159 Hey, you won't be able to get married
This time she went home early, she didn't tell her grandmother and Ling Dong, because she didn't want them to pick her up anymore, anyway, she already knew the road, and when she went home last time during the winter vacation, it was because she didn't know the road very well, and she was afraid that she would get lost, so she told her in advance and asked Dongzi to pick her up.
Now that she's fully able to find it on her own, don't bother them.
After getting off the train, Ling Xia reversed the train several times, and finally arrived at her hometown, standing at the entrance of the village, looking at everything familiar and unfamiliar, her heart suddenly felt a little emotional.
Walking out of here and coming back here again, it seems that I have changed a lot, but when I think about it, it seems that nothing has changed, and I have gone around and around so many times, and finally I am back in the same place.
The air here is very good, the sun is also very bright, the village in the middle of summer, everywhere is full of cicadas, heat waves hit wave after wave, the rich green trees are roasted by the hot sun, and the leaves are drooping one by one.
Seeing such a scene, Ling Xia couldn't help but think of the first time he came to this world, what he saw was such a scene, and in a blink of an eye, it had been a year since he was reborn here.
This year has passed so quickly, but when you think about it, there are a lot of things happening, and when you think about it, you feel like you're dreaming. It was as if as soon as you opened your eyes, you would wake up from this long dream, and then everything would wake up from the dream.
In fact, when she first came to this world, she often had such dreams, and all this dream turned out to be just a dream, and when she woke up from the dream, everything returned to its original state.
Whenever this happens. She would be terrified and go back to that nightmare. It was the biggest torture for her.
The sun overhead was great, scorching on the ground. Ling Xia's forehead was slightly dripping with sweat, she reached out and gently wiped it off, and then dragged her suitcase down the potholed country road.
When she arrived at the familiar door, Ling Xia stretched out her hand and pushed it open, it was now two o'clock in the afternoon, and when many people were taking a nap, she walked in lightly.
The dog at home barked a few times when he heard the movement, and when he realized that it was Ling Xia, he immediately stopped barking. Wagging his tail at her flatteringly, his dark eyes rolling and his mouth open and snorting as if to welcome her back.
Hearing the movement, Ling Dong in the house ran out, he hadn't seen him for half a year, he had grown a lot taller, and his eyebrows and eyes gradually grew. From here, it can be clearly seen that the future Ling Dong must be a young man who is obsessed with death.
After seeing Ling Xia, he couldn't help but jump up in surprise. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then said in disbelief, "Sister, why are you back?" ”
After speaking. He happily spread his feet and ran over and threw himself into Ling Xia's arms. Ling Xia stretched out his hand to hug him and said happily, "Dongzi." I haven't seen you for so long, and I've grown into a big guy! ”
Ling Dong looked up at Ling Xia, now that he had reached her ears, the boy grew up fast at this age, and it was estimated that it would not be long before he would completely surpass Ling Xia's.
Fuyuko took her things, and then said with a smile: "Sister, I just told my grandmother today when my sister will come back, I didn't expect you to come back, I'm so happy." ”
At this time, hearing the movement, the grandmother said inside, "Dongzi, who is coming?" ”
Ling Dong shouted loudly, "Grandma, it's my sister who is back!" ”
"Xia Xia?" Grandma's voice was a little excited, and then she quickly walked over, squinting her slightly presbyopic eyes and looking at Ling Xia, "You can be regarded as back, but I think about my wife and son, I haven't heard from you for so long, and I thought you had forgotten about this home." ”
Ling Xia walked over and stretched out her hand to hug her grandmother, to her surprise, grandma was very, very thin, and the bones on her body were a little awkward, as if she could hug her whole person with a gentle hug.
Although the grandmother in my impression is old, her body is very tough and strong, but I didn't expect that she had not seen her for half a year, and she quickly aged a lot.
When people reach this age, they will age very quickly, and the sturdy old man in memory is no longer what they used to be.
For a while, Ling Xia's heart had some bittersweet and sour taste, she didn't accompany them these days, and she really couldn't go away in her heart. Although she can't accompany them every day, because she is busy every day to get out, the days when she can get together happily and sweetly with her family have been reduced a lot.
During the winter vacation, she stayed at home for a few days and left, and now this summer vacation is even less terrible, thinking about it, she feels that she can't stand grandma and Dongzi.
