Chapter 26 (2)
is different from the one that was played and sung to Hetu, this time the song was performed by Xiuhan in a tragic and long way. Listening attentively, she gradually recalled that night, that night full of passion and rhythm, Xiuhan played the guitar and sang to her, and she danced in the candlelight. At that time, Xiuhan sang the love of life and the endless courage to dare to fight against fate, but at this moment, what Xiuhan sang was nostalgia for the past and longing for the future. "It's good, it's good." He Tu secretly thought in her heart, she couldn't help but close her eyes, savoring this beautiful piece of music seriously, and her heart itched, as if something had been born from the bottom of her heart. The song came to an end, but the cute little thing slowly broke away from her mind and her spirit, and ran away into the distance. He instinctively reached out to grab it, but it ran so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye. At that moment, Hedi's heart suddenly became empty, and it seemed that he had suddenly changed from a green field to a desolate and miserable hellish desert. She was so amazed at the change in her heart that she almost burst into tears.
"Sister! Sister Xiuhan's singing is so good! Heyi's voice came to her ears, "Grandma! Doesn't it sound good! This is Sister Xiuhan, and I've been to her house! She's all right! β
He Tu woke up violently, she opened her eyes to look at He Yi and her grandmother, and then looked at Xiu Han on the TV screen who was thanking the audience. At this time, she became so distant and strange, as if it was the first time I saw her today. He Tu stroked his chest and comforted himself in his heart: "You are thinking nonsense again, you are obviously good, but you always think about such messy things." Don't want to, don't want to, don't think about it anymore. β
She turned her attention back to the television, where several judges were talking about their opinions and the audience was nervously voting. The big screen behind the host and the contestants showed the names of several people, showing the number of votes. They all looked nervously at the big screen, for fear that their votes would drop. Only Xiuhan had a calm face, and when the camera turned, she made a grimace at the screen. But Hedi knew she was nervous, and her eyes revealed that the calmness of her face was just a disguise of her efforts. He Tu tensed his face, looking at the big screen nervously, and kept praying in his heart that Xiuhan's votes would go up, and then go up.
Suddenly, there was a low, nervous drum beat, and the numbers on the big screen stopped. He Tu looked at the screen in surprise, Xiuhan had the most votes!
"Sister! Did Sister Xiuhan win? He Yi asked seriously.
"Won't you?" He replied absentmindedly, still watching intently. At this time, the host asked the judges to comment and vote, and after a series of tricky shots, three of the five people voted for Xiuhan, and the field suddenly boiled, and a few strands of hazy dry ice were violently sprayed on the edge of the stage, and golden colored paper floated down overhead. A slender woman wearing a cheongsam walked up to the stage with a tray on the plate, and a crystal-like trophy was placed in it, Xiuhan looked at the audience in surprise, almost couldn't believe it, but she quickly reacted, took the trophy and the microphone handed over by the host, and began to make a championship speech.
He Tu held her face and listened carefully, looking at Xiuhan's eyes that were shining with tears, she was sincerely happy for her. Heyi clapped her hands excitedly, although Zhou's mother didn't understand, she also laughed with Heyi. After the testimonial, it was the host's closing remarks, and the boring advertisement hit again, and Xiuhan's vivid and beautiful face quickly disappeared from the screen.
He Tu got up from the stool excitedly and said to Heyi, "Do you want to go back?" I'm going back. β
He Yi shook his head and said, "Sister, you go back first, I want to stay a little longer." β
He Tu hummed, said goodbye to Zhou's mother, and opened the curtain and went out. She almost trotted towards the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as she stepped out of the door with one foot, the second uncle came in, and she almost bumped into the second uncle, so she hurriedly stopped.
"Second uncle." He Tu lowered her head to say hello, she didn't dare to look up at him. The second uncle's gaze always made her feel as if she was being seen transparently and thoroughly.
"When did you come?" The so-called second uncle was just a big fat man with a kind face, he was short, his belly was high and protruding, and he was wearing a white shirt and suit pants, which tightened his fat figure more and more, as if his clothes would tear if he was not careful. He looked at Hetu with a smile, but his eyes wandered around Hedi's face and the yard behind Hedi, and he quickly considered in his mind what was the reason why Hetu came home, was Jiafu had no money to pay his mother's alimony every month? Are you still going to borrow money? He frowned slightly, looked at his niece cautiously, and was ready to refuse if the other party opened his mouth to borrow money from him.
