Chapter 45 It's All Love
The summer breeze is a joy to behold. Occasionally, a short gust of wind blows, yet it's still hot. Blowing on my face, it's warm and slightly itchy.
But everyone loves summer nights.
The conversations and contacts that don’t usually happen are dormant and erupt on one summer night after another.
Children chased each other in the courtyard, their popsicles melting and dripping all over their hands. Not caring about the sweat and dirt on their palms, they licked the popsicle liquid directly with their mouths. The adults chatted, occasionally glancing at them. They would scold them or bring them over with handkerchiefs to wipe their hands, telling them to stand properly and finish their meal before playing.
But there is no time for children to stop. Before the adults finish scolding them, they run away again.
Xin Tianyi made a decision in this vibrant summer.
I came out just to say goodbye to my friends briefly.
Zhang Yang and Wei Ran were playing football, while Yuan Dabao was squatting not far from them eating with a bowl in his hand.
While eating, I saw Xin Tianyi walking towards me.
Yuan Dabao quickly shouted, "God's will!"
Xin Tianyi walked closer and saw Yuan Dabao eating noodles.
What he was holding was not an ordinary bowl, but a large bowl. When he lowered his head to eat, he could bury his entire face in it.
"Have you eaten?" Yuan Dabao's mouth was full.
"I ate it." Xin Tianyi said.
"My mom made cold noodles." Yuan Dabao blinked his eyes. "I love it the most."
He fished his face out of the bowl, and Xin Tianyi saw what was inside.
This is not noodles, it's vegetables.
You can see braised beef, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded cucumbers, and beans with sesame sauce...
Where are the noodles?
Xin Tianyi looked at Yuan Dabao and thought to himself, as expected, there was a reason why Yuan Dabao was fat.
Even if he doesn't eat so much, the love in the bowl is enough to make him fat.
"This is my second bowl." Yuan Dabao said, "Once I start eating the cold noodles my mom makes, I can't stop."
"Auntie really loves you." Xin Tianyi said enviously.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Dabao looked at Xin Tianyi.
"It's so hot, and you can't cook so many dishes just for noodles. Ask around the compound, and I guess no one except your mom would be willing to do it."
"Really?" Yuan Dabao laughed. "I eat like this every day and thought everyone else did the same."
"Haven't you finished eating yet?"
Zhang Yang ran over with the ball in his hand. He took a look and saw that Yuan Dabao's bowl was full again, so he asked, "You got another bowl?"
"Yeah." Yuan Dabao said, "And there's something else at home. Do you want to eat?"
"No." Zhang Yang said, "Are you still going to kick?"
"Kick," Yuan Dabao said, "but I have to finish eating first."
Xin Tianyi squatted beside Yuan Dabao, holding his chin with both hands, and looked up at Zhang Yang: "It just so happens that I want to tell you something."
Zhang Yang stepped on the football. Sweat had soaked his navy blue vest. His short flat head looked like it was filled with sweat balloons, with beads of sweat rolling on the ends of his hair.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yang looked at Xin Tianyi.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Wei Ran also ran over and asked, panting.
"I'm going out with my mother tomorrow." Xin Tianyi looked at everyone.
She had been a deserter, and had left her friends without saying goodbye. In this life, Xin Tianyi never wanted to be like this again.
"Where are we going?" Zhang Yang asked immediately.
"A city in the South."
"Will you..."
Before Zhang Yang could finish his words, Xin Tianyi said firmly, "No!"
Zhang Yang laughed.
Yuan Dabao and Wei Ran looked at each other, wondering what the two were talking about.
Yuan Dabao couldn't stand it anymore and snorted angrily: "What are you talking about? Sorry to bother you, there are four of us here, four! And two of us are idiots, we don't understand what you are talking about!"
"I'll be back in a few days." Xin Tianyi said, "I'm just going to accompany my mom to take a look around there. It's like sending her off. Then I'll be back and get ready for school to start."
"You mean you're going on a long trip?" Yuan Dabao concluded. "That's nothing. Zhang Yang looked so anxious. I thought you were going abroad."
"I'm here to tell you something. I'm afraid I won't be at home when you come looking for me. Anyway, when I come back, I will look for you as soon as possible." Xin Tianyi said.
"Where are you going? Are there any local specialties?" Yuan Dabao immediately said, "If you have anything delicious, remember to bring it back for us."
The next morning when Xin Tianyi left, it was still dark.
She followed Wang Fang out of the house and saw Li Zhiye's car parked in the yard.
Seeing the two people coming out, Li Zhiye hurried over and helped carry the luggage bags.
He was a man of few words, and his face turned red as soon as he spoke. He secretly glanced at Xin Tianyi's face, and seeing that she looked quite happy, he straightened his back slightly.
Wang Fang went there this time to marry Li Zhiye.
By the way, meet Li Zhiye’s family again.
Xin Tianyi naturally wanted to go with them. She wanted to see Wang Fang off and also take a look at the place where she had lived in her previous life.
It was a small southern town with a lake in it. The locals didn't call the lake a lake, they had their own name for it.
Xin Tianyi never learned how to pronounce that word.
It was also the first time for her to move from this plain city in the north to live in a place with mountains and rivers.
Li Zhiye started the car, and Wang Fang and Xin Tianyi sat in the back seat.
Just as the car was about to start, Wang Fang reminded Xin Tianyi: "Isn't that Zhang Yang?"
Xin Tianyi looked out the car window and saw Zhang Yang standing at the entrance of his alley, looking over here.
Xin Tianyi rolled down the car window and shouted, "Wait for me to come back!"
Zhang Yang nodded and waved to her from a distance.
Wang Fang asked, "Is it because of them that you won't go with me?"
Xin Tianyi waved to Zhang Yang again. When the car was about to drive out of the living area, Xin Tianyi saw Yuan Dabao and Wei Ran.
The two came out late. They must have heard Xin Tianyi's shouting and immediately ran out of the house.
Three people stood in different directions and waved vigorously at the taillights of the car.
Xin Tianyi seemed to be hallucinating.
She seemed to hear Yuan Dabao calling her to bring back some delicious food.
She heard Wei Ran shouting at her to take good care of herself.
I heard Zhang Yang repeatedly ask her, you will definitely come back, right?
yes.
yes.
yes.
"Yes!" Xin Tianyi suddenly said.
Wang Fang frowned, thinking he was answering her question, "How long have you known them, kid? Just because of them, you don't want your mother anymore?"
"Not just them." Xin Tianyi said, "There are also grandma and grandpa, uncle and aunt, and brother."
Wang Fang didn't understand: "They are better than mom?"
"That's not it." Xin Tianyi looked at Wang Fang with a smile: "Mom, you should have your own life. I'm growing up. After graduating from high school, I'm going to go to college and then have my own life. While you're still young, you and uncle should live a good life in the next few years. I'll go see you when I miss you. And you'll come see me when you miss me. Isn't that good?"
Wang Fang didn't look at Xin Tianyi, but turned to look out the window.
The sky suddenly lit up.
