The green grape leaves were dense and covered like a canopy. The big yellow cat walked back and forth on the grape trellis, like a soldier patrolling on the city wall. If a fly flew up, it would immediately stretch out its furry claws to grab it, and the center of its claws would become a pink flesh plum blossom. There was
an old rattan chair under the grape trellis, and an old man with white hair and a white beard was lying on it and rocking slowly.
Ruan Xi was sitting in front of the main house and painting two pictures, which were of the grape trellis and the big cat on it, and the old tailor sitting on the rocking chair below. After she finished the painting, she stood up and showed it to the old tailor and asked what he thought.
The old tailor took the painting, and the moment he glanced at it, he chuckled: "You have some talent."
Without anyone teaching, he could paint by himself, but he could actually paint well.
Ruan Xi smiled, looked at him and said, "You are so smart, I am not bragging."
The old tailor rolled his eyes at her, returned the painting to her, "Don't brag, you still need to practice to reach this level."
Of course, he still needs to practice slowly, and Ruan Xi is not in a hurry. Living in this mountain, there is really nothing to be anxious about. The most important thing is time. No one is urging or rushing, everything can be done slowly.
Oh, that's not it, isn't Ruan Yuejin urging her from behind?
Ruan Xi took the painting back to the door of the main house, glanced into the house, and saw Ruan Yuejin lying under the sewing machine to pull out the bottom thread. You don't need to look to know that he must be sweating again.
The old tailor recently let him practice sewing seriously, using old thread and some scraps of cloth that are basically useless. Ruan Yuejin was fine at stepping
on the machine, but he couldn't sew fabric properly. The thread would break after he stepped on it a few times, and it was messy when it didn't break. The bottom thread would get tangled and stuck from time to time.
He didn't dare let the old tailor know when the bottom thread got stuck, so he took it out secretly and fixed it himself.
Ruan Xi pretended not to see it and sat down to continue painting.
At noon, Ruan Yuejin went home for lunch, and Ruan Xi stayed at the old tailor's house to cook and eat. Ruan Yuejin came over again in the afternoon. There was nothing else to do, so the three of them were still busy with their own things. The old tailor was tired of staying at home, so he went out for a walk.
After the old tailor left, Ruan Yuejin didn't have the patience to sit and operate the machine anymore, so he stood up from the sewing machine, walked out to stand next to Ruan Xi, talked to her, and asked her: "Hey, is Third Aunt really going to get a divorce?"
Ruan Xi was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to paint, "What's it got to do with you?"
Ruan Yuejin was choked by the retort, and said: "She is my Third Aunt, can't I care about her?"
Ruan Xi sneered, "You should take care of yourself."
Ruan Yuejin was speechless, "Can't you speak properly? "What?"
Ruan Xi stopped writing and turned to look at him, "What do I have to say to you? Have you forgotten that your own mother reported me? You came here to learn the craft to squeeze me out of the old tailor's house, right?"
Ruan Yuejin was choked again, and it took him a long time to speak, "My mother misunderstood you, and she didn't really want to hurt you. She just has a righteous heart and can't stand this kind of behavior. I came here to learn the craft for myself."
Ruan Xi laughed, "A righteous heart?"
Sun Xiaohui has a righteous heart?
This is the funniest joke she has heard since she came here for so long.
Seeing Ruan Xi's sarcastic remarks, Ruan Yuejin held his breath again.
But he did not turn around and go back to the house. He continued, "I still suggest that you persuade Third Aunt and stop her from making such a fuss and making people laugh at our family. Apart from living a good life, everything else is secondary. It's not a big deal to make such a fuss. Family matters can be resolved at home. As for making such a fuss? Which couple doesn't fight? One of them has to be patient. Living a good life and making people envy is the most important thing."
Ruan Xi looked at him with a little cold eyes. She even wanted the pen in her hand to turn into a hammer and hammer this inhuman thing to death. So in their eyes, this matter was Ruan Cuizhi who was asking for death?
Ruan Cuizhi had to deal with Ruan Changgui and Sun Xiaohui, her brother and sister-in-law, and Ruan Yuejin, her nephew. It was a big sin and a disaster for her. It would have been fine if they didn't help, no one would count on them, but they are still making trouble here.
Seeing Ruan Xi's look, Ruan Yuejin was a little scared.
He cleared his throat and said confidently, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"
That's what his parents said at home, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Ruan Xi stared at him and said, "Get away from me! If your family continues to interfere in Third Aunt's affairs, I will ask Grandpa and Fifth Uncle to beat you to death! Stay out of your own business! Stay out of your own business!"
Ruan Yuejin's eyebrows raised when he was scolded, "Ruan Xi, how can you talk like that? After all, I am a few months older than you and I am your cousin! We are doing this for the good of our family and Third Aunt. Are you taking my kindness for granted?"
Fuck you!
Ruan Xi really wanted to shoot this idiot to death with a gun!
She stood up from the bench and stood face to face with Ruan Yuejin, looking at him and said, "For whose good? Are you afraid that Third Aunt will drag down your family? You told Ruan Changgui and Sun Xiaohui to rest assured, no one can count on you!"
Ruan Yuejin was so angry that he turned around and walked into the house, saying, "Women are really unreasonable!"
Ruan Xi couldn't help but turn around and kick Ruan Yuejin on the butt when she heard this.
