Nongben is passionate

Xie Mingyu was walking to Shen's Garden Road. He put his hands in his pockets, and the night wind was very strong, blowing directly to his neck, and his face was numb and stiff.

The villa on Huayuan Road of the Shen family was given to Huang Ziyi after her parents divorced. Xie Jitang has always been generous in this regard.He didn't say in advance that he was going to go, so Huang Ziyi was surprised when she saw him, and she was also very pleasantly surprised, "Why did you come here at this time, and didn't say a word, come in quickly, it's cold outside——"

He let Huang Ziyi pull himself in, and only said: "I heard that you are going abroad—" His voice stopped abruptly, because Huang Ziyi was not the only one in the room, but also Xie Mingyu's grandmother and uncle. He came here specially from Hong Kong when he heard about the divorce - Xie Mingyu suddenly regretted coming here - he has never been close to Huang Ziyi's natal family, and he only goes to have dinner during the Chinese New Year throughout the year, but he never stays overnight.

His grandmother is a tall and strong woman with a slightly masculine face. She is an old smoker who smokes strong men's cigarettes. He always remembers going to his grandmother's house when he was a child. It was an old bungalow over 30 years old. The mediocre and unadorned life wears away the little beauty and delicacy, the paint peels off, the walls are left with yellow stains after being damp, the small building is full of all kinds of furniture, the grandma's family loves to gamble, and it is Chinese New Year, the building Upstairs and downstairs, there was a sound of rubbing numbness and a miasma of smoke. His grandmother was holding a man's cigarette in one hand and resting on the card with the other. She tilted her chin slightly, and her expression was also masculine and arrogant. Not very close, she does not have the kindness and kindness of ordinary old people. She owed a gambling debt in Macau. In order to avoid the debt, she lived in a dilapidated hotel at 20 yuan a night and ate a boxed lunch a day. At that time, she was already in her 60s. .The younger uncle has completely inherited her grandmother's gambling addiction, has a simple and rude personality, has been idle all the time, and only got married two years ago.Xie Mingyu always remembered that this person once secretly pulled his nephew aside and asked him to borrow money with a calm face. Xie Mingyu was 13 years old at that time.

The living conditions presented to him by the Huang family were humble, messy, and vulgar, and had nothing to do with elegance. When he was very young, he hated his grandmother's family very much, and even felt ashamed because he had such a grandmother and uncle. Although when he grew up, he understood that most of this concept was instilled in him by the old lady Ouyang.But in fact, the Huang family always treated Xie Mingyu with a kind of indifference or almost flattering politeness.

Huang Ziyi also understands her son's reaction to her mother and younger brother, so she seems a little embarrassed, let alone.Huang Ziyi has complicated feelings for her natal family. On the one hand, she hates the inaction of her mother and younger brother. Their indecent behavior prevented her from raising her head in the Xie family. On the other hand, she could not sever her bond with the Huang family. , she will still help her mother and younger brother pay off their gambling debts.Just as the Huang family cannot regard Xie Mingyu as one of their own, Huang Ziyi cannot regard herself as the Xie family either.

"Grandma, uncle." Xie Mingyu called out, glanced at a passbook in her grandmother's hand, and Huang Ziyi suddenly felt her face burning.

The old lady of the Huang family still has a strong body, her eyebrows are thick and black, and her dark face is covered by the light blue smoke of the cigarette. On the son—

"I said at the beginning, whoever dares to bully my sister, I let him die, doesn't he just rely on his money? Being rich is amazing, sister, don't worry, I will definitely show you this!" Huang Ziqiang didn't have any scruples about Xie Mingyu, Put down the words in a big bag.

Huang Ziyi was afraid that his impulsive younger brother would really do something, "What are you making trouble for, didn't I tell you that I wanted to leave myself, don't trouble me!"

Huang Ziqiang said reluctantly: "Sister, you are too easy to bully, if you don't give him some color, he will think that there is no one in our Huang family!"

