First time entering Baomi Di
My mother and I cooked dinner, and she helped me cook. My aunt was sent by me to chat with Ji Guanxin. I think the two of them would be able to have a good chat.
In the outer room, I was cooking, and my mother suddenly asked me: "Zijin, do you really not like Ji Guanxin?"
My hand holding the spatula paused, and then I said back to her: "Mom, can you stop bringing this up all day long? Look at what you said to Ji Guanxin at noon, where would I turn my face?"
My mother said: "I didn't say anything, just chatting normally."
I said, "What do you call normal nagging? If we nag a little more, our children will be named whatever they want in the future."
My mother said, "The more I see Guan Xin, the more rare he is. If you like him too, then you can go with him when the new year is over. Your dad and I always say that we want you to stay at home. But I don’t have anything at home. You finally got into Yecheng University and worked as a translator. Don’t let yourself be ruined in the province.”
I suddenly felt sour in my heart. I didn't know if it was because of the smoke from cooking in the iron pot. I just felt that my eyes were tired and I wanted to cry.
After a two-second pause, I adjusted my breathing secretly, and then replied aloud: "Mom, I'm not leaving. At most, I will find a job in Winter City and not leave you and my dad."
My mother was also very sad. She sighed and said: "When my daughter is older, she will not stay in the family. She will stay here and there to make enemies. Your father and I can't bear to let you go, but we don't want to see you unhappy either."
I said, "Why am I unhappy? Haven't you seen me laughing so heartlessly all day long?"
My mother said: "That's after Ji Guanxin comes. How long can he stay here? What about after he leaves? Who makes you laugh?"
I suddenly felt like there was a lump in my throat, and I was so stunned that I couldn't say a word.
After a while, a plate of green pepper and potato slices was fried in my pot and put on the plate, and I said out loud: "Mom, I actually like Ji Guanxin, but I just don't know if we can have a long-term relationship."
My mother said: "When I was young, I always felt that many things would be better if I took fewer detours, and I wished I could reach the sky in one step. But when I get to this age, I look back and think about it, what are I afraid of? There are only two outcomes of being together, for a lifetime or for a while. No matter what, you two are together because you like each other. Even if you break up in the future, it will be inappropriate. What is there to be afraid of? "
My mother's words suddenly pushed open the closed window in my heart, and I felt suddenly enlightened.
Seeing that I was holding the plate motionless, my mother said: "Stop thinking about it, just take it in quickly, it will get cold in a while."
When I walked past her, I winked at her and whispered: "Teacher Lin, you are a bit educated. You are worthy of being one of the few top students who graduated from technical secondary schools in this city."
My mother looked proud and replied to me: "Well, if I don't study well, with your father's IQ, can you get admitted to Night City University?"
I curled my lips and opened the door to the back room. I thought Ji Guanxin and my aunt would be sitting on the kang with big eyes and small eyes. Unexpectedly, they put a low table on the kang and started playing cards. .
Seeing me coming in, Ji Guanxin turned around and said, "My aunt is very good at playing cards."
I saw that there were two balls of white soft paper stuffed in his nostrils. Because the room was hot, he was sitting cross-legged on the quilt wearing a white shirt. I thought it was funny.
Putting the plate on the dining table, I said out loud: "My aunt is over eighty, and you can't even beat her. It's shameful."
Ji Guanxin said: "My aunt taught me how to play your cards. I just learned it."
I said, "Otherwise? Do you want to drag my aunt to play mahjong with you?"
It was obvious that Ji Guanxin was good at coaxing people, even my aunt was smiling all over her face.
Twenty minutes later, all the dishes were ready. My mother and I returned to the inner room from the outer room to greet them for dinner.
My mother put on my aunt's shoes, and my aunt kept saying to my mother, "Xiao Li, you are a very good son-in-law, very good."
My mother raised her head and smiled: "Really? Where can I get better?"
My aunt gave him a thumbs up and replied vaguely: "He is handsome and can talk. I quite like him."
I glanced at Ji Guanxin. I don’t know when he threw away the paper stuck in his nose, and now he is Yushu Linfeng again.
I asked him in a low voice: "Don't you want to talk to my aunt and go together? What kind of delusion have you been feeding her now?"
With a smile on his lips, Ji Guanxin replied to me in a low voice: "We didn't talk to each other before, but now I like my aunt quite a lot. Older people are still hotter, so you have to listen to your aunt."
The stools were set up and the four of us sat around the table to eat. During the journey, the chickens in the cage outside the house were cooing. Ji Guanxin turned his head and glanced at it, and asked casually: "Where are the chickens?"
My mother said: "The chickens are in a cage in the outer room. It's cold and they are afraid of freezing to death if they are left outside."
Ji Guanxin said: "Then I'll ask people to come over and build a house later. I won't have any place to put the chickens."
My mother smiled and waved her hands: "No, no, your aunt and uncle usually live here, so there is no need to build a house."
I lowered my head to eat, thinking about building a house for the chickens. Ji Guanxin was the trench.