Ruan Yuejin was caught off guard, staggered forward, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Ruan Xi was afraid that Ruan Yuejin would beat her up, after all, who would care so much when he was angry, and boys are strong after all. So she took advantage of Ruan Yuejin not getting up yet, grabbed her schoolbag, turned around and ran away, and disappeared outside the courtyard gate in a blink of an eye.
Ruan Yuejin got up from the ground and shouted outside: "You little bitch! Wait for me!"
Ruan Xi went out of the yard, picked up her schoolbag, and went straight to find Ling Yao.
When she found Ling Yao on the hillside, she greeted him from a distance and called him "baby."
Ling Yao raised his head when he heard her voice, stood up and closed the book in his hand.
When Ruan Xi walked up to him, he looked at her and asked: "Why are you here so early today?" And she was alone.
Ruan Xi sat down on a stone and said with a slight breath, "I had a quarrel with my cousin who has a big hole in his brain."
Ling Yao sat down next to her, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Xi said, "Because of my third aunt's matter."
She looked at Ling Yao, "You know about my third aunt's matter, right?"
Ling Yao nodded, "I know a little."
His mother Zhou Xueyun mentioned it a few times when she got home, but didn't say much. She didn't like to talk about the gossip of the villagers.
Ruan Xi didn't want to tell him those unhappy things, so she didn't say any more.
Ling Yao took out a little pig from her schoolbag, handed it to Ruan Xi and said to her, "Be happier."
Seeing the pink little pig in front of her, Ruan Xi's eyes lit up, "Pink pig?"
She stretched out her hand to take the pink little pig, and smiled as she looked at it.
When Ruan Jie came on time, the three of them still squatted down to study.
In the evening, they drove the pig home and parted ways at the fork in the road. Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie walked home hand in hand.
Then when they were about to get home, they suddenly heard a sentence: "Stupid girl! Stop right there!"
Ruan Xi turned around and saw that it was Ruan Yuejin calling her, so she ran home.
He ran to the door of his house and hid behind Liu Xinghua, saying to her: "Grandma, Ruan Yuejin wants to hit me!"
Seeing Ruan Yuejin approaching, Liu Xinghua chopped the kitchen knife directly on the chopping board, looked at Ruan Yuejin and asked: "Who are you going to hit? As a brother, you don't know how to love your sister, but you still hit her?"
Ruan Yuejin panted and said: "I hit her? It was obviously she who hit me!"
Liu Xinghua: "How much strength can she have as a girl? What's wrong with hitting you? Did she beat you to death? As a brother, don't you know to give in to your sister?"
Sun Xiaohui stuck her head out of the stove room at this time.
Seeing Liu Xinghua scolding Ruan Yuejin, she didn't dare to speak, but just called Ruan Yuejin, "Come back."
Ruan Yuejin didn't say anything and went back to his own room.
After Ruan Yue entered the house, Sun Xiaohui retracted her head back into the stove room. Liu Xinghua turned to look at Ruan Xi behind her and asked, "Did you hit him?"
Ruan Xi whispered, "I kicked him."
Liu Xinghua raised her hand and patted her, then turned around and continued to chop pig food.
Ruan Cuizhi came back from outside with a backpack on her back. When she got home, she put down the backpack and wanted to help with the work.
Liu Xinghua didn't let her do it, but asked her to pour a bowl of water and sit down to rest.
During these days living in her mother's house, she seemed to like chatting with Ruan Xi. After sitting down to drink some water and rest, she invited Ruan Xi to sit with her, and then asked Ruan Xi: "You go to learn the craft from the old tailor every day, how is your learning going?"
Ruan Xi smiled and said: "Not bad."
Then he lowered his voice, "Anyway, I learn better than Ruan Yuejin, he is just a fool!"
Ruan Cuizhi couldn't help laughing, "Then study hard, it's good to have a skill."
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Cuizhi's face, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Third Aunt, you seem You are good at sewing, right? When I learn it, I will teach you the craft. In the future, my master... well... when I am gone, you will be the only tailor in the mountain, then you will definitely be well-fed and well-drinking, you don't know how good my master's life is. "
Ruan Cuizhi laughed, "Can I do it? I am already this age."
Ruan Xi said: "How old are you? Just in your early thirties, very young, right?"
In her era, people of this age were not married yet.
Ruan Cuizhi laughed at what she said, "I'm afraid I'm too stupid."
Ruan Xi patted her hands and said, "As long as you want to learn, I'll take care of it. When you really become a tailor, no one on this mountain will dare to look down on you. Look, the old tailor has never found a wife in his life and is still a bachelor, but isn't he still very proud? Look, who on this mountain doesn't respect and honor him, and politely calls him "Master" when they meet?"
Ruan Cuizhi thought about it, "It seems so."
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "So as long as a person has the ability, no matter how he lives a life that does not conform to the secular standards, he can still be respected by others. The old tailor This is a living example! What's wrong with not getting married, having no children and no family, being a bachelor, you still have to be polite and call me Master!"
Ruan Cuizhi nodded as she listened: "You are right."
Ruan Jie was helping Liu Xinghua outside, and smiled and whispered: "Sister is brainwashing Third Aunt again."
Liu Xinghua didn't understand, "Brainwashing what?"
Ruan Jie was about to explain the meaning of this sentence, when she heard a clearing of the throat, and then a voice: "Mom."
Liu Xinghua and Ruan Jie looked up and saw that it was Liu Xiong who came.
Not only did he come by himself, but he also brought his little son.
He put his little son on the ground and told him, "Call grandma quickly."
Little Tiger's grandmother called out, "Hello, grandma."
Then she said, "Dad and I are here to look for mom."
