Chapter 003 Going Home (Ask for a Pink Ticket, You Know)

The sky was bright, and Dong Xiaokui dragged her luggage home. Mom had already opened the door of the shop and saw Dong Xiaokui coming back, but she didn't show any excitement, just said: "I'm back, there are steamed buns in the steamer." ”

Dong Xiaokui said "um" and dragged her luggage home. I always feel that my mother is a lot stranger to me, and the little intimacy that I finally established last time I went home seems to have disappeared because of these quarrels.

She felt sad. Love may disappear, lovers may become strangers, but family affection should never be separated, and relatives should never be separated.

Loved ones are a lifelong thing. What to do, what to think, even if it is a quarrel, should not be such cold violence. Cold violence can sometimes be particularly hurtful. She sat at the table, not knowing the taste of her food.

Dong Xiaohuai was washing his face in the yard, he was already a tall boy, and his face was more and more like his father, but his temperament was far from his father, and he did not have the slightest calmness and elegance.

She looked at it for a moment, wanting to drop the half of the steamed bun in her hand, and suddenly remembered the phrase "work hard to add food", so she ate the half of the steamed bun again, and then dragged her luggage and prepared to go upstairs.

Dong Xiaohuai found that her sister was back, rushed over to help her carry her luggage, and ran upstairs on the ground. Q: "How did you cut your hair?" ”

"Isn't it pretty?" She scratched at her short hair.

"I didn't say it was not pretty. It's just not used to it for a while. For women, it's still long hair, so it's better. Dong Xiaohuai replied, probably because it was the first time he showed his aesthetics for women in front of his sister, he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Long hair is better-looking. But I'm going to look for a job in a few days. Although the pace of life and work in Jincheng is more soothing than in other large cities, it is still troublesome and a waste of time to take care of long hair. Dong Xiaokui's high-sounding excuse. In fact, only she knows why she wants to cut a short green silk.

Dong Xiaohuai obviously didn't believe it, put the luggage on the luggage rack, pouted and said, "Who believes you." I remember when you were a child, your mother was going to cut your hair, and you cried so sadly. ”

"Children love beauty, but they are not sensible. You don't understand that. But it's time for college. Dong Xiaokui sneered at each other, looked at his room, it was cleaned very clean, the air in the room was also very clear, it didn't look like the kind of breath that had been closed for a long time, and a pot of aloe vera in the window was growing well. The thin quilt still has the smell of daylight, the mirror of the dresser is exceptionally bright, the hairpin is worn by the hairpin, and the hairpin of the headstring is neatly stored.

She was a little stunned, looking at the clean mirror, and knew that her mother must have done this. Even if she is silent and very cold to her, she still cares about her daughter so much in her bones.

Seeing this scene, she was too concerned about her mother's indifference and was very ashamed. Dong Xiaohuai probably saw her surprise, and before going out, he said, "Mom opens the window every day to ventilate and clean your house." But I hope you come back, especially to know about your affairs in the capital. ”

"What am I doing in the capital?" Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but be taken aback and hurriedly asked.

Dong Xiaohuai stopped, glanced at her, and said, "You and Teacher Li are friends." When you go to the capital, your mother is always nervous. So I invited Mr. Li to my house for dinner, and asked Mr. Li if he knew anyone you went to meet in the capital. ”

"How did he answer?" Dong Xiaokui asked, in fact, he already knew Li Yongfeng's answer in his heart, but he just wanted to know some details, because some details are often the key.

Dong Xiaohuai originally wanted to go downstairs to wash the dishes, but when he heard Dong Xiaokui asking, he couldn't help but walk in again and said, "What else can you say?" Teacher Li said that the person was his hair. Growing up together, they are very stable, very good to their families, extremely responsible, very measured, and successful in their careers. ”

This series is all about the two. If so, it wouldn't be like that. Dong Xiaokui was very suspicious, glanced at Dong Xiaohuai, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. But I still couldn't help asking: "That's all?" ”

"That's all Mr. Li said. What else do you think is there? Dong Xiaohuai didn't seem to be happy with her suspicions.

