This time, I came to Anshan Town with Guan Baiyu, including Qiu Yunxin, there were five people, two men and three women.
They are all natives of Changxi City.
The final exam was done the day before the day before, and it was already night after the exam. Yesterday afternoon, students were asked to come to school to clean up.
In this way, the holiday is only one and a half days in total. Many people like Guan Baiyu who are not in Changxi City do not go home because it is too troublesome to go home.
But Qiu Yunxin and the others, who lived in Changxi City, went home and lived in the past two days, and took home everything from the school.
Because of this, they can play lightly in Anshan Town today.
Qiu Yunxin's grandmother's house was in Anshan Town. She reserved her mother's room here. If three people could stay there, she invited two of her best friends together.
As for the two boys... One of the two boys lives in the same building as Qiu Yunxin's house, and has been a childhood sweetheart with Qiu Yunxin. He has always liked Qiu Yunxin very much. It happened that his grandparents lived in Anshan Town. on a friend of mine.
Those three girls were very curious about Guan Baiyu, while the two boys were hostile to Guan Baiyu. They kept asking Guan Baiyu all kinds of questions along the way, which made Guan Baiyu a little irritable.
"Brother." Seeing Shi Zhen, Guan Baiyu immediately greeted him.
"Xiaoyu." Shi Zhen called out and looked at the person beside Guan Baiyu: "Is this your friend?"
"They are all my classmates." Guan Baiyu didn't think these people were his friends, but at most ordinary classmates.
He looked at Qiu Yunxin and the others helplessly, what are they doing here? What is there to do in the countryside
"Guan Baiyu's brother, do you still remember me? I said last time that I wanted to come to Anshan Town to play." Qiu Yunxin gathered up her courage and spoke up.
"Remember, are you going to play at our house now?" Shi Zhen asked.
"No, we'll come tomorrow. We'll bring something to eat and cook picnic in the countryside." Qiu Yunxin said.
Aside from the two boys who followed, she and her two best friends had already figured out how to play.
Today, they go to her grandfather's and grandmother's house to have a rest, and tomorrow they will go to Guan Baiyu's house to find Guan Baiyu, and then they can set up a stove in the countryside and cook wild rice and tea eggs to eat.
Although they cook wild rice here, usually in April and May, they use buckwheat, green onion, bacon, peas, bamboo shoots, etc., but at this time, can they also cook something different
For example, candied dates, glutinous rice, pumpkin glutinous rice or something, they all love to eat them.
Thinking of the time when they will have to cook by themselves, they are looking forward to it.
Thinking like this, Qiu Yunxin asked again, "Is it alright?"
"Of course." Shi Zhen said. Guan Baiyu's classmates want to come to Guan Baiyu to play, he can't stop him.
Guan Baiyu glanced at Qiu Yunxin and the others. Along the way, he had already told them that the countryside was no longer fun, but they still wanted to come... Now Shi Zhen agreed, he could only be silent.
"Goodbye!" Qiu Yunxin waved goodbye to Guan Baiyu.
"Goodbye." Guan Baiyu nodded towards them and followed Shi Zhen to Shi Zhen's tricycle.
He first put his schoolbag and quilt bag on the car, and then got on Shi Zhen's tricycle.
This was what he was used to, but Qiu Yunxin and the others were all stunned.
Whether it's Guan Baiyu or Shi Zhen, both have good temperaments, but now that they are sitting on the tricycle, they immediately give people a feeling of... shattering.
"Xinxin, are you really going to play at Guan Baiyu's house tomorrow?" asked the boy who was a childhood friend with Qiu Yunxin. His name was Li Dongchen, and his mother was a colleague with Qiu Yunxin's mother, so he lived in a family building since childhood.
"Yes." Qiu Yunxin said.
"What fun is there in the country, it's dirty, you'll step on chicken shit if you're not careful, and dogs will run after you."
"What's wrong with me wanting to go? You don't have to go if you don't want to." Qiu Yunxin said angrily.