The old lady of the Huang family crushed the cigarette butts with a manly posture, "Okay, I'm leaving, what else can I say." Her voice was hoarse from smoking all the year round, and there was an undeniable strength in it, Huang Ziqiang really shut up. Mouth.

Huang Ziyi said: "Mom, I'm not in China, so I may not be able to take care of you for the time being. You are getting old, so stop gambling. If you really can't stand it, just play mahjong with your old sister at home—"

The old lady of the Huang family waved her hand, "Okay, I know."

Huang Ziyi seemed to have just realized Xie Mingyu's existence, with a slightly uncomfortable expression on her face, "Mingyu, where did you come from so late, let me ask Ah Qin to cook you something to eat?"

Xie Mingyu sat down on the sofa and said, "Are you planning to go abroad?"

Huang Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mingyu, I originally wanted to tell you, but you seem to be very busy, and your grandparents can't do without people now..." Huang Ziyi couldn't continue, she felt guilty, After the divorce, she was a little afraid to see Xie Mingyu - the social circle is so big, everyone doesn't look up and look down, who doesn't know who?Huang Ziyi, as an abandoned wife of a wealthy family, is bound to be talked about for a long time. The best way is of course to go abroad, and come back in a few years, and the matter will be almost forgotten.

Xie Mingyu was not angry, she just leaned her back on the sofa and asked lightly, "Where are you going?"

"France."

Xie Mingyu glanced at her, "French is difficult, can you learn it?"

Hearing the concern in Xie Mingyu's words, Huang Ziyi became happy, "It's okay, there is a language school over there, I can learn slowly, and I can also learn to draw. In fact, going to France has always been my mother's dream. When I was in high school, I wrote about it in a magazine. I saw a photo of a painter painting portraits of passers-by on the streets of Paris. I cut out that photo and pasted it on my bedside, thinking that one day I could become a painter and go to France—” This topic is very pleasant , Huang Ziyi had a girlish expression on her face, but when she saw Xie Mingyu, she became uncontrollably sad again. She stretched out her hand and caressed Xie Mingyu's forehead emotionally, as if Xie Mingyu was still the child from before, soft With weak arms and legs, like a lamb, she once had a surging maternal love and wanted to pour all her brains on this child. However, the long separation made her and Xie Mingyu always seem so strange, and Xie Mingyu showed more and more old Ouyang. The sense of superiority cultivated by the rich family background in the wife, the proud, bright, flamboyant, careless arrogance and elegance, properly handle the ridicule and ridicule, she is a real superior person, as if she has nothing to do with her, gradually, Her heart also faded, and sometimes she even forgot that she had a son.However, at this moment, the once exhausted maternal love poured out continuously——

Xie Mingyu did not refuse Huang Ziyi's touch, his gaze even drifted into the distance, and finally, he said, "I'll accompany you there."

Huang Ziyi suddenly stopped, and said in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Xie Mingyu said, "I'll come back after you settle down."

A happy expression appeared on Huang Ziyi's face, but she immediately became worried, "Is it all right? What about your job, now your grandfather can't manage the board, your grandma..."

Before Huang Ziyi finished speaking, Huang Ziqiang suddenly interjected excitedly, "That's right, how can you leave at this time, or else I'll accompany you, I don't have anything to do here anyway—"

Xie Mingyu squinted and sneered, "Do you know sign language?"

Huang Ziqiang choked for a moment, and immediately retorted, "I can learn. The key is that I am a man, and a woman is away from home. It is always worrying not to have a man by my side - besides, how can you leave at this time? Your old man may hang up at any time, and you will not be around at that time, what a disadvantage, how can you take advantage of them for nothing?"

Xie Mingyu twitched the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "That's also our Xie family's business."

