Chapter 1209 1209. I don’t mean to advocate that reading is useless! 【2-in-1】
The scene where Lu Chuan walked out of the morning mist, pulling a box and holding white moonlight sunflowers, was an epic scene in the eyes of the old Song family.
So now he is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and looks great. When he goes down the steps, he gives everyone a shock that is irresistible to any age group, as if he has separated the class.
How to describe it?
Just like the standard male protagonists described in short texts in comics, books, and TV, at this moment, he stepped out of the two-dimensional world.
Only Wu Lei remained rational after the brief shock and muttered: "As expected, a man should be pretty and dressed in soap... This black suit is too flattering."
"Pull him down." Wu Ling quietly rolled her eyes: "Just say Zhang Yanping is not good at all."
Wulei:…
…
With so many people watching, Lu Chuan paused when he went downstairs. It was not until he walked down the steps safely that he smiled apologetically at everyone:
"Sorry, I got up a little late, so I asked everyone to wait for me."
“No, no, no…”
The eldest aunt waved her hands repeatedly: "No wait, we are chatting... I heard that you came here overnight? Oops, why did you wake up so early? Why don't you go get some sleep?"
This smile is extremely gentle, and even the tone is light and warm, as if the person in front of him is his own son.
And the couple of children she picked out from their beds in the morning were given by rag pickers on the roadside.
This familiar way of keeping things together brought the stunned people back to their senses. Even Lu Chuan relaxed, his eyes subconsciously followed Song Tan, and then he calmly said:
“Thank you, aunt, for your thoughtfulness. I just slept very well and am in good spirits now.”
Wuling pressed her chest and took a breath silently.
Can't beat it, really can't beat it.
Ten Gong Xinzhi stacked together are just redundant data. And this Song Tan's boyfriend in front of me...
Why don’t you become a star when you are so good-looking and want to be the boyfriend of her ordinary cousin...
In the past, it was possible to console yourself by saying that good men were unrealistic. What should we do now? The greatest reality is right in front of you!
Yunyun was originally talking and laughing with Song Tan, and wanted to give her sister a few instructions, but now she opened her mouth twice and didn't know what to say.
He hesitated for a moment, watching the old Song family exchanging greetings, and had no choice but to pull Yun Duo and walk out the door.
At the same time, he lowered his voice and said: "Did you see? Did you see?! After you go to college and you are capable, you will find boyfriends like this."
“For a person like me who has no ability, the only man he can look for is your brother-in-law.”
Poor Yunduo is still a young girl who has not yet fully realized her love. Faced with this impact, and she is also someone else's boyfriend, she can only be dumbfounded!
Now after hearing this, she didn’t have the nerve to retort that her college classmate’s boyfriend didn’t look that good either.
Just muttered:
“Then if you don’t get married, doesn’t it matter whether you can find someone or not?”
Yun Yun’s eyes widened:
"Hurry up! Stop insisting. If you really have nothing to say, just sort out those packets of dried mushrooms for everyone, so you won't be embarrassed."
She had been giving instructions all morning, and now she was almost dry with words. Thinking about it, she seemed to have said everything she needed to say, so she sighed. :
“Yun Duo. Anyway, you can figure it out on your own, as is your brother-in-law and Song Tan’s boyfriend.”
“If you don’t go to college, you don’t have a diploma, and you don’t have any skills, you can’t really go to the mountains to collect mushrooms, right?”
“It’s cold here, so we can’t grow much. There are quite a few in our hometown, but do you dare to go back? Isn’t that just throwing yourself into a trap?”
She had worked so hard, and now she patted Yunduo on the shoulder: "Go, be more diligent when entering the house, and listen to what other people say."
In the house, I saw this very senior elder pulling another young girl out of the door. Lu Chuan then said curiously:
“That is…”
"Oh." Song Tan thought about it and quickly introduced: "She is an aunt in our village—the reason why she is called aunt is because although she is only in her 20s, her family members are 40 years old. Just according to the man’s seniority and age.”
“It’s for the girl’s future studies—this girl doesn’t know why she can’t think about it. She’s already studying in college, but she still wants to go out to make money. She doesn’t think it will affect her if she doesn’t go to school.”
“I specially asked us to help explain two sentences.”
Lu Chuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Just for the time being, he won’t comment too much on whether he can go to college.
In everyone’s life, only he or she is the participant. We don’t know the whole picture, so don’t make any hasty decisions now.
