Chapter 199: Tormenting Journey
Chapter 200: Tormenting Journey
"I'll take you to the outskirts of the village. I have something to tell you..." Accompanied by cheerful music, the car quickly entered the highway.
In the past two years, with the economic development, a new highway was built leading to Jingtan County, which is flat and wide. Fang Deli drove his newly bought car steadily, happily turned on the car music, and from time to time turned his head to look at his fiancée sitting next to him, with a smile on his face.
Fang Qing was sitting in the back seat, leaning his arm on the window, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road. He was listening attentively when Tracy in front of him started to sound disgusted.
"Hey, what song are you listening to? It's so bad..."
Tracy rolled her eyes at Fang Deli with disdain, reached out and turned the radio, which soon changed to an Italian opera.
Fang Qing didn't have any requirements on what songs he listened to, but Fang Deli, who was driving in front, gradually couldn't stand it anymore and his eyelids began to feel heavy after a while.
"Baby, can we change the song? This song makes me really sleepy!"
But Tracy ignored Fang Deli's complaints and blew on her bright red nails in the sunlight.
"What do you know? This is classical music. You are no longer the same as before. Don't always listen to those earthy and vulgar things. You need to be exposed to more high-level things to improve your level and cultivate your sentiments..."
Fang Deli yawned. He didn't dare to refute his baby. He could only pat his old face hard to cheer himself up and continue to endure the sheep-like singing.
Fang Qing noticed that his uncle was tired and took out a small bottle from his pocket. "Uncle, I have some Fengyoujing here. You can put some in it and it will refresh you quickly."
Fang Deli nodded. If there was anyone who understood him, it was his niece. "Oh, that's good, that's good. Please help me point it out..."
But the smell of the Fengyoujing was a bit pungent. Fang Qing just unscrewed the lid and touched the old man's temple, and Tracy next to him covered her mouth and nose in disgust.
"Ouch, what's that smell? Why is it so bad? Put it away quickly, it's choking me to death..."
As he spoke, he rolled down the car window to get some fresh air. The cold wind blew into the car, causing Fang Qing, who was only wearing a sweater, to sneeze immediately.
Fang Deli was worried that his wife and niece would catch a cold, so he quickly controlled the window and closed it. "Baby, don't catch a cold. Close it. I won't light it anymore."
But Tracy was still not satisfied. She muttered as she took out a bottle of high-end perfume from her exquisite shoulder bag and sprayed it several times at Fang Deli and Xiangfang.
The strong aroma rushed into his nose, making him dizzy and nauseous. Fang Qing sat back in his chair immediately.
Fang Deli was also startled. He raised his hand to cover half of his face, then quickly took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and wiped the perfume off his face.
"Oh, what is this for? Isn't it just some Fengyoujing? Oh, now the smell is mixed..."
But Tracy seemed not to notice Fang Qing and the others' discomfort at all, and was intoxicated by the rich fragrance in the car.
"What do you know? This is the latest French perfume. Do you know how much this bottle costs? If it weren't for you two, I wouldn't be willing to spray it on others..."
Seeing that his baby was angry, Fang Deli didn't dare to say anything. He could only smile and praise Tracy for being sensible and thoughtful, then changed the subject and began to talk to her about his family situation.
But before Fang Deli could say much, Tracy covered her ears and stamped her feet, "Hey, are you annoying? I'm listening to music, can you be quiet?"
Seeing this, Fang Deli could only shut his mouth and drive quietly.
I thought things would calm down, but Fang Qing spent the entire afternoon listening to Tracy's disdain and complaints.
She either complained that the seats were too hard or that the food in the rest area was too bad. Even when Fang Deli bought a bunch of fruit snacks to please her, she just glanced at them and thought they were cheap stuff.
Fang Qing looked at his uncle who was trying his best to please him, and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. When had his uncle ever been so humble at home?
In order to ease the atmosphere, Fang Qing suddenly thought of the high-end imported fruits in her backpack that Qin Xue had bought for her, and quickly took out a box and handed it over.
"Aunt, I have a box of strawberries here. They're quite fresh. Would you like to try some?"
Tracy was stunned. She turned around and immediately saw the big bright red strawberry in Fang Qing's hand. She couldn't help but be surprised, "Oh, strawberry! This is a good thing."
Although the economy is developing rapidly now, out-of-season fruits like this are still rarely seen on the market in this era. Generally, only wealthy families can afford to buy this kind of fruit at a high price.
Tracy glanced at Fang Qing and looked up and down at this ordinary-dressed girl. She didn't expect that she looked so ordinary and thought she was a poor person. She didn't expect that she would be willing to buy such an expensive thing.
"Oh, these strawberries... aren't they cheap? The box looks like it's imported. Auntie, I have something to say about you. You're a worker who only makes a few dollars a month, but you spend money so lavishly. You should learn to be frugal when you first enter society. You can't expect your family to subsidize you, right?"
Tracy looked down on Fang Qing. Besides Fang Qing's beauty that made her jealous, she also had an innocent and beautiful face. These were the things she envied the most but could not possess.
Fang Qing was a little speechless as he held the fruit. Although Tracy didn't say it explicitly, Fang Qing could still feel the disgust and disdain in her eyes.
"Aunt, although I am a worker, my salary is enough to support myself, so you don't have to worry about me. This fruit was given to me by my friend. I originally planned to bring it home for everyone to taste. Since you don't like it, I'll keep it..."
"Hey? Who said I don't like it? Look at you, kid. I was just kindly reminding you, why did you take it so seriously? I've already taken it out, there's no reason to put it back..."
Tracy held the fruit box tightly on her lap and quickly opened it. A light, sweet fruity fragrance immediately hit her face.
The strawberries must have been washed, each one is plump and has water droplets, which makes people's appetite increase.
Tracy started eating without hesitation. After eating seven or eight pieces, she felt her lips and tongue relax.
"Hmm... this strawberry is good. You really get what you pay for. Deli, look, you don't understand what I like as well as your niece. Next time I want to eat this kind..."
Fang Deli looked at his young wife complaining and felt that he had done something wrong. He kept trying to persuade her, "Okay, okay, we'll go buy it when we get home. We'll buy whatever you like, okay?"
Fang Qing looked at the two people in the front row who were flirting with each other as if no one was around. One was acting coquettishly while the other was mindlessly doting on him. Their enthusiasm was even more disgusting than that of the couples in love at school.
After rubbing his arms and shaking them three times, Fang Qing tried his best to suppress the expression on his face that was about to collapse. He turned his head to look out the window, praying that he could get home quickly and end this inhuman torture.