Huang Ziqiang was choked by these words again, he was angry, but he didn't dare to let it out in front of Xie Mingyu, he was always a little weak in front of this nephew, so he muttered: "That's what I said." He raised his head and started lobbying Huang Ziyi, "Sister, you explain that Yu is also the serious grandson of the Xie family. It doesn't make sense to let others take advantage of it. You don't know, but his cousin Xie Xuan is so talented now, and he can easily spend hundreds of millions of dollars. He relies on it, no It's the Xie family, I want to have such a family background, I..."

Xie Mingyu's eyes swept over, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, "You can't even match Xie Xuan's toenails."

These words were a little too much, Huang Ziqiang blushed, and Huang Ziyi also said, "Mingyu—"

Xie Mingyu stood up, he felt that he was sick, what could he say to Huang Ziqiang, "I'm going back."

Huang Ziyi quickly stood up, wanting to persuade her to stay, but she didn't know how to speak, so she walked to the door, Xie Mingyu looked at Huang Ziyi and said, "I will accompany you to France."

Huang Ziyi still hesitated, "Actually, it's okay, it's important on your side—"

However, Xie Mingyu said firmly: "I will accompany you to France." Then he rushed into the night without looking back.

Xie Xuan lay in her childhood room and soon fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, the old lady had already woken up and sat on the bamboo chair in front of the door. The snow-white silver hair was combed neatly and meticulously, and it was golden in the morning light. Two sparrows were pecking at the ground in the yard, and she kept watching.

Xie Xuan came downstairs, walked up to her, looked her in the eyes and said, "Grandma, do you recognize me? I'm San'er."

The old lady stared at him seriously for a long time, and suddenly became happy, "You are San'er, how could I not recognize you, when did you come? It's so strange to say, there was also a person who said it was you yesterday, and still accompanied me We talked for a while."

Xie Xuan didn't correct her, but just supported his shoulder and said, "Grandma, the weather is so nice and the flowers are blooming so well, shall we go for a walk?"

The old lady turned around like a child, pretending not to hear.

Xie Xuan said: "Grandma, let's go for a walk and sing." He tried his best to find a song that echoed the old lady's era from his scattered memories, and sang dryly, "The girl of fireworks, sigh the first song... ...Yiyah, hey, he sold his little slave body, the girl of Fireworks, after sighing for the second time...with sweet words, he tricked the slave..."

Xie Xuan is really not suitable for singing, the old lady leaned forward and backward with a smile, patted the back of Xie Xuan's hand and said: "You are not singing right." She stood up with Xie Xuan's arm, adjusted the expression on her face, as if preparing to sing She did an important thing, and then she sang. Her voice was not as sweet as Teresa Teng's, but she sang with the mellowness and softness of an opera, slowly, like the brilliance washed by water.

Xie Xuan took her by the arm and walked slowly in the yard. Her memory was obviously so bad that she still vaguely remembered the lyrics. She sang "Singer Girl at the End of the World" and "Story of a Small Town". While singing, she suddenly forgot the words. She laughed heartily, very embarrassed.

Aunt Zheng just stood aside and looked at them with a smile, looked at them for a while, and said, "Old lady, can I take a photo for you?"

The old lady liked to take pictures before, and now she was happy, "Okay, let's take pictures together." Then she suddenly became sad, "Do you think I need to change clothes?"

Aunt Zheng said, "No, that's fine."

But the old lady didn't seem to believe it, and still looked troubled, "I remember I used to have a velvet dress, which I made myself, and others saw it, and they all agreed, but I don't know where I put it— —”

She chatted with Xie Xuan about her velvet dress, and when Xie Xuan helped her stand in front of the camera, she suddenly asked with a puzzled look, "What are we going to do?"

Holding the camera, Aunt Zheng said patiently, "Let's take pictures, old lady, stand up and smile."

But she doesn't smile.