Ling Xia's nose was slightly sour, she hugged her grandmother and said, "Grandma, why are you so thin?" I remember when I left, you still have some meat, take good care of yourself at home, don't be reluctant to eat and wear, I can make money, and it's enough for you to live a better life, you can spend more, don't lose yourself, okay? ”
Grandma smiled so that the wrinkles on her face were stretched, she said: "No, where have I lost weight, it is because you haven't seen me for too long, you will think that I am thin, you send more money every month than you can spend, you don't have to send so much money in the future, a month is enough for us to spend half a year, keep more money to spend yourself, dress yourself well, buy more delicious food, you look at you this is called thin." ”
"It's too hot outside, grandma, sister, let's talk about it inside." Ling Dong said, holding the luggage in one hand, he easily took such a large box of things to the house, it seems that he has really grown into a young man.
Ling Xia helped her grandmother to walk into the house: "Grandma, don't you know, girls are popular and slim now, if they are fat, they have to lose weight, isn't it just right for me to do this?" ”
Grandma looked at her again, there were already some tears in a pair of eyes that had been through vicissitudes, she said: "Child, don't work too hard outside, the family has enough money to spend, as long as you live well, everyone can get together peacefully, and be able to live happily is my greatest wish in this life." ”
Ling Xia sat on the kang with her grandmother. I have a lot of homely things with her, and I haven't seen her for so long. Grandma held back a lot of words in her stomach, and she couldn't close the conversation box anymore as soon as she opened it. Tell me about the things that have happened in the past six months one by one.
Unconsciously, it was getting late, grandma looked out the window, and patted her thigh in surprise: "Oh, it's so late, I'm really old and confused, and I didn't go to cook for you, I must be very tired after taking the train for so long, you come to the kang to rest first." I'll cook and call you when I'm ready. ”
Ling Xia hurriedly jumped down from the kang, pressed grandma back onto the kang, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you just rest here, I have a rare trip, I should go and cook for you, where can you go to the effort?" ”
Seeing that her grandmother seemed to be fighting with her, Ling Xia pressed her harder: "Grandma." You can just sit here and give you a taste of my craft, but some new dishes. ”
Seeing this, Ling Dong hurriedly ran to Ling Xia's side: "Sister, I'll go with you." I haven't been back for so long, I'm afraid you've forgotten how to make a fire. ”
Ling Xia reached out and rubbed his nose, and smiled a little embarrassedly. Ling Dong really knew her, and what she was most worried about was this stove. And fanning the wind on the side, she really won't. Where is it convenient to use gas and electricity, but almost all the people in this mountain use firewood for cooking, and even in winter, most of them use wood, and rarely use coal.
So Ling Xia said to Dongzi: "Okay, it's just that you little guy is here to help me, come, come, let's cook a meal for grandma today, you are used to letting grandma serve you, now you can also serve grandma." ”
Dongzi walked with her to the south room, and protested: "Sister, you will wronged me, I am very capable at home, if you don't believe it, ask grandma, what I said is true." ”
Ling Xia stretched out his hand and patted his head: "I know that you little guy is very capable, my sister was joking with you just now, do you want to learn to cook with me?" ”
Ling Dong's eyes widened, and his face was excited: "Okay, okay, I've always wanted to learn to cook, but my grandmother has never let me, she said that this is something that only girls should learn, and a boy has no interest in learning this, so he never wants to teach me." ”
Ling Xia couldn't help but laugh, it seems that grandma is still the outdated concept of the older generation, men don't cook and work hard outside, women are the ones who should cook at home and do laundry and watch the children.
But now the times are different, if any man can't cook, I'm afraid it will be a problem to even find a girlfriend in the future, because there are fewer and fewer girls who can cook now, and it will be good to find a considerate boyfriend who can cook in the future.
For example, He Jibei and Chen Zao, both of them are good cooks, thinking of the cooking skills of the two of them, Ling Xia's saliva couldn't help but be a little overflowing.
Speaking of which, these two people are really rare talents, not to mention good-looking, their families are still very wealthy, and they also cook good dishes, they are really good men in the new era.
Ling Xia looked at his younger brother Ling Dong, this child looks like now, when he grows up, he will not be worse than Chen Zao and He Jibei, and they should start cultivating from an early age.
Yes, cooking, should start with the doll.
