When Ruan Xi ran up the hill, Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying stopped in front of him.
Ruan Changfu put Ruan Hongbing down and stood to rest for a while. He squinted his eyes and looked at Ling Yao on the hillside, and asked casually: "Who is that?"
Feng Xiuying had no idea, and replied: "She's a good friend."
Ruan Changfu stood and waited for a while, and then said: "She has been in the countryside for too long, and there is no affection between us at all. She is worse to us than a village boy. Look how inseparable she is."
Feng Xiuying said: "She is so old now, I'm afraid she can't kiss us anymore."
Ruan Changfu took a breath: "I don't expect her to kiss us anymore. It's good enough that she doesn't blame us. From the time we met after coming back until now, she refused to say a word to us, and didn't even call us dad and mom."
Feng Xiuying: "Forget it, as long as she doesn't make trouble, it's good enough."
At a distance, Ruan Jie was also standing on the mountain road waiting for Ruan Xi.
Seeing Ruan Xi running to her, she glanced at Ling Yao again and said in a low voice, "He should be very sad, right?"
He and his parents have been in Fengyan Village for so many years, and they have only made Ruan Xi as a friend. He rarely talks to anyone else, almost never talks, and doesn't like to laugh. Only when he faces Ruan Xi will he relax and be happy like
a child. Now that Ruan Xi is gone, he is alone again.
Every day, he goes to the mountains alone to herd pigs and sheep, and drives the pigs home alone at sunset.
Just thinking about it, he already feels very sad.
Ruan Xi took the luggage bag in her hand and didn't respond to this, so as not to make his emotions boil over.
In this era, transportation and communication are really underdeveloped, and the car and horse are slow. Because of the strict control, population mobility is also difficult. Many people only accompany one person for a lifetime, and there are also many people who turn around and stay together for a lifetime.
The separation was hard to bear, but they had to endure it.
Ruan Xi sniffed and called Ruan Jie, "Let's go."
She and Ruan Jie continued to walk along the mountain path. This time, Ling Yao did not follow them. He stood on the hillside, watching Ruan Xi walking farther and farther on the mountain path. Her figure gradually became smaller and disappeared from his sight.
At the same time, she disappeared from his life.
All the scenery in the mountains also lost its color.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie followed Ruan Changfu on the mountain road for two days. After arriving in the town, they stayed in the guesthouse for one night. Because they were very sleepy and tired, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went into the house, washed up, and went to bed without even saying a few words.
The next day, they went to the state-owned canteen to have breakfast. A car from the county came to pick them up, and then they took a car to the county.
The car was a common green jeep in this unit. Ruan Changfu sat in the front as the co-pilot, while Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie followed Feng Xiuying in the back. Ruan Hongbing was small, so he sat directly on Feng Xiuying's lap. They
couldn't keep a distance in the car, but Ruan Xi didn't take the initiative to talk to Feng Xiuying. Ruan Changfu was chatting with the driver in the co-pilot seat. They talked about people and things in the unit, such as who was in the county's armed forces.
Ruan Jie sat next to Ruan Xi and held Ruan Xi's arm tightly.
She grew up in such a big town and had only been to the town twice, not to mention the county or even further away. She had never even seen a car, let alone sitting in one. So she was very nervous, her heart was beating very fast, and her breathing was not smooth.
But fortunately, Ruan Xi was calmer than her, and she felt more at ease when she held Ruan Xi.
It was at this moment that she couldn't help but admire Ruan Xi in her heart. Ruan Xi, like her, had never been far away from home and grew up in the mountains, but Ruan Xi was very calm and not panicked at all.
She knew that she looked very country bumpkin and petty, and she wanted to relax and look at the scenery outside the car window calmly, but she couldn't control herself. She was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
At this moment, Ruan Changfu suddenly turned around and talked to her, asking her: "Xiao Jie, is this your first time riding in a car?"
Ruan Jie smiled quickly, looked at Ruan Changfu and said: "Yes... yes."
Ruan Changfu smiled, "Don't be nervous, you will get used to it after riding twice."
Ruan Jie nodded, "Oh."
