Chapter 289
Fortunately, Yuan Jing didn’t know what Jian Hui was thinking, otherwise he would be so jealous that he would drool.
However, Jian Hui's situation also made him anxious. Jian Hui's father married his current stepfather and had two sons and two brothers. He simply treated his stepson like a beast. There was no chance for Jian Hui to make a name for himself if he stayed in that family, so the only way was to leave that family and create a new world outside.
If he stayed in Yanjia Village, he would be dragged down to death by the Jian family sooner or later. His father didn't feel sorry for him, but Yuan Jing did.
Yuan Jing walked aimlessly while thinking that he had to make some plans for Jian Hui on how to make a living after leaving Yanjia Village. It was only 1983 and the era of poverty had just passed. Everything was thriving. As long as one seized the opportunity, even an illiterate could make a fortune. Moreover, he believed that Jian Hui, who carried the soul of his beloved in his shell, would not be able to live without poverty.
The first step is to persuade Jian Hui to leave that home.
Well, he would reason with Jian Hui and present the facts. If that didn't work, he would just go for it and seduce him. After all, after traveling through so many lives, his skin has become thicker than a city wall. Besides, that's his lover, how could that be called seduction?
After walking around the mountain, he encountered a rabbit that had hit its head against a tree stump and died. Yuan Jing picked it up, and passed by the river at the foot of the mountain, where he caught two big fish. Yuan Jing carried them back happily. With this psychic heart, he thought that no matter which world he went to, he would not starve.
Although there is abundant food in the space, I can eat it myself but I cannot get away with it in front of my family.
When they got home, Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu were so happy after hearing their brother tell them the origin of the rabbit and the fish that they couldn't stop smiling. As expected, their brother was a lucky man. He could pick up rabbits that had hit him to death while walking on the road, and he could see fish jumping onto the shore by themselves when passing by the river.
"It's just right. Your father cut two pounds of meat and stewed the rabbit meat. When you go back to school, we'll pack up the remaining meat and vegetables so you can have two meals at school." Yang Shu arranged. When they didn't have the conditions, the couple would rather save a little and give their son something good to eat. Now that they have the conditions, they will not treat their son badly. What's more, their son's body is weak to begin with, so he needs to eat better to make up for it.
"Dad, I'll listen to you. But you and father shouldn't be too frugal at home. Take good care of your health and wait to enjoy my blessing in the future." Yuan Jing said sweetly.
Yang Shu was really coaxed into submission, and he kept saying yes. He said that he and the child's father must live longer, so that those people in the village who looked down on him for not having a son could see how capable and filial his brother was.
After lunch, Yuan Jing took a book and wandered back to the foot of the mountain where he had met Jian Hui in the morning. He found a sheltered spot to read, hoping to run into Jian Hui again.
It happened that no matter what Jian Hui did that day, Yuan Jing's smiling face would appear in his mind. He almost burned his rice and was severely scolded by his father. Jian Hui knew that no matter how he defended himself, it would not end well, so he learned to listen to it all silently. Anyway, the scolding would stop by himself when he got tired.
But he was unwilling in his heart, especially the scene in the morning, which made his inner unwillingness become stronger. The gap between him and Jing Ge'er was too far, but he was unwilling to give up. Even if he just followed behind Jing Ge'er and watched his back, it would be good.
But in this family, his younger brothers looked down on him, his stepfather either ignored him or abused him, and whenever his younger brothers got into trouble, the blame would be put on him and he would be beaten without asking any questions. His biological father treated him like an animal, telling him that he would have died long ago if it weren't for his stepfather, and asked him to be grateful.
He didn't want to live like this anymore. If he continued like this, he would never have the chance to get close to Jing Ge'er. But what should he do? He was confused again.
After lunch and doing housework, he somehow left home and went to the back mountain. He met Jing Ge'er there in the morning, and maybe he would meet him again now.
Yuan Jing looked up when he heard the footsteps and immediately smiled. Jian Hui really came. Jian Hui was excited but stiff all over. He didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He really met Jing Ge'er again. When he saw Jing Ge'er's smile, his whole mind was confused.
There were no outsiders here, and Yuan Jing was not afraid that someone would see and gossip, so he waved to Jian Hui openly: "Brother Jian, what a coincidence, are you going up the mountain again?"
Jian Hui walked over with his hands and feet together. Compared with Jing Ge'er, he felt ashamed and stammered, "I, I'm just taking a walk."