"Really? If so, why didn't my mother be happy that I had met such a person, but urged me to come back again and again? Dong Xiaohuai, don't forget who your relatives are. Dong Xiaokui was also a little annoyed, she had never had a scheming, and her honest brother actually talked to her like this.

Probably feeling Dong Xiaokui's anger, Dong Xiaohuai stood in place for a while, slightly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, his voice was much quieter than just now, he said: "Mom is naturally very happy for you to meet such a person." So, I asked the other party's family history. Teacher Li said that the man was also from a family, and he was the most prosperous generation, and the head of his family frowned, and the army was shocked. Now it is also very strong, and there are people in important positions in both the military and the government. And that person is one of the heirs of this generation. ”

Sure enough, it's no wonder that my mother is like a great enemy. For her, although her daughter is also from a wealthy family, she is a declining family after all. Nowadays, the descendants of the Dong family not only have nothing to do, but even the old mansion of the Dong family, which is the symbol of the Dong family, cannot be kept, and what is even more sad is that many descendants of the Dong family have already thrown the temperament of the Dong family out of the clouds, and one or two of them are all like philistine villains. Even if Dong Xiaokui is cultivated by her father, she has a little bit of family temperament and demeanor, but in the end, she is a descendant of a declining family and a small town girl.

With her identity and knowledge, how can she match the dragon and phoenix among such people? can climb such a prosperous Xu family.

Even mothers, who have always been proud of their daughters, have to worry about their daughter's future. At this moment, Dong Xiaokui completely understood her mother's worry and anxiety, and also understood why her mother, who had always been restrained and quiet and never interfered in her life, called her so eagerly and asked her to come back in a tough tone.

Just because Xu Zhonglin is too glorious, his background is compared with her, one is above the gorgeous Nine Heavens, and the other is the wild grass and mountains. Such a gap is not optimistic about anyone. Xia Keke, her mother persuaded her, and even Mo Yan seemed to have persuaded her on the side.

"Teacher Li didn't say anything bad about that person. Sister, I don't understand, but when I heard the man's condition, I also felt that we were not on the same road. Although——, although you said that the man had helped you, the absurdity of helping me. Dong Xiaohuai's words became lower and lower, and finally Dong Xiaokui was almost inaudible.

She was shocked in her heart, and suddenly thought of the phone call with her mother, and finally said the words "go ask your baby son" calmly. Presumably it was my mother who asked Dong Xiaohuai about being in the capital.

"I'm sorry, it's me who is bad." She bowed her head, very unhappy.

"It's fine. My sister worked hard for me, and I also want my mother to know. Mom said: People who can't be together are not necessarily good people. But good people may not be suitable for living together. That person must also be a good person, and it can be seen that my sister also likes it very much. But that condition is really bigger than the gap between the male and female protagonists in idol dramas. Most of the male and female protagonists in idol dramas are just wealth. And this gap, I can't say well, I always feel that it's not money. My mother and I both hope that you don't work so hard and that you can be happy. Dong Xiaohuai put his hands in his pockets, leaning against the door, his voice was very quiet, and his tone was very calm.

The nineteen-year-old boy in turn persuaded her. It seems that the younger brother has really grown up. In this short period of summer, I have matured a lot, and I know how to analyze things in this way and care about my relatives. She felt that she was surrounded by the breath of family affection, gentle and gentle like the warm sun in winter.

Raise your eyebrows, smile, and look at your brother.

"What's wrong?" Dong Xiaohuai was uncomfortable with her, and was busy touching her face again.

"Xiaohuai has grown up, and she will have to protect her sister and mother in the future." Dong Xiaokui smiled, revealing his little tiger teeth.