This meal was finished in the process of Ling Xia teaching Ling Dong, in the end, Ling Dong was still a little dizzy, he couldn't tell which step he should do first, looking at his distressed little face, Ling Xia couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, you're still young now, just study slowly, it's still early." ”
Dongzi nodded, and said with a sad face: "I really didn't expect cooking to be such a troublesome thing, originally I just thought it would be good to pour the vegetables into the pot, but I didn't expect that there are so many doorways." ”
Ling Xia brought a plate of food into the house with him, and said to his grandmother who was watching TV, "Okay, grandma, come and eat quickly." ”
Grandma sniffled a little childishly: "It's so fragrant, the food made by the two of you smells good." ”
Ling Dong said a little impatiently, "Grandma, hurry up and come over and taste it and see how it tastes." ”
Grandma walked over, found a bench and sat down, then smiled and picked up a mouthful of food and put it in her mouth, and then nodded contentedly: "It's really good, it's still delicious for young people to cook, and my old wife will be laid off soon." ”
Halfway through eating, Grandma suddenly remembered something, and then leaned over a little mysteriously and asked, "By the way, Xia Xia." What about the beautiful young man who came to our house last time, how are you two doing? Has the matter been settled? ”
Ling Xia almost didn't choke on the steamed bun in his hand. She coughed lightly, then looked at her grandmother with some complaint and said, "Grandma, don't mess around with the mandarin duck score." I'm just a normal friend with him, not what you think. ”
"Yes," Grandma's face was obviously distrustful, she thought to herself, the little girl still wanted to lie to me, obviously shy and embarrassed to say, "You really don't have anything to do with it?" ”
Ling Xia nodded: "It's true, it's more real than real gold." ”
Grandma still didn't believe it: "Since it doesn't matter, why did he come to our house for the New Year?" ”
Ling Xia said helplessly and funny: "Grandma." Didn't I say it all before? It was an accident, he happened to come here to discuss a business, and then he happened to encounter a heavy snow block, he couldn't go home, so he had to live with us for the time being, it's as simple as that. ”
"Well," said Grandma's face with some frustration, "that's a pity, such a good fellow." Also, Xia Xia, you are going to be twenty this year, and all the girls in the village who are your age have already been married. Zhang Guihua at the head of the village is as old as you, and he has a baby this year, when will you be able to decide. It also gives me peace of mind. ”
Every time Ling Xia heard her grandmother talk to her about marriage, she was a little helpless. She is still three months away from turning twenty, and she is still very young. Every time my grandmother talked about it, she felt like an old girl who couldn't get married.
Seeing that her grandmother hated to marry, Ling Xia hesitated several times, thinking about whether to tell her grandmother about the matter with He Jibei, but seeing that her grandmother had been talking about the benefits of Chen Zao, she was embarrassed to say it.
Otherwise, the grandmother who likes Chen Zao so much may force her to ask why she didn't choose such a good Chen Zao, but chose someone she hadn't heard of.
Counting the days, you can stay at home for ten days, and then go to the company for training, Huang Qi told her that during the post-production of the TV series, they all talked about her, because she looks like she is just a very beautiful girl on weekdays, but when she is on the camera, she will look particularly amazing, as long as she is in the place, people will not be able to take their eyes off, because it is so eye-catching, it makes people feel comfortable looking up and down.
So they all predicted that if the TV series could become popular this time, the two stars who would become popular next would probably be Bai Qingya and Ling Xia, and these two rookie actors were particularly good.
Especially Bai Qingya, she simply played the role of that bad woman to life, and the whole role is very vivid and makes people feel very real.
Huang Qi also said that if her response in this drama is good, there will be better roles waiting for her in the future, and the sky will be broader in the future.
When she told her grandmother that she was going to leave in ten days, she was depressed for a long time, and said with some complaints: "Why did you just come and leave?" How nice it is to stay at home for a while, how tiring it is to run around outside every day. ”
Ling Xia carefully comforted her, you must know that older people are like children, they are a little temperamental, she said: "Grandma, I am going to train now, and then make TV to make money, and when I can make a lot of money in the future, I can go to the city to buy a big house, and then take you and Dongzi over, how about going to the city to enjoy happiness?" ”
Ling Xia, who has been accustomed to living in the city since she was a child, has always felt that life in the city is more comfortable, after all, everything is very convenient and effort-free, so she thought that if she had money in the future, she would get a few houses in the city, and then put her grandmother and Dongzi into it, and enroll her grandmother in some activity classes for the elderly, so that Dongzi could receive education in the city.
But she ignored that her grandmother, who had lived in the countryside since she was a child, would be very unaccustomed to life if she really went to the city, and Dongzi, who was full of local flavor, would inevitably be discriminated against when she went to the city.