Ruan Changgui looked at Ruan Xi after talking to Ruan Jie, only to see her sitting between Ruan Jie and Feng Xiuying, leaning back on the seat with her eyes closed, not knowing whether she was really sleeping or just pretending to sleep.
Of course, he didn't wake her up, and turned back to chat with the driver.
Feng Xiuying sat next to her and talked to Ruan Hongbing while hugging him. This kid was at the age of six or seven and was the most talkative. He either didn't speak or couldn't stop once he started. He talked about everything he saw along the way, and his chattering mouth never stopped.
Not satisfied with talking to Feng Xiuying, Ruan Xi asked, "Second sister, are you sleeping?" Ruan Xi
opened her eyes and glanced at him, and said after a moment, "I am the eldest sister."
Ruan Hongbing looked at her, "But mom said you are the second sister, and the eldest sister is at home."
Ruan Xi glanced at Feng Xiuying again, closed her eyes and said nothing.
At this time, Ruan Changfu turned around and said, "Xiaoxi, Qiuwen is a few months older than you. She is the eldest sister and you are the second sister."
Hearing Ye Qiuwen's name, Ruan Xi rejected her consciously. She also knew that she had not met this heroine yet, and she should not be prejudiced and rejected her, but there was no way, some things grew from her heart.
She has the memories and feelings of the original owner, and these memories and feelings are not completely unaffected by her. The original owner left all his feelings for everyone around him to her, so after she came here, she automatically treated Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua as her relatives.
That was not her pretending, it was left to her by the original owner.
She and the original owner are more like a fusion, so she can't completely put aside the original owner, have no prejudice against people like Ruan Changfu and Ye Qiuwen, and get along with them from the standpoint and identity of a time traveler. She can't.
As Ruan Xi in the 21st century, she really has no grudges, hatreds, or feelings with Ruan Changfu and Ye Qiuwen. It can also be said that they are complete strangers, and they really don't owe her anything, but it's not the case for the original owner.
As Ruan Xi in the 1970s, she can't stand from the perspective of God or a bystander, and look at these things and these people without any personal emotions.
Because she knew the plot of the original novel and knew that the original owner and Ye Qiuwen were naturally hostile to each other, she had a natural hostility towards Ye Qiuwen.
Of course, she would not go out of her way to harm Ye Qiuwen because of this hostility. If she spent her time and energy on dealing with Ye Qiuwen, she would be locked in by the original setting and plot, and even end up like the original owner.
Her purpose in going to the city was very clear - to help Ruan Jie study hard and get into college to change her fate.
Ruan Xi didn't open her eyes, and responded to Ruan Changfu with an "Oh."
Ruan Changfu was choked, and he looked at Feng Xiuying, took a breath, and turned back.
The jeep drove for an hour to the county train station, and the driver got off the car to help buy tickets. When they
arrived in the county, Ruan Jie was even more nervous, holding Ruan Xi's arm tightly for a moment, for fear that she would lose it if she let go.
In order to reassure her, Ruan Xi directly held her hand in her hand and held it wherever she went.
Finally, they got on the train and sat down in their seats. Fortunately, there were not four seats facing each other, but four seats back to back.
After Ruan Xi pulled Ruan Jie to sit down, he breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his expression, and smiled at Ruan Jie.
Ruan Jie covered her chest with her hands, feeling a little more comfortable when she was not in the sight of Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying. She leaned against Ruan Xi and said in a small voice, "Sister, I'm so nervous that I'm dizzy. Why are you so calm?"
Ruan Xi smiled, "I'm your sister, of course I can't panic. If I panic, wouldn't you be even more panicked?"
Ruan Jie understood what she meant, "So you have been pretending all this time? Then you pretend very well. When I really hold your hand and stay by your side, I feel much more at ease."
This is the feeling of being protected and led by someone.
Ruan Xi said, "Grandpa and grandma are not here, there is no one to protect us, especially in the city, we are unfamiliar with the place, we can't count on anyone, if I don't stand up, what will we do?"
Ruan Jie thought about it, "Uncle and aunt..."
Ruan Xi cleared her throat and said softly, "Don't count on them, you can't count on them..."