This sentence made Dong Xiaohuai scratch his head a little shyly, and said a little embarrassedly: "That's for sure, as a man, you must have the calm and introverted nature of the mountain, and you must have a sense of responsibility." I used to be too impulsive and impatient, and I always let you worry about it. ”

"Hehe, Xiaohuai has indeed grown up." Dong Xiaokui felt a little more relaxed, although he didn't know how far Dong Xiaohuai could really take on things, but at least these words, he couldn't say them in the past, even if he had a similar consciousness, he didn't seem to have it. Especially those words that he said in the capital more than two years ago simply shocked Dong Xiaokui.

Although she has always understood that his environment is not good, she didn't expect Dong Xiaohuai to say such things to her and make such a mistake in the capital.

She didn't blame him, she just kept worrying. Admittedly, when my father passed away, he was too young. As she grew older, her mother didn't care much about her children, at least in education. As an older sister, although she can take care of it, she is a child herself, not to mention the difference between men and women, and there are many times when she can't understand her brother's thoughts.

And grandpa has always been dull, and the third grandfather is an outsider after all. The uncles and uncles in the family are all trying to survive, where will anyone care about Dong Xiaohuai, not to mention that because of some trivial interest disputes, the relationship between those uncles and uncles and their mother and son is not good.

Therefore, in Dong Xiaohuai's growth, there is no male role model who can be used as a role model. Later, Dong Xiaokui and Chen Jiachuan were together and went on dates many times, so they brought Dong Xiaohuai and let them have more contact. Because in Dong Xiaokui's view, Chen Jiachuan still has a calm and upward side. But Dong Xiaohuai and Chen Jiachuan did not develop in the direction expected by Dong Xiaokui. One is that Chen Jiachuan's temperament is too cold, and the other is that Dong Xiaohuai doesn't seem to be too impressed by Chen Jiachuan except for the polite sentence "Brother Jiachuan", and even after his mother said that he didn't like Chen Jiachuan, he was no longer willing to contact Chen Jiachuan.

Dong Xiaohuai's personality became more and more weird, and later went to junior high school, when he was in adolescence, his speech became more and more sharp, and he blamed many faults on others.

's mother is still immersed in her own world, except for providing three meals a day, she ignores Dong Xiaohuai, and is completely free-range to him. Dong Xiaokui was very worried, but she couldn't, so she had to comfort herself: Although Xiaohuai was irritable, he would never break the law and commit crimes.

To be honest, she has been worried about this brother, not only because he looks too much like his father, but because she really loves her mother and brother deeply. I want to do everything I can to protect them. Of course, from her heart, she hopes that one day, Dong Xiaohuai can grow into an elegant and responsible man.

Now it seems that Dong Xiaohuai has changed a lot this summer, not only because of the increase in age.

He was directly praised by his sister for the second time, smiled honestly, his face was a little red, and said, "Sister, you said this again." I'm nineteen years old, am I still the same as before? ”

"Hehe, I'll be able to relax in the future, happy." Dong Xiaokui sat down on the rattan recliner in the house and kicked off the sandals with thin straps, which was very comfortable.

When Dong Xiaohuai heard this, his tone suddenly became a little gloomy, and he said solemnly: "I'm sorry for making you suffer." Especially in the two years in the capital. I heard from Teacher Li that my sister has been working hard and has to be persecuted by bastards. ”

Dong Xiaokui smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Family, you don't have to say thank you, and you don't have to say sorry." As long as we can understand each other, protect each other, know our mistakes and correct them, and be able to empathize. ”

"Hmm." Dong Xiaohuai nodded solemnly, and then said a little uncomfortably: "I went out to help, sister, let's rest first." It's so hard to rush back. ”

"Okay." She replied, feeling very relaxed, perhaps because she had returned home, or perhaps because she had suddenly found that her brother, who had been worrying all along, had grown up.

She turned her face slightly, and looked out the window, and the warm sunlight fell on the ancient black tiles opposite, bringing a sense of time and space confusion.

Suddenly, Dong Xiaohuai turned back and said at the door: "Sister, you have always been someone I respect and admire." Mr. Li also said that you are the most elegant and intelligent person he has ever met. ”

"Huh?" She turned to look at Dong Xiaohuai, only to see that as soon as he finished speaking, he ran downstairs, and disappeared in a flash, only hearing the creaking sound of the stairs.