Grandma sighed softly, and then said with a smile: "It's good that you have this heart, I'm a half-cut person in the ground, what kind of city do you go to, it's very comfortable in this countryside, Dongzi should go to the city to receive some education, I heard that the quality of teaching in the city is much better than ours in the countryside, and the children can't be delayed anyway." ”
Ling Dong said on the side: "Hey, sister, I don't want to go to the city, it's good in the countryside, the teachers in the town teach well, and I go to the city, I don't know the place well." I don't have any friends, how pitiful. ”
Ling Xia thought about it too. So he said, "It's okay, you're still young anyway." Let's go to school here, and when it's time for high school, we will transfer you to a bigger city, get a better education, get a good university, and then earn money to support your family. ”
Ling Dong nodded, his big dazzling eyes were even brighter, and he said, "Sister, don't worry, when I grow up." I must make good money to support my family, protect you and my grandmother from being bullied, and no longer let you live these hard days. ”
Ling Xia was a little moved in her heart, such a young child is so sensible, every time she sees Dongzi, her heart is a little indescribably moved, such a child is always thinking about others, and is sensible and capable, what a good child.
It's been a long time coming. Grandma suddenly reacted, she took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Ling Xia's hand and said, "Xia Xia, what did you say just now?" You're going to film? ”
Ling Xia nodded: "Yes." ”
Grandma then said with some excitement, "Come on, then." Are all these people telling the truth? A while ago, I heard people in the village say, you are on TV and a star. I thought they had the wrong person, and I didn't take it to heart. Because our TV is not wired, we can't watch those big stations. Didn't see you in person. ”
Ling Xia smiled: "Grandma, don't worry, I will work harder to film in the future, so that every TV station can see me, and you must see me when the time comes." ”
Grandma nodded, with mixed feelings in her heart, her granddaughter who raised such a big one was finally used, she didn't expect it to be so powerful, and she could be a star, she continued: "Work hard, grandma will cheer you on!" ”
Ling Xia held her grandmother's hand and agreed forcefully.
In these days at home, Ling Xia has not been idle, first helped grandma to disassemble and clean the bedding at home, and then used it to rebuild, and the clothes at home were also washed, seeing Ling Xia so capable, grandma couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but it's a pity that she can't see this granddaughter often, she really misses her.
Ling Xia also took Ling Dong to the city to buy some clothes, and also used stationery for study, reference books, etc., because grandma was too tired, so she didn't go with her, Ling Xia thought about buying some things for her, so she bought some and brought some necessities at home.
When he walked back, Ling Dong looked at the big bag in his hand, although he was very tired, he still raised his little face excitedly and said, "Sister, I bought a lot of things today, do you really make so much money?" ”
Although Ling Xia didn't make a lot of money now, it was more than enough to buy these things, and it was rare to go home once, so naturally they had to buy as much as they lacked, no matter how much they spent, they wouldn't feel distressed.
Watching her spend money lavishly, Ling Dong felt distressed, every time he had to spend a lot of money, he would reach out and pull the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "It's okay if you don't buy this, it's not very lacking." ”
It's really sensible.
Ling Xia also had a large bag in her hand, carrying so many things, she was so tired that she couldn't walk. She said to Dongzi: "It's okay, my sister is going to spend her money for you, otherwise what would you do with so much money?" ”
After walking forward for a while, he suddenly saw a big yellow M, Ling Dong couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while, and accidentally looked a little dazed.
Ling Xia turned around and called him, "Dongzi, what's wrong, why are you so fascinated by it?" ”
Fuyuko hurriedly ran two steps to follow, and said with a smile: "I didn't see anything, it's that-"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said, "That's McDonald's, right?" I've heard from classmates who came from the city to talk about how delicious the food inside is and how good the environment is, so I was just a little curious, and I couldn't help but look at it for a while. ”
Ling Xia looked at his longing gaze, although he showed extreme indifference on his face, but the small expectation in his eyes could not be hidden from Ling Xia, children of this age were particularly interested in these things.
So she lowered her head and said to him, "Dongzi, do you want to go in and eat something?" ”
Ling Dong hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I'm just curious, just take a look, I heard from my classmates that the things inside are precious and I can't afford to eat them." ”
Ling Xia smiled, and pulled his arm with a free hand: "Let's go, go and see, it's not too expensive, go in and take a look, it's rare to take you to the city once." ”
After Ling Xia's care, Ling Dong has changed from a rustic country boy to a beautiful and sunny little boy, he is already good-looking, and he will shine when he dresses up a little, in their tugging, a few little girls who passed by them couldn't help but turn around and look at Ling Dong a few more times. (To be continued.) )
