Chapter 45 (1)
On the way to Xiuhan's house, Hetu is already familiar with the road. She walked briskly, the whole person gradually became excited and happy, recalling the phone call in the morning, her heart was still pounding, she hadn't seen Xiuhan for a long time, I don't know if Xiuhan has gained weight, or has she become thinner again, whether her hair is long or short? There are also Uncle He and Aunt Huirui, I don't know if they have also changed a lot, they are so excited in their hearts, He Tu can't help but be even more excited, and almost trotted in the direction of Xiuhan's house, a face that I don't know if it was emotional or blown by the wind, and suddenly became red.
Because he knew that Hetu was coming, the door of Xiuhan's house was open, and as soon as Hetu crossed the threshold, Xiuhan jumped out of the back room and shouted excitedly: "Is it Hedi?" Is it a hop? ”
"It's me!" Hetu responded, and couldn't help but speed up his pace. At this time, she seems to have forgotten the things she had experienced before, as if she had returned to her youth, youthful and innocent.
Xiuhan screamed and ran over and put his arm around Hedi's shoulders. He Tu was out of breath by her, and struggled for a while, before Xiuhan let her go, only to see Xiuhan loosely tied her hair, wearing only a set of fluffy pajamas, and the tip of her nose was red from the cold, and said excitedly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why have you lost weight again?" ”
"You're skinny too!" He Tu smiled, I don't know why, as soon as she saw Xiu Han, even if Xiu Han was a few years older than her, He Tu couldn't help but become calm and quiet, as if her age was going to be older than Xiu Han in turn. Hearing Hedi's words, Xiuhan shook his braids dissatisfiedly and said, "Eat vegetables every day, don't get oily at all, it's strange that I can be fat." Luckily, no one was watching when I came home, and I was able to open my mouth and eat for a few days. With that, she took her hand and walked in happily.
As he walked, he looked at the courtyard, and saw that the decorations and decorations in the courtyard were the same as before, and there were no major changes, the only change was that the bamboos seemed to be more decadent than before, swaying in the cold wind, as if they could fall down at any time. Passing through the narrow passageway, he saw several houses nestled next to each other, and the chessboard on the stone table in the courtyard had been put away, and it was empty, covered only with a thin layer of dust. The doors of several rooms are wide open, and you can clearly see the furnishings in the room. The two of them held hands with each other and walked into the yard, Xiuhan let go of his voice and shouted: "Mom! Hetu is coming! ”
"Hey, got it!" Hui Rui's voice came from the direction of the kitchen, she wore an apron, showed her head at the kitchen door, and shouted, "Hedi, you and Xiuhan go to the house to sit first, and Auntie will prepare fruit for you." After saying that, she just wanted to retract her head, and then asked, "Have you had lunch?" Why don't you make some more for you? ”
"I've eaten it, I've eaten it." He Tu hurriedly arrived, if she was busy with the elder master because of her visit, she felt strange in her heart. Hearing what He Tu said, Hui Rui smiled and said, "Cheng, then you go into the house and sit down, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold." ”
"Got it." Xiuhan answered first, and pulled Hetu to run towards the house. He Tu stumbled because of her movements, and couldn't help but smile helplessly: "You slow down, why are you so adult, and you're still like a child." ”
"That means I'm young." Xiuhan said with a hippie smile, smiling more and more happily. Hetu was infected by her emotions, and temporarily put aside those troubles, and laughed with her.
The two of them sat down on the sofa in the living room, and before they could say a word, Hui Rui came in from outside with a fruit bowl, and her tone trembled, and she said, "Ouch, it's so cold outside." ”
"yes, Mom." Xiuhan glanced back at her mother, "Mom, don't be busy, go back to the house and rest, let's talk to the two sisters." ”
"Okay, okay, I know you dislike mom now." Hui Rui put down the fruit plate and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Why!" Xiuhan hurriedly jumped up from the sofa, grabbed his mother's arm, and leaned his head on his mother's shoulder affectionately, "Mom is the most loved person in my life." ”
"Ouch, that's it." Hui Ruixiao's eyes narrowed, she pushed Xiuhan's shoulders away, and said with a smile, "If your father hears this, he should be jealous again." ”
He Di looked at the mother and daughter laughing happily, and couldn't help laughing, hearing Hui Rui's words, she looked left and right, only to find that Uncle He was not in the house, and couldn't help asking, "Where did Uncle go?" ”
"In the past two days, the factory has been busy, and I went to the front line to supervise the war." Hui Rui winked at her, pointed to the fruit bowl and smiled, "You eat quickly, call Auntie when you are done, and Auntie will cut the fruit for you again." ”
He Tu quickly stood up and said embarrassedly: "That's embarrassing, thank you Auntie." ”
"You're welcome, sit down, sit down!" Hui Rui said, and turned to walk outside. As the curtain fell, the room fell silent again. Xiuhan tilted his head and looked at himself with a smile, making an expression that wanted to tease himself.
