Chapter 374 Encouraging Xiao Shiyu to participate in the competition
This dinner was the first time that all the members of the family that would be brought together had eaten together.
The overall atmosphere is pretty good.
After the meal, Wu Xiuhong stayed to wash the dishes, and only after the bowls were almost cleaned up did she pull Bai Xiaoling away.
Bai Xiaoling was a little reluctant, looking outside: "Ah, the moon is out, it's so late, can you see it clearly on the road?" ”
Yan Xin could only follow: "Aunt Wu, it's so late, why don't you stay and stay, anyway, there is a room here." ”
When he wasn't there, Wu Xiuhong didn't live here.
But the problem is that he is at home today, and Wu Xiuhong is not officially married to Yan Xin's father, which is a little embarrassing, and staying to live seems to be how unserious he is.
So she still insisted on going back: "There are still chickens at home, and we have to go back and close the chicken coop so that the weasel will not come to bite the chicken." ”
Bai Xiaoling muttered in a low voice: "But it's so late now, and it's not easy to walk on the road, what if I fall?" ”
Wu Xiuhong glared at her: "With such a bright moonlight, are you afraid that you can't see the road clearly?" ”
Today is the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the moon comes out early and is also very bright, so you really don't have to worry about not being able to see the road clearly.
Bai Xiaoling had no choice but to go back with her mother - in fact, she really wanted to stay here for one night.
Such a beautiful house, I haven't lived in it yet.
But her mother has lived here a few times.
When they went back, they didn't go back empty-handed, Yan Xin bought them Mid-Autumn Festival gifts before he came, and now he naturally brought them back.
I also invited them to come together tomorrow for the holiday, and I agreed.
In two or three months, a new family will be formed, and it is perfectly acceptable to eat together and celebrate the festival together during the holidays.
After they left, Yan Xin watched TV with his father for a while.
Watching TV is fake, the main thing is to understand his father's attitude towards that family, full of dissatisfaction, and how satisfied he is.
The evaluation he got from his father is still okay, although his father is embarrassed to say some things, but it is obvious that he still has certain expectations for forming such a new family, and he also has some expectations for the future days.
That's it.
Of course, he also has a little bit of loss in his heart - has the relationship between his father and his mother for more than ten years been replaced like this?
From his mother's point of view, he is still a little lost.
But as an adult, he also knows that life has to go on, and what should be let go has to be let go.
Compared with this loss, his father living alone here will make him feel more uncomfortable.
That's good, too.
That night, he lay on the bed alone, chatting with Alili and Feng Xi QQ, and chatting with Xiao Shiyu during the period.
Xiao Shiyu will not come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival and will continue to stay in school.
She told Yan Xin that there was a theatrical evening in her school during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she still had a show to perform.
Yan Xin asked what the program was, and the answer was a dance program.
This surprised Yan Xin: "You can still dance?" ”
Xiao Shiyu: "I signed up for a dance class and added a dance club in the school, and now I have become the president of that dance club." ”
Yan Xin: "Aren't you going to become a dance artist in a few years?" ”
Xiao Shiyu: "I don't have that kind of idea, I just practice my body when I learn dance, and I don't invest too much energy." However, it is okay to paddle at the school's art evening. ”
Yan Xin asked again: "What kind of dance did you learn?" ”
Xiao Shiyu: "Classical dance." ”
Yan Xin didn't know if the classical dance she was talking about was an Eastern classical dance or a Western classical dance, anyway, when he saw the word classical, he automatically substituted it for the Oriental classical dance.
imagined Xiao Shiyu dancing in Hanfu.
It doesn't matter if you dance well or not, such a beautiful girl, and then wear Hanfu, it must look good.
I immediately thought of my own Hanfu online store, so I left a message:
"If you are interested in making a little money in the future, you can cooperate with my online store to be a Hanfu model and take some photos wearing Hanfu."
Xiao Shiyu knew that he cooperated with others to open an online store, and she also helped promote it at the beginning, so she didn't think it was strange.
replied to him: "No problem, I also bought a lot of clothes in your online store, and there are several sets of Hanfu." When you are free over there, you can come to me and take pictures. ”
Yan Xin thought of one thing: "After the National Day, the second Hanfu Goddess Contest on our website is about to start again, why don't you also participate?" When the time comes, I'll have a black box to get you to the finals. ”
Xiao Shiyu is also a user of Starlight Network, and she knew about the goddess of Hanfu, so she didn't refuse, but just asked:
"Do I still need a black box to make it to the finals?"
That's pretty confident.
In terms of appearance, she is no worse than the Hanfu goddesses who entered the finals in the last session.
The conditions are there, and it's no wonder she has such self-confidence.
But Yan Xin didn't have that confidence in her.
It's normal for beautiful girls to be eliminated.
Because there are too many beautiful girls participating in such an event, in the primary selection stage, everyone will have a feeling of being charming, and it is difficult to tell which one is more beautiful.
It's more reassuring to operate in a black box.
However, Xiao Shiyu asked such a thing, and he could only quickly say:
"I'm kidding you, the selection mechanism of our website has been decided, there is no possibility of black box operation, and it is all voted by users. I'm sure you'll make it to the finals. ”
The matter was so happily settled.
