Jinyun borrowed Yunxi's electric scooter, rode to the vegetable market, bought some food, and then rode back home.
After a year away, the old house in front of me still retains the same appearance as before I left.
The exterior walls of the building are worn away by the years, and the faded doors and windows and greasy walls are full of dirt.
Seen from a distance, it looks like an isolated island forgotten by time, standing silently in the tide of the development of the times.
Jinyun pushed open the rusty iron door, and a teeth-grinding creaking sound rang out in the corridor.
After climbing the last step, he finally returned to his door. On the door was the couplet he had written last year, with the big words "Happiness and Health" inscribed on it. Looking at it now, it felt very sad.
"Ugh."
Jinyun let out a long, pretended sigh, took out the key, opened the door and went into the house.
There was a faint smell of smoke in the air, and the table and floor in the living room were visibly covered with a layer of dust. Only the kitchen and bedroom remained basically clean.
From this we can see that my father has not stayed at home properly for a long time since my mother was hospitalized.
Light the fire, wash the vegetables, and cut the vegetables.
Jinyun prepared the native chicken skillfully and put it into the soup pot to stew.
Chicken soup must be stewed for at least 40 minutes. The fiber of chicken is relatively coarse. If it is stewed for a shorter time, the protein and many nutrients in the chicken cannot be completely diluted into the soup. Drinking this kind of chicken soup will cause nutrient loss.
Therefore, although Jinyun got up very early, it was already eight o'clock when he finished all these.
At this time a while ago, he was still struggling to get up from his bed in the apartment and start his day as a slave.
Now that I have some money and don't need to work like a slave, my mother...
Alas, does fate really like to pick on the unfortunate people?
Jinyun packed the chicken soup in a lunch box and ate a few buns with the remaining chicken soup in the pot.
I originally wanted to leave a portion for Sister Xi, but she doesn’t like chicken soup very much.
He rode Yunxi's electric scooter to the clinic. Since they had agreed to go to the hospital together, the clinic was not open.
However, the small door next to the rolling door was open.
"Ok?"
From a distance, Jinyun saw a circle of people surrounding Sister Xi's clinic.
It was noisy and chaotic, as if they were watching some excitement.
He stopped his bike outside the crowd, then squeezed in. After seeing the scene in front of him, he was immediately shocked.
I saw a magnificent Maybach parked at the door of the clinic. Its streamlined body and shiny doors looked magnificent in the morning light, and the glow was so bright that it was hard to take your eyes off it.
No wonder there was a crowd of people around.
To be honest, seeing a Maybach in an old county town is basically unprecedented, and it is even more shocking that this thing appeared outside an old community that can be described as a garbage dump.
And Yun Xi was standing next to the car.
But what Jinyun was more concerned about was the young man standing in front of Yunxi, holding a rose in his hand.
A white shirt, a slender figure, a bold and confident smile, and a Patek Philippe watch worth millions on his wrist.
The young man was like a peacock with its buttocks spread out, talking incessantly and boasting to Yun Xi with great excitement. Jin Yun could vaguely hear words like "my father XXX" and "one of the top 500 companies in the country".
As for Yun Xi, she hugged her chest and frowned, with a calm expression in her beautiful eyes. She had no interest in the young man's boring speech, and looked like she had just woken up.
At this moment, her lazy gaze fell on Jinyun, and then her half-open eyes widened a little.
"You're back? Let's go then."
Yun Xi yawned, walked slowly and gracefully to Jin Yun, and took his hand. Her movements were natural and smooth.
Jinyun watched helplessly as the young man's arrogant smile gradually turned into dullness and confusion. It was not until Yunxi led Jinyun away that he hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and followed, blocking their way:
"Wait! Miss Yunxi, I haven't..."
"Sorry, I haven't eaten yet. Let's talk later."
"Ah, I'm going to have dinner there too. The VIP room at the resort hotel in Binhe New District has all kinds of high-class food from England, Germany, America and France. The chefs are all super chefs from Michelin restaurants abroad!
"Miss Yunxi, come and take my car with me? That hotel is owned by my father's friend. It is the only one of its kind in this remote area. Ordinary people can't enjoy it at all!"
“That’s great.”
Yun Xi still had a lazy tone, holding Jin Yun's hand and trying to get around him, but he was really a dog-skin plaster, and he immediately stuck to him again after being pushed away:
“Ms. Yunxi, you may not know my name, Chen Yun, but you must have heard of the name of Fangzhou Group. The development projects in Binhe New District are all invested by my family. Even the county magistrate has to give face to my father!
You can never imagine what kind of a fairy-tale life you can live with me. I can let you do the world's top skin care every day, buy you the most expensive skin care products, travel in luxury cars, and live in a big villa with a garden.
As long as you ask, any luxury house in any city will be in your name immediately. I can give you anything and I am willing to do anything for you!"
"That's interesting."
Yun Xi's unchanging calm voice had a hint of playfulness in it: "Are you willing to do anything for me?"
"Yes! This is not some bullshit romantic confession line. With my ability, I can really do anything for you!"
Chen Yun's face once again regained his flamboyant and confident smile, which made Jinyun want to punch him in the face.
"can."