The two looked at each other silently for a while, and Hetu suddenly reached out and put his cold hand in Xiuhan's warm neck. Xiuhan screamed and giggled, struggling to shove his hand into Hedi's neck. The two of them were like children on the sofa, laughing endlessly, and the strange embarrassment caused by not seeing each other for a long time suddenly dissipated, and they seemed to have returned to the time when they were talking about everything before.
Enough laughter, enough trouble, the two sat up straight. Xiuhan gasped, stuffed a mouthful of orange into his mouth, and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, your strength has increased, I can't beat you anymore." ”
"If you don't touch the spring water with your ten fingers, how can you have the strength to work every day." He straightened his hair and stuffed a mouthful of oranges into his mouth.
"Hmm." Xiuhan suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, and put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully. He Tu looked at her inexplicably and was stunned. After a while, Xiu Hancai muttered: "Look at your hands, they look like a girl's hands." ”
Hearing Xiuhan's words, He Tu couldn't help but look down at his hands. I saw that although the hands were pale, they were full of wrinkles, ten fingers could barely be stretched straight, the nails were full of barbs, and there were frostbite in several places, and they really did not look like the hands of a girl in her twenties. It's just that in the past few years, Hetu has become accustomed to these hands, and the people around him are also living like this, whose hands can be maintained very delicately. It's just that Xiuhan said it so regretfully, she couldn't help but pay attention, her eyes wandered over Xiuhan's warm, ten-fingered slender fingers like jade onions, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"Ahem." He Tu withdrew his hand, lowered his head and stroked it, pretending to be disappreciative and said, "I'm used to it......"
Xiuhan stood up, bent down and rummaged through the cabinet on the side, and said, "Everyone says that hands are a girl's second face, how can you not take good care of it." She pulled out a hand cream from the cupboard, squeezed it into her palm, and wrapped it around Hedi's hand and applied it. He Tu sniffed, a fragrant breath came to her face, which made people feel happy, and after her own hand applied that thing, it seemed to be not as rough as before, she looked at it curiously, and smiled: "Oops, it's really useful." ”
"You can use it." Xiuhan shoved the hand cream into her arms and looked at her seriously, "Look at you, what have you tossed yourself into, I won't talk about my hands, this face has become like I'm sick, and my hair is messy." She frowned and asked, "Wouldn't your mother-in-law bully you?" Are you unhappy in that house? ”
"No, no." He Tu hurriedly shook her head in denial, she lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine." Then he stuffed the hand cream into Xiuhan's arms and said, "I have this thing at home, but I have too much work, where do I have time to apply it all the time, and wash it off when I apply it, it's not a waste." She tried desperately to disguise a cheerful tone, trying to protect her fragile pride.
Xiu Han looked at her steadily, and her delicate eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter. I don't know where I am thinking, but I know her little fragility clearly. So many years have passed, and she is still pretending to be strong in front of herself, obviously she has many opportunities to help her, but it is because of her strong strong heart that she has repeatedly been unable to help. Xiuhan felt lost, thinking about it like this, he treated Hetu wholeheartedly, but Hetu didn't think he was a real sister. She lowered her head, and the atmosphere was very sluggish for a while, before she asked, "Hedi, do you think I'm pitying you?" ”
He was puzzled by her sudden silence, and when she heard her ask, she couldn't help but be stunned, shook her head, and said, "No." ”
Xiuhan looked up at her and said, "In this life, except for my parents, I will treat you like this." The offers I made to you, and the actions I wanted to help you, came from the heart, because I didn't want to see you working so hard. Her words came to an abrupt end, and she looked at Hetu seriously, trying to see what Hetu was thinking now.
