Chapter 37
37.
Yi Hanxing wanted to run away. In addition to hiding it from Cather Wu, she also wanted to report it to Tian Guangqian. By the way, she also wanted Tian Guangqian to tell Cather Wu after she left that he would give her a new chapter after she came back during the summer vacation.
"There are tens of thousands of editors in the world who are always asking for manuscripts. Look at me, your brother. I remain unmoved every time I'm asked. But you, on the other hand, are so scared by Miss Wu that you want to run away." Tian Guangqian started to laugh at Yi Hanxing when he heard this.
"I'm not running away because of the urgent manuscript! I have been studying abroad for so long and I want to go back to visit my family!" Yi Hanxing said righteously.
"Come on, I don't know you yet." Tian Guangqian said, "Stop pretending."
"How is this pretending?!" Yi Hanxing immediately retorted: "My fear of Miss Wu urging me to submit the manuscript is that at most I asked you to wait for me to leave and send her a letter. Otherwise, I would have gone home too. I would just tell her in person."
"So you're still scared." Tian Guangqian laughed wildly.
Yi Hanxing looked at Tian Guangqian and narrowed his eyes: "Brother, I'm going to visit my parents, my older brother, and my younger sister. As their son and younger brother, shouldn't you also show some filial piety? Hurry up and pack some gifts for me to take over."
Tian Guangqian's laughter stopped abruptly.
Yi Hanxing: I knew you were such a stingy person and only knew how to spend money!
Tian Guangqian wiped his face and said, "You are right. Forget about big brother and second sister. Just take some snacks. But I really need to bring some gifts back to my parents."
"What do you mean by forget about Big Brother and Second Sister?" Yi Hanxing said, "Aren't you afraid that Big Brother and Second Sister and I will complain?"
"I'm so scared!" Tian Guangqian said without showing any fear: "Go back and complain."
Yi Hanxing knew that Tian Guangzong (Yi Hongxing), Tian Xiude (second sister) and Tian Guangqian were the result of their parents having two children every three years and three children every five years. The age difference between the three was very small. Tian Guangqian and Yi Hongxing were only about three years apart. On the contrary, after giving birth to Tian Guangqian, perhaps because Hanxing's mother was too tired to give birth so soon and to take care of the child, she waited for more than ten years and gave birth to Yi Hanxing when she was thirty. According to this era, Yi Hanxing was considered a child born to his parents in middle age.
This is also why Yi Hanxing has always been considered a rebellious daughter (the idea of Hanxing's father and mother), but she grew up to be a lively and energetic teenager and ran away with her brother, mainly because she was born in middle age.
The younger son and the older grandson will always be favored more, especially since Han Xing's parents never had an older grandson. So when Han Xing always ran in circles in the yard when she was a child, Han Xing's father would get angry and scold her every time, but he also didn't lock her in the embroidery building and not let her go downstairs.
It would have been fine if he had run away from home and not returned, but now that he has returned home and "put aside the past grudges", it would be unreasonable for Yi Hanxing not to go back during the summer vacation.
"Are you going home directly? I want to see what gifts you have prepared." Tian Guangqian said, after all,
Some snacks don't last long.
"I will first go to live with my parents for half a month, then stay with my eldest brother for a month, and then go to my sister's house for half a month. If I have time, I will go to see my parents again before I leave." Yi Hanxing's arrangements were very clear.
"Okay, then I'll go find Zhifeng to help prepare some gifts and give them to my parents." Tian Guangqian said as he stood up and prepared to go find He Zhifeng.
Yi Hanxing: My pupils tremble! In this day and age, supporting a gigolo and living off him is like helping him prepare gifts for his parents?
He Zhifeng didn't care about the family gifts that Tian Guangqian mentioned. In He Zhifeng's view, this amount of money was just a small amount. Moreover, Tian Guangqian's performance as a "boyfriend" made He Zhifeng particularly satisfied. In He Zhifeng's view, this gift was just an award for outstanding employee.
Yi Hanxing packed up quickly, said goodbye to his friends and planned to go home directly.
"Be careful on the road," Tian Guangqian warned.
"Don't worry, it's just over half a day's journey, and you sent someone to take me there. What could be a problem?" Yi Hanxing said.
"Okay, you go back." Tian Guangqian said.
"You really won't go back with me?" Yi Hanxing asked.
"I've been kicked out of the house. Going back will only make the old man angry. There's no need." Tian Guangqian said, waving to Yi Hanxing: "Have a nice trip."
Yi Hanxing returned home with his luggage and gifts for his family in large and small bags. As he entered the village on a donkey cart, he saw the villagers looking at him with shining eyes.
"Han Xing, are you going home alone?" asked an old lady from the village.
"Well, the person my brother sent to pick me up will go back today." Yi Hanxing said.
"Since the summer vacation is so long, will your classmates come to play with you?" asked the old lady.
"The summer vacation has just started, and they didn't tell us!" Yi Hanxing finally understood what it meant to bring disaster upon oneself, and quickly tried to get away with it.
"That's right, that's right." The old lady said, and did not forget to whisper to Yi Hanxing: "If they come, you must be the first to notify my family."
"Don't worry." Yi Hanxing nodded quickly to assure him, thinking that they would not come.
After passing five levels and defeating six generals, Yi Hanxing finally arrived home and sat down.
"I'm so tired." Yi Hanxing wished he could have a sofa to lie down on.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Children's words are blown away by the wind!" Han Xing's mother said hurriedly.
Seeing his daughter's eye-catching look, Han Xing's father couldn't help but scold her, "Pay attention to your posture when sitting! You're a grown woman, how can you act like that?! I don't believe that all modern women sit like you."