She didn't like Li Dongchen when she was a child, and she was angry because others said she was Li Dongchen's little daughter-in-law.
But when I grow up, I can live peacefully with Li Dongchen... She knows that Li Dongchen likes her, but she really doesn't like Li Dongchen.
But her parents liked Li Dongchen very much. This time she was going to play in Anshan Town. Her parents turned around and told Li Dongchen's parents.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault... I want to go." Li Dongchen quickly apologized.
Qiu Yunxin rolled her eyes at him and went to talk to her best friend.
Qiu Yunxin's two best friends are called Sun Qiqi and Cheng Tian.
They all grew up in the city, and they are curious about the countryside.
Cheng Tian said: "Guan Baiyu is so old and still riding a tricycle, it's really weird."
Sun Qiqi said, "It's actually quite cute."
Qiu Yunxin said, "Is it just a means of transportation... Don't say that to others."
They chatted and chatted, and they talked about Sun Qiqi, the uncle who was once fostered in Guanjia Village.
Qiu Yunxin asked, "Qiqi, was your uncle really fostered in Guanjia Village when he was a child?"
Sun Qiqi wasn't sure about this before, but she asked when she went home a few days ago, but she was sure: "Yes!"
"What a coincidence, what is your uncle doing now?"
"My uncle was in the engineering team before, and he fell to his death while repairing the water tower." Sun Qiqi sighed.
"Ah... I'm sorry." Qiu Yunxin quickly apologized.
"It's alright, when my uncle had an accident, I was just born, and I don't really have any impression of him." Sun Qiqi said.
"What kind of person is he?" Cheng Tian was curious.
Sun Qiqi told them about her uncle: "My uncle was born by my grandfather's first wife, his mother died of dystocia after giving birth, so he was sent to the country, and a nurse was found to take him. I gave him money every month. Later, when he was a little older, when he was about three or four years old, my grandfather wanted to bring him back, but his country nurse... probably wanted money, and coaxed him to cry but couldn't go home. Later, my grandfather went to pick him up several times, but he didn't pick him up. It wasn't until he was in his teens that he forcibly picked him up, but he was not close to my grandfather, and my grandfather arranged a light job for him. Ken went, and went to the engineering team... After he was gone, my grandfather was always in pain and felt sorry for him."
Cheng Tian said old-fashioned: "You can't raise a child for others. I have a relative who was also a dual worker at the time. He sent the child to the countryside to be breastfed by others. When he was brought back, the child didn't recognize his parents at all! But I The relatives' children were young when they were brought back, but they are fine now."
The three girls chatted and let it go.
On the other side, Shi Zhen told Guan Baiyu about Zhao Dongjuan's marriage.
That Wang family is not a good family, even... Shi Zhen felt that this family was a bit similar to the demolition household that Zhao Dongjuan looked for in her previous life.
It is almost the low-end version of the demolition household.
However, the more such a person is, the more Zhao Dongjuan is pinched to death.
At first, their family thought that Zhao Dongjuan loved Wang Zugen to death, and felt that Zhao Dongjuan, a girl from the mountains, must not know anything and let them handle it. As for the bride price, Zhao Dongjuan would take it back anyway, and they did not lose at all.
result…
When Guan Baiyu returned home, he saw that the beds of Shi Xingchao and Shi Xinghuo had been dismantled, and he felt refreshed.
Their family, finally only him and his brother! Too bad they don't live in the same house.
But that's fine, lest he do something humiliating if he doesn't pay attention.
In fact, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's not good to scare his brother!
Guan Baiyu asked Shi Zhen to go to work and cook by himself.
Shi Zhen didn't stop him and went to work - Shi Xingchao was not there, he had a lot of things to do.
The scariest thing is... some people will ask him how to knit a sweater.
This... he knows the simplest flat stitch, but he really doesn't understand the complicated pattern, and he is not interested in learning it.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Shi Zhen woke up early in the morning and found that Guan Baiyu was wearing old clothes.
Shi Zhen was a little strange: "Xiaoyu, when your classmates are coming, why are you still wearing old clothes?"