Dong Xiaokui chewed that sentence for a moment before he could figure out what he Dong Xiaohuai was referring to. His focus should be on the back, expressing Li Yongfeng's praise to her.

Li Yongfeng has always been a silent person, although sometimes he will show a poor mouth like Xu Er, Ye San, and Ouyang, but he will hide some emotional expressions deep in his heart.

It seems that Dong Xiaohuai's change is really related to Li Yongfeng. Now, he must be Dong Xiaohuai's idol. The kind of restraint and atmosphere on Dong Xiaohuai's body is indeed very similar to Li Yongfeng.

However, Li Yongfeng also has its extreme and paranoid parts. Dong Xiaokui frowned, and couldn't help but be a little worried. I feel that it is necessary to pay attention to this.

Thinking about it like this, the ease of being able to do so disappeared again. She got up from the recliner and slowly walked to the balcony, where she saw her mother asking the supermarket diagonally opposite to deliver the goods to the Dong family's house, and asked Dong Xiaohuai to follow and check the bookkeeping.

Dong Xiaohuai nodded, got into the supermarket's delivery van, and left together.

Mom stood in the shadows on the side of the street and wiped her sweat, but around the corner, there was a person, it was Li Yongfeng, who was wearing a beige T-shirt, who greeted her mother and said, "Auntie, are you ready?" ”

"Almost, in a moment, you can go. Mr. Li is going to go early today. Mom greeted with a smile.

"Hmm. Definitely. By the way, Auntie, is Aoi at home? I'm looking for something with her. Li Yongfeng stood at the corner of the street, replied very politely, and inadvertently looked up at Dong Xiaokui.

Dong Xiaokui was startled, so she hid in the corner, covered by vines hanging from the roof.

"She's upstairs, presumably tidying up her room. You go in by yourself and call her downstairs. I'm still picking out some of the ingredients that the chef wants. Mom replied.

As soon as Dong Xiaokui heard that Li Yongfeng was coming to her, she immediately came over from the balcony, not daring to run, for fear that the heel of the sandals would knock the floor too loudly. So he ran barefoot into the house and looked around, it was very tidy, and there seemed to be nothing to tidy up. If you want to tidy up, you need to tidy up the clothes in your suitcase, take out books and put them on small shelves.

She opened the box, and it wasn't a combination lock. Xu Er said that the so-called combination lock is actually the most insecure lock, which is not as good as the traditional lock with this special lock heart.

She unscrewed the tiny lock and hung the laundry in the closet. The wardrobe is a mother's dowry, it is the kind of old-fashioned double door, the black one is very tall, and the wood seems to be good, at least very heavy. There are several compartments, and the wardrobe door is a handle with copper rings.

In the compartment drawer in the middle of the wardrobe, there were some trinkets, some of which she comforted herself, some of which were given by others, and some of which were family heirlooms, such as the silver bracelet in her hand that had been kept in this compartment for a long time.

Now, she has cut her hair short, hairpins and the like, and she won't need them for a while, so she puts them all in this compartment. closed the door of the closet, and didn't hear Li Yongfeng calling her, let alone the footsteps of someone going upstairs.

She put the box away and wanted to take a look, when she suddenly saw the little carved wooden fox at the bottom of the box. She put the little fox on the dresser, and the little fox lay quietly and cutely. She found an angle to take a photo, using the little fox wood carving as the desktop of her phone. Then I went out and went to the balcony to see what Li Yongfeng was doing.

I just took a step, and I felt that it was inappropriate. The little wood carved fox is a precious thing and should not be placed like this. So, she took the carved wood fox into the closet with it. Only then did I walk to the platform, only to see Li Yongfeng standing in front of the flower garden, as if he was looking at the yellow cypress orchids full of trees very seriously.

The yellow cypress orchid was planted by Dong Xiaokui when she was two years old, and now it is very tall, and the flowers of the tree start in early May and do not end until the end of November, and the fragrance often wafts a few streets.

