Chapter 51 Frivolous
"Mianmian, Xingyue, come and eat jelly!"
My mother-in-law shouted from the kitchen window.
Ruan Xingyue sat on the bamboo chair motionless.
"I'm here, mother-in-law." Ruan Xingmian stood up and looked at Ruan Xingyue again, "You don't want to eat?"
Ruan Xingyue shook her head: "I don't want to eat."
"I want to eat." Ruan Xingmian walked over quickly. She was hungry after a nap.
Ruan Xingyue stared at her happy and cheerful back, her nails digging into her flesh.
The eyes that were usually cynical were secretly filled with stormy waves.
"Xingyue! Do you want to eat?" the mother-in-law called again.
"I don't want to eat." Ruan Xingyue felt that her voice was hoarse when she shouted.
"If you don't want to eat, come and help me and give two bowls to Yan Zi and her daughter."
Ruan Xingyue stood up and suddenly thought of something, "Let Ruan Xingmian go, they used to be good friends."
The mother-in-law stood in the kitchen and muttered: "Your sister just picked up the chopsticks and hasn't finished eating yet."
Ruan Xingyue sat still: "I'm hot and don't want to move."
The mother-in-law couldn't help but complain: "You only know how to order your sister around."
Ruan Xingmian had already picked up the basket: "I'll go, I'll go, it's okay, it's just a few steps away."
Passing by Ruan Xingyue, she couldn't help but ask: "Does she have a dog at home?"
Ruan Xingyue nodded: "Yes."
Ruan Xingmian looked hesitant because she was afraid of dogs.
Ruan Xingyue stood up helplessly: "I'll go with you."
Ruan Xingmian: “?”
Who dislikes the heat?
The Xu family consists of only two people, a mother and a daughter. After the Xu man separated from the family, he took his wife and children and went to work in the coal mine to make a living. Unfortunately, he had an accident.
The person didn't come back and the money was not recovered.
Xu Yanzi dropped out of school early to work to support her family. Because her mother was in poor health, she stayed at home with her in recent years, doing everything from farming to raising pigs.
The two families have been neighbors for many years. The Xu family has no man to support them, so when some women have verbal disputes, the Ruan family always helps the poor mother and daughter.
After a few visits, we are not family, but better than family.
Ruan Xingyue brought half a watermelon with her.
Mother Xu took the things and turned to call Xu Yanzi in the backyard: "Yanzi, Mianmian and Xingyue are here to see you!"
No one responded for a long time, and Mother Xu complained to her daughter.
Ruan Xingyue walked towards the backyard: "Don't disturb her, we will go find her ourselves."
Ruan Xingmian was pulled aside by Mother Xu to exchange a few words of greeting and fell a few steps behind.
Ruan Xingyue took big steps. She was very familiar with her house and reached the backyard in a few steps.
A slightly sturdy figure sat under the shade of a tree, his fleshy fingers pulling a bamboo thread as thin as a hair, his movements skillful and delicate.
"What do you mean by Mian Mian? I'm Ruan Xingmian from the city, and you're so stupid as to call me Mian Mian."
Xu Yanzi muttered to herself, her hands moving quickly.
"Xu Yanzi." Ruan Xingyue suddenly spoke.
Xu Yanzi was so scared that the bamboo string in her hand slipped and the half-finished butterfly clip fell to the ground.
Xu Yanzi raised her head and smiled innocently: "Sister Xingyue."
Ruan Xingyue got straight to the point: "I remember you told me before that Ruan Xingmian is not Ruan Xingmian. Do you remember?"
Xu Yanzi looked up confusedly, "Did I say that? I forgot. Didn't she lose her memory? It's normal not to remember things from her childhood..."
Ruan Xingyue stirred with her fingers, and excitement welled up in her eyes. She didn't remember, but someone remembered.
"Do me a favor and talk to her about your childhood."
Xu Yanzi was confused, but she agreed immediately: "Okay."
When Ruan Xingmian stepped into the backyard, his attention was first attracted by a string of bamboo gourd wind chimes hanging under the eaves.
Next is the exquisite bamboo fruit basket.
"Xu Yanzi, you are so awesome." She smiled and praised sincerely.
I turned around and saw a round face that was similar to the one I remembered from childhood.
Ruan Xingmian was stunned and forgot to ask what the relationship between the original owner and Xu Yanzi was like now.
"Mianmian, come here and sit down." Xu Yanzi raised her face with a smile.
It seems the relationship is okay.
Ruan Xingmian sat down and saw an exquisite bamboo hairpin.
"Yanzi, you really did it!" Ruan Xingmian's face was full of excitement. "I remember your father once wove one for you out of bamboo."
Ruan Xingmian was really excited.
The fruit basket is stunning, the gourd wind chimes are a surprise, and the bamboo hairpins are enough to make her shout out the inheritance and innovation of culture.
Ruan Xingmian had learned bamboo weaving in his past life, but it was both painful and time-consuming. He would spend half a month working on it, but the finished product was often unsatisfactory.
The teacher said that this thing cannot be learned in a short time, and may not be learned in a lifetime.
It requires talent and aura.
People with spiritual energy in their hands can make things come alive.