Ruan Jie pursed her lips, looked behind her, and didn't continue the topic.
The train whistled and stopped at the station.
Ruan Jie was woken up by Ruan Xi, and the two of them took their luggage and followed Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying to get off the train behind the crowd.
Ruan Jie was still a little dazed. She followed Ruan Xi and asked, "Are we there yet?"
Ruan Xi raised her hand to wipe her face. "Yes, we are."
Hearing Ruan Xi say this, Ruan Jie turned her head and looked out the window while walking. Seeing that the platform outside was much better than the platform in the county town, she began to feel nervous again, and even her breathing became subconsciously tense.
After sitting on the train for two and a half days, she was tired and forgot about the nervousness temporarily, but now she thought that she had arrived in the city and would soon go to her uncle's house and meet several cousins, she started to feel nervous again.
Ruan Xi was naturally still not nervous at all, she just felt very painful.
After getting off the train and walking onto the platform, she stopped to take a few deep breaths, which made her mouth swell up.
She didn't like riding in cars. For her, riding a train for two or three days was more painful than climbing a mountain for two or three days.
After finally getting off the train, she naturally had to take a few deep breaths.
Feng Xiuying saw her like this and just asked her, "Are you carsick?"
Ruan Xi shook her head and walked forward with her luggage.
It was evening now, and the residual light of the setting sun shone on the platform, lengthening everyone's shadows.
Ruan Changfu walked in front holding Ruan Hongbing, while Feng Xiuying followed behind with Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, carrying the luggage.
She walked a little behind because she was afraid that Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie would get lost after just entering the city.
After they left the train station with the crowd, there were still jeeps coming to pick them up.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie followed Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying into the car. After sitting down, they took a few deep breaths.
Feng Xiuying saw that she looked very uncomfortable, so she said, "We'll be there soon."
Ruan Xi didn't feel much when she heard this, but Ruan Jie unconsciously tensed up a little.
She still held Ruan Xi's arm tightly while sitting in the car, turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window, holding her breath to see the big city she had only heard about from others - there were buildings on the roadside, pedestrians and bicycles on the road.
Occasionally, you can see a car. She
was so nervous that she couldn't speak. Ruan Jie silently looked at everything outside the car window. Then, when she was absorbed in watching, the car suddenly stopped. At the same time, she heard Ruan Changfu say, "We're here."
She was startled and came to her senses. She saw Ruan Changfu say to Feng Xiuying, "I have an emergency at work and I can't go downstairs. You take them in and settle them down. You don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner. I may not be able to come back."
Feng Xiuying was accustomed to Ruan Changfu's busyness, and responded, "Just go ahead and get busy."
After that, she opened the car door, took Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Hongbing out of the car, and took down the luggage bags from the trunk. Carrying her luggage and watching the jeep go away, she turned around and said to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, "It's the one in front."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie looked at the small two-story building in front and saw Ruan Hongbing running over.
As he ran, he shouted, "Third brother, fifth brother, I'm back!"
Today is Sunday. Except for the two boys, the other three girls are at home.
In the room facing south and west upstairs, Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyue stood up together and looked down from the window of the room. After finishing reading, Ye Qiuwen turned around and looked at Ruan Qiuyang who was leaning on the bed reading a novel and said, "Your second sister is here, let's go down together."
Ruan Qiuyang looked unhappy, turned over with the book in her hand and said, "I'm not going."
Ruan Qiuyang is four years younger than Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Xi, and is the fourth child in the family, while Ruan Qiuyue is the sixth child. The third child is Ye Qiuwen's younger brother Ye Fan, the fifth child is Ruan Hongjun, and the seventh child is Ruan Hongbing.
Seeing Ruan Qiuyang like this, Ye Qiuwen went up and patted her, "Hurry up, after all, she is your biological sister."
Ruan Qiuyang was still leaning on the bed and didn't move, "Anyway, I don't want to go."
Ye Qiuwen certainly knew what she was angry about. Originally, there were three rooms upstairs in the house, and the three sisters slept in one room each. Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying were going home to pick up Ruan Xi, and at that time they agreed to let Ruan Xi live with the sixth child, Ruan Qiuyue.
