Chapter 47 Stubbornness...
Before Miya could even sit down, a barrage of congratulations overwhelmed her.
"Miya, your performance just now was so good, it was impossible to take my eyes off you."
"Sister Miya, you're amazing! So beautiful!"
“You were like a completely different person the moment you stepped on stage. We were just telling the people next to us that the actors on stage are our good friends.”
...
The blush that Miya had managed to suppress welled up again, and she waved her hands repeatedly, embarrassed. "No, no. My mind went completely blank when I went on stage, and I still feel a little flustered thinking about it now."
Cui Dani grasped Miya's hand tightly and affirmed, "You performed very well; you didn't seem nervous at all."
“That’s right, that’s right!” The older child nodded quickly.
Many people in the residential compound already knew Miya, and this performance further increased her popularity.
Especially after learning that Miya was of marriageable age and single, they were all quite tempted.
The performance was relatively short, lasting only three hours, and everyone left feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
The storylines written by Miya resonate with viewers, making them feel as if they've encountered similar people in their own lives, and viewers can't help but evoke genuine emotions while watching.
Seeing the protagonist, Lai'er, sold as a child bride and married to a man who hadn't even been born yet, I felt a pang of sorrow for her tragic fate; seeing Lai'er suffer torment at the hands of her in-laws, I watched as they gritted their teeth and cursed the ugly faces of her entire family; seeing Lai'er rescued by the People's Liberation Army, I was moved to tears…
Miya could feel everyone's love for the show, and the smile on her face lingered for a long time.
After spending so much time in the square, everyone was hungry.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity for rest and leisure, many families decided to eat at the cafeteria, and Cui Dani and her daughter Miya were no exception.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned home. Before they even entered the house, they noticed the lingering smoke from their chimney on the roof.
The next second, the mother and daughter looked at each other and exclaimed in unison:
"Third Brother/Third Brother is back!"
If you do the math, it's been almost two months since the two of them last saw Ren Qingsong.
The two excitedly pushed open the door, and there stood Ren Qingsong, who was repairing the broken farm tools in his house.
Hearing the noise, Ren Qingsong looked up at the person at the door. His usually cold and hard lips curled up slightly, almost unnoticeable unless you looked closely.
"Mother, Miya, you're back. Have you eaten? I've cooked it and it's in the pot."
Upon hearing this, Cui Dani couldn't bring herself to say anything, no matter how many concerns she had, and could only give the order gently.
"What were you fixing when you got home? Go back to sleep. Miya and I are at home."
After saying that, she snatched the tools from her son's hand and pushed him upstairs to his room.
Ren Qingsong shook his head helplessly and followed his mother's instructions to go back to his room to rest.
As soon as he fell asleep, Cui Dani and her daughter Miya immediately got busy.
"Oh dear! I had no idea San'er was coming back today, so I didn't buy any meat or vegetables."
"Mother, why don't we kill the chickens we raise at home? The supply and marketing cooperative is definitely out of meat."
“You’re right! Besides killing the chicken, let’s soak two of the dried rabbits we had before, and make a bowl of scrambled eggs. It’ll be perfect to celebrate the official performance of the script you wrote and San’er coming home.”
The two split up and took out almost all the dried products and vegetables stored in the house.
Ren Qingsong lay on his bed at home and fell into a deep sleep without realizing it. When he woke up again, he was awakened by the fragrance lingering around his nose.
He quickly got up, opened the window, and looked at Miya, who was busy at the stove downstairs. A warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Ren Qingsong quickly went downstairs to help.
The two of them took turns tending the fire and stirring the food; one added the ingredients and the other tasted them.
Cui Dani walked out from the backyard and saw that the two had not seen each other for many days, yet there was no distance or estrangement between them. She couldn't help but glare fiercely at her third son, who looked like a fool.
Ren Qingsong felt a cold light flash behind him. When he turned around, he saw his mother holding eggs.
"Mother, let me do it."
"Here you go!" At this moment, Cui Dani did not comfort her son who had finally returned home; her heart and eyes were filled with frustration at her son's lack of understanding.
Soon, the three of them sat down at the table, ready to start eating dinner.
Only then did Cui Dani have the mind to care about her son, "You've been on a mission for so long, are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Miya frowned and looked at Ren Qingsong with concern.
Ren Qingsong looked relaxed, quickly turned his arms, stood up and lifted his feet, "Mom, don't worry, everything's fine."
"That's good. Sit down and eat. I bet you haven't had time to eat while you're on a mission. You've gotten so thin from hunger."
As she spoke, Cui Dani placed a chicken leg directly into Ren Qingsong's bowl, and the other one was naturally a Miya chicken leg.
The family of three enjoyed a warm and happy dinner together.
As soon as dinner was over, Cui Dani immediately pulled her son aside and pressed him for an answer: "What are you thinking right now?"
"What do you mean, what are you thinking?"
Cui Dani angrily poked his forehead with her finger, staring at Ren Qingsong with a look that seemed to see right through her.
"Hmph! Don't even mention that you treat Miya like a sister. If Miya's biological parents saw this, they would probably spit on you."
“Mother, I…” Ren Qingsong’s face showed embarrassment and helplessness at being exposed.
He had never understood his own feelings before, always thinking that his feelings for Miya were just those of a younger sister, and he didn't know when those feelings had changed.
His mother's sudden revelation caught him completely off guard, and he instinctively stammered, "No..."
"snort!"
Who is Cui Dani? She's the village's intelligence tyrant and has helped many young men find partners. She can't even tell what her son looks like.
Just keep being stubborn!
In an instant, Cui Dani didn't want to care about anything anymore. Her children and grandchildren had their own destinies, and there was no point in her saying anything more.
He then turned and left, leaving Ren Qingsong with only a dashing silhouette.
The next day, Miya woke up and had no idea that anything had happened between the mother and son.
A while ago, Miya and her mother harvested all the ramie they found by the river and brought it home. After peeling the ramie and spinning it, they have now reached the most crucial step of weaving.
It just so happened that Ren Qingsong was home, so I asked him to help carry the loom downstairs to a place with better lighting.
Looking at the clean and tidy loom and Miya preparing to string threads onto it, Ren Qingsong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miya, when did you learn this skill?"
"I read it in a book." Miya's words were half true and half false.
She did learn how to use the loom from a book, but part of it was learned from her previous life.
After hearing this, Ren Qingsong couldn't help but admire Miya's intelligence once again. If conditions were better back home, she would probably be a college student now.