"They want to cook wild rice or something. Wearing new clothes is easy to get dirty." Guan Baiyu was serious.
"If it's dirty, it's dirty, but if you wash it, it's done?" Shi Zhen was a little amused, and then said, "By the way, I tidied up your uncle Jianguo's room for sending and receiving sweaters yesterday, you can take them there to sit. Sit down and go outside to play together."
The place where he and Guan Baiyu lived... was still mud! The place for sending and receiving sweaters is different. Although there are a lot of sweaters here, there are also stools to sit on and soft drinks to drink.
Guan Baiyu said: "Brother, my house is pretty good, let them go to my house."
Shi Zhen realized something at this time: "You don't like them?"
"Yeah." Guan Baiyu was sure.
It turned out to be like this... Shi Zhen said: "Okay, that's up to you."
Guan Baiyu is also a hard-hearted person. If a girl likes him, he is not happy at all, and he has to push it out.
"Brother, let them think that our family is very poor, you mustn't say anything!" Guan Baiyu said.
Shi Zhen: "…"
"Actually, our family is really poor. You see, we don't have the money to build a house." Guan Baiyu said.
Okay... Shi Zhen originally thought about entertaining Guan Baiyu's classmates, but now seeing Guan Baiyu like this, he gave up his plan.
The weather was very good today, and it was rare that there was no wind. The women in the village moved the stools outside to bask in the sun while embroidering clothes.
There are also some women who do not embroider clothes, but use boiled cocoons as "cotton pockets". The locals raise silkworms. Some of the cocoons are sold for money, and some are kept for silk quilts or cotton-padded clothes.
Shi Zhen had nothing to do, just sitting at the door and embroidering clothes.
In a few days, the clothing factory will have a holiday. They will not send him clothes anymore, and they will settle accounts with him years ago. This work will not be done for a few days.
While Shi Zhen was doing it, a surprised voice sounded: "Guan Baiyu's brother?"
Shi Zhen turned his head and saw five young people aged sixteen or seventeen, all of them looking at him in surprise.
These people came early.
"You are here? Guan Baiyu is at home." Shi Zhen said.
"Guan Baiyu lives here?" Qiu Yunxin asked, looking at the house in front of her. Is Guan Baiyu's family very poor? This house looks great!
"No, he's over there." Shi Zhen pointed to Guan Baiyu's house not far away.
He originally wanted to give Guan Baiyu a face, but Guan Baiyu doesn't need it, so forget it.
He couldn't do things that Guan Baiyu didn't like.
Qiu Yunxin followed Shi Zhen's finger and saw a small house that was broken down.
She and her classmates looked at each other, but they still walked over there. As soon as they got closer, they saw Guan Baiyu wearing a cotton padded jacket sitting on earthcloth, washing clothes at the door of the house.
Guan Baiyu took off Shi Zhen's quilt again and washed it.
It's been a while since I washed Shi Zhen's quilt last time.
Such Guan Baiyu was completely different from the Guan Baiyu Qiu Yunxin had seen before.
In addition to seeing Guan Baiyu, she also saw the house behind Guan Baiyu.
The door of the house was open, and at first glance, it was really broken and small, especially, in such a small room, in addition to the stove and table, there was even a bed.
Guan Baiyu, living in such a place
Qiu Yunxin felt distressed for a while.
The same goes for Cheng Tian and Sun Qiqi. Although they feel a little disillusioned, they also feel... Guan Baiyu is too pitiful, right
It seems that many rumors in the school are true. His family is very poor. He is so poor, and he still works so hard. It's amazing!
The three looked at Guan Baiyu's eyes, full of pity.
Guan Baiyu: "..." This is not right!
Guan Baiyu deliberately acted poorer, and wanted Qiu Yunxin to know that they were not from the same world, and it was impossible.
But looking at Qiu Yunxin's eyes... Qiu Yunxin probably didn't think so.
On the other hand, those two boys were full of disgust when they looked at his house.
