Chapter 34: The Ukulele
The third aunt suddenly burst out and laughed.
"Your roommate lied to you, if you really know how to sleepwalk, you dare to live alone in Jiangcheng for so many years?" The third aunt didn't take it seriously.
Du Xinlai also smiled, the roommates in the dormitory were very relaxed, only she was studying hard every day, so she seemed out of place with everyone, maybe the roommate couldn't catch her handle from other places, so she had to make a fuss about these inexplicable things.
"Third aunt, do you regret it now?" Du Xinlai was lying on the bed, watching the third aunt blowing her hair, and suddenly asked.
"Regret what?"
The sound of the hair dryer was very loud, and the third aunt asked loudly.
"Not married and having children." Du Xinlai continued.
In her impression, the third aunt has always been alone, but every time she meets, the third aunt dresses herself up exquisitely, and compared with several other aunts, the third aunt's smile is always the most kind, as if there is no trouble.
The third aunt turned off the hair dryer, fell into deep thought, and said after a while.
"Actually, I'm married."
"You're married? But how come I've never met my third uncle? You guys, gone? ”
"Hmm."
"Why?" Du Xinlai asked.
The third aunt smiled, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness behind that smile.
"Because when we got married, we said that we would be Dink and not have children, but when I got to the age when I couldn't have children, he regretted it."
Although the third aunt was smiling, Du Xinlai could see that she was still very sad, the third aunt did not grow up in her own parents since she was a child, and she was betrayed by her husband when she became an adult.
"Can't you do a test tube?" Du Xinlai asked.
The third aunt shook her head: "No need, when I knew it, there were already people outside him, and the children were born." ”
"And then?"
"I have fulfilled them." The third aunt seems to be telling someone else's story.
"It's good to live alone, it's better than arguing together every day." Du Xinlai thought of his parents and comforted the third aunt.
"Xinlai, in fact, it is a kind of happiness for someone to quarrel, at least there is a smell of fireworks at home, I am afraid that a person will come home cold, the pot is cold, the quilt is also cold, and the heart can't be warmed no matter what."
Du Xinlai used to think that the third aunt lived the most transparent, but she didn't expect her inner world to be like this.
"Third aunt, if you don't move to our apartment, the apartment is very popular, and we still take care of each other." Du Xinlai said.
"Xinlai, why don't you understand, in fact, it's not wrong for your parents to urge you, girls still have to find a partner, have a child at the right age, and when they reach my age, they won't be too lonely." The third aunt finally turned the topic to Du Xinlai.
"I won't, there are so many things that one person can do now, I'm too busy to be busy, how can I be lonely? Third aunt, you still have us, go, change your clothes, and go out to play. ”
The third aunt saw that Du Xinlai could not be persuaded to do so, so she had to give up.
The rain outside the window stopped, and Du Xinlai took the third aunt to the beach.
Zeng Cuo'an is opposite the sea, the third aunt's eyes have always followed the children playing on the beach, everything here is so beautiful, so quiet, as if people forget the troubles of the world.
Until they got into a taxi and prepared to go to Xiamen University.
Along the way, there are phoenix trees and coconut trees with fiery red phoenix flowers.
The air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, and the sea breeze blows, and the whole person is very comfortable.
The third aunt is very satisfied with everything here, and excitedly inquires about the housing prices here, but the brother driver with a northern accent is very irritable, and has been complaining about how perverted the housing prices in Xiamen are, and how the income and housing prices are seriously imbalanced.
The third aunt and Du Xinlai didn't ask any more.
Unfortunately, because of the epidemic, Xiamen University was not allowed to enter, Du Xinlai remembered the oath she had made, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad, she still couldn't get into the most beautiful university in China after all.
The graduate students who were admitted to Xiamen University were not admitted to the entrance examination, and now they have made a special trip to play, but they still can't get in, and since then, her mood has suddenly become beautiful.
The next day, they caught a steamer, went to Gulangyu, climbed the Sunshine Rock, saw the beauty of Xiamen, and that night, they stayed in a homestay on Gulangyu.
This B&B is set by Du Xinlai on the B&B APP, open the curtains and directly see the sea, an absolute sea view room.
The third aunt was excited like a child, but Du Xinlai was seriously taking photos of the B&B from all angles.
The third aunt asked her what she was doing, and Du Xinlai said that she would know when she went back.
Du Xinlai took a video of the sunset, beach, and coast by the beach at dusk and posted it on the circle of friends, and she really didn't feel it when she was in Jiangcheng on such a leisurely day.
In those years, every day was like a war, sometimes I had to go to Beijing to have a script meeting, I got up at four or five o'clock in the morning, rushed to the airport to take the earliest plane, and after arriving at the hotel, I had a non-stop meeting, I didn't even have time to eat a bite of food, and after the meeting, I flew back non-stop.
Over the years, she has slowly learned that when she goes on a business trip, she must put a bag of soda biscuits in her bag, and she must not wear too tight suit pants that day, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to take a plane, and it is best to take a taxi by business car, because she gets up too early in the morning, runs all the way, and it is easy to get motion sickness by taxi, so motion sickness medicine is also necessary.
Every day is such a war-like life, so that when she was in Jiangcheng, she never appreciated the sunset well, and the days when she didn't go on business or pay were basically two points and one line life, and that kind of day was in stark contrast to the life in front of her, is it poetry and distance now?
Du Xinlai casually took a video of a child playing in the sand on the beach, of course, she didn't shoot the child's face, accompanied by music, and sent it to Douyin after using some editing methods, she rarely brushes Douyin, but because the short video is menacing, she also registered an account, and occasionally brushes it to see if there is a good TV series.
On the third day, the third aunt suddenly had a stomachache, saying that she might have eaten too much seafood and had some diarrhea, so the third aunt rested in the hotel.
Du Xinlai went outside alone, someone played the ukulele on Gulangyu Island, Du Xinlai stopped to listen for a while, and her thoughts drifted back to college, when there was a boy who always held his guitar and sang downstairs in the dormitory.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, it was Cheng Yi, and Du Xinlai picked it up.
"I heard that you hid from me and went to Xiamen?" Cheng Yi's gentle and teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You're thinking too much, I didn't even think about going back to Jiangcheng." Du Xinlai said with a smile.
"Don't give it a chance?" Cheng Yi said.
"If you just want to solve the trouble of this drama, I can show you the way, it can't be released in China, maybe the overseas market can be developed, this should be your strength." Du Xinlai said.
She is indeed not a warm-hearted person, but Weaving Dreams has cultivated her, and this trick can be regarded as repaying her kindness.
"But the overseas market is still not as big as the domestic market?" Cheng Yi was a little hesitant.
"Isn't the current situation a little bit recotrievable? It's better than smashing it in your hands, right? Investment has always made and lost, and since there is no gambling to win this time, you have to find a way to minimize the risk. Du Xinlai reminded.
At this time, she returned to the way she was directing in the workplace.
"When are you coming back? I'll wait for you. Cheng Yi became excited.
"No, don't bother my vacation anymore." Du Xinlai hung up the phone after speaking.
found that the ukulele's voice was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and as soon as she came back, she found that Guo Xiao was holding the ukulele and walking towards her.