At a glance just now, he could observe from his professional habit that the young aunt looked relaxed, her limbs were stretched out, and she was elegant...
Obviously, even if she married a man much older than her, she would not be reluctant or suffer at home.
On the contrary, the living environment must be very peaceful and comfortable.
In this short period of time, everyone's group portraits have been engraved in his mind. Lu Chuan greeted him around, his eyes stayed on the face of another strange girl for a moment, and then asked:
“Is this Wu Ling? Last time I came here, I heard my aunt talking about coming back. Hello, I am Lu Chuan, Song Tan’s boyfriend.”
He smiled as he spoke, which made Wu Ling's head feel swollen and dizzy. It was as if 1,000 thoughts were rushing towards her.
However, no one dared to let her compare Lu Chuan with Gong Xinzhi.
How to compare!
Look at this person’s appearance, figure, and outfit...
This is obviously not something that ordinary families can raise.
Look at what people say again, how natural it is to call her aunt, how natural it is to say that one’s own mother has been missing her since the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month...
This subtle sense of detail is so vivid at this moment.
She held it in for a long time, and finally her face turned red and she replied quietly "Hello."
But Wu Lei pinched her arm beside him: "How is it? Did you find any shortcomings?"
He saw Wu Ling sighing: "Zhang Yanping is right, I have never eaten fine rice bran... Where did Song Tan find her boyfriend?"
“I understand, you won’t meet this kind of person in the home-style restaurant or milk tea shop where I work, right?”
“But isn’t she farming at home? How did she meet her?”
She was puzzled.
On the other hand, Wu Lei snorted: "What's wrong with farming? I will still be herding cattle at home next year. My mother said that you should find a partner for me as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will smell like cattle after two years of farming, and it will be even harder to talk to me."
He geared up: "Just wait, I will definitely find someone gentler than Lili this time! Then I will be herding cattle in the fields, and she will be at home to ask for help... This is true love!"
“Look what I’m doing? You don’t understand even if I tell you, so you can just look for someone like Gong Xinzhi.”
The two brothers and sisters glared at each other, which seemed to have accumulated a certain amount of hatred.
On the other hand, Wu Ling glared and suddenly sneered: "Want to find a gentle partner? Dream on, our mother said that you just can't afford to be a homemaker, so you have to find someone powerful to look after you."
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. Lu Chuan paid a visit at this time and brought such an expensive gift. It has special meaning in the eyes of everyone. At this moment, everyone looked at him without any restraint, but as one of their own.
He asked after a while: "When will the construction of your B&B start? Come and ask your uncle to help you then."
After a while, he said: "Xiaochuan, come and sit at my house when you go back to the city. I will bring you a few more boxes of fruit... Don't be polite to auntie."
Zhu Lingqi was even more satisfied and gave Lu Chuan a thumbs up: "Decent!"
"But I'll say it first, if I get married, I can't ask you to be the best man. You shouldn't meet the bride before the ceremony."
The eldest cousin pays attention to the word "practical" as a person.
"You are so good-looking. Who can't hesitate to look at you? I can't give her this chance."
Lu Chuan didn’t know that everything about his cousin was just a plan, so he said curiously:
“Brother, isn’t your girlfriend here today?”
Zhu Lingqi was holding the big kettle and it got stuck.
After a while, he nodded calmly: "Yes. It's the Chinese New Year, so let's not talk about relationships for now. We can confirm the relationship after the Lantern Festival."
Lu Chuan:…
Very good! There is one more typical character setting in the novel.
The people of the old Song family seem to be ordinary people, but if you look closely, you will find that each one has two brushes!
Not to mention anything else, it was Wu Ling who was the instigator of his decent appearance. I saw that this girl looked slightly similar to Tan Tan, but she was not bad at all.
How could you find a boyfriend that the Old Song family would be so cautious about?
Without two brushes, she might not have such luck, right?
Lu Chuan was very curious.
Everyone sat together and chatted, the atmosphere was lively, and the aunt even handed over a bowl of freshly unboxed cherries.
Looking carefully, they are all red to purple, and they were clearly carefully selected from the box.
The red ones were all eaten by the aunt. While eating, she smiled and said to her aunt:
“Aunt Tan Tan, you spent a lot of money during the Chinese New Year... Do you like side dishes? My cousin taught me a way to pickle side vegetables. I will go to the wholesale market and bring you a jar later.”