"You guys came a little early, I haven't finished washing the quilt... Why don't you guys go for a walk first?" Guan Baiyu said.
"No, no, we'll just watch you," Qiu Yunxin smiled, "Guan Baiyu, you're really capable, and you can even wash the quilt."
Can you wash a quilt? Guan Baiyu was a little stunned.
Li Dongchen even said: "I can also wash the quilt!"
Qiu Yunxin immediately scolded him: "You will brag! Your mother said that you don't do laundry in school, and you bring home dirty clothes every week."
"It's inconvenient to do laundry in school..." Li Dongchen said embarrassedly. He also does laundry in summer. In winter, it's not because the water is too cold, and it's not easy to dry after washing. Plus, he doesn't change clothes, so he doesn't wash them anyway
Qiu Yunxin had left him alone. She went into the room and moved a stool for herself. She sat and talked to Guan Baiyu. She was probably out of words, so she asked how to learn English.
Guan Baiyu said: "English needs to be listened to and read more, and there are words that need to be memorized repeatedly."
"Mmmm." Qiu Yunxin nodded repeatedly.
Guan Baiyu and Qiu Yunxin were really unfamiliar, in fact, they didn't say a few words together, and the two would soon have nothing to talk about. Qiu Yunxin thought about it and found a topic: "By the way, Sun Qiqi, her uncle, was in Guan Yu when she was a child. I lived in the village!"
"Really?" Guan Baiyu was a little alert when he heard the surname "Sun".
"Yes, my uncle was fostered here when he was a child." Sun Qiqi said.
The surname is Sun again, and it is foster care... Guan Baiyu smiled and asked, "What the hell is going on? Can you tell me? Maybe I know, after all, I grew up here."
Sun Qiqi also had a good impression of Guan Baiyu, but she didn't think there was anything she couldn't say about her uncle, so she immediately told what she knew.
This is a different statement from Guanjia Village.
After all, the people here say that he kisses his grandfather, and that he will leave his father here and leave it alone.
I don't know which is real and which is fake.
Guan Baiyu asked: "It's a pity that your uncle is gone... When he died, was he married? Did he have any children?"
"My uncle is not married and has no children."
"Really? He must have been quite young when he died, right?"
"It's not too young, but he's not married. I'm going to kowtow to my uncle for Qingming and so on." Sun Qiqi said.
Guan Baiyu's movements froze, he lowered his head, and after a while, he raised his head again.
He faintly felt that something was wrong.
Before Sun Pingfu knew that he was from Anshan Town and his surname was Guan, he had no reaction at all, nothing unusual at all.
Now Sun Qiqi doesn't even know that her uncle has children.
This is not normal.
Guan Baiyu thought of a lot of doubts between the lights and flints.
For example... Since Sun Pingfu was very rich, he had raised his son in the countryside for more than ten years, so even if he didn't like his grandson, he wouldn't ignore him at all, right
There is also Sun Qiqi's statement... Sun Qiqi said that his uncle's nanny taught him to cry and not go home... Thaksin.
People outside may think that his grandma is an ordinary old country lady, but he has been living with his grandmother. During the two years when his grandmother was paralyzed, he was the only one who served him. He knew that his grandmother was not a good-natured person. Also... especially concerned about money.
Her grandmother couldn't finish the meat sent by others, even if it was spoiled, she wouldn't give it to others.
At that time, his aunt would often send snacks such as dried longan to his grandmother. Her grandmother put it in the bed and peeled it when she had time to eat. But he never ate it.
His grandmother is not a person who likes children, loves children.
Isn't he the son of the Sun family
But this is a bit ridiculous. If he is not the child of the Sun family, where did he come from? His brother... what's going on
Or, the fuck exists, the Sun family doesn't know
Guan Baiyu lowered his eyelids, put aside the quilt cover that had not been rinsed after washing, rinsed the foam on his hands, and looked at Qiu Yunxin and the others: "I'll take you to the village for a walk."
"Okay, okay." The three girls nodded again and again.