He looked at the flower in a daze for a moment, then held one up and looked at it carefully. After a while, I turned my head to look upstairs. The two looked at each other, and Dong Xiaokui smiled slightly.

He looked calm and said, "I'm afraid you're resting." So, didn't come up. ”

"I'm tidying up my room." She said, then said, "You wait, I'll change my clothes." ”

didn't wait for Li Yongfeng to speak, she ran to the room, changed into a T-shirt and shorts, put on flat sandals, put her mobile phone in her pocket, and kicked downstairs.

The autumn daylight is really grand, and it is also very hot, but fortunately, there is a wind through the hall at the entrance of Yongdao, and there are various flowers in the wind, which is very pleasant. Dong Xiaokui moved a chair and a small coffee table at Yongdaokou, took early spring tea, and made tea to drink.

The two did not speak, only the crisp sound of porcelain cups colliding. In fact, for her and Li Yongfeng, silence is the best. Li Yongfeng was originally silent and silent, and she really didn't know what to talk to him. Finding topics is tiring in the first place.

In fact, many times, Dong Xiaokui feels very strange, as if he needs an opponent to speak. Some people, when you talk to him, you don't need to deliberate every word, it's very casual, and they understand each other. But some people are exhausted without saying two sentences, which is very embarrassing.

And she and Li Yongfeng obviously belong to the latter situation. She brewed tea seriously, the process is not complicated, it is Jincheng's gaiwan tea, very simple brewing, but to master the amount of tea and water temperature, as well as the time of the first cup and the method of filtering. Li Yongfeng is playing with a yellow cypress orchid in his hand.

When she handed him the cup, he suddenly said: "I see that in the countryside of Jincheng, every household grows gardenias and yellow cypress orchids, and the people of Jincheng seem to like to wear such flowers, which is a kind of classical romance." ”

"And then?" Dong Xiaokui took a sip of tea and asked. She secretly wondered if this man had some strange ideas, and this serious contemplative look must be related to work.

"In the classical family house, ancient and elegant, I think this flower, this kind of romance is actually a big selling point. It can be used as a part of the development. I just didn't think of how to add it, and it perfectly combined with the whole design. Li Yongfeng replied.

He was really thinking about his work, and a small yellow cypress orchid could trigger his whimsical thoughts. This man is undoubtedly extremely intelligent. It is no wonder that Yihua Group can develop so many excellent scenic spots and make real estate that is regarded as a classic in China. Even as a decision-maker, he is also a creative genius.

"I saw your first issue of the advertisement, which was based on the family and ancient buildings. This is the general direction, and the flowers, I'm afraid, can only be embellished. Dong Xiaokui thought for a while and suggested this.

Li Yongfeng said "um", also took a sip of tea, and said: "But this is definitely a selling point, and it can't be let go." To be honest, the first time I came to Jincheng, I felt very unaccustomed to wearing fragrant flowers. However, when I stayed here, I liked this kind of romance very much, and it was very simple. I feel that even though the people here live a hard life, they still live in a poetic way. It's very stable and peaceful, which happens to be what people in the reinforced concrete jungle lack. ”

Dong Xiaokui listened, smiled, and didn't say anything. Li Yongfeng suddenly said, "Thank you." ”

Inexplicable words. Dong Xiaokui glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”

He leaned back on a bamboo-woven chair, and the wind in the corridor blew his hair, moving slightly. His eyes were dark, and he said, "I know, in fact, you know everything." You also encouraged me to do this project. ”

Dong Xiaokui understood that Li Yongfeng was referring to what she knew about Dong Xiaohuai's encounter in the capital and Sun Guanhua's incident. But this matter can't be broken, if it is broken, in the future, the two will be even more uncomfortable. Although Li Yongfeng is a disguised admission.