"I know." He Tu whispered. She didn't understand, but in front of this now very glamorous and famous friend, she was not to be outdone, she didn't want to show that she was in a bad place, she wanted to stand on an equal footing with Xiuhan, just be friends, don't involve any material help, just pay attention to spiritual equality, which is already very satisfying for her.
Xiuhan doesn't think so, to be honest, she has also paid a lot for herself now, and the hard work behind it can be imagined, although she earns a lot of money, she feels very lacking mentally. Every day, I have to disguise myself in various ways, force my face to laugh in front of all kinds of people I obviously don't like, toast to socialize, sometimes I can't guarantee even the most basic sleep, I am tired of running to various cities, and I am ready to deal with all kinds of scenes. In such an experience, sincerity and trust are as precious and rare to her as the moon in the sky, and the scenes she encounters, the way everyone shows in that scene is just what he wants you to see, and the real self is carefully hidden behind her back, refusing to show it. If she also has a lot of friends, this is not a lie, at the beginning she treated them sincerely and responded to their requests, but after the fact, she was beaten into the cold palace, and since then she has rarely been contacted, and some people even slandered her and smeared her in turn. Gradually, she also began to feel how difficult it was to make real friends in this circle, everyone is a human spirit, and they all want to climb up, and approaching a person is not simply just trying to be friends with that person. After experiencing all kinds of emotional blows, Xiuhan once thought about contacting those friends in high school, but because of the change in her identity and status, their attitude towards her has also changed a lot, which is very different from before. Only Hetu has always treated her like a friend, and will not change anything because she is a well-known singer and a glamorous star. Xiuhan cherishes this friendship very much, and the consequence of cherishing it too much is that she has to find ways to maintain this friendship and keep it in its current state until she grows old and dies. So in the face of Hetu, Xiuhan, whose life is already very good, can clearly feel her hardship and hard work, money is meaningless to her, even if she has been supporting Hetu to live, she has no regrets and is willing. It's just that for the expression of her own emotions, Hedi always refuses openly and secretly, she resists Xiuhan's help to herself, and gradually, even her own life situation rarely says to Xiuhan, as long as there is a grievance in her heart before, her first thought is to confide in Xiuhan, but now it's not, Hetu would rather bury it in her heart and let it rot, than say it to her, and then listen to the kind of words she wants to help herself, which makes her feel more uncomfortable than living in poverty. Later, the communication between the two people was only the polite greeting of the cold and warmth, like a layer of oil flowers floating on the water, floating around, and the center of gravity was uncertain.
"But I'm really not having a hard time." He Tu looked up and said firmly, "Really. ”
"Do you believe that?" Xiuhan raised his hand and touched her messy sideburns, "You are at least two times thinner than before." ”
"Why don't you say I have a baby." In order to alleviate the current atmosphere, He Tu grinned, "When you give birth to a child, you will lose weight, really." ”
"Let's talk nonsense, although I haven't given birth to a child, I also know that you are all coaxing me." Xiuhan stood up, took Hedi's arm, and said, "Let's go, I'll help you pack up." ”
"What to clean up, don't clean up ......" He Di refused, but he couldn't resist Xiuhan's pull, and followed her towards Xiuhan's bedroom.
"You go take a shower first." Xiuhan let go of his hand, "I'll go release the water, and when you come out, I'll clean it up for you." ”
"Forget it...... said timidly, and couldn't help but tighten his collar, "It's troublesome, let's sit and talk and talk." ”
"Do you listen to me, it's not easy to meet once." Xiuhan pouted dissatisfiedly, pulled her arm and shook it around, "Hurry up." ”
He couldn't resist her, thinking that he didn't know when the next time they met, so it was better to rely on her now. Thinking so, Hetu hesitated to unbutton the collar of the old thick cotton jacket, took off half of it, stopped his movements, and shouted into the bathroom: "Xiuhan, or forget it, I'll tell my sister to come out for a long time, and I'll go back quickly after a while." ”
"No way!" Xiuhan's voice seemed empty and unreal, "Just give me all your time for half a day, otherwise I will be unhappy." ”
