After Rebirth, I and Idol Have HE [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 132
When it rained, it would come down. Before going to bed at night, I could vaguely see a few stars. When I slept in the middle of the night, Xu Xiaodi suddenly woke up. He heard the sound of rain falling outside the window, and there were people panting and hooting.
Xu Xiaodi turned on the light and tensed her voice and shouted, “Who?!”
Gu Xingxing’s immature voice came out slightly tired, “Sister, it’s me, did I wake you up?”
An Rong put on his clothes and hurriedly opened the door while dragging his shoes. There was a small figure in a corner of the yard, drenched in the rain, with a small flashlight in his mouth and a piece of plastic sheet in his hands.
Xu Xiaodi didn’t put on her shoes either, and rushed over with a button of the hat on her coat.
The rain was so heavy, there was already water in the yard, and I jumped down, and half of my pants were wetted by the splash of rain.
“what are you doing?”
Gu Xingxing whimpered twice, holding a flashlight in one hand, and wiping the rain off his face, and said, “You must cover the firewood, so you can’t get wet.”
Her voice was not loud, half covered by the sound of rain, as if she was afraid of waking up the rest of the family.
Xu Xiaodi’s eyes were sore, he took the plastic sheet in Gu Xingxing’s hand, and found that there were also several holes in the plastic sheet, and some places were stuck with tape, which still looked a little complete.
Xu Xiaodi silently put the plastic sheet on the pile of firewood.
Gu Xingxing seemed to be apologetic. She was embarrassed for disturbing Xu Xiaodi’s sleep. She looked around for topics and wanted to say something.
The plastic sheet was folded and folded, barely covering more than half of it, and pressing the wood on it firmly, Xu Xiaodi turned around and hugged Gu Xingxing and ran back into the room.
The two of them were soaked, and Gu Xingxing shivered, shaking uncontrollably.
“Thank you, go to sleep.” Gu Xingxing took a step back, turned off the flashlight, looked at the clothes dripping, and squeezed out a smile at Xu Xiaodi.
“Don’t move first.” Xu Xiaodi put a bath towel on her head and gently wiped her hair.
The soft and dry towels are scented, making the little girl who was carrying a family at a young age stand in situ, reluctantly dodge, as if afraid that she would stain her things.
Xu Xiaodi wiped her hair, face and neck forcibly, and the bath towel was so big that it could almost wrap the little girl.
“I didn’t bring a hair dryer, so I had to wipe it off, put on my clothes and go to bed, don’t catch a cold.”
Gu Xingxing gave a hum, moved her mouth, and turned her head away.
Xu Xiaodi paused slightly, her immature shoulders under her hands seemed to be shaking, although they were suppressed hard.
Xu Xiaodi looked at it, and Gu Xingxing pushed her hand away, quickly wiped a hand on her face, and lowered her head and said, “I’m going to sleep.”
She ran so fast, she broke free from Xu Xiaodi’s hands in an instant, and the choking was pressed by her in her throat, and it was fleeting.
Xu Xiaodi squatted on the spot in amazement.
The rain did not stop all night. In the daytime, the rain did not diminish. Aunt Qiuxiang’s corn was still confiscated, but she seemed to be afraid that An Rong would follow along. She was afraid that some accident might affect the big star. I won’t go to the broken jar by myself.
An Rong could see that she wanted to go. She stood at the door and looked at the sky from time to time, looking up at the sky and the thick dark clouds in the distance, her expression anxious, but as soon as she turned around and saw An Rong, she immediately relaxed gently.
“It’s rare to rain, so I won’t do it anymore. I wait until my dad comes back in the winter. If it doesn’t work, I will leave it as a dry land and plant something else next year.”
She rubbed her fingers, one foot was tilted, the old clothes were washed and deformed, the sweater neckline was loose, revealing the round collar of the autumn clothes inside, her figure was a bit strong, half of her body was leaning out, and it became more bloated.
“It’s even harder to harvest in winter. When it snows, the road is hard to walk.” An Rong looked at the sky outside, and didn’t mean to stop the rain for a while.
Qiu Xiang turned her head and looked at An Rong curiously and said, “Do you know this too? I think you are still a little baby, and your family also grows this?”
“I don’t grow in my home. I used to grow it in my hometown. I lived there for a few years.” An Rong moved her a low chair at the door, and the two sat in the door chatting.
The children in the room ran around, put on rubber shoes and said they were going to find Brother Yuanzi to play, but Qiuxiang stopped him.
There is no elementary school in their village, and there are not many people in these ten li eight villages. The elementary schools are concentrated in Jiagou Village, which has a slightly larger population and a better terrain. When it rains, the school will be closed for fear of accidents on the way for the children.
“how old are you?”
An Rong replied: “Seventeen.”
Qiuxiang stared at her immediately, and slowly shook her head: “Is only seventeen? She is as old as my eldest daughter. My eldest daughter is only in high school. She is only a freshman this year. She is also sensible and obedient. She lives in school. Come back, why don’t you go to school?”
She didn’t seem to have thought, why didn’t the seventeen-year-old girl go to school to become a star?
An Rong shook his head and said, “Going to school, I am a freshman this year, and now I am working ahead of schedule, special circumstances.”
“It’s terrific.” The woman admired again and again, as if she had narrowed a lot of distance for a while, and said, “We don’t go to school in a fashionable way here. When we go to elementary school, we are long and long who can read characters, so we won’t go to middle school Now, I can’t do it. Hey, I have to ask all my children to go to college. It’s great to go to college. Even though they are all part-time workers, going to college is not the same. It’s easy to find a job and find a partner. Change The destiny of a lifetime, you don’t know how many people secretly say that I am insecure, and how much money I can earn by asking my daughters to come back and go out to work…”
An Rong sat and listened, nodding from time to time.