Therefore, Dong Xiaokui lowered her head slightly, chuckled, and then said, "I'm just a small town girl, you overestimate me." ”

Li Yongfeng ignored it, and then whispered: "Thank you, and treat me as a friend." ”

This sentence made Dong Xiaokui feel a little distressed and guilty. is distressed because Li Yongfeng is always lonely, he is abroad when he is young, he goes home at a young age, his family attaches importance to others, and he has no part in it, he grew up in silence, and the only sister who cares about him will leave him forever; The guilt is because, as a friend, she doesn't really care about him that much.

"It's not that I'm a friend to you, it's because you deserve to be a friend." She lowered her head and whispered. Yes, Li Yongfeng is a person who deserves to be a friend. It is true that he is paranoid, he has calculated her, and brought her nearly three years of misery. But even if he is paranoid, he is always sober and rational, and once he realizes his mistake, he can pull back from the precipice and make the greatest amends.

In this world, there are very few people who know that mistakes can be corrected, and who can admit mistakes and make up for mistakes. What's more, it is the son-in-law of this born magnate.

He chuckled, not knowing whether he was sarcastic about himself or didn't believe Dong Xiaokui.

"What are you laughing at? No one believes the truth these days. Dong Xiaokui glanced at him, this is what he said yesterday.

Li Yongfeng finally laughed and said, "You also hold grudges." ”

"It's hard to raise women and villains. What is the nature of a villain? It's a grudge. Women are actually reduced to the company of villains, how can they not be on par with others. Dong Xiaokui shook the bamboo chair, kicked her feet around, and said loudly.

Li Yongfeng's personality was really happy to laugh on the side, and when he stopped laughing, he suddenly said solemnly: "Really, thank you." ”

"Friends, you still say this." Dong Xiaokui glanced at him.

"Some are necessary." Li Yongfeng said seriously, and then asked, "Have you found an internship?" ”

"Nope. But don't meddle, I want to see what I'm really capable of. She said to him.

Li Yongfeng didn't speak, squinted slightly, and squinted at Dong Xiaokui. She coughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm desperate and I'm going to annoy you friends." ”

"Hmm." He nodded, then sighed exaggeratedly and said, "Actually, I want to poach you and hit me on my side." At least, the publicity of the first issue of the old house chapter can have your text in a large space. Plus your identity, well, heroine, movie star are all likely to drop. ”

"Phew. Who is rare of these. You also said that without my consent, you pushed me to the cusp. It's really treacherous, my poor's little identity and privacy or something, it's all for your benefit. Dong Xiaokui stood up, hummed and chirped, and held the teacup Gaibi between Li Yongfeng's neck to make a threatening gesture.

Li Yongfeng also has a humorous side, and said loudly: "Be reserved for ladies, descendants of the family." ”

"Only by an iron-blooded policy can we maintain a century-old reputation." Dong Xiaokui put down the teacup and said with a hum.

"Well, I didn't consult you beforehand, and this thing was really not authentic. However, this is also in your interest. What a good reputation you have, image endorsement. Besides, this house belongs to your family, although it now belongs to the country, it is the heritage of the Dong family. Li Yongfeng did it in one go. Dong Xiaokui finally believed that he was as young as Ye San and Xu Er, and he was as poor.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, anyway, this thing can be stopped in moderation. You know that as such an image, you have to keep a low profile. And you can't use this too much as a propaganda point. If you pay too much attention to it, the hazy feeling will be gone. The idea failed. I'm not a god, I'm just a village girl. Dong Xiaokui said solemnly.

Indeed, the advertising effect is excessive. Now, when it comes to her, on the one hand, she doesn't want to be pushed to the forefront, on the other hand, it is indeed the same reason.

"Don't worry, I'm measured. You just have to remember that I am your friend, the one who will never hurt you again. Li Yongfeng said very seriously, then put the flowers in his hand on the coffee table and stood up.

Dong Xiaokui listened to his words like a promise, and didn't say anything, just sat there, and the cool breeze made people leisurely and quiet.

(Well, more than 7,000 words, I'm very powerful.) Pink, fen, red, fen, red, hey. ）......