In eighty or ninety years, the modern woman will sit like this. Yi Hanxing thought to herself, adjusted her posture, and sat up straight.
"After you left, I thought
"I've come over here. You said your classmates admire you, but that was fake, right?" Han Xing's father asked with a sneer.
"Why, Dad?" Yi Hanxing answered confidently, "If a man doesn't admire a woman, why would he go to her house to visit her?"
"Heh! You're just bullying your dad because we don't know what's going on outside." Han Xing's dad said, "This kind of visit outside is normal. Just ordinary friends are fine. There's no need for a relationship."
"What you said is true. Go and ask around. No matter who you ask about this situation, no one will think that it has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women." Yi Hanxing still knew the social customs of this era. Open-minded people are indeed extremely open-minded, but that is only a small group of people in big cities. In most other places, the customs are still very conservative. So Yi Hanxing guessed that his father was deceiving him and refused to give in.
Han Xing's father was indeed deceiving Han Xing. Seeing Yi Han Xing's performance, he was a little skeptical: I can't say that they all like her, but there must be one or two who like Han Xing, right? Otherwise, who would think of visiting a girl's house when boys are together?
After fooling his biological father, Yi Hanxing began to give gifts to his parents.
"This is Dad's watch, and this is Mom's perfume." Yi Hanxing took out the gifts prepared by Tian Guangqian.
"Ouch!" Han Xingniang exclaimed as soon as she saw it. "Doesn't a watch cost at least over a hundred silver dollars? And this perfume, the clan leader's wife had a small bottle before, and she said it would cost over thirty silver dollars. You got a set of six bottles here. Although they are smaller than the clan leader's wife's bottle, they should still cost over twenty dollars each, right?"
"About the same." Yi Hanxing said, "This watch and perfume should be around 150 yuan each."
"Why is it so expensive? Have you become rich?" Han Xing's father said with a stern face, "You spend money recklessly!"
"Where did you get so much money?" Han Xing's mother was also puzzled: "Did your eldest brother give you so much money?"
"This is a gift prepared by my third brother, not me." Yi Hanxing added silently in his heart. To be precise, it was prepared by his third brother's financial sponsor.
"That brat prepared it? I don't want it!" Han Xing's father immediately said with a stern face: "When did you get involved with him?"
"Did you see Guangqian?" Han Xingniang also hurriedly asked: "Isn't he in Hong Kong? How did you see him?"
"He came to Shanghai to attend a friend's wedding," Yi Hanxing said.
"So he has returned to Hong Kong now?" Han Xingniang asked.
"No, he has been staying in Shanghai for two or three months." Yi Hanxing replied.
"Then why doesn't he come back to visit?!" Han Xing's mother complained.
"Maybe he's afraid of being forced into the bridal chamber after he comes back?" Yi Hanxing said jokingly.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Just after he finished talking nonsense, he was slapped on the back of his head by his father.
Yi Hanxing quickly protected her little head and complained to her father: "Dad, how could you hit me on the head? What if my clever little head gets hit and becomes dumb?"
"It's good to be stupid, because there aren't so many tricks." Han Xing's father sneered and couldn't help complaining: "Why did I give birth to a bunch of rebellious children like you?! You are all rebellious sons and daughters!"
Han Xing thought, "This is just the beginning! If you knew your son and daughter had gone off to join the Workers' and Peasants' Party to make revolution, you'd probably be either pissed off or scared to death, right?"
"Having my second sister as your sweet and caring little sister isn't enough for you?" Yi Hanxing asked, "Do you still want the watch your unfilial son gave you?"
"Yes! Of course I want him to pay me back for all the money I've spent over the years!" Han Xing's father said with his neck stiff.
Yi Hanxing had no choice but to start his chaotic life at home.
A week later.
"I can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand it anymore." Yi Hanxing muttered: "I just know that my salary will drop sharply when I go home during the holidays, but isn't this decline curve too outrageous?"
Seeing Han Xing's father, who has evolved from finding fault with everything to snorting coldly when meeting someone,
Han Xing looks forward to it every day: When will big brother come home to pick me up and take me to the base!
Yi Hongxing returned home to visit his family again, as Yi Hanxing was eagerly waiting.
"What's wrong with you? You look like a cabbage hit by frost." Yi Hongxing asked with amusement when he saw Yi Hanxing's expression.
"Brother, are you here to pick me up? Come home and stay for a few days! Are we leaving in two days?" Seeing Yi Hongxing suddenly appear, Yi Hanxing immediately greeted him excitedly.
"Nonsense!" Han Xing's father scolded him from the side: "You are still thinking about going out to play with your brother? Of course you should stay home and study hard during the summer vacation!"
Yi Hanxing's face turned green when she thought about the embroidery and sewing homework.
However, no matter how Yi Hanxing and Yi Hongxing tried to persuade Hanxing's parents, they just wouldn't agree. When Yi Hongxing was thinking about letting his sister run away with him again, Yi Hanxing, in order to get rid of the problem as soon as possible, decided on the person to be sacrificed: "Dad, Mom, do you want to go to Shanghai to take a look? I forgot to mention that third brother seems to have found a rich girl who is three years older than him. Your watches and perfumes were bought by Sister He! When I was in Shanghai, I lived with third brother at Sister He's house. Her parents, aunt, sisters, and brother are all very kind! Dad, why don't you go and take care of third brother? Mom, why don't you go and see your future daughter-in-law?"
I'm sorry, Third Brother Yi Hanxing thought, but maybe after they go to Shanghai, they will start to agree with your ideas, Third Brother?
After all, there were countless young men in Shanghai who first despised Tian Guangqian but then hoped to replace him! Maybe his parents would really fall for him?! Han Xing thought: Probability is hard to predict!