Being able to become a model in their online store can also earn a decent income, at least for a girl who is studying, that's a lot of income.
Even if Xiao Shiyu's family is not short of money, if he can have more income, his life can obviously be better.
This can be regarded as helping this old classmate.
The last time Xiao Shiyu came to Yangcheng, after knowing that he had a girlfriend, the relationship between the two fell into an embarrassing situation.
I've recovered a lot now, but I'm not going to be back to the way I used to be.
On the one hand, Yan Xin felt a little more relaxed, and on the other hand, he had a little regret.
- Men, it cannot be said that all of them are like that, but we must also admit that there is a small minority, no more than 99 percent of men, who have that kind of problem.
Regardless, he still hopes that the friendship between the two will last.
I also hope that Xiao Shiyu can live a better life.
It's best not to marry an old man who is dozens of years older than him for money like in his previous life, and then call him a widow at a young age - although it seems that Xiao Shiyu in his previous life enjoys that kind of life, but Yan Xin feels that this is not good.
Until now, he still can't understand why this girl has such a bad family condition and looks so beautiful, why can't she think about it so much, and she has to marry an old man?
The chat with Alili and Feng Xi is very ordinary, just saying some longing words, occasionally mixed with some content that is inappropriate for children.
That's what the previous chat looked like.
If there is anything different this time, it is that talking to the two of them about these things at the same time gave him the illusion of hugging left and right.
You can't do anything like that in reality, but it's cool to imagine.
After all, YY is not a crime under the current law.
The next day, the father and son had a relatively simple breakfast, and Yan Xin left his father at home and went to the matchmaker's house alone on the family's old bicycle.
The bicycle is still a second-hand bicycle that Yan's father bought a few years ago for dozens of yuan from a bicycle repair shop in the town next door, and it can still be stepped on, but the whole body is ringing when you step on it, as if it is going to fall apart at any time.
I thought to myself, "This bike is too bad, it's too dangerous to ride, I still have to go to town and buy a new one." ”
He doesn't ride his bike much at home, but his dad often rides his bike to the town next door to sell things, and if the bike suddenly falls apart on the road, it won't be good.
To be on the safe side, you still have to buy a new bike.
This time, he went to give a gift to the matchmaker, so as not to cause sabotage.
Originally, he wanted to put those gifts in the basket, but after riding a few meters, he felt that the car was too bumpy, and he was afraid that the pair of wines would be upset.
Put it in the back seat, and I'm afraid that it will be too bad, and I don't know when it will fall.
Just put those things in a backpack, carry them on your back, pull the strap tight, and step on it.
Although the car was very bumpy, the gift was not too much of a problem.
When I arrived at the matchmaker's house, their family was having breakfast, and I was very surprised to see him coming.
The matchmaker is still a little worried - is she dissatisfied with the matchmaker she has made and wants to come over to find trouble?
Obviously, someone took the initiative to find it.
However, seeing the smile on Yan Xin's face, he relieved himself - this is not to ask for trouble.
When he saw Yan Xin taking out the gift from his backpack, he immediately became happy, and felt that the old Yan of the twelfth group was not very good at being a person, but his son was still quite good at being a person.
It's no wonder that people can mix so well when they go out, and build such a beautiful building for their family in two years.
For the sake of these gifts, their family was very enthusiastic about Yan Xin, and asked him if he wanted to eat here.
Yan Xin said that he had already eaten.
The gift was delivered, the favor was enough, and I didn't stay long, so I chatted for more than ten minutes, thanked the matchmaker for the filming, and also said that the family would be combined in two or three months, and said that by that time, the matchmaker would definitely be invited over for dinner, and there would be a thank you gift.
This made the matchmaker even happier.
Ten minutes later, Yan Xin left the matchmaker's house on the boastful bicycle.
Instead of going home, I went to the next town.
After crossing the river, there is the next town.
I first found a bicycle repair shop and sold the old bicycle for scrap for ten yuan, and then found a bicycle shop in the town, where I picked a bicycle of a similar model.
It is a brand of goods, Phoenix bicycles.
It cost him more than three hundred dollars.
By the way, I installed the basket, bought a pump, and pedaled the new bike home.
When I passed by a fruit stall, I also bought two catties of grapes, four or five catties of bananas, and a cantaloupe.
Then put them in the basket and go home.
When I got home, it was already past ten o'clock, Wu Xiuhong and Bai Xiaoling came over, Wu Xiuhong was busy in the kitchen, and Bai Xiaoling was not idle, washing vegetables by the well.
Seeing Yan Xin coming back, Bai Xiaoling shouted happily: "Brother, you're back!" ”
This warm greeting made Yan Xin a little dazed, as if the girl in front of him was really his sister.
When people who have left home return home, it feels quite warm to have someone greet them with a smile and enthusiasm.
Yan's father doesn't have this enthusiasm - maybe he will be very excited about his son's return, but he will never show it, but he is restraining himself and not showing it.
Yan Xin has always had some prejudices against Bai Xiaoling, thinking that this girl is too materialistic, and she only knows how to ask for it.