Who knew that two days ago, Ruan Changfu called back from the train station and said that not only Ruan Xi came, but also Ruan Jie, and asked them to clean up and vacate a room for Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie to live in.
In the past, when the house was not big, Ruan Qiuyang had always lived in the same room with Ruan Qiuyue. She had long wanted to have her own room and her own private space like her elder sister Ye Qiuwen.
This wish finally came true a few years ago, but after only living there for a few months, she had to squeeze into the same room with Ruan Qiuyue again!
She really couldn't understand why they had to bring Ruan Xi along, but also bring a cousin!
Seeing that she didn't move, Ye Qiuwen asked again: "If you don't go down, then I'll leave."
Ruan Qiuyang continued to lie motionless on the bed with the book in her hand.
Ye Qiuwen did not call her again and went downstairs with Ruan Qiuyue.
When they got downstairs, they saw Ruan Hongbing running out, and Feng Xiuying was coming in with Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, so she hurried up to help take the luggage, and said to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie with a smile: "Xiaoxi and Xiaojie, you must be tired from the journey, sit down and have a rest." Then
she called Ruan Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, go and pour two glasses of water."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie hadn't said anything yet, Feng Xiuying took over her words and said: "I'm really exhausted. I've been either riding in the car or walking for more than ten days. My whole body is exhausted. It's time to leave. It's not easy to go back."
Ye Qiuwen put Feng Xiuying's luggage aside, and came over and said, "It's so far. You must be exhausted to go back and forth. There are so many mountain roads to walk. It's not that easy."
Then she looked at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie and called them, "Let's go to the living room to have a drink of water and rest for a while."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie followed Feng Xiuying and Ye Qiuwen to the living room, put down their luggage and sat down on the sofa. Ruan Qiuyue just came over with a tea tray and a few glasses of water. She put the tea tray on the tea table and sat aside.
Feng Xiuying looked tired. She first introduced Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie to Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyue, and then said to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, "Xiaoxi and Xiaojie, this is your eldest sister, and that is your sixth sister."
The eldest sister was naturally Ye Qiuwen. Ruan Xi looked at her and smiled politely, "Hello."
Ye Qiuwen was born in the same year as her, and like Ruan Yuejin, she was a few months older than her. But Ye Qiuwen looked mature, like she was two or three years older than Ruan Xi, and she spoke and acted like an adult girl.
As a heroine with a halo on her head and thousands of pampering, Ye Qiuwen is naturally good-looking. She is beautiful in traditional aesthetics, with regular features, fair skin, tall stature, fashionable clothes and generous manners.
Although they were the same age, Ruan Xi was half a head shorter than her.
Facing Ye Qiuwen like this, Ruan Jie felt inferior and felt that she was not even worthy of talking to her. She was afraid that she would say something ridiculous, and she didn't know what to say, so she imitated Ruan Xi and said, "Hello."
Ye Qiuwen smiled and showed a row of neat teeth. Seeing Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie like this, she smiled and said, "You are a little too polite. You don't need to be so polite here, and you don't need to be restrained. Just relax and come to me if you have anything." Hearing
this, Ruan Xi didn't look at her any more, reached out to take the water cup on the tea tray, and said in a calm voice, "This is my own home, of course I won't be polite and restrained. No one will be polite and restrained in their own home."
Hearing this, the smile on Ye Qiuwen's face froze instantly, and she even felt a little embarrassed.
Feng Xiuying couldn't hear that Ruan Xi's words were sharp, although her tone sounded without any emotion, as if she was talking about something very ordinary and normal. She didn't expect Ruan Xi to embarrass Ye Qiuwen. She was embarrassed herself and said, "Xiaoxi, your elder sister cares about you. Don't talk to your elder sister like that."
On the way here, even before entering the door of this house, Ruan Xi didn't want to have any conflict with the people in this family. But for some reason, she felt that Ye Qiuwen's smile was very dazzling, and she couldn't help holding her breath when she heard her talk. Maybe
it was because she had all the anger that the original owner had suffered in her heart.