Yuan Jing's voice was filled with soothing power: "What a coincidence, I just came out for a walk. I have to go back to school in the afternoon and won't be back until the weekend. Brother Jian, sit down and talk for a while. It's tiring to keep your head up like this."
"Okay." Jian Hui walked to Yuan Jing's side and carefully sat on a stone next to him. He felt extremely happy just sitting there.
In a blink of an eye, Yuan Jing took out another red apple and handed it to him: "I'll treat you to an apple. I have one too. Look." He took out another one and shook it in front of Jian Hui.
"Thank you, Brother Jing." Jian Hui thought for a while, then reached out to take the apple. Seeing Yuan Jing take a bite of the apple, he also took a careful bite. The sweet juice immediately made his heart melt. He wanted to overturn his conclusion in the morning. It was not the egg, but this apple that was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.
Yuan Jing said as he ate the apple, "It's delicious, isn't it? We can't grow such delicious apples here. These are shipped in from outside. My classmate's uncle drives a truck and has been to many places. Just listening to him talk about what's happening outside is eye-opening."
Yuan Jing did not directly encourage Jian Hui to run away from home. Instead, he used his classmates to constantly describe the situation outside to Jian Hui. Of course, there were good sides and bad sides. Gradually, scenes appeared in Jian Hui's mind, which aroused his yearning for the outside world. It turned out that life outside could be so good.
"Am I stupid? I can't do anything." Jian Hui asked.
Yuan Jing smiled: "No one is born knowing how to do things. They all learn by trial and error. Brother Jian is a good worker. I've heard uncles and aunts in the village mention him. If Brother Jian learns other things, he will definitely be able to get started quickly."
"Really?" Jian Hui said in surprise. He didn't expect that in Jing Ge'er's eyes he was not useless.
"Of course. Oh, time passed too quickly while I was talking to Brother Jian. I have to go back, or my father will come out to look for me. Brother Jian, see you next time."
"Okay, see you next time." Jian Hui watched Yuan Jing leave with a silly smile. He felt very reluctant to let him go, but he also knew that it would be even worse if Jing'er's father saw it.
After returning home, Yuan Jing packed his luggage and schoolbag. Yan Changjiang rode his 28-inch bicycle to take him to the town, and then they took a bus from the town to the county.
I had always had good grades. After graduating from the town's middle school, I was admitted to the county's No. 1 Middle School with excellent grades. However, I could not go home often. I only had one day off a week, Sunday. At that time, the two-day weekend system had not yet been implemented.
Yan Changjiang was worried, so he sent Yuan Jing to the No. 1 Middle School in the county. He also bought a lot of meal tickets for him so that his brother would not be reluctant to eat. Then he turned around and left, took a bus back to the town, picked up his bicycle that he had stored somewhere else, and rode home.
Yuan Jing had dinner with the meat and vegetables he brought from home. After dinner, he took his schoolbag and went to the classroom to study. He had to review all the subjects from beginning to end and could not take care of Jian Hui for the time being. However, he had already planted a seed, which he thought would sprout, take root and grow.
That night, Jian Hui was the last one to climb into bed again. His bed was placed in the utility room and was the most rudimentary in the house. However, he was actually happy that he didn't have to live with his younger brothers, as they had played pranks on him many times in the past, and even poured buckets of cold water into his quilt in the middle of winter.
Before going to bed, he was still thinking about what Jing Ge'er said in the afternoon, and his mouth was also savoring the sweet and delicious apple he had eaten in the afternoon, and he gradually fell asleep. The moonlight was very bright that night, and the moonlight shone on his face from the window. You can see that his eyeballs under his eyelids kept moving. I don't know what he dreamed about.
After a good night's dream, Jian Hui opened his eyes at dawn the next day. This time, there was no inferiority and timidity in his eyes, but they became deep. Sitting on the bed and recalling the scene in his dream, he rubbed his face hard and then laughed again.
"Jing'er, Yuan Jing, you recognized me, Jing'er," these three words made him read out a lingering feeling, "No wonder you came to me and said those words to me."
Jian Hui remembered that his lover was called Yuan Jing, and Yan Yuanjing was his lover. He remembered that he was a monk in his previous life, and his name was not Jian Hui but Funeng. Of course, he returned to secular life in the end. Otherwise, how could a monk be a Taoist couple with Yuan Jing and live in love for a lifetime?
