Chapter 467: Yaya
Xiao Jun silently took out his enamel pot, filled a cup of hot water and held it in his arms, then sat between the two swaying carriages, listening to the noisy voices and the clanging of the train, and the strong smells of various mixed smells still in his nostrils.
At this moment he clearly understood that his mother was showing her power!
What else can I do? She's my own mother, so I have to grit my teeth and bear it.
During the two-day train ride, the crew members who followed the filming had different meals for three times a day. They tried all the food on the train and also ate all the snacks sold at the stations along the way, almost making up for the regrets of the past.
Instead, the scene turned to Xiao Jun. Without music, the audience felt as if a erhu was being played sadly. It was colder between the two carriages, and the wind chilled them to the bone. Everyone pulled out the quilts they brought with them and wrapped themselves in them, holding the warm enamel pot in their hands and taking a sip from time to time.
After drinking too much water, they ran to the toilet again and again, and the line was particularly spectacular.
Everything was a first for Xiao Jun, and after feeling the pain of his bladder bursting, he never dared to indulge himself again.
Except for the three-grain steamed buns he ate at noon and at night on the first day, he ate steamed bread like Brother Gu. The coarse steamed bread slid across his throat, causing a slight sting, and he had to stretch his neck to swallow it, and then take a sip of hot water. He began to wonder if he would develop thick calluses in his throat if he continued like this for a long time, and would he be immune to calluses like Brother Gu and eat delicious food?
Every time he was so hungry that he could hardly bear it anymore, he would only eat half a steamed bun.
The audience saw that the boy who was so fierce before was now like a small and pitiful kid with his claws and fangs plucked out. In the dim carriage, the pair of dark eyes flashed with water, which made people feel distressed and sighed.
And that was indeed the case. While eating, Xiao Jun felt aggrieved and his eyes were red. He couldn't help but think of how he used to be picky about the sumptuous meals and would put down his chopsticks and turn a face when he was unhappy.
He was blinded by the wealthy life and the love of adults. He was born with a selfish character and rarely considered things from other people's perspectives, let alone from the national collective level.
Although he knew that people in some places were poor and could not afford to eat, what did that have to do with him? In his opinion, there was gold everywhere, and as long as people worked hard, they would never starve!
But now he is like a trapped beast, without his comfortable life, and he has to beg for mercy just to fill his stomach.
For the first time, Xiao Jun had to think deeply. Was it true that, as his mother said, he really had no merits at all without the protection of his family?
What does a person need to live a fulfilling life?
Money, knowledge, skills, talents, or health, happiness and joy?
But he was only ten years old and had no idea what was going on. He felt a little depressed and fell asleep hugging the quilt.
On this side, Gu Xiaocao followed Xiao's mother into the black car. Her little face was full of surprise, but her whole body was timid. She only dared to touch the surface and did not dare to move her feet.
She lowered her little face slightly, but her eyes wandered around curiously, and from time to time she expressed surprise and joy with her slightly opened mouth.
Mother Xiao smiled and took her hand.
The little girl quickly pulled it back, but fearing that she might misunderstand, she blushed and whispered, "Auntie, I, I am not clean. I really have fleas and lice. It would be very troublesome if these little bugs were to infect you."
Xiao's mother was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you some clothes, then get a haircut, and then go to the bathhouse."
There was no trace of disgust on her face, but she spoke with some interest.
"We're a bit pressed for time today, so let's just make do with it. When I have another day off, we can go shopping. I'll make sure to dress you up like a pretty girl!"
Gu Xiaocao looked at the gentle smile on Xiao's mother's face timidly, and tried to identify it for a long time, but she couldn't find any falsehood. She pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "Aunt, I will listen to you. You don't have to buy me much. I'm used to wearing these and I'm not cold at all.
The northwest wind is particularly strong here, and it can blow the paper on the windows apart.
Although there is wind in Kyoto, it is much weaker than the northwest wind."
"Silly child, you are our child for the next two months. You have to call me mom!" Xiao's mother said with a smile, "When I go back, I will tell my relatives and friends that you are my new goddaughter.
Since we agreed to participate in this program, we must follow the rules."
Gu Xiaocao was flattered and waved her hands repeatedly: "Aunt, I am just a wild girl. I have never been to school and I go to the mountains all day. I cannot be your goddaughter."
"You can do it, you can do it," Xiao's mother looked around at Gu Xiaocao and said with a smile, "I think you have pretty good features, except for your skinny skin and frostbite. With a little care, you can become a pretty girl!"
Gu Xiaocao was even more embarrassed, and said with joy and trepidation: "No one has ever praised me for being beautiful."
"Just watch," Xiao's mother told the driver to go to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
Xiao's mother was weak in her early years and became pregnant with Xiao Jun when she was 30 years old. At that time, she especially wanted a soft and pretty little boy, but she didn't expect it to be a bad boy.
It just so happened that the old people were quite superstitious. They knew that she might only have one child in her life, and they were afraid that the child would not survive, so they used all kinds of folk remedies, such as giving a cheap name, or letting the boy grow braids and raising him as a girl.
These just met her wishes, so before Xiao Jun went to school at the age of five, everyone thought he was a pretty girl. He had two pigtails, wore high socks, a pink skirt and red leather shoes, and a red dot on his soft white forehead. When he went out, 200% of people would turn their heads to look at him, and he was called a porcelain doll.
Of course, Xiao Jun also has a nickname, Yaya!
When the child grew up and realized he was a boy, he rejected everything feminine. As a result, he went too far and became a naughty child that everyone disliked.
Xiao's mother had no idea that this was a live broadcast. While shopping, she smiled and shared her silly son's past with Gu Xiaocao.
Because of Gu Xiaocao's skin color and frostbite, Xiao's mother did not buy her anything too brightly colored. She only bought her a bright red cape with white fleece, a black turtleneck sweater, black skinny pants, a red and black woolen plaid skirt, and red leather shoes.
A navy blue woolen and cotton windbreaker, a white and pink lotus leaf collar sweater, blue denim flared pants, and white cotton sports shoes.
There are also some headwear, scarves, hats, small bags and so on, a lot of scattered things!
Instead of going home, Xiao's mother took Gu Xiaocao to get a haircut.
The little girl was not getting enough nutrition, so her hair was dry, yellow and sparse, and she tied it up with two red hairbands.
After asking for her opinion, Xiao's mother asked the hairdresser to cut her hair short, until it was a manageable length.