What had happened, what would happen in the original novel but hadn't happened yet.
All of it.
The rebellious psychology was so heavy that she couldn't suppress it at all, so she didn't hold it back anymore, and looked at Feng Xiuying and said, "I said, I grew up in the countryside and no one cared about me. No one taught me how to speak since I was a child, and I can't."
The expression on Feng Xiuying's face was about to fall, but she still tried to keep it up.
She owed Ruan Xi, and she felt guilty, so she forced a smile and said, "Xiao Xi, don't worry. We have plenty of time and opportunities when we get to the city. Mom will teach you slowly, and your eldest sister, she is the most..."
"She is not my eldest sister."
Ruan Xi didn't want to listen, and interrupted Feng Xiuying directly.
She knew that her mentality was a little wrong, but she couldn't control it and lost her temper, so she didn't plan to pretend.
She pretended to be polite, she would explode if she was unhappy or unhappy, she didn't want to be friendly on the surface!
So she looked at Feng Xiuying and said word by word: "I am the eldest sister in this family."
Ye Qiuwen's face was no longer smiling at this time, and Ruan Qiuyue was sitting next to her, blinking, her whole face was confused. It was the first time she saw someone in the family dare to embarrass Ye Qiuwen like this, and it was the second sister who just came from the country!
Don’t they all say that people from the country are bumpkins, so why does this second sister look so powerful!
No! She said she is the eldest sister!
She put her legs together, propped up her arms to support her face, and started to watch the show with big eyes.
Feng Xiuying was embarrassed by Ruan Xi. Just when she had no idea how to deal with Ruan Xi, she suddenly heard a voice from the stairs, "Let me see who is the eldest sister in this family?"
Hearing the voice, Ruan Qiuyue looked up the stairs and added a narration in her heart - the fourth sister is here!
Ruan Qiuyang walked into the living room and sat down next to Ye Qiuwen. Then he tilted his head left and right, looked Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie up and down and said, "You want to be the eldest sister right away, amazing!" She is obviously a country bumpkin!
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Qiuyang and smiled, "Ruan Qiuyang, right?"
Ruan Qiuyang looked at Ruan Xi unceremoniously, "Are you Ruan Xi or Ruan Jie?"
Ruan Xi looked at her and smiled, "I'm your eldest sister."
Ruan Qiuyang also smiled, "Sorry, I only have one eldest sister, Ye Qiuwen."
Ruan Xi's smile did not diminish, "Really? Then why do you and her have the surname Ye and the surname Ruan?"
As soon as he said this, he used a knife to scrape Ye Qiuwen's face
again. Ye Qiuwen could no longer sit still, and got up with a gloomy face and hurried out of the living room.
She walked and wiped her tears with her hands, sniffed, and walked up the stairs. She entered the room without closing the door, and lay down on the bed and cried.
Ruan Qiuyue held her face and said, "My elder sister is crying..."
Then she immediately changed her words, "No, it was Sister Qiuwen who was crying."
Ruan Qiuyang: "..."
Her sister is so stupid!
Feng Xiuying is a person without ideas, opinions, and temper. She doesn't know what to do when things develop to this point. Mainly, she can't scold Ruan Xi, after all, Ruan Xi just got here.
And she also felt that this girl could not be taught or talked to. The more she talked, the more she became like a hedgehog, with all her thorns standing up and saying a bunch of embarrassing words, stabbing whoever she saw with her words, without giving anyone face.
Ruan Qiuyang was also very angry with Ruan Xi, and asked her: "Why is one surnamed Ye and the other surnamed Ruan, don't you know?"
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Qiuyang, "Of course I don't know, how can I know in the countryside?"
Ruan Qiuyang was so angry that she said in a heavy tone: "You are from the countryside, you are amazing!" Exhausted
from the journey, Ruan Xi didn't want to talk nonsense with Ruan Qiuyang anymore, she stood up and asked Feng Xiuying: "Where is our room?"
Feng Xiuying stood up hurriedly, "Upstairs, the girls in the family live upstairs."