My aunt is also diligent and thrifty, and is very calm about her stinginess. At this moment, she only nodded generously:
“Okay, if you don’t mind it, come back to the market for a walk. I’ll take some of the bad-quality fruits from my stall for you.”
“Then I don’t mind it at all.”
Auntie said generously: "Our family goes to the small supermarket every night at 9 o'clock. When it closes in half an hour, there are many special prices on fresh fruits and vegetables."
Auntie:…
Even though she had been prepared, she never thought that someone could be so persistent. Looking at the father and son happily holding a big kettle and sipping tea, she really didn't know what to say.
Lu Chuan silently listened to the two chatting, then pinched two cherries and handed the bowl in his hand to Qiao Qiao:
“My aunt specially picked it for you, try it and see if you like it.”
Qiao Qiao has grown up so big, and it is true that she has only eaten cherries from her aunt a few times in the past two years. Now her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly accepted them.
but…
After taking a bite, he secretly said: "It's not as delicious as strawberries."
After thinking for a while, he added: "It's not as delicious as watermelon."
He thought about it again: "It's not as delicious as the cherries at our doorstep - but those cherries go bad very quickly. Brother, please don't leave, okay? I'll pick them for you when they are ripe."
"Hey," Song Tan interrupted him with a smile: "This is what I want to say, Qiao Qiao, why are you so smart to say it for me?"
Seeing the silly boy's eyes shining brightly, she pretended to be thoughtful and pinched a cherry:
“How about this? When Professor Song comes over in the next year, I’ll ask where there are good seedlings, and we can plant a few for our own consumption.”
Just as he was talking, Yun Duo, who had gone out before, came in again, carrying a large basket in his hand, which was packed with plastic bags one by one...
mushroom?
Song Tan looked over curiously.
In terms of thoughtful hospitality, you also have to look at Ulan.
Seeing her, she immediately came forward to greet her:
“Yunduo, it was so noisy just now. I forgot to tell your sister that it was so crowded, so don’t go back—you give her a call.”
As long as Yun Duo doesn't deliberately play devil's advocate, his smile is still very sweet. Even his sharp facial features are much softer at this moment:
“Thank you, auntie—let’s talk about our own affairs, otherwise I won’t be able to scream.”
She said with a longing look on her face: "My sister said she won't come. We haven't seen each other for a long time. She wants to go home and make my favorite mushroom soup, and I will go back later."
Listen, this is so decent!
He said that he was disturbing and that he was not eating here. What a smart kid!
And looking at the girl's bright smile, Wu Lan didn't dare to think that this was the sister Yun Yun was talking about who was quarrelsome with her and didn't want to go to school.
Thinking of this matter, Ulan paid more attention to it, and now he became more sincere: "They are all from the village. I brought so many things when I came here to play. If I tell people, they will laugh at me."
"Here, put the basket here and take it back when you leave. If your sister scolds you, just say it was me."
"These young children in my family have just introduced you. If you young people want to talk, go over there and play. You can eat any fruit and snacks on the table, you're welcome."
As she spoke, she was afraid that Yun Duo wouldn't be able to let go, so she pushed her to the sofa.
At the same time, he said in a loud voice: "Tan Tan, you and Xiao Lu have experienced a lot, so you should also advise Yun Duo. You can do whatever you want at your age. When you are studying, don't delay it because of making some money. "
With her interruption, Yun Duo's hesitant embarrassment disappeared, and Song Tan even smiled and waved:
“Come this way.”
“Do you want to persuade me?” The girl who struggled out of the mountain was not shy at all. She sat on one side and asked directly:
“My sister always says that studying is more important. But studying and a diploma are two different things. I am so young, shouldn’t I take this opportunity to earn more money?”
“With economic freedom, I naturally have the energy to read more books.”
Song Tan thought for a while and pointed at Wu Lei: "I don't have any position to advise you. After all, my brother Wu Lei graduated from university and has come back to herd cattle."
“My brother Yanping also graduated from college and is now doing odd jobs at my house.”
She looked at the clouds and saw that the resistance in the other person's eyes gradually disappeared with the description of these two typical representatives, and then she smiled:
“But what is economic freedom?”
Save up the new books next door and ask for a subscription! The number of words is still small at present, and the full subscription should cost no more than two yuan.
It has been on the shelves for so many days and it has not reached the high-quality line yet, so I can’t hold my head up...
As the title states, I do not mean to advocate the uselessness of reading. Don't argue, it's my fault too.
Good night!