"I'm here to see grandma." Hetu still had his head down.
The second uncle breathed a sigh of relief, his smile became relaxed, and asked, "Finished reading?" β
"Hmm."
"Let's go back as soon as I'm done." As he spoke, he walked towards the front, took two steps and suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Your father hasn't given me the money this month." Your grandma has been in poor health lately, and the weather is cold, so you have to buy two thick coats and buy some nutritional products, you go back and tell your dad to send the money as soon as possible, otherwise how will your grandma spend this winter? β
He answered, glanced back at him quickly, and ran down the slope with her feet outstretched, and she ran until she reached the gate of her yard before she stopped breathlessly.
"Hmph." She breathed a sigh of relief and snorted coldly, "I'm so rich, I buy everything from watches, cars, and clothes, and I don't even have the money to buy clothes and nutrition for my grandmother?" Do you have to be my dad? She walked into the yard with a snort, and saw Jiafu doing carpentry in the yard, so she said, "Dad, the second uncle asked you to send the money quickly." β
"Money?" Jiafu raised his head in surprise, "Didn't you give it to him yesterday?" β
"Huh?" This time, it was Hedi's turn to widen her eyes, and she said in surprise, "He just told me that the money hasn't been sent to him this month." β
"Nonsense." Jiafu lowered his head and continued to saw, "He just wants to be greedy." I see, go back to the house. β
She replied and turned to run to the kitchen, where she pulled out the little Walkman from the cabinet and ran into the backyard with it in her arms. The backyard was quiet, except for the sheep in the sheepfold squeaking and chewing grass. She sat down on the steps, pressed the button, and as soon as the familiar melody came out, her heart seemed to melt, and her memory instantly returned to years ago.
But immediately, her heart became dazed and empty, and the scattered youth of those years slowly dispersed in front of her eyes like smoke, she was no longer a child, nor was she a shy and enthusiastic little girl when facing Zhu Hai, she had now become an adult, an adult who was engaged and about to get married. A different feeling rose in her heart, as if she had been reborn in an instant, but this rebirth did not make her better, but made her lose something at a loss, and she couldn't see everything around her even more clearly.
The song was repeated over and over again, and even the sheep grazing not far away raised their heads to look at her. Hedi fell into a deep daze, she seemed to be thinking, and she seemed to be just in a daze. The clouds in the sky moved slowly, obscuring the high sunlight for a while, and then they were blown away by the wind and gradually drifted to the horizon. A cold wind blew, and Hetu shivered, and suddenly woke up from meditation, only to find that the Walkman had long since run out of power, and the songs had long since stopped, but she was immersed in that inexplicable mood, for a long, long time......
He Tu gradually gained weight, maybe once people fall into comfort, their mentality will become lazy, and they only know how to enjoy. As the day of marriage gets closer and closer, Cuiying treats her more and more, almost to the point of not even letting her pour water. He felt embarrassed at first, but after a long time, he got used to it. The cold winter has passed, and spring is gradually coming to people. Although the temperature is warmer, it is still cold, and the blue sky is especially beautiful in spring, as if it is painted with dye. On days when he has nothing to do, he often sits in front of the window with his knees crossed and looks out of the window, and the poplar tree in the yard has begun to bud, and against the clean blue sky, it seems like a dynamic oil painting. He Tu was deeply moved by this beautiful scenery, and often watched it for an hour, and she couldn't hear others call her.
As spring warms up, another person's life has also embarked on the Golden Strip. That's Xiuhan. Since she won the competition award, she soon signed a contract with a well-known agency and released a record. Her voice, and her talent, quickly attracted a large crowd of people who enthusiastically supported her, and they sang almost every song on her records. Of course, Hetu doesn't know these things, she only knows that Xiuhan is famous, and almost half of the people in China know her, and these are only what Hetu sees from TV. Since then, she has also called Xiuhan a few times, but Xiuhan's mother always says that she is not at home and has not come back, which city she has gone to this week, and which city she is going to next week. Xiuhan was very busy, and Hedi knew, so she didn't call her again, but only knew about her situation through TV, fortunately, everything was fine with Xiuhan, and Hedi was also sincerely happy about her smoothness, which was enough for Hedi.