The two rooms downstairs are her, Ruan Changfu and Ruan Hongbing, one room, and the other room is occupied by the third child Ye Fan and the fifth child Ruan Hongjun.
After spending so many days together in the countryside and on the road, although they didn't say much, Ruan Xi had already understood Feng Xiuying's personality thoroughly. So she basically didn't care about anything, and didn't pay any more attention to Ruan Qiuyang, and directly called Ruan Jie, "Let's go! Let's go to the room!"
Ruan Jie had already been sitting on the sofa and shivering all over.
She really started to be nervous when she left Tianfeng Town, and she was so nervous when she entered this house that she didn't even dare to breathe normally. She thought Ruan Xi was similar to her, just pretending to be calm, but! Who! Knows! The result!
She didn't dare to say anything, let alone breathe. She was helpless here, and only Ruan Xi was her sister, so she listened to Ruan Xi in everything. When she was called, she stood up with her head down, picked up her luggage bag, and went upstairs with Ruan Xi.
Ruan Qiuyang was also confused by Ruan Xi's behavior. After she reacted, she muttered: "Is this a country person? Are all the country people so rude and unreasonable? Are they bandits entering the city?"
After she finished muttering, she quickly got up and followed him upstairs.
Feng Xiuying had to arrange accommodation for Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, so of course she followed him upstairs.
The sixth child, Ruan Qiuyue, who was left with the plate on her face, also quickly followed him upstairs to continue watching the show.
When they got upstairs, Ruan Xi saw Ye Qiuwen lying on the east room crying, and naturally knew that was her room. There were two rooms left upstairs, one next to Ye Qiuwen's room, facing the sun, and the other on the north.
There were beddings in both rooms, and they had obviously not been tidied.
She did not go into the room where someone was crying, and she did not ask Feng Xiuying which room she and Ruan Jie were to be placed in. She went straight into Xiangyang's room, took out the bedding inside, and stuffed it into Feng Xiuying's hands.
Because it was summer, there were not many beddings, just a thin blanket.
Ruan Qiuyang saw Ruan Xi enter her room and take out her blanket, and she rushed over and stood at the door with her hands cupped, looking at Ruan Xi and said, "What do you mean? This is my room, if you want to live there, go live in the north room!"
Ruan Xi looked directly at Feng Xiuying, "If I'm not mistaken, things in this family should be distributed according to age, right? Ye Qiuwen is the eldest, so her room is the best, and the rest should be mine, right?"
Feng Xiuying was speechless after what Ruan Xi said, so she could only stretch out her hand. She reached out to pull Ruan Qiuyang, "Be obedient and let your sister live here." Ruan Qiuyang
shook off Feng Xiuying's hand and shouted anxiously, "I'm not obedient! Why should I be obedient! Why should I give up my room!"
Ruan Xi pointed at Ye Qiuwen's room, "If you're not convinced, go find your elder sister and take her room. Her room is the best, and the clothes in her closet should be the best and most beautiful, right? Don't you want them?"
Ruan Qiuyang shouted, "That's my elder sister's! This one is mine!"
Ruan Xi rolled her eyes at her and reached out to pull her over.
Then she pulled Ruan Jie into the house, closed the door, and locked it behind her.
Ruan Qiuyang was so angry that he pounded and kicked the door outside. Then he turned around and shouted at Feng Xiuying: "I told you not to bring her here, but you insisted on bringing her here. You are just like bandits, don't you want to do anything?"
Feng Xiuying was really afraid of trouble, but the more she feared, the more it happened.
What else could she do? She could only say to Ruan Qiuyang, "Qiuyang, you and Qiuyue should live in the north room."
Ruan Qiuyang squatted down and started crying, "I don't want it! There's no sun in that room! It's so damp!"
Ruan Qiuyue suddenly added fuel to the fire, "Then why are you letting me live there? If you have the guts, go live with Big... Sister Qiuwen! You dare to bully me, thinking that people from the country are easy to bully, but you didn't expect the result, lulululululu..."
Ruan Qiuyang raised his head and glared at Ruan Qiuyue, "You want to die, you little bitch!"
Ruan Qiuyue turned around and ran away, "You are the one who wants to die!"