At that time, she just wanted to make videos to record intangible cultural heritage. After working hard for half a year, she barely produced something that could be shown on camera.
Every finished product in Xu Yanzi's yard is vivid and interesting.
Not to mention this bamboo hairpin with dark green patterns.
The workmanship is exquisite, and the shape is like a summer leaf, lifelike.
When Ruan Xingmian mentioned her father, Xu Yanzi looked at Ruan Xingyue next to her, and she felt what Sister Xingyue felt just now.
She swallowed and smiled bitterly: "You still remember my father."
Ruan Xingmian was completely defenseless: "Every time he came back from outside, he would give me candy."
Only when talking to the real Ruan Xingmian could Xu Yanzi mention her unfortunate father with a smile.
"Once, he carried me up the mountain from the river. If you saw him, you should carry him too." Xu Yanzi asked nervously, "Do you remember?"
Ruan Xingmian nodded: "I remember. In the end, he carried both of us up here by himself. He was so tired that he vomited."
When I really vomited, I held onto the Chinese toon tree at the door.
Xu Yanzi was so shocked that she was speechless.
Ruan Xingmian pointed at the hairpin: "Can I see it?"
Xu Yanzi nodded excitedly: "Look! You can look at it as you like!"
When Ruan Xingmian lowered her head, Xu Yanzi looked at Ruan Xingyue and mouthed out loud - she remembered!
Ruan Xingyue slowly loosened her clenched hands.
Ruan Xingmian couldn't let go of the hairpin, unaware of the two people's little actions.
Because she liked it so much, she was too embarrassed to look up: "How much is this? Can you sell it to me?"
Xu Yanzi shouted, "This is for you! Take it if you like it!"
She shrugged: "It's not worth much anyway. No one would ask the price if I took it to a stall."
So there's no pricing.
At first I wanted to sell it for fifty, after all, the time cost was high.
After three months of display without anyone paying attention, she stopped showing it off.
Ruan Xingmian insisted on giving money, but Xu Yanzi refused it excitedly.
Ruan Xingyue raised her hand to interrupt the shoving and pulling: "Ruan Xingmian, you keep it. Xu Yanzi, come to my room tonight and choose a bag you like."
The two of them stopped at the same time.
Sit back down obediently.
He looked at Ruan Xingyue eagerly.
This scene seems familiar.
Many times the two sisters quarreled and threatened to "break up", and asked Ruan Xingyue to seek justice.
Ruan Xingyue always makes the final decision like she does now, and no one dares to disobey.
Ruan Xingmian held the cute hairpin and took a photo with the blue sky and white clouds as the background before it got dark. She first posted it on her Moments and then shared it with Ji Ling.
After thinking about it, I sent one to Gu Xing as well.
In almost a second, the circle of friends received likes.
Stars sleep well: It's so beautiful. 【Picture】
Gu Xing praised you.
Gu Xing canceled the like.
Gu Xing praised you.
Gu Xing canceled the like.
Gu Xing praised you.
…
Ruan Xingmian took a picture of his phone. Is there a virus?
Fortunately, everything returned to normal after a while.
When her family called her to eat, she put away her phone and ate first.
Ruan Xingyue always stared at her while she was eating, and she didn't know if she was afraid that she would vomit at the table.
Ruan Xingmian finished his meal in a few bites and returned to his room.
Not long after, Xu Yanzi came to find Ruan Xingyue, and the two of them stayed in the room and talked for a long time.
Ruan Xingmian was lying on the bed talking on the phone with her younger sister Ji Ling.
Ji Ling spent the National Day holiday in Haicheng. She said she was tanned and would come back in two days to follow up on the case.
"Mrs. Xu is so awesome! She's sued every last one of the Liu family for fifteen years!"
The Liu family was confused and didn't even know how to find a lawyer.
Ji Ling's aunt completely blocked the news, and the only intellectual in the Liu family was far away abroad and knew nothing about it.
After talking about the happy things, Ji Ling changed the subject: "Mianmian, did you scold Gu Xing for being frivolous?"
Ruan Xingmian sat up cross-legged: "What?"
Ji Ling laughed out loud and sent a screenshot: "Look at his Moments, which only becomes active once every ten years."
Ruan Xingmian clicked on it and saw that about an hour ago, Gu Xing had posted a message on his Moments, which only had two words without a beginning or an end - frivolous.
In just one hour, there were about a hundred likes and a long list of comments, which made Ruan Xingmian dazzled.
Gu Xing’s circle of friends: frivolous.
Ji Ling’s first comment: Gu Xing, who are you scolding?
Gu Xing replied to Ji Ling: Praise myself.
Junior undergraduate: "God, do you have time to help me look at some data today? My stupid junior is stuck on a bug!"
Gu Xing replied to his junior undergraduate classmate: I won’t read it. I’m busy today.
Senior girl: What are you busy with today, senior?
Gu Xing replied to the senior schoolmate: Busy being frivolous.
…
Ruan Xingmian scrolled down and saw dozens of comments. For the first time ever, Gu Xing replied to every one of them, using the keyword "frivolous".
Ruan Xingmian covered his face: "..."
She would never dare to curse again next time.