Aunt Zheng pointed to Xie Xuan on one side and said: "Old lady, you see your third son is going to bring the bride to see you, how can you not laugh, you scare the girl—"

So the old lady smiled, a little childish, a little joyful, and swayed like water waves.She was standing in the shade of a bush in the yard, wearing an old-fashioned indigo buttoned cloth gown, and the delicate wrinkles on her face made her so delicate.

After lunch, the old lady was a little tired and went upstairs to take a nap. Xie Xuan sat on the porch and watched Aunt Zheng feed a tiger-striped cat with their lunch leftovers——

"Where did the cat come from?" Xie Xuan asked.

"The wild cats nearby come here often. I think it's a waste to throw away the food, so I feed him. This little beast is very difficult to take care of. Some people don't eat anything—" Although she said so, Aunt Zheng I still like the look of looking at the tabby cat.

Xie Xuan walked over and squatted aside to watch the cat eat. It was a cat with a somewhat ferocious appearance. Its long and narrow eyes were slightly squinted, and it looked arrogant and inviolable. Xie Xuan suddenly thought of Xie Mingyu. Xie Mingyu likes cats the most.

Xie Xuan stretched out her hand to touch him, but Aunt Zheng quickly stopped him, "Don't touch him lightly, this little beast is very wild, Xiaofen (nanny) saw us feeding him for so long last time, she must be a little emotional, I just wanted to touch him, but this little bastard was so ruthless, he gave her a paw very rudely, and the scar on his hand has not faded yet."

The tiger-striped cat didn't know if she understood Xie Xuan and the others were talking about him. She raised her long and narrow eyes and glanced at them with a look of contempt. Xie Xuan's heart suddenly softened, and she touched him tentatively. I don't know if it was because I was full and in a good mood, the cat moved its head lazily, and ignored Xie Xuan, and Aunt Zheng also laughed, "This little beast-"

In the evening, He Lin came and Xie Xuan knew that he should leave, which filled his heart with melancholy, and the old lady became a little confused again, staring at him intently with light brown eyes, "Would you like to leave?" Are you leaving?"

"Yes, grandma, I'll come and see you next week."

"Oh...excuse me, who are you?"

"Grandma, I'm San'er, your grandson. I'm leaving now. You have to listen to Aunt Zheng and take a walk in the yard every day. It's good for your health."

"Where are you going? Are you going to school?"

When Xie Xuan was about to walk to the gate of the yard, the tabby cat appeared again, standing silently on the wall, looking at Xie Xuan quietly with topaz-like eyes.Xie Xuan stood for a while, and walked under the wall. The cat was not scared away, but still looked at Xie Xuan with a proud expression. Xie Xuan stretched out his hand involuntarily, and the cat turned its head and seemed to be looking somewhere , and then quickly fell into Xie Xuan's hands.

Aunt Zheng exclaimed, "Oh, this is amazing, this little bastard even recognizes people."

He Lin hesitated, "Third Young Master, this is—" He didn't know if Xie Xuan wanted to raise this cat, Xie Xuan lowered his head and stroked the cat's smooth fur, thoughtfully.

Aunt Zheng probably also felt that Xie Xuan liked this cat very much, so she said, "Otherwise, I'll get a basket to put it in. I think Mr. Xie and this little beast are quite compatible, but wild cats are not very easy to raise, and you are not familiar with it."

Xie Xuan refused, and asked, "Aunt Zheng, please take care of the old lady, call me if you need anything."

Aunt Zheng nodded repeatedly, "This is what it should be, don't worry."

He Lin wanted to pick up the cat in Xie Xuan's hand, but Xie Xuan refused, and got into the car with the cat in his arms.

The cat was not afraid at all. As soon as it entered the car, it jumped out of Xie Xuan's hand and onto the rear window sill. He felt that he saw emotions similar to sadness and nostalgia in his eyes, but all of a sudden, he had already jumped down, scratched his face with his paws, and lay comfortably on the back seat to doze off.

Xie Xuan smiled silently, leaned on the seat and closed her eyes, thinking of Xie Mingyu——
