father and the deputy mayor's brother-in-law Chen Jiakang talking about the development of Lutang, feeling that the two didn't talk about the punctuality, so they continued.
The land pond water network is dense, the cultivated land area is small, the construction land is less, and the only way to change the backward appearance is to follow the example of Zhouzhuang and develop tourism with the help of the resources of the water town and the ancient town.
There are eight views in Zhouzhuang, and Lutang can also tap this kind of resource, and the thirty-six bridges in Lutang have an allusion to each one. Song Concubine Water Tomb has more good stories to say, the famous calligrapher and painter Wen Huiming of the Ming Dynasty also once wrote poems: who sees the underwater tomb of the golden jade, the empty fragrance and jade close the beauty. The king's love flows with the water, and he wins Hanxi and is still surnamed Chen.
There are many versions of Song Concubine being buried in Lutang since ancient times, some say that Song Xiaozong led the troops to fight against the Jin soldiers, and Song Concubine died of illness here, and it is also said that Song Concubine preferred Lutang landscapes, couldn't bear to leave, and was buried here after her death.
In addition to the Thirty-six Bridges, the Song Concubine Water Mound, Lutang also has the Lotus Pond Zen Temple, Nantang Ancient Well and other historic sites, almost all of which are related to the Song Concubine. Lutang is not inferior to Zhouzhuang, as long as the packaging and publicity are in place, you can see improvement. If you want to become bigger, you can follow the example of Songcheng Eternal Love and make your own stage play, even if you can't do the world's three famous shows like Songcheng Eternal Love, which Chinese people must see in their lives, you can also hide the water towns around Lucheng under Lutang.
Lu Xi talked eloquently, except for the little sister who secretly drank rice wine from her father's wine glass, everyone looked at him in a daze, until Lu Xi stopped laughing, and his uncle-in-law Chen Jiakang slapped the table and shouted: "This thing is feasible."
