Chapter 13: Home and Mother

Ming Dai walked forward unhurriedly, and the old and faded memories gradually came to life.

Passing through the bustling streets, turning through the alleys where sewage flows, the mottled cement walls on the second floor, the pale green painted Tianzi windows are slightly open, and the pothos branches and leaves hang down from the cracks, swaying lightly in the wind.

Mingdai's home was behind that green window.

Yanjing is expensive, and the Ming family can't afford to buy a house, so they have rented it here since Ming Dai can remember.

It's eleven o'clock in the morning, and when Ming Dai stepped into the house, her mother Yu Ting was choosing vegetables in the kitchen.

Hearing the creaking of the old security door, she looked over.

"Mingdai?" While wiping his hands with his apron, he got up, "Came back so early?" ”

Ming Dai found her pink slippers from the messy pile of shoes at the door and changed them into.

When you raise your eyes, your feet follow.

Yu Ting ten years ago didn't look as young as ten years later.

Also.

Now she is still soaked in the bitter waters of life, and the heavy livelihood almost crushes her shoulders - she has to get up before dawn every day, work as a waitress in a nearby restaurant at noon, and set up a stall in a snack street at night......

Like a tireless spinning top, the face that was still beautiful when it was young was destroyed to the point that it looked at least ten years older than its actual age.

It wasn't until Ming Dai gave up the college entrance examination at the age of eighteen and stepped into the entertainment industry that the family's economic situation improved, and Yu Ting didn't have to go out to work, because Ming Dai's monthly money was enough for the couple to live a comfortable life.

At the beginning, Yu Ting still had a sense of crisis and would save most of the money, so that even if Ming Dai couldn't make money when she was angry, the couple's life in their later years would not be greatly affected.

Slowly, Ming Dai became more and more popular, made more and more money, and the sense of crisis was paralyzed, Yu Ting began to squander, asking Ming Dai for money for various reasons.

Ten years later, the face that Ming Dai saw was a beauty made up of countless money.

On the eve of her rebirth, the exhausted Ming Dai called her adoptive parents, hoping that the aggrieved child would be comforted by her parents.

Yu Ting, who was nervous and worried, asked about her situation in the first sentence, but-

'Will you lose money?' Is your job affected? Can I still buy the villa I saw last time? ’

……

"How's the audition going? Why did you come back alone? Where's your brother? ”

The two voices of this life and the previous life seem to overlap together.

Ming Dai was in a trance for a moment.

She avoided Yu Ting's questioning, walked into the kitchen, and took half of the dishes that Guo Ting had processed.

"I didn't feel well, so I came back on my own."

Hearing this, Yu Ting's ears thought that Ming Dai had passed the audition, and her face was happy.

She hurried into the kitchen and snatched the dish from Mingdai's hand.

"Okay, the kitchen is already small, what are you squeezing in for? Didn't you say uncomfortable? Hurry up and get to rest! Oh yes, don't forget to call and ask when your cousin will be able to come to the house for dinner, thanks to him for showing you the way, otherwise where would we have come from to take you to an audition to be a star......"

"I didn't audition."

Ming Dai lowered her eyelashes and interrupted Yu Ting's lively chatter.

Yu Ting's words came to an abrupt end.

"I didn't ...... Pass? Her voice suddenly sharpened, "Why not?" Is it because the director didn't take a fancy to you? ”

"I just haven't."

Ming Dai slowly picked up other dishes, and the handling movements changed from rusty to skillful.

In the process, Yu Ting's breathing became heavy.

A full minute passed.

Yu Ting took a deep breath and slammed the greens in her hand into the basin.

Her tone was cold and hard, and what she said was just as Ming Dai had guessed in advance:

"I've processed all this pot of vegetables, and I'll use it at night!"

"Oh."

"I'm soaking my clothes in the toilet, and I'm going to wash them in a while!"

"Hmm."

"Where's your glasses? Dangling back like that? I'm afraid that others won't notice you, right? ”

"At my cousin's, he took it and didn't give it back to me."

Yu Ting stared at Ming Dai's delicate side face that seemed to be automatically plated with a layer of streamer, and her anger suddenly rose.

"Aren't there glasses that were previously obsolete? Wear! It's a senior year of high school! The results are so bad! It's not good to read! What are you going to do when you grow up? Seduce men with this face? I knew you were a restless ......."

The bitter and mean abuse passed by her ears, but Ming Dai didn't listen to it, and she wasn't angry.

It's just a little emotional.

It turned out that what made Yu Ting nod in her previous life was not the persuasion of her cousin Kangren.

- It's money.

Mingdai coughed twice more.

Yu Ting scolded constantly: "Are you a young lady who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers?" Let you cough when you wash vegetables! The action is so slow! I was when you were that old! I do all the housework inside and outside my mother's house! Like you now! I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness! ”

Ming Dai casually lowered her eyes and looked at the rough hands soaked in the water, which were hands that had been used to housework since childhood, and they were not fresh and white after ten years of maintenance.

Which Miss Jiao's hands look like this?

Yu Ting still felt that it was not enough: "Let you wash your clothes?" Do something grind and chirp! ”

How could Ming Dai do two things that Yu Ting ordered at the same time.

Think of two basins in front of her, one for washing vegetables and one for washing clothes, and she has her hands down......

"Poof."

Mingdai felt that her head might be burned, and she could still think crankily at this juncture.

Yu Ting looked at her like a fool, and ordered the third thing with disgust:

"The soy sauce at home is gone! Go downstairs and buy a bottle and come back! ”

"Oh."

Ming Dai wiped her hands, took two steps, turned around and came back, and stretched out her hand towards Yu Ting.

Yu Ting glared angrily: "What to do!" ”

"Money."

Yu Ting held back her anger, and it took half a day to pull out a ten-piece for Ming Dai.

"Eight pieces of soy sauce for a bottle, remember to make up two pieces and come back! No hiding! ”

"Yes."

Mingdai moved faster.

She put back on the glasses she used to use in the drawer, so as not to be scolded by Yu Ting again.

stepped on slippers, trotted downstairs, and got rid of Yu Ting's scolding, and the whole world seemed to be fresh.

Mingdai jumped lightly on the lattice bricks of the sidewalk.

She has no distractions, like a childish child immersed in a game.

All it takes is a little fun to be happy.

…… A pair of feet appeared in the field of vision.

Jimmy Choo's pointed-toe heels and a sophisticated elegance that doesn't fit in with the urban village.

Ming Dai followed those feet, looked up, and saw a slightly familiar face.

Short hair, shrewd eyes, slightly ordinary facial features, aggressive and aggressive.

Where have you seen it?

"You've been to Xijiang Mansion just now, haven't you?"

The other party spoke quickly, and there was a faint panting.

Ming Dai tilted her head at her.

"I just saw you there, but you didn't have glasses. Again, I am an agent, are you interested in entering the entertainment industry as an actor? ”

The woman's burning eyes looked at her fixedly, and the undoubted momentum came to her.

If Ming Dai was a real eighteen-year-old girl, she might be nervous.

But she's not.