After eating, my mother still didn’t need us to clean up and let us go out for a walk. My aunt gave us a flashlight. It was a very primitive kind, big and silver. I remember that I only used it when I was four or five years old.
However, Ji Guanxin had never seen it before and thought it was novel, so he played with it himself.
After putting on my coat and going out, I realized why my aunt insisted on giving us a flashlight. Because there are no street lights in the countryside, it is pitch black when you step out. Every house is a small mud house, and the lights inside are rarely white, and are all dim.
Ji Guanxin held a flashlight and illuminated the road three meters ahead. The two of us stepped out of the yard, and he said aloud: "If you want to come out by yourself in the middle of the night, you probably won't dare."
I said, "If you want to go to the toilet, go there quickly. Don't expect to be able to go to the toilet at home in the middle of the night."
Ji Guanxin said: "The public toilet you took me to during the day?"
I nodded.
Ji Guanxin said with a grimace: "It's so dirty there, I almost vomited when I went in."
I said, "There's nothing you can do. If it doesn't work, just find a place where no one is around and I'll watch it for you."
After I finished speaking, I laughed out loud because I pictured Ji Guanxin squatting in a snow pit in my mind.
It took Ji Guanxin a long while to say: "Did you go to the toilet?"
I said, "What should I do if I can't go? Is it possible that I'm holding back?"
Ji Guanxin sighed and said: "Actually, the countryside is not as hard as I thought. It's just that going to the toilet is too strenuous. I really don't dare to think about it. Just thinking about it makes me... vomit."
Ji Guanxin rarely suffered any grievance in his life. I smiled and said: "No one comes out here at night. If it doesn't work, I will help you watch. You can find a place where no one is around to solve the problem. Everyone will feel at ease."
Ji Guanxin glanced at me, raised his eyebrows and said, "You didn't want to peek at me, so you kept holding back and asking me to go to the toilet outside, right?"
I raised my voice and said, "What do I want to see you for? Look at your butt?"
Ji Guanxin replied to me: "Why are you so loud? Are you afraid that others won't know that I need to use the toilet?"
I said, "Do you believe that I set off firecrackers and shouted at the same time to let everyone know?"
Ji Guanxin suddenly raised his hand and pushed my head, causing me to take a step back.
He said: "You fool, don't mess with me, or I'll beat you up!"
Without saying anything, I rushed forward and punched him wherever I caught him. Ji Guanxin held a flashlight in one hand and came over to grab my wrist with the other hand. I still had one hand free and patted his chest.
Ji Guanxin said repeatedly: "You are so cruel. Do you want to beat me to death and then use my money to keep a pretty boy?"
"I'll take care of your sister!"
"Do you know my sister? Do you need me to introduce her to you?"
I forgot that Ji Guanxin really has a sister, but whenever I mention his sister, I always think of Luo Xiangdong.
When I think of him, I suddenly feel unhappy.
I stopped attacking Ji Guanxin and stood next to him panting.
Ji Guanxin said: "Look at your small physique, you will be exhausted after just two times."
I said, "Hello? You got a nosebleed after being hit by me. You're so weak. Now don't call me Ji Guanxin. Call me Sister Ji."
Ji Guanxin smiled and said, "Then your name is Brother Liang?"
I glanced at him and said back to him: "Sister Lin died so tragically. You are in great shape and can't perform with charm, forget it."
Ji Guanxin also said: "I don't like Dream of Red Mansions. It's too sad. Let's just play Sun Wukong and Tang Monk."
I raised my eyebrows and said, "Where are they?"
Ji Guanxin smiled and said: "Sun Wukong can never escape from Tang Monk's grasp. As soon as I recite the tightening curse, you will have to come back to me sooner or later."
I made a 'cut' sound and stepped forward.
A long path that seems to have no end. I accompanied Ji Guanxin from the bright flashlight to the increasingly dim light.
On the way back, Ji Guanxin was still hesitating whether to go to the public toilet or find a corn field anywhere to solve the problem.
I suppressed my laughter and said to him: "Believe me, I don't want to go to the public restroom. There are plenty of empty fields here. You can just find a place and I'll watch for you outside. It'll be fine."
Ji Guanxin was really afraid of public toilets. After much hesitation, he still chose to listen to my advice.
I took him to a crop field full of empty rice stalks and shined a flashlight in. The visibility was quite low.
I said, "You go in, I'll wait for you outside."
Ji Guanxin said: "You must not leave."
I nodded: "Don't worry."
Ji Guanxin stepped inside and I helped him illuminate it. He turned around and said, "Don't take the photo, are you afraid that others won't see it?"
I removed the flashlight and retorted loudly: "My good intentions are like a donkey's heart, I'll scare you to death!"
A minute later, the phone I kept in my pocket rang. I took it out and saw that it was a very familiar number that I didn’t have saved.
I knew who the number belonged to, I was just wondering why it was called at this time.
After hesitating for a moment, I answered the call, but made no sound.
