Lotus immediately let go of the two of them. She looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry. I was so worried that I forgot you were carrying something on your back."
Ning Xiaoni put the snakeskin bag on the ground and then looked at the lotus carefully. Oh my god, is the change too big?
The skin is tender and soft, like tofu.
And this military uniform.
Fits well and looks good.
"Hehua, if you were walking on the street, I would definitely not recognize you." Ning Xiaoni was happy for Hehua from the bottom of her heart.
Wang Qingyu was stunned. His aunt had changed so much. Back in his hometown, he walked with his head down and spoke in a timid voice, as if his voice was stuck in his throat.
Now she has a student-style haircut that just covers her ears. She looks strong and energetic, like the Red Detachment of Women in the newspaper.
Life in the city is really good!
Seeing that the three had forgotten him, Li Tianming coughed softly and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Aunt, sister-in-law, I'm Li Tianming, and I'm Hehua's boyfriend. Thank you for taking the time to come visit us from afar."
After hearing the man's voice, Ning Xiaoni and Wang Qingyu looked at Li Tianming together.
Looking at the photo, the two thought that the gay looked average, but when they saw him in person, they just wanted to shout "Wow!" and they thought the photo had misled them.
I look much better in person than in the photos.
About 1.75 meters tall.
His figure is lean, but his exposed arms are full of strength.
With a buzz cut, he looks energetic and handsome.
"Okay, okay..." Ning Xiaoni didn't know what words to use to express her excitement except this word.
Li Tianming and Hehua came here on bicycles.
He and Hehua worked together to put the two snakeskin bags on the back seat and tied them up with ropes.
Li Tianming was carrying things.
Lotus carries people.
Ning Xiaoni sat on the back of the bicycle and Wang Qingyu sat in the front.
Lotus carried the two people and introduced each place they passed by to them.
The two were surprised to hear this. It was indeed a big city. The houses here were much taller than those in their hometown, and they also saw many small individual buildings...
To the amazement of the two, they finally arrived at the rental house.
He Hua opened the door: "Mom, sister-in-law, this is the house Xiaoyao and I rented. Aunt Li also lives here. She is taking care of the children in the staff quarters right now and will not come over until the evening."
The rented house is a red brick and tile house.
There is also a pressure well in the yard.
The floor is paved with cement.
Looks clean and comfortable.
Ning Xiaoni never thought that she would be able to live in a house like this for a few days in her lifetime. She smiled and said, "The city is still better. Not only are the houses clean, but I don't have to carry water to drink."
Wang Qingyu saw the difference between the city and the countryside, and he felt more and more that studying was useful: "Now that I can't take the college entrance examination, many people say that studying is useless. I think that whether you can take the college entrance examination or not, studying is useful."
Lotus is the most qualified person to say whether reading is useful or not: "Of course reading is useful. The more you read, the more words you will recognize, and you won't be cheated when you go out."
This reminded Ning Xiaoni and Wang Qingyu of getting off at the wrong station. It was so embarrassing that they were too embarrassed to talk about it!
Just because they didn't say anything didn't mean He Hua didn't ask: "Mom, sister-in-law, didn't the telegram say it would arrive at 3 pm? How come it's over an hour late?"
Ning Xiaoni felt embarrassed and stammered for a long time without saying a complete sentence.
He Hua didn't hear clearly and thought they had encountered human traffickers. She was so scared that her heart was pounding and her face gradually lost color: "Mom, sister-in-law, how did you escape from the hands of human traffickers?"
Ning Xiaoni saw that Hehua had misunderstood, so she was no longer afraid of embarrassment. She explained, "I didn't encounter any human traffickers. I got off at the wrong station."
The expression on Hehua's face was dull for a moment, then she smiled and said, "It's normal to get off at the wrong station when going out for the first time."
After a moment of awkwardness, Ning Xiaoni opened the two snakeskin bags and said, "I brought you some pickled vegetables, dried mushrooms, peanuts, and so on...divide them into three portions: one for you, one for Jiajia's family, and one for Tianming."
Li Tianming didn't expect that there would be a share for him, so he quickly refused: "Auntie, no, no."
Ning Xiaoni looked up at Li Tianming and asked a soul-searching question: "Do you think our country food is not presentable?"
This was a life-or-death question, and Li Tianming didn't dare to step on it. He shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm just embarrassed."
Ning Xiaoni took out his portion and stuffed it into his pocket: "They are all our own things, there is nothing to be embarrassed about!"
Li Tianming felt warm in his heart and his eyes were red. It felt so good to be remembered by the elders!
Ning Xiaoni was shocked when she saw his red eyes: "You, what's wrong with you? I didn't provoke you!"
Li Tianming burst into laughter and choked up, saying, "I lost my parents early, and my grandparents didn't care about me. It's been many years since an elder has thought about me this much. I'm very happy and touched. I really like this feeling."
Ning Xiaoni breathed a sigh of relief: "I will think of you in the future. Whatever Lotus has, you will have too."
As he spoke, he took out four pairs of cloth shoes from the snakeskin bag.
Two pairs are from Lotus and two pairs are from Li Tianming.
"Try it on and see if it fits?"
Li Tianming took the cloth shoes with trembling hands and put them on carefully. "They're not too big or too small, just right. Thank you, Mom!"
In the countryside, everyone is calling for their mother.
Li Tianming suddenly called out "Mom". Ning Xiaoni didn't respond for a moment. Hehua pushed her and she woke up as if from a dream. She laughed and said, "It's called mother in the countryside. This is the first time I've heard someone call me mom. It's quite fashionable."
Stayed in the rented house for a while.
Hehua took the two of them to the family compound.
Ning Xiaoni looked at the increasingly younger Old Lady Xu and exclaimed in surprise, "There's too much support in the city. The young ones are raised as city girls, and the old ones are raised as younger and younger ones.