Qiuxiang is a woman with a very strong personality. She relies on her courage to give her all the hope of life to a few children. She has suffered a lot by herself, and feels that she can’t let her children follow her own old path, so she insists on forcing her. With her husband working outside to save money, in order not to bow her head to anyone, she took the three children at home alone and did nothing less. After all these years, she succeeded in sending her eldest daughter to study. High school.
Being able to accept this program’s activities is not only the program group’s money, she also thinks that the stars in the big city will come and live in her own home, so that her daughter and son will come back to see, learn, and meet the world.
She gave everything she could give, but she felt it was not enough, but she was helpless.
As a perfect listener, An Rong only echoed in a low voice.
The woman’s tired body and tight nerves gradually relaxed in the continuous autumn rain. The two looked outside quietly. After a while, An Rong heard a snoring sound, like a train whistle, breathing and breathing rhythmically. .
More than a hundred kilograms of collapsed body curled up in a small chair, his neck squeezed on his shoulders and the back of the short chair, sleeping soundly and exhaustedly.
An Rong called her, and the woman’s snoring stopped abruptly, and she opened her shriveled eyelids with all her strength, and she pushed her body up, her voice seemed weak, “Am I asleep?”
An Rong gave a hum, and said, “Go back to sleep under a quilt. It’s easy to catch a cold.”
She vigorously activated all the muscles on her face, without agreeing, shook her head and said, “What do you want to eat at noon?”
An Rong nudged her and said, “I will cook at noon. Go to sleep.”
“Then how can it be? I didn’t let you cook at home. How can I make you a little girl cook at home?”
An Rong gave a hand and smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s early now. It’s not time to cook. You should go to sleep first. I will take Xiaolong to Gu Yuan’s house.”
The woman seemed to be persuaded, but she still hesitated.
Suddenly there was a sound at the door, An Rong turned his head and saw Xu Xiaodi holding a flower umbrella coming in.
Followed by the filming director.
“You don’t need to go, your friend is here.” Qiuxiang has already woke up and said with a smile: “I’ll get you some food.”
Xu Xiaodi kicked muddy water, embarrassed to enter the house, and rubbed under the eaves outside the door for a while, just like a cat throwing water.
An Rong stood in the door, leaning against the door frame, and poking his head out to look at her, “Why are you here?”
Xu Xiaodi leaned the umbrella in his hand on the ground, frowning and said, “The firewood in Xingxing’s family is all wet. When the house where her family used firewood was renovated, the remaining materials were installed, and I didn’t see enough. , I must not be able to go there in winter. In the past two days I went to pick up firewood and found that the road was not easy to walk in rainy or snowy days, so I wanted to ask my aunt, where did I buy coal here?”
She thought about it seriously, she still has some money in her hands, although she doesn’t know how much it will cost to buy a year of coal.
“You want to buy coal?”
Qiuxiang stood at the door holding a small bamboo basket containing her own fried salted corn, looking at Xu Xiaodi suspiciously.
Xu Xiaodi replied, “Do you know where to sell it?”
Qiuxiang hesitated for a moment, and handed the bamboo basket to An Rong and Xu Xiaodi to eat, and shook his head and said, “Then I don’t know, our family’s firewood.”
An Rong’s expression stagnated, and his eyes frowned slightly.
Qiuxiang warmly greeted Xu Xiaodi to enter the house to eat something.
Xu Xiaodi complained with a frown, “I asked several stores, but I don’t know where to buy it. Do we have to find this by ourselves? We don’t have enough time. Seven days have passed halfway.”
“This matter… don’t worry.” An Rong patted Xu Xiaodi’s hand and changed the subject, “It’s raining now, so we can’t go.”
The hand was lightly squeezed, and Xu Xiaodi moved in her heart. He looked at An Rong carefully, but saw that An Rong looked normal. He grabbed a handful of corn and ate it, leisurely like a little fool of the landlord’s house.
Xu Xiaodi didn’t know why, but still tacitly cooperated with An Rong not mentioning the matter of buying coal, as if it was just a whim, let it go.
Qiu Xiang took an umbrella and asked Gu Xiaolong to do her homework well at home, so she went out to have something to do.
Walking into the hall, An Rong didn’t even ask, she smiled and said, “You two talked, I also went out to find someone to play.”
As soon as her front foot walked away, Xu Xiaodi immediately looked at An Rong suspiciously.
Without mentioning coal, An Rong patted the corn husks and powder on his hands, and asked, “Have you asked how much Gu Xingxing has?”
Xu Xiaodi pursed her lips. She started to buy coal, and thought of what An Rong said yesterday, so she asked.
“Fourteen yuan and five.” Xu Xiaodi’s voice was dull. “It is the surplus of all the expenses in the family, which has been saved a month and a month. Her parents have already paid money this month, but no one in the village will go. Haven’t taken it yet.”
It was fourteen yuan and five. Xu Xiaodi didn’t believe it until she saw the gross bills and coins. Nothing on her was the same.
“I heard Gu Xingxing say that there is a rally in Jiagou Village on the day after tomorrow. Many local vendors will concentrate on selling things there. She wants to buy cotton socks for her grandma, and Gu Yuan has to buy a pair of shoes. The money may not be enough. When the time comes, I will sell the herbs at home.”
Obviously only a few days drive away from her home, shrouded in the same blue sky, enjoying the same sun and moon, but here is like another world, and Xu Xiaodi feels depressed.
What made her even more boring was that An Rong naturally blended into the rhythm of life and everything here without any barriers.
In the past, she didn’t understand why An Rong could like a person so humble; she didn’t understand An Rong’s sensible and silent and introverted most of the time; she didn’t understand her stubborn persistence.
Last night, she suddenly understood.