But at this moment, I had a different idea, thinking:
"Actually, it's good to have such a sister at home, which can make the house more lively and have a better atmosphere."
Yan's father is a person who is not good at words, similar to wood, he doesn't know how to express his emotions, and he is even a little timid to express his emotions.
Wu Xiuhong's situation is a little better, but not much better.
Yan Xin is not a person who knows how to create an atmosphere, and even because of his presence, the two elders will be even more unable to let go, and the atmosphere will be even more embarrassing.
At this time, Bai Xiaoling's importance is reflected.
She can make the atmosphere more harmonious, and can make the family more lively and lively.
Just like last night's meal, if Bai Xiaoling was not there, the atmosphere would be very awkward and depressing.
With her, it's a lot easier.
Thinking about it like this, Yan Xin felt that it was not bad to have such a sister.
Even if it takes a little bit, it's worth it.
He stopped his bike and said with a smile, "When did you come?" ”
"It's been over an hour." Bai Xiaoling said.
Then she noticed the bicycle that Yan Xin was riding, and exclaimed: "Brother, have you bought a new car?" ”
"yes, my bike was so old that I was afraid it would fall apart, so I sold it and bought this new one." Yan Xin said.
While they were talking, Yan's father came out of the kitchen, and when he saw that Yan Xin had bought a new car, he couldn't help but nag:
"I can still ride my family's car, what do I do when I buy a new car?"
"It's too old, it's not safe, it's better to buy a new one." Yan Xin said with a smile.
"Then you don't have to buy a new one, you can buy a second-hand one, and you have to worry about others stealing the new one." Yan Dad said.
Before Yan Xin could say anything, Bai Xiaoling spoke:
"Dad, don't say that, you see that brother is such a talent, if he rides a second-hand bicycle, he must not be ridiculed? I am reluctant to buy even a new bicycle, maybe people will say how hard our family is, this is spread out, and it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law. ”
As soon as Yan's father heard that it would affect his son's image, and even affect his son's daughter-in-law, he didn't say anything about it.
Then he asked, "How much did the old one sell?" ”
Obviously, it was only sold for ten yuan, but in order to make his father feel better, Yan Xin still said, "It was sold for thirty yuan." ”
Father Yan nodded: "The price is okay." ”
That old bicycle, if you can negotiate the price, it can indeed be sold for a little more expensive.
But if you bargain for that amount of money, I don't know how long it will take, Yan Xin doesn't bother to talk about that price, if someone opens a price of ten yuan, he will get rid of it immediately, and the main thing is to save trouble.
】
In front of his father, of course, he couldn't say that, he could only say that the price was higher, which made his father not feel so distressed.
But I still muttered that such a new bicycle stepping on the street would attract the attention of thieves, and I had to buy a big lock.
A larger lock will cost dozens of dollars.
Yan Xin pushed the bicycle directly into the hall, took out the fruits in the basket, put the cantaloupe and grapes in the refrigerator, broke off two bananas, and gave one to Bai Xiaoling.
Bai Xiaoling was washing vegetables by the well, and when she saw him coming over with a banana to give her to eat, she smiled and said, "Brother, I can't have empty hands now, you help me peel the banana." ”
As he spoke, he straightened his neck at him and pouted, obviously asking him to feed.
Yan Xin couldn't refuse, so he could only peel the banana and hand it to her mouth.
Bai Xiaoling also opened her mouth cooperatively, waiting for him to feed.
Seeing that the banana didn't enter Bai Xiaoling's ruddy mouth, Yan Xin suddenly thought of a shoddy film he had seen in the domestic production area in his previous life, which was about brothers and sisters, and there were bananas.
Suddenly, my heart beat faster.
My face is a little red.
I thought to myself, "I'm so dirty, how can I think about these things?" ”
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I didn't dare to look at it seriously, my eyes looked elsewhere.
I am afraid that the blood of the body will flow to a not so good place.
If he is discovered, then he is really dead, and he will not go home again in this life.
Bai Xiaoling didn't feel anything abnormal, under his feeding, she ate all the bananas, and then smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, brother, you are so good to me!" ”
Yan Xin smiled reluctantly: "Well, family, this is all as it should be." ”
I felt that I was too dirty before, and I was embarrassed to stay here, and said: "I've been riding a bicycle for so long, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest first, and I won't accompany you first." ”
"Brother, go ahead, I'll call you when you eat." Bai Xiaoling said.
Yan Xin hurriedly went upstairs and returned to his bedroom.
Without anyone else, I couldn't help but think of the scene I had just seen Bai Xiaoling eating bananas, and I felt a little messy:
"What the hell am I thinking?"
"She'll be my sister from now on!"
"It's a beast!"
A person reflected on himself and blamed himself in the room for more than ten minutes, and then his emotions stabilized, thinking to himself:
"I shouldn't have watched that kind of movie in my previous life, and I was poisoned by a good young man like me!"
However, until it was time to eat at noon, he didn't dare to look at Bai Xiaoling, for fear that he would have any bad thoughts if he was not careful.
At the same time, he also discovered another thing - this cheap sister seems to be quite beautiful, and she seems to be developing well.
Then he felt even dirtier.