Yun Xi nodded, agreed to the conditions proposed by Chen Yun calmly, and gave him a frivolous smile.
Seeing this smile, Jinyun unconsciously took a breath of cold air in secret.
Generally speaking, when Sister Xi shows this smile, she must have come up with some weird idea that will either cause trouble or cost people a lot of time.
Chen Yun thought that the other party was attracted by the conditions he offered, and was overjoyed.
However, before Yun Xi could express his joy, he regained his composure and slowly said:
"You can imitate the barking of a dog."
"what?!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chen Yun froze in place.
The crowd of onlookers around started talking about it, as if they were watching a drama live, and were looking forward to what would happen next.
"Why? You don't want to? Didn't you say you'd do anything for me?"
"I......"
Seeing the other person's dazed face, Yun Xi turned around and smiled faintly at Jin Yun:
"Jinyun, why don't you imitate the barking of a dog and show me how to do it."
Jinyun understood what he meant, and immediately cleared his throat, imitating Chen Yun's tone, and said confidently:
"'Miss Yunxi, I am willing to do anything for you'!"
Perhaps amused by Jinyun's weird expression, the usually cold Yun Xi couldn't help but smile, and the onlookers around him laughed together.
Chen Yun realized that he was being fooled and his face turned red, and he wanted to get angry, but for the sake of his face, he had to suppress his anger and said:
"Ms. Yunxi, my love for you is genuine! Even if you don't want to accept it, there's no need to humiliate me like this, right?"
"like?"
Yun Xi slightly raised her crescent-shaped eyebrows, and the smile on her face turned into anger and ridicule.
"Okay, then I'll give you another chance."
She glanced around and asked a man from a nearby car repair shop for a sledgehammer, then handed it to Chen Yun:
"Come on, smash your car, and I'll go with you."
"Wha, what?!"
Chen Yun was shocked again.
The Maybach he drove was worth more than 7 million yuan. Although it was not a lot of money for his family, he still felt distressed when he smashed it.
What's more, that was his father's car. If the other party knew that he smashed the car in order to pick up a woman from the slums, he would definitely not be forgiven.
"Ah."
Yun Xi had expected this and handed the hammer to Jin Yun: "Jin Yun, smash your car."
Jinyun and Yunxi have always been in tune with each other, and with the lessons learned from the past, how could he not know what the other party is planning.
He picked up the hammer and smashed the front of the electric scooter to pieces without saying a word.
The electric scooter that had been with Sister Xi for several years became a victim.
"Did you see that? True devotion is not based on what you have, but on what you only have. How dare a young boy like you talk nonsense about love in front of me?"
Yun Xi's complaints were as sharp as ever. She was usually a quiet person, but once she started complaining, she would never stop until her words were shocking.
Chen Yun, who felt that he had been fooled, finally shouted in anger:
"Fuck, are you kidding me? He has a broken electric donkey and you want to compare it with my Maybach?"
"In my opinion, your precious gold-like industrial product is not as practical as it. It can be ridden to the vegetable market. Can you?"
"Sister Xi, let's go."
Jinyun shrugged and added at the right time: "Master Chen, our small temple can't accommodate a big Buddha like you, you should go back to where you came from.
But be careful when driving, don't let your tail lift up into the sky and lose sight of the road ahead so you can crash into other cars, otherwise, your precious baby will be ruined~"
After saying that, Jinyun tightly grasped Yunxi's soft and boneless hand, and walked away with the chicken soup.
After turning two corners, Jinyun asked:
"Where did that guy come from just now?"
"Haven't you heard what others say? The eldest son of Fangzhou Group is so powerful in this small county that he can cover the sky with one hand."
"Why would Fangzhou Group come here? Our small county is remote and poor..."
"His father's ancestral home is here. He probably wants to support his hometown when he becomes rich."
"How did you get entangled with him?"
"I came across it by chance in the mall half a month ago. It's like a dog-skin plaster. If there is a next time..."
A fleeting hint of coldness flashed across Yun Xi's emerald green eyes.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You did a great job just now."
Jinyun scratched his head and said, "Well, shall I buy you a new electric donkey?"
"It's not necessary. It can still be used after repairing it. Besides, there are shared bikes."
"Hmm, I see..."
"what happened?"
Yun Xi glanced at Jin Yun nonchalantly, "You seem to have something to say."
"Well, I was thinking, why don't we buy a car?"
"...!"
"You know my mother's situation. In the last few days, I want to take her to see different places.
I have passed the driving test, so I was thinking, let’s buy a bigger car and go on a self-driving tour together…”
As he was talking, Jinyun suddenly noticed that Yunxi's hand was getting tighter and tighter, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Sister Xi, what's wrong with you?"
"Hmm?" Yun Xi was stunned for half a second as if waking up from a dream, "No, nothing."
"Oh... Anyway, I've already made up my mind. I'll buy a seven-seater SUV. An RV is also fine. Which one do you like?"
"casual."
"After buying it, we will start from here and travel by car, taking the Sichuan-Tibet Line, the Beijing-Shanghai Line and so on, so that my mother can see the snow-capped mountains and plains, and the big ships on the sea.
Maybe once she's in a better mood, her illness will heal?"