One afternoon in early March, the weather was fine, and the breeze was blowing on everyone's face, bringing the unique scent of spring flowers. Jiafu was packing up his things in the house, and he was going to go to the city to see Hexin and buy some things. A few days ago, he called Hexin, and Hexin said that he had been feeling a little unwell recently, and he always felt like throwing up. Jiafu felt worried, so he planned to go and see her. After packing her things, Cuiying came in, she stood at the door and twisted for a long time, and said, "I want to go too." β
"Huh?" Jiafu looked at her in surprise, "Ah, too, Hexin is not feeling well, and you should be a mother to take a look." β
Cui Ying suddenly smiled, she thought about it, and said, "I want to take Hetu with me." β
"What is she going to do?"
"I see that the baby is always staying at home, very bored, I want to take her out to see, maybe I won't have a chance to take her out in the future......"
Jiafu's heart moved, he looked at his luggage blankly, and muttered, "That's right, then bring Hetu." He turned back to Cuiying and said, "You go and tell her to clean up, there is a bus at two o'clock in the afternoon, and we have to catch the car." β
"Okay, okay." Cuiying hurriedly turned around and went out, feeling very happy in her heart, firstly because she was going to go to the city for a walk, and secondly because she would soon be able to see her eldest daughter. Seeing that Hedi was sitting on the steps holding her chin in a daze, she hurriedly shouted, "Hedi, go clean up!" β
"Huh?" He Tu looked at his mother blankly.
"Oh, let's go to the city with your dad to see your sister, go clean up."
"Really?" Hopping up from the steps in surprise, she quickly turned around and ran into the house. When Herui, who was lying on the tree studying the leaf buds, heard this, she was immediately unhappy, she frowned suddenly, and said unhappily: "Why did you take my sister there!" Why don't you take me there! β
"I'll take you there when you're about to get married." Cui Ying said perfunctorily, and followed Hedi's footsteps into the house. She had heard from Jiafu that she might have to stay in the city for one night, so she had to pack two clothes that could be changed. The unhappy Herui stood next to them with an unhappy Heyi and watched them busy, while asking angrily, "You guys are gone, what should we do?" β
"I told your second aunt that you will go to her house to eat during dinner in the next two days." Speaking of this, she raised her head and glared at He Rui with pretended to be angry, "It's all because I spoiled you, I won't do anything, when your sister is your age, why can't you do it?" Or is it our turn to entrust someone else? β
"It's started again, it's started again." He Rui said helplessly to He Yi, "Mom, don't change the subject. β
"Transfer a fart." Cuiying straightened up and said to Heyi again, "You have been obedient for the past two days, don't run around, listen to your grandmother and second aunt, you know?" β
"Got it!" He Yi happily replied, and she turned to He Rui and said secretly, "We can watch TV in Grandma's house." β
He Rui rarely went to the second aunt's house, and even if He Di went with Heyi, she just stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched them go uphill, and did not follow. The second uncle was in her heart, and the impression was worse than in Hedi's heart, she just didn't want to see the second uncle, so she kept avoiding going to his house. So after hearing Heyi's words, she just smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, made a random scary expression, and said to Heyi in a gloomy tone: "Be careful that the second uncle eats you." β
"What nonsense!" Cuiying knocked on Herui's forehead, "You two are obedient, when your mother comes back, I will bring you candy to eat." β
"Sister!" He Yi ran to He Di's side, pulled her sleeve and said, "Are you going to Sister Xiuhan's house?" β
He Yi put down the clothes in his hand and smiled at He Yi: "Your sister Xiuhan is not at home, and I can't see her when I go, so I won't go." β
"Maybe Sister Xiuhan is at home." He Yi pursed his lips, "If you meet Sister Xiuhan, Sister Xiuhan will definitely ask you to bring me a lot of delicious food." β
"We'll talk about it then." He Tu closed her bag and said to her mother, "Mom, I've packed it." β
"Okay, let's go, I guess your dad is tired of waiting." Cuiying picked up the bag, then took the bag on Hedi's shoulder, turned around and walked outside. He Rui pouted and followed them, and followed them out of the courtyard gate until he reluctantly stopped, and shouted loudly at their backs: "Mom! Don't forget to bring me candy! β
"Got it, hurry in, close the courtyard door, and don't open anyone knocking at night, you know?" Before Cuiying could answer, Jiafu turned around and shouted. He waved his hand at the two small figures of Herui and Heyi, and turned his head with a complicated expression.
"If the conditions allow, I will take my daughters to the city to have a good time." He muttered, bowing his head deeply.
"When the family is good in the future, I can go as many times as I want." Cui Ying caressed Hedi's hair lovingly, "You can play as much as you want." β