Not only in the last life, but also in the life before that, his name was Qin Yao, and he was a star famous all over the world. Yuan Jing was his bodyguard, a bodyguard who came from a gangster background. Thinking of these past events, the smile in Jian Hui's eyes became even more intense.
He only remembered these two lives, but perhaps more than these two lives. No matter whether it was the life as a star or the life as a monk, it was obvious that Yuan Jing recognized him. Just like in this life, deep in Yuan Jing's eyes was love for him. How could he let down his lover's feelings?
His current situation is indeed extremely bad. If he does not leave this family, he and Jingger will encounter many obstacles in their attempt to be together, especially his family members, who will try their best to hinder Jingger's family. He does not want Jingger's father to have a bad impression of him.
Jing Ge'er is now in his third year of high school. In a year he will leave this county to go to another city to attend college, so he still has a year to prepare. He must use this year to catch up with Jing Ge'er no matter what. He can't let Jing Ge'er work hard alone.
As long as he makes some achievements, he believes that Jing'er's parents will definitely agree to let Jing'er marry him. Thinking that he can marry Jing'er openly in this life, Jian Hui grinned happily again. This world of men is actually quite good.
Although this world is made up of men, other aspects are similar to the modern history of his previous life, so the future direction will not change much. Jian Hui suddenly became full of energy.
Just as he was imagining his future and marrying Jing Ge'er to live a happy life, there was a bang on the door: "Are you courting death? Sleep, sleep, sleep, you haven't gotten up yet, how can you not be too lazy? Why don't you get up quickly to feed the pigs, cook, and wash clothes? Are you going to wait for me to serve you?"
Jian Hui's face immediately darkened. This was his biological father, but he didn't look like his biological father. He looked more like an enemy. Even his current body had been tortured terribly by this family. If he didn't take good care of himself, he wouldn't live long.
He will tolerate him for one more day. From now on, the life and death of the people in the Jian family will have nothing to do with him!
In his previous life, he practiced the art of Buddhahood, and in his previous life, he was a sharp-tongued star who didn't care about other people's opinions. In this life, he will not be held back by these so-called family members. He has no reluctance to leave this home at all.
Amid his father's scolding, Jian Hui began his day's working life. If this body was not used to such work, Jian Hui would have collapsed from exhaustion. He understood his father's psychology. He hated Jian Hui's father who abandoned his husband and son, so he regarded Jian Hui as a stain on himself and wished that this son had never been born. His presence would remind her all the time how she was abandoned and laughed at by others, so that she had to marry the man with the worst conditions.
So he vented all his resentment and hatred on Jian Hui.
Jian Hui also wanted to ask on behalf of the original person: Was he willing to be born by them?
On Monday, Jian Hui tried hard to make himself the same as before, but when he lay down on the bed at night, he felt sore all over. Fortunately, he didn't have to endure this day any longer. He added some good things to the dinner, which made sure that the whole family would sleep soundly. He wanted to add something else to make the whole family unable to wake up, but he held back. After all, he had practiced Buddhism for a lifetime in his previous life. If he really let these top-notch things take lives, it would not be good for both himself and Yuan Jing.
Not only for himself, but also for his lover, so Jian Hui just let the Jian family sleep deeper and longer. He himself fell asleep as soon as he fell on the bed. When it was dawn, his biological clock woke him up again. When he got up, he found that the family showed no signs of waking up. So Jian Hui made himself a hearty breakfast and boiled a dozen eggs. He opened the cupboard with the key hidden by his father. What in this house didn't he know?
After eating his fill, he took out a small tin box from the place where he hid his money. Inside was all of the Jian family's savings. Jian Hui didn't take much, only the half that belonged to him, then locked the door and left.
When the sun rose high in the sky, the Jian family members woke up from their deep sleep. They saw that the sun was shining brightly on their buttocks. The Jian couple hurriedly got up and ran out, wondering how they could have slept like that.
"Where is that damn boy Jian Hui? Why didn't he wake us up? Doesn't he know his brothers still have to go to school?" Jian's stepfather was so angry that he took a stick and looked for Jian Hui everywhere. He was determined to beat this bad boy up, but neither he nor Jian's father could find Jian Hui. The four children were hungry, and they didn't think anything about not waking up to go to school. Instead, they were very happy that they could skip school openly.
